Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Vocal Lesson
While fans are discussing the upcoming concert, trainees in the company are also starting to learn vocal music.
This time the class started quite late. Ding Ling took Lu Yao to the hospital to consult a doctor, and the doctor decided the class time based on Lu Yao's recovery condition.
Although singing greatly reduces the possibility of pulling the wound, the body will still exert force. Taking this into consideration, Ding Ling asked Lu Yao to rest for a few more days. Now that Lu Yao's wound has scabbed, singing will not be a big problem.
Early in the morning, after arriving at the company and having breakfast, Lu Yao, Huang Xi, and Lü Jianian gathered in the vocal classroom.
The first vocal lesson today was a chorus of "Blue Sky" by the three of them.
In the past few days, they have become familiar with the lyrics and music on their own. Now, as soon as they enter the classroom, they greet the teacher and start the class without much greetings.
"Have you divided the words?" Yang Hui asked.
Yang Hui was the vocal teacher during the assessment a month ago.
A month later, he met Lu Yao again.
In fact, Lu Yao has been busy with basic and intermediate courses for the past month. I heard that he has now started arranging and keyboard courses, and he also has to prepare for the concert, so he really doesn't have time to take his advanced courses.
Hearing Yang Hui's question, Lu Jianian shook his head: "We've just been practicing on our own. We've been mainly preparing for the dance routines lately, and we haven't really started singing yet."
Yang Hui nodded: "Then you guys sing it first, I'll listen."
"good."
Lu Jianian and Huang Xi nodded.
Yang Hui looked at Lu Yao, who was silent, and received a nod in response.
Then the accompaniment started.
The song "Blue Sky" is quite difficult. The lyrics mainly talk about the journey of constantly striving to climb upwards. Therefore, the climax is a series of high notes, which is very impressive and highlights the power of persistence. It fits the theme of this concert very well, but it is also a severe test for the trainees' abilities.
Based on Yang Hui's understanding of Lü Jianian and Huang Xi, they can both sing, but their singing will probably lack the power to move people like the original song.
Lu Jianian started first. As the prelude played, he sang the first sentence with the lyrics.
"The wind blows past my ears and reminds me softly"
Yang Hui nodded slightly. After four years of practice, Lv Jianian's breath and pitch had made great progress. There was almost no problem with the first sentence. Lv Jianian's relatively thin voice, combined with the soft melody of the first sentence, gave people a feeling of a gentle breeze, which was pretty good.
When Lu Jianian saw Yang Hui's expression, he was certain in his heart that he had made a good start and his performance did not fall behind. According to his usual practice, he sang half of the song very smoothly.
Yang Hui looked at Huang Xi and motioned him to sing the remaining half of the song.
Lu Jianian put down the lyrics, turned to the right, and watched Huang Xi's performance.
"The moonlight shines like a silent promise"
Huang Xi's voice was softer, blending perfectly with the lyrics and music, but Yang Hui frowned, a little worried about the high notes in the climax.
Sure enough, Huang Xi, who sang the first part smoothly, seemed to have some difficulty in the high notes. This song is not in Huang Xi's comfortable vocal range. If he wants to sing the high notes in this part, it is okay, but it will sound weaker than Lu Jianian.
"Not bad." Yang Hui paused the music, nodded encouragingly to Huang Xi, then looked at Lu Yao, who was sitting on the far left. "Would you like to start from the beginning?"
Lu Yao put down the lyrics in his hand and looked at Yang Hui, "Okay."
Yang Hui smiled encouragingly at Lu Yao, and when he met Lu Yao's gaze, he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
The last time I saw Lu Yao, he was also so... indifferent?
It’s not that he should be excited in class or anything, but Lu Yao is so calm now that Yang Hui even thinks there is no one in that corner.
Like—the doll his daughter displayed in the window.
The music started playing, and Yang Hui didn't have time to think too much before the prelude ended and the first line of lyrics came on.
"The moonlight shines like a silent promise"
As soon as Lu Yao opened his mouth with these words, all the chaotic thoughts in Yang Hui's mind disappeared instantly, and he couldn't help but sit up straight.
Lu Jianian also immediately looked towards Lu Yao on the left, and his movements were so exaggerated that Huang Xi couldn't help but worry about the other's cervical spine.
Lu Yao was not affected by these actions at all and continued to sing attentively.
Yang Hui silently adjusted his sitting position and stopped staring at Lu Yao so as not to affect his performance. He closed his eyes and listened carefully to his singing.
What kind of sound is this? Like the gurgling of a spring, the sound of jade rings, it just sings softly, like a gentle breeze that blows away the haze in my heart.
After the gentle main song, the rhythm becomes passionate and the sound becomes faster. After a sudden pause, the heartbeat stops, followed by a series of refreshing high notes, like a clear spring in the mountains, rushing down all the way to the final destination.
After finishing half of the song, Lu Yao stopped. Yang Hui opened his eyes reluctantly and sighed regretfully.
He had said long ago that it was a waste for Lu Yao to stay in the training system!
How long has it been? A month? No, excluding the time Lu Yao spent preparing for the concert program, it's less than a month.
Lu Yao has made such great progress in such a short period of time.
Compared to the assessment a month ago, Lu Yao's control over his voice and breath has been significantly improved, not to mention Lu Yao's excellent timbre and gentle boyish voice, which caught his ears firmly as soon as he opened his mouth.
Who wouldn't like this?
He couldn't do it anyway.
Or maybe he should go against his professional ethics and try to dig up Lu Yao? If he could dig him up, then there was no need to uphold this professional ethics.
If he really can't make it in China, he can still go abroad.
With Lu Yao in hand, are you still worried about not being able to make a name for yourself?
After feeling gloomy for a moment, Yang Hui quickly regained his sanity.
Good talents and beautiful jade also need to be carved. It is said that there are many good horses, but there are few good horse trainers.
Lu Yao is the steed, but is he the mentor?
Yang Hui wasn't sure.
No matter what, Minghui Entertainment can provide Lu Yao with more than he can.
After taking a deep sigh in his heart, Yang Hui looked at Lu Yao again, his mentality had changed.
Although he is not a Bole, he is also one of the teachers of this thousand-mile horse during its growth.
Let him see how far Lu Yao can learn!
The class teaching officially began, and Yang Hui changed from his previous gentle attitude to become very strict.
Without dividing the words first, Yang Hui taught word by word from the beginning, and the three people followed and learned bit by bit.
Yang Hui was very particular about pronunciation, breathing, pauses... If he was not satisfied with anything, he would ask for a redo. After two hours of class, Lu Jianian and Huang Xi were so tired that their legs were shaking. It was not physical fatigue, but mental exhaustion.
But Lu Jianian didn't care about these things now. He looked at Lu Yao's back in front of him and felt extremely unfamiliar, as if it was the first day he met Lu Yao.
He knew that Lu Yao sang well, but his performance during the assessment and his performance at the previous concert... How should I put it, it's one thing for you to know that someone else is excellent, but it's another thing if that excellence is slammed into your face, and compared to that person, you look so rubbish that you're not even as good as a primary school student.
Lu Yao was the person who was asked to redo the most by Yang Hui, but every time Lu Yao redid it, he was able to meet Yang Hui's requirements. As a result, Yang Hui's requirements became more and more stringent, to the point that both Lu Jianian and Huang Xi were shocked, but Lu Yao still managed to complete it perfectly every time.
Is this still a human being?
Lu Jianian looked at Huang Xi, and when he met his eyes, his suppressed emotions suddenly disappeared, and he suddenly felt relaxed.
What should I do if the classmates around me are geniuses and I seem so incompetent?
Find a classmate who is equally incompetent, so that you are not alone.
No matter how difficult the road is, you will not be alone if you have a companion.
Lu Jianian made a heart shape to Huang Xi, "It's great to have you."
Huang Xi had long been accustomed to Lu Jianian's sudden and inexplicable behavior. He curled his lips, said nothing, and looked like he was deeply shocked.
Lu Jianian shook his head and sighed, young man, you still need to practice!
Afterwards, Lu Jianian and Huang Xi went to dance class for another two hours. When they saw Wan Yuanzhou while having lunch in the cafeteria at noon, Lu Jianian couldn't help but go over and say hello.
"Do you have vocal lessons this afternoon?"
Wanyuanzhou took a mouthful of rice, then looked up and mumbled, "Well, what's up?"
Lu Jianian patted Wan Yuanzhou's shoulder, his eyes sympathetic, "I wish you good luck."
Then he left.
Wan Yuanzhou: "??"
What?
He looked at Wu Hai, who spread his hands, indicating that he knew nothing either.
After dinner and a short rest, it was time for vocal class. When Wanyuanzhou and Wu Hai arrived at the vocal classroom, everyone else had already arrived.
The piece to be learned in this class is "If", which is a vocal performance by Lu Yao, Zhu Xiangming, Wan Yuanzhou, Wu Hai and Wu Anyi.
These five people, together with Lü Jianian and Huang Xi, are all singers of the Five Dynasties.
Seeing the scene in the classroom, Wu Hai sat down in the empty seat in the middle in confusion.
The teacher seemed to be in a good mood, but Zhu Xiangming and Wu Anyi still looked exhausted from practicing. What did Lu Jianian mean by "good luck to you"?
He looked at Lu Yao, then quickly looked away.
If you want to read Lu Yao's emotions from his "poker face", you might as well ask him to take the college entrance examination again.
The teacher was still Yang Hui. After the morning class, Yang Hui was particularly looking forward to the afternoon class.
Different from the fighting spirit of "Blue Sky", the song "If" is more like the whispers between lovers, told in a leisurely and lingering manner, which made Yang Hui curious about Lu Yao's performance.
It was the same process as in the morning. Everyone sang once first, and Yang Hui put Lu Yao last.
The most delicious food should of course be eaten last.
Zhu Xiangming sang first. For Zhu Xiangming, this song was completely within his comfort zone; he always had a great grasp of this languid quality. His voice, now slightly hoarse after his voice change, was particularly well-suited to this song.
Next is Wanyuanzhou. Although Wanyuanzhou's personality is completely different from the feeling of this song, his mellow voice is also very suitable for this song. The overall singing is quite remarkable.
There is nothing wrong with Wu Hai's singing. Compared with the first two who have advantages in voice, Wu Hai has always been more about technique than feeling, so Wu Hai can sing more songs and perform more stably.
Wu Anyi is not very suitable for this song. His voice is thin and has a clear feeling. When he sings this song, people can't hear the lingering feeling. He would be more suitable for the style of "Blue Sky".
Finally, it was Lu Yao's turn. Yang Hui was shocked and sat up straight.
Wu Hai noticed the change in Yang Hui's expression and subconsciously perked up.
The music started, and in the hazy prelude, Lu Yao sang the first line of lyrics.
"Great!" Yang Hui immediately cheered in his heart.
As soon as Lu Yao opened his mouth, he knew it was stable.
Different from his youthful singing style in the morning, Lu Yao now deliberately lowered his voice. His voice was originally very gentle and youthful, and when he lowered it further, it suddenly had a lazy and lingering feeling that matched the song.
Without even taking any lessons, Lu Yao was able to change his singing style on his own. Not to mention his talent, his intelligence alone is extremely rare.
And Wu Hai suddenly understood what Lu Jianian meant by "I wish you good luck".
He couldn't help but use force to hold the lyrics in his hand, leaving deep marks on the paper.
Wanyuanzhou, who had been daydreaming, also raised his head and looked at Lu Yao in surprise.
After finishing half of the song, Lu Yao stopped and applause immediately broke out in the classroom.
Zhu Xiangming's face was filled with excitement, and he couldn't stop clapping. "That sounds great!"
Wu Anyi clapped his hands and nodded continuously.
