Non-professional idol [entertainment circle]

After everyone tried the seven songs one by one, they found that the luck of Yingguo is really not ordinary "good".

Who let him pick the most difficult one at a glance.

Among the seven songs, "Coffee|Caffeine" undoubtedly has the highest BPM. Based on the pure accompaniment melody without lyrics, this is very likely to be a trip-hop song.

Yingguo chose this song intuitively. After listening to the two-and-a-half-minute piece, I found that it was not a simple melody without the vocals, but more like a half-finished product that already had a frame and outline but lacked some fine details. .

Look at the songs of the other six candidates:

Chao Mingming chose "THE GIRL", listening to the pure accompaniment sounds a bit like a small R&B love song, just listening to the prelude has a sweet feeling, and the chorus part in the middle can make people imagine Lyrics, as if crooning "girldon'tletmedown".

Simply relying on the intuition of the name, he chose "FIREROSE". This song "Flame Rose" did not disappoint him. It is indeed an EDM with a strong rhythm.He himself is quite confident in this song and is ready to show his skills on the dance machine.

The remaining four were a little confused.

The long-cherished wish selected by Zhou Cheng is the first piece of pure ancient style, not only the melody is kept playing, but also the sound of zither is added.Even so, the rhythm of "Long Wish" is not weak. After listening to the opening chorus, the single was automatically looped in my mind, and it even reminded me of the shadow of the homepage being washed by various ancient styles.

Zhou Chengxuan hummed, his fingers stopped working.While dejected, he also carefully comforted himself, maybe this kind of mobile audio game with drop touch type may really not be suitable for him...

Kong Xuan's situation is slightly better. He has played games and made a lot of money. He chose a lyrical name "Farewell Poem", and his fingers and dynamic vision can still keep up.

But after playing once, he applied to go to the PC area.The reason is that Kong Xuan feels that he has to press the tactile keyboard to find the feel. The touch keyboard has no knocking feeling, and he can't find the subtle difference between perfect and great.

Okay, everyone on the left and right doesn't even want to grab it, so naturally they can arrange it as they feel comfortable.

Sun Yunxiao and Ou Leke were even more humble. They had nothing to pursue: one fell off the back of the car, and the other got stuck inside the fourth ring road and couldn't get on.

A song "The Window of the Champs Elysees" and a song "Flying Away", the two of you let me, I let you, and finally decided to draw lots.

Ou Le glanced at Sun Yunxiao's hesitant eyes, and handed over the "Flying Away" in his hand: "You still have some hope,

I was definitely eliminated anyway. "

Sun Yunxiao was also embarrassed, "Don't be like this, if you can play well, then it must be better for you to come. I don't know how much the reward ticket is, what if it flies up?"

Ou Le didn't seem to be able to laugh: "How can someone soar from No. 60 to No. 30...but I will still work hard."

After experiencing the mobile game segment of the falling touch key, Yingguo went directly to the simulated arcade area. There is no second person in the team who can play the piano. It is more appropriate to leave the falling touch audio game to his teammates.

Freeing the thumbs and middle fingers of the left and right hands and replacing them with serious simulated piano keys, it is also more accustomed to Yingguo.

The hands were freed, and what followed was some changes brought about by the song "Caffeine" due to the change of the game terminal.

The touch area of ​​the mobile game terminal is limited, and the audience problem directly determines the button rules.After switching to arcade games that simulate musical instruments, there are not so many restrictions on those who are familiar with music theory and musical instrument performance.

"Play" "Coffee|Caffeine" one more time, and while watching the falling notes on the screen, Yingguo was able to roll out a piece of white paper and write down the melody bit by bit in his mind.

The track information brought by the simulated piano is more than before, and the song structure is much more obvious in comparison, and the vocal theme that was hidden before is gradually emerging in the piano version.

After one pass, you are basically familiar with the whole song, and after the second pass, you will start to do special exercises for algorithms such as percent, great, and ALLCOMBO.

After five times, Yingguo can already achieve ALLCOMBO. If the hand feels better, it may be possible to produce ALLPERFECTCOMBO.

The song "Caffeine" gradually took shape in his mind, it didn't look like a finished product, there were some very obvious traces of carving but not polishing completely.In the analog piano version, this feature has almost nowhere to hide.

Strike while the iron is hot, Yingguo tried the other six songs one by one. Except for "Caffeine", "FIREROSE" and "Long Wish" are actually ranked in the second echelon of difficulty!

The difficulty of "Caffe|Caffeine" is mainly due to the large number of notes and high BPM.

The other two songs may be better than the melody span of the song.Especially for "Long Wish", there is a fairly obvious high-pitched part in the accompaniment melody, and the vocal part may really require a steady player like Yu Jun to hold it.

Just thinking about it, Ying Guo felt that this overtime game was not easy.

After all the hard work, the "financial master" got involved in the development of the semi-finished song, and "passed the back door" to add it to the game. Is it just to let the trainees compete in a competition?

According to the normal development of the plot, shouldn't the trainees be allowed to produce a competition portfolio?

***

There is no atmosphere of a normal game hall in the experience hall, and everyone is concentrating on practicing the game.

That's right, practice playing the game with one mind!

When Pei Shi and Mike Joffin came to visit the class together, they were a little unbelievable for a while: How rare is this scene!

During the practice days in the usual schedule, I wish I could sleep in the practice room at night, but now everyone is "addicted" to the game.The teacher came and just said hello quickly, and continued to play games.

Cameramen who have been filming for almost three hours in a state of near "silence": Did we say anything?

It was probably only the day before that he had face-to-face contact with this child. After entering the experience hall, Pei Shi subconsciously looked for him.

It’s really not easy to find a boy like Yingguo whose back seems to be shining, it’s almost just a matter of turning around, and the figure of the other party appears in the arcade simulation area——

Chao Mingming directly "nested" on his back, and the two of them overlapped their palms and fingers, and taught each other how to play the drum set in "Destiny's Child".

"It seems that everyone has adapted well." McJoffen watched the boys scattered in every corner of the experience hall in a friendly manner, hoping that everyone would discover the hints given in advance by the program group.

Pei Shi was thoughtful: "A few of them are really good, but I think most of them are struggling to win or lose in overtime."

McJoffen smiled: "Where there is gain, there must be loss. If you only think about winning others and getting high scores, you will miss a lot of information."

That's how it is now--

The temptation brought by reward tickets of 20, 35, and 50 for the B-level positioning competition is really too great!

Everyone also saw how Yingguo reached the level of No.1 Min Yuan in one fell swoop by virtue of three accumulated rewards.Therefore, it is understandable that some people pin their hopes on this overtime game.At the moment of life and death, distraction has become a particularly difficult thing.

However, Pei Shi thought that the wishes of the tutor and the program team might be disappointed again:

In line with the original intention of allowing trainees to get some "tips" in advance, seven games were selected to compete in the overtime competition, instead of using the same game throughout the process, in order to make the next concept creation competition go more smoothly.

If trainees care too much about winning or losing, and pay too much attention to the gains and losses of reward tickets, then they will definitely spend a lot of time, or even all their time, on a whole song or a game.Even if you find a little "clue" in the middle of the practice, you may not spare a little time to verify your own ideas.

In this way, the intention of the entire DCT to have such an overtime match with Coldplay Games was really completely ignored.

The instructor's worry was not seen by others, and the two walked around the experience hall as if they were really just here to make a tour, and then left after talking briefly.

Leaving behind a group of trainees who continue to practice hard, continue to struggle with songs that don't even have lyrics.

They can't stay in the experience hall overnight, but they can extend the "experience" time until the most extreme access control.

The results of Yingguo's training are quite obvious. Since he passed the adaptation period, he has accumulated a certain degree of hand feeling, and he can occasionally play a full series of other songs.

For this, Chao Mingming really admired him: "I remember, you are obviously an art student!"

While dealing with the falling notes on the screen, Ying Guo kept moving his hands on the keys for a while, and answered him: "Actually, I first learned to play the piano. Later, I learned to draw because I like to draw."

Chao Mingming has no resistance to this kind of talent with his own talent and starting line: "I understand, I liked Teacher Pei later, and I changed it back, right?"

There was a momentary blank in Yingguo's mind, but he didn't listen to the movements in his hands, and he missed a perfect judgment in an instant.

"Okay, okay, don't let your mind wander! Hold on! The most difficult piece of "Coffee|Caffeine" is left to you. I just went around, and there are some people who can play musical instruments. , but our advantage is still there!"

Almost all DCT trainees joined the brokerage company at a young age, and naturally passed the art test when they grew up.Let’s talk about musical instruments and music theory. Everyone has been in contact with it more or less. If you want to talk about it, you can count it. However, there are still few people who study the Eight Classics systematically and regard them as their specialties. After all, trainees have to take care of too many things. up.

Rao is a person like Yingguo who has laid the foundation since childhood. After entering the trainee system, he will inevitably be selective.

Compared with the piano, which requires persistence and accumulation over time, everyone prefers an instrument such as the guitar, which is easy to use and powerful.

When it comes to overtime, when the floor is full of music games, the games of trainees such as Yingguo are reflected.

Compared with others who painfully calculated the score difference between four-key full connection and six-key non-connection, Ying Guo and Chao Mingming were sprinting for APC by simulating piano and drum kit.

"Zhou Chengxuan also said that he wanted to play taiko drums."

When Jian Jian wandered back, he brought back a piece of bad news.

Ying Guo thought he had heard it wrong: "Didn't the taiko be given to him?"

"He told Ou Le that he wanted to change, Ou Le has a soft temper..."

***

Sure enough, it's too early to be happy!

When Yingguo, Chao Mingming and Jianjian all returned to them from their practice area, Zhou Chengxuan had already taken the drum stick from Ou Le's hand and was trying to play on the Taiko game console.

As for Ou Le, this one has automatically exchanged places with Zhou Chengxuan.

There was another Sun Yunxiao next to him, but he seemed to be the one who was the most angry, and when he saw someone coming, he immediately pulled him away: "Leave them alone, Zhou Chengxuan said that if he misses one, he will change it back tomorrow."

Just hearing this, his face fell down: "Tomorrow? Who gave him the courage? Everyone picks up a song and practice hard, but he is good. He can't practice halfway through the practice, and he asks his teammates to follow along. ?”

Sun Yunxiao pulled him back: "Brother, it's fine to change. If the team has a high score, then we won't say anything. The problem is that he directly said to Ou Le, 'You have to be eliminated anyway'..."

The five were silent for a few seconds, and Yingguo said, "We will gather to check the training results in two hours. If the AC fails, we will replace them."

From the afternoon to the present, it took almost four hours, and a song was less than 3 minutes. I don’t need to count how many times I can practice in the middle, but some people can practice repeatedly to the whole company, while others are still stumbling. The gap may not be too big in the cumulative combo rules, but once it is included in the individual score, the difference will come out immediately.

Instead of doing this, it's better to replace with another teammate and let go of this opportunity to hit a single reward.

Zhou Chengxuan didn't speak this time.

Changing the game is what he asked to change. His own song itself is not easy, and the touch feel of the falling type with a larger contact surface is obviously better than the arcade machine with percussion and settlement like Taiko.

It was difficult for him to test the results two hours after Yingguo brought it up and everyone agreed, but he didn’t have to refute it—at 11 o’clock, they had to go back at 10:[-] at most, and it didn’t take three hours. up.

The restaurant in Coldplay Game Village is only open for DCT trainees, but too many people are busy practicing, and those who come to eat are also in a hurry.

Yingguo and Jianjian saw Kuang Bozhou in the restaurant, and he came here with Li Xingze supported by him.

"what happened?"

Kuang Bozhou looked helpless: "He fell off the dancing machine."

Li Xingze is also really "troublesome". He fell down his tailbone in the A-level positioning match, and now he fell down his knee on the dancing machine.

Simplicity was a bit complicated for a while: "I was fine when I danced with him in the afternoon, but fell down in the blink of an eye?"

Ying Guo didn't know how to speak.

Li Xingze wobbled closer to the dining table and sat down. Kuang Bozhou ordered two meals for himself, and the four of them ate face to face.

"I heard that someone wanted to sneak the machine back to the dormitory for practice."

Li Xingze was looking for something to talk about, so he found this topic as soon as he looked for it, and the other three were so surprised that they almost spit.Especially Kuang Bozhou, he stared at Li Xingze, afraid that he would do something stupid.

"Don't worry, I won't steal it! I just feel numb, and I'll be fine when the pain passes."

Rather, this line of thinking has brought a lot of inspiration to Jian Jian: "Actually, no one has asked the meaning of the program team, who said that we can't bring it back? We can't bring back arcade machines and analog instruments, but we can bring a tablet back to practice. Actually it's okay, right?"

"Are you planning to take it back in a fair manner?"

"Of course!" The simple answer was taken for granted: "Why don't you take it home if you can practice it for a while?"

And their group's current problem... Hey, it really needs more practice.

Probably because there are really many people who reported the problem. After dinner, the program group couldn't help but "release water" on the trainees:

Guess the style of five songs out of seven, and you can take a game back to play (practice)!

Because arcade machines, analog musical instruments and computers cannot be taken away, this choice can only fall on games on the mobile phone.

But even so, the trainees are quite satisfied.

Even so, out of a total of eight teams, only two teams managed to get this temporary reward.

In the four groups, Ying Guo and Chao Mingming were present, coupled with simple sensitive reminders, they successfully jumped out of the genre labels of six songs among the options.

"It's really not difficult..." Ying Guo was puzzled, "Using the method of elimination, the result can be almost reached."

Chao Mingming was also quite puzzled: "The two songs "FIREROSE" and "Long Wish" are really super obvious, and there are two guaranteed songs. Then the R&B song "Destiny's Child" is also easy. When you rest, don't you just watch Weibo? Bo just watches TikTok, and you can’t even guess the house style of "Fly Away"?"

"According to this calculation, we have four songs properly."

"The method of exclusion is also based on the situation where most of the classifications are clear."

Simple sigh: "I don't think the problem lies in this, but that the vast majority of people must not even listen to all seven songs. How can you guess? What do you mean by the program group? When I practiced singing, I felt that It’s a bit wrong, because I always feel that something is missing when dancing in several connecting places.” @无限好文，all in Jinjiang Literature City

"Neighbor Li Xingze fell directly on the dancing machine. He and I danced to a song. I don't know if it's for the same reason..."

Chao Mingming clicked his tongue and said: "I see that the rhythm played on the Yingguo simulator is a bit inconsistent with my drum kit. It can be closed generally, but some small gears do not match."

"And what's even more strange is that when Teacher Pei and Qiao Fen'er came over today, they left without saying anything important. Are they so free?"

"Should they guide us to play games? This is even more strange."

This picture is really a bit unimaginable.

Ying Guo combined doubts throughout the day, and felt that he had vaguely touched the edge: "These songs are probably selected for the next round of survival. But these songs are not complete. Are they not given out for other reasons, or are they really not? "

Chao Mingming shuddered under his will: "Farewell..."

"Others focus on practicing one song or one game. It may not be obvious, but once the same song is played on different games, it feels like a few pieces of the jigsaw puzzle are missing at the end. found the same in the corner of the

***

Until the trainees "reluctantly" left Coldplay's game experience hall and returned to the dormitory, everyone was still thinking about the game.

The tablets I brought back were only two yuan in total, and I could only play with one person at a time.

Presumably at this time, no one will have the cheek to let others "borrow".

The tablet of the four groups is in the hands of Ou Le, and he did what he said: Although he is destined to be eliminated, he will do his best.

During the inspection of the practice results in the group, Ou Le practiced over and over again during the two hours when he replaced the taiko drum and switched to a new game, and hit "The Window of the Champs Elysees" to AC.

However, Zhou Chengxuan, who switched to Taiko, missed one after another in the second half. Before the switch, he didn't play very well, and he didn't see any improvement when he switched to Taiko, which is easier to operate.

According to everyone's previous agreement, Zhou Chengxuan and Ou Le switched positions.

Ou Le didn't agree to change it back: "Let him play the taiko drum, I'm getting used to it quite well now."

After returning, Yingguo and Sun Yunxiao went to see him in Oule dormitory.The other party has been lying on the bed after taking a shower, holding the tablet and wearing headphones to practice "The Window of the Champs Elysees" repeatedly, and the difficulty of the song has changed from four keys to six keys.

"The six-key score bonus is more. If I can practice it tonight, I will use the six-key in the game tomorrow."

Sun Yunxiao was about to be laughed at by Ou Le's persistence: "Are you a human being or not a fairy? Are you going to sleep at night?"

Ou Le looked at him and Ying Guo seriously: "No need, anyway, it's the last night, anyway, I'm going to be eliminated tomorrow, why don't you find a way to win some points for you all!"

Ying Guo rubbed his forehead: "Brother, the team competition only looks at combo. You can play the whole game now, give your fingers a good rest, and it will be enough to work hard tomorrow."

Ou Le still had a reason to retort: ​​"I did the math, and there are nearly 1200 more notes in the six-key than the four-key, which is really a big gap. If Zhou Chengxuan made a mistake, I can make up some more."

"Anyway, I don't want to win a single event. Play more combos and win the team championship, so that everyone can get reward tickets."

Faced with such a teammate who is dead against combo, Yingguo and Sun Yunxiao can't persuade him.

If it is said that Ou Le took the initiative to give up the simpler "Flying Away" to Sun Yunxiao, which made him feel guilty and ashamed, then Ou Le's current state simply pressed these two feelings even tighter and deepened!

"Zhou Chengxuan really stimulated Ou Le. You see, he is as stubborn as a donkey now. He stumbled and stumbled during the practice. Now he can even play the six keys. It turns out that playing games is really good. Use diligence to make up for your clumsiness."

At this point, Yingguo is not afraid of saying anything: "I started to think that he has soft ears. I used to see him because he was afraid that others would ask him to borrow a tablet for practice. He was stupid enough to borrow it..."

"I didn't expect people to be quite tough."

"Yes."

"It seems that apart from Li Yao, Penglai is really a bit..."

Sun Yunxiao regretted it after finishing speaking, and sighed bitterly: "I didn't mean to say that they were embarrassed, but everyone wanted to have a better position for themselves, didn't want to take the blame, just wanted to improve, just wanted to advance..."

Ying Guo sighed softly, "It's understandable, but I don't agree with it. I want to win with dignity."
