Chapter 315 Treble Duel
The title of the song appeared on the big screen: "The Most Beautiful Sun".
"How could it be this song? It shouldn't be!" Zhang Wei was stunned, feeling a little confused.
The song "The Most Beautiful Sun" is Zhang Jie's work after participating in Kuaiman. In the 2007 Kuaiman draft, Zhang Jie was undoubtedly the top player. With the popularity brought by the competition, Zhang Jie released a mini album at the end of the year, the title song of which was "The Most Beautiful Sun".
This song was written and composed by the famous musician Liu Jining. He was once a member of the Earth Band. In 2001, he participated in the MTV Singer Competition and won the Best Singer, Best Original Song and National Singer Award. Champion, and won the silver medal in CCTV's Young Singer TV Competition.
After 2004, Liu Jining moved behind the scenes and became a music producer, and collaborated with many famous singers.
Liu Jining and Zhang Jie are good friends in private. He is the music director of Zhang Jie's two national tour concerts, "Fight for Love" and "I Want".
He will also appear in many music programs in the future, such as the first to fourth seasons of "I Am a Singer" and "The King of Masked Singer", where he is a music producer,
The first song Liu Jining collaborated with Zhang Jie was "The Most Beautiful Sun". This song was specially tailored for Zhang Jie. After its release, it appeared on the golden song list of the season.
So the two struck while the iron was hot and collaborated on another song, "The World". It was also this song that made Zhang Jie a top performer among young domestic entertainment singers.
What Zhang Wei didn't expect was that his appearance put more pressure on Jie Shao. The power of original songs was too great, so Jie Shao also found his friends, wrote an original song, and used In the most important final PK, "The Most Beautiful Sun" was born in advance.
This song was specially tailored for Jie Shao. Whether it is the music or the lyrics, the arrangement is very suitable for Jie Shao to display his own characteristics.
Although Mr. Jie's singing skills at this time were not as good as those of more than ten years later, his nickname of "Little Prince of High Tone" had already spread.
On a technical level, his treble is very stable, with pure timbre, no sharpness or harshness, a three-octave range, and the treble can reach B5.
This top-notch musical talent, coupled with a song tailor-made for him, made the performance effective instantly.
Even Zhang Wei couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart.
“My seat to see Mr. Jie perform is closer than the VIP area in the concert! Remember, the tickets for Mr. Jie’s concert start at 1,680 yuan for the best seats, so I still What a small profit! It would be even better if Mr. Jie sang "The World" and "Reverse War" together."
At this time, Mr. Jie quickly came to the voting data in the background. Half a million votes.
Jie Shao has always been the most popular player in Kuaiman, so it is normal for him to have a high number of votes outside the court. And this time Mr. Jie sang an original song tailor-made for himself.
This song "The Most Beautiful Sun" is originally a relatively popular song, and of course the audience is willing to buy it.
"It's over 500,000 votes. It's already over 500,000 votes before the song is finished. It might even exceed 1 million votes in the end!" the director reported the data.
"As expected of Mr. Jie, he really did not disappoint us. With such a high number of votes, he will definitely defeat Zhang Wei!" The planner also clenched his fists in excitement.
Hu Li sighed from the side: "It seems that the only thing that can beat original songs is original songs."
On the stage, Jie Shao's singing was at its best; It was also fully realized, and the climax of the song reached a high note unscrupulously.
“C5! Can actually grow a C5 sound!”
The judges looked at the introduction with admiration and were already conquered by his performance.
The audience's eyes widened even more, looking at the introduction on the stage with a mesmerized expression.
In the eyes of ordinary audiences, the higher the treble, the better the singing skills.
When Jie Shao was at his peak, he could sing the B5 note effortlessly. Today, he has not yet become a fully evolved body, but he can still sing a C5 high note with ease.
And in this amateur audition stage, the treble of C5 is definitely at the ceiling level and can conquer almost all audiences.
Let me explain here, the order from bass to treble is C, D, E, F, G, A, B, where C is the lowest bass and B is the highest pitch. Therefore, the pitch of B5 is higher than C5, and it is not only higher, but also has five notes: D5, E5, F5, G5 and A5 in the middle.
In traditional music, the highest register of a tenor is C5. When the world's three top tenors sing "My Sun", it reaches C5.
In popular songs, boys start from the F4 note, which is considered a high note. C5 is a touchstone to test the high pitch level of male singers. Singers who can sing C5 are considered good at singing high notes.
For female singers, C5 is considered the beginning of high notes, and F5 is considered the touchstone of high notes. If you can sing F5, you are a female singer who is good at singing high notes.
Based on this standard, Jie Shao can sing the B5 note. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a top tenor in the Chinese music world.
Let alone male singers, there are not many female singers who can taste the B5 sound, so Jie Shao is definitely a pure and talented singer.
Jie Shao's performance also gave Zhang Wei a sense of crisis.
Among all the contestants, Jie Shao’s popularity is already one of the best. After all, he is a singer who has already debuted. He already has a fan base. After a few games, his performance is also very good, and he has gained a lot more. Number of fans.
And this song "The Most Beautiful Sun" itself is also of very good quality, and it is one of his masterpieces. It can be regarded as the right person meeting the right song.
Coupled with the treble of this C5, it is an absolute bonus.
The general audience's musical literacy is not high, and they cannot tell which part of a song is difficult to sing. Many people simply think that high notes mean singing well, and the higher the high notes, the better the singing.
This can be seen from the first season of The Voice. The contestants are all singing high notes. The crazier they sing, the higher the discussion among the audience after the game, and the popularity of the contestants. The higher it is.
The C5-sounding song "The Most Beautiful Sun" is obviously in line with this point. It can be seen from the performance of the audience that they really like this.
"Master Jie is still strong. It seems that I have to change my strategy!" Zhang Wei took a deep breath and immediately called the devil:
"Devil, I spent five days before I exchanged four hours of lifespan for Zhou Shen’s talent. Now I plan to exchange two days of lifespan for one hour of Vitus’s talent. You’ve earned it!”
...
After Mr. Jie finished singing, the judges all praised him.
Backstage, the program planners have shown that they are sure of victory. Mr. Jie’s votes have exceeded 700,000. According to this trend, ordinary million is a sure thing.
"Breaking one million votes, Zhang Wei, let's see how you win!" The planner looked at one of the broadcast cameras, which happened to be focused on Zhang Wei.
"Zhang Wei, you have realized that you will lose the game this time, right? You must be suffering!"
As the program planner spoke, he looked at the playlist in his hand. Zhang Wei's last song happened to be called "Torture".
......
"I knew you were just a flying bird. After hugging, all that's left in your hands is feathers..."
Zhang Wei began to sing.
Hu Li was startled and said subconsciously: "Is this tone too high?"
"Turn it up high? What do you mean?" the planner asked from the sidelines.
Hu Li replied: "Judging from the music, the following parts of this song will be sung higher and higher. If it is played in the key of C, the highest note will be almost C5."
< br>"How high is the C5 note?" the planner asked.
“The highest note of Jie Shao’s song just now is C5.” Hu Li replied. "
"Isn't that the same high note as Master Jie? "The planner suddenly felt a little unhappy.
"I mean, if you tune it up to C, it will reach C5, but now he plays it up to F, and it has to be at least D5 to be able to hold it, which is one note higher than the song Jie Shao just played!" Hu Li then introduced.
"If he has to sing a higher note, can he sing it? Maybe he can't even sing the C5 note!" The planner looked doubtful.
"As soon as the heart beats, love begins to suffer, every minute, every second..." Zhang Wei's singing continued to come from the speaker, and by this time he had reached the C5 note.
"Obviously, he can sing up to the C5 note!" Hu Li said with a livid face.
"The fire is burning, how good it is to burn to ashes, call me missing, don't argue, I believe I am almost, almost forget you, and reconcile with loneliness!"
Zhang Wei's voice continued to come from the stereo.
“D5, he sang it!” Hu Li exclaimed.
After singing the first time, Zhang Wei really hit the D5 note.
This time it was the judges' turn to stare at Zhang Wei with wide eyes.
Jie Shao’s C5 note just now has conquered the judges. Among young singers, no one has been able to sing to this level for a long time.
When the judges thought they had just witnessed the ceiling of the young singer, they suddenly discovered that there was an attic above the ceiling!
In the contestant waiting area, Mr. Jie also showed a surprised expression. He was very satisfied with his performance just now, but he didn’t expect that the best will have its own best. Every mountain is higher than the next. Zhang Wei actually sang Reached the D5 sound.
As for the general audience, they once again showed a mesmerized expression.
Based on their understanding of music and the sensitivity of their ears, they cannot distinguish the two notes C5 and D5, but they can feel that Zhang Wei’s voice is also very high. In their perception Among them, as long as you hit the high notes, you have strength!
"The outcome is unpredictable again!" The planner subconsciously glanced at the voting data. Fortunately, Mr. Jie was still far ahead.
However, Zhang Wei on the stage was only halfway through singing. "If you can't get it, don't beg. You don't need anyone else to tell you what to do."
"It's high again!" Hu Li exclaimed.
“What’s so high again?” the planner asked immediately.
"The key is higher again, this time he used the key of G!" Hu Li replied.
"You just said that he played it in the key of F, and the highest note he sang was D5. Now that he plays it in the key of G, how high is the highest note he has to sing?"
"E5? F5? I don't know either! ”
Soon, Zhang Wei revealed the answer.
“As soon as the heart beats, love begins to suffer...”
“E5!”
"Every minute, every second!"
"It's still improving, it's F5!"
"The fire is burning, it would be great to burn it to ashes, just miss me, don't make a fuss!"
“G5, no, it seems to be A5!”
Hu Li was also a little unsure at this time. Although she was a music major, she had never heard someone singing G5 live. The treble above.
After all, the touchstone of treble for female singers is F5.
However, Zhang Wei’s voice was still rising.
“Is this the B5 sound?” Hu Li said to herself.
“Can’t you hear it?” The planner glared at Hu Li, and then said: “I have heard a foreign song, it seems to be sung by a Russian, what is the dolphin sound? His blindness Ouch, that sounds like it. "
" Opera 2? Are you talking about Vitas?" Hu Li was stunned for a second, and then exclaimed: "C6, it's mine! Oh my god, he can actually sing C6!”
...
Zhang Wei chose "Torture" for his third song, originally he wanted to hit a high note.
He also knows that in the eyes of ordinary audiences, being able to hit high notes means that you have good singing skills, so he chose a song that is easy to hit high notes to show his singing skills in front of ordinary audiences.
The song "Torment" is very suitable for soaring high notes. When the original singer Li Jiawei performed this song, she entered the room with the lowest C transliteration for girls, and the highest chorus reached the F5 range, which is the touchstone for girls' high notes. , the whole song spans the range of 16 true notes, and is very difficult.
There are not many songs that require the use of the F5 range, and this kind of singing spanning 16 ranges from low to high can also produce obvious contrast, allowing the audience to feel the shock of the high notes.
Later, in the audition of The Voice, contestant Zhao Han also sang this song. As a male singer, he sang the D5 high note, which also left a deep impression on the audience.
Later in a performance, JJ Lin and the original singer Li Jiawei sang the song "Torture" together. This song has also become a famous scene for JJ Lin. Because the key of the song is too high, JJ Lin sang it to the full. My head was sweating profusely, and I had to sing hard to finish the song. Li Jiawei, who was singing duet with him, almost couldn't stop laughing.
JJ Lin’s singing skills are undoubtedly at the top level, which is almost unstoppable, which shows that this song is already the human limit for high notes.
Zhang Wei redeemed Zhou Shen's talent. He felt that Zhou Shen's level was enough to master the song "Torture".
However, Jie Shao came up with a song "The Most Beautiful Sun", which showed the male singer's ceiling C5 treble, which forced Zhang Wei to change his plan.
Since your highlight is the treble, I will beat you with the treble, which is the most convincing.
When it comes to high notes, among male singers, if Vitas is second, no one dares to be first!
Vitas not only has an ultra-wide vocal range of five octaves, but also has the iconic dolphin sound.
What does the C5 sound mean to Vitas? The F5 note is also a piece of cake. Even the B5 note can be played with just opening your mouth, without any challenge.
It is said that Vitas' highest note can be an octave higher than the keys of a piano.
In actual performances, Vitas sang the B6 note, but it was basically a whistling sound similar to a whistle.
In fact, when it comes to the E6 sound of human vocalization, it is already similar to the sound of animals. Therefore, there is a saying that someone's singing voice is like a lark, which is basically the kind of girl with a high pitch, because when the human pitch is high, it really sounds like a bird.
Vitas is called the little prince of dolphin sounds, and it is not a nickname given randomly. You will understand when you go to the aquarium and listen to the dolphins' calls, and then listen to Vitas' high notes. Why does he have this nickname?
In real singing, of course, the dolphin-like sound is not used. The C6 note is already the limit. Vitas’ famous song "Opera 2" uses the C6 note.
Now, Zhang Wei used the C6 note to sing the song "Torture" which is very suitable for soaring high notes. The effect is naturally much better than the original F5 note.
More importantly, this is C6 sound!
The three judges at the scene were completely stunned and didn't know what to say.
When Zhang Wei sang the D5 note just now, they felt that this was already an attic on the ceiling.
Next, Zhang Wei raised another note and sang E5. Only then did they discover that it turned out that the attic was not restored, but a floor was added directly.
Then the F5 sound is covered with two layers; the G5 sound is covered with three layers; the A5 sound is covered with four layers...
Do you dare to come here to build an illegal building?
By the time Zhang Wei reached the B5 note, the judges were already numb with shock.
In the Chinese music scene, there are actually male singers who can sing the B5 note. If they hadn’t heard it with their own ears, they would never believe it.
Even if they heard it with their own ears, they still couldn’t believe it, it was a B5 sound!
Other male singers who can sing a C5 note have already succeeded in the trial and become excellent soprano singers.
And you raised a whole six notes. Are you grinding the trial stone into a needle?
It’s incredible!
However, the B5 note is not the end point. In the highest part of the song, they actually heard the C6 note!
The C5 note of the male high school sword tester is one octave higher!
In front of the C6 sound, Jie Shao’s C5 sound just now was like a kindergarten kid pretending to be a family wine.
Is this still human?
Am I dreaming?
One judge even pinched his arm secretly. It hurt, it was real!
So next, how to comment?
That is the C6 sound. With our level, how can we comment on the C6 sound?
Isn’t this asking the roadside food stall chef to comment on the cuisine of the state banquet?
I am just as good as a tomato and an egg. You want me to review a three-star Michelin dish?
In the waiting area, Mr. Jie looked at Zhang Wei on the stage. After being shocked, he turned into a look of admiration.
For me, the C5 note is a high-level performance, but for Zhang Wei, the C5 note is just the beginning, and then every sentence gets higher, and finally reaches the C6 note.
Facing the C6 note, it was an octave higher than myself, and I was convinced to lose!
What a treble little prince, look at people, this is the real treble.
Losing to such an opponent, Master Jie not only felt unjust, but also felt somewhat honored in his heart.
Zhang Wei is willing to use the C6 sound to compete with himself, which obviously recognizes his performance. Although the game was lost, it was also gratifying to be recognized by the opponent and let the opponent go all out.
The audience's reaction was more direct. They picked up their mobile phones one after another and began to vote for Zhang Wei.
In the perception of ordinary audiences, whoever can hit a higher note still has better singing skills.
Even if you are a cross talk artist, as long as you sing a piece of "Calling Xiao Fan" and sing it high, the audience will think that your Peking Opera singing is very good.
Now in this treble contest, Zhang Wei's treble beats Jie Shao by an entire octave. The audience naturally feels that Zhang Wei sings better.
Since you sing better, let’s vote!
Especially the many viewers who have just voted for Mr. Jie, they will feel that since Mr. Jie’s singing is worthy of my vote, does Zhang Wei, who sings better, be more worthy of my vote? ticket.
This is the effect of a straight-ball duel, no ambiguity, no strategy, the most direct and straightforward confrontation face to face.
You punch, I punch, you kick, I kick. If the same moves are used, it will be clear who falls and who remains. The winner is clear at a glance.
You sing high notes, and I also sing high notes. We are not better than others, just high notes. Whoever has a higher high note among us is the winner, simple and clear. This way you can win easily and lose calmly.
On the SMS voting data board in the background, Zhang Wei's votes rose rapidly, and he surpassed Young Master Jie in the blink of an eye...
