Preface
In this era when voices are decisive for thousands of miles, singers from the east, west, north and south of the motherland are called to the same stage to compete with world-class singers! Can the sons and daughters of China make a name for themselves in this "all-martial arts" showdown? What kind of thrilling scene will be staged? Stay tuned!
1. Hit the recording site of "Singer 2024" on the spot
On this scorching afternoon, a remote recording studio on the outskirts of Beijing is bustling and bustling. After layers of security checks, we finally entered the "battlefield". I saw that the lights on the scene were bright, the cameras and audio equipment were ready to go, and the stage was full of light, with a "people in the play" atmosphere. Everything seems to smell of tension and excitement.
However, what really makes people feel excited is the innovative format of this show. It breaks all kinds of unspoken rules and constraints in the recording studio, and introduces the difficult challenge of "open the microphone, do not repair the sound, and go over again". This is not only about putting all the singers naked in front of the stage, and competing with the most primitive and pure voices.
All distortion and pretension will be gone, and even the tiniest imperfection will be exposed to the camera. Therefore, the atmosphere at the scene was so solemn that it was almost suffocating, and even the host's soft boos were magnified several times and clearly entered the ears. The staff who are familiar with the work are all solemn. It was really a double test of strength and courage.
And the most exciting thing is the "world-class lineup" this time. As the first midfielder, Grammy Award winner Vansia brought his iconic magical voice to the lineup, which is bound to bring a strong shock wave to the Chinese music scene. In the face of this kind of "alien" level challenge, can Chinese singers hold their doors steadily? What kind of answer will they hand over in the unrepaired and unadorned summit showdown? Let's look forward to it together!
2. Ji Minjia's determination and preparation to take the initiative to fight
Speaking of this person, everyone must be familiar with it. She is the "Velvet Rose" who once became a sensation in the Supergirl era with her natural voice! That's right, it is Ji Minjia who conquered the national audience and became famous in one fell swoop.
Time flies, and she has also gone through nearly 20 years of ups and downs. Along the way, she has injected vitality into countless Chinese songs with her unique voice style, and has become a unique and powerful person in the Chinese music scene. Her voice was like an arrow off the string, shooting straight into the sky with a chilling mountain atmosphere, and then turning into a warm pond in an instant, converging and radiating.
And at this juncture, the "world-class" stage of "Singer 2024" pushed her to the forefront. Faced with the challenge of the menacing foreign superstar, Ji Minjia suddenly made the decision to take the initiative to fight! A chivalrous core is burning, and she wants to defend her hometown's right to speak with her singing.
"Chinese music has made great contributions to the world, and our unique voice and feelings should not be underestimated. Now it's time for the world to hear how strong we are!" Ji Minjia secretly looked forward to it.
As a result, an intensive "actual combat exercise" began. She reorganized and compiled all the classic folk works, from "Orphan's Tears" to "Heavenly Love", every rhythm and tune was repeatedly quoted and meticulously created. She also specially hired world-class vocal masters to teach on the spot, and almost every day in the practice room.
"I want the world to see what kind of impact the unique charm of Chinese vocal music can bring to people!" Looking at Ji Minjia, who was covered in sweat between rehearsals, we couldn't help but sweat for her. Did the high-intensity pressure and tempering make her strength go to the next level? What kind of wonderful performance will she bring on the night of the decisive battle? We eagerly await!
3. Professional perspective of vocal teachers/musicians
When it comes to Ji Minjia, many vocal teachers can't help but show a little intoxicated. In their eyes, this girl from a remote town is already a natural "treasure" singer.
"Her voice is born with a unique, majestic and pure temperament, just like the empty wind on the prairie in the north of the mainland." A well-known vocal professor could not hide the admiration in his voice, "This kind of primordial power from the blood is difficult to forcibly cultivate with hard work." "
Indeed, from the very beginning, Ji Minjia's high-pitched and powerful voice, like a sharp sword piercing through the sky, has caused countless exclamations in the industry. She is like an independent elf in the world, showing a unique style that is unique in the Chinese pop music scene.
However, even this old man who has watched the sound field has to admit that Ji Minjia's recent progress is "really unexpected". Since deciding to participate in the strong showdown of "Singer 2024", she has devoted herself to this "strength contest", and she has done her best in every detail from mobilization to preparation.
"I've seen first-hand the amazing leap in the quality of her voice in just a few months." The teacher was impressed, "Her vocalization position is more advanced, her breathing skills are more proficient, and the resonance is increasing day by day." I was really touched by this diligent and studious attitude. "
Of course, every gemstone is bound to have its own flaws. Regarding the national-style prairie repertoire that Ji Minjia is about to sing on the stage of "Singer", the teacher also put forward some expectations and advice: "Her simple and high-pitched, ethereal and bright timbre is indeed very suitable for interpreting these works. But I still hope that she can strengthen the penetration of language and emotion and the appeal of the stage. "
"Especially in the face of Grammy-level world superstars, she needs to tighten this 'string' at all times, so that the unique charm of ethnic music is as expressive as possible." As soon as the conversation changed, the teacher said earnestly, "If you can do this, I believe that Ji Minjia can really shock the world!"
Fourth, the perspective of the comments of top international singers
"I have to admit that this Chinese girl really opened my eyes!" In the backstage lounge, Grammy winner Vancia couldn't hide the surprise in her heart. She looked Ji Minjia up and down with those bright blue eyes, obviously impressed by the latter's performance.
"Her voice is pure and full of tension, like a three-edged blade unsheathed. But in the highest note position, it can be cast into the gentle emotional color, flowing like clouds and rolling clouds. Fan Xia nodded approvingly, "This kind of voice texture is a fusion of the most quintessential parts of Chinese vocal music." "
Shanti Moore, who is also a Grammy superstar, analyzed Ji Minjia's strengths from another angle: "Her body presents a very good vocal posture, her chest and abdomen are fully open, and the vibration of her vocal cords is very natural. This skill of knowing how to make the most of resonance gives her voice the ability to expand and lengthen, and it sounds quite ethereal. "
"However, in terms of subtle processing, she still needs to be strengthened." Shanti shrugged her shoulders and pointed out Ji Minjia's shortcomings, "The coordination of breathing, the direction of the projection of the voice, and the clarity of the words will be infinitely amplified in high-intensity live performances." She needs to work out these details quickly. "
Regarding their "competitors" on the same stage, the two international singers also have different views. Van Sia was calm and generous: "Music has no borders, we are just competing on this stage. She is a treasure singer, and the Chinese will be proud of her. "
Shanti can't hide her ambitious sense of competition: "I come from the music capital of the world, and I have regarded music as the highest pursuit of life since I was a child. She may have some innate talent, but it may not be enough to occupy a place on this stage where there are many strong players. "
Regarding the "shooting" of the two, Ji Minjia did not live up to expectations, showing the "sharp side of Yulin": "I am very grateful to the two seniors for their pertinent evaluation of me. But I just want to speak through my strength, so that the sisters can see with their own eyes what kind of sound miracle the breath of the East can bring!"
The burning words have been put down, let's wait and see what kind of thrilling scene will be staged in the "life and death sniper war" of this peerless singing voice!
5. The climax of the on-site decisive battle is a bizarre duel
The curtain opened, as if countless scorching eyes shot into the center of the stage at the same time. There, Ji Minjia was just like a hussar daughter standing proudly in the wind, with a straight posture and blazing eyes.
With the last opening music playing, she took a deep breath and suddenly opened her arms and sang! The beautiful figure flashed in the dim light, as if it was about to burn all the strength in his heart. At this moment, the audience fell into a silent hibernation. Even the noisy backstage was shaken by the surging voice.
"On the prairie, the horse's hooves are fast... The wind and snow are flying in the mountains!" In this vast, desolate and tragic atmosphere, people seem to see the boundless northern scenery slowly unfolding. The stirring voice was like a scorching iron, imprinted on everyone's eyelids.
"Agile and elegant, full of tension, this unique aura is unforgettable!" The industry authorities sitting on the judges' bench all nodded in unison, expressing their recognition and appreciation for the strength shown by Ji Minjia.
And it was at this climactic moment that an unexpected episode suddenly happened! Ji Minjia was in a hearty mood, and suddenly her face showed pain, and she let out a short scream! She clutched her throat and squatted down, causing an uproar in the audience. Something went wrong, what happened to this seemingly flawless performance?
"This girl hasn't had a sip of water from beginning to end, is she having a small vocal cord problem due to overtiredness?" As a national player, Fan Xia immediately sent an emergency call to the program team. "A singer's greatest enemy is his own body. This is indeed an unexpected move, but the most important thing now is to check on her as soon as possible..."Shanti's eyes were full of worry.
Once upon a time, there was an atmosphere of helplessness throughout the studio. At this moment, Ji Minjia suddenly stood up again and waved her hand vigorously, signaling everyone not to be nervous. Then, she changed her tone to a completely different tone and started the next high-pitched and loud singing!" This... What's going on?" Many fans at the scene covered their mouths in surprise and barely suppressed their exclamations. And we also looked at the program team curiously, what is going on?
Sixth, the victory and defeat have been divided, and no one is disabled
Although the final ranking was far from the championship, Ji Minjia's outstanding performance won warm applause from the audience. When she looks at her proudly, one can almost read in her eyes the pure love of music.
"I'm satisfied to be able to sing on this stage." After the game, Ji Minjia couldn't hide her smile, "Every time I step on the stage, I will unload my baggage, just to let the smart notes reverberate on this land." "
She didn't care about the situation in the pressure ventilation section: "It was just a small trial. I have long made up my mind to infect every audience with the unique charm of Chinese folk music. So I didn't hesitate to change to a new singing voice and did my best to express its unique flavor!"
The two Grammy winners were also impressed. "She injects the Chinese national voice into the subtle rhythm of the music, giving people a strong audio-visual experience," Fan Xiya said. Shanti said with admiration: "A handful of natural sounds alone can shake people's entire concept of music, which is the best footnote to the breadth and profundity of Chinese music."
On this special stage, what we see is not only a duel of strengths, but also a blend of Chinese and foreign music cultures. This kind of healthy competition and inclusive attitude will promote Chinese music to set sail in the world and create brilliance again!
epilogue
As the saying goes, thousands of miles of music rhyme dreams. What is performed on this special stage is the blending dialogue of Chinese and Western musical wisdom, and it is also the pride of Chinese national music sailing on the world music scene! In the future, more music essences will be born that shine in the world!
