Chapter 99: Soundtrack
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and the director slapped his thigh: "Use!" Not only do you have to use it, you have to sing it to me! ”
[Congratulations to the host for reaching the second stage of the "Attack on Musical Talent" task, obtaining a routine value of 500 points, and then receiving the approval of the three directors to reward the [Musical Talent] skill.] 】
[Music Talent]: Your musical talent has been recognized by the industry, your understanding of music is more comfortable, the music you create is very distinctive and in line with the plot, and even fans know that you are a musical talent.
Xu Jin smiled slightly, it's done!
Just yesterday, after he sang the song "Like" in its entirety, he received a system task.
The soundtrack of [Mission: Attack on Musical Talent] is recognized by five directors and rewards [Children of Music] skills.
For this skill, Xu Jin is bound to win!
If nothing else, just for the point of "understanding music more easily", his musical talent is all transformed by the system, Xu Jin is looking forward to what changes this skill will give him.
After all, you don't have a lot of skills.
The director said: "When you are free, you can record this song together." ”
Xu Jin came back to his senses: "Yes, but this one has not been arranged yet, and arrangement is not my field of expertise." ”
Composition and arrangement are different division of labor, composition is to dominate the overall situation, determine whether the piece is pop music or ancient songs, set the tone of the main theme, the composer is a creator, but also the core.
The arrangement is based on the known main theme and the style of the work that the creator wants to express, and writes accompaniment harmonies specifically for the song, such as adding drums, guitars, violins, vocal chorus, etc.
The arrangement has a great impact on the expressiveness of the song, because the playing of the instrument can complement and enrich the melody sung by the singer. Only arranges music but does not compose music, and in some places this kind of person is a "MIDI engineer".
Judging from the current trend in the pop music scene, the proportion of arranging is slightly heavier, and a good arrangement can even overwhelm the brilliance of the singer, but the arrangement can only be regarded as labor employment at present, not a creation, even if you want to do a good arrangement, you need a very high level of musical literacy.
This song is a reward song of the system, and there is naturally an arrangement part in it, but Xu Jin can't take it out in a grand manner, and he must have a degree in demons.
You say that you were inspired and made a song, or even burst out of inspiration and filled in the corresponding words for the song, and that's fine.
But arrangement is different from composition, the arrangement is a test of the deployment of various musical instruments, composition can be expressed by inspiration, and the arrangement is a real test of musical skills, what kind of rhythm to use in this part, what kind of color and melody to use, this is not something that Xu Jin can understand as a newcomer to music.
Not to mention that when he gave the sample of "Smoke and Rain" to the music director of "Fairy Sword", Xu Jin also revealed that he was short, indicating that he could only play the piano and not other music.
And the song "Like" uses a lot of musical instruments, which also combines electronic music elements, but Xu Jin alone can't eat it on the surface.
So Xu Jin needs a team, even if it's a cover-up, and he just needs a team at this stage.
The director pondered for a while, he didn't understand the arrangement, movies and music were still separate in this era, and the soundtrack was generally outsourced to the team.
"How many teams can I introduce you?" The director said suspiciously.
Xu Jin regretted in his heart, introducing the introduction, which meant that he had to communicate by himself, if he had to spend money to complete the production of the soundtrack, this would not work.
Originally, Xu Jin thought that the director would stuff him into the soundtrack team like "Fairy Sword".
It's also that he thinks badly, "Fairy Sword" was finished at that time, the dubbing was being produced, and the director was Tang Renli, so it was easy to schedule.
But it's different here!
The production of film and television dramas has not yet ended, and the director doesn't understand this kind of thing, so it's a little difficult to leave Xu Jin here, if he wants to spend his own money to produce it, he is unwilling.
On the other hand, his financial resources could not provide him with such willfulness.
Going around and around, I still have to see what Tang Ren said.
Xu Jin skimmed a thousand thoughts in his mind, and said, "In this way, I'll talk to Tang Ren first and see if Tang Ren can make me on his side." ”
The director is still busy shooting, and he doesn't know anything about music, so he responds.
The dinner was scheduled for the evening, and it was still afternoon, and the dormitory rented by the company to Xu Jin was not returned to him because there would be filming in the future.
There is no need to be busy packing up and preparing to leave, Xu Jin has become a person who can still hang out in the crew after the finale.
He held a copy of "The Prince of Tennis" in his hand, immersed himself in the world of comics and relaxed his head, and after relaxing for an hour, he put down the comic book and slowly took out his mobile phone to make a call.
The call was made to He Chuan.
Since everyone in the company knew that there was an artist under him who appeared in Xingye's movie, he didn't know how many envious and jealous eyes he had received from his agents, and there were many artists whose names he couldn't say who greeted him very actively and politely.
This is fame, this is fame!
He Chuan was a little fluttery, he liked the feeling of being admired.
People live in the world, who doesn't have a pursuit?
Xu Jin called him, he was very surprised, like Xu Jin, a stuffy gourd, except for the beginning, he didn't understand anything and had to call him to ask him how to do it, and after passing the rookie stage, Xu Jin almost never looked for him again.
Could it be that Xu Jin finally got the hang of it and would call him to "show off"?
He Chuan actually does not exclude artists from doing this, which can make him feel the enterprising spirit of the artist, and it will help him "control" the artist.
There is a saying that is true, you don't need to know what he is thinking, you just need to know what he wants, and you can get the handle on it.
originally thought that Xu Jin would talk to him about "Martial Arts" when he called, but he didn't expect him to say something else.
He Chuan couldn't help but ask: "Xu Jin, didn't you say that you don't want to develop as a singer?" ”
Xu Jin smiled: "Now I have to develop morally, intellectually, physically, and beautifully even in school, and I can't ignore physical exercise, I am an actor, and my main focus is naturally on film and television dramas, but it doesn't mean that I have to ignore the cultivation of music." ”
His tone was full of pride: "Since I have a little musical talent and can write lyrics and songs, then why don't I sing it, a song won't be very time-consuming." ”
It's such a reason, but He Chuan still feels very regretful.
Xu Jin's acting skills are good, but his musical talent is also very good, lo and behold, just go to the crew for a turn, and the second original song will come out!
Combined with his face, it is clear that taking the singer route will be even more popular!
He said: "If you can put more effort into music and show your attitude towards acting, your songs may be able to sing all over the country now!" ”
Xu Jin was noncommittal and did not speak.
He is not a three-year-old child who is easy to fool, he wants to sing the fire song of the north and south of the country, he wants it, and he wants to give it to the system!
