Chapter 366 The Perfect Combination of Coloratura and Baritone "In the Fog"

After Shen Jianjia and Hao Shaohua got the demo of the song, they started practicing the song.

Both of them graduated from the Conservatory of Music, so they are making very fast progress in singing.

Basically, I can practice together on the second day, reach the performance level in three days, and pursue the ultimate song in the next few days.

Besides this group, Fang Xing also chose songs for the other seven groups.

Among them, three groups sang "The Wind Rises", "My Dream" and "Fireworks Are Cold", and the rest sang songs by other singers.

There were a few songs suggested by the students. After Fang Xing listened to them, he thought they were suitable and asked them to sing them.

Since Fang Xing's group of students was the first group to undergo the instructor assessment, the time was very tight.

After less than a week of practice, I started recording.

The tight schedule is also a test for the students.

……

When the program has reached the instructor assessment stage, there is no need for separate rehearsals for instructors and students.

Therefore, on the morning of the recording, Fang Xing watched the rehearsal of the eight groups of students in the audience, and also guided several groups during the recording.

Among these students, several were from non-major classes and had never learned vocal music, so if you tell them how to sing, they may not be able to sing.

Music audition is like this. Vocal foundation, talent, and effort are different. How far each person can go depends on their own ability. Fang Xing can only try his best to help them show their own advantages.

Some are mediocre, and some are brilliant.

Fang Xing almost put together the two players with the best vocal skills in the team.

As expected, Shen Jianjia and Hao Shaohua performed very well during the rehearsal.

Fang Xing just made some suggestions on a few paragraphs: "Before the coloratura comes out, the accompaniment stops for four beats, then restarts, and the coloratura bursts out together, detonating the scene."

A live performance is different from a recording studio. Some arrangements would be strange in a recording studio, but in a live performance, the effect will be very explosive.

The music stops suddenly, and then resumes with a more turbulent momentum, which is a more commonly used arrangement.

……

After the rehearsal was over, it was already past five in the afternoon.

The program group took a two-hour break for lunch and started recording.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Tong Fei took the walkie-talkie and announced that the recording had officially started.

All instructors and guests are seated.

The host Qiao Youhua came to the stage, first gave an opening speech, then broadcast the title sponsor's advertisement, and finally invited the first group of students.

The recording time for the tutor assessment is very tight, because this period is 16 into 4 in the group.

First, they are in pairs and sing a song together.

Go and stay, there are eight people left.

Then, eight people will fight in pairs to decide the semifinals.

In other words, 16 songs will be recorded tonight, with a lot of content and a tight schedule.

The host's interlude speeches were also as concise as possible. After the title sponsor was announced, the first group of students, Shen Jianjia and Hao Shaohua, were immediately invited.

Shen Jianjia and Hao Shaohua walked through the aisle backstage, picked up the microphone, and stepped onto the stage.

When they were ready, the two gave thumbs up in the direction of the band, indicating that they were ready.

The prelude sounded.

Hao Shaohua slowly raised the microphone and performed the first line of the verse:
"I'm used to being buried deep in the fog
"Self-competition

"Lost Forest Island

"I like to be buried in the fog
"Don't be mentioned

"Wake up after dark..."

The song is called "In the Fog", and it was written, composed and sung by Yao Liuyi.

The singer is very young and his works are very characteristic.

However, in terms of singing, it is far from reaching the pinnacle.

There are many master singers who have sung this song, so the most amazing version is not the original version.

Among them, Sa Dingding sang this song in "Praise for the Song".

In addition, Mohong, Huang Xiaoyun, and Wang Xi collaborated on this song on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

The version of the Internet Spring Festival Gala cooperation is also the version in which the coloratura soprano is fully displayed.

Mo Hong is a soprano singer of the national team and a national first-class actor, mainly active on the opera stage.

The lyrics of the original version of "In the Fog" are not suitable for singing on the stage of TV and evening parties, so the versions of Mohong, Huang Xiaoyun and Wang Xi have changed the lyrics a lot.

The revised lyrics, combined with solid singing, present an ancient rhyme, vastness and profound artistic conception.

Fang Xing wanted to show Shen Jianjia's coloratura and Hao Shaohua's alto voice, so he chose the version of Mo Hong, Huang Xiaoyun, and Wang Xi, and changed it to a chorus of two people.

When Hao Shaohua sang the line with his thick voice and chest resonance: "Where you lean on the railing, there are thousands of mountains and thousands of miles..."

Chen Chaonan, Huang Anhua and Qi Xiuna in the instructor's seat couldn't help applauding softly.

After the main song was sung, the music resumed, and the coloratura came on stage: "Ahaha...Ahaha..."

Immediately, the level of this song was pushed to a higher level.

Qi Xiuna couldn't help giving Fang Xing a thumbs up, expressing her appreciation for this song.

At the time of blind selection.

Qi Xiuna wanted Shen Jianjia very much. After being popular in the music scene for so many years, she could tell that Shen Jianjia's vocal skills were definitely among the top five, even the top three among so many students.

If she chooses the right song, she will show her timbre advantage, and she may even hope to compete for the championship.

When Qi Xiuna robbed Shen Jianjia, it can be said that she exhausted all means.

However, now that she heard Shen Jianjia and Hao Shaohua's collaboration song, she had to admit that this song was tailor-made for Huaatura.

If Shen Jianjia chose to join her group at the beginning, she would not have the confidence to choose a song that is more brilliant than this song.

Moreover, this song also sang a little majestic artistic conception, even if it is put on a national stage like the Spring Festival Gala, it can completely match it.

Chen Chaonan usually applauded silently.

During the blind selection, he ended up giving up stealing people.

At that time, the last thing he said was: "Fang Xing is one of the singers who perfectly integrated academic singing and pop music in the domestic music scene. If you want to sing pop music, go to Fang Xing's group. If you want to sing academic singing , come to me."

This sentence is actually equivalent to canvassing for Fang Xing.

It's not that he doesn't want Shen Jianjia, but as a professor of the Conservatory of Music, he hopes that the students can go to the most suitable position.

Shen Jianjia said at the time that she liked pop music, and finally chose to join Fang Xing's team.

Now, this coloratura version of "In the Fog" proves that her choice at that time was correct.

Even this song, even if it was sung to Qi Xiuna, she would not dare to sing it.

It's not because her vocal range can't support it, but because she doesn't sing coloratura. If you want to sing this song, you have to change the coloratura part.

The strength of this song on the stage of "The Voice of China" is that even the instructor dare not sing it lightly.

As soon as the coloratura came out, the stage effect instantly soared to the extreme.

It was as if a nightingale was singing above the stage, with a melodious and loud voice, echoing in the ears of every audience and guest at the scene.

……

After the song was sung, the host Qiao Youhua returned to the stage excitedly and began to ask interactive questions:
"Four mentors, after listening to the song sung by the two students, do you have anything to say?"

Chen Chaonan took the lead to take over the topic, and commented: "The two students are very good, and Fang Xing really needs to be praised for making songs.

"This song seems to be tailor-made for the two of you, with coloratura and baritone, the effect is beyond my expectations.

"Hao Shaohua, I turned around for you during the blind selection, do you remember?"

Hao Shaohua quickly nodded and replied: "I remember, thank you for your approval."

Chen Chaonan went on to say: "At that time, I thought you were more suitable to come to me. Although Fang Xing's alto register is also very thick, but in fact he is not a baritone. I thought he would not be of much help to you.

"However, hearing this song today, I think your choice is right. Fang Xing really understands pop music very well, and can switch between pop music and academic school with ease.

"The opening of this song tonight was amazing.

"However, after singing, there is a very difficult decision.

"According to the rules, only one of you two can advance.

"It's up to Fang Xing to choose now."

Qi Xiuna glanced at Fang Xing's expression, and gloated, "I've already seen the pain mask on Fang Xing's face."

Fang Xing complained speechlessly: "You even know Internet memes like pain masks."

Qi Xiuna was immediately unconvinced: "I also surf the Internet, okay?"

Qiao Youhua quickly brought the topic back to the main topic: "Then, Ph.D supervisor, does Fang Xing have any suggestions?"

Chen Chaonan said with a smile: "It's really hard to choose, if I were, I probably wouldn't put the two of them in the same group.

"Because they are all very strong, it will be uncomfortable to eliminate anyone.

"However, having said that, it is also because the two students are very strong that the effect of cooperation is so good.

"As for Fang Xing's choice, let him have a headache."

Qiao Youhua reminded: "PhD supervisor, give me a suggestion. When your group is assessed, other supervisors will also give suggestions."

Chen Chaonan suddenly felt troubled, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Hao Shaohua, your baritone expressiveness is indeed very good, but I am also a baritone, so I am more picky in this field.

"From my personal point of view, you still have room for improvement, so my suggestion is Shen Jianjia."

Shen Jianjia and Hao Shaohua bowed together to thank Chen Chaonan for his comment.

This kind of problem will indeed arise when the two powers cooperate.

Chen Chaonan is just giving advice, it won't affect the final result, it's all so difficult.

Afterwards, Qi Xiuna and Huang Anhua also gave suggestions one after another, one chose Shen Jianjia, and the other chose Hao Shaohua.

In the end, it was Fang Xing's turn to make a decision.

The choice of other mentors is just to give suggestions, and who will stay in the end depends only on the decision of Fang Xing, the mentor.

Fang Xing thought for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "Actually, according to the rules in the group, tonight 16 goes into 8, then 8 goes into 4, and there will be a final assessment later, 4 goes into 1.

"That is to say, in the end, a champion in the group will be determined, and this champion in the group will represent our team in the battle and compete with the champions of other groups for the championship of the finals.

"Actually, the goal of our internal assessment is to select a student to represent our team.

"If we win in the end, it will be the honor of our entire team, not just one individual."

At this moment.

Hao Shaohua raised his hand, and when the host handed him the microphone, he tried his best to stabilize his mood and said, "Actually, I am very satisfied to be able to sing a song produced by Fang Xing's mentor.

"We understood the rules from the beginning, just like Fang Xing said, the goal of me and Shen Jianjia is not to compete, but to cooperate to sing a wonderful song.

"As for who will represent our team in the final battle, our entire group of students will fully support him and strive for honor for our team."

After Hao Shaohua finished speaking, the host returned the topic to Fang Xing, and said loudly, "Now we have to make the final decision, Teacher Fang Xing, what is your final choice?"

Fang Xing pondered for three seconds before saying: "Hao Shaohua, after you go down, keep in touch with us in our team group, and we will have a chance to cooperate in the future."

"So the one who got promoted is..." the host answered, mobilizing the atmosphere of the scene.

"Shen Jianjia." Fang Xing made the final decision.

"Congratulations Shen Jianjia, advanced to the next round. I also thank Hao Shaohua for presenting us a wonderful song. After leaving the stage of good voice, we must continue to sing." The host made the final summary.

After both of them finished their final speeches.

Shen Jianjia went backstage to prepare for the second round of singing.

Fang Xing walked up, put his arms around Hao Shaohua's shoulders, and sent him away: "The peak night of the finals, we still have an encore performance, don't be sad."

Hao Shaohua's mentality was very stable, and he kept smiling all the time: "I'm not sad, I'm satisfied if I can sing a song from my mentor."

in fact.

He is older than Fang Xing, already 30 years old.

After graduating from the Conservatory of Music, he has been doing music work, but he has never been seen by the public.

One of the important reasons is that he is a baritone.

Baritone voices are not very popular in the pop music scene.

For most audiences, the soaring high pitch is powerful.

Hao Shaohua's baritone voice is very powerful in the eyes of professionals, but it is nothing amazing in the eyes of the general public.

In pop music, the golden range for male singers is four groups of high notes.

Most of the popular songs are in the four groups of registers.

As a result, most popular songs are not suitable for him to sing.

He has been around for so many years, but he is not well-known.

He is also from a professional background, and he doesn't want to participate in that kind of trainee draft as cannon fodder.

So I never had the chance to be on the big stage.

In fact.

When "The Voice of China" first started auditioning, he wasn't very interested.

Now domestic TV stations broadcast more than a dozen music variety shows every year, some popular and some popular.

Popular music variety shows invite big names, not 180-line singers like him.

It's a music variety show that flutters, and it doesn't make any waves when it's on.

He also participated in several unpopular music shows before, but in the end he was cut so that he didn't even have a complete song.

Moreover, these vulgar music variety shows are very unfriendly to a baritone like him.

Because these vulgar music variety shows only want the contestants to soar high to please the audience. As for the professionalism of the music, that doesn't matter.

Until "The Voice of China" announced that the last tutor was the doctoral tutor of Donghai Conservatory of Music and the national baritone singer Chen Chaonan, Hao Shaohua was finally tempted and immediately decided to sign up.

He joined the show because of Chen Chaonan, but he didn't have to be in Chen Chaonan's group.

Because he has graduated for many years and does not plan to go back to school for further studies.

He knew very well that his real way out was to find the possibility of baritone in pop music.

Therefore, the correct answer for him to participate in this program was actually Fang Xing.

Although he only sang one song other than the blind selection, it was already a success for him.

He now hopes that this episode of the program will be aired soon so that the audience can hear this song soon.
