Chapter 442 [Blonde stunner, song implantation]
Seeing that Liang Kun was both confident and humble, Spielberg had no worries and went to film "Munich".
He looks forward to Liang Kun bringing surprises, not just to make money, but to see a powerful young director appear.
Spipberg's evaluation of Christopher Nolan is "the last film author of the 20th century", which affirms his innovative spirit different from his predecessors. Now he feels that Liang Kun is also quite creative and has a bright future.
On July 16, the heroine of the movie "Happy Death Day" was selected.
Liang Kun did not attend the audition meeting, and producer Stewart only invited four actresses to audition. He chose people who were of the right age, had experience in making movies, had excellent image, and were not worth a lot of money.
The heroine was eventually won by actress Blake Lively, who was born in August 1987. Liang Kun was quite satisfied with the result when he knew it. This choice was unexpectedly reliable.
The reason why Stewart chose Black is that she has a good image and temperament, a typical American blonde beauty. She filmed "Summer of Jeans", which was just released in June this year and received positive reviews. She is only 18 years old and has an absurd figure, with a bulge in front and a squint back, and her temperament looks quite mature.
Liang Kun is more familiar with Black. In the parallel world, she and Ryan Reynolds starred in the famous DC movie "Green Lantern". Reynolds was almost depressed by this movie. The only gain was that he met Black. Later, the two got married. It took Reynolds five years to climb out of the pit and become Marvel's Deadpool.
As the wife of "Little Clerk", Black is well-known in China. She is also very popular in the United States, has acted in many movies, and has also fallen in love with Leonardo DiCaprio. Yes, Little Li and Little Clerk are fellow friends.
She is 173cm tall and plays opposite Liang Kun, and the two are quite compatible.
The villain's actress was also selected, a Swedish actress named Minnie Anden, a model. She was born in 1978 and is four years older than Liang Kun. She is just a supporting role in Hollywood and plays a guest role in movies and TV series.
She won this role because her pay was super low and her image was suitable.
She is 179cm tall, and if she wears a man's clothes and a rabbit head mask, she can't tell the difference between men and women. Moreover, her facial features are tough and she looks fierce.
Liang Kun has no impression of this actress, and she will not become popular in the future. Just look at the information, choosing her should be a good choice. Black from 173CM seems weaker than her.
There are also some supporting roles that need to be chosen, but the crew has not gathered together. Liang Kun has not met the actors for the time being, and the starring actors have been familiar with the script for a while.
As a director, Liang Kun has already made the filming plan, but has become a relatively relaxed person in the crew recently.
On July 18, he called Ayumi Hamasaki to go to the recording studio of DreamWorks Records to record songs, intending to record three singles, two of him and one of Ayumi Hamasaki.
Liang Kun rented a Mercedes-Benz in Los Angeles, and assistant Li Renjie was responsible for driving. The three of them left the house together.
Li Renjie completely convinced Liang Kun. Before he became an assistant at Yingyi Entertainment, he had read a lot of news about Liang Kun and Ayumi Hamasaki. Since Ayumi Hamasaki is Japanese, not many people are optimistic about their foreign relationship, and everyone thinks it is just a scandal.
As a result, the two of them really had a relationship. After Ayumi Hamasaki arrived in Los Angeles, she asked her assistant and bodyguard to live nearby, and moved directly into the villa and Liang Kun's house.
Moreover, they did not avoid Li Renjie. Ayumi Hamazaki's female assistant and bodyguard also knew about them and would not tell them. Li Renjie only needed to keep it confidential. Liang Kun liked his assistant and could also give him some bonuses.
Li Renjie usually doesn't hear any private words, so he always makes soy sauce. Because the two of them usually chat in Japanese, he doesn't understand at all.
Li Renjie was driving in front and heard two people chatting in Japanese behind.
Ayumi Hamasaki asked curiously: "How did you convince the big director? Not only did he let you be a director and film, but he could also make soundtracks and singles in the movie?"
"It's just a chat while having dinner together." Liang Kun was a little proud and smiled: "It may not be used in the movie yet. Let's record it first. Of course, if the songs are of high quality, the producers have no reason to find other people to find music. You are here, and I think it's more suitable for you to sing the female version."
"It must be fine, these two songs are great." Ayumi Hamasaki said with a smile.
In November 2003, Universal Records agreed to acquire a record company under DreamWorks.
DreamWorks Records has famous musicians and bands such as Neri Fortado, Toby Keith, Elliott Smith and the Cockroach Daddy Band. The company has produced several musicals and has produced background music for popular films such as "The Monster Shrek" and "Near Fame".
The pay for filming this movie is not high, and Liang Kun has a way to win benefits for himself in other aspects. He wants to sing theme songs and interludes in the movie and make songs and advertise them. This is a ready-made resource. Just say Spiper and record company people. Liang Kun is not as effective as Spiper's talk to the people in Xiangjiang Global Branch.
The predecessor of Xiangjiang Global Branch was Polygold, which had no status in the headquarters and was basically speechless. Moreover, Liang Kun was in the branch relationship, and even if he signed a contract with the Global Records headquarters in the future, his net worth would not be very high.
His best choice is to release a single first and then sign a record company after it becomes popular. If he puts two songs in the movie, the box office of the movie will be so big, how can the song not be popular?
After arriving at the location, the male staff received the two. "Hello, Mr. Liang, I am Harry, I'm very happy to see you."
"I'm also very happy to see you, so I'll take us to the recording studio, the accompaniment is here." Liang Kun handed the CD to Harry. He had already prepared the accompaniment when he was in China and had made sufficient preparations to come to the United States to explore.
He prepared 10 English songs and violin versions, and many of the accompaniments were played by himself. In the past few months, he rarely went out, and usually went out to play music in the Universal recording studio.
Ayumi Hamasaki followed Liang Kun and was proud of him. This man is too strong. He is already a superstar in Asia and is still able to eat well when he arrives in the United States. He has only been here for half a month.
She spent a year in the United States for music training and lived like a transparent person. Except for the teacher, everyone else ignored her. The teacher didn't smile when she guided her, and she was never polite to be with her.
Since then, Ayumi Hamasaki decided to develop in Asia and think that she would not be famous when she went to the United States. Utada Hikari went to Europe and the United States to release albums was a suicide.
Now, an opportunity to release a single in the United States was suddenly placed in front of her. She didn't come to find Liang Kun for singing, but she liked Liang Kun's new songs very much.
The first song recorded by the two was called "Chandelier". Harry was followed by a staff member in the company. Liang Kun was introduced by Spieburg, but the white people in the company didn't think it would be better for Asians to sing English songs, even if Liang Kun's English pronunciation is very standard.
However, as soon as Liang Kun started singing, Harry was shocked. The lyrics of this song were obviously suitable for female singing, but Liang Kun sang it very well. His voice was so good that the treble part was not at all difficult.
"I will sway like a chandelier, like a chandelier. I will live in a tomorrow that never exists, a tomorrow that never exists. I will fly like a bird in the night until my tears dry up. I will sway like a chandelier, like a chandelier..."
Liang Kun used a lot of real and false voice switching, which was simply a voice acrobatic. After singing zero mistakes, he didn't need to record the second time.
With training assistance, as long as he practices a song, he will make zero mistakes and can reach this level when he holds a concert.
Ayumi Hamasaki didn't sing so well. She recorded it many times, and Liang Kun was instructing her. She was a little bit smoking, drinking and singing, and her voice was quite similar to the original version. The recording could be done well, and the live version would be more difficult.
When recording, a song must first undergo two audio tracks.
The first is the singer's pure voice. The singer sings with the accompaniment. This is a track with only his own voice. Then the technician will process this track with various tones according to different needs, such as adding reverb and various effects to make the sound richer.
The second track is pure accompaniment, which is composed of various complex tone synthesis in advance, such as guitar, piano, and drum beats.
Basically, after the first track is processed, a synthesis will be performed first. In this way, the basic prototype of a song will be available. Then, after modifying the shortcomings, reducing noise, etc., a song will be officially released.
Releasing an album and singing a KTV are two different things. Many singers have good albums, and this is why they can only lip-sync on the spot. Idol singers who have poor singing skills can easily create a "car accident scene".
This song shows the thinking of a "party girl" and explains in detail the moral corruption of alcoholism. The song is more in line with the movie "Happy Death Day", because the heroine is a hangover "party girl" just after she appears. The bitch has offended many people because she feels that many people may kill themselves.
In the parallel world, this song "Chandelier" is included in Private A's sixth studio album "1000Forms OfFear", which was released as the title song in 2014 and won four Grammy nominations. Private A performed at the 2015 Grammy Awards ceremony, but unfortunately failed to win the award.
The lyrics of the second song "VivaLaVida" (Long Live Life) have nothing to do with the movie. Liang Kun plans to use this song as the ringtone and interlude of the heroine's mobile phone for getting up. Last year, Liang Kun wrote the song while traveling in Europe and has not been released, just to wait for an opportunity.
It doesn't matter if the lyrics are not matched. The song won the 51st Grammy Awards, "Song of the Year" and "Best Popular Combination" and was nominated for "Production of the Year". The quality is unremarkable. The heroine was killed again and again, and wanted to survive and end the time cycle, which is also a reflection of long live life.
Anyway, this is the song the heroine likes in the movie, as long as it sounds good. Liang Kun also plans to keep a close eye on the movie and not release singles outside the movie, not to say who sang it.
As long as movie fans think it sounds good and take the initiative to search for this song, Liang Kun's purpose will be achieved...
