Chapter 57: Xiaobai's biggest weakness
"Xiaobai, do you really want to participate in the semi-finals of the campus singer competition?" In the laboratory, Zhao Xingsheng secretly glanced at Gu Xiaobai several times, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Well." Gu Xiaobai put down the pen in his hand, raised his head, and said: "Senior Hu Wenbin won the silver medal of the International College Physics Competition, and added 5 points to the overall score. Now it has 94.1 points, which is higher than me.
0.1 points, and Mr. Hu still has two professional courses that he has not tested... According to the calculation weight of the comprehensive score, even if I get a perfect score in the last subject, I may not be able to beat Mr. Hu. After all, he is also likely to get a perfect score in his professional courses...
"
Therefore, I can only participate in the semi-finals of the campus singer competition.
Zhao Xingsheng looked at Gu Xiaobai, suddenly grinned, and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"It hurts." Gu Xiaobai touched his face.
If someone else slaps you in the face, it won't hurt as much as if you slap yourself in the face.
"Ah ha ha ha ha ha..." Zhao Xingsheng laughed so hard in the laboratory that he twitched like a crayfish with its tail pinched.
Finally, you Gu Xiaobai also have today!
Gu Xiaobai touched his face, sighed, and then looked at Zhao Xingsheng quietly.
When Zhao Xingsheng finally stopped laughing, Gu Xiaobai said: "Teacher, I need your help."
…
At Dongyuan International Airport, a plane taking off from Los Angeles just landed.
Professional music critic Deng Pin carried his suitcase and walked slowly out of the airport while checking the messages on his mobile phone.
After a good sleep on the plane, there were dozens of unanswered messages on my phone.
There were inquiries from family members and some business news.
Deng Pin graduated from Yangyin University, but after graduation he and his classmates embarked on a different path.
As a professional music critic, he has become famous and often appears as a guest commentator on various music programs.
Very influential voices, good songs, singers, etc. in China have all invited him to film and review sessions. He is also a celebrity in the music circle, and his opinions have a great influence on netizens.
And he came back this time to serve as a judge for the "'Power of Sound' Dongwon University Campus Singer Competition".
Although it is just a campus singing competition, Dongwon University attaches great importance to the competition. The fact that a professional music critic like Deng Pin is invited to serve as a judge is proof of this.
In addition, there are several senior brothers and sisters who have already debuted among the judges, all of whom have played brilliant roles in the music industry.
After the preliminary round, entering the semi-finals means entering the regular schedule. The competition system of "Yinben Power" is very complete, and it is not inferior to various online competitions. Especially since the year before last, the team mechanism was introduced, and professional players
With the team led by talented musicians, the competition has become more competitive and professional.
This year, there is news that the school will provide further support and may even invite professional teachers to conduct a training camp for the contestants during the summer semester.
The semi-finals are relatively simple. They test the singing skills of all the contestants. It is a hard screening after the preliminary round. It is also a mutual selection process between the team leader and the contestants.
The four main judges were all responsible for leading a team. Deng Pin learned that he was also the team leader.
This is also a new experience for Deng Pin. He used to watch other people lead games and comment on other people's teams and players all day long, but now he has to lead his own team?
Deng Pin was a little nervous and eager to try. After getting off the plane, he planned to go straight to Dongwon University to check the information of the contestants.
While thinking about it, I processed various information. After all the little red dots were clicked, the pick-up car arrived.
Just as Deng Ping was about to get in the car, another message popped up.
Deng Pin has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. He wants to click on all the little red dots on his phone without leaving any of them.
He clicked on his phone and saw that the message was from his old friend Zhao Xingsheng. Inside was a video: "Old Deng, I am a student, please give me a review."
After sitting in the back seat, Deng Pin clicked on the video.
The video seems to be in a laboratory, with a blindingly handsome young man looking at the camera.
"Sing now?"
"Sing it once and I'll ask my friend to comment on it."
"Oh...then I'll sing."
Then for the next five minutes, Deng Pin was in a sluggish state.
This was the first time he heard "Song Girl from the End of the World" like this.
The high-pitched voice came from the airpods that were always hanging on his ears, seeming to isolate him from all the hustle and bustle.
"Who is this?" After a long time, Deng Pin finally remembered and asked Zhao Xingsheng hurriedly.
"I'm a student." Deng Pin could see Zhao Xingsheng's proud expression across the screen.
"Don't make trouble, you are a digger, how can you have such a student?" Deng Pin and Zhao Xingsheng have known each other since the art exam. It has been almost twenty years now, and it can be said that they are so familiar with each other that they are almost dead.
Zhao Xingsheng likes to learn about the latest trends in music from Deng Pin, while Deng Pin likes to learn about the foundation and inheritance of music from Zhao Xingsheng.
It's just that neither of them could directly engage in music-related industries later on, which is also a common regret for both of them.
"I'm really a student of mine. I'm going to participate in the Yinben Force this year. The little guy is very strong. Please help me control my eyes. Is there anything I need to do?"
Shortcomings?
Deng Pin licked his lips subconsciously.
As a music critic, you rely on your ears to make a living. As a professional and top music critic, Deng Pin's ears can be regarded as one of the most poisonous in the industry. But even so, he could not
It’s not enough to know what to say.
Gu Xiaobai's pitch is as accurate as a vernier caliper accurate to two digits after the decimal point.
Although it is sung a cappella, there is no drumbeat or accompaniment, but the beat is as steady as if there is a metronome in the head.
Not to mention, the amazing cover of the original key.
The singing skills of singers, especially those of pop singers, are difficult to compare horizontally. Who is good and who is bad is not determined by who has more accurate pitch or who has a wider range.
There are even some singers whose pitch is not accurate, and they drag and beat to grab the shot, but they just sound good.
This is talent, you can't accept it.
From what Deng Pin heard, Gu Xiaobai's singing skills were at the level of a professional singer, or even a top singer.
It's not a problem to go to the "Singer" stage to play. Of course, whether we can stay is another matter.
At least he has better singing skills than several singers recommended by the Internet this year.
However, just from this song, there is also a fatal flaw.
Not technical.
"Is this really your student? Don't fool me... Your student is very good at singing, but his biggest problem is... he has no emotion when singing."
Even because the singing skills are so strong and the singing is so precise, it seems even more emotionless.
Listening to Gu Xiaobai sing "Song Girl from the End of the World" is like watching the process of solving a physics problem, rigorous and cold.
"Emotions?" On the opposite side, Zhao Xingsheng's fan suddenly burst into flames and wanted to criticize others. A 16-year-old boy sings "Song Girl from the End of the World". What feelings do you want him to have? Is it the feeling of wandering in the end of the world or the feeling of being a singer?
?You force others to make things difficult for you.
You say that we noobs sing without emotion, come and listen to our school song! Will you cry when we sing it?
"Teacher, what did Teacher Deng say?" Gu Xiaobai asked from the other side.
He really wants to get through the rematch.
In Gu Xiaobai's mind, passing the semi-finals means getting first place.
"Teacher Deng said... you have no emotion when singing." Zhao Xingsheng said, "Xiaobai, otherwise we can change the song during the rematch."
Chapter completed!
