Chapter 55 Success is not accidental
Backstage of "Singing Youth".
Tonight is Xiao Qi's first appearance after taking over Jiang Feng's show, and in order to get started as soon as possible, he is checking the contestants' profiles.
Li Mei lowered her head and sat on the sofa scrolling Weibo.
The posts are overwhelming, and they are all Gu Cheng's drafts.
The further down she swiped, the more solemn Li Mei's expression became.
"This Gu Cheng's momentum is too strong! Since the release of "Ordinary Road", the number of broadcasts on the whole network has exceeded 100 million, and "The Wind Rises" has even exceeded 200 million! ”
Xiao Qi was shocked, "Why is it so fast?" ”
Li Mei frowned slightly, "It was only 80 million in the morning, and it broke 200 million in less than two days!" ”
At this growth rate, I'm afraid it will reach 300 million tomorrow morning!
A sense of crisis surged in Li Mei's heart.
Although it's free, even the king may not be able to do it!
The phone rang suddenly.
As soon as she saw the caller ID, Li Mei's heart jumped, and an ominous premonition rose in her heart.
Xiao Qi saw that she didn't move, and said curiously: "Whose phone number?" ”
Li Mei clenched her phone, "It's Director Zhao!" ”
Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Could it be that the work has passed?" Sister Li, hurry up and pick it up! ”
Li Mei is not as optimistic as him.
She took a deep breath and answered with a smile, "Hello? Director Zhao? …… Not suitable, is it? ”
Hearing this, Xiao Qi's heart was half cold in an instant.
“…… It doesn't matter, I hope there will be a chance to cooperate with Director Zhao in the future! ”
As soon as the phone hung up, the smile on Li Mei's face instantly converged.
Xiao Qi said anxiously: "How is it?"
Li Mei shook her head helplessly, "Director Zhao said that the work is not suitable!" ”
"Is there still a chance for change?" Xiao Qi asked without giving up.
Li Mei brutally shattered his hopes.
"There is no chance, Director Zhao said that he has found a suitable OST."
The strength on Xiao Qi's body was leaked.
"Aren't you happy in the afternoon? Why is it suddenly inappropriate? Who cut it off? ”
Li Mei sighed, "Director Zhao didn't elaborate, he just said that he would know when the time came!" ”
Xiao Qi clenched his fists, full of unwillingness.
"I've been preparing this song for half a year, and it's a rare national style music, so give it up?"
Xiao Qi made his debut as a trainee, and in the past two years, he has transformed from an idol faction to a powerful faction.
Although the popularity has been good, the album sales are okay.
But from the real Heavenly King, there is still a lack of a chance to explode the gods.
"The Battle of Red Cliffs" is Xiao Qi's best work in recent years, it's a pity to give up so in vain!
Li Mei thought for a while, "I'll discuss it with the company when I go back and see if I can release a single!" ”
Xiao Qi frowned, "Send a single? ”
Li Mei nodded, ""The Battle of Red Cliffs" will be released at the end of the year, we will release it first to see if we can take advantage of the popularity and eat the wave of dividends!" ”
……
Eight o'clock the next morning.
The three of them sat around the table to eat, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Gu Cheng served An Ran a bowl of porridge to cool.
"An Ran, I'm going to the theater later, are you going to shoot the MV with your uncle or Sister Qi?"
The little girl looked left and right, stared at her eyebrows for a moment, and then made up her mind: "I'll go with my uncle."
Su Qi tore the bread with his hands and teased her: "An Ran, isn't it fun to follow my sister?"
Gu Anran hurriedly shook his head and carefully explained: "No, I was afraid of disturbing Sister Qi's work, so I didn't go!"
Su Qi sneered, "I teased you just now, hurry up and eat!" ”
After breakfast, the three of them went downstairs together.
Li Hao was already waiting in the parking lot.
However, Su Qi is going to China Entertainment today, so he has to drive himself.
Before getting on the bus.
Su Qi suddenly remembered something.
"Gu Cheng, Lao Liu called me this morning, saying that he had found an apartment near the studio, and said that he would take you over to have a look when you were free."
Gu Cheng nodded, "Let's talk about it when we come back in the evening!" ”
"Okay! Then I'll go first! ”
……
China Entertainment Headquarters.
Su Qi notified the props team in advance yesterday, and the landscaping was modified and built overnight.
Liu Hongguang waited on the set early.
Seeing that Su Qi didn't apply fat powder, only wearing a simple white dress, appeared at the shooting scene, and almost didn't drop his jaw.
He directly stepped forward and grabbed Su Qi's arm.
"Ouch hey! My little ancestor, aren't you planning to go into battle? ”
Su Qi nodded, "Gu Cheng said, this is an inspirational and warm love song, and the cleaner and simpler the better, so I just went into battle without makeup!" ”
Liu Hongguang was powerless to support his forehead, "No matter how simple it is, it's still photogenic, and you can't really go into battle without makeup!" ”
Female celebrities will try their best to maintain their makeup image in front of the camera, and they will sweat in the water without taking off their makeup!
Some exaggerated actresses shoot scenes such as beggars fleeing, and even have white makeup.
At worst, it has to be pseudo-plain makeup, with a little thin underwear and a base.
But Su Qi is obviously plain-faced, and he doesn't even wear lipstick.
"Before the shooting starts, you hurry up and put on some light foundation!"
Liu Hongguang is not optimistic, but who knows that the director's eyes are bright.
"Wait!"
The director looked Su Qi up and down, and his head was satisfied.
"Su Qi's plain makeup is clean and pure, which just matches today's theme background, I think you can try it, and it can also be used as a selling point to promote when the time comes!"
"Thank you, Director!"
In fact, this is also Su Qi's first time on the camera without pure makeup, and he has no bottom in his heart.
With the director's words, Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
"In that case, let's just start shooting!"
……
The other side.
Gu Cheng took Gu Anran's hand, walked through the theater and found Song Jiang at the back door.
"Brother Song, morning!"
"Gu Cheng, you're here!"
Song Jiang greeted him excitedly, and saw Gu Anran stunned for a moment, "Where did this little angel come from?" ”
Gu Cheng patted Gu Anran on the shoulder and introduced him.
"This is my niece Gu Anran! An Ran, called Uncle Song! ”
The little girl smiled sweetly, revealing two cute tiger teeth.
"Hello Uncle Song!"
Gu Anran's smile has always been indiscriminate against men, women and children, and it is an indiscriminate attack.
Song Jiang was captured at just one glance.
"That's good! You're visiting our theater for the first time, right? ”
Gu Anran nodded obediently, "Well, I've never been to such a place before!" ”
When Song Jiang heard this, he took her hand and walked to the theater.
"Let's go, Uncle will take you to the theater and get you some delicious food by the way!"
"Thank you, uncle!"
Gu Cheng shook his head, helplessly following.
The three major pieces of traditional rock have been turning to electronic music and synthesizer music for decades.
A synthesizer is a frequency synthesizer of sounds, which can make a variety of sounds and change a variety of timbres.
There is also a sample synthesizer that captures the timbre of a certain sound and then plays it back across the entire range, with the ability to change the key, velocity, and timbre during replay.
Synthesizers can solve a considerable part of the singing and dance hall accompaniment problems.
In the free orchestra, there are two musicians who are mainly responsible for electronic synthesizers.
One is named Guo Jiannian, who used to be a DJ and only joined the orchestra two years ago.
There is also Wang Chen, the youngest in the orchestra, who dropped out of school to join the orchestra because he likes electronic music and does not study well.
When Gu Cheng was synthesizing the audio track, these two people were studying next to him.
The more they watched, the more shocked they became.
"Chengge, look at your skillful technique, you haven't learned to play electronic music before, right?"
"Brother Cheng is afraid that he has been playing this technique for more than ten years, right?"
The timbre control and MIDI control of the synthesizer require precise functional practice, and it also takes time to pick the timbre and practice the technique.
But he watched Gu Cheng's movements, skillful and fast.
It's not something that can be picked up in a short period of time.
Gu Cheng smiled, "Fortunately, I was obsessed with electronic music for a while, so I learned a little bit along with it." ”
Gu Cheng's electronic music enlightenment is Journey to the West's "Cloud Palace Xunyin".
Later, after entering the industry, I was exposed to more electronic music.
For example, "Fade", "Somethi".
g Just Like This", "Feded", "You", "PDD Flood Power" and many more.
Gu Cheng has studied these electronic sounds.
Many people say that the most important thing to be a singer is to have a good voice.
I think that the singer can sing, standing on the stage, all he has to do is sing, not playing the piano and beating the drum.
But Gu Cheng thinks that professional singers need to know some musical instruments.
For this reason, he sacrificed almost all his spare time to study various musical instruments, and also learned a lot of musical skills from his predecessors in the music world.
Success never happens by accident.
The reason why Gu Cheng became popular in the entertainment industry in his previous life was not entirely luck, but more music accumulation.
Three hours later.
All synthesized sounds are made.
Gu Cheng began to instruct the orchestra and rehearsed repeatedly according to the changed score.
