Chapter 62: First Interview
Yue Di and others are very grateful to Li Dongneng for selling songs to them.
Li Dong not only sold songs to them, but also played a decisive role in the future change of the style of the Shattered Band.
If it weren't for Li Dong's three songs, as well as the continuous instillation of ideas into the band these days, even if Yue Di and others were inspired, it would not have been an overnight thing to change their style.
The Gangnam Music Festival is a rare opportunity where bands simply can't get noticed without their amazing performances.
The Shattered Band has been stumbling for so many years, and if this opportunity is missed again, it will be difficult to become popular in the future.
This time, the Shattered Band sang five songs at the Gangnam Music Festival, and in order to express their gratitude, they only sang three songs, and gave Li Dong the opportunity to write the other two songs.
Being able to appear on the stage of the Jiangnan Music Festival represents recognition in the circle for any niche musician, and it is also a great honor.
The fact that the Broken Band can do this shows that Yue Di and others are indeed righteous.
Li Dong did not refuse pretentiously.
He helped the Shattered Band, in fact, he was helping himself, the Shattered Band only had one chance to perform, if it couldn't become an instant hit, then Li Dong's trip to Jiangnan was no different from tourism.
Now that he has the opportunity to write two songs, he is going to bring his own band.
So he found Tang Xiuxiu and others and asked them about participating in the Jiangnan Music Festival.
Tang Xiuxiu became excited when she heard it.
"Damn...... You even told us that it was the Gangnam Music Festival, and we had to go......"
Li Dong smiled bitterly: "I'm in a self-funded class, skipping class is nothing, but you can't do it......"
"Hah...... Can I say that I skipped class to go to the Jiangnan Music Festival in my freshman year, this time on the stage of the Jiangnan Music Festival, the old lady would rather drop out of school than go. ”
Seeing Tang Xiuxiu so strong, what else could Li Dong say.
He looked at the man with glasses and the girl with autism, they glanced at each other, and nodded at Li Dong almost at the same time.
"When I call in sick, I say I have appendicitis and ......"
"I ...... I also asked for leave, so I said that there was something at home......"
Li Dong smiled bitterly in his heart, now he has a kind of rush to elope with someone.
"In that case, we are focusing on rehearsing new pieces in the past few days, and we are trying to make it a hit at the festival. ”
After listening to Li Dong's words, Tang Xiuxiu and the others were all very excited, it was the Jiangnan Music Festival, there were many big names, but it was not an ordinary small scene.
In the next few days, Li Dong, Li Guangnan and others seized all the time to rehearse.
Not only that, Li Dong and the band members also have to join the rehearsal of the Broken Band, and the two sides will cooperate and get acquainted with each other as soon as possible.
Li Guangnan and Li Dong will serve as rhythm guitarists, Tang Xiuxiu will be a full-time sampler, Zhu Yuanyuan's bass will supplement the peripherals, and as for Hu Guangsheng, the ...... Take a pair of shakers, which have no presence in a band of this style anyway.
As a result, the Shattered Band suddenly became a super-large band of ten people, a lead singer, three guitars, two keyboards, two basses, and a drummer.
In fact, the number of bands, the Jiangnan Music Festival Organizing Committee has no requirements, anyway, bands like them, the accommodation conditions are very poor, people don't care how many people there are in the band, many bands also have a few sharp fruits.
During this time, in order to rehearse with the band, Li Dong rarely even went to the MG Bar.
Almost every day, he was in Li Guangnan's recording studio, rehearsing with the members of the band. The arrangements of several songs are also constantly supplemented to make the music as full as possible.
Just when he was busy in the dark, he received a call from Lao Huang, asking him to come to Kyoto Film Academy tomorrow afternoon to participate in the casting of the film.
How can Li Dong have that leisure now, but Lao Huang is too clingy, if you don't agree, he will make a style of rolling all over the ground, and Li Dong can only agree.
Kyoto Film Academy, the cradle of imperial film talents, is also one of the three higher art film professional colleges in the empire, enjoys a high reputation in the domestic film and cultural art circles, and is also the world's most famous film art institution of higher learning.
When Li Dong arrived at the Kyoto Film Academy, it was already a little faster.
I thought that the girls at the Royal Academy of Music were beautiful enough, but when I entered here, I realized that it was better to be a film school.
There are girls everywhere, and the long legs are so big that Li Dong's eyes are shook, and his nosebleed almost comes down.
Li Dong came to the outside of a lecture hall and found that the benches in the corridor were already full of people, all of whom had come to participate in today's casting.
Huang Peiren's commercial films have always sold well, so the casting work is often a response.
But this time it's different, although he has achieved good results in making commercial films, but in literary films, Lao Huang is making one and one fight.
And for the sake of keeping the script secret, Lao Huang didn't even ask for the sponsorship of the Imperial Film Foundation, and simply invested it himself, which made the salary of this movie very low.
So the actors who came to participate in the casting today are not famous. But there were quite a few people who came.
Li Dong wanted to enter the classroom, but was stopped by a bright girl.
"I'm looking for Director Huang ......"
The girl didn't wait for him to finish, and then stuffed him with a piece of paper.
"Teacher Huang is very busy, you fill out this form and wait outside......"
After the girl finished speaking, she ignored him and continued to distribute forms to others.
Li Dong was a little confused, took out the phone and called Huang Peiren, but the other party's phone was always busy.
He shook his head with a wry smile and wandered down the hallway with the form.
I wanted to find a place to sit, but the benches in the hallway were almost full.
Walking to the end of the hallway, where a few people sat loosely on a bench, he stopped.
Maybe it's because he's young and looks as immature as his peers, and others only think he's a rookie who has just started in the industry.
So the few people on the bench didn't mean to move, leaving only a very small place, which made Li Dong a little entangled.
He is a dignified movie creator, and he grabbed a seat with a group of actors who were interviewed, and how to be a person when he passed it out.
Thinking of this, Li Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, let's stand for a while.
"Brother, come...... Sit here......"
At this time, someone next to him called out to him, and when he turned his head, he saw the man on the bench opposite squeezing to the side, making room for him.
Li Dong was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile and sat next to him.
The old man was filling out the form, and said with a smile as he filled it out, "Hehe...... First interview......"
"Forehead ......"
"Brother, don't be nervous...... Try to show your best side, don't deliberately cater to the director, it will look more awkward. ”
Li Dong laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, this person is not bad.
He glanced at the form the man was filling out, and saw that the other person's resume was full of words.
Li Dong couldn't help but glance at him.
He is about thirty years old, tall and thin, with neat short hair, not handsome, but his eyes are peaceful, his temperament is calm, and he is reassuring to look at.
"Big brother, you've acted in a lot of dramas......"
The man turned his head to look at him, smiled innocently and said, "Hehe...... It's all small roles......"
He finished filling it out and glanced at the form in Li Dong's hand.
"Why don't you fill out the form, I'll take it in a while. ”
Li Dong wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to explain it.
"It's okay, don't panic when you go in......"
Next, the man began to teach him his experience, and he said it very truthfully, even Li Dong, who didn't know anything about acting, felt as if he understood a lot after listening to it.
Li Dong could feel that people were really not pretending, they were really helping him.
A rookie with a confused face, on such an occasion, if he can get the sincere advice of an old bird, it will be too helpful.
After Li Dong listened to what the man said, he had the urge to go in for an interview.
This person's name is Wang Bo, and he graduated from a low-class acting college.
Because of his low background and poor appearance, he can only start from the trick.
He loves acting, and his former classmates are still engaged in this industry, and now he is the only one left.
has been in the industry for more than ten years, although he has played more than 200 roles, in fact, he is stronger than the dragon set.
"Dongzi...... Why are you still outside, hurry up...... It's up to you......"
The two were chatting happily, when they saw Lao Huang pushing the door and shouting at him.
The people in the corridor were all stunned when they heard this, what the hell was going on.
A strange thought came to everyone's minds, and a kind of rookie instantly turned into a sweeping monk.
Wang Bo was even more confused, he looked at this little brother he had just recognized in disbelief.
"Brother Wang, I'll go in first, let's talk about it another day......"
After he finished speaking, he trotted into the classroom under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.
