I Heard That I Am Poor - Chapter 20
Chapter 20: How can he sound so good
After Yu Nian finished his vocal class, he went to Meng Yuans office first. As soon as he entered the door an orange was stuffed into his hand. He sat down to eat, and asked Meng Yuan, Brother Meng, is the program groups plane finalised?
Yeah, it is. As I said before, they invited several qualified songwriters, the full lineup of big shots, to create a song for each of you, and let you sing directly on the spot.
Meng Yuan shook his phone, Just now Lao He was still talking to me, saying that he originally wanted to spend a lot of money to invite Yu Qings songwriter Si Ning. But after asking around, no one has his contact information, and no one can find out about him at all. He also contacted Yu Qing again, but Yu Qing refused directly, so we can only forget it.
Yu Nians hand which was peeling the orange paused for a moment and he didnt answer.
Meng Yuan didnt notice Yu Nians unnatural moment, so he continued, I specifically asked your vocal teacher before and she said that you have made great progress. Even if you dont rehearse and just take a look at the lyrics on the spot, there shouldnt be any problem.
When it was time for the rehearsal, He Qiubai also said the same thing.
I came up with the idea of writing and singing the song on the spot. What we want is the real effect. Dont be nervous. You can sing however you want. There shouldnt be any problem!
Yu Nian was sitting in front of the mirror putting on makeup when he heard He Qiubai say this. He nodded slightly, Okay Director He, I will try my best to make no mistakes.
When He Qiubai left, Xia Mingxi, who was sitting beside him, sighed worriedly, Nian Nian, I feel that Im going to be finished in this round. What if I get out of tune or get out of breath? I will probably be laughed at by my dad!
Yu Nian comforted him, Dont be too nervous, the songwriter wont write songs that are too difficult to sing.
Xia Mingxi babbled, I hope so! There shouldnt be too much of an accident
The recording began, and the five people including Yu Nian stepped onto the stage one after another. There were bursts of screams from the audience, and Yu Nian also saw support plates with his name written on them. Then, the host raised his voice, Now lets invite the well-known lyricist Mr. Jiang Bo! The famous composer Miss Miao Qiu! The famous
Seeing that the camera didnt sweep where he was, Xia Mingxi secretly whispered to Yu Nian, This large list of names, tsk, the show team has spent quite a lot of money, and all those who came are big shots!
Meng Yuan already gave Yu Nian a make-up lesson before. He also nodded, Indeed, it is said that their appearance fee is very expensive.
Xia Mingxi whispered gossip, There was a rumour on Weibo before, saying that Si Ning would also come, and it was circulated so much that I almost believed it. At this moment, the camera turned around, and Xia Mingxi quickly shut up, keeping his standard smile.
In this scene, the invited songwriters will write the lyrics on the spot for a singer. At the beginning, the songwriter will first choose the singer to cooperate with.
Miao Qiu was the first to turn on the green light in front of his seat. He fluffed up his hair that was permed into large curls, and smiled, I dont want to spend time thinking about it, I choose to write a song for Xia Mingxi.
The host asked, May I ask Miss Miao to reveal the reason?
Miao Qiu said bluntly, His father called me four times before. Asking me that I must choose his son. Otherwise maybe Xia Mingxi will be left alone like an orphan, with no one to pick him up in the end!
The audience burst into laughter and Xia Mingxis eyes widened in shock..
The lyricist Xiao Dan supported the black brim of his hat and also turned on the green light, The same dad and the same routine. Xia Yuan also called me to ask me, the content of the call was exactly the same, and he also promised benefits.
The host was curious, Can you reveal what the benefits are?
Treat me to three meals of barbecues.
Miao Qiu answered in surprise, Oh, me too!
Xia Mingxi took two steps back and turned around, not wanting to look at the camera at all, and the audience burst into laughter again.
After the atmosphere was heated up, the songwriters began to think and make choices according to the script.
Jiang Bo pressed the green light almost as soon as the host announced the rules, I want to write a song for Yu Nian.
Yu Nian, who was named, took a step forward, held the microphone, and thanked with a decent smile, Thank you, Teacher Jiang!
Soon, Jiang Cheng on the side also turned on the green light, I have been wanting to write a song with Teacher Jiang Bo for ten years, so, Yu Nian, Ill also write a song for you!
Yu Nian thanked again.
The camera was aimed at Jiang Bo, and Jiang Bo said directly, According to the process, the host will now ask me why I chose Yu Nian, and I will answer consciously.
He held the microphone on the collar of his shirt, The first time I listened to Yu Nians singing, it was recommended to me by my friend, telling me, Jiang Bo, please listen to this persons voice! I dont regret it! After I clicked it, I found that the prelude was Distant Star, and I thought, Why this song? Its too hard to sing!
He deliberately paused, and then continued after a while, As a result, I was reluctant to close it and looped it for one night.
At that time, I thought, if I had the chance, Ill definitely write a song for this voice.
Yu Nian did not speak and bowed sincerely to Jiang Bo.
The reason for Jiang Chengs choice was just one sentence, I trust Teacher Jiangs vision!
The selection session ended quickly and Yu Nian and others went to the lounge.
Xia Mingxi hung listlessly on Yu Nian, complaining with a bitter face, Why is my dad like this! The point is, his precious son is only worth three meals of barbecue? Three meals? Im going to complain to my mother!
Yu Nian said with a smile, Be content with Mingxi, Whats wrong with three meals anyway.
Xia Mingxi stared at Yu Nian, Nian Nian, you actually stand by my dads side! Our friendship is over!
Someone came to interview Yu Nian and asked, Teacher Jiang Bo and Teacher Jiang Cheng are going to write a song for you, will the pressure be great? Yu Nian nodded, The pressure is quite high. Im worried whether Ill be able to interpret the song well, but I will definitely do my best!
Xia Mingxi was asked a similar question, and he made a grim face at the camera, Ill do my best to sing. I wont let my dads three barbecues go to waste.
It only took half an hour and the finished songs were handed over to Yu Nian and the others.
Xia Mingxi glanced at his own, Tsk, my dad must have said that my singing skills are poor. This song is not difficult, I can almost sing it smoothly!
He curiously leaned over and glanced at Yu Nians song, and couldnt hold down the volume, Fuck, this big wave of high-pitchescan you really sing?
Yu Nian was also looking at it, and he hummed twice along with the melody, The climax is really difficult, his eyes lit up, But this song is really nice and well written!
Yu Nian was really glad that he drew to appear in the last, allowing him time to familiarize himself with the lyrics and music. He knows his own shortcomings. He has only read the lyrics a dozen times to deepen his impression, making sure that he will not stumble, and focused more on the music.
If he had just been on the show, he would definitely not have dared to sing this song. But now he takes vocal lessons every day and is used to singing on stagehe can try it now.
This time, the waiting time was longer than before because of the comments of the songwriter. When it was Yu Nians turn, it was already more than an hour later.
He put on his IEM[mfn]Stands for In-Ear-Monitors.[/mfn] and stood in the centre of the stage.
The light wasnt turned on, and the surroundings were pitch black. When the light was missing, a brief murmur gradually sounded, followed by Yu Nians low voice, Pour a glass of turbid wine and sprinkle it into lakes and rivers, whether time is like water
With the progress of the lyrics, Yu Nians ethereal and quiet voice captured everyones hearing, and the scene was silent.
I waited for a long time, trying to save the past, the world is absurd, and even the locks of my heart are rusted
The aftermath of the last word stopped, and a violin string was inserted. Ten seconds later, the music stopped completely. The audience at the scene finally seemed to have come to their senses, and the applause was like a tidal wave, surrounding the entire stage.
Yu Nian let out a sigh of relief and bowed with a smile, Thank you, everyone, Im done singing.
The lights were bright, and the host strode onto the stage, interviewing the songwriters as usual, Excuse me, two teachers, did Yu Nian interpret what you want to express?
Jiang Cheng looked at Jiang Bo and said first, Im very surprised. He seriously commented, When I was writing the song with Teacher Jiang Bo, I asked Teacher Jiang, what kind of song should we write? Teacher Jiang didnt leave any room for others, and directly said to write a song with high difficulty. Then there is this song.
He touched his nose, I can only say, you really sing very well. If you want to make an album in the future, I am willing to write songs for you for free!
Yu Nian bowed and thanked.
Jiang Bo turned the pen in his hand and boasted before speaking, I found that my eyesight is really good.
The audience was amused by the smugness in his words.
Yu Nian sang this song written by Teacher Jiang Cheng and me, and the singing style was different from the previous ones. This time, he controlled the tone to be bright and slightly hoarse, giving people a hazy auditory feeling. The onset was very light, the larynx position was low, the larynx wasnt actively opened, and there were a few sentences that seemed to be squeezed out of the throat deliberately. The high-pitched part stayed for a long time, plus the transposition, it is very fantastic, so beautiful!
Jiang Bo wrote four words on the writing board and turned it to the stage with both hands holding the writing board, which clearly readsThe Sound of Nature.
This is what I want to say.
The writing board with the words The Sound of Nature written on it by Jiang Bo was also filmed, and posted on Weibo on the day the program was broadcast, with the text, The trip hasnt been made in vain.
At the same time, #Yu Nian The Sound of Nature# was also on the hot search list in a very short period of time.
[I listened to it three times in one go! Its so good!! It really touched my heart! My mother passed by the door of my room and couldnt help but listen to it with me, and asked me who was singing!]
[No. 1, No. 1! No. 1 again! Aaaahhhh, Nian Nian actually sang a song written by Teacher Jiang Bo and Teacher Jiang Cheng! What kind of heavenly group is this! Aaahhh, Im looking forward to the next album!]
[Its really the sound of nature! I used to love my Nian Nians face! Now I find that I was too superficial in the past!]
[Aaaahhhh, Im hooked with this little brother!! Aaahhh, who is he! That voice is so good!]
[Im the only one who finds out that Nian Nians line of sight didnt leave the teleprompter from the beginning to the end? Hahahaha hilarious! So cute! Love him for 10,000 years!]
Meng Yuan was swiping Weibo in the practice room, and when Yu Nian finished dancing, he handed a towel over, Wipe your sweat, dont catch a cold. He shook his phone again, and the lines at the end of his eyes were full of smiles, Im calm now, every time the show is broadcast, you get on the hot search. Im not used to it by now. Theres no need to buy it, and its really economical!
Yu Nian bent the corners of his mouth to wipe the sweat, then picked up the water glass and took a sip of water. At this moment, Meng Yuans voice suddenly became a little weird.
Nian Nian Would you like to take a look?
Yu Nians lips were stained with water, and he tilted his head when he heard the words, What are you looking at?
Then his eyes fell on the screen of his mobile phone, and at the top was a new Weibo post.
Xie You: #Yu Nian The Sound of Nature# It must autotuned. How could it be possible to sing so nicely?
Twenty minutes later, #XieYouYuNian# and #Who is Yu Nian?# Two topics together were on the hot search.
