Chapter 1797 The Final Sprint
Once "21Guns" was released, it quickly ranked in the top three on the authoritative rankings in many places around the world, and achieved very proud results in all English-speaking countries around the world.
Even in China, Japan and South Korea, they have become the top five in the rankings.
Li Mu also used his own publicity channels to promote the theme song on a global scale, using this song to enhance mutual influence with the movie.
In order to make the song better serve the movie, Li Mu asked YYtunes to open the copyright of this song to all radio and TV stations for free, and on YYtunes, it provides free trial listening and download to users around the world.
At present, the record industry is still relatively good, and it has not fallen into the situation where it is almost completely replaced by digital music in later generations. There are very few songs that are free from all channels, especially for ordinary users to try and download.
In developed countries with relatively sound copyright awareness, the only way to store a song privately and listen to it at any time is to buy an album, or directly buy a digital album on an online platform. Other than that, there is almost no other way. .
Because of this, when singers release films, they are also very good at arranging troops.
For example, for an album, there are often only one or two real title songs. Even if a singer has several great songs at the same time, he will not consider releasing them in the same album, because users are usually for one or two songs. And choose to buy the album.
There are very few singers who can guarantee that most of the songs are of high quality like the early Jay Chou albums.
Often, they only need one or two title songs and some saliva songs that they have heard and forgotten to make an album, and then use the influence of the title songs to quickly make money, and then use one or two title songs to match a few songs. The saliva song, released the second album, and made another round of money.
"21Guns" is now soaring in global influence. If YYtunes provides users with the option of paid downloads, they can earn at least a few million dollars, but Li Mu still decided to go the free route.
There is a world of difference between being completely free and charging a penny, and anywhere in the world, free attracts the most users.
Just a few days after the song was launched, it has reached the top of the charts in North America, and Europe has also rushed to the runner-up position in the United Kingdom, and the momentum is particularly strong.
As high-profile as this song, there is also the singer of this song, Du Wei, who is under 20 years old.
Although it is somewhat unrealistic to rely on one song to become a first-line singer overseas, this song has clearly laid a solid foundation for Du Wei in the overseas market.
Li Mu thinks that Du Wei's popularity will definitely be higher after the film is released, so he will strike while the iron is hot and release a few classic English singles for her, so that she can consolidate her influence in the overseas market.
No matter whether it is a singer or a movie star, only if there are good works that continue to come out, can they continue to grow on the basis of ensuring that their popularity and influence will not decline, but once they lose the support of good works, no matter how famous the stars are, they will also It starts to go down because it loses the momentum to go up.
Li Mu has already planned the follow-up song route for Du Wei, and as a whole, he is closely watching the three major female singers who have become popular in Europe and the United States in later generations, Adele Adkins, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga.
Each of these three female singers has a lot of title songs that are popular all over the world.
Such as Adele Adkins' "", "LikeYou", "RollingInTheDeep", "SetFireToTheRain", etc.;
Taylor Swift's "LoveStory", "Fearless", "WeAreNeverEverGettingBackTogether" and more;
Lady Gaga's "PokerFace", "JustDance", "BadRomance", "TheCure".
Almost any of these songs are taken out, and they all have the potential to single out the champions of music charts around the world. If ordinary singers can produce such a god-level single, they can basically rank in the front line, and there can be three or five songs. Basically, he can win a Grand Slam in all music awards and become one of the world's top singers.
Du Wei was born in music, and has an excellent voice. With such conditions, as long as there are good songs, they will definitely become popular. If there are popular songs, they can almost smash the charts all over the world.
Thinking of this, a song suddenly flashed into Li Mu's mind, Adele's "SetFireToTheRain", the Chinese translation is more appropriate is "Burning the Rain with Fire".
The tune of the song is majestic and tragic, and the lyrics as a whole describe a love affair that ended in failure.
There are a lot of very infatuation lyrics in the lyrics, such as close your eyes, feel you are always with me, I burn the rain with fire, throw us all into the fire, and as the rain falls, some things pass away quietly because I Know it's the last time, it's the last time! I burn the rain, I watch it pour down when I touch your cheek, well I cry when it burns...
Li Mu thinks that this song can be used as the second stage of the movie's promotional song. With a little modification to the lyrics, the lyrics can be changed to a farewell between lovers. It is also a fire to burn the rain, but it is not to throw love in the rain. , or thrown into the fire, but to imply the despair and pain in the heart of the girl who loved him when the pilot died generously in the air.
As long as a little change is made, it is especially in line with Anne Hathaway's mood when Liu Ye died in the "Flying Tigers".
This song itself is a very popular song, and it is one level higher than "21 Guns" in all aspects. Therefore, if it is used as the last sprint before the release, this song will definitely be a hit, and at the same time, it can also make the movie popular. propaganda to a new level.
Li Mu thought of it and did it. He immediately wrote the lyrics of "SetFireToTheRain" according to his memory, and then adjusted the lyrics accordingly.
Change "I burn the rain with fire" in the lyrics to "You burn the rain with fire", which means from the perspective of a female singer, watching the male protagonist explode in the air and burst into flames and die for the country.
The general meaning of this song is that the male protagonist and the female protagonist love each other, but because the male protagonist generously went to the national disaster and finally sacrificed in the battlefield in the sky, the female protagonist can only fall into endless pain.
However, Li Mu did not describe the national disaster and sacrifice very directly, but used the words "you fly into the air, you burn the rain with fire" to convey such thoughts implicitly.
When this song and this movie are combined, people will naturally think of the male protagonist's plane taking off to fight, and finally blood spilling into the sky;
When this song is taken out and listened to alone, it can also be understood that the man left the heroine for freedom or other pursuits, leaving the heroine alone, which is extremely painful, which is more in line with the way of a love song.
Anyway, the core points of love songs in the world are nothing more than a few: we love each other, I love you but you don't love me, you love me but I don't love you, I love you but you don't know.
Of course, if you have to play tricks and engage in a core such as "I love you but I love him too", you will basically be scolded for being unrighteous.
Therefore, as long as you write love songs around these four basic core points, from the perspective of conception, you can gain a large audience, and this song can just cut into the point that I love you, but you don't love me, you can pun intended, it's perfect.
After getting the lyrics, Li Mu immediately contacted the best music producer team in China to start arranging the song.
This time, Li Mu invited all the top domestic musicians, and many of them were not even from the same record company, but because of Li Mu's detached status in the entertainment industry, everyone immediately put down their jobs and went to Yanjing to find him to report. .
Spielberg assigned the cast to a roadshow lineup.
Asian countries, such as China, Japan and South Korea, are in charge of Tom Hanks with Liu Ye and Anne Hathaway, while Western countries are in charge of Leonardo and Du Wei.
The reason for this arrangement is, on the one hand, because Liu Ye, Anne Hathaway; Leonardo and Du Wei themselves are prospective lovers and lovers in the movie, so this combination is more attractive to the audience.
As for why Du Wei went to Europe and the United States, Anne Hathaway came to Asia mainly for the consideration of two girls. Now Du Wei needs to open the western market, and Anne Hathaway also needs to open the eastern market, so the two exchanged with each other. is the most appropriate.
As for Liu Ye, he is still a newcomer, and he is not yet famous in mainland China, and it is not like Du Wei already has a song "21 Guns" as a foreshadowing, and now going to the West to promote, he must be a passerby through and through, so It is better to do business in China, Japan and South Korea first. After all, his appearance is still relatively good in East Asia. More importantly, he does have the taste of a tough guy. If he seizes the opportunity of the road show, he should be able to raise a lot of popularity.
According to the agreement, Du Wei will soon leave for the United States, starting with the United States, after about ten roadshows in several major cities in the United States, and then going straight to Europe, and there are ten more in the four countries of Britain, France, Germany and Italy. The road show left and right, running all the way down, basically the movie should be released.
Therefore, Li Mu wanted to record this song before Du Wei left.
Even if there are still adjustments after the arrangement, as long as the overall tone of the song, as well as the singing style, speed, intensity and other key links are determined, and Du Wei has finished recording the singing, the rest of the arrangement team can continue to refine the song. Modify it, and then adapt it to the singing track recorded by Du Wei.
This kind of routine is very common in the process of record recording. It is equivalent to asking the model to determine all the proportions and sizes of the body, and then handing over the production of the clothes to a group of experienced designers and tailors. After they finish the clothes, Put your clothes on again.
Du Wei didn't expect that Li Mu would be able to write a song before his upcoming road show in the United States, so he hurriedly pushed aside all the previous arrangements and plunged into the recording studio with Li Mu.
For her, what she likes most is the process of recording songs with Li Mu, because during this process, Li Mu will be with her almost all the time. I'll keep cheering her on outside the studio, through the soundproof glass.
For Du Wei, who was in the beginning of her love affair, if she could see Li Mu outside during the recording, she could almost maximize her potential, because in her heart, she would not let Li Mu down, and she even wanted to let Li Mu be able to use it. Be proud of yourself!
