Chapter 11 Recording of the Idol’s Son
In early June, the recording of the talent show "Idol's Son" officially began. The recording venue was in Zhonghai City. Zhou Yu did not have to travel to other places to participate in the recording.
This show is the first variety show in China. It is a big-investment show in Taochang. It has sufficient resources and funds, and the recording venue and dormitory are in good condition. Now the recording of the first phase has just begun. One hundred contestants will be graded and eliminated in this first phase. In the end, only 60 contestants will remain.
Zhou Yu and the others entered here a week in advance, and the program team conducted unified training and management for them before the game. During the subsequent recording of the program, they will eat, drink, live and travel here. Unless there are special circumstances, they have to ask for leave from the program team before they can go out. And in order to prevent the program recording from being spoiled by the contestants in advance, even communication tools such as Zhou Yu's mobile phones are managed by the program team, and the usage time of mobile phones is strictly stipulated.
The rules of this show are also very simple. Starting from the first period, the remaining 60 contestants will compete later. The 500 on-site audience votes and the votes of the instructors will be used for comprehensive scoring and ranking, and the last elimination system will be adopted. The person who finally reaches the finals and wins can get the resources from Taochang and make a successful debut.
In the resting area for the contestants backstage, Zhou Yu was sitting quietly in the corner with his guitar on his back, dressed plainly and simply. As an amateur player, he is obviously different from these trainees, most of whom are sent by entertainment companies. The trainees of the entertainment company all wear exquisite makeup and dress up beautifully. In terms of appearance, they are no different from celebrities. Company trainees like them are sent in batches and packaged by the entertainment company. They don't expect these trainees to be popular. As long as one of them is popular, they will all make money.
In addition to the trainees sent in by these entertainment companies, there are also amateur players like Zhou Yu, but they are very few. And there are not only trainees from entertainment companies and amateurs like them, but also some contestants who have already had debut experience, or even released a song album, who have never been popular. These people, with experience and strength, are the biggest threat.
Sitting next to Zhou Yu was a young man who was also like him, carrying a guitar, but he had a nervous look on his face and had been drinking water. He looked like he was in his early twenties. Sitting next to Zhou Yu, he took a sip of water from time to time and held the shoulder strap of his guitar bag tightly with one hand, looking a little restless.
Seemingly noticing Zhou Yu's eyes, the man forced a smile and nodded towards Zhou Yu.
Seeing his nervousness, Zhou Yu said kindly: "Don't be nervous. The more nervous you are, the easier it is for you to perform poorly. Calm down."
The man looked a little embarrassed. He looked at Zhou Yu and saw that his face was as calm as the debut players he met online. He couldn't help but be curious: "Brother, are you also a debut player?"
Zhou Yu looked at this man who felt a little younger than himself. He was fair and clean, but his voice was relatively low.
"Well, I'm just an amateur. What about you? An amateur? Or a trainee?"
Hearing that Zhou Yu was an amateur, a flash of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, and he felt a sense of intimacy in his heart: "I am also an amateur, a junior student at China Overseas Conservatory of Music. I just wanted to come and participate in the show."
After talking to Zhou Yu like this, the man was obviously not as nervous as before.
"Brother, my name is Zhao Lei. Please take good care of me in the future."
"Zhou Yu."
The two amateur contestants, among a group of contestants who were mostly trainees from entertainment companies, made Zhao Lei feel somewhat familiar with Zhou Yu.
"Come! Contestants enter the venue and choose their positions according to the requirements later."
A staff member came to inform Zhou Yu that they were starting to enter the recording hall. The first program was purely instructor-rated and there was no live audience. In the hall, the seats have already been divided according to the four levels of ABCD, showing a ladder shape. The higher you go up, the higher the level and the fewer seats.
"Before the official start, the players will rate themselves and choose seats of the corresponding level."
After hearing this, the players looked at each other. Everyone thought that after the start, the instructors were rating themselves. As a result, now, before performing, I just ask myself to rate myself and sit down according to the grade position.
How embarrassing would it be if you rated your level too high and then the instructor did not meet your expectations when you rated it, and you would be demoted from your original level?
But what if it’s bottoming? Will others look down on you?
This is also a link deliberately set up by the program team, which is to let the audience see the contrast and difference between the contestants before and after, and to have a sense of gap. Their players rate themselves, and they will probably give themselves a more fair grade, or if they are confident, they will rate it very high. But if the instructor's evaluation later fails, it will be a slap in the face.
Backstage, director Jiang Dan looked at these helpless students with interest. Seeing that they were still taking no action, she asked her subordinates to urge them. This was the effect she wanted.
"Please urge me below to hurry up and not delay the recording time."
The staff at the venue did not dare to delay when they heard Director Jiang Dan's words, and their tone was a little impatient.
"Hurry up, don't waste time, I'll give you three minutes, quickly choose and sit down."
Hearing this, the players did not dare to delay. After a moment of hesitation, they began to sit down in groups according to the levels they had planned for themselves. Starting from level D at the bottom to level B, the seats were all filled up immediately, and the few seats at level A above were still unoccupied.
Zhao Lei followed Zhou Yu, a little panicked: "Brother Yu, why don't we find a seat below and squeeze in?"
He glanced at the A-level positions at the top and didn't dare to think that he could sit on them, especially those around him who didn't choose a position. They were all those who had debuted or released songs, or even... The top trainee of the entertainment company. As soon as he finished speaking, these people had already stepped forward.
Everyone's attention is focused on these A-level trainees. They are all in the circle, and they have heard of them more or less.
"This person looks familiar. I remember he was a trainee in Country H. He also released his own song. What's his name?"
"Li Xingyu, I know him. Back then, a domestic company was preparing to sign him. However, he went abroad for his studies. He worked as a trainee in Country H for two years. He also released his own personal single. Weibo fans There are a million each.”
"Hey, dear, I'm all a prodigy. It's over, I'll definitely be the champion."
…
Among them, the one who attracted the most attention was the man wearing a blue sweater. He was dressed very delicately, looked handsome, and had a strong sense of confidence in his eyes. The whole person has a very good image and temperament. He is a trainee in Country H, a big star-making country, and has a good foundation. Moreover, the whole person also reveals the temperament of an H-class handsome boy.
This is the favorite to win the championship, and the person who everyone thinks has the best chance of winning the championship.
Everyone watched them sit in the A-level seats. Li Xingyu stood in front of the C seat in the middle. They looked at this seat for a long time, and everyone's hearts were condensed.
Does he want to sit directly in seat C?
Even Director Jiang Dan, who was looking at the monitor backstage, had a look of curiosity on his mature and delicate face.
As a result, Li Xingyu just looked at it for a while and then sat down in the seat next to him.
"Let me go, he didn't even sit in the C seat. Even if Li Xingyu is so powerful, who dares to sit?"
I don’t know who said this, but everyone’s eyes were on Zhou Yu and Zhao Lei, who had not yet chosen their seats at the end.
They were the only ones left. Should they choose to sit up there, or find someone to squeeze in below?
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhou Yu and the two of them. In the eyes of everyone, Zhou Yu moved.
I saw him carrying the guitar, looking at the C seat in the middle, and looking at Zhao Lei, a young man who had just graduated: "You are here, you have to have confidence in yourself, come on, sit on it with me."
Then under the surprised eyes of everyone, Zhou Yu sat directly on the C seat, and the scene was completely silent.
