Chapter 392: Light in the Dark
Qi Xinyan, as an amateur player, after the amazing first stage, accumulated insufficient inspiration, and her performance gradually became mediocre.
In qualifying, she gradually fell to the middle of the table.
But Su Zhe was still very optimistic about her, and found that she was like a sponge when she was studying, growing rapidly, and gradually showing her hidden talent.
This made Su Zhe even a little worried, the orange video refused to let go, but he didn't expect the orange to be very happy, and before the finals were recorded, Qi Xinyan and Mary Su signed a contract.
Du Kang is such a happy person!
Su Zhe knew how to repay the favor, and remembered his previous promise, so he said:
"Don't worry, I will write a song for Qi Xinyan and let her sing it in the finals."
Anyway, the copyright of the song still belongs to Su Zhe, and it is Qi Xinyan who signed a contract with Mary Sue, which just gives the program team an extra hot spot for publicity, and Su Zhe is not at a loss.
Du Kang is also very happy, for a music show, if there is no explosive song, how can it be popular?
But the happiest is undoubtedly Qi Xinyan herself.
Who in the circle doesn't know that Su Zhe has a reputation of tens of millions? He barely sang songs, and all the songs were on fire.
What's more, Qi Xinyan was originally a fan of Su Zhe's music, and she was given a song by an idol, what kind of experience is this?
"Thank you, mentor, I will sing well and not embarrass you! Really ......"
She laughed incoherently.
Su Zhe understood very well, thinking about her style, and picked a song that was somewhat similar:
"Bead Curtain, let's try it in the studio."
This is the repertoire sung by Huo Zun in "Good Chinese Songs", which became famous and has always been considered by fans to be one of the most immortal male singers of the new generation.
It's a pity that he was hammered out of the circle later, and later it seemed to be framed. If it's really framed, it's a pity.
Being able to win the music comprehensive talent show shows that the quality of this song is good, especially suitable for competitions.
But there is a very peculiar place, it is difficult to remember the lyrics after listening to it, and it is also difficult to remember the melody, as if listening to a piece of pure music. - It's hard to catch fire.
Therefore, the quality of "Bead Curtain" is just right, which can not only make Qi Xinyanhuo, but also not make Su Zhe reluctant.
He thought so and didn't pay much attention to it, but after Qi Xinyan listened to his singing, the whole person was stunned:
"That's great, isn't it? Mentor, you are my eternal benefactor! ”
She even felt that if she lay flat in the future, she would be able to get a lifetime of meal tickets with such a masterpiece.
"Don't want to lie down, write a few beautiful Chinese-style songs, even if I haven't cultivated you in vain."
Su Zhe saw her "insidious" thoughts and immediately interrupted.
Qi Xinyan smiled:
In fact, if the future is bright and you are doing what you like, who will lie down?
When he arrived at the recording studio, Su Zhe accompanied himself and taught Qi Xinyan to sing.
Qi Xinyan's natural timbre and pitch are very suitable for singing the rather fairy "Bead Curtain", but there is a problem-
"You can't transpose your voice?" Su Zhe looked at Qi Xinyan in surprise, the singing skills were all taught by Teacher Xue, he didn't know, otherwise he would not have taken out the "Bead Curtain".
You know, this song is almost all transposition.
Qi Xinyan was embarrassed:
"I will, but I don't sing R&B, so it's normal that I'm not very proficient in transposition."
"If you're not skilled, you won't." As a top singer, Su Zhe has very strict requirements, "And I can change my voice from a folk song background, I don't learn more and practice more, how can I touch the class?" ”
Qi Xinyan lowered her head in shame:
Who are you? Grandmaster of Music! I'm a rookie, can I compare with you?
Su Zhe was helpless, scratched his head, and gave up:
"Forget it, let's change the song, how can I sing "Bead Curtain" if I can't change the tone?"
Qi Xinyan liked this song very much, looked at Su Zhe pitifully, and pleaded:
"Mentor, I'll practice! Isn't it just transliteration, I'll definitely practice it. ”
After listening to "Bead Curtain", she was deeply fascinated by this song, and felt extremely lucky to be able to become her masterpiece, the kind of green smoke on the ancestral grave.
If she misses this masterpiece because of her lack of ability, she will never forgive herself for the rest of her life, and she has to sit up at night and slap herself.
Su Zhe was able to understand her mood, thought about it, and agreed:
"Then you can practice hard, but if you can't sing well, I won't give you face, and I will give you a low score."
Su Zhe reminded.
Don't look at any crash videos on the Internet such as "Learn to Convert Voices in Three Minutes", in fact, it is not easy to sing well and mellowly.
Especially the song "Rolling Bead Curtain", if the tone is stiff, it will lose its fairy spirit.
Don't fool around.
"Don't worry, mentor, I will do my best, and I will definitely win!"
Qi Xinyan launched a ruthless attack, it is difficult for her to improve her voice transposition level in a short period of time, but she can practice a song hard and engrave this song into the memory of her vocal cords.
Su Zhe nodded in agreement:
"I'll show you a demo video. But remember, you learn from me, it's a trick. An excellent singer must have his own ideas about the song and sing according to his own understanding, rather than just imitating others. ”
Even if it is the same song, different singers will sing it differently, which is a very important ability of singers in addition to function (timbre and music, etc.) and singing skills-singing quotient.
Su Zhe remembered that there was a very famous singer in his previous life, with excellent physical function and excellent singing skills, which was called a singing machine, but the singing quotient was too low, and there was almost only one way to sing - showing off his skills. (Remarks)
If you don't show off your skills, you can't sing, and your ability to interpret the artistic conception of the song is very poor.
This also shows the importance of the singer, and even in Su Zhe's view: third-rate singers compete in singing skills, second-rate singers fight for performance, and first-class singers watch singers.
(Because the singing skills and functions of first-class singers are usually not bad)
So Su Zhe doesn't want Qi Xinyan to become a singer who can only learn to sing, and he is very demanding:
"Generally speaking, the singing quotient of original singers is very high, after all, they write their own songs, and they know the feelings contained in them best. What I expect from you is not a singing machine. And you can't do it either. ”
After all, you can't even sing the transposition well.
And the singing machine in his previous life, at least his singing skills are really powerful, and he can hear it when he lights his voice.
When Qi Xinyan heard Su Zhe's expectation, she felt both pressure and excitement, and nodded excitedly:
"This is the only time I want to move forward with the goal of being a mentor!"
Su Zhe's singing quotient, although no one mentions it, after all, there are not many people who pay attention, and most listeners will only evaluate the singing quotient with their instinctive "good-sounding".
But obviously, like his function and singing skills, he is also the top level in the circle.
- This doesn't even depend on the system, it depends on Su Zhe's own understanding.
"Come on."
After Su Zhe finished recording the song, he left.
When Qi Xinyan was practicing, he went to a rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala and decided that he would play the leading role in "Not Bad Money" - Xiao Shenyang.
It's just that Xiao Shenyang is the stage name of the actor in his previous life, and of course he doesn't use this name now, but according to the original actor Cheng Yongjun, he directly uses his name.
This is also to let Cheng Yongjun bind the role and become popular together, and even wrote a few name stalks.
(The original sketch has a small Shenyang - a homophonic stalk with a small loss)
Now that Su Zhe is going to play it, he has no time to change the script, so he can only inherit the name of the actor as it is.
So in "Not Bad Money", Su Zhe plays "Cheng Yongjun".
After the rehearsal, although he is too handsome, the effect of burden will be weakened, but his acting skills are too good, which still makes everyone laugh, praising him for being stronger than Cheng Yongjun and Benjun.
He watched "Help or Not" starring Lu Jian again, and the performance was very good, and to Su Zhe's surprise, the person who played the traffic police in the sketch turned out to be Ding Xinping of the Starry Theater.
He listened to Xu Cui's gossip, this person was jealous of Lu Jian and caused some small contradictions, but he didn't expect to play the role of a traffic policeman.
Although there are not many scenes, it is the Spring Festival Gala after all!
Being able to show his face in the Spring Festival Gala, for many grassroots actors, it can really be said to be an opportunity to glorify their ancestors, and the competition is very fierce.
This made Su Zhe very curious, and asked Xu Cui gossipingly:
"They're reconciled?"
Xu Cui was in charge of this sketch, and also came to the scene, and replied in a low voice:
"Hmm. I really don't understand men, these two fell out before, but they reconciled after a meal, Lu Jian especially supported Ding Xinping to play the traffic police, and his performance was really good. ”
Su Zhe didn't care about this kind of trivial matter, and was just about to leave, but Director Zhu Jun took a little fresh meat and an agent, found Su Zhe, and said embarrassedly:
"Teacher Su, Xiao Chen admires you very much and wants to learn from you."
Su Zhe didn't understand, what to learn from himself? I have so many advantages, but it's not easy to learn.
The broker hurriedly said:
"Mr. Su, we are...... This is our family Chen Qiu, who has great potential, and wants to shine on the Spring Festival Gala, and it is just right to support it after the New Year. ”
Su Zhe, the company she said, had never heard of it, but Xu Cui whispered a reminder that there was Penguin's investment.
The penguins are old friends, Zhu Jun also cooperates very happily, and Su Zhe is very face-saving:
"Then I wish him a hit."
broker says:
"There is a reluctant request, there are not many traffic police scenes in "Help or Not", can we let our family Chen Qiu go up and show his face?"
Su Zhe was suddenly, no wonder he came to him, he wanted to replace Ding Xinping!
They are very calculating, the role of traffic police has few roles, and big stars can't look down on them, which is just right for newcomers like Chen Qiu.
And there is almost no need for acting skills, there is no pressure, and there is no need to worry about acting badly.
The most important thing is that they inquired, Ding Xinping did not sign Mary Sue, he is not Su Zhe's person, and Su Zhe has no reason to protect him.
Hearing their words, all the members of "Help or Not Help" looked nervous, especially Ding Xinping, who felt even more desperate.
He knew that he was not favored by Su Zhe, he did not sign Mary Sue, and even left a bad impression on Su Zhe.
In that case, why did Su Zhe protect him?
And this kind of thing is not uncommon, not to mention the trick he plays, even if it is an important role, there have been sketch actors who rehearsed hard and finally passed the final review, but were replaced by celebrities.
Even in Su Zhe's previous life, there were a lot, and a certain ancestor did it.
- Although the quality of that sketch is sparse, it can't hide the bad behavior of this behavior.
Not to mention Ding Xinping, even Lu Jian and others were nervous:
None of them are stars, if Ding Xinping can be replaced, then what about them?
Now everyone knows that playing Su Zhe's book can be popular! In case a big star takes a fancy to their character, what is their ability to resist?
Could it be that they worked hard to rehearse, passed five levels and cut six generals, and faced many difficulties before they let the sketches pass the review of the Spring Festival Gala all the way, just to send the stars on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala?
Just because they are not stars, aren't they popular?
In the eyes of Chen Qiu and his agent, there is no difficulty and a reasonable request, but it makes these hard-working sketch actors all clench their fists with sad expressions.
Su Zhe was silent, didn't look at them, just looked at Chen Qiu, looked at his eyes full of indifference:
"I think I've heard that you're a newcomer that Penguin intends to support. This kind of opportunity is just icing on the cake for you, not even the icing on the cake, and it won't attract many fans. ”
Chen Qiu thought that Su Zhe was praising himself, and smiled happily:
"I think so, fortunately, it doesn't work. Mr. Su, I am very fortunate to participate in your script, but it would be better if it was a TV series. ”
He didn't forget to flatter Su Zhe, but Su Zhe pointed to the sketch actors behind him:
"But this small opportunity, for them, is the only light in the long wait."
Everyone was stunned, even if Chen Qiu's brain was slow, he didn't feel like he agreed.
Su Zhe asked Xu Cui:
"Are they rehearsing seriously?"
Xu Cui immediately replied:
"Very serious, especially hard. Some new baggage is something they have rehearsed and collided with again and again on the basis of your script. ”
She didn't say it, but she even felt that the current version had surpassed Su Zhe's script.
Su Zhe also thinks so, the comedians in this world can naturally collide with the burden of their previous lives.
"I will not fail their efforts."
Su Zhe's words were categorical.
There is a saying about chicken soup, called "God will not fail everyone who works hard".
In fact, the heavens will live up, and the reality is not so rosy.
But Su Zhe won't.
Everyone was stunned, and all kinds of eyes were projected on Su Zhe-
There is shock, there is worship, there is emotion, there is puzzlement......
Su Zhe behaved very ordinarily.
As if this is what he should do, this is the principle that a bigwig in the circle should abide by.
There was silence.
Chen Qiu and his agent naturally didn't dare to offend Su Zhe for a small role, and after embarrassingly complimenting a few words, they left.
Zhu Jun was also embarrassed, explained a few words and left.
Only the actors of "Not Bad Money" and "Help or Help" were left, and they involuntarily surrounded Su Zhe and shouted:
"Mr. Su, thank you."
"Mr. Su, you are too domineering, I will definitely mess with you in the future!"
“……”
Su Zhe smiled and waved at them:
"Don't be a sycophant, I just can't get used to picking peaches. It's okay to become famous, work your own, don't bully people who work hard. ”
After finishing speaking, he left, and he was busy recording the finals of "Chinese Song and Dance".
And after he left, the sketch actors exploded even more:
"It's the first time I've seen someone as upright as Mr. Su."
"It's really impressive."
"This kind of person deserves to make money! No matter what he does, I will always support him! ”
Even if it's something that is not allowed, she supports it! Open a harem!
Among them, Ding Xinping, who should be most grateful to Su Zhe, was silent and didn't say a word, and Su Zhe's words silently echoed in his heart:
"The only light in the long wait" "I will not fail their efforts"......
He thought that he was floating in the capital for his dream of being an actor, but he could hardly even earn rent money, so he could only act in small dramas or some marginal roles.
He never belonged to this city, and he never belonged to the entertainment industry.
So why did he insist? Do you have a mine at home?
No, even his family conditions are worse than ordinary people, his parents are farming, and they can't earn a meal from a star in the circle for a year.
It stands to reason that people like him are not qualified to pursue dreams, and they are not even worthy of dreams.
But he was unwilling to extinguish the fire in his heart, and although his parents didn't understand anything, they kept gritting their teeth to support him:
"Let the baby try for another year, otherwise I won't be reconciled."
This attempt is seven years, he is thirty years old, but he still has achieved nothing. Enter, enter; Retreat, can't go back.
After years of futile work, the relatives in the village began to gossip and say everything, but his parents were unwilling to tell him more.
Therefore, when Su Zhe didn't take a fancy to him at the beginning, but when he took a fancy to Lu Jian, he collapsed and almost fell out with his good brother for many years.
But he still seized this only opportunity and rehearsed hard, not for the fire, but so that when his parents saw the Spring Festival Gala, they could proudly say to their relatives:
"This is my baby, my baby is on the Spring Festival Gala, he is out of breath!"
After this, he can say goodbye to his dream for many years and go back with regret and satisfaction.
But the little willfulness of a little fresh meat almost ruined his only hope.
And he had already told his parents that he was on the Spring Festival Gala. He didn't know how to explain it to his parents, and how to deal with his relatives.
At this moment, his despair was unknown to anyone.
Darkness enveloped him like a curtain on the stage.
Until that light comes in.
