Chapter 266: You're Nuwa!
In the wind, the subtle sound of sparks crackling and exploding is occasionally heard, and when the hurricane gradually subsides, the burning sound suddenly amplifies, and in an instant, there is the potential of wildfire. At the same time www.biquge.info the sound of a wave higher than a wave suddenly came, as if the flood was raging and rushing, and it would be swept in an instant......
The intro of just a few seconds, with almost no musical instruments, is composed entirely of a variety of natural sound effects, subtly setting off the apocalyptic atmosphere.
The lonely sound of the flute sounded at this time, and the volume of those background sounds faded away.
The desolate drums join the soundtrack, the rhythm is slow but powerful, and it tells the gods of their determination to go to the battlefield.
However, after Taeyeon started singing, the three people outside the house frowned one after another.
There is no problem with the pitch and beat, but the expressiveness is not good.
If Taeyeon's own singing skill level is 100 points, the strength she has shown at this moment may not even reach 50.
Taeyeon in the recording studio, holding the headphones with her left hand and gently resting her right hand on her lower abdomen, closed her eyes with a fully devoted expression, and naturally couldn't see the reaction of the three people outside the room.
But years of experience vaguely told her in her heart that she is not singing this song well.
After barely finishing singing, Taeyeon gently opened her eyes and first looked at Kim Jung-bae, the producer of the cover song.
The latter pursed his lips, his expression looking grim, and slowly shook his head.
Taeyeon's heart immediately chuckled, took off her headphones and hung them up, hurriedly pushed the door and walked out.
After going out, he first bowed to the three of them and apologized, and then walked up to Kim Jong-bae with his head down, ready to be instructed.
"Taeyeon, you're too nervous, relax, relax, okay?"
Because he does not understand Chinese, Kim Zhengpei cannot give specific opinions on the pronunciation of the words, so he can only talk in general terms, and then pick one or two small problems in the breath to correct them.
Taeyeon nodded silently, hanging her head and silently repeating Kim Jung-bae's guidance in her heart, Kim Yeon-jung came over and put his arm around her shoulders and whispered a few more words in her ear.
A few minutes later, Taeyeon returns to the studio to start recording a second time.
The result is also not much better, maybe there is a slight improvement in details than before, but the improvement is not huge, and the expressiveness is still not satisfactory.
Then came the third, the fourth......
Taeyeon's expression became more and more sad, and the pressure seemed to increase instead of decreasing.
"Is Taeyeon recording songs like this today?"
Taking advantage of Kim Jung-bae's small stove for Taeyeon, Duan Shanshan came to Kim Yeon-jung's side and asked in a low voice.
Kim Yeon-jung shook her head and said, "Taeyeon used to record very easily, and the songs sung by multiple people are often done over and over again, and the OST of those solo songs is generally not more than three times." I don't know what the hell happened to her today. ”
"Isn't it because there are too many of us watching that she doesn't play well?" Duan Shanshan asked tentatively, "Why don't we leave for a while and give it a try?"
"How is that possible? She's the captain of Girls' Generation, Taeyeon!" Kim Yeon-jung glanced at Duan Shanshan and sneered at his thoughts unceremoniously, "How could Kim Tae-yeon, who can perform freely in front of tens of thousands of audiences, perform abnormally just because of the presence of a few of us!"
Duan Shanshan touched his nose stupidly, what Jin Yanzheng said should be right, his idea just now was indeed too far-fetched.
At this time, Taeyeon had already started recording for the fifth time, and Duan Shanshan stopped whispering to Kim Yeon-jung and put on headphones to listen attentively again.
As a layman, he only has a hazy feeling that he doesn't seem to understand these things in singing skills, and he can only analyze Taeyeon's interpretation purely from the pronunciation and biting of words and singing emotions.
How so...... If you look at the individual words independently, there is no problem with the pronunciation of each word, but as a complete song, it always feels like it is a little bit less meaningful.
After all, it's not a native language, even if you are proficient in the pronunciation of a single word, it will inevitably look a little rusty after stringing it together, and the unnatural traces are too obvious.
Yes, just like electronically synthesized voice messages.
As a result, not only can the expression of the emotions required by the arrangement not be put into it, but it will also seem a little unconfident, in Japanese, it sounds more "weak".
After all, this is the first time Taeyeon has officially performed a Chinese song.
Besides, this is not a simple cover of the original song, and it is impossible for her to listen to the original singing method repeatedly and then imitate it. The needs of the song are different, and the arrangement is already very different from the original, so she has to "create" her own interpretation, which is much more difficult than simple imitation.
After all, it's almost a process of creating from scratch.
I don't know if it's because of the excessive pressure or the exhaustion of the vocal cords caused by repeated recordings, Taeyeon's performance this time is slightly inferior to the previous version.
After walking out of the recording booth with his head bowed for the fifth time, Taeyeon still walked up to Kim Jong-bae obediently, looking like he was bowing down to be taught.
"Let's take a break. ”
The corners of his mouth squirmed a few times, as if he wanted to say something but wanted to say it, Kim Jung-bae sighed and shook his head and said.
"Oba, do it again, I can do it!"
For the first time since the recording began, Taeyeon defended her first time, and she looked up eagerly with an unyielding struggle in her eyes.
"If you don't relax your emotions, it's the same a few more times. Kim Jong-bae shook his head unmoved, "Don't worry, let's rest for a while, and we'll talk about it later." ”
Taeyeon wanted to say something, but Kim Yeon-jung took him into his arms and patted him on the back to comfort him, and those words were immediately blocked in his throat.
"Duan, could you please tell us Taeyeon a little bit more about the background theme of your game animation?" Kim Jung-bae turned his head and politely suggested, "I think it might help us Taeyeon get the right feeling." ”
Duan Shanshan briefly described this plot to Taeyeon before, but after all, more than ten days have passed, and there are so many schedules to catch up with during the period, even if he had a general impression at the beginning, there are only some vague outlines of the clips left, right?
Duan Shanshan naturally couldn't refuse this request. Assisting in the game's soundtrack and this cover song was the direct reason for his appearance here.
Seeing Duan Shanshan nodding in agreement, Kim Zhengpei pulled his wife to discuss whether the performance of a certain instrument should appear two bars in advance in the arrangement, or maintain the details of the existing pattern.
Taeyeon walked over with a pout, and bowed again without saying a word.
"I'm sorry, Duan Planner, I disappointed you with my performance today......"
"Don't take it personally, people have their own state cycles, and it's normal for states to go up and down. Just like the Spanish football team, every World Cup is the king of qualifiers, and the big killing is unstoppable. But it's not a good thing to get into the state too early, and in the finals, it always withstood the expectations of the heat, but its performance plummeted, and it was only recently that it won the championship. In the past, it was almost the fate of going home early in the group stage or knockout stage. Duan Shanshan clumsily chose an angle that Taeyeon didn't quite understand to comfort.
"Well, what you said sounds like it makes sense, but I don't understand it at all!" Taeyeon frowned and muttered, "Can you say something I can understand?"
Regardless of whether he understood it or not, at least Taeyeon did laugh, and Duan Shanshan thought that he had achieved the purpose of comfort, and waved his hand irresponsibly and said, "That's not important, it's better to hurry up and tell you the background of the song again." ”
When it came to business, Taeyeon also put away her smile, nodded with an expression of humility and listened, and said "na".
How did I introduce this story to Taeyeon before?
Duan Shanshan scratched the back of his head and recalled, vaguely remembering that he was using a third-person perspective to describe to Taeyeon how Nuwa mends the sky, just like the storyteller in the commentary tells the story.
Of course, this method is fine, but if it is from the perspective that Taeyeon wants to interpret the song herself, maybe there is a better way to describe it?
As a writer, Duan Shanshan naturally knows that the most immersive way is of course the second-person way of writing. Perhaps, can you learn from it?
"Taeyeon, listen to me, now you are Nuwa, the god of the origin of Chinese civilization. ”
Stretching out his hand and pointing at Taeyeon, Duan Shanshan used this method as an opening.
"Me?"
Taeyeon pointed to her nose in a daze, revealing her signature expression of disbelief and laughter.
"Yes, it's you!" nodded firmly, almost contrivedly, Duan Shanshan said unequivocally, "You are a god, you created human beings and taught them how to obtain food, how to withstand the cold, how to survive and reproduce in this world......
At this moment, Duan Shanshan felt that he was not fighting alone, and countless pioneer masters in the MLM world possessed his soul and helped him brainwash Taeyeon in front of him in the most convincing and incendiary way.
"Suddenly, one day, a war broke out between the other gods, causing the heavens to fall apart, and a monstrous flood and boundless flames swept through the earth. The mortals you care for and cherish have been tormented in the great catastrophe, and can only let out a helpless wail ......"
"In order to save the world, in order to free the people of the world from the dire situation, as a god, you have decided to stand up and use your own efforts and dedication to undo the wrongs committed by other gods to the world......"
Duan Shanshan looked at Taeyeon's expression and secretly showed a satisfied smile, and the brainwashing indoctrination seemed to be working well.
Listening to this, Taeyeon's breathing unconsciously became a little shorter, and she silently puffed up her chest, and her eyes gradually had that indomitable determination in her eyes.
P.S. Taeyeon singing Chinese songs does give me the feeling of a little lack of confidence, I don't believe you can listen to her Chinese version of "BYE" (one of the ost of the movie "Daming Gorilla"), the pronunciation of the single words should be fine, but when connected together, it seems unnatural, like lack of confidence.
