Chapter 285: Peking Opera Boss
Behind him, Chen Muen was silent for a while and said, "Who do you think it is?"
"Don't talk nonsense,"
Liao Yuan smiled, turned back to the desk, sat down and took a sip of coffee, and then continued to pick up the tablet, opened the mailbox and looked at it.
One of the emails was from the famous director Zhang Yichi.
The last time he filmed "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", Liao Yuan wrote "Out of the Western Regions", which was widely acclaimed, and at the National Drama Awards Ceremony at the beginning of the year, "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" unsurprisingly became one of the top ten influential TV series of the year.
Zhang Yichi, who tasted the sweetness, found Liao Yuan again in a brand endorsement business event not long ago.
After "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", Director Zhang took a break for half a year and then released "The Emperor Kangxi" again, and after five months, he finally finished filming the whole drama, everything was ready, and the final theme song was missing.
This is specially vacated by Zhang Yichi, and he firmly believes that Liao Yuan can write the most suitable soundtrack for this drama.
At that time, Liao Yuan did not agree immediately, but only verbally said that he would consider it.
And today, Zhang Yichi sent the main plot of "The Emperor Kangxi", which mainly tells the life of Kangxi as the emperor.
In terms of the theme song, Director Zhang did not ask too much, and left it to Liao Yuan to be the master.
In fact, when Liao Yuan saw the word Kangxi, the lyrics "Emperors through the ages, leisurely everything, merit has its own people's words", the song title "Infinite Rivers and Mountains" is the theme song of a TV series "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview" that Liao Yuan often saw on TV when he was a child.
But at the same time, his eyes saw the word "Emperor", "Emperor, Emperor Kangxi......"
He muttered to himself.
Chen Muen originally wanted to talk to Liao Yuan about the 2022 Winter Olympics, because in the past two days, the Propaganda Department had called the company and asked Liao Yuan to write a promotional song for the Winter Olympics as soon as possible, but at this moment, seeing that the boss was deep in thought, she could only put down what she was doing, gently closed the glass door of the office, and left quietly.
"Kangxi the ...... the Great"
Liao Yuan thought of Han Lei and "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years".
The singer Han Lei, who was so popular that he was almost forgotten by people, blossomed for the second time with the show "Singer".
The song "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years" made this middle-aged out-of-fashion singer popular all over the land of China again, which can be said to have shaken the entire music world.
In his previous life, Liao Yuan and Han Lei did not have much intersection, but they had met at an event held by CCTV, and he had personally listened to Han Lei sing "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years" as a guest.
And whether it is "Infinite Rivers and Mountains" or "Borrow Another 500 Years from the Sky", a TV series similar to the emperor and general is a good song, even if it can't do the role of sending charcoal in the snow, it can be icing on the cake, so as not to smash your own signboard.
Liao Yuan smiled, and when he turned on the computer, he began to hum the lyrics of his memories while tapping on the keyboard in the document.
Half an hour later, he left the office and went into the recording studio in full view.
......
"Director Zhang, Director Zhang, Teacher Liao replied to the email, but there are two MP3 attachments, I have downloaded them to the USB flash drive, do you listen to it now, or ......"
"Now!"
In the editing room, Zhang Yichi took off his headphones, got up and asked the assistant to plug UP into the player.
"Wait a minute, what are you talking about? There are two songs?"
Zhang Yichi thought he had misheard.
"Yes, there are two, I just auditioned them for a few seconds and I think they are two good songs. The assistant said with a smile.
Zhang Yichi's eyes lit up, and he kept nodding and said, "Yes, yes, Liao Yuan, this kid can, he is righteous enough." β
As soon as the words ended, there was a prelude to the player alternating between various instruments, including a large section of trombone, cymbals, and a violin concerto throughout the prelude.
Zhang Yichi nodded, just the prelude, it has a lot of Chinese elements, it seems that Liao Yuan is attentive.
"Five-flowered horses, Qingfeng sword, infinite rivers and mountains
One trip by night, one journey by day, the rotation of the stars and the moonβ"
Rapid breathing could be heard throughout the editing room.
Zhang Yichi gasped, this is ...... Liao Yuan's singing?
He thought he had heard it wrong, but there was an inexplicable familiarity, until the song progressed, and he finally heard the doorway.
Liao Yuan's singing style is integrated into the singing voice of Peking Opera flower face, Zhang Yichi, as a director specializing in ancient history, knows much more about Peking Opera than ordinary people, and there are many singing methods in Peking Opera singing, including flower face, old student, small student and other singing voices.
In terms of melody, the flower-faced singing voice is more concise, thick and straight, and the edges and corners are more concise than the old students' singing, and the line cavity of each word is less tortuous, and there are relatively large ups and downs between the words.
In terms of singing, the singing of the flower face often emphasizes more on the accuracy and prominence of the pronunciation of the words, the biting of the words is heavier, more realistic, and more attention is paid to the spout and strength, of course, the radio is also more crisp and clear, and sometimes more will use some complete nasal vowel method.
Although the voice of the flower face is the same as that of the old students, it has a completely different energy and charm.
When the flower face speaks, it either emphasizes the "tiger sound", "roar" and "explosive sound" to render the character's roughness, irritability, arrogance or ferocity, or pays attention to the "Huang Zhong Da Lu" style of chest and abdominal resonance and the "urn sound urn qi" of the head cavity and nasal and pharyngeal cavity resonance to portray the character's majesty, strength, heroism and straightforwardness.
In short, the vocal part is farther back than the old student, and the vocal cords and the muscles around it are more tense than the old student.
In this way, the sound appears wider and louder.
"Isn't Liao Yuan a pianist?" the assistant next to him said with an amazed face: "If I hadn't known this singing skill in advance, I would have thought that this was a Peking Opera master." β
"Liao Yuan sang "Light Years Away", which is very good. β
Other staff in the room said: "I just didn't expect him to sing Peking Opera." β
When Zhang Yichi heard this, he sighed with emotion, and after listening to the song "Infinite Rivers", he immediately slapped the table: "That's it......"
"Wait a minute, Director Zhang, there's one more song. β
The assistant said: "Teacher Liao said in the email, you look at these two songs, you can use which one is suitable, and it can be regarded as thank you for your promotion." β
"Promotion?"
Zhang Yichi was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered that when Liao Yuan was unknown, he bought "Out of the Western Regions" at a high price, which solved Liao Yuan's dilemma at that time.
It seems that there is a cause and effect as well.
He chuckled, waved his hand, and said, "Listen to the next one." β
