Chapter 1003 This song must be sung well (two chapters in one)

Before the show starts in April, it is unlikely that the cast will be changed, and Yang Qian is also inclined to let Catherine play Aisha.

The reason is very simple. Yang Qian's inspiration for this stage play came from Catherine, and Catherine's magic performance, Yang Qian felt, was very, very well done!

Although this is her old line of work, there is nothing wrong with performing well, but Yang Qian does not think that in a short time, another person who can also perform well in performing magic with special effects can be found to replace Catherine.

Not to mention Ouyang Xiaoqing, the only place where she shines is the singing part. In terms of acting, she has only studied for more than a year, no matter how much she has received the guidance of a famous teacher, it can't change her acting skills and lack of experience.

Not to mention playing Aisha who needs a lot of rich emotional changes, Ouyang Xiaoqing is a bit powerless to play Anna!Anna in her childhood and teenage years was okay, she was relatively innocent, and Ouyang Xiaoqing was very lovable when she acted naughty.

But in later adulthood, apart from kindness and simplicity, Anna also had some bravery, persistence, and other slightly complicated personalities, and Ouyang Xiaoqing couldn't act out these.

So, to change actors on the grounds of pursuing a flawless performance, isn't Ouyang Xiaoqing the one who needs to be replaced?
Ouyang Xiaoqing and Catherine, in this children's musical, both have their own strengths and weaknesses.

What Yang Qian thinks is that they can make breakthroughs through continuous adjustments in the next month, so that they can dedicate to the audience a better live impression in the official performance!
Of course, it doesn’t mean that Mr. Jin Furong’s opinion is not considered, aside from his selfish desire to make Ouyang Xiaoqing play the role of Aisha more brilliantly (in fact, Anna and Aisha have a lot of roles, which belong to the It's a double heroine who is evenly divided, but Aisha's magic may be easier to shine), Catherine's singing is indeed a big problem.

In a month's time, can her bad singing situation be reversed?

Yang Qian didn't know what to do.

Because Catherine is not a young man with better learning ability, many of her abilities have reached her own bottleneck. If she can improve her singing skills, she may not come out of Broadway and try to walk on her own path.

Combined with a lack of treble talent, Catherine's rendition of "Let it go" would indeed be a major disappointment for the show.

"Let it go" is definitely the most important part of "Frozen"!
On Earth, many viewers, especially young viewers, may have grown up from kindergarten children to junior high school or high school friends after many years, and their memories of movies are also blurred, but after hearing "Let it go "The melody, I can definitely sing a few lines along with it!

This song shouldn't appear on stage at this level!
"Is this possible? Catherine will still play Elsa, but we will find someone to voice her?"

Wu Lan had coaxed the child well and asked her husband Dong Wenlei to go for a walk. She came back to listen to their argument and gave a constructive suggestion.

"For this musical, it's not good to find someone to dub it? Lao Jin, I remember that your musicals are required to be narrated and sung on the spot?"

Yu Haisong thinks that such a change is not good.

"Yes, musicals require live performances. Everything you see and hear, except for the sound effects, is presented by the live actors. Otherwise, it is very difficult. Every performance is difficult. Reproduced works of art!"

When Jin Furong spoke, there was a kind of pride that others could not understand reflected in him.

"I don't think this is a difficult problem to solve! There are only a few performances in the United States. We can't coordinate, so we can just perform a few performances like this. But when we return to our country, if it is also a national tour by then, Then we can re-select people, we don’t need foreigners, we also have many musical actors who can sing and act well in our country, right?”

Lei Zhentian said carelessly.

His words got a lot of echoes, and there was an endless stream of voices of approval.

"Yes, Beijing Dance has trained many outstanding musical actors over the years. Some of them went to the Heinness Theater Company, some went to the Beijing Theater Company, and some went abroad."

Of course, Yu Haisong hopes that the students trained by Beijing Dance will have more opportunities.

"If you want to select people, you should choose from the whole country and select the best ones."

Jin Furong showed a lot of open-mindedness here, and he didn't think about giving them all the opportunities for Beijing Dance. He was more happy to see musical theater talents blooming everywhere.

"Yes, Mr. Lei also mentioned just now that the aesthetics of our Chinese people is different from that of foreigners. Foreigners can accept actresses who may not have a good image as the leading roles, but our domestic audiences may not see it that way. Or You have to choose a good actor, both strength and appearance need to be considered."

Wu Lan laughed.

Her coordination in the center still had a good effect.

Listening to what she said, Jin Furong hesitated for a moment, but nodded slightly to express his approval.

Mr. Jin is more influenced by foreign countries. When he teaches students, he only looks at their acting and singing skills. Even if the students are not so outstanding, as long as they are talented, Mr. Jin is still willing to recruit and train them.

But Mr. Jin is also very clear about the domestic reality. After his students go out, quite a few of them are because of their poor image and appearance. A competent protagonist.

Many of these students have gradually changed careers, or switched to behind-the-scenes, and not many of them stayed on the stage and were willing to play supporting roles or even buffoons.

Jin Furong thinks that they are all excellent, especially the ones who stayed and never got a chance. They are good actors who have been buried outside the spotlight!Jin Furong often invited them back to school to give an acting class to the younger brothers and sisters.

But the market is still very realistic. Emotional teachers can't help the troupe make money, and Jin Furong can only admit that for the play "Frozen" to be performed in China, the protagonist really needs to choose good-looking actors.

Just when they started to discuss some domestic female musical actors who sang well, acted well, and had a good image, Yang Qian asked Jin Furong out loud:
"Professor Kim, can we replace the song "Let it go" with pre-recorded sound effects in the part of the Ice Palace? Pretend that this song is not sung by Elsa, but her inner violent heart Mental activities. We added Elsa’s dance moves, and then added this song as the BGM in the background. Of course, they still sang other songs live, especially Xiaoqing. Her request is to sing live and to sing better!"

Yang Qian thought of such a way to get the best of both worlds.

In foreign performances, Catherine continued to play Elsa, and there was no problem for Catherine in the other parts of the dialogue, except for the song "Let it go", which she sang solo, which needed to be taken out and sung by another person, and then replaced with background music presented in a manner.

There seems to be nothing wrong with doing this!

What impressed Catherine the most to American audiences was her stage performance combining pole dancing and video special effects. All previous performances also used BGM.

Therefore, this time, in the performance hosted by "America's Got Talent", she once again staged a performance with special effects to fill up the tension of the dance. Under such circumstances, it seems reasonable to hand over the singing of the song to the soundtrack!
"Yang Qian, what do you mean, this song should be handed over to Xiaoqing to record it in advance?"

Jin Furong pondered.

Based on the idea provided by Yang Qian, he imagined the audience experience at the musical performance scene, and he didn't find it difficult to accept.

Seems like this is really a good idea.

"It's not good to let Xiaoqing record it all. When the audience hears it, isn't it still sung by Anna? You can tell it when you hear the voice, and the audience is all in the show. So I think we have to find someone else. Our company There is also a girl named Zhang Shanshan, she can also control a very high range. Compared with Xiaoqing, her voice is a little thicker, and it may be closer to Catherine's timbre."

Yang Qian introduced with a smile.

"Yeah, you can let Shanshan try it. But it's a pity that she sings very well, but she hasn't learned acting, otherwise it would be good for Aisha in China to let her act."

Wu Lan's eyes lit up, and she smiled in surprise.

They are all their own singers, and Wu Lan must also be thinking about not letting the rich water go to outsiders.

Yang Qian is not so selfish, what he wants is to shape the song "Let it go" better.

A female singer who can control the treble should have a deep voice that can be lowered, and at the same time have a bright and powerful voice that can be raised!

The first thing that came to Yang Qian's mind was Zhang Shanshan!

Zhang Shanshan's characteristics are like this, she is not as sweet as Ouyang Xiaoqing's voice, nor as sharp as Ouyang Xiaoqing's voice, but in terms of strength and depth, Zhang Shanshan's slightly rough voice is definitely better!

Of course, Zhang Shanshan's voice is her own, and everyone has different characteristics.Yang Qian is not sure if the difference between her voice and Catherine's voice will be too obvious after dubbing - if so, the audience may still feel that the show is out of play.

But if the difference is not too much, it can still be replaced. After all, the audience may not be familiar with Catherine's singing state.

"You can let her try. It is really unrealistic to change actors now. We can only tinker with the existing framework and strive to do our best."

Jin Furong is very qualified, so even though he is not a director, nor is he the main creator, but this kind of summary speech, he said it without any sense of disobedience.

Yang Qian and the others nodded their heads one after another.

"Yang Qian, there is actually another question. Shanshan's English skills may not be that good. Will it be difficult for her to sing English songs?"

Wu Lan suddenly thought of this question, but she didn't bring it up to Yang Qian on the spot. When Ouyang Xiaoqing, Catherine and other actors came out after changing their clothes, and everyone surrounded them to communicate, she saw Yang Qian go to hug Yang Xiaozhao, walk out Out of the range of the crowd, he followed suit and started talking to Yang Qian.

Zhang Shanshan, like Ouyang Xiaoqing, is a "partial subject" student who is outstanding in music but has poor academic performance.

But because Ouyang Xiaoqing grew up in the city, and her family was not short of money for her tuition, so even if Ouyang Xiaoqing's grades were poor, her English, especially her spoken English, still had a certain foundation, and she would go abroad later. Before and after going abroad, I have undergone special English tutoring and high-intensity assault training, and only then have I achieved a level comparable to foreigners.

Zhang Shanshan grew up in the countryside, and the English education in Jincheng obviously lacks good teachers, so that her foundation is very poor, and even her pronunciation is not standard.With this level, can you sing English songs well?
Even if you study suddenly, it's too late, right?
"Yes, this is indeed a big problem. Try it first. Let's hire a special English teacher for her to study in surprise. Time is tight, so learn the pronunciation of the words and sentences of this song first, and practice this well. Alright, let's see if it works."

After listening to Wu Lan's words, Yang Qian also found that he was too optimistic, so he couldn't help but said with a wry smile.

"I think we can do both. On the one hand, give Shanshan the opportunity to learn and see if she can grasp it; on the other hand, we can also see if others can do it. Like Haiyan, isn't the treble also very good? She also You can try it. Compared with Shanshan, she has an advantage in that her grades are good and her English is also very good. If she comes to learn, she should learn faster than Shanshan."

Wu Lan is more optimistic about Zhou Haiyan. Although Zhou Haiyan is still in junior high school in Jincheng, this child is smart and well-behaved!

Good grades and strong abilities, aren't these all role model students that adults like?

Yang Qian obviously hesitated for a moment.

"Haiyan, isn't Haiyan going to take the high school entrance examination this year?"

Yang Qian asked.

"Haiyan is in the same situation as Luoluo, right? I remember Sister Wu said that she had already been admitted to Bowen School of Jincheng Middle School in advance."

Dai Yuni laughed.

This is indeed the case. Zhou Haiyan's grades are very good. She used to be ranked first in her class. Even though she was distracted by learning music, she still maintained a good learning attitude. stay in the top ten.

It can be said that she can enter Jincheng Middle School in high school, and that is the real key high school, Jincheng's Ace Middle School!

But Zhou Haiyan still chose to stay at Bowen School of Jincheng Middle School. The reason is very simple. She wants to continue to receive extracurricular music education. Jincheng Middle School does not have such music education resources as Bowen School of Jincheng Middle School. Established a long-term public welfare cooperation relationship and provided one-on-one assistance.

Zhou Haiyan still wants to continue to sing and perform with Tang Zhenliang, Tian Dahe, and the band and choir, so she is willing to stay and continue her high school studies at Bowen School of Jincheng Middle School.

Naturally, with her grades, it was easy for her to take the pre-approval exam of Bowen School of Jincheng Middle School, and she was admitted in advance.

"You can let her try."

Yang Qian nodded, but his expression was not very happy.

He still prefers to let Shanshan sing, because her voice is more suitable for the song "Let it go".

Zhou Haiyan's voice is sweet and clear, which is more suitable for singing folk songs or sweet pop songs. Her sense of power is not as good as that of Ouyang Xiaoqing!
