Chapter 1003 This song must be sung well in two chapters
Chapter 1003 This song must be sung well (two-in-one chapter)
Before the performance starts in April, it is unlikely to change the cast, and Yang Qian is also leaning toward Katherine playing Elsa.
The reason is very simple. The inspiration for Yang Qian to do this stage play came from Catherine. Moreover, Yang Qian felt that Catherine's magic performance was very, very high!
Although this is her old profession, and her performance is understandable, Yang Qian does not think that she will be able to find another person who can also perform well in magic performances in conjunction with special effects to replace Catherine in a short time.
Ouyang Xiaoqing is even worse. The only place where she shines is in her singing. In terms of acting, she has only studied for more than a year, and no matter how much she has received guidance from famous teachers, it cannot change the shortcomings of her young acting skills and lack of experience.
Not to mention playing Elsa, which requires a lot of rich emotional changes, Ouyang Xiaoqing's performance as Anna was a bit weak! Anna in childhood and adolescence was okay and relatively innocent, but Ouyang Xiaoqing was very likable when she was more naughty.
But in later adulthood, in addition to being kind and simple, Anna also had some bravery, persistence, and other slightly complex characters. Ouyang Xiaoqing was unable to perform these.
Therefore, if actors are replaced on the grounds of pursuing a flawless performance, isn't Ouyang Xiaoqing the one who needs to be replaced?
Ouyang Xiaoqing and Catherine, in this children's musical, both have their own strengths and weaknesses.
What Yang Qian wants is that they can achieve breakthroughs through continuous adjustments in the next month, so that they can give the audience a better live experience in formal performances!
Of course, that doesn’t mean that Mr. Jin Furong’s opinions will not be taken into consideration, except that he selfishly wants Ouyang Xiaoqing to play the role of Elsa more brilliantly (in fact, both Anna and Elsa have a lot of scenes, and they belong to
They are two heroines who are equally matched, but Elsa's magic may be more outstanding), and Catherine's singing is indeed a big problem.
In one month, can her poor singing situation be reversed?
Yang Qian felt unsure.
Because Catherine is not a young person with stronger learning ability, many of her abilities have reached their own bottlenecks. If she can improve her singing skills, she may not leave Broadway and try to find her own path.
Coupled with the lack of high-pitched talent, Catherine's singing of "Let it go" will indeed become a major regret of this performance.
"Let it go" is definitely the most important part of "Frozen"!
On earth, many viewers, especially younger viewers, may have grown up from kindergarten children to junior high school or high school seniors after many years, and their memories of the movie are also blurred, but after hearing "Let it go"
"You can definitely sing along with the melody!"
This song should not appear on stage at this level!
"Is this possible? Catherine will still play Elsa, but we will find someone to dub her?"
Wu Lan had already coaxed the child and asked her husband Dong Wenlei to push it out for a walk. She came back and listened to their argument and gave a rather constructive suggestion.
"Wouldn't it be better to hire someone to dub this musical? Lao Jin, I remember that your musicals require live speaking and singing?"
Yu Haisong thinks such changes are not good.
"Yes, musicals require live performances. Everything you see and hear, except for the sound effects, is presented by live actors. Otherwise, how can I say it is difficult? Every performance is difficult.
A replica of a work of art!”
When Jin Furong spoke, a kind of pride that was difficult for others to understand was reflected in him.
"I think this is not a problem that is difficult to solve! There are only a few performances in the United States, and we can't coordinate them, so we can just perform a few shows. But when we return to our country, if it is also a national tour,
Then we can re-select people, we don’t need foreigners, we also have many domestic musical actors who can sing and act well, right?"
Lei Zhentian said carelessly.
His words were echoed by many, and there was an endless stream of voices of approval.
"Yes, our Beijing Dance Theater has trained many outstanding musical theater actors over the years. Some of them have gone to Heinis Theater Company, some to Beijing Theater Company, and some have gone abroad."
Yu Haisong certainly hopes that students trained by Jingwu will have more opportunities.
"If you want to select people, you should choose from across the country and admit the best."
Jin Furong was much more open-minded here. He didn't think about giving them all the opportunities. He was more willing to see musical talents bloom everywhere.
"Yes, Mr. Lei also mentioned just now that the aesthetics of our people are still different from those of foreigners. Foreigners can accept actresses who may not have that outstanding image to play the protagonist, but our domestic audiences may not see it that way. Still.
You have to choose a good actor, both strength and appearance need to be taken into consideration.”
Wu Lan smiled.
Her central coordination still had a good effect.
Jin Furong listened to what she said, hesitated for a moment, and nodded gently to express his approval.
Mr. Jin is more influenced by foreign influences. When he teaches students, he only looks at their acting and singing skills. Even if the students are not so outstanding, as long as they are talented, Mr. Jin is still willing to recruit and train them.
But Mr. Jin is also very aware of the domestic reality. After his students go out, a considerable number of them cannot become the chief, or cannot be as good as they originally were, even though their abilities are no worse than others because of their poor appearance.
A competent protagonist.
Many of these students gradually changed careers or moved behind the scenes, and not many stayed on the stage and were willing to play supporting roles or even clowns.
Jin Furong thinks that they are all very good, especially those who stayed and never got a chance. They are even better actors who are hidden away from the spotlight! Jin Furong often invites them back to school to give performances to his junior brothers and sisters.
class.
But the market is still very realistic. Emotional teachers cannot help the troupe make money. Jin Furong can only admit that if the play "Frozen" is to be performed in China, the protagonist really needs to choose a good-looking actor.
Just when they began to discuss in a somewhat off-topic manner which female musical actors in China could sing well, act well, and have a good image, Yang Qian asked Jin Furong:
"Professor Jin, can we replace the song "Let it go" in the section of the Ice and Snow Palace with pre-recorded sound effects? Pretend that this song is not sung by Elsa, but the intense emotion in her heart.
Psychological activities. We added Elsa's dance moves, and then added this song as BGM in the background. Of course, they still sang the other songs live, especially Xiaoqing. Her request was to sing live, and she had to sing
Get better!"
Yang Qian thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.
In overseas performances, Catherine continued to play Elsa, and other parts of the dialogue were no problem for Catherine. The only song she sang solo was "Let it go", which she had to pick out, have someone else sing it, and then use the background music.
presented in a way.
There seems to be nothing wrong with doing this!
What impressed the American audience the most about Catherine was her stage performance that combined pole dancing with video special effects. All previous performances also used BGM.
Therefore, in this performance hosted by "America's Got Talent", she once again performed a special effects performance to bring out the tension of the dance. Under such circumstances, it seems very reasonable to leave the singing of the song to the soundtrack!
"Yang Qian, do you mean that this song should be left to Xiaoqing to record in advance?"
Jin Furong pondered.
Based on the ideas provided by Yang Qian, he imagined the audience experience at the musical performance, and he didn't find it difficult to accept it.
It seems like this is indeed a good idea.
"It's not good to let Xiaoqing record it. When the audience hears it, isn't it still Anna's singing? They can tell it when they hear the voice, and the audience is shocked. So I think we still have to find someone else. Our company
There is also a girl named Zhang Shanshan, who can also control a very high vocal range. And compared to Xiaoqing, her voice is slightly thicker, which may be closer to Catherine's timbre."
Yang Qian introduced with a smile.
"Yes, we can let Shanshan give it a try. But it's a pity that she sings very well, but has never learned acting. Otherwise, it would be good for Aisha from China to act."
Wu Lan's eyes lit up and she smiled in surprise.
They are all singers of their own family, and Wu Lan must also be thinking that her wealth will not go to outsiders.
Yang Qian is not so selfish. He still wants to better shape the song "Let it go".
A female singer who can control high notes must have a voice that is deep enough to go down, and at the same time, bright and powerful when it goes up!
The first thing that came to Yang Qian's mind was Zhang Shanshan!
This is the characteristic of Zhang Shanshan. Her voice is not as sweet as Ouyang Xiaoqing's, nor as sharp as Ouyang Xiaoqing's, but in terms of strength, depth, and slightly rough voice, Zhang Shanshan is definitely better!
Of course, Zhang Shanshan's voice is her own, and everyone has different characteristics. Yang Qian is not sure whether the difference in timbre between her and Catherine will be too obvious after dubbing - if so, the audience may still think it's a joke
.
But if the difference is not too big, it can still be replaced. After all, the audience may not be familiar with Catherine's singing state.
"We can let her give it a try. It's really unrealistic to change actors now. We can only tinker with the existing framework and strive to be the best."
Jin Furong is very senior, so even though he is not the director or the main creator, there is no sense of violation for him to make such a concluding speech.
Yang Qian and the others all nodded.
"Yang Qian, actually there is another question. Shanshan's English level may not be that good. Will it be difficult for her to sing English songs?"
Wu Lan suddenly remembered this problem, but she did not raise it with Yang Qian on the spot. When Ouyang Xiaoqing, Catherine and other actors changed clothes and came out, and everyone gathered around them to communicate, she saw Yang Qian go to hug Yang Xiaozhao and walk out
Once within the scope of the crowd, he followed him over and started talking to Yang Qian.
Zhang Shanshan and Ouyang Xiaoqing are both outstanding students in music but have poor academic performance.
But because Ouyang Xiaoqing grew up in the city, and her family had enough money to provide her with tutoring, even if Ouyang Xiaoqing's grades were poor, she still had a certain foundation in English, especially spoken English, and she would later go abroad.
Before and after I went abroad, I went through specialized English tutoring and high-intensity assault training, and only then did I reach a level that is now comparable to that of foreigners.
Zhang Shanshan grew up in a rural area, and the English education in Jincheng obviously lacks good teachers, so her foundation is very poor, and even her pronunciation is not standard. How can she sing English songs well at this level?
Even if you study unexpectedly, it’s still a little too late, right?
"Yes, this is indeed a big problem. Let's try it first. Let's hire a special English teacher for her to study unexpectedly. Time is tight, so first learn the pronunciation of the words and sentences of this song and practice it well.
Let’s see if it works.”
After listening to Wu Lan's words, Yang Qian found that he was too optimistic and couldn't help but said with a wry smile.
"I think we can work with both hands. On the one hand, we can give Shanshan a chance to learn and see if she can grasp it; on the other hand, we can also see if others can do it. Like Haiyan, isn't she also good at high notes? She also
You can come and give it a try. And one advantage she has over Shanshan is that she has good grades and good English. If she comes to learn, she should learn faster than Shanshan."
Wu Lan is more optimistic about Zhou Haiyan. Although Zhou Haiyan is still in junior high school in Jincheng, this child is smart and well-behaved!
With good grades and strong abilities, aren’t these students the role models that adults like?
Yang Qian obviously hesitated.
"Haiyan, isn't Haiyan going to take the high school entrance examination this year?"
Yang Qian asked.
"Haiyan is in the same situation as Luoluo, right? I remember Sister Wu said before that she had been admitted to Bowen School of Jincheng Middle School in advance."
Dai Yuni smiled.
It's true. Zhou Haiyan's grades are very good. She used to rank first in the class. Even though she learned music, which distracted her some energy, she still maintained a good learning attitude and was always the best in her grade.
Stay in the top ten.
It can be said that she can definitely be promoted to Jincheng Middle School in high school. That is the real key high school, Jincheng's ace middle school!
But Zhou Haiyan still chose to stay at Jincheng Middle School Bowen School. The reason is very simple. She wants to continue to receive extracurricular music education. Jincheng Middle School does not have the music education resources like Jincheng Middle School Bowen School - after all, Qianyu Media has reached an agreement with the latter.
We have established a long-term public welfare partnership and provided one-on-one assistance.
Zhou Haiyan also wanted to continue singing and performing with Tang Zhenliang, Tian Dahe, and the band and choir friends, so she was willing to stay and continue her high school education at Jincheng Middle School Bowen School.
Naturally, with her grades, it was easy to take the early admission test for Jincheng Middle School Bowen School, and she was admitted in advance.
"You can let her try."
Yang Qian nodded, but his expression was not very happy.
In his heart, he still prefers Shanshan to sing, because her voice characteristics are more suitable for the song "Let it go".
Zhou Haiyan's voice is sweet and clear, which is more suitable for singing folk songs or sweet pop songs. Her sense of power is not as powerful as Ouyang Xiaoqing!
