Chapter 124: Concert of the Stars

The crew of Tianlong Babu has finally decided on the actors, and there is still some preliminary preparation to be done.

Zhang Jizong said hello to Jiang Changsheng, and it is expected to start around August 20th, this drama is all live-action shooting, Zhang Jizong doesn't say anything else, the filming is really serious and rigorous.

The filming locations of this drama are from Yanjing to Xinchang, Yongkang, Jinhuamen, and Taohuadao in Zejiang, and then to Dali and Lijiang in Yunnan.

After entering the crew, tossing is indispensable.

Jiang Changsheng probably has more than ten days of vacation.

The twilight zone has ended, and Jiang Changsheng doesn't plan to open a new book, and he doesn't want to do a new album for the time being, and plans to lie down completely during the holidays.

He inquired about the reservoir on the outskirts of Yanjing and was going to go there for fishing.

Cultivating sentiments.

Unexpectedly, he received a call from Chen Mang, inviting him to participate in the star-studded concerts of Huaguo and Korea.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Korea, and many cultural exchange activities have been officially held, and this star concert is one of them.

Or rather, one of the most important of them.

Yangshi invited Jiang Changsheng in early July, but he refused on the grounds that he was too busy.

Now that Chen Mang is calling, Jiang Changsheng can't refuse, after all, Chen Mang is a true friend with him, and he has helped him a lot before.

Without Chen Mang's matchmaking, his co-production with Liu Xiaohui was not so smooth.

On the morning of August 9, Jiang Changsheng drove to the Yangshi Building and went to the 12th floor to meet Chen Mang.

Chen Mang's eyes were a little red, and the dark circles under his eyes were also quite serious, Jiang Changsheng said with concern: "Pay attention to rest, Sister Chen, you are so haggard." ”

Chen Mang sighed: "Hey, it's not the concert of the stars of the two countries, originally this concert was the responsibility of the media business department."

As a result, during the rehearsal last week, the leader was very dissatisfied, and he was furious on the spot, and handed over the task of the concert to our news and comment department.

In the past few days, I have been so busy preparing for the concert that my feet don't touch the ground, and I don't even have time to sleep. ”

Jiang Changsheng asked suspiciously: "Change generals in battle?" That's not very good, why is the leader doing this? ”

Chen Mang rubbed his temples and sighed: "On the day of the rehearsal, a big leader came to inspect, and the big leader was not satisfied and criticized a few words.

How could the leaders of the station not take action, and they couldn't take care of the change of generals.

After watching the rehearsal, the big leader also named you on the spot and praised you as a representative singer of my country.

The station knew that I was familiar with you, so I handed over the concert to the news and commentary department. ”

Jiang Changsheng smiled bitterly: "I still hurt Sister Chen after a long time." ”

"That's not it, although this concert is hard work, but if it is done well, it is also an opportunity to show your face in front of the big leaders, and many departments in the station can't get it.

If I can bring you here, it's half the battle. ”

Chen Mang said: "It's just that the time is a bit tight, and the concert will be held on August 24, the 10th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

There is only half a month left.

The big leader disliked that we were too small and childish, there was no pattern, and there were no cultural characteristics in the song and dance selection, so in addition to inviting you, I also invited big-name singers from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, as well as some national singers.

Goryeo also invited their most popular artists to strive to make the scene bigger. ”

Chen Mang poured Jiang Changsheng a cup of tea and said his request: "I want you to sing two songs, an English song to express an attitude of openness and international standards, and an ancient style song to show my country's characteristic culture."

You can choose to sing solo or sing with the singers from the Goryeo side. ”

Jiang Changsheng still values his friends very much, and he said to Chen Mang: "I can do it, Sister Chen, what do you say I will do, don't worry, I will definitely give ten percent of my strength to add glory to this concert." ”

Chen Mang said with a smile: "That's good, your Sister Chen, I'll wait to hug your thigh!" ”

"In this way, Sister Chen, you publicize it to the outside world, I will sing two new songs at the concert, an English song and an ancient song."

Either don't do it, or do it and do it to the best.

Jiang Changsheng asked Chen Mang to do it himself, he thought about it for a while in the office, and decided to come up with two songs.

A famous song by Adele "Rolling In The Deep", this is a Grammy-level golden song, mainly because the song is melodic and explosive, suitable for concert singing.

This song is very difficult to sing, but Jiang Changsheng has no problem singing Drama 2 now, and this song can also be won steadily.

The second song is a silk play, Jiang Changsheng considered singing Chiling, after all, "China-South Korea friendship depends on Japan, and China-Japan friendship depends on South Korea".

However, considering that it is an occasion for cultural exchanges, it is not suitable to sing about the hatred of the country and the people.

I also considered the drunkenness of the new concubine, and felt that Yang Guifei's affairs were nothing to promote.

Finally, I think of the silk play, the background of this song is the puppet show of the Song Dynasty, the so-called hanging silk puppets and marionettes are the same as shadow puppetry, which are the traditional culture of our country.

Moreover, the opera singing in the silk opera is also very unique, and it is also part of cultural promotion.

In the end, the song is good, and Jiang Changsheng likes it very much.

After thinking of the song, he said hello to Chen Mang and came to Warner Wheat Field Company alone.

It took three days for Jiang Changsheng to complete the arrangement of the two songs.

Jiang Changsheng thought about it, and simply recorded the two songs in the studio, and he recorded Rolling In The Deep into a single CD and handed it to Tian Xingguo.

Jiang Changsheng's English album was a big hit, and Warner Music Group has been urging Jiang Changsheng to release a new album, Jiang Changsheng was unmoved, and some of Warner's senior management had very opinions about it.

Tian Xingguo said a lot of good things in the middle, and he was also under a certain amount of pressure.

Jiang Changsheng simply recorded this song as a single and handed it to Tian Xingguo, asking him to hand it over to Warner's top management, and after the concert ended, it could be released globally.

It not only relieves the pressure on Tian Xingguo, but also contributes some performance to him.

After Tian Xingguo got the single, he was so happy that he said on the spot that he wanted to learn one more Russian language tonight, and as for how to learn, he should discuss it with a Russian beauty.

On August 14th, Jiang Changsheng participated in a rehearsal, he appeared in the finale, and the two songs directly shocked the audience, and Chen Mang smiled from ear to ear after listening to it.

She felt that she was stable, and the feeling of hugging Jiang Changsheng's thighs was really cool.

Jiang Changsheng felt that it was not perfect, especially the stage effect of the silk drama was average, and it did not reflect the essence of the opera.

For this reason, he contacted Zeng Li's eldest sister and asked her for advice on drama.

Zeng Li is from Peking Opera and has her own understanding of opera, after watching Jiang Changsheng's performance, she said: "Your voice condition is very good, but there is a problem with the pronunciation of the opera, and the position of the voice and the rhythm of the tune are not right."

This can be adjusted, after all, your song is still a pop song, and too professional drama may not be better.

In addition, I suggest that you change into costumes and paint opera masks on your face when you sing.

You can also design some opera movements to enrich the stage effect. ”

Jiang Changsheng has been suffering from the imperfect effect of the silk play in the past two days, and he has never thought of the reason, but after listening to Zeng Li's words, he has inspiration and is very excited.

I couldn't hold back for a while, so I directly picked up Zeng Li and turned around in place a few times.

Zeng Li was hugged by Jiang Changsheng, feeling his powerful arms and the sandalwood on his body, the whole person was dizzy.

As soon as the excitement passed, Jiang Changsheng came back to his senses, and he seemed to have forcibly hugged the school flower of Chinese opera.

Jiang Changsheng didn't panic, because he could feel that Zeng Li didn't resist his hug, not only did he not resist, but he even enjoyed it a little.

He put Zeng Li down steadily, and thanked him very sincerely: "Thank you, Sister Zeng, your words inspired me, I was too obsessed with opera culture before."

The song is a pop song, and I should get rid of the shackles of opera. ”

Zeng Li was slightly disappointed, she slapped Jiang Changsheng lightly, hiding her shyness, "Just thank you verbally?" There is no sincerity at all.

If you have something, come to my sister and me, and forget about me when you have nothing to do. ”

In the tone, there was a little resentment.

Jiang Changsheng smiled: "I've been busy these days, I'll definitely invite you to dinner when I turn around." ”

Eating is the most suitable way to thank you, if Jiang Changsheng says the role to Zeng Li, Zeng Li may turn her face, and some things can't be said clearly.

Subsequently, Zeng Li demonstrated the correct way to pronounce the opera, and Jiang Changsheng learned it for a day and improved it in combination with popular singing.

Singing the silk play again, the effect is indeed better than before.

He found Chen Mang again and said to her: "I hope to find some professional dancers to dance with me, and I will perform my own dance performance."

Silk play is puppet show, and I will design a mechanical dance to pretend to be a puppet;

I had theatrical masks painted on my face, I was wearing modern costumes, and I was dancing mechanically, which I thought was a new kind of attempt.

The combination of East and West, the collision of cultures will have unexpected effects.

I also need WIA equipment to make the best results. ”

There are still 8 days before the concert starts, and if others made such a request, Chen Mang would have asked him to get out of the way.

But Jiang Changsheng was different, she thought about it.

"Yes, I meet all your requirements, but one thing, if it doesn't work out, let's go back to the way we rehearsed the first dress, okay?"

"Good!"

Jiang Changsheng agreed, and then began special training.
