Chapter 759: August Weiyang (5)
Although Xiaoyu did not eat half a bowl of rice, his happiness filled his heart, and this kind of spiritual satisfaction could not be given by the satisfaction of the stomach. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
For Cheng Xiaoyu, this kind of ordinary daily life is the life he yearns for.
Happily drove the car to Pudong all the way, Cheng Xiaoyu took Xia Shamo and drove towards the Expo Park, while driving and explaining the key points of this song to Xia Shamo along the way, the original writing method is still the writing method of pop music, not according to the writing method of folk songs, but the tune is more tactful and melodious, but the original singing uses the national singing method to interpret it, and Cheng Xiaoyu also feels that it must be sung in the national singing method, otherwise this song will not show the atmosphere.
Xia Shamo got into the car and took over the score written by Cheng Xiaoyu, looking at the lyrics and staves, she felt that the words were really well written, she hummed silently in her heart, and felt that the tenderness that could not be dissolved was entwined in her heart.
Because she had to perform it for Zhang Luyang when she arrived at the Expo Park, she had very little time to familiarize Xia Shamo with this song, and Xia Shamo began to try to sing a cappella on the way, and Cheng Xiaoyu came to help her correct some omissions, fortunately, Xia Shamo has a stunt like "absolute pitch", so it is still very fast to get started.
"Absolute pitch" is the ability to accurately model the sound you hear, and to be able to correctly translate sounds into concepts or symbols into sounds in your brain. The former is talent, while the latter not only requires talent, but also requires systematic and rigorous training to achieve the mutual conversion of voice and concept.
Most gifted soprano singers have "absolute pitch", which is very rare, and unlike the "relative pitch" acquired after long-term training, "relative pitch" refers to the feeling that one note can be inferred from another sound from a known note, or that they are familiar with the pitch relationship of each note in the key, and can accurately sing the score of a certain piece of music they hear, but the difference is the transformation of the physical pitch of the sound without a concept.
People with the talent of "absolute pitch" often listen to the song once, and they can sing it inseparably enough, so it is not difficult for Xia Shamo to learn this song in a short time, but it is difficult to sing it.
Xia Shamo first learned bel canto singing from her mother, she has not learned Chinese folk singing, but the Chinese folk singing actually originated from bel canto, the biggest difference is that the pronunciation position is relatively backward, pay attention to the wide vocal range and the unity of the vocal area, and then pay attention to deep breathing, low laryngeal position, throat opening, voice covering and concentration.
The Chinese folk singing method is based on the Chinese national language, and the singing is characterized by a beautiful and crisp voice, sweet and bright, bright and bright, and the charm of the line is characterized by the integration of emotion, voice, words and cavity, and is accompanied by physical performance.
At present, the singing method that puts the national charm in the first place in the concept of singing is the national singing method, "the dead song can be sung alive, let the cavity rhyme, the cavity turns with the emotion, and the words follow the shape of the cavity", which fully explains the charm of folk songs.
It is not difficult to move the vocal position back, but it is still unscientific to completely sing the charm of national singing, but there is also a key point that the writing of this song is the writing of popular songs, so it is not necessary for Xia Shamo to sing a textbook folk song feeling.
Of course, learning does not mean understanding, in order to help Xia Shamo understand this song, Cheng Xiaoyu also sang it, but he has never been exposed to bel canto singing at all, and he sings it as a complete pop song, and under his guidance, Xia Shamo sings between the lines, which is sweet and pure.
When Xia Shamo began to sing seriously, even Su Yuxi was amazed by Xia Shamo's talent, she didn't have this ability, she had a "fixed pitch", she could start singing without relying on the band, this is also the ability that all singers dream of, and singers with this ability are of another level.
Cheng Xiaoyu originally just planned to do his best to obey the destiny of heaven, but he didn't expect Xia Shamo to be able to sing to such an extent in such a short time, which really made him a little overjoyed, and felt that it was not completely impossible to change songs.
The skill of the original singer of this song is undoubted, especially in the high register, the interpretation is quite invincible, but the interpretation of the original song is too textbook, although the basic skills are impeccable, but the personality is also erased. And this song with a very Chinese charm is sung too sweetly, of course, this is also because of the limitation of singing, there is no way for ordinary singers to interpret this song like this.
And Xia Shamo, under the guidance of Cheng Xiaoyu, leaned on the ethereal feeling of singing, reducing the sweetness, and singing more charmingly than the original song, even if Cheng Xiaoyu is picky, he can sing to this extent in a short time, and he is very satisfied.
When they arrived at the Expo Park, Su Yuxi went to rehearse first, Cheng Xiaoyu and Xia Shamo pondered in the car for half an hour, and Cheng Xiaoyu took Xia Shamo to Zhang Luyang with confidence.
Although he had seen Xia Shamo on the video, Zhang Luyang was still a little surprised when he looked at Xia Shamo who bowed to her slightly, because Xia Shamo standing on the stage and the Xia Shamo in front of him gave him a completely different feeling, not a difference in appearance, but a difference in aura.
Xia Shamo in life is not as amazing as on the stage, gentle and quiet, delicate like a small flower, which makes people want to take care of it, Xia Shamo also speaks softly and softly.
But it's completely different on stage, it's just full firepower, her posture is tall like an oak tree, no matter what situation she faces when singing, she is not shocked, she has no desire, and she has no desire to be rigid, as if she is sitting on the elegant and solemn of the world, she is the king who holds the authority on the stage, because she has everything, so she has no desire, so her talent exudes a powerful aura.
Zhang Luyang, who has read countless people, likes Xia Shamo more and more, the simple and unpretentious Xia Shamo seems to concentrate all the advantages of a Chinese girl, well-behaved, polite, gentle and elegant, and his daughter, like a boy's character, is not very obedient, Zhang Luyang is usually busy, and he is also negligent in discipline, which makes him feel very emotional, saying that his daughter is an intimate little padded jacket, and his daughter is a hedgehog full of needles, and the thorns are still facing inward, which makes him worry at all.
This Zhang Luyang plans to ask Xia Shamo to sing Cheng Xiaoyu's new song, and then try his best to persuade her to sing "Yu Jiangnan", at this moment he is quite satisfied with Xia Shamo's appearance, and feels that Xia Shamo is a representative of a girl with Chinese characteristics. Su Yuxi is different, the beauty is beautiful to the extreme, but it feels a little mixed-race, and it looks too cold, far less affinity than Xia Shamo.
At this time, Zhang Luyang's heart has completely shifted from the middle of Zhang Xia and Xia Shamo to Xia Shamo, but he has no intention of changing the song, he doesn't believe in Cheng Xiaoyu's creative ability, but the time is too short, he has to restart the song in a week, and it is still the opening song of such an important party, the orchestra and singers don't know if it's too late to run in the old songs, let alone a new song.
If the time can be advanced by a month, Zhang Luyang will still consider it, but if it is a month in advance, he will not be afraid of Jiang Yingying's loss of voice, how can it be cured in two or three weeks.
Time is urgent, Zhang Luyang immediately called the director team of the party to come to the meeting, when he learned that he wanted to listen to a new song written by Cheng Xiaoyu, it might be replaced, and suddenly the conference room was a little explosive, although Zhang Luyang was in a high position in the director group, and said the same, but such an important party, everyone still persuaded Zhang Luyang to think twice, after all, the business trip pool is not only detrimental to Zhang Luyang's reputation, but also an unacceptable mistake for them.
And the director team not only has the people brought by Zhang Luyang, but also several official figures, although it is Zhang Luyang who makes the decision, but they still have the right to interfere in such a major matter.
Originally, Zhang Luyang invited Xia Shamo to sing the opening, but there was a certain amount of controversy, although Xia Shamo had won the "Grammy", but she was too young and inexperienced, and the stability of this kind of party was the most important thing, everyone was worried that Xia Shamo would not be able to hold the scene, or if something went wrong, it would affect the director team. It was only because of Jiang Yingying's recommendation and Zhang Luyang's proposal that everyone reluctantly agreed.
Most of the directors are inclined to ask Zhang Xia to be a replacement, in contrast, although Zhang Xia is not as famous and popular as Xia Shamo in the world, but in addition, everything is more suitable than Xia Shamo, and the most important thing is that Zhang Xia has very rich experience in participating in large-scale domestic performances, which is much more reliable and stable than Xia Shamo.
At such a party, even if something goes wrong with Zhang Xia, the director team does not need to bear the pressure, but if Xia Shamo is used, in case there is a leak, it is completely their responsibility for misemployment.
Therefore, at this time, when Zhang Luyang said that he wanted to audition Xia Shamo to sing Cheng Xiaoyu's new song, and it might be replaced, almost everyone firmly expressed their opposition.
The stage director said: "Director Zhang, I don't question Miss Xia's singing ability, but after all, she is not a professional singer of folk songs, and it would be a risk to let her play. ”
The director of the Shanghai Cultural Bureau, who served as the assistant director, also said: "Yes! Director Zhang, even if Miss Xia sings well and Director Cheng writes well, there is not enough time now! Now there is a great risk of having to change people, and if you have to change the song, this risk is unimaginable, and I can't agree to this kind of thing." ”
"Changing the song definitely doesn't work, I think it's better to ask Mr. Zhang to sing, even if Mr. Zhang is not well-known in the world, it is better than using Xia Shamo to make everyone scared, I think even if Xia Shamo is a little famous, the effect of inviting her to sing is not much better than Zhang Xia's singing, for a little popularity, it is really not worth taking such a big risk. ”
Everyone objected, Zhang Luyang couldn't help frowning and said: "I am also inclined to change in my heart!, but now it's just a audition, why are you so calm? And even if you want to change, the lighting and dance group don't need to change, Director Cheng said that the new song is very suitable for all this, and it can be used completely, of course, it's just a trial for now, and I really want to change it to discuss this issue." I'm sure you don't even have the courage to listen........"
When everyone heard Zhang Luyang say this, they didn't continue to make noise, but everyone made up their minds in their hearts that they must resolutely dissuade Zhang Luyang from taking risks.
A group of people went out from the conference room to the rehearsal hall arranged by the Expo Cultural Center, where was there a piano, and where Cheng Xiaoyu and Xia Shamo were waiting for the director team to audition.
When everyone arrived, Cheng Xiaoyu was sitting in front of the piano, helping Xia Shamo to accompany, because it was a cappella singing in the car just now, so Xia Shamo was only trying to sing quietly at this time, finding the best time to feel and adjust the ventilation.
Zhang Luyang and the members of the onlookers of the party director team first deducted impression points as soon as they saw this posture, obviously this new song, the singers themselves are not proficient, if it weren't for Cheng Xiaoyu's fame now, it is estimated that they would not be interested in continuing to listen to it.
Walking into the rehearsal hall, Zhang Luyang did not interrupt the rehearsal of Cheng Xiaoyu and Xia Shamo, and the two didn't care about the people who came in at all.
Xia Shamo also knew that the director team was here, but she didn't turn around, she still held the piano, held the score, and looked at Cheng Xiaoyu.
Xia Shamo's singing started without warning, plus Zhang Luyang's seven or eight members of the director team sat on the chair absentmindedly, each thinking about their hearts, Zhang Luyang was thinking about how to persuade Xia Shamo to sing "Yu Jiangnan", while the other members of the director team were thinking, even if the song was perfect, they had to convince Zhang Luyang that he couldn't change the song, and it was best to change his mind and use Zhang Xia as a replacement.
But unconsciously, everyone put away their hearts and ears pricked up, this sound has the elegant freshness of spring flowers, and the song of lotus cicadas on the summer solstice
The small jasper, with the gentle and plump yellow flowers all over the ground in autumn, and the vague fragrance of hibernating pear blossoms all over the ground.
In Xia Shamo's gentle and gentle whispers, they felt the beginning of spring, the tranquility of summer, the laziness of autumn, and the blur of winter.
Time lit up the boat lights, the boat lights reflected the Huangpu River at night, and the long Huangpu River is like the long river of years, flowing through the spring fruit, summer long, autumn yellow, winter Tibetan thoughts.
..............................
The next day, the national media broke out an astonishing news, and when there were 8 days to start before this important party in China, the director team of the "G20 Summit" announced that it would adjust the program list and change the originally planned "Yu Jiangnan" to a new song composed by Cheng Xiaoyu and sung by Xia Shamo.
As soon as such news came out, it caused an uproar in public opinion. Although the media did not criticize it for reasons of political correctness, it still vaguely expressed concern.
The criticism on the Internet is much more unscrupulous, and the people who eat melons have said that there must be an ulterior py transaction between Director Zhang and Director Cheng..........
