Chapter 298: The Original
Original good songs, the recording of the sixth episode of the program, is about to begin.
The studio, which can accommodate more than 500 audiences, has long been full.
These viewers did not buy tickets to come in, but in the form of online registration, and then went through layers of screening by Shangdu TV Station. 500 lucky winners will be selected in each issue to witness the passionate collision between four of the most powerful mentors in the domestic music industry.
At the same time, they are also judges.
And Ding Shaoyang, an old fox, the first thing he did when he walked into the studio hall was to get close to the judges.
"It's cold today, are you wearing warm clothes?"
"Have you eaten breakfast? Yo! Didn't this big brother eat? Okay, after the end, I'll be the east, and let's have a few drinks. â
"This sister, your dress today is so beautiful, where did you buy it?"
âŚâŚ
Ye Luo, Chen Tianhua, and the music double ghosts, the four of them looked at Ding Shaoyang and shook their heads in unison.
This is too ugly.
"Tutor Ding Shaoyang, please return to your seat, and the official recording will start soon." The director smiled, "And don't worry, the audience judges on the scene, after our strict selection, are all music fans with a certain degree of musical literacy and at the same time very objective and neutral. â
Ding Shaoyang laughed twice, and had to return to his seat and sit down.
"Attention to all departments, the first season of the original good song, the sixth episode of the program is recorded, and the countdown begins." The director began to order, "ten, nine, eight......"
Starting from "eight", the audience at the scene has already stood up, and everyone counts down together.
In the audience, the rocker camera roamed in the sky widely, and the lights in the studio hall suddenly dimmed. Only the faint light near the instructor's desk remains, and some green wall lamps around the perimeter that point to the exit.
"Three, two, one. Begin! The director gave an order, accompanied by the cheers of the audience, and a figure flashed in the center of the stage, and it brightened little by little with the lights. The host Wang Xiao walked to the front desk and said, "Welcome to the competition site of the sixth phase of the original good song."
At this point, I've got a list of all the artists in the competition. After seeing this list, I think, the rules, let's put it aside.
Let me first reveal a few pieces of information and tips about the singer, you may wish to look forward to it.
Today, two of the three kings and four queens in the domestic pop music scene are here. â
The audience let out a "wow". It was very neat, and the tail note dragged on for a long time, and then applause rang out.
"Don't worry, there's more." Wang Xiao said with a smile, "The top five hot cutting-edge girls this year, tonight, on this stage, only one is absent." â
The audience erupted in even louder cheers.
"Besides. Tonight, the strongest singer on Hong Kong Island. is about to face off with his brother on the same stage. After Wang Xiao finished speaking, he looked helpless, threw the inscription card in his hand to the side, and said, "I'm wondering." This is only the sixth issue, and one of the four mentors is on the shore, and the lineup of competing singers is already lined up like this. Director, you dare to criticize this kind of singing lineup. What will you do with the show in the future? â
The director smiled on the side of the stage and said, "Our show is called original good songs, and the highlight is original music." No matter how luxurious the singer's lineup is, that is the choice of the mentors, they just want to make their music and let the most suitable people sing it, that's all. So on this stage, whether the singer is popular or not, whether he is famous or not, we don't make restrictions, as long as the song is performed well, then it will be fine. â
Wang Xiao bent down to pick up the inscription card he had dropped, and said with a smile: "Actually, I also know this, I just feel that the scenery of the stage has been robbed by these music giants and newcomers, and I, the host, have no sense of zĂ i, which is really sad." â
Wang Xiao and the director sang and harmonized, and after two jokes, the atmosphere at the scene was a little relaxed, and then Wang Xiao said: "Okay, let's get down to business, I will first announce the rules of this competition."
In this competition, the concession rules of the previous periods have been cancelled. In other words, the new songs of the four groups stand on the same starting line, and the three mentor groups will not be allowed to vote.
Tutor Ding Shaoyang, this time, your student group will compete fairly with the other three mentors, may I ask, what do you think? â
Ding Shaoyang smiled and said: "This is very good, everyone has a level playing field, in this way, if my students are lucky enough to win one or two of the mentors, oops, then this episode of the show is too good." â
Ye Luo said at this time: "Director Ding, your student Li Yiming's strength in some music genres is already very close to several of our tutors. Especially tonight's jazz, he's very good at it. So, if there is a mentor capsized in the gutter tonight, it is normal. â
Ding Shaoyang said: "Director Ye, when you say that, are you leaving a way out for yourself?" â
"Huh." Ye Luo didn't say anything, but heard Chen Tianhua laugh and said, "If Director Ding's students can win Director Ye, it will be Director Ye's misfortune, but it will be a great luck for the fans."
A few of us are in our early forties. The future world must be Director Ye's. If there are musicians of similar age who can compete with Director Ye and not let him be lazy, it would be a good thing. â
"The world of the future?" Ding Shaoyang smiled, "Director Chen, you feel too good about yourself. The current Director Ye is about to climb on top of us. A few of our brothers, this time we have to think of a way to make his music road not so smooth, what do you say? â
Yu Zuo and Yu You thought so and nodded in unison.
"Okay, four mentors, please come to the stage to draw the order of the competition." Wang Xiao saw that the following people were chatting about the same, and hurriedly began to promote the process of the show.
Four white balls, one for each person, will be revealed immediately. Ye Luo's lottery life is destined to be full of ups and downs, the first last time, and the last time this time, it seems that the time is coming.
And the first one to appear is the musical double ghost.
The twin ghosts participated in the competition this time, and they were actually the least favored mentors, mainly for two reasons. One is that although they are much more comprehensive than young musicians, compared with the other three mentors, they are still a little single in terms of music style, separated from rock and Cantonese songs, they are slightly inferior to Ding Shaoyang, Chen Tianhua, and Ye Luo.
Another important reason is that the singers in their hands, whether it is the overall singing strength or popularity, are not as good as Ye Luo, Ding Shaoyang, and Chen Tianhua.
In Ding Shaoyang's hands, there are three kings and four queens, the top powerful singers in China.
In Ye Luo's hands, the new generation of three kings and four queens is also about to take shape, Luo Bu, Fang Yu, Lou Jun, this is the new three kings, Chu Moer, Qin Shiyue, Song Yan, Yu Yiyi, this is the new fourth queen.
The cards in Chen Tianhua's hand are not as good as Ye Luo and Ding Shaoyang, but they are not bad, Xiao Qiong, Long Miaoqin, Girls Alliance, and other powerful singers under the Universal Group, although some of them are not as famous as the Three Kings and Four Queens, but their singing strength is almost the same.
And the music double ghosts, the other singers are almost meaningless, and there is actually only one trump card in their hands, that is, the singer Fang Bai.
From the beginning of the recording of the show to the present, the two ghosts, whether they are the trainees or the mentors, are the most vulnerable, this round, the brothers couldn't hold back and played the trump card in their hands.
The first song was opened by the Hong Kong Island singer Fang Bailai.
can be known as the god of songs, and the work under his hands is naturally tough.
Fang Bai was dressed in a white dress today, sitting next to a white grand piano, playing and singing by himself, singing a jazz song with a strong East Coast style of the United States, which was fascinating.
This jazz, Ye Luo thinks it is very authentic, the taste is good, and Fang Bai sings it especially well.
It's just that there is a small problem, this song is an English song.
For historical reasons, English is very popular on Hong Kong Island, and it is not unusual for a musician who grew up on Hong Kong Island to write lyrics in English.
And to be honest, if you really want to sing authentic jazz, English lyrics are actually better, after all, English is the native language of jazz.
This jazz piece by the Twin Ghosts, from a professional point of view of jazz, is very beautiful. The other three instructors nodded as they listened.
It's really good, but it's also true that it's written too deeply.
Pure East Coast jazz, English lyrics, the audience of this kind of music is basically in Chicago, USA, in China, there are not many really people.
And the 500 spectators behind the crowd, it is estimated that there is not one in ten.
The biggest problem with the song Double Ghost is that there is no stylistic adaptation, Taiyuan is authentic, and it does not fit the aesthetic taste of Chinese audiences.
Fang Bai sang this song, the second song of the two ghosts, is also this problem, although the lyrics were changed to Chinese, and the style also changed from American East Coast jazz to British jazz: with the guitar as the core, the strumming is slightly psychedelic and combines a little British rock flavor.
But on the whole, it is still too Westernized.
After the two songs of the two ghosts were performed, it was time for the mentor to comment.
Ding Shaoyang looked at Yu Zuo and opened his mouth, looking a little hesitant.
Ye fell aside, and he was also embarrassed for Ding Shaoyang. The other three mentors heard the advantages and disadvantages, but they really didn't know how to say it.
The music duo are two pure, simple musicians, and their musical concepts are authentic, whether they are rock or jazz.
This kind of style of questioning, which is also a self-contained teacher, is not easy to question, and once questioned, it is to offend people to death.
Ding Shaoyang hesitated for a moment, then slowed down his tone, and said to Yu Zuo cautiously: "Brother Yu, the taste of jazz is really strong, but ah, it may be a little too deep, and it is not easy for the audience to accept." â
"Sir, that's how it should be." Yu Zuo rolled his eyes and replied lightly.
Ding Shaoyang couldn't refute it face-to-face, so he had to smile: "Then let's listen to my students." â
The second group of tonight's competition is Ding Shaoyang's group. (To be continued......)
