Chapter 344. Andy's invitation!
Next, the story of "Journey to the West" is in full swing, and for the theme of love, Zhou Xingchi played a very sadistic "shemale love" very smartly. Compared with the happy ending of his last work "The Mermaid", this play is a real tragic ending.
In fact, when arranging for this drama to end in tragedy, Zhou Xingchi encountered great resistance, and the first person to stand up against it was director Tsui Hark. Although in the process of filming, Tsui Hark does not have as much power as the producer, but Tsui Hark is not the kind of director who has been stepped on and silent, and he will take the initiative to stand up at critical moments.
Like now, in Tsui Hark's view, the Journey to the West series has always taken the comedy route, and this drama is about to make a tragedy at the end of the show, and the audience is here to spend money to buy happiness, not to buy grievances......
Zhou Xingchi's answer was very simple, "The great drama master Stanislavsky once said that tragedy can be remembered more profoundly, if you cry with your soul." ”
Tsui Hark rolled his eyes, "Now we're not talking about the soul, it's about the box office." It won't work as a tragedy. ”
From this aspect, it can be concluded that Tsui Hark's foothold is from the perspective of the interests of the film itself, and Zhou Xingchi's foothold is from the perspective of the quality of the film.
In the end, the two couldn't argue with each other, so they asked Yin Tianyou to judge.
Yin Tianyou expected such a day.
Don't look at these two guys who respect each other on the surface, respect each other, love each other, and cherish each other, but in fact, no one obeys anyone in their hearts.
However, Yin Tianyou is very clear about one thing, it is said that the Hong Kong martial arts master Jin Yong was in trouble when he wrote the finale of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Many fans asked him to write the ending of the novel in the style of the Great Perfection, that is, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu met again under the cliff. Then a lover eventually became a family member and became a Condor Hero.
And a lot of famous martial arts critics. and the "master of art" asked Jin Yong to write the ending of this book as a tragedy, and Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu have been separated from life and death since then. Humans and ghosts have different paths...... The reason is that Shakespeare's most famous work is tragedy, and the most praised tragedy in the world is also tragedy.
Tragedy can move people's hearts more deeply and leave an indelible impression on readers.
But in the end, Jin Yong didn't listen to the words of these masters, but met the reader's appetite and wrote Xiaolongnu "alive" again.
Now the ending of the play "Journey to the West" is the same as when Jin Yong wrote "The Condor Heroes".
is written as a comedy,
Or is it written as a tragedy?
For the sake of the box office, it should be written as a comedy. After all, Zhou Xingchi himself is famous for comedy; But for the sake of artistic pursuit, the best outcome is a tragic ending. It's easier to move people's hearts that way.
So after careful consideration, Yin Tianyou stood on Zhou Xingchi's side and agreed to shoot the ending as a tragedy.
In this regard, Tsui Hark was very unhappy, Yin Tianyou had to constantly comfort him, and then Tsui Hark put forward a condition, it is okay to make it a tragedy, but the music of this play must be created by you.
Why did Tsui Hark do this?
Don't forget, Yin Tianyou is not only a director. In addition to being an actor, he is also a talented singer and a musical wizard.
Now Yin Tianyou's reputation and status in the world music scene are at the forefront, and he is even more popular in Asia.
According to Tsui Hark's calculations. If Yoon is willing to compose music for this drama, then the box office of this drama will be guaranteed in the future - sometimes a song can save a drama, which is absolutely true.
Yin Tianyou didn't expect Tsui Hark to put forward such a condition. However, in order to alleviate the contradiction between him and Zhou Xingchi, he still agreed to him.
Old Monster Xu got Yin Tianyou's promise. Only then did he satisfactorily agree to Zhou Xingchi's suggestion to make a tragedy, and in order to allow Yin Tianyou to create a musical work suitable for this play. Xu Laowei also lent his collection of ancient books "Diamond Sutra" to Yin Tianyou, telling him to figure it out carefully, maybe he can understand good music.
Of course, Yin Tianyou understands very well that Buddhist music is very popular in the mainland now, and what "Great Compassion Mantra" and "Pure Heart Mantra" are sought after by many urban people.
Why do it?
The reason for this is that urban life is too stressful, and people want to be able to cleanse their minds with the help of these pure Buddhist music. It can be said that the busier and more chaotic the city life, the more market this kind of music will be.
……
In order to fulfill his promise to the great director Tsui Hark, Yin Tianyou began to immerse himself in studying "Diamond Sutra" in his spare time, and by the way, he memorized some of the inspirations he realized, but he turned back and was busy filming for a while.
Although they have long been accustomed to this efficient filming rhythm, the crew still feels a little unbearable.
Thankfully, those days were coming to an end soon. Because "Journey to the West" has been completed.
However, for Zhou Xingchi and Tsui Hark and others, although the filming is over, the real work is not over, especially the post-editing work of the film, which is the most important thing.
However, at this time, Zhou Xingchi and Tsui Hark were obviously in a state of extreme excitement, so Yin Tianyou ignored them and went to his own devices.
Yin Tianyou thought of what he promised Xu Lao Wei at this time, about the music, he had completed all the music, but he had not recorded it yet. And when it comes to the "Diamond Sutra", he seems to have more understanding recently, and he is also preparing to record it together. Soon the post-editing of this drama is coming to an end, and these things should be done before the release of the movie. Originally, this matter should not have been delayed, but because he has been too busy recently, he has not had time to complete it.
Regarding the recording, Yin Tianyou didn't want to trouble the recording staff of South Korea's JYP company this time, the distance was too far and not very convenient. At this time, Yin Tianyou had a very peculiar and interesting idea. Finding a private recording studio with no mainland equipment, he tried to use his superpowers to improve the perfection of these recording equipment when anyone was there.
After doing this, Yin Tianyou tried the audition and felt very satisfied with the effect. As for the recording, he can also use his superpowers to do it, the most important thing is to add some hypnotic power to his voice, because he knows that a lot of Buddhist music has this ability, and it sounds very "ethereal".
After thinking about it, Yin Tianyou decided to complete the recording of the music first. Those melodies were already engraved in his mind. He didn't need any sheet music. Taking out the piano, he tried to play a short piece of other music. I looked for the feeling and felt that I was in good shape. And so the recording began.
In the middle of this recording studio, Yin Tianyou seems to be in another world, and as soon as he starts playing music, he immediately leaves behind everything that affects his mood, and quickly immerses himself in his own music world. In such a relaxed mood, his music seems to be extremely smart, and it completely presents an ethereal taste that matches the movie.
Under the effect of superpowers, the sound effects of various recording instruments have also come out, although Yin Tianyou has not heard what it will be like in the end. But as you can imagine, the sound recorded in this way will definitely make people feel very shocking.
In the world of music, time is meaningless, and Yin Tianyou feels like this, he doesn't feel the passage of time, but just enjoys the joy of music. Such a simple and happy state of mind seems to have left him for a long time, and now he has finally found it again.
The aftermath lingers. Yin Tianyou was still immersed in the music just now, and under the semi-improvised playing, not only did not make the already complete piece of music out of shape, but also made the piece sound a little more aura. He really didn't have anything to dislike about himself. I think that the great director Tsui Hark still seems to really like music, and he is also quite appreciative of music, otherwise it would not have been possible to make such a good theme song when he supervised the production of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and directed "Once Upon a Time". Yoon can fully imagine what his expression would be like if he heard such a concert.
Now. After a lot of hard work, the hard work was not in vain. The promise to Xu Laowei is half completed, and Yin Tianyou himself is very happy. For the great director Tsui Hark, it is difficult for him to say what his relationship is, but one thing is clear, Yin Tianyou at least treats him as a friend, and he treats him as a good friend.
After completing the recording of the music, Yin Tianyou relaxed a little and immediately began to record the most important piece of music in the movie - Sanskrit singing "Diamond Sutra".
This scene is when Tang Seng subdued the demons, in order to draw out the mighty Tianlong, and the song sung by the cross-kneeled Fan, the song is extremely awkward, of course, Yin Tianyou himself has to complete it himself.
After the study of "Diamond Sutra" during filming, coupled with Yin Tianyou's recent thinking about life and the world, Yin Tianyou seems to have a deeper view of all issues, and relatively speaking, he also has a deeper understanding of "Diamond Sutra". Regardless of whether it is the language of the Buddhist scriptures that subdue demons and subdue demons, at least there is one point, in which, there is indeed energy. And now, Yin Tianyou is going to show his understanding of the "Diamond Sutra" according to his own understanding.
With this in mind, Yin Tianyou began to slowly recite the "Diamond Sutra". After playing the music just now, his spirit has completely entered the world of pure Buddhist culture, and reciting the Sanskrit "Diamond Sutra" at this moment, although his own understanding and ideas have been added to it, it is also pure Buddhist thoughts and concepts, and it will never make people feel that it is a foreign thought.
Yin Tianyou naturally wants to express many things, but the most important one is great compassion and universal sentient beings, this idea is the essence of Buddhism that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is rare and valuable at any time.
The long "Diamond Sutra" was recited all the way, and what Yin Tianyou wanted to express was expressed through the content of the chapters of the "Diamond Sutra" through his magical voice, although it did take a lot of time, but Yin Tianyou was still very satisfied with this result, and felt that his hard work was not in vain.
When the last chapter was also recited, Yin Tianyou finished the whole work with satisfaction. Now that he can finally give an explanation to Xu Laowei, Yin Tianyou thought like this, and his mood was relaxed.
……
Coming out of the recording studio that he had rented a lot of money, Yin Tianyou put away the recorded CD, only to find that it was already a starry night, and he was busy for a while, and it took a lot of time, although he didn't notice the passage of time at all.
Stretching his waist and feeling the beauty of the night, Yin Tianyou was just about to walk, but his mobile phone rang at this time.
Yin Tianyou took out his mobile phone and answered it, and immediately shouted in surprise: "Brother Hua? ”
It was indeed Liu Dehua who called, and his first sentence showed his intention: "God bless, be the guest of my concert!" ”
……
Yin Tianyou never thought that Liu Dehua would personally call over and invite him to be a guest at the concert. It seems that Yin Tianyou just became famous four years ago, and met Liu Dehua by chance, and then Liu Dehua invited him to be a guest, and now such an invitation appears again, which can't help but make Yin Tianyou sigh.
Originally, the rookie singer Yin Tianyou, who still needed to be praised by Liu Dehua, is now the popular king of Asia, and the myths and legends in the music world, even if he is a predecessor like Liu Dehua, he will lose his popularity in the round.
The world is so wonderful.
However, Yin Tianyou did not refuse Brother Hua's invitation, because for him, he owed Liu Dehua too much, and if he could help, he would definitely try his best to help.
In fact, the reason why Liu Dehua cheekily invited Yin Tianyou this time is because of his absolute appreciation for Yin Tianyou, and on the other hand, because his popularity is not as hot as before, and having a superstar like Yin Tianyou as a guest can receive unexpected results.
And why did Liu Dehua think of Yin Tianyou, it was completely Xu Lao blame Xu Hark behind his back.
In order to get free publicity for the drama he directed, Xu Laowei sold Yin Tianyou, and when he learned that Liu Dehua was going to hold a concert in the mainland, he called and said I recommend a guest performer to you - Yin Tianyou, he just has time now, and he has a few very good songs.
Dizzy.
When Yin Tianyou couldn't cry or laugh after learning the facts, he created the music by himself, how did Xu Laowei know? Could it be that he was blinded, but he was too accurate?
Xu Laowei was indeed blind, because he was in too haste, he didn't have time to ask Yin Tianyou, the "protagonist", for advice, so he called Liu Dehua first and asked him to leave a guest place for Yin Tianyou, so that Yin Tianyou could show his might and sing songs at Liu Dehua's 10,000-person concert - of course, the most important thing is to be able to promote his movie.
However, Tsui Hark is very confident in Yin Tianyou, and firmly believes that this kid will be able to write good songs, don't ask why, because he is Xu Lao Monster, and monsters can't be deduced by common sense.
Either way, now it's settled.
Yin Tianyou will officially join Lau Dehua's mainland concert three days later, as a special guest at the concert, and perform the theme song of "Journey to the West" at the concert, etc., it can be said that this is promoting the movie in advance. (To be continued.) )
