Chapter 183: Unplugged

Xu Jianqiang held the microphone and talked eloquently.

In fact, "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" is also a breakthrough song, and I like it very much. But I'm going to focus on the second song today. ‘

Looking down at Wen Jiàn on the table, Xu Jianqiang continued: "The name of the second song must be guessed by everyone. Do you have any audience friends who can tell me, what is the name of the second song sung by Ye Zi? ‘

"Do You Know?" ‘

"The flowers are also grateful". ‘

"I'll wait until the flowers are gone", this must be it! ‘

The studio was very lively, and amid the audience's speculation one after another, a girl with a high-pitched voice shouted.

Xu Jianqiang said with a smile: "This audience is right, the name of this song is "I Wait for the Flowers to Thank You". This is a moving love song with a gentle melody and a sad and poignant lyrics. ‘

Everyone has heard Ye Zi's singing, which is sincere and touching, intriguing, and endless. These are things that everyone can see and hear, so I won't go into any more details. Let me talk about something that you may not have noticed. ‘

Xu Jianqiang paused slightly, and immediately continued.

I wonder if any viewers have ever heard of the term unplugged? Did anyone know? ‘

After waiting for a while, seeing that most of the audience were clueless, Xu Jianqiang smiled slightly and continued.

This unplugged is a proper noun sung by singers, and it is translated from the English word unplugged. This form of singing has been paid more and more attention by singers in the European and American music circles in recent years. I happened to be researching this unplugged singing a while ago, but I didn't expect to see the real unplugged singing in this competition, and the effect is amazing. ‘

Xu Jianqiang sighed, he was really interested in this.

Ye Zi changed the original orchestration arrangement in the singing of the song "I Wait for the Flowers to Thank You", and tried to use the 'unplugged' method to sing.

Judging by the reaction of the live audience. The effect is still quite good.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Jianqiang popularized the knowledge of 'unplugged' singing to the audience.

The so-called unplugged refers to a way in which the accompaniment band does not use electroacoustic instruments and electronic devices to modify the sound of the singer when singing, in addition to the sound system. Effects such as electronic synthesizers, electric guitar effects, electric bass effects, and electric drums cannot be used in unplugged singing. ‘

You can carefully recall that when Ye Zi was singing the second song just now. What are the accompanying instruments? Let's take a look. ‘

Xu Jianqiang's memory is very clear, and he will name the accompanying instruments in the second song one by one.

The whole first singing was accompanied by a grand piano, followed by an acoustic guitar in the interlude. When it was time to sing it for the second time, a second acoustic guitar, a wooden bass, a drum kit, a violin, and a string group were added to the accompaniment instruments. ‘

From beginning to end, the accompaniment for Ye Zi's singing is all real instruments, which are not carefully decorated by electronic equipment, and are directly connected to the sound system for sound reinforcement processing. ‘

It's called unplugged. Unplugged. ‘

There was a buzz in the studio again.

Tonight's audience really came to the right place, not only watched two exciting competitions, but also learned a lot of knowledge from the judges' comments that are difficult to access.

Take it out once in a while and show it off, it's definitely amazing!

The audience who thinks this way must have forgotten that this game was broadcast live on TV in Xiangjiang.

Ha ha!

In the live broadcast control room, the live broadcast director raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and there were still more than 20 minutes before the end of the live broadcast.

Next is Zhang Xueyou's guest singing, followed by the award. Time is still enough. Since the last Ye Zi contestant is so popular, let the judges say a few more words.

The live broadcast director made a decision.

Put it on the usual live show. He would never have decided that. A live broadcast program that calculates time by minutes, where can the judges be collectively irrigated!

'Ahem. ‘

Xu Jianqiang cleared his throat into the microphone, and the audience immediately fell silent.

The biggest advantage of this form of singing is that it is authentic. ‘

As you know, the development of modern electroacoustic technology and electronic technology is changing rapidly, and more and more electronic equipment is used in electroacoustic instruments. This is certainly a good thing. It is also the development of the trend of the times. But the proliferation of these electronic devices on electroacoustic instruments has also made the pop songs we hear every day no longer as pure as they used to be. ‘

For example, the distortion effect of an electric guitar, which is very suitable for some songs, but not for some songs. However, the current situation is. The distortion effect of the electric guitar is so widespread that it is used in almost any pop song. ‘

That's a headache. ‘

Xu Jianqiang, a composer, performer, and arranger, is extremely disgusted by such a phenomenon.

In the judges' seat, almost all the judges nodded in agreement. Such a situation is indeed becoming more and more widespread in today's pop music scene, and it is becoming more and more out of control.

Therefore, Ye Zi sang the song "I Wait for the Flowers to Thank You" in a novel and back-to-basics form of unplugged, which is really refreshing. For that reason alone, I would give him a high score for his singing. ‘

Also, you may not know that the two songs "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" and "I Wait Until the Flowers Are Thanks" are Ye Zi's personal works. He writes the lyrics, composes the music, and arranges the music by himself. ‘

Such a great, all-round singer certainly deserves to be raised a little bit more. ‘

Wow~~~

The audience applauded.

Xu Jianqiang's unexpected revelations made the audience's impression of Ye Zi more profound and distinct.

Pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, Xu Jianqiang finally said.

In addition, his singing tonight was indeed impeccable, so in the end I gave him a perfect score of 10. ‘

This perfect score is not only an evaluation of his wonderful singing of two songs, but also a compliment to his spirit of daring to innovate and experiment. ‘

Speaking of this, Xu Jianqiang looked at Ye Zi, who was listening respectfully on the stage, with a kind attitude and a stern tone of encouragement.

'Ye Zi, tonight's success is just the beginning, you still have a long, long way to go. ‘

I look forward to your future appearance, and I also look forward to the day when you can engrave your name in the history of Chinese pop music." ‘

I believe that as long as you maintain the spirit of hard work and struggle now, this day will definitely come! ‘

Xu Jianqiang's voice was full of expectation.

In the warm applause of the audience, Ye Zi bowed down again respectfully.

"Okay, thank you Professor Xu Lang and Judge Xu Jianqiang for their wonderful comments, go on"

Wait, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I still have a few words I want to ask Ye Zi. Just then, a female voice came out again.

Mei Yanfang took the microphone and smiled at Ming Tsai, who was speaking just now: "I'll just ask a few words, soon." ‘

The audience burst into laughter again.

This time, the post-game comments were full of 'accidents'. First, Xu Jianqiang directly snatched the opportunity of Professor Xu Lang's review, and now that Xu Jianqiang's review is over, the host is ready to continue, who knows that there will be judges who will be plugged in.

Such a change was really an eye-opener for the audience. (To be continued......)
