This star is wrong

Chapter 116 Lu Ming's Story

After "Painting Heart" became popular, more and more film and television companies asked Fang Xing and Li Caiwei to sing the theme song of the film and television.

However, Fang Xing doesn't accept every project, it still depends on whether these film and television dramas are capable.

To put it simply, I didn't accept the theme song project that looked like a bad movie.

Although on earth, there has always been a tradition of bad movies coming out of divine comedies.

The so-called situation of bad movies coming out of the Divine Comedy does exist.

However, there is actually no causal relationship between bad movies and divine comedy.

As long as you think about it a little bit, you will find that the so-called bad movie "Divine Comedy", this bad movie is usually a big production.

The real causal relationship is not that a bad movie produces a divine comedy, but that a big production produces a divine comedy.

Big productions require a lot of investment, so naturally more money will be spent on theme songs.

You get what you pay for, it is inevitable.

In addition, big productions represent not only money, but also the connections of investors, which can invite the strongest producers.

Such as "Chrysanthemum Terrace" and "Golden Armor".

These two songs, if it is a movie with a small investment, it is absolutely impossible to win.

Therefore, big productions can get the Divine Comedy.

Once this big production happens to be a bad movie, then the phenomenon of a bad movie coming out of the Divine Comedy will be formed.

……

Fang Xing doesn't know what will happen to Blue Star's "Liao Zhai: Painted Skin" after it is released.

However, from the actor's point of view, the female lead Zhou Wei is an absolute actress, and the male lead is also an actor who focuses on acting, and rarely participates in variety shows to show his face.

Judging from the cast, I don't know if it will be a big hit, but it shouldn't be too bad.

The trailer is also very good in conjunction with "Painting Heart".

At least Fang Xing wanted to go to the cinema to watch it after watching the trailer.

At the time when Jade Bird Media was promoting the movie most intensely, "Painting Heart" has been occupying the number one position on the hot song list, and did not give SPK's new song a chance.

Two and a half weeks after "Painting Heart" dominated the charts, the popularity value began to drop normally.

Even if the popularity value starts to drop, but according to this trend, it should still stay at the top of the hot song list for a week.

However, SPK, which has been suppressed for more than two weeks, does not think so.

Fans of SPK have been suppressed by "Painting Heart" for more than two weeks. It can be said that they have held back their anger and have nowhere to vent it.

One advantage of fans playing on the list is that they can be retracted freely.

Unlike ordinary listeners, who feel that a song is good, they will open member singles for a few days.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the popularity value of a song will show a parabolic law, and after the popularity value reaches its peak, it will slowly fall back.

Especially the best-selling data, when most of the listeners have purchased, the sales data growth will become slower and slower.

It's different for fans to compete in the rankings. In the past few weeks, if you find that your opponent is too strong, you should endure it first, wait for the heat of the opponent to pass, and then try again.

When the heat value of "Painting Heart" reached the middle and late stages of the parabola, "Sexy" suddenly started to exert its strength.

Fans of SPK began to hit the charts fiercely, and the popularity value of "Sexy" began to soar, and the popularity value changed, showing an irregular curve.

It took "Sexy" three days to overtake "Painting Heart" again and return to the top of the hot song list.

This time.

Chaoyin Culture did not buy the draft again, saying that "Sexy" beat "Painting Heart" to top the hot song list.

However, the fans couldn't hold back their self-confidence, and they boasted all kinds of things on Weibo and Dou M short videos:
[Look, the one who laughs last is the real strength. 】

[I knew how SPK could lose to the theme song of a movie. 】

[It's comfortable, Fang Xing was so arrogant before, it's better now.No matter how crazy he was, he was still defeated at Si Qi's feet. 】

[When the tide recedes, you will know who is swimming. 】

[The era of SPK dominating the charts has come, what does it mean for "Nocturne" to dominate the charts for four weeks? "Sexy" will let you know what horror is. 】

……

It has been a month since the final of "Tomorrow's Star".

After the final, the members of the flame camp went their separate ways.

Some signed a brokerage company, some returned to the original brokerage company, and some continued to study.

Fang Xing's relationship with Lu Ming, Shao Yu, and Guo Keda is still very good.

Take time out every week to get together.

Usually it is Guo Keda, a socially obsessive patient, who is in charge of saving games.

Every weekend, Guo Keda yelled in the group:
Guo Keda: Come out and have a meal. Xintiandi has opened a barbecue. It's super delicious. Let's go tomorrow night.

Guo Keda: The captain has already agreed to come out, sign up quickly.

Fang Xing: When did I agree?

Guo Keda: How about agreeing now?
Fang Xing: All right.

Shao Yu: I have work tomorrow, maybe a little later, but I will definitely arrive.

Lu Ming: I will also participate.

Guo Keda: Shall I bring some girls there?
Fang Xing: No!
Shao Yu: No!
Lu Ming: No!
……

Seven o'clock on Saturday night.

Guo Keda booked a booth at the newly opened Gulu Barbecue in Donghai Xintiandi.

Fang Xing and Lu Ming will arrive a few minutes after seven o'clock.

Shao Yu was half an hour late, and the three of them had already started eating.

Guo Keda ordered beer, but he was the only one drinking it.

Fang Xing, Shao Yu, and Lu Ming only drank fruit juice.

Guo Keda said while eating: "Captain, those SPK bastards pushed "Sexy" to the top of the hot song chart again yesterday, and fans started jumping on Weibo again."

Fang Xing didn't care about this, and replied casually: "I don't even read Weibo, just let them make trouble."

Guo Keda answered, "That's right, "Painting the Heart" has put SPK on the ground, and now crowdfunding hits the charts, and it's useless."

Lu Ming kept eating in silence and didn't say much.

Guo Keda bumped him with his arm and asked, "Where's Lu Ming? How are you? Have you signed a company yet?"

"Not...not yet." Lu Ming was not very interested.

"Is there a brokerage company looking for you?" Guo Keda asked.

"I have looked for several companies, but I haven't decided whether to continue my studies or sign with a brokerage company." Lu Ming has not considered this matter clearly.

He followed Fang Xing in "Tomorrow's Star", all the way to the finals, and won the team championship in the finals of the faction battle.

It is true that many brokerage companies have approached him to negotiate contracts, but he is not Fang Xing after all, and it is impossible for these brokerage companies to offer a platinum contract.

Being able to give a high-level contract is already regarded as a value for him.

Moreover, he was still hesitating whether to listen to Chen Chaonan's suggestion and go to Dongyin to learn falsetto tenor.

Guo Keda's character has always been straightforward, and he doesn't think about so much. He said in a relaxed tone: "If you want to go to school, you can go to school, if you want to sign a company, you can sign a company. Or if you sign a company, you can continue to study. .”

It is true that he can continue to study after signing the company, but the brokerage company definitely hopes to make a wave of money while his popularity is still there.

Therefore, if you really sign with a brokerage company, the company will definitely arrange a lot of work, and you will definitely not have time to prepare for the exam.

Fang Xing guessed the real worry in Lu Ming's heart: "You haven't thought about whether you want to specialize in five sets of scales, have you?"

Lu Ming was taken aback for a moment, obviously he was hit.

Guo Keda widened his eyes, and said in surprise: "You haven't thought about this yet? What the doctoral supervisor said is right, your five sets of timbres are really nice. Since you have this kind of talent, why don't you practice five sets?"

Lu Ming hesitated for a long time before sighing: "The elders in the family hope that I can become a tenor or baritone."

He has been hesitant about this matter since the first issue of "Tomorrow's Star".

Because, this matter is not what he wants to do, he can do it.

In fact, he came from a musical family, and several elders in the family were engaged in vocal music.

Therefore, the elders in the family all hope that he can successfully inherit the family heritage and make achievements in the field of vocal music.

He has also been carrying this expectation and persisting.

It is also for this reason that he has been learning music since he was a child, so he has a good foundation.

In "Rising Star", one of the reasons why he was picked by Fang Xing was that his vocal foundation was really good.

Lu Ming has been very talented since he was a child, and has always been the object of praise from his family elders and school teachers.

It's just that, when his voice changed at the age of twelve or thirteen, his voice didn't change much as expected, and his voice didn't become thicker.

Not only that, but his height and shape did not meet expectations, which resulted in his lack of breath.

When he was sixteen or seventeen, his voice still remained unchanged.

At that time, he had basically been sentenced, and it was impossible for him to become either a tenor or a baritone.

The tenor range is usually C3 to C5, while the baritone range is A2 to A4.

However, his breath is not enough, his voice is not thick enough, and his dominant range is not at all these two intervals.

Therefore, even though I have been practicing vocal music since I was a child, I have never been able to achieve results.

Therefore, the elders in the family were very disappointed with him.

Of course, his parents and elders still love him, and the family is very happy.

It's just that the elders in the family no longer put their vocal dreams on him.

Although his parents and elders did not blame him, he knew in his heart that he had let his parents down.

Also because of this reason, he has always disliked his own voice, even a little inferior, and rarely showed five sets of super high notes.

When I was in school, because my voice was sharper than other boys, I got some strange looks.

For these years, he has been using a child's voice, pretending to be a low voice, singing four sets of scales, trying hard to become a tenor.

However, in this way, it is actually equivalent to giving up the characteristics of one's own voice, and using one's own weaknesses to fight in the four most competitive male voice groups. The result can be imagined.

For this reason, he has never made any achievements in vocal music.

Until I met Fang Xing in "Rising Star".

Every time Fang Xing takes the stage, he assigns five sets of high notes to him, without exception.

It is also because of these five sets of high-pitched songs that brought him high popularity.

However, he still couldn't pass the test in his heart.

He always hopes to be recognized by the elders in his family, hoping to be what they think.

at this time.

Inside the Gulu barbecue shop, the song "There Are Lovers in the World" sounded.

It was the stage where Fang Xing, Lu Ming, and Shao Yu were on "Rising Star".

Since "Star of Tomorrow" is still very popular, the TVs in the lobby of many shops will play songs from "Star of Tomorrow" from time to time.

Fang Xing looked out of the cubicle, looked at the screen in the hall TV, and said, "Actually, you really don't need to be so entangled. Since you care so much about the thoughts of the elders in your family, why don't you know how to ask them?"

Guo Keda echoed: "That's right, just call back and ask, if there is anything the family can't ask, don't they treat you badly?"

Lu Ming quickly shook his head: "No, the elders in my family are very kind to me. In fact, I grew up in a very happy family, but I will never forget the kind of eyes they looked at me when I was young, the kind of earnest eyes, like It's putting their dreams on me."

"What kind of bullshit dream? No one has the responsibility to carry other people's dreams and move forward with heavy burdens. Even if they are your parents. Bring your mobile phone, call them, and tell them what you think." Guo Keda said directly Get started and snatch Lu Ming's phone.

"Wait a minute, wait a moment." Lu Ming hurried to grab the phone.

"Do you want to fight? If you don't want to fight, I will fight for you." Guo Keda has always been so straightforward, never thinking so much, just do what he has to do.

Lu Ming hesitated for a while, turned back to look at the TV screen in the hall, and heard his five sets of super high-pitched singing in his ears. Finally, he mustered up the courage and took the phone: "Okay, I'll call."

He dialed Grandpa's phone.

When the phone was connected, a deep and vicissitudes voice came: "Lu Ming, have you eaten? At this point, it's time to eat?"

"Grandpa, I was having dinner with my friends, and suddenly I missed you a little, so I called you." Lu Ming began to talk about homework.

"You must remember to eat, and be careful when eating, go out with friends, and try to drink as little as possible." The old man's advice came from the other end of the phone.

"Understood." Lu Ming agreed.

"Usually you don't call back at this time, what's the matter today?" The old man could feel his grandson's emotions.

"Grandpa, I want to ask you something." Lu Ming hesitated again and again, not knowing how to speak.

"Just tell me if you have something to do, is the money spent?" the old man asked.

"No, I want to ask... have you and your parents watched the show I'm on? It's the "Star of Tomorrow"." Lu Ming didn't ask the last question directly, but started with the show first.

on the other end of the phone.

A hale and hearty old man suddenly sat up from the sofa, picked up the remote control on the coffee table, turned down the volume of the TV, and murmured in his heart: Is the volume so low?Can you still hear me?
"Grandpa, it's fine if you haven't read it." Lu Ming wanted to retreat again.

"Oh, that show. I watched it. You performed well in it, and your teammates were also good." The old man praised.

Lu Ming showed a surprised expression and asked, "Don't you think I sing badly?"

The old man was very honest and commented: "It can't be compared with your captain. Your captain is not normal. Many middle-aged singers are not as good as him. However, you and the one named Shao Yu are also good. He is older than you." How old you are, a little more stable than you. However, your high-pitched voice is really good."

Hearing this comment, Lu Ming widened his eyes and said in surprise, "Grandpa, don't you object to me singing falsetto tenor?"

The old man fell silent, and asked doubtfully, "Why do you think so?"

"You... always hoped that I would be a baritone or tenor." Lu Ming's emotions fluctuated greatly.

"No one's life is doomed from birth. If you like baritone and tenor, then you can practice, but what you will achieve in the future, as long as you like it. If you like countertenor, then go to learn .Grandpa never said that you must learn something..."

When the old man said this, he was silent for a long time before adding: "Also, the doctoral supervisor of Donghai Conservatory of Music is indeed right, your countertenor talent is very good, as long as you continue to practice, you will be better than tenor. "

Lu Ming's breathing became short of breath, and he asked in disbelief, "So, do you agree with me switching to falsetto tenor?"

"Starting from you, grandpa didn't ask you to do anything. As long as you like it, you can learn it. Why hesitate?" the old man encouraged.

"I see. I want to take Dongyin's major in vocal music, and I want to sing falsetto tenor." After learning about the thoughts of the elders in the family, Lu Ming no longer hesitated and strengthened his mind.

Everyone had a great time eating this meal.

Helped Lu Ming untie a knot in his heart.

After Lu Ming hung up the phone, Shao Yu added: "Didn't you hear it?"

"What did you hear?" Lu Ming was full of doubts.

Shao Yu and Fang Xing looked at each other.

Fang Xing said: "You should be too nervous on the phone with your elders, but when the call was first connected, there was a piece of music from "Red Ling".

"The sound could be heard at first, but it gradually became smaller. That is to say, your grandpa was watching our show at the time, and when he received a call, he turned down the sound."

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment.

He was on the phone with his elders, and what he was going to talk about was such a serious matter, he was very anxious, and he didn't even bother to pay attention to the music coming from the other end of the phone.
