Chapter 455: Star Advisor
As soon as Lu Qingsong returned to China, he was called by Cao Wu.
The process of The Voice has entered the stage of mentor assessment, and the fourteen players in the mentor team need to play in pairs and compete on the same stage.
They will perform a song together, but only one will advance to the next round.
Each contestant has different style characteristics and has a different understanding of music, and how to arrange their characteristics to make a harmonious interpretation of a song, but also reflect each other's strengths, this work is very difficult.
And Lu Qingsong happened to be good at this, long before the show was recorded, Cao Wu had greeted him, so as soon as he returned to China, he went straight to the capital.
"Let me introduce you to the star consultant who helped you arrange the music this time, the famous DJ Black Goat teacher, applaud!" Cao Wu made a joke and took the lead in applauding.
Fourteen students also cheered and welcomed Lu Qingsong's arrival.
With the addition of green pine, the work is much easier.
Cao Wu assigned the trainees, and let Qingsong be in charge of three groups and himself in charge of four groups.
At first, the students who were assigned to the green pine group were still a little unbalanced, but after a coaching, they were convinced.
Aomatsu's expertise and understanding of various musical styles are completely beyond Cao Wu's, and even in terms of style fusion, his ideas are sometimes more realistic and appropriate than Cao Wu's.
When Cao Wu adapts songs, his ideas are often wild, trying to add various instruments and change different singing methods.
During this period, the students can learn a lot, but as far as the competition is concerned, it is not so immediate.
Not every student wants to learn something in a down-to-earth manner, some students are just for the competition, they want to win the championship, they want to learn the tricks that can help them win the competition.
Therefore, as soon as some students came up, they said that they wanted to learn chest resonance singing and extreme voices, and these students were assigned to Lu Qingsong by Cao Wu.
Lu Qingsong knew what they were thinking, so he helped them think of a way from the perspective of arrangement.
"Just for you......"
The student sang the first main song, and Lu Qingsong accompanied her with the piano while helping her adjust the rhythm.
"Three, two, one, cello up!"
At the end of the first verse, a thick and deep cello joins, as if the jade has been washed away from the dirt, and the whole piece lights up.
Music arrangement, like any other craft, is more important than extensive.
Sometimes I add a bunch of instruments to it, and I design all kinds of high and low transitions in terms of technique, but the effect is not as good as the slightly modified version.
After working with Cao Wu for so many years, Qingsong knows him very well.
He is a genius, but geniuses often can't figure out the gap between ordinary people and him.
What he thought was easy to do was a challenge for many.
And when others can't do it, he will be very surprised, and he can't understand why such a simple trick can't be completed.
This kind of doubt is very annoying, but others still have no choice.
Lu Qingsong himself is an ordinary person, he has kept up with the pace of the band through his own efforts, and he knows well where ordinary people need to work hard to improve themselves.
Therefore, his guidance was very targeted, and after his training, the repertoire of the three groups of students was quickly formed, and the effect was quite good.
And Cao Wu's side is still in the stage of arrangement.
But the students didn't dare to have any opinions, after all, everyone was not stupid, and what Cao Wu taught them would benefit them for life.
Tomorrow will be the recording of a new episode, and after the day's guidance, Cao Wu invited all the students to dinner.
After all, after tomorrow, many students will leave this stage.
"Don't be so heavy!" Cao Wu picked up his glass, he was going to record the show tomorrow, and everyone was not going to drink wine today, so he replaced wine with tea.
"It's just a show, since I chose you and you have proven your strength, then you have already won, and the ranking of the show can only determine your present, not your life. Come on, let's go, and I wish you all the best tomorrow!"
Everyone drank a glass of juice and ate with chopsticks.
Although Cao Wu's words are so, not everyone can figure it out.
After all, the real benefits are in front of you, and if you can stick to one issue, you can get more exposure and your popularity can be improved again.
The ratings of this show are constantly rising, and everyone knows it. If you can win the championship, the future must be limitless.
But the competition system is there, there are losses and wins, and some people stay and some people are eliminated.
If you want to go further, you can only step on the shoulders of others.
It wasn't just the players who were there, they were the competitors.
Everyone pushes cups and changes lamps, making jokes, and on the surface they are very harmonious, but they also inevitably have their own thoughts.
After a few bites of food, everyone couldn't help it.
On this occasion, if you don't order alcohol, some words are really hard to speak.
So, everyone unanimously proposed to order two bottles of red wine to cheer up.
When the red wine comes up, everyone has a drink in the cup, and they are much more comfortable.
Soon, the students began to take turns to toast Cao Wu, and Qing Song was also the main target.
Cao Wu clinked glasses with everyone, and encouraged him by the way,
Everyone's purpose is different, and the strongest students want to take the opportunity to express their desire to advance, hoping to get Cao Wu's support.
Although the occasion is not too suitable, if you don't even have the courage and confidence to do so, then don't think about qualifying.
The students who knew that their strength and the risk of promotion were relatively large took this opportunity to express their closeness one last time.
After all, as Cao Wu said, this is just a show, and there is not only one way to get promoted, but also outside the show.
Cao Wu didn't make any promises, just encouraged them one by one.
Lu Qingsong touched his glass with the toasting students, took a sip and sat down, watching the students gather around Cao Wu and listen to him.
He didn't have emotions like envy and jealousy, just sighed.
What he lamented was that unconsciously, the level and realm of the black hole had been raised to this point.
They have gradually become rule-makers.
The meal was eaten until more than twelve o'clock in the evening, and although they said that they would not drink alcohol at the beginning, everyone was obviously a little drunk at the end of the show.
Fang Luxiao drove to pick up Cao Wu, and Lu Qingsong took her car back to the hotel.
"Qingyun should be in the third grade, right?" Fang Luxiao asked about the current situation in his family.
"Well, I just started third grade in the second half of the year. Lu Qingsong leaned against the window and replied.
"I had a video call with him the other day and told him that he was going to be an older brother, and he was so happy. Fang Luxiao said with a smile.
Lu Qingsong snorted: "That stinky boy wishes there was someone younger than him to play with him." ”
"Children are like that, can you help him give birth to one?" Fang Luxiao quietly glanced in the rearview mirror and asked with a smile: "Will you return to Xiangcheng after recording tomorrow?"
"Back. Lu Qingsong became like gold again, he leaned back, hugged his arms, and closed his eyes.
Fang Luxiao looked in the rearview mirror again and didn't speak again.
