44. Interesting facts about the preliminary round

After a short time, Bai Chan and the others got the title of the first audition song.

This song is called "Story of a Small Town", which is the most influential movie episode of Chinese songs in the eighties, and it is also a song used in many music teaching materials.

After Bai Chan got the track, he guessed the intention of the judges to choose this song.

This is a song that needs to rely on the most fundamental and important air singing method of pop singing, and the original singer Deng Jun can be said to be a very colorful forerunner and veteran singer in the Chinese music scene. With a very narrow vocal range and a thin timbre, this song has been sung into thousands of households. It was the album of this song and several other songs in it, together with the Sanyo tape recorder and cassette tapes invented by Little Japan, that brought pop music into the country and thousands of households in the true sense, and also let people know what pop music is. Music that is not popular belongs to popular music, such as good folk songs or new folk songs, which are rooted in Chinese classical music. And pop music doesn't necessarily have to be popular.

Pop singing is essentially the most fashionable, simplest and most down-to-earth of all music forms, and it is also the most influential music form. As far as this song "Tale of a Small Town" is concerned, if the singer is not trained by professional vocal cords and breath, he will directly sing crookedly, not to mention that Bai Chan has to improvise to sing the male score version.

Bai Chan, who got the song, has been taken to the waiting room by the staff, a group of 25 people, there are men and women, there is no doubt that this song is more suitable for female singers, there are a few elated and high-spirited, and some people are depressed and nervous. staged a simple appearance of beings.

Walking here, five minutes of preparation time, some people couldn't help but start practicing in a low voice, one after another, opening their voices to try out.

Bai Chan did not relax, and used his own unique method to open his throat and release some suppressed emotions by opening his voice.

Five minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and one after another the contestants were called to the stage, although they sang a single song, but few of them could get the judges to allow them to finish singing, most of them sang two lines, and were called down to wait for the score. Because in a closed room, you can't see the performance of other players. The people who were waiting watched the number of people in the room decrease one by one, and they became more and more nervous.

At this time, Bai Chan noticed that there was a male singer, who turned out to be a bright timbre, just like the neutral voice of the old man, humming in the original tune, with the beauty of the reverse string, Bai Chan saw his badge, which said Nominated by the popular music website, No. 23 contestant Zhang Wei, his singing skills are very solid, so that Bai Chan can't help but sigh that he can't underestimate the heroes of the world, such a non-professional singer has such strength. It can be seen that looking at the various competition regions across the country, it is not ordinarily difficult to get ahead.

In fact, Bai Chan had also participated in such a competition in his previous life, but his influence was far behind. For the competition, the most taboo is mediocrity, on the contrary, it is necessary to give full play to your own characteristics and expertise. After listening to a song 25 times, it is still a song that everyone is familiar with, and anyone will be a little bored. In this way, it will also test the strength and characteristics of everyone in the school.

And in such a competition, the most dominant player is this player with a unique timbre like No. 23.

Thinking of this, Bai Chan's eyes lit up, since it was for everyone to sing, the male contestants would definitely choose to lower the tone except for the one just now, otherwise it would be easy to sing or deviate. And this song is not a high-pitched song, so why don't you lower your voice to subvert it.

He has a deep impression of Cai Qin's song "Your Eyes" sung by Zhao Peng, who was known as a subwoofer in his previous life.

In the vocal range, there is a saying that the highest is no more than a soprano and the lowest than a bass. The female voice is on the bright side, and the male voice is on the thick side. Therefore, tenors and basses with high standards are very rare. Although his timbre is also relatively unique, after all, it is still in the range of a normal person, and blindly upgrading to the female score to sing this song will destroy the lazy soft beauty of the original song.

I simply have two lifetimes of experience, and now I have a good voice, and if I work harder, I can use the extreme sound to impress the judges very deeply. And this best highlights the characteristics of male singers.

So Bai Chan, who had made up his mind, couldn't help but use the low F to the limit, that is, the F two octaves lower and one minus three degrees lower than the central C, and sang the story of the small town. This unusual pitch suddenly attracted the attention of the remaining players in the room. Especially the other extreme No. 23 Zhang Wei, when he heard such a voice that was almost the most manly and the lowest, he stopped singing in a daze, looked at Bai Chan's eyes with envy like jealousy, and then put on his neutral feminine face, like an abandoned deep resentful woman. And the other contestants in the room couldn't help but scolded in a low voice after hearing Bai Chan's second sentence not rising but descending to E, and then to the third sentence, no, it was the limit of human beings due to low-D, and there was not a trace of bubble sound that was sung to the real sound:

"Damn, is this a human being! You don't want to sing operas, and you come to grab a hairy job with us. ”

"That's it, this is the legendary stately bass! Oh my God, it's the first time I've heard such a man's voice! ”

"Rub, do you say that the accompanist will be scared stupid later, such a voice, without a double bass, will directly destroy the singing, straight, the judge teacher will probably fall to the ground with his eyes!"

A female singer looks at Bai Chan's eyes with stars, which shows the charm of Bai Chan's voice at the moment, and the magnetism and mellowness in the real interpretation of the male voice, like a bowl of local sorghum wine from the old Northeast, which is evocative and addictive.

It seems that not swearing is not enough to express their shock and surprise. Looking at Bai Chan's immature face, which is only twenty years old, has such a voice that is low enough to be a lyrical tenor singer of opera, saying that he does not envy, jealousy and hatred, that is a saint, and there is no singer who does not care about his vocal range and timbre. At this time, seeing a timbre and bass in the group that almost crushed them, I was envious and a little unlucky. A group will only advance to 5-10 places, and with such a ghost, their chances are even less!

So thinking of these depressed points, they couldn't help crying for a while, and the workers who came to call for the competition were startled, God knows how they can give full play to their original strength when they come to the stage like this, and will they be shadowed by Bai Chan's bass from now on.

In fact, many people will think that bass is a low sound, and high sound is a high sound. That's not wrong, but it's not right! This is not a refutation.

Bass is only a pitch and scale location, not a sound size. Staying constant at a semitone, like Bai Chan, can also increase the volume by increasing the breath impact on the vocal cords, but this will undoubtedly be more difficult and test the control of the sound. It's like the same song, when played at a different volume, it will sound different, but the pitch is recorded and will not change.

The pronunciation and articulation of Chinese itself are biased towards the shallow part of the larynx, and there will be more oral sounds. Such a voice is not as powerful as English in Europe and the United States, and it is not as naturally biased towards singing as Italian. Therefore, Bai Chan's voice talent is more suitable for the mid-bass or bass interpretation of Chinese, which is the sound that Chinese people usually like to listen to. With such an opponent, it doesn't matter if the men and women in the room have envious, jealous and hateful expressions.

If there's one word to describe how they feel at the moment, it's amazing!

The extreme of bass is a unique label among male singers, outstanding. Zhang Wei, who was originally calm and confident, thought that he would sing on the same stage with such an opponent in the future, Rao was extremely confident, and he couldn't help but feel a little Alexander!

At this time, he couldn't help but throw a nickname to Bai Chan, who had not faded his youthfulness, subwoofer!

If he had to add one more sentence, it would be:

Damn, bull break!
