Chapter 22: Baibaibai

"Big Fish" is the song Luo Mo has currently decided upon.

This song is one of the representative works of the Singer Zhou Shen, and it was precisely by relying on this song that he fought a beautiful comeback battle.

In his early days, Zhou Shen actually had experience singing on the internet, which is somewhat similar to Tong Shu.

But he only truly became known to more people after participating in the first season of "The Voice of China".

The subsequent seasons of "The Voice of China" were actually not as explosive; even with the support of Zhou Jielun, they could not return to the glory of the past.

But it must be said that the first season of "The Voice of China" could be called popular across the length and breadth of the country.

Zhou Shen took the stage on this program with the song "Joyful Face," making both the audience and the mentors incredibly surprised, not believing that a man was singing.

This voice is peerless!

In later episodes of the program, he sang "Lake Baikal," which was equally stunning to the entire audience.

It is just a pity that he was still eliminated early on.

Strictly speaking, an androgynous voice is Zhou Shen's greatest characteristic, but in reality, that sense of etherealness, clarity, and his outstanding singing skills and emotion cannot be underestimated.

As everyone knows, "Left Finger Moon" is a song with ridiculously high singing difficulty, and during a Live Broadcast, the audience crazily requested this song; he said, "Actually, I don't really know how to sing this," and then he went ahead and sang it amazingly well!

The most terrifying thing is that he was sitting while singing it.

After leaving the stage of "The Voice of China," this short-statured Singer actually disappeared from the public eye for a long time.

His ability is not bad, but he needed a representative work recognized by the Masses.

"Big Fish" came into being at the right moment.

Therefore, when he later stepped onto the stage of the variety show "Singer," he chose to sing this song that caused a huge turning point in his star career.

Gao Xiaosong once made a statement saying that he went to Los Angeles to watch the recording of "Big Fish," and the producer, based on Zhou Shen's performance, decided on the spot to increase the difficulty of the song, changing the melody of the first line of the chorus to be three degrees higher, aiming straight for the clouds!

This decision scared everyone around him silly.

Then Zhou Shen tried it once, and hit the mark in one go!

He and this "Big Fish" are actually mutually fulfilling.

Luo Mo choosing this song is a huge opportunity for Tong Shu.

If he can truly interpret it well, after the program airs, his popularity will definitely skyrocket!

In reality, Luo Mo's true plan is that after "Creating Idols" ends, he wants to record a two-person version of "Big Fish" with Tong Shu.

Because he is very clear about the difficulty coefficient of this song, the other four teammates in the small group will mostly be unable to achieve that effect.

"Let's just use the first public performance to whet their appetites; there should be countless people looking forward to a duet version, right?" Luo Mo thought to himself.

He is best at whetting appetites.

Actually, he chose "Big Fish" for an even more special reason.

He intends to make a small attempt and a small innovation within this song.

He always remembers his original intention for participating in "Creating Idols."

For this reason, he does need to make some small changes to this song.

Luo Mo looked at the incredibly innocent Tong Shu before him and said sternly, "Tong Shu, this time I will prepare a song that can highlight your personal characteristics to the greatest extent."

"But, if this song wants to sing out that kind of atmosphere and that kind of feeling, it will be very, very difficult."

"And I can tell you the truth, our other four teammates cannot provide any help in this song; they will only become the green leaves to highlight you."

"I will be extra strict with you because your current singing skills, techniques, and emotional rendering are not up to standard."

"You need to be mentally prepared."

Hearing these words, Tong Shu only felt the pressure was so, so great.

In reality, in Luo Mo's view, this is also his test for his little brother.

A star career is not that easy to walk.

Heaven gave you talent, but if you do not cherish it well, it will likewise be taken back.

The hurdle has already been set; it just depends on whether he can take on the challenge.

"Thank you, Brother Mo," Tong Shu said, his face revealing a rare firmness.

"You're welcome," Luo Mo waved his hand, then said in the most serious tone in history, "Oh right, from now on, not only do you have to wash the dishes, but your daily yogurt must also be given to me to drink."

……..

……..

A day passed in a flash; the next day, the Diva Xu Chujing took the first-class cabin of an early flight and arrived at the location of the "Cat Demon" script reading session.

Once she arrived, the director and screenwriters of "Cat Demon" came up to greet her.

Admittedly, in the film circle, Xu Chujing could be said to have just stepped in with one foot, and her first work was still in preparation.

However, she is a Superstar, her own personal studio also has many popular artists under its banner, she holds a large amount of resources, and she even bought shares in a well-known film and television platform; she has enough energy in the entertainment industry.

For this "Cat Demon," she even personally invested 50 million.

Therefore, it would be strange if the director and screenwriters were not enthusiastic.

This sister can lead others to success!

"Director, screenwriters, has everyone arrived?" Xu Chujing asked; she had arrived right on time.

Actually, she had arrived at the location long ago, but she had sat in the nanny van for a while, closing her eyes to rest.

She hates being late and is not used to being early. Because if she goes too early, it is inevitable that before doing real work, many people will try to climb the social ladder with her.

"Everyone is here; everyone knows your personality, so the script reading session can start immediately," the director said with a smile.

In the whole room, only he could rely on his status as a well-known director to joke with Xu Chujing.

Walking into the room, Xu Chujing greeted everyone.

Especially those old Actors who were both virtuous and artistic, she bowed politely without the slightest air of arrogance.

The early stage of the script reading session went quite smoothly; except for the third female lead who could never quite grasp the character and frequently made mistakes in her understanding of the role, there were no other major problems.

In particular, Xu Chujing's performance made the director and screenwriter's eyes light up.

She pointed out a few small details in the script that she felt were not very logical, and after the director and screenwriter discussed them, they really felt it was better to change them.

In fact, before filming, changing the script is quite a normal thing. But during the filming process, unless an Actor has enough status or their performance is truly stunning, they might end up being hated for changing the script.

Because many big productions nowadays have high costs; if you delay for a day, it is equivalent to throwing a large amount of money down the drain.

Like many Hollywood blockbusters on Earth, they will set the filming schedule in advance, and even discuss during the preparation period which content to film seriously and which content to just mess around with, so as to save money when it is not enough.

And the illogical points Xu Chujing pointed out were mainly related to the Cat.

"It seems you have done a lot of homework recently," the director praised.

Xu Chujing shook her head.

She had indeed done a lot of homework; even though she had a mild allergy to cat fur, she had been trying to have close contact with cats, but it was all to no avail.

The real change happened after that dream!

It was as if she had suddenly reached enlightenment!

—A Cat should be like this!

She didn't even need to think: In this situation, what would the Cat Demon do?

She only needed to think: In this situation, what would I do?

The progress of the script reading session was fast and highly efficient. The main reason was that the lead actress, Xu Chujing, was in a very good state.

As for the male lead... this movie has no male lead.

A romantic subplot? Non-existent.

This is Xu Chujing's personal style; she is filming a "big heroine" movie, and it is a "big heroine" movie that does not take emotion as the main thread.

She personally detests some current TV dramas or movies that fly the banner of a "big heroine" only to end up back at tearing apart the "other woman" after filming back and forth.

To a certain extent, this kind of drama will also incite gender antagonism in society: Look, this man relied on his wife to make his fortune, yet he still goes out to cheat; he has a Maserati at home that he doesn't drive, but wants to go out and drive a piece of junk—men really are no good.

At this very moment, after closing the script, Xu Chujing put forward her final suggestion for modification.

This suggestion did not receive unanimous approval like the previous ones.

An old Actor felt that it was better the way it was in the script.

Finally, the director suggested: "Since the actors for this scene are all on set, why don't we rehearse it on the spot, try both versions, and see the effect."

"Sure," Xu Chujing nodded, and the others had no objections.

And during this rehearsal, everyone saw the change in Xu Chujing.

Even those old veterans in the film circle couldn't help but nod frequently.

"She must have put in a lot of hard work," the old veterans thought, and even a hint of appreciation appeared in their eyes.

The final result was that Xu Chujing's suggestion was more brilliant!

"Thank you for your hard work," Xu Chujing said to the actress over 70 who was acting opposite her.

The other party waved her hand and said with a smile: "I can tell, you came prepared this time!"

"Your expression, movements, and details are exactly the same as my Da Hei at home," she praised without reservation.

Xu Chujing was humble for a few words, but a thought that made her feel scared and even ashamed popped up in her heart: "What Da Hei cat, it's not the same at all; I am snow-white all over, without a single stray hair! Not one!"

As if this were her greatest pride!

This is also what the owner likes most about her!

"The illness is so severe," she frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and said in her heart.

In particular, she felt an extreme aversion to the emergence of thoughts similar to 【Owner】.

"However, looking at it now, this illness is not entirely a bad thing, is it?" Xu Chujing had unprecedented confidence in the movie "Cat Demon"!
