The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

If a mentor doesn't like rap, and you happen to be a rap singer, and your singing is not the kind of outstanding and amazing, but just in the middle or lower rank among 80 people, such as 81th or 108st, the mentor may pass you because of his subjective preference and choose a singer who ranks 108th in actual singing ability. Don't think there is a big difference between ranking 108th and th, but if you rank th, you can get on the stage, but if you rank th, you will have no chance.

The several singers who were recommended are potential stocks that music companies are optimistic about their debut. They don't want to not even be included in the 100-person list. So, they want to make a good introduction and have their presence on this variety show with Xia Haoyang as their mentor. This will bring unimaginable benefits to their future singing career.

The benefits to one's own company are self-evident.

The five mentors of this variety show are: Huang Wei, music director of Hong Kong Dongzheng Records, Pei Yunjing, teacher of Yancheng Film Academy, Liu Ming, chief composer of Chiyo Records, Lin Yang Huiyun, former lead singer of the girl group Candy Box Girls of Taiwan Stone Records, who is now even more popular after going solo; and Xia Haoyang, the boss of Fat Cat Studio.

The five mentors' labels, including Xiangjiang Dongzheng Records, Pei Lao Shi Studio, Chiyo Records, and Stone Records, have all arranged for their artists to be included in the 100-person list as recommended places. Only Fat Cat Studio did not arrange any candidates, but Xia Haoyang was not a fool and acquiesced to this matter without any objection.

In fact, if we really put aside the influence of subjective emotions and style preferences, among the 500 people who registered, the most capable ones are the candidates arranged by these companies.

"This is unfair. Do you know how much effort I have put in to prepare for this competition? Do you know how tiring and hard my training is? Why do you deny me so lightly? Do you mentors respect our efforts? Especially her, she is still so young, how can she be a mentor? What qualifications does she have?" A female singer who was rejected disagreed with the mentors' decision and even accused one of the mentors, Lin Yang Huiyun, of being unqualified to be a judge.

Due to the number of people, the audition system is divided into two groups, each with three mentors (plus Director Tian himself); the singers participating in the audition will sing a piece of their own choice and then wait for the three mentors to evaluate. If all three mentors say that they have passed, they will directly enter the list of 100 people; if two mentors say that they have passed, they will enter the waiting list. If only one mentor says that they have passed, or no mentor says that they have passed, they will be directly passed.

Now, one of the rejected female singers from the three-person mentor group of Xia Haoyang, Lin Yang Huiyun and Teacher Pei is questioning on the spot.

The program has been recorded since the first audition, but it is not live broadcast. Now that this kind of thing has happened, the executive director of the program group wanted to turn off the camera and then ask the staff of Xinan TV to coordinate and solve it, but Lin Yanghuiyun, the singer of Stone Records, just waved her hand lightly.

She smiled and said, "Work hard? Who among those who signed up for this program today doesn't work hard? I am a singer myself, and I have been getting up early every morning to warm up my voice for more than 20 years without interruption. It is common for me to find professional teachers to learn body shape, vocal teachers to learn vocal music, and dance teachers to learn dance. In our industry, there is a saying that it takes ten years of hard work off stage and ten minutes on stage. We have given you a stage to perform, but your singing did not impress me. Why should I let you pass because of your hard work? If you let me pass not because of your voice and music works that impressed me, but just because of your hard work, to me, this is disrespectful to music itself."

"Okay, well said. Support teacher Lin Yang Huiyun." Other contestants shouted loudly.

"That's right. Not only is the pitch of the song you chose lowered, but your breath is obviously unstable, and even your singing range isn't stable. Even if I'm your mentor, I'd still pass you." A contestant sitting next to you said disdainfully.

“Everyone has ears.”

"Yes, yes."

Xia Haoyang's group's performance was in a closed stadium similar to a basketball court. The contestants sitting around the court could hear the performances of other competitors. The mentors' choices, who passed, who was pending, and who passed were basically in line with everyone's predictions. Therefore, the contestants basically had no opinion on the mentors' judgment. On the contrary, they were very disdainful of this person who had average singing ability but kept saying he was trying hard.

Because just like Lin Yang Huiyun said, who here doesn’t work hard?

Seeing that her words had no effect, the angry girl shook her hands and left the competition venue. As she left, she said some unpleasant words, but was met with verbal or gesture ridicule from other contestants.

Among the three mentors, Xia Haoyang looked at Teacher Pei, nodded, and gave a slightly awkward smile, but in his heart, Xia Haoyang looked at Lin Yang Huiyun with admiration.

The girl spoke softly with a typical Taiwanese accent, which sounded gentle, but in fact she was gentle yet strong, and had the demeanor of a lady. Facing the accusations and doubts from the contestants, she did not raise her voice, nor was she impatient, but always faced them with a smile. That kind of confidence and composure is not something that ordinary people can do, and Lin Yang Huiyun is only in her twenties.

Thinking about several female artists in his company who are also approaching 30 years old, such as Qin Jiali who holds a cat every day and snatches food from the cat, Xia Haoyang sighed helplessly and shook his head.

"Go on, the next contestant, No. 176." Lin Yang Huiyun's voice interrupted Xia Haoyang's thoughts.

In fact, being a judge seems easy but it is really difficult, especially since the recording time of the program is so long that most people cannot imagine it.

When you watch a variety show, it usually lasts one and a half to two hours, but that is the content that has been carefully edited by the program team and broadcast to the audience. However, the actual time that takes for this one and a half hour content to take place may be more than twenty or even thirty hours.

For example, Xia Haoyang’s first day of “work” started at around 10 o’clock in the morning. Before he could feel thankful for the late start of work, he did not expect that the recording of the program would last until 4: in the morning of the next day.

After doing this for eighteen hours straight, my back and waist would ache and my butt would feel uncomfortable even if I just sat on a chair the whole time.

"This is not a job for human beings. If the intensity is so high every day, my butt will definitely be bruised and I will get hemorrhoids. Director Tian, ​​does hemorrhoids count as an industrial injury for the production team?" Xia Haoyang joked.

"Yes, of course. Mr. Xia, if you really have hemorrhoids, our office will reimburse you for the surgery." Director Tian responded with a smile.
