FYN Chapter 5: Extremely High Score, Advancement to the Finals
Chapter 5: Extremely High Score, Advancement to the Finals
Liu Lu came to Lin Hanjiang's side.
"Hanjiang, your performance is over. As the last contestant to perform in the folk singing category tonight, and the final performer, did you feel a lot of pressure?"
Lin Hanjiang adjusted his breathing slightly, also thinking a little about how to speak, after all, he didn't want to say the wrong thing in such a big occasion.
"There is definitely pressure. Teacher Liu Lu, as you saw, all the contestants who went on stage before me were exceptionally talented and performed outstandingly. Especially my fellow students."
He nodded politely to the senior students below the stage.
"Their performance touched me deeply and made me truly feel the weight of the words 'immense pressure.' Why are we fighting each other so fiercely?"
His words drew a few good-natured chuckles from the audience and judges, slightly easing the tense atmosphere.
Liu Lu smiled and asked, "Han Jiang is quite humorous. It's clear you're well-prepared. So, are you confident about the scoring and your singing ability? You know, there are only five spots in the finals; it's a ten-to-five competition, extremely fierce. Are you sure you can score high enough to get into the top five and secure a ticket to the finals?"
Lin Hanjiang's gaze swept over the judges' panel, who were engrossed in scoring.
A smile, tinged with youthful vigor, appeared on his lips as he said firmly, "Yes. Actually, my teacher gave me a firm order before I came."
He paused, then mimicked Jin Tielin's usual stern tone perfectly, saying, "Kid, when you get there, do your best. If you don't get a decent ranking, don't even think about getting into the school, let alone being my student!"
This friendly banter brought a knowing smile to some of the judges familiar with Jin Tielin's style.
Even Li Guyi, who was contemplating her score, subtly twitched the corner of her mouth.
"Oh?"
Liu Lu's eyes lit up, and she pressed on, "So, your teacher wants you to aim for the highest podium? Your goal is the gold medal?"
"certainly!"
Lin Hanjiang answered without the slightest hesitation.
"Now that we're on this stage, we have only one goal! We must win the gold medal!"
These words were spoken with such conviction that, combined with his stunning performance, no one found them arrogant; instead, they felt a surge of fighting spirit.
A few scattered claps of applause came from the audience.
The professional singers who had just taken the stage also smiled and applauded.
Everyone's here for the gold medal, so we're usually polite and modest.
I didn't expect Lin Hanjiang to be so straightforward in saying it.
Actually, you don't need to be so tactful; what's there to be afraid of offending people?
After all, going on stage means competition. Whether you're a senior or a junior, this is a competition, and there's only one gold medal!
Liu Lu was also infected by this momentum, and her tone became even more excited: "What ambition! So now, the highest score on the field is 9.399, achieved by another outstanding player. Han Jiang, tell me, are you confident that you can surpass this score?"
The camera zoomed in for a close-up, and Lin Hanjiang's face appeared clearly on the screen in the center of the stage.
His young face showed no arrogance or anxiety, only confidence.
Lin Hanjiang looked at the camera and clearly uttered three words:
"I have confidence!"
"good!"
Liu Lu turned to face the audience and judges.
"Now, let's all look forward to how the judges will score Han Jiang's wonderful performance tonight! Will he be able to advance to the finals and surpass his current high score?"
"After GG, the exciting reveal awaits!"
This is a pre-recorded video, so of course there won't be a GG (Goblin) error.
During editing, suspense is created by adding cliffhangers.
It's also a scene that makes the audience's hearts ache, and only when they finish watching GG (Goblin) does GG have value.
The most adept at creating suspense in later generations was Hunan TV, with their "I Am a Singer" competition, which always kept things in suspense.
Although the script was heavily criticized by the audience, they were afraid of missing out, so they could only watch it fail.
The edited video will have a paused "GG" message, but there is no pause during the actual event.
At this moment, the background screen in the center of the stage lights up, displaying the scores from the 12 judges.
In 1992, this electronic screen that displayed judges' scores in real time was still a very high-tech device that attracted everyone's attention.
"Welcome back, everyone. The scores from both the professional judges and the audience have now been entered into the system for contestant Lin Hanjiang."
Liu Lu's voice has a captivating rhythm.
"Let's first look at the scores given by the seven teachers on the professional judging panel."
The screen flickered, and the scores from the seven professional judges appeared one by one: 9.98, 9.80, 9.75, 9.70, 9.68, 9.60, 9.50.
"Wow!"
A low murmur rippled through the audience.
9.98!
Nearly perfect!
This extremely high score clearly comes from overwhelming approval.
Some sharp-eyed viewers had already spotted Li Guyi on the judges' panel.
That was the highest score she gave.
"According to the rules, the highest score of 9.98 and the lowest score of 9.50 are removed. The effective average score from the professional judging panel is..."
After a brief pause, numbers appeared on the screen.
"Professional judges' score: 9.706 points!"
Applause erupted!
This is already an extremely high professional score!
"Next up are the five judges from the audience panel," Liu Lu continued to guide them.
The scores from the public judges are: 9.99, 9.85, 9.80, 9.75, and 9.62.
"After removing the highest score of 9.99 and the lowest score of 9.62, the effective average score from the audience jury is 9.800!"
Higher score!
The audience judges were clearly deeply moved by the song, giving it a near-perfect score!
The atmosphere at the scene had become frenzied.
Zhang was also in the audience, looking at the scores, and felt they were somewhat exaggerated.
This score is higher than any of her previous singing scores.
They were even questioning whether they should continue helping their junior trainees practice so they could compete in the finals.
She seems to be much worse than her junior brother...
Both professional and public judges gave it such high praise.
Lin Hanjiang was also a little surprised, but changing this song was the right thing to do!
"According to the scoring rules of the CCTV Young Singers Competition, the scores from professional judges account for 80%, and the scores from the public judges account for 20%. Now, the final scores..."
Liu Lu continued reading.
The stage lights were all focused on the pulsating screen.
A string of numbers is quickly calculated, then the image freezes.
Total Score: 9.725 points!
Quiet.
Then came a deafening roar, like a volcanic eruption!
"9.725 points! My goodness!"
"That's 0.326 points higher than the previous 9.399, that's a huge advantage."
"Complete domination! This is an absolute advantage for advancement!"
"Well deserved, the song 'The Story of Spring' deserves this score."
The audience erupted in cheers, with many spontaneously standing up to applaud.
Give a warm shout of encouragement to the young man who stood straight in the center of the stage.
Many newspaper and television staff members at the scene also stood up, taking photos and videos to record this historic moment.
The 5th CCTV Young Singers Television Grand Prix, semi-finals of the folk singing professional group.
An unknown student achieved an almost terrifyingly high score with an original folk song called "The Story of Spring".
