Chapter 22: The Heart of a Master

"What did you think of the performance just now?" asked the hostess as she walked up to the stage and smiled.

"Good!" may be that the show is really good, or it may be that the host is good-looking. All in all, the response from the audience was very good.

"Thank you all for the applause. However, the next performers need everyone's encouragement. Let's welcome the NATURL band from Shangxi High School to bring us a wonderful performance!"

The crew moved quickly and quickly rearranged the stage. After receiving the signal, Qian Myung-hoon and the others quickly took the stage and took their places.

Seeing how young the performers were, the audience burst into even more enthusiastic applause.

"Look! my son is out!"

"Quietly, I see it. ”

Similar conversations appeared in several places in the audience. Although it is only an after-school activity, children's achievements are always the happiest for parents.

So the parents are obviously middle-aged, but they are also cheering like children at this time.

Obviously, the theater is not as many as the teachers and students of Shangxi High School, but the people in the NATURL band are even more nervous.

Perhaps this is the significant difference between society and school.

Although the flowers in the ivory tower seem to be strong, a cold wind blowing inadvertently from the outside world will make them shiver.

It doesn't matter, we've practiced it countless times. Bigger scenes have been experienced, and they are still so successful!

OK!

After taking a few deep breaths, Lin Yushuo finally pressed the first key of the electronic organ.

Hearing the melodious prelude, the applause from the audience also weakened.

The audience listened with bated breath.

Will these half-grown high school students have unexpected strength?

----

Millennial love!

Although it was only through a few syllables that were slightly distorted due to tension, Lee Sun-hee immediately judged that this was the prelude to "Millennial Love".

Li Shanji, also translated as Li Xianji. Born on November 11, 1964. In 1984, Lee Sun-hee, who was still a college student, participated in the riverside song festival held by MBC and won the championship with a song "To J". Since then, he has appeared in the song world as a comet. In the same year, it won many awards.

In the 80~90s of the 20th century, he was a smash hit and was known as the most powerful singer in the Korean music scene. The timbre is elegant, and the volume is huge. And the genre is changeable, which can control both lyricism and rock. The ability to express the connotation of the song is amazing. Until the 30th anniversary of his debut in 2014, he still has a voice that has never aged. It is known as a humanoid textbook and an evergreen tree in the music world.

At this time, although Li Shanji has not yet reached the age of not being confused, she has already made plans for the second half of her life.

She has long passed the stage of youth and vigor, and deeply understands that people cannot always stand at the top. Whatever the reason, the glory will always fade after it passes. But whether he took the initiative to change and adapt in advance, or was he finally pushed away by his juniors.

It's a hard question to decide.

It's to take advantage of the applause to leave the best side for the fans. Or let the world see how you grow old.

Lee Sun-hee has figured it out! Since the beginning of the new millennium, she has slowed down the pace of releasing albums. Instead, he went behind the scenes and put more effort into creating music.

There is another important reason for this: that is, Li Shanji also moved to be a teacher. I want to find a disciple to pass on what she has learned in half her life.

From July 2002, Lee Sun-hee took over as the representative of the Daehae-ro Public Performance Theater. Intention to discover potential children.

But in the past year, she has not found a particularly satisfactory candidate.

Lee Sun-hee also understands the crux of the matter: today's music industry is very different from before, and there are fewer and fewer people who can sing quietly.

Xu Taizhi, who was a smash hit in the 90s, is the culprit who started the current model of the song industry.

Xu Taizhi has no good impression of the school and thinks that it is corrupting people's minds. He dropped out of school at the age of 14 and devoted himself to music. has formed several bands, and after becoming famous, they went their separate ways due to incompatible concepts.

In 1991, he founded the group Seo Tae-ji & Kids, with the other two members being Yang Hyun-seok (founder of YG Entertainment) and Lee Juno.

In 1992, Seo Tae-ji and his children released their debut album "Seotaiji and Boys 1", which was a groundbreaking album that rewrote the history of Korean music.

The representative song "I Understand" is the first work in the history of K-pop music to take dance music and rap music as the keynote. The new genre swept across the country like a flood, selling 1.7 million copies!

The Korean music scene, dominated by Korean singing and adagio ballades, was marked by the release of the album in 1992, which changed dramatically.

Xu Taizhi's follow-up works are also huge. Although the subject matter is sensitive, the three views are extreme. It is very controversial and has aroused criticism from the Korean education community. But it has unstoppably won the support of young people.

Some of the works were once banned by the Korean Film and Television Ethics Committee. The move sparked a massive fan backlash that forced South Korea to abolish the pre-trial system in July 1996.

These feats influenced the early Hallyu idols who were in adolescence at the time, and their popularity remained high, and their influence continues to this day. Indirectly induced S.M Project to complete the transformation into an entertainment company.

He is a well-deserved cult leader of Hallyu.

After Xu Taizhi and his children disbanded, Xu Taizhi returned to his original dream - rock music. The other two members were deeply influenced and formed their own company inheritance philosophy.

Although the style is not in harmony, the concept is also not in harmony. But that doesn't mean you can't agree with each other's strengths. Lee Sun-hee's impression of Xu Taizhi is that although her singing skills are average, she is indeed talented. It is a legend who started an era.

But it also made it more difficult for Li Shanji to find a suitable disciple.

Nowadays, people have gradually neglected the essence of sound. Immerse yourself in gorgeous packaging and manic rhythms.

After years of searching for nothing and still finding nothing, Lee Sun-hee felt that the concept of college students might have been solidified and difficult to change.

Then I'm going to look for a younger group! high school bands, high school students. Even if it's rare, you can always find one.

It's time to lower your requirements.

Lee Sun-hee worked tirelessly to travel to and from various locations where high school bands performed, and today she came to the RIVE Theater.

----

Such a high song, and the original song is the same key!

Lee Sun-hee subconsciously felt that she might not get anything again today.

Today's children don't have a clear understanding of their own strength, and only know that they fanatically imitate their favorite singers. I don't think about whether this song is suitable for me or not, and whether it can be expressed well. They don't think it matters!

Although she hasn't heard the voice of the lead singer yet, Lee Sun-hee has subconsciously been a little disappointed with the selection and arrangement.

It's okay if you can't sing it, but if you shout something hard, it's really hard to hear. For a singer of Lee Sun-hee's level, it's a devastating ear.

Listen to the front first, and if you can't, leave early.

Listening to the tactful prelude, Lee Sun-hee thought so.

"Millennial Love" can be regarded as the representative work of the band NATURL, and it is the song that everyone has practiced the most. My confidence in performing this song can be said to be no higher.

So the first song performed outside the school, everyone unanimously decided that it was it.

……

I can't just let you go

Although I prayed all night like this

If I can't love you anymore

Why don't you take me with you, too?

……

The peaks and loops turn, and the willows and flowers are bright.

Cheon Myung-hoon's singing in the first paragraph reawakened Lee Sun-hee's heart, which was about to fall silent.

Unexpectedly...... Nothing needs to be improved in particular!

Lee Sun-hee has listened to countless students sing over the years, and most of them have obvious problems. Lee Sun-hee can easily find a lot.

But this kid ...... Whether it is the processing of details, or the control of sound, there are no flaws!

If she has to find out the problem, Lee Sun-hee can only give suggestions from the understanding of the song and the way she expresses her feelings.

That's right, not a guide but a suggestion. In terms of emotional expression, the benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise.

If you don't have your own, you're necessarily better than the other person.

This kid's mid-bass is awesome!

Lee Sun-hee's expectations for several years have been answered at this moment.

It's him! Even if there's not enough treble in the back, it doesn't matter. I'll teach him.

If you can do anything, what else do you want me to do as a teacher?

……

My last wish is even to heaven

I've been pretending not to know what I wanted

With a spark of love that never goes out

You will always burn in my heart

I have to hold back my tears for my sake

How tired you are during this time

Even after a thousand years, I won't forget you

Because I love you

……

The chorus part has already set the audience on fire, with applause and cheers.

Lee Sun-hee has been listening intently, and after examining half of the song, she found that Cheon Myung-hoon's treble has the characteristics of being instrumentalized. Even in a noisy environment, it can be easily recognized.

This is a further improvement in sound quality after the control of sound has reached a certain level. This kind of metallization and instrumentation makes the sound more condensed, and it is no longer a random transmission in all directions.

Looking at Cheon Myung-hoon's young face, Lee Sun-hee had a hint of disobedience to reason. But as long as you close your eyes, everything is perfect.

She was completely immersed in the song. At the end of the song, the soundstage still surrounds the theater.

The aura is the temperament of the person, and the sound field is the temperament of the voice. It is an ethereal feeling that gives the listener endless imagination.

The sound field is wrapped around the sound core, no matter how delicate the original timbre is, as long as there is a sound field, it will not feel thin.

The scientific explanation may be that the overtone resonance is imperceptible to the human ear.

WHEN OBJECTS IN NATURE EMIT SOUND AT 800 HZ, THEY ACTUALLY PRODUCE MORE THAN JUST 800 HZ SOUND WAVES. THE INDEPENDENT VIBRATION OF EACH PART OF THE OBJECT ALSO PRODUCES OVERTONES AT FREQUENCIES SUCH AS 400HZ, 200HZ, 100HZ, ETC.

These overtones may not be well distinguished, but when combined, they produce a wonderful response.

Just like listening to a symphony orchestra concert, the interplay of instruments always creates an indescribable feeling. The whole body was as if it had been passed by an electric current, crispy and numb.

What a talent!

……

Is it really talented?

……

Thinking of this, Li Shanji's heart seemed to fall from a high altitude again.

Will he already have a teacher?
