"The editing of "Love" has been finally completed, and the subtitles have been added in German and Cantonese. Now all that's left is the theme song and the ending song." Last night, after Zhang Qiurui finished editing the movie "Love", he reported the progress to Zou Wenhuai early this morning.
"So, the movie can be entered into the Berlin Film Festival. Director Zhang, does anyone have any other ideas for the theme song and ending song? If not, I will ask someone to write two theme songs and ending songs that suit the movie." After hearing this, Zou Wenhuai's eyes flashed with anticipation.
Golden Harvest is now developing at an unstoppable pace and is comparable to the old film company Shaw Brothers, but Golden Harvest has not yet made any achievements internationally.
Now a director who has won major awards at the three major international film festivals has co-produced this film with Golden Harvest and entered it into the Berlin Film Festival. If it is selected for the main competition unit, it will undoubtedly be a great opportunity for Golden Harvest to increase its international visibility.
Zou Wenhuai was thinking that if he could take this opportunity to make Golden Harvest famous internationally, it would be an immeasurable help to the company's future development.
"Mr. Zou, I have already written the theme song and ending song for the movie.
Now all we need is someone to record it and edit it into the film." At this time, Zhang Qiurui took out two manuscripts and handed them to Zou Wenhuai.
"Is this an English song? Director Zhang wants to find a Hong Kong singer to sing these two songs?" Zou Wenhuai said with a little surprise after seeing the English letters in the manuscript.
He knew that Zhang Qiurui was talented and could write, edit and direct plays, but he didn't expect that he could even compose English songs. He was truly an all-round talent.
"I want to invite Zhang Guorong to sing." Zhang Qiurui already had a candidate in mind.
Good things should be kept within the family.
"Zhang Guorong has already gained international recognition this year, especially with her English songs, most of which topped the US Billboard charts.
Having him sing the theme song and ending song of the movie can indeed add some color to our movie.
However, Zhang Guorong's current status is quite high, so it's not easy to invite him to sing these two songs. I'll try to invite him." Zou Wenhuai said with a slight frown.
........。
“Boss Zou, you can think about it from another angle.
First, the two English songs I wrote are not bad. I can confidently say that they are rare masterpieces.
High-quality songs can also boost a singer's popularity and expand the singer's market and fame.
Second, the film we shot was going to participate in the Berlin Film Festival. I had previously won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival, so the chances of this film being selected for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival were very high.
Once selected, Zhang Guorong sang the theme song and ending song of the film, which would greatly increase his popularity and may even allow him to continue to be exposed and gain popularity on the international stage.
This is a win-win situation for us," Zhang Qiurui said slowly.
This time, Zhang Qiurui wrote two English songs for the movie "Love" respectively: "Tears In Heaven" and "Long Live The Queen"
The former is a song full of nostalgia and sadness for deceased relatives, with a moving melody, and has won multiple Grammy Awards.
The latter expresses the deep longing and reluctance for the deceased lover, and the lyrics are full of thoughts on life and hope for the future.
These two songs are in line with the emotional tone of the movie "Love", adding a deep emotional level and rich musical dimension to the film.
“Director Zhang is right.
I'll ask someone to find out if Zhang Guorong is in Hong Kong. If he is, I'll arrange a meeting in person." Zou Wenhuai said this, then he picked up the phone on the table, quickly dialed a number, explained a few things briefly, and hung up.
He turned to look at Zhang Qiurui, his eyes filled with anticipation and determination. "Director Zhang, I've already had someone investigate, and there should be news soon. If Zhang Guorong is indeed in Hong Kong, I'll arrange a meeting immediately."
Zhang Qiurui smiled and nodded, seemingly not surprised by Zou Wenhuai's decisiveness.
........。
The filming location for Mr. Vampire was set in a TVB photography base built in the Republic of China.
Moreover, most of the time, we rest and sleep during the day and shoot frantically at night. So far, two-thirds of the whole play has been shot.
This was Li Shaohong's first film. At the beginning, she was very nervous and had difficulty controlling the entire crew. However, as the filming progressed, Li Shaohong gradually found her own rhythm.
Li Shaohong not only has her own unique insights into the content of the filming, but also has special ways of dealing with dishonest and disobedient actors.
It's all about polishing the acting. They won't point out any flaws in the filming of a scene, but will polish it seven, eight, or even ten times. After the actors have strong self-doubts, they will lower their posture and ask the director.
"Cut! There's something wrong with this scene. Let me think about it first. I'll take a fifteen-minute break before filming." When Zhang Qiurui arrived on the set of "Mr. Vampire", the scene they were filming happened to be the one where Mr. Ren attacked the charity cemetery, Wencai scattered sticky rice, and Mr. Ren violently broke open the door of the charity cemetery.
This time, Wencai did not interpret the situation as it was done in later generations, where he stood there trembling with a winnowing basket in his hand after seeing Master Ren break in. Instead, he threw the winnowing basket away and ran away.
This interpretation lacks the comedic effect of a mixture of humor and horror.
"Qiurui, you are here. Please show me the content of this shooting. I always feel like something is missing." Li Shaohong was replaying the scene that had just been shot. She always felt that there was something missing in this scene, but she couldn't put her finger on it. Just then, when she saw Zhang Qiurui coming, she pulled Zhang Qiurui to sit in front of the monitor and replayed the content that had just been shot.
