324: Picking the Thorn of the God of Song (2)

When most people comment on a singer, they describe how good or bad his singing skills are. In fact, how many people really understand what singing skills are? In the eyes of most people, singing skills only mean good sounding, or in the eyes of some people, singing skills are equivalent to being able to sing high notes. In fact, this is one-sided. Reading

On Blue Star, Zhang Liming is recognized as the best singer in the Chinese music scene. His voice is naturally thick and textured, belonging to the middle voice. When using resonance, it has a metallic texture. He is a relatively talented voice. The highest note can reach about A2, and some notes can reach HiC.

One of his strengths is the use of breath. He can sing for several hours without losing tune or breaking the sound. In addition, he can often sing sentences with more than a dozen beats in one breath.

Another of his strengths is vibrato. In fact, there are many people who are good at vibrato in the Chinese music scene, but it is rare to find someone like him who is proficient in all kinds of vibrato. What's more amazing is that he can flexibly use these techniques according to the characteristics of the song. Some slow songs or classical songs use large vibrato, while some grand songs use medium and fast vibrato.

His last strength is the switch between true and false voice. To be honest, the characteristics of his voice determine that the false voice timbre cannot be particularly outstanding, but he has practiced the switch between true and false voice to perfection through acquired efforts.

So, singing skills are already the first, so is there any problem?

It is precisely because Zhang Liming focuses too much on singing skills that he is a little casual in expressing emotions.

Of course, it does not mean that there is no emotion, but the expression is not in place and the appeal is lacking.

As for Jiang Ge, emotions have always been the first and singing skills second.

However.

Singing skills can be taught, but emotions can only be understood by oneself.

Jiang Ge knew Zhang Liming's problem, but he couldn't say it too directly. Doesn't the God of Songs have any face? So he had to think about the wording.

First of all, he had to determine what emotion this song "As Long as You Are There" expressed.

"Young Justice Bao", which once left a shadow on my childhood, became a classic as a detective drama because it was not mixed with bloody love, which made the rhythm tight and each case was done in one go.

In fact, now thinking back on this drama, the male and female protagonists Bao Zheng and Chu Chu have a love line.

The relationship between them is not only the mutual respect as close friends, but also the mutual appreciation and love between men and women. Although it is not as vigorous as in love dramas, it shows through the details of getting along with each other that if you really like someone, you will never leave and will depend on each other for life and death.

Jiang Ge pondered for a moment and said, "Well, let me tell you a story first."

Zhang Liming didn't understand. Wasn't it about singing? Why did it get to the story?

Mei Manlu was also confused. Since it was her first time meeting Jiang Ge, she hadn't figured out his way of recording songs.

Luo Hai and Feng Liang seemed quite excited.

They accompanied Qin Shiyue, Xu Chenyi, Lin Yu and others to record so many songs, so they naturally knew that there was a story behind each of Jiang Ge's songs, and some of them were to be made into TV dramas, such as the theme song "Painted Skin" "Painted Heart", the ending song "White Night" of "White Night Chasing Murder", and the ending song "All the Way North" of "Initial D", etc.

"So and so, so and so..." Jiang Ge wrote novels on Earth in his previous life. After traveling to Blue Star, he became a screenwriter and his storytelling ability was stronger. He quickly simplified the love story of Bao Zheng and Chu Chu into a very short story and told it.

Zhang Liming was slightly stunned, and after a slight silence, he suddenly said: "I understand!"

Mei Manlu also had insights, and the look in Jiang Ge's eyes changed. He was worthy of being the one who swept the Golden Melody Awards.

The four words "return to nature" use a simple singing method to express the beauty of men and women in love.

After adjustments, the second recording began.

Mei Manlu and Zhang Liming in the recording studio put on monitoring headphones, closed their eyes slightly, listened to the prelude, and brewed emotions.

Mei Manlu's voice was a little hoarse, singing: "Who can tell me if there is such a pen

Can draw a pair of eyes without tears

Can retain the fleeting time in the world

Can make all the beauty never fade from now on."

And Zhang Liming's voice was a little bitter, singing: "If this is the case, I can comfort myself

Can draw a ray of light in the night without you

Can retain all the happiness and send it to you

The bitter taste has become sweet."

...

Luo Hai and Feng Liang suddenly widened their eyes, changed, the atmosphere of the song became a little sad.

Jiang Ge's mouth corners slightly raised, Zhang Liming's musical literacy is good, he can understand it at a glance, and he can be called the god of singing and has been popular for decades, so he still has something.

This song "As Long as You Are There" is not a hot song on Earth. Even if Na Ying and Sun Nan were invited to sing it, it is not very popular.

However, it is indeed a good song, and the affectionate performance of Mei Manlu and Zhang Liming adds a lot of color.

Finally, the singing stopped.

Mei Manlu and Zhang Liming were still immersed in the song and the story, singing until they were moved.

When they came back to their senses, they slowly opened their eyes and saw Luo Hai and Feng Liang clapping outside the recording room.

Jiang Ge smiled and said, "Perfect!"

It is not difficult for two married people with children to express the "beauty of men and women in love", but they just didn't find the right point to start.

So, he chose the way he is good at, using a story to guide them.

It turned out to be very effective.

After the song was recorded, the subsequent production was handed over to Luo Hai and Feng Liang.

Jiang Ge invited Mei Manlu and Zhang Liming to have lunch, which was considered as a courtesy of the host.

During the period, Zhang Liming expressed his appreciation for Jiang Ge several times, from songs to movies and TV series.

Jiang Ge could see that he wanted to cooperate and felt that he was quite to his liking, so he made a promise to give him a song next year.

In the afternoon, when he returned to the company, he received the final trailer of the movie "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift" sent by the production department, which was accompanied by the song "Catching Shrimp".

Jiang Ge watched it once and found no problems, so he asked the public relations department to release it on the official blog of Huafeng Media and several foreign social platforms.

For a time, netizens flocked to it.

Although many people were disappointed because it was mainly American and Japanese, and worried that they would not feel involved, they were disappointed and might not watch the feature film, but they had to watch the trailer.

At the beginning, there were a few sounds of racing cars starting, the roar of the engine, and then the prelude sounded.

Under the dynamic melody, the picture suddenly appeared.

On a mountain road, the familiar Ae86 appeared, followed closely by a Veilside 350z.

Swish...

The two cars drifted through the corner one after the other!
