Chapter 3: The First Performance of "That Girl"
At the beginning, Fang Xing didn't have much interest in variety shows, and he could concentrate on making music when he left the show, so he didn't care if he was eliminated or not.
Now, though, I've changed my mind.
I can not compare, but no one can knock me out.
This kind of fish pond bureau variety show draft, can a demon king-level singer still lose?
However, judging from the current top ten on the popularity list, after tonight's performance, it will be ironclad out.
As for relying on the performance stage to turn the tables, that's just thinking too much.
The performance track "That Girl" was only divided into two sentences, and it was not enough to stuff the teeth.
Fortunately, there is a PK link after the performance.
Each team has a PK spot and can sing a song solo.
The time of a song, enough.
However, the PK songs were not coordinated by the band teacher, because the band did not have time to rehearse for every F-class student.
So you need to prepare an accompaniment first.
Fang Xing can arrange music, as long as there is a computer with a music workstation installed.
It would be nice to have another MIDI keyboard.
There really isn't, and it's not impossible to make music with a mouse.
Fang Xing returned to the training camp, and when he was in the corridor, he heard the sound of a pad.
It sounds like a DJ playing music, and it uses a lot of unusual tones.
Fang Xing walked to the training room where the sound came from and glanced inside.
I saw that in this training room, there was a group of students rehearsing.
Among them, playing with the pad is a returnee student with dirty braids.
Fang Xing remembers that his name is Hashem, he came back from Australia, his Chinese pronunciation is not very standard, he is good at English rap, and he can play a variety of instruments.
Obviously, this Hashem is a musician and has brought a full set of MIDI equipment to the show.
MIDI keyboards, guitars, basses, electronic drums, pads, everything.
The equipment is luxurious.
Fang Xing needs such a set of equipment now to arrange PK tracks.
So, he walked in, took advantage of the gap between him tapping on the pad, and politely asked, "Hello, can you borrow your MIDI equipment and use it?" Make up an accompaniment, and soon. ”
Hashem glanced at the words "Class F" on Fang Xing's T-shirt, and then glanced up at the position of the camera.
Only then did he say in broken Chinese: "My MIDI equipment is custom-made, it is inconvenient for others to use, sorry brother." ”
Customized MIDI equipment can be very expensive indeed, or even capped.
"That's bother, I'll ask someone."
Fang Xing smiled politely back, then turned to leave.
Before he walked out of the training room, a trainee from Hashem's team leaned over and asked, "What did this F-class just say?" Do you want to spy on us? ”
Since there were 14 teams competing in the first performance, they often asked each other about rehearsals.
Even the program team will film the content of the spy intelligence and cut it into the feature film.
Hashem shook his head and joked, "No, he wants to borrow my MIDI equipment to make arrangements, this is my weapon for fighting, my mother doesn't dare to touch it, I'll lend it to him?" ”
"Accompaniment to PK songs? Isn't the promotion quota for the PK link basically determined? ”
Hashem shrugged his shoulders and said with a disdainful expression: "Maybe he doesn't know that tonight's PK session is specially arranged for me to show off my musical instruments." ”
Although Hashem also wears a T-shirt from Class F, he is different from the average Class F student
At the beginning of the stage rating, he took the initiative to challenge the students of Class A to change positions, but he failed to change positions and entered Class F.
Moreover, this is the script arranged by the program team.
If the 11 people in this show are the 11 people who entered Class A at the beginning, then the show will be boring.
Therefore, in order to make the show better and more topical.
The program team will arrange one or two students to start a counterattack from Class F, and finally make their debut in a group.
In this way, the show has something to watch.
And this Hashem is taking the counterattack script of Class F.
In other words, the promotion quota for tonight's PK link has actually been set, and the others are just running along.
The voice of the two people was not small, Fang Xing heard it clearly, but he was not angry, he pulled the corners of his mouth and walked out of the training room.
After so many years in the entertainment industry, what bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods have not seen?
At night, the PK stage speaks with strength, and whoever loses is embarrassed.
……
When he was in the corridor, Fang Xing met the previous champion Shen Xiyin.
Shen Xiyin has a part of the grassland blood, is tall and well-proportioned, wearing a gothic-style black dress, and her deep eyes are like jewels in the night sky.
She was the champion of the last "Rising Star", and this time she was arranged by the program team to be a mentor.
She heard Fang Xing borrowing a musical instrument just now, so she greeted, "Do you want to make up the music yourself?" Do you want me to get someone to help? ”
In fact, there are only a few hours left before the performance, and the program team is very busy.
No one was available to record an accompaniment for a Class F student.
As soon as Shen Xiyin said that he wanted to help, a choreographer came over and said: "Xiyin, it's time to rehearse, and the mentor process to be met needs to be smoothed through first." ”
Fang Xing didn't know her well, and seeing that she was also busy, he thanked her: "Thank you, no need." I can do it myself. ”
It's impossible to get it done, and it's impossible to make arrangements without a music workstation.
Fang Xing simply stopped doing it, returned to the training room to continue rehearsals, and went directly to the performance after the end.
……
The first performance began, fourteen teams, fourteen songs.
Fang Xing's group, the captain is Wu Junchen, who is currently the most popular, so he appeared in the finale and sang "That Girl".
This song is carefully prepared by the program team from the arrangement to the choreography, and the purpose is very clear, that is, to blow up the scene and attract female fans.
However, the finale is not necessarily a good thing.
Because before "That Girl", there were already thirteen stages.
After the thirteen songs were sung, the four instructors in the mentor's seat, as well as the music critics on the scene, were a little tired of listening.
Especially after experiencing a few mediocre stages, there is a lack of interest.
The stage lights dimmed, and seven people took the stage and set up the opening pose.
The prelude to "That Girl" sounds, and the light notes jump out like marbles, about to enter the first line of the main song.
The first line of the main song is Fang Xing is responsible.
Singing the first line isn't a privilege, though.
If it is not sung well, it will be used to worship the heavens.
Because the first one sings, if the singing is more ordinary, as soon as the second one opens, it will form a strong contrast and form a kind of progression of singing skills.
Fang Xing, as an ordinary student of Class F, is still unwilling to follow the preset script of the program group, of course, it is used as a foil for the C position.
However, the other party woke up and said that it didn't matter which line he sang.
In a song, every sentence counts.
As long as the ability is sufficient, any sentence can crush sentient beings.
Fang Xing has always been serious about singing, and if he should sing by himself, he must do it to the extreme.
The twenty-second prelude ends.
Fang Xing walked into the spotlight from the darkness and sang the first line of the main song:
"There was a girl who wrote in her diary in the summer. There is such a memory, engraved in the past of youth......"
As soon as he opened his mouth, the first lyrics with chest resonance directly pulled the listener into the story and artistic conception of the song.
"Huh......"
The four mentors on the mentor seat raised their eyebrows at the same time, as if they had discovered a new continent.
Especially Chen Chaonan, who has the highest musical literacy, actually showed a rare smile.
Fang Xing's lyrics are the first sentence of the main song, the tone is not high, in the ears of ordinary listeners, they will only feel good, and they don't think this sentence is awesome.
However, as long as the musical literacy is high enough, you can hear the near-perfect chest resonance in this sentence, which makes the sound thick and magnetic.
In the talent show of the Fish Pond Bureau, when they suddenly heard such a sentence, the four mentors had a feeling that their ears were awakened, and they suddenly lifted their spirits and wanted to listen carefully.
It's just that in the whole song, Fang Xing only got two lyrics, and the first paragraph is the first two sentences.
Therefore, after Fang Xing finished singing two sentences, he moved to the side and gave up the center of the stage to Wu Junchen.
Wu Junchen took over the melody and began to sing the third and fourth sentences:
"The season of July is the scenery of parting......"
Hearing the voice of a different person, the smiles that had just appeared on the faces of the four mentors disappeared in an instant.
The contrast between the two sentences is quite tragic.
The previous sentence has full chest resonance, and the voice has thickness.
The next sentence lacks resonance, and the voice sounds bright, but very thin.
Comparing the two, the gap is very obvious.
From the beginning of the third sentence until the end of the chorus, Fang Xing has no lyrics, just a backup dance.
Wait until Wu Junchen's chorus High D is finished and enter the interlude.
Subsequently, the song moves on to the second pass of the main song.
Fang Xing walked to the middle of the stage again and sang: "There is such a kind of nostalgia, silently in the bottom of my heart. There is a kind of thinking that often smiles......"
As soon as these two sentences came out, the four mentors and music critics raised their eyebrows again.
This feeling is like chewing a slice of bread for a long time, the mouth is dry and peeling, and suddenly a cup of tea comes, and the whole person is excited and wakes up.
It's a pity that this cup of tea only has two sips, and it's gone after drinking.
Then it was replaced by Wu Junchen's voice as thin as a knife, and in order to highlight his C-position identity, he also deliberately raised the volume.
The fans at the scene began to scream and shout on time, as if their idols could make their souls out of their bodies as soon as they spoke.
In the second chorus, Fang Xing sings the last two lines of the chorus, and then the song ends after the last piano note.
At the end of the stage, there was warm applause and excited shouts from fans.
