I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 150 "Wukong" (23)

The actors of “Do You Know?”…

The only famous ones are Zhao Liying and Feng Shaofeng.

But after the show was aired, the most outstanding ones were the eldest lady, Lin Xiaoniang and Rulan’s selections, all of which were very outstanding!

Instead, the protagonist was criticized the most!
Especially Zhao Liying.

This is normal, she is not good at acting!

In fact, Noon has never been good at making idol dramas, but it plans to change this situation and seize the idol market.

So, when making "Knowing or Not", the heroine needs to be chosen from the traffic. Zhao Liying has her own traffic and good reputation...

At least there is little controversy!
As for Feng Shaofeng…

He is 39 this year, and it is indeed a bit awkward for him to play Gu Tingye. After all, according to the original novel, Gu Tingye is 25 years old, 9 years older than Minglan!
In the drama, she was changed to 30 years old...

Feng Shaofeng's acting skills are impeccable. He has good lines and is not inferior to veteran actors in dialogue. But I always feel that his posture is like an actor sometimes...

Accent problem?

But Wolf Totem doesn’t have this feeling, it’s very sincere…

Maybe that’s how he handles characters!
He never felt tired of crossing his arms, always looking like a martial artist rushing out from the backstage...

However, it is definitely not Shen Liang’s turn to comment on these, Shen Liang is just the second male lead!

But think about having to deal with so many actors in the crew...

Oh, I suddenly feel so annoyed!

……

In "Singer" 2018, the singers invited are actually quite normal.

There was no one who particularly attracted coverage, except Zhang Shaohan.

After all, her experience is quite shocking even for ordinary people, let alone celebrities - double betrayal by her own mother and best friend, this kind of experience is really rare!

In addition to Zhang Shaohan, there is Jessie J, also known as Jie Shi Jie, a British singer.

It was quite popular during its peak period. At the closing ceremony of the London Olympics, Jessie J, the guitarist Brain May and the drummer Roger Taylor of Queen sang "We Will Rock You"...

Wu Mochou sang "Price Tag" in "The Voice of China", and Jie Shijie was the original singer...

Just that 'It's not about the money, money, money ~We don't need your money, money, money...'

It seems that many British female singers can’t escape the three-album curse…

But Sister Jie Shi was still very popular in 2014. She collaborated with Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj on the single "Bang Bang", which directly soared to the third place on the Billboard and ranked 27th on the annual list...

Logically, she should have pressed on with her victory...but in 2015, Sister Jie Shi was diagnosed with pre-excitation syndrome, a relatively rare disease, and was later forced to receive treatment.

The doctor also advised her to sing less high notes in the future to reduce the pressure on her heart.

But his singing skills are really first-rate...

"I think I should be able to stay in the top five... The most important thing about participating in "Singer" is not to fight for the first place, but to not be eliminated..."

During the interview beforehand, Shen Liang honestly stated his goal.

The person who interviewed him was Shen Mengchen, and they knew each other very well...

Hearing Shen Liang's goal, she was a little speechless: "Shouldn't you say show yourself!"

"Big sister, this is Singer, a competition stage, where elimination is decided by voting. Show? Maybe some successful senior can have such a broad mind. I'm not at that level yet..."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"In the first round, let's sing a high-pitched song, show off, and try to stay!"

"High-pitched song?"

"Well... you'll know when we sing later, but I just hope you don't have to open the show..."

"why?"

“It’s so hard to start, and no one knows me…”

Shen Mengchen waved his hand: "You are very famous, and everyone knows "Seaweed Dance"!"

Shen Liang shook his head: "It's 'Seaweed Dance' that's popular, not Shen Liang. Besides, am I going to sing 'Seaweed Dance' on stage? Do you want me to be eliminated directly?"

"So what are you going to sing? Your song?"

Shen Liang shook his head: "My song is not suitable for high notes... I adapted a song..."

"What song is it?"

"You'll know then!"

Shen Mengchen did not continue to ask, but changed the subject: "Then can you predict the ranking..."

"How would I know... I only know that Zhang Tian and I are the likely candidates to be eliminated in the first round!"

"Where's GAI?" "Yes, plus GAI... don't play this part!"

The two chatted briefly, and then the car arrived at the Radio and Television Center. After getting off, Shen Mengchen accompanied him into the lounge, where several people were already sitting. Shen Liang bowed and found a corner to sit down...

"What a joke, I don't want to be the first one..."

Director Hong Tao discussed the order of appearance with Shen Liang...

He was the first to appear...

The pressure of being the first to appear is too great!

From my experience of going on stage, the first one is the worst, because the earlier you go on stage, the stricter the audience and judges will be, and it is easy to get low scores.

Besides, everyone hasn’t gotten into the mood yet, so it’s easy for them to forget your performance.

If you are very strong, it is best to be the last one to appear, which can form a sharp contrast with the previous ones...

Shen Liang doesn’t think he is the strongest, but... he really doesn’t want to be the first to appear!
"We calculate based on age and debut time... you are the youngest."

“…Alas, that’s my first one!”

Since Hong Tao had said so, what else could Shen Liang say? He could only nod and agree...

Oh, why not ask him to be the host?

Because, in Hong Tao's opinion, Shen Liang might not be able to hold on for a few issues...

If someone is eliminated, another host will have to be chosen.

……

In the studio, the lights came on, and the audience cheered. As the director said "3.2.1 Go!", the camera was focused on the main stage, and Zhang Shaohan appeared...

Wearing a plaid suit, he looks very capable.

"The Singer 2018 has begun. Are you ready?"

Shen Liang didn't hear what she said at all, he was breathing heavily...

Shen Mengchen comforted: "Don't be nervous!"

"Nonsense, how can I not be nervous...Touch my heart..."

Shen Mengchen reached out and touched it, and was surprised: "Wow, it jumps so fast!"

“This is The Singer!”

"Weren't you full of confidence before?"

"…I don't want to bother with you…"

Shen Liang closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down... It didn't work, then he heard Zhang Shaohan's voice, "The first singer to take the stage today... is a kid born in 95... Sorry, I called him kid... He debuted for three years and left behind a bunch of great works, including "Mercury", "Sadly Beautiful", "Last Summer", "Flowering Along the Way"... He is Shen Liang!"

"Let's go!"

Shen Liang appears...

He wore a black suit... Actually, he was going to wear a long gown, but... I felt that since no one had changed into their performance clothes, it would be inappropriate for him to suggest changing into a long gown!
Oh, the song he sang was "Wukong", the version sung by Zhang Qi...

The original wind instrument was replaced with the shakuhachi, emphasizing the traditional orchestration of Peking Opera and weakening the presence of the orchestra and piano to create a sense of dramatic immersion. The arrangement progresses layer by layer, constantly pushing the emotions to a higher level...

'The moon splashes on the starry river, the road is long, the wind and smoke are gone, and the shadow is alone. Who told me that I am extraordinary~ Who made me feel so torn between love and hate, and finally I was heartbroken~'

The first part of the song adds a sense of emptiness, and the word "fan" is sung with a sense of hesitation...

Well, the first verse is actually sung according to the original version.

At the beginning of the second paragraph, Shen Liang closed his eyes and recited directly: The world is evil and dangerous, and it is ultimately impossible to escape; trample the spiritual sky, and be unbridled and rebellious...

Then, the singing style changes to "brushing off the blue sky~" and then to "dispersing the mist and seeing through the world";
'Look down and see you wandering around the world'

'The unbridled and unruly trampled Lingxiao~'

This section is a wonderful arrangement, with a lot of Peking Opera elements added to the arrangement, Qingyi opera style + Laosheng singing style, all sung by Shen Liang alone

Especially the last line "Treading on the sky" is very high-pitched, singing directly to C5...

The audience was shocked...

Including several singers listening to the songs backstage...

Jessie J couldn't help but ask, "Is that his voice?"

"Yes, this is the singing style of Peking Opera... It's amazing, two singing styles..."

It’s not over yet, ‘What use do I have for this iron rod…’ Then he showed off a section of ‘Trampling the sky, being wanton and unruly’, and sang directly to D5…

At the end, he sang in the old male style, "This blow will make you disappear into ashes~"

Ending with laughter!
