Chapter 126 What suits you is the best
Jiang Cheng quickly sent over the customization requirements for the promotional song for Gao Xingyue's movie. Party A's general request was actually the same:
Songs should be combined with the plot of the movie!
The movie roughly tells the story of a smug young man who decided to join the army. After bidding farewell to his beautiful wife, he began his military career.
Years later.
The man made great achievements in battle and became a general, but he was exhausted both physically and mentally. He actually had the idea of disbanding his troops and returning to his fields. But at this time, the enemy army was about to attack the city where he was located. Seeing that a war was inevitable...
The name of the movie is "At the Battle of the City".
The plot summary given by Party A is very general, and the specific content is definitely much more than what is introduced. However, if it is too specific, it will make the creation of customized songs more difficult, which is enough.
It shouldn’t be difficult.
Lin Zhibai was so inspired that he started his own creation directly, "Crimson, according to Party A's requirements, customize a song that fits the plot!"
Ding dong.
Hong Kong instantly noticed the elements and quickly customized a song: "Congratulations to the host for winning the song "Half City of Smoke and Sand"!"
sure!
Scarlet Red was so considerate that she even customized Lao Xu's song directly for Lin Zhibai. The lyrics of this song matched the plot of the movie very well, and the quality was also remarkable, not inferior to Chu Ci's first two songs. Song!
Lin Zhibai was very satisfied.
It just so happens that the first two songs of Chu Ci are also the works of Lao Xu. There is no need to change the style of singing this song. I hope Party A will not change the singer.
Because this is a customized order.
Party A's custom order usually only requires lyrics and music, and the singer will consider it as appropriate. If they are satisfied with the song but not satisfied with the singer, they can directly find another singer to replace it. After all, they are buying the copyright of lyrics and music, so Lin Zhibai Have to grasp it well.
“Crimson, add some more!”
After the success of the TV series "Hurry Up", Lin Zhibai gained a skill point and deliberately saved it without using it. This time, in order to ensure that Party A did not replace him as a singer, he directly added the skill point to his vocals to improve his singing skills. Singing skills.
Ding dong!
System: "Add points to complete."
Lin Zhibai looked at the personal data panel.
Originally, the vocal score was forty-two, but after adding points, the vocal score became forty-three. The improvement is not particularly great, but for him it would be better if it could be better.
Subsequently.
Lin Zhibai began to compose 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 it can win the first place on the season chart, because the number one on the season chart this month is "Borrow From Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years", which didn't happen. You have to fight yourself.
Three days later.
The song is completed.
Lin Zhibai sent it to Jiang Cheng, specifically reminding him to send it to Party A later. If he released this song this month, he would not be able to maximize his profits. Moreover, the number one song now is his own "Borrow From Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years". The second is Zhou Hanjin’s new song. The ranking is almost stable. If this song released in the name of Chu Ci is forced to be released this month, the best ending will be to take second place. It cannot be The rival of that imperial song.
"rest assured."
Jiang Cheng smiled after hearing this.
"Party A also means the same thing. Because the impression song customized by Zhang Peiheng won the first place on the season chart, they hope that the promotional song written by Chu Ci will also win the first place on the season chart, so that the movie topic will become popular. However, this month The competition among celebrities has become fierce, Bai Di and Zhou Gewang are the top two on the list, there is no need to get involved in it, and there is no time."
"That's good."
This month Chu Ci's song will definitely not take the first place.
However, Lin Zhibai thinks it won’t be a big problem for this song to take the first place on the season chart next month.
Chu Ci has a strong appeal in the ancient style circle, and the film crew will also help promote it. This song will definitely attract widespread attention as soon as it is released. You must know that this song was the theme of Sohu's large-scale online game Tianlong Babu series in the previous life. The quality and popularity of the song have been verified by the market in previous lives, and it is the kind that many passers-by who are not familiar with Lao Xu can hum a few lines.
"correct."
Jiang Cheng suddenly mentioned something.
"Tianguang has started filming the drama "Conquer". The male and female protagonists are all A-list actors. It is said that they originally wanted to cast a super A-list actor Liu Huaqiang, but those super A-list actors in Tianguang are really It doesn’t quite fit Liu Huaqiang’s image, so I had no choice but to find an A-list actor. His fame and popularity are a bit worse than those of an A-list actor, but his image fits the script very well, and his acting skills are also very good.”
"Um."
After all, the filming of this drama has just started, and it will definitely be some time before it is officially broadcast, so Lin Zhibai did not pay too much attention to it.
…
In the following days, almost every day in the crew group of the movie "Attack on the Wall", people asked whether the promotional song was written well.
“How long will it take?”
“It’s the middle of the month!”
"You are too anxious. It is not that easy for a songwriter to write a song. Even if we are urgent, we still have to give people time to create. If we write too fast, how can we guarantee the quality? However, we have specified a certain amount on our list. It needs to be written before the end of the month, otherwise it won’t be able to reach the season charts next month. Only if this movie promotional song reaches the top of the season charts can it bring heat and attention to our movie.”
“Can you catch up?”
“I hope so.”
"The impression song by Bai Di ranks first on the season charts. Can this movie promotional song written by Chu Ci also rank first on the season charts? It feels a little difficult. Custom orders are a test for composers to write propositions. Musical ability?”
"it does not matter."
“We don’t ask for first place either.”
“It’s enough if you can get into the top three.”
“The song written by Chu Ci should be in the top three.”
“Don’t forget that the subject matter is ancient style, which he is best at.”
Chu Ci has only released two songs so far, both of which topped the season chart. This is one of the reasons why the crew sought him out. However, after all, Chu Ci has no experience in composing soundtracks for film and television dramas, so everyone has no idea what to ask for. Naturally, I lowered my voice. After all, "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years" is so classic that even the singing king Zhou Hanjin couldn't resist it.
at this time.
The producer suddenly sent a message to the crew group: "Chu Ci's song has been sent over. Director Gao and I are about to listen to it. Please tell us in the group later how to do it."
The group was suddenly in an uproar!
The producer put down his cell phone, looked at Gao Xingyue next to him and said, "These people are always urging me in the group every day, but Chu Ci wrote this song very quickly, and it was completed in just half a month. ” ˆ ˆ “I don’t know what the quality is.”
The producer took a deep breath and said, "Then let's have a listen. It's good to have Chuci written so quickly. But if we're not satisfied with anything, we can just call him back and ask him to revise it."
Gao Xingyue nodded.
The two of them were at the producer's residence at the moment. The producer had a high-end stereo in his home, and he directly connected the equipment to play it.
Lyrics written by: Chu Ci
Composer: Chu Ci
Arranger: Songs of Chu
Singer: Songs of Chu
Song title: Half the City in Smoke and Sand
The musical instruments started playing.
Then came the singing of Chu Ci.
“Some love is like a broken paper kite, with a tragic ending that is left in the hand. Some hate is like a circle, with grievances and grievances never being resolved. Just to fulfill a long-cherished wish, how much blood, loyal words, and lies will be spent to deceive oneself and others..."
Um?
The producer’s eyes flashed.
Gao Xingyue was also slightly startled.
Gao Xingyue and the producer initially imagined that this promotional song would be bold and unrestrained, but they did not expect that the tune of Chu Ci's song was not high, and the voice was definitely not loud. The lyrics have great cultural connotations.
But this song...
Writing like this seems good?
"Some feelings are lingering after suffering, the moon is shining brightly outside the window, some hatred is hidden but silent, the wind and snow in the belly are turned into swords, just to fulfill a long-cherished wish, how to distinguish between evil and good in the chaos, flying sand and wolf smoke, will lead to chaos I feel so sad..."
Between the melody.
The producer is in a state of confusion.
Gao Xingyue, on the other hand, stared closely at the lyrics, as if he was hit by something. It turns out that there is no need to pretend to be heroic, as long as he uses a strong rhythm to show the influence of war on personal destiny, he can also show the effect of his own thoughts!
Wrong.
The song written by Chu Ci was even better than what he originally wanted. This song is clearly about the Zen-like speculative theme of "war and peace." The singer's calm and calm performance seems to show A slightly lazy bystander attitude, waiting for a fight that is about to break out, but this indifferent and careless attitude only highlights the cold cruelty of war!
At this moment.
The chorus sounded.
As if sand and dust are flying and smoke is flying, all the emotions of the whole song burst out at this moment, and the lyrics are engraved word by word between true and false voices:
“Half the city is full of smoke and sand
The troops approach the city
Gold and Iron Horse
For whom to fight for the world?
One will turn into ten thousand bones and wither
How many white hairs take away black hairs?
Half the city is filled with smoke and sand blowing down with the wind
There is still a trace of concern in my hand
Just looking forward to returning to the fields and taking off my armor
I can also take home the tea you brewed..."
Gao Xingyue stared blankly at the sentence in the lyrics, "One will become a thousand bones withered", as if a bolt of lightning struck in his brain. This sentence is exactly the theme of the movie that he wants to express!
There is no Tang Dynasty in this world.
The so-called "one general's success and ten thousand bones withered" comes from Lin Zhibai's "One of Two Poems for the Year of Ji Hai" written by Cao Song, a poet from the Tang Dynasty in Lin Zhibai's previous life.
There is a famous saying that has been passed down through the ages:
There is no such poem in this world, so Gao Xingyue was directly shocked by the lyrics. At the same time, Chu Ci even perfectly integrated the movie title "At the Gate of the City" into the chorus, without any harshness or deliberateness!
“Half the city is full of smoke and sand
Blood and tears fell
Hybrid Cavalry and Cracked Armor
Reincarnated Yan returns to his old bed
Bringing February flowers for you..."
The song finally ended. Gao Xingyue admitted that all he could think about before was the quality of Chu Ci's song and how far it compared with Bai Di's song "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years", but now he no longer cares. That's all, because he loves this song from the bottom of his heart!
That song by Bai Di is the perfect emperor’s song!
But this song by Chuci is the most suitable for my movie!
Gao Xingyue is a director with strong artistic pursuits. When he made "The Enemy", he was not praising war, but yearning for peace!
Like the hero of the movie.
What the male protagonist longs for is not to be crowned king or general.
He is very similar to the man sung in the song, but he is looking forward to returning to the fields, taking off his armor, and taking back the cup of hot tea brewed by his wife. This is emphasized in every sentence of the song Chu Ci: Who will fight for the world for whom? How much white hair does it cost to send black hair? The reincarnated Yan returned to his old bed and brought February flowers to you...
“That’s it!”
Gao Xingyue said without hesitation.
The producer smiled, "I think so too. We don't have to compete with Bai Di's song. The one that suits us is the best."
Just avoid the opponent's sharp edge.
This song will be on stage next month!
The guarantee is completed today and will be updated in the next chapter.
