Initially, the Subtitles didn't last too long. Soon, in a dark Environment, four Red, strangely shaped Lights lit up.
At the same time, blue Radiance was cast from Above. The Scene composed of Red, black, and blue gave a big Visual Impact.
"The more I look, the more it looks like a Movie," Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but Say Again.
Chi Feichei was Aside and Didn't Say Anything.
This Situation is imitating 'The Voice'.
Compared to this period, the Opening Scene where the Host and Guest sit on the Sofa and Greet, this kind of Opening is undoubtedly more attractive to the Line of Sight.
At the same time, he also brought over the setting of 'back facing the Singer'.
The entire Program, Initially, people from all walks of life go On Stage to sing, and Afterwards, after a Judge Turns Around, they can Decide whether to stay or refuse to participate in the Competition.
After All, some people Just want to show off a bit, or Think singing is Good, go join the Excitement, and don't actually want to be a Singer. For Example, Chi Feichei, to increase the Program's Entertainment, invited Elementary School Teacher Sumiko Kobayashi and Traffic Department's Miyamoto Yumi to make guest appearances...
And the people who Choose to stay join the Team of the four Judges. After receiving Guidance from the Judges, they continue the subsequent Competition. The Anger between the four Judges vying for people is also a highlight.
Most of those who Choose to stay want to pursue their Singer Dream. It was Odagiri Toshiya who Contacted major Platforms and Recommended them.
Before, they were all Ordinary Persons with Nothing Popularity Foundation. If they Perform well On the Program, they can improve some Fame.
Finally, those who entered the Top Eight get 1 million Japanese Yen each; Afterwards, those who entered the Top Four also get 3 million to 8 million Japanese Yen Cash Reward, and a THK Company Contract with pretty Good Salary, they can Choose whether to sign or not.
Additionally, those who Perform excellently and have potential can all Choose to sign with THK Company.
Signing won't wait until the Program finishes airing. Midway, someone will Contact Suitable Singers.
This Is digging up Singers for their Own Company.
On Television, After the Opening Initially, it's the Monologue of the four Judges, plus some Personal Introduction and Performance Clip.
One of them is Reiko Akiba, a Female Vocalist with Absolute Pitch. A character who appeared in the Movie "Full Score of Fear", she's also overpowered. In the Movie, she walked down the Staircase while singing, her Voice didn't tremble, her Aura was Stable, and she Directly suppressed the Female Singer who was singing On Stage.
After signing, Chi Feichei went to the Company to hear Reiko Akiba sing a couple of lines. The penetrative power of that Voice was even more shocking than watching the Movie in his previous life.
Absolutely a Hall-of-Fame Vocalist!
Yes, saying 'Singer' is inappropriate. That is a Vocalist.
Kazuo Fujimaru, a Genius Composer and Pianist.
Chi Feichei doesn't quite Understand this person. He Should be a character who appeared in a Special Episode, mainly brought in to discover Composing Talent.
The other two, one is also a Hall-of-Fame Veteran Vocalist, and one is a singer-songwriter Big Shot.
From the beginning of the introduction, Suzuki Sonoko's exclamations haven't stopped.
"So Intense!"
"That person is the Singer my Father liked when he was young, right? I always hear him talking about it, hey!"
"Mr. Fujimaru is so young, oh. So Many Melodies I heard Previously were all made by him. I Previously never Noticed!"
"The Accompaniment is the New Teito Orchestra, yeah! That's too exaggerated!"
Chi Feichei: "..."
Even an Apple couldn't block Sonoko's Mouth!
"Wow, so Intense!" Suzuki Sonoko heard Reiko Akiba's singing clip, looked at the various International Awards introductions, and continued to be excited. "Although I can't Say it, Just listening to the Singing Voice makes me Think it's not Ordinary, yeah! Miss Akiba looks so young and has such Temperament. She Actually won So Many International Awards, is it Real?"
"They are all Real, oh," Conan Already used his Mobile Phone to go online and verified the Data of the four people once. He, is a serious Fact-Checker. "This Program is really Diligent."
"Compared to some Idol Stars, they instead don't really accept Outside World Interviews. They focus on improving Oneself and singing, So their Reputation isn't very big, But every single one is International Level," Chi Feichei Said.
From the beginning of making the Program, he never Intended to do it perfunctorily.
Although he didn't really Care about the Matter, he Required every Judge to be a Talented Group Musician, and must be able to bear the Identity of 'Judge'. After All, it's the Company's First Variety Show, and it's this kind of Novel Idea. If it's not a Masterpiece, he'll chop up Odagiri Toshiya!
"Compared to, I am more Expecting the four Judges to compete On Stage together," Haibara Ai was also Interested, rarely saying a pile of Good Words. "But, the Judges are facing away from the Contestants, only using Sound to make a Judgment, completely eliminating the Impact of all First Visual Impression. This Rule is also quite Expecting."
"But if they are to be Judges, won't the Requirements be a little too High?" Mouri Ran gave a dry laugh. "Even If it's not me going On Stage, Just Thinking about being Commented on by them makes me Feel very Tension."
"Mental Fortitude is also a Part of the Test. If you Feel Tension even when facing the Audience, it Indicate that this Singer is not Mature enough," Chi Feichei Said. "Moreover, the Judges are more Tension than them."
"Hey?" Mouri Ran was surprised.
"The other three are Okay. Akiba herself is not very Be Good At interacting with Human. Initially, she kept finding Reasons to decline and refused to be a Judge," Chi Feichei paused. "She Said that this kind of Program is a waste of her Time, and she also has no Interest in Guidance and judging a Group of Rookies."
"Ah?" Suzuki Sonoko was Stunned. "No way?"
"Actually, she was Worrying about accidentally speaking Excessively and Injuring Others," Chi Feichei Said.
Suzuki Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother Hichiji, don't speak in such a way that Tests people's Hearts. I am now super fond of Miss Akiba!"
"Then how did you persuade her?" Conan asked Curiously. "Will you give her the Script?"
"There is a Portion, But the Real Reason is, I told her," Chi Feichei was Staring at the Television. "Everyone's Musicality needs to be improved."
"Huh?" Conan had Black Lines on his Forehead. "Is This Is saying that We don't Understand Music?"
"Do you Understand?" Chi Feichei's Tone was Calm. "Do you Know what Aura is? Do you Know what Timbre is? Do you Know what The Voice is?"
Conan: "..."
He... really doesn't quite Understand.
Asking a Tone-Deaf Person this Question is Excessive, ah...
"Many people also Don't Know," Chi Feichei continued to Say. "They don't need to Understand too much. As Long As they Understand the Probably, that is the improvement of Comprehensive Music Literacy. Even, As Long As everyone Just knows how to simply appreciate and Discern is enough."
Mouri Ran laughed. "I Understood. Brother Hichiji is really Diligent. Learning to appreciate Beauty is also a kind of Growth for the Audience. Learning to appreciate Beautiful Singing Voice is the Same."
"I didn't Think that well," Chi Feichei explained in a Calmness Voice. "One is to make Masterpieces and improve the Company's Reputation. Another is that Toshiya told me that Initially, when the Company signed people, there were two Fellows who clearly had Nothing Standard in singing, relied on Showboating to become popular, and even put on a Framework in front of him."
"There are still such people, ah," Suzuki Sonoko Thought for a moment. Okay, she watches Entertainment Report, and such people Really exist. "What Relationship does this have with this Program?"
He wasn't referring to Yoko Okino.
Yoko Okino sings very Stable. As a Singer, she is absolutely qualified. Kuraki Mai is the Same. They are both Professional. Even Kuraki Mai is currently undergoing deeper Level Study and has never relaxed.
But some Singers Really make him unable to stand it. They sing even worse than Odagiri Toshiya...
Cough, Actually, Odagiri Toshiya is not a Rookie either. After All, he has sung Rock and Roll for many years. As Long As he doesn't put in some Weird screams, and sings seriously, he can't compare to Reiko Akiba's Standard, But he is definitely a Talented Group.
Haibara Ai Understood. "If the Public hears Good Singing Voice themselves, and then goes to listen to that kind of Song with constant Cracked Note and Out of Tune, they won't be able to listen anymore, right?"
Chi Feichei Nodded his Head, Indicate that Haibara Ai's Conjecture is Correct. "Even If the True Fans of those Inferior Goods can listen to it, at least they won't have the Face to go around saying 'My Idol sings super well', deceiving those who don't Understand, and Really Thinking that Cracked Note is some high-class Feature.
I am not a Singer, I don't play Music, I am Just a Merchant who wants to make Money. Initially, when the Company signed people, some Fellows Indeed had no idea. Whether they came or not is one Matter, But putting on airs in front of Toshiya, Thinking they could fool everyone by relying on a Framework, then don't blame me for cutting off those people's Way Out."
Conan gave a dry laugh. He Already saw through Chi Feichei long ago. This is definitely a Petty person, and also a Schemer who digs Pitfalls and Bury People without leaving a Trace. But he is also Really Good enough to his Friends. He Guesses that after hearing that Odagiri Toshiya was angered, Chi Feichei Didn't Say Anything, But kept Suppressing it in his Heart, just waiting for this Play...
"Ah! It's all your fault for talking, it Already started!" Suzuki Sonoko became anxious.
"Nothing," Chi Feichei Said. "Before, it was Just the Host reading the THK Company Advertisement twice. Afterwards, in the next few episodes, we will find Sponsors to Help with Advertisements, and then the Judges will appear."
"Then we also Missed their appearance, ah," Suzuki Sonoko Said seriously. "Okay, no one is allowed to talk anymore!"
Chi Feichei: "..."
Initially, it was Just Suzuki Sonoko who was talking non-stop, right?
No one talked anymore, concentrating on Staring at the Television.
Just Now talking Indeed delayed quite a bit of Time. The Monologue of the First Contestant who appeared On Stage was already more than halfway through.
An Ordinary Boy with a Plain Appearance, attending University. As soon as he appeared On Stage and started singing, he gave people a Feeling of suddenly brightening up. His Singing Voice was so outstanding that it was completely different from his Appearance, naturally carrying a strong International Style.
Chi Feichei Got Up, went to the Refrigerator Oneself to find Beer, and By the Way poured Juice for the Others, placing it in front of the two Girls and two Kids.
No one talked. The Interaction among the Judges Afterwards was also very interesting. They were all watching very attentively.
He also couldn't bear to Say that Actually, some Parts were Pre-arranged. When recording, it wasn't necessarily just one take, and there was also Editing...
As Long As everyone watches Happily is fine.
Towards the end of the Interaction, Mori Kogoro returned. He opened the Door and came in. "You are Already watching, ah?"
"Father, you're back," Mouri Ran Said, although she was Greeting, her Line of Sight Still remained On the Television.
Mori Kogoro was depressed. He Turned Head to Look Towards the Television, and happened to See
the Monologue of the second person. It was a Chef, a Greasy Fat Uncle...
Looking Again at Mouri Ran and the Others who were concentrating, Mori Kogoro became even more depressed. He put his Coat Aside, walked forward Speechless, and sat down On the Sofa beside Chi Feichei. "What kind of people did your Program choose, ah? So Weird."
Chi Feichei Helped Mori Kogoro pour a cup of Beer. "Teacher, don't Judge by Appearance."
Mori Kogoro choked. Was he being Admonished by his Disciple Kuroki Jiro?
Never Mind. For the Sake of this cup of Beer, he won't Bother.
Drinking Liquor while watching Television, it was simply Very Satisfied. This Disciple Kuroki Jiro Understands him too well!
On Television, the Chef Already started singing.
Hearing the Deep and Forceful, Vicissitudes of Life, yet Clear and Stable Singing Voice, Mori Kogoro almost Spit out the Beer he Just Now drank. He raised his Head Astonished, joining the Team of people concentrating on Staring at the Television.
Recommendation: "Watching the World in High School", Conan Fan Fiction. Mainly Daily Routine + Case. The Style is relatively Leisurely and Relaxation. The Protagonist is Spectator Style.
Author's words: Early Stage had some Harmless Problems, But the Progress is still very Obvious, Especially the Recent Plot is all quite Good~
PS: The author is a Chef.
(Actually, Toshiya's Taste is Good when teased)
