Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 120 Brother, please stop showing off

Qin Chuan came to the side curtain and within a few minutes, the contestant on the stage finished singing the song and left the stage. The host, Grandpa Bi, read the advertising slogan and then introduced Qin Chuan.

After a round of praise, he announced: "Please welcome Qin Chuan to perform the Peking Opera Wujia Po. Please welcome him with applause."

The lights in the venue went out and it was pitch dark.

A minute later, the stage lights came on again, the big screen turned a slightly blue hue, and smoke rose from the scene.

The gongs were struck clanging and the erhu sounded.

This is the background music recorded at Lao Ma's place before.

Lao Ma was tortured for a whole month and became exhausted. He only rested for four hours a day and spent the rest of the time working overtime to produce songs for Qin Chuan.

In the center of the stage, the person in costume has his back to the audience.

In front of him was an old dressing mirror.

Stick yellow flowers on the mirror.

The audience, including the judges, were still wondering when Qin Chuan would come out.

Suddenly, a pure female opera accent came out from the mouth of the person in makeup.

"Recalling the past, my tears are still flowing"

"Colorful building hydrangea with good marriage"

"Pinggui surrendered the Red Mane War"

"The King of Tang rewards you with the title of Governor of the Prefecture"

boom!
The audience felt their scalps tingling after listening to this opera singing, which was different from what they knew.

There are several types of traditional Peking Opera singing styles, the major categories include Xipi, Erhuang, Xipi Kuaiban, Erhuang Kuaiban and so on.

When broken down, there are more than a dozen different ways of singing.

The Peking Opera singing styles that most audiences have heard are Xipi and Erhuang, which are the kind of singing that sounds like Yiyaya.

But the singing of this person was not in the traditional Peking Opera style. It sounded nice but also a little strange.

On the judging panel, a professor from a music college's eyes lit up: "This is Kunqu Opera. Using Kunqu Opera to sing Wujiapo is a genius!"

On the stage, the person in costume stood up while taking a breath and turned to face the audience.

Everyone's head was buzzing.

Although he had women's makeup on his face, everyone still recognized him as Qin Chuan from his hairstyle, facial features, body shape, and the host's announcement.

After all this time, he played the opposite role.

One of the judges frowned and commented: "This woman's voice is very stable, but why is the makeup only half done?"

Everything is fine, but it looks a bit weird without the hood.

"The Xiliang Kingdom rebelled"

"My father went to the palace to present this book"

"Forcing you to put on your armor and march to the front"

"Separate the mandarin ducks and live on their own side"

The performance was still going on on the stage, and no one explained to the judges why Qin Chuan did this, out of concern that it would affect the performance of the contestants.

But the next second, Qin Chuan's breathing stagnated, he rolled up his sleeves, and walked forward in four-way steps with wide and open movements.

The silky female-to-male voice told them why they had to wear half makeup.

"The yellow sand is rolling and the smoke is everywhere"

"Later, I was a foreigner and sat on the silver throne."

"That day, a wild goose carried a silk shirt in its mouth."

"I just realized that my third sister was being tortured~"

The female voice is gentle, light, and a little melancholy, which, combined with Qin Chuan's performance on stage, makes it even more tragic.

The male voice is powerful, steady and full of sunshine, and suddenly it is like a general galloping on the battlefield appearing before your eyes.

The two contrasts make people intoxicated.

This is why Qin Chuan only wears half makeup, to facilitate the audience's visual conversion from male to female.

In Peking Opera, women’s makeup is too feminine, while men’s makeup is too masculine.

Wujiaopo requires switching between male and female accents.

When she is fully made up to look like Wang Baochuan and speaks in a male voice, it is easy to be distracted when she opens her mouth.

The same principle applies when he is done making up to look like Xue Pinggui. It looks a bit weird and not pretty for a mighty general to sing in a female voice.

Therefore, Qin Chuan only put on half makeup, so that the audience could know that he was a Peking Opera actor and also see the male and female characteristics on his body.

"Ah~ah~my wife, Wang Baochuan"

"It's a pity that you are staying in the cold kiln"

"Poor you, you are all alone"

"I've been waiting for you, Xue Nanpinggui"

"Eighteen years"

Qin Chuan not only sings, but also acts. When he sings in a female voice, he plays Wang Baochuan, and when he sings in a male voice, he plays Xue Pinggui.

Some audience members in the audience exclaimed that it was the first time in their lives that they enjoyed listening to Peking Opera so much.

"Ah~ah~my husband~Xue Lang"

"What a pity that you are lost in a foreign land"

"I don't know if you are driving Yin'an"

"Guarding my Wang's precious bracelet"

"18 years"

"Leave Me, the Pretty Girl"

“You’ll end up with gray hair on your temples!!”

The male voice changed into a female voice, so sad and miserable that it was heartbreaking to hear.

When Qin Chuan said this about his graying temples, he sang a high note, his voice was thin, sad and long.

"it is good!!"

Finally, someone in the audience couldn't hold back anymore and cheered loudly.

There was an explosion of applause that lasted for a long time.

On the judges' panel, the music professor who had been listening to the music with his eyes closed and nodding his head opened his eyes and cast a dissatisfied look towards the audience.

He was listening attentively when the group started to make a noise.

Fortunately, the singer on stage had just finished singing the first verse, and there was an interlude of more than 20 seconds.

Otherwise it will definitely affect Qin Chuan's singing.

The professor still underestimated Qin Chuan's stage presence and psychological quality. After more than two years of debut, he has been accustomed to many ups and downs and will not be affected at all.

He walked back to the center of the stage in small steps and continued to play his role as Wang Baochuan.

Raising her hand to wipe away the tears, her every frown and smile, the sadness between her brows, fully reveals her deep love.

At this moment, he combined acting and singing together, the two became one, and he reached the peak in an instant.

The judges felt numbness from the top of their heads to the back of their heels.

Wang Tingting, who was hiding behind the side curtain, had already opened her mouth wide, unable to utter a word for a long time. She really wanted to kneel down to Qin Chuan.

After living for more than 20 years, this is the first time I think Peking Opera is beautiful.

Two minutes later, after the song Wujiaopo was finished, Qin Chuan bowed deeply.

"Thank you everyone, thank you."

Amid the thunderous applause, the judges noticed that Qin Chuan's breathing was not disordered at all.

After waiting for the applause to stop, the judge asked, "How long have you been practicing Peking Opera?"

Qin Chuan opened his mouth and said: "I learned it from watching TV when I was young. Later, I met a Peking Opera expert and started practicing with him. It has been more than ten years now."

He just said that he learned it by watching TV when he was young, but he didn't say when he started practicing it. He just said it was more than ten years, so there is no way to verify it at all.

The judge asked again: "Tongzi Kung Fu, no wonder, then how did you come up with the idea of ​​adapting Wujia Slope?"

The original version of Wujiaopo is not like this. The tune is different, it is the kind of yayaya that the audience is familiar with.

In addition, Qin Chuan also made some deletions to the lyrics, cutting out at least one-third of the original version, probably to fit the four-minute rule of modern songs.

Qin Chuan said solemnly: "Because I found that young people don't like to listen to Peking Opera anymore, and prefer pop music."

"As an amateur musician, I feel very sorry and heartbroken when I see this situation. Such a brilliant treasure should not be buried."

"So I thought about how to make the audience like Peking Opera again, and that's how Wujiapo came about." "Well, well said!" The judges were pleased and said, "Young people are very good. Peking Opera, as our national quintessence, should not be buried. It is a huge treasure house."

"It contains loyalty, love, history, and patriotism... I highly recommend that everyone listen to more Peking Opera..."

The judges' recommendation lasted five minutes, and they commented on Wujiaopo for another five minutes. Qin Chuan stood on the stage for ten minutes.

The last contestant who sang had red eyes due to envy.

It took less than ten minutes from the time he came on stage to the time he left.

There is also time for the host to insert broadcasts in the middle.

Qin Chuan was better. He sang for five minutes and commented for ten minutes.

The camera lens was almost on his face.

This is CCTV!
Is it really necessary to be so exaggerated? Does the central bank still have anything to pursue?
Where is moral integrity, where is face, where is reserve!
After repeated reminders from the host, Grandpa Bi, the judges remembered that they were at the competition site and were about to select the monthly champion.

Only then did he reluctantly end his communication with Qin Chuan.

The judges didn't discuss it much and gave their votes to Qin Chuan directly.

This time it’s very fast!
Qin Chuan smiled and waved goodbye to the audience and judges.

The next game that awaits him is the finals.

Backstage, Wang Tingting followed Qin Chuan and said admiringly: "Boss, you are so awesome!"

Or maybe Wang Tingting, who is concise and to the point.

She couldn't think of any other adjective except awesome.

Qin Chuan waved his hand: "Keep a low profile."

"Boss, what shall we sing in the finals?"

"It depends on the opponent. If I meet a strong opponent, I will try my best. If I meet a weak opponent, I will just make up two songs to deal with it."

The host, Grandpa Bi, happened to pass by the two of them. When he heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched violently.

What the hell is that?

If you encounter a strong opponent, just put in some effort. If you encounter a weak opponent, just write two songs to deal with it.

In Qin Chuan's mouth, winning the championship seems as easy as eating and drinking.

I wonder how the other contestants would feel if they heard that they had become traitors in Qin Chuan's place.

……

In late September, Qin Chuan received a call from Jin Lian, asking him to go to the company, saying that there was news about The Return of the Condor Heroes.

When Qin Chuan arrived at Jinlian's office and opened the door, he felt smoke everywhere.

Jinlian was sitting on the sofa smoking, and her ashtray was almost full.

"Sister Jin, where is this smoked bacon?"

Jinlian put out her cigarette, fanned the smoke in front of her with her hand, stood up and walked to the desk, and opened a video on the computer.

"You sang this?"

Qin Chuan tilted his head and took a look. The screen was Wujiaopo, which was just broadcast last night. However, he was sharp-eyed and noticed that there were other windows on the desktop, some about childhood sweethearts bullying each other, which looked like a pornographic movie.

Noticing that his gaze was not right, Jinlian quickly skipped the movie and asked again, "Did you sing this?"

"I sang it."

"Didn't I ask you to sing one song and report it to me?"

"I wanted to report it, but you went to the Magic City for a meeting at that time."

"Why didn't you tell me afterwards?"

“You didn’t ask afterwards.”

"I……"

Jinlian's head was about to explode, and her lips were trembling: "You didn't tell me about this level of song?"

The quality of Wujiaopo is not as high as that of Chengdu, but it is novel. Few people in the Chinese music scene have tried this kind of singing style.

If it goes well, Qin Chuan can even open his own school.

As a result, this guy acted as if nothing had happened and didn't say a word.

Jinlian had countless secrets in her mind: "Do you know what you sang?"

Qin Chuan looked at him as if he were a fool: "Of course I know."

"Then why are you so calm?" Jinlian gritted her teeth, clicked on a pop-up news at random, pulled Qin Chuan's sleeve, and asked him to look closer.

The media has hyped up Qin Chuan to be a god.

What a folk poet, a successor to Peking Opera, a leading figure in the Chinese music scene, on par with Jay Chou and with Nicholas Tse at his feet, one of the three new generation kings of the music scene.

Qin Chuan sat down on Jinlian's boss chair, waved his hand and said with a laugh: "It's just an empty title, I'm just an amateur singer."

This guy is so pretentious that Jinlian's eyelids twitched. She clicked on the comment section of his blog and saw that it was full of die-hard fans.

"Brother, please stop showing off. You've got folk songs, pop songs, Peking opera, and Wujiapo songs. Will the next round be about breaking rocks on your chest?"

"Please release an album, please. I'll just buy one. I feel uncomfortable all over right now, like ants crawling on me. Please, release an album, just one, one, and I won't listen to it anymore..."

"In the past two years, Taiwan has Jay Chou and Hong Kong has Nicholas Tse. We have been completely suppressed. Now we finally have someone who can compete with us."

"I declare that I will be a fan of Qin Chuan from now on!"

When counting the younger generation in the Chinese music scene, there is no doubt that the most popular ones in Hong Kong are Nicholas Tse, and Wanwan is Jay Chou, the two of them are leading the trend.

There are many talented people in mainland China, such as Shuimu Nianhua, Bao Jiajie, Xu Wei... but there seems to be no consensus on which younger generation is the strongest.

The difference in level between them is not that big, and no one dares to say that he is the strongest of the younger generation.

But on a show called Star Boulevard, Qin Chuan made his mark.

Drum Tower, just once, if the moon hasn’t come out yet, Chengdu, Wujiaopo.

Twenty-one years old, five representative works.

I wrote all the lyrics and composed the music myself.

This is very scary.

It seems that it is hard to find any singers under the age of 30 in mainland China who are better than him.

There are still several tough battles to be fought in the upcoming championship competition. With his personality of treating CCTV as a new song launch conference, who knows if he may have a few killer songs hidden.

Jinlian suppressed her excitement and tried to calm herself down: "You have run out of stock, right? Let me ask you, what are you going to use in the finals?"

What she wanted to say was, why not buy some good songs now, even if it costs a lot of money.

Qin Chuan said lightly: "I haven't used up all of them. Who said I have? I am not crazy. How could I possibly reveal all my cards before the finals?"

Jinlian's fist hardened: "Then tell me there are only two or three songs in stock!"

Qin Chuan stared with innocent eyes: "Yes, two plus three, that's five!"

Damn it!
Jinlian really wanted to press Qin Chuan to death here.

She had to admit that she had such an ancestor.

After a long time, Jinlian sighed: "Chuan'er, why don't we become singers? Being a singer has a future. Whoever wants to be an actor can be one. I don't want to act in The Return of the Condor Heroes anymore. It's boring."

She has always supported Qin Chuan's acting.

Especially after the release of Kung Fu this year, Qin Chuan has entered the ranks of third-tier actors, and the next film to be broadcast is The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

If he can win the leading role in The Return of the Condor Heroes, Qin Chuan will be expected to become a second-tier actor within a few years, and it is not impossible for him to become a first-tier actor within ten years.

It can be said that the future is bright.

But after watching the broadcast of Star Boulevard, she saw Qin Chuan's potential in music.

It's much more interesting than acting.

As soon as these five songs were released, Qin Chuan had become a second-tier singer, the youngest second-tier singer.

If you keep this creative inspiration, it won’t be a problem to make it to the front line within three years.

A first-line singer who is less than 25 years old, what role does he play? He has become famous all over the world.

Jinlian couldn't sleep last night. All she imagined in her mind was Qin Chuan reaching the top of the Chinese music scene at the age of 25, becoming a superstar at the age of 30, and killing people all over Asian countries.
