Chapter 173: Arriving at the "Masked God of Songs" program group!
"It's kind of interesting, I'll see what the hell is going on with his song first."
Huang Xiang said as he connected the USB flash drive to the computer.
After opening the folder in the USB flash drive, Huang Xiang saw all the information about the song, as well as the demo audio file attached separately to the back.
However, he didn't rush to click on the demo to listen to it, but first looked at the song's lyrics and track information.
"Under the clouds?"
"The title of this song is good."
"The lyrics and songs are all from Xiao Ning's hand......"
"A new song?"
Although in order to make their identities more secret, there are also guests who take out unreleased new songs to sing when participating in "The Masked God of Songs", but this situation is a minority after all, and more often than not, it is still covers of other singers' works.
Because new songs are relatively rare, Huang Xiang's curiosity suddenly became greater when he found out that Xiao Ning was about to sing a new song.
He quickly set his sights on the lyrics.
Looking at it, his two eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The lyrics are very good.
The artistic conception completely matches the artistic conception of the song title, which perfectly writes the mentality that a firm dreamer should have.
In today's Chinese music scene with the theme of "love", this song "Under the Flying Clouds" is simply a clear stream.
The lyrics of this song, whether from the concept, rhyme or overall artistic conception, make Huang Xiang feel very bright.
Even if this song is just a lyric now, in Huang Xiang's opinion, since this song can have such excellent lyrics, then the whole cannot be a mediocre work.
Satisfied, he is very satisfied, that is......
The content of this song, it's hard not to remind him of a rumor in the circle.
Xiao Ning loves to get creative inspiration through extreme sports!
And the other party just set a new low-altitude skydiving world record at the Jiangcheng Twin Towers yesterday!
Even now, the popularity of this incident is still high on the hot search list of major online platforms.
If not, forget it.
But there was such a thing, and Huang Xiang happened to know about it.
It's hard not for him to associate this song with Xiao Ning's low-altitude skydive yesterday.
"So most of that rumor is true......"
"This Xiao Ning, I'm afraid it's really stimulating creative inspiration in that more extreme way."
"It's really a big world, I've seen all kinds of weird stars, and it's the first time I've met a strange person like Xiao Ning."
After the shock in my heart gradually subsided.
Huang Xiang clicked on the audio file attached to the end of the folder and played the demo.
Listen to the demo for more than a minute.
Huang Xiang was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.
It was only at this point that he finally understood why Xuanji's motive for taking the initiative to provide this demo.
"The reason why they took the initiative to provide this demo ......"
"Dare to love because they are worried that we don't believe that this song is sung by Xiao Ning alone......"
Huang Xiang was speechless and held his forehead, and then his brows twitched.
"But even after listening to ......"
"I still don't believe that this song was sung by Xiao Ning alone!"
"This song shouldn't be sung by Xiao Ning!"
Although they know that Xuanji is a large company on the front line of the industry, Xiao Ning, as a singer whose popularity is close to the front line, it is impossible for them to deceive the program team in this kind of thing.
After all, when the program is recorded, Xiao Ning has to sing on stage in a real way, and now he deceives the program team, and when the time comes, it will not end at all.
But even if there was such a situation first, what Huang Xiang heard from this more than a minute of demo really made him hard to believe that the vocals here were all sung by Xiao Ning.
Although he had no contact with Xiao Ning before, Xiao Ning, who has been on the hot search all the time in the recent months, is difficult even if he doesn't want to pay attention.
So in fact, he has heard many of Xiao Ning's previous songs.
However, the vocals in this demo, whether it is timbre or some technical things, at first glance it sounds like it has nothing to do with Xiao Ning.
The singing style is very advanced, the voice is very distinctive, and the technique is quite top-notch.
But after adding all the factors together, this kind of top-notch singing skills is obviously better than Xiao Ning's previous songs.
Not to mention......
The vocals in this song have two voices, male and female!
However, according to the current situation, these two voices are Xiao Ning singing alone!
This is outrageous.
It's outrageous!
It takes time for a singer's singing skills to progress and polish, how can he improve so quickly in such a short time?
Even if you don't think about this, you can assume that Xiao Ning is an epiphany and a genius......
But even if you can change the timbre, it's hard to become thorough!
But in the demo of "Under the Flying Clouds", the male voice can still hear some of Xiao Ning's shadows.
What the hell is that female voice?
You told me that this was sung by Xiao Ning?
How is this possible?
Huang Xiang, who feels that all this is contrary to common sense, has even begun to wonder if this demo was recorded with technology.
"Could it be that he recorded a demo with a voice changer?"
"Million tuners?"
"Technology and hard work?"
After a series of question marks popped up in his mind, Huang Xiang directly handed the earphones to Wang Wanru on the side.
"Xiao Wang, listen to this demo."
After a while, Wang Wanru listened, and the emotions on her face were quite complicated, just like Huang Xiang who had just listened to the demo.
"Xiao Wang, what do you think...... The two parts of the vocals here, do they seem to be sung by Xiao Ning? ”
Wang Wanru hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said: "There is still a bit of a shadow in the male voice, and the timbre is somewhat similar, but this female voice is ......."
"This unique timbre, this kind of neutral female voice voice recognition, IMHO, even if it is brought out alone in the Chinese music scene, I am afraid that there are not many girl singers who can play...... If you make your debut directly over time, you can become a second-tier or even first-line singer with this voice guarantee alone. ”
What Wang Wanru said was actually exactly what Huang Xiang thought.
But even if this matter seems unbelievable and outrageous at present, after all, the show will officially start recording the day after tomorrow!
Even if Xiao Ning decides to make a fake demo for the whole job, or a demo that has been processed by technology, Xuanji, as a well-known company in the industry, will definitely not follow him!
What's more, this demo was all submitted by Xuanji on his own initiative!
So the two vocals in this "Under the Flying Clouds" demo can only be sung by Xiao Ning!
After a while, Huang Xiang, who was gradually recovering from the shock, suddenly had a smile on his face.
He first told Wang Wanru about the conclusion that this song "Under the Flying Clouds" must be sung by Xiao Ning, and it can only be sung by Xiao Ning.
Then, with a smile on his face, he pointed to the desk with his index finger and said, "Xiao Wang." ”
"Our season of "The Masked God of Songs" will probably be more enjoyable than the previous seasons!"
"Don't talk about the audience."
"I'm now very much looking forward to what kind of performance Xiao Ning can have when the show is officially recorded the day after tomorrow."
……
December 19th.
Xiao Ning took a few assistants and Liu Weiwei on the morning flight and arrived in the magic capital at noon.
After getting off the plane and leaving the airport, Modu TV came to pick them up and waited for a long time.
After a brief meal, the group went straight to the magic capital TV station.
At half past one in the afternoon, Xiao Ning finally arrived at the "Masked God of Songs" program group.
is different from those talent show music variety shows, the show "The Masked God of Songs" invites all some famous singers.
Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for second-tier singers to get a guest seat on the show "The Masked God of Songs".
Therefore, in this per capita first-line singer program, in fact, in terms of music background and qualifications, Xiao Ning, who has a short debut time and a small number of works, is actually the bottom group.
But I can't stop him from singing, and it's popular enough in the past few months.
So as soon as he arrived at the program group, he was directly invited by Huang Xiang, the chief director of the program, to meet him.
After meeting this director who is quite famous in the field of variety show directors for the first time, Xiao Ning's first reaction was surprise.
Although Huang Xiang is very famous in the director's circle and can be regarded as a bigwig, he is actually focused on his work and rarely appears in the public eye by himself.
Not to mention that he shows his face on variety shows and talk shows from time to time like some other directors, under normal circumstances, Huang Xiang will not even do ordinary interviews.
Such a character also leads to the fact that he has relatively little public information on the Internet.
At least.
Xiao Ning really didn't know the height of this Huang Dao, but he was only 1.5 meters.
Just saw Huang Xiang in the reception room of the TV station, and after finding that he had to lower his head to look at each other, Xiao Ning sat on the sofa next to him very decisively when Huang Xiang had not yet spoken, and took the initiative to signal Huang Xiang to sit on a chair higher than the sofa.
Although Xiao Ning also knew that it would be a little presumptuous for him to have such contact with a big guy who met for the first time, it was better than the embarrassing situation when he kept looking down at the other party when he talked to people.
After all, Huang Xiang is much older than Xiao Ning, and he has been in this circle for so many years, so he can see what Xiao Ning is thinking.
For his height, if you have to say that Huang Xiang doesn't care, it is naturally impossible.
But what's the use of caring?
Huang Xiang, whose family conditions are very good, did not drink milk powder and eat calcium tablets when he was young.
That is not tall is not tall.
What can you do?
Huang Xiang, who was accustomed to those various visions, felt that Xiao Ning was very good in his heart.
At least this young man did not pretend to ignore his height defect, but took the initiative to create a less awkward dialogue atmosphere because of his height defect.
"Xiao Ning, it's your first time to participate in "The Masked God of Songs", and you are a rising star in the music industry, so I thought about asking you to come over and chat a few words."
"Don't be restrained, I'm looking for you mainly to talk to you about the content of the show."
After Huang Xiang took the initiative to open the chatterbox, Xiao Ning responded with neither humility nor arrogance.
The two chatted about the situation of the show this time, and while chatting, Huang Xiang brought the topic to "Under the Flying Clouds", a song that Xiao Ning will take out and sing tomorrow.
"Honestly......"
"After receiving the demo from Xuanji yesterday, I couldn't believe that this could be sung by you."
"But now that I think about it, in order to participate in this show, you even took out this kind of ruthlessness, which shows that you are still very serious about our show."
When Huang Xiang said this, Xiao Ning was thinking about being modest, but who knew that the other party directly came to such a sentence -
"Ahem, there is a reluctant request, Xiao Ning, if you can, can you sing two lines of this song?"
After saying this, Huang Xiang also made a special action to look forward to left and right: "There are only the two of us in this guest room, and there is no one else." ”
Xiao Ning didn't have any psychological burden, and after Huang Xiang made this request, he sang a few words directly.
There are both main songs and choruses, as well as male and female voices.
A few lines were sung.
Huang Xiang, who was sitting in the chair, was stunned for several seconds before reacting.
Although he had already determined yesterday that the demo could only be sung by Xiao Ning himself.
The conclusions that can be drawn by reasoning are naturally far less shocking than what you have seen and heard.
With two voices for both men and women, extremely high requirements for singing skills, and quite complex details and skills, Xiao Ning can really control it perfectly!
No wonder he wrote such a chorus song!
Now that I think about it!
Isn't he just a song specially prepared for the "Masked God of Songs" program?
Sing this song on stage tomorrow, whether it's the judges or the audience.
Who could have guessed that he sang the song "Under the Flying Clouds"?
In the first round, I was directly promoted!
After taking a deep breath, Huang Xiang said with a smile on his face: "Although I know that the vocals of the demo are sung by you." ”
"But after you sang these words in front of me, I was still shocked in my heart."
"Xiao Ning, your singing skills are much better now than when you were in the new song "Run" before."
After Xiao Ning brought this topic in two sentences, Huang Xiang followed up and talked to Xiao Ning about the "Masked God of Songs" program.
Mainly some details on the rules, as well as the specific details of tomorrow's recording.
After chatting for half an hour, Huang Xiang called the staff of the TV station and took Xiao Ning to the props and costumes group of the program group to make some preparations.
Because the show will be officially recorded tomorrow, Xiao Ning has to determine the makeup, singing equipment, costumes, and props on stage today.
Makeup, equipment, and clothing are all easy to say.
Xiao Ning didn't pick these at all.
After all, as a handsome person, even if he doesn't wear clothes, he is still the most eye-catching boy standing on the stage.
This can be seen from the topic of [Xiao Ning's abdominal muscles], which was once on the top of the list on Weibo before.
In addition, Xiao Ning came with Liu Weiwei today, so after arriving at the props and costumes team, he directly entrusted Liu Weiwei to help him communicate with the TV station staff to determine the makeup and performance costumes.
But he's also something.
Something else can be decided by Liu Weiwei.
But the most important prop for the "The Masked God of Songs" show.
Xiao Ning wanted to pick one by himself.
The so-called "props" actually refer to the headgear of its own face.
Of course.
If you don't like the head covering, you can also use a mask, or just make a whole doll costume.
Anyway, as long as people can't recognize you visually, this is in line with the program rules of "The Masked God of Songs".
After being introduced by the staff, Xiao Ning chose a group of camouflage props for a long time.
Ultimately.
He settled on a set of rat-headed duck dolls that resembled both ducks and rats.
"Since the purpose of choosing camouflage props is to better disguise yourself."
"Then you can't just make a mask or something."
"On the one hand, it's too ordinary, and on the other hand, it's hard to make enough impressions."
"This rat-headed duck is very good."
"I can't see anything when I put it on, it's still a cartoon image."
"The most important thing is ......"
"This thing is abstract enough!"
With the help of the staff, Xiao Ning went directly to the fitting room to try on this rat-headed duck doll costume.
After comparing to the dressing mirror for a long time, Xiao Ning, who felt good, directly gave the doll costume.
Just as he was about to cooperate with the staff to fill in the size information so that the costume team could make some simple trimming of the doll costume.
Suddenly the system's prompt sounded in my head.
"Ding Dong!"
"A new mission has been issued!"
