"Oh, that's it!" Zhou Ying sighed, wondering if she should vaguely remind Chen Kaige, lest "Wuji" be released behind "Red Cliff" and suffer a collapse, what made her hesitate was Chen Hong's attitude, she understood Chen Hong's character, she was very strong, and she would not regress lightly and give up the prime time.

But if according to her thoughts, "Wuji" will definitely die, once "Wuji" is defeated, the impact on Kaige is immeasurable, as an old friend, she really can't bear to see Chen Kaige defeated, and since then he has been in a slump.

After thinking about it, she finally made up her mind, no matter what, she had to remind him whether he was thinking about it or not, she only needed to do what she could do well, as an old friend, she really couldn't bear to see Chen Kaige defeated, and then collapsed.

"Next, we will edit another European and American version, in this version we will reduce the secondary characters, with Cao Cao and Dongwu as the main body, focusing on the war scenes." After completing the editing task of the domestic version, he and Zhou Ying were immediately busy.

You must know that epic blockbusters have always been very marketable in Europe and the United States, and unlike Chinese people who are quite familiar with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Europeans and Americans lack understanding of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and too many characters will distract the audience's attention and not be conducive to the audience's understanding and cognition of the movie, so it will be better to make the subject as simple and clear as possible.

As for doing so, it will lose the essence of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but there is no way to do it.

In Europe and the United States and other countries, he can only strive for the war scenes to be exciting and shocking enough, so that the film is bound to have good box office results.

In this regard, he is deeply confident, take "Troy" as an example, although it suffered an unprecedented word-of-mouth failure, "Troy" still won the North American 133 million US dollars and the sixth annual and global 497 million US dollars with spectacular scenes, and after its domestic release, the box office performance was also quite good, and finally ranked seventh in the domestic box office list in 2004 with a box office of 70 million yuan.

It can be seen that the shocking scene can win the love of people all over the world.

And in order to better achieve this, as early as the filming, Lin Yuquan specially designed some cool and cold-blooded battle scenes, and put them in the European and American versions, this kind of bloody scenes are not allowed to be released in the domestic film bureau, but it is no problem in foreign countries with film classification systems.

While editing, the work on the soundtrack and the original song unfolds simultaneously.

The day after the editing was completed, Lin Yuquan flew to Shanghai to visit Tan Dun's studio, which was the second time he met Tan Dun, the first time he met in the crew.

After deciding to cooperate with Tan Dun, Tan Dun first read the movie script, and then discussed with him on the phone which scene of the film needs music, what kind of music is needed, and then came to the crew to visit the class to learn more about the work, and then went back to compose.

There wasn't much nonsense, just a simple greeting, and the two of them went to work.

In the past two months, Tan Dun had written three to four times more music than what was really needed in the movie, and now what the two of them have to do is actually to choose the music clips they want together and decide on the soundtrack.

In this process, almost all of Tan Dun was showing his composition and soundtrack during this time, constantly telling Lin Yuquan about his thoughts and ideas, while Lin Yuquan was listening carefully, putting forward his own requirements, and did not participate in the specific soundtrack.

It's not that he doesn't want to participate, it's mainly relative to editing, in terms of soundtracks, he basically can't get involved, even if the cultivator has the music of that world in his memory, but he doesn't know anything about music theory, he can't move it out.

Of course, he is also planning to take time to learn recently, after all, he will definitely need these things in his future films.

"Director Lin, what do you think of this piano piece?" Tan Dun, who was in a working state, did not smile, and looked extremely strict and serious.

At this time, what lingered in the studio was a beautiful piano sound, even if Lin Yuquan didn't know much about the piano, he had to admit that it was very beautiful.

"Yes, the melody is majestic, passionate, and suits the atmosphere of the war, are you going to put it in the movie and use it as the background music for the war scenes? It's a good fit. Lin Yuquan exclaimed.

"Director Lin's eyes are like torches, that's right, this is what I invited Lang Lang to record, and the piano will run through all the war scenes in the film." Tan Dundao.

"Lang Lang, it turned out that he recorded it." Lin Yuquan was a little surprised, this young pianist has been highly sought after in Europe and the United States in recent years, and he can be called the most high-profile pianist in China at present, and the limelight is still above Li Yundi, who is the same age as him and belongs to the same DG record company.

"I didn't expect it, since I had worked with him before, I specially asked him to record a short segment between concerts and performances, so that you can listen to it first." Speaking of this, Tan Dun also showed a smile on his face, obviously very proud of his actions.

"Great, but he doesn't have time to come back to watch the film, can he fully grasp the atmosphere of the movie?" Lin Yuquan asked.

"It should be no problem, Lang Lang's perception is very high, and the emotional processing is very good when playing, I will modify the feeling of the film later, and when all the soundtracks are completed, I will fly to Kyoto, if you are satisfied, I will record it and let Lang Lang officially record it." Tan Dun said calmly.

"Yes, you can." Lin Yuquan nodded, and then asked, "After the theme song collected before, did you find a suitable one after screening?" ”

"I was just about to tell you about this, the quality of the songs in this collection is quite outstanding, and there are two songs that I personally think are very suitable for theme songs and interludes, one is Lin Jun's masterpiece and Fang Wenshan's Chinese style song "Drunken Red Cliff", and the other is "Red Cliff" created by Zhang Shan, who has written songs for Faye Wong and others, I'll play it to you first." Tan Dun said, rummaging on the table, and quickly picked up a disc on the table and put it into the disk of the computer, and then a classical prelude sounded in the studio.

And after a short prelude, the familiar sad and magnetic voice of Lin Junjie, a young singer who became popular last year with "Jiangnan", came into his ears.

Almost at the moment when the song appeared, Lin Yuquan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he slowly closed his eyes and listened carefully.

"The fallen leaves are piled up in several layers, and I have stepped on the youth to hear, who is crying in the previous life, a fate knots a rope, I am still waiting in this life, I can only have one serious life, I have confirmed that I met the right person in my eyes, I swung my sword and turned around and the blood was like red lips, it was not the blade that hurt people in the memory of the previous dynasty, it was your reincarnated soul, I confirmed that I met the right person in my eyes, I rode my horse on the horse's hooves like tears, and the moonlight on the bluestone slab shone into this mountain city"

Listening to it, Lin Yuquan's heart suddenly shook, "I confirmed my eyes, I met the right person, I swung my sword and turned around, and the blood was like red lips, riding a horse on a march, and the sound of horses' hooves was like tears", isn't this lyrics talking about the love between Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao and the separate scenes before the Chibi War?

In his mind, he gradually sketched a slow, shallow, and layered infatuation picture, and then flashed the bits and pieces of filming on the set, which was filming, and it was the story of Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao.

On the green grassy grass, Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu chased and frolicked one after another, the breeze gently blew her skirt, Xiao Qiao's delicate face rippled with a happy smile, giggled, and looked back at Zhou Yu from time to time while running, under the warm sunshine, she was so charming and beautiful.

As soon as the picture turned, in the antique courtyard, the stream was murmuring, the flowers were blooming, Xiao Qiao flicked the guqin, and the beautiful sound of the piano suddenly sounded in the courtyard, in the sound of the piano, Zhou Yu danced with a sword in his hand, and the two were so affectionate and happy when their eyes met.

The picture turned again, it was still the same courtyard, Zhou Yu, who was dressed in armor, hugged Xiao Qiao tightly, and he lowered his head and gently sniffed the fragrance between the hairs of the beauty, his eyes were full of strong tenderness, and when he noticed the tears in the corners of the beauty's eyes, he was distressed and full of determination, and then lifted the sword and resolutely rode away.

When the song ended, Lin Yuquan found that the corners of his eyes had become moist unconsciously, perhaps because of the personal filming, he could understand the strong affection between Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao more than ordinary people, and in addition to being moved, there was also indescribable excitement in his heart, this song is too suitable for the interlude of Xiao Qiao's scene.

"How?" Tan Dun looked at him and asked.

"Very good, this "Drunken Red Cliff" should be the song you just said is suitable for interludes!" Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"Well, that's right, listen to another one." Tan Dun said as he took out the disc and put another disc in.

With a majestic prelude, a chinoiserie song reverberates in the studio.

"Male voice: The Yangtze River flows east of the Yangtze River and thousands of sails, the mountains are high and the moon is small, the fishing boats are still on the river, the ancient city wall of the green silk scarf, the vague scene of Wu Yue, the waves crash on the shore and a thousand snows, the east wind intends to Zhou Lang, the female voice: The autumn wind is bleak, the weather is cool, the grass and trees are shaken and the dew is frost, who removes the prosperity weather, and returns my old appearance"

With his eyes closed, Lin Yuquan listened quietly, this time he didn't feel much emotion, just accompanied by the sound of music, his body swayed slightly, and when the song ended, he slowly opened his eyes, shook his head and said: "The words are good, the song is good, and it is appropriate to do the theme song, but the level of the person who sings is not enough, it should be recorded by the creator himself." ”

"It's true that it's not a professional singer, it's a sample recorded by songwriter Zhang Shan and her friends, about these two songs, Director Lin, what do you think should be done?" Tan Dun replied.

""Drunk Red Cliff", Lin Junjie and Fang Wenshan completed it very well, Lin Junjie sang it well, he sang it in person, it's OK, as for Zhang Shan's "Red Cliff", although the lyrics and songs are good, but the song needs to be perfected by Mr. Tan in some places, I need to be more magnificent, and it is definitely not possible to let the creator sing, we need to find a professional singer, in this regard, is there a suitable person in Mr. Tan's heart?" Lin Yuquan was not in a hurry to answer, and pondered for a moment before speaking.

"I started to think about this when I got the song, I personally think that Han Lei and Han Hong are very suitable, Han Lei's voice is strong and powerful, and he can sing the taste of the battlefield, and Han Hong's voice is delicate but sonorous and powerful, which can show the strength of a woman in the face of war." Tan Dun calmly took out the disc and said.

Lin Yuquan thought about it carefully, Han Lei and Han Hong are both male and female singers who are popular at the moment, although he doesn't know much about the two, but he has heard a lot of their songs. From the timbre point of view, Han Lei, who sang the popular "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years" and "Walking the Quartet", has a wide range of voices, rich timbre, and is very suitable for singing atmospheric theme songs.

As for Han Hong, whether it is "Heavenly Road", "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" or her other songs, the biggest impression left by people is that the singing voice is like heaven, and high-pitched, far-reaching, and profound, Lin Yuquan has no doubt that Han Hong can reflect the atmosphere and strength of the song, but he hopes that while the atmosphere is atmospheric, the female voice will be softer and brighter.

He immediately told Tan Dun of his request, and Tan Dun also agreed with his idea after a little consideration.

But regarding the selection of female singers, the two of them were a little blind for a while, and they were distressed for a while, so they put down this problem for the time being, and then got busy.
