Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 277 "I Am a Singer" Challenge (4/4)

At eight o'clock in the morning, Shen Yan returned to his room from the gym, covered in sweat...

The filming crew of "I Am a Singer" was already blocking the door. Shen Yan said, "No, I just finished running. Give me half an hour!"

"Brother, do you run every morning?"

"...it depends," Shen Yan answered casually, "it depends on whether I have work in the morning... Usually if I don't have work, I'll run for an hour..."

Entering the room, Shen Yan took off his coat and vest...

"Wow, you have a great body!"

“…No, I need to take a shower, please stop filming…”

"Can we take a photo of the room then?"

"Well, take any photo!"

As he spoke, Shen Yan took his change of clothes and went into the bathroom...

“Can I turn on the computer?”

"…casual…"

Waving his hand, Shen Yan closed the bathroom door...

Then Shen Li said to the camera: "Let's go see my brother's study!"

The photographer immediately followed her into the room...

The study… was very simply furnished, with only three books: "The Rite of Initiation," "Crime and Punishment," and "I and the Earthen Altar." I had only read half of "I and the Earthen Altar."

Shen Li began to introduce the work, "Crime and Punishment, a work by Dostovsky. Mr. Lu Xun once said, 'Marx's Capital, Dostovsky's Crime and Punishment, and so on, were not written after a few minutes of coffee and Egyptian cigarettes.' He praised Dostovsky as 'a cruel genius who interrogates the human soul.' My brother has always loved it. He read it several times in high school. I didn't expect he still has it with him now!"

"'The Rite of Initiation' is the work of Mr. Wang Zengqi, I haven't read it..."

"I and the Altar of Earth, by Shi Tiesheng... My brother has always loved reading, and he bought a bunch of books for his study back home..."

"Computer...what are we looking at?"

She opened the computer, which had a password… She called out, “Brother, what’s the password?”

“Grandpa’s birthday!”

"Ok!"

Shen Li skillfully entered a string of numbers, then logged into the computer and saw that the screensaver was a photo of him and Shi Shi - a very intimate one!
“Stop filming.”

It's too late...

“…It’s okay, I can just cut it out later…” Shen Li was very calm and found the music player: “Let’s see whose songs my brother listens to!”

Wow, Wang Sulong, Xu Liang, Xu Song and even Phoenix Legend...

"My brother's taste in music... is real!"

"What's wrong with my taste?" Shen Li turned her head and saw Shen Yan walking in while wiping his hair...

"So fast?"

"How slow can a shower be... Let's go downstairs and have breakfast!"

"Okay!" Shen Li closed the computer and asked, "Why do you listen to such non-mainstream music?"

"The three giants of QQ Music..." Shen Yan laughed. "It's very useful to learn from them for being able to make it as an online singer... Their songs are ranked very high, which shows their talent that can't be concealed! Especially Xu Liang, he has a great talent for melody, and can be listened to as pure music..."

"What about your song?"

"I..." Shen Yan smiled and didn't respond...

Shen Li remembered the screen saver and reminded him. Shen Yan's face changed slightly. Just as he was about to speak, the photographer who was following him said, "It's okay. We will cut this part out later!"

“…Well, let’s eat first!”

……

The production team of "I Am a Singer" has officially announced that Shen Yan is the first challenge singer and will appear in the third episode... which has sparked a lot of discussion.

So far, Shen Yan has not sung any difficult songs.

In addition to the theme song "If I Can" of "Love Through the Millennium".

That song has a lot of hits and downloads, but its KTV on-demand rate is very low...

Or is it because it is too difficult!
In order to increase the dramatic tension and excitement of the whole song, Shen Yan used his real voice when singing, instead of using vibrato or falsetto, which requires the singer to have a high level of vocal control and lung capacity.

"Chasing Dreams" also requires a sense of tearing...

Of course, his two most popular songs right now are "Dignity" and "Say Goodbye," which are not difficult and have a high KTV on-demand rate...

Therefore, regarding Shen Yan's singing skills, most of the comments are "yes, but not high!"

After all, he didn’t become famous because of his singing skills!
But his popularity is indeed very high. After the official announcement, the show "I Am a Singer" directly topped the trending search list...

It even overshadowed the news that "The Flowers of War" and "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" were scheduled to be released on December 12th.

Shen Yan also posted a Weibo post. The content was very simple, just a photo of the Hunan Radio and Television Building, with the caption: "I'm here!"

……

The recording location of "I Am a Singer" is in the T2 area of the Radio and Television Building. It is the largest studio in the entire Radio and Television Building, with an area of 1200 square meters. It has previously been the studio for "Happy Camp" and "Super Boys".

In fact, the first singer confirmed was... Qi Qin!
The method used is provocation!

At first, Hong Tao approached him to discuss "I Am a Singer". Qi Qin asked, "I have a performance on the 18th. Why should I go to your stage to compete with others?"

Hong Tao directly used the method of provoking: "Don't you have confidence in your singing skills? How do you know you can't win?"

The competitive Qi Qin couldn't resist the encouragement and unexpectedly became the first singer confirmed to participate in the program.

Qi Qin has a very high status in the music industry - it can be said that if there were no Qi Qin, Chinese pop songs would still be in the style of Teresa Teng and Liu Wenjing. This is quite objective.

Chyi Chin has indeed made groundbreaking contributions to Chinese pop music. "Wolf 1" and "Wolf 2" were a huge sensation back then. Their half-rock, half-pop style completely overturned the traditional perception of pop music in China. Among them, "Wolf," "Probably in Winter," "The World Outside," and "Flower Festival" are well-known to everyone, young and old.

Moreover, Qi Qin later formed the Rainbow Band and Rainbow Music Studio, and trained a large number of behind-the-scenes talents.

Musicians of Rainbow Band: guitarists Jiang Jianmin, Liu Zhewei, and Yang Zhenhua;

keyboardists Tu Huiyuan, Wang Wenqing, and Zhong Xingmin;

bassists Liu Tianjian and Liao Shizheng;

Drummer Xu Dechang, Huang Jianfu...

These names appear on the inside pages of almost every album of Taiwanese singers.

Even those who don't understand music should know Zhong Xingmin, a master of Chinese pop music arrangement. His representative works include "Nunchucks", "Prague Square", "Chrysanthemum Terrace", "Blue and White Porcelain", "The Seventh Chapter of the Night"...

The value is self-evident!

After confirming that Chyi Chin would join, it became relatively easy to get invitations from other people...

Before the official recording, as usual, I asked him about his thoughts on participating in "I Am a Singer"...

Of course, his process is different – Shen Yan is the creative source of I Am a Singer!

The question is 'How did you come up with the idea of the show "I Am a Singer"?

Shen Yan was very frank; "It's just a reference to talent shows... 'I Am a Singer' is essentially a competition between famous singers, and in the end, the king of singing is selected."

"Actually, I've always regretted not participating in a talent show... I have confidence in myself... I wonder if I can survive this cruel competition system!"

"It can be regarded as a way to stimulate my potential!"

"So which song are you going to sing?"

"Goku!"
