This star’s style is wrong

The real name of "Wheatfield Guitarist" is He Chengyun. He is a mixer. He used to work in a record company and later opened a small studio independently.

Since the studio is relatively small, there is not much daily work.

Most of the time, I take outsourcing work from some entertainment companies, or do post-mixing for independent singers and songwriters.

In the music industry, there are many musicians who are invisible to the public.

There are countless 18th-tier singers, singer-songwriters, and bands like crucian carp crossing a river.

Especially with the development of the Internet era, many songs have become popular on Internet platforms and become famous overnight.

Therefore, more and more 18th-tier singers, singer-songwriters are creating online songs.

However, I am not capable enough, from writing lyrics and composing music, to arranging, recording, to editing and mixing.

Starting a song from scratch, there are so many steps that need to be done.

If one person could get all the work done, he would have succeeded in the music industry.

Therefore, the studio of "Wheatfield Guitarist" often helps some unknown online singers and bands arrange and mix songs.

Last year, during a live broadcast, he mentioned that a popular idol lip-synced at a party, and as a result, he was chased and scolded by the idol's fans for a month.

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and made a video to identify lip-syncing.

The professional sound editing software Melodyne was used. In the software, the party video and the album CD were played simultaneously, and the sound waveform was checked to prove the idol's lip-synching from multiple angles.

Under this video, netizens started a war with fans and directly put this video on the most viewed rankings.

The "Wheatfield Guitarist" is already married, has a child, and doesn't have much income from the studio. It turns out that he can attract a lot of traffic by identifying real and lip-syncing on the Internet.

Although he was scolded badly, it didn't matter to him as he could make money to support his family.

Moreover, identifying singers' lip-synching is a good starting point for the topic, so they began to produce identification videos one after another.

So far, more than thirty videos have been made.

For the sake of popularity, He Chengyun often rides on the popularity of parties.

Every time there is a live broadcast of a party, he will start a live broadcast and comment on whether the singer can really sing.

The result of this is that fans of celebrities are often criticized, especially top fans with explosive fighting skills. They are often scolded to the point where the comment section is completely ruined.

However, He Chengyun has a good mentality.

You can only make money to support your family. If you are scolded, you can be scolded. It is not shabby to get some traffic.

actually.

There are advantages and disadvantages to making this kind of video.

It will make it difficult for him to get involved in the music industry.

He is a mixer himself, and if he does well, he might be able to get a job as a front-line singer.

However, when he identified lip-syncing on the Internet, it didn't matter if he identified the real one. Once he identified the lip-syncing, he basically offended the lip-syncing star.

However, he is just an UP owner with 100,000 fans, enjoying the popularity to make a living.

It is impossible for ordinary celebrities to really trouble him, after all, the popularity is not equal.

If a popular star takes another look at him, his price will drop.

He Chengyun also knows that after doing too much lip-syncing identification, his career as a sound mixer will become narrower and narrower in the future.

After serious consideration, he decided to stick to this matter.

Although the fan base is not large, the matter of lip-syncing identification will attract many passers-by and netizens to watch.

Especially when there is a live broadcast party, he can really gain a lot of popularity.

…

This time.

Fang Xing sang the TV series theme song "Know or Not" on "Happy Weekend".

As a result, many traffic fans accused him of lip-synching, and even went to He Chengyun's live broadcast room and asked him to perform an appraisal.

He Chengyun also made it very clear during the live broadcast.

There is no need to identify real singing and lip-synching when recording and broadcasting programs, because it will be done in post-production.

Whether the program team edits the sound or not has nothing to do with the guests.

Unless you can get live shots.

However, recorded programs like "Happy Weekend" generally do not allow viewers to film them.

Unless an audience member secretly filmed the singing, there would be no direct video.

"Wheatfield Guitarist" He Chengyun originally thought this would be the end.

As a result, that night, during the live broadcast, someone sent a live video of Fang Xing singing "Know or Do You Know" to his mailbox.

He Chengyun was still broadcasting live, and he was a little surprised when he saw the direct-shot video in his mailbox:

"A netizen actually sent me a video shot live. Is this video sure to be used? There won't be any legal disputes?"

The barrage in the live broadcast room suddenly became lively when I heard that there was a direct video.

[Quickly identify it, take out your Melodyne, and use the software to tell me if Fang Xing is lip-synching. 】

【Wow! It would be very interesting if it was proven that Fang Xing lip-synced. This thing also exists today! 】

[Are you guys fans or just people having fun? Are you still expecting him to be caught lip-synching? 】

[Fang Xing is truly lucky to have "fans" like you. 】

In addition to musicians and passers-by, there are also many fans of Xiao Lunsheng and Ma Hongcheng in the live broadcast room.

There have been rumors on the Internet that Xiao Lun Sheng and Ma Hongcheng's "What Year Is This Eve" was skipped because they were afraid of "Do You Know".

Fans naturally disagree, and now they cling to news and comments related to Fang Xing.

Now, Fang Xing has been caught "lip-syncing". Doesn't this make the matter a nail in the coffin?

[Anchor, you will make an appraisal now. If there is a legal dispute, we will crowdfund to help you fight the lawsuit. 】

[Quickly identify, this piece of shit FX must be lip-syncing. 】

[Yes, hurry up and identify him. I feel sick when I see FX. His true identity must be revealed. 】

[This piece of shit like FX, isn’t it possible that all the music shows you were on before were all lip-syncing? 】

Before this, there were occasional debates about celebrity lip-synching, but it rarely became a hot topic.

After all, the entertainment industry has formed a tacit understanding that lip-synching is an objective fact, and entertainment companies will try their best to reduce the popularity.

Fans don't want their idols to be said to be lip-syncing.

As long as no one bothers about lip-synching, there won't be any quarrel about this topic.

The main reason why Fang Xing's "lip-syncing" became a hot topic this time is because fans of "What Year Is This Eve" are clinging to it in order to make Fang Xing feel uncomfortable.

"Wheatfield Guitarist" He Chengyun was a little excited.

Because Fang Xing is the top among the top, if the lip-syncing is really identified, it will be big news.

Maybe, he can attract tens of thousands of fans based on this appraisal.

As for whether there is any legal dispute over the direct video.

In fact, he was not afraid because the video was not taken by him but was sent to him by netizens.

Even if there is a legal dispute, the most he can do is delete the identification video.

He Chengyun rubbed his hands and said, "Since everyone wants to know, let's give it a try.

“First, let’s open the software.

“The pitch editing software I use is Melodyne. If you have students who have studied pitch editing, you should be familiar with this software.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to download the video of Fang Xing singing from "Happy Weekend" first, and I'll look for a free version.

"Okay, found it.

“Now I have two videos in my hand, one is the official video of Xiangguo Video, and the other is a video shot directly by the audience.

“We imported the two videos into the software, extracted the audio tracks, and then removed the instrumental accompaniment, leaving only the vocals.

"Okay, done.

"The two waveforms we see now are the vocal audio of the two videos. The top one is the official one, and the bottom one is the one shot directly by the audience.

"Align the two audios, then play them synchronously, and stop them."

On the live broadcast screen, Melodyne’s software interface was demonstrated.

The two audios are played simultaneously, and two sounds appear in the speaker.

The song begins with Lin Yingxue's voice: "Once the flowers bloom and the willows grow..."

He Chengyun listened carefully to Lin Yingxue's part, then pressed the pause button and said: "Netizens with good ears should be able to hear that there are subtle differences between the two audios.

"In other words, there is a difference between the official version and the straight-to-film version of the first verse that Lin Yingxue sang.

"Let's continue listening. Next is the part where Fang Xing sings."

He pressed the play button and the two audio clips continued to play.

"The former palace chief was thin

"Taigao Bingbing tears are hard to shed

"After sending off the brocade book, I suddenly looked back

"There's no time left to steal..."

After playing this segment, He Chengyun pressed the pause button again and said:

"The overlap in this section is very high. Unless you have been mixing for many years, you can hardly hear the difference."

Subsequently.

He played the entire song several times, and even played some parts over and over again.

After listening, he opened the audio waveform:

"Okay, next, let's take a look at the waveform."

Melodyne's waveform interface is displayed.

Two audios, two waveforms.

He Chengyun said while comparing: “Actually, it’s very clear when you see the waveform diagram.

"For the part where Lin Yingxue sings, the waveforms of the two audios are slightly different.

"In other words, the official version of Lin Yingxue's audio must have been edited, and all the key sounds have been edited, and several key sounds are very accurate.

“Here’s a popular science point of view: sound modification is part of post-production. If we can’t modify sound, then it will be difficult for us mixers to find jobs.

"This is not to criticize Lin Yingxue, on the contrary, I want to praise Lin Yingxue.

“The audio of the official version and the direct-filmed version are different, which shows that Lin Yingxue must have really sang at the scene.

"Netizens who often watch my videos should know that it is actually very common for actors to lip-sync.

"Actors who are willing to really sing, even if their singing is flawed, are worthy of encouragement."

Identify here.

There are more and more barrages in the live broadcast room:

[We don’t want to see if Lin Yingxue lip-syncs, we want to know if Fang Xing does. 】

[Lin Yingxue sang for real, wouldn’t Fang Xing still lip-sync? 】

[It’s hard to say. I just listened to two audios, the official version and the direct-shot version. Fang Xing’s voice overlapped very well. Maybe it was actually a CD played live. 】

He Chengyun continued the appraisal and pulled the waveform chart to the part where Fang Xing sang:

“Next is Fang Xing’s part, let’s look at the waveform diagram first.

“The two waveforms overlap very closely, and there is basically no editing, with only very subtle differences.

“First of all, let’s do some popular science. This subtle difference is not necessarily caused by tuning, but may also be caused by poor recording effect.

"After all, the version shot directly by the audience, at first glance, was shot with a mobile phone. It is not a professional recording equipment. It is normal for the recording effect to be poor.

“Comparing the waveforms of the two versions, it can be said that they are basically the same, so just watch the official version.

“The waveform of the official version of Fang Xing’s singing part has many details, and the ups and downs of the waveform are very obvious.

"Based on my experience, I can confirm that the part where Fang Xing sang was very poorly edited in the later stage, basically not much.

“So, I personally tend to think that he really sang live, and he sang really well.

"Of course, some netizens will definitely ask whether it is possible to record the audio in advance and then play the audio live.

“This possibility exists, but judging from the video we have so far, there is no sign to prove it.

“Furthermore, I have reviewed many of Fang Xing’s live videos, and with his singing skills, he can indeed sing at this level.

"So, my personal conclusion is that Fang Xing really sang at the scene.

"Fang Xing's vocals are also very accurate. Occasionally there are slight deviations in individual vocals, but they are all within the normal range.

“Let’s educate yourself here. Even if you are a top-notch singer, if you sing the same song twice, it will not be exactly the same. It is normal for slight changes in pitch.

"When a singer sings, each emotional expression is different, and the waveform of the voice will naturally change slightly.

"In fact, art is reflected in these subtle changes. If a singer always sings exactly the same, what is the difference between him and a robot?

"The same goes for Shen Jianjia in the back. She has a good academic background and really sings live.

"Wang Kai also sang for real, but there were some inaccuracies in the direct-to-video video, and the official version has been corrected.

“Finally, let’s wrap up.

"The song "Know or Not" on "Happy Weekend" was sung by all four people live.

"However, in the official video that TV viewers saw, the parts of Lin Yingxue and Wang Kai were edited, while the parts of Fang Xing and Shen Jianjia were not edited much.

"This is the conclusion. This is my personal appraisal result and does not represent the facts.

"If fans and netizens have more evidence, they can provide it to me. If it proves that my conclusion is wrong, I will actively correct it.

"That's it for today's live broadcast. Tomorrow, I will intercept this video of the appraisal and send it to my appraisal topic."

【rigorous! I believed it. 】

[From the perspective of the audience, Lin Yingxue and Wang Kai have actually practiced their music. Can they be said to be lip-syncing? 】

[This cannot be said to be lip-syncing. It is normal for the recording and broadcasting programs to be edited in the post-production process. 】

[If the audio editing of the recording and broadcasting program is considered to be lip-synching, then if Xiangguo Channel uses such a large filter, can it be said that the celebrities have fake faces? 】

【Fuck! This angle is tricky, but somehow makes sense. 】

[Yes, the recording and broadcasting programs are all lip-synching. Even if the singing is flawed, it is still worthy of encouragement. Lin Yingxue and Wang Kai are both very good. 】

[It’s boring, Fang Xing didn’t even lip-sync, which made me happy for nothing. 】

[I clicked in when I saw the title of Fang Xing’s lip-synching, but I had all the melon seeds laid out. Can you show me this? 】

[Just be your own people. 】

[Fang Xing is truly lucky to have a group of fun fans like you. 】

[However, there is one thing to say, professional singers are indeed much better than non-professional singers, and the gap between Lin Yingxue and Wang Kai's unedited versions and Fang Xing's is also huge. The revised official version only narrows the gap. 】
