Chapter 110 "This Dark Place"

Li Chengxin's selected piece "This Dark Place (Come dal ciel precipita)" is a bass aria in the opera "Macbeth".

In the opera "Macbeth", a group of killers wait for an opportunity to assassinate Macbeth's ally Lord Banquo and his son who come to the banquet.In the castle, Banquo seems to realize that disaster is coming, and he sings "This Dark Place" full of anxiety.He was eventually assassinated and killed, but his son narrowly escaped.

Artist Wu's old dancer friend, Gao Lao Artist, intends to arrange this passage to express Ban Ke's despair, and express it with this song.

This song is the most difficult one among the five songs!
Upon learning of this, Yuan Zhao immediately showed his level as a gold medal manager.

First of all, I went to the Lanhai Conservatory of Music and invited an old professor to teach Li Chengxin this song. By the way, I also found someone to teach Li Chengxin Italian. I don’t ask for any understanding, at least get the pronunciation of this song done first.

Although the old artist Wu said that he would guide Li Chengxin, Li Chengxin also has self-knowledge. He must sing this song before asking for guidance, right?
After the teaching was done, Yuan Zhao went to the dancer Gao Lao Artist who Li Chengxin assisted in singing, and asked professionals to communicate with him according to Li Chengxin's vocal range and general level.

Because of Li Chengxin's own vocal range, this song had to be re-arranged.

Artist Gao and Artist Wu have been old friends for decades. After the lottery session, I went to Artist Wu to learn about the singer, and I was mentally prepared for the change of arrangement.

In the next few days, Li Chengxin has been practicing "This Dark Place", the lyrics have been memorized by rote, at most, the pronunciation is not very standard sometimes.

With trepidation, Li Chengxin entered the rehearsal room of the studio. Before the rehearsal started, he needed to sing this song to old artist Wu and old artist Gao.

There are quite a lot of people in the rehearsal room, besides Wu Lao Artist and Gao Lao Artist, there are Ashati, the director, and many photographers and videographers.It seems that the "Dancer" program also attaches great importance to this most difficult song.

Yuan Zhao played the accompaniment tape he had prepared, and Li Chengxin sang at the right time.

After singing once, Li Chengxin bowed to the onlookers, and then looked at the crowd.

The director nodded to him, explained something to the staff around him, and left.

Ashati gave him a thumbs up, which made Li Chengxin slightly relieved of the director's vague nod.

Gao Lao artist has heard this slightly adapted new version of the accompaniment for a long time, and he also went through his dance moves in his mind during Li Chengxin's singing audition. Although Li Chengxin's singing still has many flaws, it is already on the level up.

The old artist Wu got up and asked, "Zicheng, are you sure you just learned this song?"

Li Chengxin nodded affirmatively: "I didn't know the existence of this song until I drew lots that day. Before that, I didn't have much contact with bel canto songs."

Old artist Wu continued to nod. He went back and listened to the songs released by Li Chengxin later. Most of them were pop songs, with some folk song elements added at most. Before that, he was still worried about Li Chengxin's singing skills.

However, after being adapted by the professional team of Geyue Entertainment, several of the most difficult bass transitions were removed, which greatly reduced the difficulty of singing.Then, although Li Chengxin's Italian pronunciation has some minor problems, they can all be corrected.

In addition, Li Chengxin just learned the song "This Dark Place", although there are still many things that need to be changed, but it is precisely because he has no habit of singing bel canto, so there is not much inertia in adjustments.

After listening to Li Chengxin's singing, old artist Wu and old artist Gao began to give advice to Li Chengxin one by one.Originally, Li Chengxin thought that the only one who gave him advice was Old Artist Wu, but it turned out that Artist Gao needed to choreograph, so his understanding of the song was no lower than that of Old Artist Wu.

Pronunciation, style, emotion, emotion, singing, resonance, voice, breath... etc. were pointed out by the two old artists, which made Li Chengxin, who was working hard to take notes, almost overwhelmed.

Every time Li Chengxin sang a line, he would receive several opinions from the two old artists, so that Li Chengxin almost thought that he had learned the wrong repertoire from the teacher of the music school.

After Li Chengxin synthesized these suggestions, he cooperated with Gao Lao artist several times, and finally heaved a sigh of relief after the juniors in the two old people's homes sent the two elders away.

Then he had to submit the modification suggestions given by the two old artists to the relevant department of Geyue Entertainment, and then he took the re-arranged accompaniment and singing suggestions to the teachers of the music school for further advice.

During the second rehearsal, the cooperation between Li Chengxin and Artist Gao became much smoother, and Artist Wu also greatly affirmed Li Chengxin's progress.

"It's really unexpected. Your bel canto talent is not bad, but it's a pity that you didn't start learning singing earlier." Old artist Wu felt a little regretful. If Li Chengxin started learning bel canto earlier, with his talent and hard work, he would be much better than many people who came from majors.

"Hey." Li Chengxin could only accept this praise with a smile.

After the rehearsal here, Li Chengxin also visited the rehearsal of Ashati and Wu old artist.

They are all people in the industry, and Li Chengxin can easily tell that the old artist Wu and the singer who sang Ashati's backing vocals are very comfortable with their two songs.

"My singing skills are far from enough." Li Chengxin thought about this in his heart, and suddenly remembered that he actually has a shortcut to improve.

Li Chengxin used the [E-level adjustment card] which was exchanged for 50 contribution points to advance his singing skills once.

He checked, and if he wanted to improve his singing skills to a higher level, he needed to use the [C-level adjustment] with a contribution value of 500 million.

Li Chengxin has never used any contribution points before. He hopes to save up the contribution points and use them when Yingying is revived in the future, but under the current situation, it seems that using the contribution points will allow him to successfully pass this level and get more popularity.

After making up his mind, Li Chengxin called up the system interface and used 500 million contribution points to raise his singing skills by a notch.

In a flash, the contribution value of nearly 3000 million accumulated in the system has dropped sharply.

Li Chengxin immediately shut down the system to make himself feel less distressed.

Finally, the day came for the recording of the program. Li Chengxin put on the dark clothes prepared by the program team that would not steal the limelight of the old artist Gao, and stood in the corner of the stage.

The host's string of words: "Next, please enjoy "This Dark Place" presented to us by Gao Lao artist and singer Zi Zi."

When the music started, Li Chengxin closed his eyes.

Artist Gao slid past him lightly, bringing with it a gloomy atmosphere.

"Studia il passo, o mio figlio... Usciam da queste tenèbre... (Son, watch your step, let us get out of this dark place...)"

After singing the first sentence, the old artist Wu who was waiting in the background pricked up his ears, and the old artist Gao on the stage immediately heard the difference in singing level.

"Di larve e di terror. Ohimè!... Fuggi, mio ​​figlio ! O tradimento !... (They oppress me with ghosts and fear, run, son!)"

At the end of the song, the old artist Gao stretched forward, covered his chest with one hand, and followed Li Chengxin's last sentence to make his last powerful movement.

The audience was silent for a few seconds, and then burst into applause.

The most difficult song, accompanied by an original and newly choreographed dance, was recognized by everyone.

Li Chengxin was slightly trembling with excitement, and after the curtain call, he helped his partner Gao Lao artist who was panting heavily to get off the stage.

"Zicheng, you sang really well this time!" Artist Gao sat in the lounge and praised Li Chengxin.

Several other singers in the lounge also nodded. From their point of view, Li Chengxin has indeed made great progress.Even if they haven't heard the level of the previous rehearsal, they have listened to Li Chengxin's album after knowing that Li Chengxin is their competitor in this program. The level of this song is comparable to the level of his album at the beginning of the year. The difference between cloud and mud.

"Although I think it's unreasonable, can doing farm work really improve my singing skills?" A singer asked Li Chengxin.

Li Chengxin was stunned for a while: "Well, probably at least it can make people feel more enlightened."

For Li Chengxin's progress, Old Artist Wu is the one who has the most say.

In the studio, old artist Wu didn't say anything, he was afraid of Li Chengxin's pride.

After finishing the recording, I chatted with artist Gao Lao again, and finally posted a message on Weibo.

"Today I saw a very talented and hard-working singer of the new generation. If you want to know who that is, go watch "Dancer" aired next week!"
