Chapter 50: Practicing Songs
Remember the score well and memorize the lyrics.
Chen Lixing asked Su Hetai to sing a cappella first, and everyone sat next to him as judges.
Su Hetai was not nervous, and he was old and was in a state of relaxation and immediately started singing.
His singing skills are indeed nothing to say. Although he is old, he is well maintained, has a wide range and is quite penetrating.
When Fei Hua and the others heard this, they understood the trick.
The tune style of this song "Borrowing Five Hundred Years from the Sky" is indeed suitable for Su Hetai to perform. If Chen Lixing was asked to sing it, that wouldn't be the case.
Choose songs, and choose songs.
No wonder Chen Lixing called out and asked Su Hetai to sing.
After singing it once, Chen Lixing asked: "What do you think after you have heard it? Say it all."
Fei Hua said first: "Lao Tai may be a little anxious when he sang for the first time, so he sang faster."
Chen Lixing nodded: "Yes, although this song has the meaning of conquest, it also contains deep emotions and cannot be sung too quickly."
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ziruo and others also put forward opinions.
Su Hetai listened carefully and thought about it.
Chen Lixing asked everyone to comment together, which was nothing more than increasing the interaction between the teams, sharing their inner thoughts, and rehearsing the ensemble at that time can achieve a better coordination effect.
After saying that, Chen Lixing asked Su Hetai to continue the second a cappella, and then the third...
Su Hetai has a strong ability to accept comments and correct them quickly. After singing them a few times, Feihua and the others can no longer point out any problems.
There are also some who insist on pointing out, but that is nitpicking.
Everyone looked at Chen Lixing because so far, he had not commented.
Chen Lixing pondered for a moment: "Lao Tai, as I said at the beginning, the core of this song is an imperial sentiment and momentum. There is no problem with your singing skills, but you are still a little short of understanding of the emotions in the song."
Su Hetai touched his beard a little embarrassedly: "Brother Xing, but I am just an ordinary down-and-out man, how can I sing the emperor's spirit?"
Chen Lixing smiled and said, "You are wrong. Singing is actually the same as acting. As long as you figure out the role and put it in, you can invest in related emotions and perform it. Have you ever filmed a movie?"
"I've been to the supporting role a few times, but I've basically just shown my face and I've got a lunch box, and I can't even get a line."
In the entertainment circle, if you sing and perform well, you will perform well. If you perform well, you will sing, and the two are not separated.
Top stars take all, and bottom-level artists have similar ways. As long as you have the opportunity, you will try to do work in various fields.
Many times, in order to make a living, it is necessary to do it.
For example, some rock bands with cynical acting styles have to participate in some funny variety shows with smiles under the arrangement of their agency...
It doesn't match at all.
Of course, it is already quite good to be on show and perform commercial performances.
The bottom one is like Su Hetai who plays a supporting role, becomes an extra, and earns a box lunch.
Not long ago, Fei Hua meant to let Chen Lixing go and run.
Back to the point, Chen Lixing said to Su Hetai: "It's good that you have acted. Now you sing, just think that you want to play the emperor. The lyrics are lines. Think carefully about the words and sentences in them, and then sing them out."
Su Hetai understood it, sat down with the lyrics, and looked at it very seriously.
Chen Lixing discussed accompaniment and harmony with the band members.
Due to objective and subjective conditions, it is impossible to perfectly copy the original version, but 80% or 90% is enough.
In this song, the lead singer's vocal is the soul. Once it is sung, the song will be done.
I continued to work until around 9 o'clock in the evening before I started my first formal rehearsal.
The rehearsals were till 10 o'clock, and the main problem has not been solved.
Su Hetai's "imperial spirit" has never been in place, and the songs he sang are more vicissitudes and lacks domineeringness.
"Okay, it's not too late, so let's stop here today and continue tomorrow."
Chen Lixing clapped his hands and said.
Zhao Ziruo and others dispersed first.
Su Hetai was a little anxious if he couldn't sing the ideal effect. He was a singer who knew the song and understood the meaning of the song "Borrowing Five Hundred Years from the Sky" to him. If he could be selected by the crew of "Qingkang" and become the theme song in the end, his life would turn a big comeback.
He walked along the way, singing all the way, singing for thirty or forty years, just waiting for such an opportunity!
Now, the opportunity has come, but if you can't catch it, Su Hetai will never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
"Lao Tai, it's the first day, don't worry. You've sang many times today, go back and have a good rest. You can think about it before going to bed. Or if you have time, find some imperial dramas to see and understand."
Chen Lixing comforted him.
"good."
Su Hetai agreed and ran out.
Feihua and his wife dragged it to the end, Feihua sighed: "Brother Xing, I have to admire your vision. Lao Tai is quite talented when singing."
Chen Lixing smiled and said, "Are you praising me or Lao Tai?"
"Lao Tai is worthy of praise, but if you don't give him a song or a chance, he probably still stays in the prairie and sings folk songs against the night sky."
Produced by Feihua, lick it every day.
However, his wife Zhou Yan was used to it. When she heard it, she thought her husband was too humble and a little sad. But now she found that it was not the case at all.
This is a manifestation of a kind of intimacy.
In terms of human communication, Feihua's abilities are fully demonstrated.
Chen Lixing said: "I hope Lao Tai can find the feeling as soon as possible and record the song. After all, handing it over earlier will have a greater chance."
This time, it was the first time that Tornado Studio has actively sought out business projects since its establishment. It is quite critical and equals to its pioneering nature.
If you can take it down, you can open up the situation.
Feihua said: "Brother Xing, the song you wrote is so good, it is so tailor-made. As long as Lao Tai sings it well, there will be no problem."
He hesitated for a moment and couldn't help asking: "If Lao Tai's song is done, what will be the next arrangement?"
Chen Lixing said: "I said it before. I originally prepared a song for him, a song that is more appropriate to him."
"That must be a good song!"
Feihua presented the rainbow fart at the right time, but he did not ask much about what song it was. It was very risky to rashly promote singles with Su Hetai's amateur status and age. No matter how good the song is, it is difficult to become popular.
But if Su Hetai wins the theme song of "The Great Emperor Qingkang", as the film and drama is broadcast, it will inevitably harvest a lot of fame and traffic, and it will be another matter if new songs are released at that time.
After leaving the alley, Feihua and his wife sat on the bus home from night. Looking at the bustling streets with bright lights outside the window, Zhou Yan suddenly said, "Brother Xing is so nice to Lao Tai!"
It's really good. Not only did the song "Borrowing Five Hundred Years from Heaven", but also carefully prepared a mysterious new song...
What kind of treatment is this?
Fei Hua quipped: "Wife, why don't I ask Brother Xing to see if I can write one for you?"
Zhou Yan hurriedly said, "What are you talking about? I am a keyboardist, not a singer."
Having said that, the envy in his tone could not be concealed.
Who doesn’t want to be praised and become a celebrity after singing?
Just think about it, you have to be clear and sensible.
