The song that Lin Xi and Wu Lecheng collaborated on, Cui Zhengyuan knows, that is, the classic song of the same name from the "Infernal Affairs" movie.

With the chorus of Andy Lau and Tony Leung, it has become an eternal classic in the history of film.

Although Cui Zhengyuan pretended to be reluctant, he was actually very happy in his heart. Because of Lin Xi's discernment, he gave himself another opportunity to make a name for himself.

So far, he has participated in and produced two Chinese songs.

If "Eyebrow Dance" is an appetizing dessert before a meal, then "Infernal Affairs" is definitely a gorgeous meal.

It's definitely a good thing that your name can appear in the producer column of the song.

So early the next morning, Cui Zhengyuan rushed to the music studio in Wu Lok Cheng in Kowloon.

The studio of an independent musician is never comparable to that of a large company like A.P. Both the area and the facilities are a little old.

"Okay, big star, don't watch it. Hurry up, let's hurry up and study the soundtrack. Don't you see that both of us are running out of hair? Lin Xi was dizzy by Cui Zhengyuan's figure walking around, and said busily.

Seeing the studio of a Hong Kong musician for the first time, Cui Zhengyuan was of course curious. After looking inside and out, I found that it was no different from the music studios in mainland China and South Korea, so I lost my interest.

Sitting next to the two of them, the old god said on the ground, "Show me where you have come." ”

If you have a divine comedy in your heart, you naturally don't panic.

At this time, Cui Zhengyuan was very calm, quite like a generation of grandmasters. Make people ...... I can't bear to look at it directly, anyway, Lin Xi said that if he can beat it, he will definitely smoke it.

Just sit down. I have to cross Erlang's legs. Forget about Erlang's legs, it's still bumpy and upside down, it's really a gangster.

Since you can't beat it, let's get down to business.

Lin Xi pushed the manuscript over and said angrily: "You can read it yourself and give some opinions." ”

After making trouble, Cui Zhengyuan still knew that the business was important, so he took the manuscript and read it carefully.

The stave above is intermittent, and the lyrics come and go. However, the prototype can still be seen to have the charm of the full version of "Infernal Affairs".

I believe that it only takes a little more time. Even without him, Lin Xi and Wu Lecheng would have made it.

In other words, Cui Zhengyuan rushed to a good time. Later, this classic will have nothing to do with him.

From this point of view, Lin Xi and Wu Lecheng are living Lei Feng. Helping others is still active, and you can't find such a haode person anywhere.

Out of gratitude to Dade, Cui Zhengyuan picked up the pen and danced on the manuscript.

Seeing that Cui Zhengyuan didn't say a word, he hurriedly browsed it and wrote directly. Lin Xi and Wu Lecheng were shocked. Get busy and see if this international singer is really that talented.

Both of them are big names in the field of pop music, and they both have extraordinary strength.

No matter how fast Cui Zhengyuan writes, it can't be faster than their eyes. Follow Choi Jung-won's handwriting. Soon the tune was hummed out of their mouths.

Wu Lecheng is relatively wooden and not good at words. The character is also straightforward, and what to say. "It's not bad, weishenme, I didn't expect to change it like this?"

Lin Xi is an absolute genius when it comes to lyrics. In terms of composing music, it is far from perfect. I read the whole score, and I just think it's good, as for what's good. He couldn't taste it yet.

After Cui Zhengyuan finished the score, he couldn't wait to ask, "Are there any lyrics?" ”

After Cui Zhengyuan's hand modification, the current score is exactly the same as the original song of "Infernal Affairs". As long as it is accompanied by lyrics, it is the original movie song.

It's been a long time, and the lyrics, in fact, Cui Zhengyuan can't remember clearly.

This is different from the tune, professional musicians, as long as they have an impression, according to the tune before and after, they can almost deduce the original style of the tune.

But the lyrics are not good, because the Chinese language is broad and profound, and it is easy to be replaced by other words, so Cui Zhengyuan is a little cautious.

Not only that, but when he wrote and drew on the manuscript, he also hummed out the lyrics that came to mind. Of course, his Cantonese level is barely average, so he sings the lyrics in the Chinese version.

Lin Xi and Wu Lecheng's Chinese level is okay, at least the usual reading and writing is no problem, so that they can't understand Cui Zhengyuan's voice.

Otherwise, it would be funny, two authentic Chinese, no better than a Korean, better than the wall to count.

When Cui Zhengyuan was humming, Lin Xi interrupted: "Change it here, it is better to pursue each other's footsteps in disappointment, it is better to replace it with occasional satisfaction." ”

Following Lin Xi's modification, Cui Zhengyuan snorted on his lips again. I found out that this was the original word, and I couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the great lyricist.

Sure enough, he is the original author, and he was born to fit this song.

Later, Lin Xi put forward a few suggestions, which were basically part of Cui Zhengyuan who couldn't remember the original words and made up temporarily. It seems that his senses are really keen, and he can grasp the point at once.

While the two were studying the lyrics, Wu Lecheng focused on the tune. "Lance, here, in the place of the third section and four bars, the key is too high, it is better to lower it."

Cui Zhengyuan thought about it carefully, and the song "Infernal Affairs" was in a depressive atmosphere throughout the song.

The short paragraph he composed did not match this artistic conception at all, and it seemed that he was struggling with all his might.

Following Wu Lecheng's instructions, Cui Zhengyuan modified that part, and it looked more coherent.

Originally, when Wu Lecheng pointed it out, he was still a little apprehensive.

After all, he is not Lin Xi, and he and Cui Zhengyuan have known each other for a long time. Such a big-name international musician, if he finds fault in other people's works at will, if he is not good-tempered, he may go crazy on the spot.

I didn't expect this Korean guy to be really easy-going, and as long as it's right, he can accept it modestly.

This makes Wu Lecheng have a lot of expectations for the next cooperation. is also not so disgusted by the sudden insertion of a collaborator between him and Lin Xi.

With this cognitive foundation, the cooperation between the three gradually became harmonious. Let go of the defense, everyone speaks freely.

Among the top musicians, when the enthusiasm reaches a certain height, it is easy to stir up the spark of creation.

Cui Zhengyuan originally had a complete concept in his heart, and he took it out and shared it without hiding at this time. got Cui Zhengyuan's idea, and through the hands of Lin Xi and Wu Lecheng, he synthesized the opinions of the three people.

Three hours later, the DEMO of "Infernal Affairs" was finally released.

Using the player to play it in its entirety, the three of them couldn't help but celebrate each other.

"Wow, Zhengyuan, I knew you were so powerful, I contacted you three months ago." Lin Xi picked up a glass of red wine and said smugly.

"That's it, Lance, you don't know, Brother Lynn and I have been pondering for three months and revising it countless times. Every time he gave it to director Liu Weiqiang, he was shot. I believe that this time there will be absolutely no problem, if he is not satisfied, I will eat the manuscript paper. It seems that Wu Lecheng has gathered a lot of grievances and vomited bitterness vigorously.

Liu Weiqiang seems to be gentle, but his attitude towards work is very strict. Even Andy Lau said to Cui Zhengyuan in private that he couldn't stand it.

Even the model worker is bitter, you can imagine how perverted this director is.

Lin Xi remembered something again and tried to ask: "Zhengyuan, or you can sing the Chinese version of this song." I feel that your Chinese level is much better than Hua Tsai and Wei Tsai. ”

Cui Zhengyuan rubbed his somewhat sore shoulders and moved slowly. "How can I have time, I have to go home on the evening flight. Let's let Brother Hua and Mr. Tony Leung sing. There are movies to set off, and it can always be a big deal. ”

Think about it, if nothing else, just because Andy Lau and Tony Leung have collaborated again on this topic after many years, it can make the song attract enough attention. With one more Cui Zhengyuan, although it can be the icing on the cake, it cannot achieve the earth-shaking effect.

If the benefits cannot be maximized, then there is no need to take it out. I believe that Cui Zhengyuan also has this idea, so he rejected his proposal.

Next, Lin Xi and Wu Lecheng began to study the lyrics in Cantonese. In this regard, since Cui Zhengyuan is not very proficient, he can only be used as a reference, not led by him.

Fortunately, the song is the same, with its lyrics, it is very fast.

The three of them discussed for an afternoon, and the basic prototype was there. It is estimated that they will have about two or three days to complete the work and deliver the music to Liu Weiqiang for post-production.

When he was about to say goodbye, Lin Xi remembered something and hurriedly said to Cui Zhengyuan: "That's right, Zhengyuan." Director Liu Weiqiang asked me to tell you that after the movie is finished and edited, please come over again. There's a shot in it that needs to be soundtracked. He wants to leave it to you to finish. ”

"Really! I'm a producer, not a soundtrack. This one will really save costs. No, I will definitely ask him for a salary when the time comes. "Cui Zhengyuan is angry.

For his resentment, Lin Xi and Wu Lecheng also understood.

Originally, Cui Zhengyuan was the investor and producer of "Infernal Affairs". On a whim, I wanted to make a cameo in the film, and I had the addiction of making movies. As a result, Liu Weiqiang seized the opportunity, and he got it to create the theme song. Even the soundtrack was thrown over, and if it was a Buddha, it would be mad.

However, depressed to depressed, Cui Zhengyuan couldn't help but agree.

Liu Weiqiang's temper is not much better, if he dares to disobey, maybe the big director will pick on him.

Lin Xi also understands Cui Zhengyuan's helplessness, hahadaxiao said: "Among the directors in Hong Kong, Tsui Hark is the most bizarre one, Xu Anhua is the one who wants to say that the feelings are delicate, and Wang Jing is the first to say comedy." However, if you want to say that you can catch the strong man the most, no one can compare to Liu Weiqiang. When filming "Crazy Boy" back then, how many people in it were forcibly brought by him. ”

After listening to Lin Xi's words, Cui Zhengyuan realized that he was not wronged.

It turns out that there are so many sympathetic existences, and the psychological balance is much more instantaneous. (To be continued......)
