Chapter 544 The audience was amazed by the opening (2/3 monthly ticket)
"The English song is "Someone like you", a song written by my teacher that has not been released yet..."
What Ouyang Xiaoqing said did not arouse much reaction from the examiners.
Even the candidates were only slightly surprised, that's all.
After all, Ouyang Xiaoqing didn't mention Yang Qian's name. Who knows who your teacher is?
Writing songs does not seem to be a particularly unimaginable thing for people who are engaged in the music "teaching" industry. Nowadays, many tailors who are not very familiar with music theory can "write" their own songs. The key is whether they sound good or not.
Therefore, the teachers were very calm, and the examiner seemed not to listen carefully. He raised his hand in a routine manner:
"When you're ready, start your performance."
It was a bit like the scene of "Good Voice in Chinese". Ouyang Xiaoqing calmed down her nervous heartbeat, nodded to the teacher Julie, and the accompaniment in her USB flash drive was played.
The accompaniment at the beginning is a Chinese song, an excerpt from the musical "The Legend of White Snake".
The musical "White Snake" was created in 1997 and is one of the early classic musicals in China.
Ouyang Xiaoqing sang one of the verses she learned from the training teacher.
The charm was a little bit off, but her voice was louder, and her rhythm and pitch were very accurate. This made several invigilators’ eyes light up.
This student's vocal music should be very good!
Among the talents in domestic musical and dance dramas, there are actually quite a few actors who are good at dancing, but what is rare is an actor who can dance well and sing well.
Ouyang Xiaoqing has a petite figure, but the tension in her voice is very good, which gives the teachers more imagination - don't get it wrong, these imaginations are based on the actor's character creation.
They were not stingy with their praises, and while smiling and nodding, they wrote down their own evaluations on paper.
By singing in Chinese for more than two minutes, Ouyang Xiaoqing has initially gained the approval of the invigilators.
There was no pause in the English singing that followed, but the switching of music gave Ouyang Xiaoqing a few seconds to adjust her emotions.
Soon, the piano accompaniment of the song "Someone like you" came from the room's speakers.
The melody at the beginning is relatively simple, it is a repetitive tune, but the rhythm is very gentle, which makes people feel comfortable to listen to it.
Of course, playing the piano is very skillful!
The ears of several invigilators perked up. Having often been in contact with top music masters and performing masters, they could obviously hear the extraordinary quality of this piano accompaniment.
What the candidate No. 8 just said was that this song was originally written by her teacher?
In other words, the person playing this accompaniment should also be her teacher.
Then this guy is pretty awesome!
They began to become curious about this song that originally did not attract their attention.
"I heard that you're settled down,
That you found a girl and you're married now..."
(Translation: "I heard that you have settled down. You met a girl and are now married to her.")
When Ouyang Xiaoqing sang "I heard" at the beginning with a sigh and a stubborn tone, everyone showed a surprised expression, and even the entire examination room seemed to suddenly become quiet.
All that's left is the melody of the piano and Ouyang Xiaoqing's singing!
Not to mention the invigilator, even ordinary candidates can hear the "difference" in Ouyang Xiaoqing's voice!
This loud and deep singing voice, this texture that is so delicate that it makes one's scalp numb, embodies two words - "high-end"!
"Ouyang, she is not something that ordinary candidates can sing at all. Her voice feels like a real singer singing, and it is the kind of person who is very experienced and can sing calmly and calmly. Do you understand?"
Cheng Ruixue couldn't help but turned her head, wanting to find someone to sigh with.
But now they were in the exam and couldn't whisper to each other, so Cheng Ruixue could only hold back and read on, feeling surprised and happy for Ouyang Xiaoqing.
"I heard that your dreams came true,
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you..."
(Translation: I heard that your dream came true. It seems that she gave you what I couldn’t give.)
Ordinary candidates may not be able to understand the content of the lyrics because their English is barely adequate, but the teachers in charge of invigilating the exams are able to communicate directly with foreigners in English, so they can all understand what Ouyang Xiaoqing sings.
Not only could they understand it, they also recognized Ouyang Xiaoqing's pronunciation problems.
It's still somewhat non-standard.
Of course, despite her flaws, this female candidate’s singing was enough to surprise them!
This song is really suitable for Ouyang Xiaoqing to perform.
Ouyang Xiaoqing's voice is characterized by a very powerful and penetrating high-pitched voice.
Therefore, even though the note at the beginning is not too high, Ouyang Xiaoqing still sings it in a refreshing way, and you can truly feel the power and texture of her voice.
But the emotions of the lyrics have layers, just like the plot of a musical, which needs to progress layer by layer, with ups and downs!
You can't just sing as if you don't care about the matter like you did at the beginning. Such a straightforward singing will definitely lack beauty.
This is a test point that these teachers pay close attention to, and Ouyang Xiaoqing also makes them feel very satisfied.
At first I pretended not to care, in the middle I felt a bit sour and bitter, then I felt uncontrollable jealousy when I talked about "dreams come true", and finally I felt lonely when I thought about my own loneliness...
Yes, in just two lyrics, Ouyang Xiaoqing allowed the invigilators to hear four different levels of emotional expression!
Is this Ouyang Xiaoqing’s talent?
Of course, talent accounts for part of the factor, but more is due to Yang Qian's guidance and Ouyang Xiaoqing's own subsequent exploration.
She did not have the complex emotional experience of the original singer Adele, but Ouyang Xiaoqing found that it was not difficult for her to understand the "experience of Yang Qian's brother's classmate" that this song tells.
Because the story of "Someone like you" is so similar to my father's experience!
It’s the same feeling of being “abandoned” by your true love, and it’s also the same feeling of seeing your former true love fall back into the arms of others, or even get married.
However, Ouyang Cheng did not feel sorry for himself or feel jealous like a woman who had lost her mind, as he sang in this song.
Ouyang Cheng is relatively restrained. He has never expressed any negative emotions about his ex-wife in front of his children, and some only express his silent blessings!
Or the whole process of silence...
Ouyang Xiaoqing believes that it is not that her father has no feelings, but that he has hidden all his thoughts and emotions in his heart!
Therefore, when studying how to sing this song well, Ouyang Xiaoqing decided to put the story of her parents into it, and even took on the identity of her father to vent her inner dissatisfaction!
