Chapter 567: Hope for the Chinese Music Scene

(PS: Reminder! This chapter is variety show plot)

Text:

"Shushu expresses that this is what we like to see."

"Old LSP, GHS is the primary productive force."

"If Miss Luo Quan can take more swimsuit photos, your popularity is estimated to rise by several levels!"

"Indeed, Europe and America are still very open, if you have a figure, you should show it off. (Dog head)"

……………………

"Hehe, you guys think quite beautifully." Miss Luo Quan gave a light "tsk," indicating that you shouldn't even think about this kind of thing.

"However, while you are young and in your prime, you can take a few more photos to record it," Miss Luo Quan thought for a while, but didn't completely deny the fans' point of view. "When I am old and fading, if I am still livestreaming at that time, I estimate that the audience has changed from one batch to another.

When I take out the photos of my youth, I estimate that these little young people will be fascinated by me?"

"Before that, I was already fascinated."

"By the time that happens, I estimate I have evolved from a fat house to a salty uncle."

"But two-dimensional is always two-dimensional."

"Will there really be a day when I am old and fading?"

"Years never defeat beauties, I believe Miss Luo Quan's beauty will never fade."

"Suddenly a bit sad."

……………………

Seeing the barrage sighing, Miss Luo Quan knew that her words made them a bit sad. She didn't like such an atmosphere, so she hurriedly ended this topic.

"Let's talk about getting old here. Everyone is shouting for me to open a concert, but there is no condition to open this in a short time. I will sing for everyone tonight, which is considered compensation." Miss Luo Quan said, taking out the microphone specially used for singing from the drawer and plugging it into the computer.

"How can singing for one night be enough?"

"That is, at least you have to sing for three days!"

"Seconded!"

……………………

People are always getting better, wanting two after having one, but singing for three days is definitely not going to work. The program will be recorded soon, what should I do if I sing my voice hoarse?

So facing these programs, Miss Luo Quan could only pretend not to see them.

A micro-concert started like this. In an hour and a half, Miss Luo Quan sang nearly fourteen songs, rested in the middle, and drank some water.

The usage of this throat is relatively well controlled, not too tired, and can also play a role in exercise.

Although she hasn't been on stage to show her voice for a while, the practice and exercise of vocal music have never stopped. She will hang her voice every morning, so that the vocal cords are always in a state.

This point is actually very important. After all, although her vocal talent is very outstanding, she is a flesh and blood body after all. If she doesn't pay attention to maintenance, problems will easily occur.

Even metal will have fatigue failure, let alone people?

There are too many singers at home and abroad who have had voice loss and deafness in their late career, because they relied on their capital when they were young, used it without scruples, and did not go through scientific nursing, leading to the complete waste of their throats when they were old.

Several Japanese queens, before retiring, had more or less problems with their voices or hearing.

Miss Luo Quan's throat maintenance is still quite good at present, but that is only on the premise that she has not held a concert.

Most of her songs are high-difficulty songs with high-pitched skills. Ordinary people have to pant like a cow after singing one. If she holds a concert, even if she can sing perfectly, she will definitely have hoarse vocal cords the next day.

Participating in the Bilibili New Year's Eve concert before is a living example. At that time, the atmosphere was too high, and she jumped and sang for two hours, and then lost her voice the next day.

This is also the reason why she has always not wanted to hold a concert. There is a reason for laziness, and there is also a factor in protecting her throat.

A concert is something that will have a second one after the first one. As an international star, it is not appropriate not to hold a world tour concert, right?

By the time the circle is sung, the consumption is estimated to be very large.

Therefore, when the fans' wishes are not particularly strong, she is naturally dragging it as long as she can. After all, she now has a legitimate reason for refusal—preparing for the junior year exam.

And right now, after recording the first issue of the Bilibili variety show, she has to go back to Tokyo University to start gnawing on books………………

A farmhouse on the outskirts of Shanghai, this beautiful venue was completely contracted to Bilibili for the production of a variety show.

The name of the program is "Music New Generation," and the farmhouse was also renamed "Cross-Century Village."

It is said that this was taken by mentor Miss Luo Quan, implying that she hopes that the villagers who come to this village can lead the Chinese music scene to cross the new century in the future.

This century is not the conventional meaning of AD, but a new century in the Chinese music scene, which can also be understood as a new chapter.

Musicians in the circle know the current situation of the Chinese music scene too well. It is not easy to evaluate how bad it is, because if it is really evaluated, it is all dirty words that cannot pass the review.

However, today, a new blood has come to "Cross-Century Village," perhaps in the near future, they will change the current situation of the Chinese music scene.

And as a mentor, Miss Luo Quan arrived at the village one step ahead of the students, and had already met the other two mentors.

Besides her, the program group also invited two mentors, one male and one female.

The man is named Xu Shan, in his thirties, the king of love songs in the mainland. Before Miss Luo Quan appeared, he was the one with the best album sales and the highest song traffic in the country, and the quality of his music was also quite good.

Interestingly, this Xu Shan actually had some interactions with Miss Luo Quan before they met, and it was just recently.

When Yang Quan scolded Xu Shan on Zhihu, it was Miss Luo Quan who spoke out for him and resolved this rhythm.

However, Xu Shan seemed to have no Weibo, and did not make any response, but after meeting Miss Luo Quan, he specifically mentioned this matter and expressed his gratitude.

As for the other female singer, she is a Chinese from Southeast Asia, named Yang Li. She is the number one creative female singer in Southeast Asia and has won countless awards. Her strength in Chinese music is very strong.

Three mentors, with reputation, strength, and heat in the music scene, can be said to have quite high gold content.

Besides that, the program group also arranged an off-site music review group of twenty people, all of whom are big guys in the industry, specifically for scoring the students' music off-site.

However, because they are not on the program, the introduction time is relatively short, and Miss Luo Quan just took a look.

After meeting and communicating with the two mentors for a while, Miss Luo Quan put her attention on the students who were about to appear.

A few days ago, she received an email sent to her by Bilibili.

Inside is the song Demo (PS: also called small sample, meaning an incomplete version of a song) of the participating singers.

There are more than 500 creative singers participating in the country this time, but after layers of screening, only 43 people are left, three of which are double combinations, which means a total of 40 places.

These forty places will carry out a three-month competition in Cross-Century Village. In addition to taking the works created before to show, they also have to conduct impromptu creation according to the topics provided by the mentors in Cross-Century Village.

All works will be taken to the stage for singing. Mentors, off-site music review groups, and the big public music review group invited by Bilibili will all score. According to the high and low scores of everyone, it will be decided who can stay or leave.

In terms of rules, it is not much different from other talent shows, but this stage largely depends on the strength of the students. As long as the song is written well and sung well, the score will definitely not be bad.

Miss Luo Quan got these small samples, but as a mentor, she didn't have the right to score in advance. That was the work of the off-site music review group. After the program officially started and the students officially performed, she could comment on the scoring.

But she still couldn't help listening to these small samples. After listening, she could say she had a refreshing feeling.

There are many excellent songs in it. Even if you only listen to the prelude, you can arouse the desire to listen. It is essentially different from those songs that come down from the assembly line on the market.

She seemed to really see the hope of the Chinese music scene. It seems that Bilibili really put a lot of effort into finding so many talented creative singers this time.

Watching the gate of Cross-Century Village on the screen open, Miss Luo Quan knew that the students had arrived one after another.

This place is not close to the city center. Some students took a taxi, some were sent by their parents, and some took the bus.

Everyone was carrying big and small bags. As musicians, musical instruments must not be left behind, so besides changing clothes, almost everyone carried a musical instrument they were good at.

Of course, not everyone carried so many things. Some students only carried a backpack, and it seemed that they didn't bring any musical instruments.

Miss Luo Quan guessed that these students were probably doing rap, just having a mouth, and other musical instruments were not important.

The students were all young, and it looked like the oldest was only twenty-something, and the younger ones were estimated to be underage. They were all very young, about the same age as Miss Luo Quan.

But according to the director, many of the students who came to participate in the program this time have learned music for more than seven years, and many are geniuses in the mouths of their neighbors.

At this time, I don't know who said: "The biggest genius is sitting in our mentor seat."

Everyone laughed.

Miss Luo Quan also laughed, but she hoped to see more geniuses in the student seat

The scene returns to the village. After the contestants entered the village, they were led by a contestant posing as a staff member to find the location of their dorms.

It is clear that this contestant named Hao Shuai is very extroverted and cheerful, and exceptionally talkative; he can build a rapport with the other contestants in just a few sentences, belonging to the typical "social butterfly" type.

To be honest, social anxiety has long been a label for young people in the new era; everyone seems to be unskilled at socializing.

Upon arriving in a new environment and meeting new people, there is always a period of mutual indifference until one of them takes the initiative to speak, only then breaking the ice.

Whether it is roommates or classmates, the situation is the same even for adults in society; it is as if they are very afraid of being noticed and very afraid of communicating with others.

Yet, on the internet, they can talk to people about anything and everything, which is quite puzzling.

For a singer, whether one has social anxiety or is a social butterfly actually doesn't matter; like Miss Luo Quan, who doesn't hold concerts or go on variety shows, she can still stay popular as long as she keeps producing good work.

After all, there will only be you in the recording studio, so there is no need to worry about other things.

However, for a variety show, being eloquent and not stage-frightened is definitely a plus; it means more screen time, and the frequency with which the audience sees them will also be higher.

The competition for resources actually started the moment everyone entered the village, but not many contestants truly grasped this point, and Hao Shuai was one of them.

However, the mentors will not give him extra points just because he is eloquent; whether he can stay until the end still depends on how good his skills are.

But with Hao Shuai's help, it actually saved the staff a lot of trouble. Many contestants were timid and didn't know where to go after entering the village, and it was Hao Shuai who led several of the earlier singers to find their dorms.

After the boys put away their luggage, they ran to the village entrance to welcome the girls.

Among the contestants this time, the number of girls is slightly higher.

There are 25 girls out of 43 people, with all kinds of figures, from plump to slender. Some are actually quite "sturdy," but the production team has no requirements for appearance or body type; as long as they can write good songs, they can advance.

Come to think of it, internationally, those sopranos and pop singers with better vocal skills are generally on the heavier side.

On one hand, this body type has better stamina, and on the other hand, it helps with vocal power, so many chubby female singers have surprisingly strong singing abilities.

Someone like Miss Luo Quan, a slender powerhouse, is actually the minority.

Therefore, in this kind of music program, the appearance of female contestants with this body type is almost synonymous with being a master; their faces are written with unfathomable depth.

Miss Luo Quan took a look at the female contestants who entered the village later; there were quite a few pretty and delicate girls, but she didn't see a single one who could truly be called a high-value beauty.

Unlike the situation with the male contestants earlier, Miss Luo Quan had seen several handsome young men among them.

Is it possible that talent and beauty cannot be possessed at the same time?

This left her stumped. Not to mention herself, the other female mentor, Yang Li, is also a very high-value beauty. Could it be that these contestants are young and haven't fully grown into their looks yet?

That is probably the only possibility. As for looks, she doesn't really care, but she is afraid that the fans will make the wrong choices because of the contestants' appearance.

In this society that judges by appearance, there are many "lookists," and judging people by their covers happens often. She does not want this to happen on this stage; if that were the case, it would be too unfair to the other creators.

With these thoughts in mind, Miss Luo Quan and the two mentors arrived at an open space in the village to prepare for their appearance.

All the contestants have now entered the village; some have gone to the piano rooms or music rooms to play, and the rest are either chatting in the hallways or isolating themselves in their rooms.

Just then, a notification on the village broadcast made everyone look up.
