Chapter 115 Casting
"How come you're recording the song so fast? Are you kidding me? You haven't finished recording yet, otherwise it wouldn't be so fast."
Zhao Liying wondered, isn't Lin Feng tone-deaf? His singing is not as good as hers and is not in tune.
"I'm not a good singer, but that doesn't mean I can't record songs. You just need to master some techniques. Don't worry about the melody or the tone. Just sing out your best side with the most emotion.
Besides, I am a pretty good singer now. Although I can’t compare with you, and I am not as good as those professional singers, at least I am at the level of a KTV singer, which is pretty good for ordinary people.”
Lin Feng also corrected that although he sang well, much better than before, it was just that in the entertainment industry where "an actor is a singer", he really couldn't show off.
But recording songs is different, it is like acting in a movie, it can be edited and adjusted, just like a person who doesn't know Kung Fu can become a martial arts master through editing.
What's more, "Impossible" does not require high singing skills, but requires high emotions. Isn't acting what Lin Feng is best at?
By putting himself into the character's shoes, he acted out the forbearing and heart-wrenching "Hua Gu Lian" in his memory. Especially when watching the MV, Lin Feng was so moved that he cried.
Of course, this MV directly used the wonderful clips and highlights from the drama "The Journey of Flower", which is the most suitable content for the MV.
This song recording also made Lin Feng realize that he is more suitable for sad and emotional songs that do not require too many singing skills.
"It's that simple?"
After hearing Lin Feng's explanation, Zhao Liying asked in disbelief. Then she tried it herself and found that it was true.
Recording a song is not just about singing, it is about adjusting the pitch. Otherwise, why are those stars who can’t sing well or act well still able to release records!
In fact, the two of them didn't have to stay in the same studio to record the song, but they just wanted to stay together for a while, so they recorded in the same studio.
As for, betting?
Of course, she had to accept defeat. At night, Lin Feng taught the somewhat shy Zhao Liying two new poses.
This made Lin Feng show off his prowess, and he was so happy that he didn't want to leave. He really wanted to stay with Zhao Liying for a few more days.
The next day, Lin Feng flew to the United States. During these few days of vacation, he had to finish recording the remaining two episodes of the second season of "Running Man".
For the last two episodes, the program team directly chose Saipan, the United States, which can be regarded as a disguised tour for the entire Running Man team.
The main reason is that the second season of "Running Man" has a much higher rating than the first season, with an average rating of 5.02% and an audience share of 18%, which is a very scary statistic.
No other variety show can pose any threat to "Running Man", even the most talked-about "Flowers and Boys 2" "RV War",
It was just a temporary peak in discussion. At this time, "Running Man" has become a veritable national variety show.
To be honest, the recording of the second season of Running Man was so relaxing and enjoyable. There were 12 episodes in total.
The total recording time was only 18 days, just over half a month, and the pay was 3000 million. This money is too easy to make.
Although Lin Feng has not had any film or TV works aired recently, the broadcast of "Running Man" has maintained his popularity and he is still a frequent visitor to the hot search list.
At this time, Lin Feng already has 1800 million fans, which is more than Zhao Liying's fans, but still far behind Yang Mi's 5000 million fans.
However, Lin Feng has the highest fan stickiness. Even though Lin Feng does not post many Weibo posts, he still has the most comments, reposts, and likes.
After recording "Running Man", Lin Feng will continue filming "Descendants of the Sun", but before that, he will have to participate in the final audition for "Zhu Xian".
Of course, Lin Feng was not participating in the audition, but serving as an audition examiner.
To be honest, Lin Feng didn't want to participate. The previous version of "Zhu Xian" was good in all aspects, but it could be guaranteed to be filmed according to the original work, and the final results would definitely be similar.
However, Lin Feng could not resist Jiang Lei's invitation and reluctantly agreed to the audition. The examiners for the final audition of "Zhu Xian" were Huanrui Chairman Zhong Junyan, Vice President and Producer Jiang Lei, Director Zhu Ruibin, Screenwriter Wang Juan, Author Xiao Ding, and Lin Feng.
Before the audition began, Xiao Ding, the novel's author and screenwriter consultant, also wanted to express his gratitude to Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, thank you for choosing me and for ensuring that the film is based on the original novel. To be honest, you are the 'Zhang Xiaofan' in my mind, yes, the handsome Zhang Xiaofan."
This was the first time Xiao Ding saw Lin Feng in real life. He had thought Lin Feng was very handsome when he saw him on TV.
But when I got close to him in real life, I found that Lin Feng was even more handsome, especially his unique temperament that even men were jealous of.
"Mr. Xiao Ding, you are a great god in my heart. It is because I am a fan of the novel that I understand the thoughts of book fans. The original novel is already very exciting, so just follow the original novel to shoot it.
Of course, if you have any good ideas, you can discuss them with Wang Juan. As long as the original plot remains unchanged, it is not impossible to add some exciting elements appropriately.
It's just that in terms of the plot, Xiao Ding, you still have to control it!" Lin Feng said very modestly.
In his previous life, Lin Feng was also a fan of online novels. He read pirated copies at first, but later he read the official version. He mainly supported the official version.
Besides, there is no point in watching pirated copies. There are no comments or interactions. What's more important is that he doesn't need the money. It's just a pack of coins.
When Xiao Ding heard the words "great man" or "great god", he realized that Lin Feng was a real book fan, so he felt at ease when working with him in the future.
After the formal audition began, some important supporting roles came up first. Lin Feng didn't say anything and just followed the crowd.
However, Huanrui's behavior this time was really ugly. Except for the third female role "Tian Ling'er" given to Tang Yixin, most of the people finally selected were from Huanrui.
It seems that Huanrui really made the best use of Lin Feng and maximized the benefits. Almost all the Huanrui stars that Lin Feng heard of later were
Cheng Yi, Qin Junjie, Ren Guochao, Ying Er, Yuan Bingyan, Zhao Yingzi, basically everyone has a role.
In addition to the second male lead "Lin Jingyu", there is also Lin Feng's "Zhang Xiaofan" childhood friend, the competition is fierce,
Cheng Yi, Qin Junjie and Ren Guochao all wanted it, but Ren Guochao was eliminated first. He doesn't have any works now and has no say, so he can only play the role of a "six-tailed fox demon".
The competition between Cheng Yi and Qin Junjie was quite fierce.
Cheng Yi was born in 90, and graduated from the acting class of the Central Academy of Drama in 08. He has appeared in many works including "Beauty of the Tang Palace", "Strange Love", and "Forgive Me, I Don't Have Time to Love You".
Qin Junjie was born in 92, and was in the 10th grade undergraduate class of the Central Academy of Drama, the same class as Lin Feng, Yang Zi, and Reba.
His resume is even more impressive. Before he went to college, he starred in Zhang Yimou's ancient costume palace emotional film "Curse of the Golden Flower", playing the third prince "Yuan Cheng".
Later, he also starred in the youth inspirational drama "The Prince of Tennis" series, as well as "Sunny Day" and "Strange Town".
He even starred in Lin Feng's "Gu Jian Qi Tan", in which he played the first musician in heaven, "Prince Changqin".
There were only two or three shots, and he had no scenes with Lin Feng. Lin Feng didn’t even know there were any shots of him.
However, judging from the final audition results, Cheng Yi is more suitable for the tough, stubborn, cold-hearted, and thoughtful "Lin Jingyu".
Qin Junjie is more suitable for "Zeng Shushu", who is humorous, lively and cheerful, and does not abide by the rules.
No one had any objections, so it was decided.
But there are a lot of things to deal with when it comes to casting for "Lu Xueqi".
