Chapter 1901 Singing
Putting aside the emotional value, Zhou Zhi believes that Guan Tingting's performance method with some soul music is actually more suitable for the song "I heard love comes back".
"How is it?" Guan Tingting asked Zhou Zhi after another gorgeous and low-pitched coloratura ending.
Zhou Zhi was still in the huge emotional impact and was speechless for a moment, but the others were already applauding crazily: "It sounds so good! Tingting, you sang so well!"
"Why don't we keep it like this and record the DEMO later?" Zhou Zhi finally snapped his fingers: "This song must be won!"
"There is another song I also want to sing, to pay tribute to Teresa Teng and Shinji Tanimura." Guan Tingting said.
""Star"..." Zhou Zhi thought about it again: "This song is good, but it's not easy to sing."
"It's a little hard to sing, but I still I want to challenge my seniors.”
< br>"Star" is Shinji Tanimura's famous song. In this era, it was normal for Hong Kong and Taiwan to cover songs from the island country. There were so many people singing this song. Later, someone counted and found that there were 27 celebrities singing it. There have been various versions.
Among them, the Cantonese-Japanese bilingual version of Teresa Teng's 1982 concert is very famous. Teresa Teng's own singing voice has a bit of "Japanese singing" singing skills, which is particularly suitable for performing this song. It is almost a cover of this song. version of the pinnacle.
On May 8 this year, Teresa Teng passed away in Chiang Mai, Thailand, causing countless music fans to fall into sadness.
In July, Faye Wong released her eleventh album and her third Mandarin album. She directly selected Teresa Teng’s thirteen relatively unpopular songs and named the album "Fei Mi Mi Zhi" sound".
In the 1970s and 1980s, some mainland music critics criticized Teresa Teng's music as "extreme music." Faye Wong deliberately paid tribute to Teresa Teng by using the pun of "fei" and "fei" being the same pronunciation.
This album has achieved extraordinary success, including "Lotus in the Snow", "You Are in My Heart", "Seeing the Smoke Again", and of course the song that will definitely be remembered by people when mentioning Faye Wong. , the most famous of which is "May I Live Longer".
Faye Wong's success is not only due to her excellent singing skills. In addition to the similarities between her voice and Teresa Teng herself, another huge success factor lies in the perfect arrangement.
This album was produced by Liang Rongjun, who produced eight of Faye Wong's eleven albums so far, so the two have a natural collaboration.
Covering old songs is always more difficult than releasing a new album, because others have preconceived ideas, while new songs are like a blank sheet of paper with no way to compare.
Faye Wong’s move is really quite risky.
While her predecessors have already achieved great success, Guan Tingting still wants to be a latecomer. In addition, her current position in the music industry is not stable, so the risk is actually greater than Faye Wong's before.
“Tingting, how about we think about it again?”
"No, I have been practicing for a long time, and I just want to sing."
I just want to sing. These four words moved Zhou Zhi. When Faye Wong was recording the new album, she originally wanted to sing She wanted to sing a duet with Teresa Teng, but the cooperation was never settled. In the end, Faye Wong said: "I can't wait any longer. I'll record it first." Then the recording of the new album started.
As a result, the album had only been recorded for a week when bad news about Teresa Teng came. Therefore, for Faye Wong, this album is just to fulfill her wish. Whether it sells well or not, and whether other people's comments are good or bad, will never affect her mood.
Looking at Guan Tingting's appearance now, it seems to be the same.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhi put down all worries: "Then let's sing. Can you sing in all three versions?"
"Which three versions are you talking about?" Guan Tingting asked, there are too many versions.
“There are three versions that Teresa Teng has sung, the original version of "Pleiades" by Shinji Tanimura, the Cantonese version of "Star", and the Mandarin version of "Another Kind of Nostalgia."
"I like the first two versions better, but I think the lyrics of the third version are just average..."
"Then let's do this," Zhou Zhi asked, in fact It reminds me of the classic version by Fei Yuqing, Li Hacken, and Zhou Shen that later generations heard: "The first part of the main song is the Cantonese version of "Star", which needs to be sung with a sense of warmth, and the second part is the Mandarin version of "Another Kind of Nostalgia," This part sings about the melancholy of homesickness, and in the following part we used the original version to pay tribute, but we stopped showing off our skills and focused on a deep and steady one.”
"If that's the case, I have another suggestion." Liu Yuchu raised her hand: "The chorus can be divided into three parts to perform, using three styles to harmonize, all completed by Tingting herself, and finally synthesized together. . "
"Yu Chu, your suggestion... I promised you not to show off your skills. One person has to sing three parts and have others clearly distinguish them. It's even more difficult than singing solo. "
" Tingting can definitely do it. She has studied opera, folk songs, and pop. Now she has also learned more about Western music styles. You can give it a try!"
"If this is the case, we have to arrange it! The previous symphony style has been greatly changed." Zhou Zhi thought: "Emphasize the piano and guitar, and match the tone expression..."
"Let's go to the recording studio and give it a try!" Hu Rui couldn't sit still anymore. .
"Are you going?" Zhou Zhi looked at the others, but he mainly asked Mai Xiaomiao.
"Go!" Mai Xiaomiao was so excited that her voice trembled a little. The song "I heard love comes back" that Guan Tingting sang just now made her feel that the hairs on her arms stood up, and her soul was so moved by the singing. The feeling that passed by her directly made her truly become Guan Tingting's fan.
Listening to the singer's performance at such a close distance, and listening to it through MP3 with headphones, are completely two levels of experience, heaven and earth.
“Bring everything with you!” Guan Tingting and the other girls began to collect their things happily. This is actually the norm for musicians. Singers basically open their voices completely at night, and inspiration easily emerges late at night, so recording Singing and writing are basically done at night, and often like tonight, the feeling comes inadvertently.
Tonight's drunkenness gave Guan Tingting's singing an extra "elasticity", which is not a bad thing for the expression of the two songs. It's just a good time to strike while the iron is hot.
As everyone continues to eat and drink, it is easier to create a relaxed atmosphere and make it easier to reveal true feelings.
The recording studio is actually Guan Tingting's suite, also in this community, but it is upstairs from Guan's mother's suite, and opposite there is Zhou Zhi's suite.
Now the equipment in Guan Tingting’s room is getting more and more professional, so a few girls simply took over Zhou Zhi’s house and requisitioned it as a living and living space. The resting place, Guan Tingting's suite, has become a very professional recording studio in Shu.
