Entertaining Children

Amid the applause of the audience, Gong Chen turned and walked towards the passage leading to the backstage. When passing by Xu Yuan who was walking on the stage in the aisle, the two of them gave each other high fives as if to encourage each other.

"Do you want to speak so badly of me? You are helping me to gain hatred." When the two passed by, Xu Yuan couldn't help laughing and teasing.

"I mean, you should be happy, right?" Gong Chen smiled.

"The black witch who doesn't know magic is invited to bring her solo song, "Summer Light Year"!" Seeing Xu Yuan walking to the middle of the stage and getting ready, Yang Hao immediately announced loudly.

"Midsummer Light Year? It's really another new song. I don't know what it's like." The audience and the judging group all focused their attention on Xu Yuan on the stage with great interest.

"I'm proud of the destruction, I hate the ordinary, only to remember that those are my favorite~" After a prelude composed of piano, drum kit, cello and electronic percussion, Xu Yuan sang in a low voice on the stage. Just from the opening melody, rhythm and these two lines of lyrics, the audience felt that this should be a very powerful rock song.

"Summer Light Year" is the theme song of the same name composed by Chen Xinhong of Mayday in his previous life for the movie "Summer Light Year". When Xiao Yao in his previous life heard this song for the first time, he was not listening to the original version of Chen Xinhong, but was shocked by Chen Bing's version on the reality show. When he saw on the TV screen that the songwriter was Ashin, his first reaction was to think that this Ashin was Su Jianxin from Mayday, not Chen Xinhong from Mayday. However, when he found the original version and listened to it, he, who was not too fond of Mayday and Chen Xinhong, became a fan almost immediately.

In fact, purely from the perspective of listening to songs, he still thinks that listening to Chen Bing's version is more enjoyable for the ears, but if he really wants to hear something deeper from the song, Chen Xinhong's original version is more sensational. Especially when he made a comparison and found that Chen Bing's version also omitted the two very negative lyrics in the original lyrics "to make the law simpler and to make the order more chaotic", his feeling was even stronger. too much. Regardless of whether it was a helpless move due to the length of the program, anyway, in Xiao Yao's heart in his previous life, this song should not be as simple as an inspirational song. Chen Bing's version always seems to lack the feeling of inner soul. Chen Xinhong's version, purely from the singing performance, he always felt that it was not enjoyable.

In this life, Xiao Yao naturally thought of combining these two versions to make up for some imperfections.

In terms of the tune, Xiao Yao referred to Chen Bing's version in his previous life, and raised the tune on the basis of Ashin's original version. As for the soundtrack, Xiao Yao made some enrichments on the basis of Ashin's original version. After polishing several songs such as "faded", "Nonsense", and "Who Said", Xiao Yao, who has more experience in combining psychedelic electronic music, string music and electronic music with rock, has increased the original soundtrack. The soundtrack of electronic music with a sense of presence, in order to highlight the sense of despair and confusion in the song,

In the chorus part, the drums, electric guitar, bass and other soundtracks that show the power of rock and roll are also added to the soundtrack to further strengthen the strength of the singer when he roars.

As for the singer's performance, Xu Yuan's vocal range and sound quality are not inferior to that of Chen Bing in the previous life. In addition to pointing out that Chen Bing in the previous life had a few broken voices during live performances and asked him to pay attention to it, Xiao Yao directly gave it to Chen Bing. Xu Yuan narrated the storyline of the movie "Summer Light Year" in her previous life to guide her emotional expression in this song. All in all, whether it is the difficulty of singing the song or the difficulty of emotional expression, as well as the richness and complexity of the soundtrack, this song "Midsummer Light Year" for Xu Yuan is better than the song "Water Tune Song" for Gong Chen. Head. When will the moon be there" is much higher, and Xiao Yao has spent much more time and energy on this song than Gong Chenna.

Judging from the reactions of the audience and guests, Xiao Yao's effort seems to be totally worth it.

In the first part of the song, Xu Yuan's voice fully showed a decadent and bewildered atmosphere, and many audience members and guests from the guessing group looked at her with complicated expressions and frowned.

And when the song slowly walked through the verse and chorus of the first paragraph, and the occasional small burst of sound exploded in the audience's ears from time to time, the audience's emotions were also mobilized by Xu Yuan, and gradually followed Xu Yuan from Confusion turned to despair, and finally reached an extreme explosion.

"A carnival in midsummer came light years away. Is growing up a fester that people must go through?!" With Xu Yuan's rather wild roar accompanied by heavy steps, almost half of the audience at the scene were shocked by her. Stand up from your seat.

"I don't turn, I don't turn, I don't turn, I don't turn, oh~" With the gradually rising tone, when Xu Yuan's last high note burst out, the rest of the audience and the guests on the guessing group also Can't help but stand up. The guests just stood and clapped in admiration in a more reserved manner, while the audience at the scene began to raise their hands and subconsciously shouted after her.

When Xu Yuan strode forward and burst out the last high note, Xiao Yao, who was also in the live performance version, did not stop the whole song like Chen Bing's version, except for the intense drumbeat and electronic music that lasted for a bar. In addition to the guitar sound ending her singing, Xiao Yao also added an electronically processed piano melody at the end of the soundtrack. But this is a live performance after all, it is impossible for him to play a piano melody that lasts about a minute like Chen Xinhong's original version, so that Xu Yuan and everyone at the scene just stood there doing nothing for more than a minute, Instead, the melody was condensed to about ten seconds. After everyone took a breath in this melody and calmed down a little, the futuristic piano sound also came to an end, and the whole song just ended.

After the sound of the soundtrack completely disappeared, Xu Yuan, who was still a little excited and out of breath, bowed deeply to the audience from the ups and downs of his chest.

"Oh~" Following Xu Yuan's thanks, the audience who hadn't sat down all stood up again, and after regaining a little bit of strength and voice, they raised their hands high and let out another burst of noise that was about to overturn the roof of the studio. screams and cheers.

On the other side of the guessing and judging group, several younger singers and guests even raised their hands high and bowed to Xu Yuan in a "worship" gesture.

"Thank you, thank you everyone!" Xu Yuan clasped the microphone tightly with both hands, and thanked the audience and the guests of the guessing group again. Even after being processed by a voice changer, everyone can still hear the excitement in her voice.

"Her song is so good!" In the lounge, even the usually elegant Gong Chen couldn't help but excitedly said to Xiao Yao who was beside him.

"Yeah, it's better than I imagined, better than those people in my memory." Xiao Yao also nodded excitedly and clenched his fists.

"Better than those people in your memory?" Gong Chen asked a little strangely, "Isn't this the new song you wrote for her? Did anyone else sing it?"

"No, no one else in this world has sung this song except her." Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I was so excited just now, I was talking nonsense." The so-called people in memory are naturally those singers from previous lives up. They are not in this world. Xu Yuan is indeed the only person in this world who has sung this song. Even Xiao Yao hasn't tried it since he wrote it.

Saying that, Xiao Yao exhaled heavily, and sat down on the sofa with Gong Chen. Just like the audience at the scene, the two of them stood up when Xu Yuan sang halfway through the song. They stood in front of the TV screen and listened to the second half.

"I don't know how to describe it." Chen Zhihan spoke first, touched his chin and said, "It feels like my jaw is about to dislocate."

"Listening to this song makes me feel like my heart and head are going to explode together." Wei Dazhang commented.

"Very, very shocking." Xie Xinhua gave a thumbs up.

"This is the first time I've heard a singer sing a song like this." Li Yu shook her head and said.

"Thank you, thank you teachers." Hearing these comments, Xu Yuan didn't know what to say or do other than say thank you.

"This is a very difficult song," Chen Zhihan began his normal comment, "The transposition, range span, and especially the high-pitched scale are very challenging for singers. I dare not say you This live singing is completely flawless. But in the atmosphere and environment of the scene, especially in the atmosphere and environment created by your appeal, expressiveness, and emotional expression ability, you can sing like this, sing With this effect, I can only say one thing, I can’t think of a better situation.”

"I agree with Mr. Chen Zhihan's statement," Xie Xinhua continued, "But compared to your singing skills, your voice transition, your explosive power in high notes, etc., I am more interested in your performance in this song. The appeal and emotional expression in the voice. At the beginning, there was decadence, confusion, and even a little psychedelic taste, and then it slowly reached despair, and finally the outbreak of struggling out of despair shocked me too much. .”

"Listen to your voice and your external image." Xie Xinhua pointed up and down at Xu Yuan on the stage, "I guess you are not very old, and how do you express a song so rich and vivid?" ...Profound?" Finally, Xie Xinhua thought about his choice of words.

Xu Yuan's costumes are mysterious and sexy. Compared with those singers who wrap themselves tightly, everyone thinks that her age can be guessed from her exposed body parts.

"Did our music director, Mr. Gong Yushang, give you any special guidance?" Li Yu asked curiously.

"It's not Teacher Gong, but a monster younger than me." Xu Yuan laughed.

"Let me declare," Gong Yushang, who was standing in front of the band, also took a microphone and said, "I did not make the arrangement and soundtrack of the three songs by Siren and Witch, let alone for them. The singing is the guide. I'm just the conductor who is in charge of the accompaniment of the band."

"You're talking about that evildoer who is taking off Gong Chen's make-up in the backstage lounge?" Wei Dazhang pointed in the direction of the backstage passage in surprise.

"Yes," Xu Yuan nodded, "It seems that we haven't fully introduced it. In fact, the three songs I sang today with Siren...and Gong Chen, two and a half were composed by Xiao Yao, and only Gong Chen The lyricist of the song in the morning is Mr. Dongpo of the Song Dynasty. And all the arrangements and soundtracks of these three songs, as well as the singing guidance during our practice are all from him. He is an excellent producer himself. It's very good at it."

"Wow!" Wei Dazhang couldn't help but swear, "Isn't this evildoer too evil?"

"Looking at it from this point of view, I'm afraid he won four awards at the Golden Disc Awards this year, which is probably not enough." Chen Zhihan also shook his head and said.

The audience at the scene even let out a big exclamation.

"Specifically speaking about this song." After the sound of the scene became quieter, Xu Yuan continued, "In addition to the purely technical guidance, he told me a story about the emotional expression of the song."

"Storytelling again?" Many people asked in surprise.

"Yes, there is a story called "Midsummer Light Years", about the growth of two teenagers," Xu Yuandao said, "He said that this song is based on this story. It is very interesting to listen to his storytelling. When he tells the story, the imagery is very vivid. Strong. It makes me feel like not just listening to a story, but watching a movie guided by his voice."
