Chapter 140: Never Abandon
Li Tong, who opened his mouth wide at this time, said that he was not surprised, it was definitely fake!
Originally, Li Tong thought that Menjie's singing skills, even if they were not abandoned, at most they would remain at the original level, and there would not be much improvement, and he had already prepared in his heart.
When Menjie just opened his mouth to sing, Li Tong didn't feel anything, but felt that Menjie used this sweet voice very well, and it is not difficult to see that Menjie's singing skills are not wasted!
However, after that, Li Tong was surprised!
Whether it is at the turning point of the two songs, or when the tone is raised and lowered, Menjie does a very good job.
The last time I recorded 'Fairy Tale', although Menjie's singing skills were good, barely reaching the level of a second-tier singer, but when the song turned and fluctuated, it was still a little jerky, which was a relatively big flaw, and it was not easy to finally win the 'Music Billboard Best Newcomer Award in the Mainland' for Menjie.
If Menjie at that time, when recording fairy tales, could handle these details better, a mere Best Newcomer Award would definitely be a sure thing!
And now, Menjie's mastery of details, although there are still some minor flaws, but it is not as obvious as before, if it is not for decades of experience, plus delicate observation, even Li Tong, can not be found!
A second-tier singer, his singing skills have broken through to the limit, and after reaching the first-line singer, he can handle these details extremely skillfully when singing, without the slightest flaw!
Now, Menjie is not perfect in this regard, although not perfectly. But it's close. Other words......
At this time, Menjie, in terms of singing skills, is infinitely close to the first-line singers, and has reached the top state of the second-tier singers!
"Mr. Li, how am I singing? In terms of singing skills, isn't there some progress?! ”
After a while. Menjie finished singing the whole song "City Trapped in the Rain" and left the studio, looking at it with wide eyes. Li Tong, who was a little surprised, asked softly.
"Y-How did you get big?"
Doubting in his heart, Li Tong couldn't take too much care of it. Asked directly at Menjie.
"In just half a year, if you are a genius, you are diligent in practicing singing skills every day. I'm afraid it's also difficult to improve my singing skills from the level of a second-tier singer to the top level of a second-tier singer. In addition to talent and hard work, a certain amount of luck is required, as well as some opportunities to perform! ”
"And you kid, for more than half a year, you have been shooting movies, you have not recorded in the recording studio, you have no professional instructors, and you have not held concerts, how can you improve your singing skills so high? So fast? ”
"This ......"
Menjie was slightly stunned. Listening to Li Tong's words, I also felt that I had improved. It's indeed a bit against the sky.
If Menjie has been engaged in music training and practice for the past six months, it would be fine, but in the past six months, Menjie has not trained and practiced at all, and he can have such singing skills......
This, this makes those old singers who have not reached the level of first-line singers in singing skills since their debut until they officially announced their retirement from the music scene!
"Actually...... I do have a secret recipe! ”
Menjie grinned, knowing that he couldn't say it clearly, and he could only say it in a joking situation.
"What's the secret?" Li Tong was slightly stunned, but he believed Menjie, leaned over to Menjie, and asked in a low voice.
"Practice for an hour a day!"
Holding out a finger, Menjie whispered.
"An hour?"
Li Tong frowned slightly, obviously not believing what Menjie said, "Are you saying that you only practiced singing for an hour every day, and after half a year, your singing skills have reached the current level?" ”
"Yes, it's that simple!"
Nodding innocently, Menjie shrugged his shoulders, "You don't know what to do, I've been filming for more than half a year, there are no concerts, no new songs, no professional teachers to train me, in order not to let my singing skills go to waste, of course, I have to practice by myself every day!" ”
"And I'm also very busy filming, I don't have much time to practice singing every day, basically one hour a day, which is already my limit, and I don't have much time at all!"
"That's right!"
As a top musician with a high status among the Huayi brothers, you can inquire about it, and you also have a better understanding of the formation of Menjie, Zhilu Dao Menjie has always been full of schedules, and there is not much personal time at all, and it is already good to be able to spare an hour a day to practice singing, Menjie is indeed not lying.
As for what Menjie said, practicing for one hour a day will give you a great breakthrough in half a year......
"You kid, what a genius!"
Sighing slightly, Li Tong looked at Menjie with envy, "I have indeed seen many young people who are very talented in music in my life, but the most bechanting of them is still you kid!" ”
"Practice for one hour a day, half a year is less than two hundred hours, which is converted into a week, and after practicing songs for a week, you can make such progress, it's really demonic!"
"You're getting too old!"
Menjie grinned, for the older generation of actors and musicians to praise him as a genius, Menjie is no longer surprised, and naturally he will not be proud of others when they say a few words.
"But...... It's still a pity! ”
However, immediately after, Li Tong sighed slightly, and when he saw Menjie's puzzled gaze, Li Tong said slightly.
"It's a pity that you have such a good talent, if you can devote yourself to music, what will you achieve in the future...... A top king in the Chinese music scene is definitely just a starting point, even if he breaks out of Asia and becomes a world-class superstar, it is very possible! ”
"Teacher Li!"
Listening to Li Tong's words, Menjie couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Li Tong's meaning is to persuade Menjie to abandon the film and television route and devote himself to the music career.
But......
How could Menjie do that!
As a singer, releasing an album every year is already very 'prolific' and very 'diligent', just like the Asian king Jay Chou, who is currently such a rhythm.
Like other singers, even a very popular singer like Yang Kun, they all have an album every two years, which is a relatively normal one among many singers.
And Menjie, even if he wants to devote himself to the music scene, at most it is only one album a year, and there will not be much fluctuation at all.
One album a year, at most, consumes two months of Menjie's time, what do you do with the rest of the time? Concerts? Do endorsements?
Moreover, if you take a look at Menjie's skill bar, you can clearly see what direction Menjie himself is preparing to take!
C-level skill majestic temperament, C-level skill killing temperament, C-level skill decadent temperament, C-level skill paranoid temperament, a series of four C-level acting skills, it can be seen how great Menjie's efforts in acting skills are.
On the other hand, the most valuable skill on Menjie is a D-level skill Sweet Voice, which costs Menjie 300 points......
Although three months later, after Menjie's singing skills reached B-level, Menjie would exchange one or two C-level singing skills, but at that time, I am afraid that in terms of acting skills, Menjie was ready to exchange B-level skills.
It can be seen that Menjie is more inclined to which one in terms of acting skills and singing skills!
Acting skills are the foundation of Menjie, singing skills and albums are Menjie's sidelines, even if the sideline is developed well, in Menjie's heart, it is not as good as the main business!
And, most importantly, the end point of the two industries.
The end point of singing, at best, is the first king of China, record sales have swept the whole of Asia, and there will be some status in the world music scene, after all, every song is usually sung in one language.
Singing in English will not sell well in China, and singing in Chinese will not sell much better in other countries, and it is destined not to have too many fans abroad, and if a singer wants to be popular, in addition to his own singing skills, good songs are also essential.
But actors, it's different!
If a good movie is made, no matter what language you use, as long as the movie is good enough, it will be able to sweep the whole world, let many people in the world remember you, and even if it is a few decades later, it will continue to circulate.
At the same time, a good movie does not have high requirements for acting skills, not that the quality of the movie itself is good enough to be able to act well, and the requirements for the acting skills of the actors are greater.
If you are not confident in your future, you may choose the direction of the most important direction in the music industry where the impact of singing skills is not very great, but unfortunately, it is ......
Menjie himself happens to like challenges and constantly surpass himself, so the final choice, there is no doubt that the only choice is the film industry, singing, which is just a side hustle to increase points and popularity!
Menjie's dream is to be the strongest actor in the world, no matter which country he goes to, he is a well-known figure, with countless fans, comparable to the top actors in his country.
This dream can only be achieved by making a good enough movie.
"Mr. Li, this question ...... All I can say is I'm sorry! ”
Menjie grinned, "My talent in acting is even higher than singing, Zhou Xingchi, Fang Chenglong, Huang Qiusheng, Feng Xiaogang have all said so, I can't just abandon the movie, and the fans who like me!" ”
"Okay!"
sighed helplessly, although he felt a little pity, but since Menjie said so, Li Tong couldn't say anything more.
After all, this is Menjie's own choice.
"Then record the album well, you can't abandon your fans, and don't abandon your fans!"
"Of course!"
Hearing this, Menjie grinned, "My fans and fans are my dearest brothers and sisters, and it is impossible for me to abandon them in my life!" (To be continued.) )
