Chapter 404
The song "Big Fish" is the theme song of the previous animated film "Big Fish and Begonia". It was written and composed by two music creators, Yin Yue and Qian Lei, and sung by Zhou Shen.
Many people know this singer because of this song, which is also his most representative song.
Zhou Shen's voice is extremely rare in the Chinese music scene.
His voice is sharp and thin, and you can tell it when you listen to him speak normally. It is close to a child's voice. This natural timbre combines the clarity of a child's voice and the softness of a woman's voice when he sings.
There are also many problems with special voices because the timbre is too eye-catching. When you first participated in talent shows, you would find that because the voice was too sharp, the technique could not keep up, the pronunciation was difficult, and the breath support was insufficient, it sounded a bit harsh.
It was not until he underwent professional bel canto training and developed his own unique three-dimensional resonant singing method that his singing skills reached their peak, bringing out the advantages of his childish voice to the fullest.
Lu Qingfeng's voice is different from Zhou Shen's.
The talent of the heavenly voice is optimized on his original basis, and the ordinary vocal system has been upgraded and transformed, so his voice is close to the clear voice of a teenager.
At the same time, the heavenly voice also gives him a vast vocal range. Whether it is bass, mid-range or treble, they are all within his comfort zone and have a very personal style of beauty.
Such vocal conditions also mean that as long as he can practice his singing skills well, he can interpret all songs in his own style.
So he did not deliberately pursue Zhou Shen's singing style. While practicing this song in the past week, he found his own feeling.
Cold lights flickered overhead, and dreamy light scattered all around on the stage below and the big screen behind.
The clear and crystal piano solo sounded as the prelude, just like the moment when the tidal sea romantically rolled towards the beach.
As a whale made of light on the big screen seemed to be swimming in the sea, a melody with the traditional pentatonic Yu mode as the main tone sounded.
This traditional national pentatonic scale is similar to the minor key in Western music, characterized by minor thirds and major second. It has a peaceful and smooth melody, a quiet and soft style, and is mournful and desolate.
In the theory of the five elements, it corresponds to "water", so it is often used in the oriental aesthetic concept represented by water.
This mode fits perfectly with the sea-themed impression of the song "Big Fish".
The ethereal, distant and slightly sad temperament guides the audience into the mood of the song from the very beginning.
"The waves silently drown the night."
"Over the corners at the end of the sky,"
"Big fish swam through the cracks in dreams,"
"Gazing at your sleeping silhouette."
……
Lu Qingfeng's singing voice rang out, with a weak mixed voice style, leaning more towards head voice while adding more breath sounds, making the voice light and floating.
Soft and light, as if you are in the mist.
In the waiting room, young superstar Huo Yingjie leaned forward and listened carefully.
As a singer who has honed his singing skills to perfection, although he does not have absolute pitch, he has developed relative pitch after working in this industry for many years.
As a detail-oriented person, he could also clearly hear the changes on the stage between this singer, who was very mysterious to him, and the previous two performances.
If the first two performances were about singing with emotion, this one was obviously different, with more outstanding performance in terms of technique.
The pronunciation is clear, the voice is delicate, and the transition between true and false voice is silky.
In the first sentence, the word "deep" was handled so well that it didn't sound obvious, like a real voice, but he still heard it.
What is even more amazing is the voice of the person on the stage. To use a more vivid metaphor, it is probably like pearls big and small falling on a jade plate.
Beautiful and moving, like the sound of nature.
He leaned forward even more, a subconscious action he made when he heard other singers perform very well.
"Watching the sea and sky merge into one, listening to the wind and rain."
"Holding your hand, blowing away the vast smoke and waves,"
"The wings of the big fish are already too vast,"
"I loose the ropes of time;"
……
Experts listen to the details, while laymen find it quite lively. For Qu Ruoyun, the Fox Demon Teacher on the stage sang so beautifully, like a fairy tale in a dream, as dreamy as bubbles, which attracted her.
The melody is obviously gentle, restrained, and has little ups and downs, but the singer on the stage sings in such a low voice that one's heart can't help but be intoxicated by it and listen quietly.
Confessing and reminiscing, the singer on the stage is telling an ancient story with one note after another.
It's a really special sound, something I've never heard before.
But why does it feel a little familiar?
Qu Ruoyun didn't have the mind to think about it. She closed her eyes, shook her body, and quietly enjoyed this auditory feast.
The audience in the audience was in a similar situation as her.
In the past two years, a sleep-aid live broadcast called ASMR has become popular. It uses some soft sounds to stimulate the listeners' nerves and bring about a pleasant and relaxed physical and mental state.
And now, these people have similar feelings.
"I'm afraid you'll fly away, I'm afraid you'll leave me,"
"I'm even more afraid that you'll stay here forever,"
"Every tear flows to you,"
"Flowing back into the seabed of the sky."
……
In the chorus, emotions burst forth, and Lu Qingfeng enhanced the compression of his voice, making the vocal line more focused and having a clean and clear feeling.
The melody line becomes long and smooth, like drawing a graceful arc in the air.
Starting from the second part, with the change of emotions, Lu Qingfeng's treatment of the lyrics also changed accordingly, reducing breathy sounds, using more real voice to pronounce, and incorporating vibrato in the middle and end of sentences.
And the amplitude is controlled within a very small range, and the pitch is still just right.
The song "Big Fish" is not too difficult to sing. The difficulty lies in controlling the emotions and singing the song beautifully.
With the blessing of the heavenly voice, the performance is as good as that of the original singer.
The song has finally reached its final stage.
The progressive images are sad but not depressing, grand and profound.
The orchestration also becomes richer, creating a vast space where the water meets the sky.
Lu Qingfeng tapped his fingers in the air, following the rhythm of the melody, and the final chant appeared.
"Ah~~~~~"
A surge of emotion rushed straight to the top of my head. When the real person's popular head voice and the bel canto head voice as harmony were combined, the feeling of being moved reached its peak at that moment.
Lu Qingfeng stood on the stage, holding the microphone away from his lips, and used a lot of long notes, glissando, and vibrato to fully display the beautiful voice gifted by the nine-tailed fox.
Qu Ruoyun was about to cry again in the waiting room.
Moved to tears,
The ethereality and purity without a trace of impurities fully express the song's fate of reincarnation and the protection of freedom.
She didn't know how to describe how she felt at the moment.
A throat kissed by an angel.
"Ah~~~~~~"
The chanting when I read it for the second time was ethereal and clear.
The female host clenched her hands and placed them on her chest, and suddenly she shuddered.
She finally remembered why she felt the voice was familiar.
She had heard this kind of ethereal chanting before.
In another show.
