Chapter 1304: Voice of the Character
Then return to the drama stage of Tiangongmen.
In addition to the performances, the soundtrack track is also a plus.
Good music can bring the audience into the atmosphere of the story and be engaging. Sometimes the reason why a plot is tear-jerking is not unrelated to the right amount of music.
It is not mandatory to add songs to the play, but according to the rules, the participants can only sing live on stage, and the existing CD soundtrack cannot be used directly.
This point is indeed difficult for a large number of "incomplete tones" groups, but for Feng Boliang's group, it is like a fish in water.
Now, Rong Xiao is holding the microphone in one hand and is singing a love song with deep affection.
"The endless alley,
It turned out to be that long.
The playground that can't run endlessly,
It turns out that Xiaocheng is like this.
The hand of time, what has been overturned,
From my hands, what was taken away.
Close your eyes and look at the sixteen-year-old sunset,
Beautiful as we are.
Singing while walking, innocent, romantic and brave,
I thought I could go far away,
We were in love with each other, and it hurts to think about it. ”
The rest of the crew sat around, listening to him in fascination.
They all know that after Rong Xiao's official debut, he has always been a powerful rookie singer, and his new records have dominated the screen sales list every time. But such as Yan Yueque, Feng Qiwu and others, they usually only focus on cultivation and almost don't listen to songs, this is the first time they have heard the "live version" that is hard to find outside.
It was also this time that they felt the charm of the song for the first time.
"Take your hand and walk slowly through the crowd,
In our hands is the whole universe,
Close your eyes and look at the last sunset,
It's as beautiful as a pity.
Glory and sorrow, youth and chaos,
We are scribbled apart,
I love it, but I don't know what to do,
Let love be strong and unbreakable.
Why is life not allowed to wait for people to grow,
You can correct the past,
It makes me sad that I had you. ”
The song is called "Heartache", which expresses "recalling the simple and sweet first love of the campus era". At that time, we liked how simple and direct it was to be alone, but the reality still separated two simple lovers. This coincides with the theme of the script, and after Rong Xiao's singing, it makes this missed love even more tear-jerking.
"It's good, it's good!" Feng Yunxi, who just came to see the excitement, applauded again and again, "It's really good, I feel like I'm going to be a fan of you!"
"Both of them are professional, so we don't have a lot of trouble. Yan Yueque also smiled with a smile in her eyes, "I heard that some groups are urgently cramming in order to practice singing." But at least in terms of songs, we're winning. ”
"So boss, when are you going to release a new album?" Su Shi'an browsed the jade **** and said that the last album after you announced your 'temporary withdrawal from the circle', and now it is about to sell like crazy, and the sales are all over, what kind of jade diva Ah Yan. She's been competing with you for the top spot before. ”
"I think it's going to be a while. Rong Xiao played with the microphone and sat down on the prop box, "Recently, I've also been trying to write a song by myself, and if it goes well, I will use this song as a gift for fans after my comeback." ”
As he said this, everyone else suddenly turned their eyes in unison, as if they had seen an illiterate person suddenly become a senior lecturer.
Rong Xiao's level of cultural class is completely inversely proportional to his cultivation talent. I'm afraid that until now, if he is asked to do the examination papers of the first grade of the elementary department, he may not be able to do it. It is precisely for this reason that when other singers are popular to use "original songs" as a gimmick, he has never jumped on this trend.
Now, he even said that he wanted to write his own songs? It's not that they look down on him...... The song that was written shouldn't be a typo throughout, right?
"I'm still working on this song. Rong Xiao only responded briefly, "When it is written, I will definitely share it with everyone." ”
Well...... Everyone frowned silently, although his singing skills were definitely fine, but the lyrics he wrote were ...... It's still very problematic!
……
Shen Antong group.
"Let me ask again, is there really no one here who is good at singing?" Zhen Ke crossed his hands on his hips and gasped with anger, "Look at the next door, how good people sing it!
"Hey, it's over. Shen Antong sighed and waved his hand, "The people next door are all professional singers, and we are not even a group of amateurs! ”
"People are mixed in the entertainment industry, aren't you too?" Ren Jianfei pointed out, "Why can't you sing?"
"I ......" Shen Antong jumped to his feet in anger, "Who said I can't sing! I just can't sing well! Besides, I'm ...... Do you know that my major is acting, so I sing...... It's a little bit lacking! What's this, which of you is a decathlon?"
"In our place, it's probably better for Lime to sing. Jian Zhiheng smiled and looked at his friends beside him, "In the past in Tiansheng's Campus Song Grand Prix, he also won the second place, second only to Brother Xiao." I think we might as well let him teach us how to sing?"
“…… I don't know how to teach it. Guan Lin, who was suddenly dragged in, said that he was very innocent, "I just usually listen to pop songs, and I will naturally sing them after listening to them a few more times, that's all." ”
Shen Antong sighed heavily, supported his chin with both hands, and deliberately laughed to everyone: "You see, he exudes a breath from head to toe: 'I was born to sing, and I despise you scum with incomplete tones'." Alas, we don't understand the realm of the king of songs. ”
"I didn't say that. Guan Lin corrected seriously, but for a moment, he maintained a "serious face" and added again: "But I do think so." ”
The audience was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
Guan Lin, this kid...... Don't look at his usual words, but this ability to mend the knife is indeed getting stronger and stronger!
……
During that time, from each group, bursts of practice singing could be heard from time to time. But it is always less melodious and more ghosts crying wolves. Shen Antong let go of his heart after listening to it for a long time, anyway, his singing skills are not enough to compare, more than the bottom, so he can "still listen".
The conditional group is said to separate the actors and singers. Because sometimes a touching plot needs to have a soundtrack, but if the actor is still crying one moment and grabs the ground one moment, and picks up the microphone and starts singing the next moment, in the eyes of the audience, it will also be very dramatic. Some people play, some people sing, this is the most suitable match.
But Rong Xiao's group and Shen Antong's group are facing the same problem, that is, those who can act can sing, and those who can't act can't sing, and they can only serve as actors and singers at the same time. As for how to arrange the coordination of the plot and background music, they need to worry about their own nerves.
……
Now, Shen Antong's group is rehearsing a supporting role.
The heroine played by Shen Antong has two girlfriends by her side. In the years when she was hopelessly waiting for the male protagonist to return, her best friends also went to different destinies.
Jin Siqi plays the role of a girl with a very ordinary appearance and conditions, staying in the small shop run by her family to help, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. But her personality is different from that of the heroine, although she is ordinary, she is not willing to be ordinary. Her biggest dream is that one day she can run from time to time and fly on the branches to be a phoenix, such as being selected by the emperor who went out on patrol in micro-clothes, entering the palace as a concubine, or being favored by a rich child and being able to marry into a wealthy family as an aunt's wife.
Of course, even she herself feels that she can't tolerate the world's thoughts, she won't tell the heroine directly. But this nature of disliking the poor and loving the rich, greedy for vanity, will permeate her daily words and deeds.
For example, for the poor people who come to the store, she will secretly show disdainful eyes. For the dusty woman who swaggers through the market, but wears gold and silver, others are pointing fingers, but in her eyes, there will be a trace of hidden envy. It shows that in her values, she has never been ashamed of this.
And whether or not you can perform these details well is quite a test of acting skills.
This character actually has some similarities with Jin Siqi's own personality. So while she felt relaxed about acting in her true colors, on the other hand, she was worried that others would really assimilate her into the role. Even when performing, I don't dare to "push too hard".
"Siqi, your acting skills are okay, but you haven't completely let yourself go. When Shen Antong played against her, he would also guide her a few words, "From the audience's point of view, you will feel that you are acting, and you have not fully become that role." ”
"A good actor should lose himself when acting, you are not playing this role, you are this role. When you say it, it's not just a line, it's what you really think. To do this, you have to understand the character more thoroughly, and really understand the character's character and thoughts. In this way, you can think what she thinks and see what she sees. ”
"Also, I think your performance in some of the intense plot points is very good, and the emotions are in place. But in the plot points that reflect the daily life of life, the performance is more embarrassing. In fact, a scene is often composed of details, and the plain is true. If you can do a simple eye play very well, it will be more engaging than just 'pushing too hard' in the key plot. ”
Jin Siqi nodded thoughtfully. There are not many key plots of this character in the early stage, as a girlfriend of the heroine who has a "not too distinct personality", she is almost a background board role. In the early stage, she only had some subtle eye plays, movements, demeanor, and so on. And these will naturally not be described in detail in the script, so whether she can act well and let the audience remember it depends on how she experiences this character.
The fate of this character is tragic. Because she didn't want to live a poor life, she always hoped to find a big family to be a small child, and the family once introduced her to several honest young men, but she refused because she disliked the other party for being too poor.
Until one day, she finally met a person who "seemed" to be quite rich, she insisted on marrying each other despite the opposition of her parents, and even broke with her family to the point of almost breaking up.
She said what she had suppressed for many years, "Since you have given me birth to such a poor family and delayed me for most of my life, why are you still hindering me from pursuing glory and wealth now? I have waited for so many years, waiting for the day when I will change my fate!"
These words broke the hearts of parents. They didn't expect that their daughter would always have such a mind. A few simple words seem to turn years of nurturing grace into nothingness. The mother was also out of control, tremblingly raised her hand to the door, and shouted: "Get out!"
Jin Siqi's character also regretted it, and she didn't expect that the resentment buried in her heart would be so deep and so intense. But the words had already been spoken, and she refused to bow her head, and after a short struggle, she still picked up the package and ran out.
She thought that she had married into a wealthy family as she wished, and she would soon be able to have the happiness she wanted. But after actually getting married, the good times didn't last long.
She soon discovered that this man actually didn't have any money at all, and his previous luxury was just a swollen face and a fat man, but in fact, he owed a lot of money to Qianzhuang, and from time to time he would be called by creditors. smashed at every turn, Jin Siqi's role could only be frightened again and again, and he couldn't live a stable life.
The reason is very simple, as a poor girl with a mediocre appearance, even if there is really a wealthy family, how can you look down on her?
At the same time, this husband is both a gambler and an alcoholic, and his huge deficit is basically caused by spending all day in casinos. Whenever he lost money or got drunk, he would beat his wife at home. Then he went out again, leaving his wife, covered in injuries, alone to face the creditor who came to the door.
The ideal luxury life did not materialize. In order to exchange for a stability, Jin Siqi's character had to work harder to make money, her appearance was rapidly haggard and aging, obviously she was still young, but she looked like a middle-aged yellow-faced woman who had worked hard for half her life.
The two of them also have a son. When the husband is unhappy, he will beat his son together. Every time, he would reflect on himself, kneel down and admit his mistakes to his wife and children, promising that there would be no next time. Jin Siqi's character forgave him again and again, but in exchange for only another more violent beating.
Finally one day, Jin Siqi's character endured to the end, and she fled the house with her son.
As a single mother with a son, she has endured the fingers of her neighbors, and her life is very hard. And the parents who broke up with her back then couldn't bear to see their daughter end up like this, so they still took her home.
After experiencing this bumpy life, this character finally came to his senses and began to learn to start some small businesses on his own. Now that she talks to the heroine again, she also begins to lament the naivety and ignorance of the past. Now she finally realizes that the unattainable glory is far less than the stability that is within reach.
Such an ending finally "whitewashed" her soul, but it still can't change the tragic nature of this character.
