Chapter 195: The movie still needs the theme song

"Rubbing the heat?" Song Mu took the big envelope and faintly thought of something, "Is it ......?" ”

"Well, that's what it should be." Boss Zhao nodded with a smile.

Song Mu opened the envelope, and the red "love&peace" appeared in her eyes, which was the invitation to the International Animation Film Festival. Glancing at the date below: "Just over two months away?!" ”

"That's right," Zhao Wende shrugged his shoulders: "So I said that if you rush again, I guess you can still rub it, right?" ”

"Tsk~" Song Mu was depressed, but she was not good at Boss Zhao, so she said goodbye and hurried to the studio.

Zhao Wende watched her leave, then picked up the phone and dialed a number unhurriedly.

"Brother Liang? You've got ...... account."

"She's in a hurry? Hahaha, it's like burning your ass. ”

"Don't worry, I have a number, and if I can't delay, if I can't do it, I'll ask Lao Mao to add more people."

"Okay, okay, I'll see you later."

…………

Song Mu took the invitation letter and kept returning to the studio, and after entering the office of the elite group, he kept recruiting everyone from the elite group, plus all the members of the production committee, to the conference table.

Pressing the invitation letter on the whiteboard with a magnet, Song Mulang said, "Everyone come and take a look." ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the blackboard, but they were all persuaded to quit after a while. It's not because of anything else, it's just that it's all in foreign languages, and they can't understand it at all except for a few Chinese characters and numbers!

"Is this ......?" Li Xuelin's head is flexible, although he can't read it, but from the fact that it is written in English and Chinese, he vaguely guessed what this thing represents: "Is it an invitation to the Peace International Animation Film Festival?" ”

"That's right," Song Mu pointed to a line of small words on it and was about to say something, when he suddenly thought that there were already more than a dozen people in the meeting now, and it was not appropriate to let everyone gather around, so he had to put away his hand and said directly to everyone: "It's the invitation to the Peace International Animation Film Festival, the time is two months later, I know it may be a little difficult, but I hope that "Mulan" must be completed before and after this." Will it work? ”

After Song Mu's words were finished, everyone around the conference table suddenly fell silent, and everyone calculated in their hearts whether the work they had in hand could be completed within the time limit.

For this topic, Han Yangqiu, who is responsible for the overall regulation and control, has the most right to speak. But with his non-talkative nature, he did not report it at the first time, but set his eyes on Zhou Hongyun.

Through this period of getting along, Zhou Hongyun basically understood the temper of Han Yangqiu, his theoretical boss, and when he saw his eyes at this moment, he knew that it was time for him to play a role.

"Team Leader." He called Song Mu lightly, and at the same time opened a notebook, got up from his seat and prepared to report.

"Sit down, don't stand up." Without waiting for him to speak, Song Mu waved his hand first and motioned for him to sit back.

Zhou Hongyun was already able to calmly accept the relaxed atmosphere of the elite group, and since Song Mu asked him to sit down, he was not too pretentious, and sat back in his chair before continuing: "According to the current progress, although "Mulan" has entered the advanced stage, we still need about three to four months. The main difficulty lies in the dubbing and soundtrack.

"The dubbing is actually 60% complete, but there is a part of it that needs to wait for the soundtrack to be decided before we can continue.

"But there are a little more problems with the soundtrack, on the one hand, a few theme songs have not yet been decided, and on the other hand, the Haishi Symphony Orchestra we have made an appointment with has a task recently, and it will take more than a month to have time."

Song Mu nodded, looked at Lu Kangping, who was in charge of the soundtrack, and asked, "Brother Lu, can you not find the Haishi Symphony Orchestra?" ”

"Okay, that's okay," Lu Kangping didn't say much: "You ask to find the best orchestra, and the Haishi Symphony Orchestra is the best." If you don't look for them, you have to find the first gear, such as the Haishi Film Orchestra or the Haishi Radio Orchestra. It's definitely too late to find their soundtrack, but the effect may be a little less. ”

Song Mu knew that Lu Kangping's so-called owe was conservative, and in later generations, the Haishi Film Orchestra and the Zhehai Radio Orchestra merged into one orchestra, and at that time they still couldn't play with the Haishi Symphony Orchestra, how could they only owe a little when they were still two now?

After pondering for a moment, Song Mu asked again: "Brother Lu, do we have a national orchestra in Haishi?" ”

Lu Kangping was stunned for a moment after listening to Song Mu's words, and then understood what she meant: "Do you want to match this piece with folk music?" ”

"Yes," Song Mu affirmed Lu Kangping's speculation, and explained to everyone: "If there is a national orchestra, I want to try the fusion of folk music and symphony, after all, with the integration of national characteristics, even if the performance is somewhat poor, foreigners may not understand, and a good face can also contribute to the promotion of our Chinese folk music." ”

"It's not a bad idea." Lu Kangping agreed with Song Mu's idea: "If this is the case, we can consider finding the Haishi Film Orchestra." They have a large orchestra and a national orchestra, which is more in line with our requirements. ”

Song Mu heard that he wanted to use the Haishi Film Orchestra, and he was somewhat prejudiced about this: "Brother Lu, is this Haishi Film Orchestra really good?" ”

"Well, it depends on what you're referring to." Lu Kangping deserves to be a professional soundtrack, and he will also say: "If you talk about live performances, to be honest, they are quite average." But if you want to talk about the level of the soundtrack of the movie, as long as you record it twice, they are actually quite good. From "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" in the early years to "A Few Monks" in previous years, they all made it. ”

Song Mu recalled the soundtracks of those animations in his mind, and it seems to be really good when he thinks about it carefully, but there is one point: "I think about it carefully, they are all pure folk music, is it okay to do this fusion style I said?" ”

"Don't you still have me?" Lu Kangping patted his chest and promised: "Speaking of which, my friendship with the Haishi Film Orchestra is much better than that of the Haishi Symphony Orchestra, and in the past few days, I have changed all the tunes I wrote before, and I will check on you when they are rich, there should be no big problem." ”

As soon as Song Mu heard that this trick was quite reliable, he agreed on the spot: "Okay, then it's decided, you go back and go with Xiaoping to the Haishi Film Orchestra, if possible, try to complete it within this month." ”

"This ......" Lu Kangping's face showed embarrassment: "If you just do these songs, you will definitely be able to complete them this month, just those theme songs or something...... Team leader, I'm not very good at pop songs, and I may not be able to finish it for a while. ”

Song Mu's original idea was to find some pop singers who are now popular and ask them to write a few tunes specifically for "Mulan". But after receiving a few songs, she found that those songs were not suitable for the scenes in the animated movie, let alone the mainstream international aesthetics, so she had no choice but to hand over this task to Lu Kangping.

It's just that the early animation of China didn't like to make any theme songs.,Later, although there was a theme song for chasing pop.,But it's also a child's rhyme style.,Now let Lu Kangping do pop music.,It's really a little difficult for him.。

"Otherwise," Song Mu scratched his head helplessly: "Han Yangqiu, let's still have the old rules, I'll sing, you can write, okay?" ”

Han Yangqiu made an OK gesture, and Liu Xiaoping's eyes lit up and said, "Lead. Director, can I still sing the theme song this time? ”

Song Mu smacked his lips: "I'll try it first, and whoever sings it will talk back." ”

After a few more words of explanation to everyone, once again emphasizing that the production of "Mulan" must be completed before and after the Peace International Animation Film Festival, Song Mu returned to his desk, closed his eyes and began to try to recall.

The reason why she hasn't made the theme song of "Mulan" this time is precisely because the popularity of the theme song of "Mulan" is not as high as "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother", strictly speaking, it is not even so high, but very low.

In addition to watching the movie many times and listening to it by the way, Song Mu almost didn't specifically look for those songs to listen to.

pressed his temples and tried to recall, and the eldest brother's "Real Man" jumped out first. I have to say that perhaps because of the influence of the eldest brother, this "Real Man" should be the most sung in the entire soundtrack.

Song Mu opened his eyes and wrote the name of the song on the paper for the first time.

'Who else but Big Brother?' Song Mu closed his eyes again and tried to recall, "It seems that there is the original song of "A Year of Thinking of You"? What song is it? ’

I really couldn't think of it, so Song Mu decided to change her approach, and she began to recall the original animation from the first shot to the scene.

Unexpectedly, this method turned out to be extremely easy to use, and the title song "Shadow" of "Mulan" was finally remembered by her. Immediately afterwards, the original singer of "A Year Missing You" sang "Be Proud of This" and "Beauty Welcomes You" were also thought of by her one by one.

Although these songs were remembered by her, they were not like the songs of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" at that time, she could only think of a rough tune, and the lyrics were much worse.

There are also a few other plot interspersed songs that are not theme songs, and I can't even remember the tune clearly.

finally recalled six or seven percent, Song Mu called Han Yangqiu over and sang a few songs to him in a row.

"That's pretty much it." Song Mu shrugged helplessly, "You can do so much, can you do the rest?" ”

Han Yangqiu's face showed a rare expression of surprise: "This is all what you thought temporarily?" Or have you wanted to write the theme song for a long time, just because you haven't had time? ”

"......" Song Mu felt that no matter which answer to this question was easy to make him think more, he simply said vaguely: "I have already had an idea...... Can you handle it? ”
