tearjerker director

Chapter 608 In the Birch Forest
In fact, Li Yi really wasn't talking nonsense this time, and it wasn't because this short film happened to trigger a memory, a song in him.

But the truth is what he said.

Many laymen, watching movies, may feel that the soundtrack of the movie is just not that important.

But in fact, it really isn't.

Simply put, the simplest use of soundtrack is to play cheerful music when you are happy, and play sad tunes when you are sad.

But in fact, this is just the simplest soundtrack, or in other words, this is not a real movie soundtrack.

The soundtrack of a real movie actually has a lot to do.

For example, the most intuitive one is the short film "Father", whether it's the story, the camera lens, or even the persuasion, etc., to be honest, it's all very poor.

But because of a touching theme song of "Father", the whole short film was sublimated.

In fact, many people may not have a particularly obvious feeling for a feature film, but the shorter the film, the shorter and simpler the story, theme song, soundtrack, etc., are more important to the film.

It can even determine the upper and lower limits of a film!

Of course, the premise is that the song must fit and be good enough in itself!

"That's right! Why didn't I think of it! However, this is a bit difficult!" Mu Qing frowned slightly.

The creation of film soundtracks is not so easy, just say it.

"Do you know the director of this short film?" Li Yiwei asked curiously.

If it's just because the short film is good, Mu Qing wants to help the other party perfect the short film, it's so good and strange.

"Yeah, I know her. She can be considered half of my student." But Mu Qing said something that surprised Li Yi.

"Half of your student?" Li Yi was a little dazed.

"That's right, Christina is an international student from the Directing Department of China Overseas Drama Academy. She came to my crew for an internship, and later she often contacted me to ask me questions." Mu Qing said with a smile.

"Uh..." Li Yi really didn't know.

"She adapted this short film based on a local story in her hometown. She also asked me a lot of questions during filming." Mu Qing added.

"That's it! No wonder you are so concerned!" Li Yi was relieved.

Otherwise, would Mu Qing deserve so much attention for a new foreign director?
With such a relationship, it's no wonder she was so caring, and even pulled herself over to give advice.

"Actually, I have a little inspiration here, but how can you thank me?" Li Yi suddenly looked at Director Mu with a smirk.

"Have you got inspiration so soon?" Director Mu ignored Li Yi's latter words and asked in surprise.

"Fast? Whether I'm fast or slow, you know best." Li Yi couldn't help teasing.

Mu Qing couldn't help giving Li Yi a coquettish look and said, "How do you want me to thank you?"

"Ahem, the yoga ball you used to practice yoga before is quite interesting." Li Yi looked at Director Mu with fiery eyes.

Although they are old couples, Director Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then his pretty face blushed, and he gave someone a hard look.

"Deal?" Li Yi looked at Director Mu with a smile and asked.

Unlike Xu Nannan, Li Yi needless to say what Xu Nannan said, she understood it better than Li Yi.

But director Mu is still relatively thin-skinned, and Li Yi still needs to take the initiative to recruit some things.

In the end, Director Mu agreed.

Well, in fact, this is also a tacit understanding between the two, adding some fun to life.

"Are you really inspired?" Mu Qing still couldn't believe it.

After all, Li Yi is a director, not a songwriter. Although he had written songs earlier, she still found it a bit unbelievable.

"The quiet village is covered with white snow

Pigeon flying under the cloudy sky
The two names are engraved on the birch tree

They swore to love each other for the rest of their lives"

Li Yi hummed softly.

Mu Qing was stunned when she heard that.

The lyrics that Li Yi sang are like the portrayal of the plot of the short film, but for some reason, there is no accompaniment, but Mu Qing immediately had an illusion, as if this song was born for this story generally.

"One day the flames of war came to my hometown
The lad took his gun and went to the frontier
sweetheart, don't worry about me
Waiting for my return in that birch forest."

Mu Qing was a little crazy when she heard it, the lyrics seemed to be telling this story, but it sounded full of an indescribable poetic flavor.

And the key is that it fits perfectly with the content of the short film.

then
Li Yi stopped.

"The sky is still cloudy and there are still pigeons flying

Who will prove the love and life without tombstones
The snow is still falling, the village is still peaceful
Young people disappear in the birch forest."

The more Mu Qing listened, the more shocked she became, and the more she listened, the more amazed she became. The key point was that Li Yi was watching this short film for the first time, but he was able to easily compose it on the spot. A song that perfectly fits this short film and this story.

Yes, these lyrics sound like an overview of the story of this short film, but in fact, this is even more amazing.

Because of these lyrics, it feels like it was born with this story. Although there is no accompaniment, the melody that Li Yi hums can perfectly show that kind of extreme emotion.

"The bad news came that afternoon

The sweetheart died in the distant battlefield
She silently came to the birch forest
waiting there every day

She said he was just lost in the distance"

The song sang the whole story and could tell every scene, and even gave Mu Qing the illusion that she didn't need to watch the movie at all, just listening to the song, the whole story could directly emerge in her mind!

Not only the story, but also the picture, the lyrics have a picture!

Li Yi humming, it is naturally impossible to achieve the effect of the full version of the song, but such lyrics, combined with the melody, are already enough to make Mu Qing shocked and proud.

Shocked by Li Yi's talent, she is proud that this is the man she Mu Qing chose, although this guy seems a bit scumbag.

But this still doesn't prevent Mu Qing from looking at Li Yi, full of love and shock.

What Li Yi and Mu Qing didn't know was that Christina, who wanted to come over to say hello to Mu Qing, was just dumbfounded on the spot.

Li Yi hummed every line of the lyrics, she felt hit.

In fact, as Li Yi said, when Christina filmed this story, her funds were limited, so many things were done by herself, such as the soundtrack. Where did she have the money to hire a professional film soundtrack artist? A more poignant melody came, and I used it directly.

But how does that compare to music made especially for movies?
But she was still shocked. Of course she knew the name Ershu Ying, and Li Yi's name, but she always had the impression that Li Yi was a talented director.

But he never expected that he could write songs, and he wrote them so well!It fits so well with the story of the short film!

PS: There are only two changes today. Sure enough, you can’t eat popsicles and ice creams. I ate one more old popsicle, and I ran to the toilet for too many times. , This is a bloody lesson, the weather is hot, but you can't eat iced things indiscriminately!Otherwise, whoever pulls it will know!
