This star’s style is wrong

After Shen Jianjia and Hao Shaohua got the demo of the song, they began to practice singing quickly.

Both of them were majored in music conservatory, so they made very fast progress in singing practice.

Basically, we can practice together on the second day, reach the performance level in three days, and spend the next few days pursuing the perfection of the songs.

In addition to this group, Fang Xing also selected songs for seven other groups.

Three of the groups sang "The Wind Rises", "My Dream" and "Fireworks Easily Cold", while the remaining groups sang songs by other singers.

There were several songs suggested by students. After listening to them, Fang Xing felt they were suitable and asked them to sing them.

Since Fang Xing's group of students was the first group to undergo the instructor assessment, time was extremely tight.

After practicing for less than a week, I started recording.

The schedule is tight, which is also a test for the students.

…

The program has reached the mentor assessment stage, and mentors and students no longer need to rehearse separately.

Therefore, on the morning of the recording, Fang Xing watched the rehearsals of eight groups of students in the audience, during which he also provided guidance to several groups.

Among these students, several are from non-professional backgrounds and have never studied vocal music, so if you tell them how to sing, they may not be able to sing it.

Music auditions are like this. Vocal foundation, talent, and level of effort are all different. How far everyone can go depends on their own abilities. Fang Xing can only try his best to help them show their own advantages.

Some perform averagely, while others perform outstandingly.

Fang Xing almost put the two people with the best vocal skills in the team into a group.

As expected, Shen Jianjia and Hao Shaohua performed very well during the rehearsal.

Fang Xing only made some suggestions on a few paragraphs: "Before the coloratura comes out, stop the accompaniment for four beats, then start it again, and the coloratura bursts out together, setting off the scene."

Live performance is different from recording studio. Some arrangements would be strange in the studio, but in live performance, the effect will be explosive.

It is a common arrangement for the music to stop suddenly and then resume with more turbulent momentum.

…

After the rehearsal ended, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.

The program team took a two-hour break for dinner and started recording.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Tong Fei took the walkie-talkie and announced that the recording had officially begun.

All instructors and guests are seated.

Host Qiao Youhua came on stage and first gave an opening speech, then orally broadcast the title sponsor's advertisement, and finally invited out the first group of students.

The recording time for the tutor assessment is very tight, because in this period, 16 in the group will advance to 4.

First, pairs of two groups sing a song together.

One goes and one stays, leaving eight people.

Then, eight people will fight against each other in pairs to determine the top four.

In other words, we have to record 16 songs tonight, there is a lot of content and the time is very tight.

The host's speeches were also as concise as possible. After speaking about the title sponsor, he immediately invited the first group of students, Shen Jianjia and Hao Shaohua.

Shen Jianjia and Hao Shaohua walked through the backstage passage, picked up the microphones, and stepped onto the stage.

When they were ready, the two of them raised their thumbs in the direction of the band, indicating that they were ready.

The prelude sounded.

Hao Shaohua slowly raised the microphone and performed the first line of the main song:

"I'm used to burying myself in the fog

"Self-competition

"Lost in Senyu

"I like to be buried in the fog

"Don't be mentioned

"Wake up after dark..."

This song is called "In the Fog", written, composed and sung by Yao Liuyi.

The singer is very young and his works are very distinctive.

However, in terms of singing, he is far from reaching the peak.

There are many master singers who have covered this song, so the most amazing version is not the original one.

Among them, Sa Dingding covered this song in "Praise for Song".

In addition, Mo Hong, Huang Xiaoyun, and Wang Xi collaborated on this song on the CCTV Online Spring Festival Gala program.

The version of the online Spring Festival Gala is also a version in which the coloratura soprano is most vividly displayed.

Mo Hong is a soprano singer in the national team and a national first-class actor. She is mainly active on the opera stage.

The lyrics of the original version of "In the Fog" are not suitable for singing on TV or at a party, so the lyrics of Mo Hong, Huang Xiaoyun and Wang Xi's versions have been greatly changed.

The revised lyrics, combined with solid singing, present an ancient, vast and profound artistic conception.

Fang Xing wanted to showcase Shen Jianjia's coloratura and Hao Shaohua's alto voice, so he chose the version by Mo Hong, Huang Xiaoyun and Wang Xi and changed it to a two-person chorus.

When Hao Shaohua used his thick voice to resonate with his chest, he sang the sentence: "Leaning on the railing, thousands of miles away..."

Chen Chaonan, Huang Anhua and Qi Xiuna in the instructor's seat couldn't help but applaud softly in admiration.

After the main song was finished, the music resumed and the coloratura singing came on: "Ahaha...Ahaha..."

It immediately lifted the level of this song to a higher level.

Qi Xiuna couldn't help but give Fang Xing a thumbs up to show her appreciation for the song.

When I did the blind audition.

Qi Xiuna wanted Shen Jianjia very much. After being popular in the music scene for so many years, she could certainly tell that Shen Jianjia's vocal skills among so many students were definitely among the top five, or even the top three.

If she chooses the right song to show off her timbre advantage, she might even be able to compete for the title.

When Qi Xiuna snatched Shen Jianjia, it can be said that she tried her best.

However, now that she heard this song written by Shen Jianjia and Hao Shaohua, she had to admit that this song was tailor-made for coloratura.

If Shen Jianjia had chosen to join her group, she had no confidence that she could have chosen a song more outstanding than this one.

Moreover, this song also has some majestic artistic conception, which is completely worthy of being put on a national stage like the Spring Festival Gala.

Chen Chaonan usually applauds silently.

During the blind audition, he finally gave up on grabbing people.

At that time, his last words were: "Fang Xing is one of the singers in the domestic music scene who has the most perfect blend of academic singing and pop music. If you want to sing pop music, go to Fang Xing's group. If you want to sing academic singing , come to me."

This sentence is actually equivalent to helping Fang Xing canvass for votes.

It's not that he doesn't want Shen Jianjia, but as a professor at the music school, he hopes that students can go to the most suitable position.

Shen Jianjia said at the time that she liked pop music, and finally chose to join Fang Xing's team.

Now, this coloratura version of "In the Fog" proves that her choice at that time was right.

Even if she sang this song to Qi Xiuna, she wouldn't dare to sing it.

It's not because her vocal range can't support it, but because she's not a coloratura singer. If she wants to sing this song, she has to change the coloratura part.

The power of this song on the stage of "The Voice of China" is that even the instructor dare not sing it easily.

As soon as the coloratura came out, the stage effect instantly soared to the extreme.

It was as if a nightingale was singing above the stage, and the sound was gentle and loud, echoing in the ears of every audience and guest present.

…

After the song was sung, the host Qiao Youhua returned to the stage with excitement and began to ask interactive questions:

"Four instructors, after listening to the song sung by two students, do you have anything to say?"

Chen Chaonan was the first to take over the topic and commented: "The two students are great, Fang Xing really needs to be praised for his production of songs.

"This song seems to be tailor-made for the two of you, with coloratura and baritone, the effect is beyond my expectation.

"Hao Shaohua, during the blind audition, I turned around for you, do you still remember?"

Hao Shaohua nodded quickly and replied: "Remember, thank you PhD supervisor for your approval."

Chen Chaonan continued: "At that time, I felt that you were more suitable to come to my place. Although Fang Xing's alto range is also very thick, he is not actually a baritone. I originally thought that he would not be of much help to you.

"However, after hearing this song today, I think you made the right choice. Fang Xing really knows pop music very well, and he can move between pop music and academic music with ease.

“The opening of the song tonight was amazing.

“However, after singing, there was a difficult question to make.

“According to the rules, only one of you two can advance.

"Now it depends on what Fang Xing wants to choose."

Qi Xiuna took one look at Fang Xing's expression and gloated: "I can already see the mask of pain on Fang Xing's face."

Fang Xing complained speechlessly: "You even know the internet memes like Pain Mask."

Qi Xiuna was immediately unconvinced: "Can I also use the Internet?"

Qiao Youhua quickly brought the topic back to the topic: "So, PhD supervisor, do you have any suggestions for Fang Xing?"

Chen Chaonan said with a smile: "This is really difficult to choose. If it were me, I probably wouldn't put the two of them in the same group.

“Because they are all very strong, it would be uncomfortable for anyone to be eliminated.

“However, having said that, it is also because both students are very strong that the cooperation is so effective.

"As for what choice Fang Xing makes, let him have the headache."

Qiao Youhua reminded: "PhD supervisor, give me a suggestion. When your group takes the assessment, other supervisors will also give suggestions."

Chen Chaonan suddenly became troubled, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Hao Shaohua, your baritone expressiveness is indeed very good, but I am also a baritone, so I am more picky in this field.

"In my personal opinion, you still have room for improvement, so my suggestion is Shen Jianjia."

Shen Jianjia and Hao Shaohua bowed together to thank Chen Chaonan for his comments.

This kind of problem will indeed arise when the two powers cooperate.

Chen Chaonan is just giving suggestions and will not affect the final result, even though it is so difficult.

Later, Qi Xiuna and Huang Anhua also gave suggestions one after another. One chose Shen Jianjia and the other chose Hao Shaohua.

Finally, it was Fang Xing's turn to make a decision.

The choices of other mentors are just suggestions. In the end, who goes and who stays depends solely on the mentor Fang Xing’s decision.

Fang Xing thought for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "Actually, according to the rules of the group, 16 will advance to 8 tonight, and then 8 will advance to 4, and there will be a final test later, where 4 will advance to 1.

“That is to say, a group champion will be determined in the end, and then this group champion will represent our team and compete with the champions of other groups for the finals championship.

“Actually, the goal of our internal assessment is to select a student to represent our team.

"If we win in the end, it is the honor of our entire team, not one person's."

At this moment.

Hao Shaohua raised his hand and waited for the host to hand him the microphone. He tried to calm down and said, "Actually, I am very satisfied that I can sing a song produced by instructor Fang Xing.

"We understood the rules from the beginning. Just as instructor Fang Xing said, the goal of Shen Jianjia and I is not to compete, but to collaborate to sing a wonderful song.

"As for who will represent our team in the end, our entire group of students will fully support him and strive for honor for our team."

After Hao Shaohua finished speaking, the host turned the topic back to Fang Xing and said loudly: "Now it's time to make the final decision. Instructor Fang Xing, what is your final choice?"

Fang Xing pondered for three seconds before saying, "Hao Shaohua, after you go down, keep in touch with us in the team group, so that you can have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"So the ones who advance are..." the host answered, stimulating the atmosphere of the scene.

"Shen Jianjia." Fang Xing made the final decision.

"Congratulations to Shen Jianjia for advancing to the next round. And thank you to Hao Shaohua for presenting us with a wonderful song. We must continue singing even after leaving the stage of The Voice." The host made the final summary.

After both people have finished their final remarks.

Shen Jianjia went backstage to prepare for the second round of singing.

Fang Xing walked up, put his arm around Hao Shaohua's shoulders, and sent him off: "On the pinnacle night of the finals, we have an encore performance, don't be sad."

Hao Shaohua's mentality was very stable and he always kept a smile: "I'm not sad. I'm satisfied if I can sing one of my mentor's songs."

actually.

He is older than Fang Xing, already 30 years old.

After graduating from the Conservatory of Music, he has been working in music, but has never been seen by the public.

One of the important reasons is that he is a baritone.

Baritone voices are not very popular in the pop music world.

For most audiences, hitting high notes is the most powerful thing.

A baritone like Hao Shaohua is very powerful in the eyes of professionals, but in the eyes of the general public, there is nothing amazing.

In pop music, the golden range for male singers is the four sets of high notes.

Most popular songs are in four groups of registers.

As a result, most popular songs are not suitable for him to sing.

After so many years, he has no reputation.

I am from a major, so I don’t want to participate in a trainee draft and be cannon fodder.

So I never had the opportunity to appear on the big stage.

In fact.

When the auditions for "The Voice of China" first started, he didn't have much interest.

Domestic TV stations now broadcast more than a dozen music variety shows every year, some popular and some popular.

Popular music variety shows invite big names, not 180-level singers like him.

The popular music variety show can't make any waves even if you go on it.

He had participated in several music programs that were not popular before, and in the end, he was cut out of the program without even a complete song.

Moreover, these vulgar music variety shows are very unfriendly to a baritone like him.

Because these vulgar music variety shows just want the contestants to sing high notes to please the audience. As for the professionalism of the music, that doesn't matter.

It wasn't until "The Voice of China" announced that the last tutor was Chen Chaonan, a doctoral tutor at the Donghai Conservatory of Music and a national baritone singer, that Hao Shaohua was finally tempted and decided to sign up immediately.

He joined the show because of Chen Chaonan, but he didn't necessarily want to be in Chen Chaonan's group.

Because he has graduated many years ago and has no plans to go back to school for further studies.

He knew very well that his real outlet was to find the possibilities of baritone in pop music.

Therefore, the correct answer for him to participate in this show is actually Fang Xing.

Although he only sang one song apart from the blind audition, for him, it was already a success.

He now hopes that this program will be broadcast soon so that the audience can hear the song soon.
