Entertainment: I am a professor in the Department of Hybrid Healing in the music circle

He thought that Zhou Ye, Zhou Jie, and Mu Boran could make it to the semi-finals.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ye and Mu Boran met in the round of 16.

This is what Lin Yao did not expect.

"Hey, the number of promotions seems to be wrong. There were 32 people in the top 25. Why are there only 8 people left in the top 7?"

Lin Yao suddenly remembered that the number of people advancing seemed to be wrong.

After careful calculation, it occurred to me that there was a bye.

In the round of 32, there were 25 players, and only half of them advanced to the top 16, that is, 12 players, leaving one bye, so 13 players advanced to the top 16 at that time.

Then 13 people competed for the top 8, 6 people advanced, and there was one bye, that is, 7 people.

After such a calculation, Lin Yao suddenly realized.

He still felt that something was wrong just now, why there were only 8 players in the top 7 instead of 6 or 8 players.

Forgot about the wheel space.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Lin Yao came to the recording area.

"That's not true." Zhou Ye and Zhou Jie shook their heads at the same time.

Without too much delay, Lin Yao handed over the blank papers of the two lyrics to the two of them.

After getting acquainted with each other briefly, the two of them were shocked again.

The shock seems to be a little numb.

Teacher Lin Yao seems to have maintained a very high level of creativity, and I don't think everyone has the same talent.

Other music producers have created several works that have become popular all over the Internet, and the subsequent songs are not so classic, and it is difficult to surpass their previous classics.

When it comes to Mr. Lin Yao, everything is out of the ordinary...

One after another, classic songs were born.

If there were too many words, Zhou Ye and the two didn't say anything, but seized the time to familiarize themselves with the lyrics, and then began to practice singing.

Teacher Lin Yao has been showing classic repertoires. If they can't make it to the finals, it will be a bit unreasonable.

After two days, they basically soaked in the recording studio.

The adventurous dream sung by Zhou Ye has long been familiar.

But the tea made by grandpa sung by Zhou Jie is a bit difficult.

The match will start tomorrow, and that night, Zhou Jie still made occasional mistakes when practicing singing.

Chapter 330 The Last Bye

Although this song "Grandpa's Tea" does not use traditional musical instruments.

But it is still a national style song.

Guitar and violin are mainly used in the music, and scratch technology is used.

The lyrics describe my country's traditional tea culture from the perspective of a nine-year-old child, and the theme is roughly the affirmation of traditional rural life.

To explain the Zen meaning of grandpa's life.

The song is like a grandfather telling his grandson that when the color of the tea spreads and the pure and happy melody rises, fame and fortune will naturally be thrown away in an instant.

Therefore, it is quite difficult to sing with the artistic conception of tea fragrance.

It has to be practiced over and over again.

Moreover, this song is also the winner of the Golden Melody Award, and its level has really reached its peak.

Because tomorrow morning is the top 8 match, Zhou Jie was still practicing at [-] o'clock that night: "Mr. Lin Yao, I'm sorry, I asked you to practice with me here so late."

"Practice again and go back to rest. You have to combine work and rest. You don't have to be so tense." Lin Yao didn't dare to squeeze Zhou Jie all the time, for fear that he would be in a bad state tomorrow because of being too tired.

The next morning, outside the sports venue, it was crowded again.

Where there is a lot of traffic, it is difficult to prevent the group of media reporters from squatting.

Some reporters even showed off directly outside, grabbing tickets to the quarter-finals.

Today, the goal of the discussion is still who can win the honor of the king of heaven?

"I originally thought that there would be no problem for the five members of Lin Yao's team to enter the top 8. I didn't expect that only Zhou Ye and Zhou Jie would be left in the top 8."

"It's not about Lin Yao's strength. You have to know that Mu Boran met Zhou Ye at that time, and the votes for both of them were almost full."

"I don't think there is a problem with Lin Yao's strength, I just feel very sorry."

"After watching the game, you still see regret? Aren't there still two people in Lin Yao's team who have not been eliminated?"

"Take a step back, even if Zhou Ye and Zhou Jie meet in the quarter-finals, at least one of them will advance to the semifinals and finals, or even win the championship."

"..."

While people outside were talking about it, many spectators had already entered the arena.

The judges and contestants were not late either.

Today's game will determine who is the semi-finalist.

There are 8 people in the top 7, 3 people can advance, and there is one bye, that is, 4 people can appear in the semi-finals.

Then from the semifinals, there will be no byes.

So today's game will be full of highlights.

The semi-final is a span, and only after entering the semi-final will there be a chance to be certified.

Even if you have no hope of winning the championship, you still have to strive for a third or runner-up label, right?

No matter how bad it is, he still has to get a certification label of 'the semi-finalist of the first God of Songs Contest'.

Sometimes, an official certification label is worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Especially for those song kings who are not short of money, what they pay more attention to is honor, not money.

Before the game even started, the audience was discussing a hot topic.

That is the champion, runner-up, third runner-up.

"Speaking of which, the semi-finals will be after the top 8. If there is still one bye in the top 8, there will be four players in the semi-finals, but how will the third place compete?"

"Brother, you asked my question. If there are four people in the semi-finals, if there are two PKs, only two will advance to the finals to compete for the championship. The two who were eliminated in the semi-finals, who will be the third place..."

"How do you know that from the beginning of the semi-finals, it must be two-two PK?"

"There are four people left. There should be no bye. Why isn't it two-two PK?"

"The quarter-finals are not over yet, you guys are starting to discuss the rules of the semi-finals, so don't worry about the officials, we just listen to the music."

"..."

At the same time, the five judges came to the judges' seat, and the host also came to the stage.

The rules of the top 8 are still very simple, the same as the top 16, two-two PK.

"After the top 8, there will be no byes. Today is the last bye. Who is the lucky one?" The male host began to announce the criteria for the last bye: "If the number of byes reaches 498, you can advance to the next stage. .”

Originally, there was no requirement for a number of votes for a bye seat.

But the music association considered that this competition was to elect the king and queen after all, so if the bye slots were only available in the first few rounds, then that would be fine.

The key is that the byes don't end until the semi-finals, so starting from the round of 64, a promotion standard has been set for the byes.

Although you don't need to compete with others, you have to meet that standard to be able to advance.

The promotion standard is not high, nor is it particularly low.

"Today's competition is not a group match like the top 16." After the hostess finished speaking, she stood on the big screen behind the stage, and the names of today's seven contestants flashed impressively.

The names began to throb and began to be assigned.

Two seconds later, the number of PK groups came out.

The first group: Zhou Ye VS Guan Yuqi.

The second group: Zhao Jiahan VS Gao Wenfei.

The third group: Zhou Jie VS Teng Longfei.

The fourth group... Tang Guo had a bye.

When Bye's name came out, many people were surprised.

"Goddess Tang Guo is very lucky, right? The round of 16 is a bye, and it is still a bye now."

"Isn't there a standard line for promotion when there is a bye? It's not a direct bye."

"The qualifying line for the top 8 is only 498 votes, which is not bad."

"Yeah, compared to meeting Zhou Ye and Zhou Jie, this promotion line is quite good."

"..."

Not only the audience, but also the judges were moved.

"Bai Qiangwei, Tang Guo of your team is very lucky. As long as the quality of the entries passes the test and the performance is not abnormal, you can basically advance." If it wasn't because this competition was created by the official media and the Music Association, Zhang Jiahao would have thought Tang Guo There is an inside story.

Two rounds, luck is pretty good.

Backstage, when Guan Yuqi saw that she was in the first group, her pretty face was a bit ugly: "Oh, I thought I could make it to the semi-finals."

As she said that, she looked at Tang Guo with envy again: "I really want to taste the pain of the vacant seat."

At least the promotion line for the wheel space is not disappointing, and it is quite satisfactory.

But if you meet Zhou Ye or Zhou Jie, their entry works are created by Lin Yao, that kind of despair is like falling into an abyss, and you can't get up at all.

Unless Guan Yuqi has the confidence to get more than 530 votes.

But that is simply impossible.

Even if it is a cover of teacher Lin Yao's previous classic works, it has to be performed well.

"I'll go first." Zhou Ye glanced at Guan Yuqi, said nothing, and walked straight towards the stage.

In fact, Zhou Ye was more nervous than anyone else just now.

He was so worried about meeting Zhou Jie.

Zhou Jie sang "Grandpa's Tea". Now that the country is in full swing, if he goes head-on with this song, he probably has no chance of winning.

So at this moment, Zhou Ye relaxed a lot.

Chapter 331 The First Dream

"Sister Guan, what are you doing?" Gao Wenfei felt a little funny when he saw Guan Yuqi's fidgeting posture.

"It's okay, I just want to walk around, just to warm up." Guan Yuqi couldn't sit still anymore, and paced back and forth in place.

"I don't blame you for being like this. Teacher Lin Yao's dominance is terrible." Gao Wenfei recalled the entries from the top 128 to the present.

Only the songs created by Mr. Lin Yao stand alone.

For the other entries, there was either a difference of a few votes or a tie.

When it comes to Lin Yao, the gap of dozens of votes is directly opened.

The confession balloon even set off a frenzy of confession and marriage proposals, directly 545 votes, which is too scary.

on the stage.

So far in the competition, after Zhou Ye appeared on stage, he didn't talk too much nonsense. After he briefly said the title of the song, the prelude had already begun.

Without any foreshadowing, I was ready to sing when I came up, which made the audience love it.

"I knew it when I heard the title of the song. It's another powerful healing song." Bai Qiangwei leaned her elbows on the armrest of the high-back chair, quietly admiring the charm of Lin Yao's talent from the corner of her eyes.

So masculine.

"Fortunately, Mr. Lin Yao can't sing, otherwise he would be the most perfect person in the music world." Zhang Jiahao breathed a sigh of relief.
