Perfect Life

"The blue-faced Dou Erdun stole the royal horse, the red-faced Guan Gong fought against Changsha, the yellow-faced Dian Wei, the white-faced Cao Cao, the black-faced Zhang Fei, his name is Chacha..."

After a few days of training, the fatigue in Liao Liao's voice quickly disappeared, and the high-pitched tone unique to Peking Opera hung high, and even the two Peking Opera masters present were excited to hear it.

Of course, after finishing this trial recording, Fang Shaobai, who finally took the time to spare, still couldn't help but point out from a professional point of view: "Brother and sister, your singing style is very nice, but to be honest, it's too delicious. If you end your voice once, or sing it three or five times, then it’s probably fine, but if you keep recording like this, you’ll have to pull up this high-pitched voice, I don’t think you can hold it up!”

When he was talking, Mr. Cheng couldn't stop nodding his head. Then, the old man couldn't help but pointed: "Girl, I told you about the pronunciation of the singing in Beijing Opera, especially this section, this piece of Xiaoqian's singing, which is purely in the voice of an old man in Beijing Opera. Ga Tiao, this voice is very high, let alone many singers who don't have a voice as good as yours, there is, even after singing a scene a day, he doesn't dare to play like this, so I teach you That technique is a more vocal way of singing that has been summed up by generations of ancestors through experience. It is purely based on a fleshy voice, but it can sing broken voices, and it will not be able to cultivate it in ten days and a half months!"

Liao Liao nodded when she heard the words, and then she couldn't help but look at Li Qian with a little embarrassment.

Since the old man has accepted Li Qian as a disciple, he has no plans to hide his secrets. Except for Li Qian who can't go to work, he basically has two big classes every week, and he teaches solid skills. Wait until Liao Liao's side To record works in the style of Peking Opera, the old man was even more generous with his guidance, and passed on his ability to press the bottom of the box directly to his apprentices and daughters-in-law. It took how many years of hard training to come up with "work", not to mention Liao Liao hastily went into battle, it is Li Qian, who has been learning from the old man for two years now, and every morning he wakes up and hangs his voice, and he dare not say anything. How high is your level.

But unfortunately, the recording rhythm of this record is very rushed.

Time has not allowed Liao Liao to seriously master the vocal skills of Peking Opera.

So, based on the score, she quickly researched a set of techniques for singing the last paragraph of the song, and then, yes, it is very nice indeed, but the shortcoming of this very throaty, but also very obvious .

Because... well, considering Liao Liao's vocal advantage, Li Qian gave her half a K higher than the original K of this song, so, um, in fact, the last part of the tune, most people still It's really not easy to sing so calmly and dashingly at such a height.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Qian first looked at Liao Liao and said, "Or... drop half a K?"

Liao Liao immediately shook his head to express his disapproval, "No! It sounds good on this half K. If it goes down, my voice will suddenly become a little bit deeper, and it will not be so loud."

Li Qian grabbed his chin, thought for a moment, then patted the table, turned his head and said to the other party Shaobai: "Senior brother, so, the time is too short, Liao Liao feels that using the luck method taught by the master in a hurry will appear cowardly instead. So... let's just record "Chaitoufeng" first. That song doesn't put too much pressure on your voice and Liao Liao. When the song is finished, turn around and ask her to press this Sing, sing and record once, just record three or four times, and then choose the best one, how about that?”

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Shaobai turned his head and looked at Old Master Cheng. In the end, both of them looked over and nodded, Fang Shaobai said, "Alright... alright! For the time being, this is the best. There's a solution! Anyway, there's the last song left, and even if your voice breaks, it won't delay things."

After a pause, he smiled and said to Liao Liao: "Brother and sister, since you say that, don't be afraid. There is a secret recipe for raising your voice that has been passed down from our teacher's school. Even if your voice is broken, I will give you a few. Deputy soup medicine, pack a few medicines, and you will be back to normal!"

Liao Liao smiled when he heard the words, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

…………

After Li Qian came back from Tianshui Mansion, he didn't even care about the company. The first thing he did was to find Fang Shaobai to practice his singing. After the two had faced each other, Fang Shaobai made a slight correction to his singing method, and he could do it. Li Qian was quite satisfied.

As a top domestic Peking Opera veteran, his level as a senior disciple of Chengmen is not a joke. Even if he breaks the inherent rigidity of Peking Opera, it will make him sing a little jerky at the beginning, but he is skilled. After speaking, the high-pitched voice was erratic, and it was so fine that it was like whispering in the ear, and it was so high-pitched that it made people's scalp burst and their hairs rose.

Not to mention Liao Liao, in this duet of Peking Opera, Liao Liao has always been most familiar with the singing requirements for female voices. For her, lifting weights lightly is also a no-brainer.

So, record it.

It was still in this recording studio, when Fang Shaobai's iconic high-pitched voice was thrown, but Liao Liao was able to pick it up with his very textured voice, even Old Master Cheng was full of emotion.

Listening to the recording of the two of them, for the person in charge of the recording, basically every time is an enjoyment.

The word love is more than the pain in the heart.

The two lovers, Lu You and Tang Wan, expressed their sincerity in each other's two "Chai Tou Feng", which were naturally emotional and weeping.

In the beginning, there were some minor flaws in the relationship between the two, but after Li Qian adjusted the differences a little, the cooperation between the two quickly became smooth, and it was recorded seven or eight times together. Li Qian felt that It was good enough, and even the bottom line was available, so I decisively announced the completion of the recording at that time.

After the recording was over, everyone briefly discussed it, because the next song "Rap Facebook" would be more throaty, so it was finally decided to let Liao Liao rest for an afternoon and come back tomorrow morning to record.

Moreover, in order to try to protect Liao Liao's voice from injury, he had to try to finish it within five times.

…………

Li Qian at the beginning of May was so busy that he hit the back of his head with his feet.

Although he has been thinking about it all the time, he really didn't have enough time. He finally completed the recording of another song. Anyway, Liao Liao also needs to rest, so Li Qian is thinking about "Love of Spring Onion" again.

During the period when he went to Los Angeles with Liao Liao and Xie Mingyuan to do the soundtrack and Liao Liao's new album, Cao Zhan wrote the soundtrack for "Love of Green Flowers" three times before and after he finally satisfied himself. Not to mention.

So, in mid-April, after a nearly one-year production cycle, "Love of Green Onion" was finally announced to be completely complete - the investor, the producer, and the future publicity and theater chain are all sure It was Yu Bojun himself who made it round, so his edited version must be the final release version. Unlike other directors, who often need to cut a version for release according to the requirements of the producer, and their favorite version has to be named "Director's Cut". A handful of ideas will allow this version to meet audiences who are willing to collect discs.

Since the two sides have known each other, Yu Bojun has nothing to say to Li Qian, especially when Li Qian was planning to film "The Legend of the White Snake", he was definitely supporting him. From the filming of "Love" until the later stage, he has never been able to give any more help, and Li Qian has always felt ashamed in his heart.

Therefore, after finishing the recording of "Chai Tou Feng", he sent Liao Liao back to rest, but he called Yu Bojun and Cao Zhan to make an appointment, and then drove directly over there. The three of them set up in Yushun by Yu Bojun. The Tianfu studio met, and Yu Bojun took Li Qian to the movie theater to watch the final cut version of the movie.

As for Cao Zhan, he directly waved his hand, "I've watched this film no less than fifty times before and after, and I've all vomited. I'm not like Bo Jun, my own child looks good no matter how I look at it, I can't stand it! Go in and watch it. , I'd better smoke a cigarette outside! When you're finished, let's find a place to have a few drinks."

Li Qian laughed, and Yu Bojun laughed too.

…………

At first glance, the play "Love of Green Onions" seems to be a story of love and hatred in troubled times, but in the final analysis, it is about human nature.

The final edited version given by Yu Bojun, plus the ending, is more than 140 minutes long. Even if the more than five minutes of credits at the end of the final movie are removed, it means that audiences who buy tickets to enter the cinema in the future will need to sit for two hours. over an hour.

Therefore, it is not easy for this kind of art film with extremely poor entertainment to grab the audience and keep the audience sitting in the chair and not leaving the scene early. This is the biggest problem of niche films, and The only way to solve this problem is to be yourself, and then "wait" for the part of the audience that belongs to you.

But, fortunately... the heroine is more beautiful.

Moreover, Jin Han's photography level is not covered. The picture of the lens comes out with a touch of indescribable beauty and beauty. In the current domestic film circle, it is a relatively rare kind of looking at the lens. The picture makes people feel that there is an image style that is exuding flavor, and this style coincides with the story background and core direction of the film.

After watching it for only ten minutes, Li Qian couldn't help but sighed again in his heart: When I look back, I have to film a commercial film for myself first! At least earn back the millions he spent!

Compared with the first cut version that Li Qian had seen before, Yu Bojun made a lot of changes in the editing of this version.

It involves the part where he and Cao Zhan and Li Qian had a dispute before. Yu Bojun, who had been shooting urban commercial films for so many years, didn't know whether he suddenly understood, or whether he subconsciously believed in Li Qian and Cao Zhan's judgment. , he still made adjustments, and re-cut the scene that Li Qian and Cao Zhan wrote in the script.

In this way, the whole story will of course appear more rounded and accessible, but the price is that the whole movie seems to be more lengthy.

After watching the whole film, Yu Bojun couldn't wait to turn on the lights and asked, "How is it? Can you give me some comments?"

Li Qian smiled and said, "You've already edited the final version, and I'm still a shit, so let's go! I just think the picture is very beautiful, my senior sister... very beautiful!"

Yu Bojun was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then suddenly burst out laughing.

After going out to meet Cao Zhan, everyone went out to find a place to drink and have a small gathering together, and chatted about the future release plan, Li Qian suddenly understood why Yu Bojun was so funny - it turns out that Cao Zhan also said this before.

That's right, literary films, even those made by directors like Yu Bojun who have a theater chain at home, if you want to buy a box office that is not too big on the street, you must find the gimmicks during the publicity period!

Therefore, Cao Zhan and Li Qian said to Yu Bojun at the same time: The heroine is very beautiful!

The first play of a famous Peking Opera star? Sorry, this doesn't work! At least for the vast majority of the audience, especially for the audience who have no interest or understanding of Beijing opera, this publicity plan is very bad.

Considering that the previous performance contract was very strict in many aspects, coupled with the relationship between Cheng Suping and Li Qian, it is of course impossible for Yu Bojun to do something for the box office. What will happen to Cheng Suping's personal life and reputation Influential publicity planning.

Otherwise, let’s be honest, anyway, it’s true or false. In fact, the crew can make some news. For example, this play was shot several times during the script stage because it was too large. Forced to delete some passionate dramas before they can finally be released... In short, how to seduce hormones and how to make news hot spots.

But now, this method cannot be used, so the simplest method is: the heroine is very beautiful!

Put out those amazing makeup photos that were taken in advance, including her beautiful Peking Opera Huadan makeup photos, and also choose the right time to release them, and make them on the Internet, which is becoming more and more influential. Once it’s hyped, wait until the hype is almost done, then release the trailer, and then push it down step by step. When it’s released, it’s also shown on a small scale to build up a small audience’s reputation for watching the movie, and then try to get as many theaters as possible. Screening - this is also the plan given by the gang of people under Yu Bojun.

It's just a pity that Yu Bojun has always followed the route of low-cost urban romance films before. In the field of art films, he really has no influence. Therefore, he did not catch up with Cannes, while the Venice Film Festival was over there. , although he sent it to the exhibition, but after reviewing it, the film festival organizer only gave a quota for one screening unit, and Yu Bojun finally rejected it. As for the Berlin Film Festival... this film can't wait until that time.

Therefore, Yu Bojun has decided to take this film out to test the waters and build a reputation. As for the film festival, he has decided not to get involved.

…………

Because of drinking, in the end, it was Liao Liao who drove over to pick him up.

On the way back in the car, looking at the trees, lights, and pedestrians on both sides of the road that were receding rapidly, and looking at the blurred urban colors, Li Qian suddenly thought of the pure smile of the movie Mileage Bottle.

Pulling out his phone, he took the initiative to dial it.

When the call was connected, he smiled and said, "Sister, it's me, haven't you slept?"

Cheng Suping's voice was somewhat tired and slightly hoarse, "Well, no, I'm watching a TV series with my little sister! A Japanese romance movie...Is something wrong?"

Li Qian blinked - his time to learn to sing with the old man was not too short, but he didn't know that Cheng Suping had a "little sister", but he didn't ask much, just said: "Your voice... …”

"Oh, it's alright. I've had two games in the afternoon, and my throat is a little tired. I'll be fine after a night's rest." She explained slowly.

"Oh, that's good." Li Qian nodded, and then said, "I'll go to Brother Yu in the afternoon and watch the final cut of the play... You should have seen it too, right?"

On the other end of the phone, Cheng Suping gave a "um", and then smiled: "After finishing the final editing, Director Yu called and made an appointment with a few of us. I happened to be free at the time, so I went over to take a look, I don't know if it was I'm inexperienced, anyway, I watched the film pretty well, and I think my acting was okay... Why, you didn't call me to praise me, right?"

That's what it means!

Li Qian smiled a little embarrassedly, reacted immediately, and said, "That's not true, but, indeed, as an actor who is acting in a movie for the first time, your performance is really remarkable."

On the other end of the phone, Cheng Subing laughed softly when she heard the words, and before she could speak, a girl's voice suddenly said, "Oh, it's not a boyfriend, where is there so much to say? , I want to say you go and say, don't disturb me watching TV!"

Li Qian was stunned.

On the other end of the phone, Cheng Suping said helplessly: "Okay, okay, this is what you said, I won't watch it with you!"

Then, there was no extra sound over there soon.

After a while, Cheng Suping said again: "No way, my little sister has such a spoiled temper. Well, where did you just say? You called on purpose, is there something?"

"Uh..." Li Qian hesitated for a while, then smiled helplessly, and said, "There's really nothing else to do, you guessed it right, I just want to praise your performance!"

Cheng Suping laughed lightly.

After a while, she said slowly as always: "Okay, your sister Xinyi knows."

Li Qian touched his nose and said, "That's ok, then you can go to sleep, I'm hanging up!"

On the other end of the phone, Cheng Suping responded lightly, "Well, good night. Don't keep yourself too busy all the time. When you have time, come over to have a meal at home. The old man and the old lady are talking about you all day long, saying that you recently I'm so busy, I haven't been here for a long time."

Li Qian was silent for a moment when he heard the words, then agreed and said, "I'll go back."

"Well, good." Cheng Suping said: "Remember to call before you come, and my sister will go back and cook for you."

Li Qian smiled and agreed again, waiting for the other side to hang up the phone first, then hung up and put away the phone.

Liao Liao, who was driving, couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Li Qian. Seeing Li Qian's wistful expression, he couldn't help but sneer, "Hey, sir, can you give me some face! Just hooking up with my sister in front of me. , is it not good?"

Hearing this yin and yang voice, Li Qian couldn't help but leaned back on his seat and laughed.

"If you don't say I almost forgot, get off and go to Sheeppen Hutong!"

"Let me drive you over there...dream!"

Li Qian laughed when he heard the words, and soon, he couldn't help but complain, "Your driving skills... scum!"

Liao Liao smiled disdainfully at that time, "Be content, brother, it would be good if you can learn it! I studied for more than three months last year!"

Li Qian laughed again after hearing this.

If being with Wang Jinglu will give him a feeling of mutual support, then Xie Bing can really make him, a person who is used to the social trend of small men and big women in another time and space, truly and truly in this time and space I feel a sense of accomplishment of having three wives and four concubines. When I arrived at Zhou Hao's place, the feeling was a bit difficult to describe, it seemed a bit... Once the golden wind and jade dew met, there were countless feelings in the world.

And Liao Liao... Whenever he is with her, when the two of you come to me and fight subconsciously, he will always let him unconsciously put the thoughts in his head that have gone somewhere. , pulled back in an instant.

She made him realize: I am now truly living in this time and space.

My name is Li Qian~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Drama is like life, but life is not necessarily a drama.

As long as you stretch out your hand, you can touch everything that is real in front of you!

…………

After a while, Liao Liao couldn't help but say, "Oh, it's alright, itchy... Brother, I'm driving! Go back and feel whatever you want? Okay, stop..."

***

I feel like I don't have enough time every day!

When my thinking is stuck, I hope to have more time to clarify my thinking. When my thinking is smooth, I hope to have more time for me to write a little more, or revise it again, and write this chapter to the best of my ability. .

However, it must be updated before twelve o'clock. This is my red line, and it will never be crossed!

Therefore, sometimes more, sometimes less, but I have never compromised the effort I put into the daily update. (To be continued.)
