After failing the college entrance examination, he became a big star

Chapter 522 Music Without Borders

Although it is a booth near the front, there is still a distance of 30 meters from the stage, so it is difficult to see the face of the man on the stage.

It wasn't until the man began to sing that Huo Shuzhen raised her eyebrows and said to herself, "This voice should be Lu Linfeng's."

As he spoke, he looked at Murphy, who squinted his eyes and listened for a while, then nodded.

Tian Cheng looked at Huo Shuzhen, then at Mo Fei, and said with some confusion: "He's so good at being here, shouldn't he be at the Jian Li Mei Qian Nao Hui Opera House?"

Mo Fei shook his head silently, expressing that he didn't know, Huo Shuzhen smiled wryly and didn't answer.

Li Kai saw it in his eyes, and asked in surprise, "Do you know this Lu Linfeng?"

Before the three of Murphy could reply, Qiao Li glanced at him with some strange eyes: "You don't know who Lu Linfeng is?"

Li shrugged and spread his hands.

Qiao Li said: "His debut experience is quite similar to yours. In the second half of 93, he signed with Nisuo Records as a rookie. His first solo single "The Destiny of Love" sold more than 120 million copies and won two charts. Awarded the Best New Male Singer Award, made an exception on the Spring Festival Gala, and ranked second in the selection of the most popular programs in the Spring Festival Gala. The popularity is not much better than before you released your first album. The existence of Cheng Tianwang is called Little Liu Mingliang, or even the Uncrowned Heavenly King."

Speaking of this, there was a pause, and looking at Huo Shuzhen, Huo Shuzhen understood the meaning, shook her head and sighed, and then continued: "The company intends to promote him and push him to the top line within two years, but he was a newcomer at the time. The contract period was only two years, and the company approached him to renew the contract. Not only did he refuse, but his agent also helped him contact an entertainment company of Jianlimei, which bought out the contract for him. Afterwards, his agent resigned and let him Together, we went across the oceans and went to Jianlimei to develop.”

After all, his eyes turned to the stage again, with complicated eyes: "The international music scene, Europe and the United States are the strongest, and the Asian music scene, the island country is on par with Xiao Han. He came to Xiao Han, and it seems that his development in Jianlimei is not smooth. "

Murphy said indifferently: "His voice is very good, and he has a foundation in bel canto, but he can't be regarded as outstanding. In Jianlimei, he has no connections and no foundation. Coupled with racial differences, it is not easy to stand out."

Tian Cheng nodded in agreement, and said with some regret: "If he continues to stay in the country to develop, he may already be crowned king by now."

Just as he was talking, Lu Linfeng had already sung a song, and the response from the guests was mediocre, with sporadic applause.

Tian Cheng frowned: "Why is she so unpopular, she doesn't sing very well."

Zhang Linxiao took it for granted: "It's not because he is from the country of China. The singers from island countries and Korean singers in the Asian region account for more than half of the country. When you look at the singers from the country of China, you always look down."

"Music has no borders." Li opened his eyes and shook his head, not agreeing. There may be people who look down and look up, look up and look down on singers from different countries, but there are very few among the public, and at most there are some emotions. The difference is not significant.

In the previous life, the music circles in Japan and South Korea also rose earlier than those in China, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, and they also have psychological advantages. But as early as the 80s, Teresa Teng had a large number of fans in Japan, and Leslie Cheung held concerts in Korea and Japan. Screaming constantly, BEYONGD went to Japan to hold a full concert, F4 performed 5 songs in a row in a record-breaking place in Japan, and Eason Chan sang "Flastic" live at an Asian awards ceremony held in South Korea, with over [-] Korean fans going crazy
Similarly, Japanese singers and Korean singers also gained a large number of fans in China, which once set off a trend in Japan and Korea. Domestic fans do not regard Korean and Japanese singers as idols because they look up to them.

Music has no borders. This is not a scene, and the language of surprise will not be an obstacle. Whoever grasps the trend of fashion and walks at the forefront of fashion will be accepted and liked by more fans, or the public.

From Li Kai's point of view, Lu Linfeng's development in Jianlimei is not going well, including from the current point of view, he is not doing well in Xiaohan. The key point is that he has no personality and characteristics.

Don't talk about anything else, just talk about the voice, the range is wide, the roar is in place, the breath is full, and the voice is not lacking in emotion, but it can't make people resonate after listening to it, which is commonly known as insufficient recognition. Somewhat dated.

Being able to become an instant hit in China back then doesn't mean that it's okay to return to China now, just like Ning Lan, whose last album before retiring broke double platinum, but her first album after three years will go gold.

The music world is changing with each passing day
Seeing Li Kai's denial, Zhang Linxiao didn't refute it, but he could tell from his expression that he didn't agree with it in his heart.

Lu Linfeng sang three songs. Except for the first Chinese song, the last two were small Korean songs. After leaving the stage, a female singer came on stage. She introduced herself from Jishi, a small Korean city. She is currently a student of an art school. After singing three songs, the response from the guests was also average.

After the two resident singers, there was about 20 minutes of free time, and two guests went up to show off their singing skills. One of the men sang a song with a soaring high pitch, which won bursts of applause.

Then, the third resident singer came to the stage. It looked like he was from Southeast Asia. As expected, he also introduced himself before singing, and he was from India.

Li opened his mouth with a hint of wickedness. In domestic bars, resident singers just go on stage and sing. There is no one who introduces himself. In the night scene, the only one who introduces himself seems to be a row of beauties who bow one by one and introduce themselves like a solitaire: My name is Lili, from Shandong, my name is Meimei, from Qingdao, and my name is Susu, from Dalian.
Although the Indian male singer didn't look very good, his figure was a little swollen and his face was a little flat, but when he opened his mouth, he made the noisy bar hall quiet.

His voice is a kind of mixed voice, which is very rare in the current domestic music scene. Li Kai doesn't know if it is more common in foreign countries.

This singing method is divided into true mixed voice, false mixed voice and half mixed voice.

True mixed voice refers to the mixed voice singing that takes the real voice as the benchmark, and at the same time mixes different degrees of false voice into each syllable in the range. The sound quality of a small amount of false voice has the texture, bright, and full-bodied of real voice, and at the same time, there is no shortage of soft, graceful and agile false voice, and the sound quality is natural, beautiful and moving.

The false mixed voice is just the opposite of the real mixed voice. The false voice is used as the benchmark, and different degrees of the real voice are mixed into the various syllables in the range. More emphasis is placed on the use of false voice, but the role of real voice is also essential, and the sound quality has the characteristics of lubrication and smoothness.

The semi-mixed voice refers to the application of true and false voices in singing.The application of this singing technique can make the sound quality and brightness moderate, and at the same time have the advantages of true and false voices. moving.

This Indian singer uses a true mix, which tends to be a half-mix when it is high-pitched, which is a bit similar to Lin Zhixuan, a famous singer from the previous life on Earth.

In the climax part, a very penetrating high-pitched sound burst out, followed by a sustained sound after a pause, and there was a burst of applause, cheers and screams in the hall.

Li Kai also applauded, and said to Zhang Linxiao with a smile: "If according to your theory, the people of Xiao Han look down on Chinese singers, then they should look down on Indian singers."

Zhang Lin Xiaomiao understood the meaning, her expression was a little sloppy, and the facts at the moment made her unable to refute.

The Indian singer also sang three songs, and then a girl group took the stage, seven beautiful girls, with sailor suits on their upper bodies and narrow skirts on their lower bodies, with most of their legs exposed, all white and beautiful. Eyes blurry.

As soon as he stepped on the stage, it caused a lot of screams.

Huo Shuzhen's eyes lit up, and she said, "BLUE FLOWER."

Hearing the English name, Li Kai easily guessed that it was the name of the girl group on stage, and asked, "Is this girl group famous in Xiaohan?"

Huo Shuzhen said: "Well, it's relatively famous, so it can be regarded as the second-tier middle class."

Similar to Li Kai's imagination, BLUE FLOWER's singing is full of singing and dancing. The sound conditions are good, and the singing skills are not too outstanding, but the dance foundation is solid. During the singing, cross-positioning, playing with various shapes, and mutual cooperation Very tacit understanding.

The previous three resident singers, except for one art school student, Lu Linfeng and the Indian singer, no matter in singing or typhoon, can be seen as professional at a glance, but in comparison, they are far less popular than BLUE FLOWER.

In addition, the combination is suitable for live performances, so as to achieve the double effect of audition.

The emotions of the guests were mobilized. Many people got up and danced in sync with the performance on the stage. Many people who were seated waved their hands and shook their legs with the rhythm of the music, and screams kept coming out.

The bar hall has become a sea of ​​joy.

Two dance songs, one fast song, and when Seventh Girl left the stage waving her hands and raising her eyebrows, the cheers, screams, and whistles made the bar hall feel like it was boiling.

After 10 minutes, the lights on the stage suddenly went dark, and a passionate voice came from the speaker: "Debuted for 4 years, 7 albums, total sales exceeded 700 million copies, 5 singles were on the Asian Billboard, and the representative work "THE "MORE" won the eighth place in Asia Billboard last year, let's give warm applause to the island country's popular rock band, Roam About."

It was spoken in Korean, which Li Kai couldn't understand, but the name of Roam About was slightly familiar to him, who has been trying to catch up on the Asian music scene recently.

Huo Shuzhen was startled, and breathed in: "Roam About, one of the four most popular rock bands in the island country, can also be ranked first in the Asian music scene."

Mo Fei's eyes flashed, and he was also interested.

As soon as the lights on the stage came on, five big boys walked onto the stage waving their hands, and the scene was full of joy!
As the front line of the Asian music scene, Roam About's influence is naturally not limited to island countries. It is quite popular in South Korea, Southeast Asia, and Hong Kong Island, Baodao, and even Guangzhou City in China.

Roam About is not the resident singer of the ** bar, but he was specially invited on the first day of the new year. Naturally, he didn't just sing three songs, and he sang six songs for half an hour.

Two in English, two in Korean, and two in Mandarin.

Among them, "THE MORE", which was Billboard's No. [-] masterpiece last year, caused a chorus of hundreds of people at the scene.

It really turned the scene into a small concert.

It's almost eleven o'clock now, which is the prime time of nightlife. The atmosphere in the whole bar hall is in full swing, as if it is about to fry the pot. Compared with the previous performance of BLUE FLOWER, the popularity is obviously higher.

Thus, a perfect interpretation of what is called music without borders.

You must know that in the Asian music scene, the island country and Little South Korea are on equal footing. The singers of the two countries do not buy each other, and the competition is fierce. However, the island country singers still have a large number of fans in Xiaohan, and vice versa.

For the public, what they like are the songs themselves and the singers themselves. As for whether they are from their own country or foreign countries, it is not that important.

When the five big boys left the stage, they cheered and screamed, and the clinking of glasses was mixed together, which made people's eardrums sore.

Rock is called soul music, and it can mobilize people's emotions the most. Tian Cheng's face flushed slightly, and he smacked his lips: "Sister Mo, look, how popular rock and roll is abroad, I think, if you release an album again, Should try rock and roll."

As he spoke, he drank half a glass of wine in one gulp, let out his breath, and said, "Or try dance music. This year, 17 dance songs were shortlisted in the Billboard Top 9, [-] more than last year. Obviously, it has become the mainstream of the Asian music scene. , and the fiery momentum is very fierce.”

Murphy took a sip of his wine, thoughtful.

Li Kai chuckled, and said: "Among the top 18 songs on Billboard this year, [-] are lyrical slow songs, which are still the mainstream in the Asian music scene. Murphy originally sang lyrical slow songs, why bother to change? "

Tian Cheng retorted: "That's because there are many old-fashioned singers in Daoguo and Xiaohan. They all became popular by singing lyrical slow songs. They are still popular now, but they have obviously gone downhill."

After all, he turned towards the stage and pouted: "Just look at the singers on stage tonight, roam about, how popular is BLUE FLOWER, one is rock, and the other is dance music. Their own popularity bonuses are not counted. Take India Compared with the Chinese singer, the female singer, and Lu Linfeng, the Indian singer is the most popular because his voice is unique, and he sings an R&B song, a jazz song, and a world famous song. , followed by the female singer, two of the three songs are fast-paced, and Lu Linfeng is the worst. I think the biggest reason is that all three of his songs are lyrical and slow."

Tian Cheng spoke plausibly, but Li Kai shook his head, saying: "As long as love is an eternal topic of human beings, love songs will be an indispensable element of pop music. Whether it is domestic or Asian, or even international music, lyrical slow songs will always be popular. It will be one of the mainstream.”

As Tian Cheng, she wouldn't know it normally, and wouldn't dare to be serious with Li Kai, but now that she drank too much, she was very dissatisfied with Li Kai's conclusion, rolled her eyes, and hummed: "How about you Prove it, go up and sing a lyrical slow song, as long as the popularity is higher than that Indian singer, I will admit that you are right."

As he spoke, he stared at Li Kai without blinking, with a provocative look in his eyes.
