The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 193 The entertainment industry where profit comes first

"Sister Wen, come on! There are still 2 laps left!"

"No, no! That's it for today!"

"Sister Wen, when you were eating cake, you said you would run 5 kilometers today."

"That's about it." After saying that, Lin Shuwen turned around and went home.

She really couldn't run anymore. She ate the five pieces of cake at noon, but Chen Sichu said she wouldn't let her have lunch.

Now I have to run another 5 kilometers, who can withstand this!

After returning home, Lin Shuwen took a shower and collapsed directly on the sofa.

While massaging Lin Shuwen's calves to relax her muscles, Chen Sichu said, "Sister Wen, you can't relax on your body shape while you're recording a show recently. At least wait until "Singer" is finished before you start eating."

"I know, didn't I hold back this time? Who made you eat so deliciously!"

Chen Sichu chuckled and said, "Because his sweets are really delicious!"

"What music would Miss Lin want to listen to?"

"How about 'Für Elise'?"

"Okay!"

Lin Shuwen hummed to the music score, and then her eyes lit up.

"Ms. Lin, this is the small band I selected to accompany you. Do you want to listen to our performance and see if there is anything that needs to be adjusted?" Guo Ningyuan asked.

Guo Ningyuan smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "Miss Lin is really good at choosing songs."

"No problem!" After saying this, Guo Ningyuan turned around and raised the conductor's baton, and the orchestra immediately entered the preparation stage.

"May I?"

The reason why Lin Shuwen chose the piece "Für Elise" is partly because of its high popularity. This piece is a popular piano piece written by Beethoven and has been played by many music students.

But if you are not careful, once you play the circled notes as accents, it will become a 6/8 beat. And these notes happen to be the notes that the right hand enters, so they are particularly easy to play as accents.

Lin Shuwen sat down on a chair, slowly closed her eyes and listened to the performance of this improvised string orchestra.

Guo Ningyuan's baton fell, and a familiar melody sounded in Lin Shuwen's ears.

No wonder Luo Ming asked her to prepare orchestra accompaniment, this song is worth it!

The orchestra attaches great importance to coordination. Once one link does not coordinate well, the whole sound will sound chaotic. Using a song like "To Alice" that attaches great importance to details as a "test question", Lin Shuwen thinks it is the coordination of the orchestra. It couldn't be more appropriate.

On the other hand, this seemingly simple little song has hidden mysteries. Once many details are ignored, it will affect the overall perception.

The most common problem encountered in "Für Elise" is the time signature. The time signature of this piece is 3/8. Each measure has 3 beats, and every two sixteenth notes count one beat.

When the two arrived, Guo Ningyuan had already gathered the selected band members and was waiting for them.

Early the next morning, Lin Shuwen took the printed music score and went to the orchestra with Chen Sichu.

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, Luo Ming sent Lin Shuwen the score and lyrics of the third competition.

There’s really something to this song!

Guo Ningyuan said that this is why Lin Shuwen chooses songs.

The 3/8 shot is very fluid, while the 6/8 shot has a sense of leisurely strolling. If the shot is wrong, the overall feeling will be different.

Lin Shuwen heard that this improvised string orchestra had no such problem.

Then there is the rhythm. The theme part of this piece starts weakly. It comes on the third beat, and the upbeat starts from the third note.

If you play the first note too hard and too sure, then the first measure together with the preceding weak measure will become a four-beat feel. In this way, the music will start with an unknown rhythm, which will make people completely confused.

Lin Shuwen has not heard of this issue for the time being.

The performance originally went very smoothly, but between the 13th and 16th measures, Lin Shuwen frowned and opened her eyes.

Guo Ningyuan's conductor also stopped, and the music stopped abruptly.

These few sections are very easy to get dizzy. There are many repetitive sound patterns, and I don’t know how many of them I played as I kept playing.

Anyone who knows the art can tell it right away. It was obvious that a violin part just talked about an extra sound pattern.

"Group 3, go down! Let the substitutes come up." Guo Ningyuan said with a dark face.

The musicians in the third group also knew that they had made a mistake, and they lowered their heads and did not dare to make any rebuttal.

After a while, a new part came up, and Guo Ningyuan conducted the performance of "To Alice" again.

This time it was smooth and smooth, without any mistakes. Lin Shuwen was very satisfied with it.

"Sorry, Miss Lin made you laugh." Guo Ningyuan said a little embarrassed.

Apparently the band made such a stupid mistake, which made him feel very embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter. Mr. Guo is serious and responsible for his work. I should thank you." Lin Shuwen said with a smile.

"What Miss Lin said made me feel a little ashamed."

Lin Shuwen smiled and changed the subject: "Mr. Guo, this is the score of the song. Take a look."

Guo Ningyuan took the music score and hummed it, and then his eyes lit up. "The melody of Miss Lin's song is very good!"

"I think so too. Then please Mr. Guo, please rehearse this piece quickly. I will come to practice tomorrow."

"No problem, one day is enough for us to get familiar with each other."

After dealing with the score, Lin Shuwen looked at the time, it was just 10 o'clock.

Lin Shuwen originally wanted to go and practice driving again.

However, before the car arrived at the driving school, I received a call from Director Liu.

"Wenwen, are you free now?" Director Liu asked straight to the point as soon as Lin Shuwen picked up the phone.

"available."

"Let's meet! I'll wait for you at the company."

"Okay! I'll be right over." After finishing speaking, Lin Shuwen hung up the phone and turned to Chen Sichu and said, "Chu Chu, turn around, let's go to Director Liu's company."

Chen Sichu nodded, re-planned the driving route, and drove towards Director Liu's studio.

Half an hour later, Lin Shuwen saw Director Liu in the office.

"Wenwen, I thought about it yesterday and found that 2% is indeed a bit too much. Let's do this! I want 300 million + 1% of the box office share."

Lin Shuwen was a little surprised when she heard this. It had only been a day, why did Director Liu relent?

There is no pie in the sky, and this is especially true in the entertainment industry. Everything is profit-oriented. This is what Sister Shan told Lin Shuwen as soon as she signed the contract.

Lin Shuwen kept this sentence in mind, so she asked Director Liu directly: "Director Liu, do you have any requirements that you want us to meet?"

"Ahem! Logically speaking, I shouldn't say this. Wenwen, your "Light Years Away" helped me a lot. Without your song, it would be difficult for my movie to make money. .

But I also support a studio, so if it were me, it wouldn’t be a problem to help you make this movie for free.”

"Director Liu, I understand all your difficulties!" Lin Shuwen interrupted Director Liu: "I understand all these, you should just talk about the business!"

Director Liu sighed and said, "Wenwen, I just have one request. I want to bring in an actor for this play."

"Male and female?"

"Female, I want her to play the second female lead Qiu Ya."

"I can't make the decision, Director Liu. I'm going to ask over there."

"Of course, this is her information, Wenwen, please take a look!" Director Liu said as he handed over a folder.

Lin Shuwen took the folder from Director Liu's hand, and when she opened it, she saw a familiar name - Xin Xiaowei.

"Pa~" Lin Shuwen closed the folder.

"Director Liu, may I ask what your relationship is with Xiaowei?" Lin Shuwen asked.

"Do you believe me when I say it's okay?"

"Director Liu, I'm not a fool. Xiaowei has been in school for a few years and has long since faded away. It's already very strange that your TV series asked her to star in it. Now she is asked to play the second female lead in this movie. , Director Liu, you won’t believe it if you say you two are just individuals, right?”

Director Liu smiled bitterly and said: "Xiaowei is my niece, and her mother is my eldest sister. My mother died early, and I was raised by my eldest sister. The money for college is also earned by my eldest sister from working. My eldest sister is like this As a daughter, I will definitely help her if I have the chance."

"So that's it, I agreed to Director Liu's matter."

Director Liu was stunned for a moment when he heard Lin Shuwen's words.

"Wenwen, don't you need to discuss it with the other side?"

"No, as a second female lead, I can still make the decision."

Director Liu's expression was a little strange when he heard this. Didn't he just say that he couldn't make the decision? How come your face changes so quickly?

But no matter what, he finally got another chance for his niece.

This script should be good in all aspects if the Beijing Film Academy professors like it. If Weiwei can become famous through this role, even if she is kicked out by Starlight Entertainment in July, she will have the opportunity to sign with other entertainment companies next year.

"Wenwen, thank you so much." Director Liu said sincerely.

"Director Liu, there's no need to be so polite. Weiwei and I are also friends."

Director Liu smiled, obviously not taking Lin Shuwen's words seriously.

But in fact, Lin Shuwen and Xin Xiaowei are really friends. If Director Liu hadn't asked for the role of Qiu Ya to Xin Xiaowei, Lin Shuwen would never have agreed to it.

"Wenwen, when will we sign the contract?"

"Monday! Director Liu, take a flight to Bingzhou tomorrow. Call Weiwei on board, and then go directly to Zhuoguang Entertainment. Let's finalize the contract directly."

"Wenwen, Weiwei's situation is a bit special. It may take a few months for her and Xingguang to terminate their contract. Can she be allowed to join the team first and then sign the contract after the contract is terminated?" Director Liu asked.

"Won't Starlight find out? This is an illegal operation."

"No, I will tell Weiwei's agent to ask Weiwei to come over and help me. Xingguang already knew about my relationship with Weiwei last time when I invited Weiwei to film that TV series."

Lin Shuwen nodded when she heard this and said: "In that case, just do what you said, Director Liu!"

Director Liu smiled when he heard this. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Wenwen, I will definitely do my best for this movie."
