Chapter 315: If you don't think about me, you will never forget me (asking for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets)
The investment in the play "Xun Tian Ji" is very large, reportedly as high as 300 million yuan, and it is said that everything from the plot to the actors, from the props to the special effects has been polished, refined, and...
In short, it is a big-budget, big-production film with a huge reputation, so much so that as soon as the actors' makeup photos came out, it caused heated discussions among netizens.
Unfortunately, after just a few days of heated discussion, the online attention was snatched away by the finals of "The Voice of China", and it has not been regained to this day.
This caused the producers to be very annoyed for a while, especially after they invited Liu Zhengyan to produce the ending song but he declined the invitation on the grounds that he was too busy with work and was unable to do it. The producer was humiliated for several days.
Fortunately, although Liu Zhengyan declined, he recommended another person to the producers to produce the ending song, and this person was Lin Fan.
Originally, the producer accepted the proposal out of respect for Liu Zhengyan and of course Lin Fan's creative ability, and signed a formal cooperation agreement with Lin Fan's agent Yang Hongxia. However, he was always a little nervous in his heart. After all, although Lin Fan wrote good songs, he had zero experience in producing film and television songs.
Even so, the producers were still willing to sign with Lin Fan. First, they believed in the strength of Liu Zhengyan and Lin Fan, and second, it was also an initial investment. Third, the TV series had just started filming, so there was still a lot of time. The producers believed that Lin Fan could polish out a similar ending song even if he had to work hard.
However, the producer's anxiety completely disappeared when Lin Fan won the final of "The Voice of China" and his popularity and fame reached its peak. He even smiled from ear to ear for three consecutive days!
Is the ending song important for a film or TV series?
It is very important, because good film and television works need good film and television music to deepen their connotations, especially when it comes to emotional rendering. A song that fits the plot and sounds at the right moment will allow the audience to gain a deep sense of identification similar to sublimation.
This sense of identification will make you remember the play deeply and fall in love with the song. And when you hear this song somewhere else, the relevant plot will surge in your mind. This is how the song and the content truly achieve the unity of "opera" and complement each other.
But now, even though the ending song has not been produced yet, the producer has already gained something else from Lin Fan: popularity and attention.
Lin Fan is going to compose the ending song for "Sky Survey"!
As long as this news is released, it will attract countless attention!
You have to know that from the preparation to the start of filming and then to the final promotion and launch of a play, the relevant news cannot be interrupted, and it requires constant attention from the public, unless it is a very low-cost production of the kind of film and television drama whose future fate is unknown.
The popularity and attention brought by the news that Lin Fan composed the ending song for "Sky Survey" was enough to make the producers smile from ear to ear.
What's more, Lin Fan's creative ability is not bad at all.
After listening to the two songs Lin Fan created in the finals, the producer felt that he could actually look forward to Lin Fan's upcoming works.
but.
"Boss Xu, Lin Fan has sent over the demo of his new song!" the assistant reported.
Producer Xu Yunsheng was stunned for a second. It was only one day after the finals of "The Voice of China", and Lin Fan had already finished the ending song? When did he finish it? Did he write it in his dream yesterday? How could he write a good song in such a hurry?
But Xu Yunsheng is not a person who makes rash judgments without even hearing the song. Even if Lin Fan really fooled around and sent him a substandard song, Xu Yunsheng still decided to listen to it first, and then confidently sent the song back to Lin Fan to redo it! Party A is so tough!
However, when you insult someone, your words must have substance. You can't just talk nonsense. You have to make the other person deeply aware of his or her mistakes. This is the way Xu Yunsheng likes.
But let’s listen to the song first.
Xu Yunsheng asked his assistant to download the song demo to his computer, and then clicked play.
The quality of song demos is generally poor, which is a kind of protection for the creators. Xu Yunsheng can understand that. However, when the gentle and slightly sad prelude with electronic sound sounded, Xu Yunsheng couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Then, a mournful female voice sounded:
"As the night gets colder, the flowers fall to the ground and turn into frost. You gaze from afar, exhausting all the twilight.
If you don't think about it, it's hard to forget each other——"
"Hiss!" Xu Yunsheng got goose bumps all over his body! There is not a single word in these lyrics that expresses sorrow, but every word and every melody in the lyrics reveals a sense of sadness that seems to be engraved in the bones. Uh, although this expression of "gradually cooling down" is a bit strange, as if something inexplicable is mixed in.
But this melody is really good! It expresses a kind of sad and bitter feeling of missing someone, showing that the love between lovers transcends past and present lives, and becomes more stable and affectionate as time goes by.
At least in Xu Yunsheng's opinion, this song is very appropriate to the plot of the whole drama, and it fully displays the love-hate relationship between the hero and heroine, the unrequited love, and the weeping and complaining! As soon as he finished listening to the first verse, a voice popped up in Xu Yunsheng's heart: This is it!
But, this lyric...
Xu Yunsheng didn't know what to say. The lyrics of this song were really weird. At first listen, they sounded mysterious, but when you looked at it carefully, they were a bit awkward. After all, it was not the common word order in the market, but it had a strong ancient charm.
Look at that “It’s hard to forget each other if you don’t think about each other”.
Look at the “cool peach blossoms”.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Tsk! It's so nice and strange! Love and hate are intertwined, and it's a disaster for love.
In addition, the female voice is as thick as peach blossoms, while the male part fills up the feminine and hollow feeling of the female voice. When singing in chorus, they blend perfectly, adding a lingering feeling. It is absolutely suitable to be the ending song of "Sky Survey"!
But this matter was not something that the producer could decide alone. Xu Yunsheng decided to find the director team, let them listen to the demo of the song, and see what they thought.
The director listened to the demo and was also confused: "This song is very good, but the lyrics... don't you think they are a bit strange?"
The assistant director also nodded: "It's quite strange. I've never seen such a word order before."
But some people hold different opinions: "It's OK. Although it's strange, it sounds pretty impressive at first glance. The key is that it fits our plot very well, which is the most rare thing."
Everyone else was convinced. The lyrics can be modified, but the melody is difficult to change. The song "Liangliang" sent by Lin Fan is excellent in its melody, not in its lyrics.
The director team and producers would not reject such an excellent song just because of the lyrics.
As for Lin Fan, he naturally knew that the lyrics of this song were very controversial, but this did not prevent the song from becoming the most popular film and television song at the time and was sung in various ways.
Even the song title "Liangliang" has become a very classic meme.
The key is that this song really matches "Xun Tian Ji". It has such a grand name, but it turns out to be an ancient romance drama disguised as a fairy tale. Lin Fan said, "Okay, it's you, "Liang Liang"! PS: "Liang Liang", Yang Zongwei/Zhang Bichen
