"If pride is not coldly photographed by the sea of reality"
"How do you know how to work harder?"
…
In the recording studio, Leslie Cheung was wearing a headset, looking at the sheet music in front of him, singing with concentration and a bit of solemnity, and some beads of sweat on his forehead.
Although Zhang Yuxuan has long known that recording songs in the recording studio is not as easy as singing in KTV.
But Zhang Yuxuan didn't expect that recording songs would be so difficult.
To be precise, the song "First Dream" was so difficult to record.
The pitch, every ups and downs, even inconspicuous fluctuations, can be found and started over.
Later, it was even simpler to let Zhang Yuxuan record it sentence by sentence. First, he recorded the whole song repeatedly, and then selected the best one as the base. Then if there was an error in one sentence, he would eliminate that sentence, and then let Zhang Yuxuan specifically
When you sing this line, change the line once it’s done.
Just such a song made Yuxuan Zhang feel physically and mentally exhausted.
But only the song "First Dream" has such strict requirements.
Because the quality of this song is really very high, and the quality of other songs is just like that, so although the recording of other songs is not particularly casual, it is more or less passable.
Only this song, repeated over and over again, tortured Yuxuan Zhang to the point of being miserable.
However, Leslie Cheung had to admit that after recording such a song, he felt that his singing skills seemed to have improved a bit.
At the end of the recording, Zhang Yuxuan took off the headset and bent his whole back.
After walking out of the recording studio, Li He quickly stepped forward and put the water soaked in Fatty Sea into Yuxuan Zhang's hand.
After drinking a glass of water, my sore throat felt a little better.
While Zhang Yuxuan pinched his Adam's apple, he asked the sound engineer: "How is it?"
"That's it. This song is generally successful. Just make some modifications next. Teacher Zhang, you're almost done."
"It's over, that's great." Henry Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. Now he just wants to go home and rest, and then he won't say a word or a word again.
…
2004, January 6.
Leslie Cheung sat in front of the TV, preparing to watch "The Eighteen-Year-Old Sky".
That's right, it's this drama. It can be regarded as Zhang Yuxuan's first work after his official debut.
This drama is also a disaster. Because of the craze of "Meteor Garden", I planned to follow the trend and make such an idol drama, but because Meteor Garden was banned, it could not be broadcast. Until now, the filming of the drama has been completed for two years.
Yes, it's finally released.
Not long ago, the crew of the 18-year-old Sky called Yuxuan Zhang to inform him that the film was about to be released.
To be honest, when he first heard the news, Leslie Cheung was stunned for a while, and he almost forgot about the drama.
Originally, Leslie Cheung wanted to break out of the entertainment industry with this drama, officially enter the entertainment industry, and enter other people's field of vision.
I didn't expect that this drama would finally come to the fore when Yuxuan Zhang was already halfway into the front-line ranks, and it seemed a bit tasteless to some extent.
Li He put a cup of stewed rock sugar and pear water in front of Yuxuan Zhang: "Is this the first film you filmed on your debut?"
"That's right, it's this drama." Zhang Yuxuan said with a smile: "I still played a little trick to get the role in this drama."
"Be careful?" Li He looked at Zhang Yuxuan with a little curiosity.
"Back then, I had been doing side jobs and special contracts. In order to make a breakthrough for myself, I went to Nortel and pretended to be a student from Nortel. After all, I was not very old, and others would not know that I was fake when they saw me. Then
Eighteen-year-old Tian Tian went to Nortel to look for actors, so I pretended to be a Nortel student to audition, and then won the role of Tang and Song Dynasty." Zhang Yuxuan said, he even chuckled, thinking it was quite interesting at the time.
Li He didn't expect that Zhang Yuxuan would do this. But Li He also knew that although Zhang Yuxuan was introverted and didn't like to make trouble, he was not stupid. It was normal for him to do this kind of behavior in order to get out of the circle.
"Sister Hed, let me tell you, the original role of Tang Song was actually a slightly larger supporting role. He didn't have many roles. In order to make myself more outstanding in this drama, I also specially complimented the screenwriter.
While some of the settings were adapted to the characters of Tang and Song Dynasty, I also complimented the screenwriter and said that his ideas were really amazing and he was able to set up such a brilliant character. You don’t know, when I said those words, the screenwriter had a look on his face.
I'm confused, and I look like, 'It turns out that the character I set is so awesome.'" Zhang Yuxuan said with excitement, and a little bit of pride and pride.
"The screenwriter changed the script according to the setting you said?" Li He said with a smile. She was not surprised by this, because when Zhang Yuxuan first debuted, or when she first started filming with Yuxuan Zhang, Zhang Yuxuan wanted to make the role better.
To be more outstanding, just do some small actions, add some characteristics to your character or change some personality.
In order to make Wang Hao stand out more, the rich second-generation Wang Hao in Pink Girl, Zhang Yuxuan bought clothes specially. There is also the Demon Lord Qiye in A Chinese Ghost Story, in order to make the Demon Lord Qiye more outstanding and eye-catching, he also secretly changed it.
Part of the character.
So in the drama Eighteen Years Old Sky, it is really quite normal for Leslie Cheung to do some tricks.
It's just that when Zhang Yuxuan was not popular, he worked so hard and studied so hard. After he became popular, he didn't have the same care as before.
Just like Double Cannon and The Shadow, in these two dramas, Zhang Yuxuan acted completely according to the scripts given by the crew, without any thought of changing the character's settings to make the character more outstanding and charming.
So is Zhang Yuxuan considered to be a ‘little rich man’?
"It's a pity. If only Yuxuan worked as hard and put in so much effort to move up now as he did then." Li Hen thought silently in his heart.
Zhang Yuxuan didn't know what Li He was thinking, but he was watching the drama "Eighteen Years Old Sky" with some interest.
After all, it is the first official drama in his life, and Zhang Yuxuan still has a good impression of this drama, or his feelings are quite special.
Looking at Tang Song on the TV, who was obviously much more immature than himself now, Zhang Yuxuan also felt a little emotional.
At that time, I put so much thought into such a role. If this kind of drama were put in front of him now, he might not accept it even if he wasn't the protagonist.
