The Greatest Showman

One Thousand One Hundred and Sixty-Six Karma

Whether it's the boxing brothers, or Ben Bennett or Marcus Mumford, they're pure musicians.

Ben Bennett, formerly known as joseph-buett, is a grassroots music creator who grew up in the 1960s, mingled in the 1970s, and became famous in the 1980s, working in the music industry. Among them, he gave himself a nickname, "t-bone (T-bone steak)", and accidentally broke the name, so it gradually became what people called him.

The music creator has always insisted on making grassroots music such as folk, bluegrass, and country, and has many similarities with George Slender, but unfortunately, as a singer, Benn's talent has never really been able to bloom. The radiant light, although occupying a place in the industry, is far from being "like thunderous" for ordinary music fans.

Later, Benn gradually retreated behind the scenes and turned to work as a producer. Only then did he really shine and discover his potential. The objects of cooperation include the band Who (the-), etc., and have achieved brilliant achievements far beyond the singer's career.

After that, Benn befriended Ethan Cohen and was invited to produce the soundtrack of the movie "Three Kings Escape from Prison", and his career ushered in a golden period. In the production of original music for the movie, his talent was very good. Incisively and vividly.

Works such as "Walking With The Song", "Crazy Heart" and the TV series "Music Country" created his era of triumph in his career, and won the Oscar for Best Original Song with "Crazy Heart"; coming in 2014 For the TV series "True Detective", which was launched, all the soundtracks were also arranged by him.

This time, the song selection and adaptation opinions in the creation stage of "Drunken Country Ballads" all came from Benn. Next, Benn will also cooperate with a group of actors/singers to further complete the production of the original soundtrack.

Although Benn has a good relationship with the film circle, in fact, he has almost no chance to meet the actors - if it is not for the music movie, the creators of the soundtrack and original songs hardly need to meet the actors. Strictly speaking, he is still a musician.

As for Marcus Mumford, he is more professional and dedicated. He is purely a singer, from an indispensable band in the rising trend of folk music in the past two years. Son of Mumford, Marcus is a guitar and drummer , and also the lead singer.

Mumford & sons, the name is derived from Marcus's surname, Mumford (mumford), and several other members are not Marcus's children, just band members. Founded in 2oo7, this British indie folk band has achieved incredible success in just a few short years.

By the way, Marcus is only two years older than Renly.

In people's fixed impressions, it seems that folk songs belong to those vicissitudes of life and middle-aged melodies. Only after experiencing the ups and downs of life can we truly compose a movement that touches the soul, but this is not the case. Not just now, nor in the 1960s, Bob Dylan released his first album when he was twenty-one years old and was already famous by the age of twenty-two.

Son of Montfort has now released two albums, Marcus is one of the main creators, and both albums have been sought after by music critics from all over the world, and their rise is a rocket.

This time, Marcus was invited to "play" the role of Mickey, and will appear as a voice in his first and probably only film.

Interesting about how Marcus joined the cast of "Drunken Country Ballads".

The Coen brothers and Renly began to discuss the right person for the role of Mickey, because only two songs need to be sung, and there is no need to appear on the scene, so pure folk singers can be invited to play.

The first choice that came to Joel's mind was bon-iver, but Ethan didn't think it was a good idea.

Renly's opinion is that the bon-iver is an excellent option, but not the best option.

According to his own conception and setting, Le Verne and Mickey should be about the same age.

On the road to realize the dream of folk music, the two walked side by side, starting from scratch, learning guitar together, learning to create together, and recording albums together. They are not only partners, but also friends. This experience was crucial to the song the duo sang together, as well as to Le Verne's emotional transformation.

So Mickey had better be around twenty-three or twenty-four.

This has a premise.

Historically, in 1961, Bob Dylan just turned 20, and Dave Van Rank was only 25 years old, and the difference between the two was only five years old.

In the character setting stage, the Coen brothers didn't think about this at all. After Renly's schedule relationship determined that they could not act, it was very rare in the whole of Hollywood to be able to satisfy the choice of actors and singers at the same time. So they dropped that completely, which brought Oscar Isaac to the final run--he's thirty-four years old this year.

After the twists and turns, Renly joined the crew.

During the character communication between Renly and the Coen brothers, he revealed more important factors in the character setting, which also reminded the Coen brothers that although age is not important in the movie, no one ever mentioned it, nor did he The relevant influence is not shown in the plot and lines, but it is very important for the performance and story details.

After much deliberation, the Coen brothers decided to use Renly's real age, which is twenty-three, which is infinitely close to the real-life singers Bob and Dave in 1961. Definitely the best option for the whole story.

Joel's proposed bon-iver, now thirty-one years old; it would have been perfect if it were Oscar Isaac, but now it's Renly.

Subsequently, Ed Sheeran, Tom - Odell (tom-ode11), Sophie Yang - Stevens (sufjan-stevens) and other emerging singers have entered the line of sight.

Originally Renly's personal friend Ed Sheeran has become an important candidate, but then Renly mentioned the son of Mumford, who has been popular in the past two years. Personally, he likes Marcus Mumford very much. His voice, with some rock in the folk songs, is closer to the singing of the second half of the 1960s, while Ed is a better combination of folk and pop.

It was a pity that Renly and the Blessed Son had no personal relationship, and the invitation was bound to be very difficult.

To this end, the Coen brothers found Justin Timberlake.

Justin did not push back, and took the responsibility of contacting Marcus without saying a word. It is a pity that I received a regretful reply. The Blessed Son is currently on a world tour. It will start from December at the end of the year and will continue until the summer vacation of this year, so I can't make time for it in a short period of time.

Another timing issue. But this is Hollywood, and top people are always full of countless jobs. "The Avengers" is a typical representative. The shooting time must be negotiated, negotiated, and negotiated again. Just one schedule is enough to make the crew overwhelmed.

Although he was stunned, he couldn't do anything about it.

At this moment, Carey Mulligan, who inadvertently overheard the discussion, stopped and cast a curious gaze, "You mean, Marcus of the Sons of Mumford?" Got the Coen Brothers After the affirmative reply, "If you have any need, I can help to contact you."

Renly immediately responded, "How did I forget. You should be more familiar with British circles than I am. Sorry, I should have asked you directly." Renly, they all started with the UK as their base camp. The entertainment industry seems to be very big, but it is actually very small.

Facing Renly's "sudden realization", Kerry showed a big smile, and her cheerful laughter made everyone confused, and she explained, "Yes, I am very familiar with Marcus, We will see each other often." Then, Carey took out the necklace that he had been wearing on his chest and showed the pendant on it.

That's a ring.

A stunned look flickered in Renly's eyes, and then he rubbed his forehead in annoyance. He remembered a detail, an important detail. When the crew met on the first day, Kerry was wearing this ring on the ring finger of his left hand. In other words, it's a wedding ring.

Ethan, Joel, and Justin who were standing beside them were still confused and didn't react for a while, because they didn't notice the relevant little details on the first day, so naturally they couldn't interpret them further, and then they turned around and left. Kerry, the three of them all cast inquiring glances at Renly.

"Marcus Mumford is Carey's husband." Renly explained, and when he recalled his "sudden realization" just now, a rare, embarrassing smile appeared on the corner of Renly's mouth.

Later, they found out. Marcus and Carey were actually pen pals when they were young, but they lost touch. After growing up, they met unexpectedly in the workplace and got acquainted again. Only then did they realize that the other party was the little friend from childhood.

After only a few weeks of dating, the two decided to get married. Last April, they fulfilled their commitment to each other.

Both Marcus and Kerry are very, very low-key personalities. They have never made a big splash or entered the paparazzi's sight. They just hired relatives and friends, and they have completed a lifelong event in this way, so that not many people know about it. . The "Drunken Country Ballad" crew is naturally the same.

After Kerry's communication, Marcus nodded and agreed to come and play in friendship. However, he was only on tour for five days, and took advantage of such a short gap to come to New York, hoping to finish all the work as soon as possible - and reunite with his wife by the way.

But whether it's Marcus, Benn, or the boxing brothers, they are more familiar and close to Justin, but now, Justin finds that he is not useful at all; moreover, his "lateness" also makes him a outsiders.

"When did arriving at the studio 15 minutes early turned out to be late?" Justin was full of question marks now.

But there was no time to discuss now. Justin stepped forward quickly, sat down next to him, and listened, hoping that he could get into the rhythm of the conversation as soon as possible.
