Chapter 106 The soundtrack is not easy
The drama has finally been completed, but that doesn't mean it's over! The task of most of the crew members is completed, but as directors and actors, the task is still far from being completed!
It was a very annoying job later, and I had to admit this. After Chu Yue finished recording, he had to be busy with the soundtrack. When it comes to the soundtrack, Chu Yue was certainly not the main contestant. He is now the deputy to a senior musician, learning how to make these movie soundtracks!
"The music of movies is not as simple as imagined. When making pop songs, as long as the composer is more productive, he can make a song within a few days! As for whether it can be matched with the lyrics, it is what the producers need to consider!" After this senior made up his mind to make this movie, he stopped making movies, and this time he just thought it was supporting newcomers!
Chu Yue nodded thoughtfully, yes, pop music is different from movie music. Pop music first composes and then writes lyrics, which is much less difficult, while movie music is about making lyrics first and then composing. The so-called lyrics are actually the film itself.
Movie music is to present some emotions and emotions with the film, so the film can indeed be called another form of lyrics! If you want to compose music based on the lyrics, it is not difficult to add up, but it is definitely not something you can do with a little brain!
Seeing that Chu Yue had some understanding, the seniors smiled with relief. As the people who make Hong Kong films prosper and decline, they certainly hope to do their best! Perhaps, cultivating newcomers is a great way: "My experience is that as a soundtrack, you must thoroughly understand the whole drama and communicate with the director frequently. It is best to follow the crew's shooting until the later stage! If you have a deep understanding, it will be much easier, so it takes time to make a movie soundtrack!"
"If there is not enough time, you cannot understand a plot or even a detail in depth! In that way, you will not be able to understand the sentiment and emotions, and cannot make the most matching music!" The senior smiled and continued to teach Chu Yue his experience: "Usually, electronic music is used to make music, but real experts are never limited to electronic music, but choose other single or re-edited instruments! In this regard, Hollywood is still very powerful!"
Chu Yue blinked. When it comes to action movies, of course, electronic music is the best, which is the easiest to present intense and rhythmic sense! If it is other plays, such as costume dramas, you can use Chinese classical instruments, which will be more charming. Thinking of this, I immediately raised my own question!
The senior frowned, not sure whether it was a surprise or a joy: "I haven't seen a soundtrack with a truly pure instrument for a long time, especially the classical Chinese. In terms of application, you must be very cautious. The audience today may not be able to take that set!"
After receiving the teachings of his predecessors, Chu Yue roughly had a good understanding of the soundtrack. The next soundtrack became much easier to get started. He took out some of the soundtracks he created during the shooting process and asked the predecessor to determine where to place it should be placed. The predecessor just smiled at him: "This is what you did, you should know more about where this will be!"
"Me?" Chu Yue was surprised. He did it according to his own feelings. He hesitated for a moment and took out a piece of paper in his pocket. He forgot what plot was the corresponding plot when composing. Soon, he placed one of the extremely intense and surging electronic music on the scene where Huang Tianwei hung down on the rooftop.
The senior was surprised and looked at him carefully: "You did it right. This is a comedy, so putting this intense music here will invisibly create a funny atmosphere. On another aspect, such music use can also be called the accumulation of atmosphere. When the plot of the play reaches a burst point, then the preparation and brewing will burst out, double the effect!"
However, what surprised him even more was that Chu Yue actually made a lot of soundtracks in the process, enough for this drama to use! He never expected that the most difficult speed problem of the soundtrack was solved at this moment, and he said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "With your composition level, if you come to Global, you will definitely be the number one position!" This senior is working at Global, and it was difficult for them to invite him!
"Global Company is too big, I think I still need to hone in a small company!" Chu Yue smiled relievedly. There was actually not much difference between Global or Jiasheng, at least for him!
After completing the movie music, there are still movie songs left. There is no doubt that this song must be sung by Chu Yuelai. Although Chu Yue wrote a song during filming, it was affectionate and completely incompatible with this drama!
A drama usually has theme songs, interludes and ending songs. This drama does not have many tricks, and only plans to make theme songs and ending songs! In order to talk about the songs, Zhu Xiaotian had to talk about the people from Universal Records Company to which Peier belongs to and Jiasheng Company!
After this talk, Zhu Xiaotian was so shocked that his eyes were about to roll on the ground. It turned out that the film would mostly have to pay a lot of money to the company, as much as seven digits, as little as six digits. The person from Universal Records, who is also Peier's second record producer, smiled: "I don't know when this drama will be released. Once I understand this, let's talk about other things!"
Chu Yue and Zhu Xiaotian exchanged a look, staring at each other in confusion. With Tu Jianyuan and Jiang Zicheng, it is still a huge question whether this drama can be released now. How dare they guarantee it!
The producer was extremely discouraged when he saw the two of them: "Peer's second record will be released in July. If your play is released before, it will play a promotional role and the song will be used for nothing! If not, then he has to stay and make a single in the future!" It seems that he has compromised, and there is no way. There is also the relationship between Chu Yue and Peier, so there is nothing to tolerant!
The negotiation was made, but there were other problems that were not resolved. When Pei'er's song was mentioned as an episode, Zhu Xiaotian denied it: "No, it doesn't work with this drama at all. This drama is not love, it must not be like that!" This move surprised the people of Global and Jiasheng.
In fact, Zhu Xiaotian and Chu Yue are very clear that these movies and songs now have almost nothing to do with the story and plot of the movie, and even the atmosphere cannot be set off! Many times, the scenes of interludes in the movie are mostly the requirements of the record company!
However, Zhizhi, Zhu Xiaotian still couldn't tolerate such a thing happening in his play! Lin Ling, who was beside Chu Yue, made a suggestion: "It's better to put Pei'er's song at the end of the film, and A Yue's as an interlude!"
After thinking about it, I can only accept this way. A song that doesn’t match the film is placed at the end of the film, which actually has not had much impact on the film. Of course, the reason why Zhu Xiaotian agreed to play Chu Yue’s song as an interlude was because Chu Yue agreed to write a song related to the film!
After all this was negotiated and when they all left, Zhu Xiaotian finally said angrily: "What do these people regard my plays as? Can you just insert songs? Then I would rather not shoot them!" Young people with ideals always have some of their own persistence!
"That's nothing. Du Qifeng has compromised. Isn't the ending song of "The Underworld" such an example?" Lin Ling took a sip of white water with an elegant expression: "Besides, if you become a big director, the record company will ask you to give you money to insert songs!"
Chu Yue and Zhu Xiaotian looked at Lin Ling in surprise. They didn't know that there was something else! Lin Ling even glanced at them unexpectedly: "Don't you know? A drama without a big director and a big star needs to use songs, and most of the crew needs to use songs. However, a drama with a big director and a big star needs to use songs, and most of the record company needs to use songs!"
It's actually very simple and interesting. Sometimes, the crew mostly pays a lot of money for a song to appear in the play. But sometimes, the record company also pays a lot of money for a song to appear in the play! The relationship between this is always very complicated!
You must do what you promised. This is Chu Yue's style. He can be a rogue, but it cannot be changed at this point. Therefore, for several days, he has been with Lin Rui and Zhao Jinsheng, talking about music and everything, and looking for a creative feeling!
When talking about the video, Chu Yue felt aroused: "Arui, have you ever thought about writing a script?" Yes, Lin Rui's major is Chinese, and he must have great advantages in this regard!
"Script..." Lin Rui looked at Chu Yue in shock. He really hadn't considered this aspect. He had tried to write the novel: "I haven't tried it, but I might try it in the future! By the way, I've written the words you want!"
After taking the lyrics handed over by Lin Rui, Chu Yue admired them and praised them very much. Lin Rui is indeed the most like the ancient madman. He is very talented. This time the lyrics are completely different from the style of the last time. Last time, he was very sad, but this time he was very close to the common people: "You are really good, this feels a bit like Xu Guanjie's song back then, very popular!"
"If I hadn't had the experience of these years, I might not have been able to write it out!" Lin Rui took Chu Yue's praise without hesitation. He had few friends, and Chu Yue did not have many friends, but he was very close because of his personality. Especially Chu Yue's keen sense of music made him admire it very much.
When Lin Rui remembered the movie, he was a little moved. If he could make a movie, it would be a waste of his talent! In music, he could work perfectly with Chu Yue, and maybe he could do it in movies. However, before that, he had to at least understand what Chu Yue could perform in movies, otherwise he might not be happy!
Appreciating Lin Rui's words, Chu Yue kept chanting silently in his mind, quickly strung together in his mind, and unconsciously chanting it in his mouth: "Even if the sky collapses and the earth breaks, it will not stop me from showing my talent and knowledge in my heart, and use my grand and passionate blood... Even if the road ahead is dark and confused, it will not stop the sun's light..."
Gradually, Chu Yue tasted some of Lin Rui's psychology here. Perhaps what is written in this word is exactly what Lin Rui thought and showed his ambitions. As he thought about it, he was a little excited. He experienced a feeling of light guidance even if it was dark. It was an inspiration, and at the same time it was a promise like a vow!
As they hummed, the lyrics that Chu Yue pronounced gradually increased some melody, and gradually some wonderful tone that inspired people to strive for courage! Lin Rui and Zhao Jinsheng knew Chu Yue's mistake of forgetfulness and writing songs according to their feelings. They looked at each other and smiled, took out their phone to start recording!
For Chu Yue, every time he creates a song, it is a strange experience. He is completely addicted to it, forgetting everything, only his own music! In fact, it is not just him, other composers have this, but he is not as addicted as he is!
When he woke up from this wonderful world, he saw Lin Rui and Zhao Jinsheng looking at him with a smile. Lin Rui even gave a thumbs up and praised him: "Just edit it again, this song is definitely not inferior to "Broken Stars". You are so good!" That's it, but Lin Rui also understood that it felt the most wonderful. Once he felt it right, he could even write ten words that he was very satisfied with in one breath. Without feeling, everything he wrote was rubbish!
The lyrics are top-notch and the music is also top-notch. As long as the arrangement is not too bad, it will definitely be a top-notch song! Of course, Lin Rui wrote the lyrics, Chu Yue composed the lyrics, and Zhao Jinsheng was responsible for the arrangement. After talking about other things, Wu Jiahua called and asked the three of them to rush to the company immediately!
When they arrived at Jiasheng Company, Wu Jiahua, Luo Xinzhong and Lin Ling were all there. They all looked serious and seemed to have something big! However, before the formal talk, Chu Yue told the story of making the song. Wu Jiahua waved his hand indifferently and glanced at Lin Rui: "A Yue, I don't plan to be the producer of your second album."
Lin Rui and Chu Yue were shocked. No matter how good Wu Jiahua is, he is a famous producer in the industry, and has promoted many famous singers. If it weren't for him, what kind of experts could make Chu Yue's new album? Wu Jiahua obviously saw their suspicion and pointed at Lin Rui: "Your new album is made by A Rui, and I knew his talent during the last collaboration. He captured your characteristics and characteristics better, so it's better to do it..."
