The Wonderful Daily Life of Nogizaka

"The number of people in the second round is much smaller than that in the first round, but the pace is much faster. A total of eight contestants will only have the opportunity to perform one song, and two will be selected to enter the finals. Among these eight contestants

All of them have their own unique skills, and each seems to be more powerful than the other. Of course, your Baiyun Sang is still the most powerful..."

While Baiyunshan was boasting, he couldn't help but recall the scene at that time.

His original intention was to lose the game in the second round because his performance in the first round was too impressive. Although it brought him some psychological pleasure, it was contrary to his salty nature.

I'm still a little unaccustomed to it, so I naturally want to lose in the second round. And if you want to lose, it's very simple. Just play normally. As long as the level is not too different from the first round, no one can tell that he wants to do it on purpose.

Lose.

It's just that the plan can never keep up with the changes. Before taking the stage, the second side task of the system's special task was triggered. Looking at the task label explained above, Baiyunshan then remembered that the requirement of the special task was to complete the side tasks continuously to obtain rewards.

So I quickly cheered up and started to prepare.

After all, although salted fish is salted fish, you still need to eat. If you don’t seize this opportunity to cut leeks, the main task may not be completed until the year of the monkey and the horse and the horse!

Especially when Supervisor Yamada found him again.

"Bai Sang, long time no see." Supervisor Yamada, whose face was still stern, actually showed a smile after seeing him for a long time, and greeted him gently.

"Long time no see, Director Yamada."

"For what happened last time, please allow me to apologize to you on behalf of the program team." Supervisor Yamada said, bowing slightly.

Baiyunshan didn't expect this and quickly waved his hand and said no.

"Needed."

But Supervisor Yamada was very insistent and apologized before continuing: "This round is much more cruel than the last round, because you only have one chance to appear, so you must do it once."

It attracts attention and shows your true level. Of course, I am still impressed by Bai Sang's strength and I am looking forward to it."

"Where, where -" Baiyunshan acted very modestly when faced with the praise from Supervisor Yamada.

"But even though I'm not that worried, I still have to ask Bai Sang to work hard, because not only me, but Sakamoto Sang is also looking forward to your performance as always!"

"Sakamoto-san?"

Baiyunshan glanced at Sakamoto Ryuichi who was still calm and taciturn in the background in surprise, and couldn't help but smile: "Does Sakamoto-san also think highly of me?"

"Of course, I asked him privately about Bai-san's performance in the first round, and Sakamoto-san was very satisfied!" Supervisor Yamada said with emotion.

After finishing speaking, Supervisor Yamada continued to work on his work.

Baiyunshan felt heavy in his heart. He was being noticed by such a big shot in the music industry. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel guilty. After all, his real level may not be that high. But it would be a lie to say that he was unhappy. After all, this person

Like Hisaishi Joe and several other masters, he was a well-known figure and an idol that he once admired. Of course he would be happy to be expected and noticed by such a figure.

Although this is just a variety show for him.

...

Along with the background music coming from the TV, the program officially begins the rules explanation part. The theme of the second round of the competition is adaptation. It is okay to still use musical instruments to perform, but you must make certain adaptations to the music you choose to perform. This must be

The arc of the song obviously needs to be controlled by the players themselves. If it is too short, it will not work, and if it is too long, it will turn into another song. Obviously, it will not work, so the requirements for the players themselves are extremely high.

The emergence of this theme is obviously aimed at the performance of players like Baiyunshan in the first round. After all, according to the situation that the winning rate will be greatly increased if an original new song appears in the first round, it is obvious that the second round cannot follow the old path.

, innovation must be made. And directly changing to another completely different competition method would be too unfair to this type of players, so a compromise method was adopted to allow them to exert a certain degree of strength without making the gap too big.

It is large, but it also improves the level requirements of the performers and the enjoyment of the program.

The judges are still the same three, but the program process has undergone some changes. After each contestant performs, in addition to the judges' scores and comments, there will also be comments from other contestants.

What Baiyunshan was told in advance about this part is that after all, it is still a variety show, not a pure competition. In addition to maintaining professionalism, it also needs a certain amount of fun to enliven the atmosphere. Otherwise, there is no need to invite comedians.

"Looking at it like this, I suddenly want to know what exactly you said, Baiyun-san?" the members couldn't help but say.

After all, according to the members' understanding of this guy, it is almost impossible for him to speak well on stage. He will either complain or be complained about. Even if he is on the same stage with a seasoned comedian like Banana Man, he will not fall behind. Why?

I can't even look at the painting style to be serious.

Baiyunshan said with vacant eyes: "You will know after watching An Jing. According to my memory, the first contestant completed his song very quickly."

"Yeah?"

Everyone curiously turned their attention back to the TV, and saw the first contestant, a man about forty years old, with somewhat sparse hair, who looked mature and steady - this is also the characteristic of most of the contestants in the second round.

After all, the players who make it to the second round must be superb performers who have been immersed in this art for more than ten or even decades. It is almost impossible for a young boy like Baiyunshan to appear. There is only one kind of player who can appear.

Possibility: That is a genius!

This is not only an inference, but also the evaluation of many people in the industry after the last round of the show. With his skillful performance skills and superb arrangement ability, he is well-deserved as a genius. Even several contestants in the live competition viewed him this way.

, although Baiyunshan himself doesn’t know it.

The big screen behind the player magnified his name - Harada Mori.

This is an online performer like Nobuo Fukuyama. His popularity is much higher than that of the former, and his ability cannot be underestimated.

The track he performed was Humbert's "One Time" by the well-known Japanese folk group Humbert formed by Yoshinoge Sato and his wife. Due to the success of the first round of the program, the program team naturally gained a lot of confidence and was not satisfied with ordinary pure music repertoire.

Popular songs are also included in the selection.

This piece was originally a leisurely melody with guitar accompaniment, but the instrument chosen by the performer Harada Mori was the shakuhachi. Not only was there a huge contrast in style, it turned into a vicissitudes of life and a low rhythm, and there was also a song in the middle.

A bold arrangement, adding a self-composed melody to mix it in, but with the previous and following tunes, there is no sense of dissonance at all!

Not only the audience, but also the members in the lounge could not help but nod their heads in admiration.

Sure enough, my hair is not white. I can’t get this level of hair with a full head of hair!

After the song ended, it was time for comments.

It was Banana Man who acted as the host to warm up the show and control the rhythm. He asked the previous contestants for their opinions. Most of them were modest and complimentary. Occasionally, they would make fun of each other. After all, they were all from the same circle.

There is no harm in praising the other person even if you don't see him when you look down.

But fortunately, Banana Man's conversation skills are very good, and with the help of post-editing, even ordinary conversations can have a good look and feel. Therefore, if you watch the previous few in turn, it has quite a variety show effect, which amused the rest room.

The members were bursting with laughter, and by the way, they recalled their own feelings when facing Banana Man in a dog fight. After comparing the two, they also learned some variety show skills.

Soon we arrived at Baiyun Mountain, and I saw this guy on TV looking serious, standing upright, head held high, as serious as a soldier waiting for the call from his boss. The members in the lounge couldn't help but watch.

The corners of the mouth twitched.

Matsumura Sayuri complained: "Baiyun-san, everyone else looks normal, why do you feel that your style has changed when you come here?"

Baiyunshan touched his chin and muttered: "Uh... I guess it's overkill. After the last time, Sichuan Jingsang and others said that I wasn't too serious when I announced the show at the end. They hoped that I would be more serious, so I will take it this time.

I came out with ten times the correct attitude. I didn’t expect this to be the result after watching it on TV~”

"If you don't look at the stage and just look at the expression, it feels like you are going to war!" Erika Ikuta said in confusion.

"It's like jumping from Doraemon's painting style to Jojo's painting style -" Nishino Nanase made a good comment silently.

Hashimoto Nana said to the point: "In my opinion, Baiyun-san just wants to show off and attract attention!"

Bai Yunsang coughed twice and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? Read carefully, my comments are very serious, okay?"

"hehe......"

The members responded with ambiguous smiles and unexplained looks, obviously not trusting what this guy said.

On the stage, the camera also turned to Baiyun Mountain.

Shitara ended the previous conversation, then looked at Baiyunshan and asked: "Well, Baiyunsan is quite familiar. The words of the previous players are very interesting. Their professionalism and evaluation are very good. No.

I wonder if Baiyun-sang can say something interesting——"

This passage seems to be a transition, but in fact it is also a kind of background, paving the way for what Baiyunshan will say next, hinting that he will say something more relaxed and entertaining.

Baiyunshan nodded clearly, then took the microphone and said: "Harada-san's level is really very high. This performance always reminds me of a funeral when I was six years old.

The scene where the puppy died——"

"Hahahaha~"

The audience below the stage burst into laughter at the right time.

This remark was meant to ridicule the changes he had made in his music style, but it was not too explicit and was meant to be a compliment.

Shitaku nodded secretly. Baiyun Mountain did not disappoint him. These words not only captured the plot well, but were also not too playful, providing conditions for the conversation to continue.

The next more professional part obviously does not belong to the young man in front of me. After all, no matter how high the skill is, there are limitations of age and experience. It may not be comparable in terms of talent, but in terms of understanding of music and instruments, these

The seniors obviously want to leave this young man behind.

He was about to speak again and let the next person take over, when he saw Bai Yunshan continue.

"But I have heard this saying that the core of a good comedy is often tragedy, and it makes sense in the field of music. A good performer also needs to be able to use an instrument suitable for playing sad music,

Playing cheerful and relaxing tunes and breaking through the limitations of the instrument itself may be called the highest master of the instrument."

"Although Harada-san performed very well, he was still limited by the shakuhachi instrument and was not able to achieve breakthroughs in the instrument itself. I feel a little sorry for this."
