"Uh, with Boss Wu?"

"Yes, he'll make a cameo appearance in this scene, so I'll make an appointment to sit down and talk. ”

"A cameo?"

Director Guo paused: "Anyway, let's talk about the cameo first." ”

Okay, I understand, the entire liar crew, Wu Jin plays Liu Peiqiang, no matter what, I can't see a cameo from the script - the male number one in this play is actually Liu Qi, because it is a very Chinese movie, a domestic movie, and it will probably die in the end, and it is not the protagonist, especially if he dies to carry out someone else's plan, let alone the protagonist.

But Liu Peiqiang is definitely the protagonist, and he actually used a cameo to deceive people, saying that Boss Wu is more righteous, and it doesn't seem to be fake.

"Okay. ”

"Okay, then I'll arrange it. emmm Ji Ming'er——"

"Huh?"

Director Guo hesitated again: "Let me say it first, you may have to be mentally prepared, our crew is indeed poor, and we do understand your current market - we must not be able to afford that price." ”

Ji Ming ORZ, to be honest, he doesn't know much about his own market - filming "God of Medicine" is basically a friendly cameo, filming "Falling to the Immortals" is also a loss-making business, and the rest of the dramas have no market at all, strictly speaking, what he makes money now is commercial performances and endorsements - especially commercial performances, although the frequency is not high, but as one of the artists with the highest commercial performance prices, this income is still considerable, and the house money is basically earned from this.

So after hanging up the phone, he called Yang Ruyi and asked about his market.

"If you push it forward by two years, it is possible for you to call 80 million, but now it's a little bit worse, the highest offer we received here is 50 million, a movie. In terms of TV series, there are 80 million. Yang Ruyi's tone also seemed to be a little surprised: "Hey, your price is really not low, commercial films are generally 340 million, and literary films can also touch the edge of 10 million...... It's all money. ”

“...... Can you analyze it? Has the company thought about this reason?"

"It's still scarce, production companies, investors, they will have an internal evaluation of actors, it's very complicated, like you, maybe the more important point is that although you don't go on variety shows, and you don't act in any fan-attracting TV series, your popularity has always been very stable, and the big data analysis of your fan base is also very healthy, mostly concentrated in the female group from 18 to 35 to this group, and has a lot of spending power. And you also have a relatively high degree of recognition among the male group, which is relatively rare compared to other male top traffic.

And maybe because of the tour of "Thunderstorm", your offline influence is also considerable, in other words, the national degree is okay - you know that many celebrities who are very popular on the Internet may have no sense of existence in real life, especially in some groups.

In addition, the popularity of "God of Medicine" also gave you the title of a lucky general. Director Wen Yan's new film, the market is also looking forward to earning you two awards to impact the market. The rest, you know, in the past two years, the simple fan agent has gradually lost its color, if you want a high box office and a good reputation, you still have to have a good job in the work itself, and the actors themselves are strong - in this regard, the market's confidence in you is still relatively sufficient, after all, you are also a well-known top performer, probably you can't find the second one, in comparison, the popularity is similar to you, the strength can't be compared with you, the strength is stronger than you, and the popularity can't reach your knees.

You're more clever now.,Pure traffic idol.,It's not very popular now.,Pure strength.,The market never goes up.,You can be both.,So the price pressure of these two pieces has been avoided.,I estimate your current price.,Especially before you have a new work.,In the entire market.,It's also the top one.,Maybe it's a little worse than those big brothers.。 Of course, when you have a new work, it will depend on the feedback - the price is still a bit flat. ”

Well, if you don't pay attention, it's already so exaggerated, and the market is really still very gambling.

"Okay, I see. It's just that there is a price but no market, and if there is a market, the price will have to go down. ”

"Not necessarily, if you star in a few "God of Medicine", it is not impossible to maintain the price of Xu Zheng and Huang Bo at his peak - so, do you think "The Wandering Earth" has this appearance. ”

“...... I don't know. ”

Probably yes.

"Yes, Mr. Zhou asked you to talk, when is it convenient for you?"

Ji Ming picked his eyelids, Zhou Xiyan should have been busy recently: "Her old man can finally find time to care about me?"

Yang Ruyi also sighed, it is really feng shui in turn, Xitian was originally in the domestic brokerage company, and it can be regarded as a relatively novel path - several head actors, with a group of powerful factions that can produce stably, can not only pursue a relatively high single return, but also have better risk resistance and stable yield. As a result, who would have thought that several head actors in succession fell into a fatal turmoil, some of them were completely wasted, and some didn't know when they would be able to stand up, maybe it would be over completely.

In particular, the fall of Kazuko Kida - the company had already struggled to maintain his normal work. But who would have thought that under all kinds of internal circumstances, his own complaint completely buried this weak balance, resulting in no longer being exposed.

"The company now says that you are the first brother. ”

"Ugh. ”

"Speaking of which, your innocent resume may also be an important reason for your good market, after all, you don't have to worry about the end of the shooting, and suddenly you break out of some scandal, and the result is all smashed. ”

...... Is it okay like this?

However, in recent years, because of the drug team, the cheating team, and various drug teams, they have moved forward bravely and strived to the top, and they have indeed harmed many films and programs that have been filmed, so that there are now more fixed clauses in the contract terms, and if the work cannot be released due to personal reasons such as scandals and social events of the artist himself, he will bear the losses of other interested parties.

"How do they know that I have a clean resume, maybe it's because I have good acting skills. ”

"A star like you who is in love, an idol who is obsessed with the stage, an actor who has money but doesn't make money, and a top class who loves to masturbate, can make the entertainment version silent, the paparazzi are unemployed, and the nightclub bar is crying, what other innocent resume can there be?"

Ji Ming is really going to be silent.

"It turns out that I am so good, I really underestimate myself. ”

"Okay, don't be intoxicated, when can you come to the company?"

"Well, Director Guo asked me to have a meal with Mr. Wu Jin, why don't I go to the meeting first, and then report to Mr. Zhou?"

"That's fine. ”

Yang Ruyi is not surprised why Ji Ming wants to eat with Wu Jin, the relationship in the entertainment industry is pulled up like this, just like Ji Ming knows a Gu Rui, didn't he drag out Lei Datou and Guo cheekbones, and now he has pulled out the wandering earth, as well as Xu Zheng's circle, the circle of Chinese opera, and the circle of drama...... That's how the web of connections is weaved.

Ji Ming thought about it for a while, and said a little hesitantly: "Sister Yang, can you help me find out Mr. Zhou's tone, does our company have any willingness to invest in this film?"

"Huh?

"Hmm. ”

"......" Yang Ruyi thought for a while: "I estimate that the possibility is not very large, and the current situation of the company is unlikely to make an investment with this level of risk." But let me try it for you, is it the crew who has the will?"

"No, Brother Guangjie, and then if I act, it's normal for our company to participate more, just ask, there is no other meaning. ”

Even if there is a koi fish wish, Ji Ming is not 100% sure, and it is almost the same - after all, the risk is indeed high.

......

Alto, when Ji Ming entered the piano room, he was a little worried - since he went to participate in the campus drama festival, he came to Teacher Zou irregularly, he always took time and squeezed time. So although Mr. Zou didn't blame him, he was still a little scared every time he came over now......

"Ji Ming is here. ”

"Hey. Ji Ming hurriedly responded, but his eyes didn't look at the teacher who was sitting, and there was another lady who was standing, not too tall, who attracted his attention: "Ah, hello Teacher Wu." ”

"Hello, junior brother. ”

Wu Bixia!

This alto professor and doctoral supervisor has studied under Zou Wenqin, Jin Tielin, and Guo Shuzhen, and won the second place in the Tchaikovsky Vocal Competition, a top international competition.

"Hello, how are you visiting the teacher?"

"Oh, pay you back, let's not be so polite in the same door," Teacher Wu said with a smile, very amiable: "I'm just like you, I came to class." ”

Of course, she didn't come to class, but just discussed some teaching things with experienced teachers - Zou Wenqin has been in art for 50 years this year, and she has accumulated countless experiences all over the world for 50 years, and she has accumulated countless experiences.

"I just met it, and I'll listen to it too. ”

...... The pressure is high.

However, before they could finish speaking, Ji Ming was chatting with Zhao, who was playing the piano, on the side, and vaguely heard something like "50th anniversary" and "concert".

"50th anniversary?"

"Yes," Zhao nodded: "Teacher Zou is going to hold a concert for the 50th anniversary of her career, and Teacher Wu will discuss it with her." Heck, if only I could have participated. ”

Make a wish successfully.

Whether you can participate, I don't know, but I seem to be able to participate - despite hearing the prompt, Ji Ming still felt a little incredible.

"Why do you think of me like that?"

"It's nothing, maybe there's a chance. ”

"Impossible," Zhao was very frustrated: "With just a little time, how can it be my turn." ”

It's still possible......

Twenty minutes later, after the conversation was over, Wu Bixia really sat there, waiting to listen to Ji Ming practice singing, her two eyes purring from time to time, very smart.

Ji Ming has taken several classes, and the progress is still very rapid, there are generally three stages of national vocal music teaching, that is, the part that the teacher can teach, one is the professional foundation, one is the deepening of the major, and the other is the professional improvement, and in the end, he has cultivated the kind of performance we see on TV - T-shaped steps, head high, smiling face, bright eyes, and stable voice.

For Ji Ming, many external things are omitted, teaching is focused on vocal music and emotional expression, and in addition, his own foundation is quite good - so he is now in the stage of professional improvement.

Today's practice is an Italian song "Although You Are Ruthless", a very orthodox teaching repertoire.

As soon as Ji Ming spoke, Wu Bixia silently Wowed.

This Italian memo is fantastic - there are few domestic singers who sing operas and bel canto, but there are not many who can't speak Italian, but they can really sing authentically, so that Italians don't play - after all, if you don't work in that language environment, no matter how hard you work, it may not be good. Ji Ming's foreign language is not particularly prominent, and no one has made a wish to score 700 points in the fourth or sixth level, and it is estimated that even if he makes a wish, he will not succeed because it is unrealistic, but whether it is an English musical or an Italian opera, it may be because of the immersion experience of the koi trial, which leads him to practice singing as an Italian or an Englishman, of course, the pronunciation is also absolutely standard and authentic.

This is very rare in China, no wonder a well-informed master like Wu Bixia has to exclaim.

"Although You Are Ruthless" is a song with the theme of broken love, also called "The Inner Monologue of Licking the Dog", the lyrics are very simple, probably the cycle of "You are so cruel to me, and I am still loyal to you, love you, love you, love you, love you forever" - can be called the Italian Qiong Yao. But because the song is particularly suitable for learning, the use of major and minor keys is flexible and positive, and the mood is amorous and firm - it is a very good licking dog, so it is widely used in various vocal music teaching, and it is not the first time that Ji Ming has practiced singing this song.

After singing it once, after Zou Wenqin raised it, he knew that the resonance of the head cavity was not in place, and the vocal position was not high enough.

"The laryngeal control is a little loose, a tube, from the abdominal cavity to the head cavity, the top of the head, that sense of fluency and stability, there is a loss, the position must be high, otherwise the sound comes out, it is suffocated. Come, hum a short paragraph, just the first paragraph," Mr. Zou said to the piano, and then stood up and faced Ji Ming: "Larynx, yes, go up, pinch it above, can't loosen it, can't move, go up and come out very firmly, hum~~~~hum~~~~~Ah~~~~ Yes, come again...... Come again......"

"The emotional processing is still very good, the emotional grasp of this song is more difficult, there are changes and ups and downs in the plain, you are a little better this time than the last time. ”

"The third part, the lyrics and songs are the same, but there must be a difference when sung, and this difference is the difference between emotions, the same thing, how to express the level, is the expression of emotions. One more complete one. ”

“......”

Time whizzes by...... Until the end of the teaching of this piece.

Teacher Zou took a sip of water, nodded, and looked at Wu Bixia: "What do you think?"

"Do you want Ji Ming to come to my graduate school? It's not bad to study for a master's degree in vocal music, and then study for a doctorate, and then stay in school, so I snatched people from Chinese opera. ”

This is very promising.

"People have tens of thousands of yuan a minute, how can they have time to study for a master's degree, talk about it, evaluate it, it's best to ask some questions. Teacher Zou pointed to this childlike apprentice.

Wu Bixia put away her trademark smile and thought for a while: "If the problem is to say, there is still less singing, not only practice, but also fewer opportunities for singing and performing - maybe you are an actor, so there are fewer opportunities to sing, a little jerky, not easy enough, including the control of the larynx and the control of the breath just mentioned, there are reasons for this." But your pronunciation is really amazing, you probably haven't lived in Italy, have you?"

Ji Ming shook his head.

"I can learn this degree in China to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and when I hear it with one ear, I can't tell that it is sung by domestic singers, which is very remarkable. Another is full of spirituality, learning vocal music still requires a little emotional intelligence, what the teacher said can be understood for the first time, what is a pipe through, what is the resonance of the head cavity, what is the use of breath, this is also a talent. There is also what the teacher said, the grasp of this emotion and emotion, you may be a very good actor, you have an advantage over ordinary people in the vocal field, that level, that kind of emotion-" Wu Bixia made a body movement that surged outward: "It's this, like ocean waves, surging over layer by layer, that kind of momentum, that kind of ubiquitous change, it should be said that it is the rarest, you really have the talent to become an excellent opera singer." ”

is an opera singer, not a national singing singer - as the first master in China to integrate national singing and Western opera, Wu Bixia's evaluation is still very reliable. The emotional expression of the domestic folk singing method is very majestic, but it is also very single, it must be the kind of passionate, compassionate, sonorous and powerful, and even the expression of some folk folk songs, in recent years, there is also this trend, so this art form is not Ji Ming's strength.

On the contrary, operas with a certain plot can give him more room to play.

"He sings musicals. Teacher Zou also smiled, obviously she also agreed with Wu Bixia's evaluation.

"Oh, that's right, he's an actor after all. Wu Bixia nodded, and suddenly thought: "Hey, teacher, isn't there a chance to rap right away?"

"Hehe, he doesn't necessarily have time, right?" Teacher Zou looked at Ji Ming, a little inquiring.

Ji Ming was too flattered, no matter whether Wu Bixia said that he was a senior sister and brother, or that he was a closed disciple of Teacher Zou, but in fact, he was a one-on-one cram school student, strictly speaking, he was not a regular disciple, and even the class time was limited - but if he really appeared on stage at the 50th anniversary concert of his career, then he would be an apprentice, and he would have to be a proud disciple, not surprisingly, among all the performers, he also had to be the latest student, and he could really be called a closed disciple.

Whether it is artistically or from the vocal world, it is a great affirmation.

"Of course I'm willing, I'm afraid I'll embarrass you. ”

"You underestimate the teacher too much, if you would be embarrassed, she must have not heard my advice just now. ”

“......”

Teacher Zou glared at her: "Then it's settled, you see which song to sing, practice more, don't collapse the stage, you have been teaching for fifty years, right?"

"A dream come true! Wish Mission: Singing songs at the 'Zou Wenqin 50th Anniversary Student Concert' to reach the primary level of specialization. ”

Specialization - such an exaggeration.

Ji Ming nodded solemnly, feeling a little pressured in his heart.

"Come on, let's add a WeChat," Wu Bixia added Ji Ming's WeChat, and then pulled him into a group, called "50th Anniversary", which included more than a dozen Lei Jia, Han Hong, and Wu Jing...... made Ji Ming quite suffocated, they are all characters often seen in the Spring Festival Gala.

Newcomers joined, startling a shoal of "gulls and herons".

"Ji Ming, is that Ji Ming?"

"Hello teachers. Ji Ming hurriedly reported home.

"Hey, this is the little junior brother recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors. ”

"Is Ji Ming going to perform at a concert?"

"Ah," Wu Bixia replied to Lei Jia: "Yes, the teacher asked him to choose a song, do you have any suggestions?"

"This time we all have to sing our own style, he is the same as Wu Jing, singing an opera?"

"Huh," Wu Bixia looked up at Ji Ming: "Why don't you choose a musical? What "Phantom of the Opera", "Cat" or something like that, "Memory" is in "Cat", isn't it? ”

"Yes. ”

"Okay, then you go back and choose a paragraph by yourself, talk about it in the group, and when you rehearse, the band should prepare in advance. Wu Bixia nodded: "But you have to prepare time, you have to rehearse." ”

Ji Ming nodded: "Okay." ”

As soon as I said it in the group, everyone agreed with it - behind the scenes, those few people all muttered, it was really old and young, and no number of students could be ranked, Ji Ming was hand-picked. The commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the art is basically the most important one in the life, because the Chinese people are every 5 and 10 days is a big day, and it is basically impossible to do it for a hundred years of art, who can live so long - so 50 years is the biggest day they can experience when they are alive.

Teacher Zou is willing to let Ji Ming take the stage, which is indeed an honor - the old man may not have any ideas in his heart, he wants to say that he is not old, and it takes time and opportunity for a singer to grow, among her students in recent years, there may not be anyone who is better than Ji Ming, Ji Ming is indeed competitive, and there is absolutely no more famous than Ji Ming.

Serendipity.

Wu Bixia sent Teacher Zou home, and Zhao, who helped with the piano accompaniment, sent Ji Ming out of school by the way - with a look of envy, the two of them are actually quite familiar, every time he accompanies Ji Ming, and the two have also exchanged piano.

"I didn't expect Mr. Wu to help me say this. ”

"That's why you sing well," Zhao was quite sincere: "It's really good singing, sometimes some students who have graduated for many years, when they come back to ask Teacher Zou, they don't necessarily sing as good as you, you feel very right, it sounds very comfortable and enjoyable, I think it's more important than any skill." ”

"Oh, the realm is not low. ”

was glanced at whitely, and classmate Zhao looked at the blue sky with a yearning expression: "I'm really envious, tell me from the heart, don't laugh at me." When I knew that Mr. Zou was going to hold a 50th anniversary concert, I dreamed of participating in it, and then at the concert, wow, it was a blockbuster, and it made people fall through their glasses, and then I walked to the peak of my life. ”

Speaking of this, classmate Zhao looked at Ji Ming: "Look at it now, this script is going to be yours." ”

“...... Hahaha. ”

"Laugh P, come back to the alto, be careful of being put in a sack, you are an outsider, do you know if you are hated?"

"I still have more experience in this area, and I just have this problem: too good. ”

"Get out. Zhao pointed to the school gate not far away.

...... Okay, just let you take advantage of this, Ji Ming can't help but go out.
