The final conclusion of the two people was that there should be no boundaries and they should do it first and then talk about it.
Wu Hongrong asked Chen Minhao to go back and sort out his thoughts first and determine the direction and concept of the album's theme.
Generally speaking, the quality of songs on an album ranges from high to low. But Chen Minhao plans to throw out a few trump cards and use an album full of high-quality songs to make other singers doubt their lives.
Chen Minhao's selection criteria are very simple: which direction songs are more likely to resonate and be sung by people. After determining the direction, he will directly search for songs in this direction in his mind.
All great works are tragedies. Although this statement is biased, it can also illustrate some problems from the side.
In Chen Minhao’s memory, there was a survey result that showed that compared to happy and happy content and plots, sad content and plots often resonate more with readers and audiences.
This is because the sad emotion lasts for a long time. It is difficult for readers and viewers to feel the joy and happiness of the creator personally, but they can easily feel the sadness and pain of the creator.
For this reason, Chen Minhao decided to choose sadness as the general direction for his first album.
Of course, the scope of grief is too great. Chen Minhao plans to make some subdivisions in this direction.
He finally settled on two words - farewell.
Life is like a journey. We travel on foot, coming and going, but we cannot avoid the sadness of parting. In fact, parting has been the source of poets' creations since ancient times: "Send Meng Haoran to Guangling at the Yellow Crane Tower", "Send to Wang Lun", "Send Lin Zifang to Jingci Temple at Dawn" and so on.
And there are many kinds of farewells, one is farewell after school graduation, one is farewell when lovers break up, and one is farewell after the death of a relative.
Chen Minhao returned home, sorted out his ideas and creative direction in words, and sent them to Wu Hongrong.
Rome was not built in a day. After finishing all this, Chen Minhao yawned, took a shower and went to bed.
On the second day after returning to Kyoto, Chen Minhao did not choose to rest and planned to go back to school directly.
The temperature in Kyoto began to gradually rise in March, but it was still very cold at 6:30 in the morning.
There is still a faint moonlight in the sky, and the vision is hazy, but the Beijing Film Academy campus is already awake.
Chen Minhao went to the cafeteria and ate two steamed buns and a bowl of tofu puffs. He quickly walked to the playground. There are already a lot of chanting sounds on the playground: whether it is a long "Ah-" or a well-written "Eight Hundred Pacesetters Running to the North Slope".
Chen Minhao found a corner with few people and started practicing:
"People are free. They can work hard and sacrifice for whatever they want. People are the truth! What is a person? It's not you or me, let alone them. Maybe it's you and me, maybe it's the old man, maybe it's Napoleon , maybe Muhammad, together they are human!”
The line that Chen Minhao practiced was Sha Jin's monologue in "At the Bottom", and he was immersed in the practice of this line. In fact, if an actor doesn't pay attention to his actions or read his lines, he will easily fall into going through the motions or clichés.
Understanding the emotions behind actions and lines requires actors to be sensitive at all times. For Chen Minhao, practicing early voice is to consolidate his line skills on the one hand, and on the other hand it is to keep himself sensitive and eliminate insensitivity.
This not-so-complex line was repeated hundreds of times by Chen Minhao. It was almost time for class. Chen Minhao put on a mask and walked to the classroom.
"Chen Minhao!"
When he heard someone calling his name, he subconsciously turned his head. It turned out to be Zhan Jieqiong, the deputy monitor of his class.
Zhan Jieqiong wore a plaid cotton coat, a light brown woolen scarf, a sweater skirt, black tights and high-heeled boots.
Chen Minhao looked at Zhan Jieqiong calmly and sighed in his heart: Losing weight will really affect a person's appearance. Zhan Jieqiong who has lost weight has indeed become much more beautiful.
"Chen Minhao, long time no see. I asked your roommate to get your textbook for you." Zhan Jieqiong said with a smile.
Chen Minhao nodded and said, "Okay, thank you. They have already told me via WeChat."
Zhan Jieqiong said shyly: "Although I did not audition for the "Detective" crew, I still want to thank you for giving me that opportunity."
Chen Minhao complained in his heart, "You have to reach out to catch the pie in the sky. I gave you the opportunity, but if you don't cherish it, I am helpless!"
But people are tough, so Chen Minhao smiled and asked with concern: "How is the rehearsal of your drama troupe?"
Zhan Jieqiong smiled awkwardly and said: "At first, one team member said that he was very busy with his job and wanted to take leave. More and more people began to take leave. Now the drama troupe is basically at a standstill."
"That's really a pity." Chen Minhao showed an encouraging smile and said, "You will meet better ones in the future."
Zhan Jieqiong flipped her hair and said, "Do you have any plans for the summer vacation?"
Hearing Zhan Jieqiong's words, Chen Minhao had already guessed what she was thinking, but Chen Minhao still said with a smile: "The winter vacation has just ended and I haven't gone to class yet. How can I think about the summer vacation?"
Zhan Jieqiong looked at Chen Minhao with expectant eyes and said, "If there is a suitable role for me in the future, can you help introduce me to it?"
Chen Minhao nodded and said: "Okay. If there is another suitable opportunity, I will help you pay attention."
The corner of Zhan Jieqiong's mouth immediately turned up and she said, "Great, I was originally worried that you would be angry because I didn't audition for "Detective"."
Chen Minhao immediately shook his head and said, "Of course I won't be angry."
Zhan Jieqiong happily said thank you, and her walking pace became much brisker.
Chen Minhao sighed in his heart, of course I won't be angry, but I will feel sorry for you.
The adult world is like Tetris. Successes will disappear, but mistakes will accumulate.
Take the matter of Zhan Jieqiong's refusal to audition for "Detective" as an example. Zhan Jieqiong refused this opportunity, but Lu Mengying won the opportunity and completed the performance brilliantly.
One of the impacts of this incident is that if Chen Minhao has a suitable young female role in the future, his first reaction will be Lu Mengying, not Zhan Jieqiong.
In addition, the movie "Detective" also had a great impact on the two people's popularity and connections.
When I was playing on the trampoline when I was a child, if I accidentally fell down, others would continue jumping next to me, making it difficult for me to stand up. This is adult life.
Chen Minhao was thinking wildly in his mind, and the two of them walked to the door of the classroom. As soon as he entered the classroom, the originally quiet classroom suddenly became a little noisy. Many classmates, deskmates, and roommates whispered:
"He was trending again yesterday, and it reached the top of the trend list because his fans picked him up in an orderly manner."
"Yes, the official Weibo account of Capital Airport also forwarded this news, and then the People's Daily's Weibo page also liked it."
"Hey, his popularity is so high, why does he come back to class? If I were as popular as him, I would definitely not come back to class."
"You just have this idea, so you definitely can't be as popular as him."
Although Chen Minhao sounded quite happy, he was still a little embarrassed to be whispered about by others in front of his face.
