One person's entertainment

Chapter 88, Ready to Go

Spark, office building.

"Because I just happened to meet you

Leaving footprints is beautiful

The wind blows and the flowers shed tears like rain

Because I don’t want to be separated…”

In the original time and space, the question of "Who is Gao Jin" once caused heated discussion on the Internet.

You may not have heard of this name, but you must have heard his songs.

Gao Jin wrote the lyrics and composed the music for popular songs such as "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", "Just Met You" and "Don't Think About Her". He can be said to be the man who single-handedly completes the playlists of three generations.

He can't play any musical instrument, but has composed more than 400 songs. He has been labeled "rustic" since his debut. Some music critics said that "his works are superficial", and a music anchor commented that "his works are not rustic enough", and a singer even said "If I hear his songs in a restaurant, I will leave immediately."

Whether his songs are rustic or not, perhaps everyone has a different answer in their hearts.

“Is this song tacky?”

"Why is it so earthy?"

Wu Xianliang didn't know why Shen Lingyou asked this.

Is it because the lyrics are relatively simple?
However, the lyrics of many hit songs are like this.

I scratched my hair, unable to figure it out.

Shen Lingyou smiled, the answer was actually not important.

In his opinion, Gao Jin's musical style is unique in the Chinese music scene. His creative ideas are flexible and diverse. He can easily write songs in ancient, pop, rap and other styles, and has supported many singers.

What does it matter whether it is soil or not?

The so-called "local and foreign", "vulgar and elegant", essentially, do not have specific rules to distinguish. They are all relatively subjective judgments, influenced by personal environment, culture, preferences and other factors.

“Is this song okay?”

Zeng Xiaolai's voice pulled Shen Lingyou back to his senses, and he said seriously, "The chorus is still a little off. The switching between high and low notes, true and false voices, is not particularly smooth. Listen to me singing..."

He demonstrated it himself.

This is a rare song by Li Yugang that is not performed in a female voice or in an opera style.

It’s difficult to say, it is quite difficult. It takes some effort to sing with that flavor.

What's interesting is that Zeng Xiaolai's comprehension in singing is actually higher than that in acting. She can sort out and integrate the knowledge points that Shen Lingyou talks about every time. Now she listened to Shen Lingyou's demonstration, pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "I understand, do it again."

This time I sang much better.

Shen Lingyou talked about a few more points, and Zeng Xiaolai then sang it three times before the song was recorded.

The three songs, "Just Met You", "The New Drunken Concubine" and "Ode to Pear Blossom", took a whole week to record.

But for her, it was efficient enough.

"Singing seems to be a little easier than acting." Zeng Xiaolai said this after coming out of the recording studio.

"Right." Shen Lingyou smiled and said, "I told you long ago that there is no problem at all for you to debut as a singer."

"But I still prefer songs with operatic singing, which are much easier to sing." The reason why Zeng Xiaolai left the Peking Opera Troupe was not because he no longer liked Peking Opera, but because the Peking Opera industry was in a downturn, there were very few performance opportunities, and the corresponding treatment was poor. Over time, he felt that his future was bleak.

"Indeed, your opera singing is amazing." Shen Lingyou shared the same opinion as her.

While the two were talking, Wu Xianliang invited the members of the Blue Ocean Band to go into the recording studio together.

After a while, music and singing sounded at the same time.

"I will love you even to death
It’s not pleasant if it’s not vivid and vivid.
No matter how deep the feelings are, this is the only way
"Love Until Death" is a model of high notes in Chinese pop songs. The chorus part lasts for C3 (high C) and the highest note reaches D3 (high D).

The first sentence has a higher pitch range, is mainly composed of minor-key backbone notes, has a slower tempo, and has greater ups and downs in the melody line.

To the extent that Wu Xianliang broke his voice as soon as he came on stage.

"Aliang, have you mastered it?" Shen Lingyou said with a smile.

"Uh...this...was a mistake..." Wu Xianliang said with a red face.

The band members behind him were trying hard to hold back their laughter; it was the first time they had seen him so embarrassed.

"Aliang, high notes cannot be sung by shouting. The correct way to sing high notes is to use the technique of mixed resonance, which is also called mixed voice."

Shen Lingyou's current level is enough for Wu Xianliang to teach: "If you use the wrong throat force method to sing high notes, there will be no beauty, the pitch will be off, and the microphone will explode. Remember, if you want to sing high notes well, you must learn to use pharyngeal sounds to make our voices more penetrating and more metallic..."

In terms of singing comprehension, Wu Xianliang is not as good as Zeng Xiaolai, but fortunately his comprehension and acceptance abilities are still acceptable, and he just needs more practice.

Compared to him, the other members of the Blue Ocean Band do not have this problem. They mainly focus on playing instruments, and as for singing, it is enough if they do not sing out of tune, because they usually sing in harmony.

He is different, he is the lead singer, the soul of a band, and is directly responsible for the creative core and musical style of the entire band.

Therefore, Shen Lingyou asked Wu Xianliang to learn and practice systematically, instead of just shouting and singing randomly like before.

"I understand, Brother Shen." Wu Xianliang nodded heavily.

He is several years older than Shen Lingyou, and he calls Shen Lingyou "brother". On the one hand, it is because Shen Lingyou is his boss and he is not used to being addressed as "boss" or "CEO"; on the other hand, it is because he admires Shen Lingyou's talent and regards him as an idol and role model.

Besides, Shen Lingyou was so good to them, signing contracts with them and providing them with resources.

After being in the music industry for so long, I finally have the potential to make a debut. Before, I was nothing.

"I'll Love You Until I Die" is not much easier to sing than "I Believe", and it is unlikely to record it well in just a few takes.

Shen Lingyou was thinking that he would start filming "Never Close Your Eyes" in a few days. Before that, he would try his best to deal with all the matters concerning the song and then concentrate on filming.

His new album was finished, and Zeng Xiaolai's three songs were also finished, leaving only one song by Blue Ocean Band and three songs by Jiang Qinqin.

Jiang Qinqin was unable to spare the time, so she could only wait until the filming of "My Fair Princess" was finished before coming back to record.

Time flies and it is April 4th.

At 9:30 in the morning, Xinghuo's conference room was full of people.

All the main creators of "Never Forget" were present to participate in the script reading session.

Chang Li and Yu Caijun, deputy director of the Golden Shield Film and Television Culture Center, also came. They came mainly to listen.

Many of the people present were meeting each other for the first time, so polite introductions and greetings were inevitable.

Among them, the most eyes fell on Shen Lingyou.

Most people find it hard to believe that this script was written by him.

Writing songs and writing scripts have nothing in common. Even Qiong Yao only writes lyrics.

In fact, one of the key factors that makes Shen Lingyou so surprising is his "age".

He is currently 19 years old and will turn 20 in a few months.

At this age, showing such outstanding talent would give people a sense of astonishment.

Especially Zhao Baogang and Yu Feihong, because they have tried to write scripts and know how difficult it is, they can appreciate the strength of Shen Lingyou.
