Chapter 270 "Chasing Dreams with an Innocent Heart"(1/2)
"Chasing Dreams" is a song written and composed by Su Duo, arranged by Gan Hu, and performed by the GALA band. It is included in the album of the same name "Chasing Dreams" released in 2011.
This song is also the ending theme of the animation "That Year of the Rabbit" aired in 2015.
The cartoon "That Year of the Rabbit" is a legend. It uses a cute painting style to interpret those years of war and has the ability to make people cry while watching it.
On Earth, the song "Chasing Dreams" has a rather interesting story.
The highest note in the original version of "Chasing Dreams" is C-sharp 5 in the international notation, which is half a tone higher than the male High C.
Ordinary male voices cannot sing with their real voices.
When the GALA band sang this song live, it was not very stable. If the key was not lowered, the sound would either break or wander between broken and unbroken.
The reason why this is the case is an interesting thing.
When the GALA band first recorded this song, they hired a pianist to play accompaniment.
When recording, they were recorded separately, with the piano part recorded first.
However, the GALA band gave the wrong music score at that time, causing the piano to play one note higher.
The GALA band had no money at the time, so they asked the pianist to play it again, so they could only record the song with one note raised.
It is said that when the GALA band was recording at home, the pitch of each sentence recorded was indeed beyond his vocal range.
certainly.
This song is also legendary. The highest note of the chorus of this song is on the verge of breaking. Instead, it presents a roar of fighting against fate.
This gave the song the unique effect it has now.
However, this also causes the GALA band to occasionally sing broken notes if they do not lower the key when singing live.
…
The reason why Fang Xing chose this song was because he wanted Shao Yu, Guo Keda, and Lu Ming to get together and play music again.
Secondly, what this song expresses is the courage to fight against fate and to be willing to sacrifice your life and shed blood for your ideals.
In addition, Fang Xing likes "Those Things About That Rabbit That Year" very much, so he wanted to sing this song.
In addition, this song can be very explosive if performed live.
As for the C5 sharp note, it was just within the range that Fang Xing could control. Although it required a little pressure on the vocal cords, it was still within the acceptable range.
Moreover, this song also requires a little pressure on the vocal cords to produce that kind of roar with all one's strength.
…
After Liu Silei finished her speech, she turned around and walked off the stage, handing the stage to Fang Xing and others.
Fang Xing first looked at Shao Yu to confirm that he was ready, then turned back and gave a thumbs up to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming nodded and started playing the prelude.
After two measures of the melody, Guo Keda threw up the drum stick in his hand, raised his hand to catch it, and beat the drums hard.
Later, guitar and bass were added.
With the addition of multiple instruments, the prelude suddenly became full of passion.
The prelude is very catchy.
Moreover, the passionate prelude aroused the audience's emotions again.
If Fang Xing chooses to sing a lyrical song at this time, I'm afraid the atmosphere in the audience will be very dull.
Because the audience at the scene has been watching for more than two hours, the excitement has passed, and the mood is calming down. A lyrical song at this time may have a hypnotic effect.
After the sonorous and powerful prelude passed, Fang Xing grabbed the microphone and began to sing the main song:
"Where is the world full of flowers?
"If it really existed then I would definitely go
"I want the highest mountain to stand there
“I don’t care if it’s a cliffhanger…”
When the lyrics of the main song came out, they sounded relatively plain. They did not burst into flames at the beginning, but told the story in a simple tone, expressing the spirit and courage of wanting to climb the peak and not being afraid of the cliffs.
If you only listen to these two verses of the verse, the audience will not have a strong feeling. They just feel that this is a plain verse without any explosive points.
The guests at the scene basically felt the same way.
However, when the prelude drum beat of the song was added, it set off a passionate melody, so when the main song came out, there was a vague feeling of calm before the storm.
At the headquarters of Merlin Records.
Puxiang Records, Mailin Records and the capital behind the two companies are all paying attention to this last song.
Tan Zhiguan has finished singing, and the song sung by Fang Xing will determine the outcome of tonight's final.
Tan Zhiguan sang "What Love Can You Ask for", cooperating with Ren Qiuya, the king led a first-line female singer, and performed very well.
At that time, the audience even started a chorus. Although there were only a few hundred people in the audience, this kind of feedback was enough to show that the song was a success.
Therefore, as long as the song Fang Xing sings at the end does not have an incredible ability, then Tan Zhiguan will definitely win.
The closer it gets to the end, the more nervous those who follow this final will become.
Especially with the capital at Chen's disposal, a lot of money has been spent on tonight's final.
Even after Tan Zhiguan finished singing, he even bought a hot search and promoted it on major online platforms, calling on fans to vote for the King.
This kind of publicity had an immediate effect. After seeing the publicity, many of Tan Zhiguan's fans watched the program from various channels and began to vote for Tan Zhiguan.
After Tan Zhiguan finished singing, the number of votes kept increasing.
In order to win this sentence tonight, Chen Lipeng has spent a lot of money, so for Puxiang, Mailin and Pengcheng Capital, this battle tonight must be won.
Otherwise, the money spent will be wasted.
Just after listening to the main song sung by Fang Xing, Chen Lipeng couldn't wait to ask Xu Shangyan, "How is the quality of this song?"
In fact, Chen Lipeng, based on his own music appreciation ability, feels that the main song of this song is a relatively plain type and has no explosive points.
However, he still wanted to hear the opinions of professionals.
Xu Shangyan nodded slowly and said: "The main song is very simple, it just tells the story of an ordinary person with a dream and the courage to fight against fate.
“If you say this verse is not good, it’s not bad, but if you say it’s good, it’s not bad.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The main song is relatively simple, and there is no explosive point. If this song is just like this, then the result is basically determined, and it doesn't even matter whether it is released in the later ticket bin.
"
As the producer of "What Can I Want for Love", Xu Shangyan is very aware of the lethality of this song.
Originally, he was prepared to face Fang Xingfang's ultimate move, so he put his killer song "What Can I Want for Love" in the last round of the finals.
The purpose is to go head-to-head with Fang Xing's ultimate move.
However, from the current point of view, the main song sung by Fang Xing is not a big hit.
Of course, this verse is not bad, and it does a good job of telling a story, but that’s all.
Xu Liren on the side said with a serious expression: "Don't be too happy yet, I feel that with Fang Xing's ability, this song should not be that simple, and I have to continue listening.
"However, Mr. Xu and I have the same view. If the song is what it is now, then the tickets in the ticket warehouse can be kept."
…
Not only the senior executives of Puxiang, Mailin and Pengcheng Capital have this idea, but Tan Zhiguan at the guest table also has similar ideas.
They are all singers and musicians, and their appreciation of music is very high, so the perception is quite different.
Ren Qiuya smiled and congratulated: "Teacher Tan, this song is quite bland. Teacher Tan should win the championship."
The reason why she dared to say this was because she saw the reaction of the audience, and then she dared to congratulate her in advance.
Because, when Tan Zhiguan sang "What Can I Want for Love", she was singing the chorus on the stage, and she knew very well the reaction of the audience at that time.
The positive feedback from the live chorus speaks for itself.
Now it's completely the opposite. When Fang Xing sang the main song, the audience just listened quietly and didn't react much. There were only a few waving light sticks.
Tan Zhiguan actually thought so in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face. He smiled and said modestly: "You can't say that yet, Fang Xing hasn't finished singing yet."
…
On the stage, the singing continues along with the song.
Shao Yu used a simple voice to sing the last line of the main song:
"Maybe my hands are clumsy, but I am willing to keep exploring and devote all my youth without leaving any regrets..."
In the last line of the main song, when it comes to the word "regret", the melody begins to rise, soaring into the sky, straight into the sky.
Fang Xing took over the melody and let out a roar that was somewhere between broken and unbreakable: "Run forward! Facing the cold eyes and ridicule, how can one feel the vastness of life without going through hardships..."
As soon as this sentence came out, it was like a cloud bomb exploding above the stage.
The audience at the scene seemed to have been awakened by the explosion. They raised their eyebrows and stared, stunned by the ferocious roar.
