Chapter 35 Exercises
One of the biggest advantages of a group song is that different people can be assigned different lyrics.
They only had one week, and it was difficult to get everyone to sing the song "Spark" well, so Wen Yu thought of distributing the lyrics evenly.
Each member is responsible for a line of lyrics, and when it comes to the chorus part, the difficulty will be much lower.
Wen Yu expressed his thoughts.
"But……"
After listening to Wen Yu's thoughts, Lu Ran asked doubtfully, "Didn't Teacher Song ask you to check how we're singing? Is it really okay for us to only practice part of the song like this?"
"Of course."
Hearing the name "Song Shinian", Wen Yu felt inexplicably guilty. He coughed twice and said, "He didn't ask me to check the whole song or just a certain line of lyrics. I'm the captain now, and you just need to follow my instructions."
"OK."
Things have developed to this point. All Lu Ran can do is trust Wen Yu and obey Wen Yu's orders.
"You guys practice with the original song first."
Each practice room is equipped with a sound system.
Wen Yu asked the staff to turn on the speakers and found the song "Fire." "Everyone can pick a favorite line of lyrics and practice it to perfection. After an hour, I will check your learning results one by one."
Some people are suitable for singing gentle and slow passages, while others are suitable for singing hot-blooded and passionate passages. Wen Yu doesn't know much about their singing skills, so he wants them to choose for themselves.
The speakers soon played the song "Spark".
The trainees listened very attentively.
Wen Yu asked the staff for paper and pen.
While others were listening to the song attentively, Wen Yu was already thinking about how to choreograph the dance for "Spark".
An hour later.
"How's the practice going?"
Wen Yu raised his eyes and looked at them.
Seeing this, Lu Ran became nervous for no reason.
In fact, Wen Yu looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, but when he calmly asked, "How's the practice going?", he gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
The first time Lu Ran felt this "sense of oppression" was from Song Shinian. When he first stepped onto the stage, he didn't even dare to look Song Shinian in the eye when he was in the mentor seat.
"I'll pick the people."
The second performance stage determines whether Wen Yu can successfully leave the stage of "Pick Me". Before practicing, Wen Yu has already motivated them, and what needs to be done next is to treat them with the strictest standards.
"Lu Ran."
Lu Ran was the first person named by Wen Yu.
Apart from Wen Yu, Lu Ran was the contestant with the highest initial stage rating in the team, so it was no surprise that he was the first to be called.
"Your overall strength is the strongest."
Wen Yu looked at Lu Ran with a scrutinizing gaze: "So my requirement for you is to sing the whole song."
"good."
Lu Ran suppressed his nervousness and began to sing.
"When the monsoon wind blows across my burning neck, the gravel on the soles of my shoes burns my stubbornness..."
"stop."
Lu Ran had just sung the first line of "Fire" when Wen Yu raised her hand to interrupt him: "Your emotions are not strong enough. Try again."
"When the monsoon wind blows across a burning neck..."
"wrong."
Wen Yu shook her head and pointed out Lu Ran's mistake: "Your pronunciation is wrong. The emotions of "Fire" are gradual, so the tone of the first sentence is relatively soft. You should sing it like this..."
After answering Lu Ran's question, Wen Yu demonstrated how to sing the first two sentences.
Lu Ran tried again.
Seeing that Wen Yu didn't interrupt him, he mustered up the courage to continue singing: "The palm prints are folded into flame-colored faith. Under the frozen soil, the echo of spring thunder can be heard..."
"Wrong."
Wen Yu frowned.
"The pitch of the word 'faith' is a little higher than the other lyrics, but you kept the same tone from beginning to end."
"I'm sorry, I..."
Lu Ran didn't expect Wen Yu to point out so many issues with him after just singing a few lines of the lyrics. He became increasingly nervous: "I'll pay attention next time..."
"Um."
Wen Yu nodded: "Do it again."
The other trainees were shocked by this scene.
Are Wen Yu’s requirements so strict?
They were originally just there to watch the fun, but now seeing Wen Yu interrupting Lu Ran again and again, their faces became visibly tense.
The practice room was unusually quiet.
The trainees who had been eager to try turned pale after seeing Wen Yu's strict standards.
After Wen Yu corrected Lu Ran's mistakes in the first few sentences, she signaled him to continue singing.
"Go ahead! Go ahead! Break through all the iron walls and copper walls,
In the backlight, thousands of stars fall into my shoulders.
Go on fire! Go on madness! Grasp the horizon in your hands,
Watch as the clouds part and the light pours down like a waterfall onto the battlefield."
…
This is a more difficult section in "Fire".
It requires the singer to have abundant emotions and a positive mental state. In addition, the tone of these lyrics is relatively high, so if you are not careful, it will turn into a disaster scene.
Lu Ran was corrected three or four times by Wen Yu. His fingers holding the microphone were shaking, so he naturally failed to sing out the momentum contained in these lyrics.
"Do it again."
Wen Yu's eyes fell on Lu Ran's fingers: "Don't look around, look straight at me."
"……good."
Lu Ran suppressed the nervousness in his heart, raised his eyes and looked at Wen Yu who was not far away for a few seconds.
Lu Ran had never seen such a gentle girl before.
Ever since the first time they met, Wen Yu always had a gentle smile in her eyes when she spoke to him. This was the first time Wen Yu was so serious.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous.
But thinking of Wen Yu's words of encouragement before, Lu Ran plucked up the courage and sang it again.
“There is progress.”
A smile finally appeared in Wen Yu's eyes: "But the last line of the lyrics is a little weak, try again."
Seeing the smile in Wen Yu's eyes, Lu Ran felt like he had taken a shot of adrenaline. He gripped the microphone a little tighter and sang the lyrics again.
"good."
Wen Yu nodded in agreement: "Continue."
"There is an unrusted edge hidden in the bones,
Old scars are medals getting hot.
When sweat soaks every inch of soil,
At the end of the wasteland, the sun will eventually rise."
After singing these four lines of lyrics, Lu Ran subconsciously stopped and waited for Wen Yu's comments.
"What do you think is wrong?"
Wen Yu asked rhetorically.
"I didn't handle my emotions well enough..."
Lu Ran spoke frankly, "My singing movements and intonation are too rigid, making it hard for people to empathize with me."
Wen Yu nodded: "Try again."
…
Wen Yu practiced the four-minute song with Lu Ran over and over again. By the time Wen Yu said the word "OK", Lu Ran had already sung for a full hour.
The other trainees were so frightened that they dared not breathe.
"Who's next?"
Wen Yu raised her eyebrows slightly.
His eyes slowly swept over the people present, and the trainees who were looked at by him couldn't help but tense up.
"Since no one has taken the initiative, I'll call the roll."
Wen Yu didn't give them much time to think. He looked up at the boy in the first row and said, "Zhou Ran."
"arrive!"
Zhou Ran, who was called, subconsciously replied "Here".
"Zhou Ran" was the first "F" team member chosen by Wen Yu. Wen Yu felt that he should set an example.
