Aesthetics of Violence [Entertainment]

The corner of Zhu Zan's mouth was forced into a faint smile, and he was joking with those veteran singers who were famous and famous in the music world.But in fact, the anger in his heart was burning fiercely, and it was about to reach the burst value.He had to concentrate so that the swear words stuck in his throat would not suddenly come out along the cracks in his lips.

He took deep breaths over and over again in a barely audible voice, while greeting Feng Lan's family in Yingcheng dialect with rich vocabulary in his brain.

Who the hell will tell me what's the point of playing big names on this kind of show?

Zhu Zan was so angry that his temples twitched, and the faintly aching forehead was reminding him that he must not get angry now, especially in front of these five people. In addition, Feng Lan, who has not yet been present, is an old-timer who has been in the music scene for several years. Most of them even have a longer activity period than Dong Linzhi, who debuted for ten years. The thin camel is bigger than the horse. He has only worked for four years. In their eyes, the director of the year is probably like a newcomer. One thing more is worse than one thing less. They can't rush to provoke this group of people without thinking.

Dong Linzhi looked up at him for a moment, this woman had such a wink, she raised her hand and patted Zhu Zan's arm, her voice was nasal and lazy and tired: "Director Zhu, you should go out and do your work first, I will I am always sleepy when I am old, and I want to rest quietly for a while."

"Young people are full of energy, and we old people can't keep up no matter how hard we try." Another female singer who ironed middle-aged women's rolls also laughed and teased. She is the oldest celebrity artist on the show. In 26 years, there are countless classic works, and many people in the industry are her fans.She was originally the most difficult person in Zhu Zan's heart, but after actually getting in touch with her, she found that the singer exuded a touch of maternal brilliance, humorous words, and a gentle attitude. The default image of .And the remaining four people are similar to her. After so many years of working in the casino, their social skills have already been fully developed. They chat with each other without any grievances. They are long-lost brothers and sisters.

But this does not mean that the program can go on smoothly like this.

Feng Lan refused to show up for a long time, but she called her agent but was ignored, saying that she was on the way, but were they pretending that no one else had walked the main road at nine or ten o'clock in the morning in Pingjing City?Even during the most congested weekends, as long as they don't have to go to the "West District Parking Lot" road, an hour and a half is enough for them to drive from the old West District to the East New District.Besides, the TV station is sandwiched between the two districts, saving half of the journey.

Zhu Zan is not stupid, he has already figured out that this is the big star who debuted for 16 years to prepare for himself.

Hurting others and benefiting oneself, Zhu Zan did not expect that the methods could be so naive.

At 35:[-], Feng Lan arrived late.

"Hey, Director Zhu! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've been too busy recently, and I've been on the road for too long, didn't it delay our recording?" Feng Lan walked over with her nearly ten-centimeter stiletto heels, and followed Zhu Zan She said in her usual flirtatious tone, "Has Director Zhu been standing in the corridor waiting for me? Are you tired? I feel a little distressed..."

"When you come, go in and say hello, Sister Yun and the others are all here," said the amiable 26-year-old singer named Yu Yunzhi. Zhu Zan just wanted to remind Feng Lan that there is someone more qualified than her here. Veteran artists, don’t act casually, it’s better to be respectful, “Recording will start on time at eleven o’clock, and the schedule has been delayed for two hours, so hurry up and make up for it.”

Of course, Feng Lan heard something in Zhu Zan's words, she snorted softly from her nasal cavity, and didn't care too much. greetings.

Zhu sighed and stood leaning against the wall in the corridor. There were only three or two staff members passing by in a hurry. He was trying to adjust his mentality and prepare for the battle.

Where is this going? The official recording has not started yet.

After experiencing Feng Lan being two hours late, Zhu Zan has already lowered his expectations for today's recording to the minimum.Therefore, when they were successfully divided into groups, successfully completed the first round of personal interviews, successfully led everyone to appreciate the stage environment, and successfully prepared to start the lottery for the competition tasks, Zhu Zan still felt like he was dreaming, even All a little flustered.

Not surprisingly, Zhong Mingcan and Dong Linzhi were in the same group. Dong Linzhi met this man in a coffee shop last time. At that time, he was in no mood to look at him carefully. Now the two of them are in the same group, and the distance between them is not even more than 30 cm, she can finally observe the man in front of her.

He looked more mature than when we first met, probably because he was dressed more formally today, with a white shirt and suit pants, not a simple gray T-shirt and washed blue jeans like a college student last time.

This face is naturally so fair and lovely, and the hair is neatly combed, which still perfectly fits her fantasy of "the little milk dog in the next year".Dong Linzhi was amused by his own evil thoughts for a moment, and Zhong Mingyan who was standing by the side was puzzled, so his gaze was full of doubts.

"Don't you think you're looking forward to it?" Dong Lin knew whether to dodge or not, and met his gaze with a smile. He was afraid that Zhong Mingcan would feel embarrassed, so he took the initiative to talk, "I just heard what the director and the others meant. It's not just about the type of arrangement we want to complete, Even the songs we are going to adapt in the future are determined by lottery, what if we get some opera storytelling and want to adapt it into hiphop?"

What is a word of prophecy?

Dong Linzhi was holding a black plastic ball in one hand. At this moment, the light plastic seemed to weigh a thousand catties. She was like holding two grenades that were about to explode.

When did I become this poisonous milk physique?

Zhong Mingcan leaned over and had to pretend to be curious in front of the camera.In fact, he is not very interested in the results of the lottery. In other words, no matter what content is drawn, he is confident that he can do it well. After all, for him, music is his greatest pride.

Seeing Dong Linzhi holding "Excerpts from Peking Opera: "Suo Lin Nang"" in his left hand and "Adaptation Type: R&B" in his right hand, Zhong Mingcan was also a little dumbfounded for a while.

He was a little skeptical. Could it be that Dong Linzhi got the script in advance?How can you guess so accurately?

Lei Zi, who was pushing a trolley filled with more than a dozen black plastic balls and arranging the lottery for each group, was standing at the door of their waiting room at the moment, looking at the same expressions of the two people in front of him, thinking about this group The point of view is enough for editing. Unknowingly, I am a little happy, and it seems to be gloating: "Hey, I dare not write the script like this when the opera is paired with R&B. Thank you for your hard work. You two should discuss it carefully first. Let’s take a look at the future arrangements. After we draw lots, we’ll install a camera in everyone’s waiting room. At that time, please talk more in front of the camera and open up! It doesn’t matter how you scold us, it will beep anyway .”

Dong Linzhi managed to squeeze out a smile from between his teeth. He looked at Leizi with a vicious look, and said softly, "Your program team really knows how to play..."

Lei Zi continued to laugh, pretending not to hear, turned around and pushed the car to the waiting room of the next group.

Dong Linzhi watched Lei Zi's back disappear from sight with a murderous eye knife, and when the cameras were withdrawn one after another, she gently closed the door of the waiting room, paused, and turned around to talk to Zhong Mingcan, with a relaxed expression on her face. The tone of voice has also changed into the usual indifferent and lazy look: "How is it? Can you do it?"

"Huh?" Zhong Mingcan didn't expect Dong Linzhi to react like this, why did he calm down when he left the camera, his voice was tinged with panic, "Ah, I... I've actually been studying modern arrangements of traditional music recently , should be able to try."

Dong Linzhi nodded, thoughtful at the end, and suddenly raised his eyes to find Zhong Mingcan's gaze, and smiled at him: "Don't worry, you can play whatever you want, and you can change it however you want. If you can't sing well, I'm the loser." He was talking about something as a joke, it was really not serious.

Zhong Mingcan was completely stupefied now, he never chased the singers in the mainland pop music scene, and of course he didn't know that the woman standing in front of him seemed to be indifferent, but in fact she also had amazing singing skills .

Ten years ago, when Dong Linzhi made her debut, she was arranged to take the route of a young girl, relying only on her crescent eyebrows, starry eyes, bright lips and bright teeth, which made most of her followers completely ignore her professional job-singing.Over the years, the persona that Yao Jie has blessed her with are also personality labels such as domineering, funny, and carefree.I don't know when she, Dong Linzhi, became what others called a "TV star". She went out of her way to announce variety shows, entertained people, and made people laugh. It seemed that she was no longer a "professional singer".

When I heard Ge Qiao's proposal, I was also shaken like this.

I finally had the chance to tell them that I am actually a singer.

"No matter how you arrange the music, you will inevitably use coloratura. The continuous pitch may reach the female score HighE[Note], and the highest pitch may even exceed HighF..."

Dong Linzhi listened, his expression remained indifferent, and he calmly looked directly at Zhong Mingcan, who was frowning and hesitant.Seriously, it's been a long time since she heard anyone explain the music theory to her in such a serious manner, and it's been a long time since anyone worried about whether she could sing a certain high note freely.The long-lost feeling, so strange, yet so familiar, felt a bit of turmoil in her heart, and the ripples quietly rippled on the lake, turning into circles of ripples, which made her feel itchy in her heart, and her blood began to roll in her limbs and bones. The shock made her suddenly feel sore nose and warm eyes.

She finally couldn't help interrupting Zhong Mingcan's words.

"It can be sung. As I said, you can change it according to your ideas, and I can sing it."

"Director Zhu..."

Zhu Zan was talking with Xiao Heng, the music director hired by the TV station for this program, in a single studio on the fourth floor at this time, exchanging the content of future recordings. Zan immediately saw the "Peking Opera Selection + R&B" by Dong Linzhi and Zhong Mingcan, and couldn't help being taken aback, but soon showed an inexplicable smile.Peking opera pays attention to rigidity in singing, while R&B music advocates free improvisation. It is not easy to integrate these two completely different art types.It's a pretty tough challenge indeed, but who's to say it won't be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Hearing someone calling him, Zhu Zan turned around and looked at the person standing at the door. It was a tall man with slightly curly hair.He recognized this man, just met, an unborn music producer.

"Director Zhu, hello, my name is Xue Tao, and I'm from the music producer team. I would like to ask if the lottery result can be changed?" The words were polite, but they made such a bold request for cheating.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Zan straightened his waist, and frowned upon hearing this, feeling vaguely ominous.

"Sister Yun and I adapted jazz from opera excerpts. I don't think we are very good at it. My sister has never learned jazz singing and finds it difficult. I haven't learned this kind of arrangement much." Yu Yunzhi's old qualifications overwhelm the young director in front of him. In fact, he is also a little guilty. Yu Yunzhi finds it difficult. It is obvious that he is not good at playing musical instruments, especially the piano. Jazz music requires improvisation. It is really strenuous for him to play and have no template to refer to.Impromptu adaptation is too much a test for the level of arrangement of music producers, but he is a new human being in the 21st century. He comes from the intelligent industrial school and specializes in electronic music and software arrangement. A percussion pad [Note], find a string of beats that do not require copyright, and just sit in front of the computer and edit the soundtrack. This is a typical "I found out that I like music, so I choose to make music" in today's music circle. big dreamers.

"So what do you want to replace it with?" Zhu Zan also guessed pretty well. Hearing that Yu Yunzhi switched from folk singing to popular singing and spent several years studying pop music thoroughly, she would be that The kind of person who loses without a fight?But he still continued to ask calmly.

"Hiphop music or lyrical music." Either it is convenient for me to use a machine to arrange the music, or keep the melody.

"Have you ever approached people from other groups?" Zhu Zan didn't express his attitude, but kept asking, "Do the other groups have any objections? There are rules in the competition. If you want to break the rules from the first game, Wouldn't it be unfair to others?"

"Either I can find another group to change, is that okay?" Xue Tao didn't feel that the door was closed, so he pressed on.

"..." Zhu Zan felt that his blood was about to rush up again.

"Okay, go and ask if anyone in the other group is willing to change. If anyone is willing, come and tell us." Xiao Heng was close to Zhu Zan, and watched Zhu Zan's forehead twitch three times. Feeling bad, hurried forward to smooth things over.

Politely, he invited Xue Tao, the Buddha, away for Director Zhu. Xiao Heng turned around and met Zhu Zan who was glaring at him. He was so frightened that he stopped on his feet, and hurriedly explained: "You don't know that we can't afford to provoke Xue Tao. ?”

"Huang Xiangyan recommended me here, just a newcomer, how big is the character?"

"The son of the financial tycoon Huang Congjiang?" The smile on Xiao Heng's face gradually faded, and his brows slowly twisted together, "My big director, it sounds like you are quite familiar with him, Did you really not notice the relationship between Xue Tao and Huang Xiangyan?"

……

Hold.

Zhu Zan and Huang Xiangyan are wine and meat friends. They have met at the wine table a few times. Huang Xiangyan likes Zhu Zan's mouth that has always been active in the wine party. He talks all day long, which is very interesting.But Zhu Zan has never intended to gossip, and has no interest in the stories of men and women in the casino and the love scene. How could he guess that Xue Tao and Huang Xiangyan would have a relationship other than friends?

Even though he is gay, it doesn't mean that he can easily guess that a friend around him is also very masculine.

Zhu Zan was at war with heaven and man, and couldn't react for a moment. Seeing his expression, Xiao Heng sighed helplessly and shook his head. This director is still too young.

Backstage waiting room.

After Xue Tao returned from the fourth floor, he found the small room where Dong Linzhi and Zhong Mingcan were.

After listening to Xue Tao's proposal, Zhong Mingcan shook his head resolutely: "I'm sorry, I can't agree, it's not fair to other groups."

Xue Tao didn't expect that Zhong Mingcan, who had told himself "Your name reveals your talent" a few hours ago, would refuse so mercilessly. His throat was choked, and his enthusiasm died down. After a long while, he said: "Okay." Well, I'll find someone else..."

"Ah."

This time, the door was indeed closed. Xue Tao turned and walked out. Just as Zhong Mingcan was about to close the door behind him, he suddenly turned back and pressed against the door frame, and his tone became unfriendly: "Are you a good person?" I’m here to help you. I heard that you have a background in classical music. You must play the piano well. How suitable for jazz. Are you sure you can be good at R&B, a modern arrangement method? Not everyone can do it. It was a genius that day, don't try to be brave..."

Zhong Mingcan's face remained unchanged, his hand speed remained unchanged, and he closed the door with a "snap", blocking him and his conversation from the outside.

Dong Linzhi has been watching silently by the side, resting her chin in one hand, full of interest. She thinks the situation in front of her is too interesting, and she glances at the two cameras driving in the corner without any trace. The fuselage rotates from time to time, and the red light Blinking, it means it is recording all the time.

Zhong Mingcan doesn't seem to be at all afraid of how he will be portrayed in the camera.

Who cares, with Ge Qiao here, are you afraid that Zhu Zan will harm this person?

"Little friend, you are so brave, my sister admires you."

Finally, after nearly half an hour of tossing, Xue Tao successfully changed the theme with others. This time he got a lyrical song adapted into hiphop music. It is not novel enough, but it is stable enough, which is not satisfactory.After reporting to Zhu Zan and Xiao Heng on the fourth floor, he happily returned to his waiting room.

"Why didn't anyone tell me that there is a big financial backer behind this person?" Zhu Zan's tone revealed deep remorse and regret.

"What? Regret that I didn't take good care of him earlier?" Xiao Heng smiled so much that his fat face almost lost his eyesight.

Zhu Zan slowly moved his gaze to that fat face, looked him up and down, and said quietly: "If I had told me earlier that he already has someone backing me up, I wouldn't need him as a guest."

What is this causal relationship?

Xiao Heng was stunned for a while, and blurted out in doubt: "Why?"

"He has the ability to find a shortcut, so why bother to find hardship on purpose, and come to compete with this group of people living in hardship?"

"..." Xiao Heng tilted his head and frowned after hearing this, and suddenly lost his voice. He stared at the young director in front of him, and suddenly felt that the aura in his body became very strange. What kind of feeling does this feel, perhaps like a thick and oppressive black cloud suddenly hanging above the head, unable to move away, unable to reach, can only watch this black cloud silently release the pressure signal before the rainstorm, let He had some palpitations, no, very palpitations.He didn't even know where this palpitation came from, and when he calmed down and thought about it, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Zhu Zan said.

"Director Zhu, you have to change your... this kind of temperament, or you will get into trouble in the future." Xiao Heng could only hold back such a harmless order for a long time, as if to seek peace of mind .However, he didn't care too much about what he said, and he didn't know if Zhu Zan had listened to him.

"Brother Xiao, have you contacted the performance company we are working with?" Zhu Zan suddenly remembered the business.

"Ah, the connection has been made." Xiao Heng quickly came back to his senses, thinking of this matter, his eyes brought admiration again, "Director Zhu, your idea is really amazing, a stroke of genius, let's sing for the winning group Yes, there are hot spots and money to be made, and it is said that it has saved a lot of expenses in the station!" In addition to the unknown newcomers, this group of guests is also a veteran singer who has passed away. To these two types of people, money is not important, but popularity The key is the dream and the dream. If you grasp these two points well, you will be stuck with these people.

"Is it reliable?" Zhu Zando asked for safety reasons.

"Of course, he is an old friend of mine. He has cooperated with him many times. You can inquire about Director Deng, who is famous in the Jianghu industry. He is very reliable!" Xiao Heng was proud when talking about his partner. I have to shake my head.

However, Zhu Zan's focus stopped on a single word, his heart sank suddenly, and then suddenly began to tremble violently, causing acid water to rise in his stomach, and his thighs became sore in an instant.

Director Deng, surnamed Deng?

He felt that he might not be really possessed, why would he be terrified like a conditioned reflex when he heard any word in that name?

how can that be possible?How many people have the surname Deng in the whole country?Besides, Deng Weiyi is such an old-fashioned, step-by-step person, how could he be able to do a job such as performance planning, which even has an extremely irregular daily schedule?

Zhu Zan felt the ridicule in his heart, his chest was sour, and he frowned and smiled wryly.

"It's good to be reliable, thank you Brother Xiao for your help."

"No, no, no, I have to trouble Director Zhu to order us around more. We all rely on our works for a living, so we should help each other!"

"I'm just a young director who hasn't worked for a few years. It's my honor to work with Brother Xiao. You don't have to be so humble."
