Chapter 6: A Guitar and a Wild Bird
At the beginning of the recording of the PK session, the host He Hao walked on the stage and began to say string words:
"Our fourteen teams have already sent PK students. Fourteen students, fourteen songs, who will win in the end and win the last two promotion places? Let's wait and see. ”
After the cross-talk, He Hao began to explain the rules of the competition: "The students participating in the PK competition will sing in reverse order according to the order of the team's performance ranking.
In other words, the students of the "That Girl" group who won the first place will be the last to sing. In front of him was our musical genius Hashim, and so on.
"After each student sings, they will be judged by four instructors, and the question board will be used to determine whether to advance.
"Only the students who have won four promotions can sit on the promotion seats above."
He Hao said this, and stretched out his hand to signal to the two seats on the high platform on the right side of the stage.
"Speaking of which, someone must want to ask, what if three people get promoted?"
He Hao paused for three seconds, and only after satisfying his appetite did he ask and answer: "It's very simple, then battle, the brave wins when you meet on a narrow road."
"The PK session officially began, and the first student was invited to sing the song "Wind and Rain".
After the song in the PK session is sung, there is no tutor question session, and the next song is directly after singing one song, so the speed is still relatively fast.
After singing 12 songs, one student got four promotions and sat on the promotion seat.
As expected, this student was Shao Yu.
Next, it's time for Hashem to come into play.
The lights on the stage dimmed, and the staff brought MIDI equipment to the stage.
Hashem checked all the lines and was okay before signaling that it was ready to start.
The lights came back on, and Hashem began to operate the pads, playing a series of electronic melodies.
Coupled with the colorful lights on the stage, it makes people feel like they are on the dance floor of the bar in an instant.
After Hashem enters the electronic melody with the pad, repeats it through the computer, then walks over to the MIDI keyboard and starts playing the keyboard for a live ensemble.
This was followed by electric guitar, electric bass, and each instrument was played all over again.
The instrument was almost finished before he started rapping.
The dynamic music immediately pulled up the atmosphere of the scene, and the audience swayed along with the music.
After the singing, the audience was still immersed in the dynamic melody of electronic music.
As expected.
All four mentors showed off their promotion boards.
Hashim sat on the promotion seat.
At this time, the two promotion seats were seated, but there was still a student who did not sing.
Fang Xing was the last to come on the stage and walked to the middle of the stage without hurrying.
Liang Yusong took the microphone and asked: "You came up without accompaniment, you are indeed courageous, are you ready to sing a cappella?" ”
Fang Xing glanced around and said, "I need a guitar, who can lend me one?" ”
"Oh, it's going to be sung." Liang Yusong smiled.
There were more than 100 trainees at the scene, and many of them came with musical instruments.
At this time.
Hashim, who was sitting on the promotion seat, stood up and said generously: "I can borrow my musical instrument from you, and I can use the guitar and keyboard as you like." ”
Fang Xing couldn't help but laugh, this stupid fork refused to borrow it at noon, but now he is generous.
One set on stage, one set off stage, this kind of person......
It's really suitable for the entertainment industry!
He Hao was experienced, and immediately asked: "It seems that the student Fang Xing forgot to bring a musical instrument, Hashim is willing to borrow a musical instrument, are you willing to accept his help?" ”
Fang Xingli ignored him, looked at the students in the audience, and then looked at a tall inch-headed student named Guo Keda, and asked, "Can you lend me the guitar?" ”
Guo Keda was stunned for a moment and pointed his finger at his nose.
"Yes, whatever you want."
He reacted and hurriedly sent the guitar to the stage.
"Thank you."
Fang Xing took the guitar, said thank you, walked to the wheat rack, and tried the tone of the guitar first.
Guo Keda helped connect the audio cable before going down.
Fang Xing clamped the guitar's capo clip to the fourth fret, and then said into the microphone: "This song is called "Wild Bird". ”
"Wild Birds" is the theme song of the TV series "Children of the Qiao Family", written by Wang Zihe and Chen Kexin, composed by Wang Zihe, and sung by Kim Yunji.
Kim Yun-gil, the original singer of "Wild Birds", is the lead singer of the original Arirang group.
Later, the group couldn't survive and was forced to disband, and then Jin Runji appeared on the stage of "The Voice of China", opened his voice for four seconds and let Na Ying shoot the light, and finally won the turn of the four voice mentors.
However, Kim Yun-gil did not become popular after his voice.
It wasn't until eight years later that there was no sign of turning popular after singing "Wild Birds".
Wang Zihe, the producer of "Wild Birds", is also a musician with a dream of being a singer, but the path of a singer failed to go through, so he turned to the background.
In Wang Zihe's own words, being behind the scenes is to make money and support dreams.
After "Wild Birds" became popular, he still rubbed the popularity of the song on Weibo.
As the producer of the song, you also need to rub the popularity of the song.
I have to say that in this era, it is not necessary to be popular if you are talented.
Fang Xing has watched "Children of the Qiao Family", and he also likes the song "Wild Bird", there is a spirit of not admitting defeat in the song, which just fits the current state of mind.
The difficulty of singing "Wild Bird" is not high, most of the passages are in the natural vocal area, and only a few sentences are in the vocal change area.
Fang Xing's current singing skills can be completely controlled.
However, the real difficulty of "Wild Bird" is not the vocal range, but the unyielding energy in the song.
In the prelude to "Wild Birds", there is a whistle, and the original version was blown by producer Wang Zihe.
It just so happens that this skill will also wake up, and the finger joints will first hit the rhythm on the guitar twice, and then start playing the intro while whistling along with the melody.
The whistle immediately aroused the interest of everyone at the scene.
The inclusion of whistles in singing, although not the first of its kind, is uncommon.
This whistling sound is melodic and very melodious, and it represents the chirping of wild birds in the title of the song.
At the end of the prelude, entering the main song, Fang Xing opened his mouth and sang:
"There are a few nameless birds flying in the sky, and the hearts of the people on the earth are higher than the sky.
"The wind and rain also have to run forward, dancing with their hands and raising the corners of their mouths.
"Let's see, no one can leave behind the young and vigorous heart.
"In the eyes of the unconvinced, there is a wildfire burning ......"
As soon as the first sentence of the main song came out, the eyes of all the tutors and music critics on the scene lit up.
This song does not have a rousing tune, but it brings out a tenacity that will never admit defeat even if it is small.
Especially when it comes to the chorus, the sentence "Even if you are small, you have to jump high" comes out, it makes people feel as if they see a wild bird that is too small to be cared about, and also has the pursuit of spreading its wings and flying high.
On the surface, the song is written about wild birds, but why not those musicians who silently chase their dreams?
Even if you are unknown, you don't want to give up.
Not only the instructor, but also the audience was drawn into the artistic conception of the song.
Originally, the audience was still immersed in the electronic melody made by Hashem, as if they had just finished a nightclub, and their mood was agitated.
However, as soon as Fang Xing opened his mouth, he brought them to a simple and resilient world.
"Wild birds in the scorching sun, barefoot.
"Bitter also humming a ballad, so proud.
"I don't want to live up to Hua Shao, even if I am small, I have to jump high.
"There were people along the road who laughed and whistled, and they were like wild birds in the air, so rebellious.
"The clouds are nested by the wind, in our crazy youth, Lalala ......"
Fang Xing finished singing the last note, and the guitar melody slowly ended.
The scene remained quiet, no one cheered or shouted.
After a long time at the end, there was a slow applause from the instructor's seat: pop, pop, pop......
The audience turned their heads and saw three people clapping.
It was Chen Chaonan, Liang Yusong and the queen Zhang Huiying.
Shen Xiyin was still immersed in the world of wild birds, and only then did he come back to his senses, and saw that the senior mentors next to him all applauded, and it was too unusual not to follow the applause, so he hurriedly applauded.
