Lifting his hands from the keyboard and staying in the air about two inches high, Xu Xian froze for two or three seconds. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info then stretched his fingers slightly, then raised his left hand sideways, his right hand flat, and in such a slightly strange position, he turned around and stood up like a puppeteer in a cartoon, walked a few steps towards the audience, and came to the empty position on the stage, and was really motionless like a puppeteer.

It is said that it is impossible to perform on stage without makeup, but at this time, Xu Xian does not look like there is any trace of makeup at all, and his healthy and ruddy complexion is completely a feeling of facing the sky without powder. With slightly heroic eyebrows, focused and serious eyes, and long hair that is soft and natural on her chest, she definitely doesn't look like a dazzling idol who should appear in the spotlight or in front of the spotlight, but an ordinary girl next door who may walk into the classroom quietly with her schoolbag on her back at any time.

Four men in white suits crept up to her from behind, hugging her curiously in the center and looking at her from different angles. Then he raised eight hands around Xu Xian, and suddenly sprinkled a confetti that looked like a golden fallen leaf.

As if the bathed golden leaves had exerted some magic, the corners of the puppeteer Seo Hyun's originally tightly stiffened mouth finally bloomed with a smile, gently raised his hands, and after a soothing circle, he gently lifted the skirt with his right hand, and walked towards the center of the stage on the left with his left hand on his chest, while he began to sing the first popular lyrics.

“i’m_sixteen_going_on_seventeen,i_know_that_i’m_naive。 ”

This is an episode in the classic American movie "The Sound of Music" "Sooner to be Seventeen", compared to Xu Xian's piano solo's "Harlequin's Morning Song", tens of thousands of viewers in the audience, who know the latter may not exceed 100 people, and those who don't know the former are estimated to be no more than 100 people. The two, which have a huge difference in cognition, were put together by a girl who didn't know whether to say ingenious or whimsical, and presented them to the audience.

The fat man's mother used to be a quasi-literary young woman who secretly loved European and American movies, and in that era when she went to the mountains and went to the countryside, she also watched a lot of "internal reference films" in the small screening room of the government compound as the child of a cadre, before the fat man's grandfather was classified as a rightist.

However, the bourgeois poisonous weeds that had been banned like a flood beast were already able to go to the cinema openly and buy tickets to enjoy it after the 80s. As a result, the fat man has a lot of childhood memories of being held and led by his mother to watch classic movies such as "Princess Sissi" and "The Sound of Music" over and over again.

Thanks to this, with Seo Hyun's singing on stage, he can quickly recall the background of this song bit by bit, which is a duet between men and women when the colonel's eldest daughter Lisa and her boyfriend Rolf express their affection for each other in the garden. The light-colored half-sleeved dress that Lisa was wearing at the time was almost exactly the same as the one on Seo Hyun.

I don't know what the reason was, the Rolf part was cut, and only Seo Hyun completed half of the song in the Lisa part alone. The singing method used by Xu Xian is a very traditional opera-style bel canto singing method, with a strong and powerful alto alto and melodious treble. The dance moves of her and the backup dancers are also completely old-fashioned musicals, with a touch of ballet.

The fat man glanced at Liu Kewei triumphantly, and the curly hair also nodded with a wry smile, this song must be regarded as a Hollywood movie song, and there will be no controversy.

"I feel like this girl ......," Che Guanglong turned his head to look at them, "it seems to be a little special." I can't say the specifics, but I feel that she is different from others. ”

"She's not an ordinary idol," Liu explains, "and it's said that her mother was a piano teacher and grew up with a formal music education. ”

The fat man nodded and said, "I see, no wonder her temperament is ...... It is dignified to say that it sounds good, and it is a bit pedantic to say that it is not good. is like a good girl who doesn't smile at a glance, and the performance just now seems to be a little uncontrollable, and it doesn't show Lisa's girlish feelings in the movie. If Lisa is about to turn seventeen, it feels like the girl she's performing is probably not yet fifteen. ”

"Haha, you're right. Liu Kewei remembered something and laughed, "It seems tiring to be friends with her, eating a hamburger will tell you that you are easy to die early, and you pay great attention to your diet and work and rest rules." Can you believe it? Even when she met her 'husband' for the first time, she wrote down the questions she wanted to ask in a notebook, and then took the notebook and asked people one by one! I really sympathize with Zheng Ronghe, who is 'married' to her, and I can't imagine how I can get along with such a girl!"

"How old is she? Why did she get married?" Che Guanglong asked curiously, "No, isn't it okay to have an idol, can't you even have a scandal, and you can still be an idol when you get married?"

"It's a variety show that imagines marriage," Liu Kewei replied, "I just said it in the afternoon, while drinking tea." ”

"What do you think of her singing?" the fat man changed the subject, "as the fourth lead singer." ”

Liu Kewei thought for a while and said: "The recognition of the timbre is not high, but the pitch is very stable, and it is worthy of being practiced since childhood." ”

"The voice is relatively loud and powerful, but the disadvantage is that the qi doesn't seem to be enough?" Che Guanglong said uncertainly, "There is no intense dancing yet, and I feel a little out of breath." ”

I feel the same way, especially in long sentences, where the inhalation is obvious. "It's similar to Sunny, but the breath isn't very well controlled." ”

In a light metallic melody, a bright yellow umbrella flies around the screen. As the piano sounded, Jessica, dressed in a purple trench coat, appeared standing on the elevator, smiling and waving to the audience. When the elevator stopped, Jessica reached out to the umbrella on the screen, which flew towards her and disappeared behind her, she quickly pulled something out of her left sleeve and opened a small yellow umbrella with a wave of her hand, which looked like the umbrella on the screen had flown into her hand.

“i’m_singin’in_the_rain,just_singin’in_the_rain。 Holding up the little yellow umbrella and shaking it gently, Jessica spoke.

"Won't it, the third solo?" Cha Guanglong scratched his head, looking a little disbelieving.

However, after singing the first verse, Jessica's elevator began to descend. Then she sings to another equally sweet voice, where Sunny in a pink trench coat appears standing on another elevator.

Then, Taeyeon in the orange trench coat, Tiffany in the dark blue trench coat, Seo Hyun in the light blue trench coat, Su-young in the purple trench coat, Yori in the red trench coat, Yoona in the yellow trench coat, and Hyoyeon in the green trench coat appear on the stage or elevator in turn, and each person "takes" a small yellow umbrella from the screen when they sing.

All nine of them appeared on the stage in a line, and the screen above them also appeared on the screen with the same scale of the nine of them, and the eighteen girls on and off the screen danced in unison and sang in unison. Then they stepped on the beat, gracefully kicked their calves down the movable staircase, and stood in the center of the stage. At this time, about a meter in front of them, artificial rain began to fall. At the end of the melody, they took a step forward with their little yellow umbrellas and broke into the "wall of rain".

The fat man poked Liu Kewei: "This is still a movie song, right?"

"I know," Liu Kewei pouted, "Singin' in the Rain" of "Singin' in the Rain", the theme song of the movie of the same name. ”

A cartoon image of "The Little Match Girl" begins to play on the screen, and Taeyeon, Seo Hyun, Jessica, and Sunny sit quietly on the movable stairs below the screen.

"Isn't it the five lead singers?Why isn't Tiffany here?" Cha Guanglong was a little puzzled.

Liu Kewei thought for a while and replied: "Tiffany is mainly responsible for the mid-bass, and this song should be dominated by high tones." ”

The melody sounds, and Taeyeon is the first to raise the microphone.

Liu Kewei was wrong, and he was right. This song is "over_the_rainbow" ("Flying Over the Rainbow"), the original version is a bass-based, rich and atmospheric song, but it is interpreted by these four girls into another ethereal taste floating in the clouds. Starting with Taeyeon, Sunny, Seo Hyun, and Jessica soar high notes one after the other. Even after one round, when Taeyeon opened her mouth for the second time, she sang "somewhere_over_the_rainbow_bluebirds_fly. At the end of the note, the captain, who is recognized as the strongest singer, showed a slightly difficult expression on his face.

The little girl on the screen shivered in the snowstorm and sat in the corner trying to breathe into her hands. Tiffany, dressed in a white bandeau dress, appears with Wia hanging from her, shining like an angel flying over the little girl. The little girl looked at Tiffany flying in the air and stood up with a look of surprise on her face.

Then there are Yoo-ri, Hyo-yeon, and so-young, who are also angels hanging on Wia, appearing above the little girl and flying to the other end. Yun'a, who appeared at the end, smiled sweetly, raised her hands to make a heart shape on her head, and at this time, the little girl in the image also grew angel wings and flew up, Yun'a followed her like an escort, and the two flew into the sky along the rainbow bridge on the screen.

"This is the theme song for The Wizard of Oz?" Cha Kwang Ryu said, "I remember watching it on TV when I was a kid. ”

"Well, I've seen it too. Let's talk about the singing characteristics of these lead singers, I'll come first. Liu Kewei changed the topic and said, "I think the highest vocal range should be Jessica." ”

"Agreed. Che Guanglong nodded and continued, "I think if you only talk about the true sound, in fact, Sunny's timbre is sweeter than Jessica's, but Jessica's falsetto is just like the old Duan said, too bewitching." ”

"Singing skills don't just look at the high notes," the fat man interjected, "Taeyeon's treble is enough, the middle and low tones are also very solid, and the emotions are full and full, and the first singing skill should be deserved." ”

"Xu Xian's timbre is too bad, and she should be the least recognizable of the five lead singers, although her pitch is very stable. Che Guanglong added.

The fat man shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't think Taeyeon's timbre is recognizable, but her emotional investment is enough to make up for this, and the feeling of singing is different from others." ”

Liu Kewei suddenly smiled: "I remember seeing a saying somewhere that Taeyeon is full of emotions when she sings, like a woman who has been married seven times. ”

"Hahaha," the fat man was also happy, "don't say it, I think I really feel something similar." ”
