He knew what Zhong Lei wanted to hear, but he didn't have the goods.

In the past, each of Zhong Lei's songs in history can be seen by countless top music critics left a deep analysis.

These music criticisms can be included in Zhong Lei's personal biography as peripherals, which in itself has extremely high artistic value.

Chen Feng's theories are all from other people's music reviews.

"Self Burning" is a new version of a ship that has never appeared in the past timeline, and of course no one has written a music review.

He held it for a long time, took a deep breath, and said heavily: "Okay! ”

An awkward silence followed.

"That's it?"

For a long time, Zhong Lei asked.

Chen Feng: "That's right! ”

Zhong Lei's expression was very uncomfortable, and she wanted to stop talking, and she was angry.

It was so hard for her to hold back, "Okay...... Okay. Then I'll send it? ”

Chen Feng became like gold, "Hair!" ”

"No, you should give me another evaluation."

"Don't you have the bottom in your heart?"

"But I want to hear your approval."

couldn't escape, Chen Feng gritted his teeth, "You give me the engineering files of the audio track, and I'll see how your audio track is synthesized." ”

An hour later......

Chen Feng was confident on the surface, and said completely bottomlessly: "Only seven basic instruments are used, and there are no complicated chords. ”

Zhong Lei: "Yes, I tried to do a little more subtraction, but I didn't deliberately pursue it, the purpose is to match the core of the whole song. ”

Chen Feng continued to listen again, pointed to a melody on the computer and asked, "What kind of timbre is this beep, it's very special." ”

"It's the sound of a motorcycle, but I raised three keys and made a remix chord, so it's an attempt."

Chen Feng nodded, "Well done, although there is no need to deliberately be unconventional, we don't care what kind of sound it makes, as long as we know, I want this timbre, and it is just right here." Tell me about any other similar ideas you have. ”

"I recorded this piano on Lou Wei's Steinway & Sons live sound, and I played it myself. This bass was played for me by Lu Wei, and we deliberately tuned the strings very loosely, so it sounded a little down, a little down. But what I want to express in this melody is a sense of cynicism and free-spiritedness. And this guitar, you never know how I recorded it. Listen to it. ”

Chen Feng listened carefully again, and then asked tentatively, "In the toilet?" ”

"I'm getting closer to the standard answer, go a little deeper."

"In the public toilet on that street in Cai Weilu?"

"Keep going deeper."

"I can't guess."

"It's the men's toilet in that public toilet! Hahahaha! Silly! At that time, Lu Wei was about to collapse! But I just think the echo reverberation effect in the men's toilet is more comfortable, probably because of the pothole. Also, the guitar I use is actually your Yangtze River guitar, how about it?! This muddy sound quality, which has been recompiled by digital software, is really unique. ”

Chen Feng: ......

He was speechless.

It's no wonder that when I went home these two days and fiddled with my guitar, I always felt a smell of guilt, and I thought it was because the toilet was not cleaned.

He looked at Zhong Lei's ears again and couldn't help but think to himself.

What is the structure of this person's ears, how is the brain, how can she hear this kind of detail that is completely beyond imagination, and how does she know that this sound is the best and the most perfect?

This...... It's probably the power of talent.

It's too much.

Zhong Lei's self-introduction continues.

Her eyebrows fluttered, and her spirit was flying.

Chen Feng quietly watched her "pretend to be 13" in the name of asking for advice, and smiled detachedly.

From this person's body, Chen Feng smelled the smell of talent pouring out like summer flowers in full bloom.

What a shame on oneself.

Her creative philosophy is completely unconventional, in order to pursue the perfect tone, she will do everything to achieve perfect timbre, and what is even more terrifying, she knows what perfect timbre is.

There are many sounds in nature, and humans will think it is wonderful after hearing it by chance, but they don't know how to reproduce it, how to capture it, and how to actively create a good sound.

Zhong Lei seems to be born with it, and she doesn't need to be taught by others, and no one can teach it.

It's full of talent, completely overflowing.

Kneel.

Now Chen Feng probably understands why Zhong Lei's songs are so powerful.

With this kind of ability, even if it is the same instrument, falling into her hands, and falling into the hands of a person with an ordinary performance level, the effect of playing will inevitably be very different.

No wonder she is so good when she holds the Yangtze River guitar and plays and sings to herself.

"Fat! Send it now! ”

Chen Feng waved his hand, and the song "Self Burning" was released simultaneously on the whole network.

Then he kicked Zhong Lei out and let Zhong Lei, who had the greatest autonomy, be in charge of the publicity and distribution work herself.

The adaptation of "Bathing in Fire" was put in advance, anyway, Meng Xiaozhou has not yet talked about a result.

In the end, Zhong Lei failed to get a word of "insight" from Master Chen's mouth.

It's just that Master Chen's vocabulary is too small, and he can only talk about it in his life.

But if you don't allow swearing, you can only have no comment.

Just say one word, "Good!" ”

This song really became an undoubted hit, but it suddenly disrupted Meng Xiaozhou's negotiation plan.

At twelve o'clock that night, Meng Xiaozhou called Chen Feng, "Mr. Chen, Neil Brockamp has changed his needs. ”

"How so? Not cooperative? ”

He prefers the song "Self Burning", which he thinks has more rebelliousness, promotes a righteous sacrifice, but is less rule-oriented, and more in line with the style of the movie "Chaotic Space." In his exact words, he loves "Self Burning" to death, and he wants to go crazy about it. ”

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately took it for granted.

That's the taste of Midi.

Neil is worthy of being a genius sci-fi director who filmed "District 9" and "Elysium" at a young age, and his ability to appreciate it should not be underestimated.

Of course, in Chen Feng's opinion, "District 9" is not bad, but it is too naïve.

The worldview of "Elysium" is simply spicy.

I don't know what level "Chaotic Space" is this time.

But Chen Feng doesn't care, all he cares about is being able to keep the purity of "Bathing in Fire", and at the same time he can use this to break into the European and American markets and start making dollars.

"Okay, then we will change "Self Burning" according to the needs of the other party."

"Time is pressing, and the other party hopes that we will go to Los Angeles tomorrow to communicate face-to-face and start the adaptation."

"No problem, let's go for three people. Me, you, and Zhong Lei. ”

Two days later, the three walked out of LA Airport side by side.

Waiting here is Wilt Jackson, one of the producers of "Chaotic Space".

As Neil Brockamp's best friend and right-hand man, Wirt is equally young, with blond hair and a tall build.

"Welcome to the freest country on the planet, do you think the air is sweeter? You know, we spent all night yesterday excited to make a big show with you. ”

Wirt was very enthusiastic, and his speech was full of arrogance and indifference characteristic of the Mi people.

Chen Feng barely understood, his heart was not very happy, he wanted to go back, but he was suffering from average English proficiency, and he was afraid of being embarrassed.

However, Zhong Lei was neither humble nor arrogant while refusing the other party's hug, and said: "Freedom is a very profound word, and you can't say too much. Some freedom is appearance, some freedom is essence. The ignorant indulge in comparison, and the wise self-spur. Our country does not like to compare with you, but our air is also sweet. ”

Wirt was stunned, and it took a long time to give a thumbs up, "worthy of being the creator of "Self Burning", worthy of being Chinese. I was actually just kidding. At the same time, the theme that "Chaotic Space" wants to explore is actually the definition of freedom. ”

As soon as they came, Chen Feng and Zhong Lei originally thought that this cooperation would be yellow, but Meng Xiaozhou did not panic at all.

As a returnee from the United States, Meng Xiaozhou is very familiar with the style of people here.

Contradictions are just adjustments, as long as the core elements of interests can reach a consensus, even if you spit on the other party's face, he can lick it down with a smile.

The negotiation process went smoothly, and after just two and a half hours, the contract was finalized on the spot, just like the previous terms.

After the three of them woke up, Meng Xiaozhou would rush back to China immediately, while Chen Feng and Zhong Lei stayed here to participate in the internal tasting with theme song singer Katie Swift, the director team and several main actors.

At the tasting, the duo will see the full film, which, according to Neil, will help the theme song team grasp the core of the story when adapting the lyrics.
