Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 372 Revitalizes the Entire City Once Again!
"Sister Jiayin, how's your practice going? Are you sure you can do it?"

"rest assured!"

When Li Can asked her question, Han Jiayin smiled and gave him an OK sign.

Vocal performance is not a panacea, but Li Can's requirements for the diversity of singers' styles and their ability to control their performances are so outrageous that everyone subconsciously tries to compete.

I've been studying ethnic vocal music for quite some time now, and I've been practicing it all along.

Perhaps it won't work in the realm of ethnic singing, but if you combine elements of ethnic singing styles and optimize them for popular expression, then there's no problem. This is just basic stuff for Han Jiayin.

"I'm definitely going to blow up the place."

Han Jiayin snorted.

"Get the bunch of idiots out of here with their loud Western accents."

"Tsk, 'loud voice' is fine, it's a widely accepted term and we don't expect anyone to be a professional, but what the hell is this 'loud voice' thing from Europe and America? In this day and age, don't people still have a 14-inch Shanghai transistor TV at home?"

Chen Gang laughed and immediately started delivering the finishing blow on the spot.

I heard this.

Li Can shook his head, his helpless expression conveying both understanding and utter speechlessness.

"There's nothing I can do; the poisonous ideology of Western worship is still chasing me."

"Actually, it's mainly a misconception that a powerful voice is called a loud voice."

Lin Feng rubbed his chin.

Lin Feng had a more thorough understanding of these things.

The so-called "powerful voice" simply means that when it's time to unleash it, the volume, sound pressure, and breath of the singing are sufficient to achieve an impactful effect. In reality, this is not a matter of function, but quite the opposite.

It's entirely a technical issue.

Even from a professional perspective in the field of classical vocal music, there has never been a distinction between trumpet and tuba; the term is simply used to describe the quality of a timbre and the singer's skill.

For female singers, first distinguish between high, medium, and low registers based on their vocal range. After that, look at their areas of expertise in vocal techniques, such as coloratura soprano, dramatic soprano, lyric soprano, etc.

Han Jiayin was also annoyed that she was suddenly dragged into this situation.

Even what listeners call a "loud voice" includes a variety of factors such as volume, timbre, pitch, breath control, closure, and resonance.

Vocal music is very complex, and everyone's talent varies greatly. The so-called "big voice" does not exist; it is simply a reflection of the results of practice.

Many excellent expressions from within China are subconsciously ignored. People say they acknowledge the gap, but in their hearts they automatically feel inferior to those from other countries.

Therefore, it is specially marked "This is a European and American big voice" or "This is a European and American style of singing" before "big voice".

It completely ignores the fact that Europe and America also have very gentle lyricism, and that China also has very high-intensity sound pressure and explosiveness.

The phrase "a loud voice from Europe and America" ​​may have brought Han Jiayin some glory, but it was actually an absolute insult.

Even if Li Can hadn't said anything, Han Jiayin had decided to teach the domestic audience a lesson and, incidentally, change his ID to something else: "Xia Guo Xiao Sang" sounds pretty good.

There's no such thing as a loud or soft voice; if you're bad, you're bad, so practice more!

As for the last-minute song change, it's not a big problem at all.

Other artists might be overwhelmed, but Lin Feng, Han Jiayin, and the others were already used to Li Can's unpredictable performance style, so it wasn't difficult for them to accept it.

Making mistakes at the last minute? To put it bluntly, it's still a matter of incompetence. Anyone who seriously plays music knows that if you have the knowledge in your head, it's not difficult to make a decision on the spot, let alone having time to prepare in advance.

then.

In this "Storm Approaching" concert, Han Jiayin's role was significantly expanded.

The song was changed.

Many related designs will need to be changed.

For example, screen projection, or the arrangement of costumes in performance venues.

When it comes to this part, the real challenge begins.

Because the songs spanned such a wide range of styles, including both Chinese and English, and the overall quality varied greatly, the costumes and props for the entire performance were extremely difficult to manage.

"So, Mr. Li, what you want is a style that can switch from the exaggerated, dark, and somewhat gothic makeup expression to the traditional pop-rock style of Xia Kingdom?"

The designer looked at Li Can, who was explaining his ideas, with a puzzled expression.

This is absolutely incredible; I've never seen such a demand in my life.

Li Can blushed, but still nodded.

"Yes, I know this request is outrageous, but it's indeed what our performance requires. I just wanted to ask if you have any better ideas?"

"Ideas? No, no, no, even God couldn't do that."

The designer shook his head repeatedly.

Because they were professionals, the designer knew that Li Can wasn't really making things difficult for himself; after all, that band's style was just that quirky.

But this demand is really too outrageous.

Perhaps a slow transition could be used to change the style, but that would affect DP's stage presence.

You never know what DP's next song will feel like.

This is the true thought etched in the hearts of fans around the world. We can't let our personal characteristics be compromised because of makeup, can we?

"Mr. Maar, perhaps there is a compromise?"

Seeing Li Can's tentative question, Ma Er shook his head repeatedly.

"No, no, Li, I know what you mean and I know how you feel, but if you really want such a strong contrast, you'd have to remove your makeup on stage."

"Hey! Here's the solution!!"

Li Can slapped his thigh, his face beaming with joy.

"what?"

Now it was Mar's turn to be stunned.

I've designed stage costumes and props for countless performers, but this is the only one who thinks washing your face on stage is no big deal.

"No, no, Mr. Li, I must have misheard you. You said..."

“Then let’s remove our makeup on stage! It’s not like it’s anything shameful. All I need to do is stand up and brag a few times, and the makeup removal will be done quickly.”

Li Can nodded repeatedly.

Mar's eyes twitched incessantly.

I'm starting to understand why everyone thinks DP is so "Ice Thick".

If you want to make some exaggerated expressions, face painting is more direct and specific. If you do regular makeup first and then face painting, it will take too much time and disrupt the rhythm.

But if you apply makeup first, then remove it.

This would definitely make a big difference.

After all, DP has done plenty of outrageous things, so one more won't make a difference.

"However, if you think about it carefully, on-site body painting is actually a good idea. Using some tricks might make it even more explosive. After all, if you want to express some exaggerated elements, the makeup doesn't necessarily have to be so detailed. A messy look can actually be a bit crazy."

This opened up a new way of thinking.

Li Can chuckled.

"You know, if you apply it on the spot, then remove it on the spot, then apply it again and remove it again, the effect on the spot would be amazing."

"I suddenly had an idea, I think bamboo charcoal powder is a great thing!"

"Wait, isn't that hard to remove? Mal, do you know of any quick and easy way to install and remove it?"

"."

Mar listened in disbelief as Li Can rattled off one outrageous design after another, before finally slapping his thigh in complete approval.

Faced with an artist who wasn't quite right in the head, Mar felt he should keep quiet.

Although he himself works in the arts and specializes in costume and prop design, Ma Er felt that Li Can's level of understanding was something he might never be able to comprehend in his lifetime.

No wonder he's an artist; I guess I'm still too sane.

After finishing work and returning home, Mal turned on his phone.

The topic of DP's upcoming concert has exploded on YouTube, with all viewers eagerly anticipating it, looking forward to a triumphant return.

[Oh my god! I'm so touched! Lee hasn't forgotten us European viewers!]

[Oh my god, this is so dreamy! Ever since that legendary performance at Batti Music Festival, I've been dreaming of him returning to Europe, but all I got were concerts in China, at the Lighthouse, and in the Neon. This time, he's finally back!]

He chose the outdoors! Dude! What does that mean?!

This means that cafes across the river will be packed, and telescope sales in Vienna will see an epic surge.

[Shit! With binoculars, why not get closer to the scene?]

[Just kidding, kid. Forget about tickets, even if you could squeeze in from the very outermost area, you'd be lucky! Vienna Airport has been getting crowded these past few days, haven't you noticed!?]

[Thanks Li, and thanks to the DP band! I run a bed and breakfast, and prices have been skyrocketing. After this, I can finally buy my kid a car!]

"."

Recalling the past few days when he met Li Can, and the extraordinary sense of abstraction and relaxation he experienced, Ma Er felt a sense of disconnect.

But, for some inexplicable reason, Mal also started to look forward to the performance at the concert!
Although Li Can and his group occasionally pull a fast one, the quality of the performance is undeniable, and they might just surprise you.
The arrangement of costumes and props is only one aspect.

There are many things that can be managed or operated in this concert.

Apart from the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation's statement, the three major music labels and Tencent's regional broadcasts, and internet broadcasts.

It's about time to find a few more old guys to farm gold coins.

Even if they don't win any gold coins, they should at least give something. They win by riding on the popularity of the DP band, while we can have additional sponsorships and other promotional channels to strengthen our position, allowing us to win twice.

The first person to reveal a gold coin was Old Deng from DC Comics.

The DC Comics collaboration with DP already generated a lot of buzz, and the comics even included some Easter eggs for the new songs. I heard that the concert will feature the new songs and Easter eggs from the comics, and the fans are really excited.

Make money!

Send money like crazy!
Because the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ABS) booked all the venue and performance equipment, the three major broadcasters and Tencent booked all the broadcast recording equipment.

As a second choice, DC Comics booked all the beverage and food services near the venue.

Smart businessmen always find ways to make money.

Since we're already here, it wouldn't be right not to make a quick buck.

DC Comics, leveraging its superhero IP, has started contacting local restaurants in Vienna to see if anyone is willing to sponsor them, while also using the collaboration between DC Comics and the DP band for publicity.

Without a second thought, local businesses and restaurant giants hit it off with DC Comics.

This DC campaign not only boosted goodwill from all sides by getting free votes, but also allowed Lee Chan, who sponsored the campaign, to make an extra profit.

So much so that the marketing director started to reminisce after finishing a business meeting and having some B liquor.

My friendship with Li Can will last forever; he will always be our valued friend.

In such a lively atmosphere.

The day of the performance finally arrived.

The atmosphere in Vienna had already reached its peak. In the days leading up to the concert, people could be seen carrying DP band posters and banners on the streets, and large groups of fans were also active in the surrounding cafes and bars.

Dog Bar.

The bar that Li Can and his group frequented even held a frivolous, unofficial entertainment event called the "Evil Force Singing Contest" after Li Can made a phone call to it.

All you need to do is sing in the bar, and based on everyone's votes, three tables of customers will be chosen to eat for free each day.

The business is booming with customers.

Its powerful influence, just as Vienna had hoped, revitalized the entire city.

"DP! DP!"

"Let's go go go!!"

Friends! Let's have a blast tonight!

"yes!!!"

On the afternoon of the performance day.

The fans could no longer sit still.

Excitement precedes it, excitement precedes it, not a drop of adrenaline remains in its veins.

With DP's immense popularity, bizarre behavior began to emerge.

Fia is a classical music enthusiast from Italy, but also a fan of the band DP.

It was DP's song "She is my sin" that plunged Fia into a deep abyss of madness, from which she could never escape.

Upon learning that DP was going to hold a concert in Vienna, Fia immediately prepared to grab tickets.

Lucky Fia managed to snag a ticket and excitedly arrived in Vienna immediately, staying for a whole week and making a significant contribution to Vienna's GDP.

With the concert just around the corner that night, Fia was so excited she was shaking all over.

Walking down the street, I suddenly heard familiar music playing in the commercial district.

It was as if I was being controlled, and I started to step to the rhythm.

He then saw several other passersby whose steps were exactly the same as his.

They exchanged a glance, and then, out of nowhere, one of them spoke first.

"I hate Myself for Loving you!!"

"Yeah!!!"

I recognized you by your eyes; we're kindred spirits.

The initial awkwardness between strangers began to diminish, and their shared love of music and taste, coupled with the fact that they had both been lucky enough to snag tickets, led to an increasingly lively conversation.

Even if people don't speak the same language and not everyone can speak English, the difficulty of using translation software won't dampen their enthusiasm for this shared hobby.

Fia, an Italian girl, met friends from France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Hungary on the streets of Austria, and they agreed to go to the concert together that evening.

As darkness fell, two large lights suddenly illuminated the square in front of Schönbrunn Palace, shooting straight into the sky. A large screen lit up, and the live internet broadcast began its countdown, with comments flooding the screen, making it hard to find where you were.

"Boom!"

The muffled sound of the sound test alone was enough to excite the fans who were already feeling excited.

In an instant, before the performance even started, before any member of the DP band appeared, and before a single note or rhythm was played, the venue erupted in cheers.

The surging waves swept through Vienna in winter, but the winter's chill seemed unable to freeze the passion within.

"Oooo!!"

The waves of cheers startled the sound engineer who was adjusting the sound system.

Every staff member was incredibly excited.

Forget the opening, it exploded like this as soon as it was powered on. It's hard to imagine how big the explosion will be tonight.

Even before it started, it seemed to have already been destined to be a phenomenal performance with memorable moments!
"Read?!"

Before the audience could figure out what was going on, the countdown on the big screen suddenly started.

"3, 2, 1!"

Oh my god! Oh my god!

The brief pause was an unbelievable moment of suffocation, before an even greater eruption rose again!
