Chapter 246: Featured Rock
I flipped through the script at home last night, what should the music of this movie do, Ye Luo knew it in his heart.
This movie is about Zhou Xuan, the queen of songs in the thirties of the last century, as the music of this movie, it must reflect the music style of that era.
Ten miles of foreign field, the world of flowers.
However, this style, because of the war, there are very, very few old records that can be used for reference, only a few songs, all of which are classic, and almost all people in the country have heard them. If you put it in the movie, it won't be very interesting, at most you can only put one or two songs to suit the occasion, and the rest will have to be rewritten.
But this is naturally difficult to fall, in another world, the songs of the old Bund in the last century, more have survived than this world, just apply a few songs, it's easy to get it.
The theme song of this movie, Ye Luo has thought of it - "Jasmine".
This song is placed on Zhou Xuan, which is a metaphor for flowers, and it is suitable to use it in the last stage of her life to wash away the temperament and style of lead Hua.
Of course, all the music of a movie is not so simple, and there must be some cutscenes and the like, these Ye Luo plans to do it slowly this weekend, whether it is original, or just take a melody from his head and adapt it, it is not difficult for him.
Calculate the days, even if you come leisurely and do it slowly, with five or six days of working hours, basically this five-million project can be completed. So for Ye Luo, although the investment in this movie is 10 million, what he paid is part of the income last month, plus five or six days of leisurely work.
Saturday. As is customary, it is the day when the new song song is released.
This week, it's a battle, what tricks Ding Shaoyang will play, Ye Luo doesn't know, the two ghosts are clear, and it will inevitably be rock.
And Ye Luo, in addition to Song Yan's song "Torment" this week, will also come up with a rock song.
Last week, there were four songs on each side, for a total of twelve new songs. The twin ghosts once stood out. In the end, the follow-up was weak, Ye Luo estimated that these two brothers would inevitably hold back and take two good songs out this week to save some face.
Sure enough. Two o'clock in the afternoon. Ye Luoyi opened the page of the special area of the two ghosts. Both songs are very powerful just by looking at the name: "Hustle" and "Ghost City".
Among them, "Hustle" is a heavy metal rock song.
Heavy metal rock, raw, rough, even hysterical and manic in its senses. This kind of rock music, which is difficult for ordinary people to accept, is because this kind of music is too radical.
Obviously, Yu Yiyi was also difficult to accept, she listened to this song beside Ye Luo, and slowly frowned: "I really don't understand the twin ghosts, why do you want to do heavy metal rock." ”
Ye Luo smiled and said slowly: "Heavy metal, compared with other types of music, does not have too many political tendencies, but simply creates a kind of outstanding music that integrates noise, irritability, beauty, and reasonableness, so in terms of hearing, it may be very lively, and in a certain way, the music structure is clean and neat." ”
Speaking of this, Ye Luo paused and continued: "Then I'll test you." ”
"Oh." Yu Yiyi straightened her body.
"Heavy metals, in terms of classification, what are the two types?" Ye Luo asked.
"I know that." Yu Yiyi said happily, "Melody metal and rhythm metal." ”
"And what kind of one is this?" Ye Luo pointed to the speaker.
"Well......" Yu Yiyi thought for a while, "The melody, this "Hustle" by the two ghosts, still pays more attention to the melody, the electric guitar is very well arranged, and the level of arrangement is really high." It's this genre that will be a little difficult for Chinese music fans to accept. ”
"Not bad. It seems that Mr. Niu has opened a small stove for you recently, and you can't learn this in your freshman year. Ye Luo praised Yu Yiyi, and then said: "If rock and roll wants to become a kind of commercial music in China, which has admired Confucian culture for thousands of years, it must make compromises. In the song of the twin ghosts, compromise is not enough. Although the standard is high, the recognition of music fans may be poor. ”
While chatting, everyone finished listening to this song, and Ye Luo started listening to "Ghost City" a little mouse.
As soon as he heard the prelude of "Ghost City", Ye Luo immediately had an amazing feeling, and the synthetic effect of this flavor was basically unheard in China.
"What is this?" Ye Luo asked Yu Yiyi.
"Huh? Instructor, you don't know? Yu Yiyi was very proud, "This is gothic rock." ”
"Oh." Ye Luo nodded, and then asked, "Then what is Gothic?" ”
"Well...... this" Yu Yiyi scratched her head, and then looked at Chu Mo'er who was sitting on the other side of Ye Luo.
This Nizi is now thinking through it, Ye Luo spoils her, but at the same time, she will teach, and when she can't teach, she will also stare and scold. But Chu Mo'er really spoils her, and when Ye Luo sometimes deliberately embarrasses her, it's always right to find Chu Mo'er to solve the siege.
After a few months of contact, Yu Yiyi really regarded Chu Mo'er as a teacher.
Chu Mo'er originally just looked at Ye Luo and Yu Yiyi with a smile, and when she saw Yu Yiyi's signal for help, she shook her head and said, "Gothic, this is a relatively broad word. The birth of this term is related to the history of Europe.
The Goths, originally a branch of the Germanic peoples, were divided into Ostrogoths and Visigoths during their migration to the south, and the Visigoths once controlled Spain and established an empire. The Ostrogoths, on the other hand, invaded and conquered Italy in 489 AD.
Although the empire established by the Ostrogoths in Italy eventually died out, the hatred of the Italians for them was very deep, so during the European Renaissance, the Italians named a certain art form 'Gothic', which at that time meant barbarism.
The Gothic art form, with its specific characteristics, is towering, eerie, eerie, mysterious, terrifying, and at the beginning of its birth, negative and evil. But after hundreds of years of evolution, in modern times, Gothic things often have high artistic value, such as Cologne Cathedral in Germany, which is a typical Gothic building. ”
After Chu Mo'er finished saying this in one breath, Ye Luo was already applauding: "Oh, Mo'er, when you talk about these knowledge points in the future, don't say the specific year." Otherwise, it is too much of a scholar and does not seem to be close to the people. ”
Chu Mo'er smiled and nodded.
Yu Yiyi immediately continued: "Then in the field of music, gothic rock is similar to what Sister Mo'er just said, that is, rock music with elements such as ruin, death, darkness, and sorrow. Of course, gothic rock in the narrow sense has now been replaced by death metal and goth metal. ”
Ye Luo nodded and said: "Yiyi, you are indeed not bad at music, but you have to be like Mo'er, you must expand your reading horizons, not just music." Musicians must have a wide vision, and a wide vision can make good music. ”
"Oh." Yu Yiyi nodded.
The three of them chatted while listening to the song "Ghost City", which is really good, but the problem of this audience is estimated to be slightly bigger than the previous "Hustle". After listening to it, even Ye Luo felt a little infiltrating, so he found a topic to ask Yu Yiyi, so as not to scare this little girl.
"The two ghosts are playing in an evil way." Ye Luo smiled, "It means it's quite interesting, but this popularity, I guess they didn't expect it." ”
"The route of the two ghosts also makes sense." Hu Jianing, who had never spoken, said at this time, "Grab popularity, the two ghosts themselves understand that they can't rob you, and they can't rob Ding Shaoyang, after all, this big drama in the current domestic music scene was created by you and Ding Shaoyang."
Therefore, they play some special music, catch some die-hard songs, and catch as many as they can, anyway, their fans of rock and Cantonese songs are stable. ”
"If that's the case." Ye Luo smiled, "Then they are thinking too much." ”
"yes." Hu Jianing also said, "They may feel that the market for rock and Cantonese songs is quite stable, so they have the capital to play special music." But actually, if you're going to rob them of music fans, it's a matter of minutes. For example, today's rock song, hehe, I don't believe it, after the two ghosts listen to your rock today, you dare to play special music next week. ”
"Yes, instructor. What is this rock song of yours this week, I haven't heard of it. Yu Yiyi said.
"Then listen to it." Ye Luo said with a smile. (To be continued......)
