Chapter 411 Song Selection
This was also specially chosen by Zhou Zhi.
"Ussuri Barcarolle" is a very beautiful tenor song. It is rarely sung by a female voice. Even if it is, it is mostly sung by a mezzo-soprano and almost never adjusted to a soprano. Version.
It’s still Zhou’s aesthetic theory – the sense of strangeness in the familiar.
With digital equipment, tuning is not a problem at all. Zhou Zhi raised the KEY and adjusted it to a version suitable for Guan Tingting's vocal range.
Zhou Zhi also wanted to fine-tune the equipment, and Guan's mother stood directly in front of Guan Tingting with a nervous look on her face, listening to her daughter singing.
After singing once, Zhou Zhi marked down many places that needed attention, shook his head and said: "Tingting, you are still too nervous, you don't have the feeling of singing in the corridor at all. "
"Brother Xiuzi, have you finished the debugging? Come in front of me, Mom, stand aside!" Guan Tingting gave the order.
"Okay, let's try again..." Zhou Zhi pulled the high stool in front of Guan Tingting, pressed the remote control button again, then closed his eyes, shaking his head along with the prelude, while holding it with his right hand Red pen, making wavy gestures.
When Guan Tingting's singing came together, Zhou Zhi brought his expression into the joyful mood of the singing.
The effect came out immediately, and Guan Tingting's singing became relaxed, cheerful and agile.
This is the contagiousness of emotions.
After singing the song, Guan Tingting asked: "Brother Xiuzi, how was it this time?"
Zhou Zhi gave a thumbs up: "Great! There are just a few more places, twice There are flaws, I'll mark them for you Come on, please pay attention to those points when singing this time. Even if you sing relaxedly, we won’t start recording until we sing perfectly.”
“Okay! This thing is so advanced! Accompaniment! ”
"Don't worry about it for now, let's continue."
The third time the singing was still in the mode of the two cooperating with each other, this time Guan Tingting's performance was more relaxed and her singing was quite perfect.
“Beautiful!” Zhou Zhi never hesitated to praise Guan Tingting: “After two more years of hard work, this song can be regarded as Tingting’s signature song.”
Guan Tingting also felt that the song just now The song was sung well: "It's a pity that it was not recorded."
Zhou Zhi laughed: "It has been recorded. I would lie to you if I said it was not recorded, so that you can get your most natural state."
"Oh, I didn't even fix my hair just now, and my expression wasn't in place. It must be so ugly..."
"I believe you, brother elbow, this is the best. Are you relaxed now? Relax, let's go downstairs." Song..."
In the end, a total of three songs were recorded.
One is "Usuli Boat Song", which is used to deepen the teachers' impression of Guan Tingting;
One is the popular singing "The Rolling Red Dust", of course this song It is not that the little girl in the second grade of junior high school can perform well now, but it can let the teachers hear the true nature of the little girl’s voice and know the little girl’s foundation and potential;
The third song is "My Motherland". This song is about showing off her skills, or trying her best. The purpose is not to surprise the well-informed teachers. In fact, it is to let the teachers know that Tingting can do her best now. Reachable height.
In order to achieve this goal, "My Motherland" was also promoted to KEY by Zhou Zhi, because Guan Tingting's innate conditions are quite good.
It sounds simple, but in fact it is not easy. Without digital equipment to record the tuning, it is quite a test of the singer's skill.
Of course, this also has the advantage of letting the teacher know most clearly what Guan Tingting's problem is. Three songs, Zhou Zhi spent two nights. On the first day after school, he went to the broadcasting bureau to set up a recording studio, and on the second day he recorded and videotaped.
The songs are all recorded at night because the vocal range of a person’s voice is one or two notes wider at night than in the morning.
By the time I was basically satisfied with the recording of the three songs, it was already past midnight when I came out of the broadcasting station.
Guan Tingting did not stay up all night like this. Now she still feels excited and novel. She is not sleepy at all. She is jumping up and down with Zhou Zhi on her arm, clamoring for Guan's mother to treat her to grilled fish.
Jiachuan has always had a tradition of ghost food at night. In the past, it was fermented glutinous rice eggs, glutinous rice balls, rice noodles, hand-cooked noodles, and dandan noodles that have traveled all over the world in later generations.
With the gradual improvement of people's living standards, there are now more cold cups featuring braised vegetables, cold dishes, boiled peanuts and edamame and beer in summer, and spicy skewers, grilled fish and boiled beer in winter.
There are even two single-pot stir-fries.
The varieties are gradually becoming richer, and the ghost restaurant stores are opening bigger and bigger, but Guan Tingting said that if you want to eat grilled fish, you must eat grilled fish.
The current Jiachuan grilled fish is also passed down from Yuzhou. The exact place of origin of the grilled fish is actually Yuzhou. According to legend, the creator is the female descendant of the famous chef Ye Tianqi in Yuzhou.
This is also a very interesting story, and Zhou Zhi included it in "Interesting Stories of Sichuan Flavor".
In short, the current grilled fish is neither named Wanzhou nor Wushan, and the ingredients are simple. The ingredients are cheap grilled fish and carp.
The method is also simple. Kill the fish, remove the scales, cut the back of the fish to remove the internal organs, wash it and cut it with a knife, add cooking wine, green onion and ginger water and marinate it.
Then put it on the grill and bake it until it is five or six years old, brush it with the old oil for the first time, and then brush it for the second time when it reaches 90%, and then put it on a stove plate lined with shredded onions or leeks or folded ear roots and set aside.
Grill the fish here, stir-fry the other side. The stir-fry ingredients are ginger, garlic bean paste, Yongchuan tempeh, the hot pot base, stir-fry over medium heat until fragrant, add the remaining oil and fresh soup, and finally add the celery festival and cucumber festival fire Bring to a boil and pour into fish plate.
This is actually an alternative vegetarian hotpot, but with very little soup.
The last step is the basic process for making fish - heat the oil until it is 50% hot, add dried chili and dried Sichuan peppercorns, stir-fry over medium heat until fragrant, then pour it on the fish, add shredded scallions and coriander and serve. .
Light the alcohol stove, put the grilled fish on it to keep it warm, and you can start cooking.
To thank her for her thoughtfulness, Guan’s mother ordered a three-pound grilled fish and a pot of special boiled beer.
Cooking beer is just beer, rice wine, red dates, wolfberry and rock sugar put into a kettle and boiled. The alcohol content is even lower than that of beer. It can only be regarded as a drink at most. Guan Tingting can drink it openly in front of her mother.
The saying that singers need to protect their throats and not eat spicy food, drink, or smoke has been popular for a long time, but it seems that neither Mama Guan nor Guan Tingting believe this. Mama Guan even occasionally gets happy and even smokes a cigarette.
For example, now, Guan’s mother has put down her reserve and flicked the cigarette ashes with her orchid fingers skillfully: "You eat fish, elbow! Why are you picking up vegetarian dishes? Tingting is picking up a piece of fish tail for her brother!"
"I'll do it myself..." Zhou Zhi said quickly, first taking a piece of fish to Guan Tingting: "Tingting is the same. She is still making trouble to eat so late. After a while, her saliva will wet the pillow when she sleeps."
"You just wet the pillow!" Guan Tingting was very happy: "Brother Zhuzi, you said Jiachuan will be there soon Is there going to be a place where I can sing with the equipment just now? "
"Yes, it will probably be in a month." Zhou Zhi nodded: "The dance hall of the cultural center will be converted into a karaoke OK. Brother Dayong will take care of it."
