The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 290: Two songs with only one word in the whole show, destined to be a sleepless night
"Il dolce suono
Mi colpi di sua voce!ah, quella voce
I'm not sure what to do
"

The sudden a cappella singing made many fans at the scene look confused.

Because they didn't understand what was being sung at all.

But a small number of fans at the scene became excited instantly.

Looking at this group of foreigners with high noses and white skin, some people around them can roughly guess what country they are from by listening to the language they speak.

Italy?
"This is... Lucia Di Lammermoor?"

The artistic girl stroked her chin and said a name.

As a European, Emma knew the language to some extent.

"This is Italian. If translated into Chinese, it should be "Dance of the Goddess"?"

“This seems to be the theme song from Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element, right?”

“Isn’t this song computer-generated?”

Many people who have seen this movie couldn't believe that someone would perform this difficult song live.

Aren’t you afraid of overturning?

As the a cappella singing sound came closer and closer, the fans also saw who was singing.

"Michael?"

There was an exclamation at the scene.

Michael Jackson, he's not usually like this.

The song "Dance of the Goddess" is a coloratura song, which is completely different from his style.

At this moment, all the fans had an indescribable strange feeling.

It feels strange, but also quite novel.

However, it was agreed to be a duet between two people, and they were still wondering where Zhang Chen was.

It just happened to be the climax of the song.

When the drums sounded and the accompaniment became passionate, Zhang Chen also came on stage from the elevator on the other side of the stage.

"what"

Zhang Chen's entire verse consists of only one word: "Ah".

But this simple word gave goosebumps to everyone present and the audience in front of the TV.

In this performance, the vocal range spans four octaves, and in some places the transition between true and false voices requires an instantaneous leap of three octaves within two seconds.

Breathing is also a difficult point. Frequent high-pitched transitions require breathing at the appropriate time, but there should not be any particularly obvious breathing sound.

This requires extremely advanced singing skills.

The song begins with a G#4 to Eb5 to E5Eb5
These are all vocal ranges that ordinary singers dare not attempt.

The lowest note is B2 and the highest is F#7, which is no longer within the range of male voice.

Zhang Chen has 7 more keys than the original version, which spans four octaves.

Even Vitas's "Opera 2" does not have such frequent changes between true and false voices.

Perhaps the pitch of the dolphin sound is much higher than that of "Dance of the Goddess", but in terms of the actual difficulty of singing, each has its own merits.

There are male singers in this world whose vocal range reaches F#6.
The song expresses a perfect mood, just like her elf-like aria, partly ghostly.

In this dark night, listening to the silky singing rising in the house, all emotions go away.

After Zhang Chen finished singing the whole song, it took everyone a long time to recover from the shock.

Can a human really sing this?

This pitch, this pitch.
Isn’t this too perverted?
If everyone's initial impression of Zhang Chen was that of a "singer-songwriter", after 02, Zhang Chen's singing skills had caught up with the world's top singers.

It was not until today that everyone understood that it was the word "creation" that restricted everyone's understanding of this world superstar.

It turns out that this world superstar's singing skills are so terrifying.

"Dance of the Goddess" was released in 97. It has been 7 years since then, but no singer dares to cover it.

Until today, they heard the real "human vocal" version at the "World Pop Music Exchange", rather than the computer-generated sound effects produced in post-production.

It can only be described as "horrible".

But
Although this song has brought them great shock, you, Zhang Chen, can't fool everyone with this cover song, right?
Many people spent 1 yuan just to hear Zhang Chen sing the word "ah"?

They feel it's worth it, but also feel it's not worth it.

A very contradictory mentality.

"Okay, I know what you are thinking." After Zhang Chen finished singing, he took the microphone off the microphone stand and directly expressed everyone's thoughts.

"There is a song for you. No, it is prepared for all the singers who come to participate. Please let me go backstage to prepare it."

All the fans looked at Zhang Chen walking backstage in confusion.

Leaving now?

"Let Leon prepare. During this time, let me sing a few songs for everyone."

Michael took over the responsibility of maintaining the atmosphere.

And he is the right one.

Among all the singers at the scene, no one can compare to Michael Jackson in terms of stage performance and mobilization of live atmosphere.

Not even Zhang Chen can do it.

After all, Zhang Chen is just a stand-up singer, famous for his songs and singing ability, rather than comprehensive abilities such as dancing.

"They told him don't you evercome around here
Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
"

"Beat it", Michael's classic song.

Coupled with his classic dance, many people at the scene started dancing along with him.

This also allowed many fans who saw Michael Jackson live for the first time to feel the charm of the world's pop king.

I also believe that there really will be a concert that will make the fans there so excited that they will be breathtaking.

After Michael sang five songs on the stage alone, many people at the scene began to regard this exchange meeting as a pure enjoyment.

They no longer think about which singer has the best singing skills, nor do they care about who is better.

They are now completely immersed in this rare event tonight.

When everyone was enjoying it, suddenly the lights on the stage went out.

Everyone was stunned.

power cut?
Even the Chinese leaders sitting in the front row began to whisper to each other, and some of them wanted to take out their cell phones to ask what was going on.

If this happens, the shame will be shared with the whole world.

But before they could take out their phones, the lights on the stage returned to normal.

What appeared before their eyes was a symphony orchestra of up to a hundred people!
In just a few minutes, they had found their place.

Some fans who were born in the capital and love music looked at the familiar first violin, second violin, viola, cello, double bass, woodwind, brass and other musicians on the big screen.

There are also many traditional Chinese musical instruments, such as drums, yangqin, flutes, and pipes.

It’s just that these traditional Chinese musical instruments are somewhat different from the previous images. These instruments are full of metallic texture, giving people a feeling of war and iron horses.

It was the first time for them to see a symphony combining Chinese and Western elements.

They had already guessed where the symphony orchestra came from.

"Capital Symphony Orchestra, but why are there so many folk music?" "Where is Conductor Tan?"

Conductor Tan, Tan Lihua.

He is the conductor of this symphony orchestra.

Logically speaking, once the band appears, the conductor should also appear.

But until all the musicians picked up their instruments, there was still no sign of the conductor.

When everyone was wondering, all the singers who had just performed, including Michael Jackson, returned to the back of the center of the stage. All the singers were arranged in three rows on both sides according to gender.

On the left, Madonna, Dion, and the Princess are in the front row, with three microphones placed in front of them.

On the right are Michael Jackson, Zhang Guorong and Liu Huan, and there are also three microphones in front.

Only after they had taken their positions did a staff member arrive late and set up the conductor's position directly in front of the "choir".

Everyone thought that Tan Lihua should appear at this time, but the person who came up was surprising.

"Zhang Chen?!"

"Why is he holding a baton?"

Many viewers saw Zhang Chen’s outfit through the big screen.

The grey Zhongshan suit combines the neatness of a Western formal dress with the characteristics of Chinese clothing.

"When did your brother learn this?"

Liu Xiaoli was a little dumbfounded. She had anticipated many possibilities, but she never expected that Zhang Chen would appear on stage as a band conductor at today's exchange meeting.

"I don't know either." Liu Xiaoli was dumbfounded, and Liu Yifei was in almost the same state.

Could it be that he usually sleeps until noon, and Zhang Chen secretly practices his magical skills in the morning?
She felt like she had missed another opportunity to improve herself.

It seems that every time when he least expects it, Zhang Chen always uses this time to improve himself.

This was the case with my vocal training from childhood to adulthood, and later with my directing skills, and now I’m working on symphonies.

She couldn't even imagine what kind of monster Zhang Chen would grow into in the future.

It seems that Zhang Chen is constantly learning and improving on everything related to vision and hearing.

After comparing the "skills" she possessed, Liu Yifei discovered dejectedly that not only did she not explore these abilities as deeply as Zhang Chen, but she also lagged far behind Zhang Chen in terms of the scope of knowledge involved.

If this continues, she wouldn't find it strange if Zhang Chen could rub a rocket out of his hands one day.

This guy is really perverted.

He always said that he wanted to lie down, but he never stopped getting up at 6 o'clock every day to do his morning exercises.

Liu Yifei was thinking about these things in her mind, but when she saw Zhang Chen standing at the command seat and bowing slightly to everyone, she quickly calmed down.

She also wanted to see how far this guy had run.

Zhang Chen turned around and lowered his baton towards the orchestra.

String music for tuba, violin and bass begins to sound, and just listening to this beginning gives people a sense of urgency.

When wind and percussion instruments join in, this tension takes on a more real feel.

The subsequent addition of the first violin part heightened the tension even more, as if a large army was approaching the city.

Many people already have an image in their minds of a soldier preparing for battle.

When the music enters the second section, the drum sound suddenly changes.

Many Chinese viewers thought of one word - gather the generals!
When the armaments were completed and the soldiers in the city were assembled, it was time to gather and prepare to meet the enemy.

As the image of the army preparing for war appeared in my mind, the female singers joined in the music.

The singing, like that of the goddess of victory, seemed to encourage the soldiers to defend their country to the death!
All the soldiers are ready to go!

The music entered the fourth section, and the boys joined in, allowing everyone to feel the bloody battle with the enemy, the bravery of the troops, and the scene of killing the enemy thousands of miles away.

The blood is boiling!

The sounds of trumpets, war drums, the collision of weapons, battles, and shouts began to enter everyone's ears, weaving one picture after another of bravely killing the enemy in their minds.

As the sounds of battle faded, the chanting of the "Goddess of Victory" began to sound again.

This time, the chanting lacked the sense of urgency and the heaviness of a last-ditch effort.

Because the enemy was defeated.

Now, it’s time to celebrate!

As the last note fell, the entire Temple of Heaven fell into silence.

All the audience were still immersed in the imaginary scenes brought about by the music just now.

Many people couldn't help but rub their arms, trying to rub away the goose bumps they had just gotten.

Shocked!

Hot blooded!

excitement!
Still unfinished!

Even viewers watching the broadcast on TV could feel the epic scenes of war through the screen.

Not to mention the fans who experienced this musical baptism in person.

At this moment, they had so many things they wanted to say and shout, but when the words came to their lips, they only condensed into one word: "Ah——"

"Thank you everyone." After waiting for ten minutes, Zhang Chen finally found the opportunity to speak.

He knew that at this time, no matter what he thought in his heart, he should make a summary.

And there are so many leaders from various countries present at the scene, so he has to speak beautifully.

After thinking this through, he led all the singers to the front of the stage and said to all the fans, stars, guests and TV viewers who came to the scene today: "I have actually thought of many songs, but none of them can express my thoughts better than this song "Victory".

I have been paying attention to everyone's comments during this period. Many people have been arguing about which country's pop music is stronger or weaker.

What I actually think is that no matter which country you are from, there will be different views on music.

As long as everyone likes it, the music they love to listen to is good music.

So no matter how the contestants perform in the "Singer" program, I think as long as he dares to stand on this stage and show everyone his understanding of music wholeheartedly, he will be a winner.

Just now, I would like to dedicate a song "Victory" to them, and also to all the friends who have heard or not heard this song. I hope you can keep moving forward and continue to win on the path you have chosen!

Tonight, there is no failure, only victory!"

Zhang Chen became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally he shouted out the last word with all his might, echoing throughout the sky above the capital of China.

Many Chinese and foreign reporters standing outside the Temple of Heaven could clearly hear Zhang Chen's shouts.

“This is inside.”

“Was that Leon’s voice just now?”

"What on earth is going on? Why can't we go in and film as well?"

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

　This chapter was not easy to write. I lacked a lot of information, videos, and analysis to barely describe these two songs without specific lyrics.

　　In addition, many people asked, the protagonist’s singing career is already like this, and his commercial achievements are so high, what else can be written about.

　　Then I can only say that everyone looks at the entertainment industry too simply.

　　In fact, I have expressed the central idea of this book in words since the first day I started writing.

　　Now that the foundation has been laid, the fun has just begun.
