Chapter 39: Film Music
Huo Que is not worried that there will be paparazzi to photograph him, because his fame is not enough to arouse the interest of the audience. What's more, he is still looking forward to this kind of thing happening, you must know that if a movie wants people to go into the theater to watch it, one thing is crucial, and that is curiosity or anticipation.
Therefore, many movies have spent a lot of effort to let the audience know that the film is being filmed when it starts, and the big-scale films rely on big stars and big-name directors to attract the audience, and the small-investment movies are trying their best to hype up in order to achieve their goals. Otherwise, it was originally a revolutionary movie and TV series, why did you deliberately shoot a few nude scenes?
Of course, it doesn't mean that a movie can't be popular without relying on gimmicks and hype. It's like "Charlotte's Troubles", adapted from the stage play of the same name by Happy Twist, don't ask me who Happy Twist is? I didn't know before this movie appeared, and don't ask me who the director was? I'd never heard of their names before. Don't say I'm lonely, in this information age, there are really not many people who pay attention to stage plays.
There are also the heroes and heroines of this movie, Shen Teng and Ma Li, although they have been to the Spring Festival Gala, there are still very few people who know their names, and even if they know that they have an impression, they feel that they are sketch actors.
However, after the release of "Charlotte's Troubles", it relied on a good reputation to get nearly 1.5 billion box office in the mainland.
What does this movie rely on to win?
Of course, it is the quality of the film, and it may also be the novelty of the film, but there are absolutely no gimmicks and hype, even if the hype relies on the circle of friends or forums in the later stage, it is also based on the quality of the film.
Huo Que will not wait for "Home Alone" to win at the box office with a good reputation, but it is still early, and he has not planned how to promote this movie.
Huo Que invited Josie to eat Chinese food, Josie often said that Western food culture has basically not improved since the primitive, and only Chinese food is the pinnacle of food culture. Eating Western food is to absorb nutrients, and only eating Chinese food is the real enjoyment, so over the years, as long as they eat together, they will definitely eat Chinese food.
After eating and shopping for a while, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening, Qiao Qian still had a play the next day, and Huo Que still had a lot of work the next day, so the two reluctantly parted.
Huo Que took a taxi back directly, and now he lives in the dilapidated basement where he lived before, but rents a house in Santa Monica, which is definitely expensive, but now Huo Que can still afford it, after all, he needs a suitable working environment.
I took a good shower, called Josie to ask if she was home, and went to sleep.
…………
The next day, Huo Que came to the company very early, and the employees who stayed in the company during this time would give him the most sincere and polite smile when they saw him, because yesterday those employees who came back from Illinois returned to the company, and the most talked about was their young boss, Huo Que.
When he came to Alex's office, he was smoking a cigar while the old god was there, Huo Que seemed to be used to the strong smell of cigars in his office, and he found a place to sit without even frowning.
"Boss, I've basically done what you ordered, don't worry that there won't be anything like a photographer or a sound engineer this time." Alex's relationship with Huo Que is very complicated, both superior and subordinate, sympathetic to each other, and a friend relationship established unconsciously. So Alex is very casual when facing Huo Que.
"Have you ever dubbed a movie before?" Huo Que moved the chair to the window, and the two looked out of the window together.
"Of course." Alex took a puff of his cigarette: "It's a bit expensive though." ”
"As long as it satisfies me, it's not too expensive." Huo Que said frankly. This time, Huo Que asked Alex to find the soundtrack of the movie.
Film music (Filmscore) is an important part of the film, it is the interpretation of the movie, a good film music, plays a vital role in the whole film. Usually a movie will be complemented by multiple pieces of music to better set off the content of the film, such as the earth version of "Home Alone" has nineteen original music, and the two Oscar nominations are related to film music, Best Film Score and Best Original Song.
Film is the art of music and painting, and the two organs of the eyes and ears receive information at the first time. One of the main reasons why people sit in movie theaters and watch movies is because they want to hear sound stimuli. The development of film from silent to sound is precisely what people want from motion and sound, and they hope that there will be forms of expression other than photography and art. In the Hollywood blockbusters of Huo Que's previous life, from the beginning to the end, a lot of music enriched the continuous development of the plot, and even when the movie appeared in a certain tone, music could play an enhanced role.
Secondly, movies have a variety of rhythm functions, such as subjective rhythm, objective rhythm, director's psychological rhythm and audience's psychological rhythm, etc. Only music is the form that is very consistent with the rhythm of film, and other art forms are slightly worse. Music can be expressed through different musical rhythms and musical languages, catering to different styles and scenes of the story. In a way, the role of music in cinema cannot be replaced by any form.
Mr. Wang Liguang, president of the China Conservatory of Music, once made a real statement to his graduate students, showing them "Pirates of the Caribbean" at the same time, and turning off all the sound channels of the international channel, as a result, within 20 minutes, some people could not watch it.
Whenever we enjoy a movie, in addition to the beautiful pictures, the wonderful storyline will leave a deep impression on us, it is the music. A good film often has one or more pieces of beautiful music. Perhaps it is because of this music that some films have been preserved by history. Years later, every time that familiar melody sounds, our thoughts take us back to that particular image. Probably that's the music in the movie.
The use of music in movies didn't start out, but since the music was integrated into movies, movies have changed their perspective. In general, it plays an indispensable role in strengthening the feelings of the film, highlighting the drama of the plot, and rendering the atmosphere.
First of all, for the film itself, the integration of music has significantly improved the comprehensive artistic level of the film. The original sound film was just a simple dialogue between the characters and sounds, and the impression left on the audience was extremely monotonous and boring, and it seemed to be only a two-dimensional effect. And when music penetrates into the film, a comprehensive stage that integrates literature, art and other artistic styles, the three-dimensional effect is immediately apparent.
For the audience, music is one of the highlights of their enjoyment of the film. Comparatively, a beautiful melody is easier for the audience to remember a film. The heroism and democracy of Hong Kong in the 90s film "Wong Fei Hung" in the "Men should be self-reliant", the rhythm is fast, the variations are fast, the musical instruments are diverse, the kind of arrogance and laughter are thousands of waves, the blood is hotter than the red sun, the courage is iron and bones are like King Kong, the mind is thousands of miles long, the heroic spirit of vowing to strive for self-improvement and be a good man is vividly and vividly sung by sonorous and powerful singing, and has become a popular classic song today.
The theme song of the movie is an important element of the movie, especially the seamless and beautiful theme song that matches the storyline, which can not only play a role in narrative lyricism, but also resonate with the audience and leave an indelible impression. Sometimes, movies may be forgotten, but a popular theme song can be timeless and lasting. Interactive features of Cinema & Romance.
Therefore, music accounts for a very large proportion of a movie, and the big one cannot be ignored in the slightest. Just like when many people hear "MyHeartWillGoOn", the first thing that comes to mind must be the picture of the hero and heroine stretching out their hands and flying on the bow of the ship in "Titanic", which is the movie music that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"When can I meet him?" Huo Que asked.
"Why don't we have dinner together in the evening?" Alex ty, smoke
"Okay." Huo Que paused slightly and said, "Do you know, I also studied piano. ”
This is true, Huo Que in this life began to learn piano at the age of three, and after going to elementary school, he also signed up for interest classes.
"I didn't understand what you meant." Alex flicked off the cigarette ash, looked at Huo Que's smiling face, and suddenly felt that the kid in front of him made him a little unpredictable.
"I think one day my movies will have music that I compose." Huo Que seemed to be joking, but seemed to be serious. This is actually his idea, and there are countless classic movie music or soundtracks in countless movies.
Movie soundtracks can only be appreciated, after all, many of them are symphonies, and it is very troublesome to make them, but movie songs are much simpler, as a person with a rich musical score, you can compose the music after listening to it once or twice.
The search engine in Huo Que's mind can't search for pop music, but movie music is with movies, and of course he can "plagiarize" these music.
Of course, there is a reason for this, if one day he shoots "Titanic", he is not at ease about who will make the theme song, because the song "MyHeartWillGoOn" is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it may be that Huo Que is preconceived, but since there is such good music here, why not let this movie be shared by people from another world?
"Oh my God." Alex looked at Huo Que like a monster, and only shook his head and sighed after a long time: "Are all the young people like you now?" There are countless ideas all day long, and they are bold and adventurous. ”
Huo Que shrugged: "I don't know if there are many such young people, but I am one of them." ”
