You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular

Chen Shen was finally ushered in by the front desk in a daze.

Although he still didn't understand the situation, he couldn't help being a little happy as long as he recalled Zeng Zeyou's expression that seemed to be cracked.

It wasn't until he walked into the studio that he gradually recovered, and couldn't help but ask the front desk: "Hello, may I ask, is the sister Liang you're talking about...?"

"The star Yao Bianliang," the receptionist blinked, "I'm still her fan."

Chen Shen's expression was slightly stagnant, and the ends of his gray hair were slightly curled up, looking a little dumbfounded.

So... Could it be that the person who handed him his business card was actually Yao Bianliang?

He couldn't help but recall the scene that day. The other party was wearing a peaked cap, sunglasses, and a mask, and was wrapped tightly. It was indeed the attire that a star should have.

No wonder the other party didn't want to show his true face. If it was a star, it would indeed make sense.

But, why on earth did the other party throw an olive branch at a rookie like him?

Chen Shen couldn't figure it out at all.

The receptionist led him all the way to the living room, and only then did he notice that there were more than one person brought to the living room.

Several people were sitting on the sofa, talking in low voices, when they heard footsteps, they all looked over.

Chen Shen noticed with sharp eyes that one of the people with dyed blue hair looked familiar.

"Hey, brother, are you here too?" The blue-haired man waved to him enthusiastically, "Do you remember me, we met at the "Best Music Producer" event that day."

Chen Shen also remembered that that day, the blue-haired brother and his companion chatted with him for a long time.

The two sides greeted each other.

Chen Shen couldn't hold back his curiosity: "You were also invited here at the event?"

The blue cat nodded: "Well, I didn't expect that I could be invited as an F-level."

A girl next to her was silent: "Actually, I'm also an F-rank..."

"What a coincidence, I am also F, how about you?"

"F-level +1."

"Me too."

Several people looked at each other and fell into silence.

From the looks of it, they should all be F-rank.

Chen Shen asked Lan Mao in a low voice: "Where's your friend? Wasn't he invited?"

If he remembered correctly, that man should be E-rank.

"I don't know why." Lanmao rubbed his chin with his fingers, and pondered for a while, "Maybe it's because his rating is higher than ours, so Hudi Entertainment Studio doesn't like it?"

Chen Shen: "..."

Although it sounds outrageous, it seems that this is the only reasonable explanation.

So what is going on with all this, is there a deviation in his cognition, or is there a problem in this world?

In the mood of doubting life, Chen Shen and several others waited until Yao Bianliang.

She also came with the screenwriter and director of this project.

The conversation that followed went so smoothly, so smooth that Chen Shen felt unbelievable.

Of course, since the subject matter of the film is ancient, some people left the scene regrettably because the style did not match.

Almost all of the remaining people got a contract.

The remuneration under the contract was very generous, and by the time Chen Shen finished reading all the terms and walked out of the building in a daze, it was almost evening.

It was time for lunch, and most of the paparazzi at the door had already left. Only a few very dedicated paparazzi continued to squat while eating boxed lunches, trying to take a few more photos.

The fiery red sunset diffused in the sky, dazzling, and the fresh air poured into his nostrils, which made him wake up.

This is not a dream, he actually... really signed a contract with Hudi Entertainment Studio!

A major song and dance movie with an investment of over 100 million yuan, and it is also starring a top domestic star. This kind of good thing, which is like a pie in the sky, will be bumped into by him one day.

Chen Shen held the contract tightly in his hand, and his mind was full of thoughts.

He still doesn't understand why Yao Bianliang signed them. Is it for curiosity? Or is it because there is something really special about them?

However, no matter what, this is probably the only precious opportunity in his life, and he must go all out.

"National song..." Chen Shen murmured in a low voice, a light flashed in his eyes, with bursting inspiration and passion.

Perhaps, it's finally time for him to show off his ambitions.

…

In the studio, Yao Bianliang was very satisfied with today's results.

After a screening, she ended up working with five songwriters, each of whom received an F rating from Best Music Producer.

These are the talents she needs very much!

With them, the quality of her new movie is guaranteed.

"Sister Liang, why did you reject these three contestants in the end?" Yan Xiaoli pointed to the two names on the list with doubts in her eyes, "They also know more about national songs, so they should be quite suitable for our team."

Almost all players who have not signed a contract are not good at national style, or even know nothing about national style.

And these three contestants obviously have national style works, but they still regretted being declined.

Yao Bianliang sighed: "Xiao Li, what do you think is the biggest difference between these three contestants and others?"

Yan Xiaoli pondered for a while: "The songs of these three contestants are very similar to those popular national songs recently."

Yes, in terms of style, the songs of these three contestants are more in line with the taste of the public and easier to become popular.

The lyrics are simple and the melody is easy to catch.

Moreover, some of the tunes of one of the contestants even carried the shadow of other songs.

Thinking of this, Yan Xiaoli seemed to understand: "Do you think they imitated other songs, so they are not accepted?"

The seven notes are exactly the same, that is plagiarized other songs. And if it's just six notes, it's not easy to judge.

In the world of composition, such "imitations" abound.

Even in some cases, the original song is not popular, and the imitators can easily become popular by slightly changing the tune and changing the lyrics into vernacular.

Later, everyone thought that the plagiarist was the original, and the original became the "plagiarized" party.

Yao Bianliang shook his head: "That's just one of the reasons."

She has already seen that one of the singers likes to appropriate the tune of other songs, which is a matter of character.

The other two singers, although they did not appropriate other songs, have many similarities with popular music in style.

Yao Bianliang: "I don't sign a contract with them, mainly because their style is greatly influenced by a certain divine comedy and some popular songs."

You know, her goal is to become cooler!

What if you sign such a singer and let them create a popular brainwashing divine comedy, which unexpectedly explodes?

The risk is too great.

Therefore, even though they all got F-level evaluations, Yao Bianliang finally chose to give up.

Compared with the two, those obscure national style songs are more reassuring!

Yan Xiaoli showed a thoughtful look.

Indeed, what they shoot is a song and dance movie, which is extremely artistic and has high requirements for the quality of music.

These two contestants obviously did not have their own style, the songs lacked soul, and the final works were more like the product of an industrial assembly line.

And do they really need such a product? of course not.

The composers they need must have rich inspiration and creative enthusiasm-the soul of the song fits the soul of the script, and only in this way can a perfect work of art be presented.

"So that's it, I understand!" Yan Xiaoli suddenly said.

As expected of Sister Liang, even in the face of a new field, she can still easily see through the key points.

Compared with the other party, her vision is still too shallow, and she can't think of deep things at all.

With such thoughts in mind, Yan Xiaoli couldn't help but have more expectations for this song and dance movie.

Maybe this movie can really become a major breakthrough in the history of Chinese movies?

"However, having said that," Yao Bianliang tapped his finger on the desktop, "After today's incident is over, it won't be long before there will be news about singing and dancing movies on the Internet."

After all, fire cannot be wrapped in paper.

Yao Bianliang's reputation is there, there must be some players who can't help breaking the news on the Internet, and then spread gossip.

Of course, Yao Bianliang didn't intend to hide it. Anyway, this matter will definitely be dug up by the media in the end, and it makes no difference whether it is exposed earlier or later.

I don't know what kind of reaction netizens will have when they learn that she is going to make a song and dance movie.

While Yao Bianliang was thinking, he only heard two knocks on the door, and Assistant Chen's voice sounded outside the door.

"Sister Liang, have you signed the contract yet?" He said, "Director Shen is here, shall we go upstairs to the audition room for an audition?"

Since it is a song and dance movie, Yao Bianliang definitely needs to practice singing and dancing.

In her previous life, she had acted in dance roles, and practiced dance hard for two full years, so she had a solid foundation.

But singing is different.

In the world of Yao Bianliang's previous life, the film world and the music world were very separate. After all, interlacing is like a mountain, and it will not be like this world, where actors go to sing and singers go to act.

Therefore, she knows nothing about singing!

If in this movie, she is allowed to sing the song herself, wouldn't the quality of the whole movie be properly reduced?

Yao Bianliang informed Director Shen of this plan, and Director Shen naturally did not refuse, but said that they could conduct a sound audition first to simply see the effect.

"Okay, I'll come right away." Yao Bianliang said happily.

Director Shen is a middle-aged uncle in his forties, with a sharp-edged face and metal-rimmed glasses, he has an artistic temperament.

He has been operating in musicals for many years and already has a wealth of experience. It's just that after so many years, he has never participated in any movie-related projects.

Therefore, when Director Shen recommended himself, Yao Bianliang didn't hesitate much, and pulled him into the group on the spot.

What a perfect match for a director who has never touched a movie to make a movie!

After all, there is a big difference between a stage play and a movie. If Director Shen is free to do it, he will definitely be able to make a movie that is completely different.

"Director Shen, let's start the sound audition now?" In the recording studio, Yao Bianliang was adjusting the equipment with style, while asking Director Shen beside him.

Director Shen nodded, and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers: "Okay, I specially selected a few ancient songs this time, Mr. Yao, please try to play some of them."

After speaking, he pressed the play button, and soothing music sounded from the stereo.

…

The entrance to the recording studio separated by a wall. Many staff members looked here from time to time, chatting in low voices.

The soundproofing of the recording studio was so good that they could barely hear anything outside. And it is precisely because of this sense of mystery that everyone is curious about it.

Yao Bianliang is not only brilliant in acting, but also can write scripts and be a director, and I don't know what her singing is like.

Since it was not a formal recording, the whole process did not last long.

Ten minutes later, the door of the recording studio was finally slowly pushed open, and Director Shen walked out from inside with a dazed expression.

"Huh? Shen has come out."

Someone noticed the movement here and immediately looked over.

Director Shen's fingertips were still trembling a little, and his eyes were full of shock, as if he hadn't recovered yet.

Seeing his reaction like this, everyone couldn't help raising their sense of anticipation.

"Director Shen, how is Sister Liang singing?"

Could it be that Sister Liang is not only superb in acting, but also very talented in singing?

Look, even Director Shen, who has been in musical stage plays all year round, was deeply shocked by her singing!

"If Sister Liang sings very well, then let's just use the original voice, don't we need to find a dubbing?"

"I guessed before that our sister Liang is already able to develop in the direction of an all-around talent."

"Director Shen, what is Sister Liang's singing like? Can we go in and listen?"

Director Shen's lips trembled slightly, he calmed down, and finally said slowly: "No, I suggest you not to listen."

Everyone: "?"

Director Shen's expression became serious, with a bitter taste: "If...you don't want to be filled with her magic voice."

Everyone: "..."
