Chapter 44: Hypnotized in the Midsummer Lightyear (1)
Because it wasn't a weekend, there weren't many people in the bar at eight o'clock, and the warm-up was said to be a male singer from a senior Fudan college student playing and singing on the keyboard. Because the Forest of Lights is really not a top bar, most of the people attracted are students, and white-collar workers who have just entered the society, and the consumption is not very high, so naturally they can't afford to hire Niu B's bands and singers.
In order to cater to the tastes of consumers, singers and bands often choose to sing some popular songs, which are saliva songs. Even if it's a little rock-oriented, the Forest of Lights can't stay out of it in order to make money, death, heavy metal, that can't be, pop rock and folk can survive in the bar. What songs, what to sing, if you stubbornly adhere to your ideals, then please find your next job.
In the face of money, every musician is alone.
And this male singer is working hard to sing some popular bitter love songs.
Cheng Xiaoyu and the others occupied a remote platform to listen to the song, Brother Chen sent a fruit plate, drinks and some snacks, and no one in a group of high school students could drink.
The male singer didn't applaud a few times after singing, but Cheng Xiaoyu was not stingy with his applause, of course, he didn't think how good he was singing, in his opinion, such outdated singing skills and arrangements were simply the scene of a car accident for the performance. But he can't use his own level beyond the times to ask others to be right? At least others are still singing seriously, so they should gain a little respect.
Waiting for Xia Shamo to come, Cheng Xiaoyu pulled Xia Shamo to go backstage to make up, the forest of lights that belongs to the Qing bar category is not a small bar in Fudan Bar Street, the entire first floor and the second floor are about 700 square meters, and more than 30 tables of guests can be seated in the booth and scattered seats. It's still easy to accommodate a hundred people.
Because it was a bar performance, Cheng Xiaoyu painted a dark smoky makeup for Xia Shamo, because the coolness of the dark smoky makeup can be perfectly combined with Xia Shamo's short hair and cold temperament when singing, creating an unexpected effect.
When Cheng Xiaoyu and Xia Shamo finished painting makeup, they picked up the setting spray and made a hairstyle with Xia Shamo, Xia Shamo's short hair is not the same as Xu Qinning's short hair, to be precise, it should be medium and long hair, and Xu Qinning's short hair is almost the same as a boy's medium and long hair. Cheng Xiaoyu separated Xia Shamo's bangs from Sanqi, hung the little one behind her ears, and after spraying and shaping, sprinkle some fluffy powder on the top of her hair to make it a little fluffy and messy, and the whole thing is almost the same.
After asking Xia Shamo to stand up, he pulled the white shirt in her school uniform out of the skirt, tied a narrow black tie to her, and asked her to lift the skirt up and make it shorter, and finally took a pair of black football socks with two white stripes on the top, and asked Xia Shamo to change them. When Xia Shamo came, she was still wearing jeans in her skirt, so Cheng Xiaoyu withdrew and waited for Xia Shamo to change into socks.
Cheng Xiaoyu saw that the time was almost up, so she knocked on the door and told Xia Shamo to go to the lobby of the bar first and wait for her at the performance stage.
Xia Shamo said hello, and Cheng Xiaoyu turned around and went to the hall.
When I got to the hall, I found that the seats on the first floor were basically full, and it seemed that the photos of Xia Shamo outside still played a big role.
Seeing that it was about to be time to perform on stage, Cheng Xiaoyu and the three of them were not very nervous, but Wang Ou was the most nervous, looking at the exit of the backstage and repeatedly chanting, "Why hasn't Xia Shamo come out yet." ”
Chen Jinglong sat with a table of regular customers, talking and laughing, and drinking together, in fact, he was also a little apprehensive. Because Cheng Xiaoyu and they are all original singers, this is also a big adventure for Chen Jinglong. As a music practitioner, he thinks Cheng Xiaoyu's performance is very good, but as a bar owner, he really doesn't know how receptive the general audience is to this form of music that is not popular at the moment. To be honest, it wasn't because Xia Shamo was very beautiful after cross-dressing, and Chen Jinglong didn't dare to let Cheng Xiaoyu perform in a bar. Most people have a high tolerance for beautiful women, even if they don't necessarily appreciate the song, beautiful girls can always appreciate it.
When Xia Shamo's slender figure appeared at the door of the backstage, Cheng Xiaoyu and the others went on stage to check the equipment first.
Before Xia Shamo stepped onto the stage, the applause and whistles in the bar rang out.
Black socks with two white bars and white low-top canvas shoes adorn a pair of eye-catching legs. The red plaid skirt and white shirt are deepened by the blue slim-fitting suit school uniform, which looks lively and pure, and then this dress is mixed with the abrupt beautiful face painted with smoky makeup, and it becomes an unrivaled charm, which is the perfect combination of angels and demons.
Xia Shamo came to the stage, took a light breath, grabbed the microphone stand, looked back at Cheng Xiaoyu, and signaled that it was ready.
Because it was the first time to perform in a bar, the first song had to catch people's ears, so Cheng Xiaoyu chose "Hypnosis" with a slightly faster rhythm, which is very suitable for performing in a bar for this kind of occasion.
When the spotlights were all on Xia Shamo, Chen Haoran's drum set sounded, the electric guitar came in, and Xia Shamo seemed to hum casually and floated in the microphone, like a gust of autumn wind.
When Xia Shamo first started practicing this song, she couldn't grasp the indifferent feelings in the song. Cheng Xiaoyu demonstrated several times, teaching her to mix a relatively large component of falsetto into the real voice, and at the same time to make the voice very close to the nasal cavity, so that whenever it is a little higher, you need to use the falsetto intake, and you can directly enter the nasal cavity with a light belt, releasing a falsetto that is easy to obtain, but the timbre quality is okay. This technique of mixing true and false sounds is the key point of non-style singing.
Xia Shamo's first sentence amazed the whole bar, and there is no Wang Fei in China in this era who is like thecranberries lead singer DLORIES's pharyngeal voice. Faye Wong belongs to a typical light soprano, especially the song "Hypnosis" to sing a blurry and ethereal feeling, Xia Shamo, under the guidance of Cheng Xiaoyu, grasped the characteristics of Faye Wong's singing, the use of true and false voice conversion and gas voice.
So when Xia Shamo's first sentence, the taste of the first bite of cake, and the exit, I am used to listening to the current pop songs with greasy and greasy trills, and then listening to this clean, mellow and clear singing voice, it is like eating ice cream on dog days, and I am comfortable to the heart. The noisy bar was quiet after a sentence, and everyone stopped talking and listened to the music quietly.
The taste of the first bite of cake
The comfort that comes with the first toy
The sun goes up, the sun goes down, ice cream sheds tears
The taste of the second bite of cake
The second toy brings comfort
The wind blows the popcorn so beautiful
From beginning to end, I forgot who remembered whom
Count again and again from beginning to end
Is there any desertation?
It's here
Kissing someone on the mouth for the first time
The first time you get sick, you have to drink a potion
The sun goes down, the sun goes down, the ice cream sheds tears
Kiss someone else on the mouth for the second time
The second time I got sick, I needed to drink a potion
The wind blows the popcorn so beautiful
From beginning to end, I forgot who remembered whom
Count again and again from beginning to end
Is there any desertation?
Suddenly it dawned, suddenly it was dark, and so on
Go away, fly high, one, two, three, four, five, six, and long live
From beginning to end, I forgot who remembered whom
Count again and again from beginning to end
Is there any desertation?
Laa......
When the cheer at the end sounds, everyone's has been conquered, and this kind of singing across time and space has brought everyone a new experience, and this experience is incomparably wonderful and beautiful. The warm applause lasted for a long time, until Xia Shamo opened her mouth and said softly, "Thank you." It gradually subsided.
In another time and space, Wang Fei dominated the throne of the queen of the Chinese orchestra for more than ten years with her singing voice, and it was not until Zhang Huimei came out that she could barely have an opponent who could barely fight.
In fact, in terms of singing skills alone, Wang Fei is definitely not the strongest, but her personality is too strong, so strong that even the music can reveal that kind of cold arrogance. And she is a very smart and singing singer, which is reflected in her musicality is quite good, musicality is a very virtual thing, to put it bluntly, she knows how to sing to be good, and her sensitivity to the melody and style of music is quite high, including the feeling of music, the sensitivity to melody, and the understanding of melody changes. It is the key to singing good songs.
For example, some people have never done music at home, but he sings well with one mouth, which is a good sense of innate musicality, although he can't say why, but when he opens his mouth to sing, where is it connected, where it is smooth, where it is broken, where it is mixed, where it is strong, where it is weak, it is very reasonable and very ear-catching. It is difficult to sing a difficult song like "Cold War", and only Wang Fei will take it out and sing it on the spot, and sing it quite well, which is why her musicality plays a supporting role, because she already has a feeling for this kind of melody, like having a bottom in her heart about a relationship, and she will not sing it chaotically.
In this way, for Xia Shamo, who has strong basic singing skills and a very good sense of musicality, it is very easy to imitate, especially with Cheng Xiaoyu, a super cheat, to guide by the side. Especially in this time and space, there is no non-style singing, and it is strange that such a singing does not detonate the audience.
After this song, Chen Jinglong's hanging heart was completely put down, and the acquaintances sitting next to him applauded and even clapped their hands red, and kept asking Chen Jinglong what the girl's origin was, when Chen Jinglong said that he was still a senior in high school, the guests at this table immediately took out 100 yuan to buy 10 roses, and asked the bartender to insert them into the vase on the left side of the performance stage.
This is the rule of Huaxia Bar, and it is also a benefit for singers, as long as someone spends money to buy roses for singers, the money goes to singers. Therefore, whether the singing is good or not, you can generally know how many roses you have seen when you end the scene. Of course, if you look good, you can get a lot, but in the end, it's more important whether you sing well or not.
Before the next song is sung, the vase has already been filled, and the bartender can only take out the roses and count them, and send the flowers back to the bar, otherwise the next song will be finished, and the flowers will not be enough, which is the first time in the Forest of Lights.
