Chapter 113: Complete the assignment in one day
After seeing off HNT, Han Zhou will return to the crew to work.
It will take a few more days to shoot my personal scenes.
Before sending Wang Chuyang and the other two back to Yanjing, Han Zhou had to prepare a song for them.
After preparing for a long time, Han Zhou prepared a song that was not very suitable for them to sing, but very suitable for them to sing.
It’s not suitable because they are not yet at the age described in the lyrics.
It’s suitable because they are at the age the lyrics describe.
This song is "You, My Deskmate".
Of course, the main purpose is to make money. After all, the most suitable group for this song is students.
And in a few months it will be graduation season.
Moreover, the entire new program will be launched at that time, which will be a perfect timing for the three new entertainment stars to become popular.
However, before Han Zhou sent them back to Yanjing, he had to let them come to the crew to take a look, to gain some experience and to get to know the crew.
In the future they will definitely take acting classes and have the opportunity to join a film crew.
Han Zhou has no control over what other idols are like. Han Zhou pursues the high-quality route and does not want junk.
If they really can't film a movie, then we won't let them film.
Even if fans later forced the company to let them film, the company would not give them this opportunity.
After finishing the morning scenes, it was already one o'clock. Han Zhou went to the food delivery truck, picked up a box of food and started eating.
The man squatted beside him.
One of the extras saw Han Zhou squatting and hurriedly offered his seat to him: "Teacher Han, sit down."
Han Zhou: "You sit down, I'll eat while squatting."
It’s not that I don’t want to be offered my seat, it’s just that I spent the whole morning sitting down to shoot an indoor scene and my butt is sore from sitting like that.
Han Zhou was eating when he heard a familiar voice beside him.
"Did you eat too much rice in your house? Why is it so hard?"
"I like to eat soft rice."
Han Zhou waved his hand: "Don't give it to him."
“You, come here!”
Wang Chuyang didn't realize that the person squatting next to him was Han Zhou. He felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a dead rat. He could only walk over and smiled awkwardly: "Brother Han."
Han Zhou: "When you were trainees, didn't the company teach you how to speak?"
Wang Chuyang: "Oh! I'm familiar with the delivery guy, I'm kidding."
Han Zhou: "You like to joke around. What if someone takes a picture of you and posts it online? Haha."
Wang Chuyang frowned: "No way?"
Han Zhou: "As your fans grow, some of them may follow you and take photos of you."
“Your fans are different from my fans.”
"Be honest with yourself. Even if you are talking to someone you know, you should be serious."
"If someone else shoots a video and edits it and releases it, do you dare to jump out and say that those were not your words? You have to be careful about how you say every word."
Wang Chuyang scratched his head: "Okay."
Han Zhou took a big mouthful of rice and a bite of chicken leg, chewing as he said, "I don't have time to take care of you guys right now. I've been watching you for the whole morning. Is there anything you want to learn?"
"If you want to learn, bring it up yourself."
Wang Chuyang's eyes lit up: "I want to learn martial arts!"
It was originally a martial arts TV series shooting scene, and the martial arts instructor had a lot of work to do. He was always chatting with the director Zhang Jiuquan, the first screenwriter Han Zhou, and the photographer Chen Xiaoyong.
Every actor will also communicate with him before starting filming.
Now that Wang Chuyang has arrived at the crew, he thinks the martial arts instructor is very awesome. And as a kid, he thinks martial arts actors are handsome, so he wants to learn.
Han Zhou picked at the vegetable leaves on his teeth with his tongue and said, "Okay, go find the martial arts instructor Yuan Xiaomei and tell her that I asked you to learn it."
Wang Chuyang scratched his head: "Why not Zheng Jianjun?"
Han Zhou slapped Wang Chuyang on the butt.
Wang Chuyang rubbed and jumped in pain, gasping for air.
Han Zhou: "On the set, when you see any crew member who is obviously much older than you, you should call them teacher."
"If you don't know someone and don't know if they are a member of the crew, or if they are an extra or a non-staff member, you should call them master."
"You want to learn from Teacher Zheng Jianjun, but you are not qualified."
Wang Chuyang complained: "I understand."
Soon, Wang Chuyang took a box of lunch and ate while walking.
This guy had already eaten a box of lunch, but children aged seventeen or eighteen have a big appetite, especially after practicing dancing every day, so their appetite is even greater.
While eating, Wang Chuyang found Yuan Xiaomei.
Yuan Xiaomei was drinking juice at this time.
Wang Chuyang stepped forward: "Yuan..."
Wang Chuyang looked Yuan Xiaomei up and down carefully, trying to judge how old Yuan Xiaomei was.
Yuan Xiaomei was puzzled: "What for?"
Wang Chuyang: "How old are you?"
Yuan Xiaomei: “Twenty-one.”
Wang Chuyang breathed a sigh of relief: "A woman three years older than you is rich, it seems there is no generation gap."
No need to call the teacher.
Yuan Xiaomei looked confused: "Huh?"
Wang Chuyang: "Oh, Brother Han asked me to come to you and learn fighting scenes from you."
Yuan Xiaomei is a stunt double, a martial arts instructor, and a martial arts actor.
Even though she doesn't play a role with lines in the crew, her scenes are often only half a second or one second long.
In fact, this person is very important.
If a TV drama crew of a martial arts action drama does not have an actress who can fight, the sense of martial arts will not be strong enough, and the onlookers will feel that they are just filling in the numbers.
After all, the costumes of the onlookers were far inferior to those of the leading actors, and their acting skills were much worse. When they were pretending to act, they couldn't even lift the sword, which was very ugly.
Therefore, we need some martial artists who can show their faces and stand at the forefront in such scenes.
And if there is an actress who can fight, then the sense of layering will be created.
Yuan Xiaomei is a newcomer herself. She came to the crew because her father is the crew's first martial arts instructor Yuan Baoqing.
She is also working here as a part-time worker. She is still a junior at the Yanjing Film Academy.
After hearing Wang Chuyang say that he wanted to learn fighting scenes, Yuan Xiaomei looked him up and down and asked, "Can you do it?"
Wang Chuyang flexed his muscles: "Of course I can."
Yuan Xiaomei began her days as a master.
…
"This place, you see, the lens is here, the light comes from this side, so if you hold the knife, stand like this, walk forward or turn the blade, there will be a light that just passes through the camera."
"There will be a feeling of cold light flashing."
Yuan Xiaomei taught, and Wang Chuyang watched and took notes: "So, the fighting scenes are not actually about fighting, but about physics, right?"
"Why are so many techniques all about movement angles and penetration angles? They have nothing to do with how good the fight is."
Imagine if a person in black walked past the camera with a knife in his hand, with the blade flashing coldly.
Then when he approached the person he wanted to assassinate, he changed his hand and held the knife, and there was another cold light.
In an instant, the cold light changed from shining on the camera to passing across the protagonist's face.
Is there a feeling of swords and sabers?
Many times, what people watch in martial arts TV dramas is the atmosphere and the feeling, rather than how well the fighting is actually done.
If you fight really well, and cover the whole scene, and let the two people fight freely, wouldn't that be the end of it?
The question is, how many actors of this level are there in the country?
Counting from Wu Li upwards, I could count all the men and women with two hands.
Yuan Xiaomei tapped the back of Wang Chuyang's head: "Knowledge about lighting direction and camera positioning are all taught in the acting class at the Film University."
"Martial arts actors are also actors, of course they are the same thing."
"Generally, actors with good physical strength and good bodies can perform some cool moves. They are not necessarily cool in fighting with others, but cool in using weapons and props."
"Fighting in a cool way is the job of the martial arts instructor to arrange the routines, not the job of the martial arts actors."
"If he can fight handsomely, he would be a leading actor in a kung fu movie."
Wang Chuyang: "I understand. We are the legendary mediocre kung fu."
Yuan Xiaomei: "It's acting, not fighting. Do you understand the difference between fighting and acting?"
Wang Chuyang nodded: "I understand. We can only perform mediocre skills. The rest depends on the cooperation of other staff members to achieve good results."
Wang Chuyang is actually quite smart and he quickly figured out the basics of filming martial arts scenes.
But Yuan Xiaomei doesn't know how to teach her apprentices. She only knows how to do it herself, so she thinks Wang Chuyang is a fool who tells dirty jokes all the time.
"Well, it's not that stupid."
Wang Chuyang took out a big lollipop from his pocket: "This is for you."
Yuan Xiaomei was puzzled: "Buying me such a big lollipop? If you are being nice to me for no reason, you must be a traitor or a thief."
Wang Chuyang: "No, I'm going back to Yanjing soon."
"I left the crew."
Yuan Xiaomei didn't care: "When this period is over, I will go back to school, and I will go back to Yanjing."
Wang Chuyang: "It's different. Once I return to the training base, I won't come out again."
"When you see me again in the future, I will be an idol on TV."
"You?" Yuan Xiaomei laughed: "As an idol, which girl can you fool? You are full of dirty jokes."
“Greasy.”
Wang Chuyang laughed awkwardly: "Don't look down on me, okay? I am the captain of the New Entertainment Trio appointed by Brother Han."
Wang Chuyang's expression turned serious. He looked at Yuan Xiaomei and stretched out his hand to touch Yuan Xiaomei's face.
Crack! Pop! Duang! Boom!
Wang Chuyang was pressed to the ground.
Yuan Xiaomei: "Not honest, huh?"
Wang Chuyang: "You are such a bummer. I am here to talk to you about serious matters."
Yuan Xiaomei let go of her hand, and Wang Chuyang stood up and extended his hand again.
Yuan Xiaomei was about to get out of the way.
Wang Chuyang said seriously: "Don't move!"
Yuan Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, and Wang Chuyang had already touched her forehead: "What's the matter with this scar?"
"I think your dad has it too."
“Is it hereditary?”
"If you want to be a martial arts star, this scar will have a big impact on you. This should be treatable, right?"
Yuan Xiaomei was helpless: "This scar is from when I was a child. My dad got drunk and threw me into the sky."
"I grabbed the leg when I caught it, and I bumped into the wardrobe."
"Ah!" Wang Chuyang: "Then where did your father get that scar on his forehead? I thought it was hereditary."
Yuan Xiaomei: "My dad's scar is because he threw me into the air and I hit the wardrobe and got a scar."
Wang Chuyang had a questioning look on his face.
Yuan Xiaomei continued: "Then my grandfather beat me with his cane."
Wang Chuyang: "I see. It's an external injury. When I get back, I will definitely find a doctor who can treat this kind of scar and cure it for you."
Yuan Xiaomei waved her hand and said, "It doesn't matter. With such a small scar, I can play the role of someone with a red mole between the eyebrows and a third eye."
Wang Chuyang: "I'll tell you if I find someone."
HNT went south to banana country.
The three new entertainers returned to the center of the entertainment industry, Yanjing.
After returning to Yanjing, Wang Chuyang, Lin Jianqiu and Wang Mo began to practice "You, My Deskmate".
This song has no dance, only vocal parts, and the requirement is to achieve perfection.
Since it's not singing and dancing, there's no excuse for any flaws.
For the three of them, they have to practice.
HNT, however, feels that the days are different at this time.
"Wrong, Wrong, Wrong" flopped in the Chinese market.
But in the country of bananas, it is very popular.
Many people who like to follow pop culture like this song.
When HNT landed in Banana Country, there was no movement.
As a result, when "Them Mot Lan Dau", "It Hurts Again" and "Wrong, Wrong, Banana Version" were released, a strong trend quickly blew up.
At that time, the Banana Country had not yet integrated into the Internet of Things, and not many people could access the Internet using mobile phones and computers.
Therefore, popular things are entirely based on translations of Chinese works.
Unlike the previous Banana Country, which even had "See Tình" which was popular all over the Internet in China and abroad and was used by many short video bloggers to accompaniment their dance music.
The emergence of HNT directly hit the market.
But there is one thing that is very annoying.
HNT became popular in China after only a few days in the country. Many people on the Internet knew that a Chinese group came to China and sang a Chinese version of the popular song "Wrong, Wrong".
However, not many people are willing to spend money.
Even if we pay them to perform at commercial events, based on the market price, it would only be a few hundred thousand each time.
After deducting operating expenses, the company takes a cut, and the rest is divided among the three people.
Only two to three thousand can be divided at a time.
Zhang Die directly suggested to refuse commercial performances and practice dancing here during this period of time.
Practice singing.
At the beginning, Liu Yanzhou was a tough guy and hated training the most.
But after going through so many things, Liu Yanzhou felt that he was holding Zhang Die back.
Although Zhang Die was playful and not studious when he was young, his family was well off when he was a child and he learned some music.
Later, his family's financial situation became bad and he was left with only his grandmother to depend on. When he saw that Tianle was recruiting trainees with a subsidy of more than a thousand yuan, he signed up immediately.
That’s right, other trainees are here to become stars.
Zhang Die came here to earn more than a thousand yuan in subsidies.
At first, Zhang Die thought that he could just make a thousand yuan a month and get by.
Food and accommodation are provided.
What to learn?
He was the first one in Han Zhou's class to say that banana is called "badudu" in English and was scolded by Han Zhou.
However, since forming the HNT team, Zhang Die unexpectedly discovered that being a celebrity is very profitable.
It only became popular for a few days, but he made hundreds of thousands of dollars!
If I hadn't messed up later, I would probably have made several million a year or even more.
How would people who come to be trainees for a little over a thousand feel about hundreds of thousands?
Zhang Die also thought about it. Since he had made hundreds of thousands of dollars this time, he might as well go home and open a small shop and live there for the rest of his life.
However, after being scolded by Wang Chuyang, Zhang Die just refused to accept it.
You are amazing, you are born into a good family, you are smart, you are good at everything, but what does your ability have to do with my success?
What are you preaching?
Don't I know what's right and wrong? Do I need you to step on me?
After hearing "Blue Lotus", Zhang Die cried.
Zhang Die cried so hard that he felt like he had lived like a dog for the first 18 years of his life.
In the rest of my life, even if I have to be a dog, I want to be a dog that can eat meat.
At least, I can earn some money to bring to grandma.
So, from that day on, Zhang Die changed.
What does it mean that if your limbs are not coordinated, you can’t learn to dance?
Nonsense.
If you can't learn it, you have to be beheaded. Unless you have a cerebellar disease, who can't learn it?
When Zhang Die arrived in Banana Country, he immediately started the terrifying training.
Because his hands and feet were always dancing separately, when Zhang Die danced, he would tie himself to the bed frame and learn the hands first.
After learning all the hand movements, tie your hands to your body and learn the steps.
After you have mastered the hand and foot movements, you can then focus on learning the rhythm and body movements.
Using this method, Zhang Die learned the dance that he had not been able to learn even after several months of training in just one night.
When Zhang Die showed the dance to Liu Yanzhou and Wei Chengan and asked if it was qualified.
Both of them were dumbfounded.
Zhang Die, who had uncoordinated limbs, suddenly became wise after arriving in the Banana Kingdom?
Now Zhang Die has to train during this period of time, and Liu Yanzhou actually doesn’t care whether he becomes a star, an idol, or studies or not.
But during this period of time together, Liu Yanzhou recognized Zhang Die and Wei Chengan as his brothers.
Now, if I can’t do it well, I will drag my brothers down.
Liu Yanzhou decided to start making up for his shortcomings.
Environment can change a person.
Although it is still spring, the weather in Banana Country has already heated up.
The place looked nice, but it didn't have air conditioning.
There were bugs every day.
The food here is very similar to that in southern China. After all, the food culture of Banana Country was learned entirely from China.
But that weather thing is really crazy.
Dressed neatly, they practiced idol standing, idol sitting, idol walking, and danced idol dances, sweating all over.
Like a tired dog.
I spent a few days practicing and making the MV at the same time.
The "Wrong Wrong Banana Version" with a strong non-mainstream style was produced.
Attitude sometimes really determines everything.
None of the three knew the language of Banana Country, so with the help of a translator, they marked the pinyin and sang it.
But when they sang it, they always felt that this transliteration was a bit... too funny, how could it be pronounced properly?
The three of them didn't care that much.
"Them Mot Lan Dau" is officially released.
According to the news report of the lawsuit on the same day by the legitimate website, the number of downloads of "Them Mot Lan Dau" on a certain pirated website reached 1.39 million times on that day!
The next day, the total number of pirated downloads of "Them Mot Lan Dau" reached 4.7 million times.
If these were all paid purchases, HNT would already be a top-tier artist with four platinum singles.
Too bad they're all pirated.
The news that the number of pirated downloads of "Them Mot Lan Dau" reached nearly five million within one day of its release was also released by Bilibili.
The popularity of "My Skateboard Shoes" has not yet passed.
The heat of "Wrong, Wrong, Wrong" being blackened by the entire network has not yet passed.
HNT is the top streamer on Bilibili at this time.
When the news came out, Bilibili was shocked.
What the hell, the banana version of the song "Wrong, Wrong" became a hit just two days after its release?!
Many people make fun of the taste of the Banana Country fans and why the Banana Country is still non-mainstream.
Bilibili has been criticizing non-mainstream topics, so this is the convergence of two strong topics.
And the evil beasts came in overwhelming numbers.
At this time, a video that was not a ghost video but just filled in the lyrics by ear appeared.
"How can a girl with braces be so beautiful?
My sister has such strong and beautiful legs
Find an American girl, just hold on to the hunt
Let's go, hurry up, girl.
Oh monster, what a beauty!"
“Why is it that a beautiful woman is taken advantage of by others?
Being a man is too tiring, like a chicken
You always keep calling for more
You're so erect~"
The phonic version is the first must-see this week.
The criticism of non-mainstream heat, the ghost animal heat, and HNT’s own red and black heat are all gathered in one.
"What can we do about beauty" has appeared in every comment section of the entire Internet with overwhelming momentum, and no one is spared.
Time passes day by day.
Zhang Die waited for the song of the fifth episode of Red Duck.
"You Once".
When Zhang Die saw this song, it had already become a hit on domestic music software and directly ranked second on the hot song list.
Number one on the hot song list: Han Zhou’s “Kill That Changshan Man.”
No. 2 on the Hot Songs List: "You Once Upon a Time" by Red Duck
Third, Red Duck "Blue Lotus"
8. Red Duck "Ordinary Road"
After listening to "You in the Past", Zhang Die burst into tears.
Liu Yanzhou couldn't hold it in anymore this time, as if this song was sung for the three of them.
Wei Chengan was as speechless as usual and cried very quietly.
At this time, the "Summer of Idols" production crew arrived in the Banana Kingdom.
Zhang Die is very cautious when facing the camera.
The executive director asked: "You are the most controversial group in China recently. You were once popular, but because of your lack of business proficiency, you were scolded and blackened by the entire network."
"Then he went to Banana Country and covered his own song 'Wrong, Wrong, Wrong'. It became a hit in Banana Country and all over China."
"Many people think that you are just making a fool of yourself, and that you are not afraid to be a clown just to make money. Do you dare to attend "Summer of Idols" this time?"
Zhang Die nodded: "We will participate."
Executive Director: "So, aren't you afraid of the scolding from netizens?"
Zhang Die: "We have no future. We came to the Banana Country because we can make a little money here to make up for the company's losses. The company will continue to release songs for us. We want to sing and we want to be idols."
Executive Director: "Netizens generally doubt your professional ability. Do you think you can be an idol?"
Zhang Die: "My senior at the company, Brother Han Zhou, once said that things are done by doing, not by talking."
Executive Director: "If you go there, you will be the group with the worst expectations and image among all the idols participating in the early stage. Is this acceptable?"
Zhang Die: "A competition is a competition. It doesn't matter who is stronger or weaker before it starts. We are waiting to see who will be the real idol by the end of this summer."
The initial interview of "Summer of Idol" was posted on the Internet and was met with a barrage of criticism.
Anyone who sees HNT will step on it.
"What kind of rural agricultural heavy metal group?"
"In order to make money, it doesn't matter if you get scolded?"
“This might be the most famous idol group in the country right now, right?”
"Except for those who came back from South Korea, are there so many idols in the country now to organize a program? But after seeing HNT, I feel that the future of this program is worrying."
"Summer of Idols" is about to begin preparations. The success of this show will not only determine the future of Chinese entertainment, but also the future of New World and Han Zhou.
This time the recording is the first unveiling, followed by sixty days of training, and then the recording begins one episode at a time, starting from the end of the college entrance examination until the first week of the new semester.
The total duration was one hundred and fifty days.
Currently, there are 17 entertainment companies participating, led by New World, Tianle, Mailang, and Universal China, and all of them are broadcast on Penguin Video.
However, while preparing for the recording of the pilot, Han Zhou also had to do one thing, which was to prepare for the recording of the sixth episode of "The Voice of Dark Gold".
By the fifth episode, the ratings of Dark Gold Voice had reached 3.24, surpassing the original "Real Challenge" and becoming the highest-rated variety show in the past two years.
After the resignation trilogy "Ordinary Road", "Blue Lotus" and "You Once" were all released, the popularity of the Red Duck has reached an explosive level.
This time, Redskin Ducks fans are looking forward to the performance of the Redskin Ducks in the sixth issue.
Because, in the sixth issue, the Red Duck drew a very abstract topic.
【Complete the creation in one day】
" The day before the show starts, your opponent will assign you a topic, and you will have to complete it."
If this was thought up by netizens, it would be weird. It must have been posted by the program production team for people to vote on.
It's obvious that the production team has now figured out how to play the game.
After three powerful singers lost to the Redskin Ducks one after another, the Redskin Ducks became extremely popular.
Therefore, in these few episodes, we are unable to invite very powerful singers, so we try to give the Red Ducks as many difficult questions as possible to increase the audience's interest in watching.
Han Zhou also wanted to know who his opponent was and what questions he would ask.
One day, it seems, is enough.
