Chapter 447: Portrait (II)

There are traces of a creator's creative path, who influenced the transformation in which process, and which type of music style he prefers when listening to songs.

But Han Jue's path to music development has always been a mystery. Han Jue did not systematically study production, did not have a singer musician to admire, and did not have a master who influenced the formation of his style.

Han Jue's works are of different genres and involve many subjects, but he can rarely see the shadow of other people, or simply cannot see them. It was as if he had jumped out of the history of Chinese music out of thin air to create music. This surprised many insiders, and also made some villains who wanted to label him as "plagiarism" in vain.

Han Jue admitted frankly that he really rarely listens to other people's songs, and the amount of songs he listens to is pitiful, and his so-called creation, "in fact, is just to record the melody in his head", Han Jue said this sentence with shame, and seemed to grab a melody from his head, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately stood up and ran into the production room to write down the inspiration. It's another new song of good quality.

Han Jue's new home is not large, but it has a [production room] dedicated to making music, in addition to the music equipment brought from the high-end apartment, he has also added other more professional and expensive equipment.

"This was supposed to be a comic room. "When I first visited Han Jue's new home, he introduced [the production room] like this. And I can see from the several cartoon figures placed on the music equipment that Han Jue is telling the truth.

Han Jue's comeback to make music is very clear for money, and when the money is enough, he will stop and read a lot of comics. But when the money was really enough to stop, he hesitated again. He said he loved expressing his feelings through music.

"Expressions that appeal to the pen are often more serious and metaphysical, but it also gives people more opportunities to disguise. Music is different. ”

He didn't want to throw away those music equipment in the end.

When I moved, he hesitated, and I was bored waiting, so I took his instrument and played it a few times, and I saw that he was staring straight at my amateur fingering, and he stopped talking. I simply asked him to play a song, and he didn't refuse. In the middle of the messy living room, he set up the equipment with ease, connected it to the power supply, and wrote a new tune with a pen as soon as he finished playing.

I reminded him, and he stopped taking notes and looked at me, and then at the pen and paper in hand. He discovered that there was something more to music than money.

One of the conditions for Han Jue to be able to move to a new home at a low price was to write a movie theme song for his landlord.

Lao Jia is his landlord and is an American. At that time, Lao Jia was recruiting talents, and he was ambitious to make an English-language film in China, and only those who could help him could live in his house at a very low price. I recommended Han Jue, who can write English songs, to Lao Jia, and Lao Jia recognized Han Jue and immediately hit it off with Han Jue.

Han Jue taught himself English for three or four years, and his English composition has been no problem, and the two English songs he performed in the [New York Street] bar caused a sensation immediately after they were transmitted back to the United States. This is the key to impressing Lao Jia.

Han Jue's new home is very different from his old home, he seems to have really conceived it in his mind for a long time, and he already has a complete rendering. When it comes to adding furniture and interiors, Han Jue hardly needs to think about it. Go out for a walk and finalize all sorts of things big and small in an afternoon.

At that time, he had already left [Sands], alone, with no friends in the circle, no resources, and no agents and assistants to accompany him. Once a week, I record the only "Let's Be in Love" on my body, and the rest of the time I find a restaurant near my new home, watch movies, and visit a bookstore, just like an ordinary person. At the time, I thought he was really retired.

However, ordinary people didn't experience it for long, and jobs soon came to their doors. This work is also relatively rare.

After hearing Han Jue's two English songs that caused a sensation in the United States, the director and producer of "I AM A SINGER" immediately came to China to inquire about Han Jue's whereabouts, and sincerely invited Han Jue to participate in the competition in the United States.

Han Jue found it interesting after meeting the other party, so he agreed, because he could sing and "it is said that the sound equipment there is very good."

Han Jue, who is free, needs an agent to help him deal with things other than singing, but he almost doesn't know anyone, and there is no one who can help him temporarily take the position of an agent.

I happened to hear that Guan Yi, his agent in [Jinsha], couldn't stay in [Jinsha] after he didn't renew his contract, and resigned, Han Jue found Guan Yi and re-established the cooperative relationship.

At that time, Guan Yi was not a partner of Han Jue's studio, nor was he a party to [Pass the Pass Pass], and he only planned to do one vote for Han Jue's invitation. When Han Jue and Guan Yi sat together, they were like a couple with a poor relationship, and they hardly spoke except for the necessary exchanges at work.

Han Jue went from China to the United States to sing, which in the eyes of many netizens is a kind of exile and a kind of self-depreciation, but Han Jue's mentality is very flat.

Han Jue knew that the United States was not very enthusiastic about music, but he did not feel disgusted, but tried to contribute: "There are many ways to love art, but I think the best way is to make art more flat and become a necessity in everyone's life, rather than a luxury." ”

Han Jue only focused on the stage, singing "I AM A SINGER" like a new song press conference, throwing out a new music work every week, conquering the United States at an incredible speed, and fully demonstrating what it means to be talented.

Language may be an obstacle to the spread of music, but the emotions contained in beautiful melodies and songs have no borders. Han Jue's songs in the United States returned to China and appeared on the [Billboard], attracting a large number of Chinese people to pay attention to English songs and Han Jue.

Han Jue is the only singer who appears on both "Singer" stages at the same time. At the invitation of Zhang Yiman, Han Jue was able to appear in the finals of Huaxia's "Singer", and wrote songs and music for Zhang Yiman and Song Yin one after another, and his sense of presence is quite strong.

"I'm not trying to please the audience, I'm trying to please myself. "In the music of that period, Han Jue only cared about his own feelings.

Narcissism is the most basic trait of a creative person. If an artist does not fall in love with himself, then he will not fall in love with the world as he sees it.

Originally, I planned to follow up on Han Jue and write a manuscript about it, but the next thing made me decide to put this decision on hold.

The movie that Lao Jia had high hopes for failed to be made, and the crew was disbanded, and Han Jue, as Lao Jia's friends, joined several other friends to prepare a gift for Lao Jia, that is, to build a more reliable crew for him again.

In addition to continuing to write the theme song and score music, Han Jue also provided the script this time, "Time and Space Traveler".

Han Jue has undergone professional screenwriting training, and his sophistication is reflected between the lines, and he even has a special booklet to record the synopsis of each story he comes up with. After the director of the crew went on strike, Han Jue took the position of director from the position of screenwriter to the position of director. The photographer said that Han Jue's storyboards and director's explanations were professional.

This is another side that is completely different from the previous Han Jue.

Before conducting an interview, the reporter usually gets to know the interviewee and leaves with questions. Before I interviewed Han Jue, I also read a lot of materials and prepared a lot of questions, but in front of Han Jue, I found that all the materials I prepared were old and useless.

I didn't ask Han Jue where he learned to write scripts, where he learned to direct, and I didn't ask him why he wanted to learn these.

Asking him "why" makes me feel like a tourist standing in front of a building reading a guidebook, so busy reading the history of the construction of the house that it gets in the way of feeling the beauty of the building.

In order to watch Han Jue more completely, I decided to spend a longer time to see and feel.
