I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 535 533. Wang Xiaoben (33)

July 31st.

Two things happen.

The first thing is that registration for the 67th Venice Film Festival has stopped, and the entire 67th judging team has begun a month-long review of multiple groups and multiple films.

"Hawthorn Tree" was successfully submitted for review.

As for whether we can be shortlisted, we’ll have to wait and see the results at the end of August.

The second thing is that amidst the huge expectations, the first episode of the second season of "The Voice of China" was launched.

The overall format of the program is not much different from the first season. However, in the preview video on the official website, the program explained that because there were too many people in this blind audition, the four mentors divided the 16 people. The quota has been increased to 20 people.

Then there will be four more episodes of the blind audition show, and that’s it.

Tomorrow is August 1st and also Sunday.

After spending a week filming with his wife in Hengdian, he will rush to Shanghai tomorrow to start preparing for the crew of "33 Days".

Today is the last night in Hengdian, and the family decided to spend it watching "The Voice".

Xu Xin has been waiting for today.

Because the blind audition results were known in advance last season, when watching "The Voice", it felt like knowing who the "murderer" was in advance.

A little less interesting.

But in the second season, he held it back seriously.

So I am full of curiosity about the whole show at this moment.

At 7:59, the show starts.

The scene in Shaanxi Province jumped up. In the advertisement for Xifeng Wine, which was sponsored by the company, Yang Ying was wearing a red dress, looking noble and elegant.

"The Han and Tang Dynasties were drunk during the prosperous times~"

"Chang'an~Xifeng Zun!"

"Xifeng Wine invites you, the second season of "The Voice of China" is about to begin!"

In the picture, Yang Ying held up a glass of white wine, which was praised by Xu Xin:

"This film was well shot and very elegant."

"The wine is not bad either."

Yang Dalin, who was also sitting on the sofa, nodded:

"The phoenix-flavor type is no worse than the sauce-flavor type."

Although Xu Xin disagrees with this criticism, it does not prevent him from paying tribute to his father-in-law:

"Then I'll ask them to bring you some old wine later."

Yang Dalin smiled happily.

Amidst the laughter, the advertisement for "Pechoin" herbal medicine was played every second.

Finally, there is Weibo’s “ # Good Voice # ” topic advertisement.

After several commercials, the program slowly started.

Frankly speaking, the medley of songs by several people sounded really good, especially the song "Red Sun" brought by Li Keqin as the new mentor. Xu Xin immediately started humming along with his head shaking.

The skewering was completed, and soon the first contestant appeared.

Then Xu Xin was a little confused as soon as he came up.

Ambient highlights, portrait shadows.

I couldn't even see his face clearly.

I could only hear him saying:

"As a debut singer, I am not here to make people remember me again, but I hope that through this program that conveys musical beliefs through singing, I can pack up my bags and set out again, as a new person, to bring my own My singing.”

"Good voice, here I come!"

A frame-snatching method was used to record the appearance of this contestant whose face was never exposed, and then the screen switched.

In the complete silence, the song information lit up in the lower left corner of the screen:

"Regret", original singer: Xu Meijing

"I can sing this song!"

Xu Xing just spoke, and Yang Mi, who was sitting on the climbing mat and leaning against his knees, quickly patted his calf:

"Hey, I'm one of you, don't talk."

"..."

With Xu Xin speechless and the four instructors on the TV screen listening carefully, the singer began to sing:

"Stop talking about who's fault it is to make everything... turn to ashes~"

As soon as he opened his mouth, his rather magnetic voice suddenly caught the ears of Xu Xin and Yang Mi.

Then……

"Bang!"

Li Keqin, a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, stood up amid applause and cheers, and slowly raised his hands as the chair rotated.

have to.

The first turn of "The Voice" appears.

At this time, the screen finally showed the player’s face.

"Yeah, he's quite handsome~"

The moment he heard this, Xu Xin's toes dug into the sister's waist.

"Ouch~~~~"

Xu Xin blinked amid Yang Mi's "painful" wailing...

"Xue Zhixuan?"

Upon hearing this name, Yang Mi was also stunned:

"The one who sings "Serious Snow"?"

"Yes, isn't it him?"

"Well……"

Listening to the song "Regret", Yang Mi tilted her head:

"Professional players are also participating? Is it a foul?"

Xu Xin was not talking, but continued to listen to the song.

Frankly speaking, it sounds really good.

But if you want him to make a professional review, you are being blind.

Those ears of his...

In Lang Lang’s words:

"Besides saying something nice, what else can you say?"

Then, the second turn appears on the screen.

Han Hong turned around.

This result remains until the end of the song.

Amid cheers, Han Hong spoke:

"Old Xue, long time no see."

On the stage, Xue Zhixuan, who was wearing glasses, quickly said modestly:

"Hello, Teacher Han Hong."

Jay Chou asked in confusion:

"Sister Han, do you know me?"

"Lun'er, haven't you heard of it? "Serious Snow"...the snow is falling so deeply~it's falling so seriously~~"

Following Han Hong's words, many people in the audience showed astonishment.

However, Jay Chou showed a confused expression.

Seeing this, Han Hong said:

"It's normal that you don't know. In 2005 and 2006, you were taking down the entire Chinese music scene..."

"oh!!!!!"

Han Hong's words received bursts of applause from the audience.

Even Jay Chou blushed in embarrassment.

At this time, Li Keqin said:

"Then the only man who could dominate Jaylen for a whole year is sitting next to me at this moment."

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

Dao Lang also laughed sheepishly.

As Dao Lang, who once defeated Jay Chou for a year and won the Golden Melody Award in the Chinese music industry with "The First Snow in 2002" and "Impulsive Punishment", the feud with Jay Chou has already become "white-hot" in the first season. .

It almost became a meme.

Obviously, Li Keqin also watched the first season.

Then Jay Chou also praised:

"Let's put it this way, Teacher Li Keqin suppressed the entire music scene in the 1990s..."

"Wow, why are you going so much! I am the icing on the cake at most, but suppression is too much. Isn't it the same for Teacher Han Hong..."

Before Li Keqin finished speaking, Han Hong nodded:

"Then I met Lun'er and they all died."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The good atmosphere of the entire tutor team was evidenced by the hilarious conversations.

But everyone also knows to give up when things get better.

Although these four people can really be said to be leading the way, the final focus of attention still falls on Xue Zhixuan:

"Are you a singer? Have you ever debuted?"

Jay Chou asked curiously.

Xue Zhixuan nodded slightly nervously:

"Yeah...uh...yeah."

""Serious Snow" was very popular at the time, and it was at the peak of its debut. Lao Xue and I also participated in "The Same Song" together."

Han Hong has a very good memory.

After finishing speaking, he asked in confusion:

"But you seem to have lost your voice suddenly... There seems to be no movement in the past few years. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be ~ 2006... Lun'er, what album are you on?"

""Chopin in November", "Still Fantasy"."

"Oh~~~~!!!"

"Hua la la la la..."

Amidst the applause, Han Hong nodded and asked Daolang again:

"What about you, Lao Dao?"

"I am... "Punishment of Impulse" and "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing"."

"Hua la la la la..."

There were bursts of applause again.

Apparently, everyone has heard it.

"Think about it, under the pressure from you two, his song "Serious Snow" is still so popular. As usual, it should be better... No, where have you been all these years?"

The melody of "Serious Snow" suddenly sounded at the scene.

At the same time, text lit up in the lower left corner:

Song title: "Serious Snow"

Piano Solo: Lang Lang.

This was added later, so the audience did not hear it.

But just by the name "Lang Lang", this soothing and affectionate piano melody can be listened to by everyone.

And amidst the sound of the piano, Xue Zhixuan smiled a little awkwardly...

"I came out of a talent show..."

"I know, "My Style, My Show". Hey, Director Jin, aren't you the same?... Good guy, nepotism, right?"

Han Hong revealed the matter without any scruples.

But that's just her temper.

The reason why it has attracted countless fans since the first season is because of this straightforwardness.

So there are also memes about her on the Internet.

It means: "Whenever Han Hong quits, I will have reasonable suspicion that there is something shady about "The Voice"."

You see, Han Hong is the guarantee of word-of-mouth.

The instructors didn't mind either, and even gave the camera to the director, Jin Guangcheng, who was also the chief director of the first three seasons of "My Show".

Jin Guangcheng was waving to Han Hong and shaking his head.

Now even Xu Xin can feel it. This season of "The Voice" is indeed very different from the previous season.

Perhaps because there are more blind audition periods, its interview sessions are also very long.

This allows the audience to have a more intuitive understanding of the past of these players.

Then I heard Xue Zhixuan say:

"I signed a seven-year contract, and I just fulfilled it this year. Our company... began to have problems in 2006. Then... all the capable people left, and I was the only one who fulfilled the contract. At the beginning of this year, my contract expired and I came here. During this period... although I have been making music, I only do it myself and promote it myself..."

"I know this."

Yang Mi suddenly spoke:

"Han Hong then asked: Isn't Zhang Si with you?"

But the camera on TV showed Jay Chou:

"Wow, I have always insisted on making music, but your activities in the past few years... without a company, would be in a state of stagnation, right?"

"Yes."

"It's amazing..."

Seeing this, Yang Mi said:

"It should have been cut. Zhang Yi was indeed with him, but then he left, joined Happy Boys, and even got a rich girlfriend..."

Xu Xin just listened to these words as gossip.

Xue Zhixuan also gave an explanation:

"Actually, the reason why I didn't leave... was for two reasons. On the one hand, the termination fee was too expensive, costing more than one million, and I couldn't afford it. And because I couldn't afford it, I thought about it and thought of it as repaying the favor. Although the money is decreasing every year...but rather than terminating the contract, I care more about saving some money to fulfill my own music dream. So I stayed until the end of the contract and then came here..."

Hearing this, Xu Xin nodded:

"It's okay, quite kind..."

"Well, the song is not bad either."

In the discussion between the couple, in the end, Xue Zhixuan seemed to choose Li Keqin to avoid suspicion.

The first double-turn contestant in the second season of "The Voice" was won by Li Keqin.

Then, the second contestant took the stage...

…

After two hours, Xu Xin scratched his head:

"Why do you feel like it's become a show about cultivating gu? These people...are so powerful! Especially this one...Zhang Wei. He has such a high voice~he's so busy with TEN~~~~~"

"Oh, please shut up."

Yang Mi, who had just planned to put her daughter to sleep, was speechless.

The two of them had just watched a contestant named Zhang Wei sing a "HIGH song".

Boy, that voice is really high.

At the same time, he also received 4 transfers from his mentors.

And looking at the two-hour program, it is obvious that every contestant in this year has unique skills... they are too strong to be useless.

Not to mention anything else, Li Keqin alone received 4 places.

Most of the people who showed up today are with him.

Facing his pride, several instructors smiled and said nothing.

Everyone has experienced the first season, so they naturally know...the consequences of wasting the quota in the beginning.

If you want to find them, look for singers who are unique and can touch your soul.

From this perspective...

Brother Li, you are too young...

Who said whoever runs first wins?

In the end, Yang Mi no longer worried about who Zhang Wei would choose.

"Let's go? Go to bed? You have to get up early tomorrow."

"OK."

The chairs are all turned anyway, so it doesn’t matter who you choose in the end.

The important thing is that this season of "The Voice" is still exciting and the quality has not declined at all, and that's enough.

Back in the room, after the two settled their children, they happily went to take a mandarin duck bath together.

The vegetarian kind.

Another month passed, and relatives still came on time.

In the past two days, she has been wearing grandma bloomers again.

I was still red from taking a shower just now.

It's bad enough...

After returning to bed, Xu Xin touched the smooth feel of the old woman's bloomers and suddenly said:

"Are we doing a variety show?"

"...?"

The young woman who was enjoying herself in his arms opened her eyes in confusion:

"What the hell?"

Looking at his wife who was sitting up straight, Xu Xin shrugged:

"I said, let's do another variety show... I've been thinking about this variety show for a long time."

"…What do you mean?"

"Do you remember the masquerade?"

Hearing this, Yang Mi rolled her eyes:

"What are the things that the four gentlemen love so much about Lin Zhiling?"

"..."

You see, it's quite outrageous.

She has a really good memory.

Too good to be unreasonable.

A little embarrassed, he avoided his wife's gaze...

Then...is liking Lin Chiling also called liking?

If you keep talking to me every day, why would I still like her?

But Yang Mi didn’t delve into it.

She understood the taste preferences of her four grown-ups very well.

Don’t you just like that little green tea?

The little prodigal hoof said "I only feel sorry for GIEGIE", and they just ate it all.

Ask directly:

"Go on. Do you want to invite Lin Zhiling to be a guest?"

"...No more, let's go to sleep!"

"Oh, oh, brother~~~~~~~~"

When the hard one doesn't work, she tries the soft one.

Why not just clip it?

She's been stuck for a whole day, and there are still five or six days left in the future. Is this just a short time away?

"I just had some inspiration at the beginning. I saw you and Alang wearing masks on the stage, singing and dancing, but I never figured out the specific process. But today when I looked at Xue Zhixuan, I just thought Come out... Think about it, if we invite those singers who have brought classic songs to the stage again. But they will wear masks, cover themselves tightly, and then sing other people's songs, let everyone guess who they are. Who is it...doesn’t it sound interesting?”

"..."

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Yang Mi was stunned...

The first reaction was: What a bullshit idea.

But it's not too late to dislike it...

When she thought of Xue Zhixuan...

Eh?

Not to mention, it seems like it can be done.

"For example, ask the wheel to sing Lin Junjie's song?"

"Yes, that's probably what it means. A professional singer must have his own style of performance for some songs, right? Then we cover him up tightly and still let everyone guess who he is through his singing..."

"Winning with suspense?"

"BINGO~"

Xu Xin nodded:

"What do you think? Just like Xue Zhixuan. In order to prevent him from being recognized at the beginning, the program team deliberately did not give him the camera until Li Keqin turned around... and then used Han Hong to "Serious Snow" Come out… I got inspiration from him!”

"Well……"

After sorting out the flow of the program her brother mentioned in her mind, she asked:

"Then what? What are the specific rules?"

Xu Xin rolled his eyes:

"What the hell, you're so exhausted that your husband is going to die. And there are specific rules... you don't know how to find someone to plan it? What's the matter? I've brought all the food to you, and I have to chew it up and feed it to you?"

"Hey~"

Yang Mi looked disgusted:

"Your metaphor is disgusting...I will never kiss you again."

Hearing this, Xu Xin bared his teeth:

"Hey, look."

Seeing him pointing at her front teeth, Yang Mi looked at it and asked in confusion:

"What?"

"There is a coriander leaf in here, come and try it..."

"Xu, you go to hell! Hey!!!"

Finally, Xu Laoer, who had been blasted out of nowhere in the middle of the night, fell asleep comfortably.

He shouldn't have been knocked unconscious...

I guess so.

…

She took the variety show her husband mentioned to heart.

However, the specific matters will have to be discussed in the long term after the filming of "Wulin Gaiden" is completed.

Anyway, it’s soon.

In five or six days at most, her role will be basically over.

On the day of August 1, Xu Xin got up early in the morning and went straight to the Magic City.

The person who came to pick him up was not Xu Zhi, but Wang Sicong.

Wang Sicong with a naughty look on his face.

Wearing a toad mirror, after seeing Xu Xin, he first lit a cigarette for the boss.

Then he opened the passenger door of his Lamborghini and personally invited Xu Xin in.

Although he didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, Xu Xin was happy to have the young master serving him.

After Wang Sicong waited for Xu Xin to get on the bus, he pointed at Su Meng and Guo Ping:

"You two just go and do whatever you need to do."

With that said, he ran into the car quickly. Xu Xin took one look at his coquettish character and asked:

"Young Master, did you win five million in the lottery? Are you so happy?"

"..."

Wang Sicong's mouth twitched.

"Speak up and don't curse. You want to buy me a smile for five million? Bah! I'll give you ten million and you'll give me a smile."

"Hey Hey……"

Xu Xin gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence:

"Can I give you 100 million for ten laughs?"

"..."

The eldest young master thought for a while and said:

"What did you ask in the last sentence?"

"Ten laughs can give you 100 million yuan."

"No, repeat the sentence above."

Xu Xin was stunned and said:

"You won five million?"

"Yes, I won five million."

"Hold!"

The mentality of the second-generation coal miners in northern Shaanxi, who lost 100 million yuan, also collapsed.

"Hey hey hey hey..."

The eldest young master licked his face:

"Hey, don't be angry. At noon... you come with me to meet someone."

"Who is it? Male or female? Tall, short, fat or thin? What's your origin? Does the flower girl do her job?"

"..."

For no reason, Wang Sicong felt that this bastard was particularly naughty today.

But he was in no mood to convulse at the moment:

"You'll know in a moment..."

"..."

Although he didn't know what kind of medicine he sold in his gourd, Xu Xin didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, I touched the interior of this Lamborghini...

"Lamborghini~ It's so good. I like it~"

"Do you like it? I gave it to you."

"..."

Xu Xin was helpless.

"Can you put your generosity to good use? Can't you give me something affordable?"

"Isn't this affordable?... Your outlook on life is really different from others."

The eldest young master shook his head helplessly.

Then, Lamborghini came all the way to an old building on the Bund of Shanghai.

Three on the Bund.

This place seems to be quite famous, but Xu Xin doesn't know it.

He just followed Wang Sicong all the way out of the car and up the stairs, and finally came to a place where everything was in English.

It looks like a restaurant.

So, he spelled it out in English:

"Chicken...Jin...Brother...Goshi?"

"..."

The eldest young master unconsciously covered his face:

"Big brother, Jean-Georges. Jean-Georges~"

"Isn't that the word for jeans? Are you bullying me for being uneducated?"

"..."

He silently gave Lao Xu a thumbs up in his heart, but he just walked inside without explaining.

Let’s not talk about the restaurant environment.

Anyway, the two of them came to a private room.

When he opened the door, there was a girl inside.

After seeing the two of them, he stood up with a smile on his face.

Wang Sicong smiled sweetly, exuding the sour smell of love, and said to Xu Xin:

"Let me introduce you, Lao Xu. My girlfriends, Wang Ying and Wang Xiaoben."

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless.

The movie king author’s new book, Friends Streaming, is very interesting! Fast pace! in addition! Still owe six more!
