Chapter 812: English Song? (1)
"Menjie, it's your turn soon, are you ready?"
On a new day, in the crew of the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui", Yin Li was a little worried, and said to Menjie.
And Menjie is still very plain and light-hearted, but in Menjie's heart, he also understands what the idea of Yin Force is like.
Next, in the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui", Menjie needs to sing an English song.
This English song is very simple, but it is also an English song.
It is true that everyone believes that Menjie has extraordinary talent when singing Chinese songs, and even when composing Chinese songs, and even all songs, as long as they are related to the melody, everyone believes that Menjie can play easily.
But......
English, but no one is optimistic about Menjie!
After all, the news media have reported on Menjie's background more than once.
A very poor family, even before finishing school, Menjie dropped out of school to work, although this process is very inspirational, and many people do not look down on Menjie because of this, but worship Menjie more, but I have to say, Menjie's English, I'm afraid it won't be very good, right?
Otherwise, why is Menjie so popular, as of now, Menjie has not sung English songs on any occasion to show off his language talent?
It is precisely because of this that Yin Li is very worried, worried that when Menjie sings English songs in the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui", he will expose Menjie's poor English skills.
In this case, I am afraid that the impact on Menjie will be huge!
And in fact. In the past few days, Yin Li has also been running for Menjie for a long time because of this problem.
Yin Li has always wanted to find a singer with a voice similar to Menjie to sing English songs instead of Menjie.
But......
In terms of sound, there are indeed people whose own voices are more similar to Menjie, or through imitation, they can imitate Menjie's voice. But it feels like it's a huge difference!
After all, not everyone has the voice full of sweet feelings that Menjie is famous for, and Menjie's singing skills are now. It seems that it has also reached the level of B+.
A singer who can reach such a level of singing skills, who is willing to be willing. What about being a behind-the-scenes worker?!
Until. Yin Li only knew how recognizable Menjie's voice was, and how huge the number of people who knew Menjie's voice was, it was not realistic to find dubbing at all.
In the end, Yin Li can only put all expectations on Menjie's body. I hope that Menjie can use the time of the past few days to familiarize himself with this English song as much as possible.
Anyway, the song itself is not very difficult, and Yin Li deliberately put such a scene in the back for filming. In the past few days, I have given it to Menjie, even if the learning ability is poor, Menjie should be able to perform almost well, right?
Yin Li doesn't want to ruin Menjie's music path because of a movie, if so, it is better to directly modify this plot slightly, from the original English song to a Chinese song!
No matter what, you can't ruin Menjie!
"Director Yin, don't worry!"
However, although Yin Li was worried, Menjie did not have even the slightest worry about it, and chuckled, but in turn, comforted Yin Li.
"Well, come on!"
Nodding slightly, Yin Li didn't say anything, looking at such a sensible Menjie, Yin Li couldn't help but secretly strengthen his determination.
If Menjie can sing the following English songs well, that's fine, but if he can't sing well......
Even if the screenwriter is dissatisfied, he has to take action, and he must change this English song sung by Menjie into a Chinese song!
I have to say that compared to those who treat their friends and don't care much at all, Yin Li is doing a very good job, although the relationship with Menjie is just a 'friendly' level, but he has also begun to think about Menjie.
If you know what the Yin Power of the Dao is thinking in your heart, I'm afraid Menjie will also be very moved, right?!
"In the next scene, all units should pay attention...... 3、2、1、action! ”
After a while, the crew had already set up the scene, and all the actors and crew were already in place.
Of course, in fact, in the first half of this scene, there are only three actors, Men Jie, Xu Ruoxuan's younger brother in the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui", and a white cat lying on top of the cabinet.
In order to fully reflect the solidity of Xu Ruoxuan's family, put a white cat that looks quite high-grade, but it is not bad, at least it does reflect this feeling, and this white cat can be regarded as having undergone a certain amount of training, as long as it does not provoke it, it will not move and disturb the normal filming work of the crew.
For Menjie, there is bright sunlight, a piano, and a bookshelf next to him, which is similar to the scholarly environment of decades ago, but it also has a certain help for him to sing songs.
Immediately afterwards, after hearing an order from the director Yin Li not far away, Menjie was also ready to start filming at any time.
With the sound of 'Aikesh', the entire crew couldn't help but reverberate, a crisp piano sound, closed his eyes slightly, and Menjie instantly entered the state.
has both the state of filming in the crew and the state of recording songs.
I have to say that opening the two identities of 'actor' and 'singer' at the same time is really a small challenge for Menjie, and it is the first time I have encountered such a scene!
Onedaywhenwewereyoung,
onewonderfulmorninginMay,
youtoldmeyouloveme,
whenwewereyoungoneday.
Sweetsongsofspringweresung,
andmusicwasneversogay,
youtoldmeyouloveme,
…………
The next moment, just as the surrounding accompaniment sound came out, Menjie himself quickly entered the state, and in the next second of the appearance of a note, Menjie's singing voice also instantly emerged from his mouth.
The song is called "Onedaywhenwereyoung". It is an episode in the feature film "The Great Waltz" shot in the United States in the thirties, and is a life story film that depicts the "king of waltz".
The whole song can be said to be very beautiful, sweet, and full of sunny feelings.
There is no heart-rending love, no vows, just a faint warmth and sweetness.
It's really a coincidence that this song happens to be the most suitable genre for Menjie to sing!
Of course, this is not a song that the crew deliberately chose for Menjie, long before Menjie was selected to act in this movie. There is already such a setting.
Because in the movie, the roles played by Menjie and Xu Ruoxuan are in such a situation at this moment.
I live a carefree life every day, and my life is full of warmth and sweetness.
The two were able to see each other every day. Able to play and study without worries, although there is a huge difference between poverty and abundance. But there was no trouble with that. It's also bland.
And what is to be expressed at this time is a plain, simple warmth and sweetness.
Therefore, the screenwriter of the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui" finally chose this song as the song that Menjie needs to sing, and in the original movie "The Ballad of Yunshui", Chen Kun sang. It's the same song.
But the biggest difference is ......
The song "When We Were Young (Onedaywhenwereyoung)" sung by Menjie in the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui" is better than Chen Kun in terms of level, but I don't know how much better than Chen Kun.
After all, Menjie is an actor and an excellent singer at the same time!
Originally. Menjie thought that he would be more suitable than Chen Kun to star in the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui", and now there is another factor of singing songs, and Menjie even thinks that the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui" will go to the next level at the box office because of his joining!
Originally, every movie that Menjie participated in, although Menjie performed very well in the filming process, the final box office was basically not much different from the original version, mainly because......
Menjie himself is not as good as the original actor!
When filming the TV series "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" and the movie "Kung Fu", Menjie was just a newcomer, and basically did not have even the slightest influence on the final results of the TV series and movies.
And after that, whether it was the original actor Wu Yanzu who was replaced in the movie "Jingwu Family", or Liang Jiahui in the movie "Myth", or Ge You, who was replaced by Menjie in the movie "Night Banquet", in terms of popularity and acting skills, he was stronger than himself at that time.
Their popularity is much higher than that of Menjie, even if Menjie's own image and temperament are more in line with the characters in the movie, the final result is that Menjie did not have too much effect on the final result of the movie.
And now, it's not!
In terms of acting skills, he is slightly better than Chen Kun in terms of 'advanced temperament and ability application' that Chen Kun has not mastered, and at the same time, because of his achievements in music, he has gathered countless fans, and he has surpassed Chen Kun a lot in this regard.
And the relationship between himself and Li Bingbin is better, and when filming the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui", he will have more tacit understanding, but it can be regarded as an advantage.
Also, I am very familiar with every plot in the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui", and in the process of filming, I can complete all of them at the fastest speed, and the filming of my own scenes is also stronger than Chen Kun. (To be continued......)
