The singing echoed in the fifty-square-meter room.

There were scholars chatting and laughing, but no white people coming and going. This time around the dinner table, except for Zhang Rilong, were all star artists from famous schools.

In terms of music appreciation, these people all have a very good level, especially old teachers like Xia Xianzhi, who have contacts with many folk artists.

"It's amazing, as long as you take good care of your voice, you will definitely become a national treasure-level master in the future!"

"It's too much praise. I know my own abilities. I can just sing. I'm not worthy of a master." Zhang Rilong smiled. Even the original composer didn't have such an achievement.

Zhang Rilong sat down, and the beautiful woman next to him served him food and water.

No one thinks it should be.

No matter in terms of status, achievement, or position, Zhang Rilong, a director and producer, is higher than many of the stars and actors here. At the same time, he is also an honorary professor of the school. This alone should not make others put on airs.

The entertainment industry is a philistine circle, and toasting people to make fun of them is not a big deal.

The same is true for banks and some service industries. They are all subsidiary products of the progress of the times.

Xia Xianzhi said to Zhang Rilong: "You are right to come to China Theater, and we are right to invite you to China Theater. China Theater is a theater, and our theater also means a theater troupe. It is more political than the film school next door.

Task."

"You go to school in Shanghai, and the theater has invited you, right?"

Zhang Rilong shook his head, "I don't know, I don't care about this. There are too many people looking for me, and I just ignore them whenever I have time. I usually don't have enough time of my own."

Xia Xianzhi showed a helpless smile.

Bai Siyi next to him didn't understand very well and asked curiously: "Mr. Zhang, have you been to the Chinese Opera?"

A girl who came over and looked familiar said: "Senior Bai, don't you know? Teacher Zhang is now our honorary professor of Chinese Drama. Today he went to the school lecture hall to teach "The Legend of White Snake" to our 63, 64, 65, and 66 teachers and students.

The production concept, why it became popular, and the importance of character, especially the increasing emotional drama and conflict concepts laid out in the first few episodes, were all explained very clearly."

Bai Siyi quickly became serious, "Is there a video? I want to listen carefully."

The girl said: "There is a recording, but there is no video. Teacher Zhang doesn't want to spread it out."

After the two women finished speaking, Xia Xianzhi continued to say to Zhang Rilong: "There is a difference between the Chinese Opera and the Shanghai Opera. The one there is more international, and ours here pays more attention to traditional drama. This is not because everyone likes this, but it is a political task.

Our school has the task of publicizing and promoting traditional drama."

Zhang Rilong nodded, "I've guessed this. There are a lot of opera scenes in The Legend of White Snake, but I have always felt that this emerging form of opera draws on the performance form of opera. Combining Huangmei opera with TV will not

If I am loved by some circles, they will say that I am deviant."

Xia Xianzhi asked curiously: "Then you still use this form?"

Zhang Rilong spread his hands, "I think this drama will be popular, economic problems can solve all problems, and I still know what the people like to hear. At least the people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui will not care whether this is Huangmei Opera or not.

As long as it sounds pleasant to your ears, that’s fine.”

Xia Xianzhi said with satisfaction: "It is true that some people think you are not qualified, but it is just some idle moaning. Many people have watched The Legend of White Snake, including many retired leaders, and your twenty episodes have been recognized."

Shangguan Mingyue and others remained quiet and respectful, listening quietly.

Although I am envious, really envious, I cannot be envious.

Zhang Rilong didn't know this. After he made peace with the circle in Hangcheng, he had very little contact, and he didn't get any first-hand inside information.

The circle in Beijing is indeed better than the circle in Hangzhou, especially in some higher education institutions. News is definitely much faster than in other places.

"That's it. It's just that I feel a lot of pressure right now. I really can't carry this banner. In fact, I don't understand drama at all. I just take a lot of things for granted and write them out as soon as I have an idea."

Zhang Rilong quickly humbled himself, he was really under great pressure now.

Making money is making money, but I really don’t want to bear the banner of revitalizing traditional drama.

Let alone himself, Zhang Rilong felt that even if he brought hundreds of people from another world over, it would be useless.

Although Xia Xianzhi and Zhang Rilong have different ideas, they do have the same approach. "You don't have to be humble. Some things are not about numbers or expertise."

"You see, the promotion of traditional operas and dramas has been encouraged since the beginning of this century. Every year's TV drama adaptations will also give extra attention to traditional dramas. However, in the past sixty or seventy years, there have been very few classics. Being popular can make people curious about dramas.

Those who understand it are none of them."

"Even if we find 800 opera singers, they can't compare to one true genius!"

"Geniuses cannot be cultivated. You are talented, while others are just a little smart and know how to work hard."

Zhang Rilong's face was as rosy as if he had drunk wine, "I can't create because of the pressure. I can't control many things myself. Just because I wrote The Legend of White Snake in a few days doesn't mean that I can also write other novels in a few days."

Yes, as for opera, I feel that the more I understand it, the less I can jump out of it."

Grass!

I can't think of a TV series or movie that is more popular than "The Legend of White Snake", or even nearly as popular, and that also has the cultural symbols of traditional opera.

Farewell My Concubine? It doesn’t count... Is it fair for a high school student to come up with such a script about a man and a man?

Xia Xianzhi said: "Don't worry, this matter won't happen in a day or two, and you won't take on this task alone. If you have ideas, you can contact our school. You have successful experience in the past, and everything can be easily handled.

It’s all easy to approve.”

Shangguan Mingyue said with a smile: "Last year at the school graduation party, we rehearsed the stage play of The Legend of White Snake. I dare say there will be one this year too. Teacher Xia, did you reveal the secret? Will there be one this year?"

Xia Xianzhi said helplessly: "It must be true. The copyright of The Legend of White Snake is in Hangzhou, right? I know that a film and television company has bought the copyright and is preparing to remake it. Does Mr. Zhang know about this?"

Zhang Rilong shook his head, "It's none of my business. The copyright is in Hangzhou. The 50 million yuan has been cleared long ago."

Xia Xianzhi looked at Zhang Rilong who was having a meal and explained: "I will probably ask you to revise the script, and the actors will also have to check with you. Although you are not a director or producer, your words are heavier than others."

Zhang Rilong took two bites of the food and said nonchalantly: "I'm not short of money, so I won't take this troublesome job."

Xia Xianzhi saw Zhang Rilong's indifferent attitude and said nothing else. He said to Shangguan Mingyue: "Shangguan, your main job is still a singer. Sing a song for Teacher Zhang to listen to."

Shangguan Mingyue put down Kuaizi, wiped his mouth with a tissue, stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll show my shame."

This time Shangguan Mingyue and Tao Li Huanian came here just to meet Zhang Rilong. The few songs Zhang Rilong produced and his talent for live writing spread throughout the circle.

In the entertainment industry, there are those stars who have been filming for more than ten years and are still tepid. They have acting skills and connections, but they just can't produce hard-quality works that make people remember them.

This is especially serious for female stars, but male stars are very recognizable, unlike female stars who are dazzling and hard to remember their faces.

The sameness of beauty is the main reason why more and more female stars are not famous.

All major colleges have similar problems. Although those who are not beautiful are easy to remember, they have no resources and no future, while those who are beautiful can easily be swept away by the troublemakers and plastic surgery monsters around them.

High-quality works are not something that can be produced immediately. Many popular superstars have such a smooth debut because they have high-quality works produced by their father and grandfather who are the sponsors.

A high-quality famous work can make a huge difference from the very beginning.

Shangguan Mingyue is already a big star, but no one would think that she has too many good works.

Soon Shangguan Mingyue sang her famous work a cappella. This is not the earliest work, but the one that has been the most recognized by fans and the outside world.

"Teacher Zhang, do you think it's okay?" Shangguan Mingyue looked at Zhang Rilong.

A popular actress in her twenties who has been famous for a long time asked a teenage boy for his opinion and even called him teacher.

This would not be appropriate in other places, but it is very appropriate here. Zhang Rilong is a composer recognized and sought after by the circle.

No matter what, if you add "home" at the end, the identity will be different.

Zhang Rilong said politely: "It sounds very good."

Anyone who can be active on stage as a singer must have some real skills.

Shangguan Mingyue saw that what he had said was almost complete, and said expectantly: "I know that Teacher Zhang is good at writing songs. I also want to buy a song from Teacher Zhang, as long as it is suitable for me to sing."

Zhang Rilong said awkwardly: "I am easily confused and uncooperative when I am under pressure. This was also the case when others put pressure on me to change the script. You see, after I came to Beijing, as soon as I got off the plane, Jiang Wanyuan blocked the door to buy songs.

Although I thought it was nothing at the time, now wherever I go there are people asking me to sing, and I don’t like this development from the bottom of my heart.”

Shangguan Mingyue said quickly: "I was anxious. I put pressure on Teacher Zhang. I did something wrong. I will punish myself with three glasses of wine and apologize to Teacher Zhang."

Zhang Rilong raised his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I have to say it sooner or later anyway. I write songs to make pocket money. When we eat, we eat, and when we talk about business, we talk about business. If you want a song, I will write it for you in a few days."

Just one song, let’s discuss it as a matter of business.”

Shangguan Mingyue happily stood up and shook hands with Zhang Rilong, "Thank you, Teacher Zhang!"

Zhang Rilong stood up and shook hands with this beautiful woman, "I also set a rule for myself. I can't treat business as a job. From now on, I will sing one song every two months. In this way, I will make 100 million in a year."

Bai Siyi smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang is so awesome!"

Zhang Rilong sat down with a smile and said: "Making money doesn't matter, the most important thing is to get to know more friends. I don't know much about the entertainment industry. Some future cooperation will inevitably require connections in this circle, so I will participate when I have time in the future."

Some meals.”

Everyone was happy to chat with Zhang Rilong. After having a good time with wine and dinner, the stars started performing their talent shows directly near the dinner table.

There is no doubt that Zhang Rilong is a distinguished guest this time.

[Blue] "Socialite": You need to have dinner with 500 people of different genders (the maximum number of people cannot exceed 5), or have dinner with friends (regardless of gender, blood relations are not counted) 500 times, and each time

It is done as a VIP or host, and the meal does not count.

There are definitely more than 500 female celebrities in the Beijing circle. This is the foundation of the most powerful country in the world!
