Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 141 The Wind Rises

"I'm quite famous in your school."

On the way to the auditorium, Qin Chuan found that many students were pointing at him from a distance, and some were following him.

Those who are brave enough can just wave and say hello face to face.

Yang Mi laughed and said, "Brother, where are you not famous? This is normal, they are also fans."

"Many people think that we have many celebrity classmates and teachers in the film academy, so we are not surprised. But it is not the case. There are really very few celebrities. I have never met a few of them."

"Take Mr. Huang Lei for example. I heard that he spends half a year filming. The more famous seniors are also not in school. They only come back for the exams at the end of the semester."

Qin Chuan nodded. Thinking about it, it made sense. The emergence of stars from Beijing Film Academy was a major event ten years later. At that time, artists from Beijing Film Academy occupied half of the entertainment industry.

It’s different now.

There is only one acting class in each term at Beijing Film Academy, and it is considered good if there is one student who becomes famous in the class.

Under normal circumstances, it takes two or three sessions for one person to become famous.

Students who have a little bit of ability are similar to Liu Yifei, who often go out to film.

So the students in the school are no different from ordinary college students.

Qin Chuan said: "In a few years, you will also be the object of their envy."

Yang Mi smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm just wasting my time."

If you don’t work in this industry, you won’t know the difference between other artists.

Bigger than humans and dogs.

Qin Chuan's current fame is beyond her reach.

And Liu Yifei is also an unattainable goal.

Qin Chuan smiled and said nothing. Yang Mi's future achievements will not be less than Liu Yifei's.

The two walked for more than ten minutes before Auditorium No. 3 came into view.

"I'm here, thank you."

"You're welcome. Take care, Brother Chuan."

After sending Qin Chuan away, Yang Mi thought about it, gritted her teeth, ran back to the dormitory, and changed her clothes.

He sneaked into the auditorium again, entered through the back door, and sat down in a secluded spot.

From her angle, she could just see the back of Qin Chuan's head in the front.

In addition to teachers, there are more students in the auditorium, some are freshmen, and some are seniors.

There were also several TV stations filming.

Qin Chuan put his crutches aside and chatted with the students around him. After a few words, he saw Huang Lei coming over.

"Teacher Huang."

"Qin Chuan!" Huang Lei's eyes lit up. He had heard of this name two years ago. At that time, he secretly came to school to shoot a MV.

In the past year, Qin Chuan has been the champion of Star Boulevard and also performed at the Spring Festival Gala. It is hard for him not to remember it.

"Teacher Huang, you still know me."

"Yes, of course I know. My wife even told me about you."

His wife is also a Tangren artist, and played Zhao Linger's mother in The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

"What did Teacher Sun say about me?"

"I said you were amazing." Feeling that this was a bit wrong, Huang Lei said, "Your acting skills are amazing."

"No, no, Mr. Sun, thank you for your praise."

Huang Lei sat down next to Qin Chuan and asked, "Why are you here today?"

Qin Chuan pointed to the sign on his chest and said, "My friend invited me to come and watch the graduation show."

Huang Lei said with a smile, "Liu Yifei, right?"

Qin Chuan nodded.

Huang Lei introduced: "This year's class is quite impressive. In addition to Liu Yifei, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, and Jiang Yiyan are also good."

Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that these people were in the same class as Liu Yifei.

Normally, only one star emerges every two or three times, but this generation of theirs has something special.

Although the people Huang Lei mentioned did not make it to the first tier ten years later, they were still considered second tier, which was pretty good.

"When will you release a new song?" Huang Lei changed the topic quickly and asked about the song in the next second.

This is what interests him most.

Qin Chuan’s last song was “Chi Ling” on the Star Boulevard, which was almost a year ago.

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes and said, "It should be soon. I'm looking for a channel."

He doesn’t lack songs for now, but what he lacks is a channel for more people to hear his voice.

Or rather, the stage.

Huang Lei thought it was a sales channel, and immediately said, "Let me know if you need my help."

Before this year, he really wanted to collaborate with Qin Chuan in music.

Unfortunately, we met too late.

It's no longer possible now.

He has a very good friend who is a music producer, and all his songs are produced by him.

Earlier this year, a friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer and he didn't have much time left.

So far, Huang Lei has no heart to sing anymore. If his friend really passed away, he would not want to sing anymore.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Huang."

"You're welcome. I personally like your style of songs very much." Huang Lei said with a smile: "The only bad thing about you is that you don't release an album."

"If you want to post them in the future, remember to send me a few."

"sure."

The two exchanged phone numbers. As they talked, more and more people filled the auditorium, including school leaders, teachers, and some graduating seniors who were invited to watch the show.

Several media outlets pointed their cameras at Qin Chuan's face.

"Qin Chuan, can I interview you?"

"can."

"Why did you bring a cane with you? Is it a special gift you plan to give later?"

"Is there a possibility that my leg became lame while filming and I have to rely on crutches to walk now?"

"Excuse me, next question, why did you decide to come and watch this graduation show?"

"Because I was invited."

Qin Chuan refused to respond to the interview and the reporter from the TV station was almost crying.

This is the first time I have encountered such an artist.

"Is this Liu Yifei's invitation?"

"Yes."

All of a sudden, the reporter perked up: "Excuse me, what is your current relationship?"

"You are indeed very presumptuous."

reporter:"……"

Damn, it’s too difficult.

Qin Chuan waved his hand gently: "Sorry, time is almost up, please go back, we can talk next time if you have any questions."

The host has already appeared on the stage, so it is not suitable for an interview.

For no reason, Qin Chuan didn't like this kind of random interview.

There are too many uncertainties, and I have no idea what the media will ask.

For interviews in public places, we usually give an outline in advance, and all the questions the media want to ask are written on it.

Artists think of answers in advance.

In addition to not knowing what the media will ask in random interviews, there is also the possibility of taking things out of context, and if you are not careful you may end up being attacked.

After sending the media away, Qin Chuan focused his attention on the stage.

First the host read the opening remarks, and then the school leaders gave a speech.

The main show will begin half an hour later.

On the stage, seven or eight students appeared one after another.

The play they filmed was called Silver Years, which tells the story of career at Beijing Film Academy and life after graduation. The whole story spans ten years.

In this play, they all performed themselves at the beginning, as students of Beijing Film Academy.

After graduation, Liu Yifei became a teacher at Beijing Film Academy.

Some of the others became big stars, some became directors, some changed careers, and some just worked as part-time workers.

A vivid representation of all living beings.

Restore the current situation of seniors who graduated from Beijing Film Academy on a one-to-one basis.

Silver Years lasted more than 40 minutes. After the performance, Liu Yifei and others bowed to the audience.

Then it was time to give a speech.

"Thank you to the school leaders, teachers, seniors, and my friend Qin Chuan for coming..."

When Liu Yifei talked about Qin Chuan, the cameras of the media present turned to him.

With a smile on his face, Qin Chuan nodded.

After Liu Yifei finished speaking, the school leaders came on stage and said a lot of words to them. Apart from their blessings, the rest were nothing more than encouraging them to be good people and put artistic ethics first.

This was followed by a few lighthearted song and dance performances to close the show.

Qin Chuan even heard someone singing The Drunken Concubine.

Thinking that was the end, Qin Chuan picked up his crutches and prepared to get up.

Suddenly, Huang Lei called him.

"Qin Chuan, as the original singer, would you like to sing a song for us?"

"Ah, is this appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about that? It's just a graduation ceremony for the acting class. It should be a graduation blessing for them."

It was a small occasion like this, just singing a song, and Huang Lei didn't think there was anything inappropriate.

As a long-time class teacher and subject teacher of the Performance Department, he hopes to make his students happy and leave them with good memories.

Qin Chuan hesitated for a few seconds: "I'm fine."

"That's good. Wait a moment. I'll talk to the leader."

There were leaders on the scene, and Huang Lei still had to report to the sudden increase in programs.

After a few words, Huang Lei nodded to Qin Chuan, then went on stage to take over the topic from the student union host.

"Qin Chuan is here today, and you guys happened to be singing the New Drunken Concubine. Everyone said, do you want to let the original singer come up and sing a song?"

"want!!"

The students in the audience started to boo.

"Then please welcome Qin Chuan. Let's give him a round of applause!!"

Backstage, Liu Yifei and others were preparing to change their clothes. When they heard that Qin Chuan was going to sing, they immediately ran out and found seats to sit in the audience.

Qin Chuan walked up to the stage slowly with a crutch in one hand: "I am fortunate to be here at Beijing Film Academy and to see the wonderful performance. I wish all the graduating students a bright future and smooth sailing."

"Next, shall we sing a new...new song for everyone?"

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "I think you're tired of hearing about the Drunken Concubine. Let's hear something different."

He has not sung "The New Drunken Concubine" in public many times, but it has been downloaded a lot online and most people have heard it. I just happened to be preparing to release a new song, so I might as well start from here.

"Does everyone want to hear it?"

"think!!"

There was another burst of shouting.

Qin Chuan said: "We came in a hurry and there is no accompaniment. Thank you for your hard work."

"A song called The Wind Rises, dedicated to you who are graduating."

The school's microphone was not a special singing microphone, and the sound quality was not very good for singing. In order to make the sound clearer, Qin Chuan walked forward a few steps, came to the edge of the stage, and chose a suitable position to ensure the best sound transmission.

“Stop and go along the way”

"Follow the traces of youth drifting"

“The moment before leaving the station”

“Somewhat hesitant”

Without accompaniment and professional equipment, Qin Chuan could only sing a cappella. Fortunately, his singing skills were solid and everyone could hear him clearly.

This is the first time I sing the song, so no one will know if I make any mistakes.

But the school auditorium was big enough, and the singing echoed, sounding as if it had some reverberation.

"I first knew this world once upon a time"

"Wandering around"

"Looking at the horizon seems to be before your eyes"

"I'm willing to go through fire and water to get it over again."

"Now walking through this world"

"Wandering around"

"Looking at different faces over time"

"I burst into your smile unexpectedly"

After two simple paragraphs, Qin Chuan gradually got into the mood, and the students in the audience listened quietly without making a sound.

In the corridor, TV station reporters did not dare to waste a moment and filmed the entire process.

I don't know why, but this song is so sad, especially during graduation season.

The lyrics are very touching, simple and easy to understand. The melody is light and lively, with a hint of melancholy and regret.

On the stage, Qin Chuan took a deep breath the moment the microphone left his mouth.

He raised his voice and started to use his big moves.

“I once had a hard time extricating myself from the size of the world.”

"Also indulged in sleep talking"

“Don’t struggle between truth and falsehood”

“Not afraid of jokes”

The song that was sad just now suddenly became inspiring and courageous.

There may be regrets in the past, but the future will no longer be confusing. If you have tried your best, you will not regret it and you don’t care about others laughing at you.

This paragraph is a summary of the past.

Qin Chuan's songs are not very technical and sound more like narrations, about a young boy who steps into a campus, experiences day by day, walks through step by step, and meets classmates, friends, teachers, and the person he likes, which is indispensable in adolescence.

"I once turned my youth into her"

"There was a time when midsummer popped up at my fingertips"

"Just go with what your heart tells you."

"Walking against the light and letting the wind and rain blow"

When Qin Chuan was singing, the students in the audience already had red eyes.

Someone wiped his eyes; "These lyrics are so tear-jerking."

"I said we should be happy today. Who invited him?"

"Jiang Yiyan, I have something that I have kept in my heart for a long time. I like you."

"I'm sorry, I don't like you."

"I do not believe."

The song only lasted a few minutes, and because there was no accompaniment and there was no break in the middle, Qin Chuan finished singing in about three minutes.

As a result, the audience was silent.

Qin Chuan was a little confused and felt uneasy. This song shouldn't be played.

The Wind Blows, this was the hit song that went viral in the summer of 18.

If it were put at a graduation ceremony, it would be a huge kill. After all, whose youth is without regrets, and whose youth is without liking and being liked.

Love, brotherhood, confusion, future, hope, relief, there is always a point in this song that can focus people's hearts.

But looking at the quiet scene, Qin Chuan felt a little nervous.

"Clap clap clap!"

I don't know who started the applause, but the applause gradually grew louder.

He also noticed that these students were all busy crying.

I didn't have time to do it before.

"Qin Chuan, I love you!"

Someone was shouting among the students, but no one knew where the voice came from.

Liu Yifei quickly scanned the area and finally saw Yang Mi sneaking around in the corner.

"do it again!"

"Singing so well."

"Woo woo woo, you sang very well, but don't sing it at the graduation ceremony next time."

"thank you all."

There were many leaders and teachers on the scene, so Qin Chuan naturally didn't want to waste everyone's time, so he walked off the stage with his crutches.

Liu Yifei rushed over and held him up with his hand: "What's wrong with your leg?"

She saw Qin Chuan's crutches just now on the stage.

Because I was busy performing, I didn't have time to ask.

She was very touched that he came to attend her graduation drama even on crutches.

"I had an accident while filming the final scene of The Condor Heroes and my leg was broken."

"Is it serious?" Liu Yifei asked with concern.

She finished filming earlier than Qin Chuan and was no longer in the crew when she broke her bone.

After leaving the group, I was busy with graduation exams, thesis, and rehearsals for a big play, and I haven't paid much attention to what's happening in the outside world.

"It's okay, it's not a big problem."

"Be more careful next time. Don't shoot dangerous actions in the future. If you really can't do it, find a double. Don't try to be brave. Safety comes first."

Qin Chuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "I know."

"why are you laughing?"

"I laughed at you because you look a bit like your mother."

Liu Xiaoli also said the same thing about Liu Yifei when she was on the crew.

Liu Yifei blushed: "Is it wrong for me to care about you?"

"That's right, that's right."

When Qin Chuan came, Yang Mi supported him, and when he left, Liu Yifei supported him.

But this time, there were more people watching.

As soon as he walked out of the auditorium, a group of students surrounded him. Most of them were Liu Yifei’s classmates, and some were sophomores and juniors who were listening to music in the auditorium.

Those who want autographs get autographs, and those who want photos get photos.

Reporters also used cameras and took photos and asked questions.

When Qin Chuan and Liu Yifei walk together, the amount of topics they become becomes increasingly popular.

Liu Yifei found a few classmates to block the reporters and then took Qin Chuan through a shortcut.

In the grove, she bent over, supported her knees with her hands, and her buttocks faced Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan felt embarrassed immediately.

What are you doing in broad daylight?

Why is my heart beating a little faster?

"Come on up, I'll carry you." Liu Yifei said.

Qin Chuan's heartbeat suddenly slowed down: "I'm too heavy for you to carry. It's only a few steps. Walk slowly."

His leg has healed already, he is just using crutches to hide it from others.

As he said this, he put away his crutches and strode forward.

Liu Yifei's eyes widened: "Is your foot okay? Are you lying to me?"

Qin Chuan laughed and said, "I won't tell you anymore. It's not a big problem."

After sending Qin Chuan out of the campus, Liu Yifei returned to the dormitory.

It was a bit busy today, and she had other things to do.

In the evening, at home.

Qin Chuan was watching the second part of Detective Di Renjie when Huang Lei called him.

Just one thing.

Invite him to sing "The Wind Rises" again at the graduation ceremony the day after tomorrow.

This was not Huang Lei's personal request, but a decision made by the school leaders.

If you want to blame someone, just blame the fact that the performance today was so good. This song is different from ordinary love songs, and it is quite suitable to be sung at a graduation ceremony.

"Okay, no problem." Qin Chuan agreed readily.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Chuan called Lao Ma and made an appointment to compose music in the evening.

Time was tight and two days was definitely not enough to produce the song, so we could only perform live accompaniment.

Ask Lao Ma to find a drummer, pianist, guitarist, violinist, bassist, and keyboardist. Let's rehearse a few times and then go directly to the Beijing Film Academy to perform.

When he heard that Qin Chuan wanted so many people, Lao Ma immediately agreed: "Don't worry, I will definitely arrange it for you."

"By the way, can I play guitar?"

He has been working with Qin Chuan for a long time, and his recording studio has become popular because of Qin Chuan's songs.

On display as soon as you enter the door is Qin Chuan's autographed album, which is unique on the market.

Lao Ma himself is also a fan of Qin Chuan.

Of course I won’t miss this opportunity to perform on the same stage with you.

If I remember correctly, this seems to be Qin Chuan’s first stage show. It makes me excited just thinking about it.

So, is this the first time he has defeated Qin Chuan?
"Okay, come if you want." Qin Chuan still believed in Lao Ma's ability and looked at the time: "In an hour and a half, gather everyone and see you in the recording studio."

It is not easy to form a band temporarily. He has to compose the music, assign tasks to each person, and train them to achieve the effect he wants.

I will be on stage the day after tomorrow, so I only have one day and two nights.
