Chapter 225
"Running waves, wandering waves, thousands of miles of torrential rivers will never stop, and the world's affairs will turn into a torrent of tides..."
I have to say that Liao Liao really likes this song.
Atmospheric, heroic, the unique classic temperament of this song moved Liao Liao almost from the first moment I saw it - there was no need to specially compose any accompaniment, after Liao Liao got familiar with it a few times, Just following Li Qian's piano, he was able to sing it out loud and full of passion.
However, everyone likes a good song. Although this kind of grand song will make people subconsciously think that it must be the most suitable for Liao Liao, it doesn't mean that He Runqing can't sing at all.
So, when Liao Liao sang twice in a row, the more he sang, the better he sang, and the more he sang, the more proud he was, Li Qian stopped and called He Runqing who was sitting beside him, "Sister Runqing, come and try."
He Runqing was a little taken aback, subconsciously raised her finger and pointed at herself, "Me?"
Li Qian nodded affirmatively, and then asked: "Why, you can't sing?"
This is obviously the dumbest aggressive method in the world, but for some people in this world, the dumber the method, the easier it is to use. Especially for people like Liao Liao and He Runqing who have been or have been at the pinnacle of an industry.
He Runqing was stunned for a moment.
She subconsciously wanted to explain. After all, she was a sweet song singer. Would she lack some strength to sing such a majestic work? Is the song "Evening Fragrance" more suitable for me?
In fact, after Li Qian rushed to the studio suddenly, found Liao Liao and He Runqing who were practicing songs, and took out these two songs, He Runqing and Liao Liao exchanged and read the two songs. Almost unanimously, subconsciously, they assigned these two songs——Liao Liao’s voice is generous and magnanimous, she is most suitable for this song "The Great River Goes East", and He Runqing's almost invincible singing skills in sweet songs are obviously more suitable for this song The soft "Evening Fragrance".
But since Li Qian has asked this question, even He Runqing, no matter how humble he is, can still say that he can't sing?
So she walked over, stood on the other side of the piano with Liao Liao on the left and on the right, holding the piano with her hands, waiting for Li Qian's piano sound, she opened her voice and sang: "Rang Ben..."
Li Qian's piano sound suddenly stopped.
He looked up at He Runqing, raised his hand, and gestured, "Sister Runqing, open it up, open it up a bit! Don't close it like that. Besides, forget about your past sweet song, I don't want the sweetness in your voice The soft taste, I want the sharp and clear taste in your throat...OK?"
After He Runqing nodded with a half understanding, Li Qian said, "Come again!"
"Walking..."
The piano sound stopped again.
In fact, for singers like Liao Liao and He Runqing, the matter of singing is really deep in their bones, so in many cases, if they can't sing well, then what they lack must not be voice or singing skills, but emotion !
Therefore, Li Qian hesitated for a moment, pointed back to Liao Liao, and said to He Runqing: "Her voice sings this song, it is very suitable, grand, and even in some places, you can hear the majesty of the big waves! But, to me For me, the first choice for this song is you, sister Runqing! But not the you in the past! What I want is the brightness in your voice! Of course, if you can give me a little more excitement It tastes perfect!"
"So, Sister Runqing, think about it, don't directly substitute yourself into a diva in the old society, don't sing that kind of obscene music, imagine that you are a wandering heroine who just shot you with a pistol Kill your own enemy. At this time, someone is chasing you behind you, and you escape to the bank of the Yangtze River. Facing the torrential river, you don't panic. That touch of tenderness when you confide in each other... Open your throat, OK?"
After Li Qian finished speaking, he fixedly looked at He Runqing.
After all, He Runqing is the He Runqing who has been popular for ten years. Although she has not yet grasped the essence of the scene outlined by Li Qian, she has roughly figured out Li Qian's request after all.
If Liao Liao sang, her grandeur, matched with this song, is certainly a natural charm, but what Li Qian needs seems to be the bright... bright... bright...
Oh yes, and excitement!
She pondered for a long time, then nodded slowly.
When the zither sounded, He Runqing began to sing, "The waves run, the waves..."
This time, the sound of the zither did not stop, but Li Qian's words resounded in the sound of the zither, "Very good, move your voice a little further forward, and the lower resonance will be less, move it up, go up..."
"...It's all gone, the affairs of the world have turned into a torrential trend..."
"Beautiful! Just this part, let's do it again!"
The sound of the piano didn't stop, Li Qian just swiped his finger, and instantly pulled back the prelude.
He Runqing seemed to have started to find some ideas and confidence, and began to sing loudly, "Wandering, wandering..."
Li Qian was delighted when he heard that.
Things are never perfect. Liao Liao's voice is high-pitched and majestic. For her, there are almost no songs that cannot be sung, and there are almost no songs that cannot be sung badly. But because her voice is wider and thicker, her voice is overall It is warmer and the tone is generally darker - of course, it is not bright enough for some people, but it is by no means really dark and really deep.
As for He Runqing, even though she has been singing sweet songs for ten years, her voice seems to be warmer, but she is a girl from Xiang, who grew up singing folk songs since she was a child. Liao made a lot of achievements.
If you really want to make an analogy, Liao Liao is like a dragon-headed sword, thick and powerful, even without a sharp edge, it can kill the enemy with a single blow, while He Runqing is more like a cold sword, sharp, shiny, It can shine with the cold luster of metal at any time in the sun.
It's not easy to distinguish between the two, they just distinguish the unique temperament of a certain work and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
When He Runqing finished singing, Li Qian gave He Runqing a thumbs up with a smile, turned to look at Liao Liao, and asked with a smile, "How is it?"
Liao Liao's fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the piano. From just now, she had already frowned tightly. When she heard Li Qian's question at this moment, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you going to let Sister Runqing turn around?" This way?"
Li Qian smiled.
It has to be said that whenever he can discuss music issues with masters like Liao Liao and He Runqing, it is often the time when he is in the best mood, can be the most unscrupulous, but at the same time is the happiest.
"Why do you have to plan a fixed path for singing?"
After a pause, he turned his head to look at He Runqing, and said, "We don't want to be tricked! Maybe in the past few years, because the media was not developed enough, if a singer wants to become popular, he must have a bright, bright enough to make people quickly You can remember the label, and then keep walking and walking along that road! For example, you, everyone knows that you are the queen of sweet songs, then OK, you, He Runqing, are the queen of sweet songs. When people say sweet songs, they will immediately think of you, But for other music, I won’t think of you at all!”
"And what about Liao Liao!"
He turned his head and looked at Liao Liao, "If it was in the past, what would you have become, the queen of golden songs? The queen of grand songs? In short, this is the title, and then what? Then you are trapped by the labels on your body died!"
Li Qian spread his hands, "So, let's not worry about what path we are taking! What we want is to find the most suitable path for a certain work according to the style and emotion of a certain work!"
Speaking of this, Li Qian turned his head to look at He Runqing, and asked with a smile: "Sister Runqing, how do you feel about the feeling you sang this song just now?"
He Runqing lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked a little coyly: "Can I tell the truth?"
Li Qian laughed, "Of course! If you don't tell the truth, then you might as well not tell it at all! I want to listen to the truth!"
He Runqing forced a smile, thought about it for a while, and said: "I feel... so awkward!" She waved her arms, as if looking for a feeling, and then asked: "Do you really think that the way I sang just now would sound good? "
Li Qian nodded, then shook his head again, "It's not enough just like that just now! Your voice is not bright enough, but it's definitely not your brightest tone! Besides, your voice is a bit astringent. It shouldn't be because of your recent The reason why you practice less songs is because you haven’t sung like this for many years, right? But, yes, according to your understanding, what I want is your way! At least this song is like this! And, you Singing like this is very nice!"
While speaking, he turned his head and pointed at Liao Liao, and said with a smile, "If you don't believe me, you can ask her!"
Sure enough, He Runqing raised her head and looked at Liao Liao immediately.
Liao Liao frowned for a moment, then nodded slowly, and said seriously: "Sister Runqing, when you helped me arrange songs recently, I always felt that your voice has changed a lot, and the way you sing should be fine. Very wide, I just heard you sing and I felt that when you sing like that, although your voice is still warmer and softer, but when you sing sweet songs with you, the voice really changes a lot, even... I think, if you rely more on this aspect, maybe you really can't tell that you are from singing sweet songs!"
Now He Runqing had no choice but to believe it.
During the recent period, when Li Qian came to the studio, it wasn't too many. Even if he came, he would invite the two of them to help produce the new album of Wu Xing Wu Su. Many, but the relationship between her and Liao Liao has become closer recently because of the sudden acquaintance, and because of her relationship with Liao Liao's producer and song arrangement. In particular, with the deepening of the song arrangement, she admired Liao Liao's singing skills and her grasp and understanding of music, so He Runqing was willing to believe her words almost subconsciously.
Of course, this is not to say that she doesn't trust Li Qian's words. He Runqing knows very well in her heart that Li Qian's right to speak on this kind of matter must be much greater than that of Liao Liao - after all, Li Qian is Liao Liao. Liao's mentor!
When both of them thought so, He Runqing immediately fell into deep thought.
Li Qian knows that the change of thinking is definitely not a short-term thing, so at this time, he did not continue to say anything to He Runqing, but turned his head to look at Liao Liao, and said with a smile: "You try "Evening Fragrance" ?”
Liao Liao was a little surprised, "Me? "Evening Fragrance"?"
It's no wonder that Liao Liao was surprised. In fact, no matter who it is, after getting the song "Evening Fragrance", they will definitely subconsciously feel that the way this song is so tender, it must be the most suitable for He Runqing's voice to sing.
In fact, after getting the songbook and reading it twice, Liao Liao and He Runqing also subconsciously divided the work in this way—but Li Qian didn't.
Perhaps in the end, these two songs will still be recorded in the same way that Liao Liao sang "The Great River Goes East" and He Runqing sang "Evening Fragrance". The way of voice is the way that TV drama producers and audiences are most familiar with and feel great without thinking. So in order to win this business, it must be the best way to record.
But at least in the current song practice process, the high pitch of "Shanghai Bund" and the tenderness of "Evening Fragrance", these two songs seem to be easily fixed in terms of thinking. In other words, it is the best starting point for tuning and teaching—if such a good opportunity is not used, Li Qian's twenty years of music career will be in vain.
Therefore, with such a good whetstone as Liao Liao here, he just wanted to use these two songs to sharpen He Runqing first!
The communication between Li Qian and Liao Liao can obviously be more direct. Even, because the two have cooperated many times, it is easier to reveal each other's thoughts. Li Qian often only needs to give a few words!
So at this time, facing Liao Liao's astonishment, and He Runqing's expression on the other end of the piano, which was obviously more surprised than Liao Liao, Li Qian just smiled, put his fingers on the keys, and said to Liao Liao: "Give you a minute, Touch carefully, I don't want the tenderness in the song "Evening Fragrance", I want a romantic woman, a romantic woman who has sung this song countless times in the karaoke halls of the old society, or... a singer Right, yes, singer! When she is not performing or on stage, think back to the past years, the sadness, the vicissitudes... I want you to sing this flavor!"
When Liao Liao heard this, she was a little stunned at first, but immediately, she picked up the songbook of "Evening Fragrance" from the piano cover, frowned and thought hard while reading it.
showgirl……
Well, she should be smoking...
Thinking about it again, she should have said that she once liked someone to a friend in the world after she was drunk one day, in a sad or self-deprecating way...
So, she slowly sang a certain song she was most familiar with...
... ... ...
Suddenly, the piano sounded.
Liao Liao's expression lifted, and he turned to look at Li Qian.
After a pause, she cut into the accompaniment almost effortlessly, and began to sing slowly and slightly hoarsely: "The south wind blows coolness, the nightingales sing in unison, the flowers under the moon fall into dreams, only That evening scent, exuding its fragrance..."
He Runqing opened her mouth in surprise.
