Relying on love in the entertainment industry

As the song "Forgive" sounded again, even the staff who watched the trial screening with a scrutiny attitude fell silent.On the screen, Zhan Qing held Liu Wen's real last words and burst into tears, and as the almost cruel sentence "Arrogance to move mountains and fill seas/ends in death" echoed repeatedly and gradually faded away, Liu Wen's last words It also slowly sounded in the form of a narration.

She said that she believed that Zhan Qing would become a successful person one day, because she believed that Zhan Qing would do all this for her, but it was a pity that she would never see it again.

She said don't worry, don't run around, because if he runs too far, she won't be able to find him.

The tune of "Forgiveness" sounded again, but at this time the entire arrangement and melody had changed, and even the singing voice had become a mezzo-soprano who was very close to Liu Wen's voice.

——[Love always forgives/Love always forgives]

The subtitles at the end of the story began to emerge slowly, with a little regret and a little relief, and then a very lyrical ending song, the tone of which echoed the melody of the last sentence of "Forgive".

The ending song is called "Shackles of Love".

——[Let love take away all the pain/leave only protection/let me put shackles on you/stop your steps/the road ahead is so lonely/but I want you to be happy alone...let love take away all the lost/only Leave the understanding/Let me put shackles on you/Don't get lost again/The past is boundless and hasty to leave/But I want you to remember it alone...]

The inversion of the soundtrack at the end and the continuation of the free movement are a typical highlight from a professional point of view.Compared to Fang Nan's age, his working ability impressed most of the crew.

The following discussion and the leak checking and filling of the final edited version will not be mentioned for the time being.

After the meeting adjourned, Director Xie suddenly went to find Fang Nan, saying that there was a job that he could introduce to him, and asked him if he would accept it.

Fang Nan was taken aback for a moment, then asked what kind of job it was.

Director Xie asked, "Do you know actress Hu Menghan?"

Fang Nan looked bewildered.

When Director Xie saw Fang Nan, he knew that Fang Nan was not clear, so he said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know, anyway, she is an idol star in TV dramas. In fact, it is like this. Now that she is acting in idol dramas and has become popular overnight, the company wants to I took the opportunity to help her release an album. The company she works for happens to be the main investor of "I Was" People's Entertainment. The other party listened to the episode of the movie and heard about your reputation, so they wanted to ask if you are Hu Menghan Willingness of the producer of the first album? If yes, I will make an appointment for you, and then we can talk face to face."

"I know that an actress who has never made a record and learned vocal music is no different from a layman, but she has a reputation. And she is a layman, so she dare not point fingers like an insider—"

In the end, Fang Nan smiled: "Director Xie, you don't have to do this..."...to convince him.Fang Nan consciously has no prejudice against laymen.Whether it's a third-rate amateur composer with clumsy skills or a boy and girl who can't even understand the score and can only hum songs.The best music comes from true feelings. There are advantages and disadvantages in technology, but emotions are never good or bad.As long as he is not copying others, Fang Nan is willing to listen to any original song full of slots, and is also willing to listen to any singing that is out of tune but full of emotion.

He believes that everyone's work, as long as it comes from true feelings, will inevitably have bright spots.Technical flaws cannot hide such bright spots.

It is from such feelings that he has gained countless inspirations and creative desires.

And he really needs a job to stay active at the moment. Before "I Once" is released and reacts, he needs more works in China to prove himself, hoping to let the industry and the public's understanding of him develop from quantitative change to qualitative change.

In the area of ​​artistic creation, there is no shortcut to achieve something.Regardless of plagiarism, hype, or touting, it is impossible to create a truly recognized creator.Because the moment the audience directly faces your work, all your talents and perfunctory, noble and despicable, will be presented in front of them without any concealment.

And the more you try to rely on shortcuts, the only bright spots you have will gradually dim and die.

Fang Nan said, "Since it was introduced by Director Xie, let's meet up first. Tell me the time and place, and I will arrive on time."

Xie Zhisheng appreciated Fang Nan's straightforward attitude, so he said, "I just came to ask what you mean first. If you are willing to cooperate, Wanzhong will call you for an interview."

Fang Nan said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

The next day Wanzhong really called Fang Nan, and they made an appointment to meet at Wanzhong's company headquarters.Fang Nan met Hu Menghan, her agent, and the CEO of Wanzhong.

Hu Menghan is a young girl about 20 years old. She looks pretty and has a sweet smile. She looks very pleasing.When we met, Fang Nan paid attention to her voice when he spoke, and found that her voice was a very clear girlish voice. Although it was neither sweet nor deep, it was very similar to that of a young girl of this age. Feeling youthful and gentle, my mind quickly turned several times, thinking about the style and type of songs that are suitable for the other party.

Then they start talking.

Hu Menghan called Fang Nan: "Mr. Fang, hello."

She smiled shyly and sweetly. Although her attitude was somewhat flattering, she was not overly warm, and could only be said to be very polite.

Fang Nan's first impression of her was not bad.

After sitting down, Wanzhong's CEO Yan Li briefly explained to Fang Nan the specific situation of Hu Menghan, Wanzhong's basic expectations for her album, and the contract treatment that Wanzhong can provide.

Fang Nan accepted the contract handed over by Yan Li, but did not read it immediately, but said: "There is no rush for the contract. If possible, I would like to listen to Miss Hu's singing first, to see the basic skills."

Yan Li didn't expect him to say this first, but after a surprise, he said tactfully: "About this point, Menghan was originally an actress, and she didn't learn vocal music, but her voice is pretty good..."

Fang Nan said: "Mr. Yan, don't worry, I don't want to see her professional singing skills, I just want to see her sense of pitch and emotional understanding when singing... At least how much preparation work Ms. Hu needs to do before she releases the record. I have to know what kind of song it is."

There is a reason for Fang Nan to say this.Sometimes for a singer, the most important thing is not technique, but innate sensitivity to melody and rhythm.Music itself is a thing that is very dependent on talent. Almost all artistic skills have such characteristics, and the performance of talent is extremely obvious.

If Hu Menghan is tone deaf, Fang Nan will have to work harder.In this case, the price that both parties need to pay and the reward they receive will naturally be different.

Speaking of this, Yan Li really had no reason to refuse.No matter what, Hu Menghan's voice condition is always information that Fang Nan will know sooner or later.

It just so happens that Wanzhong also has a basic recording studio for practice. Although there are daily arrangements for the use of the recording studio, there are always some studios with simple recording equipment that are vacant.Fang Nan followed Yan Li into one of them.

Before the test, Fang Nan first asked Hu Menghan: "Can you read music?"

Hu Menghan replied a little nervously: "I'm just learning, I can understand it simply."

Fang Nan nodded, selected from his computer, and then printed out a piece of sheet music through the printing equipment of Wanzhong Company, and said at the same time: "In order to test your level more comprehensively, the test songs are composed of I'll choose...I'm going to use a brand new song, you try to learn the song by looking at the score, and then sing it...Is there any problem?"

Hu Menghan hesitated for a moment.

It was actually a bit difficult for her.

Seeing her hesitation, Fang Nan vaguely understood her score reading ability.

But at the end, although Hu Menghan hesitated, he still agreed forcefully and said, "...I will try."

Fang Nan took out the printed sheet music, checked it and found that there were no errors or typos, and handed it to Hu Menghan.

The song is called "For Whom I Learned to Pretend".

Hu Menghan first briefly scanned the full score, and after seeing the lyrics of the whole song clearly, he blinked and began to sing silently in earnest.

Yan Li asked her, "Is there any difficulty?"

Hu Menghan replied: "I'll try first." Then he asked Fang Nan: "Can you give me some time?"

Naturally, it was impossible for Fang Nan not to give her time.

After that, he sat aside for half an hour. At first, he read the contract that Yan Li handed him. After reading the contract, he negotiated with Yan Li, and then turned on the console of the recording device and connected it. own laptop.

By the time Hu Menghan finished his preparations, Fang Nan was almost done too.

Then Fang Nan opened the admission process and began to listen to Hu Menghan's audition.

However, this process was quite unsatisfactory. After Hu Menghan tried to sing a few lines, Fang Nan found that she had lost her voice, and in terms of her vocal habits, the whole singing could not be called tactful and smooth.

But even so, Fang Nan did not interrupt, but let her continue singing.

After Hu Menghan sang the whole song, Fang Nan had a basic understanding of her music reading ability.And the next step is to determine whether the large number of mistakes in her singing are due to difficulties in reading music or defects in pitch.

So Fang Nan called up the score on the portable screen, glanced lightly, then looked at Hu Menghan, and sang the first line of the lyrics.
