I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 176 Praise (13)

Zhou Shen, although he has not yet become a recognized hexagonal warrior in singing skills, he is indeed very fierce...

In the 12th episode of "Singer: The Year of Fighting", Zhou Shen won two championships despite not being favored by the program team;

Phoenix Legend… doesn’t have many die-hard fans, but is very popular among the people.

Almost everyone knows this group, and their songs are so popular that they are popular among people of all ages...

To be honest, a male-female combination has debuted for nearly 20 years, without any scandals, CP hype, or solo activities. Both parties have their own families and lives. They appear in the public eye in music and a few non-music variety shows. Their works are grand, they are not coy or whining, and they have strong professional skills, which are loved by people of all ages.

This is what a star should look like!

Newly added to these two...

Shen Liang felt the pressure!

Zhou Shen sang "Big Fish" and Phoenix Legend sang "Free Flying"...

They are all representative works.

Shen Liang is discussing stage design with Chen Qiyuan...

Chen Qiyuan is the stage designer of "Singer", and he is very talented. Later, he served as the stage director of "Sisters Who Make Waves" and "Severing the Thorns"...

“It opens in black and white, the camera zooms in, a person stands on an isolated island… the lights are used to design the detours of life, it starts out as a maze… the music suddenly becomes quiet at the end, a staircase appears, a beam of warm light shines on me… I walk up the stairs, and finally finish the song…”

What Shen Liang said was "The Walking Fish"...

Chen Qiyuan read the lyrics and listened to his idea. He nodded and said, "This is very simple... but you have to coordinate with the camera..."

"Don't worry, I'm an actor..."

“This song… is a good song, but it’s not very competitive.”

"…It's okay, I just want to sing…Besides, I got third place last time…"

This is Shen Liang’s confidence—there is no way he will be eliminated anyway!

According to the audience vote, Zhang Tian should be eliminated.

Shen Liang was not prepared to win, as long as he didn't come in last, he was very clear that "Singer" was still a stage dominated by vocals!
Vocal refers to the live performance, and its advantages are: intuitive, shocking, most able to stir emotions, and the most iconic role in singing variety shows.

Vocal and record (recording studio) are actually two forms...

Which season did the studio singers first appear on "Singer"?
In the second season, Victor Wong was a studio singer who was not competitive in singing competitions. Victor Wong's singing was a failure in terms of performance itself, but it opened up a new possibility. After Victor Wong, there was Kit Chan in the third season. However, the performances of Kit Chan and Victor Wong were deleted after the TV broadcast. Many viewers liked them very much, but they could not convince the live voting audience, and both of them were eliminated in the first round.

At this time, a very key singer appeared, Li Jian!
Li Jian's success in the competition changed people's impression of recording singers. I remember that many people were surprised that a singer who didn't sing high notes and sang delicately and softly could compete with those with loud voices...

Of course, Li Jian didn’t win the title of King of Singers in the end…

However, record singers may find it difficult to compete with live singers in live competitions, but they are often more likely to become popular through the dissemination of subsequent works after the show is broadcast and become hot songs in KTV that year.

……

"I knew Zhou Shen when I was playing YY. At that time, he was called Kabu La..."

"Are you familiar with him?"

“…I’m not familiar with him. I don’t even know him, but I know he sings very well…The chanting part of “Big Fish” made me feel like a siren…”

Backstage, Shen Liang and Shen Mengchen chatted while watching Zhou Shen sing "Big Fish"...

Zhou Shen and Phoenix Legend were both replacement singers, performing first and second.

Shen Liang is the second to last today...

Zhou Shen has had many benefactors along the way, including Liu Tong of Guangguang Media and Ai Dajin... The theme song of Big Fish and Begonia was originally going to be sung by Wang Fei, but the funding and other aspects were not agreed, so Zhou Shen took over...

Zhou Shen's first album, "Deep Deep", was released by Ai Da Jin at his own expense and he served as the producer.

Ai Da Jin… In the field of music alone, he is indeed talented and he cherishes his talent. In other fields, he is just like a cheap writer… But he has mixed himself into every field…

Shen Mengchen nodded: "So, which singer did you recommend him?"

"What does it have to do with me... It was Teacher Hong Tao who found him... Don't talk nonsense, it makes me seem like I can cover the sky with one hand..."

"... "

Shen Mengchen shut up...

She also realized that she had said the wrong thing.

At this time, Shen Liang pointed at the screen: "Phoenix Legend is here!" "...Do you like Phoenix Legend very much?"

Shen Liang did not answer and spoke directly: "I am looking up at the moon~"

Shen Mengchen immediately sang "How many dreams are flying freely!"

"Wumeng Mountain is connected to other mountains~"

"The moonlight sprinkled on the Xiangshui Beach..."

After finishing the song, Shen Mengchen was stunned for a moment: "What song did I just sing?"

"Lady Shexiang... a song by Phoenix Legend!"

“I didn’t even know I could sing…”

Shen Liang shrugged: "You must have heard it somewhere before... This thing is a memory engraved in our bones... The popularity among the people is real."

On the screen, Zeng Yi has already started singing, "Yo yo come on baby go, Yo yo, this... this feels like, the fragrance along the way and the swaying waves..."

"Sister Linghua's voice and singing skills are typical of folk singing, which was considered rustic and vulgar ten years ago...Every Chinese has heard the songs of Phoenix Legend, but not everyone is willing to admit it.

I used to think Phoenix Legend’s songs were very rustic, but aesthetics is a very strange thing. Now I think Linghua’s singing voice is high-spirited and majestic, and ordinary singers can’t sing out her feeling! ”

At this point, Shen Liang said: "Twenty years, Phoenix Legend has been established for twenty years, the Chinese music scene is changing, but Phoenix Legend remains forever!"

"Twenty years?"

"Well, it was originally called Cool Fire Band, and was founded in 98..."

……

"The next song is Shen Liang's original song... "Walking Fish", which will be released for the first time on "Singer"... Actually, singing a new song on "Singer" is a courageous thing... Shen Liang knows it, but he decided to sing it... Please listen to it quietly..."

Zhang Shaohan’s talk is very suitable...

Shen Liang also knew that singing new songs on the "Singer" stage was still twice as effective but half as hard...

Original music programs have low ratings, so no one continues to produce them after the few shows that were available flopped.

Sing My Song has been running for three seasons, with the support of CCTV, and there are good songs in every season, but it still can’t continue…

Again, if it weren’t for Zhang Tian at the bottom and Hua Chenyu leaving, Shen Liang wouldn’t have dared to sing “Walking Fish” on the “Singer” stage…

The lights dimmed, and then the camera zoomed in on the stage. The show started in black and white, giving it a full cinematic feel.

Standing alone in the light, Shen Liang slowly spoke, "I'll write a song for you to pay tribute to your shadow. People praise courage, but can I love your crying heart~"

The prelude was so weak that the picture was locked as soon as his voice came out.

When singing the line "People are singing about courage", the word "people" was tinged with sobs, and a beam of light appeared in front of us...

'~We all seem to be like a fish walking on land, learning to breathe, living in loneliness and bustle, enduring the pain and moving forward~'

The lights change colors, and the first chorus comes - it's just a dream, why are you not happy when you grow up, crying, throwing, being depressed, and chasing, forgetting all the toys and changing them into adult shells, so sad and humorous, you walked by and I walked by...

In the first half, Shen Liang directly brought the emotions to the point - he filled the last high note of every sentence directly, and the emotions were also brought to the point, leaving no room for improvement.

Several people in the background looked solemn...

Apparently thinking about the second chorus...

Switch directly to the high pitch - don't step back and listen to me. People love your light, but I prefer your darkness, your stupidity, and your mistakes... Let the flaws be the mark for us to find each other. It doesn't matter. You must love my imperfect heart...

The gentleness of the mid-range switches to the original roughness.

"Let's make a promise. No matter if it's a serious comedy or a farce, we'll have fun together~"

Zeng Yi commented: "The singing is really good, and the arrangement is perfect..."

"Well, I must have rehearsed it many times..."

Then, Shen Liang rapped: "... the lingering bad mood is always floating in the wind..."

"Shen Liang can sing rap?"

Wang Feng nodded: "He will. A few days ago, he sent me a song, a pure rap..."

Linghua couldn't help but say: "Young people nowadays are really amazing!"
