Lu Jinshan smiled at Luo Yuzhu and said, "If you have any problems in the future, remember to look for me. I'm going to have dinner with my friends first."
"Okay, thank you, Director Lu."
"I'm too polite. Call me Uncle Lu from now on. Your father and I are friends." Lu Jinshan said quickly.
"Okay, Uncle Lu."
The old man gave Tang Xiaobao a thumbs up.
Everyone also praised it.
Tang Xiaobao felt quite embarrassed, but he had almost finished eating anyway, so he paid the bill and left.
That night, because Tang Xiaobao was tired from driving, he found a hotel in Wenjiang District early to rest.
The next day, as planned, Luo Yuzhu arrived at the hotel very early. The three of them went to a nearby breakfast shop to have breakfast and were about to go to the city for sightseeing. Unexpectedly, Luo Yuzhu received a call from the Voice of China program crew.
After hanging up the phone, she said a little apologetically: "The organizer suddenly notified me to go to rehearsal, so I may not be able to take you out to play today."
Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll just accompany you to the rehearsal and see it for myself. I've never been to a live recording before."
"Will you come with me to rehearsal?"
Luo Yuzhu's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "That's great."
"Come on, I'll drive you there."
After getting in the car, Luo Yuzhu began to introduce the competition system of the Voice of China program to Tang Xiaobao.
Although it is called the rematch, in fact this is the third competition and the final of the division.
First, hundreds of qualified contestants were selected through auditions, and then 24 seeded contestants were selected from them. In two days, the finals of the Western Division will be held, and the top eight will be selected to represent the division in the national finals.
There are twenty-four contestants, and there are only two days of rehearsal time, twelve people per day.
Today is the second day of rehearsal.
The recording of this program was held in a recording hall of Sichuan Satellite TV.
The Voice of China program team is very rich because they have a cooperative relationship with Sichuan Satellite TV. Therefore, the latter has specially opened a studio where dozens of musicians form a band to dub the singers.
When we arrived at the studio, it was very lively.
This place can accommodate a total of 500 spectators, and there will be 500 public judges participating in the voting during the finals.
Tang Xiaobao and Yingying sat in the audience, where there were also many friends brought by the participating singers.
Both of them are easy-going and inconspicuous.
Although Luo Yuzhu is pretty, her score in the last rematch was average. After asking the director, she came over and said, "It's over. I'm the last one to rehearse, so I probably won't get my turn until this afternoon."
"Ah, then why did we call you here so early?" Tang Xiaobao was stunned.
Luo Yuzhu said: "The production team has always been very overbearing. We are just contestants, who would care about us? The attitudes of those band teachers are not very good either."
I saw director Gou Mingli holding a loudspeaker and directing something not far away.
Tang Xiaobao understood and said with a smile, "It's okay, just wait. I can just watch how they rehearse. Oh, and what about lunch?"
"There is fast food here for lunch, but you have to pay for it yourself. It's 20 yuan per serving, but I don't think it will taste very good." Luo Yuzhu said apologetically.
"It's okay, it's okay. Let's just play here. By the way, what song have you prepared for the competition?" Tang Xiaobao asked.
Luo Yuzhu sat down, frowned, and said with some concern: "Actually, my overall strength is not outstanding. In the previous semi-finals, I only ranked in the middle and my performance was a bit abnormal. This time, with 24 people competing for the top eight, my hope is not great. So I prepared "Liangliang" for the first round. This song is quite familiar to me and I practice it often. If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to enter the second round. I want to take a risk and sing a more difficult song then."
Tang Xiaobao blushed, "Is the competition that fierce? What are you going to prepare for your second song?"
"'It's Dark'."
Tang Xiaobao was stunned. "It's dark? I don't seem to be familiar with this song, but if you want to sing it, then let's sing it. Let's relax and just treat it as having fun. When making music, the key is to have fun yourself."
"Actually, I want to sing this song mainly for my grandmother, who has passed away. However, the arrangement of this song is very simple, with only piano accompaniment, so it's difficult to sing. I always have trouble with the beat. Today, I only have three chances, and I want to use them all to sing this song."
Tang Xiaobao said: "Okay, I support you."
…
Finally, contestants came on stage for rehearsal one after another.
You know what, they are all very strong, stronger than Tang Xiaobao expected.
However, "strong" refers to technique. When it comes to voice, Tang Xiaobao was not impressed.
After a while, a group of people suddenly came over.
The leader was a beautiful girl.
As soon as she came, Luo Yuzhu's face turned a little ugly.
"Hey, you're here really early, junior."
The beautiful girl also brought a few classmates with her. They came over and sat not far from Luo Yuzhu, speaking in a sarcastic tone.
Tang Xiaobao glanced at the beautiful woman.
In terms of appearance, she is comparable to Luo Yuzhu, but in terms of temperament, she is slightly inferior.
Luo Yuzhu responded indifferently: "It's not early anymore."
"Is this your boyfriend?" asked the beauty.
Before Tang Xiaobao could say anything, Luo Yuzhu replied, "Yes, by the way, Zhang Dandan, your boyfriend didn't come?"
She is a little proud.
Zhang Dandan, it turns out that this beauty is called Zhang Dandan, and she and Luo Yuzhu are both influential figures in the music conservatory.
"Don't you know? Dandan's boyfriend is very busy at work. He's having dinner with a foreign client right now, right, Dandan?"
One of Zhang Dandan's close friends started showing off.
"Yeah, Yuan Liang isn't that free, but he did say that as long as I can make it to the national finals, he'll definitely go to Jiangzhe TV to support me, and he'll also take time off to travel abroad with me for a month."
Zhang Dandan said this smugly.
"Congratulations, with your strength, you will definitely be able to enter the national finals." Luo Yuzhu said calmly.
Zhang Dandan became even more proud and said, "Even though I ranked third last time, it's hard to say for sure. What if something unexpected happens? But you have to keep working hard too, junior. We are the only two people in the music academy who made it to the regional finals. Even though you ranked twelfth last time, as long as you work hard, you might make it into the top eight."
"Dandan, this really depends on your strength. Not every contestant has the strength you are confident in."
"That's right, Dandan, you're in the top three, so you'll definitely make it to the finals this time. But as for my junior sister, it's harder to say. But it's always right to keep trying."
"Junior, you have to work hard and learn from Sister Dandan. Even if you can't make it into the top eight, it's good to move up one or two places. After all, being able to get this far is something you should be proud of."
sweat……
Several girls were stepping on Luo Yuzhu.
Zhang Dandan smiled and said, "Yes, junior, we will all cheer you on. You should always have dreams. You can't just give up. What if your dreams come true?"
Luo Yuzhu said coldly: "I will try my best."
Several girls laughed, and their laughter was particularly cunning.
