Chapter 41 Lu Yao asked me to compose music and lyrics?
For a whole day, Lu Yao was busy changing the script with Lao Zhang.
Since they are two different worlds, there are still a lot of things that need to be changed.
For example, Michael Jackson, the idol of the protagonist in the original film, does not exist in this world.
The same goes for his music, his dance.
So it has to be replaced by another foreign star who is a household name in the world.
Lu Yao once thought: should I virtualize the character of Michael Jackson in the movie and copy his songs and dances as they are.
But after thinking about it, he gave up.
The food should be eaten one bite at a time, and the goods should be taken out little by little.
Only fine water can flow for a long time.
Although he has the shield of "friends", if he comes up with too many excellent works in a short period of time, even the "friends" with great energy will not be able to help him.
Not to mention a "friend" who has no roots in this world.
He once saw in a time-traveling book that the protagonist was too pompous, drinking at a party, and throwing out more than 200 classic poems one after another to pretend.
At that time, his reaction was the same as that of the supporting characters in the book, they were all stunned and stunned.
More than 200 classic poems!
There are 200 classic poems that are vastly different from songs, have great literary value, and are enough to last for centuries!
What is the concept?
How many times have the top talents of the era, the classics that have been written with a lifetime of painstaking efforts, and the works that are enough to sweep countless literary awards, and you can write them casually with a little wine?
It's okay to have one or two songs.
More than 200 songs!
Don't you think about the aftermath?
It's enough to subvert the entire literary world.
And it doesn't matter what the background of the times, the conflict of geographical location, or anything else, everyone is really stupid.
It is estimated that the protagonist was only concerned about drinking at the time.
But if there is a peanut rice, it will not be drunk like this.
……
"About this well-known celebrity idol, I think about it, there is only one person who is suitable. Lao Zhang's words interrupted his thoughts: "That's Mick Jordan, the king of rock and roll in the United States." ”
"Mick Jordan?"
Lu Yao remembered.
There are indeed world-renowned superstars in this world.
Or rather, it once existed.
No, it's always there.
Some people are dead, and he is still alive.
It has always lived in people's hearts.
Mick Jordan is one such superstar.
His fans are all over the world.
"Yes, if it's Mick Jordan, this movie can be regarded as a tribute to him!" Lao Zhang said: "It's a pity, he has passed away, otherwise if you can ask him to make a cameo......"
At this he kept his mouth shut.
Because he realized he was thinking about fart.
A world-class superstar, even if he is alive, can't come to make a cameo in a movie made by an unknown person like them, right?
Speaking of the United States, I think of the second half of this year...... Forehead ......"
"What happened in the second half of the year?"
Lao Zhang asked strangely.
"Well, I mean: the second half of the year is a good time to shoot, the weather is neither hot nor cold, whether it is a summer scene with short sleeves and short skirts, or a winter scene with a cotton jacket and down jacket, the actors don't have to suffer too much!"
"Well, you've thought about it quite carefully!"
"Hehe, I've won awards!"
After fooling Lao Zhang, he handed over the lyrics of "Old Boy".
"Hehe, it's good to have so many talented friends......"
Lao Zhang took the lyrics with a smile.
After a few glances, his smile slowly dissipated.
This lyrics......
With the whole story, it actually made him feel like he wanted to cry when he watched it.
Although it is about the experience of two people who pursue music, the hardships and melancholy along the way can't help but remind him of his past.
Once upon a time, he was also like the protagonist in the script, high-spirited and vowed to chase his dreams.
But the ideal is always plump, but the reality is too skinny.
After experiencing the beating of society, he was gradually smoothed out.
Feel at ease to be your own online writer, writing cool articles for everyone to spend time, and eating with a mouthful.
The gap between reality and ideals, and the unbearable memories that he could not look back on, surfaced in his mind one by one.
This movie, this story, should resonate with the post-80s and post-90s!
Although he himself is a post-00s, he is not an old boy in terms of age.
But his experience made him mature prematurely, therefore, psychologically, he was an old boy.
So he was touched.
"Brother, this movie will be popular!" he said excitedly. "Trust me, I'm a professional playwright! I can't be wrong! I know when I see the lyrics of this song!"
"So sure, it seems that we are heroes, and we see the same thing, haha!" Lu Yao smiled: "But when it comes to songs, I seem to have overlooked some problems......"
He did ignore certain issues.
This movie is not just a song "Old Boy".
I didn't have the songs and soundtracks for the competition.
So here's the question:
He only remembered the famous "Old Boy" and copied this main song, what about the rest?
If he wants to write the lyrics and compose the music himself, it will be too difficult for him.
It seems that we have to find some professionals.
So he found Xue Jingshu.
"Jingshu, this movie needs some songs and soundtracks, don't be too brilliant, just barely listen to it, you see if there is a suitable creator, talk to them, and I'll leave this matter to you!"
Xue Jingshu shook her head competently: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, wrap it up on me." ”
……
At the same time, Liu Yapeng listened to "Shanghai Tang" and was shocked.
Who wrote these lyrics?
Lu Yao's friend, actually has such a high level of word filling?
He naturally didn't know: the original author of this "Shanghai Tang" is one of the masterpieces of Huang Zhan, one of the four talents of Hong Kong, along with Jin Yong, Ni Kuang, Cai Lan and other three people in Lu Yao's world!
In that world, many people may not know Huang Zhan, but they are very familiar with many of his works.
For example, "Shanghai Tang", "A Laugh in the Sea", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", etc., are all classics.
For his works, it is naturally ruthlessly crushed!
"Impossible, impossible!" he shook his head, "It took me a whole year to barely come up with a song "Sword and Sword", no matter how powerful his friends are, it is impossible to put together such a high-level song in such a short period of time, right? ”
He breathed a sigh of relief at the thought of this.
"My dear. ”
His girlfriend and his agent walked up to him: "I just received a phone call, the other party claimed to be the person in charge of the 'Star Road Entertainment' company, and wanted to ask you to help them write the lyrics and compose the music for their movie. I'm thinking: Now that the song you wrote for "Tiger in the Dragon" is almost finished, do you want to pick this up?"
"'Star Road Entertainment'? I haven't heard of it!" Liu Yapeng frowned, "Theme song?"
"No, she said that the theme song had already been made by their boss, and now there was a lack of some to act as green leaves. ”
"Green leaves?" Liu Yapeng was a little annoyed, "I'm afraid it's some brainless capitalists who have money and nowhere to spend, in order to praise their own girls, they blindly invest in bad movies, right?
"My dear, I think it's better to accept it. Because the boss of this company is Director Tong's son, Lu Yao. She didn't follow Liu Yapeng to attend the class reunion, she didn't know the conflict between the two at all, "I think it's better for you to give him a face, so that Director Tong can think that we will come to something!"
She didn't notice that her boyfriend's face had changed.
Lu Yao, he actually asked me to write lyrics and compose music for him, and he was still a green leaf?!
His face was green.
