Chapter 125 Stars Concert

The crew of Tianlong Babu has finally decided on actors, and there is still some preparatory work to be done.

Zhang Jizong said hello to Jiang Changsheng, and it is expected to start around August 8th. This movie will be shot on location, Zhang Jizong is really serious and rigorous in filming.

The filming locations of this drama range from Yanjing to Xinchang, Yongkang, Jinhuamen, and Taohua Island in Zejiang, and will go to Dali and Lijiang in Yunnan in the future.

After entering the crew, tossing is indispensable.

Jiang Changsheng still has about ten days of vacation.

The Twilight Saga is over, and Jiang Changsheng doesn't plan to release a new book, nor does he want to make a new album for the time being, and plans to lie down completely during the holidays.

He inquired about the reservoir on the outskirts of Yanjing and planned to go fishing there.

Cultivate sentiment.

Unexpectedly, he received a call from Chen Mang, inviting him to participate in the star concerts in Huaguo and Korea.

This year marks the [-]th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Huaguo and Korea. The government has held many cultural exchange activities, and this star concert is one of them.

Or one of the most important activities of all.

Yangshi invited Jiang Changsheng in early July, but he declined because he was too busy.

Now that Chen Mang called, Jiang Changsheng couldn't refuse. After all, Chen Mang and him were true friends, and they had helped him a lot before.

Without Chen Mang's matchmaking, he and Liu Xiaohui's co-production drama did not go so smoothly.

On the morning of August 8th, Jiang Changsheng drove to Yangshi Building and met Chen Mang on the 9th floor.

Chen Mang's eyes were a little red, and the dark circles under his eyes were serious, Jiang Changsheng said with concern: "Be careful to rest, Sister Chen, you are so haggard."

Chen Mang sighed: "Hey, it's not because of the concert of the stars of the two countries. Originally, this concert was in charge of the media business department.

As a result, during the rehearsal last week, the leader was very dissatisfied and lost his temper on the spot, and handed over the task of the concert to our news commentary department.

In the past few days, I have been so busy preparing for the concert that I don't even have time to sleep. "

Jiang Changsheng asked suspiciously: "Change generals just before the battle? This is not very good, why does the leader do this?"

Chen Mang rubbed his temples, and sighed: "On the day of the rehearsal, a big leader came to inspect, and the big leader was dissatisfied and criticized a few words.

How can the leaders in the station not act, and they can't take care of changing generals just in time.

After the big leader watched the rehearsal, he called you by name on the spot and praised you as a representative singer of our country.

The station knows that I am familiar with you, so I handed over the concert to the news commentary department. "

Jiang Changsheng smiled wryly: "After a long time, I still killed Sister Chen."

"That's not the case. Although this concert is hard work, if it's done well, it's also an opportunity to show your face in front of the big leaders. Many departments in the station don't want it.

If I can invite you here, it's half the battle. "

Chen Mang said: "It's just that the time is a bit tight, the concert will be held on August 8, which is the 24th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Only half a month left.

The big leaders disliked that our previous establishment was too petty, with no structure, and the choice of singing and dancing had no cultural characteristics, so in addition to inviting you, I also invited big-name singers from the three places on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, as well as some folk singers.

Goryeo also invited their most popular artists, trying to make the scene bigger. "

Chen Mang poured Jiang Changsheng a cup of tea and said his request: "I want you to sing two songs, one in English, expressing an attitude of being open and in line with international standards, and one in ancient style, showing the characteristics of our country culture.

You can choose to sing alone, or you can sing with singers from Korea. "

Jiang Changsheng still valued his friends very much. He said to Chen Mang, "I can do whatever you want, Sister Chen. Don't worry, I will definitely use [-]% of my strength to add luster to this concert."

Chen Mang smiled and said, "That's good, I'll be waiting to hug your thigh, Sister Chen!"

"In this way, Sister Chen, you promote it to the outside world. I will sing two new songs at the concert, one in English and one in ancient style."

Either don't do it, or do it best.

Jiang Changsheng asked Chen Mang to do it by himself. After thinking for a while in the office, he decided to come up with two songs.

Adele's famous song Rolling In The Deep, this is a Grammy-level golden song, mainly because this song has a catchy melody and strong explosive power, which is suitable for singing in concerts.

This song is very difficult to sing, but Jiang Changsheng has no problem singing opera 2 now, and this song can also be won steadily.

The second song is the silk-drawing play. Jiang Changsheng considered singing Chi Ling, after all, "the friendship between China and South Korea depends on Japan, and the friendship between China and Japan depends on South Korea."

But considering that it is a cultural exchange occasion, it is not suitable to sing the hatred of the country and the people.

I also considered that the new imperial concubine was drunk, and felt that there was nothing to promote about Concubine Yang.

Finally, I think of silk-drawing opera. The background of this song is the puppet show of the Song Dynasty. The so-called hanging silk puppets and string puppets are the same traditional culture of our country as shadow puppetry.

Moreover, the opera singing in the silk-drawing opera is also very unique, and it is also part of cultural promotion.

In the end, the song "Drawing the Silk Opera" was nice, and Jiang Changsheng himself liked it very much.

After thinking about the song, he greeted Chen Mang and came to Warner Ryefield alone.

It took three days for Jiang Changsheng to complete the arrangement of two songs.

After Jiang Changsheng thought about it, he simply recorded the two songs in the recording studio. He recorded Rolling In The Deep as a single CD and handed it over to Tian Xingguo.

Jiang Changsheng's English album was very popular, and Warner Music Group has been urging Jiang Changsheng to release a new album, but Jiang Changsheng was unmoved, and some senior management of Warner had great opinions on this.

Tian Xingguo said a lot of good things in the middle, and he also endured a certain amount of pressure.

Jiang Changsheng simply recorded this song as a single, handed it over to Tian Xingguo, and asked him to give it to Warner executives, and after the concert, it can be released globally.

It not only relieves Tian Xingguo's pressure, but also contributes to his performance.

After Tian Xingguo got the single, he was very happy. He said on the spot that he would learn one more Russian language tonight. As for how to learn, he should discuss it with Russian beauties.

On August 8th, Jiang Changsheng participated in a rehearsal. He made his final appearance, and the two songs shocked the audience. Chen Mang laughed from ear to ear after listening to it.

She felt that she was stable, and the feeling of hugging Jiang Changsheng's thigh was really refreshing.

Jiang Changsheng felt that it was not perfect, especially the stage effect of the Silk Drawing Opera was mediocre and did not reflect the essence of opera.

For this reason, he contacted his elder sister Zeng Li and asked her for advice on opera opera.

Zeng Li was born in Peking Opera and has her own understanding of opera. After watching Jiang Changsheng's performance, she said: "Your voice is very good, but there is a problem with the pronunciation of the opera, the position of the voice and the rhythm of the tune are wrong.

This can be adjusted. After all, your song is still a popular song, and a professional accent may not necessarily sound better.

In addition, I suggest that you change into costumes when you sing, and paint opera masks on your face.

You can also design some opera moves to enrich the stage effect. "

For the past two days, Jiang Changsheng has been suffering from the imperfect effect of the thread-drawing play, and he has never been able to think of the reason. After listening to Zeng Li's words, he was inspired and very excited.

Unable to hold back for a moment, she immediately hugged Zeng Li and turned around in place a few times.

Zeng Li was hugged by Jiang Changsheng, feeling his strong arms and the seemingly absent sandalwood on her body, she was dizzy.

Once the excitement was over, Jiang Changsheng came back to his senses, he seemed to be forcibly hugging the big girl of the Chinese opera.

Jiang Changsheng didn't panic either, because he could feel that Zeng Li didn't resist his hug, not only didn't resist, he even enjoyed it a little.

He put Zeng Li down steadily, and thanked sincerely: "Thank you, Sister Zeng, your words inspired me, I was too obsessed with opera culture before.

The song Pulling Silk Opera is a popular song, I should get rid of the shackles of opera. "

Zeng Li was slightly disappointed, she slapped Jiang Changsheng lightly to hide her shyness, "Just thank you verbally? There is no sincerity at all.

When you have something to do, come to my sister and me, and when you have nothing to do, forget about me completely. "

There was a little resentment in his tone.

Jiang Changsheng chuckled: "I'm busy these few days, so I'll definitely treat you to dinner later."

Eating is the most suitable way to thank him. If Jiang Changsheng told Zeng Li the role, Zeng Li might turn his back on him, and there are some things that cannot be stated clearly.

Afterwards, Zeng Li demonstrated the correct way to pronounce opera tunes, and Jiang Changsheng learned it for a day, and made improvements based on popular singing methods.

Singing the silk-drawing opera again, the effect is indeed better than before.

He found Chen Mang again, and said to her: "I hope to find some professional dancers to dance with me for the song Pulling the Silk Opera, and at the same time, I will perform the dance performance myself.

The silk-drawing show is a puppet show, and I will design a mechanical dance to act as a puppet;
I have a dramatic face painted on my face, wear modern clothes, and dance mechanically. I think it is a new attempt.

The combination of Chinese and Western cultures will produce unexpected results.

I also need Wia equipment to achieve the best effect. "

There are still 8 days before the start of the concert. If other people had made such a request, Chen Mang would have told him to leave.

But Jiang Changsheng was different, she thought about it.

"Okay, I can meet all your requirements, but there is one thing, if the effect is not good, we can go back to the way of the first rehearsal, okay?"

"it is good!"

Jiang Changsheng agreed, and then began the special training.
