This actor doesn't look like a good guy

Chapter 307 Assigning Tasks
Although no one from the company is participating in the election for the general director of the Olympic Games, this does not prevent them from knowing some insider information.

For example, this time Zhang Yi, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang and even Li An are planning to compete.

Moreover, Zhao Zhe also heard from the grapevine that Chen Kaige is determined to win the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games this time.

Although Zhang Yi is also in the limelight in recent years, and Li An once won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and the Academy Award for Best Director.

But as a second-generation director, Chen Kaige doesn't pay much attention to these opponents. Instead of making any preparations, he recently went out to play with his wife.

In recent years, Li An's development focus has been abroad, not to mention Zhang Yimou. No matter how powerful Zhang Yimou is now, in the past, Zhang Yimou was just one of his subordinates. Photographer boy.

On the other hand, others have begun to design intensively.

Although there are no suitable scenes to be filmed during this period, the organizing committee also plans to make a few theme songs related to the Olympics.

It was decided over there to sing a few singles and then a chorus.

But the collection has just started, so Jiang Bai also asked Li Ronghao to write one or two songs to try out, just in case he can be selected.

But just as Jiang Bai finished speaking, he received a call from the organizing committee, saying that they wanted to invite him to participate in the chorus.

"Teacher Jiang, do you have time here? We will be shooting for about a week."

"some."

Jiang Bai agreed without thinking. What's there to think about?Just agree with your eyes closed, and there are many people rushing to do this kind of opportunity without paying. If you can really get it, even if you spend money, it will be worth it.

This is a global sports event. Except for Taiwan Province of China, Hong Kong and Macao, all other events are based on countries.

After accepting this matter, Jiang Bai began to make preparations and plans.

Seven days later, Jiang Bai went to the venue where the organizing committee informed them of the meeting. Although they would not sing today, they had to plan in advance who would sing which line.

After coming here, Jiang Bai met many acquaintances.

Cheng Long, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Yixun, Nicholas Tse and Zhou Xiaoou.

I had collaborated with Cheng Long in "New Police Story". Cheng Long even took him out for a night of fun, but Huang Xiaoming didn't see him much on weekdays. The only time they met was when Huang Xiaoming didn't meet him a few years ago. When I graduated from school, I went to Beijing Film Academy to watch Dong Hyun's drama performance. At that time, Zhang Songwen took me around there.

We also met Chen Yixun in "New Police Story". At that time, when Chen Yixun heard that there was an opportunity to drive a truck into a truck, he immediately asked to play the truck driver.

Later, Yixun Chen also said that he would invite Jiang Bai to be a guest at his concert, but either Jiang Bai couldn't spare the time, or Yixun Chen had already invited someone else to be a guest. In short, this promise has never been fulfilled.

During this meeting, Chen Yixun also mentioned this matter again. He said that he will have a concert this year and is applying for a performance permit these days. If Jiang Bai is interested, he can choose a time and a city to be a guest.

"Okay, I should still have quite a lot of time this year."

"Then we've made a deal."

"no problem."

After chatting, he went to Nicholas Tse's side. Jiang Bai and Nicholas Tse knew each other in "New Police Story" and later collaborated in "Xiao Yuer and Hua Wuque".

It's just that the two of them couldn't get too close that time because of Zhang Weijian's incident, but they still kept in touch occasionally after that.

After exchanging a few words, Jiang Bai stood next to Zhou Xiaoou.

Speaking of Zhou Xiaoou coming to Jiang Bai, he will go a lot further. Firstly, they have collaborated before in "Conquest". Secondly, Zhou Xiaoou is based in Yanjing and has a good relationship with Wu Jing, so whenever Jiang Bai When Bai is coming back, it happens that when this person is in Yanjing, everyone will get together to eat and drink.

So the relationship is very strong.

"Jiang Bai, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that people would invite me over. Speaking of which, I'm just an actor. I've released a song before."

Zhou Xiaoou smiled: "You can't say that. Your talent in music is still very good. If nothing else, not many of us can win music awards in foreign countries. Although you won the award at that time It’s just a few pieces of music, but it’s also an Oscar. In terms of gold content, it’s no worse than those places that award music awards.”

"Brother Xiaoou, you're welcome, but what are you busy with recently?"

"Recently, I'm still performing. I released a new album last year and am currently on tour. But our band is also ill-fated. Originally, it was good for everyone to have a good band. Even if the popularity has dropped a little now, But there is still no problem with eating, but the problem lies with my teammates, alas, I won’t talk about it.

Our band is just taking it one step at a time. This year I accepted an invitation from director Gao to be in a TV series. I will probably become an actor in the future, but I really can’t sing. "

Jiang Bai nodded: "That's okay. Anyway, you have achieved a lot as a singer. Now that you have made a successful transition, you can retire and continue to work on another track."

But Zhou Xiaoou sighed again: "Actually, it's not easy to be an actor. With my image, I definitely can't play the protagonist. I can only play the villain. If I can have a face like yours, I'll be fine."

"Don't belittle yourself, brother Xiaoou. As long as your acting skills are in place, nothing is a problem. Look at Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang in our company, they are not much better than you. Aren't they both popular now?"

"It's hard to say, so let's just take it one step at a time. Anyway, I'm not short of money now. If I have a movie, I'll film it, and if I have a song, I'll sing."

While chatting, the creative team of the song they were going to sing also walked in.

This song is not just a song. The directors who will shoot the MV will be Wang Yinfei, Wang Linfei and Zhang Jun. They are all newcomers, but no matter what, since the organizing committee has chosen them to be directors, what about myself? People have to listen to their arrangements.

The composer of this song is Xiao Ke, who has composed music for many celebrities.

Including Na Ying, Elva Hsiao, Gu Ji, Mo Wenwei, etc. In [-], he also served as the songwriter of the prologue song and dance music of the Spring Festival Gala.

The lyricist is Lin Xi.

Not to mention Lin Xi’s resume, anyone who is involved in the music industry knows Lin Xi.

First, the director team introduced everyone, and then went straight to the point and started talking about the main content of this meeting.

"This time I am honored to invite you all to participate in the filming of the Olympic theme song "Yanjing Welcomes You". Our song is mainly performed in the form of a chorus, with each person having one or two lines, but we are now You need to determine the order first.

The lyrics and music have been put in front of everyone. Next, I will play a demo for you to listen to and then feel the lyrics you want to sing. "

Everyone nodded after listening.

After that, the director began to play the sample song they had recorded in advance on the multimedia.

"Welcome another morning, bringing new air, the breath changes, the mood remains unchanged, the fragrance of tea is full of affection..." The song is very simple to listen to, and it is also very catchy. The lyrics and music both show the momentum of the land of China. , also has simplicity and vitality, which makes people feel very comfortable upon first listening.

It's just that Jiang Bai was listening and thinking about which line he should sing. The first line was definitely not good. There were so many seniors present, and there were also national-level singers.

Even if the director asks me to sing, I can't accept it.

After listening to it once, Jiang Bai felt that there were a few sentences in the middle, "Welcome to Yanjing," and then another sentence after that, which was pretty good.

Firstly, it is the beginning of the climax, and secondly, I am more suitable for singing such high-pitched parts.

Finally, they wrote their names and the line they wanted to sing on a piece of paper and handed it in.

After the director received it, he asked the staff to make statistics. It took about ten minutes, and the statistical results came out.

They announced the one-person part first. Since there was only one candidate, there was no controversy and it was decided directly.

Most of the people present are singers. Even if they are not singers, they have sung to some extent, such as Cheng Long, and Cheng Long's son Fang Zuming, etc.

After settling on lyrics chosen by only one person, they then began coordinating parts chosen by two or three people.

For this part, they can choose to sing together, or they can choose not to let someone else sing.

But everyone is in the same circle. Since we bumped into each other, some people were embarrassed to say that they didn’t want to cooperate with others, so a dozen more lyrics were decided directly.

Taiwanese supermodel goddess Lin Zhiling and international supermodel Zhang Zilin sang the same line, Yang Kun and Fan Weiqi sang the same line, and You Hongming and Zhou Xiaoou also sang the same line.

After that, those who have no choice of lyrics need to be selected from those who have repeatedly selected songs to sing.

Questions were asked one by one, and those who were interested raised their hands. The director team gave priority to those national-level singing contestants to sing a single line. After they were all selected, it was the turn of others.

But as soon as I started asking, a huge problem arose. After the director asked around, no one sang the first line.

No one wants to choose or be in the limelight.

"Brother Chenglong, why don't you come? Regardless of your fame, national image, or international influence, it is actually more appropriate for you to sing this line."

When Cheng Long heard this, he moved his head and hands like rattles: "No, no, I'm not a professional singer. I can't do this. Just give me the middle sentence."

Producer Wang Pingjiu sighed after hearing this, and then looked at Liu Huan.

"Teacher Liu Huan, why don't you come?"

"I can't do it either. How can I afford this first place? Aren't there teachers Han Hong, Zhou Huajian, Yan Weiwen, and Liao Yongchang? They are much better than me."

But the people Liu Huan mentioned just now all rejected them one by one in the end.

There is no other way, this sentence can only be left empty for now.

After that, the first place where Yanjing welcomed you was followed by the words "Create a new world for you", this sentence fell on Cheng Long's head.

Since Cheng Long didn't want to sing the first line, he sang the first line "Welcome to Yanjing", and then asked around for the next line, and was finally taken away by Ren Xianqi.

Then came the second Yanjing Welcome. When the director asked, Cai Yilin raised his hand first. Others were too embarrassed to argue with a girl. In addition, Cai Yilin has also been very popular in recent years, so this sentence is It’s settled.

After that, lyrics came out one after another, and people raised their hands to choose. Finally, when the second chorus started, Jiang Bai raised his hand this time.

Originally, Nicholas Tse and He Rundong wanted to raise their hands, but they were not as fast as Jiang Bai.

After seeing Jiang Bai choose to leave, they also stopped their movements.

Nicholas Tse himself has a good relationship with Jiang Bai, so he naturally doesn't want to argue with Jiang Bai over these things, and He Rundong is even less interested. Jiang Bai taught him how to play up his emotions when filming.

Especially when he played Bu Jingyun, Jiang Bai taught him a lot of tricks at that time. Although those plots were criticized by many people after they were broadcast, it is undeniable that He Rundong is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people precisely because of this image. .

So Jiang Bai is also half of his teacher.

In the end, Nicholas Tse chose the last line, while Ho Run-tung didn't choose the last line. In the end, he went to Jin Haixin to sing "If you have courage, there will be miracles".

At this point, except for the first sentence, all other lyrics have been assigned.

"Oh, now the first sentence has not been selected, what should I do?" At this time, the director team and producer were a little worried.

"How about we also have a chorus in the first line?"

But as soon as the director proposed this idea, the producer immediately rejected it.

The lyrics of the first line must be sung by one person.

"Welcome another morning to bring new air. This line must be refreshing and represent hope. If everyone sings it together, the sound will be too mixed and thick."

"Then why not find a female singer with a more ethereal voice to sing."

Everyone nodded, but at this time the songwriter said: "Actually, we all think so, but there is nothing we can do if no one is willing to sing the first line."

At this time, Han Hong said: "It's not that they don't sing, it's mainly because it's inappropriate. The idea of ​​this song is too big, and no one can afford it."

Others also expressed their own opinions, but generally speaking, they all had the same meaning.

Jiang Bai listened for a while: "How about finding a little girl with a good voice to sing? Children should not have these problems, and aren't children the dawn of the motherland?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

"This method is good, and the intention is good. The overall style has improved immediately." Liao Changyong said.

This not only solves the problem of the first sentence, but also sublimates the theme again.

The main creator immediately agreed to the idea. Now that all the lyrics have been assigned, they can just find a little girl with a good voice later.

"Finally, let me talk about the schedule for arranging this song. We will start recording in about a week, and it will last for a week. During this week, everyone has worked hard to practice this song more. When we were filming, Everyone has to sing the complete song, and then we will separate each voice through editing, so as to ensure the integrity of the song, otherwise it will inevitably feel fragmented if you sing just one sentence."
