Chapter 274 If you fail, don’t you need to learn by yourself? Isn’t it stupid!
Seeing this promotional poster with the words "Come on boys", Zhang Wei immediately understood what it was that Lu Yunxiang was clamoring to participate in.
The Super Girl audition two years ago was obviously the masterpiece of domestic entertainment talent shows.
Super Girl is different from previous entertainment programs. Previous entertainment programs all had a threshold and basically consisted of various professionals performing on stage.
Super Girl is a talent show for the common people regardless of age, region, or appearance, as long as you are a woman and like to sing. This directly brings the ordinary people closer and instantly captures the audience. their hearts.
SMS voting determines the way contestants advance, so that the results of the competition are no longer decided by the judges, and the audience becomes more involved in the program, eventually forming a national trend and a carnival for the common people.
The 2007 Fast Boy was the second time a domestic entertainment talent show became a star, and its popularity was even more than that of the 2005 Super Girl.
This is mainly due to the development of the Internet. In 2007, Kuainan not only attracted attention from TV and print media, but also became popular on the Internet. This is a treatment that Supergirl did not have in 2005.
In 2007, although there were no hot searches on Weibo, the publicity of online media cannot be underestimated. Especially for people aged 18 to 35, the Internet is their main source of information. channels, and these people are precisely the main audiences of talent shows.
Therefore, with the support of the Internet, Kuai Nan had the highest ratings in 2007 and was also hailed as the ceiling for domestic entertainment talent shows.
After that, several subsequent editions of Super Girls and Fast Boys were held, including music talent shows such as "The Voice of China", development talent shows such as "Idol Producer", growth programs such as "Creation Camp", and "Singer" is the PK of such a powerful singer.
These programs are very popular and well-known. They are played hundreds of millions of times on the Internet. However, they are basically just outside the circle and cannot reach the level of mass participation like Kuaiman in 2007. Common people Level of carnival.
Many future programs will clearly have scripts. From the instructors, to the judges, to the contestants, and even the audience, the expressions of many people are designed, and even the champion is predetermined.
Some talent shows have basically become story gatherings. Just sing well. After you finish singing, you have to tell a story. Telling the story has to be even more miserable, coupled with the fact that there are a few people in the audience who were crying miserably. The audience, with this material, the Red Cross is crying!
Guests also often ask nonsensical questions, such as why you want to attend. Isn’t this fucking nonsense? Of course the reason for participating in the talent show is to become famous! If not for fame, who would participate in this crappy show of yours?
If you like singing, I can go to KTV and sing. The manager will give you a fruit plate after singing for a day. If you pay more, there will be a girl to sing with you! Isn’t this young lady with a beautiful voice and a sweet voice better than the old faces of you judges?
Zhang Wei still remembers the life before his rebirth. In the summer vacation of 2007, he just graduated. He couldn't find a suitable job for the time being, so he squatted at home to prepare for the career exam.
At that time, he was also a loyal audience of Kuainan, and he once voted with his mobile phone during the live broadcast.
When 7 was promoted to 6, Zhang Wei thought Wang Lexin was very handsome, so he stole his vote via text message, and Wang Lexin was eliminated;
When 6 was promoted to 5, Zhang Wei voted for Prince Han again, and the result Prince Han stopped at the top six.
5th to 4th, Zhang Wei felt that Jijie looked like Andy Lau and could be regarded as a superstar, so he gave Jijie a vote, and then Jijie lost to another Jiejie in the final PK.
The other brother Jie is indeed very strong. When he was promoted from 4th to 3rd, Zhang Wei decisively supported him, but as a result, Jiege was eliminated by Mr. Xiao Su through PK.
In 3rd and 2nd promotion, Zhang Wei again voted for the handsome guy Wei Chen, but it was Chen Liangju and Xiao Su who were promoted in the end, and the handsome guy was eliminated.
In the finals, Zhang Wei voted for Mr. Su via text message. As everyone knows, Chen Liangjie was worthy of the title of "tone hooligan" and won the championship.
In other words, Zhang Wei's vote perfectly avoided all the promoted contestants. It was simply that whoever he voted for would be disgraced.
Recalling these, Zhang Wei couldn't help but have a faint smile on his face.
However, Ye Haotian next to him didn't know "Come Soon Boy". He asked: "What is this? It looks like a singing competition!"
"Brother Haotian, You know the Super Girl audition, right? This "Fast Boy" is Super Boy, and it is also hosted by Xiaoxiang TV." Lu Yunxiang explained.
"Then why not just call him Super Boy?" Ye Haotian asked.
Lu Yunxiang shook his head: "I don't know about that. The name given by the organizer is whatever they think of."
Zhang Wei then explained: "It's because the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television doesn't allow it. If you call me Super Boy, you won't get approval."
"Why not?" Lu Yunxiang looked like a curious baby.
“I don’t know.” Zhang Wei shook his head and continued: “But I guess it’s because Super Girl was so popular in the first two years and had a great impact across the country and received high praise. Social visibility.
As the regulatory authorities, they probably don’t want the ‘Super’ brand to continue to be popular. They hope to regulate the cultural market from a macro perspective to achieve balance, rather than letting one satellite TV company dominate. "
"That makes sense." Ye Haotian nodded slightly, then looked at Lu Yunxiang, and then asked: "Xiao Lu, you want to participate in this "Fast Boy" because you want to be a star. ”
"Who didn't dream of becoming a star when they were young! Maybe I will be the next Jay Chou!" Lu Yunxiang said with a look of longing.
"This is absolutely impossible." Zhang Wei immediately poured cold water on him and continued: "By the way, if you want to be a star, just ask your dad to invest in a few movies for you. Anyway, these days There are many coal bosses investing in movies. Why bother to participate in this talent show? "
"That's right, I also think I am more suitable for acting in kung fu movies." Lu Yunxiang nodded shamelessly.
"You, you still act in a Kung Fu movie? How can you get beaten for acting?" Ye Haotian joked with a smile.
"Brother Haotian, don't underestimate me, I'm also a martial artist! My dad was afraid that I would be kidnapped by bad guys, so he asked a Sanda coach to teach me! I'm not bragging to you, I can fight alone, Ten!”
Lu Yunxiang said, holding out three fingers.
"You were originally going to say, can you hit three with one?" Ye Haotian pointed to the three fingers stretched out by Lu Yunxiang.
After being exposed by Ye Haotian, Lu Yunxiang was a little embarrassed. He immediately changed the topic and asked: "Viagra, I just said that the name is unlucky. How did the name of "Fast Boy" become bad?"
"The main reason is that the word 'kuai' is not used well. When the four words 'thin, short, fast and soft' are used together with boys, do you feel that there is a strong sense of tragedy?" Zhang Wei asked with a smile.
"It seems a bit." Lu Yunxiang frowned and thought for a while, then said: "No, 'thin, short and soft' is more tragic, I can understand, what's wrong? This should be a compliment, right? ”
"What he's talking about is not the frequency of exercise, but the duration." Ye Haotian explained.
"Look, your brother Haotian has experience in this area, and he can tell you everything." Zhang Wei said.
"Get out! You are the one who has experience, you are thin and short and soft! I am thick but hard!" Ye Haotian said with a proud face.
"Stop talking nonsense, you are the only one who is still thick and tall? We have been classmates for four years, and we have never peed together. How can we not know each other's virtues?" Zhang Wei curled his lips.
Ye Haotian pouted and sat in rows with "one against ten", the two of them were embarrassed together.
Lu Yunxiang continued, "Brother, do you want to join me in the upcoming boys' audition? Brother Haotian, I remember that you studied vocal music and sang at the New Year's Day Gala every year. Come with me!" "
"I think it's okay. Anyway, you have already decided on Harvard and Yale. You don't need to do an internship next semester. Why not just go have fun with Lu Yunxiang and relax?" Zhang Wei said from the side. encouraged.
"Yes, Brother Haotian, the two of us can form a group by then, just like Shuimu Nianhua! Then we will be the first brother of Tsinghua University Music!"
Lu Yunxiang 1 With an excited face, he continued: "Viagra, why don't you come too! The three of us are a combination, what should we name it? What do you think of Boiling Boy? Do you feel like your blood is boiling?" "It's boiling blood." , It’s all cooked,” Zhang Wei said.
"Brother, if you don't like it, then change it and call it Feiteng Boy. It will feel like an eagle soaring in the sky!" Lu Yunxiang continued.
"Then it's better to call him Tengfei Boy, which is easier to pronounce than Feiteng Boy." Ye Haotian said from the side.
"Brother Haotian is right, Tengfeiboys, the name is smooth and the meaning is good. In English, it is TengFeiboys, or TFboys for short!"
Zhang Wei, who was drinking water next to him, drank all the water in one sip. Squirted out!
……
Lu Yunxiang opened his guitar bag and took out his guitar.
"Martin Guitar, Xiao Lu, you are really rich!" Ye Haotian couldn't help but come up to him.
"Brother, do you also play guitar?"
"Nonsense, you just said that I have studied vocal music!" Ye Haotian continued: "Martin guitar, I really haven't played it yet. But the best one I have ever played is Gibson."
"Is this Martin guitar good?" Zhang Wei, who knew nothing about guitars, asked.
"I don't know if it's good or not, but it's expensive." Ye Haotian explained.
"Brother, how about you try my guitar first? This one is not made of mahogany, but spruce. The sound quality is quite unique." Lu Yunxiang explained.
"Then let me try!" Ye Haotian took the guitar and played a simple song.
"How is it? Not bad, right?" Lu Yunxiang said with a showy face.
"The quality of the music is indeed better than Gibson's." Ye Haotian nodded.
"Viagra, do you want to try it?" Lu Yunxiang asked next.
“I can’t!” Zhang Wei replied.
"What?" Lu Yunxiang showed a surprised expression, then looked at Zhang Wei as if he were a monster, and exclaimed: "Brother, I didn't expect that there are things you don't know! "
"Nonsense, I'm not Ye Haotian. I'm proficient in singing and dancing!
"Hahaha..." Lu Yunxiang smiled triumphantly: "Three years, I have been waiting for three full years! I finally waited. Do you know how I got here in the past three years?"
< br>"If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't play "Infernal Affairs" with me. You are not Tony Leung!" Zhang Wei said.
Lu Yunxiang continued; "I have been waiting for three years, and finally I have something that Viagra can't do, but I can do it! I am so happy and have such a sense of accomplishment!"
"This I'm afraid the kid is going crazy!" Ye Haotian paused and then said, "You said you wanted to find a sense of accomplishment! You're a mediocre basketball player, and your shooting is lousy, at least not as good as yours."
"But his prediction of the NBA championship is accurate! At the beginning of last season, he predicted that the Heat would win the championship. If he can predict such an upset, Viagra must understand football." Lu Yunxiang pointed to the guitar as he said: "But this one is good at playing guitar. It’s different, Viagra doesn’t understand it at all”
After Lu Yunxiang finished speaking, he actually picked up the guitar and said with a stern face: "I will sing a song by Zhang Wei now to celebrate!"
"Zhang Wei's song? You can't even play the guitar?" You can’t even play, but you can also sing?” Ye Haotian looked curious.
"Hee swish, hee swish, hee swish! Oh oh!" Lu Yunxiang began to play and sing.
“Don’t mention it, it’s really Zhang Wei’s song.” Ye Haotian supported.
Zhang Wei pouted with an unhappy look on his face, and then said; "Ye Haotian, starting from tomorrow, you teach me how to play the guitar! Otherwise, I have to watch this pretense every day!"< br>
...
Ye Haotian is in the second semester of his senior year, and has decided to go to the United States to study for graduate school, so he has basically nothing to do now, so he taught Zhang Wei how to play guitar in the dormitory.
“The guitar is actually an instrument that is very easy to pick up.”
“It’s not difficult for those who can learn it, but it’s not difficult for those who are not. If you can play the guitar, you must say so!”
"What I said is true. Learning guitar does not require much music theory knowledge, and you can even get started with zero foundation. However, if you just start learning, your fingers may hurt a little, and you will get used to it. Of course, the most important thing is Yes, you have met a good teacher like me, and I promise to let you learn to play "Little Star" before going to the United States!"
Ye Haotian said, pushing the Martin guitar to Zhang Wei, and at the same time said: "Let's start with the structure of the guitar. If you use a Martin guitar when you first start learning, you can be considered the most luxurious beginner."
Ye Haotian is indeed a good teacher, and the guitar is really easy to learn. Zhang Wei can play different tones.
Next, start learning basic chords. And Zhang Wei also revealed his ordinary musical talent.
"These are the most basic chords, why haven't you learned it yet! Aren't you very smart when you were doing scientific research? How can you learn guitar like ordinary people?" Ye Haotian couldn't help but complained.
In Ye Haotian's opinion, the Big Devil should be extremely talented in all aspects. Things like guitar should be easy to learn.
However, Zhang Wei's performance was completely worthy of the title of "Big Devil", and instead looked like a scumbag.
"Is it possible that you really have no musical talent? The most basic chords are so strenuous. In the future, you will not have to practice for three months to learn the big horizontal chords?" Ye Haotian said to himself.
"What is a big horizontal press?" Zhang Wei asked.
"It is a closed chord, which is a chord in which you press all the strings on the first fret with your index finger, middle finger or ring finger. It is the first difficulty in learning guitar." Ye Haotian explained.
"What is the second difficulty?" Zhang Wei asked again.
"The conversion of chords is to switch to the next chord very quickly. It tests the flexibility and function of the left hand, as well as the proficiency of chords."
Ye Haotian paused for a moment, then continued: "I said These two difficulties, if you are not extremely talented, you can only practice hard."
"How long did you study at that time?" Zhang Wei asked again.
"For the big horizontal press, I practiced for about an hour every day and learned it in about a month. However, I have learned other instruments before and have a vocal foundation, so I am faster than ordinary beginners." Ye Haotian introduced road.
"A genius like Ye Haotian has to study for a month, so I can't use it for a year?" Zhang Wei sighed, rubbed his sore fingers, and thought to himself that he might as well exchange it with the devil!
I mean, you don’t have to learn it yourself? Am I stupid!
