Chapter 334 Works
"Would you like some?" Luo Quan handed the Dabao to Su Yu.
Su Yu quickly waved his hand: "We'll talk about it later. We'll talk about it later."
"Shall we line up, or should we go in together later?" Luo Quan glanced outside the studio. There were staff coming and going, and no celebrities were singing.
Su Yu was not very clear: "We should go in together later."
After waiting outside for a few minutes, a young man wearing a vest came out and said to the stars in the corridor: "Everyone, the audition has begun."
When the celebrities heard that the audition had begun, they rushed inside. Because they were in the CCTV building, they didn't look like adults rushing for a supermarket promotion, but they still rushed into the studio aggressively and came out to call people. The staff member was squeezed back.
Lan Xuan wanted to squeeze in, but Luo Quan and Su Yu were more concerned about their image, so they just stood there and waited for all the troops to enter before walking in.
Lan Xuan, who couldn't squeeze in, saw the two people behind him walking leisurely like an old man, and got angry: "You two are not in a hurry at all. There are only nine programs in total. There are so many people here if you are not active." Which turn will it be on us?"
Su Yu muttered: "It's up to the assistant director to decide whether to rush or not."
"I know this assistant director, we're familiar with each other." Luo Quan laughed, with a calm look on his face.
"Acquaintance?!" Lan Xuan suppressed his voice, but his tone was surprised.
Luo Quan explained: "This is Director Huang. He is the main director of "Creating Girls." He is a director with a good temper, but I haven't contacted him for a while."
Lan Xuan continued to ask in a low voice: "Can you open a back door or something?"
Luo Quan shook his head: "I don't know. After all, this is a CCTV program. Even if he, an assistant director, has the heart, he doesn't have the ability. It's best not to bother others. You can avoid a lot of criticism by relying on your own abilities."
Lan Xuan smiled awkwardly: "That's true."
When Luo Quan saw Lan Xuan, he felt something in his heart.
If you want to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, most people's principles of life are more utilitarian. Use favors if you have people, use connections if you have connections, and only rely on your own abilities when you have no other options. As a result, you end up bringing in money to join groups, Cypriots and other criticisms.
She used to look down on this kind of thing, but after signing Su Yu, she knew that she would inevitably do this kind of thing in the future, and she felt entangled in her heart.
One day, a person will become something she hates. The more deeply she comes into contact with the world, the more the values she has established in the past will change.
With a faint sigh, Luo Quan followed Su Yu and found a random seat in the studio to sit down.
She stretched her neck and looked around, trying to find anyone she knew. Unexpectedly, she found one.
It was her senior sister from Shangyi Kong Yue. Ever since she withdrew from "I Am a Singer", the two of them had not talked for a long time.
I heard that after she retired, the variety show's viewing volume plummeted by 35%, returning to the average level of previous seasons, and its popularity was no longer what it was when it first aired.
In the new episode, Director Zheng did a lot of work, setting up conflicts for the guests and setting the pace online. As a result, the data after the final broadcast was too big, and he was fired the next day.
After Director Zheng was fired, Mango also called Luo Quan again, hoping that she would return, but Luo Quan declined.
Just kidding, "it smells so good" is enough once, how could it happen a second time?
There was a huge uproar when she withdrew from the competition. I didn't give her a direct explanation at the time, but now I'm just pretending that her data is no good. What do I think of her?
In short, even though both parties were on good terms and did not say anything excessive, both parties knew that there would probably never be any cooperation again in the future.
Because of the show, Luo Quan did not contact the other singers after withdrawing from the competition. In fact, even before withdrawing from the competition, she had no contact with anyone else, except Kong Yue.
The two of them had interacted a few times on Weibo, but it was just a few likes and reposts on Weibo.
Today we met again in the CCTV studio. Luo Quan waved to her from several seats away.
Kong Yue was originally chatting with a staff member, but soon saw Luo Quan and came over immediately.
"I knew you would come today, so I was waiting for you in the studio early in the morning." Kong Yue happily sat down next to Luo Quan.
"how do you know?"
"There are only a few popular and capable singers recently. How could I not invite you? Even though it looks like an audition, it's just another formality."
Luo Quan nodded: "What about you? Have you tried the music?"
"I'm from the art troupe, so I don't even need to audition." Kong Yue said and laughed: "And what I want to sing this time is "Little River Flowing Water", and it's the version you adapted."
Luo Quan's cover of "Little River Flowing Water" does not have any copyright. Even if it was adapted, she did not register the copyright for the adaptation.
The main reason is that she thinks this adaptation is really worth applying for copyright. After all, the original song is a classic folk song, which means that anyone can sing her version, so CCTV did not specifically notify her when it was used.
Kong Yue saw that Luo Quan was obviously stunned, and then laughed: "I can see from your expression that the director didn't tell you, but this has just been decided, and I originally planned to tell you in person."
Luo Quan didn't care: "It doesn't matter, you just sing it. My adaptation is just to add clothes to the original song, it is not original."
"Adaptation is also a kind of creation. This version of yours brings a new idea to the song. From now on, "Little River Flowing Water" at the party will basically be sung in this way. It is no less meaningful than the original." Kong Yue He said and sighed: "Actually, if you don't withdraw from the competition this time, the singing king will most likely be yours, and Director Zheng has no points."
Luo Quan was suddenly curious: "By the way, did he ask you to change your music style?"
Kong Yue nodded: "Of course, he will intervene in all singers' song selections, but because I originally wanted to sing popular songs this time, he didn't give much advice. He just asked me to choose slightly more popular songs.
Actually, I didn’t want to come to participate in this “I Am a Singer” show, but the group always wanted those of us who work for the government to be more down-to-earth, so we accepted variety shows for many people. I was the most unlucky, and went to Mango tower. "
Luo Quan laughed and said nothing after hearing this. It seems that Mango Channel's reputation in the industry is very bad.
"Let's not talk about these troublesome things. Let's talk about this Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. You can't come empty-handed when you come to the audition, right?" Kong Yue looked at Luo Quan excitedly: "Is there a new arrangement this time? Or just release a song New song?”
"It's considered a new song." Luo Quan nodded, "It is a song written with the lyrics of Su Shi's water tune. The style of the song is relatively retro."
"The water melody song has a good title, and the first verse of the song is "Moon Moon" in ancient and modern times. I'm really looking forward to this."
Luo Quan smiled shyly and said nothing.
This song is indeed worth looking forward to. After all, it is a famous song by Teresa Teng, the former Chinese diva. Although the style of the song is indeed a bit old and full of the flavor of the 1970s and 1980s, when it is played on a big occasion like the Mid-Autumn Festival Party, it will sound More solemn and full of charm.
In fact, the version by another Chinese diva, Faye Wong, is also very good, and the style of music is more popular, but Luo Quan thought again and again and used the original version.
The two of them sat in the studio and chatted. The celebrities in front tried their best to get a spot from the director, but most of them had white voices and only met the assistant director's requirements for traffic.
After everyone auditioned, the assistant director did not announce the results immediately. He just nodded and said the next one.
While Luo Quan and Kong Yue were chatting, Lan Xuan also pulled Su Yu to the front, thinking that an early audition would leave a deep impression on the assistant director.
It's a pity that although Su Yu has a nice voice, he has never learned to sing, and his singing voice is too dry and he has no skills. When they came back, they were also dejected, probably knowing that there was no chance.
Luo Quan comforted her with kind words: "Don't be discouraged, it's just a Mid-Autumn Festival party. You can attend it when you become famous in the future, and you can even skip the audition."
Su Yu complained a little: "I just told you that I can't sing. As soon as I graduated from the acting department, I had to come to the audition. Just now, a lot of people were staring at me and laughing."
Lan Xuan was also dumbfounded: "Okay, okay, I won't let you sing next time."
Luo Quan looked at his watch and saw that it was already getting late. He got up and prepared to join the queue. He quickly scheduled the show so that she could go back to the hotel to rest. After the rehearsal tomorrow, she would go back to Shanghai to find a place for Su Yu to settle down.
Although she was jumping in line, Luo Quan was never a bully. She just moved from the back rows to the front rows. Director Huang, who had been busy auditioning the stars, didn't notice Luo Quan when he saw Luo Quan suddenly appear in front of him. I met a great master, and I was suddenly surprised and happy: "Teacher Luo Quan is here."
Luo Quan couldn't hold back his laughter: "Director Huang, you are more than ten years older than me, and you still call me teacher. I can't bear this. Besides, the show is over."
Director Huang was stunned for a moment, and then he also laughed: "Hey, I used to call it smooth, but I haven't changed it yet.
By the way, are you here to audition too? "
Luo Quan nodded: "Yes, CCTV invited me and I came. After all, I haven't been on CCTV for so long since I debuted."
These simple and unpretentious words sounded like they were showing off to the ears of the celebrities on the side.
Listen, it’s been so long since I debuted that I haven’t been on CCTV...
Many artists may not have the opportunity to appear on CCTV programs in their lifetime, let alone a major annual event like the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala!
Director Huang smiled and said: "It should be just a formality. I have invited you here, why don't I arrange a program for you?"
Luo Quan quickly corrected him: "Don't say that. In such a serious place as CCTV, everyone should do their job based on their own abilities. You should follow the standards of others."
Director Huang nodded: "Okay, then you can come to the audition first, because the singing program has not been decided yet, so just sing any song."
"Actually, I specially composed a song for the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala this time. I used Su Shi's water-melody lyrics to compose the lyrics. I wonder if it can be sung?"
Director Huang looked forward to it: "As long as it's a good song, just sing it."
Hearing this, Luo Quan felt relieved, walked directly to the front, picked up the microphone and sang a cappella:
"When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for wine.
I don’t know what year it is today in the palace in the sky.
………………………”
Although it was a cappella singing, the sound equipment in the CCTV studio was still quite good, allowing everyone to clearly hear Luo Quan's beautiful singing voice, which was like the fairy voice of a fairyland.
The music is a good song, and the lyrics are an eternal term. Combined with Luo Quan's singing, there is no need to elaborate on how excellent it is.
Before, the stars were a little worried, wondering if Luo Quan and director Huang Fu were so familiar with each other that they might be cut off from a spot. Now that they think about it, it's really funny.
With this kind of strength, is there any difference between internal and external decision-making? Anyway, she will definitely have a spot at this Mid-Autumn Festival party.
Just like Director Huang Fu said, Luo Quan was just going through the motions.
After singing the main and chorus, Luo Quan put down the microphone and before he spoke, several male celebrities clapped and cheered.
"It sounds great. It would be unforgivable if this song doesn't make it to the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala!" After listening to it, Director Huang still expressed his preference even though the audition hadn't ended yet.
However, he doesn't care about these minutiae anymore. Being entrusted by CCTV with the important task of assisting the director and being in charge of music programs, he himself has considerable research on Chinese music.
To be honest, Luo Quan's song is definitely one of the best Chinese songs for singing about the Mid-Autumn Moon. It can even be removed!
Of course, this is his own subjective opinion. Whether the public recognizes it or not is a matter for the public, but as an assistant director, he certainly cannot let this song go.
Director Huang asked Luo Quan: "What is the name of this song? Is it a water tune song?"
"It's called "May You Live Longer""
"The idea of the name is quite good." Director Huang sighed, and finally wrote the words Luo Quan: "May I Live Longer" in his notebook.
The celebrities present had sharp eyes and careful minds, and they immediately realized that Luo Quan had successfully passed the audition and officially entered the list of performances for the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.
At the same time, they also began to recall how many times Director Huang had written just now.
It's a pity that the sound check took too long. Many people were sitting down there bored and playing with their mobile phones. They didn't have time to pay attention to this.
After Director Huang finished writing, he said to Luo Quan: "That's it for now. Pay attention to the notice at night. There should be a task tomorrow."
"Okay, then you are busy first, then I will leave first." Luo Quan said goodbye to Director Huang with a smile, and returned to Kong Yue and others, "Sister, I have passed the audition, so I won't stay any longer. Tomorrow goodbye."
Kong Yue also stood up and prepared to go home: "Okay, many leaders are coming tomorrow. I will explain to you then."
Su Yu looked admiring: "As expected of the boss, I got through it easily."
Luo Quan smiled calmly: "Don't worship me, you can reach my level in the future!"
Ps. Thanks to L224 for the book coins, thank you!
