435: It’s Time to Exert Force!

"It's not tear-jerking, it's heart-warming. I didn't expect this. Google search to read"

"Yeah, I cried two times in a row. I don't plan to read this one. The result is a surprise."

"The main thing is that the ending song "An Ordinary Day" turns the tide. Jiang Ge wrote it well and Lin Yu sang it well."

"A simple, yet very listenable song that has been playing on repeat all night."

"Can it not sound good? Half of the stars in the entertainment industry have said yes and are recommending it."

"Django only has this kind of noodles."

…

There is no doubt that this issue of "The Story of Time" and Django have both been on the hot search, and related topics are flying all over the Internet.

First, the traffic blessings brought by Jiang Ge, Huafeng artists, and special guests.

Second, the format of the program is relaxed and touching.

Third, every issue will have a new ending song that is no less than a golden song.

Put these things together, let alone fans, even pure passers-by can't help but take a look.

"Director, the ratings of the third episode have dropped slightly, but because many stars and viewers strongly recommended the song "Ordinary Day", many new viewers have become attracted, and the number of online broadcasts has exceeded that of the first and second episodes. Data for the same period..." The staff is reporting.

"It is normal for the ratings to drop. With 'life' as the theme, it is less attractive. Most viewers come here for the ending song." said the director of the program marketing center.

"Whether it's for the show or for Django, it's a good thing if it can attract traffic. As for the ratings, it only needs to be kept around 50%." said the station director.

After all, I spent so much money to buy it, and the ratings are too poor, which will affect next year's investment promotion. However, the current situation has exceeded expectations.

However, some people are happy and some are sad.

Dragon TV made a temporary change and invited popular crosstalk actors to be guests, which increased the ratings, but the reputation dropped a lot.

Although the guests did their best to shake off the burden and create program effects for the sake of ratings, this episode of the program was not recognized by the audience, and the guests did not have many laughs. The overall feeling was that it was forced to be funny.

The only thing that can comfort me is that it has narrowed the gap in ratings with "Story of Time", at least it has not been defeated.

——————

Another busy week.

It has been rainy in Zhejiang Province recently, and the crews that started working in Hengdian have switched to filming indoor scenes.

Fortunately for Django, the rain had no impact on the recording of "The Story of Time" and the filming of the sixth episode has been completed.

The following Friday, the fourth episode will be broadcast. The theme of this issue is friendship. The Huafeng artists are Guan Yansi, Gong Li, and Huang Tao, and the special guest is Zhang Liming.

The song Jiang Ge prepared for the singer was "Friends" by Alan Tam, a classic Cantonese song that tells the process of people becoming friends.

Written by Xiang Xuehui, composed by Hiroaki Serizawa, and arranged by Tony Lu, it was included in the Cantonese album "Storm Goddess Lorelei" released on December 12, 1985, and is the movie "Brother Dragon" starring Jackie Chan, Alan Tam, and Rosamund Kwan. "Tiger Brother" episode.

As soon as Zhang Liming came on stage, before he even opened his voice, the barrage in the Blueberry TV live broadcast room went crazy.

"The stars flow

Going the same way with you

Starting from not knowing each other, our hearts are close

Treat others quietly and sincerely

life is like a dream

Friends are like fog

It's hard to know how many storms your heart has gone through

Don't take a step back for me

It's you..."

Accompanied by harmonica, guitar, bass and other musical instruments, poetic lyrics floated out of Zhang Liming's mouth.

In fact, there are so many people who are good at singing. Why is Zhang Liming called the God of Singing?

Every time this issue is raised, there will always be some people who stand up and say that so-and-so is better at singing than him, or that so-and-so is better at creating than him, and that he was created through commercial packaging and marketing hype.

Indeed, it is easy to run a title in the Internet age, but whether it can be recognized by the public is the key, especially if it is still widely recognized by the public after thirty or forty years, that is another matter.

Zhang Liming has good pitch accuracy, high saturation of his voice, accurate emotional expression, and effortless high notes. He is currently over fifty years old, but he is perfect in almost every performance during his tour, and he still maintains a very youthful appearance in his noisy state. vitality.

Furthermore, many professional singers or singer-songwriters grew up listening to his songs when they were young. It can be said that they were influenced and infected by his singing, singing style and personality to a certain extent. For example, Xu Chenyi, Lin Yu, Qin Shiyue and others all worshiped him as an idol.

And Jiang Ge's creative ability has been praised as a god.

So, the collaboration between the god of singing and the god of lyrics and music in the Chinese music world is naturally attracting much attention.

“Cantonese song!”

"Sounds good."

“Now it’s no problem listening to Cantonese songs.”

"The lyrics are very well written."

“It’s kind of like poetry.”

“It feels like this song is going to kill again.”

…

Family, friendship, and love are the three major themes of the human emotional world.

What is the warmest thing in life? Not the fire in the cold winter, not the spring breeze in March, but friendship.

This kind of emotion can melt ice and snow, is better than fire, and gives people endless warmth and strength.

When it came to the chorus, the audience looked at the photos showing friendship on the stage background, and pictures of themselves and their friends flashed in their minds.

"The stars in the distant night sky are closely related

You and I, even if the road is paved with thorns

Help me relieve the loneliness in my heart

who understands me

Both hands are happy and sad together

Sharing each other's burdens never distinguishes me or you

You do it for me and I do it for you

Went together in trouble and despair

hold your hand tightly

friend. "

Friendship is like water, light but long-lasting.

now,

This song "Friends" brings everyone's hearts together. In fact, people watching "The Story of Time" have become another kind of friends through the program, friends who listen to stories and chat about music together.

"Xu Zhixiao's "Friends" sings about brotherhood, while Zhang Liming's "Friends" sings about a calm attitude."

“There are many friends like fog, which will eventually disperse, but it is hard to know the heart, which will never leave you despite the storm.”

"The songs written by Django always touch the heart directly. The lyrics are pure and sincere that others cannot imitate. Just like a friend, others cannot take him away, and there will be no second him."

"A broken heart, where can I find a close friend in the world?"

"Maybe we are not living well, but when friends are together, a cigarette, you take a sip, I take a sip, what is exchanged is the cigarette, the exchange of love, and the wealth of the friend's life."

"Is this the God of Songs? Is this the God of Lyrics and Music?"

…

By the end of the show, the audience was full of praise.

Alan Tam's "Friends" is relatively old. After all, it was born in 1985. Many people born in the 1990s or 2000s probably know more about "Friends" by Zang Tianshuo and "Friends" by Stephen Chow.

Jiang Ge chose this song for no other reason than to promote Cantonese songs. There is no other way. Who made the Xiangjiang culture here in Blue Star not become brilliant? After being baptized by a batch of Cantonese songs, everyone gradually accepted this song. A song type is shifting from niche popularity to mass popularity.

On earth, the Chinese music scene in the 1980s and 1990s belonged to Hong Kong and Taiwan. There was always a Cantonese song murmuring in the ears, almost distant, lingering and pathos, with a strange sense of familiarity, making people dizzy and missing. , and seems to be saying "When you see the brilliant stars, please remember me in your heart."

His promotion of Cantonese songs is not to make Cantonese songs mainstream, but simply to share the classic Cantonese songs on earth with the Blue Star audience.

When the farewell theme of the fifth episode was aired, the closing song "Can't Say Goodbye" received rave reviews.

Jiang Ge and Zhang Liming’s two collaborations and two Cantonese songs set off a trend of Cantonese songs, and even made the ratings of "Story of Time" exceed 0% for the first time, closing at 18%.

"Awesome!"

"I feel like I have a good chance of breaking the ratings record for variety shows!"

"Keep going, steady, there are still three periods left, and only 59% is left!"

"But the latter themes are nostalgia, dreams and love. The first two are average, so we can only rely on the last issue."

"Not necessarily. I dream of having Longwei in charge."

"His movies may be okay, but as for variety shows, they don't have much appeal."

…

Netizens no longer discuss the ratings battle between "The Greatest Show" and "The Story of Time", but have begun to analyze whether the latter's ratings are likely to exceed 77%.

Ten years have passed since the birth of this record. During this period, many well-received and popular variety shows have been produced, such as "National Treasure", "Classic Chant", "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" and "Brother Overcoming Troubles", but none of them can do it. Break this record.

"Story of Time" seems to have a chance, but don't underestimate this 59%, it may be an insurmountable gap.

There is a lively chat outside. Where is Django? What is he busy with?

He is guiding Long Wei to record songs.

The recording studio version needs to be prepared in advance and will be uploaded to NetEase Cloud Music after the program is broadcast.

The filming of "The Expendables" progressed in an orderly manner. Long Wei handed over the crew to Rocky and flew back to record the songs and programs.

The theme of the seventh issue is dreams. The Huafeng artists are Guan Yansi and Du Yue. The special guests are Long Wei and Zhou Mulong. The closing song is "True Hero".

This is a song sung by Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow, Wong Yao Ming, and Lee Chong Sing. It was written and composed by Lee Chong Sheng. It was first included in the compilation album "Rolling Stone Nine Kings Sing Twelve Great Shows in Summer" released on June 18, 1993.

With beautiful melody, catchy melody, appropriate lyrics and music, and full of emotion, it has deeply touched the hearts of countless listeners and has become one of the best popular songs.

"Xiao Jiang, your song has won my heart. It expresses the passion and heroism in the hearts of our generation, especially 'seize every minute of life and go all out for the dreams in our hearts. How can we see each other without going through wind and rain?' Rainbow, no one can succeed casually. These words made me cry at the time.”

Long Wei gave this song "Real Hero" a very high rating. It is not easy to make him, a tough guy who punches and kicks, climbs high and low, and does all kinds of dangerous actions on the screen, cry. matter.

At this time, he sang for the first time in the recording studio.

Similar to Jackie Chan, when he was young, he was required by the company to "diversify his development" and released several solo albums, achieving platinum record sales in various Southeast Asian countries.

His voice characteristics are similar to those of Zhou Huajian, with strong magnetism, natural and soft mid-range, and high tension and explosiveness in the treble area. He is good at using techniques such as nasal voice, crying voice, and falsetto when singing. His voice is highly recognisable. You will know it is him as soon as he opens his mouth. .

"Let sincere words and happy tears flow in our hearts."

After singing, Long Wei took off his monitoring headphones and asked with a hint of expectation: "Xiao Jiang, how are you?"

Jiang Ge took a breath and said tactfully: "The feelings are very satisfying, but there are a few problems with the breath and pitch, which need to be adjusted a little."

Long Wei has been in the world for a long time. How could he not recognize the good guy? He said straightforwardly: "Xiao Jiang, don't worry about me. You can say whatever you say about your artists. You can say something like this about me. Such a good song cannot be here." Something went wrong."

Having said that, there are still things to say about worldliness. Jiang Ge just smiled and said: "Okay."

If we use scores to express singing skills, the full score is 100 points. Long Wei’s singing skills used to be about 85 points, but now it may be because he is older, and his main job is not a singer, so he has not practiced much, so he can only get 70 points at most. .

Singing skills can't be improved much in a short period of time. What Jiang Ge wants is not to ask for the requirements of professional singers. Like Gu Yao and Gong Li, he focuses on emotions and supplements singing skills.

But even as a assistant, he didn't meet the requirements.

There is no good way, just sentence-by-sentence guidance.

"The melody A after the prelude is sincere, and the lyrics are full of sincerity and friendship. It expresses the author's hope that people will forget the pain in life and care for each other. If you pronounce the words, you can be gentler."

…

"Section b is two long and long phrases, which form parallel passages with the same beginning and different end through repetition. The tone of this section should be firm, high-pitched, inspiring and inspiring."

…

"There is a quarter rest between 'Don't go through the wind and rain' to 'How to see the rainbow', so pay attention to it in the rhythm."

…

After recording a few times, I made a lot of progress.

Long Wei accepted and corrected it humbly, and did not rely on his status to act big and embarrass Jiang Ge.

"I once had a dream in my heart, to forget all the pain with singing..."

Recording begins again.

But this time when Long Wei started singing, Jiang Ge's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I wish your life will be different from now on..."

The original version was a four-person chorus of Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow, Wong Yao Ming, and Li Zongsheng. Now it is replaced by Long Wei as a solo singer. The treatment is definitely different.

After the breath and pitch caught up, that feeling also followed.

"Let sincere words and happy tears flow in our hearts."

Life is not easy, we will go through ups and downs and we will succeed.

Long Wei sang more and more distractedly, and by the time he came out of the last line, tears fell uncontrollably.

After a while, he wiped the corners of his eyes and looked up outside the recording room. Music director Luo Hai and sound engineer Feng Liang were clapping and applauding, while Jiang Ge gave a thumbs up.

Long Wei removed the monitoring headphones from his ears and asked, "Do you need to do it again?"

Jiang Ge shook his head and replied: "No, it's already good."

It took most of the day, but overall it went smoothly.

When they came to the office, Long Wei chatted with Jiang Ge about the filming of "The Suicide Squad".
