Chapter 919: Guiding the Big Names
When Chu Yang said the word "guidance", he didn't feel anything himself. After all, he is a music monk, and when it comes to guidance in music, he is undoubtedly a master in the face of ordinary people in the audience who still don't know anything about music cultivation.
But the problem is that these people are stars who have been famous for a long time. Since he is a star, no matter how good his personality and character are, he will still have the arrogance he should have. After all, they have already made great achievements in their respective fields and are the best!
It's been a long time since anyone has said the word mentoring to them.
Therefore, when they heard Chu Yang's words, except for people like Mao Yishao who had really accepted his "guidance", their faces were excited, and most of the others were a little unimpressed. But they were all smart not to put these expressions on their faces, because they knew that it was their boss who was sitting on the stage at the moment. Since the boss wants to "show" his professional talents, it is good to cooperate with him, anyway, they have no shortage of such things.
It feels like at a big party, a big leader has to perform on the same stage, of course, the level is amateur, but they still have to work hard to encourage. There will be some psychological barriers at first, but slowly it will get better.
"Sister Na, let them start." Chu Yang smiled ♂ and said to Na Ying, who was sitting in the front row of the audience.
"Okay Chu Yang." Na-young said as she handed him a program list.
Tao Liping also received this program list at the same time, and when she saw the above program, she had the feeling of seeing the "same song" concert.
The stars are shining, and all the tracks are masterpieces.
"Hello to the fathers and villagers of Zhongxian!"
"Hello everyone!"
"Strengthen the construction of spiritual civilization and build a civilized homeland together, here is a special performance of Zhongxian culture in the countryside. I'm Dong Jing! ”
"I'm Chen Jun!"
……
The two famous mouths of CCTV stood in the center of the stage, and under the professional lighting and stage art, the effect presented was simply beautiful, and suddenly a feeling of being tall and tall came to the face!
Tao Liping looked at such a lineup, and was already a little numb from shock. She can already imagine that such a show once appeared in Zhongxian. What a sensation it will be!
These are the top storage of professional actors, don't look at it as just a rehearsal, but in Tao Liping's opinion, there is already a level no less than a formal performance!
The show officially began.
With a familiar prelude, a pair of popular combination spoon brothers took to the stage.
"I planted a seed, it finally bears fruit, and today is a great day"
"Pluck the stars for you, pluck the moon for you......"
……
As soon as the rhythm of the classic "Little Apple" sounded, there was a feeling of square dancing.
This song "Little Apple", which is popular all over the country. Now that they appeared on the stage in the form of a live-action original song, these "artists" from Zhongxian County who came with Tao Liping suddenly felt eye-opening!
It's the rhythm of a free professional-level party!
However, before he was excited for twenty seconds, the singing on the stage was stopped by Chu Yang.
The spoon brothers looked at this little boss who was younger than them, and didn't know what was going on, you look at me, I look at you. The two of them were a little baffled.
Chu Yang didn't look at them, but beckoned to Na Ying in the audience. called her over, and then said, "Sister Na, how do they use lip-syncing?" ”
As soon as the two of them started singing, Chu Yang could hear it. These two people are lip-syncing pairs of the original recordings.
Who is he? This kind of lip-syncing singing can be heard by the ears.
Hearing Chu Yang ask about this, Na Ying explained, "Chu Yang. It's not lip-synching. The song was still sung by the two of them, but during the performance, because of the strenuous exercise, there was no way to maintain a steady dìng breath, so the recording was played. They were originally original singers. How can it be lip-syncing? ”
Hearing Na Ying's words, Chu Yang frowned and said, "That's also lip-syncing." As a singer, when performing on stage, it is not really a sound, but lip-syncing, what is this not lip-syncing? ”
Seeing that Chu Yang was more serious on this issue, Na Ying was also a little helpless. In fact, this situation is common, not that the singer doesn't want to sing, but in some outdoor performances, the effect of real singing is not good. One is that there is no time to install professional audio equipment like those in the professional stage, and the other is to sing in the open, the effect will be greatly reduced, in this case, if the singer's singing skills are worse, it is likely to sing very poorly. These people are all stars, if they really sing such an effect, won't they smash their own brand? The performers didn't want to, and neither did the audience.
Lip-syncing doesn't have this problem. Singers can perform on stage without worrying about breathing, position, and other singing problems, and the effect is good, so why not?
So now at large-scale galas, some singers, especially pop singers, generally sing in this form. Because many of them need to do a lot of dance moves on stage, and standing quietly in the studio to record is completely different, and there is no way to add post-processing, if you actually sing, there will inevitably be false sounds and trills. So it can only be sung in this way.
Chu Yang listened to Na Ying's explanation, shook his head and said: "For a real singer, you should really sing at all times, this is a kind of respect for the audience, and it is also a minimum of confidence in yourself." ”
When he said this, he said to Na Ying: "Let them change to the real accompaniment tape, not only them, but all the singing programs of our party must be really sung!" ”
"This ...... All right. Although I feel that Chu Yang's request is a bit unkind, he is the boss, and since he has put it forward, Na Ying can't say anything else.
She immediately took the microphone from Brother Spoon's hand and made the decision out.
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of discussion in the audience.
"Is there any mistake? Let's really sing? This is a performance in the countryside! ”
"The audio equipment is not good, can the real singing effect come out?"
"Isn't this nonsense? He's the boss, and he can't let him mess around like this! ”
……
Hearing the decision to really sing, these people were immediately a little resentful.
In another corner, Tao Liping was a little emotional.
Lip-synching has almost become an open secret in the industry. Not to mention these top stars, even their small performances in the county. Most of those who sang were also recorded in the city's recording studio, and then lip-synced during the performance. This is not only trouble-free, but also effective, and avoids accidents to the greatest extent.
She didn't expect that Chu Yang would actually ask these first-line big-name stars to really sing. You know, they are all famous figures. If you really sing an accident, it's no better than those little stars, it's going to smash the signboard!
The two spoon brothers looked at each other, and finally walked in front of Chu Yang.
The two of them didn't dare to get angry, after all, the person in front of them was their leader, and he was the best in the Chinese pop music scene. However, the two of them calmly stated the reason.
"Mr. Chu, it's not that we don't want to sing, it's just that the dance movements in our song are too much exercise, and if we really sing, it will affect the breath!"
Chu Yang looked at these two people. smiled and comforted: "It's okay, you just sing it, I'll listen to what the effect is, if it really affects it very strictly, I have a way." ”
Well, everyone has said this, what else can they say? Sing it!
The music started again, only this time there was no sound. If two people don't sing, there is only accompaniment!
"I planted a seed. Finally bearing fruit, today is a great day"
……
I have to say that Huayin Entertainment itself is a performance company dedicated to serving these stars, and the sound effects and tuners are really good, although the sound effects of Donglin Cultural Palace are also very good, but it is a little worse than this kind of professional-level. At the moment, it was replaced by real singing. At the beginning, the voices of the two spoon brothers couldn't hear too many problems, basically the same as the original sound!
Many people don't understand the difference between stage performance and singing KTV, in their opinion, they just hold the microphone and sing along with the accompaniment. In fact, real performances and singing karaoke at KTV are completely different things. When singing in KTV, the voice is reverberated. A lot of modifications have been added, of course, this modification is very rough because of the low-end of KTV equipment, but in the voice of the singer himself, the voice has an "echo", and it is very bright and big, but I think the effect is very good. In fact, this kind of sound is very uncomfortable to the audience, and it is not good at all. This sound, in the field of professional recording and performance, is called "wet sound", that is, a modified sound.
In the songs recorded in the studio, the singer's voice that is finally heard by the listener is an unadorned "dry sound" with no reverberation. If this kind of sound is listened to by the singer himself, it is very, very uncomfortable, and you will feel that the sound has no color, so let's do it, but in fact, in the audience, this kind of sound is the best, because it is real!
Therefore, in a real professional stage performance, many people will notice that the singer wears a headphone on his ear, and some people think that it is used to listen to the accompaniment, in order to avoid being too noisy to hear the accompaniment. Actually, that's just one of the features, the more important function of this headset is to listen to the processed "wet sound". The singer sings live, and the sound that comes out is processed by a professional mixer and divided into two ways, one is the sound that has been processed at the recording level, which is played to the audience, and the other is the sound with polish, which is only returned to the singer to listen, so that he can hear a comfortable "wet sound" to maintain the state of singing. This earphone is also called "return".
And now, the tuner can actually make the "dry sound" played on the stage sound no different from the original song, which is of course due to the singer's strength, but it is also directly related to the solid tuning skills.
"The real singing is so good!" Tao Liping and the people behind her saw such a performance, and they immediately showed surprise! Because to them, they could hardly hear the difference from what they had just sung!
But to Chu Yang's ears, compared with the recording effect of this "Little Apple" just now, it is a big problem.
First of all, because of the unstable breath caused by dance, he heard it with his ears. Secondly, because of the strenuous exercise, it also brought some problems in pitch, which are not a big problem for ordinary people, but in the ears of a master like him, the problem is very serious!
"I guess the second half will be even worse." Chu Yang muttered in his heart.
Sure enough, because the performance form of this "Little Apple" is basically half song and dance, under the vigorous dance movements. When the second half of the song was sung by two people, there was obviously more vibrato, and the pitch was also a big problem!
By now, not only Chu Yang could hear it, but even Naying and some other actors in the audience had heard it. In the last part, even Tao Liping and they heard it.
"Not easy. It's not easy. It seems that these singers have real kung fu. Tao Liping listened to their singing and said with emotion.
From the perspective of ordinary audiences, I just saw that their singing effect this time was much worse than the previous one, but only those of them who are professional can understand that it is really difficult to control the breath, rhythm, and pitch after performing a song after really singing and dancing!
can do this, the spoon brothers can definitely afford to be a first-line superstar!
Even many big names in the audience nodded frequently! The spoon brothers didn't debut for long. and only sang three songs, but the first of the three songs is a classic, and each of them is a smash hit, which also shows the deep artistic skills of this pair of post-80s generations from one side. And on today's stage, the two of them showed off their singing skills.
After the two of them finished singing this song, they were both panting violently. This is also normal, the song "Little Apple" is already very dynamic. If you sing and dance at the same time, and you have to do both to the end. The consumption of the body lì is considerable. In the final analysis, singers are not athletes, although they usually do some physical training, but they are still a little unbearable when they encounter this kind of singing that consumes a lot of physical energy.
The two of them set their eyes on Chu Yang, waiting for the boss's evaluation. Or rather, "pointing".
There was a burst of applause from the audience, and many people showed admiration in their eyes. are also artists, and they know that the two brothers on stage have just shown a very high level!
Chu Yang stood up and walked towards the two of them.
"Mr. Chu!"
"Mr. Chu!"
The two of them said hello to Chu Yang.
"You're welcome, you can call me that at work. Not on stage. Let me briefly talk about what you two just sang! Chu Yang waved his hand and interrupted the two of them.
"I really need guidance!"
"This kind of performance is already perfect, what is there to say?"
"He's sung bel canto, does he understand pop?"
……
These artists in the audience, seeing this young boss at this moment, really put on a guiding posture, they all whispered about it.
"The song of the two of you is the opening, and you have to warm up the scene, so you have to let go a little more in singing, especially when you are really singing, your voice should be as relaxed as possible, and find out how you feel when recording the MV. Also, regarding the question of this breath, I feel that you are struggling in the second half of the period, so I will teach you two a little trick! ”
Chu Yang said, put his hand in a place in the center of the back of the two people, and pressed it gently.
"When moving and breathing, remember this position, which is the support point for the whole body. When exerting force, you should also use this place as a support. You've all learned how to make sounds, so I won't say more about support. ”
The position that Chu Yang pressed was actually a very critical position in the Qi Refining Decision. According to the theory of Chinese medicine in this world, there is an acupuncture point there, but the Xiuzhen world does not refer to it as an acupuncture point. This is a support level, and if you want to stay in this position, the breath will get a very stable support!
It's just a very simple little trick, but it's a skill built on a cultivator's very deep understanding of the anatomy of the human body!
Cultivators have the cultivation of the true element, the cultivation of the body, the cultivation of the soul, etc., but no matter what they cultivate, in the beginning, the body is the most important link. Because when you are nothing, your body is your most important thing, and you have to rely on your body to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, nourish your soul, and collect cultivation resources...... No matter how advanced the exercises are, no matter how good the external conditions are, without a good body, it is useless.
Therefore, in Buddhism, it is said that the body is "the treasure of the world", and this is the truth.
To amplify it, to do anything, you must have a good body as the foundation. "The body is the capital of the revolution" is a good saying.
"Breath support? It turned out to be such a simple theory, I thought that our chairman had some high opinions. ”
"It's just, isn't this something that children learn in their vocal class?"
……
These big names in the audience, seeing this little boss, told such a theory, and they were all a little dumbfounded!
The spoon brothers are also a little funny. Although they are singing pop, they don't even understand the simple theory of breath support, right, this boss really treats the two of them as amateur singers?
It's just that the place he pressed seems to be a little special, and it is a little different from what the vocal teacher said when he was in vocal class.
Under this stage, only people like Mao Yishao, who had received Chu Yang's guidance before and knew the magic, would really look at the two people on the stage with envy!
"This press is worth a thousand gold!" Mao Yishao sighed in his heart.
She now practices breathing and maintaining her voice every day according to the method taught by Chu Yang, and when she sings, the benefits are simply too great!
If the body is a musical instrument, these methods taught by Chu Yang are to adjust this instrument to the best state!
No crackling, no fatigue, no unsteady breath...... Almost every minute and every second, you can bring out your best performance!
It's a feeling that only singers who have experienced it know how wonderful it is!
Chu Yang also told them some simple breathing essentials, all of which were a few small methods extracted from the "Qi Refining Decision".
After they were all finished, he smiled at the two and said, "Sing it again!" (To be continued......)
