Chapter 37: Teamwork is to Know How to Sacrifice for Each Other (2/2)
"Tang Wenfei, Yang Ruoyi......" On the first floor of the hotel, in a small multi-purpose hall, Yang Ruoyi and the others met the vocal teacher arranged for them by the program team, a slightly chubby female teacher wearing a bright yellow floral skirt, she sat in front of an electric piano, flipped through the information given to her by the program team, and looked at the evaluation of these two students.
Actually, Yang Ruoyi and the others wanted to go to the dance teacher to give some advice first, but there were too many people in the fitness room where the dance teacher was, so they had to come to the vocal teacher who didn't have to queue up first.
The two girls were both big girls who got on the sedan chair, one was more restrained than the other, especially when they saw that there was a photographer and a camera in the multi-purpose hall, not to mention Tang Wenfei, even Yang Ruoyi was so nervous that she tied her hands and stood straight!
"Yang Ruoyi, when you auditioned, you got a high evaluation, in the vocal part. The teacher raised her head and looked at Yang Ruoyi, who looked a little cute and harmless to some animals, and then she smiled and stretched out her hand to swing, "Don't be so nervous, the teacher won't eat people, or you can take a chair next to you and sit down?"
The two girls obediently complied, and the vocal teacher looked at their cautious movements, and sat down with a little trepidation, and she lowered her head again and glanced at the data sheet.
Sure enough, only sixteen years old, no wonder he is so shy!
"Let me introduce myself to you, my name is Zou Junping, I am from the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music, and I am currently in charge of your vocal guidance. Zou Junping's face is a little big, but her facial features are more iconic, and she still feels very comfortable when she laughs!
"Hello Teacher Zou!" Yang Ruoyi and Tang Wenfei were really well-behaved, and they invariably greeted the teacher again.
"Okay, let's get down to business now, what song are you going to choose now?" Zou Junping smiled.
Yang Ruoyi introduced her to their current song selection.
"Flying to a Happy Place", "Torment", ...... These two songs, how to put it, are more popular. In fact, when competing in competitions, I would always advise students not to pick some songs with a high degree of popularity when choosing songs. Because there are so many people who sing, it's hard for you to sing tricks. And there will also be a situation where as long as you don't sing well, this shortcoming will be magnified, because everyone is familiar with it!" Zou Junping said with a smile.
"Of course, this is just advice, and you still have to choose according to your own characteristics and your proficiency in songs. She paused, probably realizing that learning a new song might be a bit challenging for the two sixteen-year-old girls at this stage, so she changed her mouth and said in a tactful tone, "As far as I know, you only have three or four days left to prepare for your first stage, and time is running out." ”
After listening to the teacher, Yang Ruoyi and Tang Wenfei couldn't help but secretly pinched each other's hands under the table, and they could feel that their palms were a little sweaty because of nervousness.
Zou Junping has not yet given an opinion on the choice of songs, she first found the score on the tablet, played the accompaniment on the spot, and asked the two girls to take turns singing the two songs they chose.
When listening to Yang Ruoyi singing, she still nodded slightly, but when she listened to Tang Wenfei singing, her head didn't move, and her eyes were slightly solemn.
"Tang Wenfei, you can sing this song "Flying to a Happy Place" and try it. Zou Junping called Tang Wenfei's name again.
Tang Wenfei didn't expect that she would be called again, she was so panicked that she even sang the first sentence wrong!
After singing wrong, the girl became more and more embarrassed, and she stood there at a loss, not knowing whether to continue singing or stop and accept the teacher's criticism......
Yang Ruoyi secretly pulled her hand, trying to comfort her little friend.
Fortunately, Zou Junping also stopped, and she persuaded in a warm voice: "It's okay, let's do it again! However, if you encounter such a situation in the future, especially on the stage, no matter what is wrong, you have to continue to perform, you know? This is a singer should have professional qualities." It's okay, take your time. ”
Under the persuasion of the teacher, Tang Wenfei relaxed a little, her eyes were red just now and the golden beans did not fall, she plucked up the courage and sang again.
In fact, these two songs, whether it is Yang Ruoyi or Tang Wenfei, because they have practiced together before, they are more familiar with them - at least in terms of singing.
After Tang Wenfei finished singing, Zou Junping had a preliminary judgment.
However, she was not in a hurry to say it, but asked Yang Ruoyi to stand up and sing "Torment" instead of Tang Wenfei.
After Yang Ruoyi finished singing, Zou Junping put her fingers on her thighs and tapped gently, thinking about something with some complexity in her eyes. But she didn't speak, Yang Ruoyi and Tang Wenfei didn't know what to do, and they didn't dare to say anything, for fear of interrupting the teacher's thoughts, so they could only stand there and look at each other.
After a while, Zou Junping made up her mind, and she said: ""Flying to a Happy Place" is Yang Ruoyi's favorite song, right?"
Yang Ruoyi was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded.
"But this song is not very suitable for you, on the contrary, the song "Torment" is more suitable for you, and then "Flying to a Happy Place" is more suitable for Tang Wenfei. Zou Junping said slowly, "Why do you say that?"
yes, why do you say that?
Both girls were dazed.
"It's not that Yang Ruoyi can't sing well, on the contrary, you sing both songs very well, no wonder during the audition, Mr. He Shu spoke so highly of your vocal level! But I think your voice is more suitable for "Torment", and you can sing the chorus here in "Torment" with a few relatively high notes, I can say perfect! So if you choose the song "Torment", I believe it can give full play to your vocal ability!" Zou Junping also gave Yang Ruoyi a high evaluation.
So is the teacher going to recommend them to choose "Torment"?
Not!
"But I still recommend you to choose the song "Flying to a Happy Place", because Tang Wenfei, in fact, it is more inappropriate for you to choose the song "Torment", your voice is sweeter, singing a sweet song like "Flying to a Happy Place" will have a bonus, you sing it yourself, don't you think it sounds a lot better?" Zou Junping said with a smile.
In fact, Yang Ruoyi and Tang Wenfei's song selection did not go through such complicated considerations before, they simply chose the songs they liked to sing. Relatively speaking, Tang Wenfei, who is usually bored and likes to think about things in his heart, prefers songs like "Torment" that describe more complex emotions.
But now that the teacher flicked it lightly, their thoughts suddenly opened up, and they all nodded in understanding.
"The reason why I recommend you to choose "Flying to a Happy Place" is that there are dance reasons, and I will specifically guide you to find Teacher Xiao Fang at the gym, she is more professional. I will give you an analysis based on your characteristics, because of dance, Tang Wenfei is relatively basic, you just said yourself, Tang Wenfei has practiced Latin dance since he was a child, and then I see that the judges' evaluation of your dance is still very good. But Yang Ruoyi needs to practice more, if you are asked to practice a new dance in three or four days, it is estimated that it will be more difficult, this "Flying to a Happy Place", you have already learned, and you can practice cooperation for the rest!"
Zou Junping obviously hopes that they will sacrifice a little for each other in terms of song selection, and not pursue the best performance of the individual, but the best development of the team.
After all, the pursuit of this show is a girl group, not the strongest individual!
The teacher spoke very reasonably, Yang Ruoyi listened carefully and nodded hurriedly. Tang Wenfei didn't have any opinions, she just listened quietly, and subconsciously didn't think that she would make this final decision.
"Of course, the parts you are good at are not to be buried, there is also a separate display link on the first stage, you can prepare a show of your own, such as Tang Wenfei, you prepare a Latin dance, and then Yang Ruoyi, you prepare a song that can show your strength. Zou Junping smiled, "If you prepare, those mentors may not call you at that time, but if you don't prepare, if you have the opportunity to show, you won't be able to catch it!"
"So, teacher, what kind of songs should we choose for our performance when we show them alone?Can you give us some advice?" Yang Ruoyi felt that this teacher was still very level, and she was happy to teach them, so she continued to ask Teacher Zou for advice in the same way that she used to chase the teacher after class and ask questions.
"I'm not very familiar with dance, this Tang Wenfei can consult Teacher Xiaofang about the song selection of your talent show later. Yang Ruoyi's words, do you know what kind of range your vocal range is?" Zou Junping still turned her eyes to Yang Ruoyi, whom she admired the most.
However, what is the vocal range? Yang Ruoyi had only seen the relevant professional terms on TV, and she herself didn't understand anything about it, so she could only look at Teacher Zou blankly, not knowing how to answer.
"Okay, let's give it a try, I'll play, you sing along with me, okay? See where you can go as low as you can and as high as you can. In fact, there is no need to teach so carefully, but Zou Junping saw Yang Ruoyi, who had such a good voice texture and could sing high notes with ease, she had a feeling of joy when she saw the hunt, and she was willing to spend a little more time on Yang Ruoyi.
