Chapter 184: Shocking Theme Song

Qu Xueyan put on the headphones and clicked the play button.

Li Xingruo's piano level is good, although there is only simple piano accompaniment at the beginning, but the poignancy of the melody of this song has been outlined by Li Xingruo's piano sound in the first few notes.

Although the vocals hadn't started singing yet, when he heard this prelude, Qu Xueyan couldn't help but light up immediately.

With this melody and Li Xingruo's singing voice as the foundation, this song is definitely not far behind.

At the moment when the prelude sounded, Qu Xueyan knew that this was the theme song he needed, and after some excitement in his heart, Qu Xueyan continued to listen.

After a short prelude, the vocal phase begins.

"Can't see through your lost soul, can't guess the color of your pupils......

Li Xingruo's singing voice carries a trace of sadness, and the crying voice of Ruowu is even more poignant interpretation of this song.

What's even more amazing is the lyrics!

The lyrics of this song are simply a perfect fit for the plot in my movie.

The more Qu Xueyan listened, the more excited he felt, and sure enough, he still had to find Zhang Songnian to write the theme song.

He knows himself too well!

The lyrics of this song are quite picturesque, and even make Qu Xueyan feel that such a good song is simply used as the theme song of a movie, and there is even a trace of waste.

However, this thought was only fleeting, and Qu Xueyan wished that Zhang Songnian had given his theme song the level of the Golden Melody Gold Award.

"Oh, ah, ah~"

After the second chorus, Li Xingruo's chanting interrupted Qu Xueyan's thinking, which shocked people's spirits.

The clear and melancholy chant completely spreads the sad mood of the whole song, and under the interweaving of the piano accompaniment, the chant spreads from immersion and restraint to the turbulent dark tide, and the emotions that spread layer by layer are like ocean waves, making the listener's heart rise and fall with it.

When listening to this song, Qu Xueyan thought of the fox demon heroine in his movie, and when facing the frightened look of his lover looking at him, he felt the devastating struggle and heart-rending sadness in his heart.

Qu Xueyan felt that his whole scalp was numb, and this dolphin sound really shocked him completely.

This song is simply tailor-made for his own movie, and it couldn't be more suitable.

He even raised a feeling that his film didn't deserve the song.

This song is really well written.

The lyrics are well written, the tune is even more exquisite, and Li Xingruo's heavenly singing voice is like a sound.

Just listening to this song is enough to make people imagine a sentimental tragedy in their minds.

"That's what it feels, that's what it feels......

After listening, Qu Xueyan's mouth kept muttering to himself.

The shock brought to him by this song was too great, especially the dolphin sound of Li Xingruo at the climax of the song, which is a song that can resonate.

It's hard for Qu Xueyan to imagine what it would be like if this song had a complete arrangement and was played in the cinema with the movie screen.

"That's what I'm looking forward to." Qu Xueyan couldn't help but muttered to himself with a smile.

After sighing, Qu Xueyan directly called Zhang Songnian and directly told Zhang Songnian that he was very satisfied with this song.

And I hope that Zhang Songnian and Li Xingruo can record this song as soon as possible and give it to him.

Qu Xueyan knows that a good theme song is a very big addition to the movie.

If you can use this song to make a promotional film with the plot of the movie, you may be able to trick many viewers into the cinema, who said that literary films can't be high at the box office?

Break this spell yourself!

After listening to the tailor-made theme song of "Painting the Heart" written by Zhang Songnian, Qu Xueyan felt full of confidence.

-----------

Because the arrangement of the song "Painting the Heart" uses a large number of string accompaniments, the amount of work involved in the arrangement is very large, which is obviously not something that Zhang Songnian can do by himself.

So Zhang Songnian found a professional in the company's composition department to help complete the arrangement, and it took nearly three days for Zhang Songnian to finally restore the arrangement of "Painted Skin" in Zhang Songnian's impression with the arranger.

The rest of the content is relatively simple, Li Xingruo was able to complete the song easily when he sang it for the second time, and after a week of practice, it only took a few hours to record this song.

In fact, Li Xingruo had already sung very well when he recorded it for the first time, but in order to pursue better results, the two always thought that they could record it several more times and strive to do better, so Li Xingruo recorded it three or four more times.

However, in the end, among the many versions to choose, Zhang Songnian, Li Xingruo, and even the recording engineer and arranger next to him have always thought that the first book sung by Li Xingruo is more flavorful.

"Thank you for your help these days." Zhang Songnian smiled and thanked the recording engineer and arranger.

The arranger on the opposite side waved his hand with a look of trepidation and said, "Where, it is my honor to be able to participate in the production of this song, if Mr. Zhang still needs to make a song next time, you can come to us at any time!"

Zhang Songnian smiled and nodded.

Although Jin Yu's composition department has pulled a little bit of composition, the level of arrangement is really not to be discussed.

Under the simple melody of the original song given by Zhang Songnian, he was still able to perfectly restore the complex arrangement of the version in his impression, which is definitely the top in the industry.

And whether it's an arranger or a sound recordist.

looked at Zhang Songnian with a perverted look.

From the communication process with Zhang Songnian in the past few days, they can be very sure that Zhang Songnian has definitely not studied composition systematically, and even whether Zhang Songnian has studied vocal music is the same thing.

But it is such a person who can casually write one classic golden song after another.

The time that Zhang Songnian has been exposed to the world is only a year, in this time.

Zhang Songnian wrote several film and television golden songs for Li Xingruo, and helped Li Xingruo win the championship through the advantages of one original song after another in the competitive music comprehensive.

In the end, he used a new album that was enough to be a god to push Li Xingruo down to the position of a first-line singer in the Chinese music scene.

In addition, Zhang Songnian even found time to write a few songs for the F4 group.

In this process, Zhang Songnian has output at least more than 20 songs, more than half of which are definitely proper golden songs according to the standards of today's Chinese music scene.

It's not that no one can do more than 20 songs a year, and there are many people who write more than Zhang Songnian.

But so far, it is difficult for anyone to write more than a dozen songs at the level of golden songs a year.

Even if the lyricist is a high-ranking singer, he does not have the terrifying efficiency and quality of Zhang Songnian.

Zhang Songnian is definitely a historical musician in the Chinese music scene.

Not only that, but he is also a musician who combines lyrics and songs, which is even more rare.

What's even more terrifying is that Zhang Songnian is only in his twenties, and if you refer to his past efficiency, next year's top ten golden song selection will soon become Zhang Songnian's personal show.

The recording engineer and arranger watched Zhang Songnian and Li Xingruo walk away, and several people were silent for a long time.

"These two people are really a match made in heaven, one can write and the other can sing, I have a hunch that the Chinese music scene will soon be their world." After a moment, the arranger couldn't help but sigh first.

The recording engineer pouted on the side and said, "I think judging from the situation of the Chinese music scene this year, it is now their world."

The arranger said with regret: "Indeed, the album "Love Song" is really amazing, but unfortunately I didn't participate in the recording of this album last time, but unfortunately, if I can participate in it, even if I retire now

I'm willing to do it."

The recording engineer glanced up and down at the arranger, and said with some disdain, "Pull you down, are you willing to pay you the salary offered by the company?"

"Besides, I don't think this painting is worse than the songs in the album "Love Song", rounding it up, if you record this song, it means that you recorded the album "Love Song", why don't you retire?"

The arranger originally just wanted to be young, but he didn't expect to be scolded so badly by his friend, and immediately smiled awkwardly.

"Hey, can this be the same?"

"But seriously, I haven't encountered a song like "Painting the Heart" in Jin Yu for a long time, the melody is really top, the most important thing is this poignant melody with tactful bass strings, tsk, it's really a genius idea." The arranger teacher and student stiffly changed the subject.

However, when it comes to the song "Painted Heart", the recording engineer obviously didn't joke with his friends anymore, but directly echoed: "Indeed, in the recording studio where Jin Yu has been working for so long, this song gives me the most profound and impactful feeling, as if when I listen to her singing, I can make up a poignant and sad love story in my mind."

"It's a pity that Mr. Zhang is reluctant to come to the composition department to develop, otherwise our Golden Feather composition department will definitely overpower Xingcan and Menghua." The arranger said with some regret.

The recording studio looked at his friend again, and said with a cane look: "What are you thinking, look at the current identity of people, you can't be the boss in the arranging department, go to the arranger department and work for you?"

The arranger pondered for a while, touched his chin and said, "Yes...... However, if Mr. Zhang can join the composition department, even if he is the boss, I will have no problem, I guess many people will support it."

The recording engineer immediately said nervously: ", you speak quietly in the company, don't have ears on the wall later, beware of being put in small shoes by your leader."

"Hehe......"

-----------------

The complete version of "Painted Skin" with the arrangement was quickly given to Qu Xueyan after the recording was completed.

Qu Xueyan immediately brought the publicity department of the crew, the assistant director and others to hold a meeting temporarily.

Qu Xueyan looked at everyone and said, "Let's talk about something, I thought the theme song of the movie was like this before, and after thinking about it, I finally decided to replace this theme song."

The person in charge of the publicity department in charge of publicity and distribution was the first to express his opinion: "This, Director Qu, the publicity channel has been prepared for publicity according to the previous theme song, will it be too hasty to change it now, and the original song was finally finalized by us round after round."

The assistant director said with a smile: "A good theme song is really a big addition to the movie, I feel that the current theme song is actually not too bad, but since Director Qu said so, there must be a better choice."

This comment highlights a slickness.

Qu Xueyan glanced at everyone, and then silently took out Li Xingruo's recorded "Painting Heart".

A poignant melody sounded in the conference room, and the song used cello notes as the main melody as soon as it came up, interspersed with guitar strings and piano glissando, reverberating melodies, mournful and poignant lyrics, and Li Xingruo's gorgeous dolphin voice completely detonated the sad mood of the whole song, and the poignancy of this song was highlighted to the fullest.

After hearing this, the crowd was silent for a long time.

Qu Xueyan also fell silent.

When I listened to the simplified version of piano + vocals for the first time, Qu Xueyan already felt amazing enough.

But I never thought that this song would feel so strong after having a complete arrangement.

After the addition of the orchestra, the whole song sounds majestic and reveals incomparable pathos, coupled with Li Xingruo's mournful and quiet singing, there is a lot of room for reverie.

To put it bluntly, just listening to this song is really enough to make up the picture in your head.

Everyone present has read the movie script, and when I heard this song just now, everyone more or less followed it

The melody and lyrics of the song are substituted into the plot of the movie.

"I'm going to change the theme song to this one, who's for it and who's against?" Qu Xueyan looked around at everyone and said calmly.

"Ahem, I think it's very reasonable, Director Qu really has an extraordinary vision!" The person in charge of the publicity and distribution department immediately stood up and agreed.

"Qu Dao Gao Jian!" The assistant director said with a thumbs up.

Qu Xueyan grinned with satisfaction and said, "Then this matter is so decided, pay attention to the publicity and distribution side, the song of the promotional film must be replaced with this "Painting Heart", a good theme song, the bonus to the movie is definitely very big, especially this theme song that is comparable to a golden song."

With Qu Xueyan's order, after the temporary decision to change the theme song, the movie began to be intensively promoted.

At this moment, it is the end of the summer file, and the National Day file still has a month to go, which belongs to the low tide period of the box office market.

Qu Xueyan himself has no plans to hit any box office results, how much money he makes through this movie, and so on.

This movie is more about realizing my dream and wanting to hit the Golden Bear Award.

But even so, after getting the theme song, Qu Xueyan still decided to try to promote it through the theme song to see if he could get more box office results.

Although I don't plan to make money by not making movies, after all, who would dislike having a lot of money.
