I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 220 Burning! (33)

"Honey Stewed Squid" is "Dear, Beloved"...

In terms of the plot, it is a typical idol drama!

A normal sweet love drama...

Shen Liang also wants to have a sweet love story in a film or TV series...

Moreover, the character of Han Shangyan is quite real!

Not a domineering CEO in the traditional sense.

Silent, cold, and unsmiling, but these are not symbols that the male protagonist of idol dramas uses to look cool. They all have their reasons: he lost his parents when he was young and was brought up by his stepmother. He lacked family affection, so he developed a lonely and uncommunicative personality.

I have a bad temper, my emotions are not always stable, and I like to swear. In order to reduce the swearing, I developed the habit of eating candy.

He has low emotional intelligence and a bad temper.

To the outside world, he is very difficult to get along with.

So, after being single for many years...

Well, a domineering president with shortcomings.

Come to think of it, if the domineering president is excellent in every aspect, why would he fall for the heroine?

The key is that this drama is very popular!
Yang Zi has completely ascended to the top with this drama and the previous "Ashes of Love"...

After thinking for a while, Shen Liang said, "Actually, Yang Zi has a young face. When we are together, you can't really tell the age difference, right?"

Chen Jiadong understood what Shen Liang meant and nodded: "…If you really want to play the leading male role, then we will do our best to get it…"

“The pay doesn’t have to be too high…”

After thinking about it, Shen Liang added: "But it can't be too low!"

“…Do you know the current market situation?”

"I don't know... How much should I ask?"

"At least fifty million!"

Shen Liang subconsciously said, "Fifty million yuan for a film, am I that valuable?"

"…This is the price you pay for a TV series…You can’t lower the price at will!"

"…I've only been popular for half a year, and you dare to ask for such a high price?"

Chen Jiadong was speechless: "The whole industry is like this. You are now the leading actor of a billion-dollar box office movie, a top star... 8000 million is already very little. If you are not showing your sincerity, we can definitely offer million!"

"…I really don't understand the price level in your circle. What does 5000 million mean? A medium-sized manufacturing plant only makes to million yuan a year at most…"

"The market is like this, and you are a rare type of positive young person..."

Shen Liang: "What about Wu Yifan and Li Yifeng?"

"They don't take on TV series, their focus is on the film industry..."

"…Really? Why?"

Chen Jiadong shook his head: "...Maybe their team feels that filming a TV series is not high-end enough?"

"Lajiba... then participating in a variety show is high-class?"

Chen Jiadong did not answer. He was already on the phone reporting to Ma Hao about his work - to decide whether to fight for the role of Han Shangyan.

……

In the past two years, with the rise of Internet platforms, the Mango TV variety show production team has suffered a serious loss...

Coupled with the sudden rise of Zhejiang, Dragon TV and Jiangsu TV, Mango TV's dominance in the variety show field is in jeopardy...

As the top music variety show of Mango TV, "Singer" has been highly anticipated from the very beginning!
Of course, the results are great...

But the core of music variety shows is singers singing...

After all, music variety shows are not entertainment variety shows, nor are they variety shows for complaining, making jokes, quarreling, being gay, or being anti-IQ. Musicality is always the first priority, so the quality of the singing is always the key.

Even if there are some new tricks, the core and essence is still singing!

Since last season, the aesthetics of "Singer" in music and performance have been too single and have shown a trend of weakness...

However, this season, Shen Liang's participation in the competition felt like a sudden appearance, sparking a nationwide discussion!

Compared with last year's "Singer", the ratings of "Singer 2018" have actually reached a new level.

Since the first episode, Shen Liang’s appearances have always brought the highest ratings.

It won nine consecutive ratings championships, and then... "Running Man" was launched... As Zhejiang Satellite TV's ace variety show, "Running Man" must have the important task of regaining the lost ground on Friday...

However, the "Singer" production team can't just sit there and wait for death...

So, this time the "Singer" program team really helped Shen Liang invite teacher Zhang Guangbei...

Li Youbin is still grinding...

After listening to Hong Tao's introduction, Shen Liang took out his phone and asked, "Teacher Li...shouldn't be coming?"

“…We are striving for…”

"Let me ask..."

"Do you know Teacher Li?"

Shen Liang said casually: "My mother knows Teacher Li's wife..."

Hong Tao's eyes lit up: "Then... let her persuade him..."

Shen Liang didn't dare to guarantee it: "If Teacher Li is filming, forget it..."

As they were talking, Shen's mother answered the phone, and Shen Liang said that he would sing "Chinese Military Soul" on the "Singer" stage, and hoped that teachers Li Youbin and Zhang Guangbei would help...

Mother Shen didn't want to say this: "Teacher Li doesn't like to join in this kind of fun... But Teacher Zhang really likes singing on the stage!"

"I just want Teacher Zhang to say, 'Brother Yunlong, you owe me a battalion's worth of equipment, it's time to return it...', which will definitely trigger cheers from the audience..."

"…Are you trying to ride on the popularity of 'Drawing Sword' again?"

"…Mom, "Drawing Sword" is now the best drama…This is not called riding on the popularity, it's called paying tribute to the classics!"

"…Okay, I'll ask for you."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Liang looked at Hong Tao awkwardly, and said, "I don't think it will work..."

Hong Tao was also a little disappointed: "It's okay, we have Teacher Zhang Guangbei here, and his influence is not low..."

“…What song will Jessie J sing in this episode?”

""My heart will go on"..."

Shen Liang was very disappointed: "Ah? Another must-listen European and American hit song for Chinese people?"

"...She has to take a flight for more than ten hours, and then she has to go on stage after a two-hour rest... Singing this kind of song is the safest!"

“Not safe… I feel like Jessie J’s voice isn’t really suitable for singing Celine Dion’s songs!”

“…We’ll talk about it later…”

……

The song "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" is actually the theme song of "Huang Feihong". After Xu Ke finished filming "Huang Feihong" that year, he found Huang Zhan, hoping to adapt a song from "The General's Order" as the soundtrack of "Huang Feihong".

In fact, the ancient song "General's Order" was the earliest soundtrack for Kwan Tak-hing's version of "Huang Feihong"!

Xu Ke is a die-hard fan of old Hong Kong films, and of course he has heard of "General's Order" - which is different from "Swordsman". When Xu Ke was making "Swordsman", he found Huang Zhan and only gave him a rough idea. Huang Zhan gave Xu Ke six drafts, but Xu Ke asked in return: "Have you run out of ideas?" Then he came up with "A Laugh in the Sea"...

This time the target is clear, it is "General's Order"!
After listening to the 500-beat score of "The General's Order", Huang Zhan spent two months simplifying it, and finally "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" was released!
A song that embodies masculinity.

Shen Liang went on stage in his training clothes, bowed to the audience, and then the drums started to beat...

"His pride laughs at the waves, his blood is hotter than the sun, his courage is like iron and his bones are like steel..."

He sang the Cantonese version...

I always feel that the Cantonese version sounds better...

When singing this song, the first thing to pay attention to is the breath. The breath must reach a certain level and cannot be weak.

It is better that you cannot sing the high notes and even shout until your voice breaks than to use the "singing with the breath cut method". Otherwise, it will not sound like "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" but "A Sick Man and a Weak Chicken".

The second is the high notes, which are the most difficult. You cannot use falsetto when singing "A Man Should Be Self-reliant".

why?
Because this is a man's song, it is masculine.

Not using falsetto, but using real voice on C5, this is really a perverted request!

Shen Liang was a little short, but not by much—he just screamed without challenging, "Look at the tall and strong blue waves"...

"Hot blood, hot heart, hotter than the red sun~"

The music ended here, the lights went dark, and the audience was about to stand up and applaud when the music of the assembly sounded... The lights came back on, and Shen Liang and... Zhang Guangbei appeared on the stage...

"If the motherland is invaded, the passionate men should strengthen themselves~"
