The atmosphere at the scene was very quiet, and even the ordinary audience did not dare to make any movement, because only by listening to the live comments of a music master at such a close distance could one compare them with his own personal feelings.
"Piaomiao is an ethereal timbre, combined with the use of breath. It is achieved by extensive use of such timbre and expression techniques. This is also the reason why most singers are only singers throughout their lives and never become musicians, including myself!"
"But vocal music schools like Bel Canto can do this more easily. Why?"
“One of the characteristics of bel canto singing that is different from other singing methods is that it uses a lower voice method than other singing methods, resulting in a bright, plump, loose, round, and metallic sound. , resonant sound quality.”
"Have you noticed? I mentioned the word metal again. What does it represent?"
"It represents the ability to deliberately convert the subsequent ascending scale mutation into a coherent portamento through a gradual quantitative transition. This is why there was bel canto singing in the singing of the two of them just now."
"With the most reasonable use of this kind of connection, it is possible to produce a special sound quality that is resonant and has a metallic texture, which is one of the characteristics of bel canto singing."
"Good voice quality means good vocal cord closure, moderate breath impact, moderate low position of the larynx, moderate soft palate lift, and active but not stiff or tense cooperation of the larynx and pharyngeal muscles."
"Of course, it must also be a comprehensive and coordinated product of correct tongue position, relaxed jaw and mouth shape, natural and beautiful singing mental state and other factors."
"The ideal sound quality is both bright and round, firm and loose, the so-called light and dark."
"In addition, their singing is full of variety in tone and sincere emotional expression. When singing difficult cadenzas, they have strict intonation and rhythm, and fluent and flexible phrases."
"That's why there is such a song with a relaxing, bright and full sound image in the world. The more you immerse yourself in it, the more you will be moved to tears by the extremely beautiful sound!" Although the old man's long discussion was full of many Professional terminology, but it does not hinder partial understanding by ordinary viewers.
Some senior fans even had a sense of enlightenment after hearing these words that were usually vague.
After giving the scene some time to digest, Gu Yun continued to say with a smile: "We won't ask Liu Qingshan to brag himself, let's listen to the experts' understanding!" The dozens of judges here, if they strictly follow the seniority When lined up, they will only be her apprentices and grandchildren.
Seeing the old man looking over at him, he seemed to be taking a test, and only the eldest Xu Peidong had the courage to speak.
"The most basic principle of aesthetics is that the voice should be mature and the tone should be thorough, which is often said in theory. In terms of appreciation habits, China pays attention to simplicity and naturalness, while the West pursues exaggeration and expression.
"If a singer fails to grasp these differences and exaggerates his breathing, deliberately changes his voice, and blindly shows off his skills just to show his international style, the result will be counterproductive."
"Liu Qingshan combines various singing techniques in his singing. His singing style not only combines traditional singing techniques, but also absorbs the strengths of European and American pop music singing methods, and even draws on Bel Canto techniques."
"He can start from the aspects of breath and resonance, true voice, falsetto, mixed voice, vibrato and contusion, and pharyngeal voice. What Yao Beina accomplished is a bit reluctant, but ordinary listeners cannot hear it."
"There is a popular saying abroad: Whoever controls the breath controls the singing. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to show the importance of breath to singing."
"Breath is the support of sound and the support of change. The change of strength lies in sound, and the change of virtuality and reality lies in Qi. At this point, I think Liu Qingshan's performance ability is no more than three people in the whole world!" Obviously, Gu Yun agreed with her nominal student's views, but she also pointed out his biggest flaw.
"The statement that there are no more than three people in the world may be a bit exaggerated, but you have forgotten that those only three people do not have the ability to switch between male and female voices at the same time!" Xu Peidong slammed his head hard: "Teach me a lesson, sir. What's more, I actually ignored the most important point! To be honest, I haven't really considered it until this moment. What the teacher said before has gone beyond the scope of teaching. Liu Qingshan can be said to be the leader in the music industry today. No. 1 person, no one!" His words were so arrogant that they shattered the sky, and there were constant voices of surprise on the scene. I wonder which person in the world can be called such a title?
But what is surprising is that even a calm and wise person like Gu Yun did not express any disapproval of his words.
On the contrary, when she looked at Liu Qingshan, her tone was even more direct: "In terms of voice condition alone, Liu Qingshan deserves to be recognized by the world. He has an inhuman voice. The current C7 is just a transition to his high treble limit." stage, and it is a completely different way of vocalizing, using a falsetto that men are not good at using to create an ethereal and graceful effect.”
"A peerless genius with such powerful skills should show the elegance of our Chinese people on the international stage. Therefore, he has a high-profile reason, so he can completely ignore modesty and caution."
"What's even more rare is that his vocal range, regardless of whether it's a male or female voice, is within the most comfortable range for human ears. His timbre is more mellow and uniquely charming. Only the absolute bass needs further verification." No one I will question the evaluation of Master Gu Yun, as the only Chinese musician recorded in the "Encyclopedia of Musicians".
At least in China, her music appreciation ability is unrivaled and the most authoritative. none of them.
Some people even found new topics in her words, including the female host: "Mr. Gu, do you want us to verify his bass part on the spot?" Liu Qingshan naturally knew that even in a strict sense During the rehearsal time, the host's feedback must have been approved by the director team, otherwise it would not be possible to act on his own.
Since the program team had other requirements and had plenty of time, he had no reason to let go of this opportunity.
"I can show it, but I haven't created any pure bass works before. The only one is rock-style heavy metal. I just don't know the style of this kind of song. Are you interested in listening to it?" He gave his own opinion. Attitude, but the implication is also something on another level.
If rock-style heavy metal music appeared on any local TV station, it would be highly likely to be used. However, now that it is on national television, such possibilities are infinitely compressed.
Since he is the mouthpiece of the country, the seriousness and positivity of the broadcast content are obviously higher than the excitement of the program itself.
This is not an overreach of platform consciousness, but an essential decision. Serious concerts will always be nobler and more authentic than a rock concert with even 100,000 people. This is an international consensus and is not unique to China.
Gu Yun also smiled to express her point of view: "Today is just a rehearsal. According to the program flow, what I said will be cut, and your next performance may not meet the broadcast standards, but music has no borders. There is no difference between them, so you can just think of it as a way to popularize the music form for our mainland musicians!" At her age and qualifications, her inner worries have become much less, and because of music Popular rhetoric comes out of the blue.
But there is only one thing that conflicts with the nature of the event being recorded. The purpose of the program is to highlight the contestants, rather than allowing the supporting guests to do their best.
Fortunately, it is only a nominal rehearsal time. Although the contestants' on-stage performances may be included in the official broadcast version, after all, there is a post-editing session with more time.
That’s why Gu Yun had this answer: “Even though I’m old, I don’t reject noisy heavy metal music. Being able to listen to various types of songs with appreciation is also a necessary work attitude for musicians. !" After receiving such a reply, and the on-site host did not feedback the director's will, Liu Qingshan laughed and turned to look for Yao Beina.
"I'm sorry to disturb your normal performance flow. It's just a rehearsal anyway. Would you like to stay on stage and perform with me, or go to the band as a backing vocalist?" Yao Beina saw that he didn't deliberately turn off the microphone next to his cheek, and asked I know that my future boss actually wants me to stay onsite and harmonize.
So he nodded subconsciously,
"Is it the boss's bullfighting song? I'm really familiar with this song. The female voice sings it in bel canto. I know the original Italian pronunciation!" Liu Qingshan raised his thumb at her: "Then go to the band Find a place for yourself here. I can make a lot of money with your backing vocals. I may not be able to afford a big-name backing vocalist like you in the future. This opportunity is really rare!" The audience burst into laughter. In fact, it was just from Yao Beina just now. It can be seen from her performance that this woman's future is really limitless. Liu Qingshan's statement is a bit of a way to adjust the atmosphere, but if it is not crude, it can be expected that the future diva will sing the harmony for others. It is quite rare, and such a classic scene will definitely become one of the famous scenes.
And through Yao Beina's words, they learned that the song they were about to hear was "Bullfighting", and almost all the audience became excited instantly.
Anyone who is familiar with Liu Qingshan knows that he opened the World Super Model Contest with this song a year ago, and it was the first time that a Chinese-language song entered the European and American markets.
Putting aside the merits of the work for the time being, this has opened up a world-class competition and created a Chinese-language song, which is already the pride of all Chinese people.
