There is not much to say about the running performances on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, except to quickly rush to a certain venue in the plan, perform on stage, and get off the stage to rush to the next venue.

For the actors, the most important thing is to finish the performance quickly and never procrastinate. In these two days of performance, the actors with artistic virtues will become short and fast irrigation actors. No one will talk nonsense, everyone is in a hurry to the performance location, wait for three or five minutes at most to get on the stage immediately, and leave directly after the performance is over.

Friendship and friendship are all things that should be done in normal times. In the two days of Christmas, it is a "battle" against time to grab gold and silver!

There is no way to do this way of strangling the time. First, every actor's time is precious, and every second must not be delayed, otherwise the next scene will be delayed or missed.

It's all money, does anyone care about money?

Second, on this day, each venue will also invite a large number of actors to perform, otherwise there would not be so many guests coming to this venue. The number and quality of the actors determine the number of guests and the price of the night, which is the lifeline of the merchants who hold the Christmas party. The number of programs invited by each business will almost exceed 20, and in just a few hours, more than 20 or even more than 30 actors will be arranged, and the time left for each actor will definitely only be a few minutes, and it will definitely not exceed ten minutes. For singers, it is two songs, and there is only room for the name of the song in the middle.

In this way, an interesting result is created.

When each actor takes over the performance before Christmas, they will first announce the time slot they can arrange, and if it meets everyone's needs, they will continue to talk, if not, then goodbye. The inviting party will never turn his face or feel uncomfortable because of this.

The reverse is also true.

When a business invites an actor, it also reports the time period he hopes for first, and if it is right, everyone will be happy, and if it is not, it depends on the actor's status in the circle.

Like this time, Ye Zi's performance time slot did not match the other party several times, but because of Ye Zi's current status in the music world and the benefits that Ye Zi can bring to the business after inviting Ye Zi, in the end, the merchant himself compromised and agreed to Ye Zi's time slot.

If you don't have Ye Zi's current status, then I'm sorry, you, if you should find another family, go to another family.

The performances on the two days of Christmas require the lively atmosphere formed by the appearance of familiar or heard actors one after another, and the requirements for the quality of the performance itself are not high.

As long as the actors are on the stage, regardless of whether they are well-known or not, whether they are famous or not, the audience will cheer, and the atmosphere is extremely lively. The actors stirred up a little bit on stage, and the atmosphere went straight to the heat.

This situation will only occur in those two days, and the usual Shencheng audience is very arrogant, and they will not be easily provoked by the actors.

Such a contrast also makes many actors extremely uncomfortable in their performances after Christmas.

In this way, Ye Zi spent the first Christmas after being reborn lively. Of course, the excitement is someone else's, Ye Zi only felt that he was a little dazed when he ran on the field, and he didn't even want to say much in the next few days.

However, the income of these two days still makes him very happy, and the funds can be accumulated quickly in a short period of time, which is always a happy thing.

――――――――――

After Christmas, an official letter from the TV station was sent to the University.

Because the time to go to Xiangjiang for the competition was somewhat conflicting with the final exam time of the University of Tokyo, the TV station specially sent a letter asking for assistance, hoping that Ye Zi and Liu Qi could take the exam in advance.

This is a good thing to show the face of the University and make a name for the University, and of course the school will not be a villain. After consulting Ye Zi and Liu Qi, the school decided to take the extra exam for the two after New Year's Day.

Ye Zi is not worried about the exam.

The professional subjects of Chinese language and literature, such as rhyme and prose of the past dynasties, have always been memorized by Ye Zi in the present and present life, and high scores in the examination can be expected. Public subjects such as politics and mathematics may be a bit difficult, but it should be no problem not to fail.

As for English, Ye Zi has already passed the fourth level this semester, and she will not have to take English classes next semester. Level six? Of course, Ye Zi's English level can pass, but is it necessary?

Around New Year's Day, Ye Zi had to complete several things.

Performance, at all times, is the lifeline of an actor (singer) and is indispensable. Of course, Ye Zi, a new singer, is indispensable in the performance market on New Year's Day in Shencheng, but the number of performances is not as exaggerated as the two days of Christmas.

In addition, the two songs that had been prepared for the Xiangjiang competition also needed to be recorded in the studio. This is not only for this competition, but also for the need to contact the record company after going to Xiangjiang.

Although Ye Zi is not ready to sign with any other record company, business connections are still needed. In the record industry, which is a huge market, it is a well-known truth that "it is difficult to make a forest alone", and the fundamental way to make an industry bigger and stronger is to make it bigger and stronger.

For the record industry, which has long been mature, Unisplendour is still just a small company that exists in a leather bag.

Arrogance? Then you have to have confidence!

In the team competition, the song "Little River Flowing Water + Half Moon Climbs Up", Ye Zi spent several days of hard work and designed several plans before finally determining the way of singing and accompaniment. The accompaniment scores for piano and classical guitar have been written, and the connection and transition of the two songs, the order in which the five singers sing, and the harmonic arrangement have all been finalized and the score has been written.

Next, it's nothing more than rehearsals.

Just after New Year's Day, the contestants' live band accompaniment training with the "Magnolia Band" will also begin, and it is very appropriate to put them together.

As for the band accompaniment scores of the repertoire of several other singers, it was already completed early on the day Ye Zi got the repertoire. In Ye Zi's hands, this kind of thing was directly carried out as notation training, relaxed and pleasant.

Monday, 6 January 1992.

Ye Zi and Liu Qi participated in the additional examination specially arranged by the school. From 8 o'clock in the morning to 10 o'clock in the evening, the two of them each took nearly ten subjects, and the test was dark.

Fortunately, the school also knew why these two took the exam in advance, and the invigilator arranged was not strict, and he read the book in the examination room for a whole day.

I don't know what the results will be, but it's certain that they will pass successfully, and both of them are sure of this.

Wednesday morning, 8 January 1992.

After a day off after the additional exam, Ye Zi and Liu Qi went to the Metropolitan Song Hall on Jiangnan West Road with the other three contestants to participate in the training of live accompaniment and singing of the band prepared by the TV station for the contestants.

This training takes place over five days, one day per person, but the TV station requires every fighter to be there every day. When the players who are training for the day are resting, other players can jump in line at any time.

Although such measures are a bit "temporary", they are still necessary and necessary. Otherwise, except for Ye Zi and Zhang Lei, the other three can now rule out the possibility of scoring high scores.

Live band singing and singing along with an accompaniment band are two completely different forms. Singers who can work well with the band will have no problem singing along with the accompaniment, but the other way around, it may not be the same.

The live accompaniment of the band requires the singer's musicality, rhythm, ear power, comprehension and adaptability. And singing along with the accompaniment tape, what is needed is proficiency, and rote memorization can be done.

Let's take an analogy.

When you go to karaoke, you can generally sing a song as long as you can sing, unless it's the kind of person who has incomplete pentatonic notes, you can basically sing it along with the accompaniment, right? But if an ordinary fan with no training comes to sing live with the band, even if the band is playing exactly to the original accompaniment, there is a good chance that the fan will not be able to open his mouth and not know where to start.

Of course, there must be one among the fans who can work well with the band for the first time, so congratulations, his musicality must be quite good.

Back to the live accompaniment of the band.

Why can't ordinary singing enthusiasts open their mouths to sing along with a live band? This is because no matter how good the band is, no matter how complete the configuration is, compared with the original accompaniment, the content will definitely be lacking a lot.

When writing instruments to make an accompaniment to a song, there are often many other things added in addition to the keyboard, bass, drums, and electric guitar commonly known as the "big four". For example, add a bamboo flute during the interlude, add a distorted electric guitar strumming when the chorus is repeated, or use string groups and orchestral music to set off, etc. Some of these added things are made by the band on the spot, such as string ensembles and bamboo flutes, while some special effects, such as synthetic sound effects and special sound effects, are difficult to restore on the spot.

It's the ones that can be made, such as a string group, which can have infinite tracks stacked in the studio, and a few people can make a large compilation effect of hundreds of people, but in the field, what is the concept of a string group of hundreds of people? It's hard to say whether there are so many string musicians in a city. Even if there is, can you afford it?

In this way, the accompaniment of the live band will always be a little paradoxical compared to the original accompaniment, which is different from the accompaniment that lovers are used to hearing. Music lovers who sing by rote rely on proficiency don't know how to sing.

But that's just one of the reasons. This problem is not difficult, and most music lovers can solve it after getting acquainted with it a few times.

But some problems are not so easy to solve.
