Chapter 027 Rehearsal

Chen Shuting and Lao Xie chatted for a long time, and when Lao Xie went back to his room to sleep, Chen Shuting took out the song "Forget It Doesn't Matter" to listen to it, and also checked the song on the Internet.

This song by Di Mingju was launched twelve years ago. At that time, it became popular as an episode of a hit historical drama, and then became popular all over the country.

At that time, Di Mingju was thirty-eight years old, which was the time when his career and voice were at the top.

This song is majestic and surging, a bit similar to Han Lei's "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years", although the melody and lyrics of the song are completely different, but the difficulty is the same.

doesn't rap skills, just has a voice, and letting a young man in his early twenties sing Han Lei's songs is like dressing a child in adult clothes, not only does not look like a human, but looks like a funny monkey!

That's how Chen Shuting feels. This has nothing to do with singing skills, and his voice is not suitable for this song.

"It's over. We officially finished recording until 9 p.m. on Saturday night, leaving the post-editing staff only three days, and it was impossible to fix the sound too well. Chen Shuting thought.

He didn't sleep much all night, and repeatedly took out "Forget That Doesn't Matter" and listened to it.

"The first is the breath, and the consumption of qi in this song is twice as much as that of a normal song. Fortunately, I have been running and exercising for half a year, and my breath can make up for two or three points.

The second is the load on the throat. Di Mingju was born in a family of singers since he was a child, and he practiced his voice when he was a child, and the muscles outside his throat were trained for more than 30 years to maintain the durability of his voice under such a high-intensity impact, and I couldn't do it at all" Chen Shuting analyzed the difficulties of this song.

The two difficulties of this song are in the breath and the load of the voice.

"Actually, the biggest difficulty is the audience's preconceptions." Chen Shuting thought again, "This song was popular back then, and most of the audience has heard it now, and if I go to cover it again, the power disparity is too great, and it is not pleasing at all." ”

Many singers will adapt some classic and difficult old songs to become popular again. But the premise is that they are equal to each other in order to complete a beautiful adaptation.

And the gap between Chen Shuting and Di Mingju is like a toddler, like a sprint champion competing for a sprint.

There is no comparison at all.

The next day, Chen Shuting stared at the big dark circles under his eyes, and he was weak to go to breakfast.

"Didn't sleep at night?" Lao Xie keenly saw Chen Shuting's exhaustion and asked.

"I slept for a while, but I didn't sleep well." Chen Shuting said, "My mind is full of that song. ”

"Don't embarrass yourself. Don't say that you sing, just change to a powerful singer in the thirties of the music world, singing this song is still a monkey and crown, Mr. Di Mingju's voice is unique, no one can learn it.

This song is a monument in the Chinese music scene, if the younger generations want to cross it, it must be talented, plus decades of hard work the day after tomorrow! Lao Xie said.

Lao Xie also spoke very highly of that song. Knowing that the song was difficult, Lao Xie was not too worried, he had already said hello to three of the five judges.

Besides, Chen Shuting was really brushed down, and Lao Xie had other work for Chen Shuting. This work was originally a temporary emergency, and Lao Xie didn't expect to watch this show to make Chen Shuting popular.

Therefore, Lao Xie is very calm.

"Indeed, Teacher Di Mingju's voice is thick and thick, this is innate, ordinary people can't compare, Brother Chen, you sing in your own way." Xiao Ling also comforted Chen Shuting, "The program team is too much, there is such a big problem." ”

"They have to brush people in the first round, so they increase the difficulty and try to have evidence to brush people down. After the second round, the songs of each issue are set by the contestants themselves, even if they are original, it is not so difficult. Lao Xie said.

Chen Shuting didn't know if he would be able to make it to the second round.

Even if he had a system to cheat, he wasn't confident.

The system is to give him help in singing, and singing the song "Don't Forget Yet" can only account for 30% of the singing skills, and the rest is the real breath and voice durability, which takes years of practice, and there is no shortcut.

"The program team didn't mean to make things difficult for you, but they have always been like this. In the first round of grouping, two songs that are easy to sing, six songs of medium difficulty, and two songs of super difficulty.

In this way, you can directly eliminate the two people who are difficult and eliminate one person who plays abnormally in the songs of medium difficulty. At the end of the edit, put the simple song at the beginning and the end. It's both relaxing and exciting. Lao Xie told Chen Shuting.

Chen Shuting finished watching the first season of this show, and he knows what Lao Xie said.

It's just that the previous ranking of this show was determined, and they would directly give two very difficult songs to the contestants who were to be eliminated. Chen Shuting is not an elimination player, so the songs he recorded before were relatively simple, and the difficulty was medium to low.

And this time, it was a lottery, and whoever drew it was unlucky. Chen Shuting was one of those two unlucky guys.

"It's okay, it's okay if it's eliminated." Chen Shuting said, "If I am eliminated in the first round, I am equivalent to 800,000 yuan to sing a song, and this value is almost catching up with Teacher Di Mingju." ”

Lao Xie and Xiao Ling both laughed.

Chen Shuting said it easily, but not at all in his heart. Now that you're on the battlefield, no one wants to lose!

All day long, Chen Shuting was figuring out this song.

The impetuousness in his heart slowly faded. He felt that no matter how hard he tried, he would not be pleasing when he sang this song, because without age and experience, he would not be qualified.

The other contestants either went out with a partner or an agent assistant, waiting for the rehearsal on the 21st, but Chen Shuting was locked in the room.

In the blink of an eye, it was the 21st.

The rehearsal was also in the TV studio.

This rehearsal is very different from the last one. During the rehearsal, the judges and other contestants are not present, and they cannot hear the voice and level of the opponent in advance.

This time, the players are really opponents!

They have to be graded by the judges and teachers, and they have to be graded by the web page.

The rehearsal started at 8 o'clock in the morning, and all ten contestants were in the large conference room arranged by the program team, and the order of the rehearsal was decided by lot. This order will not be broadcast, in order to edit a more reasonable appearance order in the later stage.

Chen Shuting won the sixth lottery.

Each contestant has about forty-five minutes to rehearse.

"Mr. Chen, the director said that the next five can go back to the hotel to rest first, and the rehearsal for the last five will start at three o'clock in the afternoon." Miss Wan, the assistant of the program team, said to Chen Shuting.

The other four players had already gotten up and left.

Chen Shuting had to go back first.

When he returned to the hotel, he lay down and took a nap for an hour. When it was almost 12 o'clock, he went to lunch with Lao Xie and Xiao Ling, chatted for a while, and rushed to the TV station's lounge at two o'clock in the afternoon.

In a blink of an eye, it was three o'clock, and the first rehearsal in the afternoon was Chen Shuting.

There is a band on stage, and there are five or six people in charge below, including the director, assistant director, and music director.

Unlike the last rehearsal, this time there were no judges and no other singers.

Chen Shuting's heart was slightly settled.

He still bought the "singing skills" system, because his voice has not been professionally practiced, and his five notes are incomplete, let alone such a difficult song. Although there are no judges and no scoring is required, Chen Shuting still spent money to buy "singing skills", he is afraid that his true level will be secretly photographed and put on the Internet.

This kind of thing can't be prevented, and you never know when someone will stab you.

The original owner was stabbed like this. He passed the draft, and just became a little popular, and the rehearsal video of his car accident scene was immediately uploaded to the Internet, which made his popularity instantly low.

"Xiao Chen, you can start." Seeing that the band was ready, the director said to Chen Shuting.

"Okay." Chen Shuting said.

He spent 150 gold coins to buy half an hour of singing, because the rehearsal takes about half an hour.

"It Doesn't Matter to Forget", the lyrics have been deeply imprinted in Chen Shuting's mind:

"The years are like a long river, and I flow quietly

Decades of ups and downs

The curtain is shallow in spring, and the bright moon and flowers are busy

The red-faced woman loves Yulang"

***

After singing the first stanza, he stopped.

"The proportion of the accompaniment has to be lowered, otherwise the sound will be too loud and overshadow Xiao Chen's voice, and he will need to work hard. This song originally consumes breath, and if you try harder, the voice is easy to be distorted" Before Chen Shuting could speak, the director spoke and conducted the band.

"Two dBs bigger than the entrance"

"The rhythm of the chorus should be strong"

There was no need for Chen Shuting to say anything, the music director corrected the band again, trying to make Chen Shuting's voice and the band have a perfect match.

After the first time, under the personal guidance of director Bai Qinian, Chen Shuting almost got along with the band without any major problems.

"It's hard." When Chen Shuting continued to rehearse on stage, the director and director muttered below, "Chen Shuting sings weakly." ”

"Di Mingju has the voice of the devil, and no one sings his songs brilliantly."

"It's too thin, Chen Shuting's voice is too thin, this song is not suitable for lyrical singing, so it looks bland."

"It's not bad, he can go up when he breaks out."

"The voice is not heavy, and when it erupts, it is also harsh, so it is better not to go up"

"That's right, such a thin explosive power is really harsh." Director Bai Qinian nodded at the director's words and nodded.

Chen Shuting sang it three times, and both the director and Bai Qinian felt that he sang a little miserably.

He didn't sing a tenth of the momentum of this song. However, his singing skills are still very good, and he is considered to be above average among young people, and he should have better results if he changes his song.

Chen Shuting himself could hear it.

"Alas!" After the rehearsal, Chen Shuting sighed several times in a row, and the feeling of powerlessness filled him.
