Chapter 1634: A Special Favor
Du Wei didn't expect that Li Mu would charter a special plane for the crew in order to give herself and the crew another chance to meet, and let them change their itinerary to Yanjing, which made her stunned for a moment, looked at Li Mu and asked: "Brother Li Mu, you are making me happy when you say that, right?"
Li Mu smiled: "Of course not, I'm talking to you about this very seriously now." ”
Saying that, Li Mu said again: "You can say that I did this to make you happy, but you can't say that I said this to make you happy." ”
Li Mu deliberately added accents to the words "doing and speaking".
Du Wei immediately understood the meaning of Li Mu's words, and immediately felt as if she had been favored by the best in the world, although his solution was extravagant and wasteful, but in her girl's heart, she couldn't help but feel that Li Mu's solution was really sweet and romantic.
This made Du Wei's sad emotions just now greatly relieved in an instant, she gently leaned on Li Mu's shoulder, and said seriously: "Brother Li Mu, you are so good to me." ”
Li Mu smiled slightly: "It's right to be nice to you, who made you so cute." ”
Du Wei's smile was full of sweetness, and her pure smile made Li Mu's heart feel extraordinarily quiet and comfortable.
In fact, Li Mu has a natural affection for Du Wei, like a brother to a sister, he always wants to give her the best.
In fact, Du Wei's family conditions are very good, so good that being rich and powerful is not enough to describe, in her life since she was a child, she is completely in a state of "lacking nothing, everything is the best", but even so, Li Mu is still willing to give her the best within her ability.
Du Wei has a good voice, Li Mu is willing to give her all the good songs, now she is only developing in China, if this time by participating in "Flying Tigers" and singing the theme song, can help her open up the Western market, then Li Mu also wants to give Taylor Swift and Adele all the songs that became popular around the world one after another.
Moreover, Du Wei was born with a talent for acting, which is not much better than most professional actors, which may have a lot to do with the environment in which she lived since she was a child, although Li Mu is not a moneyist, but I have to admit that those children who have no worries about food and clothing since childhood and even have a high degree of wealth are more confident than children from poor families, and acting is precisely a thing that requires enough self-confidence to be able to completely let go.
So Li Mu also hopes to give her a better acting opportunity, preferably to make her the most well-known Chinese star in the world, then Li Mu couldn't be happier.
After "Flying Tigers", Li Mu will tie Spielberg and himself more closely, and this binding will naturally bring Du Wei in, and it is best to be able to tie Du Wei and Spielberg's future movies, which is equivalent to giving Du Wei a direct train to Hollywood and becoming a top Hollywood actress.
……
The helicopter of the general aviation company flew to Chuncheng Airport, and Li Mu, Du Wei and other people accompanying him boarded the long-awaited business jet of the charter company.
Business jets are much quieter than helicopters, so Li Mu turned on the computer and opened the lyrics of his changed "21Guns", so that Du Wei was familiar with the lyrics first. ”
"Haha. Li Mu scratched his head: "You know, I haven't studied music theory seriously, and I can't write scores." ”
Du Wei stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Then you can teach me to sing." ”
Li Mu lowered his voice in embarrassment and said, "There are other people, I'm so embarrassed." ”
Du Wei lowered her voice and said: "It's just singing, what's so embarrassing, don't you usually sing in front of many people when you go to KTV." ”
Li Mu said: "It is singing along with the accompaniment, which is different from the cappella, which requires great courage. ”
Du Wei blinked and said with a smile: "It turns out that when the omnipotent Brother Li Mu is also shy, he will be embarrassed to sing in front of others......
Li Mu smiled helplessly: "Radical generals, ......"
Du Wei smiled and said, "You don't care if it's a radical method, anyway, you're really embarrassed." ”
Li Mu said with a smile: "Then I want to officially announce that your radical method has worked." ”
After that, Li Mu took a deep breath and said, "Come, listen, I'll sing it to you now!"
Du Wei applauded silently, and whispered excitedly: "Great, but Brother Li Mu, just be quiet, let me hear it alone." ”
Li Mu nodded, and sang "21Guns" with his own lyrics slightly embarrassed.
The lyrics of the original version of "21Guns" are to the effect that it is an anti-war song, and anti-war is certainly the most popular thing for today's peacemakers, especially those big-name singers in the United States, almost everyone has an anti-war song, otherwise they are embarrassed to greet people.
But there are so many anti-war songs in the American music scene, and the source of this anti-war song is not World War II, but the Vietnam War.
However, for all the victorious countries, World War II was not a war in which the division was nameless, but a just war in which justice finally defeated evil, and a glorious result of the righteous people of the world uniting to fight against the world, and for all the Allied soldiers who participated in World War II, that war was worthy of praise and praise by all mankind in later generations.
Therefore, Li Mu changed the lyrics of "21Guns" to completely and thoroughly praise the righteous veterans who participated in World War II, especially the pilots who bravely resisted the Japanese invaders in the movie "Flying Tigers".
Although Green Sun is a punk-style band, the song "21Guns" is not at all frivolous and casual, on the contrary, its melody line is very stable, beautiful and beautiful at the same time, but also atmospheric, and it is easy to move people's hearts.
Although Li Mu mustered up the courage to sing, she still couldn't let go, but after Du Wei listened to him sing a passage on the side, she had already transformed the score of the song in her heart, so when Li Mu sang the second paragraph, she was already able to sing along in a low voice accurately.
Li Mu was shocked by how fast she learned to sing, but soon understood, in fact, music theory and sheet music are the language of music, ordinary people have not learned this language, learning to sing is completely mechanical to enhance memory in the mind, just like ordinary people don't know a foreign language, but there is a person who always beeps in your ear, you follow him a few times, and you will learn the pronunciation of that foreign language, but you still don't know anything about their language.
In this case, learning the tune of a song is like listening to someone say an article in a language that they don't understand, so ordinary people learning a song is like parroting, mechanically singing along many times, constantly deepening the memory, and finally remembering the song.
But for a top student like Du Wei, a music major, she has learned music theory and sheet music very well since she was a child, so when she hears a tune, she can read the language, so when she hears someone say a passage in this language, she can immediately remember the root of the passage, unlike others, who can only remember the pronunciation.
Thinking about this, Li Mu was not so surprised that Du Wei learned the performance of this song once.
Du Wei followed Li Mu to sing the second paragraph at this time, and the whole song was already very proficient, and after singing it again, she said to Li Mu coquettishly: "Brother Li Mu, you sing it to me again!"
Li Mu said with a smile: "You have already learned a lot of melons, and you still want me to sing it for you? I think you can go directly to the studio to record after you get off the plane later." ”
Du Wei said a little shyly: "I just want to hear you sing it again, if you feel shy, then let's sing it together." ”
Li Mu was helpless, so he could only nod and agree.
This time, Du Wei sang flawlessly, and even the melodious and solemn and eloquent feeling of this song was able to grasp it very well.
Li Mu couldn't help but sigh: "Take a rest after going back today, and then let's hurry into the shed to record this song." ”
Du Wei nodded and said, "Tonight, my parents and sister said that they would eat at home, and my grandparents will also come over, they haven't seen me for a long time, and they all said that they miss me. ”
Li Mu said: "I have to communicate with the recording musician about the arrangement first, and I will inform you after I get it, but I won't be in a hurry, you can take a good rest in the past two days." ”
As he spoke, Li Mu asked her again, "How are things arranged at school?"
Du Wei said: "The main professional courses in the school will be arranged by the school teachers to make up for me, and some cultural courses are not a big problem, I learned almost by myself when I was in the crew, in fact, it is not difficult." ”
Li Mu said with a smile: "I don't forget to learn cultural classes when filming, I am really a standard student." ”
Du Wei smiled: "My grandfather told me to be strict with myself since I was a child, and he also fought all the way back then, and he attached great importance to the self-discipline education of his children and grandchildren. ”
Speaking, Du Wei said: "By the way, in this crew, the improvement of English proficiency is particularly great, the director and most of the staff and leading actors are in English, so I have always communicated with them in English, I have not been abroad for a long time before, this time I have worked with them for so long, I feel that my oral language ability has improved very much, and if I go to study in the United States in the future, I don't have to worry about speaking." ”
Li Mu asked curiously: "Do you want to study in the United States?"
"That's right. Du Wei nodded and said seriously: "It has always been my dream to go to Berklee College of Music to study modern music and jazz. ”
