Chapter 12 I'm Sitting in the Sunset, Watching the City's Decline
The guitar intro is somewhat different from the original song, lacking the graceful and continuous melancholy of the violin, but her father's skillful guitar playing still allowed Yang Ruoyi to immediately grasp the familiar part of the melody of the song.
This is a song that feels beautiful just by listening to the accompaniment, and the girl has practiced it and is very confident about the song, so when she heard the guitar accompaniment, the girl subconsciously raised her head that had been lowered shyly just now.
.
Of course, she didn't have the nerve to look at the brothers and sisters around her. Her eyelids were still lowered, as if she was looking at the microphone she was holding tightly with both hands.
Don't you dare to sing?
Yang Han saw his daughter's nervous look. When he was still playing the last note of the prelude, his right hand hovered over the guitar strings and looked at her worriedly.
However, at this moment, Yang Han saw Yang Ruoyi's turned face and somewhat surprised eyes.
It’s like asking: Why did it stop?
Yang Han raised his eyebrows slightly, said nothing, and continued to play.
"I, I'm sitting on a chair, watching the sunrise and resurrection..." Following his accompaniment, Yang Ruoyi also sang.
The first sentence was still full of nervousness and panic. She was even half a beat slow at the beginning, stuttered again on the first word, and then hurriedly speeded up her speech to make up for the beat.
However, no one seemed to care about her mistake, because the girl's sweet and soft voice captured the hearts of the audience as soon as she opened her mouth!
Besides Tian Tian, a girl who is only a middle school student, there is something particularly precious in her voice at this moment, and that is cleanness!
Just like the spring water in the mountains, it is clear and pure. When people listen to it, all the dust in the soul seems to be washed away at this moment, and the irritable thoughts can also get a moment of peace...
Yang Ruoyi raised her eyes. Her big, bright and clear eyes contained a hint of shyness, but it was as if she was a different person. Yang Ruoyi, who was singing, had the courage to look forward.
The eyes of the college students and passers-by who were watching brightened up. They suddenly felt that the bean sprout-like girl in front of them was suddenly full of charming charm!
I don’t know if it’s because her singing voice is so beautiful, or her eyes are so charming, making people feel the urge to open their arms to protect her!
"I sat in the sunset and watched the decline of the city. I picked off a leaf and let it replace me, observing the changes after I left..."
After singing a short section, there was a small gap, and Yang Ruoyi couldn't help but secretly turn her head to look at her father.
How was your singing? In fact, the reactions from the surrounding audience were secondary. Girls want to get comments from their fathers most!
In the overlap of night and light, Yang Ruoyi saw her father smiling and nodding. This faint encouragement gave her greater courage and strength.
Looking back, the girl's grip on the microphone relaxed slightly, allowing her to become more immersed in the subsequent singing.
"I once danced wildly, spoke greedily, and then my heart became cold and wet..."
Hearing this, Yang Han raised his eyebrows slightly, and his originally calm eyes seemed to have a flicker of fluctuation, just like the surface of a lake disturbed by a pebble!
Yang Han knows that his daughter sings well. Although he will not deliberately cultivate Yiyi's talents in this area, as a qualified father, Yang Han has never been absent from Yiyi's kindergarten and school attendance since she was a child.
Those important performances!
Of course, some small performances, especially some small activities at school after Yang Ruoyi entered junior high school, Yang Han did not have the opportunity to watch, because in middle school, the number of parent-child activities organized by the school will be reduced a lot. And when children reach adolescence, they become more and more
Longing for independence, Yang Ruoyi doesn’t want her father to follow her in everything!
It's a bit far. Yang Ruoyi sings beautifully, but that also depends on what standard is used to measure it.
For ordinary people, Yang Ruoyi's voice is nice, not out of tune, and can imitate the original singer's singing style, which is already considered very good!
However, for Yang Han, who has a higher vision, Yiyi can only sing so-so. Her voice is very textured, but her singing skills are average, and Yang Han can easily find a lot of faults!
Take Yiyi's ventilation for example. She is obviously at the level of an ordinary person singing in KTV. Her breathing rhythm is wrong, which leads to an obvious gap in ventilation when she sings!
For example, in the song "Fish", every sentence sung in the front must be connected with the sentence below. With this short blank period, the song sounded very flawed to Yang Han's picky ears.
Otherwise, why would he just give Yiyi a perfunctory smile of encouragement?
A more strict vocal teacher might have frowned and shouted stop!
However, Yiyi’s performance is not entirely without merit!
Just like when Yang Han raised his eyebrows, Yang Ruoyi sang the phrase "With the cold and wet heart corrupting" very well, and Yang Han was even surprised by her high notes!
Of course, there is a saying that Yang Ruoyi's breathing is not good enough. This short sentence needs to be sung very slowly. After singing the "cold" part in the middle, she can take a breath and continue singing. Yang Ruoyi can't do it.
She sang the entire sentence without taking a breath.
Without ventilation, you have to increase the high pitch. How much breath does it take to support it?
But Yang Ruoyi was able to sing this line perfectly, her breath was smooth and smooth, and her high-pitched part could still maintain a full and clear tone!
It was really beyond Yang Han’s expectation!
Yang Han's confident vocal range is in the mid-bass, so he really can't sing without any falsetto skills!
At this moment, Yang Han looked at her daughter more seriously, as if she had re-recognized her daughter's strength!
not bad!
…
"What can't be taken away, what can't be thrown away, let the heavy rain erode! Let it push me to the border and struggle desperately. If there is a world that is so turbid, I will fall in love crazily..."
More than just good?
When she first started singing, Yang Ruoyi was still a little nervous and her breath was unsteady, but as the song progressed more than halfway, she gradually gained more confidence with her familiarity and mastery of the song.
When singing to the end, the girl's singing not only stabilized, but she was also able to incorporate more emotions into her voice!
"If I have a brave embrace, no matter the cost, don't let me fly, nurture me tenderly, forgive me for flying, once I was attached to the sun..."
She was obviously just a skinny middle school girl, but she stood there holding a microphone and singing passionately, but her singing made the eyes of the college audience around her sparkle, as if she was emotionally resonated with her!
A boy carrying a computer backpack silently took out a few banknotes from his pocket, bent down and threw them into the guitar case at Yang Han's feet.
As if inspired, a girl wearing a peaked cap next to her also put a big red bill into the guitar case.
The two girls holding milk tea also wanted to reward them, but they touched themselves and seemed to have no cash! One of the girls with pink and purple manicures grabbed her mobile phone and started to follow them.
Yang Han, who was grateful for the tip, asked: "Uncle, do you have a QR code for payment? We also want to support it!"
Yang Han clasped his hands together and thanked with a smile: "Thank you, my heart has been received! We came out tonight without preparing a payment code. If you have conditions, please support us. If you don't have conditions, it doesn't matter. Your appreciation is our greatest support!"
It’s my daughter’s first time singing, and she has a lot of shortcomings, so please forgive me!”
"You sing so beautifully! What's wrong with that? Little sister, you are a very good singer, you have to believe in yourself!" The girl gave Yang Ruoyi a thumbs up with her manicured nails.
"Thank you, thank you sister!" Yang Ruoyi had just finished singing a song, but she was still confused. She was half a beat too slow to react, blinked her eyes, and then quickly bowed to thank her.
"What else should we sing? How about we let everyone request songs this time?" Yang Han suggested with a smile.
"Okay..." Yang Ruoyi didn't expect that her father would improve her gameplay. She nodded nervously. She didn't know what to say. She could only be arranged by her father.
"Then I'll order one first, "Soft Time" by Xue Hanyue!" The girl with the manicure responded quickly and rushed to order the song.
"Ah? "Soft Time"?" Yang Ruoyi looked at the other party in confusion. She then turned to look at her father and said with some anxiety, "I have never heard of this song."
Xue Hanyue is quite popular and can be regarded as a first-line female singer. She is good at singing and dancing. But the problem is that her more popular songs are all fast-paced singing and dancing songs. This song "Soft Time" is a song she gave in her early years.
The theme song sung by an unknown movie has a different style from her previous songs, so it's normal that it's not popular, and it's normal that Yang Ruoyi has never heard of it.
Maybe it was because she felt distressed to see a little sister in such embarrassment. Before Yang Han could come out to save her, the manicure girl smiled and said, "You don't know how to do this? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Just sing what you know how to sing!"
"Then let me sing a song called "Fly to a Happy Place"?" Yang Ruoyi still chose the song she had practiced the most recently.
This song that Yang Ruoyi chose to participate in the audition competition has been practiced to the point where she can open her eyes and close her eyes, and the sound of it seems to be echoing in her ears, almost to the point of being in a daze.
Since she dares to take part in auditions, Yang Ruoyi will certainly not be afraid to sing this song in front of so many people - she must have some confidence!
After the girl finished speaking, she looked at her father hesitantly, wondering if his father could play this song, and wondering whether she should suggest singing a cappella herself.
Or you can just connect your phone to the stereo and play the accompaniment!
However, her father gave her an "ok" gesture.
Yang Han looked for the score of "Fly to a Happy Place" on her mobile phone, and started playing it for her after looking at the score on the spot.
