Chapter 107, "Black and White World"!
Hong kong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Kyoho Pictures, a post-production room.
The curtains were drawn, and only a few computer screens were lit in the room.
Director Liao Feng leaned back in a chair with his eyes closed, with headphones on his head, as if he was asleep.
There was a post-production employee sitting in front of the computer, also wearing headphones, but he looked at Liao Feng with melancholy eyes.
The new movie "Black and White World" has been set for the National Day, and there are less than four months before its release, but the theme song has not been completed.
Speaking of which, this "Black and White World" dragged on long enough, and the initial script was established in 11 years, but Liao Feng personally revised it, and it took seven or eight versions to change it in two years before it was finally finalized.
After 13 years of sponsorship, Liao Feng has a set of frightening but five-body routines, that is, when the actors have not yet been determined, he dares to tell investors and sponsors that which super-first-line superstars, actors, actresses, and popular stars will definitely participate.
Most investors will invest money even if they don't rush to those stars, but with stars, they are willing to invest more.
With money, he started looking for stars, no matter how big the star is, even if the schedule is full, as long as it is Liao Feng's play, he will sell him face and push down other announcements to participate.
This is where Liao Feng is magical.
Time is money, and the investment brought by Liao Feng is basically spent in time, and the salaries of celebrities are not much, and some even charge a symbolic one yuan.
In 2015, after a year of preparation, the money was available, and the actors' schedules were specially vacated for him, and at this time, "Black and White World" started filming.
But the filming process is a long time, and the script will be revised in the middle of the process, and the details will be processed more deeply as the shooting effect is achieved.
Liao Feng is notoriously slow to make movies, and he is also notoriously strict with his works, sometimes the actors are finished, and he may be called back to reshoot a certain segment.
Some of his whims will also be temporarily added to the play, filmed to see the effect, after rounds of negation, affirmation, re-denial, and re-affirmation...... There is no guarantee that it will be a feature film.
Because until the last moment of the movie's release, no one can say whether a scene that has been filmed for a month will be cut.
The post-production was done in the middle of the shoot, which took no less time than the shooting.
It's been June 16 now, and Liao Feng is still grinding time for theme music.
The theme song set at the beginning of this movie is a song, sung by the leading actor Yun Tianhao.
Yun Tianhao graduated from the academy, and he started acting in his sophomore year, basically filming movies, he is thirty years old and has good acting skills, Liao Feng also recognizes it, plus a group of actor-level bigwigs on the set to play him, and his performance is also very good.
But he is also a well-known pentatonic in the circle and loves to sing,
finally grabbed the theme song of the movie, but Yun Tianhao spent a full four months to record it, most of which was spent on repairing the sound, and the producer repaired it for him almost word by word.
Despite this, Liao Feng still didn't give face to his song.
Later, the theme song was changed several times, but Liao Feng was not very satisfied, and finally simply did not want the song, and used the piano music played by the heroine in the film as the theme song.
The later staff thought that this was the end of the calculation, but they didn't expect Liao Feng to suddenly propose in early May to replace the piano music played by the heroine.
He believes that since it is the theme song and the music that the movie runs through the whole play, it must be in line with the plot and theme of the movie.
It was originally set to be a piano piece that has been played by all piano lovers in the world, although it matches the heroine's character, but it does not fit in with the theme of the movie itself, so it has to be re-chosen.
In this way, everyone devoted themselves to the search for piano music again, and after listening to the classics of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign masters one by one, there was still nothing that satisfied Liao Feng.
Late last month, Liao Feng decided to find a well-known musician to write a new piano piece, and at the same time, it was also open to the world.
In this way, it should be possible to ensure that the piano music and the film are compatible.
But ten days have passed, and the theme song of the movie is still not settled, and none of the audition samples sent by Liao Feng are satisfactory.
"Keep this one, replace the next one!"
In the quiet production room, Liao Feng said suddenly.
The production staff hurriedly changed the next song and said: "Director Liao, this is the work of Sun Yixun, a gold medal producer on Taiwan Island." ”
Liao Feng didn't speak, but after listening for less than a minute, he spoke again: "Change!"
The production staff changed the next song and continued to introduce: "This is the work of RB musician Ichiro Sakata!"
"Change!"
"This is the work of mainland musician Wang Yu!"
"Stay, move on to the next one!"
"This is the work of Australian pianist Philp!"
"Keep, change!"
“……”
The production staff was also speechless, and said: "Director Liao, as of today, the samples of the works sent by well-known musicians have been listened to." ”
"Then listen to the works collected by the people!"
"Good!"
A new round of audition started again, and Liao Feng also began to worry, not knowing when he would be able to hear the works that satisfied him.
……
Capital.
After the recording of "Canon Variations", Li Zhifan put on headphones and listened to it repeatedly, and at the same time used software to continuously debug.
This time Liao Feng's movie theme song, he is determined to win, so he must be taken seriously and rigorously.
But after listening to it dozens of times, Li Zhifan finally decided on the final version, registered the copyright first, and then sent it to Zhao Yiduo's mailbox.
After Zhao Yiduo received the piano music from Li Zhifan, he listened to it first, but he didn't expect it to make him addicted to it the first time.
After that, this "Canon Variations" was like poison, and he couldn't help but want to take another puff over and over again.
While listening, he sent this piano piece to the mailbox for the theme song of "Black and White World".
But this is not the end, Zhao Yiduo immediately booked a plane ticket and prepared to go to Xiangjiang in person.
This open call for the theme song of "Black and White World" not only attracted well-known musicians in the industry, but also many folk gods, who also wanted to fight for this opportunity.
Zhao Yiduo knew that sitting and waiting was very likely to miss the opportunity, and he had to bring this piano piece to Liao Feng and let him listen to it in person.
Even if I heard Liao Feng's refusal with my own ears, I didn't want to get an email that turned out to be unanswered.
Although he has never been to Xiangjiang, and he doesn't know the specific road of Jufeng Pictures in Xiangjiang, he has done a lot of homework, since he wants to be an agent, he has to take risks to do many things, how can there be pies falling from the sky at home?
And he promised Li Zhifan that this case must be taken down for him, Li Zhifan has done everything he should do, and he has done it very well, and then it depends on him as an agent.
