Chapter 1110

"Minna-san, tadaima. (Everyone, I'm back.)"

Miss Luo Quan turned on the camera and found that there were already quite a lot of viewers in the livestream, so she greeted them enthusiastically.

"Holy crap, Japanese."

"Your Japanese is truly excellent."

"As expected of someone from Bilibili, a veteran otaku."

"Isn't the competition starting yet? Several platforms have been advertising it this afternoon, and the setup is quite grand."

"It seems they didn't mention the rewards."

Miss Luo Quan's greeting drew complaints from many fans. After looking at the questions everyone was more concerned about, Miss Luo Quan replied: "For the rewards of this competition, the first place can win a prize of two million, as well as traffic support from Bilibili, plus some mysterious rewards; in short, there are many benefits.

In addition, as long as you enter the final day, various rewards will not be bad; detailed plans will be given later; in short, they will definitely be quite generous.

As for the qualifiers, they start tonight and will last for three days; as long as you have the courage, you can come and participate."

After saying this, Miss Luo Quan entered the dedicated competition channel on YY.

The personnel sorting and such had already been adjusted by her subordinates. Although it was said that anyone could participate, in reality, those who have the courage to show themselves in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers are, after all, in the minority.

Even for a stunt, not everyone can have the thick skin to do it, let alone perform a serious performance.

If you sing poorly, you will be mocked to death by the viewers in the livestream.

So those who dare to sign up are all music students or music streamers with some strength.

After announcing the start of the competition, the first contestant first gave a self-introduction:

"Hello audience friends, hello Teacher Luo, I am Douyin streamer Raccoon-chan. I have studied vocal music for a few years, and the song I am performing for everyone today is 'October Golden Autumn'."

After saying a few words, there was no sound; a very clean and neat self-introduction.

"Using a big move right from the start?"

"'October Golden Autumn' is not low in difficulty."

"This competition is quite inclusive; Douyin streamers can actually participate too."

"Does anyone know this Raccoon-chan?"

"A small streamer on Douyin with over a hundred thousand fans, doesn't show her face, the avatar is very good-looking, don't know anything else."

"A VTuber, then this time our brothers in the V-circle must help support the scene."

"You're right, but follow Jia Ran, and you'll have a feast every meal."

"Holy crap, Ran!"

Obviously, a streamer with no fame could not attract everyone's attention; instead, they preferred to interact with the fans of a certain popular VTuber in the barrage.

As the VTuber with the most fans on Bilibili, Jia Ran can be considered a representative figure of the V-circle.

However, from the current perspective, energetic girls like Jia Ran no longer have much popularity; big-chested royal sisters who can drive seem to have more charm.

And Raccoon-chan's virtual image did not keep up with the version, still focusing on cuteness.

Just when everyone thought this was the first cannon fodder of the competition, Raccoon-chan stunned everyone with a loud chant.

"October Golden Autumn" is a piece of folk music; many folk music pieces will have a chant at the beginning when there is no accompaniment.

Whether a singer has a level can be heard from this chant at the beginning.

Raccoon-chan's chant really displayed the three words "Golden Throat" to the fullest; the sound pressure of the high notes was not only extremely penetrating but also not harsh at all, quite mellow and full.

This level is definitely not something that can be learned by studying vocal music for a few years; what everyone thought of as a few years might be two or three years, while Raccoon-chan's, at least ten years!

Relying on her stunning opening, Raccoon-chan made all the distracted fans start to focus their attention.

And the following singing segments were also one wave higher than the next.

And besides high notes, the handling of turns, vibrato, and long notes were all very excellent.

With Miss Luo Quan's level, if she wanted to pick faults, she could definitely still pick them out.

But to the fans, it was completely at a perfect level.

After the song was finished, the barrage was already completely different from when it started.

"'Only studied vocal music for a few years'"

"With this level, why participate in an online competition? Just go directly to participate in the Youth Singer Competition."

"The singing skill is really good; it made me cry."

"The first contestant is already this fierce; the pressure on the following contestants is so high."

"Is there still a need to score? Directly advance to the finals!"

Although the barrage was all about being sent to the finals, the scores that should be given still had to be given.

The mentors and the audience scored at the same time.

Currently, besides Miss Luo Quan who is livestreaming on Bilibili, there is also Gao Liang who is livestreaming on Douyin.

The two people's fans account for 20% of the total score, and the remaining 80% is decided by the audience's scoring.

Gao Liang does not understand the Chinese folk singing method, but his vocal knowledge is still quite professional, knowing how difficult it is to sing to this level.

To put it bluntly, among those popular pop singers in the United States now, not many can sing at this level.

So on a 100-point scale, he gave 93 points.

Actually, he felt that 93 was quite conservative; for an amateur, giving 95 or 96 would not be excessive.

And because Miss Luo Quan's level is higher, hearing some flaws in Raccoon-chan's pronunciation and insufficient breath in the long notes at the end of the high-pitched part, plus the emotion was not particularly full, she gave an 89.

If another judge gave 89 points, the enthusiastic fans would definitely greet her well, and maybe even add a "If you can do it, why don't you go up."

But such words really dare not be said to Miss Luo Quan, because if she goes up, she really can do it.

Miss Luo Quan, who has the reputation of a "walking CD player," has always been synonymous with singing skills.

Although she withdrew halfway through the "I Am a Singer" variety show, she didn't take first place in every episode either.

But discerning people know that as long as Miss Luo Quan kept competing, the King of Singers for that season would be none other than her.

The god-level live performances she contributed many times at galas also proved her strength; that was no longer the national team, but an existence that could rank among the best in the national team, a proper world-class singer.

With such a level, she can of course point out the country at will.

And after Miss Luo Quan commented on these shortcomings, Raccoon-chan herself immediately admitted that she really hadn't done well, and also said thank you for Teacher Luo's guidance.

"After going down, do more breath training to make up for this part, and you will definitely be able to go further." Miss Luo Quan had now completely transformed into a teacher at a music conservatory, starting to give earnest teachings to the contestant.

Raccoon-chan also cooperated very well: "Okay teacher, I will definitely practice hard after going down."

Soon, the audience's scores also came out, reaching as high as 98 points.

Combining the scores of fans and mentors, the final score was 96.6, which is already a quite high score; and this was only the first contestant, it is estimated that the opening was the peak.

"Teacher Luo's serious look is so scary; it reminds me of my head teacher."

"Luo Bao has the potential to be a head teacher; I don't know what it's like when she picks up a teaching stick to lecture people."

"Suggest pairing it with black silk and high heels."

"Haha, what kind of Japanese movie plot is that."

"Speaking of which, it seems Luo Bao hasn't cosplayed this image yet, right?"

"Suggest that the next cosplay should be this!"

Teacher was originally a sacred profession, but because there are too many teachers in Japan, sometimes it always causes such associations.

Miss Luo Quan was also dumbfounded after seeing it: "Everyone be serious; don't be too outrageous."

She paused and continued: "Next, please let the second contestant introduce themselves."

"Hello audience, hello Station Master, I am Bilibili music section up-master Cheng-ge."

Hearing him call Miss Luo Quan Station Master, one knew it was one of Bilibili's own people.

"Daring to call yourself Cheng-ge, little brother, you have a lot of courage."

"Calling Saionji Sekai."

"Kanashii yo~~~"

"Haha, could it be that Cheng-ge plans to sing this song?"

"That would be too much of a program effect."

"Are there any fans of Cheng-ge here to introduce him to everyone?"

"Cheng-ge's singing skill is very strong, but he has always liked to do stunts, so everyone get ready to listen to Cheng-ge's execution song."

"Ah this..."

"You laugh at Cheng-ge for dying early..."

Amidst laughter, all the fun-seekers were already prepared to start playing memes.

However, the YY chat area showed that the song Cheng-ge brought was "Unravel," which is a song that few people on Bilibili dare to attempt.

Even if someone performs it, they use a piano or other instruments.

Because this song is really too difficult, with a large number of high notes and a large number of true and false voice transitions, just singing it according to the original singer's key is very difficult, so many up-masters choose to lower the key or directly change the arrangement when covering it.

Don't know which one Cheng-ge will choose.

However, when they heard the cheers in the accompaniment played by Cheng-ge, everyone was surprised.

"Unravel" only has one version that has cheers, and that is the live version Miss Luo Quan sang at the Tokyo University campus music competition back then; that is also one of the peak embodiments of Miss Luo Quan's singing skills, and it is still one of the famous scenes on Bilibili, with over 30 million views.

This is the only version that has many covers, but no one has ever been able to surpass it.

And Cheng-ge actually dared to challenge this version; if he didn't want to do a big stunt, then he must have a quite high level.

As Cheng-ge opened his mouth lightly, people held their breath, wanting to see how much he really had.

Facts proved that when a person who likes to do stunts gets serious, the power that erupts is quite astonishing.

It is already quite difficult to fully interpret a song with a difficulty as high as S+, and Cheng-ge's handling of most details was perfect, which truly stunned everyone.

After the performance, Cheng-ge panted heavily, and the audience also expressed their inner shock and love with a full screen of 100 points.

"This has already sung my 'Unravel' with his own flavor; it deserves 95 points!"

Miss Luo Quan thought for a while and gave a very high evaluation, and then she asked: "Cheng-ge should be professionally trained, right? Is it convenient to talk about your experience?"

Cheng-ge adjusted his breath and replied: "I am a senior graduate of the Pop Music Department of Shangyi; speaking of which, you are still my senior, Station Master."

"Yo, so it's one of our own." Miss Luo Quan laughed, "But the singing skill is indeed very good; the little junior is still quite good; if I had known, I would have given you 0.5 more points."

"Holy crap, openly pulling connections, right!"

"I protest, I hope the competition is fair, just, and open."

"I announce your protest is invalid, because Bilibili is Luo Bao's, and she can do whatever she wants."

"Good guy, is she being this arrogant?"

"Sorry, the Station Master is just this arrogant."

"Jokes aside, Cheng-ge's singing skill is obvious to all; he definitely has the strength to compete for the championship."

"Anyway, I gave 100 points; it's a pity that 100 points is my limit, but not his limit."

"I'm going, the total score is 98.2, it should be the highest score, right."

Amidst laughter, Cheng-ge, who likes to do stunts, got the highest score so far.

However, originally everyone thought this was already today's peak, but they didn't expect it was just a beginning.

Every time a newcomer appeared, they could bring huge surprises to everyone, and just when everyone thought this was already the best of the whole show and no one could surpass it, the next newcomer would slap everyone in the face hard.

The atmosphere of the competition was like the waves in Hawaii, one wave after another, constantly slapping on the shore.

The first twelve contestants basically all had online singing skills, and each had their own characteristics; the songs performed covered Chinese, English, and Japanese, rock, folk, rap, and pop; they sang everything.

And when asked about their origins, they also came from all over the country; there were the old three big ones like Shangyi, Guoyin, and Yangyin, and there were also world-famous schools like the Juilliard School or Berklee College of Music in the United States; every one of their academic qualifications was not ordinary.

The key is that these academic qualifications are also likely not bragging, because singing like this is definitely not a level that can be reached by self-study at home; it must be reached with the guidance of professional teachers and scientific training.

From this, it can be seen that there are indeed many masters among the people, but masters among the people does not mean that the places where they learned their arts before were some diploma mills.

The market is saturated; not every music student can become a singer after graduation, and being a singer doesn't necessarily mean you will become popular.

But choosing to walk this path, they only have these skills, so they can only go to be streamers and VTubers.

So on Douyin and Bilibili, there are many such young people with hidden strength; they don't lack strength, what they lack is just a platform that lets everyone see them.

And now Miss Luo Quan just happened to give such a platform, and they just happened to seize the opportunity, so the popularity came.

This is the reward for their years of honing their skills; it's a pity that not everyone who works hard can get a reward; compared to other classmates, they are a bit luckier.

The Bilibili Song Festival audition competition lasted until two in the morning before ending, lasting for a full six hours.

But the popularity value of the livestream room kept rising, and it didn't start to drop significantly from the heat of 60 million until two o'clock.

If it were in the afternoon, I believe the popularity value of the livestream room would be even more terrifying.

Such data can definitely be called a good start.

Promoting it on Weibo tomorrow and doing a linkage with Douyin, reaching 100 million heat shouldn't be a difficult thing.
