After "Drawing Heart" became popular, more and more film and television companies asked Fang Xing and Li Caiwei to sing film and television theme songs.
However, Fang Xing does not accept all projects, it still depends on whether these film and television dramas are capable.
To put it simply, if it looks like a theme song project for a bad movie, I won’t accept it.
Although on earth, there has always been a tradition of bad movies turning out to be great.
The so-called situation where a bad movie turns out to be a great comedy does indeed exist.
However, there is actually no causal relationship between bad movies and divine comedies.
As long as you think about it for a moment, you will find that the so-called bad movies are usually big-budget movies.
The real cause-and-effect relationship is not that a bad movie makes a great comedy, but that a big production makes a great comedy.
The investment in a big production is huge, so naturally more money is spent on theme songs.
You get what you pay for, that's a given.
In addition, big production represents not only money, but also the connections of investors, so that they can hire the strongest producers.
For example, "Chrysanthemum Terrace" and "Golden Armor".
These two songs, if it were a movie with a small investment, would definitely not be successful.
Therefore, big productions can get Divine Comedy.
Once this big production happens to be a bad movie, then there will be a phenomenon of a bad movie making a great comedy.
…
Now, Fang Xing doesn't know what will happen to Blue Star's "Liao Zhai: Painted Skin" after it is released.
However, from the perspective of actors, the female lead Zhou Wei is definitely a movie queen, while the male lead is also an actor who focuses on acting and rarely participates in variety shows to show his face.
Judging from the cast, I don’t know if it will be a hit, but it shouldn’t be too bad.
The trailer also performed very well in conjunction with "Drawing Hearts".
At least after watching this trailer, Fang Xing wanted to go to the cinema to watch it.
When Jade Bird Media was promoting the movie most intensely, "Drawing Heart" always occupied the number one spot on the hot song list, without giving SPK's new song a chance.
After "Painting Heart" dominated the charts for two and a half weeks, its popularity began to decline normally.
Even if the popularity starts to drop, according to this trend, it should still stay at the top of the hot song chart for a week.
However, SPK, which had been suppressed for more than two weeks, did not think so.
SPK fans have been burdened by "Drawing Hearts" for more than two weeks. It can be said that they have pent-up anger and nowhere to vent it.
One advantage of fans making lists is that they can move freely.
Unlike ordinary listeners who think a song is good, they just sign up for membership and play the song for a few days.
Therefore, the popularity value of a song will show a parabolic pattern under normal circumstances. After the popularity value reaches its peak, it will slowly fall back.
Especially for best-selling data, when most listeners have purchased it, the sales data will grow slower and slower.
It's different when fans are playing in the rankings. In the first few weeks, if you find that your opponent is too strong, you should just endure it and wait for the opponent's heat to pass before you try your best again.
When the popularity of "Hua Xin" reached the middle and later stages of the parabola, "Sexy" suddenly started to gain momentum.
Fans of SPK began to aggressively hit the charts, and the popularity of "Sexy" began to soar, with the popularity changing and showing an irregular curve.
"Sexy" took three days to overtake "Drawing Heart" again and returned to the top of the hot song list.
This time.
Chaoyin Culture did not buy out the manuscript anymore, saying that "Sexy" beat "Painting Heart" to top the hot song list.
However, fans couldn’t help themselves, so they boasted in various ways on Weibo and DouM short videos:
[Look, the one who laughs in the end is the real strength. 】
[I knew how SPK could lose to the theme song of a movie.]
[Comfortable. Fang Xing was so arrogant before, but now it’s better. No matter how arrogant he is, he is still defeated at Siqi’s feet.]
【When the tide goes out, you will know who is swimming in the fruit.】
[The era of SPK dominating the charts is here. What does "Nocturne" mean if it dominates the charts for four weeks? "Sexy" will let you know what horror is. 】
…
One month has passed since the finals of "Tomorrow's Stars".
After the finals, the members of the Flame camp all went their separate ways.
Some signed with a brokerage company, some returned to their original brokerage company, and some continued to study.
Fang Xing still has a good relationship with Lu Ming, Shao Yu, and Guo Keda.
Make time to get together every week.
Usually, it is Guo Keda, a socially awkward person, who is responsible for setting up the game.
Every weekend, Guo Keda would shout in the group:
Guo Keda: Come out and have a meal. A barbecue restaurant has opened in Xintiandi. It’s super delicious. Let’s go tomorrow night.
Guo Keda: The captain has already agreed to come out, so sign up quickly.
Fang Xing: When did I agree?
Guo Keda: How about agreeing now?
Fang Xing: Okay.
Shao Yu: I have work tomorrow. I may be a little late, but I will definitely arrive.
Lu Ming: I will participate too.
Guo Keda: Do you want me to bring some girls over?
Fang Xing: No!
Shao Yu: No!
Lu Ming: No!
…
Saturday night at 7pm.
Guo Keda booked a booth at the newly opened Gulu Barbeque in Donghai Xintiandi.
Fang Xing, Lu Ming arrived a few minutes after seven o'clock.
Shao Yu was half an hour late, and the three of them had already started eating.
Guo Keda ordered a beer, but he was the only one drinking it.
Fang Xing, Shao Yu, and Lu Ming only drank juice.
Guo Keda said while eating: "Captain, those guys from SPK put "Sexy" at the top of the hot song list yesterday, and fans started jumping on Weibo again."
Fang Xing didn't care about this, and replied casually: "I don't even read Weibo, they can make trouble no matter what they want."
Guo Keda responded: "That's right, "Drawing Heart" has already defeated SPK. Now crowdfunding and rankings are useless."
Lu Ming kept eating in silence and didn't say much.
Guo Keda bumped him with his arm and asked: "Where is Lu Ming? How are you? Have you signed a contract with the company?"
"Not yet...not yet." Lu Ming was not very interested.
"Is there a brokerage company looking for you?" Guo Keda asked.
"I have been approached by several companies, but I haven't decided yet whether to continue studying or sign with an agency." Lu Ming has never thought about this matter clearly.
He followed Fang Xing in "Star of Tomorrow" and reached the finals all the way, and won the team championship in the camp finals.
It is true that many brokerage companies came to him to negotiate contracts, but after all, he was not Fang Xing, and it was impossible for these brokerage companies to offer platinum contracts.
Being able to give him a high-level contract is already a sign of respecting him.
Moreover, he was still hesitating whether to follow Chen Chaonan's suggestion and go to Dongyin to learn falsetto tenor.
Guo Keda's character has always been straightforward, and he would not think about so many things. He said in a relaxed tone: "If you want to go to school, go to school. If you want to sign a company, then sign a company. Or if you sign a company, you can continue to go to school."
.”
It is true that you can continue to go to school if you sign with an agency, but the agency definitely hopes to make money first while his popularity is still there.
Therefore, if you really sign with a brokerage company, the company will definitely arrange a lot of work, and you will definitely not have time to prepare for the exam.
Fang Xing guessed the real worry in Lu Ming's heart: "You haven't thought about whether you want to specialize in the five sets of scales, right?"
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, obviously he was right.
Guo Keda's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "You haven't thought about this yet? What the PhD supervisor said is right. Your five groups of sounds are really nice. Since you have such talent, why don't you practice five groups?"
Lu Ming hesitated for a long time before sighing: "The elders in my family hope that I can become a tenor or baritone."
He has been hesitating about this matter since the first issue of "Tomorrow's Star" until now.
Because, this matter is not something he can do whatever he wants.
In fact, he comes from a musical family, and several elders in his family are engaged in vocal music.
Therefore, the elders in the family hope that he will successfully inherit the family heritage and achieve success in the field of vocal music.
He has always been carrying this expectation and persisting.
It is for this reason that he started studying music since he was a child, so he has a pretty good foundation.
In "Tomorrow's Star", one of the reasons why he was selected by Fang Xing was that his vocal foundation was really good.
Lu Ming has been very talented since he was a child. He has always been praised by the elders in his family and teachers at school.
However, when he reached the voice-changing stage at the age of twelve or thirteen, his voice did not change as much as expected, and his voice did not become thicker.
Not only that, his height and body shape were not up to expectations, resulting in insufficient breath volume.
By the time he was sixteen or seventeen, his voice still hadn't changed.
At that time, he had basically been pronounced to be unable to become either a tenor or a baritone.
The tenor's vocal range is usually C3 to C5, while the baritone's vocal range is A2 flat to A4 flat.
However, his breath volume is not enough, his voice is not thick enough, and his dominant vocal range is not at all in these two ranges.
Therefore, even though I have been practicing vocal music since I was a child, I have never been able to achieve results.
Therefore, the elders in the family were very disappointed with him.
Of course, his parents and elders still love him and his family is very happy.
However, the elders in the family no longer place their dreams on him in vocal music.
Although his parents and elders did not blame him, he knew in his heart that he had let his parents down.
For this reason, he has always disliked his own voice, and even has low self-esteem. He rarely shows off the five sets of super high notes.
When I was in school, I would get some strange looks because my voice was louder than other boys.
Over the years, he has been using a childish voice, pretending to be a deep voice, to sing four sets of scales, trying hard to become a tenor.
However, in this way, it is actually equivalent to giving up the characteristics of one's own voice and using one's own weaknesses to compete among the four most competitive male vocal groups. The results can be imagined.
For this reason, he never made any achievements in vocal music.
Until I met Fang Xing in "The Star of Tomorrow".
Every time Fang Xing performed on stage, five sets of high notes were assigned to him, without exception.
It is also because of these five high-pitched songs that he has gained great popularity.
However, he still couldn't pass the test in his heart.
He always hopes to be recognized by the elders in his family and hopes to become what they think he is.
at this time.
Inside Gulu Barbecue Restaurant, the song "There is Love in the World" rang out.
It was exactly the stage where Fang Xing, Lu Ming, and Shao Yu appeared on "Tomorrow's Star".
Since "Stars of Tomorrow" is still very popular, the TVs in many store halls will play songs from "Stars of Tomorrow" from time to time.
Fang Xing looked outside the cubicle, looked at the picture on the TV in the hall, and said, "Actually, you really don't need to be so entangled. Since you care so much about what your elders think, why don't you ask them?"
Guo Keda echoed: "Yes, just call back and ask if there is anything you can't ask about the family. Aren't they treating you badly?"
Lu Ming quickly shook his head: "No, the elders in my family are very good to me. In fact, I grew up in a very happy family, but I will never forget the way they looked at me when I was a child, that kind of earnest look, like
They put their dreams on me."
"What bullshit dream? No one has the responsibility to carry other people's dreams and move forward with a heavy burden. Even if they are your parents. Take your mobile phone, call them and tell them what you think." Guo Keda said directly.
Get started and grab Lu Ming's cell phone.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Lu Ming hurriedly grabbed the phone.
"Do you want to fight? If you don't want to fight, I will fight for you." Guo Keda has always been so straightforward. He never thinks too much and just does it when he has something to do.
Lu Ming hesitated for a while, then turned back to look at the TV screen in the hall, listening to his own five sets of super high-pitched singing. He finally plucked up the courage and took the phone: "Okay, I'll call."
He dialed his grandfather's phone number.
The phone was connected, and a rich and experienced voice came: "Lu Ming, have you eaten? Is it time to eat at this time?"
"Grandpa, I was having dinner with my friends, and suddenly I missed you, so I called you." Lu Ming began to talk about his family.
"You must remember to eat, be careful when eating, go out with friends, and try to drink as little as possible." The old man's advice came from the other end of the phone.
"I know." Lu Ming agreed.
"You don't usually call back at this time. What happened today?" The old man could feel his grandson's emotions.
"Grandpa, I want to ask you something." Lu Ming hesitated again and again, not knowing how to speak.
"If you have anything to say, have you spent all the money?" the old man asked.
"No, I just want to ask... have you and your parents watched the show I was on? It's the "Star of Tomorrow"." Lu Ming did not ask the last question directly, but started with the show.
The other end of the phone.
An energetic old man suddenly sat up from the sofa, picked up the remote control on the coffee table, turned down the TV volume, and muttered in his heart: Can you still hear it if the sound is turned down so low?
"Grandpa, forget it if you haven't seen it." Lu Ming wanted to back out again.
"Oh, that show. I've seen it. You performed well in it, and so did your teammates." The old man praised.
Lu Ming showed a surprised expression and asked, "Don't you think my singing is bad?"
The old man was very honest and commented: "I can't compare with your captain. Your captain is not normal. Many middle-aged singers are not at his level. However, you and the one named Shao Yu are not bad either. He is older than you."
How old are you? I'm a little more stable than you. However, your singing of the high voice is really good."
When Lu Ming heard this comment, his eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Grandpa, don't you object to me singing a falsetto tenor?"
The old man fell silent and asked doubtfully: "Why do you think so?"
"You... have always hoped that I would be a baritone or a tenor." Lu Ming's emotions fluctuated greatly.
"No one's life is destined from birth. If you like baritone and tenor, then you can practice it. However, whatever your success will be in the future, as long as you like it. If you like falsetto, then go and learn it.
.Grandpa never said that you must learn anything..."
When the old man said this, he was silent for a long time before adding: "Moreover, the doctoral supervisor at the Donghai Conservatory of Music is indeed right. Your falsetto tenor talent is very good. As long as you continue to practice, you will achieve higher than the tenor.
"
Lu Ming's breathing began to become rapid, and he asked in disbelief: "So, you agree that I will switch to falsetto tenor?"
"Since you were eighteen years old, grandpa has not asked you to do anything. As long as you like it, you can learn it. Why should you hesitate?" the old man encouraged.
"I know, I want to take the Dongyin Vocational Music major, and I want to sing a falsetto tenor." After Lu Ming learned about the thoughts of his elders in the family, he no longer hesitated and strengthened his mind.
Everyone enjoyed this meal very happily.
Helped Lu Ming untie a knot in his heart.
After Lu Ming hung up the phone, Shao Yu added: "Didn't you hear it?"
"What did you hear?" Lu Ming looked confused.
Shao Yu and Fang Xing looked at each other.
Fang Xing said: "You must be too nervous to talk to your elders on the phone. In fact, when the call was first connected, there was a piece of music coming from the other end. It was "Chi Ling".
"The sound was audible at first, but gradually became quieter. In other words, your grandfather was watching our program at the time and turned down the sound when he received the call."
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment.
He was on the phone with his elders, and what he was about to say was such a serious matter. He felt very anxious and had no intention of paying attention to the music coming from the other end of the phone.
