Chapter Twenty-Nine: Drink the wine dry and fill it up, and don't get drunk and don't pay it back
I also know that it is overkill to let Po assist in editing.
In fact, having a growing artificial intelligence, no matter what you ask it to do, is a proper "cannon to fight mosquitoes".
He also thought about letting Bao learn finance, quickly accumulate wealth, and become rich in the world; R&D high-tech, see the world from the perspective of science fiction; Even researching mechanical life, building spaceships, and going to distant places to see what else is mine...... But all of these were added to the precepts when he wrote the original source code. He just wants to have a new life, and he doesn't mind giving the first half of this life to his dreams.
For a highway genre literary film like "Central Station", editing is very important, and the soundtrack is also soul-like survival.
In fact, a general film is a complex with a variety of rhythmic functions, such as subjective rhythm, objective rhythm, director's psychological rhythm and audience's psychological rhythm, etc.
But among the thousands of forms, there is only one form of music, which is very consistent with the rhythm of the movie, 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.
I happily remember watching a news in my last life, someone once made such a real yΓ n, while showing "Pirates of the Caribbean" to the audience, all the sound channels of the international channel were turned off, and within 20 minutes, some people couldn't watch it.
He studied music theory, which is one of the basic courses of the directing class. A director must know a little bit about everything. But if you haven't written a song before, even if your mind is full of moving melodies, you have to work hard to match it into the movie story.
He clearly remembers that when he was studying in the United States, he was taught by Hollywood soundtrack master John ? Here's what Williams's textbook describes about film scoring:
Through the continuous development of the musical theme, the contradictions and conflicts, and the layout of the music, to achieve the praise or criticism of the main characters in the play; Use music to strengthen the character's action and psychological activities, reveal the character's thoughts and feelings, express his spiritual outlook, and make the character's image more vivid and moving; Suggesting the progress or extension of the plot, such music sometimes precedes the visual image of the picture, such as predicting victory and hope in difficult moments, and difficult setbacks in good moments; Sometimes it appears after the visual image of the picture, extending the dramatic mood; It evokes associations of a certain time (ancient or modern), space (the human world or the outer space), and the environment (the human world or fairyland......
"Oh my."
He needed help. After thousands of choices, I finally found the Wheat Field Music Company, which was established only last year, which is a glass door. offered to rent their recording studio and hire Song Ke or Gao Xiaosong to be a "thug".
"Score a movie?" Gao Xiaosong crossed his arms and looked at it, his face full of kindness, "We have been playing music for so many years, we really haven't done this before." Song Ke made a move, with interest: "It's not." β
Gao Xiaosong is not fat now, his long hair is quite literary and artistic, and people originally followed this style, pushed his glasses and said: "But film music is also a form of music, music is all connected, the pursuit of auditory enjoyment and thought expression." If it's for the plot, I think it's still competent. I'm not afraid of your jokes, brother, I also applied for a graduate degree in the directing department, but unfortunately I was rejected, and I always wanted to have the opportunity to make my own movie. Now, years have passed, but this idea has not yet come to fruition. However, the brother is young, and he is already ahead of his dreams. β
"You're welcome, laughing people are laughing at themselves, how dare you laugh." Happy but knew that this guy would make his first movie in two years, and smiled: "There will be a day." Two brothers, why don't you test the water with my movie. β
"As long as my brother doesn't dislike it, we'll take this job."
"Wait." A business has been negotiated, but the happiness suddenly stopped, "Brothers, ugly words have to be said in front." I'm very demanding. β
Gao Xiaosong became interested and said with a smile: "How strict?" β
Happy eyes squinted, and said coldly: "The woman's thighs are so strict." β
"Hey, it stinks...... Just like you. Song Ke smiled, laughed at the top of his fingers, and made a joke.
"How can you be like me, just like you." Gao Xiaosong shook his long hair, which is called a ~~ beauty.
"Hehe, just kidding." "If there is a difference of opinion during the collaboration, I hope that the soundtrack will be based on my opinion. Little brother, I am very serious about my first movie, and if I offend the two brothers with my words, it will be absolutely unintentional. Afterwards, you can entertain, drink, and sing cards, but you are not allowed to hair at that time. β
"Yo~~" The two glanced at each other and nodded slightly, "It's quite a lot of requests." β
Gao Xiaosong nodded and said, "They are all temperamental, which is understandable." In fact, the two of us usually quarrel endlessly, and it is all for the insistence in our hearts, and we do not allow music that we don't like. β
That's it, and the rest is to work slowly and carefully, and not to rush.
Gao and Song originally thought it was just a simple soundtrack journey, but when they came out with big ingredients one after another, their eyes straightened. When you play music, sometimes it's easy to be emotional, "This song is amazing." It's a Western style, and if there are English lyrics and songs, I'm afraid it will become a classic. β
"Really."
Happy said: "The name is ComtineD'unAutre, do you have a piano, I want to use it." The style of this piece is cascading, and in my imagination, it has layers of piano, violin, accordion, drums, harmonica, ...... and so on, it can form a whimsical world of its own, when it is whispered, it is like a drizzle that ripples lightly on the surface of the lake, and when it is light, it turns into a beating water scoop, the notes are concise and short, and the main theme brings out variations again and again, promoting the development of the story, and the melody is like water rippling leisurely. β
The two of them listened attentively, and Gao Xiaosong couldn't wait, "The piano is next door, let's try it out first, and then think about how to arrange it." β
Happy and not modest, close your eyes and reminisce about the Oscar-winning soundtrack of this "Angel Amelie...... In fact, the soundtrack of the original movie of "Central Station" is not necessarily very good, and there is no doubt that the music he came up with is classic, but it also needs to be in line with his own movie. Even so, his act of directly taking out the Oscar Best Soundtrack to offset his work is extremely extravagant and presumptuous.
Ten fingers are placed on the black and white keys, and they are played with a ding-dong dong.
It's not smooth, but the elegant melody between the tunes is still excellent. As soon as the song ended, the two of them applauded softly in the room.
Song Ke said with a retrospective expression: "Like a trickle of spring water in the deep mountains, a kind of tranquility from the years flows in the sound of the piano, which makes people reverie endlessly." "The taste of this speech is all judges, no wonder I will always be a judge in the future.
Gao Xiaosong shook his hair and said with the same expression: "I feel the same way." Brother, if you don't write a song and make a record, it's really a loss for the Chinese music industry. Song Ke said: "If there is a good song, you might as well record one and try it." β
"Young people can't resist temptation, but don't encourage me." Happy smiled: "This is just an accident, if you want to really compose the music of the Eight Classics, you have to be blind." β
Gao Xiaosong did not relax and said: "There is nothing high in music. What you want is an occasional burst of inspiration, a birdsong, a wind blowing pine waves, a melody of green bamboo branches and leaves, as long as you have your own appetite, record it, and then gradually improve, it is a favorite song. You're musically inspired...... In this way, I will give you a book of stave, and if you suddenly start to compose a music, you can record it, maybe it will be another classic. β
This is a proper temptation, shaking his head happily and laughing: "I'll take the book." If I really gave up the film and went to the music industry, it would be a loss for the Chinese film industry. It's better to do the right job, it's not necessarily suitable for a movie story. β
This is really slow work and meticulous work, and a little bit of progress every day.
Quarrels also arise from time to time, and inspiration bursts out again from time to time.
Happy is self-aware of his own little bit, and most of the time he is listening to these two musical talents to express his opinions. The two of them are very careful about music, and they are happy. He is also happy to see it, the more the quarrel, the more he secretly enjoys in his heart, but it's not all for his own movies. If he really can't come up with a melody, he will coldly pull out a paragraph. Although this kind of behavior is shameless pretending, it can be perfected for his first movie, and he can't take care of it.
When he had nothing to do, he took a pencil and wrote and drew on a large five-line notebook with a thick black cover given by Gao Xiaosong, sat by the window and brewed a pot of tea, watched the leaves wither outside the window, flipped, glided, dragged, danced, and finally returned to the embrace of the earth. Before I knew it, it was late autumn, and when I looked up, several rows of black dots flew in the blue sky, and it was a flock of geese moving south. Sure enough, it was "arranged into a word for a while, and lined up for a while".
His mind was relaxed in this moment, and he loved it.
The pen moved slightly, and habitually drew these southern flying geese. After finishing the drawing, I felt that there were too many blank spaces, so I wrote down a paragraph of text and a few notes:
"The wild geese, in the sky, are lined up in pairs; The river is long, the autumn grass is yellow, and the sound of the piano on the grassland is sad. β
"The wild goose, to the south, flies over the reeds; The sky is vast, where are the geese going, and the heart is the hometown of the north. The sky is vast, where are the geese going, and the heart is the hometown of the north. β
"Hongyan, return to the north, bring my thoughts; The singing is far away, the piano trembles, and the spring is warm on the grassland. Wild geese, to the sky, how far away the sky is. β
"Drink the wine dry, pour it again, and don't get drunk tonight! Drink the wine dry, pour it again, and don't get drunk tonightβ"
The quarrel in the house had been quiet for some time, and there was a soft humming sound from behind, which was the song of "Hong Yan". Gao Xiaosong sang a few words, feeling that it was wrong, "This is an open-minded artistic conception, not the same style as my music." I can't write a tune like this. β
Song Kedao: "The words are also very good, 'Drink dry, pour it again, don't get drunk tonight, don't return', good!" The pitch is not low, is my brother finished writing, show me. β
happily handed it over, and the two of them got together to study it, how could this harmonious picture still have the feeling of blushing and arguing just now.
"Good songs, good words, thanks to me for giving you a book." Gao Xiaosong high-fived and admired, "Sitting by the window and watching a few lines of geese fly by in the sky, I think of the northern grassland...... Good mood. Dude, this song must be recorded. β
Happy old face is slightly red, even if he is as cheeky as him, he feels uncomfortable. "Ahem, let's talk about it."
Wandering, most of the month passed. By the time the soundtrack was finally finalized, the two had become outright fans of the film.
Putting it aside from beginning to end again, even having to admit that I was happy. This version of the soundtrack integrates the wholehearted efforts of two major domestic musical talents, as well as his cheating methods, and the effect is undoubtedly better.
Especially in the image and melody, the emotion is intriguing, hooking the strange confrontation at the beginning, and then to the gradual transformation of thoughts and emotions, that faint feeling, with an indescribable tone. Exude a subtle emotion that cares for the image with musical notes.
"Great!" Gao Xiaosong couldn't help but applaud again. "When it's released, don't forget to sign it."
The happy cheeks grinned to the back of their heads, "I can't forget who you are." β
Song Ke: "Xiaosong, this is a happy moment...... How do you say that? β
"When the big white floats."
"Let's go, let's drink."
"--If you don't get drunk, you won't pay it back!"
