Chapter 109: If You're a Girl
How did a newcomer in the entertainment industry become famous and popular?
I believe everyone will give different answers, and the most familiar episode is, of course, an overnight success, because of a certain song, starring in a supporting role in a certain TV series, and shooting a certain advertisement...... Even just because someone happened to take a photo or upload a video on the Internet, it attracted countless attention, and accumulated a high popularity in a short period of time, and there are more than one or two such examples.
In his previous life, Xiao Yulan was also surprised and envious of this situation, but later his thinking matured and his experience gradually enriched, and he realized that many of the myths of overnight fame were the result of having capital as the driving force behind the scenes, careful operation, and active momentum.
Of course, such commercial operations are not necessarily successful, and there are many cases of failure. In fact, more newcomers in the entertainment industry have endured a lot of hardships, worked hard, and tried their best to seize every opportunity, and worked out step by step from the bottom, most of the big names in the entertainment industry in the early years were like this.
In today's era when traffic is king and eyeball economy is supreme, small fresh meat with no ability is flooding the media screen, but there are still a lot of newcomers who need to gradually accumulate popularity and work hard to get ahead.
Xiao Yulan feels that she is closer to the latter, although after she opened the live broadcast, her popularity in the online media has risen all the way and her reputation has become bigger and bigger, but she thinks that she is not an Internet celebrity who simply eats by her face, and her mind and ability are not inferior to those senior celebrities with outstanding strength, so it is completely reasonable to say so.
According to the latest evaluation results of Liu Yunfei's analysis team, she can now be said to be completely out of the novice stage, and she is already a star between the first and second tiers, and her popularity is steadily increasing.
Liu Yunfei has some regrets that this sister is still a high school student, so she really doesn't have much time to use, otherwise to play an important role in a TV series, it is estimated that it will not be too much of a problem to become a first-line star now.
After the shooting of the pajama advertisement was completed, it was already noon, Miao Yueqing arranged a working lunch, invited the manufacturer's representatives to dine with the staff, and Hardeman smiled and agreed.
The working lunch is just a name, in fact, in the luxury private room of a five-star hotel, there are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, for such high-quality cooperative customers, Xingyuan Sisters Film Company will certainly not be stingy.
During this period, Hardeman was soft and hard, and asked for Xiao Yulan's contact information from Miao Yueqing, but for well-known reasons, he was not good at using WeChat, and Goddess Lan would not use the "must die" social software, which has a high popularity among crooked nuts. Therefore, some of his careful thoughts are destined to be fruitless.
“…… Does this guy have an idea for you? ”
On the way back, Xiao Yulan asked bluntly. That guy looked at Liu Yunfei's eyes very wrong, and everyone could understand it.
"I met last year, but it's actually just a one-sided relationship, of course, this guy is a little self-inflicted, and he is almost annoyed by changing his ways."
Liu Yunfei touched her greasy and tender face, and said with a smile: "It's just that at present, it seems that he has locked the main strategy target on you, maybe in the future, sister and I can finally be cleaner." ”
"Not necessarily, he must be planning to do both, right? Anyway, isn't that what men are all about? Eat what is in the bowl and look at what is in the pot! ”
Xiao Yulan's tone mocked, this kind of guy who feels good about himself too much should be blocked directly, anyway, the advertising contract has been fulfilled, and it is naturally good not to communicate in the future.
"That's not necessarily, people's economic strength is quite strong, and the kung fu of pestering people is quite good, maybe there will be some ingenious confession rituals to be used on you soon." Goddess Fei looked at her playfully.
"I'd like to see what he's up to, and he doesn't expect any chance of getting what he wants unless he uses the army to take me away."
Xiao Yulan didn't care, no matter what form of confession, the ultimate goal is the same, borrowing Detective Conan's classic line "There is only one truth". Knowing the men's thoughts, would they be fooled stupidly? That is, it is self-inflicted, and it cannot live.
Back at the company, Xiao Yulan took a break and went to the recording studio to prepare to record his new song.
The so-called recording studio is a special recording place built to create a specific recording environment and acoustic conditions, which can be used to record movies, songs, music, etc., and the acoustic characteristics of the recording studio play a very important role in the quality of recording production and its products.
As a well-known predator in the entertainment industry in China, the hardware facilities of Xingyuan Sisters Film Art are of course top-notch, and there is a professional team of music producers on standby at any time.
When Xiao Yulan first walked into this place, he was very surprised, with a huge mixer, countless buttons, the strangely shaped sound-absorbing panels on the walls, the huge glass window between the control room and the recording studio, and a large number of audio, microphones, musical instruments, mixing consoles and other equipment.
Speaking of which, songs on music websites, theme songs and interludes in movies and TV series, background music in large games, etc., have to be processed by the recording studio to a greater or lesser extent before they can be met with a wide audience.
Just like the beauty PS function software that is now rotten on the street, after the processing of this place, even a broken gong voice can give you a natural sound, so many singers whose singing skills are not very good are not very good, but the quality of the album songs released is not bad.
But if it is a live concert, the voices of many stars will be "exposed", so that the majority of fans and fans will hear the point of doubting life. Why are there so many "lip-syncing" incidents in the entertainment industry? It's because those celebrities can't do their live singing skills, so they can only learn Mr. Nan Guo's tricks of indiscriminately.
The process of recording songs is a little boring, and the feeling is obviously different from singing in KTV, first of all, the most obvious point is that the voice you hear in the monitor headphones is very different from the voice you usually hear, which is due to the special acoustic environment of the recording studio, and all the equipment used in the recording. To put it simply, I found that my voice was dry, there was no reverberation, and there was no echo. Most singers feel more or less depressed and nervous after staying in the studio for a long time, because the studio lighting is generally dim and the environment is relatively closed, and the dim lighting helps the recording engineer and singer to focus on the sound.
When recording in the studio, any change in the pitch, rhythm, breath, and emotion of the singer will be recorded in great detail, which is why many singers feel that they are not singing well and their voices are not good when they first record, which in turn affects their mood and state. However, experienced and excellent singers can basically overcome these unfavorable factors and complete the recording efficiently.
After the recording is completed, the post-production process will modify the deficiencies in the singer's singing, make up for the outstanding points, and strengthen the excellent points, so as to obtain a natural sound that far exceeds the normal level.
Outside the glass curtain wall, Miao Yueqing turned on the live broadcast camera, the camera focused on Xiao Yulan in the recording room, Liu Yunfei sat on the sofa not far away, nearly half of the company's senior management and all professional musicians were present, and even many star artists who had no work were curious to follow over to observe the scene.
There is no other reason, just because the talent of the girl in music and songwriting, just like her stunning appearance, can only be described as demonic, and all kinds of high-quality original songs are at your fingertips, so that those senior gold medal composers are only ashamed to be ashamed of themselves, and feel that they have lived to a dog at a young age.
Elegant and agile singing echoes in the room:
Otherwise, you'll be a girl for a day
Know me firsthand
Why laugh
The ins and outs of every tear
Love what I love, understand my sorrows
Talk fair
Balanced love
If you're a girl
……
The name of this song is "If You Were a Girl", which is naturally original in this world, and it is sung in Xiao Yulan's flawless soft voice, so that all the women present have a feeling of "I am related to my heart", and the men showed a thoughtful look.
Human gender is predestined by birth, and it is basically difficult to change the acquired nature. Don't talk about sex reassignment surgery, the level of technology in today's era can't completely change a person's gender.
Those who have undergone sex reassignment surgery only look different in appearance and remain their original sex on a genetic level. It may take many years for sex reassignment surgery to be truly available.
"If you're a girl...... If I were a girl, I guess I'd be devastated, right? A male sound engineer muttered.
"yes, it's really troublesome to be a girl."
"It's not an ordinary trouble, and it's hard work."
"It's understandable, but it's not easy to be a boy either, and the pressure is great......"
"Having said that, just in the case of choice, I believe that everyone is still willing to choose to be a boy, after all, this is a patriarchal society, and the advantages of men are still obvious."
"It's as if girls don't have an advantage."
"Don't understand, do you? Those privileges are only available to beautiful girls, but most girls' looks and figures are mediocre, how to fix them? ”
"That's right, the world in the eyes of Tu Feiyuan and Bai Fumei is completely different, if I can also have the appearance and body of Goddess Lan, I will wake up with a smile when I dream, right?"
……
Liu Yunfei glanced at Miao Yueqing and asked coldly: "If you have a choice, do you want to be a man or a woman?" ”
The beautiful agent thought about it seriously: "It should be ...... Be a man, right? But you have to be handsome, and you have to be rich, otherwise the pressure will be really great. ”
"Hehe, as long as you have good skin and money, whether it is a man or a woman, you will have a very comfortable life, right?"
"That's right, it seems that gender is not the key, but beauty and money are the key!"
"That's right, that's the right ......"
