Chapter Thirty-Six: Movie Songs
After the crew's follow-up work was arranged, John kept interns Alan and Budd.
"Alan, Bard, you've all been doing very well during this time, I'm going to turn you all into full members, and then assign you to work in the drama crew, and as for the salary, it's according to the market standard, what do you think?"
Alan and Bud had been interns for a while, and John was too embarrassed to continue to work for nothing. And in order to train the two of them, John decided to throw them into the hodgepodge of the crew for a workout.
"Great, I think it's great to work with you. Allen first agreed to John's arrangement, for a three-no graduate like him who has no background, no qualifications, and no money, it is absolutely impossible to reach the sky in Hollywood, unless he is like John, with money and background, he can only honestly find a crew to accumulate experience and qualifications, and wait for a skyrocket.
When John saw that Alan had agreed to his arrangement, he happily patted Alan on the shoulder: "Okay then! ”
After saying that, John looked at Bard on the side: "Bard, what do you think?"
"John! I'm not going to be in the crown anymore, I'm going to shoot some short films on my own and gain some experience. Bud's family is better than Allen's, and he saw that John, who was also a classmate, had his first movie, so he also came up with the idea of investing in some small-budget movies to try the waters.
"Then I wish you success man....... John reached out and shook Bud, everyone had their own choice, and John respected Bud. It's just that John is not optimistic about Bud in his heart, because in his previous life he had never heard of Hollywood having this name.
"Thank you!" Bard said, shaking John's hand. Although he worked for John for free during this time, he learned a lot from John, so this thank you was very sincere.
After the Ellen and Bud affair is over, John is next up to solve the musical problems in the movie.
Film music is an important part of the film, is the interpretation of the artistic concept of the film, a good music, plays a vital role in the whole film, someone once did an experiment, while playing "Pirates of the Caribbean", the sound channel of the international channel was turned off, the result was less than 20 minutes, some people couldn't watch it, which shows the importance of music to the film.
And to match the movie music for "Stealing Love", there are two ways to solve this problem.
The first is to use someone else's music, which can reduce part of the crew's work, but only if you have to pay the corresponding royalties, after all, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
The second is to ask a composer to make music specifically for the film, the advantage of this method is that the music can be better related to the theme of the film and set off the plot of the movie. But it takes time to hire a composer and money to do it.
So John decided to choose the third option and create it himself, which not only saved copyright fees and arrangement fees, but also released movie soundtracks to increase his income.
Speaking of music, as a reborn, John's brain is a mobile music library, and there are no less than thousands of Chinese and English songs in his brain, and if this resource is wasted, it would be a violent thing.
So in order to use the good songs from his previous life in his movies, John specialized in piano and arranging courses when he was a tutor.
John, who had a huge music library with his own, sat in his office and began his career of plagiarizing songs.
Although he has thousands of songs in his head, film music is not just a random song to put into the movie, it not only needs to coincide with the theme of the movie, but also play a role in sublimating the plot.
John carefully recalled the songs of his previous life, and chose songs that were more consistent with the theme of "Stealing Love", yes, "comparison", because the music in John's brain was not specially made for "Stealing Love" after all, so he could only choose some songs that were relatively close.
After racking his brains for a long time, John finally put pen to paper and left the first note on the score, the first song he wanted to write was the opening song of the clip of Phil and his party going to the town from the TV station in the film.
"Stealing Love" is a comedic romance, so John chose a cheerful song "BlurredLines" for the opening song.
"BlurredLines" is an American R&; ; ; amp ; amp ; amp ; B singer Robin Sick, rapper T . I, and male singer Farrell Williams co-sung the song, this song not only topped the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and remained for 12 consecutive weeks, winning the year-end chart runner-up, but also topped the singles chart in more than 20 countries around the world, including Australia, France, Poland, and Germany, and was the best-selling song at the time.
However, this era has not yet come out, John can use it with confidence, and the singer John decided to still let Riel Williams and Robin Sick sing it, he has copied other people's songs, and he can't shamelessly change someone else to sing it! T: That's not good, this guy is only 10 years old now, and he's still in elementary school! T。
"Who are you looking for?"
John pondered again .......
"That's right......"
"You can find him......"
John slapped his thigh excitedly, but the force was so strong that the corners of his mouth twitched.
When the pain passed, John quickly picked up the phone and dialed the number.
"KA! COME TO MY OFFICE!"
A few minutes after hanging up, Agent KA came to John's office: "JK!
"Yes! KA sent someone to Trenton, New Jersey to find a drug dealer named Sean Corey Carter and bring him to the crown. The singer John was looking for was still a drug dealer in Trenton until 1996, when he broke into the music industry.
"Drug dealer!" KA was a little dumbfounded when he heard John tell him to find a drug dealer, he had been following John, and he never found out that John could take drugs!
"I asked you to go to a drug dealer, it doesn't mean that I want to buy drugs, I can't find a drug dealer to be a singer!" John looked dumbfounded KA and was speechless, does looking for a drug dealer have to buy drugs? If you go to a nightclub, you must go to call chickens? What logic!
"Well......" KA heard John's words and wanted to defend but couldn't find words, so he could only leave the office speechless, and when he met Dani on the road, he told Dani about John's drug dealership, and asked Dani to persuade John, because he didn't believe that John was looking for a drug dealer to be a singer, who would believe this kind of thing?
After solving the opening song, John followed up with writing the interlude.
In the middle of the film, when Phil commits suicide, John is going to use the song "Lonely", which he thinks fits the plot of the movie, and the singer is still going to use the original song.
After Phil was slapped by the heroine Rita and walked alone on the street, John was ready to use Michael's "That's WhyYouGoAway" to learn rock 'n' roll.
As for the songs that are played every day on the radio in the film, John chose "Thankyou" by Tido.
Finally, the song at the end of the film John chooses "WhenYouBelieve", which the two divas sing together. The reason why this song was chosen is because this song has a certain meaning, which is more appropriate to cherish life and cherish life advocated in the film.
At this time, Whitney Houston was already a diva, but another diva, Maria Carly, had just debuted this year, she was just 20 years old, and now was the time to be lovely.
Over the course of two days, John composed a total of five songs and three pure music songs for "Stealing Love".
The reason why it is used so much is because John is going to release a movie soundtrack for "Stealing Love", which can warm up the movie and make a fortune.
If there are too few songs, only one or two, how can I send them, so John used eight at once, which is not much or less.
