Chapter 59: Whole School Auditions (Part 1)
"Students, let me tell you something. Starting today, the school will select members of the school's art team across the school, and every student can participate. The time is after school in the afternoon, and the location is in the league activity room of our school. Students who are interested can register. There is no restrictions, but I only require one student to participate in the selection, which cannot affect normal study. Okay, let's say so much, and the class will be over." After saying this, Mr. Du, the head teacher of Class 2 (1), Grade 2, waved his hand in a depressed manner, indicating that the students can be finished.
According to his intention, he didn't want the school to do this. Students should focus on learning. Why do you choose a literary team in school on such a large scale? Isn't it intentional to make trouble? But this was Principal Su's instructions, and he was not willing to do so, so he had to "obscurely" remind the students in the class that it's okay to participate in the selection, but it would never be possible to delay learning because of this matter.
Except for the third year of junior high school, the head teacher of every class in the school conveyed this news to the students. Compared with the head teacher's unwillingness, the students' situation is a different situation.
"Hey, everyone can go to the school. Huazi, don't you try it? I always listen to you humming songs, but our class counts your singing well. If you want to go, you will definitely be able to go."
"Jingjing, after school, we will go and see if it's good. It must be very fun."
"I must choose this art team! What song should I sing?"
...
Just like a stone thrown into the calm lake, this news immediately caused a lot of waves at Shuangshanzi Middle School. Every student talked about this unusual selection with relish. In the past, the members of the art team were designated by the music teacher and said they would go whoever they wanted to go, but this time it was different. Everyone can participate in it. Fair competition. I heard that there was a freshman who could play the piano in the first grade of the judges, and it was interesting to think about it.
As a result, as soon as school was over, the group activity room turned into a huge magnet, attracting students to watch one after another.
Liu Jianjun and Peng Lin also had a headache when they looked at the students who were densely surrounded by the door, especially Liu Jianjun, glared at his son helplessly and thought to himself: "This kid is just going to cause trouble!"
Unlike the two adults who looked worried, Liu Yufan's expression was very relaxed. Seeing that more and more people outside the door gathered, he bent down and took out a cardboard box from the drawer of a desk, which contained a bunch of small notes he had prepared long ago.
Liu Yufan opened the door of the activity room and saw the students who surrounded the three floors of the inner and the outer floors. He raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.
Don't say it, this move really works. Maybe it's because of being curious about Liu Yufan's identity, or maybe it's because of curiosity about what he will say next. Anyway, Liu Yufan waved his hand so lightly, and the dozens of people around the outside suddenly became quiet. Even the person who could not see Liu Yufan's action behind him stopped talking when he heard the person in front of him quieted down.
"This kid is quite capable. He just waved his hand and rectified the discipline. When did these students become so obedient?" Obviously, Liu Yufan's move not only calmed the students down, but also "shocked" the two adults behind him.
"Thank you for your cooperation, and thank you for your active participation in this audition. I believe that the students standing here are all students who like literature and performances. First of all, I want to rest assured that the rehearsal of the art team will never affect everyone's normal study. They only rehearse for half an hour after school every day, and there will never be an extra fee for everyone."
Liu Yufan's voice was not loud, but because the scene was very quiet and he knew how to pronounce it, the sound resonance was very good and confident, so even the students in the back row could hear it very clearly. When they heard Liu Yufan's words, those students who were already a little hesitant in their hearts were relieved.
"Okay, our selection will begin soon. In order to ensure order, the students participating in the selection will decide the order of starting. Our audition lasts for three days and 30 places are distributed every day. The signing number is in the small box in my hand. Please come to me to pick up the sign." Liu Yufan said, holding up the small box in his hand.
However, although there are many people watching the fun, when it comes to lottery, everyone hesitates and refuses to step forward. Some people want to draw lots, but are afraid of others making jokes. Some people keep instigating others to step forward, but they keep shrinking backwards.
Seeing everyone's performance, Liu Yufan was not in a hurry. The first thing to do in literature and art is to have good psychological quality. If you don't even have the courage to draw small things like lottery, Liu Yufan doesn't need such a team member.
Sure enough, after just watching for a while, someone started to try.
"I'll come first!" Guo Qi from Class 2 (3) came forward and reached out to take a paper sign from the small box in Liu Yufan's hand. He was not here to watch the fun, but he liked to sing. This time he came to join the art team. Seeing that others refused to come up, Guo Qi was too lazy to wait, so he grabbed one. The other was tall and had a loud voice. Taking the lead in this way, everyone's emotions were aroused.
"Let's go, Jingjing, let's go together!" Two girls who were about the same height and had a quiet look on their faces also walked out of the crowd and drew two numbers from the box in Liu Yufan's hand one after another.
If someone takes the lead, things will be easier. Those who really want to join the art team all draw numbers one by one, and soon, the box in Liu Yufan's hand became empty.
"Okay, I know there are definitely many students who want to participate, but due to time limit, we can only select 30 people every day. It is too late for everyone to go back. So that's it. The 30 students who just got the number, please first look at the sequence number in your hands. We will select in a group of ten people. Now, please come in from No. 1 to No. 10, and the other 20 students and others, please wait outside the activity room. Also, please cooperate with us and keep quiet. Thank you!" Liu Yufan finished his words in an orderly manner, pushed open the goal and brought the top ten students participating in the selection.
Looking at Liu Yufan's performance just now, the two adults were once again surprised, especially Liu Jianjun. Seeing Liu Yufan walking into the classroom with a team of students steadily, he took a look, as if he wanted to confirm whether the child standing in front of him was his son.
If Liu Yufan is more literary and artistic, Liu Jianjun can still accept it. After all, this child has loved singing since he was a child and often performed on stage in school or town. Now he has been studying with Jiang Ya for such a while. But the organizational ability shown by Liu Yufan just now surprised him. No one taught him that he could organize more than 100 people in such an orderly manner in a short period of time. This is not like something that a junior high school student can do. Could it be that his son is really a genius?
Liu Yufan didn't care what his father was thinking. Seeing his students standing in a row and looking at him curiously, Liu Yufan smiled and briefly introduced the rules to them.
"Okay, let me briefly tell you, everyone has one minute to briefly introduce their name and class, and then sing a self-selected song. During the singing process, the three of us judges can stop at any time and give the result. Each of us has such a brand in our hands." Liu Yufan said, raising a cardboard in his hand, signaling everyone, and continuing, "Green means passing, red means not. Each of you can pass more than two green brands, you can pass the selection. Of course, passing the selection does not mean becoming a formal player. There is also a knockout round. However, if any student can directly get three green brands, you can directly become a member. Everyone will hear it clearly." Liu Yufan asked with a smile.
"I heard it clearly." Everyone thought it was fun, and each face showed a look of nervousness and expectation.
"After every student's singing, we will give a brief comment. Okay, the selection has officially begun, No. 1." Liu Yufan started calling the number.
Guo Jingjing came to the three of them nervously, with her hands tightly pressed against the trouser thread, and her eyes only looked at Liu Yufan and then threw them on the floor.
"Hello teacher, I am Guo Jingjing from Class 2 (2). The song I want to sing is "Waiting for a Thousand Years""
"Student Guo, it's okay, relax." Liu Yufan smiled and comforted.
"Yeah." Guo Jingjing nodded, but obviously she did not relieve much of her tension because of Liu Yufan's words.
"The world is long, passers-by are in a hurry..." Guo Jingjing's tune was very low, probably because she was afraid that she could not sing it, but because she was too low, it seemed a bit stressful and the sound was obviously not available.
"The world is rolling, the love is deep..." When it comes to the chorus, Guo Jingjing obviously let go a little, but her voice is still a little trembling. And during the singing process, her eyes are always staring at the floor in front of her.
Liu Yufan sighed in his heart. These students really have no stage experience, so first of all, it is difficult to pass the psychological quality level. I guess many of these people are like Guo Jingjing. Training their self-confidence and improving their stage performance requires Liu Yufan to make a lot of efforts.
But to be honest, Guo Jingjing's sound is still OK. Although this song is not expressive, it has not been out of tune. This is also something that Liu Yufan is more satisfied with. If it were really not complete, Liu Yufan would have called it off long ago.
"Okay, let's sing here." Liu Yufan waved his hand and said it was OK, then looked at his father and Teacher Peng. Seeing that the two of them nodded, they raised the sign in their hands.
Three green cards, pass directly.
"Oh!" The moment he saw the green sign, Guo Jingjing couldn't help but cheer, and even the students who were watching the fun outside started to cheer.
"Jingjing, you are so awesome!" Guo Jingjing's best friend Li Jianfang quietly gave her a thumbs up.
"Okay, Guo Jingjing, let me briefly talk about it. Your pronunciation is fine, but I'm just a little nervous. Of course, I believe that with the training, it will get better slowly. Congratulations!" Liu Yufan said a few briefly and stopped talking about it. For such a big voice, it's no different to ask for trouble now. The reason why he also showed off the green card is because Liu Yufan knew that he couldn't ask too much. If he had to attack people too much, no one would be willing to come. As for the other two adults, because their appreciation level was on the same level as these students, Peng Lin was at best, so they were satisfied with Guo Jingjing's performance.
"Next." Liu Yufan wrote down Guo Jingjing's name and class, and then continued to shout.
