Recently, Jia Fan, a Shandong boy who came out of the "Sound into people's hearts" program, has just won the title of "the most beautiful youth in Qilu", which is the highest honor in the field of youth in Shandong Province. After graduating from the Juilliard School of Music in the United States with a master's degree and studying for a doctorate in drama in Poland, Jia Fan, who had been buried in the road of music education, accidentally got involved with "traffic" because of the variety show "Sound into People's Hearts".
Jia Fan believes that there is no conflict between art and traffic, "Now everyone's musical taste is improving very quickly, and more artistic works will only be preferred by everyone, and naturally there is the so-called 'traffic'." ”
Excellent pitch, benefiting from the father's "interruptions"
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the May Fourth Movement, Jia Fan recently won the title of "the most beautiful youth in Qilu", the highest honor in the field of youth in Shandong Province. After graduating with an all-A master's degree at the world's top Juilliard School of Music, and currently studying for a Doctor of Drama at the Katwitz Conservatory of Music in Poland, Javan's resume can indeed be called excellent in capital letters. However, he is most well known to the public because he participated in the music variety show "Sound into People's Hearts" that competed in the bel canto singing method.
Although the show has ended for more than four months, Jia Fan's life state is still in a very busy state. Just the day before the interview, Jia Fan just completed two performances in Shanghai, and the next morning he had to participate in the national tour of the 2019 "Sound into People's Hearts" Nanjing Station, followed by Ningbo Station, Shanghai Station, and then a concert tour.
On the one hand, domestic performances, on the other hand, foreign doctoral studies, Jia Fan found a balance between the two, "In fact, performance is also part of learning, what I am doing now is telling stories with songs, while learning while practicing is very good." ”
"I'm 27 years old, but I've been studying music for 28 years." This sentence that Jia Fan said when he first appeared on the stage in the "Sound into People's Hearts" program shows his profound musical accomplishment.
Jia Fan's parents both worked as opera singers and later became music teachers, and Jia Fan's music education began with prenatal education. Growing up in such a family with a strong musical atmosphere, Jia Fan said that he was under a lot of pressure.
"When I was practicing singing at home, if my dad heard something that wasn't right, he would immediately push the door in and talk to me about how to sing better, an experience that not all families have."
During the rebellious period of growing up, Jia Fan objected to his father's hasty interruption of his practice, and there were many stumbles, but later he finally understood his father's good intentions. "When I was not so mature, it was very necessary for my parents to help me make some judgments through my own experience, and if some small mistakes added up, they would cause serious problems in the structure of the sound in the future."
Jia Fan's outstanding pitch level in the program "Sound into People's Hearts" has been praised by both Ayunga and Wang Xi, which is the result of his father's teaching for more than ten years.
Born in Binzhou and completed primary and secondary school studies in Jinan, Jia Fan was successfully admitted to the Conservatory of Music of Shandong Normal University. During his time at the school, he won the third prize in the first National Italian Song Competition for Students of Higher Professional Art Colleges, and was also shortlisted for the 15th German "New Voice" International Vocal Competition and went to Germany to participate in the finals.
But Jia Fan does not think that he belongs to the "school bully", "Seven or eight years ago, I was particularly ordinary, that is, a senior who passed by everyone, not so conspicuous." But I believe in a word, people still have to have dreams, in case they come true. ”
Sleeping 4 hours a day, in the "music world Harvard" can only spell
Admission to the Juilliard School of Music in the United States was something that Jia Fan did not even dare to think about at first. Some people called the Juilliard School of Music "the Harvard of the music world", which made Jia Fan, who graduated from Shandong Normal University, hopeless, "At that time, I felt that Julia was too far away from me, and I could not reach even a door frame." ”
Jia Fan was first admitted to the Manhattan Conservatory of Music in New York, after coming to the United States, Jia Fan found that the distance between his school and Julia was not as far away as he thought, "Two schools one on 66th Street, one on 123rd Street, in fact, it is less than 60 streets apart, so I decided to apply for the exam, even if I can't pass the exam, the process of preparing for the exam is also an improvement for myself." ”
Jia Fan's inadvertent attempt to insert willows unexpectedly knocked on the door of the Juilliard School of Music, and Jia Fan became the only non-native student admitted to his major that year. When he learned that he had passed, Jia Fan was so excited that he fell into tears, "I immediately ran to the piano room to call my mother, my mother heard me crying and thought I had not been admitted, so she comforted me and said that it was okay to take the exam next year, I told her that I was actually admitted." ”
The first class at the Juilliard School of Music touched Javan a lot, and the teacher said in class, "This is not a place to train singers, but a place to train artists." ”
When he got Julia's offer, Jia Fan felt that his life was worth it, and there were no regrets, but the teacher's words made him feel that he should have bigger dreams. "It's a different dimension, artists have to know things that are involved in more fields, singing is linked to sculpture, painting, etc., and they also need to understand the cultural history behind the songs."
The Juilliard School of Music brings together the world's musical elite, full of god-level figures, which put a lot of pressure on Javan, but at the same time it is a driving force. "Every day you will meet characters that make you feel that you can't surpass in this life, but what can you do?" I can only practice over and over again, and since I can't surpass it, I will open up my own way. ”
During the opera rehearsal, Jia Fan's classes went from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. it was opera rehearsal time, and from 7 p.m. to 12 p.m. he had to go into the theater rehearsal. When jia fan returned home after the end, he had to prepare for the next day's homework, and he could only sleep less than 4 hours a day, which lasted for nearly a month. In the end, Jia Fan got a master's degree from Julia with an all-A result, and only he himself could understand the effort in the meantime.
Appearance management, not only to pursue the sense of hearing but also to improve vision
Although the aura of the Juilliard School of Music was overhead, Jia Fan was not proud of the famous school, "I have always thought that heroes do not ask the provenance, kung fu finally has to be seen on stage." ”
Soon, Jia Fan "met on stage" with the audience. Because of the popularity of the show "Sound into People's Hearts", Jia Fan became a public figure, and his Weibo fans also rose to 660,000. Because of his helpful performance in the show, the audience also gave him the title of "little angel", Jia Fan laughed and said that his size of the meter nine is definitely not "small", "I don't think this is any 'angel' behavior, I just want others to be comfortable." ”
Because of the high level of appearance, the members of "Sound into People's Hearts" are called "Thirty-six Sons of Meixi Lake" by netizens, and fans almost follow the standards of idol boy groups to chase stars. Jia Fan, who was exposed to the public eye, sighed, "The camera is really picky! "In addition to practicing singing, image management has also become something that Jia Fan needs to worry about." This is also very good, you can be more strict with yourself, singing not only to give people a good listening enjoyment, but also to have a good visual experience, dress up a little spirit, and be happy yourself. ”
The success of "Sound into People's Hearts" has made the bel canto singing method that originally belonged to the high-cold art suddenly have traffic, and Jia Fan, who participated in it, is also a traffic plus. Between art and traffic, Jia Fan believes that the two are not contradictory, "everyone's desire for culture, the taste of music is improved very quickly, more artistic works will only be liked by everyone, and more people who like it will be considered to have 'traffic'." It's good that people can like bel canto and like musicals, and only if I make music better will more people like me. ”
Jia Fan feels that all art is human nature in the end, "What kind of person you are, what kind of attitude your music will convey." He believes that singing is to peel off all your shells and treat it with the original love of music, "respect for every note, respect for every audience." ”
