    Chapter 72

    “What’s wrong? Didn’t we agree to stand on the stage together again?”

    “Director Cheng asked me to shoot a movie. It was originally scheduled for a later date, but he suddenly said he would have to train in advance. It was too late for me to attend the show again.”

    Fang Xingcheng’s words were 30% true and 70% false.

    Fang Xingcheng, who has won two TV dramas, has long planned to switch to the big screen.

    After all, he has almost reached the end of his career in TV dramas.

    That’s how the industry is right now.

    No room for improvement in sight.

    There is quite a lot of room for regression.

    Although Fang Xingcheng already has the right to select the script.

    But there are very few good books nowadays.

    In fact, Fang Xingcheng has long planned to transition into the film industry in the future.

    It’s just that he carries a lot of attention.

    Shi Di’s first movie appearance can be regarded as a gimmick.

    A double-edged sword for others and for ourselves.

    Of course Fang Xingcheng had to choose carefully.

    From the script to the production team to the director’s personal level.

    They are all within Fang Xingcheng’s consideration.

    In the end, Fang Xingcheng chose this crew.

    Chen Cheng will follow up and communicate the details.

    During the time when Fang Xingcheng and Bai Song were recording the love drama, Chen Cheng had already communicated very well.

    It was a future fantasy movie.

    The time is set at the end of the world thousands of years later.

    It’s a science fiction movie.

    Fang Xingcheng plays the male protagonist Shen Misheng.

    The cast and crew are not considered big names.

    The director and screenwriter did not have any famous or award-winning works before.

    The crew’s capital is not huge either.

    What attracted Fang Xingcheng to make his choice was their willingness to spend three years polishing the script.

    Three years is not a long time, but for new directors and screenwriters, three years is a golden time.

    There has been no new work produced for three years, and things will not be good for me in the future.

    But they gritted their teeth and persisted.

    In the end, the script really impressed Fang Xingcheng.

    Although there are still some details that need fine-tuning.

    After Fang Xingcheng saw the script, he decided to make it his screen debut.

    The choice of Fang Xingcheng is not just a popular actor for this group.

    Fangxingcheng brings its own capital, its own popularity, and its own traffic.

    In the words of director Xiao Cheng.

    It’s “Fang Xingcheng’s arrival made the whole crew shine with splendor and blue sea and blue sky” – fortunately Xiao Cheng is the director and not the screenwriter.

    This writing technique basically bids farewell to the circle of screenwriters.

    Originally, they had agreed on a time to join the group.

    After the recording of “Collections from the Sea”.

    Later, Director Cheng explicitly and implicitly wanted to discuss the schedule with Fang Xingcheng.

    Because of a series of reasons such as capital funding to support actor schedules and so on.

    Director Cheng hopes that Fang Xingcheng can start the group before August.

    They have martial arts training and it will take at least two months before they can officially shoot.

    This just affected the recording of “Collections from the Sea”.

    Fang Xingcheng had clearly rejected it before.

    Lost time compensation is a small matter.

    No matter how much effort or expense is wasted, he will make up for it.

    He wants to stand on the stage again with Bai Song.

    This is their wish.

    He promised Bai Song to come true.

    …But Teacher Wang is right.

    It shouldn’t be now, it shouldn’t be his willfulness.

    So he told Chen Cheng that he felt that what Director Cheng said made sense. Since he decided to play this role well, he should start with preparations.

    Fang Xingcheng decided to join the group and listen to Director Cheng’s arrangements.

    Time naturally collides with “Collections from the Sea”.

    Fang Xingcheng regretfully showed Bai Song the message that Director Cheng sent him.

    “This is the situation. I can’t go to the variety show recording with you. Teacher Bai has to work hard alone!”

    Knowing that Fang Xingcheng couldn’t go because he was filming a movie, Bai Song naturally raised his hands and feet to support him.

    That was Fang Xingcheng’s dream.

    It is Fang Xingcheng’s future.

    Bai Song will never cut off the future of others because of his personal wishes.

    He was even happy for Fang Xingcheng.

    “We can’t delay this. We must go, Brother Xingcheng, and perform well. I will book the venue for you when the time comes!”

    “I will also watch your program regularly, but don’t embarrass me.”

    “Can’t–can–”

    “Come back as a champion, Bai Song.”

    “You still need to tell me?”

    Whether you are filming a movie or recording a variety show, you need to be well prepared.

    The two of them were visibly busy.

    Bai Song even turned down all work and only practiced singing in seclusion.

    This is a song competition show.

    Singer Bai Song is coming back.

    Fang Xingcheng had a secret that he didn’t tell Bai Song.

    There was a time when he had severe insomnia.

    You can’t fall asleep until dawn.

    Until one day.

    Fang Xingcheng accidentally heard someone singing.

    Then I slept soundly and soundly.

    From then on, this name was the only one on Fang Xingcheng’s bedtime playlist.

    Mr.White.

    Fang Xingcheng knew it was Bai Song.

    Baisong’s singing and articulation are special.

    Fang Xingcheng, who had been with Bai Song day and night, heard it right away.

    No stage moment.

    Bai Song did not give up music either.

    Countless images flashed before Fang Xingcheng’s eyes.

    Many years ago, Bai Song won the division championship.

    In the finals, fireworks sparkled behind the two of them.

    Every time Bai Song sings on stage.

    …Also, Bai Song wears a hat, lowers his head, and sings without showing his face.

    Bai Song was born to be a singer.

    Not singing would be a waste of his talent.

    Fang Xingcheng had only one thought in his mind: his star should shine on the stage and not be buried in the sand.

    ——Let Bai Song continue to sing wantonly and bravely.

    Lighting, microphone, sound…

    Stand on the stage again.

    Bai Song closed his eyes and raised his head.

    The next second, music started.

    Bai Song went through three rehearsals before officially recording the first stage.

    Bai Song was still a little nervous at first.

    After all, the time away from the big stage is indeed a bit long.

    Bai Song, who only sang online, had a hard time finding the right way to sing.

    But it was much better the second time.

    At the end of the third time, the PD patted Bai Song on the shoulder and told him that his performance was perfect and that it would be better if he relaxed more.

    Rehearsal is over.

    Bai Song felt dissatisfied.

    He has to work hard.

    On the road to dreams, Fang Xingcheng has already taken the first step.

    He cannot be left behind by Fang Xingcheng.

    Bai Song put on his headphones and practiced silently over and over again.

    night.

    The first stage recording officially started.

    The first stage kicked off with the drawing of lots.

    The contestants each set off from the lounge and entered the studio for their first stage performance.

    There are three instructors grading the initial stage.

    If one instructor raises a placard to pass, the contestant is to be determined; if two teachers raise a placard to pass, the contestant is Class B; if three teachers all raise a placard to pass, the contestant is Class A.

    But if the performance fails to impress any of the instructors, then unfortunately, the journey of “Shifting from the Sea” ends here and the contestant will be eliminated.

    There are five places in Class A and fifteen places in Class B.

    If the contestants are excellent, the upper limit of places can be increased at the discretion, but the maximum number will be more than 20 people and will not exceed 30. This is what the director told each contestant privately.

    There are about thirty-seven or eight contestants who have signed up for the first stage.

    This means there is still a certain chance of being brushed.

    Bai Song didn’t dare to relax.

    Players cannot see other people’s performances in the lounge.

    One has to walk through a long passage alone and deal with the camera before one can reach the stage.

    The test starts from the first second the camera starts recording.

    Contestants who enter the hall and take their seats after the first stage can watch the next contestant’s first stage performance on the big screen.

    So it’s a good thing to finish the performance early.

    Not only can you relax, but you can also observe other players in advance.

    It’s a pity that Bai Song is not very lucky.

    Draw lots and get the last one.

    In other words, Bai Song couldn’t see anyone’s stage performance, and even because he was in last place, he would face the risk of the instructor being exhausted from recording.

    The best pick is the middle.

    Someone always has to be last.

    I’ve finished smoking, so I don’t want to think too much.

    As long as you perform well, you will always shine.

    A few long hours passed, and finally it was Bai Song’s turn.

    The initial stage of “Collections from the Sea” only allows one and a half minutes of performance, but there are no restrictions on how to perform.

    Singing, dancing, singing and dancing…even performing magic are all allowed, as long as they can be approved by the judges.

    Bai Song chose to sit in the middle of the stage with a guitar on his back.

    There were three people sitting at the judges’ table.

    In the middle is music instructor Wang Jianye, on the left is dance teacher Cheng Zhe, and on the right is stage designer Zhao Jiulong.

    The best way to showcase a singer’s skills is to sing a cappella.

    Bai Song chose to play and sing by himself, without any gorgeous accompaniment, just using a guitar, sitting in the center of the stage, strumming the strings and singing in the dark.

    As Bai Song’s voice sounded, the bright lights slowly turned on, hitting him.

    It’s like being carried into the long river of history by the murmuring song, which is enough to make the listener have a story-like picture in front of his eyes, thinking of the past and the past.

    The 29-year-old Bai Song has experienced too many things. Compared with the 19-year-old Leng Touqing, his voice has a more story-like texture and is less youthful.

    After Bai Song’s performance.

    Everyone was still immersed in his voice and couldn’t get away for a long time.

    There is still a lingering flavor.

    Especially Wang Jianye, the big brother who witnessed Bai Song in the past, was filled with emotion when he saw Bai Song standing on the stage again.

    Wang Jianye picked up the phone two or three times, but finally said nothing.

    Stage designer Zhao Jiulong was the first to speak: “Actually, in front of these professional singers, I shouldn’t comment on Bai Song’s singing first, but I see that other teachers are still immersed in Bai Song’s singing, so I’d better say it first. Did you write this song yourself?”

    Bai Song held the microphone and nodded: “Yes, the works written in the past few years are not very mature yet.”

    “Isn’t this immature?”

    Dance teacher Cheng Zhe said he was dumbfounded.

    Zhao Jiulong: “Actually, as designers, we like to come across a song that I like. When I just listened to you singing, I already had a picture of how to do this stage… So, it is a pretty good work, I will pick you.”

    At the end of the review, Zhao Jiulong raised his card first and gave the answer of “passed”.

    Without hesitation.

    Bai Song bowed and said humbly: “Thank you, teacher.”

    “Actually, I’m a little worried.” Cheng Zhe said, “Based on my experience, people who sing well are generally not good at dancing.”

    The sound engineer gives a funny sound effect at the right time.

    Everyone laughed.

    However, Cheng Zhe’s worry is not unreasonable. Dancing has always been Bai Song’s weakness.

    It has been since before.

    Otherwise, he wouldn’t have received a red card.

    Bai Song said without confidence: “I will try my best.”

    Be careful.

    Cheng Zhe: Haha.

    He understood, he understood everything, and understood the profound meaning behind Bai Song’s five short words.

    Cheng Zhe showed a painful expression and turned on the light.

    Cheng Zhe said: “I will work hard too.”

    Bai Song bowed again: “Thank you, teacher!”

    With two votes passed, Bai Song has firmly entered the next stage. At this moment, it depends on whether he will enter Class A or Class B.

    If Wang Jianye also gives Bai Song his vote, then he will enter Class A with three votes.

    Many people know that Wang Jianye and Bai Song debuted on the same show. As mentors and contestants who debuted at the same time, how should they choose?

    Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Wang Jianye who said nothing.

    “Bai Song is right, this song is not mature enough.” Wang Jianye said, “What motivated you to create this song, and why did you choose to sing it on this first stage today?”
