Chapter 734 is to break the sound
Xiao Yao was pushed back to the stage by Zhao Rui and continued the rehearsal of the graduation play.
Although Sun Tingting, who was sitting in the audience, still looked at Xiao Yao who was rehearsing on the stage, she was dizzy and couldn't see what Xiao Yao had rehearsed at all. It wasn't until Xiao Yao's rehearsal was over and everyone left the theater that Sun Tingting came back to her senses.
Xiao Yao's rehearsal was in the morning, and after the rehearsal came out, it was almost noon, and a group of people went out to find a restaurant to have lunch together.
Towards the end of lunch, everyone discussed the afternoon itinerary at the dinner table.
"Your TV drama crew is working today, right? I want to go to your set to see it!" Zhao Rui proposed.
"What are you doing, going to spy on the military?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.
"Spying on the military intelligence of a fart!" Zhao Rui glanced at Xiao Yao, "It's all our company's project, and I also have a share of the investment, so what's wrong with it? Besides, one of our movies, one TV series, one is released in theaters, and the other is broadcast on TV stations and websites, it's not the same at all, right? Do you also listen to those gossip media and think that these are two schools fighting in the ring?"
"It's not a bad thing to compare!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Although the form is different, it can't be compared to the box office or ratings, but we can compare word-of-mouth and website ratings! How about making a bet?"
"No!" Zhao Rui shook his head firmly, "We have a movie and you have a sitcom score, and we don't feel glorious if we win!"
"Yo~ look down on sitcoms?" Xiao Yao said.
"The main thing is that our movies are adapted from your static movies," Zhu Zitong said, "Even if our movies have a high rating, it doesn't prove that the stone has won you!"
"Uh~ Okay!" Xiao Yao waved his hand, skipped the topic and said to Lin Qisan, "You take them there, I have to rehearse in the afternoon, I won't go!"
"I didn't expect you to be!" Lin Qisan said with a smile.
"What? Do you still have to rehearse in the afternoon?" Zhao Rui said, "Aren't the theaters used separately? You go to the classroom to rehearse? It's all this time, do you want to rehearse for so long?"
"It's not a graduation play, it's a rehearsal with a band. Xiao Yao said, "After the graduation drama, there is a graduation ceremony, and I have to perform on stage!"
"Oh~" Zhao Rui suddenly smiled, "My own school, I don't have to refuse, right?" It seems that we not only have to watch the graduation drama, but also have to go to your graduation ceremony to watch the ceremony!"
Art school students are versatile, and it's common for students to perform on stage at graduation ceremonies to show off their talents. As the most talented star student recognized by Shen Opera, Xiao Yao will of course be selected by the school to perform at the graduation ceremony. At Yandian's graduation ceremony last year, Zhao Rui once wanted Xiao Yao to perform at the graduation ceremony, but Xiao Yao refused on the grounds that he was not a student of Yandian. This time it was Shen Xi's own graduation ceremony, and it took much less time to prepare a performance than to rehearse the graduation play, and Xiao Yao did not refuse.
"Then let's go see Bayi's band rehearsal in the afternoon!" Zhu Zitong said, "Let's go see what program he is going to perform at the graduation ceremony first, and then go to the crew." ”
"Can you see it?" Zhu Zitong looked at Xiao Yaodao.
"Of course you can!" Xiao Yao shrugged indifferently.
Although Xiao Yao is preparing a new song, he is not afraid to show it to his partners in advance.
Negotiate and set. After lunch, everyone set off to Xiao Yao's rehearsal room.
Xiao Yao's rehearsal place is in the school, and the place where the performance program is rehearsed is not in the school.
The recording studio in Yin Xi's studio is in charge of Xiao Yao, and there is a practice room with quite good sound insulation in the recording studio, and the place where the band rehearses is naturally placed in the recording studio of Yin Xi's studio.
The song Xiao Yao wants to perform is a rock song, and he is ready to perform in a band at the scene. After living in Shencheng for so long and recording so many songs in this studio, Xiao Yao has also met many professional musicians here. However, since he was performing at the school's graduation ceremony, Xiao Yao did not look for professional musicians he had worked with before, but found a few musicians from the school's students. As one of the three major film and television schools in China, it is still easy to find a few students who can play musical instruments.
The time for the band's rehearsal was predetermined. When Xiao Yao and his party arrived at Yin Xi's studio, several other musicians had not yet arrived, so everyone played in Yin Xi's studio for a while and visited.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, several student musicians Xiao Yao was looking for arrived one after another.
In addition to Xiao Yao as the lead singer and guitarist, there is also a guitarist, a bass player, a keyboardist and a drummer. These four people are all seniors in Shenju, although they are not all from the acting department, but they should all be in the same circle in the future. Xiao Yao introduced the two groups of people, and after a brief acquaintance and greetings, the band began to rehearse.
Because Zhao Rui, Zhu Zitong and others watched the rehearsal just to hear what the song Xiao Yao was going to perform looked like, so after a simple warm-up, everyone first performed the song to be performed completely.
"How does it feel?" Xiao Yao asked a few friends who were watching after taking the four musicians to perform the song in its entirety.
"Cow!" Zhu Zitong praised, "I have goosebumps when I hear it." If this song is sung at the graduation ceremony, it will definitely make the graduates below go crazy!"
"By the way, it's a new song you wrote yourself, right?" Zhu Zitong continued, "It is worthy of being the youngest best creator of the "Golden Disc Award"!"
It's a new song that none of them have ever heard. Although Xiao Yao did not explain it before, those who are familiar with Xiao Yao know that this song must be Xiao Yao's work.
These four musicians were recommended to Xiao Yao by teachers in the school. They were able to be recommended to Xiao Yao by their teachers because they had each performed at various school activities. At least among the amateur musicians, they are quite good in terms of technical level and performance experience.
These four people are from different majors, and they are not a band combination, and after being summoned by Xiao Yao, the biggest problem is the tacit understanding of cooperation. It is not only the cooperation between them and Xiao Yao, but also the cooperation between each other. However, Xiao Yao didn't just practice with these four today. Half a month ago, Xiao Yao decided on the song to perform, and this temporary band was assembled, so they rehearsed this song together for almost half a month. In terms of cooperation, the run-in of the five people is almost the same.
There is no problem with the technical level, and there is no problem with the coordination, so the effect of this complete performance is of course quite good. But even then, it's not like no one finds fault.
"The song is very good, and the instrument performance is also great, but the singing is just ~" Zhao Rui, who also played musical instruments for a long time when he was a child and had a very good sense of musicality, complained about Xiao Yao and said, "You, the lead singer who won the best male singer, why did you still sing broken notes when you sang?"
"What do you know? I did this on purpose!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"Deliberately singing? Is it to prove that you are not lip-syncing?" Zhao Rui said speechlessly, "Do you still want to be shameless? This is a rehearsal room, you are singing live, and it is not a recorded TV program like "I want to sing with you"!"
When Xiao Yao participated in the opening scene of "I Want to Sing with You", he made a mistake in the chorus with Hong Wei and then quibbled, but it was a big highlight of the show, of course the program team would not re-record it, and it was completely released in the feature film. Xiao Yao's explanation at that time has become a very popular meme on the Internet, and many people know it.
"You don't know this!" the musician who was carrying the bass interjected to help Xiao Yao explain to Zhao Rui and the others, "Every time Xiao Yao sings to that place, he sings broken sounds! ”
"What?" Zhao Rui and the others looked at the bass hand in disbelief.
"We also asked Xiao Yao at the beginning. The bassist smiled and continued, "He said that in that place of this song, it has to be sung to be good, and that place has to be sung to be broken to fit the mood of the whole song and the feelings to be expressed." We didn't believe it at first, but then we tried it and found out that it was still like that!"
"Don't believe it?" Xiao Yao looked at Zhao Rui and the others, "Then I'll sing it to you again, this time it won't be broken!"
"Here you come!" Zhao Rui said.
Xiao Yao smiled and looked back, and the keyboardist nodded, pressed the keys, and played the prelude to the song again.
The band performed the song again. Xiao Yao really didn't sing the broken sound again in this time. After Zhao Rui and the others heard it, they really felt that they seemed to be missing some taste.
"Believe it?" Xiao Yao smiled and looked at the silent Zhao Ruidao.
"Believe it!" Zhao Rui thought for a while, and finally nodded, "You are really a monster, you can still write this kind of song that must be sung with broken sounds." ”
"What is this?" Xiao Yao shrugged and smiled, "In rock songs, many of them are like this, and you have to shout them out with a broken tone to feel it, but the few rock songs I wrote before are not like this, rare and weird!"
"You~" Zhao Rui glared at Xiao Yao and asked again, "By the way, what's the name of this song!"
Xiao Yao sang it directly, and did not introduce the name of the song.
"This song is called...", next to the keyboard jarate.
"I won't tell you," Xiao Yao said, "Didn't you say you were coming to our graduation ceremony? We'll introduce the title of the song when we perform at the graduation ceremony!"
As soon as Xiao Yao said this, the keyboardist immediately laughed and shut up.
"Cut~ rare!" Zhao Rui rolled his eyes, turned to Sun Tingting and said, "Duo'er, you must know, don't you?"
Sun Tingting came to Shencheng very early, and she played music, Zhao Rui didn't believe that Sun Tingting hadn't come to see Xiao Yao's rehearsal, maybe she was next to Xiao Yao when she wrote this song.
"I know!" Sun Tingting nodded.
"Cut, don't you tell me that I don't know?" Zhao Rui turned Xiao Yao and asked Sun Tingting, "What's the name of that song?"
"Just go to the graduation ceremony of Shenxi!" Sun Tingting said with a smile.
"You~" Zhao Rui glared.
"Huh~" Everyone else laughed.
"Hey~ I'm not going to go yet! You didn't go to my graduation anyway. Zhao Rui said, "It's a big deal, I'll wait for this song to be officially released! With such a song, it's impossible for you not to send it out!"
"I...," Xiao Yao said.
"If you have the ability, say that you don't release it!" Zhao Rui said, "It depends on whether your classmates and fans are willing!"
"You won!" Xiao Yao said with a smile and shook his head. With such a song, it is really impossible for him to hide it and not release it.
Everyone laughed for a while, and Zhao Rui and the others left first.
Everyone came to listen to Xiao Yao's performance songs, and now that they have heard it, the purpose has been achieved, and there is no need to stay here all the time to watch them rehearse. Xiao Yao wanted to stay and rehearse with the musicians, so Lin Qisan took Zhao Rui and others to the TV drama crew.
"Urban Youth" is operated according to the model of American dramas. However, if the form of American dramas wants to be copied to Huaxia, it is still difficult to do so, and there is a certain compromise in the specific operation methods.
In Huaxia, before the crew starts filming, the script must be sent to radio and television for review. When it was submitted for review before, the crew sent all the scripts of more than 20 episodes to radio and television for review. This is an urban sitcom, there is no illegal content, and it passed the review smoothly, but there is no problem in this regard.
In terms of filming and broadcasting, Xiao Yao's original idea was to shoot two or three episodes as pilot episodes for TV stations and video websites, and then shoot the later episodes according to the audience's reactions after the broadcast. can buy the episodes before the TV station, and they all buy the whole film after all the filming and editing, and they have to spend money to buy only two or three episodes, and they have never bought the episodes that are scheduled to be broadcast, so they didn't agree.
Of course, they also know about this form of filming and broadcasting American dramas, and they are not completely without the idea of trying. In some previous episodes and TV stations' self-produced life dramas, there have been cases where the ending of the plot has been decided based on the audience's reaction, but that is only one or two episodes at the end. In order to reduce the risk, they adopted a compromise plan, requiring at least about half of the filming, determining the basic quality of the entire series, and then deciding whether to buy it or not. Since several TV stations have this kind of request, the producer can only agree.
The TV station didn't dare to make up its mind to buy it casually, in addition to the fact that the series was not finished, there was also a big reason because there were no big stars among the actors of this series, and they were worried about the ratings after the broadcast of this series. In order to make the TV station's buying department make up its mind to buy with half of the episodes filmed before, the producer began to make some targeted changes and began to add weighty popular stars to the series.
The main cast is full of fresh graduates of the Shenju Performance Department, all newcomers, and there are no big stars, which was decided at the beginning of this project, and it is also a major feature of this series, and it has been filmed several episodes before, so this will definitely not change. However, there are no stars in the main cast, and celebrities can also be found to make cameos and passers-by roles, which is also a common practice in many episodes.
Characters such as dragon routines and passers-by almost only appear once in a certain episode, and the celebrity cameo disappears after one appearance, which has no impact on the overall plot of the series. For the stars who come to make cameos, it is just one or two scenes, showing their faces, it can be done in almost a day, and it doesn't take too much time for those stars, and it is relatively easy to please.
Although Xiao Yao and Lin Qisan are still young, their connections in the entertainment industry are very good. Xiao Yao is an actor, singer, and photographer, spanning the three circles of music, film and television, and fashion, while Lin Qisan is an actor and model, spanning the two circles of film and television and fashion. There are quite a few celebrities they know and have a good relationship with, and they add up to more. If they really want to invite celebrities to make cameos, every episode of the stars they can invite can be scheduled for the next season.
If there is a celebrity in an episode, it is also a major feature of the series. So from the next few episodes, Lin Qisan began to invite celebrities from all walks of life to make cameos in the series in the name of him and Xiao Yao.
When Zhao Rui and the others went to the crew today, the crew was filming the tenth episode. In this episode, Lin Qisan invited Cheng Xi to play the role of a bar customer in the name of Xiao Yao, and Cheng Xi's role has been filmed. But since Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong were automatically sent to the door, Lin Qisan would not let it go easily.
After taking Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong to look at the crew and introduce the situation in the crew, Lin Qisan immediately summoned the director and screenwriter of this episode, revised the script, and added two roles to Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong, so that the two also made cameo roles in this episode as a couple.
