Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Shen Lang's tour started in Spring City, and every subsequent concert invited guests, this time it was the 87 Girls Group.

Since "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "The Lotus Lantern 2" will start shooting in mid-March, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were given priority.

Tuodong Stadium is slightly larger than Chengdu Sports Center, with 2000 more seats, for a total of 4.2 seats.

This was the first time for Liu Yifei and Shu Chang to perform on such a large-scale stage. Compared to acting, they were much more nervous at this moment.

During the rehearsal, the two stood on the stage and looked at the huge stands. Even though there were no audiences at the moment, they could imagine the shocking scene tomorrow night.

The empty venue seemed to be silently telling of the upcoming excitement and passion, and their hearts were filled with anticipation yet also nervousness.

They know that this stage is not only a test of their singing ability, but also a rare opportunity.

"What should I do? I'm so nervous that I even forgot how to sing." Liu Yifei's palms were sweating.

"I was almost the same. I even sang the lyrics wrong." Shu Chang smiled bitterly.

"Wait until tomorrow night, when the theater is full, you won't be nervous anymore." Shen Lang, as someone who has experienced this, gave this advice.

However, this varies from person to person. Some people become more excited the more audiences there are, while some are really nervous. There are even some people who are not nervous but will forget the lines, like Zhou Huajian.

He often forgets the lyrics during concerts. Initially, this was because his voice was too perfect when he sang live, which aroused suspicion. So he pretended to forget the lyrics to prove to the audience that he was not lip-syncing.

However, after a long time, he actually couldn't remember the lyrics for a while, causing him and the audience to laugh together.

Later, in order to solve this problem, he began to prepare "big-character posters" with lyrics prompts for live performances. Sometimes they were held up by staff in the audience, and sometimes they were spread directly on the stage.

There are also singers who forget the lyrics and then make up the lyrics themselves, thus giving the audience a "new song".

For Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, the tension at this moment may also be a necessary step for growth.

In this challenging stage, they need to constantly adjust their mindset, overcome nervousness and show their best selves.

Of course, compared to nervousness, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were more excited and excited. After all, this was their first large-scale performance.

After the first experience, there will be a second time, and then you may have your own concert.

This beautiful vision is like a burning flame, burning brighter and brighter in their hearts, and they are full of anticipation just thinking about it.

Liu Xiaoli, who was watching the rehearsal at the edge of the stage, had a bright smile on her face.

In just over a year, his daughter's acting and singing careers have made rapid progress.

Looking at her daughter's radiant appearance on the stage, her heart was filled with joy and pride.

Everything was developing in the direction she had originally expected, and it had even exceeded her expectations.

All these achievements should be attributed to Shen Lang, who provided a detailed planning plan and abundant and high-quality resources.

This young man seemed to possess endless wisdom and energy, and he opened up a bright road for his daughter's future.

Liu Xiaoli felt more than once that her daughter was extremely lucky to meet a noble man like Shen Lang.

She also firmly believes that with Shen Lang's help, her daughter's future will be even better.

She admired Shen Lang's talent, foresight and courage.

only……

Liu Xiaoli turned her gaze to her daughter, who only had Shen Lang in her eyes at this moment, and sighed softly.

However, a 17-year-old girl is in a period of emotional development, so it is normal for her to have someone she admires or likes.

The only shortcoming of a man like Shen Lang is that he is "too perfect". Whether it is a 99-year-old man or a child who has just learned to walk, they are all attracted by his charm. He can be said to be "all-powerful".

Liu Yifei: "I don't want to grow up. There will be no fairy tales in the world when I grow up."

Shu sings: "I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to grow up. I would rather be stupid and foolish forever."

Together: "I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to grow up. When I grow up, I will lose him. The one I love so much, the one who loves me so much, has become unlike himself."

When they sang the second time, they were much less nervous and there were no longer any major problems.

Although their singing skills have improved greatly compared to before, it is still difficult for them to sing live.

Even so, they insisted on singing live throughout the whole performance, and never lip-synced or half-opened the microphone.

In today's music market, lip-syncing and half-open mics are common, but it is truly commendable that they can stick to the principle of singing live.

Shen Lang was very pleased about this.

"Half-open mic" is also known as 'backing vocals', which means that the singer will pre-record several other auxiliary harmony parts and sing the main melody live. This situation is quite common.

It can be thought of as singing in KTV while singing the original version, but the volume of the original version track is relatively low, and the audience hears a mixed effect, which includes both the pre-recorded original version and the real live singing version.

There are no relevant legal provisions for half-open mic, but as for "lip-syncing", Article 28 of the "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Regulations on the Management of Commercial Performances" clearly stipulates that any commercial performances cannot use methods such as lip-syncing and fake performances to deceive the audience, which is an illegal act and will be banned and fined.

One year before Shen Lang traveled through time, Mayday had been involved in a lip-syncing scandal, which generated heated discussions and huge controversy online at the time.

Some industry insiders believe that half-open mic does not count as lip-syncing, only no mic counts.

Some industry insiders also believe that whether half-open mic is considered lip-syncing depends on the proportion of the real singing volume.

Some music critics also said that half-mic and no-mic singing are all lip-syncing.

Does “half-open mic” count as lip-syncing?

Although half-open mic is padded with some pre-recorded singing, it is slightly different from lip-syncing.

However, it is difficult to define the relationship between the two. We can only say that there is a difference, and the degree of semi-open mic also varies.

Because some singers really can't perform as well live as in the studio, doing this can enhance the viewing experience and stage effects of the concert, giving the audience a better experience. As for whether it is a deception, that depends on one's own opinion.

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang will sing two songs this time, the other one is "A Little Sweet" with Shen Lang, for which a dance has been choreographed.

Singing + dancing is fun, but it is also very difficult, especially when there are a large number of people and interactions between men and women, the difficulty is doubled.

In such a performance, not only must the movements be coordinated, but they also need to coordinate with each other's rhythm, eye contact and singing.

This requires performers to have a high degree of tacit understanding and professionalism.

They had filmed together before and had a good relationship, so there were no major problems with chemistry and professionalism. It just took a little longer to rehearse in order to get some details right.

"That's enough. Practicing too much is not good. As long as we can reach the current level tomorrow, it will be perfect." Shen Lang thought there was no need to do it again. Over-practice may cause fatigue and stress, affecting the performance effect. It is the best choice for Liu Yifei and Shu Chang to stop at the right time, maintain a good condition, and perform at the current level in tomorrow's performance.

"Okay." Shu Chang responded.

"Okay." Liu Yifei nodded.

The rehearsal for the two of them was over, but Shen Lang still had a lot of work to do, as he had not rehearsed many of his songs.

He has always sung all the songs during the rehearsals for his concerts.

Although some singers may not conduct a full rehearsal, he insists on a complete rehearsal, from the singing of the song to the stage performance, not missing any details.

Only in this way can we discover problems and solve them, thus giving the audience the best experience.

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang did not leave the rehearsal site, but watched Shen Lang rehearse quietly from the side.

I don’t know why, it’s the same stage, the same songs, and the same people, but they just can’t get enough of it.

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were filled with joy to be able to perform at Shen Lang's concert and with him.

Girls always love to fantasize. Their thoughts drift far away. They think about their own concerts in the future, when they can invite Shen Lang as a guest. Then, they imagine themselves singing a duet with Shen Lang, singing sweet love songs.

In a word, three words - delicious.

We were busy until sunset, and the rehearsal finally ended, and everyone went out to eat together.

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang walked on Shen Lang's left and right, chattering non-stop.

Shen Lang could be said to be the best listener. He would reply with a word or two from time to time, making them very happy.

"In the first half of the year, you will still focus on acting. In the second half, you will release an album. I'll prepare an album for you. Sister Du is also discussing subsequent acting contracts..." Shen Lang inserted some serious matters into the conversation.

"Isn't it EP?" Liu Yifei asked in surprise when she heard it.

Shu Chang also looked at Shen Lang in surprise. The albums they released before were small EPs with only three songs.

Shen Lang smiled slightly and said, "Now that you have passed the start-up period and have accumulated a lot of popularity, it's time to release an album. I will produce three of the songs, and the other seven are the fine songs collected by the company. Then we will try to get on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala next year."

In the initial stage, issuing an EP can test the market reaction and increase brand awareness.

Now that they have gained a certain influence, releasing a complete album can better demonstrate their strength and potential.

Striving to perform on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is a higher goal, which will not only further enhance their popularity and influence, but also open up broader paths for their acting careers.

When Liu Yifei heard Shen Lang say this, her eyes lit up and she said seriously, "Well, we will definitely work hard!"

Shu Chang also nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, Brother Lang, we won't let you down!"

On the Spring Festival Gala?!

Liu Xiaoli on the side raised her lips. If this could succeed, it would be another major breakthrough.

According to her original plan, her daughter's performance on the Spring Festival Gala was scheduled for after she turned 25.

Because she knew it would be very difficult to make this happen, mainly because her daughter was planning to become an actor, and it is much more difficult for an actor to perform on the Spring Festival Gala than for a singer.

Shen Lang, the more you watch him, the more you like him!

The next day, in the evening, the 4.2 seats at Chuncheng Tuodong Stadium were almost full.

This was Shen Lang's first time visiting this city. It truly lived up to its name of "Spring City", with four seasons like spring and a suitable temperature.

The enthusiasm of the fans in Spring City is extremely high, and a chorus of tens of thousands of people is indispensable. Moreover, they seem to be secretly competing with the fans in Chengdu, and their momentum is even greater.

Everyone also liked Shen Lang's new songs "Full Fire" and "Chengdu City". The former showed his vitality and passion, while the latter was more contagious because of the emotional sustenance of his hometown.

The only regret is that he didn't write a poem called "Spring City", but they can understand Shen Lang's special feelings for his hometown.

At halftime, before Shen Lang left the stage, he said, "Unconsciously, the concert is already halfway through, and it's time to change clothes. We have invited guests today, and many of you should know them. Please welcome, 87 Girls Group!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience screamed.

As the only group of Jingtao Music, composed of two beautiful girls, basically 90% of Shen Lang's fans know him.

Moreover, all their songs are currently written by Shen Lang. As long as it is Shen Lang's song, everyone will sing it. So, over time, many people have become their fans. It can be said that they are very happy to see them on this stage today.

To be honest, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were extremely nervous while preparing backstage, even more nervous than during yesterday's rehearsal. One lowered his head and remained silent, while the other walked back and forth.

However, when Shen Lang called out to them, it was as if they had been injected with a dose of good medicine, and the tension immediately disappeared.

Their eyes were instantly filled with confidence and determination, and they walked towards the stage with brisk steps.

When they stood in the middle of the stage, facing the enthusiastic cheers of 4.2 audience members, they felt extremely encouraged.

They know that at this moment, they have to show themselves to the fullest and repay the audience's love and support with the most beautiful singing and dancing.

Liu Yifei: "Why can't I find a rose that never fades?
Why are the princes I meet not princes enough?
I don't expect him to have glass shoes and a white horse
I was surprised that love words could turn into lies."

Shu Chang: "Why does the blue bird of happiness fly so high?
Why Apples and Hugs Can Be Poison
I never thought it would be so scary to be alone with him.

I suddenly remembered the doll that used to accompany me. "

Hearing this, Shen Lang, who was standing in the corridor, smiled with satisfaction and went backstage to change clothes.

As soon as they opened their mouths, he knew that Liu Yifei and Shu Chang would be fine.

Some people are born to be on the stage. Once they stand on it, all their nervousness and stage fright disappear.

Moreover, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang sang better and better, and became more and more excited. They also interacted with the audience and experienced a chorus of thousands of people.

That feeling was so great.

They couldn't even imagine how beautiful the scene would be when they held their own concert.

In the time it takes to sing a song, Shen Lang changed his clothes and returned to the stage. (End of this chapter)
