Chapter 1162: 106 Chapter 1162: 106 Of course.

Before officially opening the song library, the training center first needs to allocate the singers into different project groups.

All singers can sing.

However, each person has a different style they are good at.

Rock and folk, a huge contrast, not to mention the distinctions among vocal parts such as middle, low, and high notes, etc.

The methods of singing fundamentally differ.

Fortunately, the past period of training has already allowed the coaching team to understand the situation of the singers, so the allocation process, under constant communication between the coaches and singers, is not troublesome.

Two days later.

Everyone was placed into competition project groups that matched their styles.

Among them, talented individuals like Fei Yang and Shu Yu, also the Kings and Queens of Singing, even signed up for four project groups.

This is the maximum number of events participants can enroll in.

At this time.

The training center then notified the remaining official contestants about the opening of the song library.

…

When they heard the announcement through the loudspeakers, the entire training center burst into exclamations!

For Maestros and Maestro-aspirants in the training center, allowing singers to blindly pick their works is a test.

For the contestants, being able to freely choose any piece from Qin Continent Maestros, their first reaction is inevitably astonishment and disbelief, followed by unexpected joy and excitement!

Is this the Blue Songlympics?

Every contestant clearly understood:

If not for the Blue Songlympics involving the honor of their continent, they would never encounter the same opportunity in their lifetimes.

However.

More than the various emotions stirring inside them, choosing their favorite songs was the most critical task at hand, especially not knowing who composed the songs, everyone had to choose repeatedly.

Inside the training center.

The singers were placed into different rooms.

Each room was equipped with a computer and headphones.

On the computer desktop, the rules stated: [The computer has logged into the Blue Songlympics Qin Continent song library; contestants can freely choose their favorite works, and the number of works available in different categories varies. Simply clicking the heart icon next to a work indicates that the contestant will participate in competing for that song, with the final result to be determined by the head coaches and master coaches.]

Yes!

Compete!

Every piece has its most suitable performer, and if a certain work is too popular, it also means that the competition for that piece is extremely fierce!

…

In the office.

Main coaching group.

Yang Zhongming stared at the computer and said, “Our computers here are connected to the internal system of the Blue Songlympics, and the backend can display the real-time download situation of each composer’s work, clearly showing which works are most favored by the contestants.”

Lin Yuan and the other nine master coaches each took their seats.

Everyone stared at the computers in front of them, their facial expressions slightly solemn.

No matter how skilled and courageous, it’s natural to feel a bit nervous at this moment.

Regarding this.

Zheng Jing laughed and said: “Our current mood is probably very similar to the contestants during the competition.”

“How refreshing.”

Lu Sheng, one of the few who was not nervous, said: “We have always been grading the singers, now it’s their turn to grade us, I think it’s quite good.”

Lin Yuan was not nervous either.

He looked at Yang Zhongming and asked: “Do we have any other tasks?”

Yang Zhongming nodded: “We should arrange these works into different tiers, with works of higher tiers being used as the repertoire for the later stages of the competition, and those of relatively lower tiers being used as entries for the earlier stages.”

This statement is understandable.

Qin Continent singers participating in the Blue Songlympics, the competition definitely involves more than one round, and what song is sung in each round is crucial, involving tactical aspects.

Saving the good songs for later is inevitable.

Otherwise, even if you advance to the final with a good song, what will you sing in the finals?

And if you don’t make it to the finals, then better works might never even have a chance to be performed.

This is the uncertainty of competition.

Just like playing cards, when to play which card is important.

Can you ensure that a certain work will definitely help you smoothly advance to the next round?

And this is also the time that tests the master coaches the most, their vision and judgment will play a significant role.

Of course.

There’s a type of card play called “Bomb,” which guarantees a win if someone catches it, and anyone with a bit of skill can wreak havoc.

“Oh.”

Lin Yuan nodded.

At that moment, Yin Dong suddenly announced, “It has started.”

…

Su Lian is an erhu performer.

She is the renowned “Queen of Erhu” from the Qin Continent!

This esteemed title was given by her peers, but it also speaks volumes about Su Lian’s capabilities, making her the seeded player in the erhu category without a doubt.

However, Su Lian was not satisfied.

She felt she theoretically could win the championship!

But Su Lian also knew that this was just theoretical speculation.

For in the Qin Continent, there were no top erhu composers to support her, even though it is home to the Qin Continent—

Maestros excel at composing.

But composition also varies in direction.

Different instruments resonate best with different compositions.

Don’t believe it? Try playing a classic erhu piece on the piano?

Even though it’s the same melody, the essence gets lost because of the fundamental differences between the instruments.

Su Lian felt helpless about this.

A skilled chef struggles without rice.

No matter how talented she was, without an excellent piece to compete, how could she clinch the championship in the erhu category?

“I can only look forward to Teacher Huang Xiao’s compositions.”

Su Lian muttered to herself. Huang Xiao was the most skilled in composing erhu pieces in the Qin Continent.

While not considered top-tier, ranking within the top five on Blue Star was no problem.

With his compositions and her own skills, Su Lian was quite confident about making it into the top three.

As for blind selection of the piece?

Not knowing the composer?

None of these posed a problem for Su Lian.

Teacher Huang Xiao’s erhu compositions were easy to recognize and didn’t even require analysis from the style of the pieces.

Just bluntly listen to them—

Out of all the erhu pieces, those of the highest quality could be assuredly identified as this Maestro’s works!

To each his own specialty.

Other Maestros’ level of erhu compositions did not quite match Teacher Huang Xiao’s, after all, erhu was among his specialties.

This mindset didn’t change even when Su Lian opened the music library.

Despite roughly thirty uncredited erhu pieces in the erhu category library.

More than she anticipated.

Su Lian put on headphones and began listening from the first piece.

These pieces did not even have titles, only content.

Within less than a third of the first piece, Su Lian sighed inwardly.

Although aware that the composer was at least at an almost-Maestro level, it was clear they hadn’t fully grasped the essence of the erhu.

Su Lian continued listening.

The second piece…

The third piece…

The fourth piece…

Su Lian listened to eight erhu pieces in a row, without finding any that caught her fancy.

Of course.

These pieces weren’t bad per se, after all, they were from Maestro’s hands, each having their merits, but considering the level of competition at the Blue Songlympics, they were somewhat lacking.

She sighed once more.

Su Lian opened the eighth piece.

Just seconds after she clicked play, she suddenly felt as if struck by something, her eyes wide open, her body almost instinctively starting to heat up—

This is…!!?
