On the issue of attitude, Dana finally gave Liu Kewei a "barely qualified" conclusion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

So next, it is natural to find out his true level of singing.

Like the last time Xiuying was lying in the singing room on her birthday, at the beginning, Liu Kewei planned to sing WAX's "Reason to Leave Me", which is almost the Korean song he is most familiar with.

But Dana refused—after all, Korean is not your native language, which may limit your play, so in order to get the most accurate idea of your actual level, you should find a Chinese song to sing to me.

The subtext is, of course: for me, it is not a problem for you to sing Korean or Chinese.

And she also asked that it is best to find a song that you usually don't sing well or sing hard, so that it can better achieve the purpose of my evaluation.

The implication is: if you find a light-hearted saliva song to sing, I won't let you pass it easily.

This request made Liu Kewei hesitate -- take his natal Zhang Yusheng as an example, if you want me to sing a relaxed and stress-free song, then I will sing "The Sea" or "The Fish Swimming All Day and Night";

――As for Zhang Yusheng's "How I Want", "No matter How Much You Say, You Don't Understand", and "Brother", even if Liu Kewei wants to sing them, he can't sing them.

Don't talk about him, the high-pitched male singers in the Chinese music world are all bundled together, and no one may be able to sing them all.

But what does this "not very good singing" or "more difficult" mean?

After struggling for a long time, in the end, he chose the song "Duplicity".

Naturally, this practice room of Dana cannot be compared to the office of Kim Yeon-jung, who is also a music producer, and it has a variety of recording facilities that can be used as a professional recording studio.

But at least it's much better than the equipment in the singing room, and if you don't consider the atmosphere, it's absolutely no problem when KTV comes to sing a few songs.

As for Dana, there is no music for this song here. It's pretty simple, just look it up on the Internet and find it.

So, taking a wireless microphone handed over by Dana, Liu Kewei stood in the center of the practice room, lowered his head and brewed his emotions, and then signaled that he was ready.

Dana clicked the play button with the mouse, and the intro music slowly flowed out.

Then, Liu Kewei held the microphone and closed his eyes and began to sing, the lyrics of this song are naturally familiar to him. There is also no need for a teleprompter.

"Duplicity, not your affectionate promises, are drifting away with the west wind.

The love of the foolish dream is like a withered flower.

The spark ignited my warm eyes, which once lit up the most brilliant sky.

Thunderbolt on a sunny day, you let go ruthlessly, when I need you the most.

So love and hate are intertwined, and people are emaciated, afraid that there is no reason for these sufferings.

So the joys and sorrows rise and fall people are silent, and wait for these injuries to be free.

Dulicitude, not your pretentious face, are imprinted in the corners of your heart.

There is nothing to say about the result of my indulgence, like a broken bare mountain.

It's a natural throb of my innocence. The most unrestrained rhythm.

Can't clean up your abusive throwing, all the crystal clear feelings.

So love and hate are intertwined, and people are emaciated, afraid that there is no reason for these sufferings.

So the joys and sorrows rise and fall people are silent, and wait for these injuries to be free. ”

This is the title song of Zhang Yusheng's last album of the same name. The album was released on October 16, 1997, and just a few days later, he was in a car accident and spent more than 20 days in a coma in the hospital. He died on 12 November.

This song is naturally his "posthumous work".

This is also after he transformed into a music producer and produced an album for the then new singer Zhang Huimei. Released a new solo album. Therefore, this song is also the work of Zhang Yusheng when his comprehension of music has reached the highest level.

Because of this, this song is also a very well-known one among all Zhang Yusheng's works.

For a long time, fans had two very different opinions about the difficulty of the song.

Is this song difficult?

Is this song difficult?

In fact, both of the above answers to this question are true.

If you look at it purely from the melody, the difficulty of this song is not very great, and it is probably slightly stronger and limited than his masterpiece "The Sea".

Its difficulty is reflected in the singing skills displayed by Zhang Yusheng in his performance - a series of true and false voice transformations.

For example, it's like the difference between running a 100-meter race and running a 100-meter hurdle run, which are not really the same concept - it's not that difficult to sing the song "out of tune", but it's very difficult to "translate" the song in strict accordance with the interpretation chosen by the original singer.

Therefore, the difficulty is not in the song itself, but in the original singer Zhang Yusheng.

Before Liu Kewei started singing, Dana had already listened carefully to the original interpretation, and after Liu Kewei finished singing, Dana frowned and thought about it again, while listening to the original version again.

"Mr. Liu, do you know what is the difficulty of this song?" Dana took off her headphones and shook her head, her long hair flowing like a picturesque one.

As a diehard of Zhang Yusheng, Liu Kewei has naturally paid attention to many evaluations of him and his works on the Internet, and this song is no exception.

"Well, I've heard of it. It is said that the technique of converting the true and false voices in the chorus part is very difficult - the word "elimination" in "so love and hate are intertwined, people are thin", and the word "quiet" in "so joy and sorrow are silent", both of which are falsetto, while the others are true voices. However, these two words are near the end of the sentence, and they are open sounds, and they have to exhale a lot of breath while making their voices, and then they have to sing the last word of the sentence with high quality in their real voices, this series of true and false voice conversions, plus the problem of breath control, this is the difficulty of this song, right?"

Liu Kewei chose a more mainstream music fan view that he had seen to explain the difficulty of this song.

Dana smiled and nodded, then shook her head again.

"It's roughly correct, but there is a big misunderstanding, that is, in terms of the interpretation of Zhang Yusheng's predecessor's song, there is no so-called 'true voice' or 'false voice', he actually uses 'mixed voice'. That is, the singing of both true and falsetto, and what you call 'transformation'. It's just a matter of adjusting the specific proportions of its composition. ”

Liu Kewei was at a loss, Dana ignored him, and continued to talk to himself.

"Most of the lyrics of this song, you can sing it with your real voice very steadily, which shows that the tone of this song is not difficult for you. However, you don't know how to mix voices, so you're a bit of a failure when it comes to interpreting what you call 'true and false voice conversions'. ”

Liu Kewei blinked and secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Auntie, you've said so much. Are you going to take me or not?

"To be honest, I may have been a little too strict with you before. That's because Sika once told me that you're twenty-five years old—to be honest, at your age, you need to put in more effort than the underage children to get a noticeable improvement in your singing skills, and as an adult, your energy tends to be more easily dispersed than the children. So I'm going to ask a lot more from you than any other kid I'm going to learn vocal music from -- that's the reason. Are you okay with that?"

So that's what happened...... Liu Kewei suddenly realized.

Since you are so reasonable, can I still say no?

So, have you finally decided to take me?

So Liu Kewei grinned bitterly and nodded silently.

"Don't worry. Don't worry, in addition to the fact that the requirements will be stricter than ordinary children, I have two conditions here, and you must agree to them all. I can agree to accept you as a student. Of course, if you can't, I won't force you. It's up to you. ”

Dana cocked up her index and middle fingers and playfully made a cute "V" scissor hand.

There are two more conditions? Liu Kewei was immediately dumbfounded.

Can't you just say it all in one go?

He scratched his head and raised his eyebrows to make a "I would like to hear it" expression.

"First of all, I'm an artist trained by S.M., and if I were to train a competitor for my own company, it would be a conflict with my ethics. So I hope that if you make your debut as a singer in Korea one day, the agency contract must be signed with our company - of course, after this contract expires, if you have other intentions to cooperate, I will not interfere. ”

I haven't thought about making my debut in South Korea - even according to the plan of the fat man Uncle Duan, it will just let me go back to China to participate in a talent show to test the waters.

Are you looking too highly of me?

Liu Kewei couldn't help but show a slightly embarrassed wry smile.

"It's just an economic contract for singing, and it's limited to South Korea, so my condition shouldn't be too much, right? Your activities in other entertainment circles outside of South Korea are not subject to any restrictions; even in South Korea, I only ask you to sign an agency contract with our company for this part of the music industry, and it does not include the two fields of entertainment and acting. ”

Dana probably misunderstood Liu Kewei's expression, but she didn't get angry, but patiently explained it to him.

Liu Kewei pouted, this condition seems to be very fair, right?

I teach you vocal music, your first contract in the Korean music industry must be signed in our company, but I don't force the other two fields of the entertainment industry - variety show and film and television.

In fact, in the other two fields, for non-Korean artists, the door is very narrow and narrow, and it is almost impossible to squeeze in.

How long have Han Geng and Song Qian stayed in South Korea? How many fixed variety shows have they been, and how many film and television dramas have they filmed?

Song Qian is not bad, at least she has participated in "Youth Undefeated 2" and "We Are Married", but in the most popular part of the former, S.M. sent to participate in variety shows by Sunny and Yuri when they were young, that is, when they had to go to Japan when they were young and couldn't take care of South Korea, they just stuffed Song Qian over to "take over".

As for "We Are Married", Song Qian's pair originally went to the point of view of "foreign couples", and they were the exception among the exceptions.

Besides, Han Geng, it's all tears. Not to mention fixed variety shows, in the early days, even when he went to TV stations to participate in singing shows, he was restricted from signing with only three TV stations - in addition to the three major Korean TV stations, he had to wear a mask when he went to other TV stations, and he was not allowed to "show his face".

Neither of them touched the door to enter the Korean film and television industry.

These are still the two Chinese artists that S.M. Company praised at that time, they are all like this, Liu Kewei, a Chinese who is halfway out of home and has no backstage background, has the opportunity to participate in fixed variety shows in South Korea, and even go to filming?

That's really funny.

However, Liu Kewei had no plans to debut in South Korea, so he nodded indifferently.

"Ms. Hong, you misunderstood, it's not that I'm not unhappy, but I don't think I have much hope of getting there. I have no objection to this condition, I don't know what your other condition is?"

P.S. First of all, I would like to state that the number of words in that paragraph does not affect the price of the subscription to this chapter!

Bow and thank jasontsai11 for voting for his precious monthly ticket!

Finally, I want to state that the chapter name has nothing to do with the game of the same name of the ELF company that just went out of business not long ago, so don't go into the hunt for what kind of game it is...... (To be continued.) )
