Chapter 568 NUMBER_NINE【1】
As an airborne group, "Not Gray" only had two or three sentences of interaction with the host. They appeared as a group and did not even have a personal introduction. They directly took their positions under the guidance of the host and prepared to perform.
This is not an exception. There are many trainees in "Idols Next Generation 2", and they always only recognize people by their appearance and name tags around their waists. Most of the airborne group only have the opportunity to make personal introductions when they are called by the judges and teachers after the performance. Otherwise, you can only rely on putting name subtitles next to each person later during the show to distinguish who the members are.
The director next to the main camera in the audience gestured OK, and the host said, "Now let's enjoy the performance of 'UNGREY'!" while exiting the stage.
Qi Shuang held up the headset beside her mouth. At this time, the four members of "Not Gray" stood staggered, two in front and two in back, performing the fixed dance moves from the opening. She is the second from the left in the direction of the audience, standing further forward, and directly opposite there is a mobile photographer carrying a camera.
"——"NUMBER NINE"!" The host's last words came from outside the venue.
The sound of guitar strumming sounded simultaneously in the live sound system and the earphones of "Not Gray". Just half a second after Qi Shuang's "Wu" was sung, his expression changed instantly. He moved the headset to his chin and raised his hand to indicate, Then he walked away from the camera range and made a pause gesture to the staff in the audience.
"What's wrong?" the host asked quickly.
"I'm sorry, teacher, the headset sound is not on."
Qi Shuang directly threw out these words.
"It's not gray." The expressions of the other three girls changed accordingly. Xing Yufei was still rolling her eyes and thinking about her words, but Lou Lan repeated the commonly used "one, two" for auditions several times directly into the headset. She herself The sound was loud enough that the nearest live audience could hear it, but the volume in the microphone and speakers was indeed very low.
The scene was in an uproar, and the faces of a group of staff on the sidelines suddenly became embarrassed. What sound was not turned on? This is a pad for you!
In order to prevent the trainees and the airborne team from having too disastrous car accidents, "Idols Next Generation 2" has always turned up the pad sound as loud as possible. This is an unwritten consideration.
But what is pad sound?
To put it bluntly, it is the original sound of the song including the harmony and background sound effects.
The original purpose of pad sound in live performances was to make the performance smoother. As we all know, when a song is recorded in the studio, it must be divided into many tracks and mixed before being released as the final version. There are many impossibilities in this. The processing of passages sung in one breath, such as the last two words of sentence A before singing the sentence B, the two sentences AB half-overlapping, etc. You may not realize it when listening to the song, but you will realize it when you sing it yourself. This is an objectively hard difficulty.
This is true for lyrical songs, and even more so for fast songs.
Therefore, in response to this situation, the organizer will play electronic music and let the sentence A appear as the "background original sound". At this time, the performer can breathe in time and sing the sentence B while the sentence A is playing, presenting the song itself to the greatest extent. Effect.
Later, with the rise of singing and dancing performances, the pad sound got another name, "half-open mic", which means that the organizer plays the original sound to assist the performers throughout the whole process, covering up their flaws such as unstable breath and slightly broken sound due to intense dancing.
This concept was initially gradually accepted by the audience because of its rationality. After all, the concert lasted only two hours, and it was indeed not good for the artist to skip to the end and become tired and out of breath, which would affect the performance.
However, this kind of auxiliary pad sound has gradually become a fig leaf to deceive the public.
"Teacher, could you please let the four of us reconfirm the microphone sound?"
Qi Shuang said it again.
This time her look and voice were less polite.
The original sound of the song was so loud, and the microphone sound was adjusted so low that Qi Shuang couldn't even hear her own singing voice in her ears just now!
What is this pad sound?
Is this commercial lip-synching? !
How can you have the nerve to do it? !
"Uh, okay, okay, our mixer teacher would like to trouble you -"
The host, who was just a decoration in this talent show for most of the time, answered the question a little at a loss.
"Thank you, teacher."
Qi Shuang said this, but it was her first real experience with this kind of thing on the ground stage. In addition, the expressions on the faces of the trainees and the crew members in the audience at this time made her look angry at Wuming.
They were not only embarrassed and embarrassed, but also showed dissatisfaction, ridicule and ridicule.
It's like saying:
What are you talking about? Don't be so shameless!
"I'm really sorry, professional singers don't lip-sync."
Qi Shuang smiled and said with a microphone volume that was obviously more than twice as loud, "Let's do it again. UNGREY's "NUMBER NINE" is for everyone. Thank you."
In the judges' box, Mou Jia from the "Qinglan" girl group's round face turned dark, and her usually gentle and demure expression was not lost. Hong Ling, who is the best at telling lies, quickly laughed and said: "Hahaha, it seems so. The staff made a small mistake, but it's not that serious. You guys are really strict about singing and dancing idol performances."
As soon as she said this, Xing Yufei, who originally wanted to calm down the atmosphere and choke Qi Shuang, laughed directly.
"It's okay, Teacher Hong, thank you for your affirmation, but singing and dancing idols are called singing and dancing. They are the powerful combination of professional singers and professional dancers~ This is how our teacher teaches us! (*'*)"
Xing Yufei's smile and voice are sweet, and her expression is cute and cute.
The rubbish that uses pad tones and half-open mics to lip-sync, the stinking organizers who condone and even encourage this rubbish, and the sanctimonious judges who follow the crowd, are you guys here to pretend to be yours? (^ω^)
Hong Ling was choked and couldn't answer a word.
"Hahahaha! That's right! I hope we all can get better and better and become more professional! Hahahaha!"
Tao Min blinked in embarrassment, but his expression was subtly mixed with a hint of relief after watching so many drafts and weird trainee awards, "Then let's invite our airborne group, UNGREY! Come on for everyone. Put on a great show!”
"Thank you, teacher."
Qi Shuang and the four of them bowed in unison.
Who are the people that Yangliu Entertainment pushed over? He's too polite to find fault with, but he's so tough-headed!
Still airborne? This is here to cause trouble!
The director of the program team gritted his teeth beside him, and at the same time he was extremely happy that this was the eighth round of "Idols Next Generation 2" and not a live broadcast.
"Put on the unpadded version of the accompaniment!" He picked up the conversation headset and said angrily, "Don't you care about the half-on mic? Then let them sing on their own!"
A few seconds later, the four members of "Not Gray" stood on the stage again, and the guitar sound started again. Qi Shuang turned slightly sideways, holding his waist with one hand and raising his hand sideways, with his wrist on his forehead.
"Wu——"
A series of "woo" sounds with smooth breath and natural tone came out from her lips. After two eight beats, the rhythmic drum sound was added to the guitar strings. The drum beats became more intensive under Qi Shuang's tone changes and dance movements. , leading to the dynamic and intense beat of the whole song.
"NUMBER NINE!"
As soon as Qi Shuang finished speaking, exciting music like a disco music filled the audience. Lou Lan, the one on the far left, kicked forward hard with one leg, and the four "Not Gray" people started dancing at the same time!
Let the person on stage stand on the stage!
