Chapter 83: The Little Man's Imagination
"I heard that on the day of the recording, Mr. Li Zongheng was very fond of you, and he wanted to call you into the target team, you also have some relationship with the target team, why don't you join the target team? Why did you choose our Butterfly team? It shouldn't be like what you said, it's because Yaling was the first to turn around for you, so you chose her, right? After a brief greeting, Wu Yifan went straight to the bottom of Lin Zaishan.
"That's why, for no other reason. I am very grateful to Brother Li Zongheng for taking me so seriously, but I would like to learn more about guitar arrangement with Mr. Xiaoguan. For this competition, I relied on my old guitar and I wanted it to stay with me until the end. ”
"Did your grandfather really give you that old guitar?" Afraid that Li Xiaoni wouldn't understand, Guan Yaling specially asked.
Wu Yifan stared at Guan Yaling for the first time. He Miao and the others also glanced at Guan Yaling in surprise - how could this girl ask such a substandard question? Everyone said on the stage that it was given by his grandfather, can this be fake? Are people making up stories to deceive people? Even if it's really a story, people can't tell you!
Lin Zaishan didn't care about such trivial matters, and said to Guan Yaling with a smile: "That was indeed given to me by my grandfather, and that guitar means a lot to me." ”
Listening on the other end, Li Xiaoni inexplicably felt a trace of warmth in her heart. The Martin Qin that Mr. Lin, who had been placed in the corner, saved up for a long time to buy Lin Zaishan, is of such great significance to Lin Zaishan, it seems that this guy is really a bit of a rebirth! They all understand the love and warmth of the world.
"Do you want to use this guitar to arrange music in future competitions? Don't need another instrument? Guan Yaling discussed and asked Lin Zaishan.
"It depends, if there is a need, of course I would like to have more arranging support. The song "The Hills" I sang before was originally a very pompous arrangement. However, the music team of Oriental Channel has some conceptual differences with me in terms of arrangement and design. I didn't like it when they offered me things I didn't want, so I ended up going it alone. ”
has been in the music circle for decades, and Wu Yifan understood what Lin Zaishan meant as soon as he heard this.
Lin Zaishan is obviously complaining about the music group of Dongfang Channel, but in fact, he is saying it to the Caidie team - he is a person who does not like to be interfered too much with music.
Wu Yifan is quite fond of Lin Zaishan's personality in this regard.
Musicians should have such persistence and style, never forget their original intentions, and not let others blur your original pursuit of music.
Wu Yifan said: "In the future competition, what kind of support do you need from the Caidie team in terms of arrangement, just tell us, we will try our best to meet your requirements." If you don't have a good time talking to Ma Xiaodong's team, you can ask Yaling to communicate with them. ”
"That's good, I'll thank you a few people in advance. If necessary, I will communicate with you as soon as possible. ”
At the other end of the video, listening to Lin Zaishan communicating with others in a calm and even lower-pitched tone, Li Xiaoni was about to get goosebumps all over her body!
Is this really Lin Zaishan?
Once upon a time, this uncle used this tone to talk to others!
What the hell happened to him!
"Xiaowei, you bring Mr. Lin a copy of the competition proposition sent to us by the "Singer-Songwriter" program team in the morning."
After receiving Boss Wu's instructions, Li Wei Malier sent a document to Lin Zaishan.
The above four propositions, Lin Zaishan knew last night.
Last night, the "Singer-Songwriter" program team held a meeting, and after finalizing the PK theme of the second round, Sun Yuzhen immediately leaked these four themes to Lin Zaishan. Other contestants with company backgrounds should also know the theme of the second round of PK by now.
"These four propositions - about yourself, about ideals, the imagination of little people, and retro music style, are the propositions to be compared in the next round of PK competitions in the group, Mr. Lin, what do you think after reading it? Which proposition do you find the most difficult to do? Guan Yaling deliberately read all four propositions again, and read them to Li Xiaoni.
"Personally, I think the most difficult proposition is 'about yourself.'" Lin Zaishan explained the reason: "Using music to depict oneself is like a painter painting a self-portrait of himself." You don't know where to start, and it's hard to choose which angle to draw your self-portrait from. No matter what angle you draw it from, you may not be satisfied in the end, and you will always feel that something is missing. ”
Everyone nodded secretly, feeling that what Lin Zaishan said made sense.
Guan Yaling chatted: "It's really difficult to talk about yourself. But I think it's also difficult for the little people to imagine this proposition. ”
"It's okay for little people to imagine this proposition, this proposition is very directive, but it is easy for people to create." Lin Zaishan's belly is full of goods, and for him, the more directional the proposition, the easier it is for him to carry it accurately.
"Listen to what you mean, you seem to be very confident in the proposition of little people?" Wu Yifan was very interested in this.
"I'm not very confident, I just think this proposition is very easy to play." Lin Zaishan discussed with everyone eloquently: "In fact, each of us is a small person, who dares to say that he is a big person?" Each of us has more or less existential pains, speechless and helpless. We are often lonely and helpless because we are unable to grasp the status quo and change our destiny. Even if you are a strong person, there must be a little person in your life. This proposition is very directive, it is not like an ideal, nor is it a depiction of the self, but a state that each of us has faced or is facing. If we reflect this characteristic in our works, it is easy to resonate with people. ”
Lin Zaishan said this, which surprised everyone else.
The proposition of the little person, in the eyes of all of them, is a difficult proposition, but listening to Lin Zaishan seems to be as simple as coming easily.
Guan Yaling and Lin Zaishan discussed: "It's easy to say this truth, but it's not easy to reflect it in musical works." ”
Wu Yifan asked Lin Zaishan: "Have you ever had a similar work before?" About the little people. ”
"I really have a piece like this, which fits the theme quite well. About two years ago, I watched a Cantonese movie starring Chow Xinglang called "Clockwork Star", you should have seen it all, right? ”
"Of course I did! That film helped Zhou Xinglang win the actor in Xiacheng, super exciting! It was Li Wei who spoke, and she was a die-hard fan of Zhou Xinglang.
Lin Zaishan can also be regarded as a die-hard fan of Zhou Xinglang.
Zhou Xinglang of this plane, almost the star master of the other plane, is creating a dynasty of nonsensical Cantonese comedy, and the domineering of its comedy king is gradually leaking.
After crossing over, Lin Zaishan watched several movies of Zhou Xinglang in his spare time, and the taste was the same as that of another face star, which made him laugh every time.
Especially "A Clockwork Star" filmed by Zhou Xinglang two years ago, which is comparable to the other "King of Comedy". In addition to being nonsensical and funny, there is a kind of tragic interpretation hidden in it, which makes people laugh with tears and feel deeply.
After watching the "Clockwork Star", people in the entertainment industry will feel more or less empathetic or sympathetic.
The story is actually very simple, it is said that the male protagonist Ah Fa played by Zhou Xinglang has been in the entertainment industry for many years, but he has always been unknown, because he can't express himself, his personality is wooden, although he has a good acting talent, but he is not extroverted enough to hype himself.
Until one day, Ah Fa was put on a magical clockwork by a mad scientist, and his world began to change - as long as he twisted the clockwork, he could express himself like crazy, and his behavior was extremely pompous, and he was very eye-catching!
In this way, Ah Fa has become the focus of the entertainment industry, attracting everyone's attention, and in a short period of time, he has become the hottest star in the circle.
Life after that was exciting, but also tiring.
Finally, one day, Ah Fa felt that he didn't need to wind up anymore to stimulate himself, and he had enough status in the circle.
So, every day when he wakes up, he stops winding himself and wants to be himself again.
After recovering his true colors, Ah Fa's side of not being good at hyping himself gradually showed itself, and it didn't take long for him to fade out of the mainstream of the entertainment industry.
In the end, Ah Fa had no choice but to continue to wind himself and become exaggerated to cater to the tastes of the entertainment industry.
At the end of the film, the actor smiled wryly and wound up for his young self, and a very classic Cantonese song "Puppet" appeared in the background, and the camera gave the shadow of Ah Fa who was winding himself up from the yellow light on the wall, that scene was very ironic and evocative.
Until now, Lin Zaishan still remembers the last scene of the movie, the cold and cruel mechanical turning sound of "click" when the clockwork turns.
The soundtrack of "Puppet" sounded, and the shadow of the male protagonist vibrated on the wall, and the combination of sound and image made people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
Listening to Lin Zaishan talk about "Clockwork Star", Guan Yaling and others talked about this movie, and they musicians admired the ending song "Puppet" of the film.
This song was sung by Cantonese singer Chen Deyou, revealing an evil aura that sublimated the film to a higher level.
At the 2005 Summer City Film Awards, "Clockwork Star" won 11 awards including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor, including the Best Original Film Song Award for "Puppet".
"After watching that movie, I felt a lot, and when I was inspired, I wrote a song called "Exaggeration", which depicts the heart of the little people in the entertainment industry who want to be taken seriously but are not taken seriously."
