Chapter 183: Artistic Processing
Xie Kun has been a little irritable in the past two days, the post-production of the movie is almost the same, and he is quite satisfied with the finished film, but the theme song is delayed here.
He actually hesitated for a long time to take over this movie, this kind of movie is not easy to make, the original book has been popular for a long time, book fans have great expectations for the movie, and the feelings are surging, this is the memory of people's youth, how can they want a perfect movie. But the imagination is too perfect, and it is difficult to satisfy fans of the original book with this kind of adapted movie.
Xie Kun is a very serious person, at first he didn't want to take this movie, because it was not right, and his reputation was easy to collapse.
But I couldn't stand the money given by others and the conditions were good, so I took it.
After receiving the movie, he must have exhausted his whole body, hollowed out his mind to shoot it well, not to mention satisfying everyone, at least the reputation should not be too bad.
"My Youth", the story Xie Kun has never experienced, it does not prevent him from letting go of his mind to imagine and depict, just the storyboard script made him lose a lot of hair.
Now that the movie has been filmed, because the producer has given him a lot of rights, he edited the whole process by himself, and the plot is completed with a high degree of control.
At the beginning of the filming, he had already thought that the movie should not only show the picture, but also have a song, a song that can run through the whole story itself and carry the feelings of the audience.
So Xie Kun found a lot of musicians and asked them to write a theme song for the movie, but the result was not very satisfied, and he found several in a row, most of which ended up shaking their heads.
Many people say that he is too demanding, a theme song, the icing on the cake, as long as it sounds good, even the producer came to communicate with him, wanting him to lower some requirements and not delay the progress of the movie, Xie Kun is under pressure, or wants to keep improving.
Just yesterday, a well-known musician sent a song, the lyrics are very good, but the taste is not right, and it is a little worse when it blends with the movie.
Now it's a bit difficult, do you really want to lower the requirements as everyone said?
At this time, his mailbox popped up with a new email.
Xie Kun looked up and saw that the sender was Tao Lin, his head turned, and he thought of the person introduced by Lin Fengyi some time ago.
He and Lin Fengyi are old classmates and have a good relationship, and the last time I called, I mentioned it to the other party with the intention of complaining, but I didn't expect the other party to say that he remembered a musician and asked him to contact him to give it a try.
Xie Kun didn't have hope, but after listening to "The First Dream", he felt that this musician is not famous, it seems that he has not written many songs, but Xie Kun is looking at the songs, not fame, if he can write the quality of "The First Dream", it is a big deal to find the original author to help fill in the lyrics.
He asked Lin Fengyi to help contact him, and the other party also agreed, and it didn't take long for the songs to be sent.
Xie Kun stared at the email, still with some expectations in his heart, if this song can satisfy him, then everything will be fine.
The first thing to think of was the title of the song and the lyrics, Xie Kun looked at it carefully, his eyes lit up slightly, there was that taste!
The lyrics were very satisfied, he clicked on the music, the lonely piano accompaniment and the singer's soul-touching singing, from the first lyrics he listened to his eyes and hands clapping, and the plot of the movie came to his mind.
That's right, that's what it feels like!
Xie Kun listened to it several times, then picked up the phone and dialed Lin Fengyi, laughing, "Lao Lin, Lao Lin, you have lacked virtue for so many years, and you have finally done a good thing!"
Lin Fengyi didn't react at first, thinking about what kind of nerves Xie Kun had in this guy, but after thinking about it, he understood, and couldn't help laughing angrily: "I did you a favor, and I have to be buried by you? It's not me who lacks virtue, it's you Xie Dekun!"
The relationship between the two has always been good when they were in school, and later the trade union organized the director to study, and the two are the same batch, and the relationship has not faded over the years, and it is a daily routine to call each other to meet and lose each other.
"It's not that I said, this song is really amazing, I feel that the author is a fan of old books, otherwise how could I write such a song, whether it is the melody or the lyrics, it is a match made in heaven. ”
"You see if the songwriter is called Chen Ran, if so, it should be right, people are not very old, I guess I read books when I was in school, and I am not afraid of you scolding me, in fact, I don't have much hope of introducing it to you, but now it seems that people are really capable people. ”
Lin Fengyi heard Xie Kun's praise just now, and he also wondered whether to find Tao Lin and ask Chen Ran's contact information, but now he can't use it, and when the new drama starts, he may still have a chance to cooperate.
Just like Xie Kun, he is also a person who does not compromise, otherwise when Tao Lin found him, he would not have changed the song without hesitation.
......
Tao Lin was not surprised at all when she received the call.
When Zhang Fanzhi practiced singing today, she had listened to it several times, and the song "Later" really got better and better the more she listened to it, and the more she listened to it, the more she felt it.
She used to watch "President Don't Run: Chasing Love Little Sweetheart", "One Child and Three Treasures: The President's Father is Too Powerful" and the like, what youth didn't look at at all at that time, let alone getting older.
But after listening to this "Later", I have an urge to watch it, and it would be really strange if such a powerful song was not selected.
"Xiyun, Director Xie is very satisfied with the song, and it has been determined that the song will be the theme song of "My Youth". ”
Tao Lin was a little uncontrollable happy, and the corners of her mouth were crooked and smiled.
It was simply the song written by Chen Ran that was chosen, she must be happy as an introducer, but she was not so excited, the key song was sung by Zhang Fanzhi.
I don't know what the situation of the movie is now, whether it will be popular, but no matter how bad the movie is, it will always be announced, right?
Even if the movie pounces at the end, Zhang Fanzhi's fame will only be greater!
Zhang Fanzhi can also think of the reason when she sees Tao Lin so excited, unlike the usual waves, today she always has a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth.
Originally, Tao Lin wanted Zhang Fanzhi to tell Chen Ran the news, but after thinking about it, in order to show respect, she personally called Chen Ran with Zhang Fanzhi's mobile phone.
"Teacher Chen, I'm Tao Lin, and the song you wrote was selected by Director Xie of "My Youth". ”
"Picked?"
Although it was a question sentence, Chen Ran didn't feel too surprised.
He didn't read it, but he read the synopsis, and it matches the song very well, if he can't choose it, then he can't be blamed, it can only be said that everyone's ideas and appreciation levels are different.
Tao Lin talked to Chen Ran for a while, in addition to thanking him, he also talked about the copyright of the song, and said that Chen Ran didn't need to go to them, Chen Ran was too busy here, and the crew would let people come over to Chen Ran to sign the authorization, so he didn't need to run around.
This saves Chen Ran trouble, now he is busy making new shows, and he doesn't have to rest on Sundays, and if he wants to take a day off to sign a contract, it will take a lot of effort.
Hanging up the phone, Chen Ran felt funny.
Tao Lin has known him for a long time, and after talking to him so much on the phone just now, he opened it all and looked at it, and the two big words "polite" could be clearly seen from it.
This is really politeness, not the kind of false politeness.
When Ah Chu Chen Ran first met Zhang Fanzhi not long ago, Tao Lin couldn't get used to Chen Ran, worried that he, a weasel, was not happy to kidnap Zhang Fanzhi, and kept coping with it with a smile, which was the so-called false politeness.
At this time, the attitude changed 180 degrees, from the beginning of Mr. Chen, to Chen Ran, and now to Mr. Chen, the title has changed a few times.
Originally, Chen Ran was worried that because of Tao Lin's existence, the relationship between him and Zhang Fanzhi would develop slowly, and if the other party got in the way, there would be disagreements.
Now he is relieved, but he is a little reluctant because the other party is too polite, after all, he and Zhang Fanzhi have been hiding from her before, and all kinds of lies are pinched up, and they are deceived badly.
......
The preparation of the show is as usual.
The talent show is already a very mature system, and in addition to the different content, the talent show can be produced with previous experience, so the preparation period was smooth sailing, and there were basically no accidents.
It is because of their propaganda that some criticism occasionally appears on the Internet.
is basically talking about what age it is, Zhaonan Satellite TV is still engaged in talent shows, while eating plagiarized meals, while shouting about the development of originality, the talent show will not work when the time comes, and you will have to obediently plagiarize foreign programs.
The manuscript was sent by some self-media, and there were many people who forwarded it, and they agreed with it, and some staff members carefully identified it, they are not water armies, they are normal netizens.
Chen Ran is not surprised by this, Zhaonan Satellite TV's ratings are good, but the reputation is very bad, these are all microcosms on the Internet, representing many people's views on Zhaonan Satellite TV.
Their show is ostensibly a talent show, and when everyone is tired of watching the talent show, it is normal for someone to criticize before the show is made.
Chen Ran didn't care about these manuscripts, so they had to say that it was a good thing to be scolded at this time, anyway, it was scolded in the void, and there were no substantive black spots, and it was not fragrant if it was a little more hot.
In addition to commercial performances in the past two days, Zhang Fanzhi also had to record "Later" during the break, so he didn't come back, but the crew of "My Youth" came to him to sign a contract.
Chen Ran didn't have much time, so he could only take a run during the lunch break.
Director Xie Kun didn't have time to come, it was the producer and the author of the original book who came.
What surprised Chen Ran a little was that the original author of this book turned out to be a slightly chubby man in his forties, he always thought that this type of author was written by gentle female authors, and this image was really unexpected by him.
The author of the original book came over because he himself listened to the song and felt that Chen Ran understood him, so he came to see him in person, and when he saw Chen Ran so young, he thought that Chen Ran was his senior book fan, and pulled Chen Ran to talk about the plot of the book for a long time.
This made Chen Ran very embarrassed, he was not a fan of other people's books, and he hadn't even read the book seriously, how could he talk about it that day?
However, Chen Ran can be fooled, so he used the synopsis he had read and the names of the characters he had written down, and chatted with the author of the original book for a long time, and people thought he was really a book fan, and gave him a set of collector's edition autographs before leaving.
Chen Ran looked at the back of the original author and fell into deep thought, just now the author said that the story is based on his real experience......
But with his image as a template, how to write the handsome and young male protagonist in the story?
Although it is said that the source of art is higher than life, it is also much higher!
