Let you host the artist, how can you become a superstar

Chapter 392 0391: Happy Lantern Festival!

Zhang Liming's Cantonese version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was completed three times. The basic skills of the singer are there, and since he is from Cantonese, he is very fluent in Cantonese.

Zhou Lingwei's Mandarin version of "Ten Miles of Pinghu" was also done three times. There are only four lines of lyrics, and there is only one paragraph, which does not need to be repeated.

The most problematic ones are the Mandarin version of Feng Hongyuan's "Tao Dao Dao", and the Cantonese version of Feng Hongyuan/Cao Hua/Pei Jie's "A Laugh in the Sea", because they are not professional singers and cannot speak Cantonese.

For vocalization and Cantonese, Jiang Ge found a teacher to teach them, but there are still some problems in the recording, the most important ones are emotions and emotions.

"Tao Dao Dao" are two different songs, one is sung by Huang Zhan in "A Chinese Ghost Story 1" and Leslie Cheung in "A Chinese Ghost Story 2", and the other is sung by Jacky Cheung in "A Chinese Ghost Story 3". Created while drinking with Tsui Hark and others.

"Teacher Feng, there are no problems with intonation, breathing, and articulation, but the singing is too dry, without emotion and emotion. This song takes 'Tao' as the core, expressing Yan Chixia's wildness and self-seeking in troubled times in the film. The belief in the Tao is not only an ideological reflection and exploration of the world and self, but also conveys a positive force to find one's own unique way of life and direction in the chaotic world." Jiang Ge said to the recording studio Feng Hongyuan said.

"Okay, I'll find out how I feel." Feng Hongyuan said with a little embarrassment.

He is playing Yan Chixia, so how can he not understand the inner world of this character, but he has to focus on intonation, breathing, articulation, etc. during singing, and has no spare energy to take care of emotions and emotions.

"Teacher Feng, relax a bit and don't worry too much about skills." Jiang Ge gave a suggestion, saying: "Try to take the role of Yan Chixia, and think about the drinking, sword dancing, and singing scenes in your mind."

Since you are not a professional singer, you should focus on your emotions, and your technique is almost enough. If you are not good enough, you can also modify the sound in the later stage.

Feng Hongyuan nodded.

He definitely wants to sing well. On the one hand, he has to get the money to do things well, and on the other hand, this is also a contribution to the film he acts in.

He took a few deep breaths, adjusted his state, and began to try Django's method.

"Human way
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Road to Road, very Avenue
Naturally
Humane Kendo
Black way, white way, ecliptic equator, left way, right way
Daoist or not, everyone says he is very Daoist
bah bah bah bah bah

Nonsense..."

The more Feng Hongyuan sang, the more relaxed he became. He no longer worried about singing wrong words or singing out of tune.

Django's eyes lit up, and there was an inner taste. This kind of song is combined with the plot of the movie to listen to a feeling.

Feng Hongyuan felt right until the last line was sung.

Jiang Ge clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Feng, you sang very well this time. There is no need to record this song again."

Feng Hongyuan breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, when he was singing just now, he lost himself a bit. He didn't know what the singing was like. After hearing it, he immediately said: "That's good."

Django continued: "Take a break, let's continue recording "A Laugh in the Sea"."

Hearing this, Cao Hua and Pei Jie, who had been waiting, suddenly became nervous.

Feng Hongyuan's Mandarin version of "Tao Dao Dao" was recorded eight or nine times before passing, so how many times did they have to record their Cantonese version of "A Laugh in the Sea"?
Thinking of this, I dare not think any further.

In the original movie, Xu Guanjie, Wu Ma, and Lin Zhengying sang, but the actual voices are Huang Zhan, Luo Dayou, and Tsui Hark.

In order to save trouble, Jiang Ge directly used the three actors in that scene to sing. Their timbres are quite good, and the only difference is their singing skills.

It still uses the same method as Feng Hongyuan's Mandarin version of "Dao Dao Dao", accumulating emotions and weakening skills.

A few minutes later, the trio sang for the first time in the studio.

The practice of the past few days is still effective. The basic intonation, the timing of entering and leaving the voice, and the pronunciation of Cantonese are all fine. The only thing that is missing is the mood and emotion. This only needs a little guidance.

Django's [Master Level Music Theory Knowledge] skill is not a joke, it is more than enough to teach them to sing this song well.

then……

again,
again,
After four times, the cooperation between the three became more and more tacit, and the feeling was gradually in place.

Just when Django finished explaining the details that need attention and was about to sing for the fifth time, secretary Hu Xiao came.

"Jiang Dong, the representative of the "League of Legends" World Tournament is here and wants to see you." She said.

Jiang Ge raised his eyebrows, isn't this what Chen Gan said, and it has already been forgotten.

He thought, the start of the competition seems to be in October, so there are only less than two months left, and it seems that he came because he couldn't find a suitable song.

After that, he said to the three people in the recording room: "I'll go out for a while, and you guys can think about how you feel."

Django came to the conference room, where Yu Li, the event director, and Ma Zhongzheng, the music director, were seated.

After getting to know each other, Yu Li explained her intentions.

They didn't know that Jiang Ge had known about it through Chen Qian's gossip before.

Without much thought, he replied, "Yes."

This……

They were so happy that they were dumbfounded.

The several sets of rhetoric that Yu Li had thought up before she came were no longer applicable, she was silent for a moment, and then said: "This is the first time that the "League of Legends" S game uses a Chinese theme song, so... the requirements will be relatively high. Looking at the whole In the Chinese music scene, no one is more suitable than you."

Jiang Ge smiled slightly, and said, "I'm overwhelmed. For the S competition, you need songs that are uplifting, passionate, and high-energy. In fact, my songs may not be suitable."

Ma Zhongzheng said: "Jiang Dong doesn't have to worry about this problem. The main direction of the Chinese theme song for this S game is to reflect the game culture, and strive to find the best balance between professionalism and gameplay, so as to bring players , the double guarantee of audience quality and feelings.”

Django was thoughtful.

When Chen Gan mentioned this, the first thing he thought of was the Chinese theme song of the "League of Legends" derivative animation "League of Legends: Battle of Two Cities", written by Tang Tian, ​​composed by Qian Lei, and sung by Eason Chan.

However, as the theme song of the competition, it is a bit less intense and roaring than English theme songs such as "Legends Never Die", "Rise", and "Numb".

However, "The Lonely Hero" restores the images of unsung heroes who are not in the orthodox sense from the perspective of ordinary heroes and the heroes behind them. This theme is in line with the game culture of "League of Legends".

After waiting for a long time, he confidently said three words to Li and Ma Zhongzheng: "No problem."

Ma Zhongzheng breathed a sigh of relief. If Django can't handle it, it will be difficult.

Yu Li was not worried about Django's ability, but the budget, so she asked instead: "As for the cost..."

She clicked and kicked the ball to Django, wanting to hear the price first.

Django didn't bother to play Tai Chi with them, and said bluntly: "2500 million."

Is this price expensive?That depends on whether it's worth it.

In 1999, Faye Wong sang the theme song "EYES ON ME" of "Final Fantasy 300" for Japan's Square Game Company with US$2400 million, or about RMB 8 million.

Yu Li frowned slightly, 2500 million was too much over budget.

Ma Zhongzheng asked, "Did you sing it yourself?"

This is very important, if he sings, then with his popularity and popularity, it is worth the price.

Jiang Ge shook his head. He didn't like the song "The Lonely Brave" enough to make him want to sing, and said, "Except for me, you can choose any artist from our Huafeng."

Hearing this, I was a little disappointed, but if Xu Chenyi, Huafeng's first brother, could sing, it would not be too bad.

Now it's a matter of price. Yu Li slashed at her when she came up, and said, "1500 million."

It's really like buying vegetables at the vegetable market...

Jiang Ge didn't intend to let go, but said: "In this way, you can wait until you get the song, and then decide whether to buy it or not."

This "Lonely Brave" was released separately, and it is also a good song that can be played.

Yu Li saw that she was lonely with the knife, and immediately lost her temper. After thinking about it for a while, she said, "I don't know how long it will take to get the song?"

After all, it's not long before the start of the game, and if it doesn't work, you have to find someone else.

Django thought for a while and said, "Seven days."

He originally wanted to explain tomorrow, but thought that Xu Chenyi was very busy recently and might not be able to come back to record songs in time, so he said it for a few days.

Yu Li hesitated for a long time. The main reason was that it was too expensive, but Django was obviously unwilling to lower the price. In the end, he had to wait for the song to come out before holding a meeting to discuss it, so he said: "Looking forward to your song, then we will wait for the good news."

Django sent them off and immediately returned to the recording studio.

During this period, Feng Hongyuan, Cao Hua, and Pei Jie were not idle, and they were all digesting Jiang Ge's suggestion.

Start recording again, and it's over twice.

A few days later, Xu Chenyi found time to return to the company.

"Jiang Dong, are you talking about the Chinese theme song of the "League of Legends" S game?" Xu Chenyi's tone was a little higher in an instant, and his face was full of surprise. He is an old player, and he usually finds Lin Yu and the others to form a team when he has nothing to do. .

"Don't be too happy, you may not buy it over there." Jiang Ge poured half a basin of cold water first, and then said with a smile: "If you sing better and move them, maybe you will buy it."

Xu Chenyi grinned, and promised with a row of chests: "I will definitely go all out!"

Django patted him on the shoulder and asked instead, "Have you been busy recently?"

Xu Chenyi replied: "I'm not particularly busy. The film was finished at the end of last month, and I just had a three-day rest."

Django asked again: "Then, have you practiced this song?"

Xu Chenyi nodded and said, "Practice."

When I mentioned this song, I was a little excited, because it was another song that could compete for the Golden Melody Award.

Jiang Ge immediately said: "Okay, let's start directly. In the afternoon, I will go to Hengdian to participate in the launching ceremony of "Langya Bang"."

Xu Chenyi responded, "Okay."

He entered the recording studio, put on the monitor headphones, and signaled to Feng Liang that the accompaniment could be played.

However, he was full of confidence, and Django picked up a lot of problems on his first singing.

"Segment A1 is comforting. Singing at this time should be more restrained, so that it doesn't sound so powerful, but rather decadent..."

……

"Section A2 is encouragement, approval, and the beginning of the unsheathed sword. Singing at this time must be more powerful..."

……

"The BC section is talking to myself. No one understands his struggle, no one sees his bravery. He comforts himself and cheers himself up. He is the only one who is brave..."

……

To be crowned king at the Golden Melody Awards doesn't just have to be a good song, but also a matching singing skill.

After more than two years of Jiang Ge's training, Xu Chenyi has undergone tremendous changes, and his singing skills have reached a first-class level.

However, the song "The Lonely Brave" seems simple, but it is actually not so easy to sing.

Jiang Ge didn't save, and directly used [Star Card: Eason Chan], and used the original singer to guide Xu Chenyi, no matter what, he had to be worthy of the 2500 million.

The structure of the lyrics is ABCABCBC, and Eason Chan chose to sing the song in the second person.

The second-person tone refers to the tone of my speaking to another person, not the No.1 tone of the self-report, nor the third-person tone of the paraphrase.

This kind of singing makes it seem that there is an omniscient bystander beside the protagonist, accompanying the protagonist and giving him strength. When the singer sings in the AB segment, the bystander is comforting the lonely brave man, while in the C segment, it is It seems that this bystander is inspiring this brave man, and even two people become one to resist the world together.

Jiang Ge gushed: "The name of this song is "The Lonely Brave Man", which also shows that this brave man experienced a struggle that was not noticed or valued by others, or even if he was seen by most people It is also disdainful to be moved by it, so singing in the second person tone reconciles the contradiction in the verse and chorus..."

I couldn't stop talking once it started, and it lasted for nearly an hour.

Xu Chenyi benefited a lot, and even sound engineer Feng Liang learned a lot of useful things from it.

"It's because my understanding is too simple..." Xu Chenyi finally realized that although he won the Golden Melody Award, he is still far behind Jiang Gebi.

"You digest what I said first, and continue recording after a quarter of an hour." Jiang Ge got up to drink water, and his throat said that there was smoke.

After a short break, Xu Chenyi felt the "second-person tone" that Jiang Ge said, and sang it a cappella by himself, which was indeed very different.

After that, under the continuous guidance of Jiang Ge, the song "The Lonely Brave" was successfully recorded.

"Sorry for messing up your vacation," Django said.

"It's not hard at all. I was just playing games at home. When I came here, I not only sang a super good song, but also learned new singing skills. It's because of your hard work." Xu Chenyi replied.

"I'm too busy, let's have dinner together another day." After Jiang Ge finished speaking, he said to Feng Liang: "After finishing the later stage of this song, I will give it to Hu Xiao immediately."

"Okay." Feng Liangliang nodded, looking very anxious, and said, "It's done this afternoon, and I'll send it over."

Django checked the time, stopped chatting with them, called the driver, and set off for Hengdian.

------

In August, the sultry weather brought a little depressing mood, which made people feel extremely irritable, and it was not friendly to the shooting of costume dramas at all.

At the opening ceremony of "Langya Bang", all the leading actors appeared in costumes, and after standing for a few minutes, they were already sweating profusely.

In contrast, media reporters are much better, with short sleeves, shorts and skirts.

And the atmosphere at the scene was even hotter than this weather.

　I wish everyone a happy and happy Lantern Festival!
