Chapter 85 Pear Garden New Voices Online Music Competition
Although "New Voices of the Pear Garden" is just an amateur online music competition, the contestants who successfully entered the preliminary rounds are all extraordinary individuals.
I heard from the mountain spirit that several exceptionally strong "monster" contestants have arrived.
Monsters? Monsters are great, that's exactly what we need!
On the day of the audition, Bai Li sat in front of the computer early with a fruit platter, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
The order of appearance for the contestants in this competition will be randomly shuffled by the system, with a tentative 60 spots for advancement. The power to decide who advances is firmly in Bai Li's hands.
In this competition, she was everything; she held the fate of all the contestants in her hands.
All the contestants lined up in the competition's dedicated channel, ready and waiting for Bai Li to begin the selection process.
The first contestant gave Bai Li an unexpected surprise.
This boy named Xiaoyu sang a popular folk song while playing the guitar. His voice was clean and gentle, and he sounded a bit immature.
Contestants are allowed to choose whether or not to turn on their cameras to show their image, or to remain mysterious.
The boy on the screen looked young, clutching a guitar tightly in his arms, his slender fingers gently plucking the strings, his face still carrying a touch of naivety and purity untouched by the world.
Her clear voice blends with simple guitar chords, creating a rustic yet story-filled sound that is truly moving.
The auditions were broadcast live, and the grand event attracted not only singers but also a large number of onlookers.
In an instant, a dense barrage of comments scrolled across the screen like snowflakes:
"Wow, this guy's voice is so clear! It must be a voice kissed by an angel! I love it!"
"What's going on? Why do I feel a strange mix of emotions when I listen to him sing? It's both sad and warm, like I've suddenly returned to those bygone days of my youth."
"Amazing! In this restless world, to hear such pure singing is truly remarkable."
—"The song touched my heart, let's light a cigarette together."
There are many people in this world with excellent singing skills, but very few can sing songs that truly touch people's hearts.
Bai Li's eyes were full of appreciation and affirmation, and she immediately decided to let Xiao Yu advance directly.
However, after Xiaoyu passed the audition, some "knowledgeable" voices suddenly appeared in the live chat, questioning his abilities and disrupting the previously harmonious atmosphere:
"Seriously? While his performance did have a great atmosphere, to be fair, his singing skills are just average, far from being amazing. He's advancing directly like this? What about the other contestants? Shouldn't they at least be put on hold for a while, and then we'll compare them more comprehensively?"
"—Exactly, I think it's strange too. Who are these judges? They don't seem professional at all. They played several wrong notes on the guitar just now, how did they get to advance?"
"Only one judge? That's so unreliable! Maybe there's something fishy going on with this judge!"
Bai Li immediately saw these comments. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes. She wasn't going to tolerate it and responded without hesitation:
"I am the organizer of this competition, so I have the final say. If I say a contestant can advance, then he or she can advance."
“If you’re capable, you can organize your own competition and decide who advances. But with me, things have to be done my way.”
"As for those who question my professionalism, I don't think I ever said this was a professional competition, did I? If you want to see professional content, go somewhere else. I don't cater to that here."
"Alright, let's continue the game."
Bai Li's response instantly sparked a new wave of comments:
"That response was so bold! So unique! I love it, I love CEO Bai's personality!"
"Ahhh! Day and Night Entertainment is awesome!! Boss Bai is awesome!!! Shut up, Brother Dong! Some people just can't stand to see others do well and have to find fault. Boss Bai, don't pay attention to them, we support you!"
"There must be someone who doesn't know that the huge prize pool of nearly 1 million yuan for this competition was all funded by President Bai himself. Since he has the courage to hold the competition, he naturally has the right to decide which contestants stay and which go."
It was just a minor incident and didn't affect Bai Li's mood while listening to the song.
As the mountain spirit said, this competition truly brought together all sorts of "monsters" from all corners of the world.
Some contestants were very cautious and chose to participate under pseudonyms, without using their real names or turning on their cameras, but their singing skills were outstanding.
Bai Li couldn't help but wonder if they were actually "national team" level experts who were just hiding their identities to gain experience here.
Some contestants were not simple, even after they only said one sentence. Bai Li knew from her keen musical intuition that they were not ordinary.
His speech was steady and powerful, full of energy, and truly captivating.
Sure enough, when they started singing, their magnificent high notes and superb technique were like an auditory feast, a treat for everyone's ears, and the live chat exploded with comments.
"—National Team! The big shots are here to swarm the fish! This is a game-changer!"
"This is really amazing! The singing skills and technique are simply unbeatable! I listened to it on my knees."
—"My skull exploded!!! This is the best performance of the night!"
Coloratura, dolphin voice, bel canto... a variety of challenging singing techniques were showcased one after another, and the gathering of top talents made this already highly anticipated amateur online music competition even more popular.
The live stream's popularity soared, directly taking the top spot on the popularity chart that night.
As the competition continued, players of various styles took turns on stage.
Without restrictions on competition rules, many unexpected surprises will emerge.
A beautiful woman in exquisite period costume, with exquisite makeup, passionately performs opera singing;
The "Flash," adorned with electronic devices and exuding a high-tech aura, pierced eardrums and ignited the atmosphere to a boiling point upon his entrance.
There was also an old man singing rural rap in a unique dialect. His simple lyrics and sincere emotions almost brought the whole audience to tears. It turns out that rap can be more than just diss; it can also be a love for life and a longing for one's hometown. Every word seemed to grow out of the soil, full of vitality.
……
Surprises kept coming one after another, and everyone put their skills in the bag to use.
Of course, there are also some who take a different approach and choose to curry favor with Bai Li, after all, Bai Li is the one who holds the only Book of Life and Death.
While everyone else was focused on showcasing their singing skills, one particularly clever person took a different approach and chose to please Bai Li with an adapted song.
He boldly and innovatively rewrote the lyrics to the well-known song "Your Highness":
"My dear Princess Bai Bai~ please listen to me obediently~"
I'm willing to protect you by my side; I'm willing to radiate light and warmth for you.
I'll do my best not to make you sad~ I'll cooperate with any of your requests~
His voice may not have been the best of the night, but he sang with extreme flattery, every rhyme sweet.
And it just so happened that the song really touched the heart of "Princess Bai Bai".
Bai Li slightly raised the corners of her mouth, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes, as she carefully examined the contestant.
She discovered that this contestant not only sang well, but was also very good-looking. With some grooming, makeup, and cosmetic procedures, she might be able to reach the standard of 80 points.
So, Bai Li waved his hand and announced that he would advance directly! 100 points!
"The way he rearranged the song was amazing. I have a feeling there will be a lot of contestants like him in the future," someone joked in the live chat.
As expected, just as the commenters predicted, with this contestant's brilliant idea, several other "brilliant" individuals emerged who tried to replicate his success.
Unfortunately, the later attempts were merely poor imitations; the adaptations were too far-fetched, stiff, and unnatural, failing to capture the essence of the story. Moreover, they were unattractive and did not win Bai Li's heart again.
Just when everyone thought this path was blocked, a contestant who sang freestyle suddenly emerged.
Admittedly, changing words can demonstrate creativity, but how can it compare to freestyle improvisation?
This guy who sang freestyle was not only quick-witted and able to interact with the comments in real time, but he also subtly flattered Bai Li from time to time, bringing the art of language to its extreme and instantly igniting the atmosphere in the live stream.
When his magnetic voice sang, "My darling, are you there!"
In an instant, the comments section was flooded with "Yes~".
The text scrolls across the screen, all neatly arranged.
"After I finish singing this song, I'll take you home and let you sit on my sofa with me." He tilted his head slightly, his voice carrying a hint of ambiguity, as if he were having a private conversation with each audience member.
The audience was very cooperative, responding enthusiastically and in perfect unison with "Yes~".
Bai Li sat in front of the screen, almost dying of laughter from the comments section.
At this point, the song reached a new climax, and the freestyle singer sang a part that required interaction:
"If I could make one wish, I would wish that all girls would call me 'husband'!"
Viewers, both male and female, flooded the screen with the word "husband".
Nearly 200,000 viewers simultaneously spammed "husband," creating a truly spectacular scene.
In an instant, the screen was filled with countless "husbands".
Bai Li couldn't help but join the teachers in the comments section, calling him "husband."
It was simply the atmosphere that made it impossible for me to contain my emotions.
She felt a little embarrassed after shouting, and turned to ask Xiaohao how many points this contestant's looks would get.
The player was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, revealing only a pair of strikingly beautiful eyes.
Although he looks quite handsome, with eyes that seem to speak volumes, he might actually be a "masked assassin."
Xiao Hao gave an affirmative answer: "Found an 88 out of 100 female."
Upon hearing this answer, Bai Li's heart stirred slightly, and she immediately announced Bai Li's advancement without hesitation.
"Bai Zong is definitely judging by looks, but this contestant is indeed quite talented; the atmosphere and interactivity of the freestyle are amazing!"
"Ahhh! Sly! But I like it, haha!"
"Looking forward to my husband's amazing performance in the later matches!"
--------------------------------------
In this world, some people are happy, and some are sad.
A white-haired man silently shattered at that moment.
Even after being reminded by the comments that this was a normal interaction during the song, Ying Xiangyang was still somewhat dazed and couldn't believe it.
This can't be a white pear, right?
They just happen to have the same name and the same voice.
Seeing that Ying Xiangyang had quit the game, his roommate, riding the gaming roller skates Ying Xiangyang had ordered for the entire dorm, strode over and, seeing the content on the screen, asked curiously:
"Yang-ge, you're watching this competition too? My junior from elementary school recommended it to me."
Ying Xiangyang turned his head and asked, "Is this competition very famous?"
My roommate explained, "No, it's not that. It's just that the prize money is outrageous, so it's been getting a lot of buzz lately. I heard the first prize is 500 million."
Another roommate chimed in with gossip: "And it's funded entirely by the organizer, with entertainment day and night, it's that place..."
With his roommates offering their enthusiastic explanations, Ying Xiangyang finally learned everything.
Entertainment day and night...
White pear...
Ying Xiangyang was extremely confused at this moment. Which Bai Li was the real Bai Li: the Bai Li in his memory, the Bai Li now, and the Bai Li he learned about from his roommate?
Ying Xiangyang's fingers unconsciously tightened.
They're all white pears...
Whether it's the one in his memory or the one now, it's all Bai Li...
The current Bai Li is completely different from what he imagined and remembered. He has transformed into the boss of an entertainment company, controlling the dreams and destinies of countless people on that stage full of fame, fortune, and noise.
She must have gotten the love she wanted and lived a very comfortable life.
That's why he was so generous in ordering for himself before. Even though he deliberately set his own price for playing games to 20 per hour, Bai Li seemed to have no problem with it at all.
Upon learning of Bai Li's recent situation and knowing that she was doing well, he was genuinely happy for her.
But why did he also feel a slight, vague unease in his heart?
Why is that?
Perhaps Bai Li was not quite what he had imagined.
Time changes a lot, and haven't we changed a lot too?
He likes white pears, a fact proven by time, and it won't change easily.
"Yang-ge, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly not talking?"
His roommate's voice pulled him back from his thoughts.
Ying Xiangyang shook his head: "It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things from the past."
He looked at the screen again; the game was still going on, but his gaze wandered once more.
Seeing that Ying Xiangyang had fallen silent again, his roommates stopped bothering him.
At this moment, Ying Xiangyang kept thinking about whether he should contact Bai Li and make his feelings clear.
Or perhaps, we should just let the past go with the wind and wish each other well.
Finally, he took a deep breath, as if he had made a major decision.
