Chapter 157: The Ambition of the Field
() The synthesizer plays a broken chord that moves forward at a leisurely mid-tempo against the backdrop of the arpeggiated chords of the electric guitar, the accent of the electric bass, and the gentle kick drum stamping. The strings float softly above the chords, and the prelude has not yet begun, and the atmosphere of the song is slowly brewing.
Tian Ye stood at the bottom of the dimly lit passage, looking at the flickering spots of light in front of the passage, listening to the melody played by the band, he held the ? I stopped the microphone in my hand.
Tonight, now, it's time.
Among the five players of the Xiangjiang team, Tian Ye is an unnoticed character.
In terms of talent, although his singing talent is good, it is not as talented as Chen Yichen. In terms of singing skills, he can't compare with Liu Feifei's tactful and fluent, controllable and free. In terms of characteristics, Mengqi's youthful invincibility and Li Anji's elegant lady are not something he can resist.
But is it this field that goes unnoticed that is so exciting in the semi-finals? Under the fierce competition, following in the footsteps of Chen Yichen and Liu Feifei, they quietly entered the finals.
At last year's "Rookie Singing Contest", Chen Yichen won the championship with only his voice talent and extremely average singing skills at that time, and immediately signed a contract with Huaxing Records, becoming another rising star in the Xiangjiang music scene. At the same time, Tian Ye, who participated in the competition, only broke into the finals, did not get any rankings, and no record company extended an olive branch to him.
Regarding the talent gap between the two, Tian Ye did not lose confidence in his heart while acknowledging it.
Talent can be a little worse, but hard work can close those gaps. That's what Tian Ye always thinks, and so does he.
The field did it.
In this three-place singer competition, nearly 6,000 contestants from all over Xiangjiang participated in the competition. Tian Ye made it all the way to the final after making his third appearance in the semi-finals.
To say that there is no extravagant hope in the field at this moment. No one will believe it.
His goal is also to win the championship.
In order to achieve this goal, Tian Ye determined two things for himself as early as the beginning of the competition.
The first is hard work, all the time without stopping. This will be the cornerstone of the upward climb of the field.
The second is the participation strategy.
This point, after a careful analysis. Tian Ye made a decision. In this competition, Tian Ye will choose a recognized singer to imitate from beginning to end.
Yes, it's imitation.
This is the strategy that Tian Ye has determined for himself.
It's a trick. But I have to say that Tian Ye's decision is the guarantee that he can go all the way to the finals. When singing has not yet been able to form a personal style, imitation is a good choice.
The imitation object that Tian Ye chose for himself was the superstar of the generation of emperors in the Xiangjiang music scene - Alan Tam and Principal Tan.
His voice is six or seven points similar to Principal Tan, but it lacks the kind of rock and roll passion that Principal Tan has hidden deep in his heart since the "Wenner" period. It was an uncompromising spirit of rebellion that the field could not even perceive, let alone imitate, at present. But there is a resemblance in the voice of six or seven points. In addition, Tian Ye has been carefully figuring out every solo album of Principal Tan, and now Tian Ye can really imitate a little bit of Principal Tan's style.
In the orchestra pit.
The electric guitar played a prelude to romance and grief with a rather soft tone, and Tian Ye walked out briskly.
Stop in the bustling city
Leave rain and sorrow
People pass by, only I wait
Hold an umbrella and stay
Inability to look up again
It's all stolen for the sake of the beloved
The first song Tian Ye sang tonight was still the song sung in the semi-finals, "Crazy to Play?" composed by Principal Tan himself. Even.
In the field tonight, I chose a silver suit. The cuff of the left hand of the suit and the shoulder on the right side of the suit are decorated with sparkling "colored diamonds". Inside the suit is a small blue stand-up collar shirt. There is no tie or bow tie, and the black buttons are buttoned one by one. The hairstylist pushed the hair on both sides of his sideburns up a lot. I also used hairspray to make the short hair of the head ding free and fluffy, which looked a little messy.
This overall shape is mainly refreshing, but the choice of silver and blue colors and a slightly messy hairstyle make Tian Ye's whole temperament a little depressed, which is very in line with the song "Infatuated to play? The loneliness of "Even". His second song should follow a similar path, otherwise this style will be a bit conflicting and a little inappropriate.
on stage. Tian Ye's singing is very attentive.
Not only in terms of voice, but also some of Principal Tan's gestures, eyes, turning, waving and other actions at the concert were also imitated quite well by Tian Ye. At first glance, it seems to be a bit like Principal Tan in person.
The enthusiasm of the audience was very high, and the applause began to sound one after another as soon as the prelude began. Throughout the eighties. Principal Tan's scenery is only slightly comparable to Zhang Guorong, and each of his songs is familiar in Xiangjiang, and the audience knows which one it is as soon as they listen to the prelude. Any song sung by Principal Tan will immediately arouse the enthusiasm of the audience.
As soon as Tian Ye spoke, the highly similar voice and singing attracted a round of applause and applause, and the audience naturally wanted to chase after the local singers in Xiangjiang. As Tian Ye's singing gradually got better, bursts of rhythmic applause followed the rhythm of the song and continued to echo in the studio.
In the live broadcast control room, the live broadcast director let out a long breath. In tonight's finals, he doesn't have to worry about it at all.
It's hard to get started!
The live broadcast director doesn't care who wins tonight, all he cares about is the situation on the spot.
The team competition at the beginning has given him a lot of surprise and confidence, and now the first player on the court has been loved by the audience, and the atmosphere is gradually getting hot, what else does he have to worry about?
With the applause and support of the audience, Tian Ye's first song was slowly sung to the end.
At this time he had two options.
You can finish singing this song, stop the band, and then continue to sing the second song. It is also possible to ask the band not to stop, directly connecting the second song with the first song. However, such a connection needs to consider the tonality of the two songs, and also consider whether the two songs are suitable for connection.
The selection of the field is carried out directly.
For the connection of these two songs, the band's handling is simple and efficient. "Obsessed with play? The band ending sentence of "Even" is played in unison by an orchestra on a main note, which ends in four beats. When the unison reaches the third and a half beat, the lead guitar starts with two long glissandos, and the band follows directly at the beginning of the fifth beat, immediately starting the prelude to the next piece.
It's simple, but it's refreshing and clear, and it won't affect the contestants' singing at all.
The second song was much faster and more rhythmic than the previous one, and the prelude was accompanied by a wave of applause in the studio.
After two bars of syncopated rhythm with a strong shaky feeling, Tian Ye began singing at the end of the long note given by the distorted guitar strumming.
Silently looking for my way through the fog
I hope that the luck on the road is your footsteps
I want to see you again
I just want to reveal my heart
love
"Love Trap" is a favorite song of Xiangjiang fans, and it is also one of Principal Tan's representative works. As the title song of the same name in the album "Love Trap", the second part of President Tan's most prestigious "Love Trilogy", it won the annual award - Golden Melody Gold Award at the 1985 "Top Ten Golden Songs of Xiangjiang" award ceremony. Principal Tan himself was also awarded the title of Heavenly King of the year. (The queen at that time was Mei Yanfang, and the pair of "Tan Mei Combination" won three consecutive championships from 1985 to 1987.) )
Compared with the previous song "Obsessed to Play? Even", this song "Love Trap" is much more popular. From the B section of the song, the audience couldn't help but sing loudly along with the field.
I fell in love, but you watched from outside
Never release
You smile and look at me like you're looking at your prey
My heart is broken
I fell in love, but you watched from outside
Never release
Hate!
Love!
The heart is stirring
This trap, this trap, this trap
I'm going to meet it!
Tian Ye sang to the end, and the audience and Tian Ye chanted at the same time "This trap, this trap, this trap, I encountered", the momentum was huge, and the atmosphere of the scene directly soared to the highest chao since the live broadcast. (To be continued......)
