Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

What is the most lively thing in Donghai City recently?Then Asia Television Network's "Asian Avenue of Stars" can definitely be selected as the top three.Since Donghai City is the home of this competition, and Donghai City is the most important media metropolis in the whole country and even in Asia, ATV spent a lot of money to promote "Asian Avenue of Stars".

There are posters and promotional videos of the event at every bus station and subway station; relevant promotional videos are also scrolling on the advertising screens of taxi companies, bus companies and subway companies.And Li Wei, who just won the preliminary championship in the East China Sea Division, is naturally the focus of publicity. After all, he has good looks, and the song "Little Love Song" he sang in the preliminary competition is indeed a very good song.

Of course, in the headquarters of the Asian Television Network, various promotional posters and videos were inserted and broadcast without gaps, even Shen Wu who came to record the program was shocked.I remember that my manager, Fan Zhi, mentioned that "Asian Avenue of Stars" would be this year's annual program if nothing else happened, and she seemed to be very optimistic about one of the contestants named Li Wei.Shen Wu couldn't help but nodded after listening to Li Wei's "Little Love Song" in front of the LED screen.

Shen Wu still has an impression of this person named Li Wei.After all, everyone could see Chen Wende's efforts to create AKids at that time. Even Shen Wu thought that AKids would be the third-generation flag-carrying combination after his APEX and Storm.Unexpectedly, at the moment of his debut, this kid would have a falling out with the office.

Although APEX is the senior of AKids, Shen Wu is the youngest in APEX.When APEX debuted back then, Shen Wu was only a sixth grader.So Shen Wu has a good relationship with many trainees in the firm, but after his agency contract was transferred to Smart Dream, his relationship with the trainees faded away.

Just as Shen Wu was enjoying Li Wei's performance of "Little Love Song", Shen Wu's program producer on ATV had already walked over.Seeing Shen Wu's pensive look, he smiled and said, "You never forget to care about your juniors. I heard from the people who produced Yaxing that if there is no accident, he will basically be the finalist. seed players."

"He is no longer our junior." Shen Wu waved his hand and said, "Oh, it's really hard to say what happened back then. ——Producer Sun, are the themes we are going to record today ready? Please come on when the show comes. you."

Producer Sun patted Shen Wu on the shoulder with a smile, and explained to Shen Wu the key points of today's program recording, while leading Shen Wu towards the recording studio.Although Producer Sun seemed to have just mentioned something inadvertently, he quickly tried out the attitude of Smart & Associates.It seems that this Li Wei is really a thorn in the heart of Smart's office. The farther he goes, the more unhappy Smart is.

But Producer Sun doesn't care about the favor of Smart's firm. When I wanted to cooperate with Smart, how did they treat me?Fortunately, Ms. Fan Zhi formed another Smart Dream within Smart, so that she has the opportunity to cooperate with national sky groups like APEX.Although Producer Sun is not afraid of Smart's office, he is also curious about how Smart will use to attack Li Wei.

At this time, Li Wei was chatting with the production team about his stage design. Since there were only [-] contestants left in the rematch, the production team allowed the contestants to play tricks on the stage, so that the show would look better when it was broadcast later. "Can I ask for a black concert-grade piano? The brand doesn't matter, as long as it is a grand-style concert-grade piano." Li Wei said.

"Concert-grade piano?" The music director thought for a while, "There is a Xinghe brand grand grand piano in the stage, which I usually use. However, it is a bit troublesome to have to re-tune the strings after transporting it. You make me think Think, see if there is any solution? ——Cui Xueli, you can ask the singers to see how many of them need musical instruments, especially pianos.”

Hearing the music director's inquiry, Cui Xueli made a special investigation.Don't ask, don't know, there are still three or four contestants who expressed their wish to play and sing on the piano.Since there were so many players in need, the music director ordered his staff to move the Xinghe brand piano from the headquarters.The tuner came over to re-tune the strings, and Li Wei and others thought that there was no problem after they tried playing.Because Li Wei was No.1 in the preliminary round, he was naturally the first to rehearse with the band.

The director looked at the thick staff handed over by Li Wei, flipped through it for a while, and said with a smile: "You are really a troublemaker! Not only do you need to play a first-class piano, but you also need a small orchestra to accompany you. I'll ask you first, and try to gather as many people as possible for you. But you may not be able to be the first rehearsal, and you need to wait until the last."

"No problem." Li Wei nodded in agreement, "If you're not in the best condition, it's better not to sing."

"That's a good attitude!" The music director nodded, "Cui Xueli, Li Wei has to wait for a rehearsal, please help him postpone it."

After Li Wei greeted the director and the band teacher, he temporarily went to the waiting area to wait.However, Li Wei in the waiting area is not completely free to do, because he needs to figure out the inner emotion of this song.Unlike "Little Love Song", this is a song about friendship.Because this song was written by Wu Qingfeng to Zhang Xuan, and their relationship cannot be simply defined by friendship, love or family affection, perhaps it belongs to the fourth relationship.

Before becoming famous, Zhang Xuan was a folk singer who was running around and only hoped that someone could hear her voice.On the backstage of a certain music festival, she told her friend Wu Qingfeng that she had a very bad summer and hoped that Wu Qingfeng could give her another summer.Thus, "Incomparable Beauty" was born.Compared with "Little Love Song", the folk-rock style of "Incomparable Beauty" is more mature, and at the same time, a large number of orchestral instruments are incorporated into the arrangement, making the song walk ahead of pop and classical.

Because it took a lot of time to borrow orchestral instruments, Li Wei was almost the last one to come to the rehearsal.But Li Wei's rehearsal surprised the whole scene, and several interns who came to trainees were a little jealous.

After the rehearsal, the music director specially called Li Wei over, "Starting from this song, I found that I have nothing to teach you. But I want to give you a word, whether it is writing or singing, Skills are secondary, emotions are the most important. Which melody can touch your heart the most? Then this melody is the most correct one. When your emotions are right, skills, soundtrack, etc. Yes, it’s not that important. Well, kid, I still hope you can come back with a championship! Then I’ll have bragging rights.”

After listening to the music director's words, Li Wei bowed deeply.This is not something that can be taught in textbooks, but the experience of an old man who has been in the music scene for decades.This kind of thing may seem to have no scientific reason to say, but it happens to be right.

After the rehearsal, Li Wei took a taxi and went back to his room to rest.Because the rematch will be recorded in the studio tomorrow afternoon, Li Wei has to hurry up and rest.If a person is tired, the throat will be the first to have problems.Li Wei took a hot bath, and after a thorough cleansing, he went to bed with a thick moisturizing jelly mask.

Because it is already early spring, for Li Wei whose skin is slightly sensitive, if he does not take good care of it, it is easy to get a rash, and it will be a pain when he puts on stage makeup.The stage makeup is very thick, and the foundation must be very thick, otherwise the skin will definitely turn yellow when it is illuminated by the stage lights.Therefore, the base makeup of the stage makeup is pale, and then the makeup is slowly added to make the skin color of the performers suitable for the performance.

Li Wei chose a red lapel T-shirt and dark blue jeans for this performance, but her face was made into a special shape by a makeup artist.Under Li Wei's suggestion, Li Wei's skin was beaten very white, and the lipstick was also a rather strange pink, so this face looked very sick.Then Li Wei asked for smoky makeup, the eye makeup was very black, and at the same time dark reds such as deep purple and germanium red were blended in.In the end, Li Wei glued a few crystals to the corner of his right eye, and there was a feeling of tears glistening under the light.When the makeup was finished, the makeup artist was a little surprised, thinking this was painted by me?

The stage sequence was re-drawn before the performance. Li Wei was the first to draw lots as the champion of the preliminary round, and he got the 11th lottery, which is a relatively high position.Since it was already a rematch, almost no one was kicked off the stage by four shots while singing, so the recording time was a little longer.However, because Li Wei's position was at the front, Li Wei didn't have to wait long to get on stage.Because Li Wei is the champion of the preliminary competition, he has always been one of the key publicity targets of Asia Television Network. In addition, Li Wei himself has fans, so the vitamins that came this time have vaguely taken shape.

And when everyone saw Li Wei's appearance with morbid smoky makeup, many people were surprised.But when Li Wei sang "Incomparable Beauty" while playing the piano, everyone was immediately immersed in the charm of music.

After Li Wei finished singing, Cui Wei commented first again: "Your outfit today is a bit interesting! It's a bit Japanese visual kei, and you're playing folk rock. But you played on a bigger scale today, On the basis of folk rock, it combines the arrangement style of classical music, which is very interesting!"

"During the preliminaries, you described a sweet campus romance to us, and during the semi-finals, you told us about a vigorous friendship belonging to your young people... This kind of desperate relationship is really only you young people can enjoy. Come on, if it were me, I can’t sing anymore.” Deng Jingwen joked, “But the music world needs newcomers and young people like you, because you have the power to break all the rules of the current music world. I like your music, I also hope that you can use your music to conquer other people!"

Deng Jingwen's words caused the audience to applaud, and Li Wei also bowed to thank the judges and audience.

In the scoring session, Li Wei scored 385 points from the judges and 580 points from the audience. With a total of 965 points, he temporarily ranked No.1 in the semi-final standings.

Seeing Li Wei's high score, several people from Yaxing Productions said, "It seems that he is the one in our competition area. It is estimated that it will be no problem for him to enter the top five in the country. But have you heard? Smart The firm also arranged a contestant in Jinguan City. It is said that this contestant has the same style as Li Wei, taking the original route, but his music type is more pleasing, which belongs to commercial pop music. There is also a bird in the Yanjing competition area The band is also very good! Then there is a group in the South China Division called Twin Flowers, who are beautiful and can sing well. So, the finals are absolutely lively!"
