Chapter 1506 Theme Song

At this time, most of the students of the Conservatory of Music are already on vacation, but top students like Du Wei, as well as a few other students who have stayed in Beijing, have specially arranged extra classes. At the same time, the school has several more important musicals coming soon. It is staged in various places, so there are not many people in the school.

Li Mu's commercial car drove all the way to the bottom of the building of the Conservatory of Music. After the car stopped for a few minutes, Du Wei, who was dressed up, quickly walked out of the building accompanied by several stylists.

Du Wei's look today is indeed impeccable. Rao is Li Mu, a well-informed person who has lived for two lifetimes. He was also speechless when he saw Du Wei for the first time.

In the era of plastic surgery and beauty for the whole people in later generations, Li Mu has seen too many beauties with similar appearances, but no one can be as perfect as Du Wei, which makes people feel unrealistic.

From the moment Du Wei got in the car, she saw that Li Mu's expression was a little stunned, her palm-sized face instantly turned pink, and she called out, "Brother Li Mu."

Only then did Li Mu really come back to his senses. He smiled slightly to conceal it, and said, "Xiao Wei, your outfit today is really beautiful."

"Really?" Du Wei smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you brother Li Mu."

Li Mu said with a smile: "When you arrive at the scene later, the media reporters and the guests will definitely be amazed by you. I'm afraid even the movie will be forgotten."

Du Wei said shyly: "In that case, I wouldn't have dressed up so grandly if I knew it earlier..."

The driver had already left the Conservatory of Music by this time, and Li Mu asked Du Wei, "How's the crew doing recently?"

Du Wei said: "I haven't been scheduled for my part in the last two weeks. Everyone is focusing on shooting the aerial combat scenes, as well as the scenes of the Flying Tigers base, so Leonardo, Uncle Tom, Sister Annie and Brother Liu Ye are relative to each other. I'll be more relaxed if I'm busy, and after a few days, the crew will start filming the plot between me and Leonardo, and Uncle Tom, Sister Annie, and Brother Liu Ye will be able to take a vacation and rest."

Du Wei's role in "Flying Tigers" is the daughter of a local peasant's family. In the script, her role mainly focuses on Leonardo's role after the Flying Tigers pilot was injured and parachuted out, so the roles of the two are in the scene. Above, it has nothing to do with the aviation school and air combat, and it can also be staggered from other scenes if it is taken out and shot separately.

Hearing her say this, Li Mu also understood why she didn't have to film on the set now, and also understood why Anne Hathaway had time to go to the UK next month to attend the so-called old-money party.

At this moment,

Li Mu suddenly thought of something and asked Du Wei, "Have the soundtrack and theme song of the Flying Tigers been set?"

"Not yet." Du Wei said: "The director mentioned it once before, meaning that the soundtrack has been entrusted to a soundtrack master he has worked with for many years, and the theme song is still being collected, although the Flying Tigers is a war-themed movie. , but he prefers to find a song with anti-war as its core idea as the theme song of the movie."

"Anti-war..." Li Mu nodded lightly.

Great directors generally like to pass on some values. Although the film is a war movie about bloody battles in the sky, they hope that everyone can reflect on the war and hope for world peace. This may be the director's humanistic feelings.

Moreover, although this is a film co-produced by Huaxia and the United States, or even fully funded by Huaxia Capital, the goal of this movie in the future is to land in Hollywood and the global market, so Li Mu himself knows a few key points:

First of all, although the film "Flying Tigers" takes place in China and between Chinese people and Americans, the narrative angle must mainly penetrate from the roles of Americans, so that it can cater to the global market;

Secondly, the main language of the film must be English, followed by Chinese. Not only all the American characters played by American actors must speak English, but even the representative of the Chinese Air Force played by Liu Ye, who has undergone a higher education , so in the Flying Tigers against these American actors to speak English;

Finally, the theme song of the film must be an English song.

If such a movie, when the last touching moment, comes with a piece of "Don't Spoil" by the Black Panthers, the Chinese audience will definitely feel ok, but other audiences around the world will be stunned.

Thinking of this, Li Mu is somewhat regretful. With his love for Du Wei, he really wanted to find an opportunity to let Du Wei also contribute in this movie, but now it seems that it is a bit troublesome.

The most important thing is not that Du Wei is not suitable to sing, but that I really can't think of an anti-war song in English for a while, otherwise I will get one and sing it for Du Wei, and the theme song of the movie will be there.

Li Mu asked Du Wei, "Did Spielberg say which singers or songwriters he might be looking for?"

Du Wei nodded and said, "Spielberg likes enya and pinkfloyd very much. He really wants to make a song with them."

Li Mu said, "Enya's song is fine in The Lord of the Rings, but isn't it a bit inappropriate for a war movie? As for pinkfloyd, the classic "wish-you-were-here" may you be here, but It still fits the theme, but that song is especially suitable for the last scene, when the old Annie returned to China and stood in front of the tombstone of Liu Ye's character, as the curtain call for the whole movie, but , I think the theme song of the movie should be used when the plot is the most exciting, that is, the scene where Liu Ye's character battles the sky and blood is spilled in the sky at the end."

Du Wei agreed: "I also think so, the song "May You Be Here" is indeed the most suitable for ending the whole movie, and it is best to re-edit and re-record, shorten the prelude, and sing quickly. ."

Li Mu said: "You can communicate with Spielberg about this at that time. I believe in your talent in music."

Du Wei smiled lightly and said, "Then I'll try to mention it to the director."

Li Mu pondered over the appropriate song in his mind. At this time, Wang Yuenlang, who was driving, said, "Mr. Li, it is 7:21. We will be at the scene in five minutes, and the car will wait outside the venue for a few minutes. The guide arranged for us to drive in on time at 7:30, when the car stops directly at the end of the red carpet, you get off first, and then help Miss Du to get off."

"Okay." Li Mu nodded, picked up his phone and glanced at it, the words 19:21 were displayed on the screen.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a melody immediately appeared in his mind.

Immediately, he clapped his hands excitedly, and said to Du Wei: "Xiao Wei, go back and tell Spielberg that I suggested that he use pinkfloyd's "wish-you-were-here" for the ending song. As for the theme song, I To solve it, and it must be an anti-war song in English, so he doesn't have to worry about it."

Du Wei asked in surprise, "Brother Li Mu, do you want to write it yourself?"

Li Mu nodded lightly: "I wrote it myself."

Du Wei hurriedly asked: "You are so busy now, do you still have time to write songs?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "There is still time to squeeze in. Besides, there is still some time before the movie is finished, and it will take some time in the later stage. It takes so long to write a song. It's enough."

Although he said that, Li Mu already had a choice in his heart.

He wanted to get green-day's "21guns" out, and he still asked Du Wei to sing this song.

For a punk band, "21guns" is indeed a rare depth song, no longer all powerful chords and various complaints against society, but a heartfelt call to stop the war.

Li Mu likes the melody of the song "21guns" very much, and also likes the second half of his lyrics. The only thing that makes him feel that it is not very appropriate for "Flying Tigers" is its lyrics:

do-you-know-what's-worth-fighting-for

when-it's-not-worth-dying-for

does-it-take-your-breath-away

and-you-feel-yourself-suffocating

These two lyrics are translated, roughly meaning:

"Do you know what you are fighting for?

When all this is not worth your life for it,

Did it take your breath away?

Do you feel like you are about to suffocate? "

The following lyrics are translated as follows:

"Are pain and glory equally important?

Are you looking for a place to hide?

Has anyone pierced your chest?

All you have left is the wreckage..."

The starting point of green-day is a comprehensive anti-war, which is to deny all wars with one stick.

Speaking of which, this approach is indeed a bit hasty, because many wars themselves are absolutely just wars, and such wars can never be denied.

Just like Huaxia, who desperately resisted Japanese aggression in World War II;

Just like the Soviet Union in World War II, which was fully defending its enemies;

Just like Britain, which never surrendered, and the United States, which finally landed in Normandy;

For these countries, the war itself can be denied, but the significance of their participation in the war must not be denied.

The reason why green-day wrote such a song, Li Mu analyzed that this may be related to the fact that the Americans rarely fought just wars after World War II. Every war the United States fought after World War II did not have enough legal support, and some even made it clear It is aggression, especially the Vietnam War. The Americans themselves feel that they have no light on their faces, and they reflect on the huge damage that the Vietnam War has brought to their country all day long.

Against this social background, it is indeed easy for the younger generation of the United States to hold an overall negative attitude towards all wars.

But this is obviously inconsistent with the values ​​that Li Mu wants to convey to the world in "Flying Tigers".

Because both the Chinese people and the American Flying Tigers fought an absolutely just war during World War II. For the just side, they deserve thousands of praises!

So, Li Mu thought about it in his mind, and he must roughly change the lyrics.

Change it to:

"You always knew what you were fighting for.

For the devastated motherland and for the peace of the world.

Even if it takes your breath away,

You never regret it.

In your eyes, the motherland is more important than your own life,

When the war comes, you never thought to find a place to hide,

You shed blood for this inch of land,

Even if only the wreckage remains.

21 gun salutes,

With the highest respect to you;

21 gun salutes,

You traded your life for world peace!

21 gun salutes,

The world will never forget you.

21 gun salutes,
