Album recording doesn't happen overnight, and song recording doesn't happen all at once. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Rao is Jiangxia's singing skills have improved very much, and he is very familiar with Jay's songs, this "Nunchuck" was recorded for two days, but he still couldn't record the version that he was most satisfied with.

Zhang Pengpeng laughed and said: "As far as your song is concerned, you don't have to sing it at all, just the speed of the lyrics, ordinary people can't keep up, and when you understand the lyrics, it doesn't matter how you sing it." This song, when it is released, is a victory. ”

Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "That's not good, my works must be strictly demanding." Unlike Shanshan, she can tweak her songs from one performance to another, and perhaps the perfect version is the one that is sung live. I'm different, I don't attend the event, all I can bring to the audience is the songs of the album, just like that, it has to be perfect. ”

When Zhang Pengpeng heard it, it was such a truth, Gong Shan's album was recorded quickly, because she performed a lot, which diǎn was wrong, maybe a certain performance could be changed, fans saw the performance video and found that it was better here, and they would commemorate this performance as a classic, but it had unexpected effects.

Jiangxia doesn't have this condition, only the album is released, and the album is required to be strict, which should also be.

"Then record it slowly, and you will definitely record a satisfactory version. Zhang Peng said.

"Well, it has to be satisfied. Jiangxia said.

Even when recording love songs, Jiangxia's speed is not so slow, although love songs test skills, but after brewing feelings in place, skills can be supplemented with emotions. Kuaige's emotions are not enough, and he can only rely on his sense of rhythm, and it is understandable that Jiang Xia occasionally makes mistakes.

Jiang Xia recorded the album, and he was not in a particularly hurry, anyway, looking at the time, he definitely couldn't release the album in December, and it was enough to choke in January. Since January is already choking enough, he simply doesn't rush at all, anyway, he has to delay until after the Spring Festival, so let's take my time.

With such an unhurried attitude, You Fangfei and Zhang Pengpeng had no problem, but they urged him to get the script out first to see what needed to be prepared, and at the same time urged him to take out the script of the new movie.

For a low-cost urban love script, Jiang Xia has already figured out which movie to use, and at night, he is also writing the script. As for the script, Jiang Xia had a headache.

To tell the truth, in his last life, Jiang Xia watched the most Jay's songs, but it was precisely because he watched a lot that he knew how much effort Jay put into filming. There are very few shooting costs of less than one million, and the general production cost is around one million, and it is still a song.

Now Jiang Xia is recording ten songs, Gong Shan's ten songs, the total cost is only about two million, Jiang Xia really wants to make a song to break one million, You Fangfei may not agree.

"Meeting. After Jiang Xia drew a few storyboard scripts, he shouted for Zhang Pengpeng and You Fangfei to have a meeting in the living room.

The two of them came out wearing masks, one face was black, the other face was white, and going out at night must have been mistaken for black and white impermanence. If Jiang Xia hadn't known that the two of them had applied masks at night, they would definitely have been startled.

"What's the meeting?" asked You Fangfei.

"yes, I'm busy, there's a fart. Zhang Peng said.

Jiang Xia said: "The shooting of my album will be very slow, I can't put it together with the album in a short time, and my shooting cost may be very high. ”

"Oh, why?" asked Zhang Pengpeng.

"How high is the cost?" asked You Fangfei.

Jiang Xia said: "It's quite high, I have a general idea, but the cost, it is estimated that a song cannot be played without hundreds of thousands." ”

"What the hell are you shooting, it's so expensive!" Zhang Pengpeng said in surprise.

"The quality is very good?" You Fangfei asked, "as long as the quality is passable, then shoot." There is no shortage of funds in the studio, and you probably won't need much to make a movie. I'll give you 10 million to make an album and, no problem, right?"

"Enough. "Jiangxia diǎn head said.

"The album side will give you 10 million, but on the movie side, you have to shoot it well, if the box office is bad, you can watch it yourself. You Fangfei said.

"That's over. Jiang Xia opened his mouth wide and said, "Is it okay to guarantee that you won't pay compensation?"

"Okay. You Fangfei said, "Just guarantee that you don't lose money." We have a budget of less than 20 million for production costs, and the publicity costs are about the same, with a total production cost of less than 40 million. ”

Jiang Xia had a toothache, but he still said: "The production cost is not so much, it is estimated that a few million is enough, if you don't pay me and Shanshan, two or three million can be filmed." ”

"What are you going to shoot? After two or three million are finished, it's not as good as your production cost?" Zhang Pengpeng said in surprise.

"That is, one is only three or four minutes, and ten songs are only more than thirty minutes. Thirty minutes, you're going to spend 10 million, and then you're going to make at least 90 minutes, and you're going to make two or three million? You Fangfei expressed skepticism.

Jiang Xia pointed to his nose and said, "The script I took out is absolutely no problem in terms of quality." It's just a tragic and touching love story, so you can't catch up with Valentine's Day and New Year's files, you have to find other schedules. ”

"Our movie, the first time I went to the theater, I couldn't compete for a good schedule. You Fangfei said.

Jiang Xia shrugged his shoulders and said: "That's your business, what I have to do is to take out the script first, it's all small scenes, no big scenes, it's very easy to shoot." If it's fast, you can shoot in a month, or even faster. ”

"I'm getting less and less optimistic about this movie. Zhang Peng said, "How to listen to it." ”

"Let's take a look at the script first. You Fangfei said, "Hurry up and write." ”

Jiang Xia was driven back to the room to work overtime, and in the living room, Zhang Pengpeng asked: "In case the script is not good, really let him change it?" He doesn't look like a person who can listen to opinions. ”

You Fangfei shook her head and said, "I don't know, but I should be able to listen to some opinions, as long as what we say makes sense, it's very difficult to convince him." ”

Zhang Peng pouted and said: "It's quite difficult, the sequel to Journey to the West and the underground transportation station are ironclad evidence." ”

You Fangfei also had a headache when she heard this, these two TV series can be said to be selected by Jiang Xia willfully, how did she tell Jiang Xia at that time to let him consider changing the market, but he was stunned or not. "Underground Transportation Station" is not bad, but "Journey to the West" would have been miserable if it hadn't been for the restriction of Han Ling and giving him a chance to counterattack.

"I had a sense of foreboding. Zhang Peng said.

"Don't talk about you, I have it too. You Fangfei also said.

The two glanced at each other, looked up at the stairs, and wondered what kind of script Jiang Xia was writing. is different from the lyrics, Jiang Xia's lyrics, they can see it, but how Jiang Xia's script is written, he doesn't take it out, and no one knows what it is.

is typical of the scripts of the previous two TV series, Jiang Xia has gone to review them, and they don't know yet.

Upstairs, Jiang Xia was indeed writing a script.

At this time last year, he hadn't thought about what small-budget love movie he wanted to make, but after a year of training, he thought about what movie to make.

What he is looking for is a movie that is not well-known, but of very good quality - at the end of the last century, the 1999 Hong Kong movie "Star Wish", starring Ren Xianqi and Cecilia Cheung.

Before becoming a fan of Jay Chou, Jiang Xia was a fan of Ren Xianqi in his last life, the kind of iron fan. The first time I watched martial arts TV series, I watched Ren Xianqi's version of "The Condor Heroes", so that in Jin Yong's works, his favorite is always "The Condor Heroes", and I think Ren Xianqi's best song is the ending song "Sad Pacific" of "The Condor Heroes".

Jiang Xia has watched every movie and TV series starring Ren Xianqi, heard most of the songs on the album, and can sing well-known tracks with his eyes closed.

When he said that he wanted to make a small-budget movie, Jiang Xia's first reaction was "Crazy Stone", a well-known low-budget movie with black humor, but in the end he gave up this idea and chose to make a romantic urban drama. The reason is very simple, the big screen is not easy to mix, there is no fault, and love movies can guarantee a certain box office to a large extent.

Jiang Xia, who has never competed for the box office, still seeks stability.

In love movies, there are many choices, but there are not many love movies that can be called classics. There are even fewer high-grossing romance movies.

Coincidentally, Jiang Xia knew that "Star Wish" was a box office movie, and it got 10 million at the box office less than a month after its release in 1999, when the entire Chinese mainland had a box office of only 14 million in 1999.

At the turn of the new millennium, a number of love movies have emerged, the best of which is "Star Wish", although it is a tragedy in the end, it can make people feel very touched.

Cecilia Cheung won the Best New Actor award at the 19th Hong Kong Film Awards for this movie, and Ren Xianqi was also nominated, but he did not win the award.

In addition to this, the film was also nominated for Best Film at the 36th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards and the 19th Hong Kong Film Awards, but unfortunately did not win any awards.

Cecilia Cheung was also nominated for Best Actress, but she also failed to win.

The music of the film was well done, winning the Best Original Film Music Award at the 19th Hong Kong Film Awards, and Ren Xianqi also won the award for Best Original Song.

Although Cecilia Cheung did not win the original song award, she had a nomination, and her song "Star Wish" became popular all over the country.

As a well-known movie star, Cecilia Cheung had a very good image before 08 years, and she didn't sing many songs, but there was one song that many people had heard, that is, "Star Wish", this song is from the movie "Star Wish".

Relatively speaking, Ren Xianqi's "Candlelight" is also good, and Jiang Xia likes it very much. It's just that this song doesn't have as much popularity as "Star Wish" and such a wide audience.

Jiang Xia likes this movie, but it was the first time he watched it in junior high school, and he liked it very much after watching it. At that time, Jiang Xia liked this movie very much, and when he was formally emotionally ignorant, he was moved.

It was a movie about 2,000 years old, and Jiang Xia was not sure if it was appropriate to put it now, but when he was writing the script, recalling the picture of the movie, he suddenly felt that his worries were unnecessary.

The sensationalism of the movie "Star Wish" is in place, and the whole rhythm and atmosphere are in place. Emotions are universal and don't fade as time passes. Just like sympathy songs, even love songs from twenty years ago can make people cry.

Cinema is art, even if it is a movie from a long time ago, the emotions and emotions conveyed in it will not change for decades. Otherwise, "The Shawshank Redemption" will not be the most classic movie in film history for decades, because the emotions conveyed in it are never outdated.

But I don't know what happened at the box office, even if it is the same movie, the box office is not the same in different environments.

Jiang Xia is also gambling now, betting that this movie will resonate and will have a good box office.

"If you really want to shoot, it's easy to shoot, and there are no big scenes. Jiang Xia said to himself, "There are two people in the starring, at most three people, four or five people are killed, small scenes, cheap, easy to shoot." It's the sense of the picture, you have to grasp it well, and the lens language expressed by each lens can't be messed around. ”

Early the next morning, Jiang Xia continued to record "Nunchuck", this was the third day of recording, Jiang Xia finally finished in the morning, and the recorded version felt usable, but it was still not the most perfect. In the afternoon, Jiang Xia did not continue recording, but ran to write the script.

Jiang Xia didn't want to come over to write the script, but wanted to continue recording songs, but his voice was not very comfortable, and Zhang Pengpeng and You Fangfei urged him to quickly take out the script, so he rushed to the office and asked him to retreat.

Due to the distraction of writing, Jiang Xia's recording speed slowed down again, and it took four days to record all of "Nunchuck", which was the perfect version that made Jiang Xia feel impeccable in the real sense.

Zhang Pengpeng was the first listener, and after listening, Zhang Pengpeng also had to admit that Jiang Xia really sang well this time.

"Good, that's good. You Fangfei praised, "But I can't tell what's good." ”

"Don't talk about you, I don't know what's good. Zhang Peng said.

Jiang Xia smiled: "Listen to it twice, and you'll know what's good." ”

"Forget it, this song is poisonous. Zhang Pengpeng shook his head and said, "How is your script?"

"It's almost, I guess I'll finish it tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, it's a song, that's all. Jiangxia said.

After setting the tone, Jiang Xia continued to run back to write the script, every detail had to be deducted, and some places had to be changed, after all, the times were different, and some places had to be revised to be more in line with the current situation.

It doesn't take time to write a script, it's these scattered revisions that take time. It has to be reasonable, and there must be no hard injuries.

Jiang Xia was about to scratch his scalp, so he wrote these things out, and then showed them to You Fangfei to see.

You Fangfei and Zhang Pengpeng watched it together, they were really curious, what kind of love story did Jiang Xia write, a movie that can be shot for only two or three million? )
