This star is wrong

Chapter 169 "Rolling East of the Yangtze River"

East China Sea, Tianlan Wenyuan.

The live broadcast of the finals of "The Voice" has been broadcast until the end of Zhong Yuanxun's singing.

Lu Xiang'er listened to the whole song seriously, and involuntarily stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around Ning Xiaoyun's arm, staring at the TV without blinking: "He's about to play."

Ning Xiaoyun stared at a pair of dead fish eyes, and said expressionlessly: "He will play if he wants to play, why are you grabbing my arm?"

"Huh? Oh."

Lu Xianger withdrew her hand again, and said nervously: "But Zhong Yuanxun and Pu Sumei sang really well just now, even compared to Li Caiwei's group, they may not necessarily lose."

As students of the Dongyin Orchestra Department, their ability to distinguish music is much stronger than that of ordinary audiences.

Therefore, they could clearly hear the harmony of Zhong Yuanxun and Pu Sumei, and they really sang very well, definitely at the top level in the music world.

Ning Xiaoyun said nonchalantly: "If they sing well, they sing well. Why are you nervous?"

Lu Xiang'er turned to look at her, frowned and said, "Fang Xing is about to play, aren't you nervous at all?"

Ning Xiaoyun continued to spread her hands nonchalantly and said, "What does it matter to me if he plays?"

Lu Xiang'er stared at her resentfully for a while, then turned her head to continue watching TV, and hummed, "Then let me be nervous alone."

Ning Xiaoyun laughed, reached out and hugged Lu Xiang'er, and said, "I'm just joking, but there's no need to be nervous. Fang Xing has already won a season, so it's impossible to win a round."

"What if? What if?" Lu Xiang'er still couldn't get over this hurdle.

"What can we do? Cold salad. How about it? Can you help him win the game from a distance?" Ning Xiaoyun lay on the sofa with a very rational expression, very relaxed.

"That's what I said, but I'm still a little worried." Lu Xiang'er rubbed her hands and said cheers in her heart.

Ning Xiaoyun laughed and said, "I'm not worried at all. If he loses to Zhong Yuanxun, next time I see him, I will try my best to ridicule him."

Lu Xiang'er frowned and turned to stare at her: "Are you going too far?"

"The loser has to endure the storm. The atmosphere in the country is already very good. If Zhong Yuanxun loses, he might have to swim back." Ning Xiaoyun had a very determined expression.

……

Many viewers who watched the live broadcast were discussing this topic.

Amidst the discussion, He Hao returned to the stage and began to speak in sequence:
"The most exciting moment has come. Who is the singer who will appear next? Audience friends, who do you say?"

The audience responded loudly: "Fang Xing!"

"Who is it? Louder, I didn't hear clearly." He Hao said, passing the topic to the audience.

"Fang wake up!"

The audience responded loudly again.

He Hao continued with satisfaction: "That's right, the audience friends have already guessed the singer who will appear next.

"But, can you guess the singer, can you guess the guest singer?

"Do you want to know if the singing guest is a man or a woman?
"Okay, I won't whet everyone's appetites anymore, now invite the competing singers, and the guest singers he invited, please!"

Backlighting from behind the stage.

Two figures appeared in the backlight, and their faces could not be seen clearly.

The two singers walked towards the backlight, they didn't hold hands, but walked together in a straight posture.

The audience at the scene stretched their necks to see, wanting to see clearly the identity of the singing guest.

Due to the backlight, the audience can't see the faces of the two singers clearly, but they can distinguish the outline of the body shape from the backlight.

"It seems to be a male singer. Judging from his figure, he should be a male singer."

"Male singer? Are there any male singers stronger than Zhang Huiying?"

Not only the current audience is puzzled, but the live barrage is even more of a hidden picture:
[Looking at the outline, there is nothing wrong with being a male singer. 】

【Who?Why is it a male singer? 】

[Look at the figures of these guest singers, they don't look like young singers. 】

[Who is it?I don’t even want Zhang Huiying, but if I find a male singer, it won’t be some heavenly king, right? 】

[Heavenly King is unlikely, the older generation of Heavenly Kings, whose voice is not at its peak, is unlikely to come out as a guest singer. 】

[There is a heavenly king Liu Hongsheng on the stage, where can I find another heavenly king to sing? 】

[Even if they are heavenly kings, individual heavenly kings are not known for their singing skills. 】

[However, Fang Xing can obviously ask Zhang Huiying to be the guest singer, instead of Zhang Huiying, find another male singer, it doesn't make sense that this male singer is weaker than Zhang Huiying. 】

[Let's not talk about the king of heaven, I have also counted the super first-line male singers, and I think it is impossible. 】

In the audience's guess.

The two finally reached the center of the stage, the backlight dissipated, and the spotlight was projected from above, illuminating their faces clearly.

The moment he saw clearly the appearance of the singing guest, there was an exclamation from the scene.

"Ph.D. Supervisor! It's actually a Ph.D. supervisor!"

"Fuck! Chen Chaonan was brought here, no wonder Zhang Huiying sang for Li Caiwei."

The live barrage began to explode violently:

[Fuck!I didn't expect that I invited my Ph.D. supervisor here. 】

[Students ask the teacher to help sing, yes, there is something. 】

[I've come to help sing, if I don't take the postgraduate entrance examination, it won't make sense, right? 】

[This is to turn the teacher-student relationship into a comrade-in-arms relationship. 】

[It's too fierce to invite Chen Chaonan. It seems that Chen Chaonan has never been a guest singer before. 】

[Academic singers like Chen Chaonan cannot easily be sung by others. 】

【If you can invite Chen Chaonan to help sing, doesn't that mean...】

[It's getting better, it's getting better.After listening to Zhong Yuanxun's song before, I thought Fang Xing was going to post it, but now he suddenly feels better again. 】

【Get better +1】

【Get better +2】

The live broadcast continues.

He Hao first greeted Chen Chaonan: "Hello, Professor Chen."

"Hello, Teacher He." Chen Chaonan also hurriedly greeted.

He Hao looked at the audience and asked, "Didn't you think so? Fang Xing invited all the doctoral supervisors from his alma mater."

One audience member shouted loudly: "I thought of it!"

Before the start of the finals, many netizens speculated on the Internet about the guest singers, and indeed some netizens mentioned Chen Chaonan.

However, netizens basically clicked on all the singers who can be named, and this kind of guessing has no effect.

He Hao started the interaction before the competition: "I also know a piece of news that Fang Xing not only invited his Ph.D. supervisor, but also invited Dongyin No. [-] Symphony Orchestra along the way.

"The last time I sang "Qilixiang", the string group came, but this time the whole symphony orchestra came.

"We first welcome the teachers and students of the First Symphony Orchestra of the Donghai Conservatory of Music, welcome."

The camera scanned the direction of the band, there were already full of musicians, more than 100 people.

After introducing the Dongyin No. [-] Symphony Orchestra, He Hao continued to ask: "Professor Chen, as far as I know, you have never been a singing guest for anyone. What did Fang Xing use to impress you?"

Chen Chaonan replied in a straight voice: "The main thing is that the songs are good. As a singer, I can't resist the temptation of good songs."

"Wow!"

He Hao exclaimed very appreciatively, and then asked: "According to what I know about Professor Chen, Professor Chen is a baritone, right?"

Chen Chaonan nodded and replied, "Yes, I am a baritone."

He Hao continued to ask: "Then the tune of this song..."

Chen Chaonan introduced with a smile: "This song fits the baritone range, and it spans two octaves. It is quite difficult to sing from F2 to F4."

He Hao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Even Professor Chen said it was difficult to sing, so how difficult is it?"

Fang Xing took over the topic and said, "Professor, I'm sorry to be too blunt, let me say it. To put it simply, many singers can't sing this song, including our opponent."

Whoa!
As soon as the words came out.

There was a sudden commotion at the scene.

The live barrage is even more refreshing:

[Sure enough, it's you, you still owe me so much, I like it! 】

【Familiar taste, familiar formula. 】

[Okay, it’s very easy to directly provoke the opponent on the stage. 】

[I'm happy when you say that.You win, I am happy.I'm happier if you overturn your car and hit your face. 】

[It's better not to overturn the car tonight, and wait for the next time to overturn the car. 】

[Wait a minute, the doctoral supervisor is a baritone, so isn't the tune of this song relatively low?But Zhong Yuanxun was so high-pitched just now.Is this going to hit the treble with the midrange? 】

[Singing from F2 to F4, in fact, F4 is not too low. F4 is the voice-changing point of most male voices, it cannot be considered low, but F2 is really low.From a professional point of view, this song is really difficult to sing and requires a lot of vocal skills. 】

[Indeed, F4 is not too low.If this song is sung from F2 to F4, if it is sung well, you can imagine that the effect must be very good. 】

In the pop-up screen that refreshes the screen.

He Hao continued to ask: "What kind of difficult method is it? Can you be more specific?"

Fang Xing thought for a while, and replied: "The lowest note should be sung to F2, which is two octaves lower than the golden range of pop male singers. If you can make this note stably, and have enough breath to sing the entire lyrics, it's already It’s not easy. It’s even more difficult to sing high-quality F2.”

He Hao asked again: "Can you give me an example? Which singers do you think can't sing?"

Fang Xing smiled and said, "Lu Ming will definitely not be able to sing. If I ask him to sing this song, he will definitely say: You kill me."

When these words were spoken, the audience burst into laughter.

Everyone knows that Lu Ming's treble is very clean and pleasant, and it is easy to sing five sets of super high notes, but it is really difficult for him to sing two sets of low notes.

He Hao continued to ask questions: "According to the information I got from the director team, the song you are about to sing has something to do with the previous song by Li Caiwei, is that so?"

Fang Xing nodded and replied, "Yes, in fact, these two songs are the theme songs for CCTV's opening drama next year. Li Caiwei sang the ending song, and Professor Chen and I sang the opening song."

He Hao continued, "I also got another inside information. The lyrics of this song have a lot of background, don't they?"

Fang Xing nodded and replied: "Yes, the lyrics of this song are "Linjiang Immortal Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" written by Ming Dynasty poet Yang Shen."

"Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" is a song written by Ming Dynasty poet Yang Shen, composed by Gu Jianfen, and sung by Yang Hongji. It is the opening song of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

There are not many singers who have sung this song, because the range of two octaves from F2 to F4 is indeed not something that ordinary singers can sing.

For most male singers, the sound of F2 may be able to be pronounced, but they dare not talk about the quality at all.

Therefore, this song is usually sung by the singers of the national team.

Among them, on the program "Classic Odes", there is a version sung by Yang Hongji and Wang Xi.

In the prelude of this version, a classic Peking opera aria "Green Plum Cooking Wine On Heroes" is added.

"It turned out to be a song adapted from an ancient poem. I haven't started singing yet. I already feel the historical picture coming. Then let us listen to this song and leave the stage to you." He Hao turned around and left after finishing the last sentence off stage.

Fang Xing and Chen Chaonan looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Afterwards, Chen Chaonan signaled to the symphony that it could start.

dong dong dong...

Several gongs and drums sounded.

When the camera turned, two Peking Opera actors were photographed.

If you are an audience who often watches Peking Opera, you can recognize it at a glance. Among the two Peking Opera characters, the one with the white face is Cao Cao, and the other is Liu Bei.

Just listen to Cao Cao's recitation: "If you are a hero, you must have great ambitions, have a good plan, have the opportunity to encompass the universe, have the ambition to swallow the world, and know astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom. Only then can you be a hero."

Liu Bei asked: "Listen to the prime minister's words, which one counts?"

Cao Cao replied: "Looking at the heroes in the world, only the emperor and Cao Er!"

As soon as this part of the Beijing opera recitation came out, the audience immediately showed a surprised expression.

When the Peking Opera chanting is over, the music begins to become magnificent.

The tuba and French horn were played, and there was a mighty sound of bouncing and bouncing.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Chaonan raised the microphone and began to sing:
"Rolling Yangtze River east passing water
"The waves kill the heroes

"Success or failure turns empty
"The green hills are still there
"How many times the sunset is red..."

As soon as the main song came out, the thick and powerful voice filled the entire studio.

The audience at the scene widened their eyes at the same time, feeling the majestic and mighty power in the singing, as if they were among millions of heroes, facing an epic battle.

The singing is accompanied by the accompaniment of the symphony orchestra, as well as the cooperation of guzheng, gongs and drums, and the singing echoes in the ears of every audience.

For most audiences, it is generally felt that treble is powerful.

However, the moment Chen Chaonan sang "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water", they felt the charm of baritone.

That thick voice, like the buzzing of evening drums and morning bells, sang the ancient simplicity and vicissitudes in the historical picture scroll.

Many audiences at the scene shook their heads involuntarily in admiration, feeling this artistic audio-visual feast for the first time.

After Chen Chaonan finished singing the main song for the first time.

Fang Xing heard the melody and continued to sing:
"White-haired fisherman and woodcutter on Jiangzhu
"Used to look at the autumn moon and spring breeze

"A pot of turbid wine rejoices

"How many things
"It's all a joke..."

It is usually a full-bodied voice, and the chest resonance is used to the extreme, as if the singing voice is echoing in the chest, forming layers of resonance.

The effect of Fang Xing's singing is slightly different from that of Chen Chaonan.

They are also profound in skill, but let the audience hear a different flavor.

The audience involuntarily had an idea in their hearts that songs do not have to be high-pitched to be good, and the beauty of the thick baritone is not comparable to the thin high-pitched.
