Chapter 176: Cowboy, Get Busy
In the following days, it was time to create Zou Jieming's album. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, this is not a difficult thing for Hua Ming, he remembers a lot of classic and interesting songs of Dong Chou.
But the problem is that Jay Chou's songs are not just a copy, what songs to use, you have to combine the positioning and characteristics of the album. Since the positioning of the album "Ouch, Not Bad" is a fusion of multiple styles, then Huaming's song selection must also focus on these aspects.
Furthermore, after choosing a song, the lyrics and songs can be copied, but the arrangement does not necessarily have to be copied. You must know that compared with the original, the arrangement itself is a re-creation process, and Hua Ming feels that the process of arranging the music is more interesting than the original song, and he enjoys this re-creation process very much.
Hua Ming also had in-depth research on the integration of multiple styles in his previous life, so he wanted to borrow Zou Jieming's new album to make some new attempts in this regard.
Speaking of which, it's a matter of choosing songs.
Since it is a fusion of multiple styles, the Chinese style must be there, and it is best to have some ancient characteristics.
In the choice of songs with Chinese style, Hua Ming began to struggle again. Among Dong Chou's songs, "Dongfeng Break" and "Blue and White Porcelain" are very typical good songs, and "Dongfeng Break" has occupied the top spot for a long time.
What about a good song that wants to dominate the charts? Or is it more ancient Chinese flavor of "Blue and White Porcelain"?
Hua Ming thought about it and felt that the main goal of Zou Jieming's album should not be to dominate the charts, but it must be distinctive, interesting and fun. Of course, whether he can dominate the list depends on Zou Jieming's own performance and influence.
So, Hua Ming typed down the three words "Blue and White Porcelain" on the computer.
Regarding the evaluation of the classic "Blue and White Porcelain", Hua Ming once saw a very good evaluation, to the effect that:
"On words and sentences, "Blue and White Porcelain" is a plain heart written by the pen end of the beautiful window, and the twists and turns of the pen are only because the heart is like a double wire net, and there are thousands of knots;"
"In terms of tune, "Blue and White Porcelain" is like a mountain spring stream flowing quietly on the stone in the breeze, clear and translucent and winding loop, with many inexhaustible meanings;"
"In terms of artistic conception, "Blue and White Porcelain" is like a hazy ink landscape in the south of the Yangtze River, and between the sprouts of water and clouds, you can vaguely see the white clothes and skirts of the Yiren;
"These three are superimposed in one place, and the song "Blue and White Porcelain" is just like its name, just like the best celadon of 'self-care and beauty', washing away the lead, simple and elegant, fresh and smooth. The guzheng is plucked, the tooth plate is crisp, the pipa is murmuring, and the Chinese style of "Blue and White Porcelain" is particularly moving. Fang Wenshan used a series of words such as "plain embryo", "lady" and "Han Li" to describe the style of blue and white porcelain, Jay Chou's singing voice is tender and simple, slightly with the rudiments of Jiangnan opera, and the wonderful lyrics are matched with retro music, constituting a masterpiece of R&B. ”
(Note: This is quoted from the Internet, the original text is Chen Bei's "From Blue and White Porcelain to Chinese Style".) The following paragraph is also from the same article. )
Hua Ming feels that this evaluation of "Blue and White Porcelain" is very accurate and in place.
Moreover, the melody of this song only uses the five tones of do, re, mi, sol, and la, which means that this is a Chinese-style song that uses the Chinese national pentatonic mode, which is in the key of House A. The pentatonic pattern is a unique national tone in China. The names of the five tones are: Gong, Zheng, Shang, Yu, and Jiao. The key with the palace tone as the main tone is called the "palace tone".
Therefore, it should be most appropriate to choose "Blue and White Porcelain" as a representative work of Chinese style and add it to Zou Jieming's album.
After "Blue and White Porcelain" was selected, there were already 6 songs on this album, and there were still 4 songs left! For this album, Hua Ming's limit is 10 songs, and it can't be more.
After thinking about it, Hua Ming wrote the words "Cowboy is Busy" again.
The song "Cowboy is Busy" may not be one of the most famous and widely circulated songs among all the songs of Dong Chou, but it is definitely a very characteristic one when it comes to style fusion.
This song is a very rare song in Dong Chou's song characterized by the retro style of American country style, which has a very western flavor and a strong Irish style, and its rhythm and style are very suitable for tap dancing.
Well, kind of interesting. Hua Ming decided to use this song to send Zou Jieming's entanglement first.
That guy Zou Jieming basically pestered Hua Ming every day, asking about the creation of the album, and annoyed Hua Ming to death.
Therefore, even if Hua Ming has selected the remaining songs now, he will not take them out at once, and occasionally take out one to send and embarrass him, which is good.
"Come on, come on, I thought of a new song, ready to focus on the rice-style country retro style, how about you come and see?"
After Hua Ming called Zou Jieming, he began to fool him with "Cowboy is Busy".
"Ouch, yes, it's about western cowboys, it's very interesting." Zou Jieming was really happy to see the hunt.
Hua Ming has figured out this guy's mind, and the music he wants is to be distinctive and fun.
"Then you go and study the rice-style country retro style, as well as its origins, Irish style music, and then discuss the arrangement with me after studying it thoroughly, and don't bother me until you study it thoroughly."
Zou Jieming walked away with the lyrics of "Cowboy is Busy", and with the temptation of music and new style, he gave up continuing to pester Hua Ming.
Haha, Zou Jieming is busy now, Hua Ming can finally relax for a while.
Hua Ming opened the script Xu Xinlei sent to him and read it.
There is already good news about the movie, Xu Xinlei's new script outline has been re-examined by the investor, and the investor is more satisfied with the new script, after all, the investor's purpose is to make money, and it is obvious that the new script will be more stable and more marketable.
It's a little regrettable that HUBA's sponsorship has encountered a bit of trouble, because of the shift in the theme, HUBA's official title sponsorship needs to be further discussed and researched before giving a final answer. As an official organization, the review speed on HUBA's side is naturally not as fast as that on the investor's side.
Xu Xinlei can't take care of so much, she has fully started the improvement of the script, and the storyboard script has also begun to work.
On Huaming's side, Xu Xinlei has always maintained close contact. Because the idea of the script was provided by Hua Ming, as soon as the draft of the script was completed, she sent it to Hua Ming for him to look at and give comments.
Moreover, Xu Xinlei also said that she was about to bring people to Changshi for inspection.
The reason why Xu Xinlei wants to come to Changshi for inspection is very simple, the scenes of this movie are mainly on the campus and basketball court, because there are many basketball game scenes to be filmed, so the college basketball league scene is a good choice.
As for the campus, the university is also a very good choice, because the campus has a long history and beautiful scenery, from the architecture to the scenery, there is a strong university atmosphere.
Therefore, Shonan Normal University, which meets the requirements of the college basketball league and campus scenic spots at the same time, was naturally included in Xu Xinlei's key inspection scope after being introduced by Hua Ming.
That Wen Qingniu is coming!
