1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 6 Audition, meeting Jiang Wen for the first time!

Confucius said: "If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools."

Sun Wukong, who has learned seventy-two transformations, went to the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea to snatch the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in order to have a handy weapon, let alone the fledgling Jiang Xiaofeng?

Since Jiang Xiaofeng has planned to transform into a singer-songwriter, he naturally cannot live without a decent musical instrument. With his current financial strength, he cannot afford a piano. The only instrument that is affordable, practical, and easy to learn is probably the guitar.

Soon, Jiang Xiaofeng found out from her neighbors that the Xinghai Music Store in Dong'anmen was an old state-owned store that was well-known at home and abroad, so she wanted to buy an entry-level guitar and come back to learn from it.

The next day, early morning.

The bleary-eyed Jiang Xiaofeng got up and practiced morning exercises as usual, and then went to the public toilet to fill the chamber pot with other neighbors who had just woken up.

After washing up, Jiang Xiaofeng went to a nearby breakfast shop and ordered two fried dough sticks, two meat buns, and a portion of soy milk.

After eating and drinking, Jiang Xiaofeng walked on the road, preparing to go to the bus station to catch the bus.

When passing a newsstand, Jiang Xiaofeng saw a newspaper advertising that the "Sunny Day" crew was recruiting actors.

In order to find suitable actors, director Jiang Wen placed advertisements in the Yanjing Evening News and Xinmin Evening News, searching for people nationwide. In addition to two actors who looked like him, he also needed to find several young people with personality.

of actors and actresses.

In Jiang Xiaofeng's past life memory, Jiang Wen was a very awesome director, and "Sunny Days" was also a very awesome movie.

However, Jiang Xiaofeng knew that he didn't look like Jiang Wen, but he was just 18 years old this year. He was definitely young and had personality. He should be qualified to interview for other roles.

Soon, Jiang Xiaofeng followed the address in the newspaper and arrived at the audition location for "Sunny Days".

The audition took place in a courtyard in Prince Gong's Mansion. Because he arrived early, there were not many actors who came to audition. Jiang Xiaofeng didn't prepare anything. When he saw an actor coming out, he opened the door and went in directly.

When Jiang Wen saw Jiang Xiaofeng entering the room, he was also stunned. He thought, why did a bald man come in?

This was the first time Jiang Xiaofeng saw Jiang Wen himself in reality, and he couldn't help but take a second look.

In Jiang Xiaofeng's view, Jiang Wen looked a bit like a Yuanmou man. He had a pair of provocative ears, small eyes, and his whole face showed a rough temperament. Coupled with his tall and strong figure, he looked very aura.

Next to Jiang Wen was Er Yong, the production director of "Sunny Days". Er Yong's father was the famous actor Zhang Yongshou of the Bayi Film Studio, and he was also the handsome camp commander in the movie "The Northern and Southern War".

long.

Jiang Wen saw that Jiang Xiaofeng was empty-handed and seemed unprepared, but he also guessed that he was an actor who came to audition, so he immediately said, "You're all here, please introduce yourself."

Hearing Jiang Wen's words, Jiang Xiaofeng nodded and said politely: "Hello director, hello producer. My name is Jiang Xiaofeng. I am 18 years old. I am here to audition for a role."

Jiang Wen nodded, looked at Jiang Xiaofeng's bald head, smiled and joked: "Brother, where is your hair? Why did you lose it so young?"

Jiang Xiaofeng touched his head and replied: "Director, I am not losing my hair. I am shaving my hair. I used to be a Shaolin Temple monk."

Jiang Wen smacked his lips, and then asked: "Can your hair grow back again?"

Jiang Xiaofeng said firmly: "Of course it can!"

Jiang Wen suddenly became curious about Jiang Xiaofeng's identity and asked dubiously: "Are you really a monk from Shaolin Temple?"

Jiang Xiaofeng explained dumbfounded: "Director, you misunderstood, I am not a monk, I am a warrior monk, a lay disciple of the Shaolin Temple."

Jiang Wen said with great interest: "Shaolin's lay disciples are also warrior monks, so let's show them to us."

"Okay!" Jiang Xiaofeng didn't hesitate. He simply warmed up his body first, and then performed his best drunken fist in front of Jiang Wen and production director Er Yong.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng practiced routines in the Shaolin Temple, an expert would know once he made a move, Jiang Xiaofeng was indeed able to perform well.

Jiang Wen and Er Yong saw that Jiang Xiaofeng had two skills.

However, what made Jiang Wen interested in Jiang Xiaofeng was not his Drunken Master or his status as a warrior monk.

What really made Jiang Wen interested in him was his appearance, figure, and masculine temperament, which looked a bit like a stubborn man he knew when he was a child.

Perhaps because he has practiced martial arts since childhood, Jiang Xiaofeng looks very masculine and has very good energy.

Jiang Wen turned around and asked Er Yong on the side: "Do you think it looks like it?"

Er Yong nodded understandingly: "It's a bit similar!"

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't understand who he looked like, but he was 250% sure that he didn't look like Jiang Wen. He felt that he was much more handsome than Jiang Wen.

After Jiang Wen pondered for a moment, he said: "Okay, monk, please leave your name and your home phone number. When there is a situation, we will notify you as soon as possible."

Jiang Xiaofeng casually patted the dust on his clothes and replied: "Director, I don't have a phone at home!"

Jiang Wen said: "Then you can just write down your home address."

"Okay." After saying that, Jiang Xiaofeng wrote down his name and current address for Jiang Wen on a piece of paper.

However, Jiang Xiaofeng didn't think he had a chance. He came here purely to try his luck. It would be best if he could be selected, but he would be fine if he couldn't. After all, he was not an actor with a professional background.

After leaving the crew of "Sunny Days", Jiang Xiaofeng spent 5 cents on a bus and went to Xinghai Music Store to buy a classical guitar.

When asked about the price of 138 yuan, Jiang Xiaofeng returned home disappointed, then went to a small music store and spent 30 yuan to buy a second-hand red cotton guitar.

In order to save some tuition, Jiang Xiaofeng spent 1 yuan at a used bookstall on the roadside and bought two books, "Modern Rock Guitar Textbook" and "Composition Method".

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't know music music at first and didn't know anything else. He started by learning simple musical notation by himself, and then learned how to compose music.

The book "Modern Rock Guitar Textbook" contains not only five-line notation, but also six-line notation. It is full of heavy metal guitar tabs.

Jiang Xiaofeng had a red cotton guitar and couldn't learn it at all. He simply didn't read the textbook and just pondered it by himself in the rented house, trying to find the feeling while playing.

The neighbor who lives in the room next to Jiang Xiaofeng is a college graduate. Although no one wants to know his name, in order to facilitate communication between neighbors and because he has shaved his head, everyone calls him "Shortcut."

.

And because Jiang Xiaofeng came from the Shaolin Temple and had a bald head, he looked like a monk, so everyone called him a monk.

Jiang Xiaofeng was very fortunate that he was only called "monk" and was not called bald like a shaved head.

I came to Yanjing to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination at Yanjing University. I hardly left home every day, reading and studying in my room.

But since Jiang Xiaofeng came back from buying a guitar, he has been annoyed and agitated by the noise Jiang Xiaofeng made all day long.

It was fine for one day or two, but after a few days, I wanted to get angry several times. But seeing that Jiang Xiaofeng was tall and strong, he swallowed his anger and suggested in a low voice: "Monk, do me a favor, can you do it during the day?"

Try to go out and play guitar?”

"If you do this every day, I really can't study. Really, please..."

Jiang Xiaofeng was still very reasonable. After knowing that his guitar playing caused a disturbance to his flat head while he was studying, he agreed without saying a word.

In the following days, Jiang Xiaofeng reduced the time he spent playing guitar at home. Most of the time, he went outside the courtyard to practice the piano.

The landlords of this large courtyard are a couple whose son is in his third year of high school. Pingtou has always had a wish to tutor their son in his homework and earn some living expenses and rent for himself.

But as Ping Tou was about to take the college entrance examination, his wish to tutor the landlord's son never came true.

Because the landlord's son has positioned himself for the future and is still a landlord like his parents.

The landlord's son's name was Xiao Li. After understanding Ping Tou's thoughts, Xiao Li sneered at Ping Tou and said, "In the future, I will rely on this yard and rent the house to people like you. It's enough for me to go to university! I have enough food."

Hold on!"

Perhaps because they were close in age, Xiao Li and Jiang Xiaofeng had the same chemistry. Not only did they clamor to learn martial arts from Jiang Xiaofeng, they also asked his parents for money, bought a guitar, and went to Jiang Xiaofeng's house to compete on the piano.

Although Xiao Li's academic performance is not very good, he is also a music lover. He often takes the tape recorder at home to Jiang Xiaofeng's house to enjoy and talk about music with Jiang Xiaofeng.

Like most Beijing boys, Xiao Li also likes rock music. I used to think that he liked the band Black Panther.

It wasn't until Dou Wei left the Black Panthers that Xiao Li realized that what he liked was not the Black Panthers, but the Black Panthers with Dou Wei in them. He especially liked the two songs "Shameless" and "Don't Break My Heart" written and sung by Dou Wei.

Classic songs.

In fact, the matter of bands changing musicians and lead singers is not new in the world, but most of them can't get around it: "inability to produce songs, inconsistent ideas, over-reliance on someone, uneven income distribution, and insufficient time".

reason.

Although it is common for a band to change its name but only its singer, it is still new in the world for a band as famous as Black Panther, the "big brother of Chinese rock music", to change the lead singer of "Liu Shui".

In their 7th year of formation, the Black Panther Band recruited a new lead singer Qin Yong. This is the fourth lead singer of the Black Panthers, but the musicians are still the same members. According to public information, the band’s previous fixed lead singers are:

:

Ding Wu(1987-1988)

Dou Wei(1988-1991)

Luan Shu(1992-1993)

Qin Yong(1993-)

If this trend continues, maybe one day in the future, "Black Panther and the lead singer" will become the most topical meme in the rock music world.
