Money Can't Buy It, I'm Willing [Entertainment Circle]

After solving the most fundamental problems, the rehearsal will be easier afterwards. At least when practicing again, Qin Ji can see where their performance is not good.

"Dong Yue, look, the range of your movements here is still too small, and the audience is so far away, they can't see you making this movement at all." Qin Ji pointed to the computer screen and said to Dong Yue, and then uploaded the video again. Go back and play it for Dong Yue.

As the chief director of this musical, Qin Ji's performance at this time is not as sunny and cheerful as usual, he is very serious with a straight face, and he looks good when he directs.

Regarding the control of the whole dance musical, Qin Ji has no ability to say that if there is a problem with what you do here, you should change it in this way. Among these five people, Qin Ji may be the weakest in acting. Those few professional actors, let alone Qin Ji went to guide them, and it would be good not to ask them to guide him.

And the measures he took were to tell them how he felt. After watching their performances, he would naturally feel that there was something wrong with it. Most of the time, it is up to them to perform on their own and solve their own problems. Except for Qin Ji, they are generally a group of actors with special spirituality. Of course, this problem is not difficult for them, but Jinjiang is miserable, and they have to be in charge of the two error correction.

Fortunately, the final effect is not bad, such as the problems of movement and tone, it is easier to change, sometimes the lines in the script are good when you read them, but once you read them, they look weird. The lines had to be changed, and what was even worse was the acting. Qin Ji felt that the direction of the plot was very strange. After some discussions, they reached a consensus that the script had to be changed. It has been changed beyond recognition.

And there is another advantage of everyone getting together to discuss, that is, brainstorming, and occasionally some sparks of inspiration can pop up, resulting in some particularly eye-catching plots and performances.

This musical as a whole can develop in a better direction, but because everyone paid the price with blood and sweat, Qin Ji, as a perfectionist, also has obsessive-compulsive disorder, which really tossed everyone, not only shaking s but also Crazy abuse of people, and self-abuse tendencies, everyone has a hard time.

It is often that everyone performs a scene on the stage first, and when they come down, they watch the video, and Qin Ji tells everyone the problems that arise in this scene, and then everyone thinks for themselves, and then gathers together to discuss it, and then go on stage and then continue the performance, just like this. Repeatedly, Qin Ji didn't rest himself, and he didn't let others rest, even Xiao Yinghou's scene was arranged like this over and over again.

The most important thing is that Qin Ji has also picked out the special details. They think it is okay in many places, but Qin Ji is picky and thinks that it will be better if it is changed here. Even if it is as small as raising a hand or turning back, Qin Ji will not let it go. Pass.

Pursuing perfection is good, but actors like them are the ones who get tired in the end, but seeing Qin Ji, he has been gritting his teeth and insisting on it. Not only is his requirement for himself not looser than that of others, but he is more strict with himself, so everyone didn’t say anything. ,.

We often get together at □□ o’clock in the morning, and then start rehearsals, during which we are very nervous and serious, and we don’t say that we all hang out and chat together, and we go out for lunch together at noon, and then we rush back to continue rehearsals , just practiced at such a high intensity from morning to night, more than 12 hours a day, and did not go to the labor bureau to sue him for oppressing employees, Qin Ji was considered popular.

And this period is the most tiring, because every scene has been rehearsed. What I have to do now is to put the whole musical together and see if there are any problems. In the past, I just went on stage for 10 minutes without stopping. Now The whole drama lasted for more than two hours, and the work intensity immediately doubled.

"Okay, the effect is good this time!" After the last scene, Xiao Xiaping stood up and applauded vigorously. Qin Ji stepped off the stage, wiped off his sweat, and was not in a hurry to get the camera to watch. Smiling, he said to Xiao Xiaping: "Auntie, our leading actors are almost done now, do you think we can call the extras over tomorrow and add them in to see the effect?"

After Xiao Xiaping agreed, Qin Ji turned around and rushed to the stage, where he was sitting slumped on the ground, and the panting people bowed deeply, "It's really troubled everyone during this time, thank you very much for your support for this music The play is so dedicated!"

A few people were taken aback by such a sudden move, Dong Yue quickly answered, "What are you doing, no, I took your money to act in a drama, since I charged you so much money You have to do things well, and naturally you have to suffer a little bit.”

"That is to say," Dan Ling also stood up from the ground, "There is no such thing as taking money to enjoy life, work!"

Having said that, it's not as simple as their job duties that they put in so much effort to rehearse, so Qin Ji will naturally keep it in mind.

"Let's go here first today, everyone go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow there will be a group performer joining, and it will be another tough battle. Everyone, prepare well."

"Where are we going?" After sending everyone away, Jin Jiang and Qin Ji planned to leave.

"Go to Chinese Media, Alex has already finished the final version of the accompaniment, let's go and get it." Qin Ji took out his mobile phone to check the time, and then called Alex to inform him.

Chinese Media Qin Ji’s music room was lent to Alex during this period of time. Although the final version of the accompaniment has been finished, Alex is not idle, writing and drawing with a notebook, and taking it from time to time. He picked up Qin Ji's instrument and fiddled a few times.

Seeing Qin Ji open the door and come in, Alex put down the things in his hands, and greeted him excitedly, "Oh, you are finally here, I really can't wait to let you have a look at the finished product, it's really great!"

After speaking, he took Qin Ji's wrist, pulled him to the side of the computer, handed him the earphones, and played the completed accompaniment.

Because there are a lot of accompaniments, an hour has passed by the time I finished listening to them all. Qin Ji put down his earphones and nodded in satisfaction, "Thank you very much, Alex, it's really great!"

Hearing Qin Ji's admiration and recognition, Alex grinned like a child, "It's not bad, it will definitely be very popular in Europe and America!"

"It seems that we have to find time for everyone to come over and record a demo." Qin Ji suddenly seemed to remember something, took out a USB flash drive from his bag, and handed it to Alex, "This is the one that was not suitable for musicals before. For dance music, I’ll go back and rewrite the lyrics, make some effects myself, and record a demo, how about you listen to it?”

Alex took it with great interest and copied it to the computer for a trial listen. He made the accompaniment of this song, mainly house and techno, so he should be familiar with it.

But when the accompaniment just started, when some simple but strong rhythmic pop dance drums and break beats appeared, Alex couldn't help but look up at Qin Ji.

These were added later by Qin Ji. Strong and broken applause rhythms appeared regularly, and there were also some metal sounds with electronic sound effects, which added a lot of vitality to the song.

When Qin Ji began to sing, Alex immediately pressed the pause button in surprise, took off his earphones and asked, "Did you write an English song?"

"Yeah." Qin Ji smiled, "When I wrote this song, I borrowed a lot of American dance music. Now that I'm rewriting the lyrics, I don't intend to restrain myself. It's always weird to force a Chinese lyrics. Yes, it would be better to write an English lyrics.”

Alex nodded in agreement, and the earphones continued to listen. The accompaniment of this song was originally composed of repeated melody and rhythm, just like a repetitive mechanical sound, constantly washing over people eardrum.

This is a very common structure of electronic dance music, which is very brainwashing and ear-catching, but because it is too repetitive, it is not so listenable, and it is easy to get tired of it.

However, Qin Ji did a great job adding broken beats. The rhythm of the applause is sometimes active and sometimes dull, adding many differences and new ideas to the originally boring rhythm.

The melody of the whole dance song is full of energy, with an aggressive aura, which is very infectious and makes people feel excited.

The electronic sound effect of the song is also very good, it is just right and will not make people feel strange, and there is a rap that follows a very strong sense of rhythm and looks very harmonious.

After listening to the whole song, Alex regained his composure and said to Qin Ji: "It's amazing, Qin, you are such a genius! Do you want to come to Europe and the United States to develop?"

"I don't have any plans yet." Qin Ji shook his head with a smile. His foundation in China is not very stable yet. Since the first-class actors entered Hollywood, it is rare to see their works now.

When I went to the United States, there were too few resources, so I didn’t have any films to make, but the price went up, and I couldn’t afford it in China. Even the original resources were lost. There may not be a work to come out for several years, and the situation is extremely embarrassing.

Singers may be better than actors. After all, actors are acting for others, and singers are singing for themselves. I didn’t say anything about how expensive I am.

But now is not the time to just take this risk. Now is the time for the domestic music scene to alternate. The new generation is constantly emerging. Qin Ji has not yet consolidated his position in the country. At this time, he hastily marched into Europe and the United States. If the review is not good, the newcomer may have replaced him.

"That's a pity..." Alex sighed, "What's the name of this song? I want to take it back and show it to them"

"This song is called "aha!"." Qin Ji didn't ask Alex who the 'they' were, but he thought that top producers like him must be at the same level. Although Qin Ji I don't have the ambition to enter Europe and America now, but it doesn't mean I don't want to in the future.

It may be the dream of every singer to break into the center of world music popularity in Europe and America. Now that there is such an opportunity, it is quite good.
