Chapter 90: Intermediate
What are you doing?
The vast majority of industry insiders are confused after hearing the name Four Seas Records, they have never heard of this record company at all.
But it doesn't matter, now they know.
Because Sihai Records held a press conference and said that they quietly signed the mysterious masked singer X, who has attracted national attention in recent days!
That's right! It's X! This mysterious masked singer is called X!
It's too TM middle two!
Oh, by the way, the term "secondary two" doesn't exist in this world......
Wang Deli of Sihai Records introduced it succinctly: "After signing a contract with Sihai Records, X's identity and appearance are not disclosed, and the next work such as releasing records, X will not show up, do not publicize, and do not do live performances." ”
Ooh!
There was an exclamation in the industry.
What is this? It's too arrogant!
The music industry in China is not without this kind of precedent, but it is usually a big artist of a large company, who dares to do so only after ensuring that there are enough publicity resources in addition to the artist himself.
However, now that the contract has been signed, other companies have given up the search for this X identity, and it makes no sense for other agents to find this person's identity again.
According to the rules in the circle, since he has signed a contract, it will be difficult to poach people for a while, and the identity of this person is not so important, the industry's previous speculation about this X is nothing more than speculation that he is an ordinary person or a famous artist to hide his identity, and now that he has signed a contract with the company, it is obvious that he will not be a famous artist, since he is an ordinary person and has signed a contract, there is no point in continuing to look for it.
As for this mysterious person is a public figure in other industries, such as cross talk, many people have not considered this possibility at all, even if this is the case, in fact, those professional scouts do not care, the identity issue is only news at most, scouts are concerned about whether they can sign this person, whether this person has the potential to become popular after signing, and the identity issue is only concerned by reporters.
After signing the contract, Fan Cheng didn't need to do anything in terms of music for a while.
As for the single or album, according to Fan Cheng's signing with Wang Deli, he doesn't even need to go to Wang Deli, as long as he records it himself and sends it to Wang Deli, in fact, even if he goes to Wang Deli, it's useless, in terms of resources and funds, Wang Deli can't even compare to Fan Cheng.
Recording and writing songs is something that he only takes time to do, and there are still a lot of things waiting for him on the TV station, which is the key.
First of all, Sun Maofeng is finally leaving, and then the process of upgrading the TV station is finally over.
Sun Maofeng didn't just leave, many of the planned filming had to be completed before leaving, a month after Fan Cheng returned from their victory, these things were finally done, Sun Maofeng was about to leave tomorrow to report on the new TV station, on the last day, Fan Cheng gathered him and everyone in the Yoshimoto Troupe, as well as the current Wang brothers and other people who do hosting and behind-the-scenes work in the station.
Now the Yoshimoto Troupe has more than 30 people after two expansions, but there is also a difference in popularity and ability, capable people such as Wang Xingxing, in Fan Cheng's opinion, even in Japan in his time and space, is enough to be a qualified artist, while those who are incapable are still in the stage of slow reaction speed and unable to keep up with the rhythm of the topic.
Fan Cheng didn't care about the difference in level, and directly called everyone together.
Fan Cheng said: "Before giving you a lesson, in addition to the first ten theoretical knowledge, most of the rest of the time we are doing actual rehearsals and exercises, although through these, coupled with the actual combat shooting on TV, everyone's ability has increased to varying degrees, but the vast majority of you are not yet to the extent that you can move on to the next step." ”
Then, he continued: "But Brother Mao Feng is about to leave the TV station, and as the first one to leave the station, I feel it is necessary to talk about the more advanced techniques I am thinking. ”
After a pause, Fan Cheng said: "Of course, as the media said, I am indeed inexperienced, and these things belong to my personal imagination, so you can believe it or not." ”
The crowd chuckled.
The people present are not outsiders who have watched many programs on the entertainment channel, outsiders may doubt Fan Cheng's ability and role, these people who have taken classes and participated in the show will not think so, what he taught everyone is the royal way of acting on TV programs, and the most precious thing is that in China, at this stage, you can learn the way of singing, you can learn the way of acting, but how to behave and how to speak on TV?
It's like a monopoly business!
Fan Cheng continued: "In our previous classes, the most important thing we emphasized was two things, one is professionalism, and the other is the artist's reaction ability, which belongs to the two most basic abilities of artists, and they are also things that artists can do with only hard work and few talents.
Next, I would like to try to tell you about the advancement of artists.
It should be noted that the word talent, although I don't want to admit it, but the artist industry is indeed an industry that needs talent, in addition to talent, a good mood is also very important, sighing all day long, anxious is not able to do a good live performance, understand?"
"Yes!" everyone nodded.
"Okay, then I'll start talking about the artist's advancement, language ability.
There are many aspects of language ability, such as the ability to comment, such as knowledge ability, these things, in addition to me, there are people in other places to teach, I will not say more, I mainly hope to teach you, or I mainly study the funny skills in language ability. ”
"Everyone knows that I like to call the praise and tease in cross talk as pretending to be stupid and complaining respectively, and praise and both are just cross talk terms, except for cross talk, few people will use these two words in life.
Playing stupid and complaining is more intuitive and civilian, and anyone can quickly understand the meaning of the two words and how to use them, which is what I hope to see. ”
"In terms of comedy, in my opinion, the most important thing is the ability to pretend to be stupid and complain, and many of the funny dramas and stage performances we have seen so far can be simply divided into these two categories.
For example, Mr. Bean in the United Kingdom is a textbook-style foolish performance, and most of the talk shows we have watched are the most standard tutorials. ”
So, I'm going to try to summarize a few categories of pretending to be stupid and complaining. ”
"Of course, the effect of examples is very good at this time, so let's try to come up with a scenario first, and then in the theoretical teaching process, I will put the examples into this scenario to help you understand. ”
With Fan Cheng's lecture, everyone who listened to the lecture took out their notebooks and began to write, and the photographer on the side also set up the camera, of course Fan Cheng will not have new students to take classes by themselves every year, his video is to be left to future generations, and many of these students present may also become teachers of the course in the future.
"For example, the scene where a man goes to his girlfriend's house for the first time to meet his girlfriend's father, let's see how to use the way I proposed to play stupid and complain in this scene. Fan Cheng suggested a rather common scenario.
"First of all, it's like playing stupid, just like the previous theoretical course, I originally proposed eight but added two later, and now my summary of pretending to be stupid and complaining is not necessarily the final version, I, or any of you, may add more possibilities to pretending to be stupid in the future, which I am very much looking forward to. ”
"Also, pretending to be stupid isn't necessarily inherently funny, you have to substitute it into some kind of environment, and after you have the prerequisites, a lot of jokes will become funny. ”
Fan Cheng looked at the people who were taking notes seriously, and continued: "So...... The first way to play silly is a language game. ”
"The so-called language game is to use the characteristics of Chinese and Chinese to make all kinds of small jokes, small misunderstandings, our common dialects and misheard interruptions, etc. are all this kind of pretending to be stupid. ”
"For example, in the scene I proposed, Brother Maofeng, come and play my father-in-law!" Fan Cheng greeted Sun Maofeng.
Sun Maofeng came to Fan Cheng, and after the two of them exchanged lines, Fan Cheng said: "Uncle, your daughter is beautiful!"
"Is my daughter beautiful or is it my thief who is pretty?"
Fan Cheng said to everyone: "This is the simplest language game to pretend to be stupid, of course, in the real performance, no one will laugh at such a foolish suddenly, but what if this uncle is a thief and the young man is a policeman? What if this uncle hates the Northeast people the most? What if this uncle is a professor in the Department of Language and Literature of Peking University? With these prerequisites, there are many possibilities. ”
Everyone in the audience nodded, what Fan Cheng said was indeed true.
"Next, the second way is to play stupid, a matter of timing. ”
Fan Cheng and Sun Maofeng exchanged their lines again.
Then, Fan Cheng stood a little farther away and walked over.
"Hello uncle!"
"You're Fan Cheng, right?"
"Yes, what do you think would be the best name for me and your daughter's child?"
"That's too fast!?" Sun Maofeng said.
At the end of the performance, Fan Cheng once again turned his attention to everyone: "Look, this is a matter of timing, the two are meeting for the first time, and they even talked about their daughter's name directly beyond the scope of marriage." ”
"Then the third is to make a big fuss. ”
"Uncle, please marry your daughter to me. ”
"I disagree!"
"Uncle, for the sake of your daughter's happiness, for love and justice, and for world peace, please marry your daughter to me!"
It can't be to this extent, can it!?
