Chapter 4 Vicious judges and vocal music director

Chapter 4 Vicious judges and vocal coaches

The stage of "That Girl" ends, and then enters the interactive question-and-answer session between the instructor and the students.

The host started to ask questions according to the script: "Thanks to our seven students for the wonderful stage. Do the four instructors have any questions to ask? Xiyin, how do you evaluate this group of juniors?"

Shen Xiyin was the winner of the last "Star of Tomorrow".

The program team arranged for her to be the mentor for this season, also hoping to create some linkage.

Among the four instructors, Shen Xiyin had the least qualifications and did not dare to speak first. He quickly said: "I'd better ask other teachers to speak first. I'll study first."

"Xiyin is preparing for the final evaluation." Liang Yusong, a famous music producer on the side, joked.

Shen Xiyin waved her hands quickly: "No, no, no, study, I'm here to study."

At this moment.

The directing team gestured to let the music critics in the media judging panel comment first.

The host He Hao has rich experience and immediately led the topic: "I saw a music critic teacher raised his hand, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to speak. First, I would like to ask the famous music critic Jefferson, what is his evaluation of this stage?"

Jefferson is a music critic on the Weibo platform, with nearly two million fans and a high reputation.

Moreover, he is famous for his venomous tongue, even daring to criticize the top celebrities, which often attracts some fans to criticize his Weibo.

However, in this way, it brought him traffic.

Therefore, he has a lot of negative fans, but this is his way of survival.

Many music programs come to him and ask him to be a venomous judge, and he never refuses to criticize anyone he catches.

In real life, Jefferson is a middle-aged man, in his forties. His usual expression is a bit fierce, and he looks very difficult to mess with.

He took over the host's topic and began to comment: "Let me start from the beginning. First of all, who sang the first line? Go out first."

Fang Xing took a step forward and stood calmly.

The audience and fans at the scene saw that the media judges singled out a student.

So, some people began to whisper: "This is a bad performance, will you be criticized?"

Just as the audience expected.

Jefferson asked sternly when he opened his mouth: "Did you sing the first line? What did you sing? Do you know music? Tell me, do you know music?"

Fang Xing blinked, stunned by his question. He didn't bother to argue with him, so he smiled and replied, "Well, I've only been singing, so I don't know much about music."

Jefferson took the lead and felt that he had caught the trainee, so he was ready to continue shooting: "You are quite self-aware. What you are singing must be breathy but not breathy, and the pitch is not pitched..."

at this time.

Chen Chaonan, who was sitting at the instructor's table, couldn't stand listening anymore and took the initiative to interrupt.

"Pause."

He is the vocal director of the entire program and is also a doctoral supervisor at the Donghai Conservatory of Music, maintaining a rigorous attitude towards the profession.

This is not a scripted process or a script, it is an unexpected situation.

Host He Haozhu immediately began to control the situation and guide the topic: "Our Director Chen has different opinions, so let's listen to Director Chen's opinion first."

Chen Chaonan said with a straight face: "When your chief director came to me, he said that the program should be done according to the standards of the vocal music profession, so I have to do it according to the standards of the vocal music profession. If the program team is not satisfied, then we can talk about it after this. "

At this time, the chief director Tong Fei took the microphone handed over by the choreographer and said: "Listen to Director Chen's comments first. Regarding vocal opinions, Director Chen shall prevail."

After receiving this promise, Chen Chaonan continued to look at Fang Xing on the stage and asked, "We met this morning, is it you?"

"Yes, during voice practice." Fang Xing replied in a normal tone.

Chen Chaonan gave a thumbs up and praised:

"When I listened to you practicing your voice this morning, I felt that you were a bit rusty. However, your performance tonight was great and you did what the main song should do.

“The verse is used to tell a story, while the chorus is used to express emotion.

"The main song, the main song, actually in a song, the main song is what the whole song really wants to express.

“But the verse is often the most difficult part to sing well. As soon as you open your mouth, you can draw people into the story of the song, which is very good.

“It’s not easy to sing the difficult passages to the extreme.

"As a vocal instructor, I must clear the name of such students."

Fang Xing nodded and thanked: "Thank you, teacher."

After hearing Chen Chaonan's evaluation, Jefferson, the poisonous music critic, was immediately embarrassed.

Ordinary viewers may not know who Chen Chaonan is, but as a music critic, he naturally knows.

The doctoral supervisor of the Donghai Conservatory of Music has already commented on it. If he gives bad comments again, he is just asking for humiliation.

After hearing Chen Chaonan's comments, the audience was a little confused.

"Who is this mentor? I've never seen him before, and the program team brought him here to flatter him?"

"This Chen Chaonan is a PhD supervisor at Dongyin. He rarely appears on programs. He should be a professional in vocal music, right?"

"Then who is this trainee? Why does the instructor rate him so highly? What did he sing just now?"

"It's the first line of the song, called Fang or something."

"He is ranked tenth from the bottom on the popularity list. He is so vague and has such a high evaluation. Is it really okay?"

Some viewers used their mobile phones to scroll through Penguin Video's "Stars of Tomorrow" popularity rankings, and they didn't see Fang Xing's name until they scrolled to the bottom.

"But to be honest, his singing is really pretty good. Although it's not outstanding, the main song can't hit the high notes like the chorus, so it's really hard to be outstanding."

In the ears of ordinary listeners, the high notes of the chorus are the most outstanding part.

But in the ears of music critics with a higher level of music appreciation, it is more difficult to sing the main song well.

Because the main song does not have outstanding high notes, but it is the part of the whole song that really tells a story. It is not easy to tell a good story with a plain singing voice.

Immediately afterwards, the host saw the last mentor, queen-level singer Zhang Huiying, indicating that she wanted to speak, and immediately dropped the topic: "Sister Ying, do you have different opinions?"

Bang bang bang...

Zhang Huiying applauded first and praised: "The song just made the mood rise and fall, so I didn't applaud. Now I will add one."

“This song is overall good, and it can be seen that everyone put a lot of effort into it from the choreography to the singing.

"Teacher Chen Chaonan has just commented on Fang Xing, but I still want to add something.

"The first line is awesome. If you hadn't seen you so young, I would have thought it was sung by a singer who has been in the industry for decades.

"However, the first two lines just brought me into the story of the song, but the latter part was a bit flat, causing the emotions to get stuck in the middle, unable to go up or down.

"However, overall it is still very good. I will give high marks to this stage."

"Thank you, mentor." Seven people thanked him at the same time.

The host then changed the subject: "Xiyin, the two instructors have finished speaking. Are you going to speak last or now?"

Shen Xiyin gave two thumbs up: "I'll say it first, I'll say it first. In short, it sounds good. The verse is great, and the chorus is also great. The last high note in the chorus scared me. Wu Junchen, you should have sang to D5 just now.

Is that so? It’s amazing, even a female voice may not be able to hold that sound steady.”

As the last champion, her limited group contract is still in the hands of Penguin Entertainment.

Penguin Entertainment does talent show and variety shows to make money.

If you want to make money, you have to promote popular players, and you need someone to praise the popular players.

Mentors such as Chen Chaonan and Zhang Huiying are either doctoral supervisors of Dongyin, divas, or famous music producers.

The program team can't control their evaluations, so most of the instructors arranged by the program team will give speeches to Shen Xiyin.

Shen Xiyin's comments immediately caused many fans at the scene to scream.

"Wu Junchen, Wu Junchen, Wu Junchen..."

After Shen Xiyin finished speaking, only the last famous music producer Liang Yusong was left.

Liang Yusong took the initiative to take the microphone, coughed, and joked: "You have finished saying the good things, leaving all the ugly things to me."

He held the note-taking paper in his hand, looked at the scrawled notes on it, and began to comment: "First point, the level of the whole song is uneven, the high one is very high, the low one is very low.

"As instructor Hui Ying said, emotions rise and fall just because singing is good and bad.

"As for the high notes of the chorus, I suggest you practice resonance, otherwise the sound will be thin and the D5 will be unstable. It would be better if you lowered it by half a tone, but only a little.

"And Fang Xing, Director Chen speaks highly of you, but I still want to express my different opinions.

"The two lines you sang are indeed pretty good, but they are just two lines and you can't hear anything at all.

"At least I need to show a wider vocal range and more performance before I can give you an accurate evaluation.

"So, for the PK session later, who in your group will sing? Has the director asked you to prepare a PK song?"

He raised a track list in his hand and continued: "The PK song above does not have your name on it. If Class F can't make it to the first performance, it may be eliminated. The director will turn off the microphone first, and the director can Would you like to come up and communicate?"

Chief Director Tong Fei walked up to the instructor's chair and communicated quietly with the four instructors.

Since Fang Xing did not submit accompaniment, his name is indeed not included in the list of PK songs.

After communicating for a few minutes, the recording started again.

Liang Yusong then asked: "Fang Xing, the director team reminded you yesterday to submit the accompaniment for the PK song, but you didn't give it to the director team until the performance started. What's the reason?"

Fang Xing thought about it for a moment and replied: "Actually, it's nothing, I just couldn't find the arranging equipment."

Liang Yusong raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "You want to arrange your own music?"

Fang Xing shrugged, with a relaxed look on his face: "That was originally the plan, but it didn't work out, so it doesn't matter."

Liang Yusong said in a serious tone: "This program is a competition after all, and the fairness of the competition must be ensured. Since you did not submit the accompaniment on time, in the PK session later, if you have a chance to sing, you will have to sing a cappella. Of course, first of all, You have to have a PK chance."

In the next PK session, each team has only one PK quota.

In other words, only 14 students have the opportunity to PK, while there are a full 40 students in Class F.

Therefore, not every student in Class F has the opportunity to PK.
