Chapter 280 I cried while singing the soundtrack
When they learned that Zhang Wei had brought a new song, the three judges not only showed no expectation, but also showed unfavorable expressions.
"Zhang Wei, are you sure you want to sing a new song? This is a very risky thing for you." One of the judges said.
"The song "Suddenly Miss You So Much" that you sang during the audition was already a very exciting song, so we are also looking forward to your next performance. If you are about to sing If the new song is not satisfactory, we will be disappointed!" Another judge also said.
The meaning of the two judges is very obvious. The previous song "Suddenly Miss You So Much" is already a ceiling-level song. If you sing another new song, it will definitely not be as good as "Suddenly Miss You So Much". By then On the contrary, it will lower your rating.
Rather than that, it is better to sing "Suddenly Miss You So Much" again. With the bonus of the song, it is possible to squeeze into the top ten in the competition area.
Zhang Wei smiled nonchalantly: "My two good brothers carried me into the undecided group. I will definitely go all out and come up with the best song to participate in the competition. "
"Isn't your previous song "I Miss You So Much" good enough?" the judge asked immediately.
"That song is indeed great, but not the best. This song "You Are Not Really Happy" may not be the best either, but I think it is better than the previous song "Suddenly Miss You So Much" , is not inferior." Zhang Wei replied.
"Okay, please start your performance!" The three judges looked attentively.
Zhang Wei handed the music score to the music teacher at the scene and thanked him for his hard work.
For the 50-to-10 competition, the program team hired a band as the soundtrack, with a dedicated guitarist, pianist, drummer and bassist.
Standing in front of the microphone, Zhang Wei gave the music score teacher an OK gesture, and the music score immediately began to play the prelude.
“This intro sounds pretty good!” one of the judges commented.
"The crowd was crying, you just want to become a transparent color, you will never have dreams, pain, or heartbeat again..."
Just after singing the first line, the three judges' eyes lit up at the same time.
The previous song "Suddenly Miss You So Much" was more delicate in arrangement, and the whole song had a gradually progressive sense of layering.
In comparison, "You Are Not Really Happy" is more contagious in melody, creating a warm and slightly sad atmosphere, which can catch the listener's ears more quickly,< br>
In terms of lyrics, the lyrics of "Suddenly Miss You So Much" are more direct and simple, mainly describing the scene and inner monologue. The lyrics of "You Are Not Really Happy" are even more profound, depicting a confused image that seems to be happy but is actually painful inside.
For senior musicians, the profound emotional insight and healing music style of "You Are Not Really Happy" are even more bonus points.
"You are not truly happy. Your smile is just a protective color you wear. You decide not to hate or love anymore, and lock your soul in a body that is locked forever..."
Dang Zhang When Wei sang this line, the smile on the judge's face suddenly froze.
This lyric instantly resonated with him. At this moment, there seemed to be an invisible string, gently plucked in the melody of the music, and had a subtle connection with a corner deep in his heart. The connection will eventually become an emotional carrier.
He seemed to feel that this song was written for him, describing what he was going through, awakening his deep memories, and saying things he had never said.
“The world laughed, so you laughed together in a group, when survival was the rule, not your choice, so you walked with tears in your eyes, drifting, stumbling..."
The other two judges were also moved by this lyric. Not because of how gorgeous this lyric is, but because it is so real and evokes the softest place deep in their hearts.
Who can make a living out of music and prosper, who is not a gregarious person who laughs together? Who doesn’t see survival as a rule, not a choice?
In the eyes of outsiders, they are slightly famous musicians who drive luxury cars, live in mansions, go on programs, comment on contestants, and give advice to the country, looking like they are successful.
But in fact, they are wandering and stumbling, and they are not really happy.
These lyrics instantly captured the hearts of the three judges.
At the same time, the soundtrack team next to them also played harder. The guitarist, piano player, bassist, and drummer couldn't help but start shaking their bodies to the music. They seemed to be completely immersed in the song. You can even vaguely see that there is a little sparkle in the guitarist's eyes.
"You deserve real happiness. You should take off the protective colors you wear. Why should you be punished if you lose it? Can you just let all the sadness end at this moment and start living again!"
Zhang Wei almost shouted as he sang the last line of lyrics.
But the music did not stop. The orchestra finished playing the last few tunes, and the guitarist made a gesture of looking up to the sky and sighing.
The director backstage had noticed something strange about the soundtrack team, and he immediately said: "Camera No. 3, give the soundtrack a shot!"
The camera lens immediately focused on the soundtrack team, and the guitarist at this time had tears in his eyes. The bassist and piano player next to him also began to rub their eyes with their hands, as if wiping away tears.
The phrase "walking with tears in eyes, wandering and stumbling" has already touched them and made them feel the same.
Beijing drifters like them who play music are just like what Zhang Wei sang in this lyric. This simple lyric is like a key, opening the floodgates of their emotions, allowing them to recall the hardships of pursuing their music dreams in Beidiao over the years, as well as the difficulties and helplessness they have experienced.
The sense of resonance brought about by this moment is like finding a confidant in the vast sea of people. It comforts their souls and makes them feel that they are not alone. There is someone who resonates with them and someone who understands them. their feelings.
“Let all sorrow end at this moment, and start living again.” The last lyrics of Zhang Wei’s cry seemed to shout out their hearts and their hopes.
So when Zhang Wei sang the last line, they finally couldn't help but shed tears.
The live soundtrack was sung by Zhang Wei and made me cry!
Seeing this scene, the director couldn't help shouting: "Camera No. 3, for the panoramic view, Camera No. 4, for the close-up, to capture the crying one!"
However, the director He didn't notice that at the judges' table, all three judges were silent, as if their whole bodies were frozen. At this time, these three people all felt that this song was about themselves!
Modern people are running around and struggling for life all day long. Some of them are doing business worth tens of millions in a few minutes, and some are scrambling for a few yuan of coupons. The individual is truly happy.
It is almost an iron rule that adults use smiles and strength to disguise their inner fatigue and helplessness. Normal people will feel the profound emotional resonance and find their own shadow in this song.
This is especially true for those who have been in society for a while. Students or young people who have just entered society may not feel it, but there are seniors and juniors. , people who are burdened with the pressure of life can understand this deeply.
As the lyrics say, when the world laughs, even if you are not happy at all, you have to laugh together in a group, because this is the rule of survival, you have no choice!
This song is a depressive story that belongs to everyone. It seems to unfold the cold-blooded backside of your life and tell it to you, and this is the most resonant with the audience.
After the singing, Zhang Wei calmed down. He looked at the expressions of the three judges and realized in his heart that this competition was already stable. Like "Suddenly Miss You So Much", "You Are Not Really Happy" also comes from Mayday's 2008 turnaround "Poetry of Post-Youth", but this song "You Are Not Really Happy" is the real title song of the album. Mayday has high hopes.
This song also won the Golden Melody Award of the Year at the 2008 Beijing Pop Music Ceremony, which shows that the industry thinks highly of this song.
Mayday’s Ashin was nominated for the Golden Melody Award for Best Lyricist for this song, so the lyrics of this song are really well written.
It is also worth mentioning that the MV for "Are You Really Happy" was shot very well and won several MV awards. Many fans were made to cry after watching the MV. As a result, this song was also called "the most tear-jerking ballad" in 2008.
Mayday has many masterpieces, but this song "You Are Not Really Happy" can be regarded as the best among Mayday's masterpieces. Zhang Wei thought that based on the quality of this song, he was promoted to the top 10 in the competition area. It's definitely more than enough.
But I didn't expect this song to be so effective, it made the music teacher cry when he sang it.
"Three teachers, it's time to comment!" The host's reminder sounded, and the judges came to their senses.
"Teacher Zheng, you come first?"
"You should come first!"
The three people excused each other before starting to comment.
"Zhang Wei, the lyrics of your song are very well written and very connotative. I thought it was also a deep love song at first, but I didn't expect that this song explores the loneliness, pretense and emptiness of modern people. . The heavy and sad atmosphere you expressed in your music really resonated with me.
And your stage performance just now was also great, although the last sentence was a bit uncontrolled. The tone is good, but for the whole song, its flaws outweigh its flaws. If I were to rate this song, I would give it 100 points. Overall, I would give you a 90 points for your singing and stage performance! Score! ”
The first judge’s evaluation was very good.
The second judge said: "Zhang Wei, you surprised me again. Your song "Suddenly Miss You So Much" was already very good. I thought it was impossible for you to write it. You have produced equally good songs, but what I didn’t expect is that you can produce better works.
This song really touched me, and I can feel it from your songs. A true emotion that goes beyond the surface. I feel that every note is given life by you. The only flaw is your singing skills. I remember that when you auditioned, you seemed to have a cold. Is it because you haven't recovered from the cold. Ah!”
The judges handed over the steps again.
"Sickness comes like falling down from a mountain, and sickness goes away like spinning threads. Teacher, you are really right. My cold is not cured, and it affects my performance." Zhang Wei once again took advantage of the situation.
A few rolled their eyes at the judges immediately. This is a music talent show, and the judges are not the only ones who know music. Everyone can still tell whether he has a cold or is singing poorly.
But having said that, for such a good song, even if the singing skills are a little worse, it still makes sense to advance to the top ten.
……
After all the contestants finished singing, the judges began to discuss the final results, and then the fifteen contestants were called in front of the judges one by one to announce the final results.
Zhang Wei was very calm, and the judges’ on-site comments basically showed that he had successfully passed the test.
Furthermore, the competition between 50 and 10 in the division will be cut into a program and broadcast on the program "Come Soon Boys". If such a good song is not promoted, it will definitely be broadcast on the program. A large audience questioned the program team for being an insider.
If it is player factors, it can also be explained by personal preferences. For example, if you don't like a certain contestant's singing style, or don't like a certain contestant's stage performance, etc., being eliminated for these reasons is controversial, but it is easier to explain. After all, in the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets.
But if the song is good but is eliminated, then the program team will really be in trouble.
Just like Zeng Yi said, Getu, what does it have to do with me!
The same holds true in reverse, the song is good, why should you find fault with me!
The result of the competition was just as Zhang Wei expected. He successfully obtained a spot among the top ten in the Beijing Division.
The next competition will not be until next month, and the contestants will have more than a month to prepare.
It is a 10-to-1 competition. As long as you win the first place in the division, you can directly advance to the national finals.
The runner-up, as well as two other players to be determined, will enter a 48-hour breakout competition.
In this 48-hour breakout competition, the runner-up in each division, as well as two undecided contestants, eighteen people compete for the last six places to enter the national finals.
......
In the manager's room of an entertainment company, a young man was sitting on the sofa awkwardly.
This young guy is wearing a white T-shirt with some weird patterns printed on it. He wears a black vest outside the T-shirt and light gray jeans underneath. He is exactly like a Korean man from that era. Group's fashionable look.
His hairstyle also imitated the Korean boy band at the time, with long hair, long bangs, long sideburns, and a bit of brown dye.
Manager Chen looked at the young man and said: "Wang Bo, good job. You have advanced to the top 10 in the competition area. We did not waste the company sending you to South Korea for training for half a year. You have to win the competition next month. First in the competition!”
“Manager Chen, I’ll try my best!” the Korean guy said.
“It’s not about trying your best, it’s about necessity!” Manager Chen’s expression became serious, and he continued: “The company spent money to send you to South Korea for training, and also found connections to get you a Green Pass quota in the audition, just to let you Entering the national finals
Although you have signed with an entertainment company and it is unlikely that you will get a high ranking after entering the national finals, the company can take back your money as long as you enter the national finals. Invest! Do you understand? ”
"I understand!" The Korean guy nodded quickly.
"Okay, let's go back! There is still one month until the next game, so practice hard!" Manager Chen said.
After letting the Korean guy leave, Manager Chen called his subordinates again.
"How is the matter you were asked to do?" Manager Chen asked.
"The judges for the next competition have not been announced yet. However, apart from us, the thirteen expert judging panels, the other twelve have been confirmed, and I am planning to take care of them." His subordinate said.
Manager Chen nodded slightly: "We have to win at least six of the remaining twelve expert jury groups to ensure that we have the right to speak in the expert jury group, but it is best to win eight to avoid any surprises. < br>
In the next competition, only the first place can advance to the national finals, and the only place must be a singer signed by our company! ”
