Chapter 627 "Spring of the Band" Drawing Lots(1/2)
On April 1st, a new month begins again.
For ordinary people, this is not a special day. At most, it is just an "April Fool's Day" to joke with friends.
But for music-loving bands across the country, this is a very special day.
Because, tonight, the organizer, Chengdu TV Station, will announce the names of 8 bands from each of the four competition areas, for a total of 32 bands selected for the main competition, and conduct a 32-to-16 matching lottery ceremony!
Because the PK of 8 teams will be broadcast in each of the first four episodes, a live matching draw will be held on Chengdu TV Station at 8 o'clock tonight to decide who will play against whom and in which episode.
Have a match.
"Hey, it makes me a little nervous..."
The elderly Zhou kept rubbing his hands, sitting in special seats in the tavern with Jiang Kan, Liu Zhiheng and others, watching the lottery scene on the big screen.
Zhang Liheng and other band members stood on the left and right sides of the big screen even more nervously and expectantly than him, staring nervously at the TV with the regular patrons in the tavern, expecting to draw someone who was not that powerful.
opponent.
Although they have the confidence to defeat any opponent, after all, Jiang Kan is the lead singer in the team this time, and with such a big star participating, there is no reason to lose.
But what if, what if we really meet the few well-known bands left in the country that were founded decades ago and have been passed down?
Such as Crazy Leopards, Rolling Stones, Second Hand Rose, Sui and Tang Bands...
They are all well-known domestically established bands that were founded very early and have survived ever since, and have a large number of fans.
If I met them at the beginning of the main game, I would not say that I have no confidence at all, but I would always be very worried and apprehensive. After all, they have been famous for a long time, and even I have been their fan and fan for many years...
"But don't be these few, don't be..."
Guitarist Li Bo and bassist Wang Shuai both clasped their hands in front of their chests involuntarily and nervously watched the host on the screen talking.
Next to the host, there are several big names in the domestic music circle, as well as respected musicians such as the deputy dean of the Sichuan Conservatory of Music. They will soon be the guests who draw lots to perform for "Spring of the Band"
》32-to-16-matching battle to extract matching opponents.
"Brother Kan, you are the calmest. Look how nervous Lao Zhou and the others are."
Liu Zhiheng took a half bottle of beer and took a sip nervously, but when he saw Jiang Kan next to him looking content, he praised him with admiration.
"Ha, I'm nervous, why shouldn't I be nervous? After all, I haven't come into contact with any of the big guys in China in terms of the band..."
Jiang Kan laughed and shook his head.
He was actually a little nervous, but it was not as exaggerated as he imagined. After all, he was very confident in the songs provided by the system, even though the well-known domestic bands have been around for a long time and have many fans.
However, their representative songs are already decades old, and they have always relied on their emotions to maintain their fans back then. In recent years, the band has gradually become quiet, and they have written fewer and fewer good new songs.
In terms of competition, the competitiveness is actually not as strong as imagined.
Therefore, Jiang Kan still feels relatively confident. Even if he encounters those well-known bands, he is confident that he can win them.
"Ha, Brother Jiang is very talented. He can write and sing. We are full of confidence!"
Lao Zhou also laughed and took a sip of the beer in his hand, but still seemed a bit forced and calm as he boasted.
After all, he had grown up listening to the songs of these bands for so many years, and suddenly one day he had to compete with them on the same stage. He still felt dreamy and a little afraid from the depths of his consciousness.
"Haha, Lao Zhou, you deserve the prize. It's all the strength of the band. We can't be timid before we fight! Look, the lottery has begun!"
While Jiang Kan was being modest, the guests on the screen had already started the formal drawing of lots!
"Dear audience friends and participating band players, now we have invited Mr. Zhang Guangbei, the deputy dean of the Sichuan Conservatory of Music, and Professor Wang Tiancheng, the former dean of the Shanghai Music Conservatory of Music, to draw the first band for you.
The battle variety show - "Spring of the Band", the 32 competing bands that advance to the top 16, please welcome everyone with a round of applause!"
The intense music sounded, and the two highly respected musicians and educators stood up from the guest seats, looked at each other and smiled, and then they both walked towards the cardboard box containing the balls with the names of all participating bands.
"Mr. Zhang Guangbei will draw the name of the band in Group A, and Professor Wang Tiancheng will draw the name of the band in Group B."
The host stood aside and read out the lottery rules in a smooth and emotional tone.
"In each period, we will arrange for 8 bands to compete. For example, in the first period, A1 vs. B1, A2 vs. B2, A3 vs. B3, and A4 vs. B4."
"Every match will be scored by the on-site judges, the audience and the audience in front of the TV, and the winner of each match will be decided on the spot!"
"And these winners will be able to enter the top 16, waiting for the next round of fighting!"
"The losers will compete for the fifth place among all the bands in the eighth episode of the Resurrection Battle. The winner will compete with the other top four bands for the final ranking in the final night of championship!
"
Jiang Kan, Lao Zhou and others stared at the screen with sharp eyes, listening to the host's voice.
At this time, the tavern also changed from noisy to noisy and gradually became silent.
Because they all know that the friend of the boss here will participate in this competition.
Their favorite singer Jiang Kan will also join this program as the lead singer of the "Winter Rain Band".
They are all old customers, and they naturally hope that their favorite and familiar singers and bands will get a good ranking and become famous all over the world.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Haha, Lao Wang, we haven't seen each other for a long time. The last time we saw each other was at the 90th anniversary celebration party of your school's piano major...
"
Zhang Guangbei stood in front of the lottery box, not in a hurry to take action, but chatting with an old acquaintance beside him.
"Haha, that's right, Lao Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time, but speaking of the 90th anniversary celebration of the piano major, I still have to congratulate you on the birth of a piano genius in Chengdu."
Wang Tiancheng did not rush to draw lots, but also chatted with Zhang Guangbei, who was also a teacher and leader of the Conservatory of Music.
"Jiang Kan, indeed, he is a genius, not only in terms of singing, but also in terms of composition and piano. We are proud to have such a fellow countryman... But speaking of it, he is also the reputation of your school.
Are you a professor?"
The two chatted and started drawing lots.
Anyway, the director didn't start recording them at this time, but just filmed their drawing actions.
Therefore, the private chat between the two old men will not be heard by the audience in front of the TV. Only their mouths can be seen moving, and no one will care about these details.
"Haha, that's right. How can this institute invite such a powerful person as Jiang Kan to serve as an honorary professor... Speaking of which, you have also heard the two songs "To the First TA" and "Whispers of Autumn"
Well, how do you feel?"
"Haha, of course it is a rare and excellent piece of music. Unfortunately, he was abducted by your college. He should have been acquired by our local music college..."
While chatting with Wang Tiancheng, Vice President Zhang Guangbei took out a small ball with "Sirius Band" written on it from the box and wrote "A1" with the pen next to it, smiling brightly at the camera.
Then put it in a large transparent glass bowl with "Group A" written on the countertop.
"Haha, yes, that's logically the case, but why didn't you do this? Do you think you just debuted and your reputation is too low, so you don't like it?"
Professor Wang Tiancheng also took out a small ball with "Merlin Band" written on it from the lottery box, wrote "B1" on it, and placed it in a large transparent glass bowl with "Group B" written on the table.
"Haha, how could it be that he doesn't like him? But at that time, he didn't show any talent for piano. If he was just an ordinary singer of pop songs, would your Shanghai Music Academy like him?"
As he spoke, Vice President Zhang Guangbei took out a small ball called "Second-hand Peony", wrote "A2" on it, and placed it in bowl A.
"Of course we don't like pop singers, but shouldn't you have reacted when someone wrote "Castle in the Sky"? He was in Chengdu at the time. Don't you know that those who are near the water first get the moon?"
Professor Wang Tiancheng's expression remained unchanged, he still smiled and took out a small ball named "Sewing Machine Band", wrote "B2" on it, and placed it in bowl B.
"Haha, it's not that I haven't paid attention to this song, but some people in the courtyard think that it is a song written for Fuso Country and it is just a soundtrack for an animated movie, so it is not worthy of special attention..."
Vice President Zhang Guangbei took out a small ball named "Great Channel Band", wrote "A3" on it, and put it into the A bowl next to him.
"Haha, Fuso Country... It is true that you, Chengdu City, don't have a good impression of this country, but what does it matter? Music has no borders, and what about the soundtracks of animated movies? "Castle in the Sky" is good.
Well, you guys are still too narrow-minded!"
Professor Wang Tiancheng took out another small ball named "Megatron Band", wrote "B3" on it, and placed it in bowl B next to him.
"Oh, it's true. So later on you took the lead in contacting Jiang Kan and brought him to your place to attend the celebration party. I heard him play the song "To the First TA" on the spot. I was shocked on the spot.
Now! I was about to go and talk to him, but my host, Lao Liu, took advantage of him and recruited him..."
Zhang Guangbei shook his head, with a helpless expression on his face, picked up a small ball again, wrote the number on it and put it into the bowl.
"Haha, did the host strike first? Lao Zhang, we didn't tie your hands and feet, did you? It was you who acted too slowly. Besides, no one said that one person cannot serve as an honorary professor of two conservatories at the same time.
Why don't you invite him again now? Haha, or have you never thought of inviting him at all? How about I tell you everything?"
Wang Tiancheng took out another small ball, wrote the number on it and put it into the bowl, while chatting with Zhang Guangbei in a friendly manner.
"Oh? What did you say clearly? Why can't I understand?"
"Haha, you're still pretending, you're still pretending? Isn't that what your dean Lao Liao's great-grandson Deng Gang had with Jiang Kan last year? Hahahahaha, he gave up his fate with such a talented musician because of personal grudges.
, I think the development prospects of your college are nothing more than this!"
With a contemptuous smile, Professor Wang Tiancheng shook his head slightly and continued the drawing of lots.
Vice President Zhang Guangbei also had a look of helplessness on his face, and could not refute anything. He was just a deputy, and he must have respect for the leader. Why bother to make trouble by himself for things that no one mentioned, so he had to smile bitterly.
He kept his head down and continued to draw lots.
After all, this matter is considered an open secret in their own college. The great-grandson of the old dean was jealous of Jiang Kan’s talent and framed Jiang Kan for causing trouble. Instead, he was killed because of the solid evidence. He is still there now.
How could he possibly like Jiang Kan and invite him to become an honorary professor of his college while he was squatting and stepping on a sewing machine?
Although Deng Gang is only one of his several great-grandsons, it is enough to make people jealous and dissatisfied.
