Chapter 700 Invitation to the NBA scene
Liu Qingshan laughed and said: "Everyone has been a clown who collapsed one night. You imagine yourself as a clown in a pantomime, telling the sadness behind the smile. The little characters portrayed are ordinary but want to be extraordinary, but there is no such thing as ordinary people.
The more bitter you are, the more miserable you will be, and the more depressed you will be."
Eason Chan seemed to have found the sense of the picture all of a sudden, and the fear on his face really relaxed a lot, and he had the desire to try it out again.
But the other person's words continued: "The difficulty of this song has already determined that you are unlikely to sing it often in the future. The shortcoming of your voice condition is that it is not transparent enough. It is a typical closed-throat singing method. The high notes are focused but
You lack a sound foundation, so the width is insufficient, so you need to open your voice thoroughly before singing this song, so it is not easy for you to come into contact with this song for the first time today!"
Bennington took over: "Your advantage lies in your own timbre, which is very comfortable to listen to and has a sense of eloquence. Sing this song until your voice is hoarse and the veins on your neck are about to pop out. This is the feeling you should have."
.The kind of envy, jealousy and hatred that is so arrogant in the heart cannot be expressed vividly otherwise."
Compared with Liu Qingshan's interpretation, his reinterpretation is closer to the understanding of rock singing skills. It may not be professional, but it describes the roughness of the song well, which makes it easier for Chen Yixun to accept it.
Of course, this does not mean that Liu Qingshan's words are too orthodox. He is analyzing the technical issues of vocal cords. Bennington prefers the simple, powerful and straightforward expression of rock music. It is about a kind of musical understanding. The emphasis of the two is
different.
Although Chen Yixun only received professional vocal training after participating in singing competitions, he is naturally a master of using breath, so that he can fully develop his voice and have the ability to sing melody stably.
This voice is the only timbre that can reflect the singer's personality. His breath control is particularly obvious when singing slow songs. In addition to his excellent qualities, he also has extremely superb skills. His hoarse timbre has countless subtle and appropriate changes.
Therefore, based on the different interpretations of the two people, he could quickly find something more suitable for him. When he sang it for the second time, he made obvious progress. He changed from the previous rigidity and bitterness, and the thickness of his vocal cords immediately became
Much richer.
However, because it was a trial singing, the extremely difficult "NO" sound in the most exciting part of the song was not tested on the spot. It was not that his current ability was not up to par, but that it was extremely harmful to his vocal cords and that he did not truly master the song.
It is absolutely difficult to achieve the best effect.
But even so, this song "Exaggerated" is already an excellent song among classics. Almost everyone looked at him with eyes full of envy.
Because they all understand in their hearts the importance of having a classic masterpiece. This is what Liu Qingshan said before about becoming a god with one song. You don’t need too many high-quality songs like this. Even if a professional singer only has one song in his life, it still doesn’t matter.
Enough to keep the music scene going for a long time.
Especially Chen Jiaying, although her understanding of music theory is not high, her career as a professional manager is impressive. Whether it is Chen Baiqiang or Faye Wong, they are both top stars in the music industry. Of course she can distinguish between the quality and classics of a song.
degree.
Therefore, when others admired Chen Yixun, she cast a grateful look at Liu Qingshan, because she knew very well that Chen Yixun only needed to own this song, and his first album after his comeback would definitely establish a new relationship with it.
His status in the music industry will be no surprise.
And she herself also has the status of being the manager of three generations of singers in Hong Kong, which naturally establishes her supreme status among professional managers.
And she also knew that Liu Qingshan's purpose of signing Chen Yixin was not purely for commercial interests, but it also meant that the latter's rapid development period was coming soon.
Liu Qingshan didn't pay much attention to this, because at this time he was answering the call from Tracy.
"Things have changed. According to news from the variety show department of FOX Broadcasting Company in New York, some people's plan for you to promote Hollywood in that "Talent Show" fell through because FOX executives held an internal meeting specifically for this purpose. Due to "
Due to word-of-mouth issues in the first season of "Got Talent", they decided not to allow advertising content to appear in the final stage, so they rejected the Screen Actors Guild's request!"
"Haha, Aunt Tracy, you must have let it slip this time. Before, you refused to admit that you were speaking for the Screen Actors Guild!"
"Don't be complacent. It's revealed that they were the request of others, and you thought you got rid of a trouble? Someone immediately made another request, that is, let you represent the Screen Actors Guild to participate in an NBA professional league.
Live guests.”
After hearing these words, Liu Qingshan's mood obviously changed: "Is the Screen Actors Guild overdue? I don't owe them anything, so why should they order me around? Going to the NBA site? This trip
Arrange for me to refuse!”
"Don't worry!" Tracy seemed to have predicted that he would express his dissatisfaction. "Don't refuse in a hurry. This time the competition will not let you go to other cities, but in Los Angeles.
, and the two participating teams are the Rockets playing against the Lakers away from home, and your fellow countryman Yao Ming is here. If you go to support him, it will definitely have a sensational effect, including in your home country, and it will definitely be the front page headlines throughout March!"
"Dayao's Rockets? Then tell me first, what are the requirements of the Screen Actors Guild?"
"This time there are no obvious advertising requirements, and you will even be offered an advertising fee of three million. You only need to accept the status of a promotional ambassador for a Hollywood movie!"
"Why is there a notification fee this time? Is there a reason why they are so kind this time?"
"That's for sure. You didn't have to pay fees on "Talent Show" before because that show was originally planned by you, and FOX helped you pay for it, but this time it's different. Your fees are
The Actors Guild pays for it, and of course they get a commission from the commercials for the competition, which is said to be quite a lot!"
"Then why pay me extra? What's the point if I go or not?"
"But the NBA operator has made a request and needs your appearance, which is also part of the advertising commission. But you don't have to be dissatisfied that you are being used, because since I agreed on your behalf, you will definitely be there.
benefit!"
"Have you already agreed for me?"
"The announcement fee of three million is just superficial. The meeting of the two most representative international superstars in your country is the highlight, and this matter has been approved by your Chinese embassy in advance, and they will help you undertake part of it.
Hollywood movie promotion mission!”
"Oh? So, my status as a publicity ambassador this time is not a one-time thing?"
"You are really smart. You can immediately guess the meaning hidden in the depths! The Hollywood Hills have never given such a title to anyone other than an old American artist. You are the first one. There are
The meaning of "people-to-people exchange ambassador" is to promote further cooperation in entertainment industry business projects between the two countries, and the term is tentatively scheduled for one year."
"I can accept more than this amount for any advertisement or endorsement. The price is clearly marked on the bulletin board of the Screen Actors Guild. Are they trying to exploit my labor force?"
"As expected, you are always shrewd. The three million is just the cost of your announcement this time. In order to compensate for the loss of your endorsement, the Screen Actors Guild helped you get a big contract. Nike sportswear will start at least three years.
For the general endorsement in Greater China, the specific endorsement fee needs to be discussed with your agency team in person!"
Liu Qingshan's eyes lit up. Nike has many spokespersons in Greater China, but there is only one general spokesperson. Although this contract sounds far less loud than Prada's global general spokesperson, the spokespersons of this brand have always been sports stars.
As an actor, it would be different enough for him to do it.
Moreover, sports stars have far more opportunities to showcase their brands than he does as an outsider. Nike chose him, which is already a very special treatment.
The key is that Nike's origin is in the United States, and this country's sports industry is extremely developed, so a long-term contract of more than three years can easily cost hundreds of millions. If he can sign it, it will be the highest among existing endorsement projects.
of income.
He is considered a wealthy man now, but he still has many projects that require investment. Making announcements too frequently is not his intention, and will also greatly affect the rapid development of his main business.
Therefore, the second reason Tracy mentioned undoubtedly hit his weak point, and also indirectly proved that the other party was right to help him with his next life.
"Thank you Aunt Tracy, this endorsement opportunity is indeed very important to me!"
Cui Xi said cheerfully: "Don't you blame me for making the decision for you without permission? I also think this endorsement is more reliable than any reason, and I know that the competition for this total endorsement position is quite fierce, so I agreed to it for you.
!But the contract between you two has not been signed yet, there is still room for maneuver, and during the game, they made it clear that you still have to show your strength!"
"That amount of money is not a small amount, and it will be of great help to my project funding. As long as the conditions are not excessive, I can still agree."
In fact, he already had some guesses in his mind. It was just that the on-site host would encourage him to do some demonstrations of his abilities, such as shooting, dunking, etc. Songs and dances were a bit too ordinary and had little to do with basketball events.
He is quite looking forward to meeting Yao Ming. The little giant is currently suffering from constant injuries. With the ups and downs of the Rockets' performance, various outside discussions have been flying all over the sky.
He is one of the people Liu Qingshan pays close attention to, and it has always been his wish to help him completely heal his injuries, but the premise is that the other party has obvious injuries.
Yao Ming had his first ankle bone spur surgery at the end of last season. The unplanned rest opportunity he received also allowed him to improve his personal skills in the summer for the first time since landing in the NBA.
At the same time, through the summer of recuperation after surgery, his physical fitness has been better reserved. As one of his fans, Liu Qingshan has actually never stopped following him.
