Chapter 132: Skyfall

Andy Lau and Li Ming are also singers, so they can naturally hear whether the songs are good or bad, and after the song is finished, they can't help asking: "Great tune, what's the name?" ”

Before Chen Tiandu could speak, Hans-Timo replied thoughtfully, saying: "I know this song, it's "Forgive &Forget" by the Hungarian choir, a great song. Chen, do you want to use it as background music? ”

"Well, I think it's quite appropriate to do the opening BGM, and it feels like an epic. Of course, it's up to you to decide whether it's suitable or not, I'm just building it. He changed his words and said, "There are two other songs that I expect to use in specific scenes in the movie." Just help me hear about it. ”

Hans complained: "Chen, you can't do this, even though you've also released records, you can't steal my job." If the song wasn't good enough, I'd be against it. Even if it's good enough, if it doesn't match the atmosphere of the movie, I'll still oppose it. ”

"Hey, you've also released a record, I don't know?" Andy Lau was quite curious. Han Sanpin said: "I have released a few songs, and they are very famous in the mainland. By the way, I have one more question for you about your songs, so I'll talk about it later. ”

Chen Tiandu was embarrassed, "I'm playing tickets, it's not a record, it's just a few songs." ”

Music played again at the scene, the previous song was Cai Qin's "Forgotten Time", which is undoubtedly a classic song for those who know. It's a pity that if you listen to it alone, it's a song, and it doesn't feel much now without the foil of the film. Hans Zimo just joined the crew, he didn't know much about the content of the movie, and this is another Chinese song, he didn't say much, and he has reservations for the time being. But when he heard the second song, he was immediately stunned.

This is a small sample, which was temporarily recorded, and the singing skills are not very good. But to the ears of professionals, it is immediately different. Starting with the first line "this-is-the-end" and continuing to the last line "at-skyfall" is an amazing tune. Before he could finish listening, Hanstimo nodded frequently, and when he was done, the room suddenly became lively.

"What's the name of this song? Sky falling? ”

"Who created it?"

"European and American soul music, not bad, even in the current music world, it is second to none."

"Even a layman like me thinks it sounds good."

Everyone talked for a while, but unexpectedly set off the first high tide of discussion, and even Hans Timo couldn't wait, and said, "Chen, let's reveal the answer." ”

Chen Tiandu smiled and said, "How about you tell me about this song first?" ”

Everyone looked at him to see what this soundtrack master would say. Hans Timo did not hesitate to praise him, saying, "Very good song, great tune." The soul-piercing sound, with a slightly mysterious melody, reveals a hint of Western-style classicism and elegance from time to time. I feel like there's a story here, a plot full of suspense, and your protagonist may be an elegant cop but very tactful, am I right? It's a pity that the singer who sings the demo is not suitable for this kind of singing, and his singing skills are lacking. If I want to sing, I will change it to BeyoncΓ© and Whitney, and the effect will be better...... It's not impossible to win the Billboard Championship List. ”

He couldn't wait, "Tell me the answer." ”

Chen Tiandu was robbed again, but this time it was Niu Yingying who interjected angrily, "It's the boss's lyrics and music, and his name is Skyfall." Chen Tiandu was suddenly helpless, and he wanted to say something and shut up. Well, let's take it as him, it's not the first time anyway, and he doesn't know if there will be another Adele in the future.

Everyone started talking about music first, and discussed a lot about the movie score, but Ye Jintian held back for a long time, and he had something to say.

Finally found an opportunity, suddenly couldn't wait any longer, and asked: "Director, I found a problem, I don't know if you did it unintentionally or deliberately, Cai Qin's "Forgotten Time" is a Chinese song, "Skyfall" is a Western song, these are two cultural extremes. And this extreme expression, not only on this song, IMHO, I found that in the footage that the film has been filmed, there are actually two different styles. One is simple and crude, flat and straightforward, which seems to pay attention to realism; The other is quite beautiful and has a lot of film shooting techniques, which is in line with the aesthetics of the East. But this kind of problem appears in the same movie, which is a very dangerous thing. I was a little confused before, but today I have to remind you when you come up with two songs. ”

Chen Tiandu is also at the Oscar level, so there shouldn't be such a problem, but with today's meeting, he still can't help but say it, this is his duty. The conference room was quiet, professional and specialized, and not many people found out about this problem.

"There are really two styles of shooting, and we've discussed them many times before we started shooting. This was Chen's attempt, and he said he was looking for a style that was compatible with East and West. ”

"Oh!" Andy Lau, Han Sanpin and others were slightly stunned, this is a big problem. The inability of Chinese films to enter the Western continent is a common problem, and everyone has previously classified it as cultural differences. Countless people want to break this barrier and earn dollars, but they hit a wall again and again. The only one that succeeded, that is, Chenlong. It's a pity that Chenlong's shooting is completely Western, and there is no reference.

So put it on Chen Tiandu, who currently seems to be the best director in Hollywood except for John Woo, how will he solve this problem. It is expected that he will not make a sequel to the popular "The Matrix", and insists on returning to China to make such a police film, which has also made a lot of preparations.

"yes, that's what I'm trying."

Chen Tiandu didn't let everyone wait longer, and said directly, saying: "I have consulted many people, some people tell me that I am story-based, some people tell me that I cater to the American style, and some people tell me that this is very dangerous, and only ** will accompany me at every turn." So after a lot of consideration, I decided to merge the two styles. Seeking truth in beauty, maybe when it comes to release, the Asian version will be slightly different from the European and American version. ”

Ye Jintian breathed a sigh of relief, "Since it's your plan, I'll talk too much, but I still hope that the director will communicate with me more." In a film, the art director and director should have a very close relationship. We should have nothing to talk about, of course, just for the movies. ”

"Okay, teachable." Chen Tiandu nodded sincerely. That's what this meeting is for, isn't it.

He was also quite curious, but about the movie that Ye Jintian had just ended, "Ye Zhi, in fact, I am very curious about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Li Case, the story is from Wang Dulu's novel, but I am curious about what style Director Li Case will make?" ”

Ye Jintian was a little embarrassed, but still said something, "I shouldn't say more, I can only tell you that his movies are going to the West." The film was made without you, and this film was popular in Asia. You'll see platonic love, Shakespearean dialogues, and a sublime humanism. Even the character of the protagonist has the style of a cowboy from the American West, and there will even be clues to American popular dramas. ”

After a pause, he seemed to have a lot of words to hold, but he still had one more sentence, and said: "In short, the significance of the film directed by Li Case is not how many Chinese elements he shows, but how to make many Americans understand and accept this kind of display in an appropriate way, but it is the same thing as the two styles you are exploring and trying now, and he is doing the same thing." If you want his phone, I can give it to you. ”

Chen Tiandu's natural way "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" covets the future, and he didn't think too much about it when he started filming "Infernal Affairs", but now that he thinks about it, he wants to make "Infernal Affairs" go further, and he may collide with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". He has great respect for Director Li, after all, he is the only Chinese Oscar winner for Best Director.

"Xie Yezhi, I do want to visit."
