Chapter 218: High Energy Ahead
"Finally, it's time for my brother to come out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Liu Kewei stood up excitedly, first did a few warm-up movements with a lot of amplitude, such as a few turns of the neck like a boxer before taking the stage, as well as the stretching of the arms up and down, left and right, as well as twisting the waist, swinging the hips, and bending upright and touching the ground with the palms, and finally a few alternating lunges and leg presses.
"Oh!"
"Is Liu Zuo going to the sports meeting?"
"Isn't that an exaggeration?"
This off-line teasing behavior immediately shocked or burst into laughter among the young people.
However, for Che Guanglong and Duan Shanshan, Liu Kewei's tricks have long been strange.
"This guy is definitely the sequelae of Stephen Chow's movies after watching too much. Duan Shanshan pouted and complained.
Che Guanglong nodded heavily, looking like he was concerned about me, and then turned his head sideways and muttered: "There is a high-energy reaction ahead, non-combatants, please evacuate immediately." ”
According to the experience of going to KTV in the past, every time Liu Kewei starts singing, he can scare people who listen to him sing for the first time. Although most of the people present today can be said to be professionals, he is still convinced of the results of Liu Kewei's surprise to Shaoshi and his agents.
You must know that he and Duan Shanshan both have about 20 years of experience as pop music enthusiasts, although their musical aesthetics are quite different, but they are very confident that they can be more objective than most ordinary people when it comes to judging whether a song is good or not.
To tell the truth, listening to Liu Kewei's singing brought them a shock, far more than the Shencheng concert last year.
Of course, on the one hand, the songs sung by Liu Kewei are closer to their musical orientation than the Kpop dance music at the concert. On the other hand, no matter what, when he was young, he was also a shining star standing on a distant stage, and his expectations for them would be relatively higher, and Liu Kewei, a colleague at his fingertips, would not have high expectations for his ability to sing.
With the influence of these two factors, coupled with Liu Kewei's singing level far exceeding that of ordinary people, it is not surprising that the shock brought by this guy exceeds the touch of watching a concert when he was young.
The two of them complained and muttered in Chinese, and when they were young, they naturally couldn't understand, and Xiaoyuan saw that Wakazakura nodded and smiled knowingly, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Ernie, what are they talking about?"
Probably because of the best level of Chinese (excluding spoken Chinese, spoken words must be Xu Xian's best), coupled with his own straightforward affinity, among the nine girls, Xiaoyuan and Wakazakura are probably the closest relationship, and the number of chat conversations is almost the one.
Duan Planner said that Liu was too deeply influenced by Stephen Chow, so he did those funny warm-up activities. As for the car program, he said that you will be startled by the song sung by Liu Production. Wakazakura explained quietly.
"Is Liu Chuan singing badly?" Although Ruoying had already lowered her volume, Yun'a, who was sitting not far away, still heard it, and hurriedly turned around with Jessica, who was sitting on her lap, and asked with joy.
Wakazakura shook her head, "No, it's the opposite, you'll find out in a moment." ”
"Huh?" Yun'er frowned, and the fawn's eyes turned around flexibly, looking sneaky.
It seems that it is necessary to add some difficulty to that Liu Production......
So Yun'er raised her hand and shouted before Liu Kewei chose the song: "Liu Production, can I add two requirements?"
Liu Kewei almost finished the ridiculous warm-up, stood up and looked at Yun'er with a smile: "Of course you can, Yun'er Xi, you can say it." ”
"First, it can't be a Korean song we haven't heard!"
Although Taeyeoni, Sikaoni, and Busy can tell if they are out of tune by their relative pitch, it is always troublesome to turn to them all the time. Besides, Sicaoni loves to be unreliable, Taeyeoni is cautious as the captain and has a boring personality, and will not make things difficult for outsiders casually, and finally Hope is a good boy who knows how to be too polite, even if he is straightforward, the way he gives opinions is more like communication and discussion than criticism, and the effect I want is not like that.
In Yun'er's opinion, it is best to be able to hear Liu Kewei's singing mistakes by herself, so it is much more convenient to be sarcastic and ridiculed.
"No problem, it's the song you've heard, guaranteed. Liu Kewei did not hesitate to circle his index finger and thumb in a circle and made an "ok" gesture.
"Second, the two songs just now are not high in pitch, can you choose a higher song for Liu Production?" Yuna added smartly, "We prefer more exciting music!"
Judging from the performance of Che Guanglong, Ruoying and Duan Shanshan just now, the middle and low registers are relatively stable, and the slightly higher pitch is a little difficult, Yun'er can't help but be swayed by inertial thinking, and deduces that Liu Kewei should not be able to sing high notes well.
Hearing this request, Liu Kewei was stunned for two seconds, and then said with a weird smile: "Okay, I'll do my best." ”
Phew, you're obviously better at high-pitched notes, okay! If you really want to sing mid-bass songs, your performance may not be as good as me and Lao Duan, and now you still pretend to be reluctant, it's a shame!
Che Guanglong sneered with a disgusted expression.
Yun'er Xi, your request, is it simply to hit that guy's muzzle, okay! Duan Shanshan also showed a helpless look and thought so.
Yun'er quietly took the reactions of the three of them into her eyes, and felt more and more that she was really smart, she laughed triumphantly, and waved her fist in support of her: "Then it's decided, Liu Making!"
"Thank you Yun'er Xi for your encouragement!" Liu Kewei touched his chest with his right hand, pretended to bow with a European court salute, and then turned his head to Jin Suyong and reported the title of the song he wanted to sing: "Wax's "Reason to Leave Me", thank you." ”
WAX is the stage name of South Korean female singer Cho Hye Li, and "The Reason to Leave Me" is a song from her first album "Mother's Diary" released in 2000.
For the people of the Celestial Empire, this relatively unfamiliar song title actually has another, more famous cover version.
"Sea and Sky" is not beyond's "Sea and Sky", but "Sea and Sky" by the Xin Orchestra.
Liu Kewei's destiny is Zhang Yusheng, a unique existence in the Chinese music scene, and the absolute height of the vocal range is a well-deserved No.1 among male pop singers in the Chinese-speaking circle, although he has passed away for more than ten years, it is estimated that he is unlikely to be surpassed by latecomers in the next one or two decades. Even if you look at Asia, he can be ranked first in terms of absolute height alone.
Generally speaking, female singers generally have a higher vocal range than male singers, and Zhang Yusheng's evil lies in the fact that he can be compared with the top soprano.
Of course, singing is not unilaterally the higher the tone, the better, being able to sing well and singing well are two different things. When singing in the super treble area, everyone is full falsetto, not only is it not good, but there is not much difference in timbre between men and women.
For example, among all Zhang Yusheng's works, the most famous and recognized best-sounding ones should be "The Sea" and "The Fish Swimming All Day and Night", right?
But you know, these are about the two highest and lowest of his songs.
So low that most ordinary men can sing it.
Of course, Liu Kewei's vocal range cannot be compared with Zhang Yusheng, he is only very close to Zhang Yusheng in timbre, and only the two songs just mentioned are more obvious. Zhang Yusheng's other songs with a higher pitch, he may not be able to sing them, even if he can barely sing them, the timbre will be much worse.
However, because of the influence of the natal song style, Liu Kewei's musical aesthetic orientation is inevitably biased towards high notes. In addition to Zhang Yusheng, among the singers that Liu Kewei admires, Su Jianxin is in the top few.
Of course, Su Jianxin is also a soprano singer, but if his soprano is placed in front of Zhang Yusheng, he is relatively in the category of "normal human", not an almost superhuman existence like the latter.
Therefore, although Liu Kewei's destiny is Zhang Yusheng, he sings Su Jianxin's songs much more times than Zhang Yusheng in KTV - because Zhang Yusheng sings many songs very reluctantly or can't sing at all, while Su Jianxin's songs are basically controlled by him.
Because of this, Liu Kewei has paid a lot of attention to Su Jianxin and his songs. As a result, I learned that many of the singer's songs are covers of Korean songs, such as this "Reason to Leave Me".
In contrast, if the former is "virtual", the latter is much more "real", and it focuses more on the explosive power of the treble part.
To use an analogy, the former is like the poignant cry of the sea banshee Medusa in a dream, while the latter is like a cry and roar that deliberately suppresses one's anger and then reaches the point where it can no longer bear it.
Liu Kewei's feeling of performing this song is different from WAX and Su Jianxin.
Let's talk about the shortcomings first, Liu Kewei's emotional rendering power in singing this song is definitely not as good as the dedication of WAX and Su Jianxin, and it must be dwarfed in terms of impressing the audience.
After all, his style is still more inclined to Zhang Yusheng, similar to the feeling of wandering freely between heaven and earth.
What songs does Zhang Yusheng have that express emotions that tend to be sad or angry?
Hardly. Even in songs with a lot of negative emotions such as "I Expect" or "Duplicity", it is closer to self-satisfaction or self-motivation to rise up.
"My Favorite Hurts Me the Most" doesn't count, that one is a chorus with Zhang Huimei, and the other party's suitable singing style must be taken into account. And even if it is this song, at the end of "light a lamp, warm my unregretted youth, and burn out all my uncomplaining seriousness", the artistic conception of the song has also turned to a positive attitude towards life.
In the final analysis, Zhang Yusheng's music style generally tends to be enthusiastic, cheerful, confident, and strong, which are not compatible with grief or anger.
Therefore, Liu Kewei sang this song "Reason to Leave Me", like a bird flying in the sky.
Listening to Liu Kewei's interpretation of this familiar song seemed to be much easier than the original song, he and his agents couldn't help but be dumbfounded and freeze the frame.
P.S. I have to admit that Liu Kewei is given a bit of a golden finger in this chapter, and this guy's prototype can indeed eat most of Ashin's songs in reality, but it is certainly not as easy as I wrote, and it will occasionally go out of tune when it is not in a good state.
