Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

Zheng Tao specially came to the scene to supervise during the rehearsal on Friday. Originally, he left it to the assistant director to take care of it, but after a major live broadcast accident last week, Zheng Tao felt that it would be better for him to take the initiative.Since there are only 20 players left, the first live broadcast on Saturday only has a two-hour period.For directors, if the time is short, the pressure is less, because there is no need to think about how to fill up the garbage time.

At the same time, after these three weeks of live broadcast and the previous month-long warm-up, the top [-] players basically have their own fan groups.Whether on Twitter, Facebook or Haijiao community, "Asian Avenue of Stars" is a super hot topic, even Haijiao community had to temporarily open a sub-board of "Asian Avenue of Stars" in the gossip version for fans to discuss, Otherwise, the entire gossip board will be overwhelmed by related topics.

With a good hand in his hand, Zheng Tao didn't worry about ratings at all.Because of "Asian Avenue of Stars", ATV not only made a good comeback in the weekend prime time, but also increased the ratings of the entire TV network.Because of this, ATV does not allow any mistakes to happen on the "Asian Avenue of Stars".At the same time, the popularity of "Asian Avenue of Stars" has also inspired other production companies. In the coming year, various talent show variety shows will fill the prime time of major TV networks.

Li Wei didn't play too many tricks in this week's live broadcast competition. The song he submitted for the first round of live competition was "Friends", which fit the theme of "friendship" very well; while the song submitted for the second round of PK competition It's still "Friends", but it's another song that is completely unnecessary, and it also fits the theme of "song of the same name".

However, the music director was a little dissatisfied with "Friends" sung by Li Wei in the first round of the live broadcast. It wasn't that the song was bad, but that the song was too mature.Li Wei's original songs in the past have some flaws, but this kind of flaw just fits his age.Young people, if they are too tactful, it will be boring.But this song "Friends" is a very mature commercial song, the kind of song that can be arranged for a singer to sing and put in the album after a little listening.

Aji felt that Li Wei's creation of such songs was a waste of his talent and talent. In Aji's opinion, Li Wei didn't just play WorldMusic like "All Things Lives" every day, but also the folk rock when he just signed up?

"Mr. Aji, it's not that I don't want to make another breakthrough. It's just that the result of being so high and low is too hurtful."

Li Wei is still struggling with the pending ending after he sang "I" last week.Although "I" is not a very artistic song, the lyrics and artistic conception of "I" are first-class.But this kind of lyrics about "self", "ideal and reality" was not loved by the audience, and finally led to entering the PK competition.

"At this stage, I think stability is the key. But if I can't pass the first round, isn't my song in the second round pretty rock? In order to advance, I just need to make some sacrifices."

Hearing what Li Wei said, Aji, who knew some inside information, didn't know what to say.I had no choice but to help Li Wei record the song silently, and then finished mixing.Apart from the fact that the songs sung this time tend to be conservative, Li Wei also chooses conservative clothes.You must know that although Li Wei took the avant-garde route in the last round, his previous makeup was either street style or neutral rock style. In short, it was not the style that ordinary people would like after seeing it.But in today's concert, Li Wei's clothes are white T-shirt with light blue jeans, and a pair of white sneakers.The hair is also neat and short, and the makeup on the face is clean and nude.When such a simple and plain Li Wei stood on the stage for rehearsal, the director team was still a little uncomfortable.

"Is Li Wei planning to participate in tomorrow's live broadcast like this? His smoky makeup and sunburned makeup attracted a lot of attention last week. Why did he suddenly return to basics this week? Also, why is his song suddenly so good?" Sophisticated and tactful?" Zheng Tao asked his assistant director, "If he doesn't go out of his way, how can there be a topic? You can ask his opinion again, can you change it?"

"I asked him a long time ago, and he said that stability is the key now." The assistant director also replied rather helplessly, "The game last week probably scared him. Even songs like Huang Azhe can get No. [-] on the popularity list." One, so many contestants think that the audience loves this traditional and mature pop style. Not only Li Wei, but also the two singers, Chen Xuan and Du Ansheng, have changed their style."

The assistant director is very clear that last week's own goal has changed the mentality of the contestants, don't look at the media's bragging about Huang Azhe like the savior of the music world.But people in the industry still see very clearly that Huang Azhe lacks appearance as an idol singer, and lacks ability to be a capable singer.Now Huang Azhe's position is strongly recommended by someone behind the scenes. Once the people behind the scenes retreat, Huang Azhe will definitely disappear like Liu Xing.Some people even suspect that Huang Azhe can't even become a "one-round singer" (referring to the kind of singer who released a single and then disappeared on all variety shows), because Huang Azhe has not lost his tune once or twice in the live broadcast.Fortunately, he didn't fall into the PK competition, otherwise the judges would definitely be the first to send him out.However, these comments are also a minority. After all, Huang Azhe's philosophy is still quite powerful, and the degree of toughness is terrifying.

After listening to the assistant director's explanation, Zheng Tao couldn't say much, because it was his oolong that led to the current ending.The rehearsal still went very smoothly. After all, everyone has been working together for so long, and there is still a tacit understanding.After two rounds of rehearsals, the director team announced their disbandment after finding no major problems, so the players from all walks of life took the bus back to the hotel to rest.After Paul's incident, Li Wei paid a little attention to Huang Azhe.However, Huang Azhe has been deeply involved in the scandal he released recently, and he has become more honest for a while.Among the remaining contestants, there are several that Li Wei admires very much, and I have a lot of music topics to chat with them.

And Friday happened to be Gina's birthday in the twin flower group, so everyone proposed to celebrate Gina's birthday in the restaurant of the hotel.After the producer heard about this incident, he agreed to the request and asked the hotel to set up a buffet area in the restaurant for the contestants to use, and at the same time sent a big super creamy cake.In addition to thick cream flowers, there are various fresh fruits on the cake, and in order to take care of the girls, rose petals are sprinkled on the cake.

The advantage of the buffet is that people who don't know each other don't have to socialize by force, and people who know each other can form a small circle to chat.Li Wei and Asuka Band have the most in common. After all, Li Wei plays folk rock, while Asuka Band plays pop rock, both of which are more mainstream rock styles.When Li Wei and the Birds were chatting about rock and roll, Du Ansheng also joined in.Although Du Ansheng is singing jazz now, she was playing psychedelic rock when she was a student.Because Du Ansheng came over, Chen Xuan also came over to join the conversation.Naturally, Li Wei would not let his younger brother Liu Chang be left out in the cold, and let him join in.Everyone was chatting in the sofa area of ​​the buffet area with champagne or juice.When it is on the rise, everyone will use the table as a drum and try to play a rhythm.

Because everyone chatted quite emotionally, so after the birthday dinner, I went to the coffee shop to sit for a while.The main reason for choosing a coffee shop is that Liu Chang is still underage, and Chen Xuan said that she does not drink any alcoholic beverages, so everyone chose coffee.

When everyone was chatting, I didn’t know how to talk about coffee, and Li Wei, who had worked in an American coffee shop, introduced: “Actually, the coffee sold in the coffee shop is based on espresso, without adding any The thing is Espresso. Adding a part of milk foam is Macchiato; adding three parts of water to dilute it is Americano; adding two parts of milk is White Coffee; adding a part of milk foam to White Coffee is Latte; The cream is ConPanna... Others such as CafeBreve, Cappuccino, ViennaCoffee are prepared in similar ways."

"After what you said, the attraction of coffee to me suddenly lost more than half." Du Ansheng complained, "I thought that these coffees had special production methods or origins, but I didn't expect that it was just the addition and deletion of several ingredients. It's just a proportional adjustment."

"Isn't it the same with pop music?" Chen Xuan suddenly took up the topic, "Pop music is so boring now. You can guess the melody and beat after listening to a piece. Li Wei, your previous songs are very good. Interesting, but this song is too conservative! Your previous songs are like black coffee, you can tell whether it’s from Indonesia, Jamaica, Colombia, or Brazil when you drink it. But today’s song is really like playing with brewed coffee , more cream, less frothed milk, and some whiskey or something like that."

Li Wei shrugged and said: "You can drink the Blue Mountain coffee from Jamaica, or the Mandheling coffee from Indonesia, but the audience can't drink it! Even if you give him the top Blue Mountain coffee, he probably thinks it's too sour So, I had to make some brewed coffee for them to drink. You see, Starbucks business is all over the world, which shows how successful brewed coffee is!"

Li Wei and Chen Xuan fought against each other, but neither could convince the other.A group of people chatted in the coffee shop until eleven o'clock, because there will be a live broadcast tomorrow, so everyone decided to leave.After returning to the room, Liu Chang suddenly asked: "Brother Li, do you really have to cater to the audience's taste in making music? Can't I make my own favorite music?"

"If you want to make money, you have to bow to your audience. If you just want to make a name for yourself, then you can create according to your heart. However, I don't really care about commercial music. Compared with art music, commercial Music is the real dance in shackles. It must meet the needs of commercial consumption and not be too kitsch. This scale is difficult to grasp.” Li Wei said with a smile, “Okay, we haven’t left this competition yet. Go out, don't worry about the future."

After listening to Li Wei's words, Liu Chang dubiously went to the bathroom to take a shower.And Li Wei lay on the sofa and read a book for a while. After Liu Chang finished cleaning, Li Wei also went to take a shower, and then got ready to sleep.Lying on the bed, when Li Wei was about to write something in his diary, he didn't know what to write.So he sighed and put the diary back into his close-fitting bag.

Since Gina's birthday was celebrated on Friday, everyone was somewhat tired when they woke up on Saturday.Therefore, on the way to the scene, the bus was full of sleep.Li Wei is also wearing headphones, lowering his hat, and wearing a humidifying sleep mask, and he is also catching up on sleep.After driving for almost an hour, the bus finally arrived at the recording studio.
