The legend of rebirth

Chapter 33 Prime Number Cicada

"The song that Chu Mo'er brought to everyone is "Prime Number Cicada"."

As soon as Wang Xiao finished speaking, the music started, and Chu Mo'er started singing:
"It is said that there is a kind of cicada that has been sleeping underground for seventeen years, just to avoid the harm of the previous life..."

Chu Moer chose this song. Like "Meteor", it is a highly popular song, and it is also one of the popular hits in recent years. However, compared with the overall soothing of Meteor, the main chorus of this song There's a big difference in sound.

The treble part is not as good as the low-key version of "Phantom", but in the popular singing style, it can be regarded as a difficult song.At least in KTV, there are very few people who dare to try.

As soon as Chu Mo'er sang the first line, Ye Luo nodded secretly.

Listening to Chu Moer's singing is like drinking alcohol. She will not conquer your ears domineeringly like Song Yan, but like a close friend, she will whisper in your ears, every line she sings You will unconsciously listen carefully and then immerse yourself in it.

The first line of Chu Mo'er's verse is always so catchy.

The use of voice, emotion, and articulation of the first sentence was well grasped. At first glance, it seemed that she did not use any singing skills, but Ye Luo knew that not only did it contain outstanding musicality and talent, but also Years of hard work.

In fact, Chu Moer has been singing in the competition so far with her mid-bass range. The previous three songs, from "Longing" in the audition, "Those Flowers" in the first round, to "Those Flowers" in the first round The second round of "Meteor" is all songs without treble.

But this doesn't mean that Chu Mo'er can't sing high notes.

For example, this song "Prime Number Cicada" has a high pitch.

However, the high pitch of the chorus of "Prime Number Cicada" is not the absolute high pitch of "Phantom", but a high pitched singing voice that appears naturally after the verse is laid to a certain extent.

The meaning of this song is also very interesting.Prime number cicadas are a general term for a class of cicadas in nature. The larvae live in the soil for 17 or 13 years, because the years of survival in the soil are prime numbers, so that after the adults emerge, they can avoid the natural enemies of the previous generation. It has the title of prime number cicada.

In ancient Chinese culture, the cicada was believed to live on dew, so it also symbolized purity.

And this song uses cicadas as a metaphor, expressing a pure young girl who has just grown up, ignorant of worldly affairs and shy of love affairs.The song is not old, the song from the year before last, but it has a high popularity.

Soon, Chu Mo'er on the stage sang the treble part.

It is difficult for ordinary girls to sing this high note, but for professional singers, it is not a big problem, and because of the needs of the song's artistic conception, the high note will not be hard-topped with pharynx, and it is almost all mixing skills , it sounds soft, and there are breathing singing techniques in it, so from the feeling after listening, it just feels comfortable and pleasant, but it is not as shocking as "Phantom".

Chu Mo'er's handling method is exactly the same. She easily leads the audience to the high-pitched area, and after going around, gently puts the audience down again.

This is also the strategy that Ye Luo made with Chu Mo'er a long time ago. Considering the level of opponents in the competition, everything should be stable before the national finals.The same goes for the usual training, don't be impatient, and don't yell out your throat simply for the sake of soaring high notes.

Chu Mo'er obeyed Ye Luo's words, so she sang "Prime Number Cicada" in a recording studio to ensure that the artistic conception of the song reached that level.

Even in the first part of the whole song, the second chorus, Chu Mo'er's high-pitched voice only uses a six-point real four-point false mix, which slightly increases the proportion of the real voice, making the singing sound more realistic.

But even so, after getting used to the style of Chu More'er's previous three songs, this time Chu More'er showed her treble ability a little, which surprised all the audience.

After the song was sung, the audience applauded thunderously.

"Mo'er seems to have reservations." Wang Nicole heard something wrong, "She also sang this song in the dormitory before, and she is fully capable of hard-topping the high-pitched part with her real voice, and the effect is also very good. "

"There is no need for this. This is already very good. The artistic conception of the song is well interpreted." Ye Luo said softly, "And there is more than one song to be sung tonight. Her last new song is as far as the singing technique is concerned." In other words, the whole song will be mixed."

"You mean, she is looking for the feeling of mixing sound?" Wang Nicole is also very smart, and asked immediately.

"Yes. The sound at the scene was different from last week. In addition, the live broadcast was decided temporarily. The time was too tight, and the sound team did not catch up with the contestants' rehearsal. So Mo'er's first song was actually played through the earphones. , find the best mixing position. If she uses real voice to top the second chorus, then she will lose one chance to find the feeling of mixing.”

"Wow, Mo'er is so smart!" Li Xiuyun said in surprise.

"It's not just smart." Ye Luo looked at Chu Mo'er with full appreciation, and nodded frequently, "The key is the psychological quality. Ordinary contestants, when they come on stage, will do it for the effect on the spot." , to perform with all their strength, even shouting broken voices. And Mo'er, even though this is her second time on stage, she already has a mature strategy, which is called ease."

"But if she keeps it like this, will she be forced to PK stage?" Li Xiuyun asked.

Ye Luo smiled casually: "Two people advanced in the first round, even if Chu Mo'er did not advance, and Song Yan and Zhuo Ting advanced, then among the remaining five players, who else can beat Chu Mo'er in the PK match? Woolen cloth?"

"Should... no?" Li Xiuyun said.

"Definitely not." Ye Luo said firmly.

On the stage, after Chu Mo'er finished singing, five contestants appeared one after another.

Just as Ye Luo expected, although these five players have their own characteristics, overall, the gap with Chu Mo'er is still obvious, and each has its flaws.

When there was a high note in the chorus followed by the verse, the high note suddenly returned to the low note, but her voice could not sink, and the second verse was completely out of tune.The other one was even worse, and the high-pitched voice shouted directly.

"I don't know how far these two mistakes were rescued by the sound repairer in the live sound effects." Wang Nico laughed.

"Go back and watch the TV replay." Ye Luo said, "I guess the tune is still out of tune, and the sound is still broken, but it will sound much better than now. Listening here, it feels like the scene of a car accident. There is a degree of sound repair, otherwise Complete cultivation into the sound of nature, not to mention whether the technology can reach that level, even if it is achieved, you can’t do that, otherwise how would you let the audience vote?”

The first round of singing on the stage was drawing to a close. The top six out of the top eight had sung, and now only Song Yan and Zhuo Ting were left.

The names of the two on the big screen kept rolling, and finally they were fixed on Song Yan.

"Song Yan is about to appear!" Wang Nicole exclaimed.

"I don't know what is her first song today?" Li Xiuyun was full of curiosity.

"I invite Song Yan to come on stage, and the song she sang is "Swing With Me." Wang Xiao reported on stage.

"Wow. Rock!" Wang Nicole was taken aback, "Song Yan can sing rock?"

"Look, the live band is on stage!" Li Xiuyun also said, "Huh? Are they bringing the piano up?"

"Play and sing by yourself?" Wang Nicole was stunned. "Piano and rock, isn't that a good match?"

"The arrangement should be changed." Ye Luo frowned, and asked Wang Nicole, "Will the teacher hired by the TV station help the contestants arrange the song?"

"No." Wang Nicole shook her head and said, "Only because of the length of the song, there will be small adjustments in the structure, and there will be no major changes in the style of the song. It's too late in time."

"Treble, Chinese Opera, Piano, and the ability to adapt independently." Ye Luo sighed and said in admiration, "Song Yan is really unfathomable. How many cards does she have yet to play?"
