If you want to say that the movie with the most attention in the film circle recently, the movie "Hot and Hot" directed by Jia Ling must have a name.
I think many friends or passers-by who pay attention to the author also know that Zhou Shen sang the companion song of the movie "Hot and Hot": "Little Happiness".
Although it is not the theme song of the movie, the lyrics and music lineup are relatively good, Li Cong completed the lyrics, and Peng Fei completed the composition and arrangement.
As of the time of writing, the number of real-time listeners of "Little Happiness" has reached 42,753, which is a proper hit data.
Combined with some posts I have seen recently, the author suddenly has more thoughts.
It wasn't until Zhou Shen sang Jia Ling's movie OST that I understood why netizens said that he robbed female singers of their jobs.
01
What is the saying about robbing female singers of their jobs?
What netizens mean is probably that because Zhou Shen's voice is like a female voice, his presence in the music industry has robbed a large part of the jobs of female singers.
Without him, the resources of these female singers would be better.
Is this the case?
In fact, it is not appropriate to use the word robbery, it is deserved, why should it be called robbery?
And Zhou Shen's situation in the music industry is actually far more complicated than imagined.
02
Take this "Little Happiness" as an example, as a standard movie OST, such a resource naturally needs to be fought for by yourself.
And how to fight for it? That is naturally a matter of who the promoter chooses to watch the movie.
Xiao Meiman, the song itself is sweet and a song that takes the warm route, the tone of the song is high, and the overall voice is more feminine.
And the final choice of the movie promoter is Zhou Shen, Zhou Shen completed this song very well, the main song part did not add too many voices to sing, when you listen to it, you can feel that Zhou Shen is singing this song with a smile.
What a female singer can't do in the middle and bass, Zhou Shen can do;
What male singers can't do in the middle and high notes, Zhou Shen can also do.
Such a song may be sung by other female singers, but the final effect will not be so good.
03
Instead of complaining, it is better to develop yourself.
Zhou Shen's resources have never been obtained by grabbing, but by strength.
Take the songs of the three groups of small characters as an example, in fact, there are still male voices in the Chinese music scene who can roam in the three groups.
Zhou Shen can, Zhang Jie can, Li Yugang can also ......
There are also many singers who can also swim in the male voice change area of the second group of small characters.
For example, Lin Junjie, Shan Yichun, Huang Xiaoyun, Zhou Shen, Zhang Jie, etc.
Assuming that a song is set around B4 at the beginning of the chorus, then Party A's range of choices is actually very large, B4 top male voices can be sung, and regular female voices can also be sung.
At this moment, it depends on who Party A prefers more.
04
If a singer wants to be selected by Party A, in the author's opinion, there are the following factors.
The first point: there should be traffic itself.
OST songs still have relatively high traffic requirements for singers, because this can help film and television dramas to be promoted and distributed well.
Although whether the final film and television drama can be a big hit depends entirely on the film and television drama itself, the free publicity of the singer attached to the initial OST can also allow the film and television drama to have more advantages and gain more exposure in the early stage.
The second point: the rollover rate is low.
In recent years, the rollover rate of traffic stars and the new generation of stars is still relatively high.
So when Party A's film and television drama OST chooses a singer, it will naturally choose a singer with a positive overall image and a low rollover rate.
can't take the risk of cooperating with high-risk artists for a little profit, so if many singers don't have music resources in their hands for a long time, they may really have to reflect on how bad their external image is.
The third point: singing skills are up to standard.
The last third point is the simplest requirement, singing skills are up to standard, then it is naturally possible to be selected by Party A, and a considerable part of OST has a bit harsh requirements for singing skills.
05
To sum up, in fact, it is not difficult to find that it is not so much that Zhou Shen robbed the female singer of his job, but that because the female singer's own competitiveness is too low, she was replaced by others.
Moreover, singers do not compete with some people in the entertainment industry, but with everyone on the same track.
In the field of OST, there are not only female singers.
And Zhou Shen's vocal range is not just super treble.
