Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 968 Sweet Singing
On the program list, my own programs are relatively close to the middle, and although everyone's programs are staggered, the arrangement is relatively concentrated. It is obvious that this is for the singers to catch up with the show. On average, one song is 5 minutes long, and three songs are also short. But 15 minutes, you only need to finish the performance within an hour, you can leave this venue and go to the next one.

These routines Zhou Zhi had passed through in the previous life, and soon changed into costumes, arranged makeup and hairstyle, and came to the waiting area to watch the performance.

When Zhou Zhi was reminiscing about this once familiar scene with relish, he felt someone licking his back.

As soon as I turned my head, I saw a big beauty wearing a royal blue silk dress, crystal high-heeled sandals, and long-sleeved silk gloves, with exquisite and gorgeous makeup, tall black hair, and a crown decorated with broken diamonds. in front of.

"Ting... Tingting?" After the little girl said so, she almost overwhelmed the whole backstage, even Zhou Zhi, who was very familiar with her, was dazed for a moment.

In the last life, the two brothers and sisters wore cheap clothes when they ran the venue. The clothes were rented from the bridal shop, and the accessories were all randomly searched for in places such as Kowloon and the lotus pond. The costumes and accessories that came down were good things carefully selected for many years. Obviously, even the makeup technique was instructed by famous teachers.

So Zhou Zhi had never seen Guan Tingting look like this in his last life.

"Does it look good?" The big eyes with false eyelashes flashed, and Guan Tingting handed Zhou Zhi a string of sapphire-shaped decorative necklaces: "Come and put them on for me."

"It's so beautiful." Zhou Zhi took the necklace and stood behind Guan Tingting, wrapped the necklace around her neck, and said softly, "Little girl, you've grown up all of a sudden."

Guan Tingting leaned back and bumped Zhou Zhi with her back, obviously a little smug.

Zhou Zhi, who was leaning on but buttoning the necklace, accidentally caught a glimpse of the gully on Guan Tingting's chest under the silk dress, and was so frightened that he quickly turned his gaze back to the button.

It's a prophecy, this little girl really grew up all at once...

After getting convinced, the brothers and sisters began to watch other people's performances.

In the previous life, Guan Tingting explained the precautions to Zhou Zhi, but in this life it was Zhou Zhi's turn to explain to Guan Tingting.

The performances here are actually quite professional, but they are a bit too "academic", and the imitation is too deliberate. Just now, one of the two singers imitated Yang Yuying, and the other was older, and even imitated Dong Wenhua in a military uniform. Five's moon is singing here, it's really a bit... It can only be regarded as a warm-up.

"Is this a related household?" Zhou Zhi whispered in Guan Tingting's ear.

"Aren't we?" Guan Tingting gave Zhou Zhi an elbow, "I don't even scold myself."

"I found out that your temper has changed when you're on stage?" Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "You couldn't even answer this kind of talk before."

"It's my turn, I'm too lazy to be poor with you." Guan Tingting turned around and showed Zhou Zhi a sweet smile that seemed extremely sincere, but Zhou Zhi knew it was her masked sweet smile: "Wish me good luck."

"Go, go and give this ordinary night a touch of beauty, go and turn upside down the crowds of people under the stage, the brilliance of her face will cover up the brightness of the stars, and make the birds sing as if it was dawn—" Zhou Zhi put on a pose He recited it like a chant in a sub-stage play.

Guan Tingting's smile turned into a real smile: "I found that when you came to the stage, your temper changed."

At this time, the off-site host had already started to make jokes, told a few jokes to brighten the atmosphere, and finally said in an exaggerated tone: "Next, let's invite Miss Guan Tingting, who is known as 'Little Teresa Teng', to present a song for everyone. ——"Seeing Cooking Smoke Again"!"

However, when the music started and the host left, there was no one on the stage, only the beautiful and melodious singing sounded.

"I saw the smoke rising from the kitchen, and the twilight illuminated the earth..."

Teresa Teng is actually an underestimated singer. For a long time, when it comes to Teresa Teng, she is the representative of "The Music of Decadence".

However, in fact, she is at the highest level in terms of timbre, range, chest resonance and abdominal support in the cavity, five groups of high-pitched ability to maintain, deep bass, high-pitched brightness, and strong metal mixing.

It's just that Teresa Teng's popular songs are mainly adagio and tenderness, which caused her personal ability not to be highlighted.

Only those who have heard her sing "Star" can really know how powerful her abilities and skills are.

The funniest thing is that Teresa Teng's singing has a certain relationship with Zhou Zhi's academic research.

Chinese pays attention to the correct accent and roundness of characters. This accent actually refers to "biting characters".

The ancients have studied chanting very thoroughly. The traditional articulation is actually divided into three parts, that is, "sounding", "leading the abdomen", and "returning to the rhyme".

The utterance of a word, especially when the voice is long, will become more obvious.

"Bitting the characters" refers to biting the initials accurately, which are actually the initials, and the so-called "sounding" refers to pronouncing the initials accurately.

"Yinfu" refers to the final vowel that prolongs the sound, and is usually also called the word belly.

"Return to rhyme" is the ending of the pronunciation.

Therefore, the pronunciation process can be summarized into three key points: bite the beginning of the word, pronounce the belly of the word, and close the end of the word.

The reason for doing this is because Chinese itself has its own high and low pitches, but after adding music to it, it is necessary to replace the high and low pitches of this language with the pitch of the tune, so as to remove the "speaking" when singing. Taste" to reflect the greatest charm of music.

How to solve it?Take the word "sea" as an example.

"Da" has a high pitch, while "Hai" has a low pitch. To solve this problem in music, "sea" must be divided into three parts.

First, the sound of "drinking" is made, which is "sounding out"; then the tone is brightened with a long mouth, which is "leading the abdomen", and finally it is returned to the rhyme of "love", which is "returning rhyme".

In this way, "Da - Hai -" becomes "Da - Drink Love -", so that the pitches of "Da" and "Love" are originally the same, and you only need to set the pitch according to the tune. .

In the past, Chinese poetry and singing, to drama performances, and then to folk singing, and all kinds of folk arts were basically the same.

This expression is particularly obvious in the "Nian Bai" of Peking Opera.

However, starting from Teresa Teng, this cookie-cutter singing method began to change, which is what she first started to use - the awareness of pronunciation.

This question is a bit complicated to say, but roughly speaking, the articulation point of articulation is very forward, unified in front of the maxillary sinus, and the mouth forms a bright and soft tone.

This way of pronunciation is actually a combination of the high-pitched singing of folk songs and the singing of Western music, which is characterized by warmth, softness and brightness.

It is indeed worthy of the term "sweet music", so that later the singing circle called this singing method "sweet singing".

But if you think that Teresa Teng can only sing one and a half octaves without treble, that is a great misunderstanding.

In the era when tapes were not popular, the better the songs, the more popular they were, and there was no way around that.

If you listen to her English and Japanese songs, you will know her true ability.

After Guan Tingting sang the first verse, she slowly walked towards the center of the stage. This way of "hearing the voice first, seeing the person later" also gave countless audiences room for imagination.

But no matter what they imagined, Tingting's appearance proved that their imagination was not enough. The owner of the singing voice was even more beautiful than they imagined.

Of course, the bonus of makeup is inevitable.

When everyone in the audience was intoxicated by Guan Tingting's appearance and singing voice, only Zhou Zhi was pondering academically with his head down, comparing the huge difference between the vocal position of the "sweet singing method" and the traditional vocalization.
