Chapter 975 Yang Qian is also on stage? (two chapters in one)
The name Ari Ferre sounds like a football player. In fact, he looks a bit like a football player in person. He is about 1.8 meters tall, not fat but not thin, with a bit of muscle, a beard, and a hoodie.
, the peaked cap looks like a rapper!
Of course, Ari Ferre is not a young singer. Yang Qian was not even born when he debuted! It’s just that the white man doesn’t seem that old. He is fifty-three years old, almost the same as Jimmy Cagan.
, but in terms of appearance and temperament, he still looks like a young and strong young man in his thirties.
Ari Ferre does not seem to be a person who likes to drag his feet.
"I listened to the song you sent me last night!"
After Jimmy Cagan's introduction, Ari Ferre greeted Ouyang Xiaoqing and Yang Qian respectively, then looked at Yang Qian and quickly got to the point.
"How do you feel? Are you shocked?"
Jimmy Cagan added with a smile that this was how he felt when he listened to Yang Qian's demonstration yesterday - he was astonished.
He found it even more unbelievable than Ouyang Xiaoqing's solo song in the finals, because Ouyang Xiaoqing's solo song was good, but it was similar to the songs she sang in the previous competition, only more powerful. But Yang Qian
The song given to Ouyang Xiaoqing and Ari Feire is different. It is a song that combines pop and rap, and the combination is almost perfect!
"I thought Yang, who wrote this song, was an African-American rapper."
Ari Ferre had a more personal personality. He ignored Jimmy Cagan, but looked at Yang Qian and said.
It is not unreasonable to say this. Yang Qian's Yang is similar to "young" in English, and black people also have such surnames. For example, there was an NBA player whose surname was "young".
Going a step further, Ari Feyre thought that Yang Qian was a black rapper. This was not a discriminatory comment. His tone was full of excitement and his eyes were eager, as if he had met his opponent!
In fact, Ari Ferre's mental state is similar to that of Jimmy Cagan who went to pick him up at the airport yesterday. It was because he listened to Yang Qian's songs and practiced several times himself that he was a little bit superior.
Morning, just look at who Yang Qian is!
"What do you think of this song? Is there anything else that needs to be changed?"
Yang Qian didn't have the kind of unruliness he expected to see in rappers. Faced with his intention to come up and hug him, Yang Qian just nodded lightly, as if he didn't see it, and changed the topic
Moved one step forward.
Also asked him if any modifications were needed?
Ari Ferre was stunned.
If someone said that they wanted to change his song, Ari Ferre would definitely fall out. How can he tolerate others' criticism of his own hard work?
But Yang Qian's words didn't sound like a joke. He was very humble and seemed to be waiting for Ari Ferre's opinion.
"I don't want to change anything, and I really like your expletive-laden expression, and I don't want to wait any longer to sing it on stage!"
Ari Ferey smiled as he took off his hoodie.
He was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, but his exposed forearms were covered with large tattoos - it seemed that this was also their rapper's logo?
"I listened to a lot of your songs, so when I wrote it, I put it into your singing state, and also used some of the more explosive words (expletives) in rap. I just hope it can be more in line with your rap habits.
..."
Yang Qian's explanation is of course made up.
It's true that he specifically found songs by Ari Ferey to listen to, but that was just to make it easier to find songs in the system's music library that were more suitable for Ari Ferey and Ouyang Xiaoqing.
Ari Ferey believed it, and he felt Yang Qian's "sincerity".
"Thank you brother, I remember your favor!"
Ari Feyre hammered his chest, pointed at Yang Qian in a hip-hop manner, and said in a cool but natural manner.
"That's great. Since you agree with this song very much, Ari, let's start rehearsing now without further ado?"
Jimmy Cagan clapped his hands and said slightly excitedly.
Time is indeed very tight. The finals will start on February 7th. On this day, Ouyang Xiaoqing will sing her solo song, and February 8th will be the second game of the decisive battle. Ouyang Xiaoqing and Ari Feire
The performance is on this day!
It was already February 4th. Originally, Jimmy Cagan thought that it would take time for them to discuss the songs and adapt them. The earliest they could rehearse would be February 5th, so there would be less than three days of rehearsal time, and there would be more time in between.
Make time for Ouyang Xiaoqing to prepare herself.
Fortunately, finalizing the repertoire went very smoothly, and Ari Ferre happily agreed to use Yang Qian's original words, which saved at least one day of discussion and revision time, and they also had one more day of rehearsal opportunity!
"Okay, we're rehearsing now. I'm glad to be able to work with you!"
Ari Ferre stretched out his arm to Yang Qian.
"Actually, it's not me and you who collaborated. This song was sung by you and Ouyang Xiaoqing. She is here."
Yang Qian held hands with him and bumped their chests, then pointed at Ouyang Xiaoqing with a smile.
The enthusiasm of foreigners is really a bit too strong. It was the first time they met and they felt like they were brothers. Yang Qian, a person with a relatively reserved personality, obviously couldn't resist it. Fortunately, Ari Ferey didn't do anything else.
.
"I know! Ouyang is very popular now. I can always see you on my mobile phone. Let's sing it from the beginning?"
Ari Feyre was not so enthusiastic about Ouyang Xiaoqing, but quickly got into the mood and started rehearsing with Ouyang Xiaoqing.
...
The arrival of Ari Ferre not only allows him to rehearse with Ouyang Xiaoqing and help her perform on the finals stage on the 8th. Don’t forget that Ari Ferre is an award-winning and ruthless person.
A superstar rap star, his stage experience is far beyond what Yang Qiandu can match.
So, rehearsals were rehearsals, and during the lunch break, Ari Ferre, Yang Qian, and Jimmy Cagan had a heated discussion about the plan for how to perform on the stage.
"I think it must reflect the strong contrast between two different styles. For example, at the beginning, Ouyang Xiaoqing is wearing a white skirt, or a white wedding dress singing on the stage, and then you are wearing a black jacket, one black and one white, a sharp contrast.
.”
Yang Qian was more conservative. He felt that Ouyang Xiaoqing was a Chinese girl and should dress quietly, elegantly and dignified.
But Ari Ferre doesn't think so.
"Your song does not require a white wedding dress. You just asked Ouyang to sing in a depressing and gloomy tone, showing that she is almost destroyed and depressed in such a life. Then you should let Ouyang dress up like
A bad girl!”
Ari Ferey said.
"But she is not dark inside, she is just tired physically and mentally and hurt. Of course, both people are hurting each other in this relationship."
Yang Qian argued.
"Yang, believe me, the audience will prefer to see a bad girl standing on the stage. Ouyang has too many good girl images. If you come up with some changes in the finals, the audience will scream for her!"
Ari Ferre stretched out his hand, pointed at Ouyang Xiaoqing who was sitting obediently next to him, and said loudly to Yang Qian.
Of course, they certainly didn't have a falling out. Ari Ferre didn't care that Yang Qian, a young singer, was arguing with him, but he still enjoyed it.
They work hard to perform better on stage. They seem to have different opinions, but in fact they are all moving in the same direction!
Ouyang Xiaoqing sat aside and did not dare to say anything. It seemed that she could not get in the middle of such a discussion.
Moreover, Ouyang Xiaoqing felt that her master had come all the way to the United States to help her, so it was not good for her to stand on the opposite side of her master - yes, she was actually more interested in Ari Feyre's proposal. In the girl's thin body, there was a secret
There is a rebellious soul hiding in the earth.
"How to be rebellious? Smoky makeup, gothic makeup? Or put on tattoo stickers, or dye your hair red?"
Yang Qian frowned and looked at Ouyang Xiaoqing. Although his last "red" hair could be imitated by actual examples, compared to Ouyang Xiaoqing, it was hard for him to imagine that such a complicated and bad image could be imitated.
Appeared in his own apprentice.
"Why not? I think she will shock the audience even more than her previous costumes!"
Ari Feyre spread his hands and said.
"Yang, I actually think you might as well give it a try. Imagine that a good girl with a bad girl image actually longs for peace and love in her heart. Life has pushed her to the other side. Such a bad girl is a victim.
The badness of the person.”
Jimmy Cagan said.
It seems that it is not unacceptable to say so...
Yang Qian nodded slightly thoughtfully.
"There should be fire at the scene, and the flames on the screen should be used to ignite the whole place. In the end, there must be a scene like this. Ouyang and I originally sang separately, but finally stood together and ignited the whole place. Jimmy, like this
Is it difficult to implement the idea in Las Vegas?"
ask Ari Feyre and Jimmy Kegan.
"The screen at the scene is big enough, because Catherine needs the screen to match her pole dancing. Ari, have you seen her performance?"
Jimmy Cagan nodded.
"Catherine? The dance of the Elf King? I have seen it, it is a magical magic! She will be a very big opponent for you Ouyang. But don't think so much, just enjoy the stage!"
Ari Ferre said with a smile.
Unlike Jimmy Cagan, who has certain performance requirements, he doesn't care whether Ouyang Xiaoqing can win the championship. And he can actually feel that Chinese contestants like Ouyang Xiaoqing want to compete in "American's Got Talent"
"Winning the championship on the stage is not easy, not to mention her opponents are also ridiculously strong!
But for a singer, what does it matter whether he wins or not? Ari Feyre feels that Ouyang Xiaoqing and even Yang Qian may be nominated or even nominated at the Grammys in May or next year because of their songs.
It's an award-winning!
So, compared to Grammy, what does the winner of "America's Got Talent" mean?
Why not enjoy the stage to the fullest, show your best, and give the most exciting performance to audiences all over the United States, so that they will remember you!
Yang Qian actually had the same idea. He had told Ouyang Xiaoqing several times, asking her to put down the pressure and just sing well without thinking about the consequences.
However, as he spoke, the "finger point" was pointed at Yang Qian again.
"Yari, is there any way for Yang to participate? I think if he is also on the stage, it will be something that can also ignite the audience!"
Jimmy Cagan asked Ari Feyre, who was clearly thinking about ratings.
"I'm not going to go on stage, right? I'm just here to help Ouyang Xiaoqing prepare for the competition. I don't intend to perform on stage."
Yang Qian was stunned for a moment, he didn't say that this would happen before!
No, it's not like they haven't said it before. They actually said that audiences all over the United States also wanted to see Yang Qian. But Yang Qian thought it was just to film himself backstage, or to wait for Ouyang Xiaoqing to finish his performance and then go up and show his face.
That's all.
How come I want to perform on my own?
"Yang, we've all seen your ability, how about you sing a song for me too?"
Ari Ferey laughed.
Yang Qian just taught him how to sing and rap!
Although Ari Ferre can see that Yang Qian is not a professional rapper and his singing is definitely not as good as him, the charm that Yang Qian imitates is very interesting. If you really practice it for a few days, you will be able to perform on stage when the time comes.
Maybe you can also show off your skills.
"I'll forget it. What we want to ensure now is that your performance is the best. If I go up, it will only hold you back! No, no!"
Yang Qian firmly refused.
It seems right, for the sake of the stage, Yang Qian should not be brought in.
Ari Feyre nodded slightly.
It was a game on the 8th, a very important game. Ari Ferey knew that they had to consider Ouyang Xiaoqing's results. If it was his own concert, Ari Ferey could have called Yang Qian up, and the two of them
Sing rap together...
Yes, you can ask Yang Qian later if he is interested in attending his concert!
Ari Ferre's mind is also very jumping.
However, just when they were all deep in thought, Ouyang Xiaoqing next to them weakly interjected:
"Can you let my master play a musical instrument? He can play the piano or other instruments. He is good at all musical instruments."
Ouyang Xiaoqing just felt that if Yang Qian also went on stage together, she would stand on the stage of the final showdown, even if she faced a lot of pressure, even if she faced a superstar like Ari Feyre, she would still feel
A lot of confidence.
But what they didn't expect was that Ouyang Xiaoqing's suggestion made both Ari Feyre and Jimmy Cagan turn their heads to look at her.
Jimmy Cagan looked in surprise, he thought this proposal was a good one!
Ari Ferey, on the other hand, looked curious.
"Really? All the instruments?"
Ari Ferre can play piano, guitar, and other mainstream instruments such as bass and drums, but can someone be good at all instruments?
He is more interested in Yang Qian!
"Not all, but most of them, and my master can play very well!"
Ouyang Xiaoqing didn't look at the master's eyes asking her to keep a low profile, but said with a proud face.
