011 Elopement
Gao Yalin is not only the starring and supporting role in this drama, but also one of the deputy directors of this drama. He is already at his thirty and has been considering his future path. They are in Xu Wei’s bar today, in order to find scenes to play supporting roles with a rock singer.
When he got this script, the first thing he thought of was Xia Yu. As the Venetian movie hero, Xia Yu has not filmed many movies in the past two years and is very good at choosing scripts. He was worried that he had taken too many messy scripts to ruin his reputation. He agreed to this script when he saw the first version. In order to better express the story, he took the initiative to help him select actors in the Yanjing circle.
Gao Yalin and the others asked Qin Yu to play a supporting role in the play, Xia Yu's brother, a singer in an underground band. These were nothing, but Gao Yalin suggested that in order to distinguish this character from another character, he needed to wear a wig for Qin Yu.
Qin Yu hesitated a little, but finally agreed.
Before Qin Yu was sixteen years old, he had four or sixteenth-quarter hair. If the school teacher did not allow it, he wanted to leave it to his neck. But after seeing Qin Ming commit suicide in the bathtub, he cut it and cut it flat. Because he didn't want to see his father's shadow in the mirror and see the bright red blood when he was looking in the mirror.
More than three years of college career have taught him to adjust his psychology. He has an elective course in the performance major, "Psychology of Performance". Qin Yu can get the highest score every time. Many other students think he is a pervert. He told his classmates that learning this course is conducive to his analysis of the characters' psychology in the script. In fact, he is adjusting his psychology based on this course.
Qin Yu looked at Zhang Xinyi, who was joking with Yuan Quan and secretly paying attention to this place, and suggested to Gao Yalin: "Old Gao, Brother Xia, there must be other characters in your play. Let me arrange one for me so that she can also benefit from it."
Hearing Qin Yu's proposal, Zhang Xinyi's eyes lit up, she sat up straight and faced the two of them.
Qin Yu joked to Zhang Xinyi: "Brother, be careful of your mentality and don't be so jealous of gains and losses. It's good. Senior Brother Xia will definitely not forget our junior brothers and sisters."
Zhang Xinyi also took the opportunity to pick up the wine glass: "Senior Brother Xia, I wish you."
Xia Yu had no choice but to drink one with Zhang Xinyi, then pointed at Qin Yu and said speechlessly: "You, you have not yet confirmed it, but you have started to ask for roles for others."
"Haha, I don't care. If I don't have a chance, I will sing. At worst, I can change my career and become a singer, the same goes for it."
At this time, Xu Wei greeted in the yard: "Qin Yu, come and sing a song."
"Well, you go and sing one, it's also our try-in drama for you."
"I have to pay for singing, and I have to rely on this to make a living."
Qin Yu's miserable behavior was not paid attention to by many people, but instead attracted a bunch of melon seed shells.
Maybe Qin Yu is usually careless, but when he comes to the stage, his temperament changes. He respects and even awesome, no matter big or small stages. In addition to this being his main source of income, more importantly, only awe can he be afraid. Whether he is a singer or an actor, only those who have awe of the stage will respect the stage and can go further. Those who are careless will never get the recognition of the audience.
Qin Yu stood in the lead singer's position, and Xu Wei personally gave him the rhythm guitar. The band that was originally idle in the house also took their own positions and cheered up.
"Uncle Xu, Blue Lotus, backing track (get an accompaniment)."
"Go to you, don't give me a complete English." After saying that, Xu Wei still played the rhythm according to Qin Yu's request.
“Nothing can stop it
Your yearning for freedom
A wild career
Your heart is full of worries
Through the dark years
I've also felt confused
When you bow your head
I realized the way under my feet
…”
Qin Yu's singing is a bit different from Xu Wei. "Blue Lotus" sung by Xu Wei is gentle and clean, and uses his low and hoarse voice to tell a kind of nostalgia, a kind of reluctance, a kind of helplessness and hopelessness. This is related to his past full of vicissitudes of life.
Qin Yu's voice was clearer. He had been practicing morning skills for a long time in the Central Academy of Drama, and he was more penetrating. He had a kind of hope and yearning in his singing.
"Okay!" Xia Yu and the others applauded and applauded.
Some customers who were leisurely wandering by the Houhai in the afternoon came to the vicinity and heard the sound to cheer for Qin Yu's performance. Qin Yu also thanked the surroundings without any modesty.
"One more." Some of the requests of some of them were echoed by many people.
"Qin Yu, let's have another song?" As the boss, Xu Wei must have hoped that the business would be prosperous and proposed to Qin Yu.
"Uncle Xu, I borrowed a guitar. I have always had some melody in my mind recently. Today I can see if I can write it out."
Since the last time he was knocked on his head, Qin Yu always felt that some musical melodies would pop up from time to time, including rock and folk songs, which made him think that his head was sick. In the end, he didn't have any additional harm to his body, so he could only summarize it and burst out inspiration.
"Oh, there is actually a new song. I need to listen to it carefully today."
Xu Wei took an electric guitar from the room and gave it to him. Ordinary guitarists would not lend him their hands. Maybe others would not touch your guitar buttons or syllables, but they would always feel a little awkward, as if the guitar you used to play was as if it was impure if it passed other people's hands. Qin Yu was the same. He didn't even let Qin Lan touch the guitar left to him.
This is a new guitar. Qin Yu tried it after powering on, and the tone was OK. Although he had been playing guitar with Qin Ming since he was five or six years old, he had never really learned music theory and could only play the music in his heart.
Qin Yu also has his own characteristics. He has a great memory and will never make a mistake he made for the first time. So he completed this song in the surprised eyes of Xu Wei and others from curiosity to ignoring and then paying attention.
"Brother Li, give me a drum beat according to this rhythm." Qin Yu marked the rhythm on a blank score. When he just heard him test the song, several members of the band had roughly had a rhythm.
In rock music, drums can be said to be the skeleton of a piece of music. It can adjust the rhythm of the entire piece through different drum beats, so that the guitar, bass and keyboard can find their own position.
When the drum beat sounded, Qin Yu began to play out his already formed music, and then began to sing the song in his mind:
"Dedicate your youth to the glorious city behind you
We pay the price for this dream
Leave love to the most sincere girl around me
You sing with me, you sing with me, you hang with me, both sides are hurt
It wasn't until now that I suddenly realized that I had always dreamed of
…”
When Qin Yu sang the first two lines, as a senior in the rock industry, Xu Wei knew that the quality of this song was definitely not the venting work of those underground bands who complained without any illness.
In the past, many of the songs Qin Yu sang were written by him, but in Xu Wei's opinion, most of them were the unrestrained emotions, and only youth and no life. Qin Yu was still young and had not experienced the experience of life, all thanks to his voice with passionate roar. But this song is different. First of all, he is not heavy metal rock. Light rock with a very similar style to Xu Wei's "Blue Lotus" and pays more attention to the meaning of the lyrics and music, which is more touching.
“…
My dream is true love and freedom
I want to take you to elope to the farthest town
Want to take you to elope and be the happiest person
…”
In the later part of the chorus, Qin Yu made some mistakes and raised a key, which caused him to almost roar in the end, almost breaking the sound. However, the shock brought by this was even stronger, and he fully expressed the indomitable yearning for freedom in the song.
"Play..."
Not only Xu Wei, but also the band members, Xia Yu, Gao Yalin, Zhang Xinyi and others were shocked by this song so much that they recovered for a long time before applauding and cheering.
"Brother, you are so awesome." Xia Yu stood up and shouted directly from the booth, then hugged Yuan Quan who was standing with him and kissed him: "I want to marry you, I want to elope with you..."
Yuan Quan was stunned. Although the two had been dating formally since 1999 and were rated as the Golden Boy and Jade Girl group by the entertainment industry, this was the first time Xia Yu proposed to marry him.
Xia Yu also felt that he had just been overjoyed. He was embarrassed to watch Yuan Quan, so he came out of the booth, came to Qin Yu, and picked him up: "Brother, this song is great, so just use it as the theme song of our movie."
As a good friend, Gao Yalin helped to smooth things over. He also came out of the booth and handed each of them a bottle of beer: "Qin Yu, this song is good. If you want, we can pay your copyright fee to ensure you are satisfied."
Qin Yu looked at Xu Wei, hoping that he could help come up with ideas. Although he was very familiar with Xia Yu and Gao Yalin, he used to be friends with wine and drinks, and never worked together. He was always on guard against others. He still believed in these old relationships left by Qin Ming. After all, these people are old people who have been famous for a long time, and I believe they will not cheat him in this regard.
Xu Wei said: "Qin Yu, this song is of good quality. I suggest you release a single and then authorize them to make interludes or theme songs. The authorization can cost between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan. You have to talk to the producer."
"Okay, just listen to you." Qin Yu nodded and said to Gao Yalin: "Old Gao, I will re-compile the song in the past two days, improve it, and then find a shed to record it. Do you think this is OK? As for the authorization fee, just follow what Uncle Xu said, and you can watch it."
Gao Yalin nodded: "Okay, I'm going to talk to the producer when you get the finished product out, and I will definitely help you talk about a high price."
Qin Yu, please help Xu Wei contact the recording studio, and prepare to contact Chen Qiang and the others in the next few days, and take time to rehearse the accompaniment.
Gao Yalin and the others saw that the goal had been achieved today and the weather was still early, so they made an appointment to sign a contract with the company tomorrow.
Yuan Quan and Gong Beiluo were preparing to go to Wangfujing Department Store for a walk, and the seasons were changed soon. They were going to buy a few seasons for clothing. Xia Yu was taken away by Gao Yalin. They had to go to other places to inspect the venue today, which was what he, the deputy director, should do.
Zhang Xinyi politely declined Yuan Quan's invitation and stayed with Qin Yu in the bar. It was not until after six o'clock that he and Xu Wei and the others confirmed the accompaniment.
"Uncle Xu, have dinner together tonight?" Qin Yu put away the music score and invited Xu Wei.
Xu Wei declined: "No need, there are still customers coming later, so you can go and have a meal."
Qin Yu and Zhang Xinyi left the bar together. The sunset had already sunk, and the lights on both sides of Houhai had already lit up, illuminating the weeping willows by the lake.
"I'll treat you to dinner today, thank you for helping me get a role."
"Ah, really? Then I have to think about what to eat." After saying that, Qin Yu ignored Zhang Xinyi's expression of annoyance and took him to a time-honored hotel next to Houhai.
Today, for Zhang Xinyi, she missed a female supporting role in a TV series and won a female supporting role in a movie. Although she is also a supporting role, for these actors from the Central Academy of Drama, the movie star is still a little higher than the TV star.
So today Zhang Xinyi generously proposed to invite Qin Yu to dinner, and Qin Yu turned directly into Tongheju. Qin Yu also kept talking: I have been greedy for the "Tongheju" Sanbujie, but today I found a sucker.
Chapter completed!
