Chapter 167: Moonlight Serenade
Of course, it is a good thing for Fan Xiaoqian to be a singer, with her talent, if she is not a singer, it is a tyrannical thing, even if more songs are followed in the mountain of variety shows, it is not as good as Fan Xiaoqian's regret of not being a singer.
But with her talent, the question of what will happen to this path in the future is a question.
It's a bit too much to say that Fan Xiaoqian's face hinders her development a little.
If she looks just ordinary and cute, Fan Cheng has the confidence to push Fan Xiaoqian to the position of a top idol after his packaging, but the problem is that she is really beautiful, although she is only sixteen years old, but the little face that is very suitable for TV is perfect, the big eyes seem to contain countless emotions, the blowing can be broken, the cream-like skin, although she is still young, she has a very perfect body, such a shape, it is easy for people to forget to listen to her singing when she stands there.
Therefore, how to manage her is very crucial.
The day after Fan Xiaoqian made up her mind, the first thing Fan Cheng did was to arrange for Fan Zheng to acquire Sihai Records.
To push a new singer and hand it over to the three major record companies is indeed a relatively mature system, but Fan Cheng prefers to create her by himself, Fan Xiaoqian is too cute and sings so well at the same time, the simple idol route is no longer suitable for her, Fan Cheng hopes to give her more opportunities, let her try more types of music, rock, country, pop, and even electronic music, even in Huaxia, the kind of Japanese flavor is very strong, and the appearance of songs in Huaxia is likely to make everyone confused.
Therefore, it is still a long time before Fan Xiaoqian really debuts, if she just sings the most suitable songs for her, it is very easy, those songs that are not very difficult, there are Fan Cheng who can record more than ten songs a day with the two of them, but what if it is rock? What if it is a nation? Fan Xiaoqian must learn more to release emotions and control the style and taste of the songs.
Intense rehearsals were underway.
After most of the rehearsals were completed, the next few days began to be spent polishing the song.
Professional singers can't sing a song when they get it, from pronunciation to emotional control, they need to communicate enough with the creator, with the band, and even with the live sound, director, and recording engineer, the first episode of "Creation is King" is a two-hour special edition, 100 minutes of playback time, except for the last 15 minutes or so Teresa Teng period, there are 85 minutes left, each song takes 40 minutes, 40 minutes of course, everyone can't sing the same version, then you can only work the arrangement.
There are a total of six contenders for "Red Dragonfly", each of whom has less than seven minutes, in addition to the review after singing, the singing time of each song is about three or four minutes, Fan Cheng and the singers, as well as the band, have designed different arrangements for everyone, both idols, like the version of the Little Tigers, and the acoustic guitar, which is relatively simple, but it is actually more difficult to interpret the version of Chang Yuangang, as for the version of "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que", there are more, Chen Huixian's, Leslie Cheung's, Anita Mui's, Kondo Masahiko's...... Although the lyrics have basically not changed, each version of the arrangement has its own special flavor, and even if it is the same song, the audience will never get the wrong version of the song.
On the way to practice songs, Fan Cheng also showed his skills, at the beginning, the artists of major companies were still a little skeptical about Fan Cheng, although the show claimed that he made these two good songs, but God knows what his musical ability is, many people still have a little worry about his strength, but after the official start of the road, many people are convinced, a song comes out with at least six different arrangement versions, each version seems to be made by a completely different person, from the style to the theme are completely different, and each version is so good, can do such a guy, how can the understanding of music not be profound?
All the musicians have served Fan Cheng, and they will no longer consider his identity as a variety show producer and host, and the younger ones even began to call Fan Cheng a teacher.
As for Teresa Teng's new song in the end, this song is confidential before it is played, so there are only two people at the time of recording, Fan Cheng and Teresa Teng, and there is not even a band at the scene, and when the show is really live, Fan Cheng will do the piano accompaniment.
Of course, Fan Xiaoqian and Qin Ruoxue can still enter the recording studio, and they have also listened to Teresa Teng's interpretation of this third song recently.
Teresa Teng's song recording and rehearsal took two nights together, and there was plenty of time to arrange, which made her and Fan Cheng more relaxed during the recording, especially on the second night, when the recording was almost over, she also talked with Fan Cheng and Fan Xiaoqian and Qin Ruoxue about a lot of inside stories in the entertainment industry, and even talked a lot about her relationship with her eldest brother back then.
Teresa Teng also saw that this Fan Xiaoqian gradually became interested in the entertainment industry, but if you want to say that she has a good impression, she may not have a great favor, but her talent is so good, so sooner or later she will enter this circle, coupled with Fan Cheng's protection, it is basically impossible for her to have any problems, so Teresa Teng did not say anything bad about this circle, but picked a lot of good things.
The relaxed Fan Cheng didn't hide himself in front of Teresa Teng, in addition to "I Only Care About You", he also played a lot of music on the piano, and even Fan Xiaoqian and Qin Ruoxue tried to sing with his piano accompaniment, Fan Xiaoqian, Fan Cheng, Teresa Teng, needless to say, Qin Ruoxue's singing voice is also quite good, although it is not as good as Fan Xiaoqian, but according to Fan Cheng's feelings, if her level is practiced by a professional teacher, there should be no problem in making her debut as an idol.
At the end of the day, Fan Cheng, who was having fun, even played one of his favorite songs from the Japanese idol era.
This song is called "Moon Half Serenade", the Chinese singer is Li Keqin, the Japanese singer is Kawai Nahoko, Li Keqin's version is of course a classic, but what left the biggest impression on Fan Cheng was Kawai Nahoko's version, especially when Kawai Nahoko performed this song many years after her debut, it really sang the feelings in the song to the bone.
By the way, some people say that this song was written by Nahoko Kawai to Jackie Chan, who hurt her deeply, which is basically impossible, Jackie Chan and Nahoko Kawai had an affair later than the release of this song, and that scandal is basically a hot shaved head pick on the Chinese side, and the most important thing is that this song Nahoko Kawai is composed rather than lyrics......
Fan Cheng's interpretation of this song is more like Li Keqin's boys' version, but Fan Cheng bluntly said to Teresa Teng that he plans to give this song to girls to sing instead of boys in the future, although the arrangement of the boys' version is also very good, he still prefers the girls' version, but he has not carved the lyrics of the girls' version yet, so this song will definitely not appear in the first quarter of "Creation is King".
Teresa Teng also tried to sing this "Moonlight Serenade", of course she sang it very well, after all, she has also experienced so many people, but it is a little regrettable that her age, after all, she is almost fifty years old, even if the voice is well maintained, even if the skills and feelings are perfect, her "Moonlight Serenade" is just hers, and it will never become the "Moonlight Serenade" in Fan Cheng's mind.
If it is another song, Teresa Teng is of course perfect to sing, and even in the eyes of other people, but who made this song Fan Cheng's favorite, he was even more harsh on this song, as if "I Care About You" only belongs to Teresa Teng.
As for Fan Xiaoqian singing this song?
The voice and singing skills are enough, but the emotional is not sufficient, she is a girl full of happiness, Fan Cheng, and almost everyone in the Fan family helped her block most of her sorrows, so this girl is lively and eccentric at the same time quite naïve.
In the end, when Fan Cheng motioned for Qin Ruoxue to go in and try it, the girl flinched.
"I don't need to, I'm originally a rock 'n' roll song, and this song doesn't match my image. Qin Ruoxue waved her hand.
"Really? Forget it. Fan Cheng didn't insist, he didn't know you Qin Ruoxue very well, but because she was brought by Fan Xiaoqian, he was willing to let her know these things, in Fan Cheng's opinion, Qin Ruoxue was just a more sensible star chaser.
However, Qin Ruoxue didn't think so.
Whether it is Fan Cheng's speculation, her identity as a star chaser, or the song "Moonlight Serenade".
When Fan Cheng sang, the other three didn't pay attention, Qin Ruoxue's body was shaking slightly, Fan Cheng's song was too lethal to her.
Qin Ruoxue used to like Fan Cheng's songs very much, whether it was the two songs of X, or the three songs now, and today Fan Cheng seems to be singing very casually when she fiddles with the piano and likes it too, but these likes are not as good as the feeling she felt when she heard this "Moonlight Serenade".
Although Fan Cheng has not seriously added Mandarin lyrics to this song, just listening to the song, Qin Ruoxue can get the kind of affection contained in it.
Qin Ruoxue felt as if this song was singing about her and her feelings for Fan Cheng.
"It's too cunning, third uncle, you are so cunning......" The girl's heart was doing a hundred turns and thousands of times that only a sentimental woman of her age would have, and she endured the feelings in her heart, and finally endured to break up with the three of them, and took the taxi that Fan Cheng helped to find and went home.
It was only at this time that she finally quietly hummed the "Moonlight Serenade", which she had just rejected.
"A man is like the moon in heaven and on earth, and thou shalt not have it...... Love is like a ......"
"But my heart is still possessed by him every moment, and he only smiles and doesn't open his mouth like this bright moon......"
Qin Ruoxue slightly adjusted the lyrics to match her mood, and as a result, tears slowly dripped from her eyes as she sang.
She's just a sixteen-year-old girl who is happy and melancholy because of the beginning of her love.
The next day, what Fan Xiaoqian saw at school was still Qin Ruoxue, who played with her as before, and listened to her talk about the third uncle, there was nothing special, as if the Qin Ruoxue in the taxi last night did not exist at all.
When the intense rehearsal work finally ended, the first episode of "Creation is King" on the entertainment channel was finally about to begin.
Of course, before that, the upgrade of the provincial TV station of the comprehensive entertainment channel was finally implemented.
From last year to this year, although it was only a year, the comprehensive entertainment channel dominated Yangji City at the fastest speed with an average market share of more than 70% in Yangji City, and for other municipal TV stations in Yangji City, like Yangji City TV Station, they may have wanted to compete with the comprehensive entertainment channel at first, but then they simply gave up, because it was a battle that was doomed to defeat from the beginning.
It's interesting to say, when the comprehensive entertainment channel failed to impact for the first time, these rival TV stations were actually the most unhappy, as if a low-level sports league suddenly had a world superstar, and all the light of the world was robbed by this superstar at the same time, and the feeling that other TV stations could only live in the shadow was extremely painful.
Other provincial TV stations, big producers may be able to influence the entertainment channel and Fan Cheng together, but these "small TV stations" can only watch the entertainment channel be strong, and in the face of absolute strength, they can't even hinder Fan Cheng.
Those programs produced by the comprehensive entertainment channel in the same period are only broadcast on the channel itself, and the real key is to broadcast them nationwide, such as Fan Cheng's "Food Showdown" is now recorded in Yangji, as the person in charge of Yangji Station, I want to find people in the station or the city to check their fire protection facilities, and it is okay to deduct their equipment if there are fire hazards, but what about after that? The comprehensive entertainment channel or Fan Cheng can't deal with you for a while, but what about the people from Dragon TV?
That's a quasi-national TV station in the magic capital, although it is said to be at the same level as the provincial station in Yangji, but will anyone seriously compare the Beilin provincial station with Dragon TV? Not to mention that you are only a municipal TV station?
As for the next 24-hour plan, no one dares to hinder it, this plan has attracted much attention since it was disclosed, and it was revealed afterwards that there was a 15% rating, nearly 200 million viewers watched the program, if you dare to stumble at the critical moment, the 200 million viewers each spit a mouthful, you can open an aquarium.
When the scenery of the comprehensive entertainment channel is unlimited, most of the municipal TV stations broadcast at the same level and in the same region can only draw circles and curse them as villains.
Such a bastard TV station is now finally going to upgrade, not to plague Yangji City, but to begin to plague the people of Quanbei Lin Province, although the municipal station is still suppressed, but the pressure and the falling sky have become the tall men of the provincial TV station, and the municipal station is already happy to beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers to send them off.
So the upgrade ceremony broadcast before "Creation is King" became the first program of the comprehensive entertainment channel to upgrade to a provincial TV station, and under the witness of the directors of the TV stations and cooperative businesses who were invited to watch the ceremony, Fan Cheng officially received the provincial TV station upgrade certificate awarded by the state, and after two years, the comprehensive entertainment channel finally successfully completed the triple jump from the primary TV station to the municipal level and then to the provincial level.
