Chapter 298: Love the world you love, and may your wishes come true, so that every day of this prosperous age will not be wasted!
After Zhong Wentai solved the release schedule of "Dream Builder", he immediately made arrangements for the drama performance on the road show.
The first thing that needs to be finalized is the script.
Only when the content of the script is determined can the venue, lighting, scenery and other settings be selected based on the content.
Thinking of this, Zhong Wentai couldn't help but say to his wife:
"They gave me a difficult problem! I have only written movie scripts, never a play, so I have to learn it quickly."
His wife looked at him speechlessly, "Why do I think you enjoy it?"
If he really felt troublesome, he wouldn't be smiling these days, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Zhong Wentai said with a smile: "I also want to learn as much as I can, and be curious about areas I have never been exposed to."
Although he said he had never been exposed to it, as a top screenwriter, he knew everything.
Whether you are writing a TV series, a movie, or a drama script, it is still a script after all, it is just conveyed through different forms of expression.
Zhong Wentai just pondered for a day and watched several lectures by master drama screenwriters and several drama creation textbooks online. In addition, he found some mature drama scripts through personal channels for comparison.
Soon he understood what a drama script was all about.
As he pondered the performance form of the drama, a sub-picture gradually formed in his mind.
One thing Jinli was right about was that the content of the drama should not overlap with the content of the movie as much as possible.
If the audience knows the content of the movie through a drama, it will greatly weaken the sense of expectation when watching the movie.
Zhong Wentai doesn’t want to put the cart before the horse.
So he thought for a long time and decided to divide the content of the play into three acts, that is, three major contents to show.
In the quiet study room, Zhong Wentai was writing furiously with his pen.
His wife, who was also his assistant, suddenly received a call.
The relevant publicity department called specifically to ask if the schedule for "Dream Builders" had been resolved.
If the movie theater still won't let go, they should also talk to them over there.
His wife looked at Lao Zhong, who was concentrating on writing the script, and said with a smile: "It has been solved, thank you for your concern!"
-
At the same time, Chenxi Entertainment is here.
After Xi Mengze adjusted his condition to the best, he finally decided to officially start recording the song "Wishful".
Because this song is specially used as a movie promotion song for "Dream Builder", it must be magnificent in momentum, which requires a large symphony orchestra to accompany Mengmeng.
Chenxi Entertainment, a small one-third of an acre of land, is still an amateur-level recording studio, so it is absolutely impossible to record.
Xi Mengze originally sang a demo, and the acoustic treatment was relatively simple, so he recorded it in Chenxi Entertainment's recording studio.
But when it came to the official recording, she still used Ji Qinglian's relationship to jump in and get Tianding Entertainment's professional recording studio.
On the day of recording, Jinli also went with him.
Don't ask, just listen in advance and get a feel for it.
After all, when it's her turn to record, she will definitely enter Tianding's professional-grade recording studio.
This was not the first time Jinli came to Tianding Entertainment's recording studio, but the singing studios Gu Cheng had used his privileges to open for her before were all semi-professional-level recording studios.
So strictly speaking, this is her first time in Tianding's professional recording studio.
In the past, pink girls became famous, and every single they recorded was popular in the streets. They also recorded in professional recording studios.
But that was several years ago.
Several years later, Jinli came to a professional recording studio again. Looking at the facilities inside, she felt familiar yet unfamiliar.
"How about it? Do you feel that many things have been updated, even the styles have changed?"
Xi Mengze introduced Jinli to the high-end audio equipment needed for recording, professional audio interfaces, large mixing consoles... he said with emotion.
Jinli nodded and took a long breath: "I feel a little stressed."
After she became famous again, she also sang, but it was either live singing or singing in variety shows, and she basically did not need such a professional recording studio.
And this is a large recording studio with at least 500 square meters.
This kind of recording studio can accommodate large bands and choirs for joint recording, has multiple independent areas and control rooms, and has powerful equipment systems and post-production.
This is specially used for the production of large-scale music projects, commercial soundtracks and movie soundtrack recordings.
As an exclusive movie promotion song, even if it is a ready-made song, it must be adapted slightly to suit the movie.
"Why are you so reserved? How about we sing a group song first to open up our voices?"
Suddenly a clear voice came, and Ji Qinglian walked in from the door.
She just finished running the announcements in the morning and originally planned to take a rest in the afternoon because she would continue to run the announcements in the evening.
But when she heard that Mengmeng and Liyu were coming, she still forced herself to get up and look for them.
She hadn't heard Mengmeng sing for a long time, and wanted to hear what level Mengmeng was at now.
The news circulating on the Internet is too fake. There is a high possibility that the variety show will be edited. It is better to listen to it with your own ears.
It just so happened that she had a music variety show in hand, and in the third episode she was looking for professional singers in the industry to be guest singers, and she wanted to find Xi Mengze.
Xi Mengze shrugged and said with a relaxed expression: "I'm okay, but the carp is a little uncomfortable."
Jinli whispered to the captain: "In case I need to sing when promoting the movie later, the director also asked me to record a version of my own promotional song."
Ji Qinglian raised her eyebrows: "Let you also sing "Wish"?"
Jinli nodded.
Ji Qinglian understood and patted her shoulder: "The pressure is high enough, it's not easy for you."
Soon, the tuner was ready to be in place.
Without further ado, Xi Mengze went directly to audition for the first edition.
The song "As You Wish" was originally a promotional song for a movie. The movie was very similar in nature to "Dream Builder". It was also a national support project that sang about the motherland and presented gifts to the motherland.
Because of the similar nature, this is also the reason why Director Zhong finally chose this song.
But Xi Mengze's voice is very different from the original singer's voice.
The original singer's voice is cold and elegant, and there is a sense of alienation from a palace in the sky overlooking the world of mortals.
This kind of sound is very special. It's either unpleasant to hear, or it's so pleasant that it touches people's hearts.
Just listening to the first sentence can leave a deep impression in the hearts of all listeners.
Similar to the original version, Xi Mengze's singing at the beginning only introduced the piano and string opening music without adding other soundtracks to disturb the purity of the song.
"You are the long way
Lamps in the fog in the mountains
I am a child, walking in your eyes"
"Wow!" Mengmeng just sang the first line, and Jinli and Ji Qinglian felt goosebumps on their arms.
It’s so refreshing that it makes people numb!
The quality of the lyrics I just started singing is simply amazing!
"You are the bright moon and the breeze
I am the dream you take care of
Whether I see you or not, I will live with you forever." Different from the cold feeling of the original version, Mengmeng's voice is more mellow, leaning more towards the mid-range.
So she deliberately lowered her voice but raised the key to sing in a way that gave her a sad, choking and broken feeling.
This kind of tone that sounds like crying but not crying is very special. Later, the voice gradually becomes high and progressive, and there will be a sense of enlightenment and struggle after seeing through.
But because this song is not a love song, the feeling when performing it is——
When the mountains and rivers were shattered, and at the critical moment, a group of people stood up and supported the blue sky for us.
It is precisely because of their struggle and sacrifice that the mountains and rivers are now prosperous and reborn.
There is tragic magnificence in sorrow, but there is also the exuberance of new life!
"And I will love the world you love
May you have the smile you wish for
I'm holding your hand hobblingly
Please take me to tomorrow
If you have ever been bitter to my sweetness
I am willing to live your wish
I wish it was not in vain, I wish to go forward bravely
Every day in this prosperous age! ”
……
Xi Mengze recorded it three times in total, and with Jinli's semi-professional ears, he could hear the subtle differences in each interpretation.
But this cannot be said that the more you sing, the better. It can only be said that each has its own taste.
When she sang for the third time, Jinli quietly picked up her phone and recorded the scene of Mengmeng closing her eyes and singing intoxicated.
She just recorded a short clip, and then sent it to the group chat between Pink Girl and March Sky, asking them not to spread the word.
Ji Qinglian took out her phone and immediately sent a dozen applause emoticons.
Lotus: [What is professional? Look, this is called professionalism! None of us can match Mengmeng’s singing skills】
NANA: [I was in the car. I just clicked on it and my manager asked me who sang this version. It sounded pretty good. She thought I was listening to a single! ! 】
Pearl: […]
Pearl: [I am suddenly full of pessimism about the transition to singing and dancing life. If every singer has Mengmeng’s ability, then I’m not going to transition. I’d better retire and go home as soon as possible T﹏T]
Lotus: [I have to say, the light of the girl group! 】
Lotus: [Who said that only the faces of girl groups can be seen? Look, isn’t this singer also very good at singing?
Although our group has disbanded, we have finally discovered such excellent singers for the entertainment industry! 】
Jinli: [I actually want to sing another version of this song. Now I tell the director not to sing, I don’t know if it’s too late (sad)]
Without comparison, there would be no harm. With Zhuyu in front of him, Jinli didn't want to sing even more.
The sky is full of spirits and the earth is full of spirits. This time I have to take out the gods and worship them, otherwise I won’t be able to hold on! !
In March Tian's group chat, they were no less shocked than the pink girl, and their praises were even more exaggerated.
【The sound of nature! 】
[This sound can only be heard in heaven, and is rarely heard in the human world! 】
[Sister Mengze, can you develop later? Can you give our idol singers a way to survive? 】
[This version of the promotional song has been circulated, and netizens must have told us to join her quickly (danger), feeling that we are about to lose our jobs]
Yan Xingdong listened to the video of Jinlifa many times and couldn't help but sigh to his teammates:
"This kind of singing ability is really incredible. I feel that in the industry, her singing voice is already at the ceiling level and cannot be replaced casually."
Chen Lin echoed: "It is not easy to discover Xi Mengze in "My Name is a Singer". If it weren't for this show, many people would not be able to see her talent."
Gu Cheng didn't know what he thought of and asked: "She doesn't seem to participate in music festivals very much?"
Yan Xingdong nodded: "Yes, she prefers traveling and vacation. She doesn't have many announcements and arrangements, and she spends her free time resting."
Gu Cheng didn't ask him why he knew so clearly. He remembered that the captain asked them a few days ago if they had any programs like travel music variety shows, and Xi Mengze asked him to introduce them.
Gu Cheng said, "It's better to let her go to more music festivals. Music festivals are still very popular during the summer.
Many of the announcements she participated in were variety shows, lacking the opportunity to meet face to face with the audience. Such a beautiful voice should be known to more people. ”
Yan Xingdong hesitated: "But the music festival schedule is too tight, and scheduling is a problem. Many tourist cities with small qualifications also hold music festivals, and the planning is very poor."
March Day is also a regular guest who is often invited to attend music festivals.
So they know very well what the current music festival process is like.
In the past, music festival tickets were expensive, but the management was strict, and they were all held in big cities, and the singers invited were all capable.
But now the qualifications for holding music festivals are open, and many small tourist cities, even small cities that are not even related to "tourism", can also host music festivals.
The local government invites celebrities to perform under the guise of "concert concerts", which in turn boosts the local economy.
This has also led to the uneven performance of many music festivals. Once the scheduling is wrong, the reputation of the stars will also be affected.
Chen Lin suddenly thought of something and said, "Why don't we just take her with us? We don't like small music festivals, so let her go to large music festivals with us."
Having said this, Chen Lin smiled again: "I don't think you need to think so much, Chenxi Entertainment is not short of money, and her agent is so smart.
If you really plan to go to the music festival, you will definitely make good arrangements for her. If you don't have experience, Sister Fang can just call Brother Guang. It's just a matter of a few words. ”
Because Ji Qinglian signed a contract with Tianding Entertainment, Chenxi and Tianding are now tending to join forces, and they are in an ambiguous period.
For its second- and third-tier artists, the two companies often exchange resources.
Overall, Tianding is still leading Chenxi.
But there's nothing we can do about it. Chenxi Entertainment has two top women in Jinli and Xi Mengze, which is exactly what Tianding lacks.
To put it more accurately, Chenxi is a combination of yin and yang, while Tianding is yang and yin. The two companies complement each other.
It's not that easy to be a top player.
Without the bonus period of becoming popular, now we are switching from incremental to stock-based operations. How to maintain the fans of celebrities and not lose them is a topic that every idol company must study.
This is indispensable without the Belt and Road Initiative and mutual help.
But when it comes to top stars with positive energy like them, they start to turn to another more difficult path.
From the fan economy to the passer-by economy, from a niche carnival to a positive star gradually accepted by the public.
This is a path to the top.
Both the former members of Pink Girl and March Days are following this path.
-
After Xi Mengze finished recording, Jinli finally plucked up the courage and went to the studio to record.
Her level is definitely not comparable to Xi Mengze's, but as a singer and dancer, Jinli's singing ability is relatively good.
But the difficulty is that this song tends to be a pure enjoyment version, that is, pure singing, with very little stage effect.
The studio version can still be repaired, but the live version will expose many shortcomings.
While listening to Jinli's singing, Xi Mengze communicated with Ji Qinglian and came up with a way for Jinli to use her strengths and avoid her weaknesses.
Jinli walked out of the recording studio, and the two of them said in unison:
"How about a live version of "Ruishi" instead of a singing and dancing version?"
Jinli refused unwillingly and said sternly: "No, isn't this a magic reform?!"
Good night
