Chapter 86



“Stop!”

An original song “You At The Same Table”, Lu Chen, who just sang the first few words, was interrupted by the female judge.

The 30 to 40-year-old judge, who is still charming, smiled and said, “Yes, I’ll give you a pass.”

She turned to the other two judges and said, “What’s your opinion?”

The two judges nodded, “Pass!”

The female judge smiled at Lu Chen and said, “Congratulations, you can participate in the official audition, good luck!”

Lu Chen was stunned at first, and immediately responded, bowed and said, “Thank you, three teachers.”

He went on stage in less than half a minute, and then he passed?

That was just too fast!

Actually, Lu Chen underestimated his own strength. His strength isn’t only his skill in creating original works and singing skills, but also includes his external conditions, in short, his looks.

1.80m+ height, handsome appearance and good health, in any preliminary draft auditions, will not be easily eliminated – this is the privilege of handsome men.

So as long as Lu Chen can play and sing, the three judges will not care about his original standard, and will pass him directly.

This is an era where looks matters, and Lu Chen belongs to this era!

After he left the stage, a staff member gave him a laminated color-printed cardboard with the “Super Singer” logo printed on the front and his new audition number, 0580.

As for the opposite side of the cardboard, there is the word “promoted” printed in gold letters with the background of the blue sky.

That was a beautiful card. Even if they can’t make it through the next round, it can be collected as souvenir.

Lu Chen didn’t immediately leave the big tent, but waited for the little girl behind him to play.

The little girl with the contestant number 17691 performed very well and played the guitar a little well, so she quickly got her promotion card. When she came down, she saw Lu Chen and proudly raised her round little chin.

Lu Chen laughed dumbly and accompanied her out of the preliminary testing area.

The little girl’s family had long been waiting outside, and when they saw her waving her promotion card triumphantly, they all cried out excitedly, and wished they could immediately announce it to the world on a grand scale.

Lu Chen felt quite good, wished her luck silently, and then left the stadium.

That night, he received a phone call from Chen Jianhao.

The other party simply inquired about Lu Chen’s experience and promotion number in the preliminary audition during the day, and said nothing more.

Lu Chen felt as if his former boss was hiding something or planning something.

It’s just that everyone has their own privacy. So, he doesn’t need to explore it carefully.

Five days is neither short nor long, and it will pass quickly in the busy work.

June 25, “Super Singer” official audition.

The location of the official audition is still in the Capital Stadium, but it was moved from the open-air football field to the indoor basketball court. The scale has been greatly reduced, but the specification has been improved a lot.

After the elimination stage of the preliminary test, although none of the singers who have been promoted to the official audition can be selected in a day or two, Lu Chen’s luck was still there, and he was still scheduled in the first day.

The basketball court was divided in two by the organizers, forming two live broadcasting stages of the official audition. Many of the staff wearing the uniforms of Xiangnan Satellite TV were busy, and more than a dozen seats were set up inside and outside.

Speaking of live broadcasting, it is actually just a video recording. The process of the audition will only be broadcasted on the internet and television after a later editing. The content of the live broadcast is also available, but they are all live interviews and other things.

Therefore, most of the contestants will not appear on the screen unless they advance to the first round of the official competition.

The contestants sat in the auditorium of the basketball court according to their respective promotion numbers and will be called the same way during the preliminary test. Lu Chen observed his surroundings and saw that there were about 300 or 400 competitors on the first day.

And then there was a long wait.

Many of the contestants are very experienced. They gather in twos and threes to talk about music, encourage each other to relax, and practice playing and singing repeatedly at the scene, but they were practicing mostly a part of their song.

At noon, the staff brought lunch boxes.

Although it is only fast food, but the content is still quite rich. Beef, shrimp, eggs and fresh vegetables, are by no means the kind of cheap goods that just cost ten or twenty yuan, and the taste is quite good.

Lu Chen stopped eating when he was half full. It was not that he wasn’t concern wasting food, but that being full was not conducive to singing.

By one o’clock in the afternoon, Lu Chen’s wish was finally achieved when he heard the staff calling his number.

“0580!”

Under the guidance of the staff, he quickly came to the preparatory backstage, and after another two minutes, he officially appeared on the stage!

The number of judges in the official audition have increased to four, two men and two women, and all of them were not unknown. Lu Chen recognized at least two of them. The other two names were a little impressive, but were unfamiliar to him.

The layout of the venue is very luxurious. There are four cameras around the venue. Apart from the four judges, there are seven or eight staff on the site. Even if there is no audience, the atmosphere is very different from the preliminary test.

Faced with four cameras and the gaze of the four judges, Lu Chen didn’t have stage fright. He said with a complacent expression, “Hello, judges and teachers. I am Lu Chen, contestant 0580, from Zhedong.”

As the saying goes, even if one hasn’t eaten pork, but one should have seen pigs running1. Lu Chen has seen a lot of draft videos online in the past few days, and has already been quite familiar with the audition process. Therefore, after going on stage, he introduced himself properly.

“The song I’m going to sing to you today is called “You at The Same Table”. I ask four teachers for advice.”

A female judge smiled and said, “Let’s get started. You have two minutes to sing well.”

Lu Chen knows this judge. She is a well-known female singer in China, Lu Ya. She is good at singing love songs. She should be in her late 30s and nearing 40 years old, but she looks more like she’s in her 20s, full of mature and beautiful charm.

Lu Chen nodded and began to sing with his guitar in his arms.

“Tomorrow will you still remember, the diary you wrote yesterday...”

Drop!

After playing a simple prelude, he had just opened his mouth and sung two sentences, a piercing sound suddenly rang out.

At the table of one of the judges, there was an eye-catching red light!

According to the rules of the audition, this means that the judge did not approve of Lu Chen’s singing and he will not be promoted.

Lu Ya looked at that judge in surprise.

That judge is Zhang Xiaoan, a variety show host for Xiangnan Satellite TV. He is famous in the industry. It seems somewhat unusual that he rejected Lu Chen so quickly.

Lu Chen has no problem being pointed out if he did something wrong, even if he is very skilled and excellent, and the melody of his work is also quite good. But why would he get the red light when he just sang two sentences?

Zhang Xiaoan’s face was expressionless, as if he had not noticed Lu Ya’s gaze at all.

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, and it would be false to say that he had not been affected by the sudden red light.

However, he was not a young newcomer, so he still smoothly continues to play and sing.

“...Tomorrow will you still miss, the you that loved to cry”

Drop!

The second red light is on!

This time, another female judge, Jenny Chen, a female singer and musician who has returned from overseas in recent years to develop herself as a female singer and musician, is now in the limelight in pop music world.

She doesn’t seem to like the style of Lu Chen’s work and frowned impatiently.

According to the rules, if the four judges light three red lights, that contestant will be eliminated directly!

Lu Chen, who had been lit by two red lights, was completely calm. He played and sang half of “You at The Same Table”.

“Thank you!”

He bowed to show his thanks to the judges with his guitar in his arms.

Even though on the surface, he was disturbed by two red lights, Lu Chen’s interpretation of this song was still perfect, and there were no shortcomings.

Zhang Xiaoan faintly said, “The style is too old and the melody is also ordinary. You have to continue to work hard.”

Chen Jenny commented, “You play the guitar well, but we chose the best singers, so I can only say sorry. I hope you will try your best next time.”

The implication is that Lu Chen’s song is not good.

Lu Ya smiled and said, “Lu Chen, I think your work is excellent...”

Drop!

Before she could finish, the fourth judge, sitting on the far left, pressed the red light.

Three red lights, eliminated!

TN: I’ve already explained this before. For those who have forgotten, the proverb: haven’t eaten pork, have seen pigs running means although I haven’t experienced them personally, I have heard of them, I have seen them and I have a little understanding.1
