Chapter 441
It is said that bad movies can produce great songs. Many people think that the song "Big Fish" is a good example for the animated film "Big Fish and Begonia".
Although "Big Fish and Begonia" cannot be said to be a bad movie, the theme and plot of this Chinese animated film have also caused quite a bit of controversy. In terms of its Chinese style aesthetics, it is indeed inferior in narrative.
But the theme song was widely acclaimed and made many people know the singer Zhou Shen for the first time.
This song was later regarded as a classic, partly due to Zhou Shen's performance and partly due to the quality of the song itself.
Based on the Chinese folk yu mode, through the exquisite structure, the low hum of the main song, the lightness of the chorus, and the sublimation of the final chant, it constructs an ethereal, profound and flowing oriental rhythm.
The poetic lyrics, rich visuals and profound meaning tell the story of protection and sacrifice.
The emotions are complex and sincere.
The melody and lyrics blend perfectly together, creating a natural artistic conception.
Coupled with the singing voice endowed by Lu Qingfeng's heavenly voice, this song, like the previous life, burst out with huge energy as soon as it was released.
Oh my god, I was completely captivated by the stage for five minutes while watching the show. My grandmother, who usually only listens to opera, listened attentively to the whole show with me and said that this person must be a star.
[It sounds so good. How can someone make such a dreamy sound? ]
[It has been added to the must-listen list and is on repeat. 】
……
The previous two songs won by their emotions. It’s not that they are not classic enough, but the focus is different.
Whether it's "Fire Color Paradise" or "I Once Wanted to End It All", the creators have incorporated the trauma and emotions of real-life experiences into the songs, and naturally leaned towards this direction in composing the lyrics.
"Big Fish" is different. As a movie theme song with mythological elements, this song emphasizes the theme of grand narrative and then focuses on the melody.
So this song is really nice.
I still feel that it sounds good when I take it out after a while.
If we previously speculated that this contestant was Lu Qingfeng, now we have actual evidence. Everyone still remembers the chanting part in "Sounds Entering the Ears." Although the melody is different, the voice is exactly the same.
[Yes, at that time we discussed for a long time who was singing it. Who would have thought it was Xiao Lu himself?]
【What else can't this man do? 】
……
After the entire network tracked down his identity last week, this episode of the program, as Lu Qingfeng had hoped, allowed the outside world to completely confirm his identity, followed by discussions about the last episode.
[The production team really understands this and directly changed it to a live broadcast.]
The voting rules have also changed, and it's likely to be combined with the live broadcast. I originally thought that Jay would definitely be the final singing king, but now the result is uncertain.
Lu Qingfeng is also really strong. His singing skills may seem a little off now, but his songs are very appealing and his voice is impressive. Ultimately, it all comes down to his performance.
[This is interesting. I’ve booked a live broadcast for that night.]
……
The popularity of the program has soared, and the ratings of this episode have reached the first place.
The program team also began to increase its efforts to promote the last episode.
The main focus is naturally on the match between Lu Qingfeng and Huo Yingjie.
While the online discussion was in full swing, Lu Qingfeng quietly came to the Yanjing TV building to rehearse and pre-record a main stage performance.
Although it is a live broadcast, there is actually a 30-second lead time. We are worried that some uncontrollable situations will arise in the middle and there will be time to deal with them.
Everything else is fine, except for the stage performances, when something happens, it’s difficult to intervene. If an accident does happen, we’ll play the pre-recorded footage.
This is more common at parties.
Also because it is a live broadcast, the pressure on the singers is different. Although the scene remains the same, they will be affected to some extent just by thinking about how many people are watching them.
It also requires constant rehearsal to maintain the condition.
After finishing the third rehearsal of the week, Lu Qingfeng said goodbye to director Wang Siting and other staff members.
"These two new songs seem to be his response to the online accusations last week that he was playing on the victim. It's quite interesting."
After seeing off the boy and his agent, Wang Siting and the people around her said with a smile.
"A young man of this age will definitely not tolerate being slandered. Mainly because he is talented and capable, he immediately wrote an article to respond. Now he is fighting back with his singing. That's great. It will definitely be a hot topic."
The first person to speak was a backing vocalist invited by the program team.
Wang Siting nodded and saw the music director beside her thinking about something.
"What's wrong, Lao Xiao?"
Lao Xiao's full name is Xiao Qiang. He is a teacher at the Central Conservatory of Music and also a big name in the industry. He has great attainments in folk, pop and other music styles, and has worked with many powerful singers.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just remembered a friend's request, and then when I heard you guys talking, I remembered it."
He came to his senses and said.
"You're talking about Mr. Wang Hailin, right? Didn't you say you were going to compose the soundtrack for Big Brother Chen's new movie? What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Wang Siting was very familiar with him and their social circles overlapped. After hearing what he said, she guessed what he was talking about.
"Yes, that's the thing. Last time I was drinking with him, he said the soundtrack was almost done, but the theme song issue hadn't been resolved yet."
Wang Hailin is one of the top composers in China. In addition to being involved in mainstream pop music, he mainly works on film and television soundtracks and has his own studio.
Audition, visual effects.
A good film or TV drama must also put effort into the sound effects, especially those for the big screen.
It is a common practice to create a theme song for a movie that fits the plot, can set the mood, deepen the emotions, and facilitate early publicity.
"Is that the one about traveling back to the Qin Dynasty?"
The singing teacher next to him asked curiously.
Xiao Qiang nodded, there was nothing he couldn't say.
Big Brother Chen is the Hong Kong international superstar Chen Yuanlong. The film starring him was launched in 2019 and has been promoted continuously since the filming stage. The outside world probably knows what the story is about.
This film was led by the eldest brother's own film and television company, and invested and produced in conjunction with several domestic and South Korean entertainment companies. He himself played the male lead, and the female lead was known as the most beautiful woman in South Korea.
It is an absolute blockbuster. Not long after the project was launched, the overseas release has been confirmed.
The time is set for the summer vacation in July this year.
"Do you want to try with Lu Qingfeng?"
"I had this idea. You know, this movie is actually controlled by Brother Long. The producer and director are just tools. He basically has the final say on the theme song."
"The requirements for this song are quite special. Many musicians have tried, but none of them have met the requirements."
"Lu Qingfeng is young, has a sharp mind, and has a variety of musical styles. I think he might have some ideas."
Xiao Qiang expressed his thoughts.
"You can ask."
Wang Siting said.
"But we have to wait until our show is over. We can't distract him now."
"I know this."
The music director nodded.
