Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

Because of Mrs. Xia's acting training class, Li Wei's time suddenly woke up frequently.After all, I am now a regular guest of "Ghost Story Library", and at the same time, ATV will also arrange for Li Wei to appear on the program to promote it from time to time.Because the digital album "Asian Avenue of Stars Season [-]" jointly released by ATV and Asia Star has been released on channels such as Dog Music, Candy Music, Apple Music and Google Play, and the effect is very good whether it is trial listening or downloading.Li Wei's compilation album was the most auditioned and downloaded among the contestants in the first season. Unfortunately, it will take three months for these fees to start to be settled, so Li Wei's management team can only watch it.

Under Mrs. Xia's tutelage, Li Wei also felt that her acting skills had improved a lot, especially in costume dramas.It has to be said that Mrs. Xia does have the inheritance of the "Old Qian" family, and the ancient way of doing things under her command does not appear to be artificial at all.

After about a week of class with Mrs. Xia, Mrs. Xia suddenly said: "I have a friend who will come over next week, and she wants to meet you. Your basic skills are already in good shape, but you want to act well." You still have a lot of details to learn, ancient costume student. And she happened to be teaching this, but she only came to my place for three days, let's see how much you can learn!"

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Xia didn't say anything, but wrote one scene after another on white paper, and asked Li Wei to perform.Mrs. Xia was still surprised by Li Wei's learning ability. First of all, Mrs. Xia didn't think it was so great to have a Ph. D. in acting from an overseas school. How many people graduated from famous drama schools?Secondly, the so-called Hollywood or Broadway experience, Mrs. Xia just looked at it.If you have been in Hollywood and Broadway for more than ten years, then Mrs. Xia may look at you highly. This kind of Broadway matinee actors, Mrs. Xia is not uncommon.However, due to Liu Wei's recommendation, Mrs. Xia decided to give Li Wei a little advice.

However, to Granny Xia's surprise, Li Wei's ability to accept was too strong. After only one week of training, Li Wei had already reached the passing standard in Granny Xia's heart.Because of this, Mrs. Xia felt that she would make some serious news to see how far this child could go.After sending Li Wei away, Mrs. Xia returned to her room and called her friend.

When Li Wei returned to the company, Su Li reminded: "Yaxing Production has urged you several times, you have to hurry up and enter the studio."

Li Wei nodded to show that he understood, and then took out the recently saved sheet music in his office.He counted, and there were about fifteen songs, enough to support a standard album.

In the cassette tape era, the capacity of a standard album was about 10 to 12 songs; while in the CD era, the capacity of a standard album was generally about 10 songs, but some singers would release about 15 songs.The style of the album is basically three genres of folk, folk-rock and rock, basically in line with Li Wei's performance in "Asian Avenue of Stars".Now that Yaxing Production has been urged, Li Wei rushed to Yaxing Production with his score.

This time, Yaxing Productions is cooperating with Urban Records, a sub-brand of Universal Music, so the meeting place announced by Yaxing Productions is also the Global Building, the headquarters of Universal Music.In addition to the main brand of Universal Music, Universal Music also has a series of sub-brands such as Virgin Records, City Records, EMI Records, Decca Records and Deutsche Grammophon.

As a music enthusiast, Li Wei admires Deutsche Gramophone and Decca Records under Universal Music. Deutsche Gramophone is the only music company that still insists on releasing vinyl records. At the same time, Deutsche Gramophone insists on only cooperating with classical orchestras, so its Records are famous for their high price and high quality; the strength of Decca Records lies in their selections, and the "Fortune Series" and "Red Line Series" launched by Decca Records are regarded as essential and entry-level models for music enthusiasts.When Li Wei came here, he felt like entering a temple of music.

Li Wei came to the recording studio as agreed.Like the habit of all recording studios, Universal Music's recording studio will also remake the album covers it has recorded into photos and ask the singers to sign them on the wall.Li Wei took a glance and found that the oldest album was recorded 80 years ago, and the latest album is the debut album "Jianjie" by the male vocal group Lin Zijun and Lin Zijie.

In addition to Aji, the music summary produced by Yaxing, there are two other people in the recording studio.After Aji's introduction, the two are the sound engineer and the producer sent by Metro Records.Since this record is going to be called Metropolitan Records, Metropolitan Records still has to ensure the quality of the record.Li Wei gave his score to Aji and the producer. After Aji and the producer read it separately, the producer said in surprise: "I heard from Aji that all your songs in the show are original. At first I thought you There is a team of Gunners, but after reading your works, I realized that another talented singer has been born in the music world. My suggestion to you is that the ordinary disc should still put twelve songs, which is the standard practice for standard albums .The remaining three songs will be put into the first-press limited edition A, first-run limited edition B and IDOLSHOP in the form of BonusTrack."

Li Wei actually has no objection to this approach, because it is basically the practice of releasing films by idol singers and idol groups.For die-hard fans, they must buy all four discs, so one person has contributed to the sales of four records.There used to be a fan store on Li Wei's official website, but now there are not many official merchandise belonging to Li Wei.Li Wei decided to sell the limited edition of IDOLSHOP in his official fan shop, in order to increase the number of registrations for his official website.

Because Li Wei himself knows music production, and Li Wei's voice is clean and intonation, the recording of Li Wei's album went very smoothly.

The sound engineer sighed: "Li Wei, your voice is too clean, I don't need to fix anything in the later stage. Especially your breathing and throat sounds are perfectly controlled, if it weren't for your age, I would have I think some big singer came to my collection. And your intonation, tsk tsk! I’m not afraid of offending people, the current idol singers have fallen to the point where I have to adjust the pitch one by one, it’s killing me !"

A week later, when Li Wei went to Mrs. Xia's room, she saw another old lady who was quite temperament drinking tea with Mrs. Xia.Because he didn't know the name, Li Wei had no choice but to bow to the old lady after saluting to the old lady.

The old lady smiled and said, "I'm not ready for you to bow yet!" Then she looked at the old lady Xia and said, "This is the student you've been training|teaching recently? Not bad, this calmness and courtesy, Every move has the style of your big disciple back then. Well, it’s my fault when it comes to your sadness. I’ll take over the job of teaching him.”

Mrs. Xia gave the old lady a blank look. The old lady turned around and said to Li Wei, "My name is Hu Die. I have sung and acted. I heard from Xia Meng that you have some background in opera? That's good, no." The basics of opera are really hard to teach. We pay attention to "singing, reading, and fighting" in opera, and the same is true in film and television dramas. To sing is to sing. You said there are no songs in film and television dramas? Think about musicals , There are also some film and television dramas that require characters to sing such a passage, isn't this "singing"? Read, that is to read the dialogue. Whether it is a dialogue or a monologue, it counts here. I heard that your lines are good. Let me take a look. Do it, it’s your movements and expressions. Xia Meng should have given you a lot of basic things, and after mastering them, there will be no difficulty. Fighting, it’s stunts, action scenes. Don’t think that you don’t need to play Xiaosheng 'Fighted', if you are asked to perform a scene of chasing the heroine on the road, and you end up running like a jerk, what will you do with your idol temperament?"

Hearing Mrs. Hu's nagging, Li Wei felt like laughing.Since Mrs. Hu wanted to try her lines skills, Li Wei thought about it and acted out the scene where she was in the prince's bedroom in Liu Wei's "The Princess Is Leaving the Palace".Mrs. Hu took a look, and then at Mrs. Xia.Although Mrs. Xia looked like an old god, she couldn't sing the shocked expression in the corner of her eyes.The speed of this kid's progress is too fast, right?

And Mrs. Hu applauded: "Not bad! Not bad! Based on your performance just now, whether it's a national drama or an imperial art, I can recommend you to go in. But your boy's ambition is not in drama, and I won't delay you Yes. I heard that your future acting career will mainly focus on being a niche, so I will teach you how to be a niche."

Speaking of which, Mrs. Hu took Li Wei to another relatively large room. There were some musical instruments in the room, such as flute and guqin, as well as props such as fans and ancient books.

"Xia Meng taught you how to stand and how to sit, and I will teach you how to walk!"

Don't look at the old lady Hu who always has a smiling and kind appearance, but once she sits behind the props or picks up the props, her aura changes immediately.Although Mrs. Hu still looks like an old lady in front of Li Wei, her aura always shows that she is an ancient elegant scholar.

Li Wei knows that many ancient costume dramas are being shoddy, and many ancient niche roles are performed according to the habits of modern people.Can you imagine, in the ancient times when so much etiquette was paid attention to, an educated young man would run on the street shaking his arms and shouting girls' names?Even in brothels, only traffickers and pawns can be so vulgar.Scholars pay attention to a poetic life, and going to brothels is not just for sex, but to spend a beautiful spiritual world with beautiful women under delicious food and wine.Of course, there is a bang bang bang bang.Are those scholars who ran away really scholars and not gangsters?Are those scholars who flirt with female characters at every turn really scholars and not prostitutes|thieves?

Hu Die was showing Li Wei how a truly educated man in ancient times lived his life in a poetic way.

Hu Die's teaching time is very short, but it is enough for Li Wei who brings his own cheats.Li Wei can convert the performance he saw into muscle memory, and then imitate it.On the basis of imitation, improve through thinking.So in Hu Die's eyes, it was as if he saw a genius born in front of him.

After Hu Die's lecture was over, she said: "If Xia Meng hadn't discovered you first, I would have snatched you as my disciple. I have taught you everything I can teach you, and you will have to comprehend and discover it by yourself in the future." 'It's not what I'm good at, but I think Xia Meng will help you find a suitable teacher. In the end, although your teacher Xia pretends not to like you, every progress you make makes her happy. Spend more time with your teacher, she is also a hard-working person. Also, when you have time to play in Mingzhu City in the future, remember to come to me, don't think I'm old!"

Regarding the last sentence of Mrs. Hu, Li Wei could only smile wryly.

The author has something to say: about the character of the literati.

In ancient times, there was Boyi Shuqi who did not eat Zhou millet; in modern times, there was Zhu Ziqing who refused to receive American flour.

As for why so many literati have lost their spines now?Quite worth thinking about.
