Chapter 1653 21Guns

In the recording studio of Rolling Stone, Du Wei and Rolling Stone's recording band recorded the song "2ns" in less than a day.

Everyone involved in the recording, including Du Wei and Li Mu, was very satisfied with the recording effect.

In Li Mu's opinion, in fact, she only needs to record it two or three times to cut a perfect version, but Du Wei herself has high requirements for herself, and she keeps adjusting her state and emotions when singing over and over again, so that this song has truly reached a perfect state.

The rough cut of the demo sounded particularly perfect to Li Mu, but the recording engineer told Li Mu that the instruments in the demo had not undergone post-processing, and they still looked a little frizzy, and the timbre was not full and mellow enough.

Li Mu worked in a band when he was in college, and after he was reborn, he didn't go into the recording studio, and he was more or less exposed to the behind-the-scenes production of some music, and the recording engineer is so refined, many ordinary people may not be able to hear the difference between the demo and the refined version at all, but for real music fans, real musicians and music critics, they can hear the difference between the two in a second or two.

However, the current music industry is not as smart as later generations, and the post-production work is slow and meticulous, so it will take at least a few days to solve the final version.

Li Mu couldn't wait to send the demo of this song to Spielberg, who was still doing the final finishing work in Yun Province, by email.

Spielberg just finished a full day of filming and returned to his RV, which he specially shipped from the United States, most of the time, he went out to shoot outdoor scenes, preferring to live in his own RV, which was luxuriously decorated and had everything, compared to a marching tent, it was really good.

Hollywood stars and directors have been commercialized earlier, and the business model has matured earlier, and the general income is much higher than that of domestic actors.

It is precisely because of the high income that the pomp and circumstance of their daily filming are also very large, the main actors in a movie basically have their own RVs, sometimes a scene is filmed outdoors, and dozens of RVs are parked next to the studio, but although these pomp and circumstance are very luxurious, most of the Hollywood actors are more dedicated, and these high-standard expenses are basically borne by the actors themselves, and will not be imposed on the salary.

Spielberg's RV costs more than a million dollars and is as luxurious as a five-star hotel, with a variety of luxurious furnishings and appliances, as well as dedicated satellite phones and Internet access.

Spielberg was lying on a comfortable single sofa drinking wine and resting, when he suddenly received a call from Li Mu, in which Li Mu said to him, "Stephen, what are you busy with?"

Spielberg hurriedly smiled and said: "I'm drinking, Bordeaux red wine, and drinking a glass before going to bed every day can greatly ensure the quality of sleep." ”

As he spoke, Spielberg asked curiously, "Mr. Li, what are your instructions for calling so late?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "I can't talk about it, I just want to tell you that the demo of the theme song has come out, and I will send it to your mailbox, you can listen to it if it is convenient for you." ”

"Really?!" Spielberg sat up excitedly and said, "I've been waiting for your theme song for a long time! I'll listen to it now." ”

Li Mu smiled: "Listen to it, if there is anything dissatisfied, I will make adjustments when I say it." ”

Spielberg smiled and said: "Mr. Li, you have always strived for perfection in your work, and if you can send out this song, it proves that it has passed your test, I think this song must be great." ”

Although he said so politely, Spielberg was really a little apprehensive about the theme song prepared by Li Mu.

Spielberg's movies have always been promoted by the three core elements of high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade, so from the actors to the behind-the-scenes, they basically use a luxury lineup, and the soundtrack is the same, his requirements for movie soundtracks and theme songs are very high, and the royal composers are basically the top in Hollywood, and the singers and songs selected are also very exquisite, in case Li Muzhen brings a second-rate song to ask himself to be the theme song of the movie, it is really uncomfortable.

Moreover, Spielberg is more worried that Li Mu will come up with a Chinese song, because in his opinion, it is really cool, in his eyes, English songs are the most suitable for global promotion, and the film itself is also labeled as Hollywood, from Hollywood to the world for distribution, so in this case, if the movie really chooses a Chinese song, it will have some impact on the global distribution of the film.

So the first thing he did after a few words with Li Muke and hung up the phone was to quickly take out his computer and open his mailbox.

There were several unread emails in the mailbox, and the latest one was sent by Li Mu.

The title reads: "". ”

The name of the song made Spielberg feel a little relieved, and he immediately clicked to download, and it took several minutes to download the music, which was more than 20 MB in size.

Click on the music, and the amplifier on the computer will immediately start, add the song to the preview list and start playing.

The prelude to "2ns" is the guitarist's rhythmic control of the guitar volume knob, and the crescendo and decrescendo timbre will be created in this way, this simple and practical treatment, so that Spielberg feels a sense of flag fluttering in the breeze, and his heart is suddenly a little immersed.

Immediately, another acoustic guitar slammed the string tone, and then, Du Wei's pure and beautiful voice was gently chanted under the guitar accompaniment.

Just hearing the first phrase, "You know what you're fighting for, you know it's worth your life," Spielberg felt goosebumps pop up all over his body.

This sentence, whether it is Du Wei's voice or lyrics, has captured Spielberg's heart.

There is one point that Spielberg and Li Mu have completely different views.

In the eyes of him and Li Mu, the war itself is not worthy of praise, but in the Second World War, all those who fought for justice and peace deserve to be remembered and praised in the most beautiful language and the highest respect in the world.

Therefore, when he heard Li Mu's version of "2ns", which supported and praised the just war, he was completely moved by this song.

And he didn't expect that the song changed by Li Mumo was actually an anti-war song.

As the song entered the chorus, Spielberg actually listened to it with tears in his eyes.

This "2ns" is not gorgeous in terms of arrangement, there are no complex chords, magnificent arrangements, not even pianos, no orchestral instruments, just the use of the three major pieces of a rock band: guitar, bass, and drums, but such simple chords and arrangements create an unprecedented solemnity and emotion.

After listening to it once, Spielberg couldn't help but applaud, this song swept away all his previous worries, and after listening to it only once, it became the most perfect theme song in his mind.

Spielberg, who was so excited, couldn't help but listen to it again, and as a result, he accidentally fell into a state of single loop, unable to extricate himself.

Before I knew it, half an hour had passed, Spielberg excitedly picked up his mobile phone, made a call to Li Mu, and said in a trilling voice as soon as he opened his mouth: "Mr. Li, this song is amazing!

Li Mu smiled: "It's good if you're satisfied." ”

Spielberg said: "I'm not only satisfied, it's just too much more than I expected! I believe that if this song is released in the United States, Du Wei can even get a Grammy!"

Li Mu thought to himself, GreenDa, the original singer of this song, won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album because of the album of this song, and this song "2ns" can be said to be the most popular one on the album, so the foundation of this song can win the Grammy, and Li Mu himself thinks it is normal.

It's just that Du Wei is not a singer who is developing in the United States now, so she has not even released an English album, and if she participates in the Grammys, the success rate is not large, but in Li Mu's opinion, once "2ns" becomes popular around the world, at least Du Wei can first strive for the identity of a Grammy guest performer, and then slowly operate her to win awards on the Grammys.

Who knows, before Li Mu could speak, Spielberg himself said: "The Grammys are in February every year, and our movie is expected to start promoting in November and be released in December. ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "Stephen, you and I want to go together, my idea is to let Du Wei appear on the Grammy stage as a guest first, let the Western people get familiar with it in advance, and wait for the next Grammy to win a few awards." ”

Spielberg said: "I can't guarantee anything else, but I will definitely fulfill my promise about the Grammy guests, I believe that this song will definitely become popular, Du Wei, as one of the heroines of "Flying Tigers", and as the singer of this song, I believe that she will be able to become the most well-known Chinese female star in the West through this time!"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you." ”

Spielberg said without hesitation: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will definitely do what I say!"

Li Mu hung up the phone with Spielberg, Du Wei just came out of the post-production room, she had just finished the post-production direction with the recording engineer, and after the two sides reached a consensus, her task had been completed, and the rest had to be handed over to the post-production team.

Du Wei came out and saw Li Mu sitting on the sofa in the rest area, so she hurriedly walked up to him and said sweetly: "Brother Li Mu, I'm done, let's go." ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "Let's go, I'll send you home, your family should be in a hurry at such a late hour." ”

"Nope. Du Wei smiled and said, "My mother also sent a text message just now, telling me not to worry, and to record well." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "I just talked to Spielberg on the phone, he likes this song very much, and said that you will definitely be popular in the West next year!"
