Chapter 41: The Semifinals

After finishing the unboxing of the Spring and Autumn Drama Club and letting the actors go back to rest, Shen You began to worry about raising funds again.

The future development of the Spring and Autumn Opera Club and the establishment of the animation production department will burn a lot of money in the early stage.

Even if the studio had 20 million Chinese dollars paid by Brilliant Pictures in the account, it was still far from enough.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I am about to enter the crew to film, and I must take advantage of these days to come up with a way.

The next day, when he went to the studio, Shen You saw the renovation budget of the Yandu Grand Theater that he asked He Ling to do.

The renovation and expansion cost a total of 2.1 million Chinese yuan, plus the first half-year rent payment, that is to say, he had to find a way to make up at least 4 million Chinese yuan as soon as possible, not counting the placement costs of the newly recruited Peking Opera performers of the Spring and Autumn Opera Society.

The placement of actors is also a big problem, I am about to go to the crew to film, I definitely have no time to take care of the drama club, Uncle Chen and Boss Yu and others have now quit the Huaxia Peking Opera Troupe, they also want to eat!

After a moment of thought, he finally came up with an idea.

"Sister He, after our studio signs a cartoonist, don't we have to sign a new actor?

What do you think of Boss Yu?

Zhang Yuanxi, Uncle Chen and Wu Shengkui have a good image and are suitable for participating in some film and television dramas, while Boss Yu should participate in some cultural interviews or variety shows related to Peking Opera. ”

He Ling smiled helplessly: "Boss, you have arranged things here, what else can I say." ”

After settling the matter with He Ling's side, Shen You called again to inquire about the wishes of Boss Yu and several of them. Out of absolute trust in Boss Shen, they naturally all agreed.

After placing Boss Yu and the others properly, Shen You leaned back on the chair and began to think about the way to make money.

There are only three days to go, and it will definitely be too late to write a book, take on a play or release an album, so I can only think of a way from the copyright.

Since the copyright of the novel "Farewell My Concubine" can be sold, the copyright of the Peking Opera script and song can naturally be also.

At that moment, Shen You looked at He Ling and said, "Sister He, didn't you have a relationship with many directors and producers of the crew before?"

Can you ask them if they need an interlude, an ending song, or a theme song in their new work to be broadcast?

The five songs "Love", "Big Fish", "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold", "Left Finger Moon" and "Moon Bend", they can cover them with my original voice or find a new singer.

There are also four plays, "Dou E's Injustice", "Kite Mistake", "Flower Field Mistake" and "Meilong Town", ask if there are any directors who want to adapt them into film and television dramas?"

Hearing Shen You's words, He Ling pondered for a moment before he said: "Boss, the five songs you sang on the "Good Singer of China" program have been spread by the masses and have already gained a certain degree of popularity, and it should not be difficult to sell them at a good price.

It's just that the four Peking operas have just been staged in Liyuan, and the audience in the Peking Opera circle is too small, so the directors of film and television dramas are afraid that they will not buy it. Even if it is sold, it will be extremely low. ”

Seeing Shen You frowning, He Ling said again: "It's better to do this, you authorize these four plays to the three major Peking Opera troupes, allow them to perform on the list, on the one hand, collect their copyright fees, and on the other hand, let the Peking Opera Troupe help spread them, so that with the help of the platform of the Huaxia Peking Opera Company, these four plays will be more widely known, and the future adaptation value will be higher." ”

Hearing He Ling's proposal, Shen You's eyes lit up, and he said approvingly: "This is a good idea, just do it, I'll call Uncle Chen." ”

Subsequently, Shen You called Uncle Chen and told him what He Ling thought.

When Chen Erkui heard this, he felt that this was an opportunity for the Spring and Autumn Opera Society and the Huaxia Peking Opera Company to ease relations, and immediately nodded and agreed.

Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·

At 8 p.m. on Friday, the No. 1 studio hall of Yanjing Satellite TV Radio and Television Center.

"The sound of nature, the gift of heaven, welcome to watch the "Chinese Good Singer" titled by Γ—Γ—Γ—, I am the host of this show Jiang Zhen. β€œ

The lights converged, and the host Jiang Zhen slowly walked onto the stage: "Unknowingly, the competition has been going on for more than two months. Tonight is the semi-finals of "Good Chinese Singer", the singers sprint night, and the singers have invited the guests to help the singers.

First of all, I would like to invite the first competing singer Song Mingyu and his co-singer Ning Kun to bring you a rock song "Sheng Tang". ”

"Dream back to Datang, Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

After the opening of the electronic horn, Song Mingyu sang a prelude in a soft voice, and then, Ning Kun's rough voice joined, causing a conflict of contrasts. The two sang a paragraph each, the song entered the climax, Song Mingyu used a soft voice as the base, and Ning Kun broke out with a hoarse and tearing voice, instantly igniting the audience, and the audience applauded thunderously.

"It's good, the voices of the two are so compatible, it's enjoyable!"

"That's what a semi-final should be!"

"On the night of the singer's sprint, everyone began to sprint. ”

"Five into four, no one wants to be eliminated. ”

……

After Song Mingyu and Ning Kun left, Jiang Zhen slowly walked onto the stage: "Next, I invite Boss Shen and his guest singer Boss Yu to bring you "Cool and Cool". ”

Jiang Zhen stepped aside, and Shen You and Wang Jinyu, who were waiting on the side curtain, stepped onto the stage together.

Shen You wore a white costume, ethereal, and Wang Jinyu wore a black robe, handsome and elegant.

"Boss Shen took the stage. ”

"Boss Yu is here. ”

……

At the beginning of the prelude, the melodious flute gradually sounded, accompanied by the melody of the guzheng like flowing water, Shen You first opened his mouth and sang a female voice:

"The night is getting cooler,

Flowers fall to the ground into frost.

You look out from afar,

Drain all of Twilight.

Don't think about it, it's hard to forget!"

Shen You's voice singing this time was as clear and ethereal as ever, with a full of melancholy, creating a slightly gloomy atmosphere.

"The prelude to this song is so good!"

"Boss Shen's voice is so graphic. ”

"I never get tired of hearing this voice. ”

Shen You finished singing the first measure and looked at Wang Jinyu, Wang Jinyu glanced at him, and began to sing:

"The peach blossoms are cold,

How did you give up in your previous life?

This sea is boundless,

also pretended that it was not painful, not itchy, not far-fetched.

It's all an illusion. ”

The audience, who had never heard Boss Yu sing before, immediately exclaimed when they heard Wang Jinyu's voice.

"Wow, that sound is so feeling. ”

"Boss Yu's voice is so mellow!"

"Mellow like spirits, a little spicy at first, the more you listen to it, the more you have an aftertaste. ”

No matter how the audience was amazed, Shen You sang in a clear voice:

"The cool night is a river of thoughts for you,

Turning into spring mud and caring for me. ”

Wang Jinyu said in a mellow voice:

"The shallow years are full of lover's sleeves,

Pieces of fragrant flowers flow into the water. ”

Shen You sang again:

"Cool and sweet, full of colors,

Falling into the mortal dust hurts me. ”

Wang Jinyu echoed again:

"Life is easy to cross, love is difficult,

The heart of depreciation still has a bit of hatred from the previous life.

There is also a bit of hatred from the previous life. ”

When Shen You and Wang Jinyu sang this chorus, the audience exploded.

"This melody is so good, isn't it?"

"This can be played on an infinite loop. ”

"There is a picture in their singing, and I seem to see the scorching peach blossom forest. ”

On the stage, Shen You and Wang Jinyu looked at each other affectionately, and he continued to sing in a clear and ethereal voice:

"I also had a slight frost on my temples,

I have also returned to the light because of you.

The years are long,

How can you waste time,

Go wandering. ”

Before the end of Shen You's wandering, Wang Jinyu on the side suddenly used the singing voice of a Peking Opera veteran to harmonize Shen You:

"Go-Flow-Wave!"

Listening to Wang Jinyu singing in an old-fashioned voice, Shen You immediately used Tsing Yi Zhengdan's singing voice to fight for her and:

"Go-change-to-long!"

The singing method of pop music sings a chorus, the old student's singing voice is first harmonized, Tsing Yi Zhengdan's singing voice is harmonized again, and the ground is thundering, with twists and turns.

"Goosebumps! goosebumps!"

"It's so good, but my wife is so good. ”

"Can pop songs be sung like this?"

"The singing voice of Peking Opera is so beautiful. ”

After the two sang and harmonized in the Beijing accent, Wang Jinyu was not hiding it.

I saw her eyes open, made a Peking Opera starting style, and read this lyric in the rhyme of the old student half-chanting and half-singing:

"The scorching peach blossoms are cool,

This life is getting hotter and hotter,

One has been relieved.

Enough for three lives and three lives in pairs. ”

Shen You sang in the Zhengdan tone of Peking Opera:

"Back-Shadow-Double!"

Wang Jinyu also sang in an old Beijing accent:

"In-water-one-square!"

After singing this Peking opera, Shen You suddenly changed back to pop music singing, and his clear and ethereal voice sounded again:

"The cool night is a river of thoughts for you,

Turning into spring mud and caring for me. ”

Wang Jinyu also sang with her mellow and delicate voice:

"The shallow years are full of lover's sleeves,

Pieces of fragrant flowers flow into the water. ”

sang a sentence in pop singing, and Shen You read a long rhyme again:

"Cool and sweet, full of colors,

Falling into the mortal dust hurts me. ”

Wang Jinyu echoed with an old rhyme:

"Life is easy to cross, love is difficult,

The heart of depreciation, and a bit of hatred from the previous life. ”

Shen You pretended to be Tsing Yi Zhengdan and sang:

"Liang Liang Sansheng III is suddenly like a dream,

The year of the year dried the tears. ”

Wang Jinyu also sang the old Peking Opera clichΓ©:

"If memories can no longer be recognized,

Let the love be separated. ”

Shen You returns to pop singing again:

"When will spring bloom in the cool ten miles,

And I saw the wind under the tree. ”

Wang Jinyu also sang along with the pop:

"Falling flowers are intentionally ruthless,

Don't let grudges love and hate,

Cool through the purity of the flower. ”

In the end, the mellow and delicate voices of the two are perfectly combined with the ethereal and clear voices:

"I want to take the dust in my life. ”

Shen You and Wang Jinyu looked at each other and smiled, bowed to the audience together, and the audience applauded.

"It's a really nice song. ”

"The combination of Peking Opera singing and pop singing is too perfect. ”
