Chapter 131: Let me make the finale of the New Year’s Eve party?
"Interlude?"
"Let me sing?"
Shang Yuxin was also quite surprised by Xu Kong's words.
Knowing that Xu Kong completed all the music for the entire drama "Want to See You" by himself, Shang Yuxin is not surprised that he is still responsible for all the music for "Legend of Sword and Fairy" this time.
But she didn't expect that there would be an interlude, and Xu Kong was going to let her sing it.
Can Shang Yuxin sing?
Of course she does. Even when she first debuted, she released a few singles and EPs.
Strictly speaking, although it is not as good as some professional singers.
But Shang Yuxin's singing skills are pretty good.
Even much better than some traffic idols.
But for Shang Yuxin, she knew that she would not be able to go far as a singer.
So I simply gave up and concentrated on acting.
Although it was said to be for the promotion of the drama, Shang Yuxin still had no intention of agreeing.
Even Xu Kong will not actually affect some of her own decisions and plans.
However, Shang Yuxin's character, even if she has rejected it in her heart, she still won't say it outright.
"Can I hear what the song is first?"
Shang Yuxin was just looking for an excuse.
After actually listening to it, I would decline the song on the grounds that I was not suitable for the song and felt that I could not sing it well.
Xu Kong didn't hesitate, he took the guitar that he had performed at the "Our Song" final last time from his room and started playing and singing live.
This is the second time Shang Yuxin listens to Xu Kong singing live.
The first time was the final stage of "Our Song".
However, she was sitting in the audience at that time, and she was actually quite far away from Xu Kong on the stage.
But this time, Xu Kong sat almost face to face in front of her.
Shang Yuxin found that she and Xu Kong were quite similar, and they didn't seem very serious when they got along.
But when I really start working, I am extremely serious and will maintain a state of absolute concentration without being disturbed by the outside world.
Just like Xu Kong who is singing now.
When he picked up the guitar, it was like a completely different person.
"Brother Xu Kong sings beautifully!"
As soon as Xu Kong finished singing, Song Youyou applauded enthusiastically.
However, Shang Yuxin, who had already made up his mind to reject Xu Kong, fell silent at this moment, not knowing what he was thinking.
"What do you think?"
Seeing that Shang Yuxin remained silent, Xu Kong took the initiative to ask.
Shang Yuxin did not answer Xu Kong's words, but asked instead:
"Did you write this song specifically for Lin Yueru?"
Xu Kong hesitated for a moment. Although he knew that this song was not strictly composed specifically for Fairy Sword in his previous life, it was indeed very suitable for the role of Lin Yueru.
"You can understand it that way."
Song Youyou just thinks this song is a little sad and quite nice.
But as Lin Yueru, who has been acting for more than a month, has read the script countless times, and even wrote a biography of the character, it is inevitable to get involved when Xu Kong sings.
Shang Yuxin has done various psychological analyzes on Lin Yueru, and knows very well what it feels like.
So after listening to this song, she had almost no doubt that this song was written specifically for Lin Yueru by Xu Kong.
The other party's previous proposal was not just for the promotion of the show.
But this song is indeed the most suitable for her to sing.
"What's the name of this song?"
Xu Kong answered: ""It's been very quiet"
"One of the episodes."
If we talk about the soundtrack in Fairy Sword, this episode is definitely one of them that impressed Xu Kong the most.
It should be regarded as Lin Yueru’s exclusive BGM in the play.
Shang Yuxin thought for a while and then said:
"I agreed."
"Send me the lyrics and score, and I'll ask my agent to contact Beijing TV Station."
She was a little lucky, but fortunately she hadn't had time to ask her agent to reject all these New Year's Eve parties.
That afternoon, Shang Yuxin read the lyrics of the entire song many times.
Even when I finished work at night, I still had the lyrics given by Xu Kong in my hand.
"You are an actor after all. Is your memory good enough?"
Xu Kong thought it was because the other party couldn't remember the lyrics, so he said something.
Unexpectedly, Shang Yuxin didn't say anything flirty this time, but gave Xu Kong a rather resentful look.
"If you had given me this song earlier, I might not have had to work so hard before"
Shang Yuxin's words are really not exaggerated.
If she had heard the song "Always Quiet" earlier, she might have understood the heart of Lin Yueru's character faster.
Xu Kong said awkwardly: "Sorry, I forgot."
He also understood what Shang Yuxin meant.
It is indeed one of his jobs as a director to let the actors understand the characters.
The main reason is that I really didn't expect such a method.
Moreover, Shang Yuxin's performance has always been quite good, and the filming went smoothly, and there was never any difficulty in filling the role.
The three leading actors in the crew are going to attend the New Year's Eve party, and the Fairy Sword crew simply started the New Year's Day holiday early.
Xu Kong received a message from Su Zhi, who also wanted to attend the party this year.
But it's not the Beijing TV station, nor any other local TV station, but the official New Year's Day party.
There is no way, because Su Zhi has been officially invited several times this year because of her previous song "As You Wish".
It's the same this time. This song is indeed very suitable for some official parties.
But this is definitely a good thing for Su Zhi.
Although it is just a song, for artists in the entertainment industry, such works can often save lives.
Based on Xu Kong's understanding of Su Zhi, he probably wouldn't be able to use it one day.
But even if you just regularly attend official parties and performances, it will definitely be of great benefit to the artist's career.
"Hello, three teachers, welcome."
Xu Kong was stunned for the first time when he saw the director of Beijing TV's New Year's Eve party.
Not because he knew the other person, but because this Liu Qiliang was so similar to the Guo Zihao he saw every day!
He is also a fat man with relatively fair skin, and even his facial features are very similar.
The only difference may be that the age difference between the two is quite a bit, probably around ten or twenty years old.
In Xu Kong's eyes, Liu Qiliang is like a middle-aged version of Guo Zihao.
Not only Xu Kong, but also Song Youyou and Shang Yuxin who came together discovered this.
But Xu Kong asked later and found that the other party and Guo Zihao were indeed not relatives.
The two of them are not from the same place at all.
Liu Qiliang didn't have any lost sons.
However, Xu Kong couldn't guarantee this last point, so he could only wait until he returned to the hotel to ask Guo Zihao. Because there were still some things to deal with in Feng Ge's studio, Guo Zihao didn't follow him this time.
"There is no problem with the programs of both teachers. I think they can be on them."
After watching Song Youyou and Shang Yuxin's performances, Liu Qiliang spoke directly and generously.
As the director of this New Year's Eve party, Liu Qiliang still kept a low profile.
It can be said to be quite polite.
This has partly to do with the other party's personality. Of course, the more important reason is that the three of them are all artists under Feng Ge, and their positions are not small.
Even Xu Kong has been very popular recently, and there are signs of success in transforming from a traffic idol.
Not to mention that there is a person with a special status like Song Youyou among them.
Beijing TV Station and Feng Ge have always had a good cooperative relationship, and Feng Ge's status in the circle is also there.
Of course, Liu Qiliang's decision was still based on his own judgment.
Song Youyou's song "The Magic of Love" itself became popular once this year, and with Song Youyou's image as the nation's first love, there must be no problem with such a stage.
In addition, the song "Always Quiet" sung by Shang Yuxin can be regarded as a favor on their part to help promote Xu Kong's new drama.
The quality of the song is no problem, and it is a new song written by Xu Kong. Due to various considerations, there is no reason to reject it.
Xu Kong is preparing to go on stage to audition. The song he prepared this time is also from "Legend of Sword and Fairy". One song is also for promotion, and the two songs are the same. Xu Kong focuses on one picture to save trouble.
However, Liu Qiliang stopped Xu Kong at this time.
"Teacher Xu Kong, you are special this time."
Liu Qiliang tidied up his language and then continued:
"We have discussed this time and plan to let you take charge of the odd performance."
Xu Kong was obviously stunned when he heard this.
He originally wanted to come here to have some fun, but why did it suddenly become a zero-hour venue?
You know, that time period should be the most important stage of the entire New Year's Eve party.
Under normal circumstances, the artists will stay directly after the performance to count down to the New Year with the host.
Although he is indeed very popular this year, this kind of treatment is a bit too exaggerated, right?
Seeing that Xu Kong was a little confused, Liu Qiliang quickly explained.
"But for the zero-hour performance, it's not just Teacher Xu Kong. We want you to collaborate with Teacher Hua Hongjuan."
"And I hope you can help me write a new song."
Before Xu Kong came, he really didn't expect such a result.
But he must know Hua Hongjuan.
In other words, given the popularity of Hua Hongjuan, a veteran singer in the country, there is no way anyone in the industry would not recognize her.
Hua Hongjuan is the most accomplished female singer in China in the past ten years.
She is also a diva, and someone as high-ranking as Su Zhi is completely incomparable to her counterpart.
Moreover, Hua Hongjuan is also a national-level singer from the official side. She has excellent singing skills and is famous for her amazing high notes and angry voice.
In addition, the tags on his body include being a frequent visitor to the Spring Festival Gala, a singer performing at the finale of various large-scale evening parties, and even a designated guest performer at the opening ceremony of the sports games.
"Director Liu, you are putting me under a lot of pressure."
Xu Kong couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Forget about the finale of Zero Point Field. After all, in this era where traffic is king, strictly speaking, there is no problem with Xu Kong's current popularity.
But on the same stage as Hua Hongjuan, there is a high probability that she will be overwhelmed by the opponent and lose her sense of presence at all.
"I made this decision just because I believe in your ability, Teacher Xu Kong."
Liu Qiliang said.
In fact, if it was Xu Kong before, Liu Qiliang would not dare to take such a risk.
But this year we finally managed to invite Hua Hongjuan, and the authorities also gave us ratings targets, so we might as well just give it a try.
Bet on Xu Kong's creative ability.
Moreover, Xu Kong, the most eye-catching newcomer in the music scene this year, sharing the stage with Hua Hongjuan, the top veteran singer in the Chinese music scene, is definitely a highlight.
Xu Kong has huge traffic, if the quality of the stage is guaranteed.
Then the ratings and word-of-mouth can be taken into consideration.
"But now there is less than a week left."
Xu Kong still hesitated.
In fact, writing songs is not a problem for him.
The key is that he really doesn't have much confidence that he can catch the scene with Hua Hongjuan.
"If it's really difficult."
Liu Qiliang saw Xu Kong's hesitation, but he didn't insist too much.
It's normal for Xu Kong to be stressed. Any other singer would probably be stressed too.
What's more, Hua Hongjuan hasn't released a new song for several years. They had previously invited some songwriters in the industry to help write songs, but they were not satisfied with the results.
If Xu Kong can't do it, he can only let Hua Hongjuan sing old songs at the finale of the party.
But in that case, the final ratings and the popularity of the party will probably not achieve the best results.
This New Year's Eve party had been given a target, and he still hoped to take a gamble.
"Does Teacher Hua have time this week?"
Just when Liu Qiliang was about to give up, he suddenly heard Xu Kong ask.
He was suddenly surprised.
"Teacher Hua is in Beijing this week, so he must have time."
"Teacher Xu Kong, have you agreed?"
Xu Kong nodded.
Although there are indeed risks in doing so.
But Xu Kong still didn't want to waste such an opportunity.
In fact, Xu Kong has been exploring this body's vocal talent since he traveled through time.
My current singing skills are actually far better than those in my previous life.
Of course, Xu Kong certainly didn't intend to just satisfy the idea of being usable.
After all, he still has a lot of songs in his mind that he wants to sing. It would be a pity if he couldn't sing them because of his singing skills.
This cooperation with Hua Hongjuan, a female singer with the best singing skills in the country, is also an opportunity for him to practice.
"That new song"
"Can you finish it before rehearsal?"
Liu Qiliang still asked a little worriedly.
In fact, in his opinion, as long as the song is written and more time is spent on subsequent rehearsals, with Hua Hongjuan's singing skills, there is a high probability that there will be no problem.
According to his research on some of Xu Kong's performances, his current singing skills are also very good.
And after all, I wrote the song myself, so the effect of the performance will not be bad no matter what.
Of course, Xu Kong had completely different ideas at this time.
Quite the opposite of Liu Qiliang's worries.
In his opinion, writing songs is not a problem at all.
The crux of the matter is how to sing this song well, at least not to be pressured too hard by Hua Hongjuan.
"It won't take that long, I can write it today."
"But Teacher Hua, Director Liu has to contact me quickly. It's best to have time to rehearse a few times in the past few days."
