Chapter 414: "Music Turns Around"
After giving Yiyan a few demonstrations of bass drums, Du Xinghe immediately passed on his experience: "You should increase the pressure in your lungs appropriately when pronouncing the words, but don't use your lungs too much, otherwise there will be a breath of air." If you don't make a bassy sound, you need to relax your lips properly. ”
Yi Yan followed Du Xinghe's example at that time and tried to "boom" a few times, but the sound was relatively fluttering, and there was no feeling of a bass drum.
Du Xinghe smiled and pointed at Yi Yan: "You have to tighten your lips, like me, to let the air escape, not let it out." You learn from me to pronounce the 'puh' sound, then take out the 'UH' sound, only the 'p' sound that you just pronounced, and try not to pronounce the 'UH' sound as much as you can. Don't mix it with breathing or air noise, but once you've got it right, you'll be able to strengthen your lips a little bit, allowing more air to escape in a split second, and you'll have a louder sound like a kick drum (the kind of drum you kick with your feet in a drum kit). ”
After Du Xinghe demonstrated the most important bass drum sound to Ihiko at that time, he taught Ihiko the sound of the snare drum, which is also one of the more difficult sounds in the beatbox. He explained to Ihiko, "To make the sound of snare drums, you can try these two most common methods. The first one is similar to the bass drum, use the front part of your lips, press it a little tighter, you try it, put the 'F' and 'sh' in the back, so that the whole sound is like a mechanical snare drum, spray 'ish' first. Try 'ish' without 'sh', and only keep the explosive sound at the beginning of the first pronunciation. It must be short and have a sense of pause. You can do that 'grunting' sound in the back of your throat and push hard in your throat as you pronounce it, so that there is a powerful starting explosive sound. When you're done well and finish with 'sh', you'll find the synth-style snare drum sound. You can also move the grunt sound so that it feels like it's coming from the lower layers of your throat and do the bass drum sound, and vice versa, the treble drum sound. ”
Du Xinghe's terminology. For Ihiko, who also has solid musical skills. It's not difficult to understand, Du Xinghe taught him almost hand-in-hand, so that Yiyan quickly learned the two most basic vocalizations, but he was not proficient yet.
Du Xinghe struck while the iron was hot. Coherently, Ihiko taught a lot of ways to use the beat to breathe quickly in the beatbox. The master of beatbox is doing a show. It looks as if they don't need to breathe at all, but in fact, they all subtly integrate their breath into the spitting beat.
Yiyan and Du Xinghe studied for a week, which can be regarded as a small success. can be proficient in beatbox, Du Xinghe gave him a new version of "Flower Heart".
Although in terms of proficiency and explosive performance, Yiyan is far inferior to Du Xinghe, who has magical ventriloquism, but he relied on this unique skill, and when recording "Music Turns Around", all the stars on the scene, including the eldest brother host Liu Yunfei, were shocked.
Shen Yuliang, the producer of "Music Turns", is a very talented producer in the industry, and the stars who participated in "Music Turns" performed many special talents were recommended by Shen Yuliang to them and let them practice.
For Yi Yan, a newcomer, Shen Yuliang originally didn't pay attention to him at all, let alone mention anything to him, Shen Yuliang thought that Yi Yan was an outsourced newcomer sent by Guoyu, and before filming, he put Yi Yan into the range of crazy cuts. The so-called crazy cut is to cut out most of the shots of Ihiko's participation in the show. Because for such an unknown newcomer, there is really no explosive point in the ratings to talk about, and he is not a relational household, so the program team naturally wants to cut off most of his share. Even when the camera crew was filming, they didn't shoot much of Yiyan's shots, and before Yiyan performed ventriloquism, when Liu Yunfei took a group of singers to interject and chat, the camera crew almost never gave Yiyan a shot of Yiyan standing in the most marginal position.
After it was Yiyan's turn to perform a special talent, everyone on the scene was stupid, they had never seen such a magical ventriloquist, Yiyan actually "beat the drum" for himself and sang "Flower Heart"! This made everyone impressed with this song and him as a person!
Shen Yuliang felt that this performance might trigger a ratings climax, not only did he completely retain Yiyan's special talent in the editing, but also cut it into a very eye-catching opening trailer and put it at the front of the show.
When watching "Music Turns", many viewers will first watch the preview at the front to increase their expectations for this episode. Usually only very wonderful performances, or particularly funny plots, will be cut to the front as a trailer.
Ihiko's beatbox ventriloquist is a special talent that is rare for newcomers who can be cut to the beginning of the film as a trailer for the first time on "Music Turn".
After Yi Yan finished performing at that time, the well-informed brother Liu Yunfei was shocked, and pulled him to chat about this ventriloquist, Yi Yan knew at this time that his performance must have won the affirmation of the program team.
Later, after getting off the show, the enterprise announcement with Yiyan on the side of the National Entertainment also told Yiyan, and Shen Yuliang, the producer, was very satisfied with his performance. In the next few issues, Ihiko may be invited to appear on "Music Turn", which is a very rare publicity opportunity, and newcomers can generally only promote this popular show once. Even if it is a newcomer promoted by National Entertainment, it is rare to be able to do it twice in a row. Yiyan can be regarded as an eye-opener for the publicity team of National Entertainment.
Although he knew that the promotion of "Music Turnaround" was very good, Ihiko didn't know what the final version would look like. Although he has appeared on two entertainment news programs to promote new songs, they are both "flash-by" types of less than two minutes, which is not at all like being on TV, like going through the motions.
"Music Turn" is the first time that Ihiko has appeared on TV for a long time, and it is still such a popular show, so I am looking forward to the premiere of the latest episode of "Music Turn".
At half past seven o'clock in the evening of Friday, March 30, Yiyan had no schedule, so he stayed in the company and watched the latest issue of "Music Turn" in the conference room with Du Xinghe, Duan Xiaoxuan and others.
"Do you want to see what it's like to play a drum with your mouth? In today's show, the audience and friends are going to have Yanfu. The newcomer singer Ihiko will bring us wonderful rhythm ventriloquism - "Flower Heart"! The opening trailer released at the beginning of the show was directly a ventriloquist clip of Ihiko: "...... Boom...... Boom...... Boom...... Bang bang ...... Boom...... Boom...... Boom...... Bang bang ......"
In the short shot, Ihiko blows the rhythm drum beat with his mouth into the microphone, which sounds like he is really playing with an electronic drum, although he hasn't sung yet, but this ventriloquist is already breathtaking!
Duan Xiaoxuan drank bubble tea and praised: "Brother Yan, you are too handsome!" It was cut into the trailer! ”
Yi Yan modestly scratched the back of his head and smiled, "I didn't expect it either." As he spoke, he looked at Du Xinghe. complimented: "It's a shame that the little boss let me practice this stunt." Otherwise, there will definitely not be such a good publicity effect. All the credit goes to the little boss! ”
Du Xinghe knew that Yi Yan was a very delicate person, and he had a little problem with praising people's sycophants, so he smiled and slapped him: "You are a professional singer now, and you will definitely become popular in the future." You're going to have to take away what your PR manager looks like. Don't keep slapping people. ”
Yiyan was laughed at what Du Xinghe said. continued to pat him: "I'm not patting you on the back, I really think the credit is all due to you, this rhythm ventriloquist you invented." B what BOX, it's really amazing! ”
Du Xinghe shook his hand and said: "This is not my invention, it was invented by black Americans, didn't Xu Nuo go to the United States this time, she brought back some American magazines and music albums, I learned from there." ”
Duan Xiaoxuan praised: "Little boss, you are so powerful, you can turn waste into treasure and make the dregs of the Americans so powerful, I admire you so much." ”
Yi Yan heard Du Xinghe say this, and nodded in admiration, he, like Duan Xiaoxuan, thought that the music played by Americans was very boring, but he didn't expect Du Xinghe to be able to make such an interesting skill from the boring things of Americans, this is definitely a genius!
Du Xinghe gave a lesson to the two of them and said: "Don't always say that the music of Americans is dross, yes, their music history is indeed not as long as the music history of our country, but their modern music is not all dross, and there are many things worth learning." Remember, music knows no borders. As long as it's good, we should absorb it, accept it, transform it, and finally become our own style, you know? ”
Duan Xiaoxuan and Yi Yan smiled at the same time and nodded in response. In fact, in the eyes of their traditional Fuwan himself, Chinese speaking Chinese, if you want to sandwich an English word or something between the lines, it will seem very awkward, and even feel like an idiot, they don't understand why the other party doesn't Chinese it well, and they have to speak ugly English.
But Du Xinghe pops out an English word from time to time, coupled with his kind of musical genius temperament that runs through China and the West, the two of them will feel very pleasant, not idiotic at all, and even a little profound.
Idols always have an exemplary role.
Under the influence of Du Xinghe, Duan Xiaoxuan had a little desire to learn English, because she couldn't understand many things Du Xinghe said.
The last time she was exposed to English was when she was in an extracurricular interest group in elementary school, and after so many years of schooling and a few years in society, she didn't have more opportunities to get in touch with English.
Now she can't even forget whether the English alphabet has 27 letters or 28 letters (it's actually 26, don't be mistaken).
If you want this chubby girl to say the Chinese pinyin "Abcdtnl", it is okay for her to speak the English alphabet, ABCDEFJ can, and after that, she will not speak smoothly.
Yiyan's English is slightly stronger, after all, he is doing public relations work, and he has a wider range of contacts, and he still understands simple English vocabulary, especially some English words related to music and magazines, and he knows them all.
While the three of them were chatting, the latest issue of "Music Turns Around" kicked off.
As in previous episodes, as soon as this episode of the show came up, it was still the eight participating singers who sang live skewers like marquees.
This episode of the show has a super-big guest - Xiangjiang actor Liang Sichao, this 28-year-old handsome guy, and Tony Leung when he was young in the last plane, he has a bit of a melancholy and deep temperament from his bones, and there are many fans all over the country.
Recently he performed and sang in early March. just released a new Cantonese album "Missing You, Missing Her", and during this time, I happened to come to Fuwan to do promotion, and I was on the same period as Yiyan on "Music Turn".
Since it is a big-name guest, it is natural to sing the finale.
Liang Sichao was the last to sing in turn.
Speaking of which, this actor's acting skills are not picky, but his singing skills are really not good, although his records sell well, but in fact, his fans give him face, because his movies are good. So Aiwu and Wu bought his albums. If he didn't act in movies and just relied on this pretended hoarse voice to sing, it would probably have been sold out on the street a long time ago.
According to the authoritative number of statistics, as of March 29. That is, the day before. Liang Sichao's "Missing You. Missed Her" album ranked 11th on the monthly sales chart with 950,000 copies, one place ahead of him. It was Xu Nuo's "Little Bird" album.
After more than three months of hot sales, the monthly sales of "Little Bird" finally dropped to less than 1 million copies in this March spring. Although the monthly sales have declined significantly, the New Year's Eve sales of "Little Bird" are still climbing, and it is estimated that after this month, the album will be able to squeeze into the top 50 of the annual sales list with more than 8 million copies in four months.
Although Liang Sichao's "Miss You, Miss Her" sold only 950,000 copies a month, it is quite good among Cantonese albums. After all, Cantonese records account for less than a quarter of the record market. Generally, singers of the same level, who release Mandarin and Chinese records, can sell almost three times as many Cantonese records. So if you multiply the sales of Liang Sichao's "Miss You, Miss Her" record by three to compare Chinese records, it is quite an amazing achievement.
In addition to Liang Sichao in this issue, the second-biggest singer is the little diva of national entertainment, like Chen Huilun, the queen of the neighbor known as the four golden flowers - Gong Yueling.
This 26-year-old "little diva", who combines pure temperament with the queen's heritage, looks relatively ordinary at first glance, but will be very exciting when you take a closer look, in fact, she has no plan to release a film, purely because she likes Liang Sichao so much, so she forced the company to trust her relationship and get her this episode.
According to the gossip that Yi Yan heard from the national entertainment company that brought him, the two singers that the national entertainment wanted to promote in this issue of "Music Turn", one is him, and the other is a female newcomer who will also release a film at the end of April.
Later, Gong Yueling had to go to this issue of "Music to Watch", and in the end, as a last resort, the national entertainment side withdrew the notice of the female newcomer, which was then stuffed in for Gong Yueling.
It was actually Yiyan who was going to change at the beginning of Guoyu, after all, Yiyan is not a singer of Guoyu. But then Xiao Tianlang said: "Go-you-mother-of-egg!" scolded Gong Yueling's agent, Gong Yueling's agent didn't dare to bully Yiyan, turned to attack the female newcomer, and squeezed the female newcomer.
The enterprise announcement with Yiyan is because it belongs to Xiao Tianlang's team, so he describes this as a bit of an acting color, but Yiyan still feels that Xiao Tianlang is extremely domineering, Du Xinghe can let Xiao Tianlang's team push him, he is really content, and he is also grateful.
The other five singers in this issue are more ordinary, three of them are specialized variety show singers, and they come to this show purely to set off the atmosphere of the show, make the show very funny, and make the audience laugh.
Yiyan is singing in turn with such a funny variety show singer.
At this time, the TV showed the round singing performance of the variety show singer named Wang Yilun in front of Yi Yan.
He covered a dynamic dance song "Balloon" by the dance king Guo Allen.
……
Listen to the wind and count the rhythm ~ The sun waving and waving ~
This is the time to chase dreams~ It says to come on~
I want to fly to the universe ~ to travel in outer space ~ Even if the wind and rain will meet~ you can't lower your head~
……
I don't know if it's a slow reaction or deliberately funny, as soon as Wang Yilun came up, he didn't keep up with the beat of the live band teacher, and the band teacher followed Wang Yilun's rhythm to find the beat for a long time, but Wang Yilun also wanted to find the beat of the band teacher, but the more he looked for it, the more chaotic he became, and he sang it completely into the wrong beat, and the back listener Liu Yunfei's eldest brother laughed, and the singer next to him couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Wang Yilun's watch.
Wang Yilun let go and continued to sing hard.
……
Like that flying balloon~
Singing all the way ~ Walk forward ~
Because there is ~a rainbow ahead~
Beauty can't be missed~
……
Like that flying balloon~
I want to fly over to ~the end of the sky~
I want to make friends with the stars~
Let's look at the beautiful moon together~
……
This song was already a bit funny, but when Wang Yilun sang it in an even more funny way, Du Xinghe laughed helplessly.
Duan Xiaoxuan even chewed the pearls in the milk tea while making a stunt: "This guy sings really badly!" It's not on the beat at all! The band teachers are all on fire with him, right? ”
Yiyan smiled: "He did it on purpose, he had discussed with the band teacher before, and he wanted to go up and sing blindly." ”
Du Xinghe can hear it, in fact, this Wang Yilun is not blindly singing, otherwise there will be no comedic effect, but pure harshness and unpleasantness.
Wang Yilun was deliberately singing by mistake, and he seemed to be very slow to react, looking silly and funny. In fact, to put it mildly, this kind of singing actually requires the singer to have a super sense of musicality, otherwise if a beat is not stepped on well, the whole situation may be messed up, and it will not end up in the end.
Seeing Wang Yilun singing so well in random beats, Du Xinghe suddenly remembered Liao Nan in his mind. (To be continued......)
