Chapter 46: Boot Ceremony
November 22, Thanksgiving Day.
Meng Wen came to the company early in the morning to prepare, but in fact, there was nothing to prepare, it was nothing more than to discuss the process. Anyway, the people who invite are their own people, so it doesn't matter if there is a little desertion. In the end, it has to be edited again before it can be uploaded to the Internet.
At nine o'clock, the start-up ceremony officially began, Meng Wen and the three heroines, the three male protagonists and Zhang He sat on the stage, and below were the behind-the-scenes personnel and some people in Zhou Wei's bar. Photographer Wang Lianghou took a picture from the side.
First of all, Meng Wen introduced himself, and this time Meng Wen made a bloody investment. In order to attract popularity, I can't take care of being low-key, and I have introduced all my great achievements writers, singers, and poets.
Meng Wen's introduction shocked several behind-the-scenes personnel invited by Zhou Wei in the audience, and when they first came, they couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous when they saw that the director was actually a college student who had not graduated. But for the sake of Zhou Wei and Qian's face, he didn't say much, since they gave money, they accompanied them to pat and play.
Now that I listen to Meng Wen's self-introduction, my previous contempt has begun to be put away, regardless of whether Meng Wen knows how to film or not, based on the achievements that Meng Wen just introduced, it is estimated that several people will not be able to catch up in this generation, so what qualifications do you have to despise others......
Meng Wen didn't notice the change in the attitude of everyone in the audience, and said to himself: "Here, I specially made three songs, including the opening song and the ending song of this play, the ending song is sung by Wang Qiang, the actor of this play, and the opening song is sung by Zhang He, another actor in this play, and the two actors will give you a part of the audition. As for the third song, it is sung by myself, and the name is kept secret for the time being, and it will be revealed at the end, and I promise that I will not disappoint you......"
Then Meng Wen introduced the origin of the name of "Waste Wood Brothers" and the true meaning of "Waste Wood". Don't just see the word "waste" in "waste firewood", but also pay attention to the word "firewood", what is "firewood" or what is "firewood"? "Chai" is a kind of energy, and it is positive energy. "Waste" is only because we don't have a good father, but don't worry, with "firewood", we have energy, and sooner or later we will "fire" up......
"Support positive energy, I am willing to be a 'waste wood'!"
Hearing Meng Wen's slogan, the audience couldn't help but applaud. This applause was not arranged in advance, it was a heartfelt applause from most people in the audience^......
After Meng Wen finished speaking, he asked Zhang He to come to the stage and sing the opening song "Alive" of "Waste Wood Brothers", which can be regarded as a good start for the start-up ceremony.
After Zhang He took the stage, he made a brief self-introduction, and the character in the play only mentioned it, after all, he only showed his face twice at the beginning of the first episode, so he didn't say much. Then I started singing with the music I had set out before.
"Tired of standing on a tall building, looking at the little ants on the ground,
Their heads are large and their legs are thin
......
My poor jeep, I haven't climbed a mountain or crossed a river for a long time,
It's very depressing in this city.
Although he didn't say anything, I knew he was sad,
I quietly made a wish to take him to Mongolia.
......
Panicked, hurried, why is life always like this,
Could it be that my ideal is to spend my life like this?
Not humble, not arrogant, not in a hurry, maybe life should be like this,
Could it be that after the age of 60, I will find the freedom I want?
The freedom I wanted, year by year
It's still that little savings, and I still can't afford a lot of things I like
Life is always troublesome, and I haven't gotten used to it yet.
It is said that money is a bastard, but it looks so good.
......”
There are no flowery words, no descriptions of spring and snow, just ordinary words, scenes of ordinary life. However, it inadvertently tugged at everyone's heartstrings and resonated with people......
Although it was not the first time that most of the audience had heard this song, after Zhang He finished singing, it still attracted people's long-lasting applause......
"Thank you all for the applause, my dream since I was a child was to become a singer. However, the pressures of life did make me become a bar singer after graduation, but I didn't give up on my dreams. I am here today, and I would like to thank the director for giving me this opportunity to have my first song of my own, and it is a great song......" Zhang He said emotionally.
After that, "Xu Yi" actor Li Longteng and "Lan Fei" actor Ouyang Die introduced themselves successively, followed by "Feng Xiaobai" actor Hong Weide and "Duoduo" actor Xun Hanlei. Finally, "Emma" actor Wang Ting and "Zhang Xiaojiao" actor Wang Qiang introduced themselves.
Wang Qiang, as the finale, sang a song "Ambition in My Chest",
"Pat the dust off your body and cheer up your tired spirit,
The distance may be full of bumpy roads, or you may have to walk alone.
I have long been accustomed to being alone, few people care and few people ask,
Even if no one pays for me, at least I still have a piece of truth
......
Hey, hey, even if the mountains are high and the waters are deep;
Hey, hey, can't stop me from running forward;
Hey, hey, a journey into the unknown
I'm going to take my life seriously......"
sang to the climax of "hey, hey", and everyone in the audience couldn't help but hum along......
After the actor was introduced, he used multimedia to play the tidbits of several protagonists who had been produced before. It's all funny shots of everyone's life. Then go straight to the final stage.
After the introduction of several actors just now, as well as the singing of Zhang He and Wang Qiang. I believe everyone has a general impression of the actors in this play. So far, this short start-up ceremony has come to an end. Today is not only the day when the crew of "Waste Wood Brothers" officially starts filming, but also the annual "Thanksgiving Day" for all of us.
Gratitude is the source of strength, the root of love, and the foundation of courage.
Be grateful to those who rebuke you because they have taught you to think, to be grateful to those who have tripped you up because they have strengthened your will, to be grateful to those who have abandoned you because they have taught you to be independent, to be grateful to those who have deceived you because they have increased your experience, and to be grateful to those who have hurt you because they have sharpened your mind.
Be grateful to the people who have helped you in difficult times, they have strengthened your faith, and be grateful to the people who have reminded you in good times, and they have helped you correct your course.
Speaking of this, Meng Wen paused, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "In the end, we should be most grateful to our parents, who gave us life, who raised us, and who taught us how to behave. Finally, please allow me to thank our parents with a song "Grateful Heart", thank you for ......"
After Meng Wen finished speaking, he gestured to the backstage, and the music began to play:
I came from chance, like a speck of dust
Does anyone see my vulnerability?
Where I come from, where I love
Who calls me in the next moment
Although the world is wide, this road is difficult to walk
I have seen all over this world, ups and downs and hardships
How much love I still have, how many tears I still have
God knows, I don't admit defeat
Grateful heart, thank you for having you
It has been with me for the rest of my life and has given me the courage to be myself
Grateful heart, thankful fate
When the flowers bloom and fall, I will cherish them as well
