Picture 114 If you are a man

Mai Shiraishi's recording didn't go very well, and the song "Little Lucky" sounded very comfortable, gentle, and pleasant, and at first glance it felt quite simple. The treble doesn't seem to be very high, the rhythm is more than enough, not like Jay Chou's song to catch the rhythm beat, plus the original singer Tian Fuzhen's self-contained, outstanding, and unique voice and style in the Chinese music scene, with a deep singing foundation accumulated from the SHE period.

This slow-paced love song is simply tailor-made for Tian Fuzhen, and it fits her voice and vocal range perfectly. It can be said that apart from her, there is no one in the Chinese music scene who is more suitable for this song than her.

A match made in heaven.

It sounds very simple, but in fact, I didn't know how difficult it was when I sang it, Jun Watanabe deliberately imitated Tian Fuzhen's singing voice and skills in the demo, relying on that extremely powerful talent, but Mai Shiraishi couldn't.

She felt that the pitch was too high, and although the tempo was not fast, it was varied, and one negligence would not catch the key. It's either fast or slow, and many times because the ventilation sound is too loud....... I saw the producer, Kazuhito Kikuchi, shaking his head at her in front of the soundproof glass.

It means no, it doesn't meet his requirements.

When recording Nogizaka's single, I had never had such a difficult experience. At that time, it was almost the same as singing three or four times, and the producer would choose the best one for post-mixing production, because it was a group group, so there were not many lyrics distributed, and there was no problem of lack of breath.

But when she was solo, her lack of strength was exposed, making her embarrassed.

It would be nice if Watanabe-kun was there, or if his smile could give her strength.

When she shouted to stop for the seventh time, Mai Shiraishi was a little discouraged.

"I really can't finish recording in the morning...... Sorry, teacher, it's all my own problem!"

"Let's go back and practice well, you don't have to come over in the afternoon, we will record tomorrow morning." ”

Kazuhito Kikuchi said with understanding, his attitude is very kind, of course, he is not like this usually. One is Jun Watanabe's explanation, and the other is that his attitude towards beautiful women and ordinary people is different.

Otherwise, do you think that the dignified gold medal music producer has no temper?

"Got it, thank you very much!" Mai Shiraishi leaned over, feeling a little guilty for wasting the teacher's precious time.

"Actually...... You don't sing that badly, it's just that "Kazuhito Kikuchi doesn't know how to say it." Originally, according to his idea, idols, singing is almost normal, and he is not a singer, so he can't be asked to be a regular singer, just sing almost. After a little repair in the later stage, everyone does this, and Kazuhito Kikuchi doesn't need to ask for trouble and trouble.

Is it possible to ask an idol to sing by leaps and bounds, change their face, and refresh within a few days?

Unrealistic!

"What's wrong?" Mai Shiraishi's misty eyes and puzzled expression.

"It's not that kid yet, saying that you are the face of Nogizaka, you can't follow ordinary standards, you have to demand it by the standards of singers. Actually, I don't want to make everyone unhappy, so why bother?" Kazuhito Kikuchi sighed, that stinky boy can sing well by himself, but don't treat everyone else as if he was like him, singing is as easy as drinking water?

"With the singer's request?" Mai Shiraishi was a little ignorant, singer!

He seemed to have said something. ”

"What?"

Even though Nogizaka is a school, he hopes that after graduation, the people in it will at least sing no worse than ordinary singers. Nogizaka is not an ordinary idol, not a mess like AKB that doesn't even invite a vocal teacher, you should demand yourself with stricter standards!

Kazuhito Kikuchi felt that Jun's idea was somewhat idealistic and unrealistic.

If you can be a singer, who wants to be an idol?

If you can be an actor, who wants to be an idol?

If you can have a brilliant star, who wants to go to the sea?

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.

"Thank you, teacher, but Watanabe-kun's words sound reasonable. ”

Everyone else knows Mai Shiraishi, knows that she is the face of Nogizaka, has good handshake grades, sells photos very well, and looks good, just like that, but no one has ever said that she sings beautifully!

Except for die-hard meals!

When it comes to singing, she is really far worse than Ikuta Erika, not to mention Huahua's outstanding piano, I don't know which is better than Xu Xian in girlhood?

There is also a big gap compared with Nakamoto Hikaka, Nojo Aiwei, Kawamura Mahiro (rotty), etc.

Even compared with Nanase Nishino, who also became an idol halfway, she was evaluated by Yasushi Akimoto as not as innocent and natural as her.

Singing is not as good as Nanase Nishino!

I didn't think Akimoto's evaluation was cruel before, but in retrospect, it was like a knife piercing my heart, and it was bloody.

Bidding farewell to Kikuchi Kazuhito in a trance, he went out of Ai Hui Music Building.

Ms. Xiyuan, an agent in her early thirties, comforted her: "It's okay, I'm not in a good state today, and it's the same if I record it tomorrow." Mr. Kazuhito Kikuchi is more demanding, so don't take it to heart. ”

"It's okay, I'll go to the company in the afternoon to continue practicing, you don't have to follow me, go back and rest, it's hard." Mai Shiraishi didn't believe it, and was so stumped by a song.

After having lunch outside with my agent, I returned to Roppongi's dormitory alone, and Nanami Hashimoto had just returned from outside, and when we met, I asked:

"How's the song going?"

"Hey, I've been hit, I've been shouted by Mr. Kazuhito Kikuchi several times to stop, and I can't record anymore, let me go again tomorrow!"

"Wouldn't it?The demo doesn't sound very difficult.,And I've listened to you sing it a few times before.,It's not a big problem.,It's not a big problem.,It's not over with a little fix.,That Kikuchi Kazuhito must be a middle-aged uncle with a bit of girly turtle hair!"

Nana Hashimoto did not complain.

"It's not a girl, but it's quite gentle, like Mr. Teach. ”

"Quite strict?" Hashimoto was shocked, she had never had a solo appearance, but she also knew how big the gap between herself and a regular singer was.

She is not determined to do this, and she is just an idol, she doesn't have much pressure on herself, but the pressure comes more from the outside, from the expectations of the fans, and she doesn't want to disappoint those who have spent money to support her.

"Well, but I won't admit defeat, take a rest first, and then practice again in the afternoon, I have made an appointment with the vocal teacher. "Mai Shiraishi is full of fighting spirit.

"It's long overdue!" Nana Hashimoto touched her little face, "Be more confident, you can crush 80% of the actresses in the entertainment industry with your face alone, what's there to be afraid of? Hey, where is the domineering?"

"If you want to be domineering, you can just shoot three shots on the bridge yourself!" Mai Shiraishi thinks that it is perfectly fine for Nana Min to go to Takarazuka to play a male servant.

"My body...... Even I'm afraid, so don't make trouble!"

It's not that Mr. Akimoto didn't make a suggestion to make her c, but after thinking about it again, she still refused.

If she doesn't want to do this herself, she still serves as a c, and she robs other opportunities to be idol members wholeheartedly, which makes her feel ashamed.

Of course, the most important thing is the physical problem, which is weaker and weaker from generation to generation, and when she comes to her, if she gives others the impression of a sick seedling...... Absent from the performance, absent from the press conference, absent from the group ...... Is there such a center?

Just thinking about it scared me, and although I was a little unwilling, I still rejected the opportunity of C.

It's like now, it's good to protect the Dharma left and right, accompany and support this group of lovely friends to move forward together!

Except for Mai Sheep, she didn't tell anyone about these things, and buried them deep in her heart as a secret.

"(I'm sorry)!"

Mai Shiraishi's body has been very good since she was a child, so she can't experience the feeling of being weak and sick like Old Bridge.

"It's not that serious, but I just came back from dinner at Asuka's house," Nana Hashimoto said without saying a word.

"The Asuka family?"

"Well, she always invited me over to eat, saying how good my aunt's craftsmanship was, but when I went today, it was really great, I ate three dinners in a row, and now my stomach is swollen. And I also met her two brothers, which is a fun family!"

Nana Hashimoto said that she was a little envious, and she couldn't experience that kind of fun when she grew up in a single-parent family.

"Asuka...... Hmph, you didn't invite me!" Mai Shiraishi was a little jealous.

However, you don't seem to have finished saying something just now?Mai Shiraishi looked at her suspiciously.

Nana Hashimoto did not pretend to be casual and said:

"Nana Sai took a photo album today, and the director seems to be going together!"

......

Silent silence.

If you don't speak, is it because you still have him in your heart?

Nana Hashimoto looked at the unconcealable loss on her face, and felt a little distressed, so she stepped forward and hugged her in her arms.

"Nana Min"

"Huh?"

"If only you were a man!"

......
