Chapter 46 Participating in the preliminary selection
The atmosphere at the audition was somewhat somber.
The contestants before me were either completely off-key or screaming like ghosts, as if they were holding their own concert.
The three judges sat behind the long table, looking utterly dejected.
The bald judge in the middle, wearing sunglasses, was yawning incessantly, his pen twirling rapidly, as if he couldn't wait to finish work and go home for a boxed lunch.
"Next, number 108!"
The staff member shouted.
Jiang Bai took a deep breath, lifted her skirt, and walked onto the simple stage.
That instant.
The once noisy square now seemed to have been choked.
Quiet.
A deathly silence.
The bald judge, who had been looking down and picking at his fingers, sensed something was off and instinctively looked up.
When I looked up, my sunglasses almost slipped off.
hiss--
Where did this deity come from?
In the sunlight, the girl in the white dress stood quietly, her black hair cascading down, and the pearl hair clips by her ears shimmered with a warm luster.
Especially her face, which was as delicate as a porcelain doll, but her eyes revealed a cold and aloof feeling.
A charm value of 10 points is terrifying!
The bald judge immediately sat up straight, straightened his collar, and even arrogantly pushed up his sunglasses.
The female judge next to her, who had been keeping a stern face, brightened up, and her hand holding the microphone softened a bit:
"Um... hello, please introduce yourself."
Jiang Bai held the microphone stand, her voice clear and sweet:
"Hello, judges. My name is Jiang Bai."
"I'll be performing an original song, 'Love You'."
The voice just fell.
All three judges frowned simultaneously.
The chubby judge on the far left flipped through the documents in his hand and interrupted impatiently:
"Original?"
"Ma'am, are you sure this is an original work?"
"The most popular sad love song on the market right now is also called 'Love You.' We've listened to it at least ten times this afternoon. Our ears are practically calloused."
"If it's a cover song, or a so-called original song with a few lyrics changed, then there's no need to sing it; there are hundreds of people waiting in line."
Clearly, they mistook Jiang Bai for the kind of contestant who uses sensationalist headlines to grab attention.
After all, people who are this good-looking are usually just pretty faces and don't have any creative talent.
The audience members below the stage were also whispering among themselves.
"Is it 'Love You' again?"
"I'm sick of this song."
"What a waste of that face, it would be so great if he sang something else."
Jiang Bai remained calm in the face of criticism.
He tilted his head slightly, revealing a smile that could melt ice and snow:
"Teacher, even though the song title is the same."
"But my 'Love You' is different from that one."
The chubby judge curled his lip: "What's the difference? Are you suggesting they can sing something fancy?"
Jiang Bai blinked, his tone serious:
That song is bitter.
"My song is sweet."
"The kind that's so sweet it'll make your teeth fall out."
Sweet?
The three judges looked at each other in bewilderment.
Turning a sad love song about being a backup option into a sweet one? That's a bit of a mystery.
The bald judge, considering his good looks, waved his hand generously:
"Alright."
"Since you're so confident, let's begin."
"The audition time was limited, and there were many people later on. There was no accompaniment, so we sang a cappella."
"You have thirty seconds. If you can't move us, we'll just leave."
Thirty seconds?
enough.
For the "Sweetheart Queen's" songs, the intro is a killer move, and the very first line is a bombshell.
Jiang Bai closed his eyes and gathered his emotions.
[Heavenly Sounds], now open!
[Androgynous], maximum power!
When I opened my eyes again.
The coldness in his eyes faded, replaced by a vibrant energy and sweetness.
He didn't sing it directly.
Instead, he first gave a soft laugh into the microphone.
"Heh~"
That soft laugh was like a feather brushing against my heart, sending shivers down my spine.
Followed by.
There is no accompaniment; it starts with pure vocals.
If you suddenly sneeze, it must be because I'm thinking of you~
If I get woken up by my phone in the middle of the night, ah~ that's because I care~
The sound came out.
The three judges, who had been scrutinizing each other, suddenly widened their eyes.
The chubby judge's pen fell to the table with a thud.
The female judge covered her mouth.
The bald judge's sunglasses finally slipped down, revealing a pair of small, shocked eyes.
sweet!
It is too sweet!
This sweetness isn't the kind of artificial, contrived sweetness.
Rather, it is a sweet and refreshing feeling full of youthful energy, like the beauty of first love.
It's like a freshly opened orange soda in summer, with bubbles bursting on your tongue!
"Perform a little more~"
"Let me really see it~"
"Oh Bye, say less~"
I want to spend more than just one day with you~
As Jiang Bai sang, he gently swayed his body to the rhythm.
Even without accompaniment.
But his naturally rhythmic voice managed to create the feeling that the whole world was moving in sync with him.
The audience was stunned.
Those people who were just complaining about how "nauseating" it was, now had their mouths agape, drool practically dripping down their faces.
"A little more~"
"I'd do it willingly~"
"I love you~"
The final syllable of "I love you" has a slight trill, making it playful and alluring.
After Jiang Bai finished singing, he didn't forget to make a heart shape with his hands towards the judges' panel.
Blink!
Lore!
The entire audition site fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone felt their blood sugar spike at that moment.
The bald judge touched his smooth head and felt as if pink hair had grown on it.
He took a deep breath and picked up the microphone.
The voice was even trembling slightly:
"that……"
"Did you really write this song?"
Jiang Bai nodded: "Absolutely genuine."
"good!"
The bald judge slammed his hand on the table, ignoring the 30-second time limit, and held up the pass card:
"This is what 'Loving You' should be like!"
"Who just said they were sick of listening to it? Come out and take your punishment!"
"This song is so catchy! All I can think about right now is Baby!"
The female judge also raised her pass card without hesitation, her eyes full of admiration:
"Sweet but not cloying, and with an excellent voice!"
"Although it was an a cappella performance, the pitch and rhythm were impeccable!"
"Jiang Bai, right? With your looks and your voice, it would be an injustice if you didn't become famous!"
The portly judge picked up his pen and, without saying a word, stamped a large red seal on the application form:
"pass!"
"Direct advancement!"
"Remember to bring the backing track to the district competition tomorrow! I want to hear the full version!"
"Thank you, teacher!"
Jiang Bai smiled sweetly and accepted the pass card that symbolized advancement.
But inside, he was laughing hysterically.
Become!
100,000 yuan, in hand!
Basic dance skills acquired!
Phase one of the mission is successfully completed!
He didn't linger on stage. He turned around, lifted his skirt, and flew off the stage like a happy little butterfly.
They left behind a group of audience members and judges who were still immersed in the "sweet storm" and unable to extricate themselves.
"Who is this girl?"
"It's too sweet!"
"Three minutes! I need all her information!"
"This song is going to be a hit! Who recorded this? Send it to me now!"
The crowd stirred.
Jiang Bai, who had caused the commotion, had already slipped into the crowd in the mall.
If you don't run now, when will you wait?
Hurry up and find a place to change out of this women's clothing, then go collect your money!
