Chapter 150: Repertoire Selection and Costumes
The five players of the Guangdong provincial team have walked off the stage.
In the darkness, the faint sound of a heavy object gliding on the track could be faintly heard. In the audience, there were still sporadic applause.
"Well, thank you for the wonderful singing of the Guangdong provincial team. Next up are the five players of the Shencheng team, who will sing "Little River Flowing Water" for everyone. ”
"Please Shencheng team."
The voice of the male host Ming Tsai came from the darkness.
Hey? "Little River Flowing Water"? Isn't this a folk song from the mainland? The Shencheng team wants to sing folk songs? Singing folk songs at such competitions?
Interesting!
That's a lot of fun!
Then I want to take a good look at how the Shencheng team sings folk songs. Folk song? Hahaha
Sima Minghui was secretly surprised in his heart.
Folk song?
Hearing the repertoire reported by the host, the Guangdong provincial team that had just left the field and the Xiangjiang team who were waiting for the venue, all the players were stunned at the same time.
The rehearsal times of each team were staggered, and they did not know the repertoire of the Shencheng team until then. On the contrary, they have already investigated the repertoire of the contestants in the finals.
The Shencheng team chose to sing folk songs to compete in the team competition, which was absolutely unexpected by everyone.
Folk songs, this is too earthy, right? Can singing folk songs at such a competition be effective? The Shencheng team will not give up the team competition, right?
The ten players from Guangdong Province and Xiangjiang are secretly questioning in their hearts, they are not optimistic about the choice of the Shencheng team.
Similar to the views of these contestants, there are also the live broadcast director and most of the more than 600 people in the audience. Immediately after the repertoire was announced, there was a slight commotion in the auditorium, and some laughter and whistles came from the auditorium.
The live broadcast director sighed. immediately instructed the on-site director from the walkie-talkie, asking him to control the atmosphere in the studio as much as possible, and take charge directly as soon as he saw that it didn't work.
Atmosphere, atmosphere!
What you want for live broadcast is the atmosphere!
Why is this Shencheng team so worry-free? It's no wonder that folk songs can be sung to create an effect!
Alas!
The live broadcast director sighed heavily again, and began to worry about it again.
At the same time, Zhou Fang watched and listened to the changes in the live broadcast because of the repertoire selection of the Shencheng team, and her brows gradually frowned into the word "Sichuan". in her heart. I'm really a little worried.
Zhu Chen's seat was not far from Zhou Fang, he glanced at Zhou Fangyan's nervous expression, and the corners of his mouth showed a slight smug smile.
Not everyone does not support this choice of the Shencheng team.
On the judges' bench, Mr. Gu Jiayan, a senior judge of the Xiangjiang team, was brightly eyed, and in his heart, he praised the special choice of the Shencheng team. Mr. Gu has been studying various genres and styles of music at home and abroad for decades, and is particularly fond of music genres with Chinese national characteristics. Mr. Gu himself is a composer who is good at using ethnic music.
The choice of the Shencheng team made him interested in the next singing.
Similar to Mr. Gu. There is also judge Xu Jianqiang from Guangdong Province. This is another composer who loves folk music, and the popular masterpiece "Late Autumn" is an excellent embodiment of the composer's personal style.
As soon as this singing repertoire of the Shencheng team was reported, the atmosphere of the live broadcast immediately underwent subtle changes. A strong sense of anticipation poured out of the hearts of everyone present at the same time.
Someone wants to see the Shencheng team making jokes on stage.
Someone wants to take this opportunity to achieve their own ends.
Someone wants to hear the subtle harmonic combinations.
There are also people who want to see a different kind of group singing.
It's all the same.
Whether you want to sing better or worse, this sense of expectation is the same.
Dark stage.
As soon as Ming Zai's voice fell, four positioning lights were lit down from the high upper light stand at the same time, on the stage. Four bright pillars of light appeared.
The largest pillar of light was aligned with a nine-foot grand piano. The shiny black piano lacquer glows with a mesmerizing sheen in the light. The piano top has been propped up with a stand, and two microphones have reached into the piano's cabinet, arranged at a proportional angle, and aligned with the hammer and soundboard below. Another singing microphone was placed on the stand and stretched out from above the cabinet and aimed at Ye Zi's mouth.
On the piano bench, Ye Zi was wearing a white shirt with a small pointed collar. She wore a black bow tie and square black and gold cufflinks at the cuffs of her shirt. Black trousers, black leather shoes, and fiery red hair, the whole person is foreign and fashionable.
Ye Zi faced the audience sideways, his hands were gently placed on the piano keys, and his eyes looked at Zhang Lei and Zeng Chun who were standing on the piano side.
Zhang Lei's outfit is almost the same as Ye Zi. It's just that the bow tie and cufflinks are all dark red. Such a costume is immediately distinguished from the tuxedo common of bel canto singers, and it is different from the free personality dress of pop singers.
The black and white combination of the main color system is very distinctive.
On Zhang Lei's head, a beam of positioning light also shone down. At this moment, he has a confident smile on his face, his right hand is naturally resting on the piano, and his left hand is hanging down, holding the microphone.
Zhang Lei's side is Zeng Chun in a red dress.
It was rare for the little girl to wear such an adult outfit, her back was straight, her little face was jumping tightly, and the slightest smile was missing. But such a deliberately pretended strict expression, coupled with her sixteen-year-old flower age, no matter how you look at it, it is extremely cute.
Judging from the beaded flowers on her head trembling slightly and the small hands holding the microphone tightly, the little girl may really be a little nervous when she wears this dress.
Liu Qi sat a little in front of the two singers, facing them sideways, and looked at Ye Zi obliquely. When playing, the eyes of the two can communicate at any time.
On his head, the same directional light illuminates his body and the guitar he holds.
At his side, two microphones slumped from the small, stocky stand. One is aimed at the sound hole in the middle of the guitar, about 20 centimeters away, which will not affect the performance of Liu Qi's right hand, but it is a very suitable distance to collect sound, it is a slender high-directivity condenser microphone. The other singing microphone was aimed at his mouth, and like Ye Zi, it was Shure's beta-58 professional vocal microphone.
Liu Qi's outfit is a typical classical guitar costume, which is also a combination of black and white.
The upper body is a white shirt and white bow tie, and a black sleeveless silk suit vest is worn outside, and the bottom is a pure black combination of black trousers and black leather shoes, coupled with Liu Qijun's outstanding, it's really-
What a wonderful young man!
Before he played and sang, such an evaluation had already fallen on Liu Qi. It seems that having an outstanding appearance is really taking advantage of everything!
Positioning light illuminates the four contestants from top to bottom, and the rest of the stage is still shrouded in darkness. Jin Qiaozhen, the fifth player of the Shencheng team, doesn't know where she is, and she hasn't been seen at the moment.
The audience was completely silent, and everyone was waiting for the Shencheng team to start singing.
On the piano bench, Ye Zi took a deep breath and raised his eyes to look at Liu Qi.
Liu Qi sat firmly on the piano bench, his left foot on the footstand, his hands gently on the guitar, and he had already made all the preparations before playing.
Ye Zi's eyes looked at Liu Qi, and when the two of them met, Liu Qi nodded slightly.
Ye Zi's gaze swept over Zhang Lei and Zeng Chun, giving a hint of "ready to start", and then met Liu Qi's gaze again, the two raised their hands and pressed (played) the keys (strings) of the piano (classical guitar) at the same time. (To be continued......)
