Chapter 314 I’m here to show off my skills
Backstage, the program planner looked at the broadcast screen and listened to the singing voice coming from the speakers, his face livid again.
The reality once again deviated from the script he designed. He originally thought that Zhang Wei would be assigned a partner who could not speak Mandarin, and Zhang Wei could only sing Cantonese songs. However, he did not expect that Zhang Wei would take another approach. In this way, one of the two people sings in Mandarin and the other sings in Cantonese.
But if you calm down and listen carefully, this song is pretty good.
There are not many songs sung in Mandarin and Cantonese. The main reason is the difference in language. Forcing two different languages together will make the singing effect worse.
Therefore, many Cantonese songs will have a special Mandarin version. When singing, singers will also use different performance methods to show the charm of the songs.
Sometimes, even if the same lyrics are sung in Cantonese, they will feel very good, but if they are sung in Mandarin, they will not have the same flavor. Similarly, if many Mandarin songs are sung in Cantonese, it will feel very awkward.
Therefore, the lyrics of some songs are different between the Mandarin version and the Cantonese version. For example, the lyrics of the Mandarin version of Zhou Huajian's "The Hard Sutra" have been modified.
Some songs simply use one tune and write two sets of lyrics, one in Cantonese and one in Mandarin.
The most typical one is Eason Chan. The Mandarin version of "Today Next Year" is "Ten Years", the Mandarin version of "Under Mount Fuji" is "Love Transfer", and the Mandarin version of "White Rose" is "Red Rose" ", there are more than a dozen songs like this, all with rewritten lyrics.
In the music world, kings like Eason Chan need to re-write lyrics when switching between Mandarin and Cantonese. This shows that it is very difficult to sing a song in Mandarin and Cantonese well.
The most famous song that combines Mandarin and Cantonese is "Break Up with Good Will" sung by Wang Leehom and Lu Qiaoyin. At that time, there was still some market for Cantonese songs. After Cantonese songs gradually declined, duet songs in Mandarin and Cantonese became relatively rare.
This time Zhang Wei chose the song "Bauhinia in Bloom". This song was specially created by CCTV to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland. The original singers were Li Ronghao and Gigi Leung. One of them sang Mandarin and the other sang Cantonese.
As a comeback tribute song produced by CCTV, "Bauhinia in Bloom" is of high quality in both composition and lyrics.
What’s more important is that 2007 is the tenth anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to the motherland, and the date of this competition happens to be June 29. There are only two days left before the tenth anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to the motherland. It is suitable to sing this song. A return song.
It was also because of this special meaning that Zhang Wei was sure that Queen Rongzu would not reject this song.
In this world, if you sing a song with this kind of theme, no matter how big a celebrity you are, no matter how difficult you are to serve, you will never refuse.
......
Although the planner's expression was not good, he still had confidence in his heart. After all, the judges had already said hello. Even if Zhang Wei sang this song well, The three judges will not vote for Zhang Wei.
Hu Li listened to the lyrics with a thoughtful expression on her face.
"These lyrics are all about loving to persevere. Love is as deep as personal kindness. It sounds like a love song, but something feels wrong."
Hu Li did not react at the first time. The lyrics said "Love" is not the relationship between men and women, but the love for Hong Kong.
While Hu Li was still thinking about the lyrics, Zhang Wei on the stage had already finished singing, and the next step was the judges' comments.
Before the judges could speak, Zhang Wei took the lead and said: "Today is June 29, and the day after tomorrow is the tenth anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, so I wrote this song specifically to express my appreciation for this history. Celebration of the moment
The redbud is the city flower of Hong Kong. The redbud is in full bloom. Hong Kong is wrapped in the warm sunshine of the motherland. We are dreaming together, under the same starry sky, and setting sail for a bright future under the same roof. ! ”
Following Zhang Wei's two explanations, the audience immediately burst into warm applause.
However, only one of the three judges applauded, and the other two just nodded slightly, with calm expressions, obviously not taking Zhang Wei's explanation to heart.
Because only one of the three judges is a mainland musician, and the other two, one is from the other side of the Taiwan Strait and the other is from Malaysia, they are indifferent to this important historical moment of the tenth anniversary of the handover.
At this time, the two people are still thinking about voting for others in accordance with the requirements of the program team. Zhang Wei must not be directly promoted in this round.
Backstage, Hu Li had a look of surprise; "No wonder the lyrics of this song feel a little strange. It doesn't sound like a love song, and it doesn't sound like a lyrical song. If it is a gift for the 10th anniversary of the return of If it's a song, that makes sense.
No wonder Teacher Rong Zu is so big-hearted and willing to accommodate a newcomer like Zhang Wei. No Hong Kong singer would refuse to sing a song with this theme at this time. ”
“So what if the theme is good? The planner curled his lips and continued: "The promotion has nothing to do with him. Not only will you not be able to advance in this round, you will also not be able to advance in the next round. Just go to the final PK honestly! ”
As the planner said, only one of the three judges voted for Zhang Wei, and the other two voted for Zhang Wei to be determined. With a two-to-one vote, Zhang Wei could only vote for the time being. To be determined.
Hearing the host announce the result, Zhang Wei was not depressed, but smiled slightly.
"A bunch of idiots, if I were allowed to advance directly, there might be less. For some troubles, you have to let me wait for a decision. Isn't this taking the initiative to hand me the knife? The crew of this show has been targeting me every day for three days. This time, it was finally my turn to fight back! ”
...
In this round of competition, two players were selected by the referee and directly advanced to the semi-finals. Jie Shao entered the final PK because he had the lowest number of off-site votes, while Zhang Wei had to compete with another player Su Xing. A round of PK is conducted, and the winner advances to the final PK.
Su Xing sang a song "Shuffle", which helped Li Jiuzhe get a nomination for the Best Newcomer Award. It is considered his famous work.
Su Xing’s voice is very suitable for singing this song, and his performance was also very good, winning a lot of applause.
It was Zhang Wei’s turn next. When he stood on the stage, the name of the song also appeared on the big screen: Dara Meng Bar.
"Dalabeng, right? This song title is so weird!"
"It feels like reciting a spell, similar to Mali Mali Cou."
"Look at this song title. , I have no idea what this song is about.”
At this time, the prelude sounded, and the rock-like intro was quite dynamic.
Backstage, Hu Li looked at the lyrics with a baffled expression.
"A long time ago, a giant dragon suddenly appeared, bringing disaster, taking away the princess and disappearing. What the hell are these lyrics? A children's song?"
As soon as Hu Li finished complaining, Zhang Wei at the front desk had already started singing. . It was also at this moment that Hu Li's expression suddenly changed.
"This voice? How is it possible!"
The voice coming out of Zhang Wei's throat turned out to be a voice similar to that of a little girl.
Not only Zhang Wei, but everyone present, including the judges and the audience, were all shocked.
"Is this Zhang Wei's voice?"
"How did he make the voice of a little girl?"
Before everyone recovered, Zhang Wei's voice changed again. Once it was the voice of a young male.
"His voice has changed. It is completely different from before. They are two people!"
However, after just two lines of lyrics, Zhang Wei's voice changed back to that of a little girl.
"Oh my god, his voice has changed back again. How did he do it?"
Doubts flashed through everyone's mind, but Zhang Wei's voice changed back to that of a young man, and nervously Then, another adult male voice appeared, rich and powerful.
“Did you hear that? A third voice! There can be a third voice!”
One person uses three voices in the same song, which is beyond the limit. Everyone’s cognition.
Backstage, Hu Li, who had just complained that this was a children's song, was already dumbfounded.
Looking at the lyrics alone, it does look like a children's song, but when Zhang Wei sang it, Hu Li had already realized that this was not a children's song at all, it was Yi Wang Zha!
Besides, the planner obviously didn't realize this. After all, he didn't study music, so he didn't know the difficulty of this kind of voice change. He just thought this way of singing sounded interesting.
“Make some weird things to impress the public!” The planner curled his lips with disdain.
"Grandstanding? This is not grandstanding! Just singing these three different timbres is very difficult, not to mention the need to switch between different timbres." Hu Li explained.
"Is this difficult?" the planner asked.
"It's very difficult, and I think Zhang Wei came here deliberately for us." Hu Li paused, then said: "Before, we asked someone to write an article saying that Zhang Wei's voice was ordinary, but now he sings After hearing this song, who would say that his voice is ordinary? Those articles criticizing Zhang Wei’s voice are now nonsense!
Now it seems that this is Zhang Wei’s counterattack! Usually, he would choose the song "The Wind Rises" to show off his singing skills. Some people said that his timbre was average, so he would use three timbres in one song to show off his timbre. All those articles written by someone were in vain."
While the two were talking, Zhang Wei had already sang the lyrics of the dragon, and a fourth voice appeared!
“There is a fourth voice!”
“It’s Bel Canto. Not only does it have a fourth voice, but it’s also a bel canto singing method!”
The shock just now has not passed yet, and a new shock has come.
“He’s showing off!” Hu Li exclaimed.
Regardless of what this song is like, Zhang Wei used four timbres and two singing methods, which is obviously a clear show of singing skills.
In front of the TV, countless viewers heard such a song and saw this singing method for the first time.
Many of them are MPS fans and are very familiar with popular songs from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places, but this is the first time they heard it. It turns out that the songs can be sung like this!
"Yesterday, someone posted in the forum, saying that among the remaining five contestants, Zhang Wei's voice was the most mediocre. How mediocre is this? One person used four different voices, and each voice sounded so mediocre. Okay, who in the Chinese music scene can have such a unique timbre?”
“Those so-called masters on the Internet are really unreliable. They say that their singing skills are average and their timbre is ordinary. They are talking nonsense. I can’t listen to these idiots’ nonsense!”
“If I close my eyes, I definitely don’t believe that this is a song sung by a person. Those who don’t know think it is listening to a song. A musical!" Four different voices appear in one song at the same time, which really gives people the feeling of a musical.
However, this is not the end of the song. Zhang Wei's singing has reached the bel canto coloratura singing part.
"So Darabeng, Bedibedib Dobiruun, chopped at Kuntukutakatikotsuwa Silason, and then Kuntukutakatikaotesuwasirasun, bit Darabeng Bade Bedib Dobiluong, and finally Darabeng Bade Bedib Dobiruong, he defeated Kuntukutakatikotsuwa Silason..."
Zhang Wei's voice became louder and louder.
"One, two, three, four, five, six..."
Hu Li counted silently in her heart, her expression became more and more shocked, and gradually , this shock gradually transformed into an incredible color.
“Eleven, twelve!”
Zhang Wei's singing finally came to an end, and the silent number in Hu Li's heart also reached the number "12".
"Twelve, actually twelve, how is it possible, how is this possible! How did he do it!" Hu Li murmured to herself.
"What twelve?" The planner looked at Hu Li, only to find that Hu Li's eyes were dull and she was still immersed in her own world.
The planner had no choice but to poke Hu Li with his elbow, and then asked: "Director Hu, what did you just say twelve? What is impossible!"
"Twelve C6 jumps Sound, did you hear it just now? Twelve C6 skips! With such a fast rhythm and such dense changes, there are actually twelve C6 skips! Can anyone really do it? Hu Li stared at the broadcast screen, and her whole body trembled involuntarily as she spoke.
"What is the C6 skip?" The planner scratched his head inexplicably: "Forget it, you don't have to explain it to me, I don't understand it anyway."
Hu Li then said: "This The vocal range of the song originally dropped by three octaves. If it can be sung smoothly, it is already very good. In the middle, the speed of the lyrics must be adjusted and the tone must be quickly switched. The key is the 12 C6 skips, which are 99 in China. % of singers can’t do this. After Zhang Wei sang this song, he could become a god directly!” .
......
Without Zhou Shen's talent, Zhang Wei would not have dared to challenge this song "Dalabengba".
When Zhou Shen sang this song on "Singer", it really amazed everyone, and Zhou Shen also won the first place with this song.
At that time, the singers in that period had already reached the knockout stage, and the contestants all showed their ability to beat the competition. Although the contestants were all young singers, they were all capable singers. It might be an exaggeration to say that it was a fight between gods. But there is absolutely no weakling.
It was in that game that Zhou Shen directly became a god with the song "Dalabengba".
One person shares multiple roles, using different voices to convert each other. The real and false voices are seamlessly connected. Coupled with the twelve C6 jumps, it is a complete show off of skills.
On a stage like "Singer", facing so many powerful singers, daring to show off his skills and successfully showing off his skills is a pure display of strength.
And Zhou Shen's singing also brought great popularity to the song "Dalabengba". Although this is a two-dimensional song, it is not in the ranks of mainstream pop songs.
But with Zhou Shen’s singing, this song ranked first in the most searched, most popular, first in entertainment and first in the entire site on Bilibili; No.1 in the hot search on Hupu; and No.1 in the hot search on NetEase Cloud. 1. Migu music is the most searched, QQ music is searched first, Weibo is searched first
Two-dimensional music is also well known to ordinary listeners.
When Zhang Wei redeemed Zhou Shen's talent from the devil, he planned to put the song "Dalabengba" on the stage.
No matter whether this two-dimensional song can be accepted by the general public, let’s show off our skills first!
Don’t those music critics on the Internet say that my voice is average? Then let me show you, are there enough in one song? Is the seamless timbre change enough?
Didn’t music critics say that my singing skills were average? Then I’ll sing a song with three octaves and twelve C6 jumps. Is this singing enough?
If you dare to criticize me, I will dazzle you with my skills!
......
Whether it is on the spot or in front of the TV, people who know music can see that Zhang Wei is purely showing off his skills.
Those music critics who used to be paid to write articles now want to find someone to slip into.
Twelve C6 skips, do you think this means my singing skills are average? A variety of sounds are seamlessly connected. Do you think the sound is ordinary?
Are you deaf?
As soon as Zhang Wei's performance ended, a well-known music critic picked up the phone and dialed a phone number.
The result is busy.
After waiting for a minute, he dialed the number again, but it was still busy. After another minute, he dialed the number a third time and finally got through.
"Hey, Editor Liu? Can the article I submitted to you on Tuesday be retracted?"
"Teacher Sun, why do you want to retract it too?" The other party was curious. ask.
"Yeah? You mean, besides me, there are other people who have retracted the manuscript?"
"Isn't that right? Counting you, this is already the fifth one. They are all The people who called me just now said they wanted to retract the article. Is there something wrong?" the editor asked curiously.
"There's nothing wrong with it. I just feel that this article is not written rigorously, so it's better to take it down!"
Of course he can't say that after watching this program, he was slapped in the face, in order not to be embarrassed. , so quickly withdraw the manuscript.
The editor replied: "Okay, you are the author of the article. Since you want to retract the article, I will tear it down for you. But there is one thing I have to explain to you. If you retract the article, , we can only remove it from our website. If it has been reposted by other websites, we can’t remove it here!”
“What? There are other websites reposting it?” Teacher Sun suddenly asked. I feel like the sky is falling!
The reputation I finally accumulated is going to be ruined!
...
After Zhang Wei finished singing, he stayed on the stage. Contestant Su Xing was also invited up. The two stood side by side, waiting for the result of the PK.
Su Xing stepped forward and hugged Zhang Wei, saying congratulations in his mouth. Apparently he also realized that he had lost the PK.
Zhang Wei has shown off his skills like this, no one can win!
However, it was not the on-site judges or SMS voting that decided the result of this competition, but the 31 public judges.
At this time, more than a dozen members of the public jury received text messages on their mobile phones.
Then the voting started. At first, the two people had one vote, and they seemed very anxious. However, after twenty votes, several public jury groups did not vote for Zhang Wei.
In the end, Zhang Wei only received 14 votes. Faced with this result, the audience was of course in an uproar.
You have already shown off your skills to such an extent. When you sing this song like this, you are already considered a god, but you can’t win!
Are all these public juries deaf?
Are you doing something shady?
Backstage, Hu Li looked slightly nervous. She asked, "Is it really okay for us to do this? Isn't it too obvious?"
"Don't forget, The leader has given a fatal order not to let Zhang Wei enter the top three. This is a 5-for-4 match. If Zhang Wei cannot be eliminated, there will only be a 4-for-3 chance." The planner said.
“But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhang Wei’s performance is indeed much better, and public opinion will question us for being a shady person.” Hu Li continued to ask.
The planner pouted disdainfully: "It's not me who voted, it was the public reviewers. They are unfair. It's none of our business. At worst, we will make an announcement in the next issue and replace all the public reviewers. Drop! ”
The show planners have made up their mind to let the public jury take the blame.
Hu Li then said: "There are some of our people in these public judging panels, right? What if they are picked out?"
"Don't worry, I'm looking for everyone this time. They are outsiders, all chosen from the project contractors, not from our company. I have long been on guard against getting into trouble!" the planner said confidently.
“I don’t think you should be happy too early. Don’t forget that there is still a final PK. The final PK depends on off-site text messaging voting. When it comes to the off-site voting, Zhang Wei has never Lost." Hu Li continued.
"Isn't Zhang Wei relying on original songs to gain popularity? He is not the only one who has original songs! If he can have it, others can too!" the planner replied.
"Do you realize that Master Jie also wrote original songs?" Hu Li was shocked.
"Yes, I have been keeping it a secret before, and now the final PK is about to begin. I won't hide it from you. For this competition, Mr. Jie specially found a musician and customized a set for him. Song. "
The planner said and handed the song to Hu Li.
"Liu Jining writes lyrics and music. Is this Liu Jining Xiao Ning from the Dadi Band?" Hu Li asked.
“I don’t know, I’m not familiar with people in the music circle as you are.” The planner shook his head.
"His creative ability is quite strong. The song "Love Is Broken Apart" won MTV's Best Original Song. If he had written the song, coupled with Jie Shao's singing, maybe it would really be a success. Beat Zhang Wei!" Hu Li continued.
......
Finally the PK began, and the "Little Prince of Treble" Jie Shao took the lead on the stage.
The song he was about to sing appeared on the big screen.
Zhang Wei was startled when he saw the song title.
"Holy shit, why is this song? No, it's only the end of June, this song shouldn't appear at this time!"
