Chapter 547: Singer-Songwriter (6000)
In the studio, she couldn't feel the weather outside, but Jiang Qi felt that she could still hear the rain outside.
The sound of rain comes from the heart.
Jiang Qi knew that he was nervous.
As she sat alone, looking at the other seven empty single sofas that were as quiet as a museum collection, she couldn't help but be nervous.
"Singer-Songwriter" is to original music, which is equivalent to "Singer" to covers, which is the benchmark. Regardless of the popularity, there are two brushes in the professional field, and here, the volume depends on the strength.
Since the development of music, a variety of different styles of music have been derived, even if it is rock, there are [psychedelic rock], [heavy metal rock], [jazz rock] ...... There are hundreds of them. It is said that different styles of music cannot be distinguished from good and bad, which is true, but "Singer-Songwriter" is to put musicians of different styles on one occasion for one-on-one competition and duel. It doesn't matter if the music is good or bad, but the musicians are strong or weak. This is a more brutal place than the stage of "The Singer".
When he learned from his agent that he had won the first seat of "Singer-Songwriter", Jiang Qi shook his head again and again, almost pushed the announcement, and did not dare to come for a while.
The reason why I didn't dare to come was because I was still in awe of music and had self-knowledge. Although she was admitted to the composition department of the [Modu Conservatory of Music] the year before last and was once labeled as a talented girl, since she entered the [Jupiter Girl], I dare not say that the taste has been consumed in one fast-selling song after another, but the time for practice and creation has indeed been greatly reduced.
The musicians who are qualified to participate in "Singer-Songwriter" have at least fought in the music market for a few years, have a few of their own works, and have a bunch of their own music fans. And she, as for her, there is nothing yet.
She knew she wasn't supposed to come, but she came anyway.
What really made Jiang Qi determined to participate in the competition was not the company's reassuring sentence "show your face, even if you have a round of tours, you will earn it", but the news that Han Jue also participated in "Singer-Songwriter".
As one of the world's top music schools, anyone who can get into the school can be called a genius. Jiang Qi participated in "Creation 909" as a student of [Magic Sound], which once caused controversy. Many people don't understand her, they just think that she is willing to fall, that she can't bear the hardships of creation, and wants to take shortcuts.
At that time, Jiang Qi was under a lot of pressure, and she didn't understand what was wrong with chasing what she liked, and she didn't hurt anyone, why did she scold her.
But when she saw the news one day, she realized that her pressure was really small compared to a person.
Han Jue planned to write and direct the movie himself, but the situation at that time was not only dissuaded by 10,000 people, but ridiculed by 10,000 people.
However, in the face of people's ridicule and ridicule, Han Jue did not pay attention to it. Well, if you don't let me do it, I'm going to do it, not only will I do it, but I'm going to use your doubts as inspiration to write a song and make money with this song.
"The Sound Of Silence" accompanied Jiang Qi through that period of not being understood. Later, Jiang Qi resolutely went to the end and debuted as [Jupiter Girl], and at the same time, he did not fall behind in his major and was still studying.
Jiang Qi still cares about other people's eyes, but she learns from Han Jue and tries not to care too much. The word-of-mouth reversal of "Time and Space Traveler" slapped thousands of people in the face, which made Jiang Qi understand the joy of tearing off the label, and she also wanted to be as chic as Han Jue.
She listened to Han Jue's songs, paid attention to Han Jue's dynamics, watched Han Jue's programs, became friends with Han Jue's friend, Weng Yao, and read Han Jue's books...... The more she understands Han Jue, the more she can't stop digging treasures, and the more she understands how much the world misunderstands Han Jue.
Han Jue's wanton pursuit of life, his pursuit of self, and his genius in many fields all made Jiang Qi not only worship but also worship.
Even if you are an idol artist, you will have your own idols.
Han Jue became Jiang Qi's idol.
Hearing that Han Jue participated in "Singer-Songwriter", Jiang Qi was very happy, not only has good songs to listen to, but also can follow the steps of idols and get close to them.
Jiang Qi's way of chasing stars is to go to the VIP seat to listen to the scene...... No, it's to compete with idols!
"Hello. A man's voice brought Jiang Qi back to his senses.
Jiang Qi looked at it and recognized the other party.
The man in front of him has a delicate face, wears a black knitted hat, wears gold-rimmed glasses, and has a quiet temperament. He is an independent musician who is quite famous in the field of folk songs, not only singing himself, but also writing songs for others. I've never been on a variety show before, and this may be the first time. Jiang Qi didn't expect him to appear, so he was shocked.
"Hello. Jiang Qi stood up and said hello.
The knitted hat put a smile on it, and when the other party came in, he looked at the remaining seven sofas and began to pick them out.
Jiang Qi was the first to come, sitting on one of the two deepest sofas in the room, the farthest from the door.
The knitted hat hesitated for a while, and finally picked the diagonal position farthest away from Jiang Qi. The knitted hat didn't seem to recognize Jiang Qi, and after saying hello, he didn't speak, but looked around the room.
The room was very empty, with eight dark single sofas, four or four pairs, representing the eight participating musicians. Now there are two sitting, and there are six left. The room was surrounded by musical instruments against the wall, and the overhead light was not very bright. A large piece of transparent glass is embedded in one wall, and across from the glass is a small, airtight room with a microphone standing in the middle. It is a recording studio familiar to musicians.
Except for the sponsored drinks on the coffee table, everything is exactly the same as in previous seasons.
The knitted hat looked around the room, and then played with his fingers and began to be in a daze, so that Jiang Qi, who had the heart to chat, could only swallow the words back.
The dreary atmosphere didn't change from one person to two people in the room.
[I'm a little sorry, I didn't recognize the other party, and it didn't seem polite to ask her who she was, so I didn't talk to her...... It feels like she's an idol. The knitted hat later depicted the mental activity at that time in the small dark room.
The third man arrived shortly after the arrival of the knitted hat.
This person has a flat hairstyle, looks fierce and difficult to mess with, but talks a lot, as soon as he enters the house, he greedily looks at the room, touches the musical instruments, touches the stereo, and sighs.
Before taking a seat, he first looked at the camera, then looked at the light, and analyzed it carefully, "Sitting here is the most photogenic", and then sat down on the sofa next to the knitted hat.
Soon, three more singers came in one after another. One sings lyrical, one raps, and one rocks. are all singer-songwriters who have achieved good results in recent years.
Everyone has either heard the name or heard the work to each other, saying to each other "I have admired the name for a long time", "I am your fan", "I am your fan", but the atmosphere is still not warm, and there is a sense of embarrassment everywhere.
This is the scene of the competitive stage, which makes the visitors nervous, everyone faces musical instruments and computers all day long on weekdays, and they have no experience in variety shows, and the first meeting makes them enthusiastic and really can't do it all at once.
Except for the inch.
I don't know if the program team took into account the character of the inch head when they invited it. Inch head chats with knitted hats about travel, chats with rappers about fashion brands, chats with rock singers about guitars, is very busy and courtesan, so that most of the material in the program team will be all waste.
But no one spoke to Jiang Qi. For Jiang Qi, everyone's mental activity at this time is [I don't know who she is], [I don't know why she came, isn't she an idol?].
Jiang Qi sat alone in the corner, although he probably knew what kind of sight he would get before he came, but being mentally prepared did not mean that he would not be uncomfortable at this time.
While everyone was talking, the door opened.
All eyes looked at the door, and then fell silent. Until half a minute after the man sat down on the sofa, no one spoke.
............ Little Black House............
[Of course I know him, I've been following him for a long time, and I've been exposed to a variety of styles of music, and the quality is very high, it's really amazing.] I can say that his main target is him. I will have a thrill to defeat such a genius. ใ
Knitted Hat: [I haven't met, but I've always known how good he is.] Yinzi (Song Yin) heard his work appreciation meeting, and said that there are several songs that are really good, but it's a pity that he is too lazy to release them. I don't think all inspiration falls from the sky, but is the result of long-term judgment and thinking. There are no shortcuts to that process. I came this time to see what was going on in that folder. ใ
Rapper: [He's a legend in our rap world, not the kind he says himselfโa legend he's heard and never seen, it's a real legend.] He doesn't mix in circles, doesn't compete, and directly starts a sect with his works. I'd love to play with him and if I win against him, I feel like I'm going to improve a lot. ใ
Rock singer: [Now everyone in the circle is talking about it, among musicians of the same age, he carries the banner. I'm not convinced by this statement. What?he's thirty years old?Then it's none of my business, hahahaha~]
Lyric singer: [Really handsome......]
..................
There were still two empty sofas in the room.
Before coming, Xiao Zhou had talked about the layout of the room and what the next process would be like, so after Han Jue entered the house, he picked one of the two sofas and walked straight to sit down.
To his left is a plainly dressed man, and on his right is a little girl who looks and dresses sweetly. The little girl was looking at him without blinking.
"I'm not late, am I?" asked Han Jue.
The little girl shook her head quickly, then stared at him without speaking.
Even if Han Jue glanced away, she was still staring.
"Teacher Han!" The little girl suddenly looked down and stretched out her hands to shake hands with her subordinates.
Han Jue thought about it, and when he stood up, he planned to change his position.
Jiang Qi immediately grabbed Han Jue's hand and retained: "Teacher Han! Teacher Han, please stay!"
Han Jue sat back in his seat, but only half of his butt was on the sofa.
Jiang Qi leaned over, trying not to look like a fanatical fan, otherwise Han Juetie, who was ready to leave the sofa at any time, would definitely change positions. She whispered and gushed about how much she liked Han Jue's work. I like the simplicity of "We Will Rock You", the Zen lyrics and gorgeous arrangement of "Open to Tu Tu", and the groundbreaking rap rhyme of "In the Name of the Father", among which I like "The Sound Of Silence" the most.
"This song has been with me through a very difficult time!"
Jiang Qi said that Han Jue is not only her idol in music, but even more so in her life.
She and Han Jue hid in the corner and chatted warmly, which was diametrically opposed to the other people's schedules. Before, people chatted without her, but now it seems that she chats with Han Jue without them.
Jiang Qi said about those difficult days, "At that time, Teacher Gu Fan also encouraged me, saying that he had also experienced online violence, and this kind of thing could only be overcome by himself." โ
"Do you know Gu Fan?" Han Jue heard a familiar name.
"I know!" Jiang Qi said that she came out of "Creation 909", and Teacher Gu Fan took good care of her. She hesitated for a moment and decided not to tell the fact that she was Weng Yao's good friend.
Han Jue nodded, sat back reassuringly, rested his arms on the armrests, and sank into the sofa steadily.
"I think you're very chic, and I hope to be like you in the future. Jiang Qi said.
"In fact, those people who abused you and Gu Fan online were also very chic. โ
Jiang Qi was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that she was disgusted by Han Jue, but she felt that Han Jue's words were not so simple, pondered for a while, high-fived her fist, and suddenly realized: "I understand! Teacher Han, you mean, it is also a kind of chic to be brave enough to say what you want to say!"
"No," Han Jue said decisively, "I mean, their ancestors evolved intelligence and eventually passed it on to him, but he chose not to." What could be more chic?"
Jiang Qi was intoxicated. She thinks that an idol is worthy of being an idol, even if it is mean, it is really handsome.
In the general awkward and lively chat atmosphere, they ushered in the last singer-songwriter.
It's a woman with a guitar on her back who looks ordinary but has a powerful aura.
Everyone present opened their mouths slightly in amazement to show their respect, because they really didn't expect this one to come.
Han Jue didn't open his mouth or stare.
"Wow~~ The female demon kings are here!" Jiang Qi turned her head and saw Han Jue's expressionless face, just staring at someone's guitar, feeling a little strange, but she suddenly thought of a possibility, and hurriedly whispered: "You don't know her?"
Han Jue was silent. Silence is the best answer.
In order to avoid ambiguity and appear too pretentious, Han Jue replied in a low voice: "I may have heard her songs." When I listen to songs, I swipe according to the nomination list, only play songs, and when I hear good songs, I will write down the singer's voice and song, but not the singer's name. โ
What else can Jiang Qi say? I can only say that idols are different from ordinary people even in the way they listen to songs, they are so handsome!
When a total of eight singer-songwriters with three women and five men arrive, the next stage of the show will begin.
The ninth to enter the room was the host.
"It's a nice atmosphere. "The host is a young singer who has met with some of the musicians in the room on other occasions.
"I don't know if you all know each other, so I'll tell you all about it. The host began to introduce the knitted hat closest to the door.
Some awards or achievements will also be released during the introduction, so that the audience and other players have an intuitive idea of strength.
For example, the knitted hat is, "This ...... nominated for Best Folk Song at last year's [Golden Melody Awards]"
When the inch head was introduced, "Dominate the [Billboard] Champion Single for Four Weeks......"
Introducing the female demon king, "Will you do the lyrics, music, arrangement, recording, and mixing this time?"
Others are not familiar with the [Golden Melody Awards], but they have also won several championships.
While listening, Han Jue sighed that these young people were really powerful. At the same time, I also felt a little anticipation in my heart. It's a pleasure to be able to compete with a master. Whether it was on "I AM A SINGER" or "Extreme Concert" before, it was a little bit less interesting. Now the atmosphere of this competition made Han Jue start to be a little excited.
When Han Jue was introduced, the host smiled directly and said, "I don't need to introduce this person", but the others just smiled and acquiesced to this statement.
But the host still politely introduced, "With an all-English album, it has historically topped the [Fengyun Chart] album list, and the Chinese songs created are also the top regulars of the singles chart......"
"Jiang Qi is a member of [Jupiter Girl]......" the host said this, and laughed silently with his nose.
โ...... is also the top student of [Demon Sound]. However, this sentence made everyone put away their contempt for Jiang Qi.
If she was a little transparent who was ignored before, then Jiang Qi is now a good show. Everyone looked at her with playful eyes of "Let's see what you are capable of", as if as long as she showed a little flaw, then everyone would tear her apart mercilessly.
Jiang Qi's body trembled slightly. In addition to her, she is all champion-level singer-songwriters on the [Billboard], and several of them are nominees and winners of the [Golden Melody Award], and the pressure on her heart is unprecedented.
"Just play well, even if you are eliminated, it will be worth it. Han Jue asked her.
"You're right! I can compete with everyone on the same stage is a kind of growth in itself, as long as I show myself with all my strength, even if I am eliminated, it will be worth it!"
"No," Han Jue shook his head decisively, "You saw me today and talked to me for so long, so it's not in vain for you to come here." โ
"......" Jiang Qi was stunned, and gave a thumbs up tremblingly, wanting to say that she was worthy of being her idol......
Without waiting for Jiang Qi's brain to restart, Han Jue smiled, "Just kidding." โ
"Comparing idols to others is the best way to pay tribute to idols," Han Jue said seriously, "I'm waiting for you to knock me out." โ
Jiang Qi covered her heart with her hands, felt the gradually soothing beating in her chest, and then looked at Han Jue's smile, she sincerely felt that her idol was Han Jue, which was really good.
"So you're going to have to hold on to the end. Han Jue's subtext is that he will definitely be able to stick to the back of the show.
The rules introduced by the host next are not much different from the rules that Xiao Zhou gave Han Jue tutoring.
"Singer-Songwriter" is divided into the first half of the season and the second half of the season, corresponding to two venues respectively. The rules of the first half of the season are similar to those of "Singer", with elimination and filling. Most of the singer-songwriters who participated in the first half of the competition were singer-songwriters who have been more active in recent years, who are younger and less qualified. In the first half of the season, eight can only go into three to the second half of the season. In the second half of the season, there are still eight participating singers, but the difference is that the five new singers who compete on the same stage are all veteran singer-songwriters with long qualifications and profound skills.
"Next, let's start the [sample listening] session. โ
With a wave of the host's hand, the recording studio behind him lit up.
"So who comes first?" The host doesn't specify who comes first, so the singer-songwriters decide for themselves.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, you look at it for a while, and they all have their own considerations.
"I'll do it first. The Witch picked up her guitar and strode to the door. I went out and entered the studio through the outside passage.
Standing in the middle of the studio, the color of the surrounding walls changed to bright yellow.
Except for Han Jue, everyone knows that the color of this wall is one person, one color, eight people, and eight colors.
There is no hard and fast rule that singers should sing a few words in the [Sample Mutual Listening] link, and even some singer-songwriters in the past used [Lalala] instead in order to hide their strength, and some completely used a set of fake lyrics to confuse everyone, and the means were varied.
The female demon king has little singing qualifications, but she has rich experience in the industry. Before playing and singing as a singer-songwriter, she has been a behind-the-scenes creator for ten years and has collaborated with countless celebrities. Ten years of accumulation, qualifications, connections, experience, and talent, at the age of 31, she finally turned behind the scenes. The reason why she is called the female demon king is because in the [Extreme Concert] three years ago, she made a melody humming with her mouth into the final finished product little by little, and all the processes from beginning to end were completely done by herself, and the song was very good, and she won the first place that year.
As soon as the female demon king spoke, Han Jue remembered that he had heard the female demon king's voice.
Han Jue clearly knew that he was relying on the acquired learning, and then digested all the treasures of his previous life, so he reluctantly became a half-baked all-rounder, and the female demon king was a real all-rounder.
The female demon king played and sang six lyrics by herself, only for a minute, and then stopped singing. The sample only revealed the tip of the iceberg, but it was enough for everyone present to sigh involuntarily. It is the emotion of ignoring the hostile relationship and only feeling the beauty of music.
After listening to the sample of the female demon king, Han Jue was still unsatisfied and couldn't wait to listen to the full version.
The female demon king came out of the recording studio, and everyone greeted her with applause.
Then everyone took turns going into the studio.
Han Jue sat in his position, and kept remembering the timbre when he brushed the music of this world in his memory, corresponding to the singers in front of him, some of them corresponded, and some of them did not.
After Jiang Qi came out of the recording studio tremblingly, only Han Jue was the one who didn't sing the sample.
If everyone is looking at Jiang Qi is looking at a piece of meat at their fingertips, then when they look at Han Jue, it is like looking at an excellent whetstone, or stepping stone.
Han Jue stood up, moved his fingers, and slowly walked into the recording studio under the gaze of everyone.
"I also play and sing to myself. โ
Han Jue said, walked into the recording studio, and put his hand on the keys of the electronic keyboard.
Around the recording studio, there are walls that change colors to dark blue.
