230【Theme Music】
Now that the special effects of the movie have been completed, there are not many problems in the later stages of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the only link that Luo Yuan still has to participate in is the soundtrack of the songs and some clips in the movie, the original movie in his memory is undoubtedly a classic, and in addition to the wonderful performances of his brother and Wang Zuxian, the soundtrack created by the ghost music master Huang Zhan for this movie also contributed a lot.
"The dream of life is like a long road......
Sitting in the chair in the office, Luo Yuan's mind seemed to sound with the familiar BGM.
The song has the same name as the movie.
Divided into Cantonese version and Chinese version, the lyrics are slightly different, Luo Yuan is ready to use the Chinese version, although the world's Chinese Pearl River Delta region is speaking Cantonese, but the popularity of Chinese is more suitable for the screening of movies, and Luo Yuan feels that compared to the Cantonese version, the Chinese version of the song in his brother's "Qiannu Ghost" is not much inferior.
However, Cantonese has not been completely abandoned.
There is a fragment of Yan Chixia dancing the sword and singing in the movie, the song is called "Dao", this song can be completely in Cantonese and has no sense of disobedience, because this is a song belonging to Yan Chixia, not as the theme or interlude of the movie, including the singing is also completed by Zhang Qianzheng who plays Yan Chixia, for this song, Zhang Qianzheng recorded it for a week to finally achieve the best effect, fortunately, Zhang Qianzheng has a certain foundation in Cantonese, otherwise the process will definitely be more difficult.
It's a pity that Gu Yue can't sing "A Chinese Ghost Story".
Although he also has vocal training, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is one of the most difficult songs for his brother to sing, and Gu Yue's performance is still unsatisfactory, so Luo Yuan finally found one of the many male singers in China.
This male singer is called Umbrella.
Luo Yuan didn't know the specific information of this male singer very well, but he happened to hear the latter's song in the music player, so he wrote down the name, he felt that this person's voice was very meaningful, low and mellow, and it should be quite suitable for the song "A Chinese Ghost Story".
The person in charge of contacting the singer is naturally Gu Lang.
However, Gu Lang was a little confused when he learned of Luo Yuan's choice: "Why don't you find a veteran singer in the music world, but a little singer who is not well-known?"
"Because I like it. ”
Luo Yuan's answer made Gu Lang speechless, and in the end he could only obediently follow Luo Yuan's requirements, his own boss has always been a maverick master, and other directors try to choose big names to cooperate, but Luo Yuan seems to favor some newcomers who are not well-known.
Umbrella is signed to a small record label.
When he learned that the theme song of Luo Yuan's new movie was intended to be sung by the umbrella, the record company agreed without thinking about it-
Luo Yuan's new movie theme song!
has the opportunity to have a relationship with Luo Yuan's new movie, this is what many people dream of, and those who don't agree are all in their brains, and Liyu himself learned that Luo Yuan's new movie actually wanted to sing the theme song by himself, and his first reaction was......
Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?
In the music world, he is just a little-known little singer, although there are also some fans who are sought after, but with Luo Yuan's weight, shouldn't he be more suitable for cooperating with someone at the level of a singer and queen?
The umbrella was a little apprehensive.
This apprehension continued until he entered the elevator downstairs of the Crimson Entertainment Company, but it was still not alleviated: "Can I really do it?"
"You can!"
The agent who came with him saw the nervous and uneasy appearance of the umbrella, and said: "When you see Director Luo later, you must correct your mentality, Director Luo definitely doesn't want to see an umbrella without confidence!"
"I try to ......"
The agent took a quiet breath.
Compared with the apprehension of the umbrella, he was actually nervous: "Although Luo Yuan is a director, his ability to write songs is also ranked among the top in the music world, and most of the songs you want to sing this time are handled by him ......himself."
These words made the umbrella even more apprehensive.
As a person in the music world, of course Liyu knows how many people in the circle want to buy songs from Luo Yuan's hands, when the song "Invisible Wings", Luo Yuan can make the little diva Bai Yidong make a comeback, which has explained a lot of problems, but unfortunately Luo Yuan's song is too difficult to date, since "Invisible Wings", Luo Yuan has hardly written songs for anyone, and over time everyone has given up.
"Ding-dong. ”
The elevator stops on the ninth floor.
The umbrella and the agent walked out of the elevator, and Gu Lang's pre-arranged reception took the two into Luo Yuan's office.
"Luo Dao, hello!"
The agent of the umbrella opened his mouth with a smile, and the eight-sided exquisiteness is the necessary quality of the agent's profession, even if he is nervous, he will not write on his face like an umbrella: "This is the umbrella, I am his agent......"
"Hello. ”
Luo Yuan looked up at the two of them, and finally his gaze fell on Liyu's face: "I heard your song "Cloud", which is very good, did you write the song yourself?"
"Yes......"
Li Umbrella didn't expect that such a powerful director as Luo Yuan would actually hear his own song, and he was a little flattered for a while, and hurriedly said modestly: "Let Director Luo see and smile." ”
"...... like this"
Luo Yuan didn't doubt the professional level of the umbrella, what he wanted to know was whether the other party could sing the taste of the song in his memory: "There is a song here, you can sing it." ”
Luo Yuan handed a sheet of lyrics to the umbrella.
Standing umbrella nodded, took a deep breath, and then practiced quietly by himself, Luo Yuan didn't bother quietly, just asked the assistant outside to pour tea for the guests.
Ten minutes later.
Standing umbrella looked at Luo Yuan: "Do you want to try it here, I'm not particularly skilled now, I can only sing a rough ......"
"It's fine. ”
Luo Yuan said: "It's okay to sing two sentences." ”
The umbrella nodded, cleared his throat, and began to sing: "The dream of life is like a long road, let the wind and frost stay on the face, in the red dust, how many directions are there in the dream, find the beloved of the crazy dream, the road follows the people......"
Luo Yuan listened quietly.
This song needs a bass, there is a lot of nasal resonance, the sound of the umbrella is distinctive, it is not a problem in terms of recognition, the words are also clear, the tone is frustrated, and the graininess is full, so after the end of the first refrain, Luo Yuan said directly: "Okay, it's you." ”
"Okay?"
Liyu looked at Luo Yuan with some surprise, and immediately realized that he had something to do: "I'm sorry Director Luo, I'm too excited......
"It doesn't matter. ”
Luo Yuan smiled: "I hope you can become proficient in the song as soon as possible, but don't sing it in public before the movie is released, I hope the audience in the cinema can hear the song first." ”
This song goes well with the movie!
Although the words are excellent if you listen to them alone, the artistic conception cannot reach the best, so Luo Yuan hopes that the first appearance of this song will be amazing.
"Thank you, Director Luo!"
Li Umbrella hurriedly bowed, and the agent asked: "Can the news that Li Umbrella is the singer of Director Luo's new movie be announced?"
"This is casual. ”
Luo Yuan replied with a smile.
