Chapter 217: Relative Pitch

Kim Yeon-pyeong said that he seemed to have seen Jang Ho-chul, but in fact he was not mistaken.

At the end of the last century, he was obsessed with fin.k.l for a while, so he specially watched the first broadcast of the Sino-Korean song festival in which they participated.

In this concert, in addition to the last chorus program "Hand in Hand", "Good Man" sung by Jang Ho-cheol, who was all the rage in the Celestial Empire at that time, was actually the finale.

In traditional Confucian culture, many people appear in the occasion, and the later the character appears, the more status or authority they have over others. For example, in the past, when the great court was held, the first to appear was definitely the guards and eunuchs, then the middle and low-level civil and military officials, followed by the six scholars, scholars or military ministers, and finally the emperor himself.

Although the background of the times is different, this habit of humility before respect is still preserved. At this point, South Korea and the Celestial Empire maintain considerable consistency, for example, the singing programs of the three major TV stations are basically newcomers in the front, and the seniors are the last.

Therefore, for Zhang Haozhe, who was able to stand in the finale position in the first China-Korea Song Meeting, Jin Yanping at that time couldn't help but pay special attention to it.

In addition, Zhang Haozhe's appearance is very recognizable, although in the Celestial Empire, people will occasionally be confused with Tengger, but after all, there is no Tengger in South Korea, right? Even twelve years later, Jin Yanping looked at the side photo of Zhang Haozhe on the screen, and he could vaguely feel a little similar.

As for Kim so Yong said that he seemed to have heard this song, that was earlier, when he was in middle school, there was a sworn friend in the class who was an overseas Chinese in South Korea, and he often collected some Chinese records, and even took him to listen to some old Chinese songs, including "Back to the Past".

So he was a little confused at first, I remember that the song seems to be in Chinese, and there is even a Korean version that I don't know!

Because of various opportunities, these agents in their thirties may have some understanding of Jang Ho-cheol or the song "Then and That Day", but when they were young, these nine Korean girls in their twenties were basically completely at a loss.

And when he was young, the most annoyed person was Yun'er. originally planned to pick a few random singing problems and ridicule a few words, not only to avenge the busyness, but also to vent his anger. But in the previous song "Endless_Love", on the one hand, Che Guanglong and Xia Ruoying sang without any major problems, and on the other hand, because of the close relationship between Ruoying and her youth, it was not good to insist on picking bones in the egg. So I was going to use the most critical attitude to judge the song that Duan Planning and Liu Zhizuò wanted to sing, but I didn't expect that Liu Zhizuò guy would choose such a "Korean song" that they had never heard before for Duan Planning to sing, and it would mix up Yun'er's wishful thinking at once.

She can only feel that this song is planned and sung by Che Guanglong quite well, but she doesn't know if it's out of tune.

If someone sings a song that they have never heard before, can they tell if they are singing out of tune? As long as it is not a cappella, theoretically it is possible, and the specific way is to listen to the soundtrack to discern whether each tone is consistent with the singing.

Some children with outstanding musical talents, after receiving professional musical training, can be prepared to distinguish the specific tone of the bird call outside the window at a very young age, and the so-called "absolute tone" refers to more or less this thing.

If you have an absolute sense of tone, you can tell which tone the soundtrack is in and which tone the singer is, and you can naturally distinguish whether it is out of tune.

There are very few people with an absolute sense of tone, which is not a return that can be obtained purely by hard training and learning, and may be lower than the probability of winning the ** lottery with a single bet, and there is no such anti-heaven level in the girlhood.

Except for the absolute tone, no one can tell the difference?

Of course not, there is also an ability called "relative pitch", that is, if you are given a reference tone, you will be able to discern the rise and fall of other tones on this basis. This ability can be mastered through diligent practice.

Although I can't tell which tone the soundtrack is or which note is sung, I can tell if the tone of the soundtrack is the same as the one sung, so I can easily tell if it is out of tune.

By the way, if the soundtrack and singing are not in the same tone when the band is playing live accompaniment, it may not necessarily be that the singer is out of tune, or it may be a mistake by the musician, or even both.

However, the accompaniment version used in KTV usually does not have much problem with the pitch, so you don't need to consider the possibility of the soundtrack being out of tune.

Of course, people are not machines after all, whether they are singing or playing, they may be slightly out of tune due to changes in sentiment or subtle differences in operation, or some instruments are not accurate enough when they were originally tuned, so the statement that they are not out of tune is not absolute. As long as the intonation error is within an acceptable range, it is not out of tune.

In addition to the two abilities of absolute tone and relative tone, there are two other possibilities to distinguish whether a song is out of tune, one is that the song is more familiar to the discriminator and compared with the "standard version of pitch" in the impression, and the other is whether there is an obvious vocal error in the singing, if there is, it is basically out of tune.

The song "That Time and That Day" just now, when they were young, they naturally did not have the "standard version of pitch" in their cognition, and Duan Shanshan and Che Guanglong did not make obvious vocal errors in the singing process, and there were no members with absolute tonality when they were young, so they could only hope for relative tonality to distinguish whether they were out of tune.

Among the nine members of Girls' Generation, the relatively good ones are Taeyeon and Jessica, who have received professional vocal training from Mr. Jung Soon-won, and Seo Hyun, who has received professional instrumental music and piano training under the guidance of his mother since childhood.

The so-called idol is an idol, not a profession with singing as the only direction of development, and there is a difference between it and a singer.

Jung Soon-won is a singer, and Girls' Generation is an idol.

Idol may not have to receive comprehensive and systematic professional music training, of course, several lead singers must have some more or less targeted training in this aspect, but the only young members who can really be said to have received professional music training are Taeyeon, Jessica and Seo Hyun.

Yuna naturally turned her attention to Jessica, who was considered to have a "common hatred" position at the moment.

"What?" Jessica paused, she wasn't stupid, and quickly guessed Yun'er's thoughts, so the old man blushed and shook her head, "I didn't pay attention to ......"

A song is several minutes long, and it takes a high degree of sustained concentration to discern whether the soundtrack is in tune with the singing throughout the song.

Well, as we all know, one of Jessica's many labels has the words "habitual emptying" written in one of them.

Just as Jessica understands Yun'er's dark temperament, Yun'er also knows a lot about the characteristics of Jessica, Ernie, so she sighed helplessly, turned to another direction and asked, "Taeyeon Oni, did they have any ...... in the song "That Time and That Day" just now, Duan Planning and Car Procedures Out of tune?"

Taeyeon nodded, then shook her head again.

"Is there any, Ernie!" what do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?" asked Yoona a little irritably.

Taeyeon pursed her lips and smiled, didn't say anything, and simply lowered her head to play with her nails.

"Hey!" Yun'er was so crazy that she stomped her foot and burst into a quasi-foul mouth, "Ernie, why are you like this!"

"Ah, Lin Yun'a, what did you just say?" Taeyeon immediately raised her head and pointed at Yun'a, glaring at her and scolding.

This is Yuna's sorrow. Obviously, she and Xiuying were born in the same year, but they are just more than three months younger, but because Xiuying's birthday is in the early month, she can laugh and scold and joke with Taeyeon, Jessica and others with the same age and deceased in a more casual manner. And if Yun'er did this, she would be forcibly suppressed by a few Ernies in minutes.

After being scolded by Taeyeon for posing as captain Ernie, Yoona apologized with honorifics: "Praise Hamida ......"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head sideways and looked full of resentment, so he almost squatted in the corner of the wall to draw circles.

Taeyeon shook her head with tears and laughed as she continued to look down and play with her nails.

Out of the corner of Yun'er's eye, she caught a glimpse of Taeyeon letting herself go, and her expression immediately returned to her normal state, and she approached Seo-hyun and whispered, "Busy, are those two guys out of tune?"

"Yes, but it's not out ......of tune," Xu Xian naughtily learned Taeyeon, nodded and shook his head, "There are a few notes in Duan Planning that the pitch is correct when the sound is pronounced at the beginning, but then the ventilation drag sound is not stable enough, and it is a little floating; ”

Yun'er was immediately entangled, if it was just like what Xu Xian said, it was really not out of tune. Not to mention the layman, even in professional idols, it is not uncommon for similar situations to occur when singing, especially for the members of the KPOP group who often have to bounce on the stage and are not the lead singers.

When I was young, my singing skills were almost the strongest in Korean girl groups.

In 2009, there was a very famous silence incident in the Korean song industry, that is, some fans used the silence software "MR" to process the live videos of many idol groups, erasing the soundtrack and effect sounds, leaving a singing voice similar to a cappella, which was used to judge the actual singing skills of idols. As a result, most of the girl groups' silenced performance xiàn was disappointing, on the contrary, the singing advantage of Girls' Generation was more obvious.

In the process of getting out of the trough when I was young to reaching the top of the No. 1 girl group in South Korea, the silence incident played a key role.

Rao is like this, and it is impossible to achieve all the singing skills of all the members when he is young, for example, for example, Xiao Yuan and Yu Li, both of whom were complained about by other members in the early variety shows they participated in when they were young.

Of course, this is not a big problem, after all, these two are the dancers in the group.

Although Duan Shanshan and Che Guanglong didn't dance just now, after all, those two guys are amateurs, and it seems a bit unreasonable to criticize each other with standards that professional idols may not be able to do, right?

Now, she can only hope that Liu Zhizuò is a guy with incomplete tones.

P.S. Yesterday when correcting a mistake somewhere in chapter 215, I accidentally overwrote chapter 216, and it has now been corrected.
