Chapter 541 "Lake Baikal" was selected as an art troupe(1/2)
After finishing the lyrics, music, and arrangement, Fang Xing recorded the demo himself.
After listening to it, the sound engineer was full of praise: "This song is really... so beautiful. When will the teacher release it? It will definitely dominate the charts again."
Fang Xing smiled and said, "This song will not be released for the time being."
After recording the demo, Fang Xing accompanied Lu Xiang'er to the training base of the National Art Troupe for rehearsal the next day.
There is less than a month left before going to Mostel to perform.
Therefore, art troupes are stepping up rehearsals.
Lu Xiang'er also communicated remotely with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra several times, recorded audio, and sent it to assist in rehearsals.
Rehearsal until the afternoon.
Song Yuntao, the leader of the art troupe, came over to watch the art troupe's rehearsal after finishing his daily duties.
"You're here too, welcome. Comrade Lu Xiang'er performed very well and is worthy of being an internationally renowned violinist." When Song Yuntao saw Fang Xing, he took the initiative to shake hands and say hello.
"Hello, Captain Song." Fang Xing shook hands with him and casually chatted about the art troupe.
After chatting for a while, Fang Xing turned to the topic: "Have all the songs for the art troupe been determined?"
Song Yuntao nodded and replied: "Everyone submitted the program together and started discussing it. It's almost finalized."
Being able to be the leader of a group means that he is very accurate in judging people.
Song Yuntao smiled and asked, "What do you mean by this? Do you have any suggestions?"
Fang Xing laughed and said, "I do have a song that is very suitable to be sung at a social gathering between the two countries. However, since the art troupe has already decided on the song to perform, forget it."
Song Yuntao is no stranger to Fang Xing.
Fang Xing has produced outstanding works in the Spring Festival Gala, the Olympic Games opening ceremony, and the military art gala.
Then maybe the two countries' fraternity will also have suitable works.
Although the program of performances has basically been determined, there is still the possibility of additions or decreases.
Moreover, Song Yuntao was very curious about what kind of songs Fang Xing said were suitable to be sung at a social gathering between the two countries.
"What song? Play it and listen to it." Song Yuntao wanted to listen to it first. As for whether to use it or not, he would wait until he finished listening.
At this moment.
Lu Xiang'er finished a rehearsal and took a ten-minute break. He came over to help and said, "Captain Song, have you heard the song prepared by Fang Xing? It's really nice."
"Really? Then quickly play it and listen." Song Yuntao urged again.
Fang Xing pointed at the speakers in the rehearsal room and said, "While everyone is resting, let's play some songs and relax."
"Okay, come on." Song Yuntao personally led Fang Xing to the audio equipment.
Fang Xing connected the stereo with his mobile phone and started playing the song he recorded yesterday.
A beautiful and quiet melody floats in the rehearsal room.
Listening to this melody makes people feel very relaxed after rehearsal, as if they are floating in the lake, and every cell in the body is soothed.
The members of the art troupe in the rehearsal room are all in this field. What kind of songs have you not heard?
However, this song is not a melody they are familiar with, but it is so comforting.
After the prelude passed, Fang Xing's poetic singing voice came from the speakers:
"In my arms
"In your eyes
"The spring breeze there is intoxicating
"The grass is green there..."
As soon as the singing came out, the members of the art troupe present were even more amazed.
"So beautiful……"
An old artist from the art troupe couldn't help but express his admiration.
This old artist, who likes to support younger generations the most, came up and asked: "Is this song a folk song from somewhere? I've never heard it before."
Having lived for most of my life and listening to music from all over the world, I can feel that this song has a little bit of the style of the northern countries, but I have never heard it.
Lu Xiang'er got along very well with this old artist. Hearing her praise, she happily replied: "This is Fang Xing's new song, specially prepared for the Moscow fraternity performance."
When hearing the lyrics "On the shores of Lake Baikal".
The old artist applauded and praised: "Good! This song is very suitable to be sung at the social gathering between the two countries. Captain Song, who will you arrange to sing this song?"
Song Yuntao was a little embarrassed and quickly explained: "Teacher Li, I just heard this song, and it hasn't been selected into the program of the sorority yet."
Teacher Li's eyes widened and he said: "Why hasn't it been decided on such a suitable song? If you can't make the decision, hurry up and hold a meeting to discuss it. There are only a few days before the overseas performance, so hurry up."
Although Song Yuntao is the leader of the art troupe, he still has to maintain respect when facing this old artist: "Yes, yes, we will have a meeting to study it."
Teacher Li gave Fang Xing a thumbs up and praised: "That's great, you two kids are great."
…
The song submitted by Fang Xing was none other than "Lake Baikal".
On Earth, this song is written, composed, and sung by Li Jian.
This song was composed by Li Jian after visiting the shores of Lake Baikal accompanied by the Russian Ambassador.
Song Yuntao also felt that this song was very suitable to be sung at a social gathering between the two countries, so he immediately decided to hold a meeting to discuss it.
Fang Xing naturally also attended this meeting.
Song Yuntao played the song again in the conference room, letting the leaders of the art troupe and higher-level departments listen to it.
After listening to it, the song is indeed great.
The leaders of the art troupe present also said that this song was very suitable.
Therefore, with the consent of all the art troupe leaders, "Lake Baikal" was selected into the program list of the two countries' fraternity.
However, the song has been selected, but who will sing it has not yet been determined.
There are still more than three weeks until I perform abroad, so even if I start practicing this song now, it's still in time.
Therefore, just because this song was selected does not mean that this song will be sung by Fang Xingxing.
After all, there are several national first-class singers in the art troupe who can perfectly control this song.
Moreover, for the art troupe, if they continue to add people now, they have to go through the process all over again.
Song Yuntao took the initiative and asked: "Fang Xing, this song is very suitable. Who do you want to sing it? Do you have any ideas?"
In this kind of art troupe, qualifications are actually very important.
It is a routine operation for a good song to be sung by a senior national first-level singer.
Of course, if the song is given to other veteran artists to sing, then the art troupe will usually give Fang Xing a sufficiently generous reward. This reward does not refer to money, but support from the state.
Fang Xing thought for a moment and asked, "Is it okay if I sing?"
Song Yuntao frowned. This request is not impossible, but the art troupe has already formed a group. If you continue to add people, you have to go through the procedures.
Moreover, Teacher Li just liked this song very much.
Song Yuntao asked: "If Teacher Li were to sing, would you be willing?"
Fang Xing had a very good impression of Teacher Li, and he would definitely be willing to sing for her.
However, this is different from what I thought at the beginning.
The purpose of writing this song in the first place was to join an art troupe and accompany Lu Xianger to perform abroad.
However, if he sang this song to Teacher Li, it would mean that he would not be able to join the art troupe.
Fang Xing frowned and thought for a moment, then came up with his last trump card: "There is also a Russian version of this song. I want to practice the Russian version in three weeks, so the time may be a little tight."
When the leaders of the art troupe present heard this, they all showed surprised expressions.
If you only practice the Russian pronunciation of one song in three weeks, it is actually just fine.
The problem is that for national first-level singers, every performance must be perfect, and time is so tight that singing a Russian version of a song will not meet the highest requirements.
Song Yuntao and other art troupe leaders began to discuss this matter.
There is a Russian version of this song, which is naturally better.
When the time comes, the Chinese version and the Russian version will be sung together at the sociability gathering between the two countries to achieve the best results.
It's just that in three weeks, I have to practice a new song, and I also have to practice the Russian version.
In the entertainment industry, you have enough time.
After all, the entertainment industry does not have such high requirements for singing standards. Even if the pronunciation is not that accurate, it does not matter.
After the discussion with the leaders of the art troupe, Song Yuntao asked on behalf of the art troupe: "Is there a Russian version of the sample?"
"have."
