Two months of filming time have passed in a blink of an eye, and the filming and editing of "Crazy Stone" have all been completed, the whole film is 92 minutes of standard time, plus the opening and ending credits are a total of 105 minutes, every second of these 105 minutes of video is born in laughter, "Crazy Stone" crew in Li Xiaole's "Ten times happier" game, produced a wonderful chemical reaction, whether it is on the set, editing room, or actors' rest, everywhere is full of laughter.

There is only one question left for Zuihou, the soundtrack.

And this kind of fast-paced comedy movie, a fitting and aura soundtrack is very important, especially the black humor in it, if there is no soundtrack that matches the mood, it is easy to make the story boring.

The so-called black humor is that the tone of the film has a cold tone of "black", the characters in the film are very serious about the story, and the audience is very happy to watch, which is a very clever contrast expression.

But in fact, except for Hong Kong-style nonsensical comedies, most comedy films are shot in similar ways, just like Li Xiaole's previous "Color is Empty", which is essentially no different from the jokes in "Crazy Stone", but "Color is Empty" is a typical youth comedy, full of hormonal youth.

The main characters of "Crazy Stone" are middle-aged, middle-aged humor is more "cold", more serious and realistic, and even cruel, if you want to turn all these factors into a unified and harmonious "black" tone, it mainly depends on picture editing and soundtrack, of which the soundtrack is the most important.

Weishenme's later generations will have such a high evaluation of "Crazy Stone", but many people ignore an important issue, this film has the most Haode film soundtrack artist in China like Ning Hao.

Li Xiaole and Ning Hao entered the recording studio of Beijing Film Studio in order to match a suitable soundtrack, and the recording studio has a computer cutting table for editing music, and for the director, the biggest advantage is that in the production of movies in China Film, you can use the music copyrights of China Film, including some famous foreign Shijie songs, and the money for the soundtrack can be completely saved.

There are also a lot of directors in the soundtrack room, most of whom come to choose music for their film and television works, but except for those who can afford to hire professional composers or Hong Kong soundtracks, everyone will not use computer cutting consoles, but directly use ready-made music.

And Li Xiaole and Ning Hao, the two newcomers of China Film, sat excitedly in front of the computer cutting table as soon as they entered the door, which made everyone feel crying and laughing, and what was even more exaggerated was that the rookie director and director of the second production actually selected dozens of songs for editing after listening to the tunes for a morning, which made people feel even more ridiculous.

"Director, what do you want to do?" Ning Hao is a professional MV director, and his understanding of music far exceeds that of ordinary film directors, so he asked with confidence.

"I'll describe, you adapt the music as I say." Li Xiaole nodded and said, now Ning Hao has not made an art film like "Incense", and he is not mature in terms of film understanding, so he still needs to make his own ideas.

"You want to describe?" Ning Hao's face stiffened a little, and he looked at Li Xiaole and said, "Do you know music?" ”

"You know, I've made a record in Korea." Li Xiaole is heartless, this is indeed a fact.

"You've also released a record...... Ning Hao was speechless again, thinking that this little director really touched everything, in fact, this made him even more helpless, if he didn't understand anything, it was okay, at least he would respect his own opinions, and he was most afraid of this kind of half-ass, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to listen to his words.

"For the first song, we first determined the main tone and melody of the film, I wanted to use the adaptation of "Four Little Swans", you have to make the rhythm lighter, I don't want the original version of the feeling of swans frolicking by the Amano Holy Lake, I need the taste of comedy, just like the hurried and fun atmosphere of those workers in ordinary workshops, and have a little spoof feeling."

After Li Xiaole finished speaking, Ning Hao immediately put on his headphones, and then began to trim and debug "Four Little Swans" in less than ten minutes, and trimmed out the first version.

"Yes, it's a little interesting, the pace should be slower, and then adjust the taste." After Li Xiaole heard it, he praised it again and again, after all, he was the original producer, and he understood it casually.

The directors next to them all felt that these two people were messing around, but at this time, a tall middle-aged man suddenly came in, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and all the directors put down their lives and said hello to that person: "Teacher Tan, why are you here." "Hello Teacher Tan."

"Director Chu, Director Yu hasn't seen you for a long time, I'm here to change the soundtrack, it's a little flawed." Teacher Tan held up the hard drive in his hand and smiled bitterly.

"Did you find any problems during the test screening of "Hero"?" Director Chu, who was in charge of managing the soundtrack room, was surprised.

"Yes, Director Zhang said that the sound of the sword splitting bamboo should be softer, I was going to the United States to change it, but it was too late, so I could only save it here in Beiying." Teacher Tan explained with an easy-going smile, looked at the cutting table, and was slightly surprised to see Li Xiaole and Ning Hao wearing headphones.

"I'll let these two boys get up, Teacher Tan, you can use them first." That Director Chu frowned.

"It's not appropriate." Teacher Tan waved his hand and smiled: "According to the regulations, I should make an appointment, let them use it when they make an appointment, I'll wait next to me." ”

"It's okay, they'll finish it right away anyway, you sit down first, and I'll pour you a glass of water." Director Chu respectfully moved a chair for him, this Teacher Tan is a real big man.

Teacher Tan sat next to the cutting table with a gentle smile, waited patiently, and inadvertently overheard the conversation between Li Xiaole and Ning Hao.

"Ning Hao, your music can't be too expressive, this is not an MV, the soundtrack is an intuitive feeling of the audience, for a character with few scenes, we can't give the audience the trouble to guess what kind of character he is, what thoughts, to use the outside to express, our music also fully expresses the characteristics of this character."

"Director Li, what you mean is that each of our characters has to design a piece of music."

"Of course, I'll tell you one by one, our 'Detective' Bao Shihong's music should be local, you have to find me a pipa joke, but you can't ambush on all sides, this audience is too familiar and easy to play, the international thief Mike, you have to highlight his international, you have to use Western electronic music, the rhythm is stronger, Brother Dao's trio, you have to be more marketable, you have to use bass music style to be sneaky, and you have to design a piece of music ......for each character."

Teacher Tan raised his eyebrows as he listened, designing music for each character? This is the same as Zhang Yimou's requirements for him? Could it be that there are still local Chinese directors who are so attentive to the soundtrack? There is a reason for Mr. Tan's surprise, mainland films have been influenced by the Soviet Union for a long time, and they pay great attention to the performances and pictures of the actors, and almost pay little attention to the music, even directors such as Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang despise the expressiveness of the soundtrack, and they are all given full authority to the soundtrack to execute.

He thought that there was no director in the Chinese film industry who understood the soundtrack except for Zhang Yimou, but he didn't expect to meet one here, Mr. Tan curiously picked up a pair of headphones from the cutting table, put them on and listened carefully, but he didn't expect this to be a full two hours, and the more he listened, the more surprised he was.

If you look at ten mainland movies, you will find that nine of them will only have piano music, although beautiful but lifeless, and the soundtrack style of the whole movie in front of you can only be described in one word - unpredictable!

In addition to the famous works such as the main theme of "Four Little Swans", there is also an unusually novel adaptation of Peking Opera segments, the whole music uses bangzi, pipa, guzheng, and even adds the four major pieces of Peking Opera, the electronic music combination of Beijing-style small drum beating and backbeat, forming a very modern style.

The rock music with great style, as well as the chanting of Buddhist scriptures, are all shocking to the ears, and the singing line of the strings in the middle embellishes the whole soundtrack with a warm feeling.

He doesn't even watch a movie, just listening to the music, he can hear that this is a story with a strong atmosphere of the market, but it is expressed in a trendy way.

What surprised him even more was that there was a very intriguing soundtrack in Zuihou, which was unbelievably Spanish-style flamenco melody, and the wonderful thing about this melody was that he sometimes played with a big bass, sometimes with an electric bass, sometimes with a plucked string of the picture, and Zuihou even had a pipa pizzicato to join it......

This paragraph is simply stunning!

Teacher Tan listened attentively and suddenly asked, "Director Li, what is your flamenco soundtrack used for?" Scenes of men and women dancing? ”

At this time, Ning Hao went to the toilet, Li Xiaole was listening to the soundtrack, and suddenly heard a strange voice calling himself, looked up, but found that it was a completely unfamiliar face, and thought it was one of the directors of China Film, so he said impatiently:

"It's nothing, just use it casually."

Those directors who were secretly looking at this side and had been wanting to talk to Mr. Tan almost fainted on the spot when they heard Li Xiaole's answer, this person has something wrong with his head...... He was actually impatient with Teacher Tan......

Doesn't he know that Tan Dun, who is sitting in front of them, is the greatest contemporary Chinese musician? Tan Dun is the only musician in Asia who has won the "Bach Music Award", "Grammy Award" and "Academy Award for Best Original Music", and is one of the ten national treasures in the field of Chinese art.

is disrespectful to Tan Dun, but I'm afraid that Zhang Yimou is not so big-eyed, right?

can be taught a lesson by Li Xiaole, but Tan Dun is not angry at all, he knows too well the pain of being interrupted while concentrating on editing music, but instead smiled gently:

"Can you tell me, maybe I can help you with a reference."

"You?" Li Xiaole's mind is full of work, and he doesn't want to pay much attention to whoever it is, but if he doesn't say it, this person is only afraid that it will be more troublesome to stalk, so he can only say helplessly:

"The scene corresponding to this soundtrack is not a scene of the male and female protagonists dancing, in fact, it is a scene of two men fighting each other for life and death, I used the MV technique to make them pose symbolically, just like in "The Matrix", you should have seen it, this is the most thrilling plot, but I in turn use the flamenco music of the dance performance, reflecting the emotional reversal, which will achieve an unexpected cold humor."
