Chapter 433 Drama
The theme song written by Ning Cheng for "The Legend of Wukong" is actually "Wukong" by a singer named Dai Quan in Ning Sheng's last life. The inspiration for this song comes from the "Wukong Spirit" in Dai Quan's heart. Change, optimism and persistence.It has been 30 years since he started learning music at the age of five until he wrote this song.After experiencing being deceived, denied, and denied by others, I feel that Monkey King has to go through many battles, go to war, and fight every time to be strong, so I combine opera and pop music to make it sound with the voice of the times. show up.

The whole piece of "Wukong" is properly integrated with Chinese elements, and the arrangement style is very similar to Zhou Tianwang's Chinese style, with piano, drum set, flute and erhu, combining opera and pop music.Coupled with the magnificent singing, it presents a different inner world of Wukong, and has aroused the resonance of countless people.There is a feeling of helplessness in the ethereal song, which is actually loneliness, just like Wukong, the greater the ability, the greater the sense of emptiness.

Of course, if you want to perform this song well, you need a good singer, preferably someone who has read The Legend of Wukong, has enough understanding of this movie or novel, and is moved enough, and the effect of the interpretation will be final.

The next day, after Ning Sheng gave the song to Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng hesitated after reading it for a while before saying, "You have integrated opera into popular singing, but our company doesn't seem to sing opera back. You can't learn this kind of singing, right?"

Ning Cheng shrugged and said, "This is the company's business. My song has already been written. You just need to find a suitable singer. Okay, I'm going to record my own album. Don't forget to write the song The copyright fee of 100 million was transferred to my account."

Mr. Zheng looked at Pi Lai's Ning Sheng, waved his hands helplessly and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and get out, if all the employees in the company are like you, I won't hang myself!"

Ning Sheng hummed his own ditty and went to the recording studio to record his album, while Mr. Zheng looked at the lyrics and music on the table, thinking about how to find the right singer.

Although the opera singing part in the song is not long, everyone can see that the most essential part of this song, the most exciting part is a few lines of opera singing. It is a pity that there is not a single artist under Huijie Records I have experience in opera, and I don't even have a fan, and the film company over there is urgent, in order to make a name for this theme song, let everyone see the strength of Huijie Records, and prepare for the future. To lay the groundwork for more cooperation, Mr. Zheng simply got anxious and had a brief discussion with several managers in a small conference room.

Then, in the afternoon, Ning Sheng was rigidly assigned another task by Mr. Zheng, which was to participate in the afternoon singer selection as an interviewer.

It turned out that in order to select the singer of the song "Wu Kong", Mr. Zheng sent invitations directly to several major music academies in Kyoto, inviting students from their schools who have studied opera or who understand opera singing to participate in the selection. Directly sign a three-year rookie contract.

To tell the truth, most of the students of the conservatory of music, except for those who play musical instruments and those whose voice is really not good enough and are waiting to go home to become teachers, most of them are still looking forward to the career of singers and stars.

Of course, although there are many record companies in the country, there are very few music colleges that can get contracts as soon as they graduate, and those who can get contracts are basically the top few of the colleges and universities, or talented people. You can write your own songs, or you have outstanding looks and potential as an idol star, or you have a unique voice that is favored by record companies, except of course some people with personal relationships.

Even so, [-]% to [-]% of the people born are still struggling to find various opportunities to become famous. They hang out singing in various bars, go to various private banquets to pick up jobs, or participate in various talent shows, interview various For record companies, some people have been participating in auditions non-stop since their freshman year, but no one cares about them until they graduate from their senior year.

Therefore, many people cherish the opportunity to select singers from such a big company as Huijie Records. Of course, although Huijie Records notified the Conservatory of Music that they had specific requirements, when the news spread, the people who came to interview for the selection No matter so much, just like what many old fried dough sticks said when teaching interview skills to new graduates, no matter what the interviewer asks you, such as what work experience, whether you can endure hardship, etc., you should first agree, and then After going to work, just learn slowly.

Of course, this is a folk remedy, which is not applicable in many cases, but for the students participating in the selection, opera singing will not be all right, they can learn it now on the way to Huijie Records, for those who are eager to get this contract For the students, everyone has learned singing skills for many years. Unless you really want to go on stage to sing, otherwise it should not be a big problem to simply sing a few lines in opera singing.

Li Gang is not a student of the music school, but the small restaurant where he works part-time is often patronized by students of the music school. On this day, he finished the most tiring lunch time at noon, but he didn't bother to sit down and eat, but directly greeted the boss , and hurried out.

Because when he was serving food to two students at noon, he heard the conversation between the two of them. Huijie Records wanted to select a singer, and as long as they were selected, they could sign a three-year rookie contract.

Li Gang is not only a part-time employee of a small restaurant, he is also a singer who performs roadside performances on the side of the Royal Plaza every night.

Speaking of which, he is different from other wandering singers. Many wandering singers come out to sing because they love the profession of singers. In fact, many people don't know much about music, but Li Gang is a real Graduated from professional colleges.

It can be said that Li Gang was a "child from other people's family" in the mouth of a neighbor when he was in school. Not only did he have excellent academic performance, but he was also versatile. He not only had good calligraphy and painting skills, but also liked music. It is the opposite wall, the most satisfied and proud gifted child in the eyes of parents.

However, perhaps it was because his student days were too smooth. When he was admitted to Huaxia University as the number one student in the national college entrance examination, his parents died in a car accident on the way to send him to school, and he himself lay in the hospital for a year before being discharged.

After being discharged from the hospital, Li Gang lost his usual smile and cheerfulness. He gave up the opportunity to go to Huaxia University, and was admitted to a local Huangmei Opera school. Because his parents liked to listen to Huangmei Opera the most, he spent two years studying it for four years. Then I entered a second-rate music academy in Kyoto to learn systematic pop music.

Although today's Huaxia is much better than Ning Sheng's last life due to the strong support of the state and the love of some nobles and traditional people, it is still irreversibly declining.

Li Gang remembers that when he won a trophy in a middle school opera performance competition for the first time, his parents held the trophy and sighed, "Our traditional operas are now liked by the elderly, and young people are less and less listened to. Really. It's a pity, why can't young people hear the beauty of opera? Maybe opera is too difficult or too complicated. After all, the times are different. If someone can make our opera as popular as pop music, then That would be great haha—"

Li Gang didn't know how to make operas more enjoyable, so he first learned Huangmei opera, and while learning about other operas, he also learned pop music. He wanted to find a good way, but in the past few years, he couldn't write dozens of The first song, which mainly focuses on opera, was rejected by the record company.

So he stood on the street and performed his own songs. Some people laughed, some watched, some took pictures, some recorded videos, but few people listened carefully, let alone applauded.

Now that he is over [-] this year, he has traveled all over the country and almost every record company. He understands that the best platform to make opera popular again is the record company, not the old stage. The encounter made him understand that the dream is beautiful, but the reality is more cruel.

He is holding a guitar, carrying an erhu on his back, and a flute and a hole flute on his waist.He has been in Kyoto for nearly three years, and he can be regarded as an old acquaintance among street singers. The cruelty of the real society made him understand one thing. If he wants to continue to study the combination of his opera and pop music, the first thing to do is to enter a Record companies, with a stable environment, have better opportunities with professional equipment and personnel.

Li Gang's current goal is very clear, first to enter a record company, and then continue to study his dream while working steadily, hoping that one day he can make a song that combines pop music and opera, which young people like to listen to .At that time, the parents in the sky will be very happy too!

Li Gang came to the entrance of Huijie Records, looked at the long queue, and quickly stood at the end of the queue. Originally, he was worried that the security at the gate would stop him because of his age and appearance. No, the security didn't care about it at all. As long as you don't come to make trouble and line up obediently, no one will let you in.

Although almost all the students in the queue were students with beards who were more mature than Li Gang.

Ning Cheng was sitting in a room, surrounded by two vocal teachers from the same company, who were sent by Mr. Zheng to interview with Ning Cheng.

The students came in one by one. There should have been a self-introduction or something, but after three interviews, Ning Sheng checked the time and asked someone to notify the students outside. Don't say self-introduction when you come in, just sing a song that you are good at. Opera or sing a piece of popular music with opera arias and then you can.

In this way, the speed of the interview was naturally very fast, but none of them passed the interview.Although sometimes the two people around Ning Cheng think it's okay, but it's useless if Ning Cheng doesn't nod, because Mr. Zheng said that this interview, Ning Cheng has the final say, and the other two are just providing advice for Ning Cheng.

But Ning Cheng secretly slandered in his heart, thinking that Mr. Zheng sent two people to supervise him, so that he would not be serious in doing things, or be perfunctory.

Even though Ning Sheng didn't like the interviewer's job very much, especially when he had to reject young people with hopeful eyes, Mr. Zheng was right. He was one of the company's directors, but he didn't care about the company's business all the year round. Now He was about to retreat completely behind the scenes, and if he didn't even care about this, it would be unreasonable.

The interviewers come in one after another, and leave from another door within five minutes at most. Some go out sad, some are numb, some are calm and looking forward to the next opportunity, and some are excited. Because they saw the big star Ning Sheng!
Although Ning Sheng hasn't made any big moves in China for a long time, Ning Sheng's achievements in music have long been the object of worship of countless young people.

Li Gang was the last interviewer who came in before six o'clock. The others have been informed by Ning Cheng to come back tomorrow. Today he will leave work after interviewing this one. Emma is still waiting at home. If he returns late, he will have to ask again Mom scolded me.

One of the vocal music teachers beside Ning Cheng got up to pack his things, and the other put on his coat, waiting for Ning Cheng to fool the last student over before he could leave work.

Yes, in the eyes of these two vocal teachers, Ning Cheng is fooling these students. In fact, the two of them found a few people with good voice and skills among the interviewees, but Ning Cheng mercilessly rejected them all. Rejected, and the reason Ning Sheng gave was only one reason: "It's not suitable!"

"Then what kind is suitable?" the two asked.

Ning Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know either!" Because he couldn't describe it in words.

So, the two vocal music teachers who came to help have decided to tell Mr. Zheng about tomorrow's interview that they don't need to come here at all, it's completely useless.

When Li Gang came in, he saw the three interviewing teachers looking like they were about to leave work, and his heart skipped a beat.

Ning Sheng said, "You can sing a piece of opera in the way of pop music, or other passages that show your own opera singing, just a long paragraph."

Ning Sheng looked at the clock on the wall absent-mindedly, thinking about what gift he should buy for Emma when he went back. In order to keep Emma in the happiest state every day, Ning Sheng really tried his best. Movies and songwriting are much harder.

Li Gang swallowed nervously. When he heard the news at the restaurant, he never heard that he was going to sing an opera, but this request was the most suitable for him. It was a bit like he found out that the topic was done by himself during the exam. The same, a little surprised, a little nervous, and then he coughed lightly and said, "Is it okay for me to sing a song I wrote?"

Ning Cheng looked up at him and said, "Yes, as long as it's opera singing!"

The other two vocal music teachers were getting a little impatient. Li Gang took a deep breath, brewing his emotions. A song based on the opera "Golden Beach" was like an ancient Qin opera. In front of Ning Sheng!
The two vocal music teachers frowned, what was this singing about, but Ning Cheng's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally looked at Li Gang in front of him, as if he was looking at a piece of treasure!
