Chapter 1799 Divine Comedy Birth

"rollg the deep" is definitely the pinnacle of popular music in the first two decades of the 21st century.

To be humble, you can add the word "one". If you are not humble, there is absolutely nothing wrong with not adding these two words.

Therefore, everyone in the recording studio, except Li Mu, was extremely excited.

Du Wei even calmed down several times before he could adjust his breathing and learn to sing this song.

And Zhang Yadong, who was in charge of production and arrangement, began to think about how to arrange such an excellent pop song while listening to Pastor Li teaching Du Wei to sing.

For a song, the foundation of the lyrics is very important, the singing of the singer is very important, and the arrangement is also very important.

Lyrics and music are like a person's facial features and figure, a singer's singing is like the person's feeling and temperament, and composition is like her hairstyle, makeup and clothing.

Take the Queen of Heaven for example, many people are not uglier than her, even more beautiful than her, but either their temperament is not as good as her, or their hairstyle, makeup and clothing style are not as good as her.

Therefore, she can always maintain a unique taste in the entertainment circle of beauties.

Zhang Yadong is like a stylist at this time, racking his brains desperately, trying to make the beautiful girl "rollg the deep" into a top super temperament beauty.

Just when Zhang Yadong exhausted all his inspirations and probably found an arrangement style, Li Mu had already taught Du Wei to sing this song and told her the feeling of this song.

Afterwards, Li Mu said to Zhang Yadong, "Mr. Yadong, this part of the arrangement..."

Zhang Yadong immediately blurted out, "Mr. Li, I have a rough idea about the arrangement..."

Li Mu smiled slightly, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yadong, I have some ideas for the arrangement, can you please improve it according to my ideas?"

"Ah" Zhang Yadong felt somewhat lost when he heard this.

Such a good work, if I can participate in the arrangement, I am really honored.

But unexpectedly,

Li Mu actually already had the idea of ​​arranging the music.

He knew very well in his heart that Li Mu could write such a song, and his understanding and attainment of music was already a genius. How to arrange music, then I can only serve as an auxiliary work.

However, for such a god-level pop song, even if it is an auxiliary job, it is already very satisfied.

So, Zhang Yadong immediately adjusted his mentality and asked Li Mu, "Mr. Li, can you give me a brief introduction to the arrangement?"

Li Mu said, "My idea is to be simple, use the acoustic guitar to mute the prelude, then Du Wei enters the first verse, and when the second verse, the drummer enters the kick drum to enhance the rhythm and atmosphere. Three stanzas go in the piano and bass, and then by the time the first chorus comes up, all the instruments come up and the harmony comes in."

While listening, Zhang Yadong nodded and said, "Then Mr. Li, I will communicate with the musicians, and then let's try it out first."

"it is good!"

Although Li Mu's description was not professional enough, Zhang Yadong was fortunately very professional. He quickly figured out Li Mu's needs, and then began to communicate with the musicians about the specific performance of the song.

Everyone rehearsed a few times, and after they had a clear idea of ​​the feeling, they called Du Wei too. Everyone walked around to try the feeling, and then perfected some small details.

The Black Swan Choir from the Central Conservatory of Music was invited by Zhang Yadong to do the harmony for "set fire to the ra". This is the first harmony singing group in China, and it is a true professional background. Music theory knowledge, vocal music The level is very high.

When they heard the song "rollg the deep", the three girls in the Black Swan Choir were deeply shocked. When they heard that they were fortunate enough to continue to participate in the harmony recording of this song, the three of them were very excited.

Zhang Yadong quickly perfected a set of two-voice harmony based on Li Mu's humming.

Immediately afterwards, everyone entered the studio for the first time to record.

Everyone's mood at this time is full of excitement and anticipation, because everyone knows that what they are about to record is an extremely rare classic masterpiece, and they are like sculptors facing a piece of the best material , There is only one idea in mind, we must make this work to the extreme.

Although this song is a classic, the overall arrangement is simple and straightforward. For professional musicians, the difficulty of this song's accompaniment is almost entry-level, so they quickly presented the accompaniment that is not inferior to the original version. .

Next, the most tested is Du Wei.

Her body is thin and her voice is not as rich as Adele's, but after all, she has learned to sing professionally, so she can be 80% close.

For a day and a half, Du Wei constantly adjusted her singing style, and constantly adjusted her voice to the style of the song. In the end, she successfully achieved 90% of the level of the original version.

After it was all recorded and mixed, everyone listened to the final version of the song with bated breath in front of the monitors.

From the prelude, the rhythm of this song is very clear, especially like constantly punching the heart of the audience with the same rhythm, which is very able to mobilize people's sense of rhythm.

When Du Wei started to sing, the charm of this song appeared at once.

With the increasing number of instruments and the continuous release of the overall momentum, the appeal of this song is getting stronger and stronger.

Until the chorus we uld have had it all, rollg the deep sang, everyone felt the atmosphere was so strong that it exploded!

Zhang Yadong was so excited that his hands were shaking. When the song was over, he immediately said to Li Mu, "Mr. Li, this song must go down in history! It's really great!"

Li Yanliang couldn't help but sigh, "Even if this song is taken to the Grammys, it is no less fake than the works of well-known European and American singers!"

Li Mu smiled lightly and said, "Xiaowei will go to the European and American road show soon, I will push the song "set fire to the ra" to the world before she starts the first road show. After the popularity, the movie is almost about to be released. I will let Spielberg make a new copy and put "rollg the deep" in the end credits stage. As the ending song of the whole movie, it will definitely shock everyone in the cinema. audience."

After that, Li Mu said, "At that time, everyone will be very curious about this song. If they want to know what this song is called and who sang it, they have to wait in the cinema until the end of the movie. Finally, the name of the song, as well as the names of the singers and the workers behind the scenes will appear. I assure you that the names of all the staff present today will appear in the sequence of the behind-the-scenes personnel of this song, and no matter what In any country in the world, we will show his Chinese name!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone cheered excitedly.

Even the three girls in the Black Swan chorus couldn't hold back their tears.

It was a great honor to be able to participate in the production of such a song, and it would be even more honored if this song could become the ending song of "Flying Tigers".

Moreover, if your name can also appear in the final subtitles, this is even more honored!

Li Mu is well aware of the artist's ultimate pursuit of works, and he immediately said, "If this song wins an award in the future, or is invited to perform on important occasions such as the Grammys and the Oscars, then I also promise everyone that everyone present will be The first choice for the performance, this song was created by everyone, and everyone has the right to join it on the world stage!"

This time, Rao is a man like Zhang Yadong and Li Yanliang, and his eyes are red.

...

Three days later, Du Wei took a flight to the United States.

Because this time around the United States and several European countries, Du Wei's mother and sister Du Fei personally accompanied her to the United States.

Li Mu donated his Gulfstream g550 to carry the three of them and other accompanying staff to travel around.

As for Liu Ye, who is going to hold a roadshow in Asia, naturally he does not have such high treatment.

Du Wei's first stop in the United States was Los Angeles, where Hollywood is located.

The first road show of "Flying Tigers" in the United States was in the best theaters and largest theaters in Hollywood.

Spielberg mobilized all his resources, and all the top Hollywood celebrities and the top American media will be present.

Roadshows, to put it bluntly, are selective early screenings.

For example, go to a Hollywood road show, invite Hollywood bosses and media reporters, and let them come and try the movie first. After watching, the main creator will come out and introduce more details of the movie to you. In this way, the second The media will report on it every day to increase the exposure of the film in front of the masses.

These celebrities who are present at the scene will also be a major selling point of media coverage, and the exposure of the film will be further improved at that time.

At the same time, there will be special commentators who will release film reviews that do not contain, or contain very few spoilers, to further arouse the audience's appetite.

The next stop was New York, and all the local celebrities and big media were invited.

Such continuous roadshows in front of high-end people and the media can generate enough local sensational effects, which is also the key purpose of roadshows.

For European and American audiences, Du Wei is completely unfamiliar to them. They have not seen any of Du Wei's films before, but have only seen some clips from Du Wei's released trailer, so she has nothing to do in Europe and America. Influence.

Now "21 guns" has been on the top of the music charts around the world for more than a week, and it can be said that Du Wei's reputation in Europe and the United States has finally been improved.

However, European and American music pays attention to exposure, and v is extremely important, because v can give the song a visual impact to the audience, allowing the audience to see the singer and the story behind the song when listening to the song.

Du Wei's "21 guns" suffers from the lack of v, so there is a phenomenon of "singing popular people not popular people".

However, Li Mu knew very well that when "set fire to the ra" was released, Du Wei would definitely make a sensation in Europe and America even if he did not show his face from beginning to end.

If you wait until "rollg the deep" comes out, the entire western world will be shocked by these two songs!
