Chapter 109: While the recording is in progress
In fact, this is not the first time that Li Zhixian's method of blending styles has been used. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
I already had a similar experience when assisting Blockb with the recording of the album before.
However, because the agency is small and there is only one group of artists in Blockb, his proposal was not hindered.
He wasn't sure if S.M. would be able to accept this approach, which was very different from the company's idea of creating an idol, and after proposing it, he saw that Huang Productions had no opinion, so he dared to apply it to F(X) with confidence.
When it comes to S.M.'s idea of creating an idol portfolio, I have to mention a widely circulated saying in the industry, which is an evaluation of the three major idol brokerage companies today.
The evaluation of JYP is: "What type of celebrity the public likes, create a corresponding style of idol." ”
YG's evaluation is: "No matter what type of celebrity the public likes, they only make the idol style they want to create. ”
And the evaluation of S.M. is: "No matter what style of celebrity the public likes, he can prepare all types of idols in advance."
From this rumor, it is clear that S.M.'s combination has always been known for its varied style, especially the large number of Superjunior and Girls' Generation, and recently there is an additional EXO. It is difficult to find two members of the same style in either group.
The most typical self is Girls' Generation, nine people and nine colors, each with their own unique charm.
However, F(X) has not reached the heights of Girls' Generation or Superjunior after all, and the company's shift in focus naturally means that there will not be too many expectations of him, which is why Huang Productions has allowed Lee Ji-hyun to do his job since the production of the song, and also wants to see what new tricks he can toss.
"Then let's start with the krystalxi part!"
No matter what others think, the recording still has to go on as usual, when Krystal entered the recording room alone to prepare, Li Zhixian turned his chair and said to the four people who were already sitting on the sofa waiting on the side: "When Krystalxi is recording, I will point out all her shortcomings in detail, and slightly adjust her original singing style according to the concept positioning of this song. When it's your turn to record, I'll synthesize all of your parts one by one into a more consistent genre to fit the theme. ”
Although he talked about a long list of seemingly illusory concepts, the conclusion was not complicated, and even Amber nodded decently after roughly understanding it.
To put it simply, it is necessary to combine their styles, and in the case of cooking, it is necessary to mix a dish with little difference in taste before and after.
"Made Lee, I'm ready!"
As he finished speaking, he just heard Krystal's reminder, and Li Zhixian turned back to the front of the recording room, answered a thumbs up, and then gave her a thumbs up to return the prepared signal, and then asked the recording assistant to turn on the accompaniment.
Because it has entered a solo recording, unlike the trial recording, it is necessary to check the fit of the finished song, and it has become a common situation to stop at any time to correct the details, which is the case at this time, but as soon as the prelude part begins to sing the first sentence, it is immediately interrupted by Li Zhixian.
"The repetition of the adverb 'secretly' here is to emphasize the shy and lively and clever image of the girl, krystalxi, when you sing here, you should pay attention to exhaling a light and playful feeling, and the voice is more empty."
"Inside!" Krystal just subconsciously agreed, and when he didn't know how to do it when he didn't know how to empty his voice, he only heard Lee Ji-hyun suddenly continue: "By the way, it's like the kind of 'air half voice and half voice' singing method that Park Jin-young's predecessor said." ”
Li Zhixian didn't add this sentence, but as soon as the words came out, several girls on the sofa burst out happy.
If nothing else, it's because this kind of "air half voice and half voice" singing style is too famous. Although there is indeed this kind of singing similar to "gas voice" in professional vocal music, since Park Jin-young has repeatedly raised it on Kpopstar, it has caused heated discussions, coupled with the "laughing fruit" of Park Jin-young's image on the screen in the past, which has directly made this sentence a new national stalk.
Reminded by their laughter, Li Zhixian couldn't help but laugh when he remembered it, chuckled, and immediately turned back to his normal color to explain the principle to Krystal.
"This kind of is mainly to use the chest cavity to make sounds, first accumulate a breath in the chest, and then use the chest cavity to exert force, squeeze the air out and then sing the lyrics, you try."
"Secretly ...... every day Steal... Stealing ......"
krystal tried and practiced while trying, and the other few people were not idle, and practiced on the sofa according to the method he said, after all, li zhixian had just given instructions.
However, now it is obvious that the difference in the strength of several people can be seen.
In any case, Krystal is still one of the lead singers of F(X), although in just a few meeting experiences, Li Zhixian has more than once complained about her singing skills, but her strength is still better than most idols, and after Li Zhixian told her the principle of vocalization, she will soon be able to practice well.
Luna is self-explanatory, but the other three non-lead members of the line are hard to say, and even two of them have a problem understanding the full text. When Li Zhixian's slightly scrutinizing gaze turned to the three of them, the result really didn't disappoint him, and Victoria, the most exaggerated of the three, even coughed out because she was holding her breath too hard.
Li Zhixian narrowed his eyes and held his forehead, all his helplessness turned into a sigh, and he could only decide to take one step at a time, hoping that a few people would open their minds after practicing.
"Krystalxi, let's do it again!"
"Inside!"
After Krystal re-sang the lyrics in the way Li Zhixian had requested, she found that the effect was significantly different from the original, and it did sound a lot lighter.
The corner of his eye glanced at Li Zhixian's position, and found that his expression was really brighter, and before he could be a little happy, he stopped again.
"It's a good deal at the beginning, but don't drag it out at the end. Don't be 'follow in your footsteps~~. 'Cut off the last coda and tighten it all at once. ”
The situation was even more severe than imagined, and Li Zhixian also began to tighten his face, no longer showing a trace of smile, and together with Huang Zuo, his face was expressionless like two stone Buddhas.
Krystal had no other answer to choose from except "inside", so he adjusted his pronunciation again to match his requirements, but gradually he was also aroused by Li Zhixian's harshness, and made up his mind to complete the recording perfectly.
