The album production time has been postponed, but the concert schedule continues.
The concert in Cologne, Germany, is the first European stop in Taylor's global tour. Due to the different languages, English is not very popular. Therefore, most of the so-called global tours of European and American singers only arrange a tour in countries such as Germany and the Netherlands.
site to prepare for the so-called global tour.
This is just like how many domestic singers hold concerts and claim to be on a global tour. Most of them only go back and forth to a few cities in China. At most, they hold one concert in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macao, or in areas where Chinese is more popular such as Singapore and Malaysia.
Concerts, and this kind of singer is already similar to the superstar level, such as Hua De'an, Li Qing, etc.
If you go abroad, let alone the language problem, tickets for Chinese singer concerts may not be sold much.
But Taylor's popularity is comparable to that of an international superstar.
She is the first singer to win the No. 1 spot on the Billboard singles chart for nine consecutive weeks. This honor also represents her popularity. Therefore, in Germany, the tickets for Taylor's concerts were not only sold out in an instant, but also attracted the attention of many fans.
After strong demands, under pressure, we agreed to hold two concerts in a row.
Unlike Li Qing who only sang a few songs, Taylor, who has been working intensively for a month, needs to sing more than ten songs in every concert. Under such circumstances, Taylor is already a little exhausted physically and mentally. The most important thing is
Although there are conditioners who monitor and maintain the vocal cords every day, this is only a temporary solution after all.
So under this situation, Julia came up with the lip-syncing plan.
Although it is very helpless, for now, this situation is also to protect Taylor's voice.
Taylor was a little disgusted by this. It was obvious that she was unwilling to do this, but the medical staff also made a judgment on this situation. If Taylor held thirty-six concerts in three months, then she would be very likely to do so.
May cause permanent damage to the vocal cords.
After hearing this judgment, Julia obviously became more determined about the lip-syncing plan.
"It's not that I won't let you sing." Julia persuaded, "But for some high-intensity songs, I think it's better to play them in the background, but the number must be controlled within seven songs."
Seven songs?
Taylor was silent. A long time ago, when she heard that certain singers lip-synched, she would be filled with indignation with her classmates, condemning the singer for having no professional ethics, etc. Now it was her turn, and this feeling was as painful as a heartache.
.
At the end of a concert, at least sixteen songs have to be sung. If most of the songs are suddenly cut off, no fan will be able to accept it.
Li Qing has a special opinion on this.
“Let’s adjust some of the order of the performance list.”
Li Qing said: "Change the order of the songs and arrange songs with different technical requirements."
In Li Qing's view, when people perform live, their vocal cords, resonant cavity, mental state, etc. will all differ due to regional characteristics, air temperature and humidity.
Every song in the concert has its own characteristics.
Some are surging and exciting, some are lingering and lingering, and some have high-pitched rhythms. These songs of different styles have very different requirements for the sound state.
Therefore, a sophisticated sound production system needs to arrange songs with different technical requirements according to the objective state at that time.
This will protect your voice to the greatest extent and improve your singing performance.
Li Qing has never held a tour, but he has held a concert after all. He knows the consequences of singing for real at a concert. After a whole performance, if he does not have specific skills and training, in that fiery atmosphere, he will exert all his strength.
Excessive exertion and hoarseness in the throat are the consequences of being pretentious. In the later stage, if you do not rest properly, tonsils will become red and swollen, inflamed or even lose your voice.
After systematic training, Taylor has been promoted to a professional singer, and is able to master various pronunciation techniques. Whether it is head cavity resonance or abdominal vocalization, he is already quite familiar with it. However, no matter how professional he is, the use of his voice cannot be avoided.
.
"I feel like I'm okay, I don't need to lip-sync."
Taylor shook his head and said: "I can accept the boss's arrangement, but Julia, I don't know how to lip-sync, not now and not in the future, so don't say anything like this again."
Julia has some complicated feelings. She was once the royal manager of North American diva Anita. She single-handedly pushed Anita from obscurity to the throne of diva. She witnessed Anita's growth. Even during the world tour, Anita was
In the past ten years of my career, it has been held three times.
Compared with Anita, Taylor's features are too obvious.
Stubborn, serious, meticulous in doing things, and disgusted with all things that are fraudulent.
Anita, on the other hand, is a typical example of resignation. No matter what kind of announcement Julia arranges, she will head on it whenever she has time. Perhaps, it is precisely because of this character that Anita accumulates resentment in her heart.
After reaching the critical point, everything becomes empty in an instant!
Although Anita attended the Billboard Awards not long ago, she only appeared as an award guest. In recent years, Anita has not released any works since she announced her retirement from the music industry.
As for the so-called lip-synching, Anita will also accept it obediently under Julia's forced arrangement.
But Taylor obviously doesn't do that.
In Taylor's philosophy, any escape is cowardice, no matter what the reason.
So the lip-syncing plan failed.
Taylor agreed to Li Qing's arrangement and rearranged the order of the songs, interspersing some songs that required singing skills with some songs that required emotional expression, instead of just to attract the fans at the scene like in previous concerts.
In order to express the emotions, some high-intensity intense songs were continuously thrown out.
Even if you have a golden voice due to such high-intensity use of your voice, sooner or later there will be sequelae.
Three days later, the first stop of the European tour, the Cologne concert, began.
There were many Cologne citizens and many German citizens at the scene, but it is worth mentioning that in the territory of the Germans, the most common language for communication is English!
In the LANXESS Arena, which can accommodate 67,000 people, various languages are spoken!
It was like a hodgepodge of languages from all over the world.
Although different, people's enthusiasm is the same in the noisy concert scene.
Although communication is inconvenient, the screams and shouts are unanimous.
When Taylor appeared on the concert stage in a golden pleated skirt, the audience burst into loud screams. The song sung by Taylor's heavenly voice was so perfect that the fans screamed and howled.
Continuously.
The popularity of Li Qing, Jesse, Arthur, Shirley and others seems to have reached its peak today. Especially Li Qing, during the performance, a female fan sitting in the front row of the concert unexpectedly
After getting past the security personnel, he turned over and entered the center of the stage. He hugged Li Qing and refused to let go. Then he cried loudly, with snot and tears flowing from his nose.
Fortunately, the security personnel responded in time and quickly distanced the two parties.
This scene obviously made the scene reach a climax.
Because the short video of the concert was leaked, many fans at the scene were familiar with Li Qing's songs. When Li Qing sang the song "Baby", 67,000 people at the concert performed a uniform chorus.
.
The momentum was like a strong wind and a tsunami, spreading in all directions. Even with the sound insulation wall blocking it, people far outside the stadium couldn't help but turn around in surprise.
After the concert, enthusiastic discussions about the concert began on German online forums.
But German netizens soon discovered a serious problem, and fans throughout the country burst into intense anger.
It turned out that because Taylor and others were so popular, the concert tickets were sold out very early.
Most of these tickets were purchased by fans from other countries.
At the scene, the number of German fans only accounted for 40%, and the remaining 60% were all fans "smuggled" from other countries.
Now, if fans in Germany want to get concert tickets, they have to buy them at high prices through the scalper market, and even scalper tickets are shockingly rare.
So in this wave of anger, many wealthy German fans immediately responded and took action, starting to fly to various places to grab tickets for the next concerts in the UK, Ireland, Canada and other places.
It can be expected that in the coming concerts, scenes of people from all over the world gathering together will become more frequent.
