Participate in the chorus on the stage of "I am a singer 4"
"Many people have heard their voices, but few people know their names." This sentence can almost be used as the best footnote for a chorus singer's career.
Members of the Voice of Love Choir, Zhang, Zhang, Zhang (from left to right) participated in the chorus on the stage of I am a singer 4.
"Many people have heard their voices, but few people know their names." This sentence can almost be used as the best footnote for a chorus singer's career.
Last week, on the stage of I am a singer 4, a group of chorus singers finally showed themselves completely in front of the audience. Four singers from the Voice of Love Chorus, Zhang Shidai, Hu Weina, Ge Rui and Liu Jing, performed five songs in the form of burning strings, namely, Mrs. Marmalade, Legend of Hungry Wolf, Model and Cordate telosma.
Beautiful sound quality, skillful cooperation and passionate expression ... The two-minute performance surprised many audiences. Singer Hacken Lee can't help but admire: "It's a blessing for our singers to have such a good choir." Some netizens commented: "Although standing behind the scenes, I am fully capable of standing in front of the stage." This performance attracted many people's attention to a group of chorus singers who have achieved others with their voices.
The sound behind the superstar adds luster.
Similarly, they have excellent singing skills and love music, but the chorus singer can only stand behind the superstar and serve the lead singer in the center of the stage with his good voice to make the lead singer's voice better. Hu Weina and Chong Wang of the Voice of Love choir have made their mark with their singing skills in programs such as The Voice of China and The Most Beautiful Harmony, but they still spend more time working outside the spotlight.
With the help of music director Liang Qiaobai, Voice of Love joined the team of "I am a singer" and served as a member of the choir. Now is the fourth year. "During the recording of the program, we usually go to Changsha on Tuesday, starting at one or two in the afternoon on Wednesday and rehearsing until one or two in the morning. I will start work at around 10 the next day. When the catalogue is finished, I may return to the hotel until 1 1 in the evening. " Zhang, the chorus leader of Voice of Love, said that every week, he and three other members of Voice of Love spend two very busy days rehearsing chorus with every singer.
In last year's I'm a Singer, Hu Weina sang for Lake Baikal in Li Jian. "I didn't expect many netizens to find my Weibo and praise my performance. One year has passed, and many people still remember it, which makes me particularly moved. " Hu Weina said. Musician Wang once commented on their performance: "Although they can't be the protagonists on the stage like the seven participating singers, they contribute silently and add luster to each song."
I couldn't find a job for months.
Now the well-known Voice of Love Ensemble in the industry was established 12 years ago. In 2004, Zhang Shibing met Hu Weina, who also likes to sing online, and they sang in a bar together. The following year, Zhang signed a contract with music producer Zhang Yadong. Under the guidance of Zhang Yadong and another music producer, Tan Yizhe, he took Hu Weina to complete the ensemble creation and recording of Chris Lee's album The Queen and Dreams. Soon, Chong Wang joined in, and three people formed the core of the chorus "The Voice of Love".
Although the company has signed a contract and the chorus work has been recognized by the industry, the life of the three people is still quite difficult. "In the beginning, I often finished a job, and then I couldn't get the next job for several months." Zhang recalled, "The income is not high either. At the cheapest time, I can only get 1000 yuan for singing eight songs. For a long time, we were all in a state of' eating the last meal and not going down'. "
Zhang recalled that when he was young, working with big-name singers often made him nervous. "One day during the rehearsal, the (English) elder sister suddenly told us that you sang the chorus incorrectly. I was particularly nervous at that time, because there were more than 20 people present, and we were the youngest generation. I was worried that we would be replaced. " Zhang Times said: "But on second thought, the elder sister pointed out our mistakes and gave us a chance to correct them. Thought of here, I'm not nervous. The chorus after that made her agree with our younger generation. "
Too many gains and losses to be a chorus singer.
After more than ten years' efforts, the voice of love has become more and more famous in the industry, and its members have grown from the initial three to seven today. Zhang said that the work of the choir is getting busier and busier. "In the past six months alone, we have recorded two programs, China Star and I am a singer, and completed a concert tour in Han Hong."
"Some people regard chorus as a very simple thing. In fact, it is not easy to do well. " Zhang Shidai said that a good chorus singer not only needs to have a good voice, excellent singing skills and the ability to read pa music, but also needs the ability to imitate the timbre of other singers. "For example, Yang Kun asked me to sing for him just because I like his voice."
Zhang said that what he values most is the mentality of the players. "To be a chorus singer, you must have a peaceful mind. You need to clearly realize that your duty is to help the singer standing in the middle, give him strength and support, and make his voice more beautiful. People who are too restless are not suitable to be chorus singers. "
All members of the "Voice of Love" team like to sing where the audience can't see them. "Whenever a performance ends, I stand outside the spotlight, and the applause of the audience makes me particularly satisfied. Although I know that the clapping audience may not know me, I have made great efforts in the presentation of the song. I think this applause is deserved. " Hu Weina said.
