538 The first promotional song of "The Wandering Earth".
"Promo? It's early, right? "Yu Dongqing.
"The day before yesterday, Mr. Li came to the crew and mentioned this, the investment in this film is so large, the publicity and distribution work must keep up, and preparations must be made in advance."
Yu Dongqing knew that what he said in his mouth was that Mr. Li was Li Wan.
"Okay, I see."
In the original time and space, "The Wandering Earth" had a total of four promotional songs, Liu Huan sang "Take the Earth to Wander", Rocket Girl 101 Meng Meiqi "There is a Kind", Zhou Bichang "Go Wandering" and Yang Zongwei "Star".
It's all good.
But Yu Dongqing always felt that something was missing.
Liu Huan's "Take the Earth to Wander" is very atmospheric, but the song itself is not easy to sing.
"There is a Kind" is a bit out of bounds.
Zhou Bichang's "Wandering" is not bad,
Yang Zongwei's "Star" does not seem to be very popular.
Of course, there are many classic songs that fit the theme of this movie, and Yu Dongqing couldn't remember it for a while.
There is no hurry.
Think slowly.
Shangguan Feifei sang for a while and looked tired, so she sat next to Yu Dongqing and drank beer.
At this time, Li Li picked up the microphone and was singing a song.
I found you in the sea of people
Everything has changed
From now on, I have found beauty in my heart
found the infatuation to rely on
It is the classic martial arts song "Life is Meaningful".
While singing, he looked over and over again.
"Fei Fei, Li Li asked you to sing a duet with his love song." Du Xuefeng next to him joked.
Although Du Xuefeng and Li Li are not very familiar with each other, Li Li's performance tonight, as long as he is not blind, it can be seen that he is catching up with Guan Feifei.
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Feifei glanced at Li Li and said, "It's boring, a little boy, he knows what love is, and he doesn't sing well." ”
Yu Dongqing listened.
I guess this kid is out of play.
The girl didn't like him at all.
Shangguan Feifei didn't seem to care about this, but chatted with Yu Dongqing.
"Uncle Yu, I went back to the United States for the Chinese New Year this time and bought a few of your vinyl records, I wanted to hear about it, but I didn't expect my dad to like it very much."
"Really?" Yu Dongqing smiled and said: "Although my father is a few years older than me, he is also a contemporary, so he naturally likes to listen to these songs." ”
These songs are all classic songs from the eighties and nineties of that time and space.
How could people of that era not like to listen to it?
"My dad said that although he often listens to English songs, it is still Chinese songs that are the most attractive."
Scold?
Why does this sound familiar?
At this time, Li Li had already finished singing the song "Life is Meaningful" by himself, and he was immediately disappointed when he saw Shangguan Feifei and Yu Dongqing chatting hotly, and he was reluctant to come up and sing with him.
picked up the microphone, clicked another song, and continued to sing:
Give me a scoop of Yangtze River water, Yangtze River water
The wine-like water of the Yangtze River
The taste of drunkenness is the taste of nostalgia
Give me a scoop of Yangtze River water, Yangtze River water
"Four Rhymes of Homesickness"!
Yu Dongqing was a little surprised when he heard this.
This song is not very popular, especially among young people, why does Li Li sing it?
Yu Dongqing immediately found out the reason.
Originally, Shangguan Feifei was chatting, and after hearing Li Li sing this song, he quickly stopped talking and watched Li Li listen quietly.
It turned out to be singing Shangguan Feifei.
"Do you like to listen to this song?" Du Xuefeng was surprised.
Shangguan Feifei shook her head.
"It's not me, it's my dad, among the albums written by Uncle Yu, my dad likes to listen to this song the most, but I don't quite understand."
Someone like Shangguan Feifei, who grew up in the United States, naturally won't understand.
"My dad was very excited when he heard it. He was suddenly ready to accept an offer from Yenching University to resign from his professorship at the San Diego campus and return to China to teach. ”
"Huh? No way? Your dad just listened to Director Yu's song and made such an impulse? Du Xuefeng was a little unconvinced.
"Of course not!" Shangguan Feifei said: "Actually, my dad has long wanted to return to China, two years ago, his alma mater Yan University sent an invitation to welcome him back to teach, but my dad was still a little hesitant for various reasons, and finally decided this year!" ”
"Okay. Both of you have returned to China, but what about your mother? Yu Dongqing asked with concern.
"Of course I'm coming back. My mother said that the Chinese have an old saying that marrying a chicken is followed by a chicken and a dog is married to a dog. Shangguan Feifei replied.
Oh, my God.
This is from the mouth of an American woman?
At this time, Du Xuefeng also joined in the fun and joked.
"Fei Fei, all three of your family have returned to China, then you quickly find a Chinese son-in-law and become a Chinese completely."
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Feifei nodded seriously: "I will seriously consider this issue." ”
Yes?
It seems that Li Li's stinky boy seems to have a play?
The boy sang this song to attract the girl's attention, and it seemed that the purpose was achieved.
"So. Uncle Yu. Shangguan Feifei turned her head to look at Yu Dongqing, and suddenly changed the topic:
"I suddenly thought of "The Wandering Earth", in fact, this movie is also a nostalgia for hometown in a sense, so I think the theme song in the later stage should reflect this."
"That's what I thought too." Du Xuefeng echoed, "It's best to reflect it in the promotion song." ”
Hearing the words of the two, Yu Dong suddenly remembered an old song.
He already knew.
The most suitable song for promotion is that song.
The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, in September, the special effects production of "The Wandering Earth" finally came to an end, and Yu Dongqing was relieved.
Overall, the special effects part is very well-made, surpassing the special effects of the original time and space, after all, the investment of nine hundred million is not in vain.
It's raining in Shanghai today, and it's cooler than before.
Yu Dongqing was in a good mood, and seeing that there was nothing to do at work, he sat at the computer and opened the fruit software, and he was going to write songs and arrange music.
"The Wandering Earth" promotional song.
As Ouyang Feifei said in KTV some time ago, the story told in "The Wandering Earth" is actually the attachment of human beings to their hometown.
Yu Dongqing opened the composition software Notation and began to get busy.
It's an old song.
The melody is simple but very good, and Yu Dongqing has long imprinted it in his mind, so it doesn't take much effort to compose the music at all.
While tapping on the keyboard and moving the mouse, Yu Dongqing still hummed softly in his mouth.
"Uncle Yu, what are you doing?" It's a girl's voice.
There is no need to look back, Yu Dongqing knows Shangguan Feifei.
Since the crew entered post-production, Shangguan Feifei's responsibility is to be responsible for the coordination and communication between the special effects company and the film and television production, so she often runs back and forth between the two places.
"Write songs, make promotional songs for movies." Yu Dongqing didn't look back and said.
"Let me see."
Shangguan Feifei suddenly became interested, stood behind Yu Dongqing, and hummed softly as he watched the lines compose music.
Don't ask me where I'm from
My hometown is far away
Why wandering
Wandering far away
For the birds that fly in the sky
For a creek that flows lightly in the mountains
For the sake of the wide steppe
Wandering far away
The Olive Tree
