Chapter 116: Lu Ming's Story
After "Painting Heart" became popular, more and more film and television companies were looking for Fang Xing and Li Caiwei to sing the theme song of film and television.
However, Fang Xing doesn't accept all projects, it still depends on whether these film and television dramas have strength.
To put it simply, it looks like the theme song project of a bad movie, so I won't accept it.
Although on earth, there has always been a tradition of bad movies coming out of the divine comedy.
The so-called bad movie out of the divine comedy does exist.
However, there is actually no causal relationship between bad movies and the Divine Comedy.
As long as you think about it a little, you will find that the so-called bad movies are out of the gods, and this bad movie is usually a big production.
The real causal relationship is not the Divine Comedy of bad movies, but the Divine Comedy of big productions.
The investment in big productions is large, and the money spent on the theme song is naturally more.
You get what you pay for, it's inevitable.
In addition, big productions represent not only money, but also the connections of investors, and they can invite the strongest producers.
For example, "Chrysanthemum Terrace" and "Golden Armor".
These two songs, if it is a small investment movie, will definitely not be able to win.
Therefore, big productions can get the Divine Comedy.
Once this big production happens to be a bad movie, then the phenomenon of bad movies coming out of the magic comedy is formed.
……
Now what will happen to Lanxing's "Liaozhai's Painted Skin" after it is released, Fang Xing doesn't know.
However, from the perspective of actors, the female lead actor Zhou Wei has absolute strength as a movie queen, and the male lead actor is also an actor who focuses on performance, and rarely participates in variety shows to brush his face.
Judging from the cast, I don't know if it will be a big hit, but it shouldn't be too bad.
The trailer cooperated with "Painted Heart", and the performance was also very good.
At least Fang Xing watched this trailer and wanted to go to the cinema to watch it.
When Jade Bird Media was most violently promoting the movie, "Painted Heart" has always occupied the first place on the hot song list, and did not give SPK's new songs a chance.
Two and a half weeks after "Painting Heart" dominated the list, the popularity value began to decline normally.
Even if the popularity value starts to fall, according to this trend, it should still be able to stay at the top of the hot song chart for a week.
However, SPK, which has been suppressed for more than two weeks, does not think so.
SPK fans have been pressed on their heads by "Painted Heart" for more than two weeks, and it can be said that they have been holding back their anger and have nowhere to vent.
There is an advantage of fans hitting the list, that is, they can be collected and released freely.
Unlike ordinary listeners, who think a song is good, they open a membership single loop for a few days.
Therefore, the popularity value of a song, under normal circumstances, will show a parabolic law, and after the popularity value reaches its peak, it will slowly decline.
Especially for best-selling data, when the majority of listeners have already bought it, the growth of sales data will be slower and slower.
It's different for fans to hit the list, a few weeks ago, I found that the opponent was too strong, so I endured it first, and waited for the opponent's heat to pass, and then restarted.
When the popularity of "Painted Heart" came to the middle and late part of the parabola, "Sexy" suddenly began to exert force.
SPK's fans began to hit the charts fiercely, and the popularity value of "Sexy" began to soar, and the popularity value changed, showing an irregular curve.
"Sexy" took three days to surpass "Painted Heart" again and returned to the top of the hot song list.
This time.
Chaoyin Culture didn't buy the draft anymore, saying that "Sexy" beat "Painting Heart" to the top of the hot song list.
However, I can't stand the fans from being self-congratulatory, and on Weibo and Douyin M short videos, all kinds of boasts:
[Look, it's the real strength that laughs to the end.] 】
[I knew how SPK could lose to the theme song of a movie. 】
[It's comfortable, how arrogant I woke up before, it's okay now.] No matter how crazy he was, he was still defeated at the feet of Si Qi. 】
[When the tide recedes, you will know who is swimming. 】
[The era of SPK dominating the charts has come, what is the surrounding area of "Nocturne" dominating the charts? Sexy will show you what horror is. 】
……
It has been a month since the finals of "Rising Star".
After the finals, the members of the Flame faction went their separate ways.
Some signed with a brokerage company, some returned to their original brokerage company, and some continued to study.
Fang Xing and Lu Ming, Shao Yu, and Guo Keda have a good relationship.
Take time out every week to get together.
It's usually Guo Keda, a social, who is responsible for saving the game.
Every weekend, Guo Keda shouts in the group:
Guo Keda: Come out and rub it off, Xintiandi has opened a barbecue, super delicious, let's go tomorrow night.
Guo Keda: The captain has already promised to come out, so hurry up and sign up.
Fang Xing: When did I say yes?
Guo Keda: How about agreeing now?
Fang Xing: Okay.
Shao Yu: I have work tomorrow, so I can be a little late, but I will definitely arrive.
Lu Ming: I also participated.
Guo Keda: Do you want me to bring a few girls over?
Fang Xing: Don't!
Shao Yu: Don't!
Lu Ming: Don't!
……
Saturday at seven p.m.
Guo Keda booked a compartment at the newly opened Gollum Barbecue in Donghai Xintiandi.
Fang Xing and Lu Ming arrived in a few minutes at seven o'clock.
Shao Yu was half an hour late, and the three of them had already started eating.
Guo Keda ordered a beer, but he was the only one who drank it.
Fang Xing, Shao Yu, and Lu Ming only drank juice.
Guo Keda said while eating: "Captain, yesterday SPK's group of cubs topped "Sexy" to the top of the hot song list again, and fans began to jump on Weibo again. ”
Fang Xing didn't care about this, and replied casually: "I don't even read Weibo, whatever they do." ”
Guo Keda answered: "Also, "Painting Heart" has taken SPK down, and now it is useless to crowdfund the list." ”
Lu Ming ate in silence all the time and didn't speak much.
Guo Keda hit him with his arm and asked, "What about Lu Ming?" How are you? Have you signed a company? ”
"Also...... Not yet. Lu Ming's interest was not very high.
"Is there a brokerage company looking for you?" Guo Keda asked.
"I've looked for a few companies, but I haven't decided whether to continue my studies or sign with a brokerage company." Lu Ming never thought about this matter clearly.
He followed Fang Xing in "Rising Star", reached the finals all the way, and won the team championship in the final of the faction war.
It is true that many brokerage companies have approached him to negotiate contracts, but he is not Fang Xing after all, and it is impossible for these brokerage companies to issue platinum contracts.
Being able to give him a high-level contract is already valued as valuing.
Moreover, he was still hesitating to listen to Chen Chaonan's suggestion and go to Dongyin to learn falsetto tenor.
Guo Keda's personality has always been straightforward, and he won't think about so many things at all, and said in a relaxed tone: "If you want to go to school, go to school, and sign a company if you want to." Or you can sign a company and continue to go to school. ”
It is true that he can continue to go to school after signing with the company, but the brokerage company must hope to make a wave of money first while his popularity is still there.
Therefore, if you really sign a brokerage company, the company will definitely arrange a lot of work, and you will definitely not have time to prepare for the exam.
Fang Xing guessed the real worry in Lu Ming's heart: "You haven't thought about whether you want to specialize in the five sets of scales, right?" ”
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, obviously being right.
Guo Keda's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "You haven't thought about this yet?" There is nothing wrong with what the doctoral supervisor said, your five sets of timbre are really good, since you have this talent, why don't you practice five groups? ”
Lu Ming hesitated for a long time before he sighed: "The elders in the family hope that I can become a tenor, or baritone. ”
He has been hesitant about this matter since the first issue of "Tomorrow's Star".
Because, this thing is not what he wants to do and can do it.
In fact, he came from a musical family, and several elders in the family worked in vocal music.
Therefore, the elders of the family hope that he will successfully inherit the family heritage and achieve something in the field of vocal music.
He has always been burdened with this expectation and is persevering.
It is also for this reason that he has been studying music since he was a child, so his foundation is not bad.
In "Rising Star", one of the reasons why he was picked by Fang Xing is that his vocal foundation is really good.
Lu Ming has been very talented since he was a child, and he has always been the object of praise from his elders and school teachers.
It's just that when he was twelve or thirteen years old, his voice did not change much as expected, and his voice did not become thicker.
Not only that, but his height and body shape did not meet expectations, resulting in his lack of breath.
By the time he was sixteen or seventeen years old, his voice had not changed.
At that time, he had basically been sentenced, and it was impossible for him to become either a tenor or a baritone.
The tenor is usually C3 to C5, while the baritone is A2 to A4 flat.
However, his breath volume is not enough, his voice is not thick enough, and the dominant vocal range is not these two bands at all.
Therefore, even though I have been practicing vocal music since I was a child, I have never been able to produce results.
Therefore, the elders of the family were very disappointed in him.
Of course, his parents and elders still love him, and the family is very happy.
It's just that the elders in the family no longer put their dreams of vocal music on him.
Although his parents and elders did not blame him, he knew in his heart that he had disappointed his parents.
Because of this, he has always disliked his voice, and even has some low self-esteem, rarely showing five sets of super trebles.
When I was at school, because my voice was sharper than that of other boys, I would also receive some strange stares.
Over the years, he has been using a childlike voice, pretending to be a deep voice, singing four sets of scales, and trying to become a tenor.
However, in this way, it is actually equivalent to giving up the characteristics of his voice and using his weaknesses to fight in the most competitive male vocal group, and the result can be imagined.
For this reason, he has never achieved results in vocal music.
Until he met Fang Xing in "Tomorrow's Star".
Fang Xing gave him five sets of trebles every time he was staged, without exception.
It is also because of these five sets of high-pitched songs that they have brought him great popularity.
However, he still couldn't pass that level in his heart.
He always hopes to be recognized by the elders in his family and to be what they think he is.
This time.
Inside the Gollum barbecue restaurant, the song "There Are Lovers in the World" sounded.
It is the stage of "Tomorrow's Star", Fang Xing, Lu Ming, and Shao Yu.
Because "Tomorrow's Star" is still very popular, the TV in many store halls will play songs from "Tomorrow's Star" from time to time.
Fang Xing looked out of the cubicle, looked at the picture in the TV in the hall, and said, "Actually, you really don't need to be so entangled. Since you care so much about what the elders in your family think, why don't you know to ask them? ”
Guo Keda echoed: "Yes, call back directly and ask, if there is anything that the family can't ask, are they not good to you?" ”
Lu Ming hurriedly shook his head: "No, the elders in the family are very good to me, in fact, I grew up in a very happy family, but I can never forget the kind of eyes they looked at me when they were children, that kind of earnest eyes, like putting their dreams on me." ”
"What bullshit dreams? No one has the responsibility to carry other people's dreams and move forward with a heavy burden. Not even if they're your parents. Grab your phone, call them and tell them what you think. Guo Keda said and went straight to get started and snatched Lu Ming's mobile phone.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Lu Ming hurriedly grabbed his phone.
"Do you want to fight? If you don't fight, I'll fight for you. "Guo Keda has always been so straightforward, he never thinks so much, and he just does it when he has something.
Lu Ming hesitated for a while, turned around to look at the TV screen in the hall, listened to his five groups of super treble chanting in his ears, and finally mustered up the courage and took the mobile phone: "Okay, I'll call." ”
He dialed his grandfather's phone.
The phone was connected, and a rich, vicissitudes of voice came: "Lu Ming, have you eaten?" At this point, it's time to eat, right? ”
"Grandpa, I was having dinner with my friends and suddenly missed you a little, so I called you." Lu Ming began to talk about homely things.
"You must remember to eat, eat carefully, hang out with friends, and drink as little as possible." The old man's advice came from the other end of the phone.
"Got it." Lu Ming agreed.
"Usually you don't call back at this point, what's wrong today?" The old man could feel his grandson's emotions.
"Grandpa, I want to ask you something." Lu Ming didn't know how to speak again and again.
"If you have something, just say, is the money spent?" The old man asked.
"No, I want to ask...... Have you and your parents watched my show? It's that "Rising Star". Lu Ming didn't ask the last question directly, but started with the show first.
On the other end of the phone.
An old man in good spirits suddenly sat up from the sofa, picked up the remote control on the coffee table, turned down the sound of the TV, and muttered in his heart: The sound is so small? Can you still hear it?
"Grandpa, if you haven't seen it, forget it." Lu Ming wanted to retreat again.
"Oh, the show. See, you're doing well in there, and so are your teammates. The old man praised.
Lu Ming showed a surprised expression and asked, "Don't you think I sing badly?" ”
The old man was very honest and commented: "It's not comparable to your captain, your captain is not normal, and many middle-aged singers are not at his level." However, you and the one named Shao Yu are not bad, he is a few years older than you and a little more stable than you. However, you sing the high voice, which is really good. ”
When Lu Ming heard this evaluation, his eyes widened immediately, and he was surprised: "Grandpa, don't you object to me singing falsetto?" ”
The old man fell silent and asked suspiciously, "Why do you think so?" ”
"You ...... Always wished I was a baritone, or a tenor. Lu Ming's mood fluctuated a lot.
"No one's life is destined from birth, if you like baritone and tenor, then you go for it, but what you can achieve in the future, as long as you like it. If you like falsetto tenors, go for it. Grandpa never said that you must learn something......"
When the old man said this, he was silent for a long time before adding: "Moreover, the doctoral supervisor of the Donghai Conservatory of Music is indeed right, your falsetto tenor talent is very good, as long as you continue to practice, you will have a higher achievement than the tenor." ”
Lu Ming's breathing began to become rapid, and he asked in disbelief: "So, do you agree with me to switch to falsetto?" ”
"Since you were eighteen years old, grandpa didn't ask you to do anything, as long as you like it, you go to learn, what's there to hesitate about?" The old man encouraged.
"I know, I want to take the vocal singing major of Dongyin, and I want to sing falsetto tenor." After Lu Ming learned the thoughts of the elders in the family, he no longer had any hesitation and strengthened the thoughts in his heart.
At this meal, everyone ate very happily.
helped Lu Ming untie a knot.
After Lu Ming hung up the phone, Shao Yu also added: "Didn't you hear it?" ”
"Hear what?" Lu Ming's face was full of doubts.
Shao Yu and Fang Xing glanced at each other.
Fang Xing said: "You should be too nervous to call the elders, in fact, when the phone was first connected, there was a piece of music on the other end, which was from "Chiling".
"The sound was audible at first, but it gradually became quieter. In other words, your grandfather was watching our show at the time, and when he received a call, he turned down his voice. ”
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment.
He was talking to his elders on the phone, and he was about to talk about something so serious, he was so anxious that he didn't have the heart to pay attention to the music on the other end of his phone.
