Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 117: The Miserable Conference, Talent

Qin Chuan had come here on time, so he didn't stay in the sun for long. He signed in and queued up, and it was his turn soon.

As soon as he entered the tent, Qin Chuan said, "Hello, teachers. My name is Qin Chuan. I am bringing you an original song, Drum Tower."

It was just an open audition. Others were just using basic attacks, but he used skills as soon as he came up.

The two judges interviewed so many people today, but this was the first time they saw someone singing an original song. They were a little surprised at first, but then they looked down at Qin Chuan's resume.

21 years old, graduated from high school, released two singles at his own expense, and is a folk singer.

The two were not surprised.

To put it bluntly, writing lyrics and composing music is not a difficult task. Regardless of the quality, even a junior high school student can compose a few songs.

Mainly, Qin Chuan released the single at his own expense.

It can be seen that his ability has not been recognized by specialized record companies.

About average.

"Please begin your performance."

With the guitar hanging on his shoulder, Qin Chuan strummed the strings and began to sing.

"I'm standing on the Drum Tower..."

After the song was finished, the two judges looked at each other and asked, "Are you sure you haven't signed a contract with a record company?"

With his singing skills, guitar playing, and ability to write lyrics and compose music, he doesn't look like a young man who came from a rough and tumble background.

"I'm pretty sure, no."

"Snapped!"

The judges gave Qin Chuan a pass note and stamped it.

"You passed."

"Thank you, teacher."

"Wait, you look familiar to me." One of the judges pushed his glasses and said, "Have we met before somewhere?"

Qin Chuan scratched his head and laughed: "In addition to occasionally writing songs and singing, I also work part-time as an actor. Maybe you are watching my play."

The judges became interested: "What play did you perform?"

"effort."

"Is it Zhou Xingchi's Kung Fu?"

"Correct!"

The judges' eyes widened: "Who are you playing?"

"Brother Chen."

"Hey, Axe Gang leader, nice to meet you."

It’s no wonder that the judges didn’t recognize Qin Chuan. His image now is very different from that on the screen.

In Kung Fu, he has a slicked-back hair, his skin is deliberately tanned, he has black teeth, and a fake beard is glued on his lips.

Human skin cells are renewed every twenty days or so. It's been so long since Qin Chuan started filming, so their skin cells are now white and tender.

After changing his hairstyle, taking off his fake beard, and dressing like a college student today, he no longer looks like a gangster.

The reason why he was recognized at the vegetable market before was largely because the people around him were all neighbors and knew he was an actor.

If Brother Chen only somewhat resembles Qin Chuan, then the name on the cast list at the end of the movie makes it more certain that it is him.

"you are welcome."

Qin Chuan clasped his hands, took the pass note, and left the tent with a smile.

When they got back to the car, Wang Tingting asked, "It took you less than ten minutes to get in and out. So fast?"

Qin Chuan handed her the note: "Please keep it for me. I will need it next week."

"okay."

Fastening his seat belt, Qin Chuan drove home.

The first thing he did was to update his blog, announcing his participation in the Star Boulevard, giving his 1.6 million fans a surprise.

Liu Sisi commented excitedly: "Come on, go go go!!"

"Brother, you finally sang. Do you know how long we have been waiting?"

"If you want to sing, sing well, don't act in TV dramas."

"Fuck, are you an actor or a singer? You're jumping back and forth between the two."

"Stop talking, just release an album, you sell it and Auntie buys it."

At this time, another singer from Avenue of Stars who had just passed the audition was surfing the Internet and also saw Qin Chuan's blog.

His name is Li Yugang, and he came to the Star Boulevard just to make his debut.

Those who stand in the way will die.

Seeing Qin Chuan's rising popularity, he had a bad feeling, so he searched for Qin Chuan's information.

The combined download volume of the two songs exceeds 10 million.

"Shit, is this really an actor?"

The number of downloads has exceeded 10 million, he is definitely a professional singer, how can you tell me he is an actor?
After listening to Qin Chuan's two songs several times, Li Yugang frowned and said, "This person's strength is not inferior to mine. He is a strong rival."

He was referring to singing skills.

When it comes to writing lyrics and composing music, he is not as good as Qin Chuan. At least so far, he has no representative works.

Like most amateur singers, he is still in the cover singing stage.

In Peking, a company, Phoenix Legend is also paying attention to the Avenue of Stars. They were originally going to sign up this month.

After looking at each other, the two decided to stagger their registration and sign up next month.

The competition system of "Star Avenue" is different from other variety shows.

The first stage is a dazzling appearance. Each group of five will sing a song together. The judges will eliminate one contestant based on the first impression and the contestant's performance.

The second round is a talent competition. The remaining four people sing a song each. The judges eliminate the last contestant based on the difficulty and uniqueness of the song.

The third round, the beauty of the region, the beauty of hometown. The remaining three people sang songs about their hometown or their favorite city, and the last one was also eliminated.

In the fourth stage, Beyond Dreams, the remaining two contestants sang their favorite songs, and the judges selected the weekly champion based on their singing level and expressiveness.

The same competition system applies to other groups this month.

The final contestants include three weekly champions and a challenger who emerged from the resurrection match, and the four of them will compete on the same stage.

The last person alive will be the champion of the month and will advance directly to the finals.

In the next month, other contestants will continue to use the above method to determine the monthly champion in the finals.

The Star Boulevard competition lasts for three months in total. In the end, the three monthly champions will compete on the same stage, and the champion will be able to sing on the Spring Festival Gala.

So even if they don’t sign up this month, it won’t affect them if they come back next month.

……

Five days later, CCTV backstage lounge.

As soon as Qin Chuan pushed the door open, the four contestants inside stood up at the same time.

"Hello, teacher!"

"Hello."

"I really like watching your movies. The acting is so good."

“The song is good too.”

As soon as Qin Chuan entered the room, several people stood up and greeted him.

The information about these people says they are farmers, tricycle riders, workers in electronics factories, and shepherds.

As a result, he spoke fluent Mandarin and knew Qin Chuan's background.

Cow!

"I'm just here to make up the numbers. I usually sing as a side job. I can't compare to you guys. Please give me some advice." "Oh, no, no, your song is very popular, with tens of millions of downloads."

Qin Chuan didn't expect that he would be killed as soon as he came up. These four people were obviously pointing their guns at him.

I guess they were planning to get him away first.

Hearing their sarcastic tone, Qin Chuan stopped pretending and found a place to sit down, close his eyes and rest, waiting for the rehearsal.

Yes, there are rehearsals for the Avenue of Stars as well.

The first stage is a five-person singing session. Without rehearsal, no one knows who will sing which line.

Soon, the music director came in holding a box and said, "To be fair, I'll write the lyrics you're going to sing on slips of paper."

"Sing whichever part you draw."

Except for Qin Chuan, the other four people looked unhappy. They originally thought it was a vote or self-nomination, but they didn't expect it to be a draw.

This is a difficult problem. In a song, the chorus is undoubtedly the most popular part.

The one who drew the ending was the unlucky one, because the nice parts were all sung by the people before.

"Who comes first?"

"Let me do it."

No one was fighting for it this time. There's no point fighting for something that relies on luck.

Someone took the lead, and the others started drawing lots one by one. Qin Chuan opened the note and was happy.

The song was "Sword Like a Dream" by Zhou Huajian. What a coincidence, he was in the first chorus.

"You can all sing, right?" The director glanced at the few people. He said they were folk music lovers, but these people in front of him were not good people.

Just one person he knew was a professional singer who had just quit his record company in order to participate in the Star Boulevard.

"no problem."

"no problem."

"Then let's go to rehearsal. Follow me and don't wander around."

The director led a few people all the way to the studio.

On the stage, there were special people setting up standing positions for them and lining them up in a row.

Qin Chuan's luck was not so good this time. He was a little tall and stood at the very edge.

Two hours later, the rehearsal was over.

Everyone dispersed.

Some said they would have a good sleep when they got home, while others said it seemed there was no hope and planned to visit the scenic spot.

As for whether they stayed up late to practice singing when they returned, no one knew.

Anyway, Qin Chuan survived.

After more than half a year, he picked up the Nuo instruments again and sang "Swords and Swords Are Like Dreams" in his dream.

After the filming of The Legend of Sword and Fairy was completed, he never touched the Nuo equipment again. After resting for more than half a year, his body, mind and spirit finally recovered to their peak.

Singing in a dream is different from experiencing life in a dream. The former is much simpler and has fewer side effects.

……

The next afternoon, Qin Chuan came to the CCTV studio.

When he saw his old friends in the same group again, Qin Chuan was stunned for two seconds, and they were also stunned for two seconds.

It was obvious that both sides were surprised.

Qin Chuan was surprised by their attire. Yesterday they were wearing leather shoes and T-shirts, but today they were wearing ripped jeans.

The sweat shirt he was wearing was so old that if you didn’t know, you would think it was taken from his grandfather. The only thing he needed to become a five-guarantee household was a pair of yellow rubber boots.

Several people were also surprised by Qin Chuan's dress. They all pretended to be poor, but Qin Chuan pretended to be rich.

Wearing ancient costumes!

He was wearing a blue shirt, had long hair, and had a prop in his hand, a folding fan, and was dressed like a handsome young man.

The corners of their mouths twitched, and no one said anything.

After a while, the host arrived.

Grandpa Bi also stared at the attire of these people for several seconds, secretly saying that they were talented.

Long insight!

Ten minutes later, behind the scenes, five people stood in the positions according to yesterday's rehearsal.

Grandpa Bi at the front desk was reading the opening remarks and announcing the competition rules.

"Now, please welcome the first batch of contestants this month!"

"welcome!!"

The curtain slowly rose, and at the same time, the prelude to the dreamlike sword sounded.

Flute, guqin, long flute... before the song even begins, a scene of the martial arts world appears in the audience's mind.

"Where does my sword go?"

"Love and hate are not mutually exclusive"

"My sword cuts through the sky"

“I don’t know right from wrong”

……

The first contestant’s singing was not very professional. His pronunciation was correct, but there was no feeling.

It can be heard that he is indeed a folk enthusiast.

It was soon his turn. Qin Chuan put the fan at his waist and took a deep breath.

"We came in a hurry and left in a hurry. We wish we could meet again."

"Love comes in a hurry, hate comes in a hurry, everything goes with the wind."

"A wild laugh, a long sigh, a life of happiness, a life of sorrow."

“Who will share life and death with me!!”

Qin Chuan is not very old, but he speaks in a down-to-earth manner. Dressed in ancient costume, he looks even more like a martial artist.

Plus, his typhoon was steady and he wasn't nervous at all.

As for the first impression, several judges thought it was pretty good.

A song only takes about five minutes.

After five minutes of singing, the singing was over and it was time for self-introductions.

"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Jinpeng. I come from a poor family. My mother told me since I was a child that children from poor families have to grow up early..."

The part of selling misery has begun.

Before he finished his sentence, the contestant's eyes were red, and Qin Chuan called him professional.

With such acting skills, he can only start as a minor role.

The rest of the people are similar. Some have moved to Beijing, some live in the basement, and some say they just came from the fields.

"Hello, judges, audience friends, and hosts. My name is Qin Chuan, I am 21 years old, and I come from an ordinary family in Shandong. I love music and I am very happy to be here to sing for you. Thank you."

Gone.

This is Qin Chuan’s introduction.

The judges were a little uncomfortable at first because they were used to hearing the previous contestants’ stories about their misery.

There were some fans of Qin Chuan in the audience, and they cheered and called out his name when he was introduced.

Gao Di is a public figure and he cannot hide his lies, so Qin Chuan just keeps it simple and doesn't try to play the victim.

I never thought of bringing up my deceased parents just to attract attention just to sing two songs.
