The song "Raging Waves" has very high requirements on voice stability, breath, and singing skills. If any one of them is not in place, it will not match the mood of the accompaniment and will appear floating and discordant.
Although Ji Zehui has an excellent baritone with a relatively heavy voice, based on Jie Yang's understanding of Ji Zehui's live singing level over the past two days, it is still a bit difficult for Ji Zehui to control "Raging Waves" steadily.
Ji Zehui didn't expect to hear such an answer. He became cautious and looked at Jie Yang's expression suspiciously. He asked, "Do you really think so?"
Xie Yang nodded and said actively, "Teacher Ji, how do you want to adapt this song? Do you have a direction?"
"Let's not rush about this for now." Ji Zehui assured, "I watched your performance video on my phone before. The video was compressed in various ways, and your voice was a little distorted. So I wonder if I have the honor to hear you sing "IUD" live?"
"IUD" has many steep high notes and particularly low bass. If one sings it alone, one must have a strong control over the voice, otherwise it will be easy to distort the voice. Moreover, singing in a group is very different from singing solo. It is easy to make your voice sound slurred and your singing sound flat if you suddenly change your singing style. Ji Zehui asked for a cappella singing. As we all know, a cappella singing is a test of a singer's sense of rhythm and emotional appeal. In short, Ji Zehui was setting a trap for Jie Yang. If Jie Yang messes up IUD's farewell song now, it will be a big blow to IUD.
Xie Yang paused for a moment and said, "It is my honor to sing for Teacher Ji. I wonder if Teacher Ji wants to listen to the original version of "IUD" or the lyrical version of "IUD"? "
Ji Zehui pretended to think and replied, "Let's go with the original version. The singing style of that version is closer to "Raging Waves"."
It seems that Ji Zehui is not so stupid that he knows to find out the truth before doing anything.
Xie Yang nodded to show that he understood, and said, "Wait a moment." He walked to the side and drank a sip of water to moisten his throat. Then he simply warmed up his throat, returned to Ji Zehui, and said, "Then Teacher Ji, shall I start?"
Ji Zehui clapped his hands encouragingly and even praised "IUD" to the camera that was following him.
Xie Yang knew that Ji Zehui wanted to remind him that there was a camera in the room and wanted to make him nervous, so he deliberately smiled shyly at the camera, then closed his eyes, took a shallow breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in the mood, and opened his mouth to let out a happy and loud chant.
The practice room arranged by the program team for the guests was very spacious and empty. As soon as Jie Yang's voice came out, it was immediately amplified by the space, and then it rebounded and resonated, as if it exploded directly in people's minds.
Ji Zehui's expression froze instantly.
The photographer who was pointing the camera at Jie Yang was so excited that he shuddered and the camera shook.
Xie Yang's high notes are different from Tong Jian's. They are not as violent and tense as Tong Jian's. They are more cold and sharp, like an ancient sword that has been suppressed for thousands of years and is finally unsheathed and extremely eager to drink blood. It is elegant, solemn, and has a hint of natural heaviness - completely different from the clear and pleasant bass, but equally stunning and catchy.
After a long and joyful high-pitched chant, Jie Yang's voice quickly fell back, and as the lyrics sank towards despair, his timbre was perfect when crossing the vocal range, without any sense of discontinuity, and his emotions were extremely infectious.
The only sound in the room was Jie Yang's singing, and an invisible atmosphere of despair and dead silence filled the air.
Ji Zehui came back to his senses from his stiffness, avoided the camera, adjusted his expression, and forced a fake smile of surprise and appreciation, cursing Mo Bin a thousand times in his heart.
Is this called dry and weak high notes? Is this called awkward singing skills?
He looked at Xie Yang, who was singing with his eyes closed, and almost bit his back teeth.
No wonder Xie Yang dared to accept his invitation, no wonder Xie Yang had that attitude before, this newcomer is really amazing! Subjectively speaking, this a cappella and solo version of "IUD" is actually better than the other two versions! The first half of this version of "IUD" is more desperate and cold, while the latter part pursuing new life is gentler and more moving. It can be said to be natural!
He could almost foresee what kind of praise and admiration Xie Yang would receive if this segment was broadcast on the show! What a terrifying surge in sales of iud's mini album.
Jie Yang had already sung the most stunning and satisfying high note at the end of the entire song "IUD". Ji Zehui's brain exploded and he couldn't help but interrupt him, "Okay, that's enough, just sing to this point."
A rough male voice suddenly interrupts the singing, and then the singing stops abruptly. All the staff in the room felt as if a rough big hand had pulled their souls out of the fairy's arms. They felt uncomfortable as if they were polluted and couldn't help but look at Ji Zehui with a slightly condemning look.
After being stopped, Xie Yang remained polite and asked, "Teacher Ji, what do you think of my voice? Is it suitable for cooperating with you in "Raging Waves"? "
Ji Zehui noticed the staff's gaze and became increasingly unhappy, but he still had to pretend to be professional on the surface. He said, "Your high-pitched voice is too floating, and it's a bit out of sync with "Raging Waves". I need to think about it again. So, you continue to get familiar with "Raging Waves" here, and I'll figure out how to blend our voices."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Ji Zehui escaped again. Xie Yang smiled at the staff members who were all looking at him, walked back to the corner, put on his headphones and continued to listen to "Raging Waves", flipping through the music score while listening.
The phone suddenly vibrated and a WeChat message came in.
Xie Yang avoided the camera and turned on his phone.
Nagarjuna: It’s settled. I will be the guest commentator for the next episode of “Who is the King of Singers”. Which song did Ji Zehui choose?
Xie Yang: "Raging Waves".
Nagarjuna:? Then he will probably change the song.
Xie Yang raised his eyebrows and typed: How do you say that?
Nagarjuna: This kind of song requires great skill. If your singing skills and expressiveness are slightly better than his, he will be overshadowed. He will not allow this to happen.
Xie Yang smiled and typed: Let him change, I'll accompany you.
…
Ji Zehui came back before lunch and took the initiative to invite Jie Yang to have lunch together.
During the meal, Ji Zehui talked about a lot of professional things, and said explicitly and implicitly, "Although I like the song "Raging Waves" very much, but because your voice really doesn't match "Raging Waves", I decided to accommodate you and change the song."
Xie Yang sighed in self-blame: "Is that so? Well, the staff said that my high-pitched voice is very suitable for "Raging Waves", and I was secretly happy. It seems that everyone is still not as professional as Teacher Ji. So, Teacher Ji, what song do you want to change?"
“…”
Ji Zehui suppressed his anger, smiled uncomfortably, and said, "I'm still considering it, and I may not change it in the end. So, Xiaojie, you continue to familiarize yourself with "Raging Waves". If you have any ideas for adaptation, you can make some changes first. I'll go look for new songs. Time is tight, so we can divide the work and cooperate."
Xie Yang agreed immediately: "No problem, Teacher Ji is really thoughtful."
As soon as the afternoon recording time came, Ji Zehui left. Xie Yang deliberately fell behind, packed up his things in the practice room, and said goodbye to the staff one by one before leaving the place arranged by the program team.
Wu Shui had already parked the car downstairs and was waiting by the car.
As Xie Yang walked over there, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that two more people came out of the building where the practice room was located. Both were women, one with long straight burgundy hair, the other with wavy brown hair. Both were wearing hats and masks, and were talking in low voices.
Xie Yang paused for a moment.
"Boss?" Wu Shui followed Jie Yang's gaze and asked cautiously, "Are there any problems with those two people?"
There was a big problem. After traveling through time, Jie Yang had seen countless video footage of the heroine Mu Zhouyi, and he recognized at a glance that the woman with brown wavy hair was the heroine.
But why is the heroine here? In the original plot, shouldn't the heroine be filming in isolation during this period and establishing a "pure" friendship with another important actor and supporting actor?
Perhaps she noticed Li Yang's gaze, the heroine Mu Zhouyi suddenly looked over here, her beautiful eyes as clear as autumn water exposed under the brim of her hat, even without makeup she was still beautiful enough to intoxicate the heart.
It seems that the heroine has further enhanced her appearance with the help of a gold finger.
Xie Yang retracted his gaze and patted Wu Shui on the shoulder: "Get in the car, let's go home."
Wu Shui immediately retracted his gaze, opened the car door for Jie Yang first, and waited for Jie Yang to get in the car before walking around to the driver's seat, starting the car and leaving.
Xie Yang was sitting in the car and noticed that the female protagonist looked over here several times again. She touched the expensive new car under her and curled the corners of her mouth.
An inspirational heroine who is tough, rational, kind and generous and not moved by money?
Anyway, he didn't believe that there really were such noble people in this world who were struggling in the entertainment industry but didn't care about money or power at all. The author of the original book definitely beautified the protagonist. For example, the hero who seemed decisive, wise, affectionate, and omnipotent to the heroine was, in his eyes, just a big fool who had a lot of ambitions but couldn't even understand the situation.
…
The next day, when Xie Yang got up early and opened the door, he was hit in the face by a bag.
"Change them and go downstairs."
Jie Yang caught the bag of soft clothing that was beginning to slide down, and watched Qiu Xing's back disappear at the stairs. He lowered his head and opened the bag, only to see a smoky gray thin sweater on the top.
“…”
He smiled and turned around and went into the house obediently.
Five minutes later, Xie Yang, dressed in new clothes from head to toe, walked downstairs and sat down in the restaurant.
Qiu Xing was sitting at the dining table reading emails on his phone when Jie Yang came over. He glanced at him from head to toe and snorted with a smile, "That's more like it. You've already started a company and made your debut, but you don't even have a stylist to manage your image. What a shame."
Xie Yang was in a good mood and explained, "The company has stylists, but I asked them to take care of Tong Jian and Ke Lan. Thank you for sending me the clothes."
"Give it as a gift? That's a nice thought." Qiu Xing put down his phone, "All this has to be deducted from the money Jie Xiu earns for you."
"…So you're using my money to buy me clothes?"
"Do you want to use my money?"
Xie Yang really wanted to do it, so he asked, "Can I use it?"
Qiu Xing probably didn't expect Jie Yang to be so shameless. He looked at Jie Yang in disbelief for several seconds and said grimly, "If you change your last name to Qiu, I will let you use me."
Xie Yang sighed regretfully: "If you had said this before I founded the company, I would have changed it immediately. Now that I have a company, it would be very troublesome to change the name. It seems that I can only say goodbye to your noble surname with regret."
“…”
Qiu Xing tapped the table hard with his fingers: "So much talk so early in the morning, let's eat!"
…
Xie Yang arrived at the practice room forty minutes earlier than the agreed time. The staff were still making preparations. They were surprised to see Jie Yang coming so early and hurried over to greet him.
Xie Yang told them not to worry, and asked Wu Shui to distribute the hot drinks he bought to them, saying that he could just find a place to sit and there was no need for any extra attention.
Seeing how easy he was to talk to, everyone relaxed, thanked him for the drinks and went back to their work.
Xie Yang found a corner to sit in. Before he put on his headphones to listen to music, he heard a little girl praising him for his handsome outfit today. He looked down at his clothes, put on his headphones, and sent a WeChat message to Qiu Xing.
Xie Yang: Someone praised me for my handsome outfit today.
Qiu Xing replied after a while: Don’t believe them, they are lying to you.
"……"OK.
