"A Laugh in the Sea" is a song that Gan Jing particularly likes.

When Ma Hammer talked about showing more Chinese characteristics on a stage like "Singing", he immediately thought of this song, "A Laugh in the Sea" changed its draft several times, and finally used the Chinese pentatonic scale "Palace, Shang, Horn, Zheng, Yu" as the melody, and it was "Yu, Zheng, Jiao, Shang, Gong" in reverse order.

In other words, the melody of this song does not have 4 (fa) and 7 (si), and the lyrics are filled in with ancient syllables, which is the most suitable for "singing".

Xie Xin and Ma Hammer both said that this song is very rare, and even the bassist Ah Liang, who was also unable to play because of this song, couldn't put it down, which may be due to the melody of "Great Happiness", but also because of the atmospheric and chic lyrics.

Gan Jing sent the song to the three of them when he returned to the capital, but he received a call from his girlfriend before half a day later, asking him to return to join the rehearsal, and strive to make the song the best expressive.

For this kind of brain-wrenching request, Gan Jing naturally refused without hesitation, on the one hand, he was really busy, on the other hand, he was really good at singing this song, unlike Xie Xin, who had just come into contact with him, he could come with his mouth open.

In addition, he has also paid extra attention to his throat in the past two weeks, and he feels that he will inevitably come back no matter what, so he has enough confidence.

The queen of heaven said that she would back down, but she deliberately found a suitable time for both Beijing and Paris to sing online, which was an attitude that was not in the previous two issues.

After two days, Gan Jing finally couldn't resist his curiosity and asked his girlfriend about the reason for such a performance.

"It's very simple, I'm singing, you're acting. ”

"Even if you are the best at singing among the actors, but you are an actor, I remember that you sang "The Hills" in the show once before, and some people said that you sang better than me. ”

"You know, even my fans say that. ”

"I think if I don't prepare well for this song, I'm afraid I will encounter that kind of evaluation, I will really be hit, when the time comes, will others say that you are better at singing by me or I am not doing my job properly by you? What's more, I actually played the heroine once. ”

Xie Xin's words sounded really sufficient, and Gan Jing had no choice but to obediently practice online with him, and by the way, he also accepted the influence of the top producers and singers in the industry.

Although he prides himself on being highly musically literate, he still has a lot of respect for the most professional people.

On March 24th, Gan Jing once again received a promotional sample submitted by director Xia Yan, this time following the exchange feedback after the unsatisfactory five-minute sample last time, from the lens language to the content settings.

"Brother Gan, after I contacted the Olympic Committee, I preliminarily drew up a list of athletes to be filmed, and some people were reluctant to face the camera. ”

"Well, normal, not everyone likes the camera. ”

Gan Jing looked down at the list of copywriters and appendices.

After a while, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere was different, looked up at Xia Yan, and said calmly: "If you have any opinions, you can say it, we have known each other for so long, what is it inconvenient to say?"

Xia Yan nodded and said, "Brother Gan, you told me last time about the style of this promotional film, and I have visited some disabled people in the past few days, not just athletes, so I feel that there is something missing in this direction now." ”

Gan Jing expressed encouragement with his eyes and listened attentively.

"The theme of this Paralympic Games is 'respect', I think our shooting and publicity are ......," Xia Yan hesitated for a few seconds and continued, "Brother Gan, you told me not to be afraid to show the weak side of athletes, I contacted them and learned that they will cry during training and feel like giving up, which is really shocking, but I still feel almost funny when I calm down and re-examine the direction of this copywriting." ”

Gan Jing asked, "What do you mean?"

"I couldn't say it for a while. Xia Yan said.

Gan Jing bowed to the female director and added a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Director Xia, please don't put away your director's desire to express, please put aside your scruples, what do you have to say, am I really a tiger now?" Eh, don't think like that, even if it is a tiger, I am not a gloomy tiger like Gu Anjiang, I am a good tiger." ”

Xia Yan smiled: "Brother Gan, when you say that as a director, you have something to do when you want to express it, do you also have to take a little picture of social responsibility?"

This time, she said to herself: "In the past few days, I have seen many facilities in the streets, shopping malls and other places that are not conducive to the activities of the disabled, some of which are completely absent, and some of which are better than non-existent, such as the slope in front of the supermarket, which is so steep that people are helpless and can't get on it at all." ”

"Hmm. Gan Jing groaned, thinking about the relationship between Xia Yan's words and the promotional video.

"I think that since it is the Paralympic Games, since it is a promotional film, we can't limit ourselves to the weakness of the so-called athletes, we can focus on the pain points of people with disabilities in more society, so that it is the real 'respect'. ”

"Although we took over the Paralympic Games this time, many people will definitely pay attention to the Games of this level, and the relevant departments can do something to improve the treatment of the disabled. ”

"I think since we are Beijing Blu-ray, it must be a little different from other companies. ”

Xia Yan finished speaking, and looked at the boss with some expectation.

Gan Jing frowned slightly, it is normal for directors to have a desire to express, but it is also necessary to divide things into occasions.

He organized the language and said slowly: "In most cases, I am used to separating things from things, which is easier to do, for example, commercial ticket sales are ticket sales, I can let the tickets and music before the release be hung together, but I will not say that the audience You buy a ticket, I will donate a dollar, so, you come and buy it." ”

"I'm not saying it's bad, it's just that in terms of my habits, I don't like to put it together. ”

Xia Yan nodded, she believed what the boss said, because Forrest Gump had a very low-key charity, it was said that it was because of the feeling that his daughter Gan Xuesi broke her leg once.

It's just that she is still a little disappointed.

Gan Jing continued: "Moreover, you also said that this time we are responsible for the affairs of the level is relatively high, many people will pay attention, normally speaking, in this case, the tone of the propaganda film is tendency, you say that you want to shoot the pain points of the disabled in China, so you can't shoot similar situations abroad?

"Things like that have to be considered, I say director, but it's just a director. ”

"From my current point of view, I have to pay attention to a little political correctness, so the tone of the propaganda film can't be moved. ”

Xia Yan nodded silently, she could understand this statement, but from the boss taking over the task to the situation of the disabled on the spot, she wanted to do something.

Gan Jing's expression remained unchanged, and the words changed: "The main promotional film is still according to the previous requirements, we can release another sub-film, and we can still focus on the Paralympic athletes, not to mention the things on the field, the style can be a little joking, do you know what I mean?"

Xia Yan was stunned.

Gan Jing thought she didn't understand, and said, for example: "Just take the very shaky slope you just said, how do you show the joke? Let an athlete rush up in a wheelchair like a ski, and then give a close-up and turn around and shrug helplessly, and you can also add a meaningful line 'They treat me as a superman, I'm really a superman' and something like that, understand?"

"Understood. Xia Yan suddenly excited, "Brother Gan, I understand, I will pay attention to this degree." ”

"It's just my personal suggestion, it's better to do things separately in the future, maybe, after this time, you can make a documentary, how about it?"

"Hmm. ”

Xia Yan nodded, well, this is the blue light of the capital.
