The program team lost contact, and the desert island live broadcast reversed the character design

Chapter 393 Light in the Dark

As an amateur player, Qi Xinyan’s accumulated inspiration was insufficient after her stunning debut, and her performance gradually became mediocre.

In qualifying, she gradually fell into the middle of the pack.

But Su Zhe was still very optimistic about her and found that she was like a sponge when studying, growing rapidly and gradually showing her hidden talents.

This made Su Zhe even a little worried. Chengzi Video refused to let him go, but he didn't expect that Chengzi was very happy and let Qi Xinyan and Mary Su sign the contract before the final recording.

Du Kang is such a happy person!

Su Zhe knew how to reciprocate kindness. Remembering his previous promise, he said:

"Don't worry, I will write a song for Qi Xinyan and let her sing in the finals."

Anyway, the copyright of the song still belongs to Su Zhe, and Qi Xinyan, who has signed a contract with Mary Sue, is still being praised. It just gives the program team an additional publicity hotspot, and Su Zhe is not at a loss.

Du Kang is also very happy. For a music variety show, how can it be popular without a hit song?
But the happiest person is undoubtedly Qi Xinyan herself.

In fact, if the future is bright and you are doing a career that you like, who will lie down?
When they arrived at the recording studio, Su Zhe accompanied him and taught Qi Xinyan how to sing.

You know, this song is almost entirely transposed.

Qi Xinyan was very embarrassed:
"I know how to do it, but I don't sing R&B. It's normal that I'm not very proficient in transposition."

Being popular in the music talent show means that the song is of good quality and is especially suitable for competitions.

"You don't know how to transpose?" Su Zhe looked at Qi Xinyan in surprise. Teacher Xue taught her singing skills. He didn't know, otherwise he would not have come up with "Rolling Bead Curtain".

Who in the industry doesn't know that Su Zhe has a million-dollar reputation? He barely sang, and all of his songs became hits.

Su Zhe nodded in agreement:
"I'll record a demonstration video for you. But remember, it's a trick for you to follow me. A good singer must have his own ideas about songs and sing according to his own understanding, not just Imitate others.”

But there is a very strange thing. After listening to it, it is difficult to remember the lyrics and the melody. It seems like listening to a piece of pure music. ——It’s very difficult to become popular.

Never be fooled.

What's more, Qi Xinyan is a fan of Su Zhe's music. How does it feel to be gifted a song by an idol?
"Thank you, instructor. I will sing well and not embarrass you! Really..."

"Generally speaking, original singers have very high singing skills. After all, they write the songs themselves and know the emotions contained in them best. My expectations for you are not to be a singing machine. And you can't do it either."

If she misses this masterpiece due to lack of ability, she will never forgive herself for the rest of her life. She will have to sit up and give herself a slap in the face all night long.

This also shows the importance of singers, even in Su Zhe's view: third-rate singers compete for singing skills, second-rate singers compete for performance, and first-rate singers compete for singers.

Su Zhe saw her "insidious" thoughts and immediately interrupted.

"Don't worry, mentor, I will try my best to win!"

Qi Xinyan lowered her head in shame:
who are you? Music master! I'm a newbie, can I compete with you?
Su Zhe was helpless, scratched his head and gave up:
"Forget it, let's change the song. How can you sing "Rolling Bead Curtain" if you don't know how to transpose it?"

This is Huo Zun's entry song in "Chinese Good Songs". He became famous immediately and has always been considered by fans as one of the most fairy-like new generation male singers.

Qi Xinyan chuckled:

Qi Xinyan was furious. It was difficult for her to improve her transposition level in a short period of time, but she could practice a song hard and carve it into her vocal memory.

Even if it is the same song, different singers will have different feelings when singing it. This is a very important ability of a singer in addition to function (tound and music, etc.) and singing skills - singing ability.

Therefore, the quality of "Rolling Bead Curtain" is just right, making Qi Xinyan popular but not making Su Zhe reluctant to part with it.

Don't look at any quick videos on the Internet such as "Learn the key to transposing in three minutes". In fact, it is not easy to sing well and mellowly.

Especially for the song "Rolling Bead Curtain", if the transposition is stiff, it will lose its immortality.

If you don't show off your skills, you won't be able to sing, and your ability to interpret the artistic conception of the song is very poor.

He thought so and didn't take it too seriously, but after Qi Xinyan listened to his playing and singing, she was shocked:
"Isn't this too nice? Teacher, you are my eternal benefactor!"

Su Zhe understood her very well. Thinking about her style, she picked a song that was somewhat similar:

"If you're not proficient, you don't know how to do it." As a top singer, Su Zhe has very strict requirements. "Besides, I'm a folk singer who knows how to transpose. If I don't learn more and practice more, how can I understand by analogy?"

After listening to "Rolling Bead Curtain", she became deeply obsessed with this song. Thinking that it could become her masterpiece, she felt extremely lucky, like smoke rising from the graves of her ancestors.

"Don't even think about lying down. At least you can write a few nice Chinese-style songs. It means I didn't train you in vain."

Su Zhe reminded.

""Bead Curtain", let's go to the recording studio and try it."

(Because the singing skills and performance of first-class singers are usually not bad)
So Su Zhe doesn't want Qi Xinyan to become a singer who can only learn to sing, and his requirements are very high:

She even felt that if she lay down in the future, she could earn a lifetime meal ticket by relying on such a masterpiece.

"Then you should practice hard, but if you don't sing well, I won't give you face and will give you a low score."

It's a pity that he was kicked out of the circle later, and later it seemed that it was a false accusation. If it is really a false accusation, it would be a pity.

Su Zhe could understand her mood, thought about it, and agreed:

Qi Xinyan's natural timbre and pitch are very suitable for singing the fairy-like "Rolling Bead Curtain", but there is a problem -

Qi Xinyan liked this song very much. She looked at Su Zhe pitifully and begged:

Su Zhe remembered that there was a very famous singer in his previous life. His physical function was extremely good, and his singing skills were so good that he was called a singing machine. However, his singing skills were too low and he could only sing in one way - showing off his skills. (Remark)

"Teacher, I'll practice! Isn't it just transposition? I will definitely practice it."

She was laughing so hard that she was speechless.

After all, I can't even sing well.

As for the singing machine in the previous life, at least his singing skills were really good, and you could hear how good he was as soon as he opened his voice.

When Qi Xinyan heard Su Zhe's expectations, she felt both stressed and excited. She nodded excitedly and said:

"Only this time, I will definitely move forward with the goal of being a mentor!"

Although no one mentions Su Zhe's singer, after all, not many people pay attention to it. Most listeners will only use the instinctive "good-sounding" to evaluate the singer.

But it is obvious that, like his performance and singing skills, he is also at the top level in the industry.

——This does not even rely on the system, but on Su Zhe's own understanding.

"Come on."

Su Zhe left after recording the song.

While Qi Xinyan was practicing, he went to a Spring Festival Gala rehearsal and confirmed that he would play the male lead in "Not Short of Money" - Xiao Shenyang.

It's just that Xiao Shenyang was the stage name of the male protagonist in the previous life. Of course, this name is not used now. Instead, the name is directly used based on the original male protagonist Cheng Yongjun.

This was also to let Cheng Yongjun bind the character and become popular together, and even wrote a few name memes.

(The original sketch has a homophone of Xiao Shenyang-Xiaochang)

Now that Su Zhe is playing the role, there is no time to change the script, so he can only inherit the actor's name as it is.

So in "Not Short of Money", Su Zhe plays "Cheng Yongjun".

After the rehearsal, although he was too handsome, which would have weakened the baggage effect, his acting skills were so good that he still made everyone laugh. The effect of praising him was stronger than that of Cheng Yongjun himself.

He also watched "To Help or Not to Help" starring Lu Jian, and the performance was very good. What surprised Su Zhe was that the traffic policeman in the sketch was actually Ding Xinping from the Star Theater.

He heard gossip from Xu Cui. This man was jealous of Lu Jian and caused some minor conflicts. Unexpectedly, he ended up playing the role of a traffic policeman.

Although there aren’t many scenes, it’s the Spring Festival Gala after all!

Being able to appear in the Spring Festival Gala can really be said to be an opportunity for many grassroots actors to honor their ancestors, and the competition is very fierce.

This made Su Zhe very curious and asked Xu Cui:

"Have they reconciled?"

Xu Cui was in charge of this skit and also came to the scene and replied in a low voice:

"Hmm. I really don't understand men. They had a falling out before, but they made up after a drink. Lu Jian especially supported Ding Xinping's role as a traffic policeman, and he did a good job." Su Zhe didn't care about such trivial matters. , just as he was about to leave, Director Zhu Jun came to Su Zhe with a young actor and his manager, and said awkwardly:

"Teacher Su, Xiao Chen admires you very much and wants to learn from you."

Su Zhe didn't understand. What should he learn from himself? I have so many advantages, but it’s not easy to learn from them.

The agent quickly said:

"Mr. Su, we are... This is our Chen Qiu. He has great potential. He wants to go to the Spring Festival Gala to get some glory. He will be favored after the new year."

Su Zhe had never heard of the company she mentioned, but Xu Cui reminded in a low voice that it had Penguin's investment.

Penguin is an old friend, and Zhu Jun is a pleasure to work with. Su Zhe is very considerate:
"Then I hope he becomes a hit."

The agent said:
"I have a heartfelt request. There are not many traffic police scenes in "Help or Not". Can our Chen Qiu go up and show his face?"

Su Zhe suddenly realized, no wonder he came to him because he wanted to replace Ding Xinping!
They are very calculating. The role of a traffic policeman has few roles and is not favored by big stars. It is just suitable for a newcomer like Chen Qiu.

And there is almost no acting required, there is no pressure, and there is no need to worry about performing badly.

The most important thing is that they inquired and found out that Ding Xinping did not sign Mary Sue and was not Su Zhe's person. Su Zhe had no reason to guarantee him.

After hearing their words, all the members of "Help or Not" were nervous, especially Ding Xinping, who felt desperate.

He knew that he was not favored by Su Zhe, so he did not sign Mary Sue, and even left a bad impression on Su Zhe.

In this case, why did Su Zhe protect him?

And this kind of thing is not uncommon. Let alone the minor roles he plays, even for important roles, there have been cases where sketch actors worked hard in rehearsals and finally passed the final review, only to be replaced by stars.

Even in Su Zhe's previous life, a certain ancestor had done it many times.

——Although the skit was of poor quality, it cannot conceal the egregiousness of this behavior.

Not to mention Ding Xinping, even Lu Jian and others became nervous:
None of them are stars. If Ding Xinping can be replaced, what about them?
Now everyone knows that the script that plays Su Zhe can be popular! If a big star falls in love with their role, what ability do they have to resist?
Could it be that they rehearsed so hard, passed five hurdles and defeated six generals, and faced many difficulties before the sketch passed the Spring Festival Gala review, just to send the stars to the Spring Festival Gala stage?
Just because they are not celebrities, are they not popular?
A request that, in the eyes of Chen Qiu and his agent, was not difficult and should be taken for granted, made these hard-working sketch actors all clenched their fists and looked miserable.

Su Zhe was silent, not looking at them, but just looking at Chen Qiu, looking into his nonchalant eyes:

"I seem to have heard that you are the newcomer that Penguin plans to promote. This kind of opportunity is just the icing on the cake for you, not even the icing on the cake, and it won't attract many fans."

Chen Qiu thought Su Zhe was praising him and smiled happily:
"I think so. Fortunately, it doesn't take any effort. Mr. Su, I am honored to participate in your script, but it would be even better if it was a TV series."

He did not forget to flatter Su Zhe, but Su Zhe pointed at the sketch actors behind him:

"But this small opportunity is the only light for them in the long wait."

Everyone was stunned. Even Chen Qiu, who was slow-minded, felt that this did not seem like consent.

Su Zhe asked Xu Cui:
"Are they rehearsing carefully?"

Xu Cui immediately replied:

"It's very serious and very hard. Some of the new baggage was created by rehearsing and rehearsing based on your script."

She didn't say it out loud, but she even felt that the current version had surpassed Su Zhe's script.

Su Zhe also believes that comedians in this world can naturally come up with baggage that is not inferior to that of their previous lives.

"I will not let down their efforts."

Su Zhe's words were unequivocal.

There is a chicken soup saying, "God will not let down everyone who works hard."

In fact, God will let you down, and reality is not so beautiful.

But Su Zhe won't.

Everyone was stunned, and all eyes were cast on Su Zhe——

Some are shocked, some are admired, some are moved, some are puzzled...

Su Zhe behaved very normally.

As if this is what he should do, this is the principle that a big shot in the industry should abide by.

There was silence.

Naturally, Chen Qiu and his agent did not dare to offend Su Zhe for a small role. After a few embarrassing words of praise, they left.

Zhu Jun was also embarrassed, explained a few words and left.

Only the actors from "It's Not Short of Money" and "Help or Not" were left. They couldn't help but surround Su Zhe and shouted:

"Mr. Su, thank you."

"Mr. Su, you are so domineering. I will definitely hang out with you in the future!"

"..."

Su Zhe smiled and waved to them:
"Stop flattering, I just can't stand the behavior of picking peaches. It's okay to become famous, just work hard and don't bully those who work hard."

After saying that, he left and was still busy recording the finals of "Chinese Song and Dance".

After he left, the sketch actors got even more excited:

"This is the first time I've met such an upright person like Mr. Su."

"It's really touching."

"This kind of person deserves to make money! No matter what he does, I will always support him!"

Even if it is something that is not allowed, she supports it! You can open a harem!

Among them, Ding Xinping, who should be most grateful to Su Zhe, remained silent, his words echoing in his heart:

"The only light in the long wait" "I will not let down their efforts"...

He thought that he was living in the capital for his dream of being an actor, but he could barely earn rent money and could only act in small plays or some marginal roles.

He never belonged to this city, and he never belonged to the entertainment industry.

So why should he persist? Do you have a mine at home?
No, his family conditions are even worse than that of ordinary people. His parents work in farming, and they can't even earn a meal like a star in the industry after working for a year.

Logically speaking, people like him are not qualified to pursue dreams, or even have dreams.

But he didn't want to extinguish the fire in his heart. Although his farming parents didn't understand anything, they still gritted their teeth and supported him:

"Let me try it for another year, otherwise I won't give in."

This trial lasted seven years, and he was already thirty, but he still accomplished nothing. If you advance, you cannot advance; if you retreat, you cannot go back.

After years of futile efforts, relatives in the village began to gossip about everything, but his parents were unwilling to tell him more.

Therefore, when Su Zhe didn't take a fancy to him but fell in love with Lu Jian, his heart collapsed and he almost fell out with his good brother for many years.

But he still seized this only opportunity and rehearsed hard, not just for the sake of fame, but also so that his parents could proudly say to their relatives when they saw the Spring Festival Gala:

"This is my baby. My baby is attending the Spring Festival Gala. He is very promising!"

After this, he can bid farewell to his years of dreams and go back with regret and satisfaction.

But a little willfulness from a young boy almost destroyed his only hope.

And he had already told his parents that he was going to the Spring Festival Gala. He didn't know how to explain to his parents, and how his parents should face their relatives.

At this moment, no one knew his despair.

Darkness was like a curtain on a stage, tightly surrounding him.

Until that light comes in.
