Chapter 125: What's right for you is the best
Jiang Cheng quickly sent over the customization requirements for the promotional song of Gao Xingyue's movie, and Party A's general requirements were actually one:
The song should be combined with the plot of the movie!
The movie roughly tells the story of an ambitious young man who decides to join the army, says goodbye to his beautiful wife, and begins a career as a horseman.
Years later.
The man had great achievements in war and became a general, but he was already physically and mentally exhausted, and he actually had the idea of wanting to disarm and return to the field, but at this time, the enemy army wanted to attack the city where he was located, and saw that the war was inevitable......
The title of the movie is "Soldiers Coming to the City".
The plot synopsis given by Party A is very general, and the specific content must be far more than the introduction, but if it is too specific, it will also make the creation of custom songs more difficult, and this degree is enough.
It shouldn't be difficult.
Lin Zhibai's inspiration exploded, and he directly started his own creation, "Crimson, according to Party A's requirements, customize a song that fits the plot!" ”
Ding dong.
Crimson instantly noticed the element, and quickly customized a song: "Congratulations to the host for obtaining the song "Smoke and Sand in Half a City"!" ”
Yes!
Crimson is very intimate, and she directly customized Lao Xu's song for Lin Zhibai, the lyrics of this song match the plot of the movie very well, and the quality is also remarkable, not weaker than Chu Ci's first two songs at all!
Lin Zhibai was very satisfied.
It just so happens that the first two songs of Chu Ci are also Lao Xu's works, and there is no need to change the style of singing this song, I hope that Party A had better not change the singer.
Because this is a custom order.
If they are satisfied with the song, but are not satisfied with the singer, they can directly find other singers to replace it, after all, people buy the copyright of the song, so Lin Zhibai has to grasp it well.
"Crimson, add some more!"
After the success of the TV series "Hurricane", Lin Zhibai obtained a skill point, which he deliberately saved and did not use, this time in order to ensure that Party A did not replace himself as a singer, he directly added the skill point to the vocal music to improve his singing skills.
Ding dong!
System: "Done." ”
Lin Zhibai looked at the personal data panel.
Originally, the vocal music was forty-two, but after adding points, the vocal music became forty-three, which is not a particularly big improvement, but it would be better for him.
Subsequently.
Lin Zhibai began to make songs.
Of course, it won't take long to make a song, but Lin Zhibai hopes that this song can be released next month, and maybe he can win the first place on the season list, because the number one on this month's season list is "Borrow Another 500 Years from the Sky", and there is no need to beat yourself.
Three days later.
The song is complete.
Lin Zhibai sent it to Jiang Cheng, and specially reminded him to send it to Party A later, if this song is released this month, the benefits cannot be maximized, and now the first is his own "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years", and the second is Zhou Handu's new song, the ranking is almost stable, this song released in the name of Chu Ci, if it is also forcibly released this month, the best ending is to get a second place, and it is impossible to be the opponent of the emperor's song.
"Don't worry."
Jiang Cheng smiled after hearing this.
"Party A's side also means this, because Zhang Peiheng's customized impression song won the first place on the season list, so they hope that the propaganda song written by Chu Ci can also win the first place on the season list, so that there will be a hot topic of the movie, but this month's competition for stars has become fierce, Baidi and Zhou Gewang are the top two on the list, there is no need to mix in it again, and it is too late in time."
"That's good."
This month, Chu Ci will definitely not be able to win the first place.
However, Lin Zhibai thinks that it should not be a big problem for this song to win the first place on the season list next month.
Chu Ci has a strong appeal in the ancient style circle, plus the movie crew will also help to promote, this song must have attracted widespread attention as soon as it was released, you must know that this song is the theme song of the large-scale online game Tianlong Babu series of Sohu in the previous life, both the quality and popularity have been verified by the market in the previous life, and it belongs to the kind that many passers-by who are not familiar with Lao Xu can hum two sentences.
"That's right."
Jiang Cheng suddenly said something.
"Tianguang has already started filming the drama "Conquest", and all the heroes and heroines are first-line actors, it is said that they originally wanted to let the super-first-line actor play the actor Liu Huaqiang, but Tianguang's super-first-line actors really don't fit Liu Huaqiang's image, and they have no choice but to find first-line actors, their fame and popularity are a little worse than that of the super-first-line, but the image is very in line with the script setting, and the acting skills are also very powerful."
"Hmm."
After all, this drama has only started filming, and there must be some time before it is officially broadcast, so Lin Zhibai didn't care too much.
……
In the following days, in the crew of the movie "Soldiers in the City", almost every day, someone asked if the propaganda song was written.
"How much longer?"
"It's the middle of the month!"
"You guys are too anxious, how can it be so easy for a composer to write a song, even if we rush it, we have to give people time to create, if it is written too fast, how can the quality be guaranteed, but we have indicated on the list that it must be written before the end of the month, otherwise we will not be able to rush to the season list next month, only this movie promotional song will rush to the top of the season list, in order to bring heat and attention to our movie."
"Can you catch up?"
"I hope so."
"Emperor Bai's impression song is the first on the season list, can this movie promotional song written by Chu Ci also win the first place on the season list, I feel a little difficult, don't you say that the custom list is a test of the composer's ability to write proposition music?"
"It's okay."
"We don't ask for the first either."
"It's good to be able to get the top three."
"The song written by Chu Ci should be in the top three."
"Don't forget that the subject matter is what he does best."
Chu Ci has only released two songs so far, both of which have won the season chart, which is one of the reasons why the crew is looking for him, but Chu Ci has no experience in creating soundtracks for film and television dramas after all, so everyone has no score in their hearts, and what they ask for will naturally be lowered, after all, "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years" is really too classic, and even the singer Zhou Han can't resist it.
That's when it happened.
The producer suddenly sent a message in the crew group: "Chu Ci's song has been sent, Director Gao and I are about to listen to it, how to go back and say it in the group." ”
Crash!
There was an uproar in the group!
The producer put down his mobile phone, looked at Gao Xingyue next to him and said: "These people know that they are urging in the group every day, but Chu Ci's song is written very quickly, and it has only been done in half a month." ”
"I don't know what the quality is."
Gao Xingyue was inevitably nervous at the moment.
The producer took a deep breath, "Then listen to it, Chu Ci is also good to write it so quickly, but if you are not satisfied, we can directly call back and ask him to revise it." ”
Gao Xingyue nodded.
The two of them are at the producer's residence at the moment, and the producer's home has a high-end stereo, and he directly connects the device to play it.
Lyrics: Chu Ci
Composer: Chu Ci
Arranger: Chu Ci
Singing: Chu Ci
Song Title: Smoke and Sand in the Half of the City
The instrumental prelude sounded.
This was followed by Chu Ci's singing.
"Some love is like a broken paper kite, the ending is sad and the rest of the hand is on the line, some hate is like a circle, and the grievances cannot be repaid, just to complete a long-cherished wish, and will pay a lot of blood, loyal words, and self-deceptive lies......"
Well?
The producer's eyes flickered.
Gao Xingyue was also slightly stunned.
Gao Xingyue and the producer just imagined this promotional song at the beginning, it was the kind of heroic and wanton opening and closing, but they didn't expect that the tone of Chu Ci's song was not high, and the voice was definitely not too big, and the lyrics had very cultural connotations.
But this song ......
Doesn't that seem like a good way to write that?
"Some love into the suffering, the moon and sunset between the windows, some hatred hidden but speechless, the belly turns the wind and snow into a sword, just to complete a long-cherished wish, how to distinguish the evil in the chaos, flying sand and wolf smoke, will be chaotic and I will have sorrow in vain......"
Between melodies.
The producer's mind wanders.
Gao Xingyue stared at the lyrics with both eyes, as if she had been hit by something, it turned out that she didn't need to pretend to be heroic, as long as she used a strong rhythm to show the impact of war on personal fate, she could also show the effect of her own heart!
Wrong.
The song written by Chu Ci is even better than the effect he originally wanted, this song is clearly writing the Zen-like speculative theme of "war and peace", and the singer's quiet interpretation seems to show a slightly lazy bystander posture, waiting for a battle that is about to break out, but this indifferent and careless attitude highlights the cold and cruelty of war more and more!
At this time.
The chorus sounds.
It seems that the sand is flying and the wolf smoke is everywhere, and all the emotions of the whole song explode at this moment, and the lyrics are crystal clear between the true and false voices:
"Half of the city
Soldiers are coming to the city
Jin Ge Iron Horse
Fight for whom
One will become ten thousand bones
How much white hair goes away with black hair
Half of the city smoke and sand fell with the wind
There is still a wisp of concern in his hand
I just want to return to the field and unload my armor
You can also get your tea back......"
Gao Xingyue looked at the sentence "One will become ten thousand bones" in the lyrics blankly, as if a lightning bolt struck her brain, this sentence is exactly the theme of the movie she wants to express!
There is no Tang Dynasty in this world.
And the so-called "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither" is from Lin Zhibai's previous Tang Dynasty poet Cao Song's "Jihai Years Two Songs".
There is a famous quote in it that has been passed down through the ages:
With your words, you will succeed in ten thousand bones!
There is no such poem in this world, so Gao Xingyue was directly shocked by this lyrics, and at the same time, Chu Ci even perfectly integrated the movie name "Soldiers in the City" into the chorus, without the slightest bluntness and deliberateness!
"Half of the city
Tears of blood fell
Remnant Cavalry Cracked Armor
Spread the world
The reincarnated swallow is still in the old bed
Bringing you the flowers of February......"
The song finally ended, and Gao Xingyue admitted that all he was thinking about before was the quality of Chu Ci's song, and how much the gap was compared with Emperor Bai's "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years", but now he doesn't care about these anymore, because he likes this song from the bottom of his heart!
The White Emperor's song is the perfect imperial song!
But Chu Ci is the most suitable song for his movie!
Gao Xingyue is a director with a strong artistic pursuit, and he is not singing the praises of war when he shoots "Soldiers in the City", but yearning for peace!
It's like the male lead of the movie.
The male protagonist yearns for not the king at all.
He is very similar to the person sung in the song, but he is looking forward to returning to the field and removing his armor, and he can also get back the cup of hot tea made by his wife, and Chu Ci's song emphasizes this point: Who is fighting for the world? How much white send brunette? The reincarnated swallow is also the flower of February......
"That's it!"
Gao Xingyue said without hesitation.
The producer smiled, "I think so too, we don't need to insist on competing with the song of the White Emperor, what suits us is the best." ”
Just avoid your opponent's edges.
Next month is the stage for this song!
Today's guarantee is completed, and the next chapter will be updated
