Chapter 118: Gong Xue
At the rehearsal the next morning, Guo Yang went quite late. He played in the second half of the game, so there was no need to go too early. As soon as he walked out of the door of the hotel, Gu Chao greeted him with a flattering smile: "Guo Dong, I will take you to the rehearsal site with a car...... In fact, with your status, you don't have to participate in the rehearsal, and I have already said hello to the director team. β
Gu Chao's demeanor was respectful, sweeping away yesterday's arrogance and arrogance. And from his flattering posture, there is no trace of negative emotions caused by last night's banquet.
Guo Yang smiled indifferently: "What is my identity? I came to Shencheng to participate, but I am just an ordinary actor, I should rehearse the rehearsal, what is so special? You don't have to pick me up, it's not far from the hotel to the stadium, I'll take a walk along the way and see the scenery." β
Guo Yang glanced at Gu Chao, didn't give him face, and walked straight away.
The Shencheng Stadium, where the performance took place, was not far from the hotel where he stayed, about a kilometer or so. Guo Yang walked with a graceful figure. Gu Chao took a deep breath, forcibly concealed the shame in his eyes, stomped his feet fiercely, turned his head into the black Mercedes-Benz, and angrily ordered the driver to drive to the stadium.
The party was not long, two and a half hours, starting at 7 p.m. and ending around 9:30 p.m., and it is said that all 20,000 tickets have been sold. At least half of the male and female singers participating in the performance are third-line, 80% of them are under Dingwen, and the two male and female first-line singers Xiang Xiaodong and Gong Xue who really have market appeal, and of course, the female singer Hua Meiyan from country H.
Guo Yang came to the periphery of the stadium, and a huge poster of the above three singers was erected at the entrance, Xiang Xiaodong was in the center, Gong Xue and Hua Meiyan were on the left and right. Many boys and girls, who are obviously star-chasers, have begun to gather and try to enter the stadium to watch the rehearsal, but are blocked by security guards and local police officers.
Han Ying waited anxiously at the door, he was about to go to Guo Yang's rehearsal, but he still didn't come, thinking of the director's complaint, Han Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly. It would be fine if Guo Yang was an ordinary singer, but he was one of the bosses of the company, and it seemed that he was not very interested in commercial performances, so she didn't dare to urge him.
Seeing Guo Yang coming over slowly, Han Ying was relieved, ran over and gasped for breath and said, "Guo Dong, you are here, I am waiting for you." β
Guo Yang sighed and followed Han Ying in.
On the large stage built in the center of the stadium, the director team, the producer and the corresponding staff were in place, and many participating singers were gathered under the stage. These singers of different fame gathered together in groups to discuss, Xiang Xiaodong stood there in a snow-white performance costume and stood out from the crowd, and there was also a charming tall woman standing beside him, wearing a fuchsia long skirt and heavy makeup, Guo Yang recognized that this was the female singer Gong Xue in the sky.
Xiang Xiaodong was communicating with Gong Xue with his head down, and out of the corner of his eye, he found Guo Yang coming in, and wanted to go over to say hello, but suddenly felt that he had dropped the shelf, so he stopped and whispered a few words in Gong Xue's ear.
Gong Xue suddenly looked up at Guo Yang, who was walking slowly to the stage with a calm footstep and a calm expression, and her eyes stayed on Guo Yang for a moment before moving away. Recently, an original singer named Guo Yang appeared, several songs are so popular, Gong Xue is a person at the top of the pyramid in this circle, naturally I have heard of Guo Yang's name, out of curiosity, I can't help but look at it twice.
It's just that in view of Gong Xue's status in this industry, she is only slightly interested in Guo Yang.
Most of the singers looked at Guo Yang, and many frowned.
Guo Yang came late, so they had a little complaint in their hearts when they waited. Coupled with this kind of formal large-scale performance, Guo Yang does not change his costume, does not do hairstyle, and does not make up makeup, just wearing a white casual shirt and dark blue jeans to appear casually, which is really a bit sloppy.
Gong Xueliu's eyebrows jumped, and she turned her head sideways to Xiang Xiaodong and said: "This newcomer under your company is not small, he came later than the two of us, and he is so casual...... Looks like you have a strong personality, right?"
Xiang Xiaodong thought for a while and said with a smile: "I actually don't know anything about him, but, according to the people in the company, he basically doesn't agree to participate in the company's commercial performances, writing and singing is purely a hobby, and strictly speaking, he is not a person in our circle - by the way, his current stage name is Ai Bing......"
Xiang Xiaodong did not disclose Guo Yang's identity as the second largest shareholder of Dingwen Media, because he felt that there was no need to say that since Guo Yang was unwilling to be exposed, why should he meddle with things?
"Ai Bing?" Gong Xue sighed: "There is such a newcomer?" However, his songs are really good, touching people's hearts, and it is not surprising that they will sell well in the market. This guy is quite talented. β
Perhaps it was Xiang Xiaodong's words that really aroused Gong Xue's curiosity about Guo Yang, and Gong Xue refocused her eyes on Guo Yang, who was standing on the stage and preparing to enter the rehearsal state. At this time, Guo Yang wore a white baseball cap on his head, the brim of the hat was pressed very low, and he also wore a pair of wide-brimmed sunglasses on his face, so that unless it was face-to-face, acquaintances would not recognize Guo Yanglai.
This performance arranged three songs by Guo Yang, in fact, there were originally two, and later a new song "Love Iceman" was added. And Xiang Xiaodong, Gong Xue and Hua Meiyan are only three songs each, and this arrangement actually makes other singers complain in their hearts.
Even the director team couldn't figure it out. But the above clearly explained that no one could resist it, so it could only be rehearsed like this.
When the music sounded, Guo Yang's slightly hoarse and magnetic baritone filled the audience, and the poignant melody of "There Is a Love Called Letting Go" echoed over the stadium, and the singers and staff present couldn't help but be moved.
A trace of appreciation flashed in Gong Xue's eyes, and as soon as Guo Yang spoke, she did not pay attention to Guo Yang's singing skills and singing voice, but heard his full of emotions and spiritual resonance. This is a young man with a very good story-Gong Xue said in her heart, and her gaze on Guo Yang became clearer and deeper again.
It's just that Gong Xue is really a little curious in her heart: Why didn't Guo Yang take advantage of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become famous with his song becoming popular, but he had to be willing to hide behind the scenes and not come out? Originally, this commercial performance had a high exposure rate, CCTV had to record and broadcast, and the Southern Provincial TV station had to broadcast it live, but this kid was so good-he hid himself impenetrable, like a thief, where did the so-called come from?
Dingwen's singer Night Wolf stood on the side of the stage waiting to appear, and his mood was even more complicated. Received the company's authorization and notice, Guo Yang's new song "Love Iceman" will be sung by him in the future, and today's performance will also be sung by him and Guo Yang.
After Guo Yang's "There Is a Love Called Letting Go" and "Nanshan Nan" were sung together, and the extremely unique melody of "Love Iceman" was together, Night Wolf took a deep breath and strode into the field under the command of the on-site director's gestures.
Obviously, the song is still in the style of urban folk songs, and the melody is more mellow and smooth after being polished by the famous composer and arranger Futagi.
Guo Yang played the guitar and bowed slightly to the night wolf.
Night Wolf smiled gratefully, grabbed the microphone and said aloud: "Next, Mr. Ai Bing and I will sing a new song "Love Iceman" recently written by Mr. Ai Bingββ"
Night Wolf started singing, his voice is completely different from Guo Yang, the breeze is bright and the moon is clear, the words are very recognizable, showing solid singing skills and corresponding skills, Guo Yang played the electric guitar on the side and sang, and couldn't help nodding secretly, the artistic conception of this song and the voice conditions of the night wolf complement each other, as long as it is promoted well, it is easy to become popular.
Without you
Wouldn't my world be too desolate without you
Without you
Without you, my soul wouldn't be too lost
In order not to destroy the overall beauty and style of Night Wolf singing this song, at the suggestion of the director team, Guo Yang only sang these four sentences, which is like a touch of empty and deep waves in the beautiful picture of the bright moon passing over the hill and the breeze blowing on the river, which is perfectly connected and very comfortable to listen to.
"Okay!" Gong Xue was the first to take the lead in applauding, and the other singers and staff also applauded enthusiastically, this song is indeed more suitable for the chorus of Night Wolf and Guo Yang than solo, and it is easier to reach the depths of the audience's heart.
The rehearsal ends.
Guo Yang got off the stage and hurriedly prepared to leave, he didn't want to have any contact and communication with other singers. A delicate girl in a purple dress walked over and blocked his way, and the girl smiled: "Hello Mr. Guo, my name is Gong Xue!"
Gong Xue took the initiative to stretch out her snow-white slender little hand.
The five fingers of these hands are slender and crystal clear, as if they have been carefully carved to perfection.
Guo Yang took off his wide-rimmed sunglasses, smiled, and also stretched out his hand to shake Gong Xue: "Hello." β
Gong Xue smiled and pointed to the empty space on the side: "Can we talk?"
Guo Yang hesitated for a moment, but still took the initiative to walk over.
"I have listened to several of Mr. Guo's songs, and I like them all, I want to ......" Gong Xue's beautiful eyes flashed: "I wonder if I can ask Mr. Guo to write a few songs specifically for me?"
Guo Yang smiled: "I'm sorry, Miss Gong, I have a contract with Dingwen Media, and the copyrights of the songs I wrote belong to the company, so I'm sorry!"
Gong Xue sighed, a little disappointed: "Actually, I can pay Mr. Guo a high price...... And I really haven't heard of a single original creator who would hand over all the subsequent creative copyrights to a single company......"
Guo Yang shrugged his shoulders: "Actually, it's not a matter of price, but my relationship with Dingwen Media...... It's a bit complicated, and I can't explain this for a while, so I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I still have some things, so I'll go first!"
After Guo Yang finished speaking, he turned around and left, Gong Xue, who had bright eyes and bright teeth, was stunned, and couldn't help but blush slightly, a little embarrassed.
Her status in the circle is here, and she is a well-known beauty, and there are countless people around her who usually chase her, even those wealthy children in the capital racked their brains in order to make her laugh, but she lowered her body and took the initiative to talk about cooperation with a newcomer like Guo Yang, but Guo Yang didn't give face at all.
