Compared with those dances that are not gorgeous, music is more important for "Youth Musical", which ignites the soul of the whole movie, detonates the emotions of the audience in the way of singing, makes them resonate with it, and makes them sing along while watching the movie.

And they will never forget it, so the soundtrack of the movie will be sold out.

But the first thing to do is that the songs are in line with the plot, the melody is easy to remember, easy to catch, and the style is youthful and fashionable. Whether it's a fast song when playing basketball, or a lyrical song for the hero and heroine, all of them have to be written in the way of today's pop songs.

Although it is not a famous song, these requirements add up to a certain degree of difficulty. As early as when the crew of "Youth Musical" was being built, Flame Film Company contacted many composers and explained the requirements of the song to them, hoping to get satisfactory works.

After this period of time, the company also got replies from some composers, Wang Yang and the artistic director of the crew reviewed those songs together, and several of them were very good, including the "Wildcats" team song, etc., Wang Yang bought them all, for which the company paid hundreds of thousands of copyright buyout fees and got the ownership of those songs. The problem is that several lyrical songs, especially the songs sung by the heroes and heroines when they finally participated in the second round of auditions, can't be chosen.

"Hi Sandy. Wang Yang sat at his desk, frowned at the mailbox on the computer screen, and asked Sandy Pikes on the other side of the phone: "There are no new songs?

"Sorry Jan, we haven't got a new reply just yet. Sandy Pikes's tone was very helpless, whether this task could be completed or not did not depend on him, but on those composers, who were also powerless now.

Wang Yang closed the webpage of the mailbox, but suddenly remembered something, and quickly asked, "Hey, Sandy, have you contacted David Lawrence?"

David Lawrence, who compiled the original music for the original "High School Musical", is not well-known right now, but he will get a chance to write the original music for "American Pie" next year, and then he will gradually become famous and become the arranger of movies such as "High School Musical".

Wang Yang thought about the information about David Lawrence and explained to Sandy: "Uh...... It's the arrangement of "Crazy Summer Camp", I've seen that film, and I feel that his music style is very light and pleasant, and it should suit us very well. ”

Yes, it's the "Crazy Summer Camp" starring Jessica, Wang Yang has really seen it, and I went to see Jessica, watching her performance when she was 14 years old, which was quite interesting. It also took a lot of effort to get a collector's edition DVD on eBay, even though Jessica had several.

"Sandy, try it, you hurry up and reach out to David Lawrence and see if he has any good songs. Wang Yang held the mouse while opening the official website of "Youth Musical", and said to his mobile phone: "If it is suitable, I plan to hire him to give the original music for the later stage of the movie." ”

Sandy Pikes agreed, "Okay, I know, I'll contact him right away." ”

After ending the call, Wang Yang put down his mobile phone, took the shooting schedule and looked at it, and when he finished shooting the non-singing and dancing scenes, he then shot the singing and dancing scenes of those who found good songs.

The official website of "Youth Musical" has a very youthful and concise style, and at the same time the content and functions are very rich, especially the stills, and there are new pictures almost every two days. Wang Yang logged in to the backstage of the website and uploaded a few new stills, all of which were filmed in the rooftop garden today, where the scenery is so beautiful that it is very suitable as stills.

Posting stills is a regular way to promote a movie, as the production cycle of a movie is usually long, during which fans will gradually forget about the film and turn their attention elsewhere. And stills can somewhat satisfy their hunger, maintain the heat of attention, and keep fans looking forward to the movie, so that they will not be completely forgotten in a corner.

But the stills released by Wang Yang are not the only ones, in fact, the stills he uploaded today will be divided into the "Eastern High School" column, and he wants to create the effect of "dream school" on the website. Not to advertise Eastern Salt Lake City High School, but for the promotional effect of the movie.

That's why he chose Eastern High School, which is beautiful, well-equipped, spacious, clean, and has everything students love. You know, not every school is so beautiful, including Lincoln High School, which he used to attend, is much inferior, as long as the "Eastern High School" is shaped into a campus mecca in the minds of teenagers, make them feel at home, let them like to go to that school, they will enjoy watching the stories that happen there.

In fact, from the beginning of filming, "Youth Musical" has launched a new round of preliminary publicity work, and uploading stills on the official website is just one of them. As the first person to eat the crab of "viral marketing", Wang Yang naturally will not let go of this magic weapon, the company has hired a few new employees, and their daily work is to speak on the Internet, and the forums of various schools are the objects of their care, but they have not gone overboard, as long as there is such a post.

Now is definitely not the time to detonate the bomb, Wang Yang's effect is to keep it unforgotten and maintain a certain degree of attention; and then when it comes to the publicity of the release stage, it will carry out a comprehensive bombing propaganda.

After browsing the official website for a while, checking the current publicity effect, and making sure that everything was moving forward on the set track, seeing that the time had come to more than 11 o'clock, Wang Yang turned off the computer, brushed his teeth, and walked to the bed to get ready for bed. Just as he was covering the quilt, the mobile phone on the bedside table suddenly rang, and he reached out to take it and looked at it, it was a text message from Jessica: "Jan, good night, I'm happy tonight." ”

Wang Yang smiled slightly, replied to a text message: "Good night, go to sleep quickly!" put the phone back, he closed his eyes and slept, but just when he was about to fall asleep in a daze, he vaguely heard someone calling him: "Yang ......" and then there was a knock on the door, and it was a human voice: "Yang, have you slept?"

"Who?" Wang Yang reluctantly opened his eyes, wiped the corners of his eyes and walked out of bed, came to the door of the room and opened the door, only to see Michael Pitt standing outside with his hands in his pockets. Wang Yang was stunned, frowned suspiciously, and asked, "Michael, is there anything wrong?" It's so late. ”

Michael Pitt glanced around the room and said, "I didn't bother you, shouldn't Jessica be there?" Wang Yang tilted his head angrily and said, "Please, she's not here, but you disturbed me to sleep!

"Young, ...... tomorrow" Michael Pitt walked in, he took a deep breath, looked at Wang Yang and asked, "Tomorrow is my play, right?"

Wang Yang looked at him, took a sip of a glass of warm water, and nodded, "Yes." He laughed and said, "Nervous?"

"Maybe. Michael Pitt stroked his hair and blinked very unnaturally, his other hand reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette. Wang Yang stopped him and said, "Don't smoke here, or I'll kick you out!" Michael Pitt shrugged helplessly, put the cigarette back in the cigarette case, measured his steps more anxiously, and asked, "Shoot tomorrow, right?"

Wang Yang put on an overcoat and replied to him: "If you are here to be sure of this, you can go, 100% tomorrow!"

"I know, but I ......" Michael Pitt exhaled for a long time, unable to express his feelings, spread his hands, looked at Wang Yang, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, his face was full of nonchalance, he suddenly asked: "Young, you shot a film film for the first time that day, how did it feel?"

Hearing this question, Wang Yang's tiredness suddenly disappeared, and he recalled: "Nervous, excited, happy, happy...... What else? You've done what you've been looking for, and it's crazy!" he shook his head again and smiled faintly, "Actually, it's a little bit confusing. Michael Pitt asked thoughtfully, "Confused? Why?"

"I don't know. Wang Yang lay down on the bed, looked at the pink ceiling, and said softly: "At that time, there was a voice in my heart that said, is this what I want? I have done it? Have I fulfilled my dream? That's it?"

Michael Pitt frowned, was silent for a while, looked at Wang Yang, and asked, "What is the answer?" Wang Yang turned over suddenly, and said with a troubled face: "The answer? I don't know, you tell me, I don't think it's over yet, I did it, but it's not over like this." ”

"It's a mixed feeling. Michael Pitt laughed. Wang Yang also laughed, and said indifferently: "Man, you will find out tomorrow." Michael Pitt nodded silently, and seemed to be getting agitated again, habitually pulling out a cigarette. Wang Yang suddenly said impatiently: "Get out, go out and smoke, I'm going to sleep." Michael Pitt walked out with a cigarette in his mouth and said "good night" before closing the door.

drove away Michael Pitt, Wang Yang slept in bed, but suddenly he was completely sleepy, and kept asking in his head, what is the answer?

After tossing and turning for a while, he simply got up and put on his coat, walked to the balcony outside, looked at the dark night sky, the cold wind made him shiver, and also made his mind very clear: "Is this what I want? Of course, making movies is what I want;

Isn't this exactly what I like to do and want? Wang Yang suddenly laughed, the answer is so simple, he did it, but the dream is not over, it will not end.

"At least I haven't watched the last film of "Cinema Paradiso", have I?" Wang Yang smiled happily and shook his head, at first he planned to watch it after the release of "Ghost Shadow", but on that day, he was reluctant to watch it, as if he would lose a precious thing if he watched it, so he said to himself, wait until his first film movie is released, and then watch it.

Wang Yang walked back to the room and smiled to himself: "Hell, what kind of pictures are those films, it's really exciting!"
