Chapter 104 Theme Song Outsourcing (Subscription Requested)

The music of "Dragon Fighter" is relatively unpopular.

Especially the opening song "STEP" and the ending song "Hot Adventure" of the first season, I believe many people have not heard it.

Don't believe it!

In fact, the Dragon Fighter is the first two seasons of the "Legend of the Demon God Heroes" series of animations, and many people have not even watched the animation, let alone OP and ED.

The "Dragon Fighter", which is the most watched and recognized by domestic audiences, is actually "The Legend of the Super Demon God Heroes" translated by Liao Yi in 03.

This is the third installment in the series!

Everyone is familiar with it, and when you listen to the melody, it is like returning to the two opening songs of childhood "ひとつのハートで" and "POWER OF DREAM", which are also the two OP songs of "The Legend of the Super Demon God Heroes".

So......

The OP and ED songs of the first animation,There should only be a small number of people who have heard it in China.。

Among them, Gu Miao is not included.

The "Dragon Fighter" he watched when he was a child is also the third work in the series translated by Liao Yi. It wasn't until many years later that the first two seasons of the anime were made up through the Internet.

As for OP and ED songs?

Because it's all Japanese.,He directly pulled the progress bar and skipped it.,No one really catches up on it.,And patiently watch each episode of OP and ED, right?

That's too idle!

I can't remember the original music melody, plus the animation needs to be localized, OP and ED music, of course, you have to have a little "Chinese" characteristics.

Therefore, for the opening and ending songs of the animation "Dragon Fighter", Gu Miao chose the most "trouble-free" approach.

Outsource!

Directly spend some money, hire a music team, and create two eligible songs according to the needs of the "plot" and "character design" of this work.

It's equivalent to spending money on "customization".

In the animation industry, this kind of "spending money to buy songs" operation is all too common.

No way!

Even if it is as strong as Disney, Toei, Pixar and other giants in the animation industry, it is impossible to spend a lot of money to maintain a music team for the opening and ending songs, right?

Oh...... It's also possible!

After all, these big factories still have money, and it doesn't matter if you have a professional music team, you can finish it if you don't have money.

Love to read

But in general......

Animation interludes, cutscenes, and ambient music can be handled by the animation company itself. But the opening and ending songs are basically outsourced to professional music teams.

Prices vary!

For a better team, the offer is certainly ridiculously high, but the quality of the corresponding songs is also guaranteed. For the team that is a little worse, the offer is cheap, but the quality of the song is uncertain......

It may be missed, but it is likely to be miserable.

Gu Miao didn't plan to "pan for gold in".

He is looking for a music team that charges a lot of money, but has a good reputation, and specializes in customizing theme songs for anime works.

"I'm going to burn!"

Gu Miao gestured with both hands: "The blood is surging, the feeling of a passionate teenager, do you understand?" ”

I know you banana bang!

The composer surnamed Su, who was in charge of docking the project, said with a numb expression: "This is too abstract, Mr. Gu, can you be more specific?" ”

Be reasonable.

Although it is difficult to serve Party A's father, it is the first time he has seen such an abstract Party A's father as Mr. Gu.

People are all speaking directly, I want the lyrics to contain XX elements, I want a fast/slow song, I want to add a little folk/RAP/rock/lyricism, I also want Cantonese/Chinese/English balabala......

Mr. Gu is good, just ask for one word!

Burn!

It sounds like this Party A seems to be better served than those rambling Party A? After all, the word "burning" encompasses a wide range, and he can display his talents at will.

But experience tells Xiao Su.

The simpler the requirements, the more difficult it is to meet the needs. In the end, I don't know how many brain cells I have to burn in order to gain his approval.

And those requirements sound a lot and harsh, but the scope of composition has been "delineated", on the contrary, it is easiest to meet.

"Xiao Su, are you okay?"

Gu Miao frowned and said, "You can't meet such a simple need?" Just like you, are you embarrassed to say that you are a gold medal composer? ”

"My My ......"

Xiao Su smiled awkwardly: "My business ability is indeed a little poor, I'm sorry Mr. Gu, I made you laugh." ”

"It's fine!"

Everyone sincerely admitted their mistakes, and Master Gu Miao had a lot, so naturally he wouldn't bother with him, so he waved his hand and said, "Then I'll describe it more specifically......"

Burning is a must-drop!

At the same time, because the animation is called "Dragon Fighter", and the Dragon God runs through the whole play, the lyrics must contain important elements such as "Dragon God" and "Creation Mountain".

Composer of this side of the song......

Gu Miao thought about it and felt that the most important thing about an anime theme song must be "to the point", that is, it conforms to the content of the animation.

You can't make a festive melody like "dong dong" in a "dark pathos" work, right? That's too inconsistent.

The theme of Dragon Fighter is clear.

A fantasy adventure in another world, with a lot of funny elements, the core is "saving the world". Therefore, the idea of arranging music can be roughly summarized in one sentence:

A group of energetic young people embark on the road to save the world amid laughter!

“OK!”

Xiao Su nodded, and after taking a note of this, he asked, "Should the tune be more relaxed or more serious?" ”

"Take it easy!"

Gu Miao thought for a moment, and then added.

Compared with other anime savior characters who are "bitter and hateful", Xiaodu is undoubtedly a person who is quite optimistic.

The animation is actually quite hilarious.

Whether it is Takeichiro Kenbe with a "hippopotamus face" or the cute Ninjabe Miko, they can be counted as characters like "pistachio".

In this kind of funny painting style, of course, the theme song can't be too "solemn", and it sounds like mourning, which is too damaging to the atmosphere.

"Okay, I remember."

After making sure that nothing was missing, the composer surnamed Su turned around and left Wanbao and began to devote himself to composing music.

Let's hope it's worth it!

After sending off this guest, Gu Miao was a little distressed and said: "It costs 200,000 yuan just to compose the music, and this is not counting the money for lyrics and singing, do they really dare to make a price?" ”

"It's okay."

Huang Kun, who came to report on the work, pondered: "I don't know much about the market situation of composing music and lyrics, but I heard that this music studio has cooperated with many film and television companies. ”

"I know that."

Gu Miao said angrily: "I mean, even if they are very famous and famous...... But this is Egawa! ”

Really don't give Gu someone face?

The name "Gu Miao" is in Jiangchuan, I dare not say that women and children know it, and they have a bit of social status, right?

When he went out to eat noodles, the store had to give him a ninety-five discount, and the last time he took a taxi, the driver didn't dare to charge him.

Ask ......

When did he take care of someone, when did he suffer such a grievance? Don't ask for free, can't you give a 95% discount to your face?
