Chapter 117: Brave Boy, Go and Perform a Miracle
Before the broadcast of "Neon Genesis Evangelion", Brilliant TV built wave after wave for the animation.
The first wave of trailers, the second wave of variety shows, the third wave of trailers, the fourth wave of voice actor interviews, and so on. In addition, he used the duel with Beijing TV to create a gimmick to create a topic, and before "Neon Genesis Evangelion" was broadcast, he used wave after wave of offensives to hype the popularity of this animation.
Of course, "Doomsday Battle Song" is also in the sky.
It seems that the unworldly enmity of Beijing TV has reached a very consistent tacit understanding with Brilliant TV in the face of visible interests. The two major TV stations are fighting in the air, you say a wave, I blow a wave, fight each other, and stir up the two works through the topic between "Doomsday War Song" and "Neon Genesis Evangelion". When the last season's animations came to an end one after another, people were looking forward to more and more of what the two animations that were going to face off in the air would look like and whether it was worth looking forward to.
During the period when Jingcheng TV and Brilliant TV stepped up their publicity, SIA Studios worked overtime to work on the animation of "Neon Genesis Evangelion". During the post-production of the first few episodes of the anime, the opening and ending interludes of the anime also began to enter the recording stage as previously planned.
These songs and music were all selected by SIA Studio, and Luo Zheng's opinions were not referred to like the trailer.
- To be precise, not without references. Instead, Luo Zheng was busy with other things and did not put forward his own opinions, so the SIA studio had no way to refer to it.
After the opening and ending songs and interludes were made, Han Xinnan also deliberately let Luo Zheng look at it and ask Luo Zheng's opinion.
"In the second half of the anime, when the theme and background of the anime were revealed, I thought we could change the background music of the battle to a symphony. There will be a sense of religious rituals, such as Ode to Joy, Aliluia, you can refer to it. Luo Zheng put forward his own opinion.
When I first watched the anime, when Asuka was polluted by the spirit of the bird angel, it was very touching with that symphonic music. And "EVA" is not the only one that uses such musical interludes. In the animation of the time, it can be described as unique and eye-catching.
"Okay, I'll write it down first, and I'll refer to it later." Han Xinnan said while brushing and writing on the notebook in his hand, "What about the other parts?" What do you think of the opening and ending songs? And Yao Yao, do you have any comments? ”
Han Xinnan asked Yao Yao out of respect, but when she asked Luo Zheng, she was asking very sincerely. Luo Zheng's launch of "Heyjude" in the trailer has fully proved Luo Zheng's talent and strength in music, and Luo Zheng is the original author of "Neon Genesis Evangelion", so his thoughts on this work are more direct and accurate, so Luo Zheng's opinions and suggestions are very worthy of reference.
Luo Zheng said at the moment: "I have a song called "Brave Boy, Go and Create a Miracle", I think it is better to use it as the opening song. ”
"'Brave boy, go and create miracles'?" Han Xinnan frowned.
Li Jie also frowned and said, "What kind of song is this?" It doesn't seem to fit the theme of the anime. ”
"yes." Others nodded.
Li Jie said: "To be honest, this animation really doesn't see a brave teenager creating miracles, and I even suspect that by the end of the day, our studio is afraid that the angry audience will be bombed into the sky." ”
When a group of people in the studio heard Li Jie's words, they all laughed, expressing their deep sympathy, and at the same time euphemistically expressing their dissatisfaction with Comrade Sargeras.
The ending of "Neon Genesis Evangelion", not to mention that the people in the studio predicted that the audience would be dissatisfied, even the people in the studio who knew the plot were very dissatisfied. That ending was so desperate that it didn't seem like a normal person could have imagined.
Even in the previous life, some people thought that the ending of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" was made by Hideaki Anno to take revenge on the audience after the TV version of the ending was not understood and threatened by the audience.
There are many people in the studio who have read Luo Zheng's comic works, and some even suspect that Luo Zheng is psychologically dark and has problems.
Otherwise, why is every work such a desperate ending?
"Destiny Comes Night" and "The Realm of the Sky" won't end like this, right? If yes, I won't watch it! "Someone threatened Luo Zheng like this.
Luo Zheng smiled and was silent, making people helpless.
And now, Luo Zheng shrugged his shoulders and smiled, and said, "Then change the name, it's called "Cruel Angel's Program of Action". ”
"It's a good name." Everyone in the studio nodded.
"Is the song ready?" Han Xinnan asked directly to the point.
Luo Zheng nodded and said, "When I wrote "Heyjude" before, I wrote it by the way. I didn't show it to you, though. I'm going to get it now. ”
He got up and took the notebook and handed it to Han Xinnan. The score of "Cruel Angel's Program of Action" is written in the book, just like "Heyjude", and the arrangement of the song has been directly composed. But what he took out of this song was only the score, not the lyrics.
"What about the lyrics?" Han Xinnan finished reading the score and asked.
Luo Zheng shook his head and said, "I'm not satisfied with the lyrics I wanted." So if you decide on this song, you also need to ask a dedicated lyricist to write it. ”
"Okay." Han Xinnan nodded, read the score again, and said, "It feels good." Then she handed the score to the person in charge of animation music, and said, "Come and see." ”
The man read the score and said, "It is really good by feeling." But how it is, someone has to sing to see it. He asked Luo Zheng, "Luo Zheng, do you have any theme in the lyrics of this song?" Who else is going to sing the right one? You suggest it. ”
Luo Zheng said: "I put the theme in the name, which is the action plan of the cruel angels." As for the singers, I think Anan is quite suitable. ”
Anan was a singer that SIA Studio was going to cooperate with before, but because it didn't conform to the style of "Heyjude", Luo Zheng passed, but it was really good for her to sing "Cruel Angel's Code of Action". So Luo Zheng proposed.
"Yes, you can." The person in charge of music nodded and said, "But we are short of time and have a heavy task, and now we are looking for lyrics to record the song from the beginning, and we can't catch up with the schedule." In this way, the first half of our animation will be as planned as it is now. Then hurry up and do a good job of this song, and then add an ending song, put it in the second half, Han Supervisor, Luo Zheng, what do you think? ”
