Although Faye Wong knows the musical score, her ability to sing musical scores is not particularly good.
Among the singers Zhou Yan has come into contact with, there is no doubt that Celine Dion has the best singing skills.
If you want to have good score singing skills, you must have a lot of practice in daily life, while Faye Wong should practice less often and is a little unskilled.
It doesn’t matter if you are not proficient. Zhou Yan is not in a hurry. Give Faye Wong some time. She will naturally become proficient after singing a few more times.
Farewell's attention was focused on how to sing the score correctly at the beginning, and she didn't have the heart to feel the song. After all, she couldn't sing correctly and could not feel anything.
After a while, after she sang the previous score skillfully, she could gradually feel the charm of this song.
Farewell's theoretical knowledge is average, but her perception of a song is fine. After straightening it out, she immediately confirmed that it was a good song, and it was not an ordinary good song.
The more she sang it to the back, the more she became excited. The more she listened, the more she felt that this was not an ordinary love-themed song. It seemed that there were not many notes jumping into it, but her emotions were very strong.
When Faye Wong was singing the score, Zhou Yan was also observing Faye Wong's condition.
He wanted Faye Wong to sing this song, but he was not very sure that Faye Wong could sing it well.
Faye Wong is a small voice singer with an ethereal and soft voice, which is more suitable for interpreting songs with soothing and beautiful melody. Songs like "Legend" are typical Faye Wong's comfort zone.
"becauseofyou" is not a typical loud-sounding song, but it still requires a certain amount of voice strength and vocal intensity to support it in the chorus.
Zhou Yan was not worried at all about Faye Wong's singing of the main song, because the main song of the song "becasueofyou" originally required the singer to use softer and delicate tone and singing style to describe it, which is exactly what Faye Wong is good at.
The chorus part may be a bit difficult for Faye Wong.
However, after singing the score, Zhou Yan felt that Faye Wong had done it very well, and during the score stage, Faye Wong must have sang it.
After Faye Wong sang the score well, Zhou Yan asked her to sing with the lyrics.
Farewell nodded and began to sing the song with her lyrics.
After bringing the lyrics, Faye Wong sang a bit stumbling, and her pronunciation was a bit problematic.
When hearing Faye Wong's pronunciation, Zhou Yan was a little confused because in his impression, Faye Wong's language talent was good, and his pronunciation was good, whether in Cantonese or English.
But now it sounds like Faye Wong's English proficiency is a bit poor.
Zhou Yan frowned, but he didn't say anything. Language was just a small problem, and it really didn't work. At worst, you could spend some time to stumble on one word after another, just spending more time.
However, what Zhou Yan didn't expect was that Faye Wong had a problem with her pronunciation at the beginning. After singing it a few times, her pronunciation became better and better.
A few minutes later, her pronunciation was completely different from the beginning.
At this time, Faye Wong also smiled, "I haven't spoken English for a long time, I'm a little unfamiliar, I've sang a few words better."
"Oh, that's it." Zhou Yan nodded and asked again, "You usually develop in Xiangjiang, don't you use English?"
"They use a lot, just know how to listen. I don't like to speak."
The English frequency in Xiangjiang is very high. Generally, when you go to Xiangjiang, you either know Cantonese or English. If you only know Mandarin, it is actually very difficult to do.
If you are just a little kid, people are unwilling to accommodate you in speaking Mandarin, many people are unwilling to say it, and some people are unwilling to say it but they can't say it well.
Ma Jingwu encountered this situation on the crew of "The Green Snake". There were two small supporting roles who could speak Mandarin, but they just didn't talk to Ma Jingwu.
Zhou Yan said, "Since that's the case, then you think about it again. We will look at it in an hour."
"No problem." Faye Wong nodded. She also wanted to take some time to think about this song and see how to interpret this song better.
After Zhou Yan left, Faye Wong was thinking about the songs carefully in the practice room.
She first sang the whole song well, and then thought about what kind of techniques should be used in each place, where to stress, where to breathe, whether the real sound is good, or the false voice or the mixed sound is good, these are all things she needs to consider.
The score given by Zhou Yan this time is very simple, with only the sound and lyrics, and Faye Wong has to explore the rest himself.
Unlike Zhou Yan wrote songs for Maria Carey before, he wrote down the score on how to deal with it.
The main reason is that Zhou Yan is not sure whether the original Kelly Clayson's treatment in the song is suitable for Faye Wong.
After all, the two have different voices and different skills. If they simply copy Kelly Clayson's treatment to Faye Wong, the effect may not be good.
So Zhou Yan handed over the song to Faye Wong himself and asked her to deal with it according to her own characteristics. If there is any problem later, he will intervene in the adjustment.
Farewell in the practice room was constantly exploring "because ofyou". The more she sang, the more she became more and more skillful. Originally, the chorus department handled it a little weakly, but later she gradually found the feeling and the power of the chorus came up.
She is a small voice singer, but it doesn't mean she has no strength. She has sang many loud English songs before, such as "iwillalwaysloveyou" and "withoutyou".
Compared with those two songs, "becauseofyou" requires less bursts and less power.
A hour later, Zhou Yan left and returned.
After he came, he asked, "Is your voice okay?"
Farewell Wong smiled, "That's where is it?"
When she encountered some performances, she could not even sing for several hours. What is this hour of singing?
Zhou Yan was just asking for advice out of politeness, and he also knew that this amount was nothing to Faye Wong.
"Since that's the case, let's continue. You sing it to me first."
Farewell Wong prepared for a while and then started singing.
"Iwillnotmake
Thesamemistakes..."
After listening to Faye Wong singing the first sentence, Zhou Yan couldn't help but nod. I have to say that Faye Wong is indeed a natural material for singing.
Some people think that Faye Wong’s success is mainly due to her tone, but Zhou Yan believes that her biggest advantage is her sense of language.
The tone is important, but the sense of language is the key to her being able to complete so many classic works. The singer's sense of language can accurately convey the emotions and artistic conception of the song, and it is easier for the audience to resonate with.
Akina Nakamori's sense of language is also very strong, but Zhou Yan believes that if he has a sense of language alone, Akina may be weaker than Faye Wong.
Of course, at this level, it doesn’t matter who is weaker or stronger, because ordinary listeners can’t hear it at all, and it mainly depends on the song.
If the songs are of high quality and are suitable for singers, then the singer's language advantage can be used.
The song is not good and is not suitable for the singer's tone, so no matter how strong the language feels, it is useless.
A song of 50, you can save it to 60 or 70.
In addition to the sense of language, Faye Wong's English pronunciation also exceeded Zhou Yan's expectations. Not to mention, it is really right to find Faye Wong. There are probably not many female singers in mainland China who pronounce English better than Faye Wong.
As for the details, most of them are very good.
Faye Wong understands her own characteristics and knows her own abilities, so in terms of technical arrangements, she tries to balance her own characteristics and the characteristics of her songs.
But the time is not long after all, and some places are not very good. Zhou Yan said to Faye Wong one by one, "The first sentence is that your feeling is right, which means to tell the story. However, you should pay attention to the ending sound processing of the words "mistakes and did". You handle it a little bit slow, and I hope it can be cleaner and neat."
"You can try to pause a little between let and myself to enhance your expression. The vowel of misery is longer. Can you express some painful emotions? Your voice is very unified and your breath is very stable, which is quite good. Both break and fall must be aggravated, showing a determination..."
Faye Wong was listening carefully at the beginning, but suddenly found something was wrong later.
She originally thought that Zhou Yan would talk to her one by one, similar to her singing and Zhou Yan said one by one.
But unexpectedly, after she finished singing, Zhou Yan started to correct her homework, and according to the meaning, she had to change it from beginning to end. There are many things that need improvement, and Faye Wong is not afraid and will not feel embarrassed, but she can't remember so many problems at once. "Stop, Teacher Zhou, can you say it one by one, or I will take a note with a notebook?"
She had agreed with Zhou Yan before to call Zhou Yan Ayan, but seeing Zhou Yan's attitude, she still couldn't help calling him Teacher Zhou.
Zhou Yan threw her a pencil directly, "You remember it directly on the score."
Faye Wong took the pencil and curled her lips, "Then you say slower."
"Well, I'll try my best." Zhou Yan nodded and turned on the recorder in the practice room.
After the recorder was turned on, he continued to speak back where he hadn't finished speaking, and his speech speed did not slow down at all.
Farewell could not remember it at all and muttered, "Teacher Zhou..."
Zhou Yan pointed to the sounding recorder beside him, "It's recorded."
"Okay." Zhou Yan took six or seven minutes to tell Faye Wong the question, and finally said, "If you don't remember it, it doesn't matter. The recorder has been recorded. Just listen to it a few more times. You are studying it yourself. I still have something to do. If you have any questions, you can go to my office to find me."
The latest ⊥Xiao⊥ said⊥Send⊥Book⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥!
After saying that, Zhou Yan turned around and left.
Farewell holding the score, looking at Zhou Yan's back, then looked at the tape recorder next to her, and couldn't help rolling her eyes, "This guy is such a big name."
In fact, Faye Wong just complained casually, she didn't really think that Zhou Yan was a big brand.
She has seen a real big shot, but it’s not like Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan is like this, but it’s just a little cold.
But it doesn't matter. Faye Wong was in a good mood after getting a good song.
It's great to have a job like this that can make a lot of money and sing good songs. It's better to have ten or eight such songs every year, and she can lie at home to count the money.
Of course, if there are all high-quality songs like "becauseofyou", it would be fine to give you less money.
Or, if there is so much money, it doesn’t matter if the song is a little worse. Even if you can’t take up both ends like this time, you have to take up one end.
…
Farewell to Zhou Yan's studio for three days. Every day, she comes here in the morning and goes back in the evening, just like she goes to work.
These three days have not been spent in vain, and she finally recorded the sample of "becauseofyou".
This sample is very mature, and there is no problem even when it is released as a formal song.
Faye Wong was a little confused during the recording process. Why did she record the sample so well? It was a waste of time and energy.
However, considering that the song is of high quality and reward, she has no complaints.
After all, it is understandable that a genius like Zhou Yan is more demanding.
On the evening of April 21, Faye Wong finally completed all the work. While stretching her arms out, she asked Zhou Yan, "Then I don't have to come again after I go back today, right?"
"No need to come back for the time being, go back and wait for news. When recording the official version later, you need to come again." Zhou Yan said.
"Well, no problem, tell me in advance, I'll arrange the time. It took three days to record a sample, and I don't know how long it will take for the official version." Zhou Yan smiled, "As long as you keep in good condition, you won't take too much time to record the official, because most of the things have been done in these three days." "Oh, that's true." When the two went downstairs, they happened to meet Liu Hang's assistant Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng handed over a document, "Boss, Mr. Liu said, let you confirm the list of celebration banquets."
Zhou Yan nodded, took the documents and looked at them, and then signed them.
When Xiao Feng left, Faye Wong asked curiously, "What kind of celebration banquet is this?"
"""Time and Space Love Traveler" was released in Neon, so he got a celebration banquet."
"Oh, this movie was released in Neon." Faye Wong hasn't read the news recently and doesn't know about it.
However, when the movie was released in the mainland, she went to the cinema to watch it.
"Well, it was released on the 12th."
"The box office is very good? How much?"
"The news I got today said that it has been rationed by one billion."
"Billion?!" Faye Wong widened her eyes and couldn't believe it: "So much."
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Do you know Neon's box office?"
"I don't understand." Faye Wong shook her head: "I just think the number of billion is exaggerated."
"Billion is not RMB, it is neon coins."
"How much is a billion neon coins worth?"
"According to the current exchange rate, it is less than 10 million US dollars."
"That's also very impressive, it's only been a few days."
"It's not bad, this is the data for seven days." Zhou Yan nodded and smiled.
"This achievement is a celebration. When?"
"Mid next month."
"If I were in Yanjing then, could I come and have a free meal?"
"Of course there is no problem, welcome at any time."
"But tonight, I'll go to your cafeteria first." Zhou Yan was actually quite curious. Faye Wong doesn't usually take care of her children, and she doesn't rush to go back at night. She looks very leisurely every day.
But this is someone else's family business, so Zhou Yan didn't ask.
…
"Time and Space Love Traveler" was at the box office of Neon. In fact, Faye Wong can see it after paying a little attention to the news these days, because there are related reports everywhere in the past few days.
This time, "Traveler Love in Time" is really too strong, especially today's latest news, the movie's seven-day ration revenue has exceeded one billion Neon coins.
The key is that it is released at seven o'clock, and the box office in a single day is still strong. The box office of the second weekend has not been counted, but it will definitely not be bad.
When two days later, the box office will be counted again on the second weekend, and the data will rise a lot. Now many people are watching it, when will "Traveler Love in Time and Space" surpass "Spring of the Cowherd Class".
After exceeding "The Spring of the Cowherd Class", let's see when can I surpass "The Piano Boy Who Want to Fly" and "The Sixth Sense". (This chapter ends)
