Chapter 197: Electro Music and ...... Rock!?
The high ratings of the sixth episode represent the show's strength in promotion, and the audience's satisfaction with the series after being attracted to watch it also makes the series once again usher in the guarantee of ratings in the next broadcast.
Starting with 4% of the sixth episode, the discussion and positive reviews made viewers more inclined to "101 Proposals" when choosing to watch it.
Domestic TV dramas also have so-called routines, they are already accustomed to the hard work of middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, paying for their families and children, and occasionally having to be widowed and face the impact of reform and opening up.
Along with the TV series, X's new album became popular.
The quality of this new album is far beyond the imagination of musicians.
"SAY YES" IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE MOST WATCHED TRACK, AND WITH THE POPULARITY OF THE TV SERIES, THIS SONG BEGAN TO SPREAD ALL OVER THE STREETS AND ALLEYS, AND FAN CHENG'S "SAYYES" WAS SINGING ALL OVER CHINA.
But that's not the most talked-about song on the album, "Red" is.
This song can be said to be X's most hardcore and "niche" work so far, as a rock singer, X's works so far are standard pop rock, and it is the kind of work that claims to be rock, but ordinary people don't have any problems with sounding like this, this "Red" is not the case, the first time you listen to this song, it will give people the impression that the song is too niche, too rebellious and crazy.
But the subtle thing is that such a song has a lot of popularity among listeners, and the visual makeup, high-pitched and loud to harsh timbre can't hide the excellent melody and outstanding quality of the whole song.
After the album was released, musicians felt that the first to become popular must be "SAY YES", and this "Red" was considered to be X's work to please niche and pure rock fans.
In fact, pure rock fans do have a high evaluation of this song, these pure rock fans were more or less prejudiced against X before, thinking that his rock is too popular and commercial, full of copper smell, the song "Graduation" is really good, but other works, even the works he wrote for others are not very good, especially what makes rock fans feel unacceptable is that X may be Fan Cheng!
They're rock music fans! Rebellious ones, who doesn't think that the person they like should be particularly different? But what about Fan Cheng? He actually does a variety show!
Every laugh on Fan Cheng's program on TV is like a slap in the face of fans! The so-called rock singer should not be this kind of guy who pleases the audience and is full of worldliness!
In addition to "Red", the other rock songs on the album are equally lovely.
Xjapan's "Say Anything" was also included on the album, along with "MARIONETTE" by Booy (the o in the middle with a slash symbol in the middle), "The Fruit of Summer" by Southern All Stars, and even "Don't anna Lie" by B'z...... These classic songs were all stuffed into Fan Cheng's album.
I have to say that Fan Cheng has an advantage over other time-travelers that he has a variety of classic songs in the entire Japanese music scene, even if it is just about rock, Yutaka Ozaki, Xjapan, B'z, Nantian Stars, ZARD, GLAY...... When choosing songs, he only needs to choose two songs for each group, and there are countless classics.
X is different from Fan Xiaoqian, Fan Cheng will not do any publicity at all, he still promoted it when X released a single before, and now he and X themselves have enough appeal and topicality.
So after getting the album right, Fan Cheng went to do something else, and Fan Xiaoqian began to plan with Wen Zhen and Qin Ruoxue to perform in Europe, the invitation from Europe has come down, and the three of them are very much looking forward to performing in Europe, they are still children strictly speaking, and everyone is looking forward to the opportunity to travel to Europe at their own expense.
And Fan Cheng also gave them a few new songs as new songs to perform in Europe.
In addition to the still electronic music, there are two songs that are not electronic music......
Fan Xiaoqian was completely frightened when she got these two songs.
"Third uncle, you didn't take the wrong song for X, did you?" the girl asked in surprise.
Because the songs she hears are not electronic, nor are they the pop that she often sings, but rock, and it is rock that may be more exaggerated than X!
Well...... This can be regarded as Fan Cheng's prank, the new rock songs he gave to Fan Xiaoqian and the three are "Red Moon" and "THE ONE" from BABYMETAL.
Fan Xiaoqian couldn't understand why she got such a song at first, but after trying to sing it with Wen Zhen and Qin Ruoxue, she couldn't help but say, "These two songs...... Singing a good ...... It's so enjoyable!"
"yes, we don't know rock 'n' roll, but it's a good song, but ...... Is it really okay for us to sing?" Qin Ruoxue couldn't help but ask.
Wen Zhen also cast a worried eye, there is no women's rock above the level in Huaxia, and even the most common pop rock is almost non-existent, and even in the mainstream eyes, girls can't make classic rock works.
"Don't worry, it's just two songs, if the effect in Europe is good, of course it's good, even if it's not good, it doesn't matter, but you, can you sing the taste of this song?" asked Fan Cheng.
"Hmph, Third Uncle, don't you believe me?" Fan Xiaoqian quit, she had no interest in or concept of her singing ability before, but after debuting for a period of time and having enough professional training, she already has a more intuitive concept of her singing ability.
"It turned out that I used to wonder why those singers couldn't sing a lot of things, not because they didn't want to, but because they really couldn't sing, it turned out that singing was such a difficult thing for others......"
It's just standing and talking without back pain......
Not to mention other singers, even Wen Zhen, who is very close, will probably pinch her neck with hatred if she hears it......
Gifted guys just don't make sense......
Although Fan Cheng was not invited to appear in Europe, the invitation to release music works in Europe was accepted by Fan Cheng.
Although Oriental music is not welcomed in Europe, Fan Cheng's electronic music is enough to attract a lot of attention in Europe, and Fan Cheng is not only going to do electronic music, he also has some pure music works to be published in Europe.
Although these are not impossible to publish in the mainland, there is no market for pure music in the mainland, and only works that have aroused interest in Europe can be exported to domestic sales and attract the attention of China.
This is actually very normal, Europe's economy is leading, so the development of modern culture is faster than that of the East, and this situation is also very common in Japan, and the YMO works in Fan Cheng's electronic music works have not been paid attention to at all after they were released in Japan, and they became completely popular in Europe.
Now the situation in China, everyone knows that the mysterious electronic music is Fan Cheng's work, but there is no complete concept of what the level of this music is, everyone thinks that Fan Cheng has taken shit luck to become popular in Europe, and it is estimated that when Fan Cheng really makes the electronic music album and becomes crazy in Europe, these people will suddenly be surprised and stand up to say that Fan Cheng has won glory for the country.
In addition to electronic music, Fan Cheng also has a lot of music works that are planned for release in Europe.
For example, Chinese-style music.
This kind of music made by Japanese musicians is famous all over the world, and although it looks like Chinese style, the difference between Chinese style and Japanese style is not very clear in the international community.
If possible, Fan Cheng of course wanted to go to Europe with Fan Xiaoqian and the three of them, but unfortunately he didn't have the time, and the preparation of the three films and the training of the new director Feng Leilei used up most of his energy.
The popularity of "101 Marriage Proposals" across the country has also brought great pressure to Feng Leilei, "The Story of Seven Men and Women in Summer", as a successor drama, will inevitably bear the critical attention of the national audience, and she is the director of this drama.
Feng Leilei also recently learned why Fan Cheng dared to let her be a director.
In Fan Cheng's system, how well the TV series is filmed really has little to do with the director's level.
The script has clearly defined most of the things to be done for filming, and she just needs to follow the meticulous script and do everything that needs to be done.
It's like the ideas she came up with when Fan Cheng interviewed her before, she felt that the script was not very suitable, and the places that needed to be modified, etc., although Fan Cheng read them very carefully, but there were almost none of them that were really used.
Fortunately, although Fan Cheng denied those ideas, at least he was still taking Feng Leilei seriously, because almost every idea that was abandoned by Fan Cheng had a specific reason, so Feng Leilei not only didn't hate Fan Cheng but was even grateful to him, she could see that Fan Cheng was indeed teaching her seriously, hoping that she could become a good director, otherwise he wouldn't have to be so dedicated to her at all.
Fan Cheng is also quite satisfied with Feng Leilei's performance, this is a girl who works very hard to be a director, although her talent is not amazing, but at least the director's skills are very solid, coupled with her pretty good looks, she will definitely become a beautiful director in the face of the company in the future.
As for the drama itself, there is nothing to say, the six actors Fan Cheng found are actually similar to Feng Leilei, they are all the kind of actors who can be appointed about a month in advance, and the schedule is quite easy, so the acting skills and experience are very average, but idol dramas, especially young and entertaining idol dramas, naturally do not have much requirements for acting skills, basically as long as they can meet the needs of filming, the key is a good atmosphere of cooperation, a group of young people's space, everyone is working very hard, and the shooting atmosphere is very positive。
Then there is the preparation of the movie.
The first thing to prepare for filming is "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Space", and Wen Zhenhui will be the heroine of this movie.
This film is an undoubted classic in Fan Cheng's time and space, and this work has gone through countless remakes, from various versions of movies, TV series, to cartoons, animated films, adaptations...... Basically, as long as every few years, a version of "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" will appear on the market.
After the three girls went to Europe to perform, Fan Cheng started the selection of roles for the film.
This movie is still a youth film as a whole, so the actors are still centered on young actors around twenty years old, but this time looking for actors is much more free than looking for TV drama artists before, and now they are looking for movie actors, and the influence of the big screen is much greater than that of the small screen.
The appeal of the movie is so great, this is still in the circle of film actors, when Fan Cheng released the news that he could consider the recognition of TV drama actors, the reaction in the relevant circles in Beijing was even greater.
There are some interesting differences between the Chinese entertainment industry and Japan in this regard, in the Chinese circle, at least at this stage, the difference between film actors and TV actors is very large, and only a small number of artists can take care of both aspects of the performance.
For TV actors, the expectations for movie appearances are almost all-round, compared with TV, movies from forced to influential, income is an all-round jump, but the back gap between the two is also very deep, TV actors are habitually dramatized, exaggerated acting skills have no market in movies, TV actors are not unclear about the difficulties in their acting skills, but it is clear that it is not easy to improve their acting skills.
Needless to mention talented actors, such actors were directly discovered and acted in movies, and most of the remaining people are lacking in talent, in addition to having to settle down to temper, a suitable director and a leader in acting skills are also very needed, and a suitable stage for them to play is equally important.
Fan Cheng's movie seems to everyone to be a new opportunity to play a role in tempering and growing.
The difference between film and television also exists in other departments other than actors, such as directing, screenwriting, photography, and even the overall operation of the company, although Fan Cheng has shocked people's jaws almost every time he makes a shot so far, but this time no one is optimistic about him, or rather, no one even cares about him, because this time he is an investment rather than a director.
What everyone pays more attention to is the director's side.
is different from TV series, Fan Cheng is a screenwriter on the movie side, and the influence he can provide is very small.
TV drama directors may still be controlled by Fan Cheng for money and life, in terms of directors, domestic directors are still quite backbone, if Fan Cheng wants to control the filming as a screenwriter, I am afraid that there will be no famous directors to participate at all.
Thankfully, he wasn't prepared to take control.
The three films are the tuition fees he paid for his own films, and he wants to learn to be a director through these three films, rather than learning how to control the crew as a screenwriter.
The three movies, with a total investment of tens of millions, are probably the only ones in China who dare to take three works as their "tuition".
