Chapter 387 The things about lip-synching
Chapter 387
Those things lip-synced
The review officially begins.
Since it is a review, not a formal performance or rehearsal, the performance format is basically relatively free. Some of the actors have makeup on, some want to save trouble and some do not. Especially in the song category, they are basically performing their true colors...
Because it is not a rehearsal, the order of the program is not arranged according to the party. Instead, the shorter programs of singing and dancing are mentioned in the front, while the languages are placed at the end.
"The first program, "The Girl on the Opposite Watches", Richie Ren." The host obviously knew that this was a selection. He did not deliberately pay attention to those details when hosting. He simply reported the name of the program and the singer got off the stage.
When Liu Yufan heard this singer, he felt a little moved.
Richie Richie, a Hong Kong and Taiwan singer with two cute little tiger teeth, had a large number of fans back then. Back then, for a while, Liu Yufan also followed him for a while, and the famous works "The Heart is Soft" and "Sad Pacific" all made Liu Yufan remember them deeply.
Of course, the same profound song is also the song "The Girl on the Opposite Looks Over". In Liu Yufan's memory, this song is not very popular, but it is also very popular with its fresh song style. Especially those boys in love, they often saw them holding a casino guitar, standing under the girls' dormitory building, singing this song loudly, and often they could hear the sound of cheering. Thinking of those years of normal school, Liu Yufan missed it a little.
Seeing Richie Richie walking onto the stage with a cascading guitar and long hair on his shoulders, Liu Yufan was still a little excited. Although he is no longer as good as before, he has seen many big names and has no excitement. It can be seen that the singer he likes is standing in front of him so realistically, and his mood is still a bit special.
Looking at Richie Richie from up close, Liu Yufan felt that he looked thinner than in front of the TV, with healthy bronze skin. He wore a blue and white plaid shirt and looked very casual.
A brisk sound of sweeping the strings sounded. Liu Yufan looked at Richie Richie in the stands and found that he was really playing the guitar with his hands. Liu Yufan had also played the guitar for a while and could naturally tell whether the sound played in the speaker was prepared in advance or the singer played it himself. That kind of casual feeling was impossible to express the recorded version.
"It seems that the rumors are mostly true singing of the Spring Festival Gala, which should be true.
Liu Yufan nodded secretly and said.
The problem of real singing and lip-sync has always troubled many audiences. When they see a singer singing on stage, they often cannot tell whether the singer is real singing or playing the pre-prepared recording. In fact, after being exposed to the things in the circle for a while, Liu Yufan had a general understanding of this issue.
Lipstick has always been around. This is already a tacit "unspoken rule" in the entertainment industry. When will lip-sync and when will it really sing? It depends on the specific nature of the performance.
Generally speaking, if the venue is large and the schedule is very fast, ordinary singers will lip-sync at this time. Sometimes, the singers will not be able to sing really, because the organizer will take the initiative to ask the singer to lip-sync. Why? Because commercial performances require the overall effect of the performance, strive for perfection and do not allow the singer to make mistakes. At the same time, the singers often do not leave too much rehearsal time for the singers. For real singing, they generally need to debug the equipment in advance, try the accompaniment, etc. Since there is no time and the quality of the performance needs to be guaranteed, many singers often choose lip-sync. On stage, the singers sing and dance, which is actually just a lip-sync.
Of course, this lip-sync version was also sung by the singer himself, but it was just the effect recorded in the recording studio in advance.
And when should we really sing? What is certain is that if a singer is a solo concert, that is, a personal concert, then it is 100% true. A singer will not be stupid enough to sing lip-sync on such occasions unless he doesn't want to live in the entertainment industry.
In addition, some singing competitions naturally require real singing.
In addition, some more formal performances, such as CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, also require singers to sing. But even the Spring Festival Gala is not really sung every session, and the lip-syncing situation still exists. Later, the anti-counterfeiting sounds continued, and the lip-syncing of the Spring Festival Gala gradually became restrained.
"The girl across the street looks over, look over, look over." On the stage, Richie Richie held the guitar and started singing. Liu Yufan only listened to one sentence and concluded that he must be singing.
The breathing sounds mixed in the sound and the slight Douyin caused by walking cannot escape Liu Yufan's ears. It is precisely these that make Richie Richie's singing seem more realistic.
"It's still comfortable to sing." Liu Yufan muttered. Although those lip-syncing things became perfect after being modified by the recording studio, there was no atmosphere on the scene. Liu Yufan felt that as a singer with pursuit, he should insist on singing in real time.
Liu Yufan remembers that during the official performance, Richie Richie sang this song, and he probably went out of the audience and interacted with the audience. But today he obviously didn't do that. Because there were directors and actors in the audience, there were no people who could interact with each other.
However, this song was still very good and it sounded very lightly. The sound on the scene was very good, and Xiao Qi's voice was basically the original. Liu Yufan held his hands in his chest and listened with relish.
Linghua and Zeng Yi were also very impressed. Such opportunities are not often available. For them, singers like Richie Richie are definitely an existence that needs to be looked up to. In the Chinese music scene, Richie Richie is now in the limelight. He maintains the speed of a new album every three months, and each one is sold out. His concerts in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places are almost full. With such appeal and influence, he can definitely be among the top singers.
This relaxing song also made the directors and actors in the audience relax. Liu Yufan saw that many people were humming gently to the melody of the song, and several of them were still swaying gently to the rhythm of the music.
This is a good song, and Liu Yufan always thought so. In his memory, the show finally passed the selection and was able to appear in the evening party.
Meng Xin listened to Richie Richie's song and tapped her fingers gently and rhythmically, and could not see any expression on her face.
After singing a song, Richie Richie waved to the audience, and looked at Meng Xin in a special direction before he walked off the stage.
Although he looked relaxed, he was actually a little nervous. Even for singers like him, the Spring Festival Gala is still a very, very important stage. Now singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan have increasingly attached importance to the mainland market. This is like a huge gathering of wealth, with a huge market that they cannot imagine.
"I hope this review can be passed." Richie Richie silently cut a cross on his chest as he walked off the stage.
As he walked past Liu Yufan's row, the latter waved at him with a smile.
"Hi, hello!" Seeing someone greeting him, Richie Richie smiled and waved to him. Although he didn't know him, those who were sitting here should be in the same class, and they were of similar levels, so Richie Richie didn't put on any big airs.
"Haha, this guy is pretty easy to talk to. Should I recruit him to the company?" Liu Yufan thought with a smile, and then felt it was inappropriate and shook his head with a smile.
Let’s forget it. Popular first-line singers like this are all great gods. My small temple is still too small to accommodate such big guys. Even if I tempt them with their famous songs, it may be difficult to succeed. If they really like it, they may spend a lot of money to buy it from themselves, but it is unlikely to dig them into the company.
"The song "Eighteen Bends of the Mountain Road", singer, Li Qiong." After Richie Richie stepped down, the host did not stop for a moment and soon reported the second program.
"Oh, it's this song." Liu Yufan was intrigued.
When we started the Spring Festival Gala in 1999, we must talk about this song "Eighteen Bends of the Mountain Road". Tujia singer Li Qiong became famous with this loud song and became famous all over the country. Although there was no new masterpiece later, this song made people firmly remember this Tujia singer who looked ordinary but had a good voice.
Li Qiong, wearing a national costume, a little short, with a round apple face, walked onto the stage from the left.
With a soothing prelude, Li Qiong slowly stood in the center of the stage.
"Oh~~~ The descendants of the mountains, I love the sun~~~~~" The crisp sound was as if the primitive mountain aura made the listeners shocked!
"This song sounds shocking!" Liu Yufan looked at Li Qiong on the stage and praised in his heart.
The first time I heard this song, Linghua and Zeng Yi, were obviously completely shocked by this song. Few people who heard this song for the first time were not "shocked" by Li Qiong's voice.
"This singer is good." Looking at Li Qiong on the stage, a hint of appreciation flashed in director Meng Xin's eyes. Compared to those big-name singers, this newcomer is undoubtedly a dark horse. Although it is still in the selection stage, this program is a foregone conclusion in Meng Xin's heart. Such a distinctive program will naturally be used.
"I don't know what kind of song this Liu Yufan brought to his Phoenix Legend this time." Looking at the new song title on the program list, a trace of expectation flashed in Meng Xin's eyes.
