Chapter 180: The Blue Lotus Falling from the Sky
"Huaxia Song Club" has always insisted on real singing, and never tunes for anyone in the later stage.
It turns out that doing the right thing is more important than taking a shortcut.
The Spring Festival Gala obviously has higher credibility than "Huaxia Song Club", but only because some people asked:
"Really singing? Do you dare to guarantee that all the singers are not out of tune and do not make mistakes? How can the Chinese New Year add to the blockage of the people of the whole country? ”
Of course, no one guaranteed it, so the Spring Festival Gala was completely reduced to a lip-syncing stage, and then lost the trust and respect of all audiences.
But "Huaxia Song Club" said:
Out of tune, out of tune, singer deserves to be ridiculed for being out of tune! How? If a basketball player can't serve a sideline ball, isn't the audience allowed to laugh at it?
This began to make some picky audiences dissatisfied, saying some strange things, and ridiculing Huaxia Is there no singer who is not out of tune?
But with the persistence of the show, it has won the respect of most of the audience-
When they saw the perfect singing at the song, they knew that it depended on the singer's strong strength, rather than the tuning that worked overtime over and over again in the later stage;
When they hear the slightest flaw, they are not overly harsh;
Of course, if the singer is seriously out of tune and plays abnormally, it is inevitable that he will be sprayed.
That's why singers on stage are so nervous, especially some new singers who have just sung and idols who have just debuted, they don't have much stage experience, and in Sioux City, a city with hellish difficulty in concerts, it is inevitable that they will play abnormally.
"Woo woo, why are they completely unresponsive? It's so cold! ”
Su Zhe listened to the singer's crying and complaining, and said in his heart:
"Sioux City in the previous life, but even five hundred concerts had to be sung in person! Not to mention the new singers? ”
But with the failure of some singers, the atmosphere in the waiting area became even more tense.
Su Zhedu couldn't help but use a throat cleaner to ensure the state of his voice.
As time passed, the singers in front of him finished singing, and the finale singer took the stage - Cao Sijing!
"Next, please bring Cao Sijing to-"
Su Zhe listened to the enthusiastic cheers that suddenly sounded in the gymnasium, and couldn't help nodding, the other party's fans and popularity are indeed very strong, and they are not the same as the singers in front of them.
He couldn't help but sneak a look at the stage from the backstage, thinking that Cao Sijing was going to do it again, and wanted to witness the famous scene with his own eyes, but found that the other party was not sick, behaved very normally, and sang a love song.
It's not too good, but it's not a slot, it's a very ordinary song.
There is nothing special about it, including the stage design.
"You didn't want to 'press' me on stage? Is he really here to talk to the Music Association? ”
Su Zhe was very puzzled, it wasn't that he had prejudices, Cao Sijing's approach was indeed very unreasonable.
Soon, Cao Sijing finished singing, chatted with the host on stage, and after answering some questions from fans, he stepped off the stage.
It's Su Zhe's turn to appear!
When Cao Sijing returned to the backstage, he met Su Zhe, who was about to take the stage, and kindly encouraged:
"Come on! Don't be nervous, it's your first time participating in such a big event, you must be calm. ”
He said it nicely, but Su Zhe didn't know why, he just felt that he was laughing wrong.
But at this time, the video recorder was recording on the side, and all he could say was:
"Thanks!"
"Next, please bring Su Zhe - "Blue Lotus"!"
Su Zhe hurriedly stood on the elevator and appeared on the stage with a guitar on his back.
The audience cheered, Su Zhe looked at the golden sea that suddenly waved off the field, and suddenly understood the meaning of the cheering color.
It's really touching that so many fans are firmly supporting themselves.
He collected his emotions, adjusted his ears, listened to the music that came, and sang:
[Nothing can stop you
Your yearning for freedom
A whimsical career
Your heart is not worried]
Halfway through the song, he felt that something was wrong, and he felt that the sound in his ears was strange.
He turned his head to look at the musicians around him, and saw that they were all looking at him with shocked eyes and anxious expressions.
Su Zhe was stunned for a moment, watching them play the music, listening to the music in the ear, and immediately realized-
There is a delay in in-ear monitoring!
In this kind of large-scale concert, the whole audience is noisy, and the sound of the sound is so loud that it completely overshadows the surrounding instruments and even the singers.
Most singers have to listen to their own voices to adjust their vocalizations, and they can't even hear the accompaniment music and their own voices clearly, so how can they sing? It's easy to sing the wrong beat, or even go out of tune.
If you don't believe it, you can try to sing while listening to music with headphones, you think you sing very well, but others feel that the magic sound fills your ears.
What about listening to the sound coming from the stereo to adjust?
As we all know, the speed of sound propagation in the air is about 340 m/s, and in large concerts, there must be a delay in the transmission of sound from the sound of the speaker to the ears of the singer.
Therefore, it is necessary to rely on the in-ear monitor to provide timely and accurate feedback of sound.
But there is a delay in in-ear monitoring, is there still any point in bringing in-ear monitoring?
Su Zhe was shocked: Obviously there was no problem in front, but when he sang, there was a delay in ear monitoring-
Was it a stage accident?
Or did someone deliberately harm him?
Su Zhe couldn't think of the reason, so he directly ripped off the ear monitor, and said into the microphone, "There is a delay in the ear monitor", explaining the reason for the slow beat just now, but he did not interrupt the idea of singing.
- Of course, he can stop singing directly, and ask for a new ear return before continuing, and the program team will not rely on him because of the equipment.
But that's too embarrassing, and I don't know how long it will take to debug the equipment, if the concert is delayed and the audience takes the subway, it can be called a serious stage accident.
Once a stage accident occurs, the equipment is of course the direct cause, but his response will also become the object of criticism:
Can't sing if your ears are broken?
Even if this happens to the traffic, it will be sprayed, and if it happens to the powerful faction, the damage will be greater.
So after Su Zhe explained the reason, he immediately ran to the edge of the stage, found a small speaker, stepped on it with his foot, directly felt the sound and rhythm from the speaker, and continued to sing without changing his face:
【…… (This sentence didn't catch up)
I also felt like I was wandering
The moment you look down
Only then did I realize the road under my feet]
Seeing him approaching, he stepped on the stereo handsomely, and the audience burst into cheers.
Although they didn't react, they heard that Su Zhe didn't keep up with the beat, and shouted "There is a delay in the ear monitoring", so they directly threw away the ear monitoring, ran in front of them and continued to sing, with an extremely chic posture.
But since the song continued, and Su Zhe sang it well, they continued to cheer.
[The free world in my heart.]
So clear and lofty
Bloom and never wither
Blue Lotus——]
Su Zhe sang this, pointing sharply to the sky, but there were no blue fireworks around the stage as he designed.
“???”
Su Zhe silently withdrew his fingers, feeling embarrassed.
But he also confirmed that this is by no means a simple stage accident, that is, someone deliberately harmed himself!
There is a delay in the ear monitoring, and the cold fireworks are all to ruin their own performance and make themselves ugly in front of all the audience!
The last blue lotus from the sky, won't there be a problem? Then my whole stage design will collapse.
"Damn, Cao Sijing, it's playing yin!"
Su Zhe didn't need to check at all to know who was behind the scenes.
He's not a policeman or a judge, so he doesn't need evidence!
In the concert version of "Blue Lotus", this period is a long solo time, Su Zhe danced his hands, played the guitar to show off his skills, and mobilized the atmosphere of the audience, while walking back and walking to the edge of the stage.
After Yan Xiling shouted "There is a delay in ear monitoring", he went to the program team to get angry, and she personally handled the stage design such as blue fireworks, so she said hello without Su Zhe's instructions.
Seeing Su Zhe coming, she immediately shouted:
"Don't worry about the last [Blue Lotus from the Sky], the stage rainbow machine is manually operated, and there will definitely be no problems; But the cold fireworks on the stage are electrically lit, and I just pressed the switch, but I don't know where it is broken, and it is being repaired. ”
As for the investigation and investigation of these things after the fact, they must be said at the end of the song meeting, Yan Xiling did not waste time explaining, and only said the most important things.
Su Zhe nodded and understood:
The stage rainbow machine is placed all around, and the principle is to spray pieces of paper onto the audience with high-pressure gas, creating a romantic scene of paper flying in the sky.
In order to create enough paper rain, there are more than a dozen stage rainbow machines, all of which are manually controlled, and it is impossible for them all to break.
But the stage was cold and the fireworks were ignited with electricity, and Su Zhe immediately guessed that the wires were broken, so he directly reached out to block the headset and shouted at Yan Xiling:
"Check the circuit! Find the breakpoint! On-the-spot repairs! In the last paragraph, I have to see the fireworks go off! ”
There is only half a song left, which is a very strict requirement, but Su Zhe doesn't want Cao Sijing to succeed-
He wants to present the best stage effect!
Yan Xiling did not shirk either, understanding Su Zhe's inner anger and the artist's persistence.
She even believes that if Su Zhe doesn't sing on stage, she can even find the problem and fix the circuit by herself.
But since he is not free, he can't pull him back!
Su Zhe is not the boss who puts all the tasks on the employees, taking advantage of the solo time, walking around the stage, everyone thinks he is greeting the audience in different directions, only he knows that he is looking for a broken wire all over the venue-
X-sense maintenance worker, on-site wire connection.
Before the end of the solo, he finally found the place where the circuit was broken:
A wire (a low-voltage wire, which does not harm the human body) on the edge of the stage was worn off.
Okay! It looks like the singer who appeared in the front of him accidentally stepped on the wire while singing, and the wire was worn out.
Even if Su Zhe wanted to find justice afterwards, he could only get such an answer.
"me, huh?!"
Su Zhe understood, and before the solo ended, he pointed to Yan Xiling where the road was broken.
At this time, the solo ended, Su Zhe continued to sing, and without the audience noticing, an electrician quietly connected the wires on the stage.
He has connected wires all his life, and he has never been so exciting, it is simply the speed of life and death.
At this time, Su Zhe sang to the end:
[Blue Lotus——]
All music stops.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Blue pieces of paper flew and slowly fell in the air, like a blue lotus falling from the sky, enveloping the entire stadium in blue rain.
"Wow!" The audience erupted in exclamation.
The audience stretched out their hands to catch the blue lotus in the sky.
Su Zhe nervously looked at the cold fireworks around the stage, for fear that the electrician would fail to wiring.
A few seconds later—
Whoa!
Around the stage, blue cold fireworks erupted, forming a brilliant light, and the blue lotus slowly falling in the sky.
The whole world seems to be shrouded in a blue world.
The cheers from the stage were even louder.
Su Zhe put his mind at ease and stood in the center of the stage, like a god.
The stage was quiet, but the cheers from the audience grew louder.
The other singers backstage looked stupid:
Is this the same stage? Is this the same audience?
Why are they as cold as ice when they sing, but they are as enthusiastic as fire when they arrive at Su Zhe?
The ear monitoring is broken, stepping on the stereo to find the beat is Nicholas Tse's real experience at the concert; The Blue Lotus is Xu Wei's classic stage design. The bridge section of the wire repair has been changed, to be honest, archery was originally physically feasible, and the electrician specifications are parallel worlds after all, not necessarily the same. But since there are a lot of reactions, let's change it.
