Chapter 285 0285, The First Phase Was All Supported by Him (1)
After shooting the short video, Yunfeng returned to the hotel.
Strangely, he did not see other contestants participating in the program "Sing My Song in China".
What he did not know was that he was "valued" by the chief director.
This meant that among the fifteen contestants who recorded the first episode, the chief director was the only one who personally received him.
However...
If Yunfeng knew about this so-called "value", he would definitely complain about it. It would be better to give him more labor fees.
"Have you arrived at Yanjing?"
"Yes, I have already reported to the China Television Building."
"Have you met Teacher Chang Huan?"
"No, I only met the chief director, and I didn't see anyone else. Don't worry, I will definitely meet him during rehearsal or recording, and I will definitely ask for his autograph for you then."
"(* ̄3 ̄), come on."
"I will."
...
Chang Huan, a famous male pop singer, original musician, and distinguished professor at the Central Conservatory of Music.
Not only is his singing level and audience love very high, but he is also praised as the first person in China in the field of computer composition and arrangement. Many of the music works he created since his debut have also been sung very frequently.
In general, Chang Huan is no longer just a singer, but has made outstanding contributions in many fields such as music creation and music education. He has even played his exemplary leading role in various social activities.
He is the well-deserved godfather of music in the Chinese national anthem.
At the same time, he is also the idol of many students studying music, and Tang Yu is one of them.
After learning that Chang Huan was the mentor of "Sing My Song in China" and Yunfeng was able to participate in the program, he asked his boyfriend to help him get an autograph from his idol.
Yunfeng would naturally not refuse, it was just a piece of cake.
After hanging up the WeChat chat video with Tang Yu, he opened the WeChat circle to see how popular the program "Sing My Song in China" is now.
"It's comfortable. I watch "I Am a Singer" on Friday and "Sing My Songs in China" on Saturday. One is a program for singers and the other is a program for songs. They are not repeated."
"I feel that this program is more awesome. After all, even Chang Huan, who never appears in variety shows, can be invited."
"This is CTS. Who wouldn't give face? Besides, the main focus is on "original songs", which is just what Chang Huan likes. He has always been promoting original Chinese music internationally."
"But there is a problem. People who write lyrics and compose well may not be good at singing. Will the whole program be full of various car accident scenes?"
"There are still many people who can write and sing, such as Teacher Chang Huan, the king Yang An, and the new generation of Yunfeng, Luo Mu, etc."
...
The popularity of "Sing My Songs in China" is not bad, catching up with the second season of "I Am a Singer" in the same period.
Of course, most of the popularity is pulled up by the four mentors.
And a program like "Sing My Songs in China" can't last for a few episodes if there is no explosive point and only relies on a few mentors.
Therefore, the director arranged Yunfeng in the first episode in order to create topics and maintain popularity.
After all, most of the invited contestants are either unknown or outdated singer-songwriters, or students in school. If the songs are not liked, the popularity will not rise at all.
This can be seen from the topics discussed by netizens, only 10% of which are discussing the contestants.
But no matter what, the program "Sing My Song" has become popular before it is broadcast.
For Yunfeng, it is a good thing.
The two songs he customized with the system have been recorded in Yuntang Music Studio. After the program is broadcast, they will be put on the shelves, taking advantage of the popularity to increase the sales of the songs and increase the cross-border professional [singer] achievements.
As for whether he can pass the blind audition and the battle, he didn't think about it.
This is not letting things take their course or giving up on himself, but being very confident in the two songs.
Not to mention winning the championship, but at least passing the first and second rounds is no problem.
Yunfeng put down his phone, took his guitar out of the box, and started practicing songs to find his form.
He took everything very seriously, and recording a program was not like recording songs in a studio. There was no such thing as starting over. He had to make adjustments and try to show his best side.
The next day, he arrived at the CTS building on time.
Yunfeng walked towards the elevator. A staff member was waiting there. He stared at him for a few times, as if confirming something, and then came up to him and said, "Excuse me, is this Teacher Yun?"
Teacher Yun?
Yunfeng glanced around and saw that there was no one else, so he should be called by himself. He said, "I am Yunfeng."
"Hello." The staff introduced himself, "My name is Zhang Tong, and I am your temporary assistant. I will be responsible for your rehearsal and recording of "Sing My Song in China."
Yunfeng replied politely, "Hello."
Zhang Tong continued, "Teacher Yun, I will take you to the studio now."
Yunfeng nodded and said, "Okay."
However, this title is really...
Zhang Tong pressed the elevator button and said, "Because there are a lot of contestants, the rehearsal time may be a bit tight. The main thing is to go through the recording process, try the positioning, lighting, and sound effects..."
In fact, rehearsal is an opportunity to correct mistakes before the official recording.
The most important thing is to cooperate with the live band. If there are any problems or suggestions, they will be raised and improved at this time.
Generally speaking, more advanced music variety shows are accompanied by live bands instead of playing recorded accompaniment tapes.
Because the effect of singing with live band accompaniment and singing with accompaniment tape is different.
No matter how good the recording equipment is, there will be more or less sound quality loss from recording to playback, and there is no feeling of the instrument sounding on the spot and then amplifying it.
Moreover, the live band will allow the singer to sing more flexibly. For example, if the singer wants to temporarily raise or lower the pitch of the song on the spot, he can do it at any time. Of course, this requires the musicians' good professionalism and super high technical level to support. At the same time, experienced musicians will also help the singer to drive the atmosphere of the audience on the spot.
In fact, this is also a way to test a singer's strength. Yes, it is unplugged. It can even be said to be a touchstone for singers. The original acoustic instruments and the singer's pure voice on the spot, without any effector covering, are the scene and the overall feeling.
Another thing is that when the accompaniment is played on the spot, the singer may lip-sync, while the band is on the spot, the singer has no chance to lip-sync.
As for the program itself, there are only two words-style.
At this time, with a "ding", the elevator door opened.
After entering,
Zhang Tong suddenly asked, "Will you have relatives or friends coming to the scene tomorrow?"
Yun Feng shook his head and said, "No, I'm here alone."
After that, he added, "This, will it have any impact?"
Zhang Tong immediately explained, "No impact, if there are relatives or friends coming to the scene, there will be an observation room recording arrangement."
Yun Feng nodded slightly.
Some variety shows on Earth in the previous life seemed to like to edit the pictures of relatives and friends and insert them in.
And he didn't come to pursue his dreams, so he didn't bring anyone to cheer.
During the rehearsal this afternoon, there was no contact between the contestants, and none of the four mentors showed up.
The process was very smooth.
Although it was Yun Feng's first time recording a variety show, it was not his first time on stage. He had some experience, so he was not nervous or stage fright.
After the rehearsal, he was ready to leave the studio under the leadership of Zhang Tong.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked towards them with a smile.
He was wearing a black cap, a very simple gray-green T-shirt, and black casual pants. This outfit was really amazing.
What was so amazing about such a simple combination?
This amazingness did not refer to the clothes themselves, but to the fact that his muscles were very prominent.
It was extremely difficult for people to maintain their figure in middle age, especially such a perfect figure.
"This is our music director of "Sing My Song", Ding Qing." Zhang Tong introduced to Yunfeng.
Yunfeng had heard of this name.
He is a well-known music producer in China. He is good at guitar, piano, violin and other instruments. He once beat Wu Zhongyu to win the Best Composition and Arrangement Award in the World Chinese Music Chart. He has served as the music director of many large-scale evening parties and concerts.
Seeing the other party smiling at him, he took the initiative to greet him and said, "Director Ding, hello."
"Hello." Ding Qing shook his hand in a friendly manner and praised, "Your song is very nice. I think it will definitely win the favor of the four mentors."
Yun Feng smiled lightly and said, "Thank you for your good words."
Ding Qing then asked, "What do you think of the effect of this stage designed specifically for "China's Best Songs"? "
Yun Feng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect him to ask such a question. He said frankly, "The lighting, sound effects, and band teachers are all very good."
Their ambition can be seen from the stage design. They tried to put the recording studio in a studio just to have a better acoustic environment. This is a very rare attempt, because sometimes, subtraction in design is often much more difficult than addition.
The live band is indeed very powerful, and the level is even higher than the live band in the first season of "I Am a Singer".
Ding Qing nodded, then asked, "Are Zhongyu and Lide doing well at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music?"
Yunfeng knew he was referring to Wu Zhongyu and Yan Lide, and immediately replied, "Teacher Wu and Teacher Yan are both very good."
Ding Qing exhaled lightly and said, "I miss the days when I competed with them for major awards."
Yunfeng raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: You have won many awards, of course I miss them, but for the two teachers, it is a regretful memory.
Ding Qing put on a faint smile on his face and said, "Do your best tomorrow, I am optimistic about you."
Yunfeng replied politely, "Thank you."
Ding Qing admired Yunfeng more.
Because on Blue Star, whether at home or abroad, most songwriters and singers work in a division of labor.
There are singer-songwriters, but it is difficult to reach a certain level. It requires not only hard work, but also high talent.
As a music producer who has been in the music industry for many years, Ding Qing has a good impression of talented singer-songwriters.
In his eyes, being able to sing well and write well is the symbol of strength.
If this is put into the fairy tale novel, it is the so-called "dual cultivation of magic and body", which can be used for close combat and long-range combat, and is very powerful.

September 15th.
At 6 pm, the program "China's Good Songs" officially started recording, but at 12 noon today, the game "Divine Domain" was publicly tested.
Yunfeng brought a laptop, went up to register an ID, pinched a face, created a character, and then went offline.
I was worried that I would be too involved in the game and delay the main business, which would be a loss.
Games can be played at any time.
Yunfeng arrived at the China Television Building on time. The person in charge of receiving him was Zhang Tong, the temporary assistant from yesterday.
"Hey, why am I alone?" Yunfeng arrived at the lounge and found that he was alone.
It was getting late, and besides, he was scheduled to be the last one to take the stage, so the other players should have prepared earlier.
"Oh, this is specially prepared for you." Zhang Tong explained, and then said: "There is a TV here to watch the live recording. Just go there when it's almost time for you."
Yunfeng was a little confused about the situation, why he was given such a privilege.
Could it be...
Is it Ding Qing?
It's very likely that the music director still has a lot of say.
Forget it, why bother with this? A single room is better.
Yunfeng looked around and asked, "Are there any cameras here to record my reaction?"
Zhang Tong shook his head and replied: "No."
Yunfeng said "Oh".
If it is necessary to record a program, he naturally doesn't mind, but he has to know in advance and pay attention to his image when the time comes.
After about half an hour of fussing, the picture finally appeared on the TV.
At the scene, the chief director was making arrangements and said into the intercom: "Every department is ready, the recording countdown is one minute."
"The audience area is ready."
"The player area is ready."
"The lighting crew is ready."
"Camera crew ready."
"The sound crew is ready."
…
Reports from various departments came one after another.
Finally, the host reported: "Director, please send someone to fix the sponsor's billboard quickly. It is not very stable and there is a risk of falling."
This belongs to the benefactor's father.
The chief director quickly shouted: "Xiao Qi, send a few people over quickly."
After waiting for a while, he was relieved when he heard that the billboard was ready. He looked at the time and said immediately: "All departments are ready, five, four, three, two, one!"
The countdown is over.
The recording of the first phase of "Chinese Good Songs" has officially begun.
"Music is the melody flowing in life and the most beautiful language of mankind. Its charm is endless, the sophistication of classical music, the delicacy of folk songs, the enthusiasm of rock and roll, and the coolness of electronic music. It is like flowers with different characteristics, dotted with Our lives." In the holographic projection of fluttering notes, the host slowly walked to the stage and continued: "This is "China's Good Songs" exclusively titled and broadcast by VIVI mobile phone, which 'subverts the trend and captures the vision'. Everyone is also welcome to participate in our WeChat interaction. I am the host Zhu Yue. The world premiere of "Chinese Good Songs" starts now!"
The gorgeous lights and passionate music all arouse the emotions of the audience.
At the same time, four mentors appeared from the entrance one by one.
And Zhu Yue also started to introduce.
"Chang Huan, the godfather of music, has influenced several generations of Chinese people with his music."
…
"Cui Zhiwen, an evergreen figure in the Chinese music scene, has released more than fifty music albums so far."
…
"Pop music queen Wang Junya has won the Golden Melody Award for five times. Her unique music style is widely loved by the young people of the new century."
…
"Shen Kun, a powerful singer-songwriter in the Chinese music scene, has captured the ears of countless people with his magnetic, rich, high-pitched and soulful voice."
…
At this moment, applause and screams came one after another.
Although the live audience was half less than that of "I Am a Singer", with only 500 people, the momentum was not bad at all.
Yunfeng, who was watching on the TV in the lounge, and the players who were watching on the big screen in the player area, both felt the atmosphere of the scene.
but……
Of these four mentors, Yunfeng knew only one of them, Chang Huan, and the other three had only heard of their names.
Mainly because he had only traveled to Blue Star for more than two years and didn't have much time to get to know the celebrities here.
After the excitement at the scene subsided, Zhu Yue briefly introduced the competition system.
Then, the first player came on stage.
