The sixth episode of "Xia Guo Good Singer" will kick off in one day, and all the singers participating in the show have also actively started rehearsing the competition songs.
Janice Lopez is no exception. At this moment, she is practicing her next song seriously in a well-equipped and advanced practice room in the Xiangnan Satellite TV building.
Her majestic and rich singing voice came from the practice room, and the staff all had expressions of intoxicated enjoyment, with the word "convinced" written all over their faces.
"e...Mi Lu, I'm still not used to the Chinese pronunciation. The word 'smoke curls up' here, how should I pronounce this curl?"
She pointed to the lyrics on the song list. Although there were pinyin notations below, she still couldn't figure it out.
"niao, you read with me, n~i~a~o, niao!"
Her competition assistant Lu Dan patiently corrected her pronunciation. After reading it several times, Janice finally figured out the pronunciation of the word.
"Ha, Janice, to be honest, you don't have to sing our Xia Wen songs. Everyone can accept it if you sing in Mi dialect..."
Lu Dan looked at the other party practicing his pronunciation seriously, feeling a little funny and a little impressed at the same time.
This American girl said that it was to show her respect and respect for the people of Xia Country that she took the initiative to sing a local song from Xia Country for the second song. Maybe her manager James told her that her participation this time was a little bit... Foul play, or maybe she has a character that refuses to admit defeat, and just wants to sing a song in Xia Guoyu, which she is not good at, or has not been exposed to at all, so that other participating singers and the local audience will be amazed. Take it heartily.
So I made this choice decisively.
She also specifically asked her competition assistant Lu Dan what are the most popular songs in Xia Guo right now.
Then Lu Dan introduced her to many popular songs recently, but when he mentioned "Blue and White Porcelain", the other party's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Isn't this the most classical song of your Xia Kingdom? I like it and I want to sing this."
Then, she said this to Lu Dan.
At first, everyone was opposed to her choosing this song. After all, if people with different languages and cultures sing the most ancient songs of the other country, there is no basis for it at all. If you don’t do it right, you will have pronunciation problems. Accurate, even the embarrassing scene of forgetting the lyrics.
You know, Xia people are quite disdainful to those foreigners who like to imitate Xia Guoyu but can't speak it well. Either you study hard and speak to us in a clear and concise manner, or you speak honestly. For the native language, we find a translator.
Especially some people who have learned a few words of Xia Guoyu and haven’t even licked their tongues yet want to come here to make money. They put a few o’s and say a few words such as “E love mud”, “Xia Guohao stick”... etc. It sounds awkward. They are also very disgusted with so-called celebrities.
Both James and Lu Dan are worried that Janice will become like this, which will affect her performance in competitions.
But Janice is very stubborn. She firmly believes that her language talent is fine and she can definitely cope with this performance, so she started practicing this song right after the first game. ….
Although there are still some bumps and bruises, by Thursday, after four days of repeated practice, basically when I recited these lyrics, although the words were still not perfect, it was still relatively standard.
"The person who wrote this song is really a genius. After my translator explained to me the meaning contained in this song, I felt like I was reading a beautiful history book!"
After practicing again, Janice sat on the chair next to her, sipping water and talking about "Blue and White Porcelain" with some admiration.
"At first, I just came here for the ancient Xia style tune of this song. It was only after he translated the lyrics for me that I realized how profound and profound your country's culture is..."
What is written here is in Chinese, but in fact Janice and Lu Dan are communicating in Mi. After all, Lu Dan is the biological hostess of Genzheng Miaohong of Xiangnan Satellite TV.
, being able to speak several foreign languages is her specialty, and because of this, the station confidently entrusted Janice to her.
"Haha, speaking of the cultural heritage of our country, it is indeed very profound. If you are interested next week, I can take you on a tour of our porcelain capital to appreciate how this beautiful porcelain is made. From the dirt in the ground to the finished product.”
Of course, Lu Dan was 100% confident in Janice's strength, so when he mentioned going to watch next week, he definitely meant that the opponent would never be eliminated.
Janice tilted her head noncommittally, but her expression was still quite emotional. After all, she had to fly back to China to hold a concert after recording the show. She was very busy and might not be able to go. Porcelain Capital Tourism.
"This Mr. Jiang not only writes good songs, but his singing ability is also quite good. Not only does he sing pop songs with opera-style lyrics, but he also sings female lyrics as a man. Voice! This surprised me very much..."
Recalling the last video recording, when she was listening to the other party singing the second half of "The Drunken Concubine" almost semi-live in the lounge, Janice still felt the shock of hearing the female voice for the first time. Scalp numbness.
This is a singing method that she has never seen before. Although there are some male singers abroad who sing high notes and even dolphin sounds, they are all in extremely high ranges, because the voice is too sharp, which will form a similar sound. A woman's voice.
But this singer is so good. He didn't look like a girl, but directly sang the second half of the lyrics with a girl's voice.
Moreover, it is so melodious, poignant and beautiful, with no broken sound, air leakage or burrs at all, and is as round as a smooth porcelain cup.
Janice, who was originally absolutely confident that she would win all the first places in this trip to Xia Country, felt a little shaken in her confidence for the first time.
It seems that there are no singers here who can threaten me, so I still have to deal with them carefully.
At the same time, she also became somewhat curious about Jiang Kan himself. What kind of surprises and challenges could this middle-aged man who could both write and sing bring to herself in the new competition? ….
Maybe it would be a good idea to invite him for a cup of coffee after the next competition and have a good chat with him about his understanding of music and singing?
I heard that he has written a dozen very famous songs in just a few months, and he seems to be a talented songwriter.
Maybe, you can still have a good relationship with him, and then try asking him to help you write two songs in the future?
…
Time flew by quickly, and it was time to record the sixth episode. Jiang Kan and Zhang Lingling came to Shashi early this morning, and then took a nap in their respective rooms before lazily rushing to the Xiangnan Satellite TV building.
Last night at Liu Zhiheng's tavern, Lao Zhou held a celebration party to celebrate that "Like You" had broken into the top ten in half a month and ranked in the April new song rankings. On the sixth place!
Lao Zhou raised his glasses frequently. Except for Jiang Kan and Wang Yuchang, who were recording the show the next day, everyone drank generously. Yu Kai, Xiao Feiyan, Liu Zhiheng, Lao Zhou, and members of Dongyu Band Everyone, as well as some of their friends, plus Lao Zhouyi happily waved his hand and other guests in the bar paid for their purchases. They drank 70,000 to 80,000 yuan in wine that night.
Lao Zhou was not only happy about this, but in the MV he shot, he and several of his old buddies also showed their faces in front of rock fans across the country! During this period, many old friends from the past called him one after another to congratulate him, saying that he had a thick thigh and that he could ascend to heaven with a chicken or a dog.
He also happily accepted the congratulations. As for whether he was on his lap...
I, Lao Zhou, have the ability and the luck to be able to get on someone's side, but you can't get enough of me!
Are you angry?
There were even some fellow band members from other places who said they would come to Chengdu to visit them, socialize and discuss things with them. He knew clearly that the other party was here to rub off on their popularity, but he couldn't help but feel happy, so he just came and had a good drink. pause,
Then have a good discussion and have fun!
When you play in a band, don't you just want to have friends all over the world and everyone will be happy?
So at noon on Saturday, even though Jiang Kan and Zhang Lingling had restrained themselves from drinking too much, they still had a little headache when they woke up from a nap. Fortunately, their throats were still dry and it would not affect the evening recording.
Wang Yuchang was not so lucky. Although he had been very restrained from drinking too much, he couldn't stand everyone's happiness. He drank and drank and vomited. Then he started to sleep as soon as he arrived at the hotel in the morning and he still hasn't gotten up yet. , I guess I have to sleep until the recording starts.
"Alas, this old Zhou..."
Jiang Kan rubbed his temples, which were still a little swollen, and shook his head with a wry smile.
People who love music, bands and rock so purely are rare nowadays.
After recovering for a while in the hotel, and having a casual dinner, the two woke up Wang Yuchang, who had just woken up, and came to the building of Xiangnan Satellite TV.
"Haha, Brother Kan, you have become more energetic after not seeing you for a week!"
Liu Da strode forward to greet him. Today, because Jiang Kan and Zhang Lingling took a taxi and didn't bother him, he was particularly energetic today after taking a rare nap in the lounge. ….
"Haha, the same goes for you. Is everyone else here?"
After briefly saying hello, they walked towards the lounge.
"Hi Jiang!"
As soon as he reached the lounge floor, Jiang Kan heard a voice with a strange tone, which seemed to be calling him?
He turned his head and saw Janice walking towards the lounge with her translator and assistant. She just saw him and waved to him.
"Hi Janice!"
Someone greeted me and responded naturally. Everyone looked at each other strangely and then at themselves, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Hi Jiang, hello, I will sing your song this time."
Janice walked over gracefully and said hello in broken Xia Chinese.
"I know, the company has informed me. Thank you very much for your love of my songs."
After all, he was a supervisor in a large company, and Jiang Kan didn't even speak Japanese. Seeing that the other party's tone of voice was really weird, he still took the initiative to talk about the other party's country.
"Wow, Jiang, you speak Japanese so well!"
"Also, I'm not only interested in your songs, I'm also interested in you as a person!"
As expected of a person from the Omi country, she speaks directly and doesn't know what it means to be subtle. People around her who understood her words looked at Jiang Kan with strange eyes, with a smirk in the corner of their eyes.
"Ha, I'm also very interested in you, but it's just about music. Why did you think of singing my song?"
Knowing that this was everyone's well-intentioned joke, Jiang Kan didn't pay attention, but walked side by side with the other party. The other party was also just over 1.8 meters tall. Standing next to Jiang Kan, who was 1.83 meters tall, was because of their high heels. Because of this, he was half a head taller, and for a while he looked quite strange and out of place.
"Firstly, because I like your Xia Kingdom's culture, and secondly, because I think this song represents your Xia Kingdom's culture very well. And..."
She turned her head and glanced at Jiang Kan, who had handsome features and a figure as tall as a young man, with a hint of teasing flashing in her eyes.
"Also, I think if I sing your song, you will like me. If you let down your guard because of this, I can win another game - I know you have won the first place three times in a row. , is a strong rival, isn’t it?”
Unexpectedly, the other party would give such a reason. Jiang Kan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed "haha".
This foreign girl is really straightforward in what she says, and I don’t know if she really thinks so.
"It won't work if I say it. I won't be careless. Also, if I said that I was just lucky to win those few times, would you believe it?"
"Oh, Jiang, you Xia people have a saying: 'Excessive modesty is a
kind of pride, can I understand what you said this way? "
…
The two of them walked and chatted all the way, while Wang Yuchang, Zhao Yu, Liu Da, and Lu Dan beside each other all had strange expressions on their faces. They probably didn't expect Janice to be so optimistic about Jiang Kan. , and even gave him a little compliment and praise.
You know, this is a proud and unruly master. After coming to Xia Kingdom, he only treated other singers coldly. At most, he just smiled and nodded. How could he treat Jiang Kan with such enthusiasm now? It's really strange. .
"Is it possible that she has a crush on Uncle Kan?"
Wang Yuchang wanted to make a joke to break the weird atmosphere, but after he said the words, he found that everyone's faces became even weirder!
Zhang Lingling, in particular, gave him a look with a complicated expression, which made him touch the back of his head strangely, not knowing what he said wrong. .
