Chapter 9 Hell Level Assessment
Due to the characteristics of the Mango Radio Building, the area of the even-numbered studios is smaller than that of the odd-numbered studios, but it is more than enough to accommodate 500 viewers.
After grouping, all mentors will assess 92 combinations on average.
If every group completes the two-and-a-half-minute stage performance, the performance alone will be close to four hours, plus the connection time between each stage, which is even more unimaginable.
Therefore, the program team has formulated a rule that when the instructor believes that the level of the current combination does not meet the requirements, he can directly press the "NO" button on the controller.
The red light on the stage comes on, the current group is eliminated immediately, and they end their performance and leave the scene.
This can save a lot of time.
In Studio No. 4, when the contestants took their seats, mentor Gu Zetao also walked in from the aisle.
Amid the cheers of many contestants, he took the microphone and simply said hello, then changed his previous gentle tone and said in a cold tone:
"Because of my personal experience, I will be more demanding on the stage, so everyone must give 100% of their concentration and level later. I don't want you to be eliminated due to mistakes."
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately sparked discussion among the audience in the live broadcast room.
"Wow! Bro is so handsome!"
"Your cold tone is killing me. Brother, go act in a costume drama!"
"That's right, it's absolutely amazing!"
"Haha, being strict is good. Look at what our brother went through before."
There was some commotion at the scene, and the director tactfully turned the camera to the contestants' seats.
"I heard on the Internet that Gu Zetao would be very strict, but I didn't expect it to be true. What should I do?"
"Oh, I really don't want to take the test here!"
"Everything has its own gains and losses. Although Gu Zetao's assessment is strict, he has a lot of fans! Our exposure here should be the highest among all the mentors."
Many contestants have sad faces, but some are optimists.
As mentioned, the number of people in Gu Zetao's live broadcast room is the highest among all the mentors, with more than 50, which is almost the total number of other mentors combined.
This is certainly due to the fact that he has many fans, but also because the program team has assigned many talented and attractive contestants to this group.
Look, the director cut the reactions of Fenghuang Yufei and GoldenCold together.
Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi looked calm, without showing any signs of worry, lack of confidence or bitterness.
Wang Yaqi and Li Zhenxi were even more relaxed. They chatted with Lin Hailun in a relaxed manner with smiles on their faces. From time to time, they would chat with the contestants next to them. They seemed to have no worries about the upcoming assessment and were very confident.
The contestants at the scene understood their reactions very well, because there was no one among them who didn’t know GoldenCold.
If even GoldenCold can't pass the test, then no one here can pass it.
"No. 191, [Lonely Mountain and Distant Sea]"
The live broadcast sounded, Gu Zetao sat in the mentor seat, and a man and a woman stood up from the contestant seats and walked onto the stage.
"Be steady, be steady!"
"It's settled! Brother Xiaoshan!"
"The first shot! A good start!"
This is a very powerful group. When they stood up, many contestants cheered for them, including Wang Yaqi and other three. You can imagine how strong the influence of this group is.
A familiar accompaniment sounded.
The song sung by Lonely Mountain and Far Sea was a sad love song which was very popular on the Internet. It made Gu Zetao frown slightly.
He has a tablet in his hand that clearly displays the singer's beat, lyrics, and pitch. As long as there is something wrong with the singing, comments will appear.
The reason why Gu Zetao frowned was that the female voice had entered the wrong beat at the beginning. He thought that with the correction of the male voice, the female voice would return to normal.
The result was not only that, but it became even more distorted.
So after singing a song, except for the climax, the beats of both of them were almost all wrong.
Before the performance was about to end, Gu Zetao pressed the "NO" button on the controller. Instantly, the stage lights suddenly turned dark red, like a darkroom for developing photos.
Seeing this scene, many contestants at the scene showed expressions of disbelief.
Gushan and Yuanhai, whose strength was only slightly weaker than GoldenCold, actually failed to pass the audition?
The strictness of this tutor Gu Zetao seems to be a bit beyond imagination!
"No, why didn't Shanhai pass the audition? Is this guy here to make fun of me?"
"Shanhai sang so well, but the sea turtle guy didn't even pass. Is he trying to establish a persona on the show? It's disgusting!"
"Can Shanhai fans be more civilized? Your guy's racket went in the wrong way and he couldn't pull it back. You can't really blame Instructor Gu."
"The person upstairs is a sensible person. He ordered it."
"I told you long ago that this group's name is not good. Isn't the two-character Shanhai good enough? Why does it have to be five characters?"
Some fans couldn’t help but curse at their favorite group in the live broadcast room because they didn’t even make it through the auditions.
However, compared to the excitement of the fans, the person involved was very calm. After being slightly surprised for a moment, he stood there quietly waiting for the instructor's comments.
Gu Zetao held up the microphone, his tone full of regret: "Haili, is it? You were two seconds ahead of schedule. I thought I could pull you back with Xiaoshan's help, but you led Xiaoshan astray. Logically speaking, with your strength, this shouldn't happen, right? Is it because you were too nervous?"
Haili held up the microphone and nodded, choking up a little: "Maybe it's the first time I'm facing such a stage, and with mentor Gu Zetao, I'm so nervous that I can't relax. It's such a pity."
The audience in the live broadcast room and the contestants on the scene were speechless.
There is really nothing much to say about the mistakes caused by personal conditions.
In the dim red light, the first group that was highly expected left the stage sadly.
As they left, the scene seemed to be tinged with a gloomy color, and an atmosphere of grief for the dead began to spread among the contestants.
Suddenly, a light voice sounded, tearing a hole in the enveloping sadness.
"Yeah, I told you that girl took the photo, but you didn't believe me."
Feng Shiqi raised her head slightly, her tone tinged with pride.
Bai Xingjian spread his hands helplessly, looking innocent, "I'm not familiar with this song. I've only listened to it three or five times, so it's normal that I can't recognize it."
Feng Shiqi sneered: "I've only heard this song twice, how can I recognize it? Don't blame the road for your incompetence."
"Yes, yes, yes, you are amazing, you are very amazing, you have absolute pitch, okay?"
Bai Xingjian would rather compliment his cheap sister than admit that he is not good enough.
As for absolute pitch and the like, that's pure nonsense.
How could such a one-in-a-million talent appear beside him?
If that was true, then he would just eat the high heels on Feng Shiqi's feet!
Feng Shiqi glanced at him sideways, said nothing more, and turned to look at the few people who were walking towards the stage.
Perhaps influenced by the elimination of Gushan and Yuanhai, the second group made up a few lyrics and the stage lit up red before they finished singing.
The third group broke their voice under the high-pressure environment and were also eliminated.
The fourth group successfully sang a niche song, but Gu Zetao thought their cover was too conventional and lacked any highlights, so he pressed the red button anyway.
The fifth combination, OUT.
The sixth combination, OUT.
……
The eighth combination, OUT.
At the beginning, all eight stages were lit red.
The live broadcast room where Gu Zetao was located exploded, and the mentality of the remaining contestants on the scene also exploded.
Mom, what kind of hellish difficulty test is this?
I want to go home!
