Chapter 300: Extremely sharp
Echo, as a kind of reverberation element in the mix, if it is too big, it will look dull, sometimes, dull does not mean bad, depending on the music style, but in the current "ro11ingthedeep", the reverberation of the guitar must be clear and ethereal. $(). ()(x). ()
That renders a simple and pure love xù, that kind of love xù is light, and excessive dullness will be very heavy, this song, the love xù at the beginning is light, and then slowly accumulate, and, even if it is a chorus, the explosion of anger, it is not heavy, but release.
Lee Chung-hee didn't understand these things before, but now, although it is the improvement of the Tong guò system, he is also trying to integrate these knowledge, and then, now, he can really understand this.
Even if the lyrics and songs are someone else's, but after writing it, he has his own deepest understanding, and therefore, after listening to it, he doesn't need to compare it with the original work, he can react quickly.
"Knock, knock, knock......," the mixer adjusted, and when it was played again, everyone heard a guitar sound that was noticeably more crisp, but not monotonous because of the reverberation, and had a full-bodied guitar sound.
This is, Bao'er's clear voice is pasted, and the special charm is long, and it is easy to attract her full timbre and emotion.
Madonna turned her head to look at Lee Chung-hee again, her eyes couldn't hide her admiration and appreciation, and said, "You are really amazing,"
Boa is the same, her eyes are straight, even Scarlett Johansson, who doesn't understand, can't help but look at Lee Chung-hee, thinking to herself, "This guy is really a genius." It's just so handsome. It's a ...... fascinating. ”
The heart is rippling. I can't wait to throw myself into his arms and have a crazy love affair with him!
Except for the place at the beginning, the bass rhythm in the back did not keep up with the explosion, and the rhythm of the drum beat was slightly weaker, both of which need to have an extremely strong explosion when the explosion, so as to render extreme anger and fierce feelings, and then. There are also clips cut from Boa's multiple recordings, and a few of them are not very good.
It's not that Bao'er can't sing, but it's not very good to connect together, and it will have better emotions and be more smooth and natural if you change it.
These things seem very simple, but it is very troublesome to solve them one by one, Li Zhengxi and they were busy until more than two o'clock in the morning, this is because he already has a quasi-score, so he can get it up quickly, otherwise. For a different person, it will take at least a few days to have that effect.
Boa's lead single is finally complete. Then there's the publicity, which won't start brewing until October, then the official madness in November, and the film again in December.
There are countless people in Christmas movies, but they have to cut through the thorns in such a strong hand like the forest to be able to show the cruelty of imperial music, Lee Chung-hee and Boa, they just have to let others see.
Before the single disc was released, Boa immediately started to get busy again, and she started recording songs from her new album, this time, it was even more tiring and busy, and then the album would be released in time for February and March.
This is normal and is also the most conventional interval between the title track and album cloth, with buffering, accumulation, and then exploding.
Whether it is publicity or the next recording, although Lee Chung-hee will pay attention, he also has something of his own, that is, the filming of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", not to mention, the recording will be supervised by professional gold medal people, and Madonna will also pay attention, she is also the boss with a 10% stake.
It's almost October, and the kick-off press for "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" will be held in a low-key conference room at Empire Pictures.
The reason why it was held in a low-key manner naturally also had Lee Chung-hee's intentions, this film is mainly to build momentum for "Pirates of the Caribbean", or as a foil, next year, the Oscars will be announced, he wants to take the leading actor, and now, it is time to start public relations.
It seems that the start of the Oscars in September is a little early, but for some films, it is not for nothing that it starts in June and July, but it does not seem so obvious.
"Dr. Lee, what type of movie is "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", how does it look like a romance movie, uh, and even because it's a couple, it's a bit of a family ethics film or something, is it for the Oscars?"
"Los Angeles Times", as Lee Chung-hee's best cooperative media, although sometimes undisciplined, but definitely happy cooperation, so basically every press conference, they can get the first opportunity to ask.
The press conference is particular because in order to build momentum, more media needs to be invited, and in this way, there is a possibility of mixed fish.
Especially no matter who you are, there will be those who are hostile, or who are specifically hacking you, so the general press conference will first find someone you are familiar with, or even directly arrange the media, and then be the first to ask.
In this way, it sets the tone for the whole meeting, especially when it is caught in a scandal, many media will definitely ask, but whether it is fierce or not, it depends on the first one to ask, if the first one is very gentle, then the latter will basically understand the rules and will not attack indiscriminately.
The uncrowned king also knows the rules, not unscrupulous, of course, this is only for the majority.
Therefore, if a press conference has no special arrangements and is in trouble, it can only mean that the company's or artist's public relations team is poor, or it is inactive.
And this is not uncommon at all.
Of course, there are also shameless ones, that is, people from their own company frame their own company's artists for the sake of contracts, and it is naturally difficult for an artist to have relevant media resources, and then, after the artist is caught in some kind of scandal, he helps the other party solve it on the premise of the other party's contract renewal.
In this case, most artists will compromise, and such examples, hot and so on are very obvious, saying that you are greedy, threatening to break up, etc., anyway, do everything you can, and use public opinion to exert pressure.
Public opinion is a knife that kills people without seeing blood, especially in South Korea, many artists have collapsed and even committed suicide because of the pressure of public opinion!
Lee Chung-hee's PR team naturally won't let this happen. And Emerson's question on behalf of the Los Angeles Times is also decent.
Lee Chung-hee replied with a smile: "Romance movies may be a little bit." But it definitely has nothing to do with family ethics films. I'm still young, but I don't want to make such a heavy movie, well, how to put it, it's a spy movie, and of course it's an action movie, and then, you see it. "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", since they are a couple, then, this agent is naturally related to this, but, specifically, I can't tell you ....... ”
Lee Chung-hee's answer is enough, everyone can understand the type, and then they will also render and imagine. At this time, the gossip of the media. "Hollywood Chronicle" Amor stood up for the second and asked Scarlett Johansson, "Scarlett, your film contracts this year are all from Imperial Pictures, and it just so happens that they are all after the scandal between you and Dr. Li about the seaside villa, can you tell me?" ”
This guy is smart and very cunning in his questions, but Scarlett Johansson is not a vegetarian either, and after shrugging his shoulders indifferently, "Can I sue you, am I just the third choice for this film?" ”
Then he deliberately glanced at Lee Chung-hee, "And, if it weren't for the sudden schedule, it was advanced, I think he would have gone to find other actresses again!" ”
Lee Chung-hee touched his nose very cooperatively, and said with a smile that looked a little embarrassed: "There is no such thing, Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron are indeed because of work, but they, like Scarlett, are only one of the candidates, and they are not sure of anything."
Now, I can say that Scarlett Johansson is really one of the most suitable candidates, and I am sure that everyone will see a shining Scarlett Johansson ....... ”
When the two of them said this, it was like they were making a fuss, as if things were really like that, so that everyone couldn't do more entanglement.
Then, a reporter from USA Today asked, "What about Pirates of the Caribbean, I heard that ILM, which you have acquired, has completed some of the special effects ...... very early. ”
"It's basically done now," Lee Chung-hee nodded indifferently and said with a smile: "It should be in mid-October, everyone can see the trailer, related posters, etc., and the screening may be arranged in November, but if it is really released, it will be back in December......"
"Some people say that you chose to release on December 6 because you were afraid that the previous oo7 would die again and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", and then, after the 2o, there will be the second part of the Lord of the Rings trilogy?" Chicago Sun-Times
Lee Chung-hee smiled dumbly and said proudly: "Why don't you say that oo7 will die again and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is afraid of "Pirates of the Caribbean", why don't they release it in the Christmas file, but choose to start in 11,"
said, after a pause, I watched a reporter raise his hand and said with a smile: "I know what you want to say, first, this topic is what you asked, I don't want to provoke oo7 to die on another day and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", and, why don't I say the second part of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, because the first part of the Lord of the Rings directed by Peter Jackson was chosen on the Friday of the third week of December, and this time it was the same, but the date was different, the 18th became the 2o, I don't need to say this, What's more, they have set their schedule very early ....... ”
Sure enough, everyone laughed when they saw the reporter's speechless appearance, knowing that Lee Chung-hee had guessed what that guy wanted to ask.
The press conference went on well, and Lee Chung-hee didn't have any big news recently, so it ended quickly.
As soon as the press conference ended, there was no time to rest, after lunch, in the afternoon, the movie entered the shooting stage as soon as possible.
Located next to Beverly Hills, Baydenwood is also a gathering place for luxury homes, but it is not as famous as Beverly Hills, but it is not inferior to the luxury of Chengdù.
In one of these villas, the first act of the movie is in a tense hustle and bustle, waiting to be filmed.
"The color of the clothes should be darker," the costumer shouted at his assistant: the color should be darker, just to make people look more mature.
Then, the stylist said to his assistant: "The head should be tightened, don't make it so fluffy, and don't glue it, don't make any shapes, just tie it so simply, and occasionally wear it!" ”
Scarlett Johansson plays the role of an agent, although when she goes out to complete the mission. There will be all kinds of bewitching dresses. But more. Her outfit is very simple and smart, which is characteristic of the agents.
A movie, in addition to actors, screenwriters, directors, why should there be a variety of crew members, just to present the whole movie more realistically, the movie. It's art, it's life.
Lighting, props, costumes, photography, they are not dry, although they are not well-known, but the Oscars will set up awards for them, which represents how meaningful their work is.
Over there, Lee Chung-hee is the director. After a very simple makeup, Scarlett Johansson was still struggling. He stood next to Susan and supervised the operation of the entire crew.
He is a director, but in fact, Susan is basically doing the work, Susan doesn't feel tired at all, she was originally just an assistant director, as a woman, if she wants to be promoted from assistant director to director, the difficulty is not what ordinary people can imagine.
It's not a question of ability, but there will be innumerable, questioning eyes, and this is a problem of gender and gender, and it is a social problem.
However, Lee Chung-hee personally approached her, and after the assessment, he gave her the greatest rights, especially after the success of "Pirates of the Caribbean", this time, she was given almost all the powers to direct, so she was full of energy.
She knew that if she did a good job, then, it wouldn't be long before she would get a chance from the young boss and really have the opportunity to direct a movie.
Even, in the sequel to "Pirates of the Caribbean", because she is basically doing the preparatory things, and Lee Chung-hee doesn't seem to have the intention of interfering too much, she basically holds all the power.
"The lights are a little dimmer," as Lee Jung-hee's voice came into his ears, and Susan immediately came to her senses, watching the gaffer over there dim the lights a little and become softer.
This time it was the rear side ceiling light, which was a hard light, and the side of the room would be brighter, but the picture was faint, soft, and slightly dim.
The cinematography of the film is one of the best means to create an atmosphere, and the first shot of the film is about the problems between the Smith couple, and the love is a bit low and complicated, so the picture should be cloudy.
At the same time, because it is to meet a psychological counselor, in order to take care of the counselor's feelings, generally speaking, the counselor is afraid to tell people what is in his heart, and this fear, if it is in a brightly lit room, will be more guarded.
And the lighting is dim, making people seem to be hiding in the shadows, then there will be a sense of security, and the vigilance will be low, which is the trick of a psychological counselor, and it must be well presented in the movie.
Costumes, props, lighting, photography, etc. were all ready, and Susan personally coordinated it, and the film officially began to be filmed.
"We don't really have to come here," said John Smith, played by Lee Chung-hee.
"Five years ago, Bogda, in Mexico, we met for the first time," he continued, at which point Mrs. Smith, played by Scarlett Johansson, interjected, "Six years......." ”
"Well, five or six years ago," John Smith replied, with a spread of his hands.
The first act is about the Smiths going to see a psychiatrist, and then the story slowly unfolds, starting with the scene they had six years ago.
However, the film was not shot in this order, and the film would shoot all the parts in Los Angeles before going back to Mexico.
Of course, I didn't really go to Mexico, but in Nevada, next to Los Angeles, it would be nice to find a place to shoot, and there, I also had to film the first time that the Smiths met on a mission to snipe the nicknamed "Tank".
In addition to the handsome men and beautiful women, the other reason for the success of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is the rhythm, the plot is fast-paced and smooth, which will bring the best experience to the moviegoers.
It's not an art film, it doesn't need to be so detailed, and if you're too obscure, too procrastinating, it's going to die.
From seeing a psychiatrist, to their meeting six years ago, to their seemingly peaceful family life six years later, and then, what they are really doing under a peaceful life.
They are killers, completing one mission after another, and in the original drama, Brad Pitt has almost no expression in terms of action and coolness, and Lee Chung-hee naturally wants to add his own element to this.
Killing people is more artistic, and the action should be more handsome and cooler. Such. It's going to be even more exciting. Naturally, the quality of the movie will be better, because this is a commercial film in itself, and these are the selling points.
If you have to add the ultimate coolness to an art film, it will be a bit inconsistent, and the so-called painting is redundant.
"You don't have to use guns here." The scene where Roach was filmed was in the manager's room of a bar.
The room was very messy, even the floor was covered with a layer of paint that looked dirty, and then the sand, the doors, the chairs, and the tables were all borrowed props from Paramount, the kind of shabby or old things that are often seen in countless movies.
Lee Chung-hee is sitting on a chair, looking at the door, in the film. Roach killed him when he entered the door, at that time. He was sitting in a chair.
"If you want to show off, you naturally have to move, plus a knife, but the knife should be handled carefully, not too much," said producer Bruckheimer: "If the bloody footage is too eye-catching, those censors will definitely give us an R, grade." ”
Lee Chung-hee smiled, of course he understands that Stallone's "First Blood" series, or all of this guy's action movies, was bloody, and his knife slashing people was always bloody, and the scene was extremely violent, and because of this, almost all of this guy's movies were R*-rated.
And this guy didn't care at all, because it was his logo, and he was very proud of it.
Lee Chung-hee and they naturally can't do that, but they don't have the luxury of getting a PG rating, but PG-13 is a must, because, a lower rating represents more audiences, and naturally represents more money and more extensive influence and popularity.
"Just go with a knife over your neck and use the special effects to make it look like you're bleeding," Susan said, "and then put your hand around your neck and the blood comes out of your hand, which isn't bloody, but it's powerful enough to ......." ”
Lee Chung-hee smiled, they are all the easiest way, and they are also the most ordinary and popular in Hollywood, once the knife is inserted into the neck, that will be too vicious and may not be good for the rating.
Lee Chung-hee actually thought about using a toothpick or something, it would look cool like that, but, with his current popularity and influence, it is difficult for people to accept if he wants to make new tricks casually, after all, this is a very cinematic Hollywood movie, a killer with special means, but it is not a supernatural film like a person.
For Hollywood audiences, toothpick killing is equivalent to an ability, which is something more difficult to accept and needs to be accumulated slowly.
"What do you think of the boomerang?"
Lee Chung-hee asked casually, and then explained the principle, Susan and Bruckheimer both laughed and shook their heads, and the latter also said: "It's like a bullet turning, everyone will think it's too much, the main thing is that the theme of our movie is not this,"
Lee Chung-hee nodded suddenly, he was just thinking about being handsome, cool, or something like that, but he ignored the theme of the movie.
The tone of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is a couple, two killers, but it is a wonderful combination of husband and wife, of course they need to be cool and handsome, but that is just an auxiliary means to make the movie more good-looking, if professionally speaking, it is more abundant, wonderful embellishment, if there is a special skill, it is the main skill, just like Iron Man, the main thing is steel, people, the main thing is human skills.
But "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" focuses on the daily life of the wonderful combination of murderous couples, and the rich plot is the best meal, which will bring a very good experience to the audience.
The special skill is like adding to the snake, so soon, after Lee Chung-hee woke up, he understood and nodded with a smile.
After that, he didn't change much, but just made his movements more dazzling, which his skills could easily do, and it was not against the harmony.
The filming of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" went very smoothly, after all, there is the original version, and Lee Chung-hee can completely control it, even if there are some minor problems, they can be easily solved.
Soon, the time came to the end of October, his Gregorian birthday arrived, originally, according to the habits of the Chinese, the Gregorian birthday is not valued, and the birthday of the Chinese is the lunar birthday.
However, this time, for the promotion of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and for the PR of the Oscars, Lee Chung-hee personally invited a very large number of people to his birthday party.
Of course, beauty is also an indispensable ....... (To be continued!)
