The style of a small county town means that the slightest disturbance will be known to the whole city, let alone such a big fanfare now.

When Zhou Zhi went to school that night with two thick playlists, many classmates had already come over to inquire.

During the second period of the next morning, Guan Tingting's sweet voice sounded from the loudspeaker of the school radio station: "Good news, good news! Dear students, the county is organizing a karaoke competition. I hope that our school students will

They also actively participated, especially in the pop song part, and the students have a huge advantage.”

"In order to facilitate the majority of students to register for the competition, through operation, our school's radio station has undertaken the glorious task of counting the registrations of Jiachuan Middle School students. Now students only need to come to our radio station during class time to register easily."

"If the students who sign up for the competition obtain relevant rankings in the county, the school will also provide encouragement and rewards. I hope that the students will live up to their time, sing loudly, participate enthusiastically, show their style, and strive for good results!"

A thoughtful voice sounded: "You can come to the radio station to check the alternative songs for the competition. The organizer requires each contestant to prepare two songs, but that is only a preliminary requirement. I personally suggest that it is more appropriate to prepare three to five songs. Register

There are still two days left, everyone hurry up."

"Now I will play a song for you that was recorded using the equipment used in this competition. It is "My Motherland" sung by Guan Tingting, a classmate from our school."

"Any student who is willing to keep a recording of his or her songs in the competition can get a tape of the songs sung in this competition as a souvenir by paying a fee of ten yuan."

"This is a benefit that the school has secured for the students. Next, please listen to the recording effect."

After the melodious prelude of the music, Guan Tingting's sweet singing voice sounded on the radio: "A big river - wide waves - wind blowing rice flowers - fragrance on both sides..."

Guan Tingting turned off the microphone, closed her eyes in intoxication, and listened to her own singing: "Wow, I sing so well..."

To be honest, we cannot blame Guan Tingting Versailles, and it was indeed the first time for her to "really" hear her own singing voice.

When a person sings without the help of equipment, most of the singing sound he hears is transmitted to the ears through the organs in the body, so it is actually different from what outsiders hear.

Only through in-ear monitoring, or recording and playing, can you truly know what your singing sounds like to others.

Of course, karaoke can also perform some of these functions, because the singing outside the body is amplified many times. When it is heard by the singer again, it has been amplified many times by the amplifier equipment, completely overwhelming the transmission inside the body.

It doesn't matter to ordinary people, but for professional singers, if there is no teacher to monitor and guide them in real time, then singing karaoke is the easiest way to find the details that you can't hear, but others hear them as flaws.

"Tingting, you need to learn how to operate the DJ quickly." Zhou Zhi said: "When the karaoke room is opened and there are no customers on weekend mornings, you can practice singing."

"Yes." Guan Tingting clearly understood the importance of this equipment in improving her singing skills, and nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Brother Jiuzi."

"Why are you thanking me? You have to thank Brother Dayong. When the time comes, he will be more diligent and sweet-tongued. If you see anyone in the hall who needs help, just lend a hand."

"My mother secretly told me that Brother Dayong can't handle such a big mess, and you are the expert in doing this."

"Uh... um..." Before Zhou Zhi could think of how to explain, someone had already poked his head at the door: "Is something wrong with this classmate?"

"Brother Zhuzi, can I sign up now?" The person who poked his head was a boy with long hair.

When Zhou Zhi was the host of the New Year's Day art show last year, he also served as the "Assistant to the Art Director". He is familiar with the literary and artistic backbones on campus. He once played a guzheng and a Chinese and Western violin with Su Meng at the art show.

Ensemble player: "Xu Jingfei! Come on, come on. Let's take a look at the playlist."

Xu Jingfei looked at the playlist book: "Wow, there are so many songs? Are there any by Leslie Cheung?"

"Look at the letters on the header. They are arranged according to the initials of the singers' surnames. Leslie Cheung and Jacky Cheung are at the back."

"I'll sing "The Wind Keeps Blowing", and... "Unruly Wind"." Xu Jingfei said, but his eyes went straight to Guan Tingting: "Tingting, you sang so well, you want to serve the nation

?"

"My ethnic minority is popular!" Guan Tingting, who is also the backbone of literature and art in junior high school, also knows him: "In addition to playing the violin, you can also sing?"

"Singing blindly, I will sing blindly...Hey, what do the letters and numbers behind this song mean?"

"That's the disc number and track order. This makes it easier for the DJ to quickly find the disc where the song is located. It doesn't matter to you, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Oh, by the way...who should pay for the tape recording?"

Zhou Zhi looked at Guan Tingting and smiled: "Tingting, business is coming to your door."

Xu Jingfei was just an activist, and soon more and more people came to sign up for consultation.

They are all at an age where they are eager for fun and novelty. After three days of counting, there were more than 100 contestants, accounting for one-tenth of the total number of students in the school!

The number of people who signed up across the county was as high as over 800!

It became lively now, and on the weekend a week later, the preliminary competition officially began.

At eight o'clock in the morning, in the small square below China Merchants City, iron railings were set up around the judges' bench, and the county also sent armed police and public security to maintain order.

Outside the stage and railings, there was a sea of ​​people watching the show.

The participating singers were all lined up in the aisles of the Merchants City, and it was impossible to sing all the songs. Each singer was given four minutes to perform before the judges started scoring.

The only ones who can operate the equipment skillfully are Zhou Zhi, and the sound engineer of Wuse Audio Equipment Co., Ltd. - Slender Monkey Li Jia, Party B of the decoration project who was roped in by Zhou Zhi to accompany him.

This is still a very intense process, with more than 800 people each taking four minutes. Not counting the time for getting on and off the stage and grading, it takes more than fifty hours, and eight hours a day, which takes six or seven days.

Although there are three groups, there are basically no people in the bel canto group, one-third of the ethnic group, and the rest are crowded in the popular group.

In order to save time, the godfather decided to divide the performances into groups. Bel canto and ethnic groups held preliminary competitions in the Cultural Center and Sichuan Opera Troupe respectively. Bel canto was pure a cappella, while ethnic groups only had accompaniment, and they also sang with a meaty voice.

Only the pop song special performance held on the small square stage of China Merchants City is the full and lively performance.

There is nothing we can do about it, otherwise with so many people, the preliminary round alone would take seven days.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhi adheres to the good habits left behind by later generations working in large organizations when it comes to playback equipment, namely ld machines. Key equipment must be backed up on two machines. Only two machines can support such operations.

The Bel Canto contestants are really beyond praise. The schools, enterprises and institutions in Jiachuan, as well as the talent reserves of the people in towns and villages are really too small, and what they get in the end is a mess.

There was no other way. In the end, everyone brainstormed and merged the two singing styles, Bel Canto and National Singing, and expanded the number of second and third place winners in the "Ethnic Bel Canto Category" to three and five respectively.
Chapter completed!
