Chapter 161: Singing the Theme Song Myself, the First Cannonball of the Film Market (Ask for Full Booking)
"Who is this?"
"I don't know!"
"What a temper!"
The three of them were listening to Lilac singing, especially Jin Wenfang, who was worthy of being the queen of the previous songs, even if she sang such a resentful lyrical song, she also held it in her hand, it was too powerful!
And......
This song is also well written, especially the lyrics!
Please call the dawn and don't come again
Now the romantic feeling puts me out of the world
And the warmth of the breeze
Send love in the cold rain
Silently let infatuation break through the barriers
……
"Tsk, it's worthy of Lotus's lyrics!"
"Yes, someone said that Lotus was a woman before, but now it seems that she shouldn't have run away!"
"Definitely, "Full Moon in the West Building" can be seen!"
All three of them got the score, and naturally they also saw the name of the songwriter.
The name of the lotus has been spread all over the world, and when I hear a few songs about the lotus on weekdays, everyone has been speculating about who this holy person is.
As for seeing Lotus's new song in Lilac's hands, they were not surprised, after all, the two had already collaborated on "Full Moon in the West Building" once.
However......
Before the three of them could finish listening, Lilac's singing was rudely interrupted by Zhou You.
Lilac also stopped, took off her headphones, and walked out.
"I told you before that the position of this song is when the hero and heroine are together, Nie Xiaoqian is a female ghost, and she has to go back during the day, so this song is full of her reluctance to Ning Caichen, in addition, she is a female ghost controlled by her grandmother, and she can move freely at night, but during the day she has to return to the place that disgusts her, so her feelings of hoping that Liming will not come are strong and urgent......
Traveling around Balabala kept talking, and Lilac listened obediently.
"If you can't do it, I'll let Bai Jie try!"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Jie immediately showed a look of eagerness to try!
Speaking of which, she has double cultivation in film and television, and her grades are good, if she can still occupy a certain position in the music world, she will really become a sister in the entertainment industry.
But she doesn't have any singing skills, when she sang with others before, she was still out of tune, of course, she can practice everything, even if she has no talent, as long as she works hard, it is not difficult to sing well.
"No, I'll do it myself!"
Lilac hurriedly refused, she liked this song very much, if it was snatched away by Bai Jie, then she really wanted to cry without tears.
Seeing this, Bai Jie went over to tell Ding Xiang the plot and helped her bring in the role of Nie Xiaoqian.
In fact, in her opinion, it is very suitable for her to sing this song, after all, it is a song sung from Nie Xiaoqian's perspective, and she can instantly enter Nie Xiaoqian's role and experience her mood.
And this clip of Zhou Youshuo, she and Yan Run have just finished filming!
At first, she thought that in this play, she was the worst one, but now it seems that the worst should be Yan Run, after all, he has wet his body many times more times than her, just the part of Xiaozhu in the lake, Yan Run is on this time, I don't know how many times he has fallen into the lake!
Just when Bai Jie helped Lilac enter the state, Jin Wenfang and the others also came back to their senses.
She walked up to Liang Yuan and asked in a low voice, "Director, what is the origin of this?"
Liang Yuan said: ""The Legend of the White Snake" knows, he is the screenwriter of the Legend of the White Snake!"
Ha?
Hiss!
Jin Wenfang gasped, "The Legend of the White Snake", the Legend of the White Snake that created a ratings miracle!
Therefore, this is the preacher, I didn't expect the preacher to be so young, no wonder Director Liang is so polite to this one!
After all, Jin Wenfang was young, and his brain turned quickly, and he said, "Then what are they...... It's not going to be a new drama!"
Liang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly slapped his head!
yes, he was so excited that his mind didn't turn anymore.
A screenwriter, a singer, an actor
……
People who can't be beaten with eight poles gather together, isn't there a new play?
As for the recorded song, I'm afraid it's an episode of the new drama, Zhou You is a screenwriter after all, so he naturally knows where the episode is going to be used, and he knows the feelings that this plot wants to express, so he will let Lilac find his feelings!
Liang Yuan was excited, no matter what, he must have a good talk with Zhou You for a while, even if he can't get the exclusive broadcast right, at least he has to get a simulcast right.
I just don't know what type of new drama this time is, maybe it's related to "The Legend of the White Snake"?
"What? Missionary? Good boy, really fake!"
"Really!"
"Unexpectedly, I met the legendary preacher!"
"Hey, even if you are an evangelist, you won't be so fierce to Teacher Ding!"
"Maybe people are serious, besides, they are screenwriters, and even the director can't compare to the plot!"
"Yes!"
With several changes, Lilac finally entered the state, and the emotional song "Don't Come at Dawn" sang sadness and resentment, and Jin Wenfang and others couldn't help sighing.
"Teacher Ding deserves to be Teacher Ding, this song is out, who knows that Teacher Ding used to sing strong songs!"
"yes, this range is so wide that you can grasp both the treble and the bass!"
"Speaking of which, Bai Jie's singing is really out of tune!"
Jin Wenfang and the others snickered.
"Not bad!"
Zhou You took off the headphones.
Hearing Zhou You's affirmation, Lilac breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have probably found my style, I like this kind of music very much!"
She couldn't sing a good song, but she didn't know what she should sing, but now, she suddenly felt that the song "Don't Come at Dawn" was good!
Zhou You didn't speak, and took out another song.
Lilac distributed the score to several people.
"Teacher Ding, you sing so well!"
"Really? Teacher Zhou teaches well!"
Teacher Zhou......
Jin Wenfang looked strange, although Zhou You did teach a lot in feelings, but ......
After all, he is just a screenwriter, how can he say that.
Modest!
Ha, it seems that Teacher Lilac is really humble!
At this time, Jin Wenfang also looked at the other sheet music in his hand!
A Chinese Ghost Story
Lyrics: Lotus!
It's Lotus again, this preacher is really a cow, and the new drama turned out to be composed by Lotus again, but I don't know how the drama is.
The song "A Chinese Ghost Story" is based on pop and classical, and the prelude is a flute sound effect synthesized with electric sound, and musical instruments such as pipa, guzheng, and erhu are used in the song!
A few people looked at it, and they already knew it.
Jin Wenfang was a little surprised, the classical flavor of this piece is quite strong, so this drama may be another costume drama.
That's just the word......
The road of life is like a dream
The road is windy and frosty, and the wind and frost are dry
In the red dust, how many directions are there for sweet dreams
……
Tsk, it really deserves to be the lotus flower who wrote "The Moon is Full in the West Building", the melody is melodious, the context is far-reaching, and it is simply impeccable.
It's just that......
No matter how you look at this song, it's not suitable for Lilac to sing!
Really......
It's not cloves singing, because it's not cloves that go into the recording studio and bring ear monitors, but travel!
Liang Yuan was also stunned, and wondered, "Teacher Zhou, this is ......?"
"Teacher Zhou's singing is a must!" Bai Jie said with a smile.
"Oh?"
Soon, several people became familiar with the score, and as the melodious prelude sounded, the singing of the tour also appeared.
The road of life
……
open
Mouth on your knees!
The moment the thick magnetic middle sound sounded, Bai Jie's body trembled instantly.
To be honest, she hasn't actually heard Zhou You sing much, most of them hum a few words when they are on the set, or in their spare time, Zhou You sings half a song.
But......
Singing in private and singing in the studio are completely different things, and the timbre alone is obviously different.
In private, Zhou You's voice is relatively crisp, but at this time, Zhou You's timbre has become much thicker, especially the accent, like a drum beat, hitting her heart heavily!
In particular, she herself is playing Nie Xiaoqian, and she has already filmed half of this scene, so that Zhou You's singing sounded instantly.
Nie Xiaoqian, who was dressed in white, appeared in her mind, wandering all the way, but the ups and downs she had gone through and the misfortunes she had experienced seemed to be all prompted by this song.
Especially the long play of the guzheng in the middle, as well as the change of tone, as if depicting the murmuring of the Linjian stream, the upstairs piano, the sword and sword shadows, the infatuated resentful girl crying, and the end is a bizarre picture!
However, at this moment, the singing came to an abrupt end.
"What are you doing, the one who plays the guzheng hasn't eaten?"
Zhou You stopped and said with the microphone.
Jin Wenfang was stunned, and then her face turned red, because she was the one who played the guzheng!
To tell the truth, she was distracted, she never expected that this preacher sang so well, and her voice was a penetrating alto, and she felt like her ears were pregnant.
But the most important thing is that this song is almost tailor-made, even if you don't know the plot, it still makes people feel a slightly sour emotion at the tip of the nose.
It is precisely because of this that she made a mistake in the middle of playing!
"I'm sorry, I ...... I'm nervous!"
Jin Wenfang hurriedly got up and apologized.
She studied music, so she naturally knows the importance of recording songs, but in fact, if she wants to be rigorous, she should record the accompaniment first!
Zhou You said: "This song guzheng is the main theme, especially there are several variations in it, you can play it well!"
Jin Wenfang nodded, took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and then, it started again!
After all, they are all professional people, and this song is not difficult, so this time several people did not make mistakes, and the singing tour did not make mistakes, and it was directly passed over again.
"Good boy, this preacher teacher......
"yes, he'...... Isn't he a screenwriter?"
"A screenwriter who can't sing is not a good teacher!"
The three of them were stunned, especially the two from the conservatory, and they even suspected that Zhou You was from the conservatory!
Or Lilac had a big mouth, and when she saw the three of them, she was surprised and said, "You think Zhou You is just writing a script? The songs "Don't Come at Dawn" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" were all written by himself, otherwise how do you think he could go through them all over again?"
Jin Wenfang was stunned: "This ...... Isn't this songwriter a lotus?"
It's just that when she said this, she saw Lilac staring at her with a smile.
The person on the side said, "Hey, the preacher is the lotus? Lotus is traveling?"
Depend on!
Big news!
It's just that......
That's what we told us?
Not afraid to be spoken.
But after thinking about it, who would believe it, and at this time, several people have been shocked, where can they think of any big news or anything like that.
If I come to my senses and send this thing out, I'm afraid it will be drowned in hundreds of millions of news entries.
Even if someone sees it, it is estimated that it will be a smile, and the heart is an eye-catching sand.
……
"A Chinese Ghost Story" is finished!
It took a month and a half later, not to mention that Xu Wenqiang was confused, even the starring Yan Run and Bai Jie were also a little confused.
Feel......
Isn't it a little too fast?
And......
There are so few things to shoot, they have seen it before, and they found that the material is enough to cut for 30 minutes, but ...... That's the end of it.
In the end, it can only be classified as Zhou You's first time as a director to shoot a movie, and I don't know how to control it!
"The total cost is 22,380,000!"
Lilac made a lot of efforts this time, personnel scheduling, finance, logistics, etc., all of which she found someone to do, but the money was all from Zhou You.
More than 20 million!
Zhou You secretly said, "I almost peeled my flowers!"
Lilac pouted: "It's just more than 20 million, do you still care?"
Travel:......
Of course I care!
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the first batch of "The Legend of the White Snake", the money he earned from writing songs would not be enough to make this drama.
"It's almost May, when is your play going to be released?"
From the start of filming in March, to now April is almost May, and the filming progress is fast, but there are still many processes in the middle of a film to be released.
Of course, there are shortcuts to everything.
"Dragon Boat Festival!"
"Dragon Boat Festival? This year's Dragon Boat Festival is on June 3rd, and you have only finished filming now, and you still have to post-production, as little as a month, or as long as two or three months!"
"It doesn't matter, it's going to be fine in a week or ten days!"
Lilac opens her mouth!
A week or 10 days?
Are you kidding, it's a question of whether you can piece together a complete movie from a sea of footage in a week or ten days.
However, Zhou You said so, and she didn't say a lot, and everyone else left, such as Bai Jie, Yan Run, and others, and Ding Xiang stayed with a few post-production staff.
And when they stayed this time, they really saw what post-production is and what is editing!
Because in less than four days, they saw the full plot of the movie!
And it's ninety-eight minutes!
As we all know, the duration of a movie is generally one and a half to two and a half hours, and most of them are about 100 minutes, which is the best duration of the movie.
And the play "A Chinese Ghost Story" is just ninety-eight minutes, which belongs to the best duration category!
But......
Obviously there isn't a lot of material, but how did you get enough for 98 minutes?
It wasn't until Ding Xiang and others looked at the material library and saw that there were only a dozen or twenty materials left, and they were completely confused.
The ratio of the movie's materials, one out of ten, is already very good!
In other words, out of a hundred materials, ten of them can be used in the feature film, which is already a very controlling performance!
You know, in the early years, someone appeared to make the material for a movie, and cut out two completely different movies, and both of them are complete movies!
You can imagine how much material there is in a movie!
Can travel around this ......
"This ...... It's not like it's a forced piece of material together!"
Lilac looked at the other people, also a little helpless.
Zhou You is a screenwriter after all, how can he do such a thing, he can only look for Zhou You!
"Oh, you're here, it just so happens that I can't do some professional things in the later stage, I've written all the precautions, you do it first!"
Zhou You can completely stitch together a film, that's because he has a finished film in his head, but the later dubbing, such as the sound effects of weapons, as well as post-special effects processing, etc., Zhou You can't do it.
Seeing this, Lilac also clicked on the video with a few post-production personnel, and then ......
After an hour and a half, everyone was silent.
"Hmm! We're film professionals, aren't we?"
"It should be...... Right?"
"Grass, Lao Tzu has been filming for so long, this kind of filming method is really the first time I've seen it!"
"No wonder...... No wonder it was filmed so quickly, because there were no waste films at all!"
"yes, what do you want, in people's heads
The surface is already there, the angle, light and shadow, and even the change of light and shade, I said that many of them are dead from one angle, and at that time I also persuaded Director Zhou to shoot from another angle!"
"I seriously doubt that Director Zhou has the complete film of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in his head!"
Everyone rolled their eyes, but ......
After watching the whole film, they couldn't understand it at all, only the endless worship of travel.
This isn't a man, it's a god!
Lilac finally came back to her senses and couldn't help but say, "What do you think this film is ...... What about the quality!"
Everyone, you look at me, I look at it, and say, "I suddenly have a feeling that this film is going to explode!"
"Well, I have it too!"
"Maybe the box office will exceed 100 million!"
"Tsk, I feel like we may have to learn from the crew of "The Legend of the White Snake"!"
There is a glint in their eyes, and it is actually easy to see whether the film is good or not, not to mention the staff who are in the later stage.
Although the post-production has not been done yet, it looks greatly discounted, but they still finished watching the play completely, and when the post-production is completed, the excitement will inevitably increase.
Xu Xian rides a snake with a rating of 7.8!
Maybe Ning Caichen's sleeping ghost can have a box office of over 100 million!
A rookie director's *** work has a box office of over 100 million, and he is also self-written and directed, and the future is limitless!
"Do it!"
……
Zhou You naturally didn't know that the confidence of several late-stage personnel in him had skyrocketed, and at this time, he had already begun to be busy with the affairs of the village.
May Day is coming, after all, it is a statutory holiday, and many people will choose to get married on May Day.
The phone call from Zhou You was blown up a few days ago, and in the end, he chose to take the wedding of the two families!
One of them is Dayu Village that I have been to!
Last year, Zhou You came to Dayu Village, when Fang Lin's son got married, Zhou You slaughtered a pig in six minutes, won the title of country butcher, and was drunk that night.
Later, many people in Dayu Village called Zhou You, but because they were too busy, they didn't have time to come over at all, and they slowly forgot about it.
A few days ago, Fang Lin came over in person, saying that his nephew was getting married, and the time was set for May Day, hoping that Zhou You could help, and he also brought a thick red envelope!
Zhou You agreed, of course, he definitely didn't because of the thick red envelope.
