Chapter 297: Miss Luo Quan's Results Are Not Ideal

The first episode of the fifth season of "I Am a Singer" will be recorded on August 26th and broadcast the next day, which is Sunday.

Of course, for a show of this magnitude, coordination in all aspects is required; it is impossible to just start recording upon arriving at the scene.

Things like accompaniment and show effects need to be set up in advance, and the guests cannot just perform however they please. Before recording, they all receive a rough script, letting them know what kind of reactions they should make at what time.

Fortunately, it is just a rough script—like when a guest on stage reaches a climax, you nod and praise them from below. To sum it up, it's just commercial mutual flattery.

After all, the guests participating in the show have high status in the industry; their praise is more convincing than awkward flattery from strangers.

Although Miss Luo Quan does not like to fake things, everyone helps everyone else, and since it is to make the show look better, she herself does not have any particular resistance to it.

For the first episode of the new season, everyone chose songs quite freely. Basically, none of them chose conventional pop music, but it is the first time someone like Miss Luo Quan has planned to perform a musical on stage.

The configuration required for a musical is relatively high; props, orchestral accompaniment, and lighting—the specifications cannot be lowered even if one wanted to.

Fortunately, the resources of "I Am a Singer" are quite good, and the configuration in all aspects is top-tier domestically; everything needed for the performance can be brought out for use.

However, the only fly in the ointment is that Miss Luo Quan's musical was originally a duet, but according to the show's competition format, except for the guest-assisted competition, all other stages must be completed by the singers themselves, so Miss Luo Quan's idea of inviting an outside helper can only be temporarily postponed.

Fortunately, the production team thought of a compromise: playing the original male vocal track of the musical, while Miss Luo Quan completes the female vocal part.

The focus of the musical Miss Luo Quan is singing is on the female vocals; the male vocal track doesn't have much impact—it's nothing more than an expanded version of harmony, so there is no need to worry too much.

These past few days, the production team has basically been preparing for the filming of the first episode. By the 26th, all the guests gathered at Mango TV.

Everyone arrived very early, coming before noon. If things go smoothly, everyone can have dinner right after finishing their singing.

If the tone is bad, it is estimated that they will have to record until one or two o'clock.

It is currently the rehearsal stage, and the audience has not yet arrived; only the director team and the accompanying musicians are present.

Of course, the protagonists on the scene are definitely the starting guests. Although Miss Luo Quan has been famous for so long, it is her first time encountering so many industry big shots who have been famous for a long time.

Not to mention anything else, the aura is quite sufficient, and except for Miss Luo Quan and Kuka Si, the average age is over thirty-five, a generation apart from Miss Luo Quan.

As a junior, Miss Luo Quan naturally greeted the big shots obediently upon arriving at the scene.

The stage lighting and sound are still being adjusted, and Miss Luo Quan also took the initiative to greet several singers from the mainland.

Speaking of which, guest Kong Yue is also Miss Luo Quan's alumna, having also graduated from Shangyi. She just turned thirty this year and is currently serving in the Cultural and Art Troupe, holding a military rank; she belongs to the genuine national team.

"I've long heard that a once-in-a-century talented woman came to our Shangyi; today we have finally met." Kong Yue was quite enthusiastic. Seeing Miss Luo Quan, she greeted her and took the initiative to hold Miss Luo Quan's arm.

Although she is a literary and artistic female soldier, the heroic spirit on Kong Yue is no less than that of male soldiers. Although her gestures appear intimate, her demeanor is quite disciplined.

Just speaking of her waist and back, whether sitting or standing, she is quite straight.

"Hello, Senior Sister, hello, Senior Sister." Miss Luo Quan sat next to Kong Yue with a flowery smile, and the two sat on the same sofa.

The show's recording started as soon as the guests entered the lounge, but whether these shots are broadcast depends on the director. If there are show effects, they will definitely be broadcast.

Huang Lei smiled: "Miss Luo Quan can achieve such achievements at a young age; it is truly rare. In the future Chinese composition industry, perhaps you will have to shoulder this heavy responsibility."

Miss Luo Quan hurriedly humbled herself: "Teacher Huang is overpraising me. I still have many areas that need learning, and besides, there are so many master composers in the country; it won't be my turn anyway."

Lu Huan shook his head and smiled: "Masters are masters, but those masters have long since run out of talent. For so many years, not even a piece like 'A Laughter in the Ocean' has been written. I don't know if it's the collective exhaustion of talent in China or the environment of this era."

Miss Luo Quan said seriously: "I think it's the environment of the era. It's not just China; in fact, Japan, Europe, and the United States are all like this."

If someone else said these words, a group of big shots in the lounge would definitely think this is talking nonsense.

But if Miss Luo Quan says it, it has considerable credibility. After all, she is currently the only singer in the world who has achieved huge success in China, Japan, Europe, and the United States.

Good music is becoming less and less, which is a fact in any country. Whether it is the leader of Asian music—Japan, or the United States, which leads the world music market, the songs on the charts are getting worse year by year.

Compared with the music of the last century and even the beginning of this century, there is a gap that can be called a generational one.

Good melodies were basically used up at that time. It is now harder than ever to innovate. Only Miss Luo Quan, this bug, can continuously bring out new melodies. This is also the reason why she, a newcomer, can sweep the music scene of various countries in a short time.

If she had been born twenty years earlier, she would definitely be one of the brightest among the many music superstars, but the current music scene is still half-dead.

Therefore, Miss Luo Quan's appearance only gave ordinary people a kind of false prosperity. Insiders actually know that it has been a long time since a good work was encountered.

Therefore, Miss Luo Quan's current importance in the domestic music circle is quite high. Many old people regard her as the hope of the Chinese music scene, just waiting for her to enter Shangyi and let those old professors teach her well.

However, Miss Luo Quan is not yet clear about these things for the time being.

In fact, according to normal logical thinking, a newcomer emerges, occupying so much market share of pop music and occupying so many resources; even if she is talented, suppression and exclusion from peers should have come long ago.

Miss Luo Quan's luck lies in the fact that she became famous in Japan when she first debuted, and before her new album was officially released, she had already become a Japanese goddess; no one dared to suppress her anymore.

After returning to the country for development, her talent had already spread far and wide, and because of her huge charitable donations, she has also been praised by the country many times.

With these factors, it is too late for others to suppress her even if they want to.

Of course, even if there is, it is estimated that no one will go to suppress her now.

Such a talented woman is like a hen that lays golden eggs. Being able to get a song from her means both fame and fortune. Everyone is too late to get close to her; how could they possibly offend her?

Speaking of which, after Miss Luo Quan talked about the current worldwide regression of music, it also aroused the approval of many guests.

This thing can be known just by looking at the hot songs on the current charts: shouting, plagiarism, and localization—all caught up in a "good time."

This is also one of the reasons why "I Am a Singer" can become more and more popular, because the public can rely on it to discover those good songs buried by time.

The stage equipment was adjusted, and the guests began to take turns on stage for rehearsals.

The first rehearsal basically just goes through the process. The band didn't move; it was just the singer singing a segment, and then the director arranged the positioning, camera, etc.

It can only be said that big shots are worthy of being big shots. Even if it is just a simple a cappella, the quality of sound pressure and pitch is frighteningly high; everyone possesses unique skills.

And what is interesting is that the singing level of the guests present is even inversely proportional to their age; the younger they are, the better they sing.

Miss Luo Quan's senior sister Kong Yue hadn't graduated from university yet when she won the championship of the ethnic music group of the Youth Singer Competition. Later, she quickly became famous in the country, and not long after, she entered the Cultural and Art Troupe and attended large-scale evening parties such as the Spring Festival Gala many times.

Not long ago, she also went to the Vienna Golden Hall for a performance and has a certain degree of popularity abroad.

Needless to say, Kuka Si is one of the best singers under thirty on this planet. By the way, once he opens his mouth, the sound is high and stable, the timbre is round and beautiful, and there is no harsh feeling at all. It is estimated that his dolphin sound will definitely bring the most extreme music experience.

Everyone showed off their skills a little bit, and Miss Luo Quan, the youngest, performed the final rehearsal on stage.

Originally, everyone thought she would bring an original song for the performance, so that she could win praise from both sides, but the track she sang was not an original, but a segment from a very famous foreign musical, "The Phantom of the Opera."

It is also a segment with quite high difficulty—the underground labyrinth.

The guests basically knew that Miss Luo Quan had sung "The Magic Flute" during her art exam, and the level was not generally high.

However, the difficulty of "The Magic Flute" and "The Phantom of the Opera" are not in the same place. It is not very meaningful to distinguish who is difficult. It can only be said that both are difficult, but the singing style used is different.

However, if you want to say who is higher, it must be "The Phantom of the Opera." The highest note of this segment performed by Miss Luo Quan is the head voice E6 long tremolo at the end. It sounds like the sound effect of a supersonic gun in a sci-fi movie.

If an ordinary person hasn't heard it, it is difficult to imagine that this is the sound that humans can make.

The key is that for a singer, shouting the lyrics to E6 is definitely not enough; it must also have beauty, the timbre must be pleasant, the sound must be coherent and full, and the breath must be stable.

Only by meeting all these conditions can it be called a perfect performance.

Taken together, the difficulty of this scene in "The Phantom of the Opera" can be imagined.

So when everyone knew that Miss Luo Quan was going to sing this segment, they were all taken aback. They didn't expect her to choose such a difficult track right from the start.

However, for the first rehearsal, Miss Luo Quan did not intend to go all out, just doing it as a gesture, which made the guests very disappointed, thinking they could see Miss Luo Quan's high notes in advance.

However, this disappointment did not last long. After many rehearsals, night finally fell, and the audience who applied to participate in the show's recording also sat in the recording scene.

The room where the singers sing is designed and built according to the specifications of a concert hall. It is the most suitable environment for singing. Whether for the audience on the scene or the recording equipment, it can give them the best sensory experience to the greatest extent.

A new episode, new faces, the audience's expressions look quite excited.

In fact, the audience of every episode of "I Am a Singer" is quite excited, crying with tears when they should cry, and being as high as if they were jumping in a disco when they should be high.

Whether the acting is exaggerated or not is another matter, but the atmosphere on the scene is very good, and there will never be an awkward scene where the singer is singing hard on it, but the audience below is as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.

For those who love music, this is the best place in the country.

The host of this season is a girl, about twenty years old, not very old, but her business ability is quite good. After the show started recording, she controlled the rhythm in just a few words on stage, and the audience's emotions were also mobilized.

After finishing the opening remarks, today's main show should also begin.

The first to appear is the talented singer Kuka Si from Kazakhstan. The track he brought is a classic Soviet song—"Moscow's Winter Night" (don't look for it, this is made up by the author).

This song tells the sad love story of a couple who had to separate because of the war, and the woman waiting bitterly in the winter night, never changing until death.

The song is very famous, and there is a Chinese translation version. When the Chinese Cultural and Art Troupe visits and performs in Russia, they will sing this song.

This is a tender slow song, but the pitch is not low. The more such slow songs, the more it tests the singer's control and the ability to integrate emotion into the sound.

Timbre and range are the singer's hard power, which depends more on talent, while integrating emotion into the song is the singer's soft power.

In fact, these two are also the difference between ordinary singers and singers.

Miss Luo Quan's hardware configuration is currently quite high, but the software problem is relatively large.

Fortunately, she can redeem the singer's character card to sing specific tracks, taking a roundabout way to save the country.

Kuka Si's performance can only be described as stable. Every indicator reached perfection, especially the emotion was impeccable. The camera was given to the audience on the scene, and many people had tears flickering in their eyes.

According to the script, Miss Luo Quan stared at Kuka Si with a serious face, appearing to attach great importance to it.

The production team of this season intends to shape them into opponents. After all, they are of similar age and are both internationally renowned geniuses.

Domestic audiences watched the show and would definitely have a comparative mentality, wanting to see whether the foreign genius is more powerful or the foreign genius is more powerful.

These routines are basically the usual routines of domestic variety shows, triggering discussions by setting up contradictions, and finally harvesting heat with discussions.

Anyway, for her, this kind of thing will not attract black, and a serious expression shows that she takes the show seriously, and there is nothing to black.

However, it is unknown what it will be like after the broadcast. After all, Mango TV's editing has always been good, and it can be said to be famous.
