In fact, all the members of Radiohead are from England, like the greatest band in history, The Beatles. In recent years, this band has appeared in the news media the most times and has the most opportunities to be arranged for the finale performance. Obviously, except for them In addition to the quality of the work, it also has a lot to do with the publicity and planning behind the scenes.
Liu Qingshan saw this clearly and wanted to learn from their experience to shorten the maturity time of his band as much as possible in the future.
He knows very well that the best living environment for rock music is in Europe and the United States. With the current development form of the checkerboard band, it is far inferior to the amateur bands here.
Therefore, there is an urgent need for more professional people to provide guidance and help in order to tap and unleash the greatest potential for better development.
Now that Ajie has begun to stand out, Liu Qingshan has agreed to his wish to finally return to rock music. How to make the most perfect arrangements in advance requires the help of the professional team here.
After hearing this, Thom Yorke said cheerfully: "Since you are the one who has spoken, I will support it unconditionally. If you need anything at that time, just ask. I can provide personnel, instruments, and equipment!"
His inner thoughts were actually the same as Daft Punk's. Even if he only had the mentality that he would rather wrong himself than offend, he would not let go of this excellent opportunity to get close.
Jianghu people are more aware of the horror of the law of the jungle. Only the strongest have more say here. This simple truth is not unfamiliar to Westerners.
However, Liu Qingshan did not intend to have a more in-depth discussion with them at this moment. After all, the performance outside was still going on, and he also needed to gather with the Prayer Band as soon as possible.
When I arrived at the lounge, I had some exchanges with Father Bumi and his son, and then hurried out to find Smith and the others.
Nowadays, most people are concentrated at the performance site. They didn't attract much attention along the way and arrived at the tent area where the band was located smoothly.
As soon as Smith saw Jin Xishan, he praised her with an exaggerated expression, making her smile and be very happy.
Chen Zuming and the others also followed, but Shi Hui followed Wang Jinghua and Wang Huansheng, busy with Taylor's affairs.
Ignoring Mopti, who was curious about everything he saw, Liu Qingshan sat down at a table and copied out the lyrics and music of "Boom" in his mind.
Several members of the praying band watched silently, thinking that Liu Qingshan had created a new creation for them.
After Liu Qingshan put away the pen and paper, he explained with a smile: "When I return to China, I will pass on the information of several songs to you. I am so busy now that I have no time to calm down!"
Bassist Rondy shook his hands and defended, "Actually, we are satisfied that the song "I Want My Tears Back" can be given to us to perform, but without you, we need to find another coloratura soprano to coordinate with future performances!"
Liu Qingshan nodded: "The band's performance format of hiring a soprano can continue to be retained. The specific operation can refer to the Nightwish Band in Germany. Naturally, you do not need to copy it completely. By borrowing the essence, you may have better development prospects. !”
"I know Nightwish, a heavy metal band!" Another keyboard player interjected, "I admire their original passion for life and the way they pursue pure emotions. The core ideas of our band are somewhat similar to them. But it’s more commercial, after all, pure heavy metal is not suitable for television performances!”
Liu Qingshan expressed his approval, "The specific classification of music styles is artificially arranged. In fact, in my opinion, as long as the music is recognized by the market, it is a good work, such as pop music! To be honest, you people are not interested in this kind of music. The point of view is still a bit too paranoid. Since you just mentioned commercialization, I would suggest that you think more about the combination of the two in the future. Just like rock music does not only contain foul language, anger or cynicism, it also coexists with positive energy. !”
"Alien, are you referring to the greater rationality in music?" Smith came over and asked.
Liu Qingshan nodded in agreement, "Catering to the market does not mean that rock music ideas have degenerated or become deformed. Musicians also need to eat. Only when they have filled their stomachs can they be in the mood to let their thoughts fly. Otherwise, how can music be produced if you are hungry?" Creation and innovation? I am not preaching to you, I just want to remind you to stay away from those extreme ideological poisons in the future, and think more about the money waiting for you at home to raise children, pay utility bills, and fill the refrigerator with ingredients. , maybe this matter will become much simpler!”
He chose this time to say something that was not preachy, not out of nowhere, but because he had sensed the emotional changes in the Prayer Band as early as in London.
After the song "Sugar" became a hit, two different working attitudes emerged in the band. The one represented by Smith was more rational and tended to be more commercial in rock music.
The bassist and lead guitarist insisted on the so-called rock attitude before. He couldn't point this out directly to Smith alone, otherwise it would easily give people the misunderstanding that he wanted to forcefully divide the band as a whole.
Therefore, he took today's opportunity to speak out in public, firstly because of his relationship with this band, and secondly because he wanted to make the life of Smith, whom he admired, more comfortable.
As for whether they are willing to accept it in the end, it is another matter. They will return to China soon, and it may take a long time to return to England again.
The so-called out of sight, out of mind probably refers to this situation. After all, there is not a deep emotional foundation between the two parties.
The reason why he thought of the Prayer Band for this music industry performance was because he had this idea. At least he didn't want to see Smith's future career fail.
Fortunately, after Liu Qingshan said these words, he obviously felt that they had an effect, because what he said were all truths that were very close to reality. The right or wrong in them was not important, but the concern and kindness in their hearts made them all feel happy. It can be felt clearly.
The words were kept to the point, and the due rehearsals could not be missed. Since they had three joint exercises in the morning, they did not need to make a big show this time. It was enough to go through the process symbolically a few times. The tacit understanding between them was the goal.
Therefore, the instruments that need to be used are just a few simple gestures. The performance over there is in full swing, and the other party cannot be affected by the movement here.
The time soon came to 12 noon, and the band members gathered around began to prepare to wait, but Liu Qingshan and his people left early.
Before he officially came on stage, the Prayer Band would first sing the song "Sugar". Now Smith has used this song skillfully and formed his own style, which has changed a lot from the original version.
Of course Liu Qingshan wouldn't care about this. Any works he plagiarized would be used more as a tool for self-promotion, fulfilling their original mission. After handing over the use rights to others, he could not interfere with how others adapted them.
Returning to the passage behind the stage, Liu Qingshan deliberately did not appear in the lounge. The performance was about to begin, so being as little disturbed as possible would be conducive to on-the-spot performance.
When he rehearsed with the band in the morning, there were many spectators, so he didn't show all of it. The original version of that heavy metal song was from Finland's top band Nightwish, which is a national treasure.
The most striking feature of that band is the way that men and women perform together, and the woman's singing voice is actually a coloratura soprano, creating a bel canto metal that is unique in the world today.
The role that Liu Qingshan needs to play today is an opera-style soprano. Obviously, this kind of operation exceeds the original height of Nightwish. The performance of a bel canto soprano by a male singer is a major breakthrough in art, which is beyond any previous form. A new performance style designed to surprise and win.
A boy's perfect interpretation of a female voice requires an unparalleled wide range of voice, as well as an extremely clean and ethereal singing voice from the top of his voice. If there are any flaws, it will lead to major mistakes that will be superimposed several times, and he will become a cat with no luck. A botched performance by a tiger.
There are many male singers who can imitate female voices. It is precisely because of such strict judging standards that this cross-dressing performance method is regarded as a forbidden area for live singing by all professional singers.
Therefore, although the way Liu Qingshan wants to perform today is not unprecedented or unprecedented, the subversive live performance of the entire work is extremely difficult, but he is the first person to do so.
Because the similar cross-dressing performances before him were only fragments, or even just a few words, a full-length girl like him was already groundbreaking. What's more, what he wanted to imitate was a coloratura soprano, the most difficult female voice, which was a breakthrough in pop music. range of true vocal art.
This is not to say that pop music is inferior. Its singing method also pays attention to the application of techniques such as resonance, conversion of true and false voices, angry sounds, tongue sounds, vibrato, etc. However, the difficulty is mainly medium and will not be set too high. Works performed with singing skills.
Because if the difficulty span is too high, the audience will be bored and give up appreciation. You have never seen the subtlety of saliva songs flooding the public. People all like them because they are simple enough.
They are just a way of expression of music. There is no so-called elegance, high-end or vulgar non-nutritious fast food stimulation. After all, their existence is reasonable, and they cannot blindly criticize things that are meaningful and valuable to society.
Liu Qingshan's subsequent subversive singing method was unknown even to Jin Xishan, who was closest to him. She only knew the method he was going to use, but based on other people's normal thinking, the method Liu Qingshan was going to use was nothing more than ordinary. In the singing style, a few fancy soprano lines are suddenly added to show off the singing skills.
At this moment, she was chatting enthusiastically with Britney Spears, and she had no idea that an epic and world-shattering masterpiece was about to happen.
But looking at Liu Qingshan at this moment, his heart felt peaceful. He knew very well that he was going to make a shocking move, and his purpose was just a sudden whim at the right time.
Even if the next performance is a great success, he will never try this kind of singing again in the future.
