Chapter 301 Those Worrying Teachers (1/4 Monthly Ticket)
"Yang Qian is not in Yangcheng? Where has he gone?"
When Yang Qian was teaching music and dreams to the children in Jincheng, he didn't know that Chai Jiang, his mentor in "The Voice of Chinese", had come to Yangcheng.
Although the main reason for coming to Yangcheng was that Chai Jiang wanted to attend a music performance by one of his old foreign friends, the famous soprano Kenny Wadener, at the Xianhai Concert Hall in Yangcheng, Li Xingmin happened to be also in Yangcheng, so Chai Jiang
Got together with him.
Originally, Chai Jiang thought that Yang Qian would also be called out by Li Xingmin to discuss the arrangements for next month's competition.
Who knew that Yang Qian was not in Yangcheng!
Why aren't you in Yangcheng?
Chai Jiang actually didn't communicate much with Yang Qian. The two of them were more or less able to avoid suspicion because of the "Chinese Voice" incident.
But Chai Jiang knew that Yang Qian was taking classes at Xianhai Conservatory of Music, and Li Xingmin told him.
"He went to Shanghai a few days ago. His girlfriend has a big exam. She asked me for a week's leave. I plan to take her on a trip after the exam to have some fun. You're a young man!"
Li Xingmin said to Chai Jiang with a smile.
He will definitely not fail to approve the fake work for his precious apprentice. Music creation requires inspiration. Staying at home and nesting in Yangcheng every day is just complacency.
And Li Xingmin feels that for Yang Qian, love is the best source of inspiration (of course, it must be moral love, Xiaohan's dog head saves his life).
I haven’t seen that after this guy fell in love, the inspiration for creation couldn’t be said to be a spring. It was like a dam bursting, gushing out!
"Has he prepared all the songs he will sing in "The Voice of Chinese"?"
Chai Jiang didn't know the situation or how seriously Yang Qian usually studied, so he asked a little uneasily.
"I have prepared several songs... Hey, that's not right, Chai Jiang, you are not in a good state today. I said before that I would send it to you for review, but you said it's okay, don't rush to read it, and we'll talk about it later when we go on stage. At that time, I was calm and collected.
Xian, why do you seem a little worried today?"
Li Xingmin saw the problem.
"Well, I'm worried that there will be changes in Yang Qian's championship."
Chai Jiang leaned over and spoke to Li Xingmin in a deep voice.
"Variable? How to say?"
"This year's 10th anniversary of "The Voice", isn't it necessary to play the emotional card and gather four mentors from the first season, including me?"
"Yes, isn't it already official?"
"Actually, we didn't gather enough four people, and Xing Baisheng didn't agree to come. Now he is cooperating with Jinke in publicity, but he will be replaced by Gu Yuyong next month."
As Chai Jiang spoke, he used his fingers to write and draw on the table.
"Gu Yuyong? Doesn't he sing military songs or operas? How come he is on this show?"
Li Xingmin was surprised.
Of course he knows Gu Yuyong, who is not a singer in the strict sense of the word!
Of course, there is no doubt about Gu Yuyong's ability. He is a tenor who mainly sings operas. Because he was formerly in a military opera troupe, he was frequently invited to the Spring Festival Gala stage in the early years to sing with some military singers.
Main theme song.
In terms of singing ability, Gu Yuyong is better than Chai Jiang. Of course, in terms of musical achievements, the two are on par. It’s just that Gu Yuyong’s achievements are in opera and he rarely makes an appearance in the pop music world. Of course, he
I don't want to hang out with pop singers either.
But this time, how did he put down his dignity and be invited by Jinke to be a tutor on "The Voice of Chinese"?
As a mentor, what can he bring to the students?
Tenor singing, or teaching students how to sing opera?
"I'm not sure about this, but the competition among students should be fierce this year. As far as I know, there are some music academies where students who are currently singing very well have accepted invitations to the program because of Gu Yuyong's relationship. Then
At the level of originality, some young original musicians who have in-depth cooperation with several music platforms will be invited to participate this year, and some of them are as famous as Yang Qian..."
Chai Jiang actually doesn't care much about the latter, because if it's more original, Chai Jiang has never seen any newcomer who can be better than Yang Qian, and he may not be able to find him in decades to come.
But the problem is, "Good Chinese Voice" is not "Good Original Chinese Voice" after all!
"You know all this?"
Li Guangmin has also experienced so many ups and downs in the Chinese music scene. With his seniority, he may not be able to keep up with the current trend of short video music, but when it comes to some twists and turns in the industry, he can understand it at a glance.
come out.
There is a problem!
"Jin Ke revealed it."
After listening to Chai Jiang's words, Li Guangmin showed a clear expression.
Sure enough, it was Jin Ke. He definitely didn't do this out of good intentions...
Chai Jiang is not stupid, of course he knows the problem here.
"Jin Ke has one goal this year, to make "The Voice of Chinese" a success. Yang Qian fought hard all the way to win the championship. This kind of show without suspense cannot achieve good ratings, so he found Yang Qian, and he will definitely win the championship.
We will find him a capable opponent."
"No one else can compare to him in terms of originality, but there are quite a few students from these music conservatories who can sing well, and now there is a variable like Gu Yuyong."
Chai Jiang's worry still lies in Yang Qian's singing.
After all, Yang Qian's inability to hit high notes is a flaw in Yang Qian's physical function. And now that he is in his twenties, it is too late to practice his voice.
But on a stage like "Chinese Voice", or almost every music competition stage, high notes are king!
Gu Yuyong knows high notes very well, and he sings better on high notes than Chai Jiang.
Of course, that doesn't mean it's completely impossible. With clever song selection, carefully prepared battle strategies, and utilizing strengths and avoiding weaknesses, you can still beat the opponent's high-pitched singer.
After all, this is just "Chinese Voice". The singers who come on board are not experienced veteran singers, but newcomers with great high notes. They may also have inaccurate emotional expressions, poor bass tone, or even nervousness in their performance on the spot.
Various problems.
Similarly, in addition to the problem of high pitch, Yang Qian may also have other problems, which require preparation in advance.
"After listening to the songs he prepared, I thought they were quite good, and their stage performance was not bad. Wait, I'll ask the teaching assistant to bring my computer over and let you listen."
Li Guangmin smiled.
…
"Yunshang School is called Yunshang School because these children live in a mountainous area with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters. I believe many students in our school have a deep understanding of this..."
On Jincheng's side, Yang Qian stood on the stage of the auditorium. While talking, he took out a brand new guitar from the musical instrument stand next to him.
"A teacher who likes rock music very much, his name is Gu Ya. Four years ago, like many people who love music, he formed a band with his friends and went to the music festival. However, he did not become famous after singing for several years.
He ultimately failed to pursue his musical dream."
"But four years ago, he came to this remote and difficult mountain village primary school as a teacher through Kaotegang Teachers. When he is not in class, this teacher who is actually not that peaceful likes to hold his guitar in the dormitory or office
Singing in it. Just like this..." (Note 1)
The new guitar needed to be tuned, so Yang Qian took the opportunity and played it a few times seemingly randomly.
The students in the audience didn't hear it, but they all laughed softly.
"Once, when Gu Ya was singing a song, he accidentally discovered that there were many children outside, opening the windows to look at him. Teacher Gu looked at their bright and eager eyes, and suddenly understood that in fact, these lives were lived.
Children who are in more difficult situations actually need music!"
"He looked at these classmates reaching out to touch his guitar, and he also thought of himself! In the past, he was crazy because his relatives brought him a gourd-like instrument, which was actually a guitar.
Do you like music?"
Yang Qian adjusted the guitar while he was talking, and the stories he told gradually fascinated the children who were still a little unable to sit still just now.
Tang Zhenliang, who was in the middle of the crowd, suddenly straightened his back and clenched his fists with his hands on his knees, because he felt that this story was more like being told to himself...
(Note 1: This teacher is called "Gu Ya" in real life. He is a teacher at Haiga Primary School and a young rock boy. When he was teaching at Haiga Primary School, he led the children to form a rock band.
Last year, we also held a rock concert with the New Pants Band, which was watched by millions of people through live broadcast. Although the children’s performance was relatively green, the way their dreams bloomed was the brightest!)
