Thinker in the entertainment industry

When she started working, Zheng Zhiyong was a little surprised by An Xiyan's performance.

An Xiyan's current popularity and attention is due to two things: her sexy performance on stage, and her straightforward and charming humor in variety shows.She is very outstanding in these two aspects, so that when people mention "hani", they will think of the fan shoot of "Up and Down", or her performance in variety shows such as "Runningman" and "I'm Going to School", There was no time to think about other things, for example, An Xiyan's singing skills.

On the contrary, An Xiyan's singing skills have received more criticism. Among the people who admit that she is an excellent "dance" and "artist", nine out of ten feel that An Xiyan's singing skills are lagging behind.It’s not without reason that they think so. It hasn’t been long since exid became popular, and almost all the live songs are from the song "Up and Down". Judging from the sound cancellation of "Up and Down", Hani's voice is not loud and weak.

Zheng Zhiyong knew that this was not the case, even before this cooperation with exid.Since I have plans to write songs for others to sing, it is necessary to understand the vocal characteristics of singers and their singing skills.During the period when Zheng Zhiyong was procrastinating and couldn't make up his mind, he still did a lot of serious work, for example, he had a brief understanding of the voice characteristics of singers above the [-]th rank in the entertainment circle. .So he knew that although An Xiyan's singing skills were not up to the level of the lead singer, she was not as bad as people generally thought. The part requires her to maintain a thinner voice, and the effect is very ordinary when singing live.If she was asked to sing standing up and not deliberately high-pitched, An Xiyan's singing voice would actually be pretty good.

But he didn't expect that An Xiyan would sing the jazz version of "ahyeah" so well...with flavor.

"Why is it like this, I can't find the feeling. Why do you say this, I don't understand at all, what?"

"Just today, I've been asked countless times, babystop, what are you talking about?"

……

In this song "ahyeah", An Xiyan, who is the most popular member of the group, gets a lot of parts, but the distribution is relatively scattered, basically playing a transitional role.

However, even if she only sang one or two lines at a time, An Xiyan used her magnetic mid-bass to convey the ambiguity that Zheng Zhiyong wanted very well-the lyrics she assigned were very simple, they were provocative.

Zheng Zhiyong was teased.

"Let's collaborate on the first jazz in the future." He said.

Ahn Hyo Jin who was sitting next to him said, "I remember you don't usually write jazz style."

An Xiyan just took it as Zheng Zhiyong's compliment: "Thank you, but please be strict with me."

Zheng Zhiyong nodded: "I see."

"It's okay to listen to it alone. I'll listen to it together after everyone has recorded, is that okay?" he said.

The jazz version of "ahyeah" adapted by Zheng Zhiyong does not have very high requirements for "accurate singing". If there is any difficulty, it is to sing the song with flavor.An Xiyan's vocal range is originally mid-bass, and she is also very good at jazz. In addition, An Xiyan has put a lot of effort into her own words, and Zheng Zhiyong later saw her proficiency.

As for the performance of the others, they were satisfactory, but not as amazing as An Xiyan's.

Zheng Zhiyong said that he thinks so probably not because of the idiotic mentality after being tempted...it should be.

The recording time is not too long, and the effect is not bad.Ahn Hyo Jin, as the production manager of exid, checked the effect after recording and was very satisfied: "It was completed earlier than expected, and it will not affect the subsequent schedule."

Um? "Do you have a schedule today?" Zheng Zhiyong asked.

"Hani and Sister Solji are there," Ahn Hyojin said, "The first issue of the official version of "The King of Masked Singer" will be recorded today, and Sister Solzhi is going to sing a song."

Zheng Zhiyong has known this for a long time. As the singer of the trial version of the Spring Festival, Xu Suzhi will take off his mask in the first issue of the official version, "Then..." He turned to look at An Xiyan, "What about you?" ?”

"I'm going to be a guest," An Xiyan said, "just sit in the audience and guess who is singing on it."

Zheng Zhiyong looked at Xu Suzhi, then at An Xiyan: "You guys are in a good mood, and if you don't say anything, I don't see it at all."

Xu Suzhi smiled: "I was already nervous before, and besides, the singer has already confirmed that it is me, what else can happen."

"I was going to be a guest, and I sat down most of the time, and there were a lot of guests, so I couldn't talk much," An Xiyan said, "It's a very easy trip."Among the various itineraries that An Xiyan has taken on in the past six months, this is indeed a relatively easy one.

"Tell me earlier, and I'll move Sister Suzhi to the front." Zheng Zhiyong said helplessly.

"It's okay, there's enough time," Xu Suzhi said indifferently, "By the way, do you still have time later, do you want to go to the scene?" She also knew that Zheng Zhiyong was interested in going to the stage, It is also good to watch the recording scene of variety shows.

This proposal made Zheng Zhiyong a little bit excited, on various levels: "Is it possible?"

"It's okay, you go with our manager, just stand on the edge of the studio and don't block the camera." Xu Suzhi and the others don't appear in many variety shows, but An Xiyan is very experienced, "However, you... Is it okay to stand?"

"After watching Sister Sol Ji's opening, there is no problem." Zheng Zhiyong said.

"Why don't you go with Sister Suzhi. After recording the opening and backstage interviews, Sister Suzhi will be fine." An Xiyan suggested.

"how about you?"

"I have to record until the end, it's quite late." An Xiyan said.

The studio of "The King of Masked Singer" is very wide, and the audience sits around the circular stage, and a little farther on the side is a guest seat composed of artists and composers.Zheng Zhiyong was standing just facing the guest seats, and An Xiyan, who was sitting in the front row with dark blonde hair and wearing a black T-shirt, could be seen from a distance.She had already said hello to those around her, and now she was sitting upright in her seat, looking a little nervous.This kind of appearance is very rare in An Xiyan.

"54321."

"Song King, the person who can sing the best. In order to abandon prejudice, we chose a mask. As an official show, mask, mask, song, king."

After the host Kim Sung-joo finished the opening, the audience cheered in the pitch-black studio, and then two or three beams of light hit the center of the stage, illuminating Xu Solzhi who was standing there.The first-generation song king wore the mask of "self-inspection mosaic" that appeared in the Spring Festival trial version, and wore a red dress, with his head held high and his chest held high, standing in the center of the stage.

Whether it is the audience in the audience or the backup dancers kneeling around Xu Suzhi on the stage, they all disappeared into the darkness, with the English translation of "The King of Masked Singer" written with dim light behind them. No one paid attention to the background board of "kingofmasksinger".Only the spotlights on the ceiling were turned on, and the unique background design with sporadic light sources looked like a sky full of stars.

Under the starry sky, Xu Suzhi became the only king.

"Come on, let's start now. Little by little, eagerly. Wu—please don't be afraid. Unfolding in front of you, the sun shines on the long way. Wu—Never stop."

Xu Suzhi reached behind his head with his left hand and pulled off the mask.While the lights were on, Xu Suzhi's hearty high-pitched voice pierced everyone's eardrums.

"Maria, avemaria, fly to the end of the white cloud. Maria, avemaria, it doesn't matter even if it's a storm."

Most of what Zheng Zhiyong saw was Xu Solzhi's appearance off the stage. It's easy to describe. An excellent singer, the eldest sister in the group, and then it's gone. Everyone is a unique individual, which is true, but There are only a small number of people who can make people say "this person has a certain quality that ordinary people don't have", after all, Xu Suzhi is not one of them.

I also watched the appearance on the stage, such as the episode of "The King of Masked Singer" that Xu Solzhi participated in.Even though the mask obscured Xu Solzhi's expression, the action still conveyed a lot of things, such as the tension almost throughout, and the disbelief when he finally won the song king.

At this time, Xu Suzhi, who stood on the stage and sang loudly, showed a completely different look.Mingming Biao closed his eyes when he was singing high notes, but the light emitted from his body could still blind people's eyes.

"A heart that stops beating cannot stop beating."

That is the ideal, burning blazingly.Let a person who looks ordinary in life emit dazzling light.

"Maria, avemaria, fly to the end of the white cloud. Maria, avemaria, it doesn't matter even if it's a storm."

Xu Solzhi, born in 1989, made her debut as a member of the girl group 2006nb in 2. Because of the poor response of the group, she once again worked as a trainee and a behind-the-scenes job as a vocal teacher. She joined exid in the middle of 2012 As the captain, he made his debut again, and later experienced a company change and a long trough. It was not until "Up and Down" went retrograde that exid survived on the verge of dissolution.

Today, Xu Solzhi, who has spent nine years without a name since his debut, stands on the stage, just like the protagonist of the movie "Beauty's Trouble" with "maria" as the theme song, reborn from the ashes.

She conquered the audience and guests with her singing, and then conquered the national audience in front of the TV. She is the first generation masked singer.

"Maria, avemaria, fly to the end of the white cloud. Maria, avemaria, it doesn't matter even if it's a storm."

"maria————"

When singing this song, Xu Solji's high-pitched voice is always refreshing.No beating around the bush, no pulling of the vocal cords to create sadness.It was such a refreshing voice that made Zheng Zhiyong's eyes red unconsciously.

There is nothing more magical than this.At most, this song can remind Zheng Zhiyong of his ups and downs in the past 12 years, and pour a large bucket of gasoline on the quiet burning flame in his heart, making it burn up all over his body in an instant.

Zheng Zhiyong raised his head, blinked his eyes, he suddenly remembered something, and turned his gaze to An Xiyan's direction.

In front of the camera, An Xiyan, who has always given people a casual but energetic image of laughing, laughing, making trouble, eating and sleeping when she wants to, is now tearful. Eyes fixed on the captain on the stage, following the rhythm of the music, he beat the time vigorously with both hands.

Unlike Zheng Zhiyong who thought of herself, An Xiyan's tears were only because of being moved—moved by the nine years of hard work experienced by her sister on the same team, and now she has finally paid off.

Xu Suzhi's singing still echoed in his ears, Zheng Zhiyong quietly looked at An Xiyan who was crying and applauding, and at some point, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He found that he liked An Xiyan a little more.

However, no matter how serious procrastination Zheng Zhiyong is, sooner or later he will consider the reality of his relationship, and before thinking seriously, Zheng Zhiyong has already foreseen that the result will not be optimistic.

So, let him enjoy it for a while longer, with Heo Solji jumping out of the trough and soaring into the sky, with An Hee Yeon feeling relieved at her sister's success, with Jung Ji Yong's love for his dream and the person who made his heart beat At the same time being ignited, let him enjoy it for a while longer.

Under the brim of the hat, Zheng Zhiyong's eyes reflected the person he liked smiling and crying.
