1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 6 Audition, meeting Jiang Wen for the first time!
The Master said: "If a worker wants to be good at his work, he must first sharpen his tools."

Monkey King, who has learned 72 changes, went to the East China Sea Dragon Palace to snatch the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in order to have a good weapon, let alone the fledgling Jiang Xiaofeng?
Now that Jiang Xiaofeng is planning to transform into a singer-songwriter, he naturally cannot live without a decent musical instrument. With his current financial strength, he definitely cannot afford a piano. The only affordable, practical and easy-to-learn musical instrument is probably the guitar.

Soon, Jiang Xiaofeng found out from his neighbors that the Xinghai Piano Shop in Donganmen was a well-known state-owned old store at home and abroad, so he wanted to buy an entry-level guitar and come back to learn.

The next day, early in the morning.

The bleary-eyed Jiang Xiaofeng, as usual, got up to practice morning exercises, and then went to the public toilet to empty the chamber pot with other neighbors who had just woken up.

After washing up, Jiang Xiaofeng went to a nearby breakfast shop and ordered two fried dough sticks, two meat buns, and one soy milk.

After eating and drinking enough, Jiang Xiaofeng was walking on the road, ready to go to the bus station to take the bus.

When passing by a newsstand, Jiang Xiaofeng saw a newspaper advertising that the cast of "Sunny Day" was recruiting actors.

In order to find a suitable actor, director Jiang Wen published the advertisement in "Yanjing Evening News" and "Xinmin Evening News", looking for people across the country. In addition to two actors who look like him, he also needs to find a few young people with personality actors and actresses.

In Jiang Xiaofeng's previous life memories, Jiang Wen was a very good director, and "Sunny Day" is also a very good movie.

However, Jiang Xiaofeng knew that he didn't look like Jiang Wen, but he was just 18 years old this year. He was definitely young and had a personality, so he should be qualified to interview for other roles.

Soon, Jiang Xiaofeng came to the audition location for "Sunny Day" according to the address in the newspaper.

The audition location was in a courtyard house in Prince Kung's Mansion. Because they came early, there were not many actors who came to the audition. Jiang Xiaofeng didn't prepare anything. When he saw an actor coming out, he opened the door and went in.

Jiang Wen was taken aback when he saw Jiang Xiaofeng enter the room, thinking, why did he come in with a bald head?
And Jiang Xiaofeng saw Jiang Wen himself for the first time in reality, and couldn't help but take a second look.

From Jiang Xiaofeng's point of view, Jiang Wen looked a bit like a man from Yuanmou, with a pair of protruding ears, small eyes, and a rough man's temperament on his whole face. Coupled with his tall and strong figure, he looked very aura.

Next to Jiang Wen is Er Yong, the production director of "Sunny Day". Er Yong's father is Zhang Yongshou, a famous actor from Bayi Film Studio, and the handsome camper in the movie "Southern Expedition and Northern War". long.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaofeng was empty-handed, Jiang Wen didn't seem to have made any preparations, but he also guessed that he was an actor who came to audition, so he said, "I'm here, let me introduce myself."

Hearing Jiang Wen's words, Jiang Xiaofeng nodded, and said politely: "Hello director, producer, my name is Jiang Xiaofeng, I'm 18 years old, and I'm here to audition for a role."

Jiang Wen nodded, looked at Jiang Xiaofeng's bald head, and joked with a smile: "Brother, what about your hair, why did you lose your hair at such a young age?"

Jiang Xiaofeng touched his head, and replied: "Director, I'm not losing my hair, I'm shaved. I was a Shaolin monk before."

Jiang Wen smashed his mouth, and then asked: "Can your hair grow back?"

Jiang Xiaofeng said categorically, "Of course I can!"

Jiang Wen suddenly became curious about Jiang Xiaofeng's identity, and asked doubtfully, "Are you really a monk from Shaolin Temple?"

Jiang Xiaofeng explained dumbfoundingly: "Director, you misunderstood, I am not a monk, I am a monk, a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple."

Jiang Wen said with great interest: "Shaolin lay disciples are still monks, so show us."

"Okay!" Jiang Xiaofeng didn't talk too much, first simply warmed up, and then performed the best set of drunken fists in front of Jiang Wen and production director Er Yong.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng practiced routines in Shaolin Temple, once an expert made a move, he would know if there was one. Jiang Xiaofeng was really good at fighting.

Jiang Wen and Er Yong saw that Jiang Xiaofeng had two brushes.

However, what made Jiang Wen interested in Jiang Xiaofeng was not his drunken fist, nor his status as a monk.

What really made Jiang Wen interested in him was his appearance, figure, and masculine temperament, a bit like a stubborn master he knew when he was a child.

It may be because of practicing martial arts since childhood, Jiang Xiaofeng looks very masculine, and his spirit is also very good.

Jiang Wen turned his head and asked Er Yong beside him, "Do you think it looks like it?"

Er Yong nodded understandingly: "It's kind of like that!"

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't understand who he looked like, but he was [-]% sure that he didn't look like Jiang Wen, and he thought he was much more handsome than Jiang Wen.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Wen said, "All right, monk, please leave your name and your home phone number. If something happens, we will notify you as soon as possible."

Jiang Xiaofeng patted the dust on his clothes casually, and replied, "Director, I don't have a phone at home!"

Jiang Wen said: "Then you can write down your home address."

"Okay." After speaking, Jiang Xiaofeng wrote down his name and current address for Jiang Wen on a piece of paper.

However, Jiang Xiaofeng didn't think he had a role to play. He came here this time purely to try his luck. Of course it would be best to be selected, and it's acceptable if he couldn't be selected. After all, he is not an actor with a professional background.

After leaving the crew of "Sunny Day", Jiang Xiaofeng spent 5 cents to get on the bus and arrived at Xinghai Music Store, planning to buy a classical guitar.

When asked about the price of 138 yuan, Jiang Xiaofeng returned home dispirited, and went to a small piano store, where he bought a second-hand red cotton guitar for 30 yuan.

In order to save some tuition fees, Jiang Xiaofeng bought two books "Modern Rock Guitar Textbook" and "Composition Method" at the old book stand on the side of the road for 1 yuan.

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't know notation at first, and knew nothing. He started from self-study numbered notation, and then learned composition.

"Modern Rock Guitar Textbook" contains not only five-line notation, but also six-line notation, which is full of heavy metal guitar notation.

Jiang Xiaofeng was holding a red cotton guitar and couldn't learn it at all, so he simply ignored the textbooks and just figured it out in the rented house by himself, trying to find his feel while playing.

The neighbor who lives in the next room to Jiang Xiaofeng is a college graduate. Although no one wants to know his name, in order to facilitate communication among neighbors, and he shaved his head, everyone calls him "crew head". .

And because Jiang Xiaofeng came from Shaolin Temple, he was bald and looked like a monk, so everyone called him a monk.

Jiang Xiaofeng was very fortunate that he was only called a "monk" and was not called a bald head like a flat head.

He came to Yanjing with a flat head to prepare for the Yanjing university graduate exam. He almost stayed at home every day, reading and studying in his room.

But since Jiang Xiaofeng came back from buying the guitar, he was annoyed by the noise Jiang Xiaofeng made all day long.

One or two days was fine, but after a few days, I wanted to get angry several times, but seeing Jiang Xiaofeng's tall and strong figure, he swallowed his anger and suggested in a low voice: "Monk, do me a favor, can you help me during the day?" Try to go out and play the guitar?"

"You are like this every day, I really can't study, really, please..."

Jiang Xiaofeng was still very reasonable. Knowing that his playing the guitar was too noisy to study, he agreed without saying a word.

In the next few days, Jiang Xiaofeng spent less time playing the guitar in the house. Most of the time, he went outside the courtyard to practice the piano.

The landlord of this courtyard is a couple. Their son is in the third year of high school. Pingtou has always had a wish to help their son with homework and earn some living expenses and rent for himself.

But Pingtou saw that the college entrance examination was about to come, and his wish to tutor the landlord's son has never been realized.

Because the landlord's son defines himself as a landlord in the future, just like his parents.

The landlord's son is Xiao Li. After learning about Pingtou's thoughts, Xiao Li snorted and said to Pingtou: "In the future, I will rely on this yard. It is enough to rent the house to people like you. I have nothing to go to university! I am full. Hold on!"

Perhaps because of their similar age, Xiao Li and Jiang Xiaofeng were kindred spirits. They not only clamored to learn martial arts from Jiang Xiaofeng, but also asked his parents for money, bought a guitar, and went to Jiang Xiaofeng's room to learn piano skills.

Although Xiao Li's academic performance is not good, he is also a music lover. He often carries the tape recorder at home to Jiang Xiaofeng's room to enjoy and talk about music with Jiang Xiaofeng.

Like most boys in the capital, Xiao Li also likes rock and roll. I used to think that he liked the Black Panthers.

It wasn't until Dou Wei left the Black Panther that Xiao Li realized that what he liked was not the Black Panther, but the Black Panther with Dou Wei, especially the two songs "Shame on the Land" and "Don't Break My Heart" composed and sung by Dou Wei classical songs.

In fact, the change of musicians and lead singers in a band is not new in the world, but most of them can't get around it: "Can't produce songs, disagree with ideas, rely too much on someone, uneven income distribution, and insufficient time". reason.

Although it is very common for a band to change its name without changing its name, it is still new in the world for a famous band like the Black Panther, the "big brother of Huaguo rock music", to change the lead singer of "Liu Shui".

In the 7th year of their formation, the Black Panthers recruited a new lead singer, Qin Yong. This is already the 4th lead singer of the Black Panthers, but the musicians are still the same. According to public information, the regular lead singers of the band are :
Ding Wu (1987-1988)

Dou Wei (1988-1991)

Luan Shu (1992-1993)

Qin Yong (1993-)

According to this trend, maybe one day in the future, "Black Panthers and the lead singer" will become the most talked about meme in the country rock world.
