Chapter 875: Liu Yifei's arrival
Although the stage is not big, it is very gorgeous, and all kinds of effects are very good, and the current rehearsal is just to let Yang Lin and those accompanying dancers get familiar with the venue as soon as possible, and don't have stage fright when the time comes. The large venue of 120,000 people, performing in the audience, and hundreds of millions of people around the world watching simultaneously, is not an exaggeration to say that this is the largest stage in the world. The Grammys also don't have that much audience and don't have that much influence.
"Actually, you can be a little more daring and unrestrained here." Director Alex gestured with his hands, he felt that Yang Lin couldn't let go of the stage, and some of his movements were relatively conservative. There are strong songs, but they are weaker in provoking the atmosphere of the scene.
Yang Lin looked at the band behind him, then at the previous dance teacher, and asked, "What should I do to be more unrestrained?" "As an Oriental, although his concerts in China are very popular, there are different standards for Americans.
Alex frowned, then said to the sound engineer, "Put on the music, I'll give you a signal." He snapped his fingers, then twisted his waist, pointed to his crotch, and said, "The range of movement is larger, you have to look handsome and sexy back." You're already so handsome, what are you worried about! ”
Scratching his head for a moment, Alex stopped, "Looks, eyes are important. Do you have electric eyes? Raise eyebrows at the camera or the audience, discharge electricity, and the most important thing is not to be at a loss on your face. ”
Yang Lin knows these words very well, his stage experience is not too rich, but there is no audience below, and he can't feel the feeling of singing. He's a live singer, and the more people there are. The crazier he is. There was a feeling that someone was going crazy.
Adapted songs are mixed with dance. One by one, the dancers took turns to add luster to Yang Lin's performance.
"Does singing and dancing affect the quality of your music? Why don't we change it a little bit? Alex took off the headphones, he had just listened to Yang Lin's rehearsal and found a problem, that is, the instability of his breath.
When singing live, many singers will have things like broken voices and out of tune, but Yang Lin didn't. The only problem is that there is too much panting, which seems to be a bit bad. If you use pre-recording, you can avoid these embarrassing situations. The quality of the performance is very guaranteed.
Yang Lin sat on the chair and took a sip of warm water to nourish his throat. The performance just now is really difficult, from the heart-rending shout to the affectionate narration, the confession of being alone, the style is changeable, and the control is very demanding.
He understood what the director meant, that is, let him lip-sync after recording first, and then lip-sync at that time, and this kind of performance is almost in this style. No one wants to take the risk of going wrong in front of the whole world.
The breast-revealing incident between Justin Timberlake and Jenny Jackson in the Super Bowl put a lot of pressure on the two of them. If Yang Lin made a mistake when singing, or was not as powerful as the performers in previous years. He will be revived.
"How did you think about it? In fact, you also know that such occasions are generally used in lip-synching, don't have a psychological burden, isn't the 1993 Michael Jackson Super Bowl halftime performance that was boasted on the Internet also lip-synching? Elvis, The Beatles, and Madonna are all lip-synching, not less than you. Alex sat beside Yang Lin and instructed him carefully.
Although the director had good intentions, Yang Lin was unwilling to accept it. He shook his head and said categorically, "No, I need to try it and challenge myself." It's not like I haven't performed in front of the whole world, but last year's Olympics were probably more crowded! Don't worry, it's about my future development, and I'm sure I'm not kidding! ”
From hesitation to categorical and decisive refusal, Yang Lin only took a few seconds. There is no other reason, but the system has released a long-lost task.
"Ding", the long-lost task prompt sound made Yang Lin's whole person excited, he hadn't gotten the task of the system for a long time, even if he entered the star cultivation system, it was nothing more than to check his attributes, and even his skills were rarely used.
If the system wasn't still working normally, he would have begun to wonder if the star cultivation system had hibernated. After the crisp and pleasant prompt sound, it is "Congratulations to the host for triggering the phased task: three performances without lip-syncing, 75% audience satisfaction and 75% media satisfaction." Reward: One actor in a Hollywood Class A production movie, randomly matched. ”
Silently closed his eyes, others thought that Yang Lin was closing his eyes to recuperate, so they were quiet, worried about disturbing him. But Yang Lin was extremely excited in the star cultivation system, he didn't plan to lip-synch, this task just increased his determination to perform really, and there was a reward after the performance, how good it was!
In Hollywood, filmmaking can be roughly divided according to the cost of input. A-level production is a movie with big stars, big directors, and big investment, with a long shooting cycle, careful post-production, and overwhelming publicity before release. The A-level production here requires a minimum investment of $100 million.
Last year, "The King of Kung Fu" starring Liu Yifei was claimed to be A-grade in China, but Americans could see at a glance that it was a B-level production, and it was definitely not the result of hundreds of millions of dollars of filming. So there will be a disadvantage in the scheduling of movie theaters.
Yang Lin is known as the hottest newcomer in Hollywood, but in essence, there is nothing to speak of. From "Transformers" to "Raiders of the Lost Ark", to "Inception", which really starred, he has always been on Class A productions. He needs to use the rest of the movies to prove his ability to attract money so that he can gain a foothold in the commercially oriented Hollywood.
Yang Lin has nothing to worry about the conditions proposed by the system to complete the task. Needless to say, the quality of the songs could have aroused the enthusiasm of the audience, and it was easy to have a chorus or something like that. No matter how bad it is, he can also use systematic singing skills, such as the sound of nature.
The use of points, which used to be very expensive, is no longer worth mentioning on the spot, but with the increase of his fans, the points have also increased accordingly, and now more than 30,000 points can already do a lot of things, such as redeeming a pretty good movie.
"That's all for today's rehearsal, and it will continue tomorrow. We still have plenty of time. You'd better think again about my proposal when you go back, I'll give it to your agent. Alex still hadn't given up on Yang Lin's idea of lip-syncing, he was continuing.
Yang Lin put on his sunglasses and replied, "OK! I'll definitely think about it. ”
Now he is in a hurry, because the leader of the family has been on the plane for a long time, maybe he has already arrived at the airport in Los Angeles at this time, and if he goes late, he will probably be bullied.
"Hurry up, wait for Sissi's plane to land. Let's go over early and wait. Yang Lin kept urging Zhang Qian and He Hong. After closing the door, the Mercedes-Benz car started quickly and rushed out like black lightning.
"She's finally willing to come over, and she's definitely coming to spy on you." He Hong leaned against the window, grinning and teasing Yang Lin, she sniffed: "Don't be too fast, pay attention to safety!" ”
Yang Lin put his hands on the steering wheel, his eyes stared ahead, the roar of the car made the people around him look sideways, this Mercedes-Benz was like a nimble fish, constantly overtaking on the road. If you look at it from above, this is the real chase, which is much more exciting than in the movie.
"It's okay, aren't you worried about my technology? Occupational! Yang Lin said as he lightly stepped on the accelerator and then hit the steering wheel to the left.
Zhang Qian rarely took a break, he rubbed his temples with his right hand, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he also joked: "Sissi came over just to help us reduce the burden." Spying on Yang Lin is just a matter of the two of them being willing to fight and the other to suffer. ”
The sky was getting darker, and tiny snowflakes began to fall in the sky. After slowing down, Yang Lin was a little anxious, what if she stayed there alone and couldn't find anyone? What if you're surrounded by reporters or other people? What if I meet the bad guys? He selectively forgot that Liu Yifei was already independent.
At half past seven in the evening, I finally arrived at the airport. Yang Lin equipped his scarf and sunglasses, lest he not receive Liu Yifei but was recognized by the rainforest and surrounded. The brightly lit hall was crowded with people, and everyone was waiting anxiously.
"Yang Lin?" A beautiful woman with golden hair looked at Yang Lin in amazement, she covered her mouth with her hand in disbelief, then her cheeks turned crimson, and she stumbled and said, "I like you very much, can I take a picture with you with my mobile phone?" ”
I didn't expect my camouflage skills to be so poor, and I was immediately identified by others. The quality of American fans is very good, although she is very excited, but she restrained herself, and waited until Yang Lin said: "OK! No problem, just look it now, so as not to be recognized by others. ”
After taking two photos with the foreign beauty's mobile phone, Yang Lin waited for the two people who went to buy coffee to come back. He covered his face with a scarf and asked suspiciously, "Can you recognize me at once?" ”
Although he was reluctant to hit him, He Hong looked at Yang Lin's dress, he used a light blue-gray shirt as the base, from hats to trousers, and chose different materials to wear different degrees of black on his body, with the rock style of a musician, the rigor of a business person, and of course, the fashion style of a fashion person, a coquettish bowler hat, a brown belt, and big-toed boots on his feet. This kind of dress is very eye-catching, and it looks like a man has a strong masculine atmosphere.
As he spoke, the exit began to be noisy, and pedestrians dragging boxes came out of the passage, looking around for the person to pick up the airport.
Just because I looked at you in the crowd one more time, I couldn't forget your face.
Liu Yifei in the crowd attracted Yang Lin's attention so much, and never moved away. A white shirt with a brown striped cape and black leggings is a very common way to wear it, but it makes her unique. The plaid cape is very retro style, and the small collar shirt adds a touch of preppy style, and the fresh ladylike feeling makes her exude an elegant and mysterious atmosphere.
Catching up, taking her small box with his hand, Yang Lin gave her a tight hug, then sniffed the long-lost fragrance in her ear, and said softly: "It's so beautiful!" (To be continued......)
