Chapter 376 OST

BBQ fried chicken shop, Sanyi-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul. ₆₉ₛₕᵤₓ.cₒₘ

This small fried chicken shop with European-style interior has been booked by the crew of "Goblin".

The fried chicken shop where the heroine of "Goblin" works part-time and is run by the second female Sunny is here.

Lee Dong-wook, wearing a black suit and a black coat, is acting nervously with Yang Mi, who is wearing a rose-red hip skirt and has curly hair.

It's normal to be nervous.

Wu Yuan, who had no scenes in the afternoon, was whispering with Song Yang behind the monitor.

It would be strange if they were not nervous to act under the watchful eyes of this international director.

But they thought too much. In fact, Wu Yuan was not here to watch them act.

"Director Song, don't schedule the filming for me tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, just shoot the side story."

"I have something to deal with here."

Wu Yuan came to negotiate the filming schedule with Song Yang.

If another leading actor said this, Song Yang would definitely be angry with him.

Unfortunately, it was Wu Yuan who came to ask for the schedule. Song Yang didn't dare and didn't have the courage to refuse, so he could only nod: "I know, let's continue to shoot the line of the underworld messenger tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will arrange it."

Wu Yuan nodded with satisfaction, patted Song Yang's shoulder to encourage him, and then got up and left the scene.

He was not interested in staying here to watch Yang Mi and Lee Dong Wook filming.

What's so good about acting? He has been watching it for decades.

Pai patting his butt, Wu Yuan got in the car and went to the music distribution and management department of CJ Group.

The chaebols in South Korea are basically monopolistic.

Like CJ Group, its main business is the largest food company in South Korea. It made its fortune by making food, but after reaching the current scale of the consortium, it has long been more than just making food.

It not only has a food and catering business group, but also a biological and pharmaceutical business group, a new distribution business group, and an entertainment and media business group.

In 1995, CJ and director Spielberg and others jointly established Dream Works, thus starting the film and television business.

While distributing movies produced by Dream Works in Korea and Southeast Asia, CJ actively participates in the production of Korean movies, and also extends its tentacles to the fields of television and music, intending to build an omni-channel entertainment business group.

Since he has already cooperated with CJ, Wu Yuan certainly does not bother two masters for one thing.

The reason why he went to CJ's music distribution department this time was to solve some problems in the production of the OST of "Goblin".

"Goblin" is a rare TV series where the OST and the feature film complement each other.

When this drama was broadcast popularly, it contributed many famous scenes combined with the OST.

For example, when the Goblin and the Grim Reaper saved the heroine, they walked against the light on the avenue like models, accompanied by the appropriate background music. That shot became a famous scene in the hearts of all the audiences, and it is unforgettable even after several years, becoming one of the classic shots of Korean dramas.

In this, the picture and the sound effect are both indispensable.

If there was no such appropriate background music, the scene would lose a lot of essence and would not be so memorable.

There are many shots like this where the background music and the picture are perfectly matched.

It can be said that the OST of this "Goblin" has also made great efforts.

If you want to perfectly reproduce the performance of "Goblin" in Wu Yuan's dream that was popular in Asia, then restoring the OST of this TV series is also the top priority.

Unfortunately, Wu Yuan really doesn't know Korean, not even a little bit.

Although everything he experienced in his dream seemed to be engraved in his mind, extremely clear, and he has not forgotten it at all after so many years.

But it is really too difficult for him to remember and sing all those Korean lyrics perfectly.

The only thing he could do was to restore the accompaniment of the music, and he still had some confidence in this aspect.

After composing the theme song of "Your Name" and composing two songs for Liu Yifei, Wu Yuan can be said to have quite a lot of experience in music.

Some time ago, he took some time to restore the OST score of "Goblin" in his memory.

But it still lacks the most important complete arrangement and perfect lyrics.

Lyrics are not very important. The idol era in Korea has been rising for nearly ten years. Major music companies have a large number of professional lyricists, and they can fill in lyrics that are above the passing line.

After all, except for China, the music of most countries in the world does not pay much attention to lyrics, but pays attention to arrangement, and the lyrics are very straightforward.

There is no way, not every language is as beautiful as Chinese.

Most foreign songs are good to Chinese people, mainly because the music is good. If you really look at the lyrics translation, those lyrics that are full of vernacular are really eye-catching.

When "Goblin" was popular in Asia, it was not certain that many audiences outside of Korea could understand the lyrics of the OST. It was just that the melody of the music was very suitable for the picture, which produced the effect of 1+1 greater than 2.

If you can restore most of the song arrangements of the OST, you can basically restore the essence.

With five or six scores prepared in advance, Wu Yuan came to CJ's music production department, intending to brainstorm with their arrangement teacher for a few days to improve these rough scores that only had melodies, and by the way, ask CJ's lyricist to write a few more lyrics.

He didn't care about the copyright of these songs, and it was okay to split half with CJ's music department.

How much money can you make from writing songs?

Even Jay Chou, the superstar of the era who changed the Chinese music scene, only makes eight figures a year, which is less than a fraction of the box office of his movie.

"Mi Mi!"

"Today is your first scene!"

On the set, just as Wu Yuan was busy going to CJ to finish the OST production, Liu Yifei also arrived late.

She smiled and hugged Yang Mi, who had just finished filming a scene. She seemed to be very familiar and enthusiastic, holding her hand and said, "How is it? Is it hard to work with Korean actors?"

"When you two were filming, you spoke Chinese and he spoke Korean. I was worried about you. It was really difficult to film like this. You not only have to remember your own words, but also his words, otherwise you don't know how to react correctly."

Liu Yifei's personality is warm on the outside and cold on the inside. It seems that she can chat with anyone and say a few words to anyone, but in fact she keeps a deep sense of distance from most actors in the circle.

Most of her besties are not in the circle. There are only a few real friends in the circle, such as Su Chang.

It's just that now she has more and more boss lady style. After learning that Yang Mi has signed with Guangying Times, she consciously wants to take care of the artists under this company, for fear that she will encounter any difficulties in filming in Korea.

Liu Yifei's enthusiasm made Yang Mi, who thought she was very cold when filming "The Return of the Condor Heroes", feel very uncomfortable.

When filming The Return of the Condor Heroes, when Liu Yifei didn't have a role, she always held a few books and sat in the corner of the studio reading quietly. She rarely communicated with other people in the crew. Liu Xiaoli, who was protecting her children, was by her side. Yang Mi really didn't have much contact with her.

"Oh, hehe." Yang Mi smiled a little uncomfortable and shook her head and said, "Brother Dongxu is very good. He will help me study how to play Sunny well. Although we don't speak the same language, he helped me a lot."

"Brother Dongxu?" Liu Yifei repeated the name with a strange expression and whispered something in Yang Mi's ear.

Yang Mi's face instantly flushed, "No! Really not!"

"It's just a colleague, help between colleagues!"
