China Entertainment started from art school

Chapter 118
Li Jingkun plucked the strings casually, adjusted the tone slightly, and tried again. "It's been a long time since I played it. In fact, no matter how busy I was, I would take it out and play it every day, just because I was afraid that the setback would be too serious."

Lu Yu said, "Do you want to maintain the touch?"

"Yes, but sometimes there is no way to make a movie; and once this kind of thing is put down, it is more difficult to pick it up again." Li Jingkun began to pluck the strings regularly, and the melody of "Song of Thousand Thousand Que" Just ran out.

The voice was crisp and the melody was pleasant; the scene fell silent, and Li Jingkun sang a few words casually.

"In the future, even if there are thousands of songs

Floating far away on my way

Even if there are thousands of evening stars in the future
brighter than the moon tonight
Can't compare to this night's beauty
亦 绝 不 可 使 更 欣赏

Ah because of you to sing with me tonight

······"

"Wow, it sounds good." Lu Yu took the lead in applauding, and the audience also cheered.

Li Jingkun's singing skills are not bad, and the timbre and sense of sound are good; the vocal teacher also said that he is not bad in the comfort zone and the voice change zone, but he has not been trained for a long time, and his progress has been slow over the years.

But it is enough to be a pop singer. After all, many popular singers have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they are not all popular?
To be a singer you don't have to be top-notch to do it.If you can find a song that suits you and has a good melody, that’s enough; if you can express the emotion of the song and sing the moving melody, you can be regarded as an excellent singer.

After all, there are many kinds of songs, including high notes and low notes, cheerful and low notes. You can’t say that a certain singer is not worthy of being a singer if he can’t sing high notes. You can only say which type of professional singer he is more suitable for.

In fact, many high-pitched songs are quite disgusting to listen to. They are only high-pitched for the high-pitched, completely losing the beauty of the song and the melody.

"Zhang Huixian, right?" Lu Yu said.

"Yes, she is the original singer, but Brother Zhang's version is also very classic."

"You speak Cantonese quite standard, and you sing well."

"My language talent is not bad."

"Really? I heard that your English is also good. How many languages ​​do you know?"

Li Jingkun thought for a while and said, "I can speak five languages."

"Five kinds? That's amazing!" Lu Yu was surprised, and the current audience was also somewhat admiring and uproarious.

Lu Yu said, "Which five are they?"

"English, Cantonese." Li Jingkun stretched out five fingers, and then retracted them one by one.

"Well, there are two kinds, what else?"

"Chinese, Hakka, and our native dialect."

"..."

Lu Yu was speechless, and the people present were also taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"You know five languages?" Lu Yu said.

"Isn't it? There are five kinds." Li Jingkun said with a smile.

"Yes, there are five kinds, that's right." Of course Lu Yu couldn't say no, "I think we'd better listen to you sing."

"sure."

"Sing a complete song."

"Okay, then I'll sing my own song and get familiar with it."

So Li Jingkun sang "Ten Thousand Times of Sadness".

"...

[-] times of sadness
there will still be dreams
I have been waiting for you in the warmest place

Seems like there's only one direction

cannot be changed

······"

After the two episodes were finished, Lu Yu sent a message saying that the ratings were good, especially the second episode; even the ratings of the rerun were okay.But her focus was not on this. She said that the program group planned to invite several leading actors of "Introduction to Architecture" to record a program and asked him if he wanted to go.

Li Jingkun doesn't want to participate in the show for the time being, because he said enough last time.However, Li Xian and Gu Xiaona can participate to increase their exposure.So I declined her, saying that I would go again when I had the opportunity.

After reading the comments for a while, I was very happy.

"You sang really well, it sounds good. Hurry up and release the new album!"

"Is "Ten Thousand Times of Sorrow" sung by Li Jingkun? I was stupid. I used to listen to it often, but I didn't realize it."

"'Aurora Band' written by the singer, Li Jingkun formed a band with others in high school. He is one of the lead singers. If you don’t pay attention, you will ignore it.”

"It's awesome, and it's the first time I know about it. I'm a movie fan who just entered the pit not long ago. Thank you for popular science!"

"Haha, that counts as knowing five languages? Then I know three!"

"To be honest, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just one language."

"Lu Yu is speechless, hahaha."

"Honest man? Be humble. It's impossible for an honest man to know everyone in the class. Usually, after a whole year of studying, I can't even recognize half of the people in the class. Many people haven't talked to each other for a whole year... "..."

·······
The main work during this period of time is recording songs.

For the ten new songs, I wrote the lyrics and composed the music; I also followed up the arrangement, so I was very busy.

Moreover, he also found jobs such as recording studio and producer by himself, which he is familiar with.

I did it once when I was in high school, but with money and resources, it is easier to find, and this is Kyoto, there are as many good recording studios and producers as there are.

At the same time, for this album, he registered a music company called Zetian Records.

"Hello, my name is Wu Rui, and I'm a rapper."

Although the arrangement is also planned to be done by himself, and although there are many professional recording studios, Li Jingkun finally found a well-known producer to make an album for himself, so that he can save worry and effort.Of course, the price is not cheap, but the speed and quality will be guaranteed.

The producer of "22" is looking for musician Yang Jiasong, who has produced songs and albums for many singers, such as Tian Zhen, Shuimu Band and so on.

I have recorded four songs before, because one of them has a little rap part, so I asked him to help find a rap artist.

He took a few singers' works for him to try out, and then Li Jingkun chose this singer named Wu Rui, and made an appointment to come and record.

"I'm still here, suffering in silence, no one echoes
has it been a long time
How can you be so stupid to wait for you to come back? What kind of expectation is this?

love words all become pale
Milky Way that night

stars in your eyes

Do you still remember

The first song I wrote for you
But now it's just me

"

In fact, at the beginning, I also considered whether to find a more famous singer, such as Lin Xiaojie who I met before.

But Li Jingkun is not well-known in the music circle, and many people even don't think he is a professional singer.Because in the eyes of many people, one must have at least one or two albums to be considered a singer; some people are more strict, and even think that there must be at least three solo albums, and only after the baptism of the market can they be considered a real singer.

So if you invite some first- and second-tier singers to sing with him, it is equivalent to letting them take me down, and let them use their popularity to help him gain popularity.

If this is the case, it is equivalent to owed favors. After all, they do not lack the money for the chorus, and they are not from their company, so they have no obligation to bring themselves.

So in the end, I still think that I can just spend money to find a rapper. After all, I don’t think it is necessary to owe a favor to a song, and there are still quite a lot of good rappers in China, but because of the market, many of them are not famous.

"It's okay, it's good, but this time we slow down a bit and try again."

There are not many rap parts. After grinding for about a few hours, the two also sang together a few times, and there is basically no problem.

"Thank you, let's have dinner together later." Li Jingkun said.

"It's ok, it's not hard, I like this song too. It will definitely become popular." Wu Rui said.

"Lend your auspicious words."

In the evening, I had a meal with Wu Rui, Yang Jiasong and others nearby, and the main topic during the period was of course the album "22".

Yang Jiasong's evaluation of the album is very good, and he hopes to make it out as soon as possible.

Only then did Wu Rui realize that Li Jingkun was not planning to release a single, but an album, and all ten songs were written, composed and arranged by himself.

"You are the eldest brother!" Wu Rui gave him a thumbs up.

"Then you also wrote the rap part today?" Wu Rui continued to ask.

"Yes."

"Then you can also rap?"

"A little bit. But I can't frrestyle."

"You know enough!"

Wu Rui also talked about some things in the rap industry, including the music they are making, and some interesting stories about some singers; Li Jingkun is not familiar with many of the singers he mentioned, so he just listened to them as stories and chatted.

"I might bother you if there is a place where you need to leave the country for the MV shooting later." Li Jingkun said.

"No problem, it's my pleasure." Wu Rui said.

"When the album comes out, I'll give you a few copies."

"Okay, it's better to have a signature, haha."

"no problem."

During this period, "Introduction to Architecture" was also screened in Southeast Asia. The results were not bad, and they all made money, but it was not much compared to the domestic box office.

The word-of-mouth is not bad, but the box office is not a hit, maybe because the director and actors are not well-known; it may also be affected by the fact that it was not released at the same time as the domestic one.

Bangziguo wanted to invite the director and a few actors to come over to make an announcement, and they would pay for the transportation; but Gu Xiaona and the others had to go to school, and Li Jingkun didn't want to go, so he didn't go.

Li Jingkun would go if he was invited before it was released in China, because it can stimulate the domestic box office.But now the time is wrong, and going there is not very useful, so forget it.

The preparatory work for "Hummingbird" has also started. After all, two films have been filmed, and this time it is also a modern drama, so the preparatory work is not difficult to start.

The new crew basically signed people who were before "Introduction to Architecture", and a few people who have found other jobs will be replenished.

I have also started to look for actors. For supporting roles, I can basically find some actors with acting skills but not so famous. There is no shortage of such actors.

So the company's proposal is to exchange resources and cooperate with some companies; after all, they have signed artists themselves now.Even if you don't need it now, you can first establish a good relationship with a few companies.

After all, you can't make all the money for yourself, and Longqi Film and Television and Li Jingkun also have to win some contacts.Entertainment is originally a circle, and mutual benefit can survive better.

Naturally, Li Jingkun had no objections, but some important characters still had to be reviewed by him first, and then confirmed after he nodded.

No matter what, you have to pass the acting skills, and you can't ruin the quality of the work for the sake of relationship.

The investors of "Hummingbird" are Longqi Film and Television, Huaying and Perfect World, but this time they brought in two more.You can't make all the money by yourself, the bigger you get, the more friends you make.

Moreover, the theme this time is not as attractive as the previous works, and it is okay to share more risks.

Although the production budget is not much, only 1200 million; and the bulk of it was taken away by him and Zhou Dongyu...

However, because it is his own work, Li Jingkun's director does not get a lot of remuneration, and he mainly takes the remuneration plus sharing model.

And the music album has been produced for almost two months, and it was completed around November.However, there is still a little bit of effort in the later stage, so the time to market has not yet been determined, and it may not be available until next year at the earliest.

The completed "Hummingbird" will also be launched in early December.

But before that, it will take more than ten days to finish filming "Positive Physique".

The heroine of "Positive Physique" is Gu Xiaona, and the male supporting role is Sun Hao. Other small supporting roles are also easy to choose because there are not many roles.Some are professional actors found outside, and some are students hired by the school.

The shooting location is directly in Kyoto, because the shooting cycle is not long and the scene is not complicated.There are a lot of campus scenes, and a lot of indoor scenes.So shooting in Kyoto will not be much more expensive.

"Crack!"

The executive director this time is Wang Yang. The script has been discussed with him many times, and he basically understands what the director wants. Therefore, in many cases, Li Jingkun does not need to come to see the camera in person, and he knows that he needs to reshoot.

"The tempo is a bit too fast, both of them, slow down a little bit, and try again."

Li Jingkun and Sun Hao in the field expressed their understanding, and then did it all over again.

"Call again!"

In a corner of the campus, the two were sitting on a long stone chair, and Sun Hao pushed his mobile phone to him.

"No, I can't do it, too..."

Seeing his cowardly appearance, Sun Hao looked at him angrily, not knowing what to say.

Just at this time, the phone on the chair rang, and the two looked down together.

"It's Fang Xiaona, right?" Sun Hao was a little surprised, you shouldn't be running away now, right?

"It should be someone else." Li Jingkun still chose to give a shit.

"Answer the phone!" Sun Hao pushed the phone to him.

"It must be someone else." Li Jingkun pushed the phone back.

"Accept!" The phone was pushed over.

"It must be someone else!" The phone was pushed back.

"Ah, answer the phone!"

"It's someone else."

"Ah!! Answer the phone quickly!"

"..."

This work is easier to shoot than "The Days of the Sky", because there are more outdoor scenes in the next two episodes of "The Days of the Sky", while "Positive Physique" not only takes up most of the dialogue, but also has relatively simple scenes.So as long as the actors perform well, it is not difficult to operate.

Two days later, Gu Xiaona also joined the group, and then started filming the part between her and Li Jingkun.

"This character is a little different from yours in "Introduction to Architecture". In this short film, you need to be a little bit cooler. One is because you are the senior sister of 'I', and the other is because in this short film 'I' 'Because of self-esteem or something, many places are a bit cowardly and hesitant, and then you need to push forward at this time."

"Understood." Gu Xiaona nodded.

The characters have different personalities, so of course the shapes have to be different.

She needs to look a little bigger than Li Jingkun at this time, or she can't look obviously smaller than him, so the makeup will be a little more mature; the most conspicuous thing is that in some scenes, she wears a little red lipstick.

The first part of Gu Xiaona's filming is the content of the hero's memory, which is the reason why the two were together in the first place.

Gu Xiaona is a senior from the acting department, and Li Jingkun is a junior from the director department. They first met at a milk tea shop, and it was the senior sister who took the initiative to strike up a conversation.Then the two left the milk tea shop and chatted outside together.They also skipped classes together, went to dinner together and so on.

"I'd like an Americano."

"Two cups! Well, isn't there a discount for the second cup?"

·····
"I received an audition rejection notice today."

"What if you lose the election once, now it's like this..."

"It's the hundredth time. Today is exactly the hundredth time."

"Ah...that's amazing."

"Are you kidding me? How amazing is it to fail a hundred auditions?"

"It's amazing to be able to challenge a hundred times, like the kind of person who doesn't rely on appearance but enthusiasm."

······
"I'm skipping class today, what about you?"

"If I go back, I won't come out."

"Then play with me today."

"It's the thing that makes boys jealous - ok, but please don't touch me, and if you touch me I'll tell my mom."

"Puff haha, you are too funny."

"Really tell my mom."

The two got acquainted in this way, and Gu Xiaona was completely attracted by Li Jingkun, because she felt that this boy was very smart and funny, so the two skipped classes, hung out together, and went to eat together.

In the end, the two came in the first kiss scene.

"Positive Physique" has two or three kiss scenes...
Yes, the 60-minute short has a few kissing scenes.

But in fact, it's basically just a taste of the way, basically just post it, and then don't move.The kind of skills they teach in "Introduction to Architecture" are not used at all.

In fact, this is a romantic love inspirational short film, that is to say, both inspiration and love are quite important, so it has to be more romantic.Therefore, although there are no other actions in the kiss scene, the sticking time will be longer.

Multi-angle, long time, so not to mention anything else, each other's breath and body fragrance can still be absorbed and felt.

Nobody can hold their breath for that long...
And sometimes there are one or two more shots, which made the two of them laugh a bit in the end.

Laughter is not enough. After all, sometimes laughter is not because it is funny, and it is not just to cover up emotions.

"Crack! It's fine, it's good, let's change the game!"

The first two kissing scenes were actually nothing, the location was the same, the angle was the same, they just changed their outfits, indicating that they happened at different times.

There was also a kissing scene before the finale. This time it means that the works of the protagonists have been successfully completed, and the two have come together again.The two then went on for a walk in the park.

Yes, this short film has many scenes of walking and chatting, eating and chatting, and office chatting.

So that's one of the reasons why they can make it so fast and smooth......
At this time, Gu Xiaona still had long hair and red lips. She was wearing an off-white sweater on her top, tight black trousers underneath, and a small lady's shoulder bag.

"Forget it, don't mention that matter again." Gu Xiaona said.

"It's even more strange for you to say that. When you tell the other party what you think, be a little more rational and calm. You have to think about the process of the argument for everything..."

"Okay! Don't say any more!" Gu Xiaona raised her hands in surrender, her eyes almost rolled to the sky.

She admitted that his nagging is very cute a lot of times, but sometimes it is a bit annoying, maybe this is the inherent problem of the creator?More verbose than a woman?
Li Jingkun was indeed quiet for a while, so the two continued to walk, but he still couldn't bear it for long: "If you talk to someone a lot, tell him to stop talking..."

Gu Xiaona turned around directly, took his face with both hands and kissed him, and then quickly let go.

Li Jingkun was a little dazed, and walked with his mouth covered.

Gu Xiaona also pretended to be nonchalant and continued walking.

But Li Jingkun was really a little surprised, so before the filming just started, he also taught her some skills. In this kind of scene, when holding his face, you can put your thumb on the other's lips. When kissing at the end In fact, he kissed his thumb.

But it was obvious that Gu Xiaona didn't do this just now, so he was really a little confused...
But the executive director didn't stop it, so they could only continue acting.

After being dazed for a while, Li Jingkun couldn't help but to speak, he said with a smile: "My theory is..."

So Gu Xiaona gave another reward, and the smile on the corner of her mouth could no longer be concealed.

Then······
"Crack!"

Wang Yang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Jing Kun, the first time I did a good job, but I shouldn't show surprise the second time, I think I need to do it again."

"······Ok, no problem."

Of course Li Jingkun knew that the problem was on his side, but in fact it wasn't on his side.

Is she in love with the show or something?
He couldn't help turning his head to look at Gu Xiaona, only to find that he had already turned around and returned to the previous position.

I have to walk over there again!

You won't NG too many times, right?
