Chapter Forty-Six: Rivalry
"Dear colleagues, this kind of competition really has no value in judging." Gao Xiaosong seemed to be the leader among the crowd, and shook his head again and again in disappointment: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that even the Miss International Selection Alliance would engage in this level of beauty pageant?" What a ......."
"Lao Gao, don't be so sharp, you've offended a lot of people recently!" Qi Qin sneered and looked through the illustrated list of contestants, and after reading a few pages, he couldn't help but close the list: "But then again, these beauties ...... Uh-huh, the personal conditions really don't stand out that much......"
Zhang Qi, who had just mixed in, smiled secretly: It's not as simple as not being prominent, Brother Qi Qin is really good at avoiding the important and light......
As far as the appearance of these beauties is concerned, they know that they are beauty pageants, and they may think that this is a weight loss concentration camp.
Among the contestants, 60% of them are overweight, 30% are with irregular facial features, and the remaining 10% can barely be seen, but they also belong to the kind of Cheng dΓΉ who hovers left and right around the passing line......
"To be honest, there are also a number of results that can be handled, Gu Beiying, Wang Lin...... And what's the name of that player, Jin Xiaochan? There is also a little bit of meaning in singing. Gao Xiaosong shook his long hair: "To be honest, these players are far from professional players, and even street karaoke can find a few of them, but what can be done?" People have the conditions and ability to enter this platform, no matter how cynical we are, it's useless! Now choose a colt among the lame, and make do with it! β
Hearing these words, Zhang Qi couldn't help but tighten his chrysanthemum: I make up, Jin Xiaochan sang so well, so it was evaluated as having a little meaning...... It seems that it is really like what I am worried about, and it is a little hanging.
"I think the champion of this station is undoubtedly Mu Zifang's!" Gao Xiaosong saw that everyone was silent, and set the tone first: "We are professional judges, since we are professional, we must come up with professional perspectives and evaluation standards!" Although the rest of the contestants have outstanding performances, all of us here know that Mu Zifang is a semi-finished product, and it is not at the same level as those temporary laymen! Let me first show my attitude, I support Mu Zifang! β
"Teacher Gao, don't jump to conclusions so early." As a veteran of Hong Kong and Taiwan, Li Zongsheng smiled faintly and took a sip of tea.
"Oh, Mr. Li Zongsheng, don't call me that." Gao Xiaosong was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly stood up and shook hands with the other party: "You are an old-timer, just call me Xiao Gao, what do you think, just say it!" As juniors, we should naturally listen to it. β
Qi Qin naturally didn't have a temper, and nodded with him.
"Then I'll give you a little bit of my immature opinion." Li Zongsheng, as one of the godfathers of music with Luo Dayou, has a very humble and cautious attitude: "We have been saying that we are professionals, so we must judge from a professional perspective; to distinguish ...... But what exactly is a profession? What is Art? We must first understand this problem, and if we do not understand this problem, we will only emphasize singing skills and vocal range, which is to use the evaluation habits of industry rather than the evaluation criteria of art. β
"But you should have the necessary singing skills, right? Among these players...... Gao Xiaosong didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Zhang Qi: "Teacher Gao, drink tea." β
Li Zongsheng smiled and continued: "Actually, before I was 40 years old, I had the same opinion as you, thinking that personal vocal range conditions and technology come first, and nothing else has anything to do with music...... But then I realized I was wrong, what are we singing for? Impress others, impress the audience, and resonate with everyone's hearts! There are too many singers who emphasize singing skills but don't invest in emotion! This kind of singer is not only available in China, but also abroad! For example, the theme song that has been very popular recently, what is the theme song of the Ice and Snow Legend, I think it is the most obvious one! β
"Huh? You're talking about the Ice Saga theme song Eri enough? Gao Xiaosong was a little incredulous: "That's the most popular track now!" It is sung in the streets and alleys, and it is sung by many talent contestants...... You always say it's not professional enough? β
Zhang Qi suddenly interjected: "I also think that although that song is not popular, many people will follow it, but those people may not really like it...... I just think it's the most popular, and if I don't like it, I'll go out. β
"Who are you?" Gao Xiaosong glared at Zhang Qi unhappily: "We don't drink water, thank you." β
"Oh, I'm just a small dramatist, but it's because of my ordinariness that I think I'm more qualified to say something......" Zhang Qi faced the burning eyes of several judges, and did not panic at all: "I agree with Mr. Li Zongsheng's point of view, although it is necessary to have certain singing skills as a singer, but what about after having it?" β
Gao Xiaosong seemed to want to speak, but Li Zongsheng raised his hand to signal him to shut up.
"When I listened to Miss Jin Xiaochan's singing, I was really dared." Zhang Qi said bluntly: "I admit Miss Mu Zifang's strength, but at the level of spiritual resonance, Miss Jin's performance is a success!" β
"Very well, you said a good young man." Li Zongsheng also nodded again and again: "Now the trend of domestic imitation of foreign countries is very strict!" It should be said that imitation and plagiarism of foreign countries is no longer a trend of one or two years, since the eighties and nineties of the last century, many of our singers and songwriters have deliberately imitated the style of foreign bands, and even copied the original! After listening to Sammi Cheng's eyebrows, what does it feel like to hear Shake? After listening to Chen Huilin's Huahua Universe, what is it like to listen to the original Japanese version? What does it feel like to listen to Faye Wong's song and then listen to Carberry? Of course, Faye Wong still has her own things, and some imitators have gradually developed their own style from imitation, but most people fall into the cycle of imitation and imitation! If a foreign band doesn't release a new record, his new record can't be released......"
"But like the ice and snow legend Eri is enough in the theme song, it is also very exciting to listen to." Gao Xiaosong was said to be red-faced and tried to find a breakthrough.
"Well, I'll judge the song as a layman." Zhang Qiping played a lot of miscellaneous games, which came in handy at this time: "I have heard this song, first of all, the first weakness, the treble repeats the melody too much!" How many times does a lyric be repeated in a row in the later stages? The composer tried to use this method of serial repetition to achieve the release of the emotion, but it is still beautiful if you repeat it once or twice, three or four times, and it is a bit silly to repeat it all the time! β
"Why do you talk like that?" Gao Xiaosong's face couldn't hold back: "Can you be civilized?" β
"Alright! I'm civilized! Zhang Qi smiled faintly: "Let me ask, if simply repeating a few English letters can be inspiring, then we can simply learn to call donkeys!" What a voice higher than anyone! I'm not saying that in addition to the emotional and artistic level, the rest of the skills and vocal range are useless, just like what Mr. Li Zongsheng just said, as a singer, you must first put your own feelings into it, just like as a writer to substitute yourself into the work, as an actor to integrate yourself into the role! No matter how good your conditions are, you can always put yourself outside the performance, and you can't rely on skills alone! β
"The young man's statement is a bit extreme, but I basically see the same thing as him." Li Zongsheng was a little hesitant at first, but at this time he seemed to be moved by Zhang Qi's enthusiasm, and said everything in his heart: "I do have the same opinion, it's not that the moon in a foreign country must be rounder than ours!" Some good and advanced things we learn from nothing, some European and American music circles unique to some faults and dead ends, we should not hesitate to abandon! β
