Chapter 105: Movie Theme Song

In a blink of an eye, it was July, and the later stage of the movie was also the time to make the theme song. There are professional music directors in post-production, but the responsibility of the music director is to match the most suitable music for the shots of the film, and he does not have much ability to create very classic songs for the film. Li Shenglin put so much effort into it, and he didn't want to be perfunctory.

Neither the music director nor Kim Yoon-chul had any good advice, their advice was to find a composer to write the right song for the film, which is what most films do. Li Shenglin is also struggling with this, "A Man" seems to be very suitable, but it may not be able to meet the needs of the movie.

Li Shenglin repeatedly watched the rough cut of the movie, and was thinking about what would happen after the movie was released. Although the film ends with a tragic ending, it is not a typical Korean script.

In both his past and current lives, most of the stories he reads are Chinese, and the scripts he writes are full of Chinese lifestyle, which he is not worried about being cold in South Korea. After all, feelings know no borders, and if they are handled well in the sensational part, they will be touching no matter which country they are in.

He's thinking about release now, and his script is full of Chinese style that will be a few years or even a decade from now. If the Korean audience can accept it, the Chinese audience will be the most acceptable! If so, it will be a bit of a waste if the film is not released in China.

Hong Kong and Taiwan are also members of the Chinese-speaking community, but the most important thing is the mainland, and I believe that no one will ignore the huge market of the mainland.

Li Shenglin is not omnipotent, with his own energy to release movies in Chinese mainland is a bit beyond his strength, the only way is to find a Chinese company to represent, so that about procedures and other issues are much easier, the rest is to see the reaction of the mainland audience.

Thinking of the enthusiasm of the mainland audience, Li Shenglin scratched his hair with a headache. The problem is back, the soundtrack hasn't been settled yet, and the audience is hairy.

"Huh?" Li Shenglin's hand scratching his hair suddenly stopped. He feels that his thinking is a little stuck in a dead end, his own film is full of strong Chinese-style parental shortcomings, what he wants Korean audiences to accept is this style, if Korean audiences can accept this style, then can Korean audiences also accept Chinese episodes?

Feelings know no borders, and neither do songs. Can Hallyu IDOL go out of Asia, is it because they all speak ten Chinese, Chinese is very good? Even if you don't accept it, you can ask other Korean lyricists to fill in the words.

On the contrary, in China, the classic songs are still classics when they are taken out again, and the Chinese audience must be more accepting than the Korean audience!

Thinking of this, Li Shenglin snapped his fingers excitedly, he remembered which of the classic love songs in the past came? He immediately called the people below: "Help me check the classic sad songs of Chinese songs in the past ten years, make a list and hand it over to Zhang Wenli." Also, help me check if these songs have been released......"

……

A week later, Lee handed Kim Yoon-chul a demo of five songs.

"Director, these are the five songs I made for the film. I think it's enough to make the soundtrack for the movie, and I'll do the rest of the sound effects separately. Lee Seung-rim said to Kim Yoon-chul.

"Oh, did you make five songs?" Kim Yoon-chul was a little surprised, but more delighted, after getting acquainted with Lee Seung-rim, he knew that several of Lee Hyo-ri's songs were all composed by him, and Lee Seung-rim was able to give it to him like this, which showed that he had enough confidence in himself.

"The only regret is that the lyrics of these five songs are all in Chinese, and I was inspired to make them all in Chinese, and I was not inspired to change them to Korean. Li Shenglin said half-truthfully.

"Oh. Kim Yoon-chul also felt regretful, but he also understood Lee Seung-rim's state very well, sometimes inspiration is achieved overnight, and then he can't find his state again.

"Shall we hear it first?" Kim Yoon-chul proposed.

"Yes, there are Korean lyrics in it. I translated the Chinese lyrics into Korean, and the lyrics are not suitable, but it is no problem for people to understand. Li Shenglin nodded in agreement.

Summoning an assistant to put the sample in the tape recorder, Kim Yoon-chul looked at the lyrics, pointed to one of them and said to Lee Seung-rim: "I know this name, it's called "Fairy Tale", right?" ”

I didn't expect Jin Yinzhe to have such a side, Li Shenglin nodded with a smile, pointed out to him one by one and told him what it meant, and the title of the song was the only one he didn't translate: "The song just now is "Fairy Tale", the first song is called "Wait a Minute", and the last three songs are "Ten Thousand Reasons", "Angel's Wings", and "Autumn Don't Come Back". I'm going to use the first song as the title song of the movie. ”

These are all classic Chinese songs from the previous life in this period, and it is very suitable to use them as the soundtrack of movies.

"Oh, "Wait a minute"? Why not the song "Fairy Tale"? I think the name of this song is very suitable for the theme song. Kim Yoon-chul raised his doubts.

"Uh......" he asked Li Shenglin. Li Shenglin felt that Xu Yuteng's two songs were more rhythmic and better. But you can't say to Kim Yoon-chol, are you a musician or am I a musician? I have to say, "Let's listen first, listen and see......"

Jin Yinzhe asked casually, and when he became familiar with Li Shenglin, he no longer hid it. Kim Yoon-chul held the lyrics in his hand, and after listening to the songs, he praised Lee Seung-rim: "These songs are very good! In the end, Kim Yoon-chul regretted everything.

"I can't do the Korean lyrics, but I actually have an idea...... Or let's just put the Chinese lyrics and fill in the subtitles in the movie when the time comes. Do you think it's okay?" Li Shenglin proposed.

"Chinese lyrics, ah......" Kim Yoon-chul thought for a moment, and replayed the song a few times with the belt in his hand.

Li Shenglin did not bother him, and Li Shenglin had his own understanding of Korean or Chinese, who was completely proficient in both Chinese. There are many words in Korean that are short-sounding and urgent, and if you want to sing rap has a natural advantage over Chinese, and lyrical songs, Chinese is more flavorful.

It's not that Korean doesn't have good lyrics, isn't Kim Jong Kook's "A Man" a very good lyrical? This is just a little insight from Lee Seung Rim, no matter what country it is, there are very good fast-paced songs and lyric songs in modern music.

Kim Yoon-chul listened to it several times, and finally shook his head: "I still think the lyricism in Korean is better." ”

Although Li Shenglin thinks that Chinese lyricism is better, but it has not reached the point of insisting on not listening to other people's opinions, and Kim Yoon-cheol, as an authentic Korean, sometimes his thoughts represent the feelings of Korean audiences: "Then according to your meaning, let's find someone else to fill in the lyrics for these songs." ”

"Good. Kim Yoon-chul nodded, and then suddenly thought of a question: "Who are you going to find to sing these songs? You sang it yourself in this demo, do you plan to sing it yourself?"

"Yes, I made the lyrics and tunes for these songs, and I am also a singer, so of course I want to sing them myself. Is there anything wrong with this?" asked Lee Seung Lim, looking at Kim Yoon Chol.

"There's nothing wrong with that, you can sing it yourself. "Kim Yoon-chul is indispensable for this.

"By the way, director, there's one more thing. I plan to contact the distributor in Chinese mainland to see if it can be released, and I want to keep the Chinese lyrics as a Chinese version and release them in China. In addition, it is necessary to produce professional Chinese subtitles for the film, and it is necessary to make a separate version to retain or delete some shots. Lee explained to Kim Yoon-chul some precautions to make a Chinese version.

"Well, that's actually easy to say. The two versions are roughly the same, and the workload of editing again is not very large, but if you want to keep the Chinese songs and make professional Chinese subtitles, you have to hire someone, after all, there are no people in our crew who are proficient in Chinese except you. Kim Yoon-chul gave Lee Seung-rim half a reassurance.

"Let's cut the song and score it first, and I'll be able to do that. The problem of Chinese subtitles can be done briefly, and it may also need to be produced by the Chinese distributor itself, if we have done the work, people may not be satisfied. Li Shenglin also made a joke at the end. If you do too much preliminary work and end up not passing the trial in the mainland, won't it become a joke?

……

Li Shenglin originally thought that he would follow and finish the editing first, but he didn't expect that not everything would go according to his expectations. Just when the Chinese song soundtrack was still part of the way to completion, Li Shenglin received a call from Jay Chou.

Jay Chou said on the phone that he took a movie, the two directors are from Hong Kong, and the original movie is RB's comic called "Initial D". He called to mean that he wanted to invite Li Shenglin to play a supporting role, and asked Li Shenglin if he was going.

This big brother is quite concerned about himself, and he is afraid that he will not be popular, so he will pull himself in whatever he does. Li Shenglin joked on the phone: "What role should I play? If I play a person as bad as your little friend Amu, I won't do it." ”

"Hahaha. Jay Chou laughed twice on the phone and gave Li Shenglin a satisfactory message: "I know you can't play this role well, the director said to let you try the role of Zhongli Yi, what do you think." ”

Nakazato Takeshi, in the movie he is a good friend of the male number two Ryosuke Takahashi, and the two agreed to have a match, but in the early part of the movie, Nakazato Takeshi, who drove the GTR, was defeated by Takumi Fujiwara's AE86.

"That's okay, Brother Jay, how dare I push back the role you introduced to me? Are you filming in RB?" Li Shenglin replied with a smile.

"We're going to the Czech Republic to train on drifting before we go to RB to shoot in Mt. Haruna. Are you going to the Czech Republic to meet us or do you want to come to me first?" Jay Chou said on the phone. When he said that, he was referring to Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"I'll go to you first, meet the director first, I can race cars, I used to study in the army. As long as I'm not allowed to drive on the water, I can play in the desert or on the road. Li Shenglin made a joke.
