Chapter 98 The King of Love Songs
At this time, Xu Chujing was on the set of "Cat Monster".
Before the recording of "Creating an Idol" started, "Cat Demon" was in the preparation stage, and she was still looking for the state of being a cat.
When the show officially started recording, Xu Chujing had that strange dream, and then she figured out the cat's condition.
The filming of "Cat Monster" officially started after that. It has been filming for several months now and a lot has been completed.
Today's movies, if they are large-scale productions, will take a long time.
Like the glorious era of Hong Kong films, many of the films that are still regarded as classics were made by a group of quick shooters who spent a month or two, or even less than a month...
Especially for some comedies, the shooting cycle is ridiculously short.
After Xu Chujing finished her role today, she began to contact Luo Mo.
It's not that she had forgotten about Luo Mo before. The main reason was that the show had just ended and Luo Mo was still in the center of the whirlpool, so it was inconvenient to disturb him.
However, Xu Chujing was actually paying close attention to most things about Luo Mo. During this period, she even had a phone call with Ningdan to learn more about Luo Mo.
So many days have passed in such a flash, Xu Chujing thought it was time to invite Luo Mo to make a guest appearance on the set of "Cat Monster".
For other newcomers, Xu Chujing's behavior is to support them.
It's just that Luo Mo is too popular now and has yet to debut. Many people are looking forward to his appearances on major platforms.
He can come to "Cat Demon" as a guest star and make his big screen debut, which can actually bring a lot of traffic to "Cat Demon".
In exchange, Xu Chujing gave him a stepping stone in the film and television industry and helped him expand his contacts and resources.
After sending a guest appearance invitation to Luo Mo, she quickly received a reply from Luo Mo on WeChat.
"Can I ask what kind of guest role you want me to play?" Luo Mo asked.
After Xu Chujing gave him an overview, Luo Mo was a little surprised.
"It's such a character." Luo Mo was slightly shocked.
What he wants to play is a human knight in "Cat Demon".
A hero in white who doesn't even have a name.
Most of the people who walk around in the world and wear white clothes are ridiculously strong. After all, for those who are in the world, white clothes are conspicuous.
This role does not require high acting skills. The only requirement for the director and screenwriter is to be handsome!
"What a coincidence!" Luo Mo touched his chin.
Judging from the content of the scene, this hero will have saved the cat demon played by Xu Chujing once when she was a child.
Even after learning her identity as a half-demon, he still didn't look at her in a different light, but instead touched the little girl's cat ears affectionately.
Then, this episode was deeply imprinted in the heart of the half-demon girl. When she grew up, based on the power of her idol, she also became a chivalrous and righteous cat demon.
There is also a scene where the grown-up cat demon recalls this scene from his childhood in a crucial scene and gains spiritual power.
Of course, when filming this scene, Luo Mo didn't touch the little girl's head, but the scene would switch from touching the little girl's head to touching Xu Chujing's head.
Finally, at the end of the movie, the cat demon played by Xu Chujing will see the back of the white-clothed hero in the final shot, and then the movie ends.
The overall scenes are actually very small and can be shot in a day or two.
However, with Luo Mo's keen sense of smell, he knew that this character was actually quite important.
This is actually an emotional hidden line.
When you are young, you should not meet someone who is too amazing. This hero is the one who amazed the cat demon's life.
At the same time, Luo Mo knows very well that many directors and screenwriters nowadays have a common problem, which is to deliberately shoot a few hidden lines that may or may not be buried.
If the movie becomes popular, these hidden threads can become hooks, and "Cat Demon 2" can be made naturally.
If the movie isn't a hit, it doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with the main plot anyway.
Luo Mo didn't know for a moment whether the white-clothed hero was added halfway or whether it existed in the original script.
After thinking for a while, he replied to Xu Chujing: "Yes, I will be free from my schedule starting tomorrow. Let's see how the crew arranges it."
He has been really busy recently. If he hadn't promised Xu Chujing before, he might not have had time.
Of course, there is a more important point.
"The queen's head should be easy to touch, right?" Luo Mo thought in his mind.
It’s time to show off my unique cat petting skills!
I, Luo Mo, am a craftsman!
Who can bear this?
Xu Chujing nodded slightly after receiving Luo Mo's reply.
She asked: "You should be living in Magic City now, right? I'll ask my driver from Magic City to pick you up and take you to the airport. After you get off the plane, someone will pick you up here."
Luo Mo did not refuse her kindness and said: "Okay, I live in Xicheng now."
This actually made Xu Chujing slightly stunned.
"Xicheng, isn't that where I live in Magic City? It's right opposite?" Xu Chujing was slightly surprised.
"Did Xin Yu arrange it for Luo Mo? The treatment is quite good." Xu Chujing guessed.
"Okay, then I'll ask the driver to come over when the time comes." Xu Chujing said.
After putting down her phone, Xu Chujing muttered: "I wonder if Luo Mo can act?"
………
………
Luo Mo didn't know that Lord Tianhou had doubts about him.
He is also experienced in acting.
When he was on Earth, he also signed up for an acting class and studied acting seriously.
Although he cannot be said to have come from a formal academic background, he has learned some skills at least, and is not considered a completely wild person.
He never wasted those ten years on earth.
Being an actor actually requires talent. Those with good talent have outstanding acting skills at a young age. There are even many children who have extraordinary acting skills. They do not need too much polishing and are born with aura.
Luo Mo is an above-average talent, or so the teacher in the acting class said.
Later, he also played some roles, but most of them were web dramas.
Based on his own understanding of acting skills on earth, he is the kind of person who would be thrown into an idol drama and no one would be able to find fault with him.
But if he is put in a work where he has to compete with veteran actors, he will be in an embarrassing state where he can't take the role.
Acting actually depends on the opponent. If the opponent is too strong, most people will really not be able to handle it.
"In terms of talent, I think this body is better, no, it should be much better!" Luo Mo thought.
Singing opera since primary school is actually a kind of performance.
Play is not only about singing, but also about acting.
In fact, many actors will perform dramas specifically to polish their acting skills, such as Hu Ge.
Although opera is another matter, Luo Mo has tried it. This body is very capable of controlling micro-expressions, eyes and other details.
These places actually have something in common.
When singing on stage, there is something special about every frown and smile.
As for his script skills, Luo Mo dare not say that he is strong, but at least he is not like some people who can't even pick up the sound during the live recording.
How could an opera singer not pay attention to this?
As long as it is polished and polished well, it may become a piece of beautiful jade.
Of course, you won’t know until you try everything.
Under normal circumstances, most singers who become famous are persistent in acting.
It is most common for a singer to cross over to an actor.
It's just that some succeeded, and more failed.
Like in the past, the exposure of singers was relatively low. You may have heard many of this person's songs, but you have no idea what this person looks like.
Things are getting better now, and they can still go on variety shows, and many singers are no longer obsessed with acting.
Luo Mo has a detailed plan for his life.
He knows very well that a person's energy is limited, and some things can be done, but not at the same time.
His most important period now is to complete the two albums.
It doesn't hurt to make a guest appearance, but if he wants to officially enter the acting profession, he feels that he needs to settle down a little more.
After agreeing to Xu Chujing's invitation, Luo Mo thought about it and sent another WeChat message to Ningdan.
Since he had to go out to work, he thought he would do it together when he had time.
There is another variety show to be recorded in Ningdan, please ask for the specific time.
Sister Run quickly replied, "Luo Mo, I happen to have something to talk to you about."
"Let me talk about this variety show first. The recording time will be in a week. It's inconvenient for you to watch."
Luo Mo thought about it and thought it was possible.
After asking carefully, he found out that Ningdan wanted to take advantage of the popularity of "Creating an Idol" to package him, the champion, with several celebrity mentors to record a variety show.
Xu Chujing won't go, she's not free, and... she's very expensive.
Wei Ran and Li Ge didn't want to participate at first.
But when Wei Ran heard that Luo Mo was going to sing the full version of "Tenderness" on the show, Brother Wei was moved.
As for Li Ge, he followed his husband. Since Wei Ran was going, he would go with him.
In this way, the two of them can work and make money while being together as friends, getting the best of both worlds.
As for Jiang Ningxi and Shen Yinuo, they are still in communication, because [Aurora Girls] has a group schedule recently, which may conflict, and they are looking to see if they can coordinate.
After talking about this episode of the variety show, Ningdan started to talk about another thing.
"Luo Mo, how are you preparing for your debut album?" Ning Dan asked.
"The preparation is okay." Luo Mo started to talk nonsense.
He obviously hasn't recorded a single song yet, and he has been busy working on Tong Shu's debut album recently.
The fake one is like not writing a single word of the summer vacation composition, but confidently saying that half of it has been finished.
"That's good." Ning Dan said: "The reason why I ask this is to confirm the time of your debut, because a friend of mine asked me to ask you if you are interested in participating in a singer-type variety show."
"What variety show?" Luo Mo asked.
"'The King of Love Songs'." Ning Dan said.
When Luo Mo heard the name of this variety show, he was slightly startled, remembering the 12 minutes and 38 seconds of the hit song "The King of Love Songs" on Earth.
Every time he went to KTV, as soon as someone clicked this song, Luo Mo knew that he was about to be baptized.
Now that the conversation was down to business, Ning Dan simply called Luo Mo.
"Hey, Luo Mo." Ning Dan's slightly lazy voice came through the microphone.
"Well, Sister Ning, tell me." Luo Mo said.
"The investment of the program "The King of Love Songs" is no smaller than that of "Creating an Idol". It is a top-notch large-scale production."
"The chief director is my friend, his name is Ke Ming. You should have heard of him, right?"
Luo Mo said: "Director Ke Ming, I know it."
In the variety show industry, if you insist on naming a few variety show gods, Ke Ming will definitely be on the list.
His reputation is no worse than Ningdan, or even slightly higher than Ningdan.
The reason is very simple. Ningdan has been doing online variety shows in recent years, and none of her talent shows have been broadcast on stars.
Moreover, her main target audience is young people, and most middle-aged and elderly people do not like to watch her programs.
But Ke Ming's programs are different. His programs are all star-rated and have a wide audience.
This is why Ningdan is willing to help invite Luo Mo.
Is Luo Mo popular now?
It’s top-notch, how can it not be popular!
But if you say that other countries have high national standards, that is another matter.
Why do some popular celebrities keep participating in variety shows suitable for all ages?
The purpose is to expand.
Just like before Lu Han participated in "Running Man", if you asked some children or middle-aged and elderly people if they knew him, the answer might be no.
But after he participated in "Running Man", many children and middle-aged and elderly people knew that there was such a "silly roe deer".
Ning Dan believed that there was no need to explain the secrets here, Luo Mo should understand them.
"As for your songs, Ke Ming personally likes them very much. His favorite is your song "Chi Ling"." Ning Dan continued.
"He also watched your live broadcast of the finals, and he also highly recognized your live singing skills."
"Of course, there are other reasons why he wants to invite you so much." Ningdan smiled and started to talk about it.
"What's the reason?" Luo Mo asked.
"Because Wei Ran has already decided to participate. He is a star mentor in "Creating Idols" after all, and you are a student. The two of you compete on the same stage, which can create a lot of buzz." Ning Dan said.
Luo Mo nodded and understood what Ning Dan meant.
"Brother Wei." He was a little dumbfounded by this.
Generally speaking, he has a good impression of Wei Ran, and he actually received a lot of care from him on the show.
As for Ke Ming, Luo Mo hasn't even released his first album yet and is not technically a debut singer yet. His invitation at this time shows his sincerity.
After all, the album hasn't been released yet, so everything is still unknown.
There have been examples in the industry of people who became famous immediately and then lost their crotch all the way.
At the same time, if you participate in this program, you can actually promote your new album in disguise, killing two birds with one stone!
To be honest, any singer in Xinyu would be extremely excited if this kind of opportunity was given to him.
This variety show should be regarded as a top resource in the industry, and it may have already been competed with outside.
Luo Mo didn't know for a moment whether it was actually Director Ke Ming who came to him on his own initiative, or whether Ning Dan had recommended him to his friends.
"The King of Love Songs", as can be seen from the name of this variety show, the requirement is to sing love songs.
The competition format may be somewhat similar to "I Am a Singer", but there are more restrictions, and you cannot sing songs of all themes.
Ning Dan spoke again on the other end of the phone: "Luo Mo, there is one more thing I want to tell you in advance."
"Sister Ning, tell me." Luo Mo knew that Ning Dan had good intentions this time and came to take the initiative to moisturize himself, so his attitude was very good.
"Ke Ming is also contacting Zhao Xueqin from Pineapple Entertainment. This Zhao Tianwang seems to want to participate," Ning Dan said.
Luo Mo heard this and smiled
Chapter completed!
