Chapter 298: The popularity caused by the shipwreck

When Wu Anzheng was excitedly chatting with the master about performance theory in Leonardo's mansion, the discussion in the West about the shipwreck changing the theme song became more and more popular on the Internet.

The shipwreck has been released in the East for almost a week, and in the West, especially in several cities where it premiered, a month's release has already passed, and even if it is postponed, it has been postponed for a month.

On some streaming platforms, an online version of the shipwreck is also starting to go live.

Although it is not as shocking as watching the 3D version of the shipwreck in the theater, as soon as the online version was launched, it was sought after by a large number of netizens.

Because, in the online version, Fox released two versions at the request of the majority of Western audiences, two versions with different soundtracks!

On Rotten Tomatoes, the votes of netizens, the support rate of the two versions, has been infinitely close to the same.

Because recently, the shipwreck is being screened in the East, many people have gone to the East, or chatted with their friends in the East about the Oriental version of the shipwreck, and also learned a lot of the latest film review information, as well as the views of ordinary audiences on the Oriental version of the shipwreck.

To their surprise, for the shipwreck of the new soundtrack, in the East, whether offline or online, there are basically no bad reviews.

Everyone said that Lin Bao's "My Heart is Eternal" as the soundtrack of the shipwreck was not abrupt, and even, when watching the movie, they didn't realize that the soundtrack had changed.

In the West, the song "My Heart is Eternal" itself is a rare song composed by an Oriental, amplified by the Vienna Music Festival, a hit in the West, and even on the sales weekly charts.

Many people also like such a violin piece very much.

And now, it is used as the theme song of the shipwreck, and in such a film that can be said to be a god-like existence in the minds of Western audiences, everyone naturally attaches great importance to it.

Even if, at present, in the forums, on Rotten Tomatoes, everyone's support for the two versions is basically half of the same. But what the real effect is, it still depends on each of you and the kind of experience you have for the film.

Therefore, on streaming platforms, as soon as the movie is launched, many people immediately buy and watch it.

Although, everyone has already seen the Western version, mainly because they want to see the Eastern version, however, the platform and publisher of the pit daddy force the two versions to be bundled and sold.

No way, in order to be able to see the shipwreck of the oriental version of the soundtrack, everyone can only endure the pain and buy it together, and then just click on the following oriental soundtrack version to see.

Soon, after watching the three-hour movie, everyone suddenly found that they had entered the plot all of a sudden, and even forgot about the background music for a while.

And even the audience who remembers this incident all the time and pays special attention to this matter also finds that this music is very consistent with the background of the whole story.

The movie clip, even because of this soundtrack, is a little more modified than the Western version, but the whole soundtrack editing is very good. I don't see any abruptness at all.

Moreover, everyone is also very familiar with the love story of Jack and Rousi in the shipwreck, and everyone has a different shipwreck emotion and soundtrack choice in their hearts.

According to the preconceived reason, it should be more optimistic about the Western version, after all, it is the original soundtrack, which has been more than ten years.

However, many Western viewers, after watching the two versions, found that they didn't know why, and actually liked the Eastern version a little more.

The soundtrack of "My Heart is Eternal", compared with the original version, is more suitable for the story of the shipwreck in everyone's hearts.

This is something that all the audience, even including Fox, and the production team did not expect.

Previously, Fox asked director Cameron to cut a version of "My Heart Is Eternal", and Cameron himself was a little reluctant, but he couldn't help it.

And after it was cut out, even if he was the director, I don't know how long he had been grinding for this soundtrack, the entire original picture and musical memory were still deeply imprinted in his heart, but for the new version, there was suddenly no resistance at all.

Maybe, it's the whole shipwreck story that can accommodate a lot of excellent music in the whole world, or maybe it's Lin Bao who took into account the plot and story about the shipwreck when he wrote this song.

In short, with the Eastern version of the shipwreck launched on Western streaming platforms, the music "My Heart Is Eternal" instantly became popular in the West and appeared on the best-selling hot list of the week.

And Lin Bao, an oriental musician, is also frequently mentioned by various Western media.

Many of his previous works, from "The mass", to "My Heart is Eternal", to his live music class with nearly one billion plays on YouTube, and then to the niche circle, "Pure Land of Bliss", a god-level music in the circle.

This musician with a variety of styles, amazing creativity, and unprecedented talent has once again ushered in a peak of popularity in the Western world under the premise of almost no personal publicity.

Even with it, many of the Chinese songs he created in the East were also uploaded to the music platform after being bought by Sony Music at a high price, and began to be sought after by netizens.

From the folk songs of the Oriental mainland to the very artistic conception of "Blue Lotus", even foreigners who cannot understand Chinese can listen to the songs that reach the realm, from opera music to unique drama music, the changing style of this oriental creator makes Western music critics and music circles feel amazing.

At the same time, the news that this musician crossed over and published a book "Actor's Self-cultivation" in the East was also quickly reported by the Western media.

This book of performance theory, which became a hit in the East in less than a year, has become a hit book and has sold millions of copies.

At the beginning, most Western people thought that it was because this musician was too popular in the East and was already sitting in the position of the godfather of music, so it contributed to this idol performance theory book, which could pass the popularity in the East.

However, when the media quoted some news reports from the East, Leonardo and Tom Hanks, two Hollywood superstars, appeared together in a small city in the East and met with Lin Bao, the author of the book who was making a movie there, which surprised everyone.

The two actors appeared at the same time, which must have ruled out the possibility of showmanship.

And soon, Leonardo and Tom Hanks also showed in public that this matter was true.

The two of them even began to recommend such a book to many admiring fans, some practitioners in the film and television industry, and students.

This shows even more that such a book on performance theory is really a book with great potential, just like the sales popularity in the East.

This kind of potential, even if the two actors, after seeing it, can't help but go to visit the book author to discuss performance theory.

Everyone is also very looking forward to seeing what kind of performance book this is.

Whether it is a variety of directors, actors, producers and many related professional students in the entire huge Hollywood industry, even many ordinary people, after learning that such a legendary musician actually published a book on performance theory, they also have the idea of wanting to buy.

It's just a Chinese version of the book, which is basically only sold in the East.

In the Western world, for a while, the enthusiasm for buying such books is high, and there is even a phenomenon of speculating on book prices.

Soon, the top five publishing houses in China, Hill Publishing Group, announced that it had negotiated the copyright with Lin Bao and would release the English version of "Actor's Self-cultivation" within three months.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Western world, especially in the United States, rushed to report it.

Many people don't know much about some foreign news, and they don't know much about the whole ins and outs of this matter, but they feel a little strange when they see that on the Internet and in the media, there is a crazy rumor that the English version of a performance theory book is going to be released.

When did these media, who only see money, begin to discover their conscience and recommend such theoretical books?

In short, because of the shipwreck, everyone's attention to Lin Bao and such a performance theory book strongly recommended by the two major actors.

This sudden outbreak of geothermal relevance, even Hill Publishing Group itself did not expect it, so it directly advanced the original half-year release plan by two months.

Not to mention the quality of the book itself, with the current popularity, it is worth their full attention to the publication of such a book, and let other books make way for it.

Moreover, in recent years, with the development of the Internet and the spread of online content, the traditional publishing industry has begun to show some signs of stagnation or even decline.

In the face of such a situation, one of their most important ways out is to start pursuing heat like the development of the network economy.

The development of some popular IP resources has brought about publishing dividends, which they urgently need to seize now.

I didn't see that those small traders who relied on the popular IP to buy helmets and weapons have already relied on this to buy castles, and there is no reason why they should not get a piece of the pie if they are both physical books with both commemorative significance.

However, compared with all kinds of fancy figures and derivatives, the biggest reason for physical books is that there is too little content for them to form chapters.

The popular Star Wars theme, all kinds of derivatives are renovated, but the book, the original book, just such a set, is not enough.

Therefore, like this time, a book by a popular figure like Lin Bao that is likely to be a global hit is a very rare opportunity.

Through other channels, Hill Publishing Group also learned that there have been other top booksellers communicating with Lin Bao recently, but fortunately, it is on their own side that they have a relationship like Tom Hanks, coupled with the latter's vision, they found Lin Bao in advance and completely won the copyright this time.

Therefore, when they saw the Western world and began to discuss the increase in popularity of this book, they even wanted to urge all the efficiency to complete the publication and publication of this book in the shortest possible time.

However, the publishing process cannot be achieved overnight.

For other links, you can rely on the capital behind you to open the back door, and the most important thing is the translation of this book.

According to the provisions of the contract, Hill Publishing Group found some of the most professional performance theory masters and translation experts in China, and completed the translation of more than 700,000 words of the book as quickly as possible, and then sent someone to take the manuscript to the East to find the original author for review.

It takes time, the final draft is obtained, and it still needs to be printed and distributed, but according to the estimation of Hill Publishing Group, it can be listed in at least three months.

......

This way.

Magic City.

During this time, Lin Bao was much more idle than during the previous filming period.

Netizens are also very happy to often see the boss of Bao'er sitting in the signboard sitting posture at the door of the barbecue restaurant in the music square, grilling skewers, looking comfortable and leisurely.

The post-editing of "Farewell My Concubine" has been completed, and the publicity work was handed over to Zheng Rong in the studio to negotiate and communicate with the other two Tang people and the opera association.

The theme song of the movie has been written, and in less than two weeks from the end of filming, the recording has basically been completed.

This is still because Lin Bao was a little worried about Yu Chenghao's own state, so he deliberately slowed down the pace of recording, wanting to help the latter slow down.

In addition, "A Song of Ice and Fire" is updated on time every day, as well as the signboard sitting position in front of the barbecue restaurant.

After Hill Publishing Group sent the first English draft of "The Self-cultivation of Actors", Lin Bao began to revise it.

His own English level has reached a very high level, combined with his own understanding of this performance system, so in terms of revision, the speed is also very fast.

But even so, the content of 700,000 words, he needs at least a week or more.

In addition to updating, revising manuscripts, and taking time to burn some roasts, Lin Bao's daily fixed plan is also an additional physical exercise.

Compared with other creations, film works like "Farewell My Concubine" can be regarded as using seven or eight points of his strength.

His own physical condition can only be said to be ordinary, and the continuous shooting in the previous months made De Linbao himself feel that his physical condition was much worse. Whether it is physical or mental, there is some exhaustion.

Therefore, Zheng Rong also arranged a workout plan for him a long time ago, and every morning and evening, special meal recipes and personal exercise plans began to be implemented.

"Just use this version, I think this version works best!"

In the recording studio on the fifth floor of the Music Plaza, Lin Bao reviewed more than a dozen versions of the theme song of "Farewell My Concubine" recorded by the Sewing Machine Band and Yu Chenghao, and finally selected one version as the final promotional version.

"Okay. ”

Yu Chenghao next to him nodded.

"Yes, a few of us also think this version is good. ”

Several members of the sewing machine band also smiled and nodded, "After that, I'll send it to Zheng Rong." ”

In fact, music is inherently a subjective content of appreciation.

These dozen or so recorded versions, in fact, are very different from each other, and when they are chosen, they are mostly subjective.

However, the final decision is naturally still with Lin Bao.

Everyone also trusts him.

"Senior, the recording is over, what are your plans next?"

Lin Bao turned his head to look at Yu Chenghao who was sitting next to him.

"Next...... I don't have any other plans for the time being, so I'm going to go back to Beijing first and go home for a few days. ”

Yu Chenghao said with a slight smile.

"On my side, I have a new song plan, I don't know if you're interested?"

Lin Bao said with a smile, "When I chatted with Mr. Qiao Mu before, I said some Cantonese music, do you want to participate together?"

"yes, why don't you come, we're going to form a new band! Why don't you come and be the lead singer for us?"

Qiao Mu said half-jokingly.

"Don't don't, even if it's a real band, I'm still a guitarist for Mr. Qiao Mu, and you're still the lead singer. ”

Yu Chenghao waved his hand hurriedly, and then said with some apologies, "But I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao Mu, a few teachers, I haven't been in a very good state lately, I'm too tired from filming, and I want to rest for a while." After that, if we have the chance, how about working together again?"

"No problem!"

Qiao Mu smiled, "Yes, you see that you have been filming for several months, and then you came over to record music for two weeks, and you really need to go back and have a good rest." Don't look at your youth, you still have to pay attention to your physical state, you look at a few of us, we just didn't pay attention when we were young, all kinds of wandering outside, and now there are all kinds of small problems in the body, it's really torture...... You really have to go back and rest. ”

"Okay, I remember!"

The corners of Yu Chenghao's mouth raised a slight smile.

Qiao Mu and the others had no other ideas.

But Lin Bao, looking at Yu Chenghao, couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.

The day after the recording, Yu Chenghao was ready to fly back to Beijing.

Lin Bao personally escorted him to the airport, and looked at the back of him dragging his suitcase and entering the security checkpoint with his assistant, and the uneasiness in his heart suddenly increased.

Although he repeatedly told Yu Chenghao's assistant, the uneasiness in his heart continued in the next week.

Even, there were a few times when I dreamed of some images.

After waking up, he contacted Yu Chenghao's assistant the next day to confirm Yu Chenghao's state before he put his mind at ease.

Until the last day of May, early in the morning, Lin Bao received a phone call, and when he saw the name of Yu Chenghao's assistant on it, he couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in his heart.
