entertainment first

Bi Xia had some concerns about participating in "Avenue of Stars", but with the intention of teasing the two of them, he pretended to be thoughtful. It was particularly interesting to see the two of them jumping up and down and scratching their heads and ears in order to persuade him.

Finally, Zhu Jianye saw the smile in Bi Xia's eyes, angrily rushed towards him, pinched his neck, and said viciously: "Okay, now your kid has learned to play tricks on his brother."

"Ah, Brother Xia, how could you do this!" Huang Xuyi also came to his senses and rubbed Bi Xia's hair vigorously.

"Squad leader, I was wrong, really wrong... Ah Yi, you are seeking death, where are you touching..." It turned out that Huang Xuyi felt that robbing Bi Xia's hair was not very satisfying, so he pressed his hand on Bi Xia's chest.

"Third brother, even though Brother Xia is so skinny, he is really quite talented. His chest muscles are bulging and very strong!" After saying that, he gave a thumbs up with a lingering interest.

"Really?!" Zhu Jianye was also a little moved, and his eyes were filled with fragrance unconsciously.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? If you go to Yehu Company and serve as a soldier for three years, you will be covered in tendons." Bi Xia quickly protected himself. The feeling of being touched by Huang Xuyi's hand made his skin crawl.

Oh, it's so scary.

"Night tiger? What night tiger?" Zhu Jianye was a little confused.

"Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company? Brother Xia, the real Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company! You served in the military there, what an idol...Brother Xia, you are my idol from today on, awesome!" Huang Xu is also a military fan.

The Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, one of China's ace troops, is naturally familiar to us.

"Are you awesome?" Zhu Jianye usually doesn't care much about the military and doesn't know much about the glory of this unit.

"Of course, Third Brother, the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company is an elite company named by Mr. Taizu himself during the War of Resistance. It has made outstanding achievements in the War of Resistance, the War of Liberation, the War of Resisting U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and the Vietnam War. This is an iron-clad force with a strong iron-blooded character.

, the best among the best!" Huang Xuyi became more and more excited as he talked, and began to talk about its glorious history.

As he told the story, the way they looked at Bi Xia changed slightly, revealing that this kind of admiration, as students, is at an age where blood boils. It is a big deal for them that Bi Xia can serve from there.

legend.

Now that he has decided to participate in "Avenue of Stars", Bi Xia has an additional task of reviewing music knowledge in the next few days. Bi Xia comes from an artistic family, and his father is a well-known Chinese painter and a professor of Chinese painting at Hangcheng University.

When he was young, his father's biggest dream was to become an excellent director. Unfortunately, the country's conditions did not allow it at the time, so his father could only give up his dream. Later, he relied on his good painting skills to make a name for himself in the world of Chinese painting.

It can be said that Bi Xia inherited his father's legacy and had a good foundation in painting. He was also successfully admitted to the directing department of the Kyoto Film Academy. Unfortunately, an accident took Bi Xia's father's life away.

His mother is a music teacher, with a gentle and elegant personality. Bi Xia was trained by her mother, and her personality is as gentle as her. At the same time, Bi Xia was taught by her mother to play piano and guitar well.

Picking up the music that had been neglected for many years, Bi Xia once again thought of his mother and sister far away. I wonder how they are doing?

…

May 1st is Labor Day. People across the country are waiting for their first long holiday after months of hard work, and the national talent show "Avenue of Stars" created by Beijing Satellite TV has officially launched.

The organizer of "Avenue of Stars" conducted auditions in seven divisions, and selected five contestants from each division to participate in the national finals. Together with the five most popular contestants, a total of 40 contestants were selected for the national finals.

The national finals will also be the first time a talent show will be broadcast live, with a total of forty into twenty, twenty into ten, ten into seven, seven into four, four into three, and the final top three championship match.

The whole process took more than two months. You can imagine how big a sensation this show will have by then. In addition to the changes in the format, the judges this time are also very strong. The organizer invited five people who are known as the best in China.

Top musicians serve as judges. Some of them are music stars, some are top producers, and they have huge influence.

Early in the morning, at the urging of Huang Xuyi and Zhu Jianye, Bi Xia went to the Beijing Wukesong Theater, which would be used as the audition venue. When Bi Xia and the others arrived, there was a long queue. Everyone was accompanied by friends or family.

Waiting anxiously.

After Bi Xia checked his name at the registration point, he also lined up one after another. Huang Xuyi had helped him to register a few days earlier. Huang Xuyi took participating in "Avenue of Stars" more seriously than Bi Xia himself.

Among the crowd, there are students with thick eyes and bookish faces; there are young girls in youthful attire who are pursuing their dreams; there are various non-mainstream people who pursue visual effects; there are also ordinary people who are lost in the crowd.

common people.

"Xiao Xia, how are you preparing the song?" Seeing Bi Xia waiting, Zhu Jianye asked quietly.

"It goes without saying that Brother Xia can't sing well at his level. Besides, it's really not good. The two songs "Fireworks" and "Poplar Tree" from last time can be done by just throwing one out." Huang Xu also didn't care.

Said, now he has full confidence in Bi Xia.

"Haha..." Bi Xia smiled lightly and remained silent.

He had considered this issue before coming here. Although he had never participated in this kind of audition competition, he had seen such scenes in the news and in his memory. When participating in auditions, song selection is very important, and even whether the song selection is good or not is very important.

Auditions are more demanding than formal competitions.

If we had known that there were a very large number of people participating in the auditions, and their levels varied greatly. Not to mention that their levels were not good, even if they were all experts, after a day of bombardment, the judges would have been exhausted and it would be difficult to concentrate.

Therefore, the selection of songs is particularly important. The songs must be smooth and express their own characteristics. They must give the judges the desire to listen to them immediately.

"Please prepare No. 301 to No. 320." The crowd was moving slowly, and the staff reported the serial numbers and guided the players forward. The next group is Bi Xia's group. He is No. 333, which is an interesting number.

The audition goes very quickly, and basically the contestants will be out soon after entering. There are only five judges, and all the auditions for the seven major singing areas in the country are hosted by them. This job is very difficult.

As a music master, you can basically tell whether you can attract them in the middle of the song. Some singers were stopped even before singing for a minute. Although it is cruel, it is very real and helpless.

After a while, Bi Xia and his group of 20 people were called and arranged backstage. This was a very bright lounge with two rows of sofas in the middle and small bars around the walls for competitions.

Players take a rest. There are four large mirrors, allowing some players who have no time to deal with things to sort out their expressions again.

The entire theater is divided into five small closed stages. Five judges each lead five representatives from entertainment companies to form a six-member jury for auditions. The singers selected in this audition will be joined by five music giants the day after tomorrow.

Five people were selected to participate in the national competition. The system is very rigorous.

Soon it was the turn of Bi Xia's group, and twenty people walked towards the stage one by one. Bi Xia was No. 333, and there were twelve players in front of him. While waiting, Bi Xia leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and was quiet.

Listen to other singers singing.

On the empty stage, under the gaze of six stern judges and more than a dozen competitors behind them, one can imagine the pressure. The organizers hope to use this method to put enough pressure on the contestants and eliminate those who are not suitable for the big scene.

People are eliminated. You must know that the national competition is broadcast live. If they can't even withstand such a small scene, how can we expect them to have a wonderful performance in the national competition?

No matter how good the other singers are, Bi Xia remains silent. This is a sign of respect for others. This is what his mother taught him since he was a child.

When these contestants came on stage, the judges in the audience didn't even look up, and used cold voices to prompt them to start directly. This made the contestants even more nervous.

Indeed, the judges have to screen so many contestants a day, which makes them very tired, and most of them are unsatisfactory and even incomplete, which makes them even more irritable. Therefore, they are not interested at all in the contestants' self-introduction.

When you encounter someone who performs very well, you will let them pay more attention to it.

Soon, the twelve players in front of Bixia were directly eliminated. Although those twelve players were indeed amateurish in Bixia's opinion, with out-of-tune and broken sounds from time to time, this did put a lot of pressure on him.

"No. 333, contestant please come on stage!" the staff handed the information filled in by the contestants to the judges, and after obtaining their approval, prompted.

Bi Xia took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, stepped on the floor with steady steps, and played this persevering melody.

"Hello fellow judges, I sang the original song "As Free as I Want to Dream"." Although the judges didn't pay much attention to it, Bi Xia still bowed very humbly, with a confident smile on his face, and a gentle and gentle voice.

The magnetic voice said.

"Eh!" Although several judges were distracted and did not pay attention to Bi Xia, there is an old saying that love comes from the heart. Bi Xia's warm voice revealed a sense of confidence, and his voice was extremely magnetic, which made the judges

My tired mind suddenly felt as if it was caressed by a gentle breeze, and my whole body was shaken.

When I looked up, what caught my eye was a young man wearing a khaki slim-fitting suit, gray brushed casual pants and black leather sneakers. He had delicate features, soft but distinct cheek lines, and his appearance was not very handsome, but he was elegant and masculine.

The person is simple, refreshing and sunny. Especially when he stands upright, even when he bows, he looks like an open bow.

Bi Xia's tenacious and upright temperament was particularly outstanding in this day's audition. The first impression made the judges happy, and they all nodded secretly and cheered up.

Leading the six judges is the only female among the five judges of "Avenue of Stars", the big sister in the music industry, Qin Lan.

Qin Lan has been in the industry for more than ten years and has been praised for her deep voice. Her low-pitched voice is extremely rare among domestic girls and even internationally. The bass is low and not muddy, although it is thick but still full of feminine meaning. Her character is straightforward and kind, which is Bi

A female singer that Xia greatly admired.

Seeing Bi Xia's outstanding temperament and seeing him carrying a guitar, Qin Lan looked down at Bi Xia's information and said, "Do you want to sing the original song?"

"Yes." Seeing that the judges were paying attention to him, Bi Xia secretly exhaled. This time he participated in "Avenue of Stars" and decided to play the original card. Original songs have their own advantages and are easier to gain points. But there are also disadvantages.

No small matter. First of all, the original songs are definitely not well-known, which requires the judges to pay more attention to their listening.

In such auditions, unless you can attract the attention of the judges by opening your voice, no matter how good the song is, it may be ignored because the judges are tired. Now that the judges are paying attention to themselves, Bi Xia's worry disappears.

Eliminate half.

Seeing that the judges stopped talking, Bi Xia began to wave the strings. Bi Xia's voice was originally very good, warm and clear, and he could control high, high and low notes. But when singing this kind of rock, he prefers to suppress his voice and make the sound of vocal cord friction.

The hoarse sound it brings will be more powerful and attractive.

"Will you still care about me, my dearest friend, when I decide to let go of everything and embark on the road to freedom?"

This song "Free Like a Dream" is also Wang Feng's song in my memory. This song is majestic and full of pursuit of inner strength.

As soon as he opened his voice, the faint hoarse sound immediately caught the ears of the judges, making them listen more carefully.

"Will you still stay with me? The relatives I miss the most have already bid farewell to yesterday and are heading towards the future."

In this song, Wang Feng incorporates his hardships from being an unknown singer to becoming a rock star that is widely noticed by the society, and expresses his courageous attitude of longing for freedom after the experience.

And this song brought Bi Xia his own mood. He escaped from his family and escaped from reality. The sadness and loneliness enveloped him, as if this dark sky was a cage where he was the only one.

He really misses home, his mother, his sister, and wants to worship his father again. He is conflicted, struggling, escaping from reality, and yearning in his heart. He longs for freedom in his soul, so when he hears this song

He was attracted when he was singing. Maybe the mood when writing the songs was different, but the same desire for freedom was the same because they were also bound.

"I want to be as free as a dream, as strong as the sky, and experience the meaning of life on this winding road."

"I want to be as free as a dream, as tolerant as the earth, and light up the light of life on this arduous journey of exile."

Bi Xia screamed at the top of his lungs, as if he wanted to break through the prison he had set for himself. He sang without emotion, and the veins on his neck revealed his inner unrest, but his voice was still stable. He used that light hoarse voice.

, that will break the unbroken tune and tell your own demands.

Qin Lan looked at Bi Xia. She didn't expect that this young man who looked friendly and sunny would be so shocking when he opened his voice. Everyone said that music can sing into people's hearts, but only rock and roll can shake the soul.

In Bi Xia's singing, she seemed to see how the girl who was less than 20 years ago was drifting in Beijing, being deceived and coaxed by others, and singing silly songs one after another.

I don’t know whether the road ahead will be light or dark.

She also recalled the helplessness she felt after becoming famous, being packaged by an economic company and doing things against her will, which made her doubt whether she was still herself.

Now that she has gotten out, she needs fame and experience, and she finally doesn't have to be as cautious as before, but she still can't be herself completely.

She knew the pain of being bound, and she also pursued freedom. At this moment, she resonated with this song.

With tears unknowingly hanging from the corners of her eyes, Qin Lan applauded Bi Xia!
