139 [Heaven, Earth and Earth]

Xiao's "Sound and Sex" is scheduled to be released on August 19th.

It's August 10th, and the post-production of the movie is only half done.

Editing, dubbing, soundtracking, subtitles, color tuning, printing, etc., all processes must be stepped up.

Therefore, in the next few days, Ye Jin and Ding Shanxi could only work overtime and work day and night.

When I am sleepy, I lie down and sniff my sleep, and then continue working after waking up.

Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating on the set of Jiahe, which can be said to be quite hard.

On the evening of August 11, the fine cut version of the movie was finally completed.

Then, special effects such as dubbing, soundtracking, and subtitles began.

...

After receiving the task of assembling the theme song for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Huang Zhan began to design the soundtrack for this movie.

Originally, Ye Jin did not make it to the pace, so he gave Huang Zhan half a month. Such time can be said to be quite sufficient.

But now Zou Wenhuai insists on "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Sound and Sex". In this way, the time left for Huang Zhan's soundtrack is only six days at most.

Such a short time made Ye Jin worried that Huang Zhan would not complete the task.

Because there are sixty-three places where "The Gods" need to be music, all of which need to be made of original music, and on average, ten songs are composen a day, which is not a small number.

For an outsider like Ye Jin, even if he gives him a year, he can't even write a song.

But unexpectedly, on August 14th, Huang Zhan rushed to Jiahe set and took out the song he had compiled.

"Mr. Huang, have you really finished it?" Ye Jin couldn't help but be amazed when he saw the tapes.

"Of course, who hasn't ordered the inventory yet?" Huang Zhan said with a smile.

When Ye Jin heard this, he suddenly realized.

Just like he would hoard scripts, Huang Zhan, as a first-class musician, would definitely have hoarded music scores in his hands. He would be careful that when needed, his inspiration would run out.

"Then let's listen immediately." Ye Jin said immediately.

Huang Zhan nodded, and then played it one by one in the order of the soundtrack.

While playing the soundtrack, Zhang Yaozong also adjusted the film and played the soundtrack screen.

"Well, it's really good." Ye Jin and Ding Shanxi nodded.

Before, they had watched movies without soundtracks and no dubbing. The feeling was very average at that time. To be honest, it even felt boring. But now after adding the soundtrack, the whole picture suddenly became vivid.

Huang Zhan’s soundtrack is really consistent with the plot of the movie. To describe it in one word, it is [a perfect match].

"Mr. Huang, you are truly a musical talent!" Ye Jin gave a thumbs up and praised him sincerely.

"You have to be welcome. In fact, these soundtracks are still a bit insufficient. It's a pity that there is not much time and there is no way to carefully craft it." Huang Zhan said with a little regret.

These days, there are not many filmmakers who are willing to use original soundtracks in movies. In order to save costs, most movies use canned music to use music.

This makes musicians like him often have no use of heroes. No matter how capable they are, they have no stage to display.

This time, "The Gods' Fight" invited him to the soundtrack, but he was actually very excited and wanted to do a good job. However, he didn't expect that the soundtrack he gave him this time was only six days, and in such a short time, he could only barely complete the task.

Although these soundtracks are considered good to outsiders like Ye Jin and Ding Shanxi, but in the eyes of professionals like Huang Zhan, there are still some shortcomings.

"Mr. Huang, I'm really embarrassed this time. We need to hurry up and reduce your time." Ye Jin saw his unwillingness and quickly apologized, "When I work with you next time, I will give you enough time to give you enough room to make good use of it."

"Okay, that's a matter of determination." Huang Zhan smiled happily when he heard this.

"Ye Jin nodded with a smile.

...

"By the way, Mr. Ye, this is the theme song I wrote for you." Huang Zhan handed the song score to Ye Jin.

Ye Jin glanced at him and was attracted by the lyrics.

"It is destined to fight with heaven for a lifetime

Destined to be false and true in life

Who wins and loses the door to success

I can't escape fame and fortune

...

Where is my home

Nothing to fear

What words left behind by the world

Good reputation is reflected in history and people travel to the world"

The lyrics are really in line with the plot of the movie.

The protagonist in "The Gods' Fight" started out as a scammer who was lying around the world and cheated on money in the name of a god, and was greedy for fame and fortune. Later, he repented under the advice of his friends, helped the villagers defeat the bullies, and became a great hero that everyone admired.

The lyrics are really compatible with the protagonist.

"Mr. Huang, your lyrics are very well written." Ye Jin said sincerely.

A talented man is a talented man. He is a person who deceives the world and steals his reputation, and is completely incomparable.

"It's not as good as your song "Men Should Be Self-Enhancing"." Huang Zhan said modestly.

When Ye Jin heard this, he felt a little ashamed.

...

After having the theme song, Ye Jin and Huang Zhan went to the recording studio to record the theme song.

In addition to being a musician and helping others write lyrics and compose music, Huang Zhan is also an excellent music producer. It is very common to help record songs.

Although this song, called "The Great Heaven and Earth", is not as passionate and generous as "Men Should Strengthen Self-Enhancing", it also has a chic and heroic demeanor.

When Ye Jin heard this, he fell in love with this song.

Under Huang Zhan's guidance, he began to record.

"I am destined to be a life, and I will fight with the sky..." Ye Jin sang.

Huang Zhan kept nodding while listening, thinking that Ye Jin was quite talented in singing.

I have already grasped the feeling when I sang this song for the first time.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Ye, I sang very well." After Ye Jin finished singing, Huang Zhan clapped his hands and smiled.

"Mr. Huang, stop praising me, I will be proud." Ye Jin smiled.

He knew that although his singing skills had improved, he was still far behind those real powerful singers. He already understood this when he watched the singer performances on "The Stars".

Huang Zhan laughed and thought this young man was so cute.

"Mr. Ye, are you interested in developing in the music industry? How about I help you make an album?" he smiled again.

"I won't consider it for the time being, I'll have a chance in the future." Ye Jin waved his hand and smiled.

Being a singer and publishing albums involves too much energy.

It takes at least two months for an album to go from recording, release, and promotion. Such a long time is enough for him to make a movie.

His movie pays for one million Hong Kong dollars. An album sells for ten Hong Kong dollars. Even the most popular singers, such as Xu Xiaofeng, Xu Rongjie, Luo Wen and others, will only earn 30% of the commission for an album, which means that an album only earns at most three yuan. Only by selling 330,000 can you earn 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

The Hong Kong market is limited, and the maximum sales of the record is double platinum (100,000 copies), which is already a great sales volume. In terms of calculation, it only makes 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Even if you include Taiwan, Nanyang, and Chinatown markets, the money you earn is at most similar to Ye Jin's pay for filming movies. But if you include the box office share of the movie, it will be far inferior.

Therefore, for Ye Jin, singing can only be an interest.

Once you can do it, you don’t need to take it as a serious matter.
