399, movie theme song (2/3)
Li Xiang and Li Bingyun came to Li Ding's film company, and under the guidance of the front desk, they met Li Ding, who was in a very bad mental state.
Li Ding is in his 40s, his hair began to fall out early, and he is already in the Mediterranean, surrounded by hair in the middle of the highland. Usually when I see him, or when he appears in front of the media, he always wears a sun hat, but now Li Ding, who appears in front of Li Xiang and Li Bingyun, is not wearing a hat, and his hair as if he has been hit by a tsunami is like seaweed. His face was tired, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Director Li, what are you? Last night, it was broken?" Li Bingyun asked, when she left last night, Li Ding was still surrounded by people to toast, and he really sweated for him.
"I edited the film last night, and I didn't sleep until three or four o'clock, the old Gao cut it called a ball, he didn't cut it when he dragged it, but the key plot clicked, I was in a fog when I watched it, and I thought I was watching a neurosis movie. I said that he was in a bottleneck, he came blindly, he had to go back to reflect and reflect, go to school to recharge, and his head was confused when he was old......" Li Ding seemed to be hiding his stomach full of complaints, and complained loudly about the old high.
Li Xiang was a little dumbfounded, Lao Gao should be the editor of the movie, Li Ding seems to be very unkind to see each other, but even if he doesn't want to see him, there is no need to say it so ruthlessly.
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Lao Gao heard it from afar, and said loudly: "Everyone understands whether I cut it well or not, don't mix it blindly if you are not a professional, don't interfere with it since you handed it over to me, who begged me to invite me, what did you say at the beginning, the film was all handed over to me to cut, you changed three knives, how many knives did you change last night......?"
The two of them fought each other, but this made Li Xiang feel relieved, and the pair seemed to be happy enemies.
"I won't quarrel with you, I'm sorry! Li Xiang is coming, let's go, let's watch a movie first, and then listen to your songs. Li Ding shook off Lao Gao in disgust, greeted Li Xiang, and wanted to take him to the screening room to watch the freshly baked "Odd Years and Even Moons".
"I think it's better not to watch the film first, how good is Ayun's performance, you cut it blindly, and it became a mess, I watched it in the clouds, you better not hit others......"
"You fuck me off~~"
"I'm an editor and I have a voice. ”
"I'm the director, I have the final say. ”
......
The two made a noise and entered the screening room. This is in-house to the film company and is usually used to show movies.
Li Xiang saw Li Ding and Lao Gao quarreling again, glanced at Li Bingyun and smiled bitterly. The quarrel between the two of them made it impossible for outsiders to intervene.
The screening room is a stepped type, with 10 rows of seats, 15 in each row, Li Xiang and Li Bingyun sat down in the second row, the door was pushed open, three people came in, and two more came in not long after, when Li Ding turned out the lights in the screening hall and was about to show the film, the door was pushed open again, and a shiny bald head appeared.
"I'm sorry, I'm late, Lao Li hasn't started yet. ”
It was He Haoquan who came in.
Li Bingyun beckoned to him, and He Haoquan sat down.
"Li Xiang is also here, have you heard the theme song?" He Haoquan greeted Li Xiang across Li Bingyun.
"After watching the film, I will listen to the song. Li Xiang said.
"Okay, don't mind hearing it later. ”
"Welcome. ”
He can even come in and watch the confidential edited version of the movie, and of course there is no problem with listening to the theme song in advance, so Li Xiang readily agreed.
The reason why He Haoquan was able to come here is because he has a good relationship with Li Ding, and secondly, he also belongs to the current film company, but he went out independently the year before last and opened a studio, and now he is attached to the company and has a lot of cooperation with the company.
At the beginning of the movie, because it was only a cut version and had not yet been reviewed, the dragon mark at the beginning was omitted and went directly to the feature film, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the bicycle sounded a string of bells......
Li Xiang has read the script and knows the plot of this film, the story is not novel, the key is the director's ability to control, just like the proposition composition, mediocre people write as plain as boiled water, and some people can write it to make people cry.
Li Ding is not an unknown person, she has proven herself many years ago, otherwise with Li Bingyun's critical eye, she would not consider it at all in terms of the level of the script.
The film continues, telling a story of gain and loss, an eternal miss that can be avoided by just a little bit.
Every director's style is different, and they all have their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, Li Ding, he can't shoot big scenes, and the movies he makes are never flammable and explosive. He is good at "carving", good at showing people's deep-seated emotional details, and is an excellent "small film" director, so his films have a strong literary atmosphere.
This "Odd Years and Occasional Moon" is also a small-scene movie, telling a love story, the emotional entanglement between several people, and Li Ding's previous movies are different in that he tried a lot of commercial methods, trying to rely on love commercial films, and trying to find a balance between literature and business.
In the past two years, love story films have been quite popular, and there has been a nostalgic wind in the film and television industry.
An hour and a half later, everyone applauded, this is a rare masterpiece, sad but not sad, in the words of the second force, it is bright sadness.
After watching the movie, everyone auditioned for Li Xiang's theme song.
It's not that Li Xiang sings it live, and it's not just a matter of giving the song to Li Ding, people who don't engage in music can't understand the score. Li Xiang has already recorded the song beforehand, it is a complete single, and even if it can't be selected as the theme song of "Odd Years and Even Moons", this song can be released separately.
The audition place is in the screening room, the staff gives out headphones to everyone, and Li wants to plug the USB flash drive into the computer to bring up the recorded audio. He saw that everyone had already put on the headphones, so he clicked play, stood next to the computer, did not go back to sitting, took a pair of headphones from the staff, stood and put them on.
The theme song was created after he read the script, before watching the movie, Li Xiang was a little apprehensive, the script is written is one thing, and it is another thing to shoot it, who knows what the director will make it like, if it deviates from the script, the theme song will be inappropriate.
Fortunately, after watching the movie just now, it is basically the same as the script, and it is very appropriate to the theme song written by Li Xiang.
The lights in the screening room had been turned on, and Li Xiang glanced at everyone, all of whom were listening to the song very carefully. He retracted his thoughts and listened to his own singing voice in his headphones.
?? Then I finally learned how to love??
?? It's a pity that you have long since disappeared into the sea of people??
?? Later I finally understood in tears??
?? Some people don't stop once they miss it??
?? Gardenia white petals??
?? Falling on my blue pleated skirt??
?? Love you you whisper??
?? I lowered my head and smelled a fragrant smell??
?? That eternal night??
......
Just as at the end of the movie, Ali played by Li Bingyun walked on the crowded streets, and had a monologue in her heart:
Pedestrians hurry,
I don't know what happened on the road,
Joys.
