Chapter 185 Shocking Theme Song
Qu Xueyan put on the earphones and clicked the play button.

Li Xingruo's piano skills are good. Although there is only simple piano accompaniment at the beginning, the poignant melody of this song has already been outlined by Li Xingruo's piano sound in the first few notes.

Although the vocals hadn't started yet, Qu Xueyan couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard the prelude.

With this melody and Li Xingruo's vocals as the background, this song is absolutely not bad.

The moment the prelude sounded, Qu Xueyan knew that this was the theme song he needed, and after being agitated, Qu Xueyan continued to listen.

After a short prelude, the vocal stage begins.

"The inability to see through is your lost soul, and the inability to guess is the color of your pupils"

Li Xingruo's singing voice has a trace of sadness, and Ruoyou Ruowu's crying voice makes this song's poignant interpretation even more subtle.

What's more, the lyrics!
The lyrics of this song perfectly fit the plot of the movie.

The more Qu Xueyan listened to it, the more excited he became. Sure enough, he had to find Zhang Songnian to write the theme song.

He knows himself too well!

The lyrics of this song are so picturesque that Qu Xueyan felt that such a good song was simply used as the theme song of a movie, and there was even a little bit of waste.

But this thought was just a flash, Qu Xueyan wished that Zhang Songnian's theme song for himself would be at the level of the Gold Melody Award.

"Heh ah ah~"

After the second chorus, Li Xingruo's singing interrupted Qu Xueyan's thinking, which shocked people.

The clear and sad singing spreads the sad emotion of the whole song completely. With the interweaving of piano accompaniment, the singing goes from submerged restraint to turbulent undercurrent. The emotions spreading layer by layer are like waves, making the listener's heart follow Ups and downs together.

Then the singing changed into a dolphin sound, directly substituting the listener's emotions completely. When Qu Xueyan was listening to this song, he thought of the fox demon heroine in his movie. A devastating struggle, a heart-piercing sadness.

Qu Xueyan felt his whole scalp go numb, this dolphin sound really shocked him thoroughly.

This song is simply tailor-made for my own movie, and it couldn't be more suitable.

He even had a feeling that his movie didn't deserve the song.

This song is really well written.

The lyrics are well written, and the melody is even better, coupled with Li Xingruo's singing voice that is like the sound of nature.

Just listening to this song is enough to make people imagine a sad tragedy in their minds.

"That's what it feels like, that's what it feels like"

After listening, Qu Xueyan murmured to himself.

This song shocked him too much, especially Li Xingruo's dolphin sound at the climax of the song. This is a song that can resonate.

It is hard for Qu Xueyan to imagine what it would be like if the song had a complete arrangement and was played in a movie theater with the movie screen.

"It really makes people look forward to such a picture." Qu Xueyan couldn't help but muttered to himself with a smile.

After expressing his feelings, Qu Xueyan directly called Zhang Songnian and told Zhang Songnian that he was very satisfied with the song.

And I hope that 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 add a lot to a movie.

If you can use this song to match the plot of the movie to make a promotional video, it may be able to lure many viewers into the cinema. Who said that literary films can't make a lot of money at the box office?
I have to break this spell myself!
After listening to the first tailor-made theme song "Painting Heart" written by Song Nian, Qu Xueyan felt confident.

-

Because the arrangement of the song "Painting Heart" uses a lot of string accompaniment, the work involved in the arrangement is very large, which is obviously not what Zhang Songnian can do by himself.

So Zhang Songnian hired professionals in the composition department of the company to help complete the arrangement. After nearly three days, Zhang Songnian and the arranger finally restored the arrangement of "Painted Skin" in Zhang Songnian's impression.

The following content is relatively simple. Li Xingruo can easily complete this song the second time, and after a week of practice, it only took a few hours to record this song time.

In fact, Li Xingruo sang very well at the first recording, but in order to pursue better effects, the two always thought that they could record more times and strive to be better, so Li Xingruo recorded three or four more times. .

But in the end, in the selection of many versions, Zhang Songnian and Li Xingruo, even the sound engineer and arranger next to him, always thought that the first one sung by Li Xingruo was more flavorful.

"Thank you for your help these days." Zhang Songnian thanked the sound engineer and arranger with a smile.

The arranger on the opposite side waved his hands in fear and said: "Where is it, it is my honor 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, he can come to him at any time." us!"

Zhang Songnian smiled and nodded.

Although Jin Yu's composition department is a bit slow in composition, the level of arrangement is really nothing to talk about.

Even though 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 top in the industry.

Regardless of whether it is an arranger or a sound engineer.

They all looked at Zhang Songnian with perverted eyes.

From the communication process with Zhang Songnian in the past few days, they can be sure that Zhang Songnian has never studied composition systematically, and it is even the same thing whether Zhang Songnian has learned vocal music.

But it is such a person who can write classic golden songs one after another casually.

Zhang Songnian's exposure to the world was only worth a year, within this time.

Zhang Songnian wrote several film and television golden songs for Li Xingruo, and helped Li Xingruo win the championship through the advantages of one original song after another in the competition music competition.

In the end, Li Xingruo was pushed down to the position of a first-line singer in the Chinese music scene with a new album that is enough to make a god.

In addition, Zhang Songnian even found time to write a few songs for the F4 group.

During this process, Zhang Songnian has exported at least 20 songs, more than half of which are definitely golden songs according to the standards of today's Chinese music scene.

More than 20 songs a year is not impossible for no one, and there are many people who write more than Zhang Songnian.

But so far, it is still difficult for anyone to write more than a dozen songs at the golden song level in a year.

No matter how high-ranked songwriters are, they don't have Zhang Songnian's terrifying efficiency and quality.

Zhang Songnian is definitely a historical level musician in the Chinese music scene.

Not only that, but he is also a musician who combines lyrics and music, which is even more rare.

What's even more frightening is that Zhang Songnian is only in his 20s. If you refer to his past efficiency, next year's Top Ten Golden Songs selection will soon become Zhang Songnian's personal show.

The sound engineer and arranger watched Zhang Songnian and Li Xingruo walk away, and they were silent for a long time.

"These two people 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 their world." After a while, the arranger couldn't help but sigh first.

The sound engineer curled his lips aside and said, "I think judging from the situation of the Chinese music scene this year, it's already their world."

The arranger said regretfully: "Indeed, the album "Love Song" is really amazing, it's a pity that I didn't participate in the recording of this album last time, it's a pity, if I can participate in it Go, even if I retire right now and stop doing this job, I am willing.”

The sound engineer looked the arranger up and down, and said with some disdain: "Pull you down, are you willing to pay the salary that the company offers you?"

"Besides, I don't think this song is worse than the songs in the album "Love Song". To round it up, if you recorded this song, it means that you recorded the album "Love Song". What are you doing? Haven't retired yet?"

The arranger was just thinking about Wenqing, but he didn't expect to be so miserable by his friend, so he immediately smiled awkwardly.

"Hey, can this be the same?"

"But to be honest, I haven't encountered a song like "Painting Heart" in Jinyu for a long time. The melody is really amazing. The most important thing is this kind of poignant melody combined with the melodious bass strings, tsk , What a genius idea." The arranger abruptly changed the subject.

But when it comes to the song "Painting Heart", the sound engineer obviously stopped joking with his friends, but directly echoed: "Indeed, after working in Jin Yu's recording studio for so long, this song gave me the deepest feeling." , and the most impactful, it seems that when I listen to her singing, I can make up a poignant and sad love story in my mind."

"It's a pity that Mr. Zhang doesn't want to come to the composition department to develop, otherwise our Jinyu composition department will definitely overwhelm Xingcan and Menghua." The arranger said with some regret.

The recording studio looked at his friend again, and said with a look of looking at the staff: "What are you thinking, look at his current status, you can't be the boss in the arrangement department, go to the arrangement department to give you work to earn a living?"

The composer thought for a while, stroked his chin and thought, and said, "That's right. But if Mr. Zhang can join the composition department, even if he is the boss, I'll be fine. I guess many people will support it. "

The sound engineer immediately said nervously: "Fuck, keep your voice down in the company, and don't have ears behind the wall later, and be careful that your leader wears small shoes."

"Ha ha."

-

The complete version of "Painted Skin" with an arrangement was soon given to Qu Xueyan after the recording was completed.

Qu Xueyan immediately called the publicity department of the crew and the assistant director and others to hold an impromptu meeting.

Qu Xueyan looked at the crowd and said, "Let me tell you something. Before, I thought the theme song of the movie was mediocre. After thinking about it, I finally decided to change the theme song."

The person in charge of the publicity department who was in charge of publicity and distribution was the first to express his opinion: "Here, Director Qu, the publicity and distribution channels have already been prepared and publicized according to the previous theme song. Would it be too hasty to change it now, and at the beginning That song was finally finalized by us round after round.”

The assistant director said with a smile: "A good theme song really adds a lot to the movie. I don't think the current theme song is too bad, but since Director Qu said so, there must be a better choice. gone."

This comment highlights a smoothness.

Qu Xueyan glanced at the crowd, then silently took out "Painting Heart" that Li Xingruo had recorded.

A poignant melody sounded in the meeting room. The song started with the sound of the cello as the main theme, interspersed with guitar strings and piano slides, the soul-stirring melody, the sad and sad lyrics, and Li Xingruo's gorgeous dolphin sound to complete the whole song. The sadness is completely detonated, and the poignant beauty of this song is highlighted vividly.

Everyone was silent for a long time after listening.

Qu Xueyan also fell silent.

When listening to the simple demo of piano + vocals for the first time, Qu Xueyan already felt amazing enough.

But I never expected that this song would give people such a strong feeling after it has a complete arrangement.

After the addition of orchestral music, the whole song sounds majestic and reveals incomparable sadness, coupled with Li Xingruo's sad and faint singing voice, there is a lot of room for imagination.

To put it bluntly, just listening to this song is really enough to fill up the picture in my mind.

Everyone present has read the script of the movie. When they heard the song just now, everyone more or less followed the melody and lyrics of the song and substituted it into the plot of the movie.

"I want to change the theme song to this one, who agrees and who opposes?" Qu Xueyan looked around the crowd and said calmly.

"Ahem, I think it's very reasonable. Director Qu really has an extraordinary vision!" The person in charge of the publicity department immediately stood up and agreed.

"Director Qu's opinion!" The assistant director said while giving a thumbs up.

Qu Xueyan grinned in satisfaction and said: "Then this matter is settled, and the announcement side should pay attention to it. The song of the promotional film must be replaced with this song "Painting Heart", a good theme song, for the movie. The bonus it brings is definitely very large, especially this kind of theme song that is comparable to a golden song."

Following Qu Xueyan's order, after temporarily deciding to change the theme song, the film began to be promoted intensively.

Right now is the end of the summer file, and the National Day file is still a month away, which belongs to the low tide of the box office market.

Qu Xueyan himself didn't intend to hit any box office results, how much money he made through this movie, and so on.

This movie was made more to fulfill a dream, and I wanted to hit the Golden Bear Award.

But even so, after getting the theme song, Qu Xueyan decided to try to promote it through the theme song to see if he could get more box office results.

Although I don't plan to make money by not making movies, after all, who would dislike a lot of money.
