China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 711 Mentor Selection and Sequel
When going to bed at night, Liu Yifei was still worried about becoming a tutor.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to contribute to the company, nor does she not want to participate, but her main consideration is still a matter of face.

Family members know their own business, and Liu Yifei is very clear about her own abilities in music.

First of all, objectively speaking, as a pure singing singer, Liu Yifei is fully capable after continuous learning and training in recent years.

The key elements to becoming a singer include good vocal conditions, sense of rhythm, musical perception, as well as creative ability, singing skills and stage performance, etc.

That’s basically it.

In terms of vocal conditions, to be honest, Liu Yifei is not bad at all.

Her voice has a pure timbre, a high-pitched sound quality, accurate throat pronunciation position, fluent and natural pronunciation, proper control of oral space, and her voice is very comfortable to listen to.

The reason why her lines in previous movies seemed to lack appeal and resonance was because her basic skills were not very good and her foundation in "voice" was weak.

But after Sun Yi's guidance and Liu Yifei's deliberate training in recent years, she can now make perfect use of her voice, both in singing and in delivering lines.

As for the sense of rhythm and musical perception, it is also called musicality.

The meaning of this word is very broad, and can even be attributed to absolute talent.

To put it in terms that ordinary people can understand, it is about whether you have a feeling for the music.

An ordinary person can become a KTV singer without any professional training. After listening to a song a few times, he can sing it very nicely, without being out of tune or having a messy rhythm. This is because he has a strong innate sense of music.

In this regard, Liu Yifei can only be said to be qualified.

A little bit stronger than ordinary people.

There is something, but it is limited.

However, musical sense can be improved through training, but the process is very slow. There is even an invisible bottleneck that determines the upper limit of a singer.

To be honest, Liu Yifei is not very strong in terms of creative ability, or even relatively weak. She can simply and casually compose a short melody or beat, but she is not so good at composing complete lyrics and music.

Of course, singing singers don’t take this too seriously. After all, there is a biggest bug behind her.

As for singing skills, they are accumulated purely through training. It is a process of hard work. If you practice, you will improve. There is no doubt about Liu Yifei's hard work.

The final stage performance, or stage presence, is Liu Yifei's strong point.

To maximize the expressiveness, we have to add MAX.

Combining these relevant factors, Liu Yifei can be said to be a fairly good singer, but she is definitely not a singing champion.

And in the music industry, the qualifications are even lower.

Just looking at her age, 25, it's hard to describe her as experienced.

"Brother, do you want to reconsider it? I still think I am not suitable to be a mentor. I still have to study myself. How can I be someone else's mentor? You can find Brother Hua. With his status, he is definitely qualified."

Liu Yifei had been busy all day. She watched the flag-raising ceremony early in the morning, took care of Sun Yi in the afternoon, and cooked in the evening. To be honest, she was a little sleepy, but when she thought about being a mentor and embarrassing herself in front of the people of the whole country, she forced herself to talk to Sun Yi, hoping that he would let her go.

Sun Yi was in high spirits at this time. After one night, he had already thought about the matter thoroughly.

Seeing Liu Yifei holding her eyelids open and trying to excuse herself, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you."

"Besides, if anyone dares to say that you are not qualified, I will be the first to disagree. My Sissi sings very well."

"Stop it, I don't want to embarrass myself~"

"Who embarrassed you? Even though this is a music talent show with students and mentors, it is still an entertainment variety show at its core. The main purpose is entertainment. The presence of mentors is just to enhance the entertainment while showing professionalism. This is not the Olympics. How can it be so professional?"

"If we talk about professionalism, I should invite four professors to teach at the Conservatory of Music. But if I do that, no one will be interested in watching it."

"As the mentor this time, you can just be the entertainment person and just go there for fun."

Liu Yifei's mind was beginning to feel a little confused at this moment, but she still followed Sun Yi's thinking inertia. She felt that her brother would never embarrass her in any way, so she subconsciously put her arms around Sun Yi and started talking in her sleep.

"No~ You can't lie to me. I don't want to lose face. I want to save my dignity~"

"Don't worry, definitely not"

Ha, I fell asleep so quickly.

Liu Yifei had closed her eyes and her breathing had slowed down.

Sun Yi carefully pulled the quilt for her, then rested his head on his other arm, his eyes empty, and began to think.

I still remember that the mentors for the first season of "The Voice of China" in my previous life were Na Yingzi, Liu Huan, Harlem and Yang Sanshierlang.

Judging from the results at the time, this lineup of mentors was quite successful.

Those who want popularity have popularity, those who want professionalism have professionalism, those who want singing skills have singing skills, and some who can take the initiative to create a good atmosphere. It can be said that it is a pretty good combination.

But this doesn't mean that Starry Sky can't do better.

First of all, from the perspective of later generations, Na Yingzi was not a very qualified mentor.

This failure refers to the professionalism. In the subsequent elimination rounds, it was obvious that there was an element of acting.

Of course, Sun Yi also knows that this kind of variety show must have a script, and the four mentors also have their own personalities, but they can't treat the audience as fools.

You can tell who sings well or badly just by listening.

Moreover, Na Yingzi is a rather complicated person, with both good and bad reputations. She was once known as a "silly girl" who dared to speak out against the injustice in the circle, but later on, she obviously became a defender of vested interests.

Sun Yi didn't want to use her this time.

Moreover, her position as a mentor is easy to replace, as she herself has not shown any ability to teach students in the show.

It's always "It sounds good!" "It sounds really good!" "It's great!", and there are basically no convincing opinions.

As for Harlem, he is mainly professional and funny, and his musical comments are remarkable. He is also a singer, songwriter, producer, and host, and has rich music theory, arrangement, harmony and singing skills.

At the same time, he can also control the rhythm of the scene, and can be said to be a versatile person.

Yang Sanshierlang was responsible for transition and lyricism, always saying, "Please tell me your story."

The remaining Liu Huan has both qualities. He is relatively low-key and is more of a representative of orthodoxy and authority.

To be honest, Sun Yi feels that all of these mentors except Harlem can be replaced. There is no other way, since he is so versatile and can also represent the Taiwan region.

As for Hong Kong Island, the young lady recommended Andy Lau who is very good.

As one of the "Four Heavenly Kings", his level is certainly impeccable. The only problem is that he seems to have not participated in this type of variety show for many years.

I just don’t know if Sun Yi’s face is enough in this matter.

Sun Yi also thought clearly about how to use the little girl.

After all, Star Sky’s “The Voice of China” has just begun. If we want the audience to accept it in advance, we can only work hard on the selection of mentors.

Not only must it be professional and authoritative, it must also be entertaining and popular with the audience.

Judging from the last two points, Liu Yifei is fully qualified to be one of the mentors.

Her popularity is basically unrivaled among all the current Chinese stars of the same age, whether in the film and television industry or the music industry.

With her participation, the show's appeal will be maximized.

Moreover, she only needs to participate as a junior in the music industry, focusing on popular music and being responsible for comedy. In this regard, she is acting in her true colors, and her interview skills are very suitable for use here. When the time comes, let her relax the restrictions and let her give full play to her abilities, I believe the effect will be very explosive.

As for the other candidate, Sun Yi couldn't think of one for a while. He felt that he should listen to Wang Jingtian's opinion again, after all, he was a professional.

After thinking all this through, Sun Yi also felt sleepy. Looking at Liu Yifei who was snoring beside him, he smiled, kissed her gently on the forehead, and then fell asleep.

It was decided that Star Sky would launch "The Voice of China".

The mentors currently planned to be invited are Liu Yifei and Liu Dehua. Not only do they meet the requirements in all aspects, but they can also continue to attract attention through this program before the release of "Gravity". I believe it will also be a great boost to the promotion of the film.

As for the remaining mentor, Sun Yi asked Wang Jingtian, who didn't have a definite candidate for the time being, but still gave a few names that seemed to be suitable.

For example, Sun Nan, Wang Fei, Han Hong and many others are famous, powerful and first-class singers.

Among them are the names of Na Yingzi and Liu Huan.

Sun Yi handed the matter over to Wang Jingtian, asking him to invite various parties and see their schedules and whether they were willing to participate in Star Sky's "The Voice of China".

As for him, he needs to hurry up and finish the filming plan of "Gravity".

Fortunately, he still had a "coolie" on hand.

"Lao Guo, hurry up and re-plan the shooting plan according to my newly revised script, and then coordinate with Michael's special effects department."

That’s right, Sun Yi captured the assistant director Guo Fan.

"It's just adding the content of the Tiangong space station. This is easy to do. We already have the scenes of the Tiangong space station. Now we just need to design the actors' movements."

After Guo Fan read the script revised by Sun Yi, he thought for a moment, then nodded and replied.

In his opinion, the overall changes to the script are not that big. It's just a change of order, which significantly reduces the role of the US-led International Space Station.

In three or four days, I can almost work out the shooting plan again.

Sun Yi was very satisfied to hear Guo Fan's answer.

Generally speaking, he used to do this kind of work himself.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust others, but that he doesn’t have the right candidate. Now with Guo Fan, Sun Yi feels very relieved.

"Thank you for your hard work. I have to lead the team to participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards in two days. I will leave the crew to you. When I come back from Hong Kong, we will hurry up to reshoot and try to wrap up before May."

"When the time comes, I will urge Michael to ask Star Digital to work overtime and try to release the film before the end of the year according to the original schedule."

"Well, don't worry, boss. I don't think it should be a big problem."

Guo Fan seemed very confident. The longer he stayed in the starry sky, the more confident he felt.

Whether in terms of personnel quality or related technology, Starry Sky Image is far superior to other domestic film and television companies.

"By the way, Lao Guo, Ruijun and Yukun have already started shooting their own theatrical movies. Do you have any ideas?"

Sun Yi asked Guo Fan with a smile.

Sun Yi is very satisfied with the three directing graduate students recommended by Director Tian, ​​and he devotes all his resources to their training.

Now, Li Ruijun and Xin Yukun have already started shooting their own personal works. Sun Yi really wants to know whether Guo Fan really wants to be a producer.

Guo Fan chuckled and replied, "Not really. It's just that after coming to Starry Sky, I found that I am more suitable to be a producer than a director, so I just developed in this direction."

"Who says being a producer means you can't be a director? The two are not mutually exclusive. Aren't there many people in our circle who are both producers and directors?"

Guo Fan scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Isn't it that I am not good enough and I am embarrassing the company?"

"Don't have that thought. I think your level is good enough and you can handle it on your own."

"That's because there are no good books."

"Ha, you're waiting for me here? For a long time, I thought you really didn't want to be a director. It turns out you just want to get a good script from me."

Guo Fan was a big man, and his face turned slightly red when he heard what Sun Yi said.

It is true that he really wants to be a producer, but he has not given up on the idea of ​​being a director. The reason he has never mentioned it is that he has not found a good script.

Sun Yi rubbed his chin and thought for a moment.

At present, the development of Star Sky is more diversified, and his own time is becoming more and more tight. In the past, he could make three movies a year, but now, he can only make two a year, which means he has plenty of time.

The company's people should be further trained.

Thinking of this, Sun Yi also made a decision.

"Old Guo, you know I have been planning a space science fiction trilogy."

"Yeah. I know."

"This Gravity is a beginning. It also has a sister film, which is a sequel. I want to give it to you now. Are you interested?"

Hearing Sun Yi say this, Guo Fan's eyes lit up and he rubbed his hands excitedly. Although he didn't answer, his expression was enough to explain everything.

"Its sequel is a story about Mars."

On April 4, Sun Yi brought the "New World" crew to Hong Kong Island again.

The purpose is to attend the 30th Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony to be held tomorrow night.

Among them, the nominated Zhang Songwen, Zhang Yi and Ding Yongdai all accompanied them.

Liu Yifei did not come as she was preparing for the reshoots of "Gravity".

"Director, I heard that our company is going to shoot a sequel to Gravity right away?"

"Oh, you're well-informed."

"Ha, that's right. After all, I am also a veteran employee of the company."

Zhang Yi bared his teeth and didn't consider himself an outsider at all.

"I wonder if the lead actor has been decided?"

"Why, do you have any ideas?" Sun Yi joked with a smile.

"I've been free for a while now. I've only been working since the filming of 'Chinese Partners' was finished at the end of last year, and I made a cameo appearance in 'Gravity' a few days ago. Since then, I haven't had any other work."

"Brother Song Wen has a drama assignment, and I have nothing to do, so I was thinking about whether I could make some more contribution to the company."

Zhang Yi said this with a flattering look on his face.

Indeed, Zhang Yi hasn't had any projects arranged for a while, and his and Zhang Songwen's current status in the circle is a bit awkward. They just stepped into the ranks of first-line male actors last year with the movie "New World". If there are no good works coming out for a long time, their status will quickly fall.

The entertainment industry is like this, it all about competition, like rowing against the current, if you don’t move forward you will fall behind.

"Okay, okay, stop guessing. You're the lead actor in this sequel to Gravity."

"Really?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I go to so much trouble to get you to make a cameo appearance in Gravity? Because you're handsome?"

"That's possible."

"piss off!"
