Chapter 185 Shocking Theme Song(1/2)
Qu Xueyan put on his headphones and clicked the play button.
Li Xingruo's piano skills are pretty good. Although there is only a simple piano accompaniment at the beginning, the poignancy of the melody of this song is already outlined by Li Xingruo's piano sound in the first few notes.
Although the vocals hadn't started singing yet, Qu Xueyan couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard the prelude.
With this melody and Li Xingruo's singing as the background, this song is definitely not that bad.
The moment the prelude sounded, Qu Xueyan knew that this was the theme song he needed. After feeling excited, Qu Xueyan continued to listen.
After a short prelude, the vocal stage begins.
"I can't see through it because of your lost soul; I can't figure it out because of the color of your pupils."
Li Xingruo's singing voice has a trace of sadness, and Ruoyouruowu's crying voice makes this song's poignant interpretation perfect.
What’s even more amazing is the lyrics!
The lyrics of this song perfectly fit the plot of my movie.
The more Qu Xueyan listened, the more excited he became. Sure enough, he still had to ask Zhang Songnian to write the theme song.
"hehe."
——
The complete version of "Painted Skin" with arrangement was quickly given to Qu Xueyan after the recording was completed.
"It's a pity that Mr. Zhang is not willing to come to the composition department to develop, otherwise our Jinyu composition department will definitely be ahead of Xingcan and Menghua." The arranger said with some regret.
Qu Xueyan grinned with satisfaction and said: "Then this matter is settled. The publicity side should pay attention to it. The song in the promotional video must be changed to "Painting Heart". A good theme song for the movie."
The bonus it brings is definitely huge, especially the theme song which is as good as a golden song."
Zhang Songnian's exposure to the world was only a year, within this time.
Regardless of whether it is an arranger or a recording engineer.
Qu Xueyan felt his whole scalp numb. This dolphin sound really shocked him to the core.
He even felt that his movie was not worthy of the song.
It is now the end of the summer season, and the National Day season is still a month away, so it is a low ebb period for the box office market.
The sound engineer looked the arranger up and down, and said with some disdain: "Put me down, are you willing to give up the salary offered by the company?"
"These two are really a match made in heaven. One can write and the other can sing. I have a hunch that the Chinese music scene will soon be dominated by them." After a moment, the arranger couldn't help but sigh.
No matter how high-ranking a songwriter is, they don't have Zhang Songnian's terrifying efficiency and quality.
Finally, he used a new album that was enough to make him a god, pushing Li Xingruo to the top of the Chinese music scene.
However, in the end, among the many versions to choose from, Zhang Songnian and Li Xingruo, and even the sound engineer and arranger next to him, always thought that the first version sung by Li Xingruo was more interesting.
If this song can be used to match the plot of the movie to make a promotional video, it might be able to lure many viewers into the cinema. Who says that literary and artistic films cannot have high box office?
I want to break this curse myself!
After listening to the tailor-made theme song "Painting Heart" written by Zhang Songnian, Qu Xueyan felt confident.
——
Because the arrangement of the song "Painting Heart" uses a lot of string accompaniment, the amount of work involved in the arrangement is very large, and it is obviously not something Zhang Songnian can do on his own.
"I want to change the theme song to this one, who is in favor and who is against it?" Qu Xueyan looked around the crowd and said calmly.
The sound engineer immediately said nervously: "Damn it, please keep your voice down in the company. Don't listen to me through the wall later. I'll be careful if your boss wears your shoes."
"Good day, Director Qu!" the assistant director said while giving a thumbs up.
To put it bluntly, just listening to this song is really enough to fill the picture in my mind.
From the communication process with Zhang Songnian in the past few days, they can be sure that Zhang Songnian has never systematically studied composition. Whether Zhang Songnian has even studied vocal music is the same thing.
The first time he listened to the simple demo of piano + vocals, Qu Xueyan was already amazed.
This opinion highlights a tact.
Then the singing turned into a dolphin sound, directly immersing the listener's emotions. When Qu Xueyan listened to this song, he thought of the fox demon heroine in his movie. When his lover looked at him with a frightened look, he felt so excited in his heart.
A world-destroying struggle, a heart-wrenching sadness.
But I never expected that this song would give people such a strong feeling after it had a complete arrangement.
After the second chorus, Li Xingruo's singing interrupted Qu Xueyan's thinking, which shocked people.
What's even more terrifying is that Zhang Songnian is only in his twenties. If we refer to his past efficiency, next year's top ten golden songs selection will soon become Zhang Songnian's solo show.
The arranger opposite waved his hands in fear and said: "Where is it? It is a great honor for me to be able to participate in the production of this song. If Mr. Zhang still has songs that need to be produced and arranged next time, you can come to him at any time."
us!"
Qu Xueyan looked at the crowd and said: "To tell you something, I thought the theme song of the movie was just average before. After thinking about it, I finally decided to change it."
And I hope Zhang Songnian and Li Xingruo can record this song and give it to him as soon as possible.
Qu Xueyan knows that a good theme song can be a great addition to a movie.
The lyrics of this song are so picturesque that it even made Qu Xueyan feel that such a good song was simply used as the theme song of a movie, and it was even a bit of a waste.
During this process, Zhang Songnian produced at least more than 20 songs, more than half of which are definitely golden songs according to the standards of today's Chinese music scene.
With the addition of orchestral music, the whole song sounds majestic and full of pathos. Coupled with Li Xingruo's sad and faint singing voice, it is full of room for imagination.
The sound engineer curled his lips and said: "I think judging from the situation of the Chinese music scene this year, they are now the world."
The lyrics are well written, the music is even better, and Li Xingruo's singing voice is like the sound of nature.
The next content is relatively simple. Li Xingruo was able to complete it easily the second time he sang this song. In addition, after a week of practice, it only took a few hours to record the song.
time.
Not only that, he is also a musician who combines lyrics and music, which is even more rare.
But such a person is able to write classic hits one after another casually.
He looked at Zhang Songnian as if he were a pervert.
A poignant melody sounded in the conference room. The cello sound was used as the main melody from the beginning of the song, with guitar strings and piano slides interspersed in the middle. The soul-stirring melody, sad and poignant lyrics, and Li Xingruo's gorgeous dolphin voice made the whole song
The sad mood is completely detonated, and the poignancy of this song is highlighted vividly.
The arranger actually thought for a long time, touched his chin and said after thinking: "That's right. But if Mr. Zhang can be in charge of the composition department, I will have no problem even if he becomes the boss. I think many people will support it."
"
The arranger originally just wanted to be a young man, but he didn't expect to be criticized so badly by his friend, so he immediately smiled in embarrassment.
Zhang Songnian wrote several golden songs for Li Xingruo in film and television, and helped Li Xingruo win the championship on the competitive music competition with one original song after another.
"But to be honest, I haven't encountered a song like "Painting Heart" in Jinyu for a long time. The melody is really awesome. The most important thing is this poignant melody coupled with the gentle bass strings. Tsk
, What a genius idea." The arranger abruptly changed the subject.
This song really shocked him, especially Li Xingruo's dolphin sound at the climax of the song. This is a song that resonates.
Zhang Songnian smiled and nodded.
In addition, Zhang Songnian even took the time to write a few songs for the group F4.
"That's how it feels, that's how it feels"
Qu Xueyan immediately called in the crew's publicity department, deputy director and others to hold an impromptu meeting.
The clear and sad singing completely spreads the sad mood of the whole song. With the intertwining of piano accompaniment, the singing goes from immersive and restrained to undercurrent. The emotions spreading layer by layer are like ocean waves, making the listener's heart follow.
Ups and downs together.
After expressing his emotion, Qu Xueyan called Zhang Songnian directly and told Zhang Songnian directly that he was very satisfied with the song.
After listening, Qu Xueyan kept mumbling to himself.
So Zhang Songnian found professionals in the company's composition department to help complete the arrangement work. It took nearly three days, and Zhang Songnian and the arranger finally restored the arrangement of "Painted Skin" in Zhang Songnian's impression.
Just listening to this song is enough to imagine a sad and sad tragedy in one's mind.
This song is simply tailor-made for my movie, and it couldn't be more suitable.
Following Qu Xueyan's order, after the temporary decision to change the theme song, the film began intensive promotion.
Qu Xueyan also fell silent.
He knows himself too well!
"It's really a scene that makes people look forward to it." Qu Xueyan couldn't help but murmured to himself with a smile.
"Heh heh heh heh~"
Everyone present has read the movie script. When they listened to this song just now, everyone more or less followed the melody and lyrics of the song and entered the plot of the movie.
However, this thought only passed by in a flash. Qu Xueyan wished that Zhang Songnian's theme song for him would be as good as the Golden Melody Award.
Although Zhang Songnian only gave the simple melody of the original song, he was still able to perfectly restore the complex arrangement in his impression. This level is definitely the best in the industry.
Qu Xueyan glanced at everyone, and then silently took out "Drawing Heart" recorded by Li Xingruo.
To be continued...
