Chapter 75: Music Knows No Borders
This is the first time that "I Am a Singer" has faced overseas audiences, and it is also the best opportunity to go out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Whether it is the staff or the singers, they all put out 200% of their energy and put into preparation.
Park Jung-hyuk also changed his lazy style of recording in China in the past, and took the overall responsibility himself.
Standing in an open place, with a grand stage open, Park Jung-hyuk instructed Kim Tae-hee, "Tell the singers that they must be prepared for the stage." This stage is too big, and they need to release it all when they are performing. ”
The director of the Victoria Arts Centre had already told him that more than 2,000 people would arrive for the evening performance.
This scale is much larger than MBC's studio.
Kim Tae-hee took the order and left, and Park Jung-hyuk asked Jung so-yeon again, "Where is In-soon-yi's senior?" Tell the airport that when she arrives, she will be sent here immediately. The assistant team got them ready, had thirty minutes of makeup, and then began the first rehearsal. ”
In's soon-i didn't come to Australia with everyone, but had other activities in South Korea.
As agreed, she would come over this morning. It's just a state, you can imagine.
Park Jung-hyuk put her color row first, hoping that she could have more rest time so as not to make mistakes when performing.
In the afternoon, the audience began to line up, and Park Jung-hyuk went to see it, but in exchange for a sigh.
The so-called Hallyu boom is really just a false prosperity.
Because there are indeed a lot of audiences, but most of them are Korean expatriates or Koreans.
In other words, the influence of Hallyu, which is touted by the Korean media, is limited to a limited number of people.
In the performance, what worried Park Jung-hyuk the most was Cho Gyu-chan, who was the first to appear.
Because when he started performing, it wasn't quite dark yet.
In this way, the lighting and effects of the stage are not optimal, which will greatly affect the quality of the performance.
But there is no way, whoever draws the first one has to accept this limit.
That's bad luck and has to be endured.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, amid the strong cheers of the audience, MC Kim Sung-ju walked out.
This time, he completely lost his previous oily tone, and looked very solemn.
After all, this is a serious cultural exchange event, and it is best to consider the receptivity of foreigners.
However, the agents hiding in the lounge did not have this concern, on the contrary, because it was an overseas performance, they were more excited than before.
Park Myung-so fulfilled some of the duties of the MC and explained the rules of this competition.
Overall, it's the same as when it was in the domestic competition. It's just that the number of the audience jury is no longer 500, but 2,000.
Don't underestimate the change in numbers, which can have a huge impact on the vote rate in both rounds.
So even the most experienced singers can't accurately predict their fate this time.
Speaking of which, Park Myung-so is very funny.
"The losers here will pack up and go home."
Kim Shin-young is also very good at making fun.
"Melbourne will be a sad city for the eliminators."
Don't look at the music bowl is an open performance stage, but because of the special structural design, the sound effect is quite good.
Kim Sung-joo stands on the stage, and even if he speaks peacefully, his voice can be heard clearly in every corner.
Seeing this scene, Park Jung-hyuk finally let go of his worries.
Compared with his previous life, Park Jung-hyuk was more prepared.
Considering that there will definitely be foreign audiences at the scene, and what Korean MCs and singers say, it is impossible for them to understand Korean. Therefore, Park Jung-hyuk specifically requested simultaneous interpretation and subtitling on the big screen, so that these audiences could receive the message in real time.
So Kim Sung-ju introduced the show slowly and methodically, and the audience below also listened to it with relish, and there was no boredom.
Officials from the Ministry of Culture, who were watching the effects like Park Jung-hyuk, gave him a thumbs up.
Park Jung-hyuk responded politely and continued to put his energy on the stage.
The first singer, Cho Gyu-chan, is finally going to take the stage, and Park Jung-hyuk's heart is also raised.
He was really afraid that Cho Gyu-chan would make a mistake on stage.
If it were like JK Kim Dong-wook, the reputation of "I Am a Singer" would be ruined.
Like him, all the staff were extremely nervous and had the same concerns.
On the calm stage background, the soothing sound of the piano flowed like a stream, quickly attracting everyone's emotions.
"There is no so-called parting", this is the song chosen by Cho Gyu-chan.
But after Park Jung-hyuk saw it, he felt powerless to complain.
Big brother, you finished seventh in the last round, and you are already on the edge of the cliff of elimination.
Just when you need to rise up, you chose such a song, do you say that it doesn't matter if you are eliminated?
At the beginning of the song, Cho Gyu-chan first let out a series of sighs.
But seeing his expression, Park Jung-hyuk knew that he was still nervous.
Afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on, Park Jung-hyuk couldn't help but clench his fists, and even began to pray to the gods from all walks of life.
This is the most important moment in his life Park Jung-hyuk, as long as there is a slight mistake, it will take longer to make up for it.
On the contrary, if the curtain ends perfectly, he will really soar into the sky.
Fortunately, Cho Gyu-chan is not a fledgling singer and has a wealth of experience in the stage.
When he really started singing, the whole person's energy was focused on singing, and there was no time for him to care. In addition, it is a song that I am good at, and it is easier to control.
Slowly, he became more and more free, and his singing began to flutter with sincere emotions.
Park Jung-hyuk noticed that the audience, even foreigners who could not understand Korean, closed their eyes tightly and savored the charm of the music.
It is said that music knows no borders and is the best language of communication for people all over the world. Now it seems that this is indeed the case.
Cao Guican's performance can't be said to be amazing, but it can be called qualified.
And that's enough, Park Jung-hyuk has only this requirement for the first singer to come on stage.
If you don't make a mistake and show the strength of the singer, then look for nothing else.
With Cho Gyu-chan's foreshadowing, the people who appeared later will definitely remove all the tension and burst into a powerful performance.
The Music Bowl is a place where high-level singers perform all the time. Even so, when Cao Gyucan ended, he still received a mountain of applause.
As a representative of Korean singers, he deserves this title with his performance.
He himself was very excited, and before he left the stage, he made a special gesture of love to the audience.
After Cho Gyu-chan, the person who appeared was Jang Hye-jin. The queen of love songs, there is no need to worry.
Compared with Cho Gyu-chan, the song chosen by Jang Hye-jin is Shin Seung-hoon's famous song "You Who Shine in a Smile".
Sure enough, Kim Sung-joo just announced the name of the song, and the audience was cheering in anticipation.
Many of them have been away from Korea for many years, and their hearts must be filled with longing for their hometown and homeland.
And in their time, Shin Seung-hoon was definitely a representative symbol.
The familiar song seems to show the face of my hometown again.
If Jang Hye-jin's singing reminds everyone of their hometown, then after that, In-soon-yi is slowly missed by everyone.
When many people leave their hometowns, Insoon-yi is their favorite singer.
Now, such a singer stands in front of everyone and sends a familiar singing voice.
Just thinking about it is an indescribable emotion.
The best thing is that the song chosen by In-soon-yi is "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter" by the late Kim Hyun-sil.
Ren Shunyi just stood on the stage, a handsome shape, a red megaphone, and the applause was endless.
Even foreign audiences were amazed by her handsomeness.
Such a singer, even in the European and American music circles, is the top existence.
As soon as it opened, Ren Shunyi played a flower head.
She brought the megaphone to her lips and placed the microphone in front of it. In this way, the sound received by the speaker is much louder out of thin air, and there is a slight change of voice.
The rock-and-roll stage completely ignited the enthusiasm of the audience. Everyone unconsciously beat the beat and writhed to the hot song of the godmother of music.
I can't tell at all that Ren Shunyi hasn't slept for thirty-eight hours, and has just come from a journey of thousands of miles.
She is on the stage, singing with all her might, and dancing at the same time, who can not admire her dedicated performance?
Park Jung-hyuk also put aside his worries for the time being, stretched out his arms, clenched his hands into fists, and raised his thumbs to each other.
Maintaining this posture, the hip-hop singers who learned later writhed unbridledly.
In two years, hip-hop music in Korea will change a lot. Especially on the stage, there is more emphasis on rhythm and casualness.
So VJ was amazed by his appearance and gave him a five-second shot.
When In-Soon-yi finished the performance, the whole audience stood up and called her name, which could not be calmed down for a long time.
The stage is handsome, but the people who want to take the stage behind are under a lot of pressure.
What can be done to take it to the next level?
If it is not as good as Ren Shunyi's performance and cannot satisfy the enthusiasm of the audience, it will definitely not have good results.
Fortunately, it was not the lyricist who sang the lyrics after Insoon-yi, but Rock Kim Kyung-ho.
This rock singer with a back that resembles Little Crystal, with a domineering high voice and long flowing hair, is not so easy to suppress even with skill.
The song he chose was Gao Hanyu's "Gloomy".
I don't know why, hearing his soft singing, Park Jung-hyuk inexplicably thought of Jang Shin-cheol.
Maybe if you have time in the future, it should be very good to help this person adapt "Faith".
Kim Kyung-ho's singing voice didn't all explode from the beginning. but like a storm from the far sea.
At first, the breeze was blowing and the leaves were gently swaying. Slowly, the waves rolled and the waves crashed on the shore. And in the end, it must be a violent storm, and the earth will shake.
Step by step, little by little, pull the listener's heart into the whirlpool, and Sensei wants to come out.
The best thing is that the song has reached its climax, but Kim Kyung-ho's singing voice is still very clear. Unlike many rock singers, by the end of the song, the singing voice is already muddy and hoarse.
How can this free-flowing strength not be amazing and impressive?
It's like the most powerful master of love, playing with your feelings wantonly. I cry when I want you to cry, and I laugh when I want you to laugh. I can't help myself, I can't extricate myself.
At this point, there are already four singers on stage.
Park Jung-hyuk can already be sure that this Australian performance will be a success.
In addition to being comfortable, his face was full of relaxed smiles.
The appearance of the responsible PD infected many people, and everyone relaxed their nerves and gradually began to enjoy making the show. (To be continued.) )
