"Director Zuo, do you have time later? We made a song here, do you think it's suitable?" Marco asked during the break.
"Oh? Have you finished it? Okay, let's finish this one and take a break today. Everyone come over and listen to it later."
Now that two-thirds of the film has been shot, Zuo Ying'an has never asked about the theme song because he knows there is no need to ask.
Since both heroines have expressed their desire to compete for the theme song, they will seize this opportunity without me having to ask them.
Soon this scene was over, and Zuo Ying'an picked up the microphone and shouted:
"It's over. We'll take a break today. If you have nothing to do, you can leave. Then Marco made a song here. If you are interested, you can stay and listen to it."
After this was said, most of the actors and staff stayed, while the extras left with cheers.
After all, what does it matter to them who gets the theme song for this movie? We got off work early today, so we had to take this opportunity to see if we could find a small supporting role. At the very least, wouldn't it be nice to just go home and relax in bed?
Marco brought someone with him and set up a small audio equipment on the scene. Seeing that Zuo Ying'an was ready, he pressed the play button.
“The more you get, the less you understand.”
"The price of maturity made me give up searching"
“Time has made you and me mediocre, who could have predicted that?”
"My secretly shining heart also longs for a hug"
“What illuminates the entire T-stage?”
"Floating on the stage"
“They all like my dancing.”
"Without your company, I can only force a smile"
"Roaring at loneliness in the dark night"
“But the world can only see my beauty.”
“…………”
The song is a fast-paced song, which fits the fashion theme very well. Although the rhythm is fast, Marcoer sings out a feeling of fatigue, which makes people feel the loneliness in the prosperity as soon as they listen to it.
This also fits the image of her character Mary in the play quite well. I have to say that this is a rare good song.
Zuo Ying'an nodded secretly after listening to it. There was absolutely no problem using this song as the theme song. Whether it was the melody, style, emotion or rhythm, it all matched the elements of the movie very well.
But of course he would not make a decision directly at this time. After all, there were two female protagonists competing at that time. If you make a decision now before the other one has released the song, it will easily give people a chance to criticize you. Why bother?
So after listening to it, Zuo Ying'an turned around and asked Yan Zi without comment: "How is it, Yan Zi?"
This sentence means both asking her how her song is going and asking how her song preparations are going.
"It sounds good!" Yan Zi would never lie when it came to music. No matter who sang the song, if she thought it sounded good, it was good.
"The song is mournful yet not melancholic. It captures the beauty of the vibrant fashion scene and the vibrant lights of the catwalk, while also conveying the longing of a lonely soul for a ray of light that belongs only to them. I think it fits the film perfectly and will resonate with many people."
Ma Keer and Zuo Ying'an didn't expect Yan Zi to speak so highly of this song, and his evaluation was very accurate. It seems that this best newcomer in music is well-deserved and has something of something.
What surprised everyone even more was that Yan Zi went on to say, "I personally think this song is more suitable for the theme song, while my song is more suitable for the ending theme song."
Once she said this, it meant that she gave up the competition for the theme song, which was something that Marco and others had not expected.
"Can we listen to your song?" Marker asked curiously. After getting to know Yan Zi for so many days, she knew that Yan Zi was not someone who would give up easily. She must have her own reasons for thinking that her song was more suitable for the ending song.
Yan Zi glanced at Feng Xiaoyun, and the two exchanged glances before nodding and saying, "We haven't recorded the song yet, but we can sing it live here for everyone."
Feng Xiaoyun connected his tablet, which had the accompaniment of the song on it, while Yan Zi asked the staff to bring a microphone and connect it to the audio equipment that Marco had just used.
“If pride is not coldly slapped down by the sea of reality”
“How can I understand how to work harder?”
The prelude is only 20 seconds long, and the song has a fast tempo, sung with Yan Zi's bright voice.
"Keep your tears in your heart"
"Brave flowers will bloom"
“Can be used during tired times”
"Close your eyes and smell a fragrance"
When hearing this line, director Zuo Ying'an couldn't help but tremble in his heart. This line of lyrics is so good, it perfectly interprets Anne's initial mental journey.
And when the chorus came out, the thoughts of all the listeners were drawn into the song.
"Hold the original dream tightly in your hands"
“The place I most want to go”
“How can you turn back halfway?”
Yes, apart from some who stay here just to make a living, too many people enter this circle because of the dream of making movies.
But how many people can still remember their original dreams?
Even Zuo Ying'an and Ma Ke'er fell into deep thought. What was their original dream?
“A real desire has been realized”
"Only then can we be considered to have been to heaven..."
After the last line of lyrics was sung, the entire set fell silent.
"Huh!" Finally, director Zuo Ying'an breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Yan Zi with complicated eyes, and then led the applause.
"Pa pa pa pa pa!" Even Marco, who was present at the scene, gave applause to Yan Zi and Feng Xiaoyun.
"Another excellent piece of work, but why do you think this song is more suitable as the ending song?" Zuo Ying'an asked after the applause ended.
Marco was also very curious. To be fair, she even felt that Yan Zi's song was slightly better.
"Because I think that although this movie describes a fashion story, its core is still about the pursuit of dreams."
Yan Zi gathered his words and said, "I wanted to put this song at the end because I hope everyone who has watched the movie will hear it and be reminded of their original dreams. I hope they won't turn back halfway for various reasons."
After listening to it, Zuo Ying'an thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed true. Marco's song was more fashionable and it came at the beginning, which made it easier for the audience to get into the mood of the movie and definitely had a positive effect on the viewing experience.
Yan Zi's song is more like the finishing touch, telling everyone what he wanted to express after the movie.
"Clap, clap, clap!" The applause rang out again. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Marco who was clapping.
"You win, Yan Zi." Marco said sincerely looking at Yan Zi.
If it were her, would she give up competing for the theme song for such a reason?
She didn't know, and her current self certainly didn't know, but what about her past self? She didn't know!
Or maybe it's like a line from one of my songs: "Time has made you and me mediocre. Who could have predicted that?"
Theme song of "Fashion Devil": "Lights"
Ending theme of "Fashion Devil": "The First Dream"
