During the third round of selection, Shen Xiyin personally handed the microphone to Fang Xing and asked, "What kind of team member does Captain Fang Xing want to choose this time?" ”

Fang Xing glanced at the few people beside him, everyone was good at something different.

Guo Keda can play the guitar and dance, so there is no problem in being a dancer in the team.

Shao Yu has solid singing skills and strong harmony.

The structure of the team is in place, but something is missing.

In fact, in terms of voice, the men's team draft will be relatively lacking in high-pitched harmony.

Due to the lack of female vocals, when the boy group makes music, they basically can't touch five groups of trebles.

Especially when doing harmony, without the voice of the female voice, it cannot be done vividly.

Fang Xing thought about it for a moment and decided: "I need a child's voice, that is, a falsetto tenor, the kind that can sing to G5, or even A5." ”

If it was on Earth, Fang Xing could actually name him directly, and what he wanted was Zhou Shen's childish voice.

That's right, Zhou Shen introduced himself as a falsetto-like tenor in the first season of "Sound into the Heart", but in fact, he is essentially a child's voice.

What is a child's voice?

When human beings are young, the thickness and length of the vocal cords of little boys and girls are about the same, so the timbre of children's voices is very high, very sharp, and very bright.

When boys reach the age of 12 or 13, they enter puberty, begin to secrete male hormones, and slowly grow the Adam's apple, which will enter the voice change period at this time.

During the voice change phase, the throat area of men enlarges and the vocal cords widen and thicken.

In terms of vocal mechanism, in childhood, the voice is mainly produced in the head vocal area, and in the voice change stage, it will gradually change to the voice in the chest vocal area.

As a result, men often have a lower, thicker voice than they did as a child.

What is a child's voice?

Speaking of which, mention of the 16th-century church choirs in Europe.

Church choirs, also called choirs.

Churches are very sacred places for countries of faith.

The canon of the church states that "women shall be silent in the church", so the female voices of the church choir are replaced by boys.

However, the little boy will grow up, and once he reaches the stage of voice change, he will not be able to sing.

At this time, the church needed to find a new boy.

But then, you have to start all over again.

Therefore, the church has another cruel method, which is to castrate the little boy before he changes his voice.

In this way, the little boy will not have a period of voice change without male hormones, and will always maintain a childlike voice and continue to sing in the choir.

At the end of the Renaissance, eunuch singers were also derived, and they dominated the Western music scene for 300 years.

There is an Italian, Belgian and French co-production film "Farinelli Castrato", translated into Chinese "The Peerless Enchantress", which won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1994.

The film tells the legendary story of a French eunuch singer, and the film shows the eunuch singer's perfect voice like heaven.

Because no one can reproduce the singer's singing, the singing in the film can only be produced by using modern computer technology to mix several male voices, female voices and children's voices with different voices.

Of course, these are all history.

There is no such cruelty in modern times.

Occasionally, however, men go through a phase of voice change without much change in their voice.

This is a child's voice, which has a higher vocal range than ordinary male voices, and can sing female voices.

Zhou Shen belongs to the child's voice.

This is the throat that God chases after feeding.

Professionally, it's called falsetto tenor.

In fact, when Zhou Shen first started to cover "The Whale Incarnated as a Lonely Island", the sound texture was not enough, very much like a female voice.

However, he did not choose to make a living in the entertainment industry, but went to study at a well-known conservatory in a northern country.

After professional training, the texture of the voice has been qualitatively improved, and there are more songs that can be controlled.

Later, Zhou Shen, who came to the period of "Singer", had smoothed out the voice change point, and ordinary people could not find his voice change point at all.

Fang Xing just wanted to find a similar child's voice, so that when the voice was divided, the music could be made to the fullest.

……

When Shen Xiyin heard Fang Xing say that he was looking for a student who could sing to G5 or even A5, his eyes widened, and then he stroked his hair and joked:

"Captain Fang Xing, the person you want won't be me, right? After all, here, I should be the only one who can sing A5. ”

A5 is already ridiculously high for a male voice.

Except for special cases such as Vitas and Zhou Shen, ordinary male voices will never be able to sing A5.

You must know that Pavarotti, one of the world's three major tenors on Earth, sings High C is C5.

(The five scales are C5, D5, E5, F5, G5, A5, B5, so A5 is five notes higher than C5.) ）

Five sets of trebles, that's not the battlefield of the male voice, that's the battlefield of the female voice.

A5 is difficult for female voices, let alone male voices.

That's why Shen Xiyin joked like this.

Fang Xing also joked: "As long as the director team doesn't object, I want it." ”

Shen Xiyin put on a regretful expression and said, "Actually, I also want to cooperate with Captain Fang Xing, the prelude of "Nocturne" has already knocked me down. However, the rules don't allow it. ”

Fang Xing looked at the trainees in the field and began to look for the voice he heard two days ago: "The day before yesterday, or the day before yesterday, early in the morning, I heard a person in the corridor opening his voice, and they all drove to A5. I also said hello to him, and now I want to ask him if he would like to come to my group? ”

Fang Xing looked around, but he didn't find it.

After a closer look, he finally stretched out his hand and pointed to a student in the last row of people: "That Lu Ming." ”

This student was a little small, sitting in the crowd, blocked by the people around him, and he really didn't see it at first glance.

The student who was called by name slowly stood up, pointed to his nose and asked, "Are you talking about me?" ”

"You should be able to sing A5, right?" Fang Xing asked directly.

This student named Lu Ming hurriedly waved his hand: "No, that one is too high, the voice is too sharp, it was just an open voice that day, not a real singing." ”

"It doesn't matter, I'll ask you if you'd like to come to my group." Fang Xing listened to his A5 of the scale when he opened his voice, and the sound texture was actually okay.

"When...... Of course. ”

Lu Ming was a little stunned, because he was from Class D, and it was likely to be at the level of the second round of tours.

Now the captain of each team is competing for the students of class B, and it is not the turn of class D to enter the group at all.

Fang Xing didn't play cards according to common sense, and the B class was not finished grabbing, so he went directly to the D class.

However, this is not the place where Fang Xing plays his cards the most unlogically, and then he plays his cards even more unusually.

After Fang Xing finished selecting Lu Ming, he directly announced: "Okay, my group is all together." ”

"What...... What? ”

Everyone at the scene was stunned again, and this time even the program team was a little confused.
