Perfection

Wen Jianing received a call from Director Chen two days later, informing him to participate in the recording of the TV station's program a week later.

He replied calmly, "Okay."

At the moment of hanging up the phone, Wen Jianing also made up his mind to face this competition seriously.He would rather see this as a game than a draft. He is not showing off to others, but looking for a way out for his future.

After making this decision, Wen Jianing began to look for the contact information of Ke Xinhang's family members.Ke Xinhang's physical disability cannot be known to others, and he doesn't want his parents to know about it only after watching him on TV.

However, in Ke Xinhang's existing contact information, there is no contact number of his parents, nor even his brother's.

Wen Jianing found Ke Xinhang's uncle's phone number, called and asked around, only to find out that Ke Xinhang's parents had passed away, and his brother had a bad relationship with him, and the two of them have lost contact now.

In fact, this is also a good thing, otherwise Wen Jianing really doesn't know how to face Ke Xinhang's family, but Ke Xinhang has a brother who has a bad relationship, which is an unstable factor, which makes Wen Jianing feel a little uneasy.

Wen Jianing went to the bar at night and told Su Shan that he had passed the interview.

Su Shan was a little surprised, "Huh? He really likes you?"

Wen Jianing couldn't help being a little amused, "You don't like me that much?"

"To be honest," Su Shan said, "I really didn't like you before."

As for Ke Xinhang holding the guitar and singing those unpopular songs, no matter how pretty his face is, the entertainment effect may not be enough.Su Shan thought that if Ke Xinhang was willing to go on stage and sing Phoenix Legend with such a face, he might be able to blow up the audience with high.

Wen Jianing didn't mind what Su Shan said. He asked the bartender who was cleaning the bar for a beer, and took it to the back lounge.Su Shan asked him what he was doing, but he didn't say anything.

He walked to the band room in the bar, knocked on the door, put beer on the table, and said, "Today I invite my brothers to drink."

Wen Jianing is a very kind person, and also a person who is good at dealing with people.In the past, on the set, he could even smile and say hello to the cleaning lady, so he has always been popular in the circle and has a good reputation.

Inviting a few members of the band to drink, Wen Jianing's purpose is to ease the relationship with them, and at the same time hope to get some help in music.Now he has no conditions to find a professional music team, so he can only rely on the strength around him to lay a solid foundation for his competition.

His singing skills are a bit weak, so he needs to work harder on song selection. He needs to choose a song that suits his voice characteristics, and then arrange it appropriately to ensure that he will not be eliminated in the first round.

Singing is not his ideal, nor is it his interest. He is even less likely and does not have the ability to realize his dream for Ke Xinhang. He wants to use this competition as a springboard. As for his ultimate goal, perhaps he still wants to Better than Lu Jinlang, truly standing at the pinnacle of his career.

The official recording of the show will be a week later. For the effect of the show, all the singers participating in the competition will go to the rehearsal one day in advance to go through the process.

Although there was no audition, there were nearly 70 participants in the preliminary competition. The rehearsal process was very fast, and the official recording could not be completed in a day.

On the day of the official recording, the backstage was even more lively.There is no makeup artist for the contestants, and what is needed for the first time is their real appearance. In a sense, this kind of talent show is a reality show for these young people who become famous overnight.

Wen Jianing was wearing earphones in the corner and listening to the song he was about to sing on stage. It was a love song with a female voice. His somewhat neutral voice rarely suits him with male voices. On the contrary, female singers can sing some taste.

There was a big makeup mirror in front of him. A young girl was standing in front of the mirror, applying makeup to herself. She tossed and turned, seemingly dissatisfied, but Wen Jianing could tell that she was probably nervous.

Not far from him, a handsome young man was playing the guitar, his eyes drifting away from time to time.

They are all a group of young people chasing their dreams. They seem unrealistic and may not succeed, but they all have the courage to chase them.

Apart from Lu Jinlang, the judges for this competition are all well-known figures in the music world, one man and two women.The competition system is not complicated, except that many people are expected to be eliminated in the first game, after that, performances will be emphasized over competitions, and an appropriate amount of people will be eliminated in each game.

The elimination system for the first round is very simple, with four judges, if more than three pass the test, it will pass, if only two pass, it will be pending, and if less than two pass, it will be eliminated.

In fact, the overall quality of singers is very good. Although the number of eliminated will not be small, but the number of people who pass the test is believed to be quite large.

As for the undecided ones, they will instead become the highlight of the first competition, because each judge has a quota for a pending contestant to pass directly, so among the undecided people, there are only four people in total who can enter the next round It's just a game.

From the beginning of the game, Wen Jianing has been listening to the song quietly in the corner of the big dressing room backstage.

A director directed the cameraman to take pictures of the waiting contestants. Perhaps because he found that Wen Jianing was good-looking, the camera was aimed straight at his face.

Wen Jianing noticed that he was being photographed, so he smiled gently at the camera and waved.

When he appeared on the stage, the show had already been recorded into the evening. After waiting for a long time, he was very tired and there was no quiet environment to rest.Fortunately, he was used to this kind of life when he was acting in the past.

As soon as Wen Jianing walked into the competition venue, he immediately saw Lu Jinlang sitting on the judge's table.

In fact, Wen Jianing didn't quite understand why Lu Jinlang would participate in this kind of program. Lu Jinlang had never been on variety shows and entertainment programs, even if it was to promote movies, he was absent quite a few times.

Sitting here today, although Lu Jinlang didn't have any impatience on his face, his expression was a little indifferent. He just looked down at the player roster routinely, and then looked up at Wen Jianing.

Sitting next to Lu Jinlang is Xu Rujing, the number one singer in the music scene.Seeing Wen Jianing appearing on stage, she leaned close to Lu Jinlang and whispered something in Lu Jinlang's ear.

Lu Jinlang nodded, but did not speak.

Wen Jianing adjusted the height of a microphone, turned his head and nodded towards the band, and then the band began to play.The song he chose to sing was written for her by her ex-boyfriend who was dating the female singer. Qu adapted the song for singing, changing a happy song into a sad love song.The day after her concert ended, the media revealed that it was her ex-boyfriend's wedding day.

What Wen Jianing sang was the sad version of the female singer's revised lyrics.

His voice is very soft, the purpose is to cover up his shortness of breath, and deliberately create an ethereal texture.The part of re-arranging and modifying the treble is also to avoid the sound being too weak when the treble is heard.

However, if it is only from the surface, it seems that he is very devoted to singing. It is a song full of emotions. Wen Jianing uses his clear voice to express the pain and helplessness of being separated from his lover. .

At the end of the song, there was a bit of deliberate crying, and he closed his eyes at the last line of the lyrics.

When the singing ended, the entire studio was silent for a moment, as if everyone had been brought into that painful emotion.

The first person to speak was Xu Rujing, she asked, "Are you crying?"

Everyone thought that the young people on the stage were crying.

Wen Jianing opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, but there was no sign of tears filling his eyes.

Xu Rujing was a little surprised, she didn't speak, and looked at the two people on the left and the right.

Lu Jinlang was the first to make a comment, his tone could not be heard as praise or criticism, and he said: "The acting is good."

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene was a little frozen. When evaluating a singer's acting skills, of course no one would think it was a compliment.Lu Jinlang was so merciless, the audience couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for this young man named Ke Xinhang.

Wen Jianing then cooperated with a slightly embarrassed smile.

Xu Rujing also regained her indifference at this time, she said: "The voice is good, and the emotion is also in place, but as far as singing is concerned, there is still room for improvement."

The third judge was a female singer who returned from overseas, called Wang Mei. She looked down at Ke Xinhang's information, then raised her head, and spoke in a substandard Mandarin: "Isn't Ke Xinhang?"

Wen Jianing nodded.

Wang Mei laughed, raised her hand and said, "Maybe you can improve your singing skills, but I really like the emotion you express in this song. Anyway, you are very handsome!"

There was a burst of applause at the scene.

Wen Jianing also smiled and nodded his thanks.

The last judge is An Yongkang, a well-known domestic male singer-songwriter. He objectively analyzed the problems in Wen Jianing's singing process, analyzed the deficiencies one by one, and told Wen Jianing.

Wen Jianing nodded and said thank you.

Except for Lu Jinlang, among these few people, the other three are full-time singers and do not act, so they have less interaction with Wen Jianing, but they are not completely unknown.

In comparison, Wen Jianing is actually more familiar with Xu Rujing than Lu Jinlang.

But now this familiarity has become his one-sided.

Whether the result is passed or not will be announced on the spot, but the scoring results of each judge will not be announced in detail.

Wen Jianing was mentally prepared to be eliminated, but he didn't expect to be lucky. Two judges gave him the green light and let him wait for the time being.

Before stepping down, Wen Jianing glanced at Lu Jinlang and felt that he was hopeless, and he didn't expect to take away one of the remaining four precious places.Even Wang Mei, who praised him loudly for being handsome, just thought he was handsome, and no one here really thought he could sing well.
