Chapter 129: Singing audition, stunning everyone!
Not long after, Assistant Director Zhang Yibai knocked on the door and asked:

"Dear teachers, the audition has begun. Who should start first?"

Shen Ye raised his hand and said, "Let me go first."

He prides himself on being a senior and he should shoulder more responsibilities. He also thinks that after he finishes singing, he will have the leisure to watch the artists coming up and he can feel more relaxed.

Zhang Yibai knew who he was, nodded to thank him, and continued to ask:

"Are there any teachers who want to audition second? Let's first determine the order of performance."

Cheng Cheng raised his hand and said, "I'll do it."

Zhang Yibai: "Okay, Teacher Li Huowang is the second one."

While saying this, he secretly complained:

This person probably doesn't know who Shen Ye is yet? Aren't you afraid of being exposed?

I can only say that it takes courage to sing in the back late at night!
"Then I'll be third," Xu Lin said immediately.

Spiderweb: "I'm fourth."

H Key: "I'm fifth."

Life Water: "Then I'll be the last one."

Everyone decided on the order of going on stage, Zhang Yibai said:

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Shen Ye, Mr. Li Huowang, please follow me first. The other teachers please wait in the lounge. When it is your turn, a staff member will come to remind you."

Everyone nodded.

Afterwards, Shenye and Chengcheng followed Zhang Yibai to the audition room. Shenye was the first to go on stage and he chose a very difficult northwestern folk song.

".
Green mountains and clear waters surround my home.

Sing about the past and present with full of passion.

The shepherds sang loudly,

The whip makes a deafening sound when it is cracked.

"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he shocked everyone! The pitch was terrifying.

Here is what pitch is.

Pitch is one of the three major characteristics of sound. Different from sound intensity and timbre, it cannot indicate the amplitude and sound intensity. The decibels we usually say are actually the sound intensity. Pitch can only indicate the frequency and wavelength of sound.

There is a recognized international scale for measuring pitch.

Every seven white keys on the piano form a cycle, called CDEFGAB, which is the well-known "Do Re Mi Fa So La Si". After a cycle, the subscript is increased by one, also called an octave rise, that is, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8.

The middle C on a piano is C4, and the A key in the center area is 440Hz, which is the standard pitch.

Because girls are naturally one octave higher than boys (this statement is actually incorrect, it just comes from the fact that the singing score is one octave higher. Female voices are generally about 4 degrees higher than male voices. It's just a habit that makes people say this), so in the boys' score, C4 above C5 is hight C; in the girls' score, C5 above C6 is hight C.

There are 12 semitones between an octave, seven of which (CDEFGAB) are called natural tones, and the other five are called altered tones.

There are usually two semitones between natural tones (two semitones apart is considered a full tone), but there are also some natural tones (EF, BC) that are only one semitone apart.

The popular key sharp refers to a semitone sharp, so a 12th key sharp can raise the pitch by an octave.

Usually, when we see a singer singing A4, it means that he sings A in the fourth group, that is, in the fourth cycle of "CDEFGAB". A4 goes up to B4, B4 goes up to C5, then D5, E5, F5, G5, A5, B5, and then enters the sixth group, C6, D6, E6
并非是C1、2、3、4、5、6打通了进入D1、2、3、4、5、6，很多朋友有这个误区。

Generally speaking, if boys sing A4 or B4, it is considered high, and if girls sing A5 or B5, it is considered high.

Because the tenor's vocal range is generally C3-C5, and the soprano's vocal range is generally C4-C6.

Pavarotti, one of the world's three great tenors, is famous all over the world. He once sang nine consecutive high Cs with chest resonance, that is, C9-B4, which shocked the international music scene. From then on, "King of High C" became his synonym.

It’s not that Pavarotti couldn’t sing higher, but singing higher doesn’t mean singing better.

This situation is really quite common. When singing to F5, some passers-by will exclaim "Wow, you sing so high, better than the professionals". However, the quality of some singers is really bad, like a butcher's chicken, and the resonance is very poor. It's just nonsense to say that they are better than the professionals.

Is it that professional singers can't sing it? It's that they don't want to sing it.

It may be because of aesthetics, or it may be because he knows that the quality of his singing is not good. Pavarotti is praised for singing so high not because he can sing so high, but because he can sing so high and with great clarity and quality.

For example, did Wu Qiang really fail to sing the line “Give me a high note that will destroy the entire world”?
No, he sang it, but his singing was awful, just like the sound of a chicken being slaughtered, which any ordinary person can do.

There is no control over the changes, no melody or rhythm, and no pitch that can produce the actual lyrics, which means nothing.

Going back to late night, he was really awesome. He could pronounce words continuously on D5, and his voice was impeccable in terms of timbre and energy. He was simply like a god descending from heaven. Moreover, he sang very easily, as if he had some energy left.

"Damn, this strength is too strong!?"

"Who on earth is this great god?"

"I'm getting goosebumps!"

"That's awesome, how did you sing this?"

The staff present were more excited than each other:
The stronger the guests are, the more popular they will be after their show airs!

There was also a TV in the lounge, broadcasting the scenes in the audition room so that they could get an idea of ​​the strength of other participating artists.

Listening to the late night concert, H Key was shocked and began to doubt his life:

Who the hell is this?!
At first, she guessed that Shen Ye should be the veteran singing king from Baodao and Yingdao, but she never expected that Shen Ye would start off by singing a Northwest folk song, and he sang it so well and so powerfully, with a loud, mellow and penetrating voice.

Is it the national team late at night?

But she knows all the players in the national team, and none of them can match this one.

She is really lost!
Spider Web was also trembling in his heart, and couldn't believe it. "Who on earth is this music industry big shot?! Is it necessary for such a big shot to be on this kind of show?"

Xu Lin also secretly alerted:
Before participating in "King of Masked Singer", every contestant felt that they were unique, that they would definitely be a big hit, and that they would definitely shock the audience after revealing their masks.

But after coming here and meeting other contestants, I realized the reality: there are so many masters here that they are not the only ones left! It is simply unrealistic to dream of killing everyone!

However, Xu Lin thinks this is a good idea.

She was not frightened by the late night, but instead ignited her fighting spirit:

This is what competition, competition and music should be like!
What's the point of comparing yourself with the weak? It's not glorious even if you win!
Although she still doesn’t know which senior singer will perform late at night, she feels that it is an honor to compete on the same stage with so many epoch-making singers!
Soon, the late-night singing was over. Even though he was not on the stage and not facing the audience, he still bowed to the staff present with a very humble attitude.

Zhang Yibai took the lead in applauding, and at the same time he tilted his head to look at Cheng Cheng:
The late night boss has finished singing. This person should now understand how big the gap is between his level and that of professional singers, right?
I just don't know what kind of expression he has under his mask at this moment.

Are you ashamed of yourself?

Or are you too scared to go on stage?

While everyone else was praising Late Night, Cheng Cheng seemed to be unable to read the air and asked, "Can I go on stage?"

"Uh, of course!"

Zhang Yibai was a little surprised and thought that Director Cheng, his fellow patient, was quite impatient.

He asked, "Teacher Li Huowang, which song do you want to sing?"

Cheng Cheng said, "Please play me a song called "Mercury Notes."

"Is it 'Mercury' directed by Sung Cheng?" asked the staff member in charge of the song broadcast on site.

Cheng Cheng: “Yes.”

On the other side, the staff said to Shen Ye: "Teacher Shen Ye, your audition is over now, you can go back first."

Shen Ye did not move, looked at Cheng Cheng who walked onto the stage, and said, “I’m not in a hurry, I’ll watch for a while.”

"Oh, okay." The staff nodded.

At the same time, under the guidance of the staff, Xu Lin also came to the audition room. She also looked at Cheng Cheng on the stage, waiting for Cheng Cheng to start singing.

-

"Teacher Li Huowang, is it ok?"

Cheng Cheng made an "OK" gesture: "Okay."

When the music started, Cheng Cheng started singing:

"Fascinated by your eyes,
The Milky Way has traces to follow.

Through the cracks of time,
It's still real,

Attract my trajectory,
"

When he spoke, everyone was shocked.

Cheng Cheng's singing skills have now reached 92 points, which is infinitely close to the king of singing! It is 5 points higher than when he first released "Mercury Record". So to the staff on the scene, his singing of "Mercury Record" is better than the original!

Zhang Yibai was stunned: Huh? Did Director Cheng's patient sing so well? It didn't seem as bad as expected!

Late at night, I pricked up my ears and attracted some attention.

More fighting spirit ignited in Xu Lin's eyes: This stage is becoming more and more worth looking forward to!
In the lounge, the other three also perked up.

Spider Web felt bitter: How come everyone sings so well? Then, the song reached its climax, and Cheng Cheng opened up with all his strength:

How far do I have to go to get into your heart?
How long will it take to get close to you?
Close yet far away

The person who can't be approached
Waiting to meet you too
"

If the previous part was just a trial run, then here, Cheng Cheng directly started the bombardment mode!

Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded!

Just now, Teacher Shen Ye spoke clearly and continuously in the D5 range, demonstrating an operation that was like a god descending to earth, which was already very shocking!
Unexpectedly, Cheng Cheng then launched a wave of continuous and stable output on A4, and his performance was equally impressive! He was called an A4 bomber!
And it's not just the pitch, his expressiveness is equally amazing, like the surging waters of the Yangtze River, vast and endless!

I was shocked late at night: Damn, this young man!

Are the younger generation in the domestic entertainment industry so fierce? !

There was an uproar in the lounge!
Where did the production crew of "King of Masked Singer" invite these powerful people from?
Although everyone was surprised by his late-night performance, they did not find it incomprehensible. After all, his voice was obviously that of a veteran in the music industry, and it was very likely that he was a well-known singer who rocked the place.

But what makes this young man "Li Huowang" so successful?
Where did he get all this accumulation? Where did he get all this foundation? !

H Key fell into deep self-doubt again:
Are there such young people in the domestic entertainment industry? !

It shouldn’t be!

If there was such a person, wouldn't he have been famous long ago? It's impossible for him to be unknown!

Did he change his voice?

But that doesn't make sense, how can the younger generation's singing skills be so amazing? !
She tried hard to recall the young generation who had made a name for themselves in the music industry, trying to find clues that matched "Li Huowang", but came up blank.

Am I just ignorant? Or is he a crossover?

That's even more impossible! If crossovers are so awesome, then more than 80% of singers in the domestic entertainment industry won't have to work anymore!

The staff on site were also shocked and could not close their mouths. Someone who knew about it said:
“Why do I feel like his singing of Director Cheng Cheng is pretty good?”

Another knowledgeable man agreed, "Yes, I feel the same way! Teacher Li Huowang sings an octave higher than Director Cheng Cheng, and he does it with ease. I feel he can sing even higher."

"Yes, he and Director Cheng Cheng have two completely different interpretation styles. Director Cheng Cheng's original singing is more restrained, while Teacher Li Huowang's is more unrestrained and more heartbreaking. In comparison, I prefer Teacher Li Huowang's."

"Humph!" At this moment, a cold snort came from behind them, "How can he sing as well as Cheng Cheng? He just sings higher."

The two knowledgeable guys turned their heads suddenly and immediately saw Jiang Nan standing behind them.

Jiang Nan crossed his arms and looked at Li Huowang, who was wearing a red dress on the stage, and said critically:
"It's not bad, but it's far from being better than the original!"

The two knowledgeable guys were shocked.

"Ah, Teacher Jiang Nan, why are you here?"

"I came over to take a look." Jiang Nan came here today to take photos and promote videos. He heard someone singing here, so he came to take a look.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived, I saw someone singing her Orange's "Mercury".

And when she heard the staff praising the guy on the stage so much, she couldn't help herself.

It turns out that Jiang Nan knows how to be tough.

As a singer, how could she not tell who sings better? She just didn't want to admit it. In her heart, no one could compare to her Orange. So how could she be willing to have someone gossip about her Orange behind her back?
What's more, her Chengzi is not only a singer-songwriter, but also a director and actor. She is more than just a singer. How can we compare her like this? It's not fair at all!
"Oh, I see~"

The two knowledgeable guys were a little embarrassed. They both knew that Jiang Nan and director Cheng Cheng were both regular guests on "Young Man Chasing the Wind" and they seemed to have a good relationship. So they pushed each other and fled the scene.

"Teacher Jiang Nan, please take your time to read it. We have something else to do, so we'll go get busy first."

Jiang Nan looked at the two guys who were fleeing with contempt. She originally wanted to correct them, but unexpectedly, she let them run away.

But let them run away, she won’t bother with these two people!

Soon, Cheng Cheng on the stage finished singing.

Zhang Yibai was extremely surprised. He didn't expect that Li Huowang, whom he had previously regarded as a burden, would give him such a big surprise.

Moreover, he couldn't even guess who this person was, let alone the audience when the show was broadcast. No one said a word!
Cheng Cheng walked down and the audience burst into applause.

Jiang Nan suddenly frowned. She didn't think anything was wrong when Cheng Cheng was on the stage just now.

But as soon as Cheng Cheng came down, she felt something was wrong. She sniffed and felt that there was a familiar smell on this guy.

She stretched out her white and tender arms, stopped Cheng Cheng, and asked suspiciously:
"Wait, do we know each other?"

Cheng Cheng: "Yes, I used to hold you when you were a kid~"

After saying that, Cheng Cheng walked around her and left.

Looking at his back, Jiang Nan opened her mouth wide. For a moment, the words "I held you in my arms when you were a child" kept echoing in her head.
I held you in my arms when you were little.
I held you in my arms when I was little.
I even hugged you~
I hugged you~
What about you?
What ~
~
It wasn't until Cheng Cheng walked out of her sight that she realized she was being taken advantage of!
She stamped her feet in frustration, feeling extremely ashamed:
Ahhh, making such a joke on a girl the first time you meet her!

This bastard!

She thought to herself that she would definitely ask her good brother Cheng Cheng to help her vent her anger later!

Yes, her good brother is the chief director and planner of the program, so it’s easy to deal with this guy!
Zhang Yibai also wiped a cold sweat. He had to say that this guy really was worthy of being Director Cheng's patient. He dared to say such words and make such a joke to Jiang Nankai. No one else would dare to do that.

Next, Xu Lin, Spider Web, H Key, and Life Water also completed the audition one after another. The strength of each one should not be underestimated.

Among them, H Jian showed a strength that was not inferior to Shen Ye. Xu Lin and Life Water were a little behind, but they were also on par with Cheng Cheng. Spider Web was the weakest among them, but that was only relative to these monsters. If he were put in the outside world, it would be no problem for him to kill a group of professional singers in seconds!
Zhang Yibai was overjoyed:
too strong! too strong!
With these participating artists, there’s no doubt that “King of Masked Singer” will be a hit!

In the next few days, the promotion of "The Masked Singer" began to take off! New news was released every day, and major marketing accounts also followed up with reports, creating smoke bombs.

Xiao Ma Ge Variety Show Information:
"The Masked Singer"

Proposed judging panel:

Local guests: Su Lei, Han Shi, Zhao Jun, He Zhiyuan, Qiu Dagui, Zhang Qingfei, Ji Diandian.

Returned guests: Jiang Nan, Xu Xiao, and Song Yiyun.

Overseas guests: Mabuhara, Zhimei. ”

Apollo III: "#The Masked Singer's proposed lineup# I feel like the proposed lineup is quite wide. I want to see Jiang Nan and Han Shi."

Mr. Ma Fan: "#Masked Singer#Fu Hai TV S+Masked Singer is about to start recording, the recording judge is: Han Shi, are you looking forward to it?"

Entertainment layman: "The Masked Singer intends to invite Jiang Nan, Xu Xiao, and Song Yiyun, don't walk away."

Netizens were dazzled by all the true and false news. Han Shi, Su Lei, and Zhao Jun were all here. They were all masters of the national team. Although they had not been involved in variety shows for many years and rarely appeared in the public eye, they were all well-known and professional. Netizens were very much looking forward to their appearance on the show.

Just like Tan Jing, Han Lei, Teng Geer, and Gong Liena appeared on the show in previous lives, do you think netizens would not be looking forward to it?

And the list that has been leaked includes not only them, but also some returning traffic stars and young talents such as Jiang Nan, Xu Xiao, and Song Yiyun. "King of Masked Singer" is likely to catch audiences of all ages.

However, in the Internet age, after hearing so many stories about "the boy who cried wolf", some netizens are reluctant to believe it.

"Song Yiyun won't make an appointment unless it's officially announced!"

"I've been surfing the Internet for so long, Teacher Han Shi, I wonder if it will work!"

"Maybe it's because Teacher Han Shi is too popular. Before, there was the rumor about Infinite Voice, and now there is the rumor about King of Masked Singer. You have arranged a lot of work for Teacher Han Shi. No appointment unless it is officially announced!"

"Jiang Nan and Xu Xiao, please come up, everyone!"

"Jiang Nan is also scheduled to be invited, and I am also looking forward to it!"

“Although it’s not official, I’m really looking forward to it if it’s true!”

"With such a luxurious invitation list, I would be satisfied if I could invite half of them!"

"I don't know if it's true or not, but looking at the lineup of this jury, there are veteran singers from Formosa and Yingdao, as well as national singers from the mainland, as well as music critics and popular idols. It feels like a hundred flowers blooming! And there are also hosts and variety show stars. I think it's much better than the mentor lineup of Infinite Singers."

"Compared to the judges, I'd rather know who the contestants are! Are there really singing kings competing masked? That would be too exciting, right?!"

"I want to see something big! I've already pointed out the way for you, please give me some support, King of Masked Singer!"

"I just want to know the progress of the program recording. Play it quickly!"

"I check Weibo every day to see the progress! I really want to see the gods fight!"

Finally, in response to the netizens’ long-awaited calls, the official account of “King of Masked Singer” and Fuhai TV Station simultaneously announced the jury lineup, a total of 16 people!
It is not much different from the list previously uploaded online. There is Han Shi, but no Zhao Jun; there is Jiang Nan, but no Xu Xiao?
However, the composition of the jury is similar to what has been rumored online. There are veteran singers, national teams, music critics, young idols, girl groups, even variety show stars and national-level hosts. Each one is a heavyweight!

Netizens were immediately excited!

"Holy crap! This lineup is too strong. Teacher Han Shi is actually here. Too strong!"

"King of Masked Singer, awesome! I'll watch it if you invite Teacher Han Shi!"

"It's 50% similar to what's said online! I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Jiang Nan! Jiang Nan!"

"It has been rumored that Cheng Cheng and Jiang Nan have broken up. So, Cheng Cheng still invited Jiang Nan to his show. Now that the rumor has finally been broken, I know that they are really good friends, not just pretending to be good friends!"

“‘Cheng Jiang Goes South’ is so satisfying!”

“My CP-crazy soul is starting to burn again, woooooooo!”

"How could Jiang Nan and Cheng Cheng be fake friends? The details of their interactions on the show can't be fake. My Jiang Nan is a kind little girl. She would never abandon her friend when she is in trouble."

Two or three days later, the "Masked Singer" program team released the pilot episode.
