Chapter 13 The troubles of young Cheng Xiaoyu
Of course, Cheng Xiaoyu would not take this kind of pediatric naïve drama to heart. Not to be happy with things, not to be sad with oneself is his current state of life. But this doesn't mean that he doesn't attach importance to this art show, after all, if he says it, he splashes out the water, he doesn't want to really go to ** run circles, Shanghai in December is still a little cold.
But at the moment he doesn't have any ideas, he's not a fool, and he knows that simply playing the piano won't work. You'll have to figure out another way to get through. It's just that now he doesn't even have a foil for him, and things get a little tricky. This made him miss the fox friends and dog friends in the band, rehearsing together, drinking beer together, playing League of Legends all night together, and standing under the female dormitory of Normal University to sing love songs together.
Cheng Xiaoyu walked in the silent alley, the sycamore on the street dropped yellow leaves, squeaked when stepping on it, and not far away there was an old man pushing a cart selling roasted sweet potatoes. Holding hands and wearing the same scarf, walking sweetly and warmly in the late autumn afternoon. The not-so-blazing sunlight passed through the high-rise buildings, driving away Cheng Xiaoyu's lonely shadow. He looked up at the planes gliding across the light blue sky, and the distant travelers returning to their warm homes. This moment made Cheng Xiaoyu feel that the world was so gorgeous, and all the ordinary were so beautiful, when he recalled those happy times and couldn't help but smile.
Cheng Xiaoyu, who had red eyes, patted his head and shook it vigorously, wanting to shake off the past life that was entangled in his heart like a vine, remembering the past is better than grasping the present, I will live a more wonderful life, so that you who can't see each other don't have to miss me!
When he arrived at the Fudan Music Department, Cheng Xiaoyu said in his heart that he should not think about the art show for the time being, he had to practice the piano first, after all, 35 yuan an hour can be luxurious but not wasted. Greeted Uncle Huang, a middle-aged man guarding the piano room, and he entered the piano room he had booked in advance. Press down on the distractions in your mind. Cheng Xiaoyu began to routinely play Canon, Bach's 12 equal temperaments, and Clementi's piano etudes.
After training to improve the fingers' adaptability to various techniques, Cheng Xiaoyu will play some of Beethoven and Mozart's Piano Sonatas. Liszt's "Dream of Love", No. 3, "Hungarian Rhapsody", No. 11. As for those difficult showmanship works, he has never touched them. It wasn't time for him to touch those things yet.
Cheng Xiaoyu specially ended his classical piano practice ahead of schedule today, and aimlessly played some popular pianos in his memory, so that he could think about the art show. For him, this is not only a response to the provocation of the squad leader Li Liwei, but also a test for himself, he wants to see what he can do in music now. He is a perfectionist, if you don't do it, you have to do it, you have to do it.
Cheng Xiaoyu knows that pure classical piano performance is not his forte, and even if he can play Rachmaninoff's "Piano Concerto No. 3", which ranks first in the top ten difficult pieces, how many people can appreciate it? As a music director, he knows the importance of catching people's attention, and the more artistic things are, the higher the music. What's more, he can't compare to Su Yuxi at all now.
If he only plays those beautiful classic pop piano pieces, the shock is definitely not enough, and if he does not bring in a symphony orchestra, he will definitely not achieve the effect he wants.
Piano playing plus singing? Cheng Xiaoyu thought about it and decided to give it a try, he didn't know what the current situation of this voice was. tried to play Dong Chou's "Sunny Day" again, this song was very much liked by him in his previous life, and he once picked up the guitar score. And now he can play it on the piano at will, thanks to his magic skills, which is the ability to memorize and pick up music like BUG. The simple piano accompaniment was a bit lacking in expressive power, but at the moment he couldn't do anything, and when he played it a second time, he began to sing Sunny Day.
In his previous life, Cheng Xiaoyu did not learn vocal music professionally and systematically, and completely relied on his own exploration. I have taken a lot of detours, from the original original vocal method to the combined chest and abdomen breathing method that I learned from a professional teacher.
If you want to learn to sing, you must first understand the three basic elements of singing (tone, loudness, and timbre), what is breath, and what is the fulcrum of breathing. How it happens, how it breathes, and how it resonates. Because there is a limit to people's true voices (the limit of boys' true voices is about G2, and girls' C3 is about C3, which also varies from person to person, we can also sing a2, b2, c3, d3 or even higher C6 tones, which are mixed voices from a professional point of view, and C6, which is difficult for ordinary people to reach, is generally falsetto).
Take the difficulty of the song "Love When You Die" as an example, that is, the continuous high-pitched bite of C3 in the chorus part (love at the end of the road) (love to the end of the road) is all C3 bite, not incisive "no" D3 bite. "Love When You Die" total: 8 D341 C325 B242 A225 G2. This song has a total of about 200 words of treble, which means that more than half of the 368-word "Love When You Die" exceeds the limit of boys' true voice (the highest note on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is G#5). There is no way to sing this song without learning the correct singing skills, pay attention to singing instead of roaring, and sing using the resonance of the chest cavity and head cavity to make sounds.
Of course, singing is not just about high notes, nor is it about singing good songs with high notes, but it is undeniable that the current high-pitched repertoire singing is the easiest to catch people's ears. But there are a number of techniques that are impossible to achieve without practice, such as the singing of the soprano (the term vitas for boys does not have a soprano is falsetto, which is somewhat similar to the soprano), Mariah Carey's famous dolphin voice and the singing of the treble triplet, and so on. And scientific training can not only improve the vocal range, but also open up more parts of your body to resonate.
Cheng Xiaoyu's voice foundation in this life is not bad, the voice is relatively thick, and the sound quality is relatively dumb, which type does not belong to a very clear and bright type, but the tearing is stable, such a sound thickness is enough, but often the vocal range is not wide enough, and it cannot reach enough height. A few days of training is certainly not enough to get yourself on stage to sing a powerful song. Because broadening his vocal range is not a matter of one or two days, he now has innate theoretical knowledge, but sometimes singing depends on whether God rewards him or not. Typically, Mariah Carey can reach C6 treble, and it is hard to imagine that she only received simple vocal exercises as a child (mainly happening, resonance). Of course, these are only a few cases, and we must not forget that her mother was the principal singer of the New York Opera House.
Although the sound of this song is not too high, it is very difficult to sing well, and you must master the breath skillfully, especially when entering the chorus, the song will be stuck if you change the voice If you don't change the voice, it is very suffocating, if you change the voice and the traces are very large, it is easy to break the sound, and you must skillfully change the voice smoothly. And now he can't even control such a relatively difficult song, let alone other songs. Obviously, playing and singing this road is also a dead end, and the short preparation time of twelve days is an insurmountable obstacle for him.
In fact, Cheng Xiaoyu in his previous life also danced well in HipHop, POPPIN and JAZZ, but now he is afraid that dancing with this figure is not shocking but funny. In addition, he has to go to special music, if it is a solo dance, the effect is not necessarily stronger than performing martial arts, if it is a group dance, where is he going to find his teammates?
In general, Cheng Xiaoyu wants to be a blockbuster in the New Year's Day show, the difficulty is not ordinary, he has to face not only the program of his school, but also the other three famous schools. If only the show needs to be selected, he believes it will be easy for him. But he demands much more from himself.
Cheng Xiaoyu began to play "Croatian Rhapsody" casually when he was clueless, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, but he couldn't grasp the point. It wasn't until Wang Huasheng called and said that he was already waiting for him at the back door of the school, and he didn't come up with any good way. Cheng Xiaoyu had to leave the piano room and go home first, until he got in the car, Cheng Xiaoyu was still thinking all the way, "I want to be shocked, I want to be shocked!" Su Yuxi looked at him a few more times.
Wang Ou called over in the evening, and the little prince of campus gossip already knew about Cheng Xiaoyu and Li Liwei's bet. Wang Ou expressed strong concern about this new friend without righteousness, and said to Cheng Xiaoyu on the phone full of friendship: "Why don't you go to practice the piano after school!
Cheng Xiaoyu was puzzled and asked, "What, you want to perform a hundred meters with me?"
WANG OU SAID CALMLY, "NO, SO THAT YOUR NAKED (LUO) RUNNING TIME CAN BE SHORTER!"
Cheng Xiaoyu sneered, "Wang Dazhuang, if I don't delete all the private photos in your phone, I will have your surname!"
Wang Ou ha: "Cheng Xiaopang, don't worry, I will definitely beg Li Liwei to leave you a pair of briefs when the time comes, I am a brother, I am benevolent and righteous!"
Cheng Xiaoyu said "fuck" and said, "Your sister's Wang Dazhuang, you are now washing your ass with your brother and waiting, and your brother will come to educate you to be a man immediately!"
Wang Ou immediately made a coquettish gesture and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine can't do it!"
Cheng Xiaoyu retched and hung up the phone, and immediately received a text message from Wang Ou with a smiley face symbol, followed by two words come on.
