Chapter 10 Vocal Examination

"Very good," the middle-aged examiner also nodded slightly, "It's rare for young people to be able to write such beautiful calligraphy now, and you can perform live to the teachers in the talent show of the three tests, which should add a lot of points." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but the premise is that you have to pass today's second test and enter the third test. Now, please get back to the team, and now we will move on to the second vocal exam. ”

"First place, Lu Dechang!" The middle-aged examiner saw Xiao Yao returning to the team, so he called out the first candidate again, but when he read this name, his brows wrinkled unconsciously. Like Xiao Yao's amazing performance in the first round of exams, this first candidate to appear also impressed the middle-aged examiner.

Fortunately, after such a period of rest, Lu Dechang has adjusted his mentality and played a lot more normally. The chosen pop song can't be said to be very brilliant, but at least it can be considered decent, not as miserable as the lines in the first round, which are completely unwatchable.

However, in the second round, Lu Dechang still did not finish the performance. After the singing of his first title song, the slightly chubby female teacher who had discussed Xiao Yao's poem with Mr. Li, who was in charge of examining the lines, shouted to stop, scratched the registration form in her hand, and said sideways to the middle-aged examiner: "Teacher He, let's be next." ”

"Okay," the middle-aged examiner known as Teacher He nodded, and also took a pen and scratched the registration form in front of him, and then turned to the next one, "Next, Zhou Meng!"

The next few candidates basically failed to finish singing their songs. I feel that I sang a little better, that is, let the examiners and teachers listen to the first main song and the first chorus. The second is just a chance to perform the main song. Some even didn't finish the first main song, but were stopped by the female examiner after a few sentences. On the whole, Lu Dechang, who played miserably in the first round, was not satisfactory in the second round.

Soon, the exams of the first nine candidates in the second round were over, and the middle-aged examiner surnamed He called Xiao Yao's name again.

"Hello teachers, the song I want to sing is..."Xiao Yao stepped forward and bowed to the examiners again, and began to introduce the song he wanted to sing.

"Wait," the chubby female examiner interrupted Xiao Yao's words with a wave of her hand, and said to Xiao Yao with a smile, "I've heard the album of you, the nominee for the "Golden Disc" Award for Best New Singer, and the vocal aspect is your strong point. To be honest, with me, your vocal music can already be passed without testing. ”

"Wow! can you still be exempted from the exam?!" Several other candidates next to him shouted in surprise when they heard the words of the female examiner. But think about it, Xiao Yao has not only released albums, but also participated in TV shows in singing competitions, and even sang publicly in the square on the side of the road. In addition to his musical creative talent, his singing skills have long been proven and recognized.

"Teacher Wei, this is not suitable, our Shenju Performance Department has never had a precedent of being exempted from passing the exam, even if he is a singer who has won an award, he has to complete the live vocal exam. The middle-aged examiner surnamed He said dissatisfiedly to the chubby female examiner next to him.

"Yes, Mr. Wei, this is not in line with the exam rules of our Shenju. The other two teachers also helped.

"You guys listened to me finish talking, I didn't really say that he was exempted from the test. The chubby teacher Wei smiled.

Then, Teacher Wei said to Xiao Yao: "But the exam is the exam." As you can see, even if I want you to be exempted from the exam, the other teachers won't agree. So, not only will I not give you an exemption from the exam, but because you are a professional, I will add some difficulty to you. ”

"Increasing the difficulty?" The group of other candidates below were dumbfounded. "Why do you feel like the teachers are starting to target Xiao Yao?"

"How do you increase the difficulty?" Xiao Yao said calmly as he looked at Teacher Wei.

"Other people's vocal exams are self-selected songs, and you, I'm going to add some restrictions to you, that is, I'm going to give you propositions!" Teacher Wei smiled, "Of course, I don't meet the exam rules, and it's not fair to you." You can say no or sing the song you originally prepared. How about it? ”

"Then ask the teacher to propose. Xiao Yao said with a smile. Although this Teacher Wei's performance was very unreasonable, from her slightly smiling eyes, Xiao Yao knew that even if he sang badly, his vocal performance should not be a big problem. Since this teacher wants to play tricks, he can simply play with him.

This time, several teachers did not express any more objections, obviously agreeing with this Teacher Wei's approach to raising the difficulty of Xiao Yao. After all, he is a professional singer, and it is not impossible to be more demanding, but it is a big deal to properly consider the difficulty factor when grading.

"I heard that every time you sing on TV, you will use your own original songs, and even show affection with your girlfriend on the street is with original new songs?"

"I didn't do it on purpose, but it seems to be the case. Xiao Yao thought for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, although our exam today is not a TV show, it is also a special occasion, since you are going to sing here, then please continue to maintain this characteristic of yours. Teacher Wei said, "So my condition is that you have to sing an original new song that we haven't heard before." ”

"No problem!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile. The song he was going to sing before was originally a new song that had never appeared in this world.

"I promised so quickly, it seems that there is a lot of stock. is worthy of being the winner of the best creative newcomer of "Golden Disc". Teacher Wei smiled, "But this is only my first condition, and there is a second condition." ”

"Teacher, please speak. Xiao Yao stretched out his hand and said.

"Wait," Mr. Li, who was in charge of the lines, suddenly interjected, "Mr. Wei, you stopped shouting so fast just now, wouldn't it be just to save time and embarrass Xiao Yao at the last moment?"

"Can't you?" Teacher Wei said disapprerovingly, "Although it is intentional to save some time, but with my ears, I can judge their vocal level when they sing three sentences." Most of them have been patiently listened to the whole paragraph, and I have already given these children a lot of face, and I will never make judgments that do not match their actual performance. ”

"Okay, you are a professional in vocal music, and Teacher He can't compare to you, you continue. That Teacher Li folded his hands and retreated.

"Well, the second condition comes from your album that is so miscellaneous that it doesn't have any style to speak of. Teacher Wei said, "It seems that your style just doesn't have a style, and you can control any type of song." Then I'll give you a genre, and you have to sing the original new song that I gave you a genre. With these two conditions, you should still have a certain choice. ”

"Good. Xiao Yao replied simply and simply, "Then ask the teacher to specify the type." However, I should be prepared in advance that I have limited accompaniment music, and if it happens to be a song type without accompaniment, then I can only sing a cappella, and the effect may be worse. ”

"Actually, a cappella is better. Teacher Wei smiled, "But I don't have to require this." ”

"Why don't you just sing folk songs," the teacher Li suggested, "His 'Those Flowers' and 'About the Present and About the Future' are very good folk songs, so let him do another one, which is just right for his current age and the environment of the campus we are in now." ”

"Let's have a faster song, preferably with hip-hop rap. The slender female examiner also suggested, "The kind of "Flower Field Wrong" and "Dude" are very good. ”

"My favorite thing is opera, but it's too embarrassing. Teacher Wei smiled, "I actually planned to let him sing rock 'n' roll." ”

"Opera?" When he heard these two words, Xiao Yao's head began to sweat, but fortunately, Mr. Wei himself gave it a no. As for singing rock 'n' roll, it doesn't matter.

"I like to listen to the theatre. The examiner, Teacher He, suddenly looked at Teacher Wei and said, "Isn't it too embarrassing to ask him to sing Peking Opera?"

"Huh? Teacher Wei said with a slight surprise, "But it doesn't seem appropriate to sing Peking Opera." ”

"Okay, then let's have a song like "The New Concubine is Drunk", half Peking Opera singing, half pop singing, okay?"

"Who am I listening to?" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "You won't let me sing four songs at once, will you?"

"It's not impossible, but I'm afraid I won't have enough time for the exam. Xiao Yao continued, "There are still two rounds of exams ahead." ”

"Yo, it seems that this little guy is really amazing. Teacher Li pointed at Xiao Yao and said.

"If it weren't for the lack of time, I would have really wanted to hear him sing four songs. Teacher Wei also said, "Since you are so powerful, then let's listen to Mr. He, he is the chief examiner, and the type he chooses is also the most difficult, let me see if he really has a song like "The New Lady is Drunk". ”

"Yes, there is. Xiao Yao smiled, "And I even did a good accompaniment." As he spoke, Xiao Yao took out a USB flash drive and connected it to the audio equipment on the side.

"The title of this song is called "One Night in Yanjing". Xiao Yao smiled, "By the way, in fact, what I was planning to sing at the beginning happened to be this song." ”

"Ah, with all these conditions and restrictions I just mentioned, it's all a waste of saliva!" Mr. Wei rolled his eyes helplessly in anger.

The sound of prelude music came from the stereo, and everyone at the scene also quieted down and looked at Xiao Yao who was standing in front of several examiners and teachers.

"OneNightIn Yanjing, I left a lot of love..."Different from the feminine and gentle pop singing at the beginning of "The New Concubine is Drunk", the first few sentences of Xiao Yao's song are not only tougher, but also have some opera flavor in the singing at the beginning.

Several teachers agreed that the type ordered by Mr. He was more eager to listen to the Tsing Yi-like Peking Opera singing, although there was some opera flavor in the opening part, but they felt that it was closer to the singing style of pop songs. If the flavor of Beijing rhyme in this song is just that, several teachers can't help but feel a little disappointed. But fortunately, after the first few sentences, the Tsing Yi-like Beijing rhyme that everyone was looking forward to appeared.

"People say that in the depths of a hundred flowers, there lives an old lover, sewing embroidered shoes..."As soon as Xiao Yao's shrill voice came out, a group of people at the scene unconsciously got goosebumps. After the song "The New Concubine is Drunk", Xiao Yao did not give up the practice of Peking Opera singing. After such a long time of training, Xiao Yao has a better grasp of the singing voice of Tsing Yi in this Peking Opera. The transition between this rugged rock voice and Tsing Yi's Peking Opera singing voice is also more comfortable.

"Damn! I feel better than him singing the song "The New Concubine is Drunk"!" Some of the candidates on the side couldn't help but sigh and discuss.

"This song is a combination of rock and Peking opera, and the gap between the two styles and voices is even bigger and more difficult than in that song "The New Concubine is Drunk". ”

Even in the exam room, I feel like I'm listening to a concert. I used to feel that I sang well, but after listening to Xiao Yao's this... I suddenly thanked the teachers for putting Xiao Yao last, if I listen to his song and sing it again, I'm afraid I won't even be able to open my mouth. ”

"He's so good, what kind of drama school is he going to, how good it is to go directly to the conservatory!

For such a song, several examiners and teachers were all sung by Xiao Yao and closed their eyes, unconsciously holding their hands and gently beating the beat, while shaking their heads slightly, no one must have shouted to stop suddenly like the previous nine candidates.

In this regard, the candidates who were also shocked by this song also took it for granted, and looked at Xiao Yao on the field fixedly, like the examiners and teachers, who wanted to listen to the whole song.

"Oh~~~! I've been waiting for a thousand years, why hasn't the city gate been opened!" Xiao Yao sang in a rough rock voice.

"Wow~~~Ah, I've been waiting for a thousand years, why doesn't my lover come back~" Xiao Yao immediately changed to Tsing Yi's sharp Peking Opera accent.

Everyone thinks that it is obviously a song, but Xiao Yao sings a feeling of male and female duet.

"Think of your heart, think of your face,

I want to hold you in my chest, and I can't let it go~"

At the end of the song, Xiao Yao ended with a long tail note in the Tsing Yi Peking Opera accent, ending the whole song.

Xiao Yao's arrangement and soundtrack are basically the version of the previous Shixin Orchestra, but considering that this is an exam and not a live band performance after all, the repetition of "OneNightIn Beijing" accompanied by intense rock music at the end of the original version was omitted, and a relatively less intense ending was made.

As Xiao Yao's last last note disappeared, the accompanying music also stopped, and the whole song ended completely.

"Bang bang!" Teacher Wei, Teacher Li, and the slender female teacher in the examiner's seat, as well as the teaching assistant behind them and the other candidates on the side, couldn't help but applaud.

The examiner, Mr. He, also nodded with satisfaction, and praised with a smile: "Good singing!"

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao took a long breath, then smiled and bowed to several teachers in thanks.
