Chapter 222 The Luck of Two People
"Ms. Chen, here are the music scores and lyrics. You can familiarize yourself with them first, and we will try the music later." Lu Dongjie handed something to Chen Meiling.
"Thank you." Chen Meiling nodded to Lu Dongjie with a smile, and her attitude was very affectionate.
She took it over and saw that the title of the song was "Hanasaki's Journey", so she sat aside, followed the lyrics and music, and started humming silently in her heart.
Business issues are usually handled by Xu Ruoqi, while technical issues are naturally handled by the production department. Lu Dongjie is usually responsible for controlling the overall situation, or filling in gaps on the side.
Universal Music Records has an independent performance room, which is basically equipped with some commonly used instruments.
"Ms. Chen, what key do you sing?" Lu Dongjie sat in front of the piano and raised his head and asked.
"Let's try upgrading 3 keys first." Chen Meiling smiled slightly, the little tiger teeth were very cute.
Lu Dongjie nodded, placed his fingers on the keys, and a piece of soothing music played.
Chen Meiling couldn't help but become a little nervous, but looking at Lu Dongjie who was calm and composed, she breathed a sigh of relief and sang softly to the rhythm:
Suzuna no flower pick み
The wind is blowing and the summer is clear
.......
Chen Meiling was a little bumpy at the beginning and couldn't find the right note, but she slowly got into the groove and became smoother. Although she still had flaws in her singing and other aspects, it didn't matter.
Lu Dongjie just familiarized her with it once. As for the later recording, it still had to be supervised by Yuta Ishihara. After all, he is a professional in Japanese pop music.
Standing aside, Shusuke Kikumaru and Yuta Ishihara both had brilliant eyes. Their love for this song was beyond words. Not only did the lyrics of this song have beautiful artistic conception, but the melody was also pleasant to the ear.
The most important thing is that the style of this song is also very suitable for Chen Meiling's singing style, as if it was tailor-made for Chen Meiling, so both of them feel like they have found a treasure.
They looked at Lu Dongjie who was playing the accompaniment, and couldn't help but admire him. Although they were sure that the lyrics of this song were not written by him, it was very impressive to be able to write this song.
You must know that writing a beautiful melody is definitely not an easy task. First, you must ensure that it echoes from beginning to end and has a tight structure. Secondly, you must also take into account the actual vocal range of the singer and the audience.
If semitones are not used, the music can only be played in the realm of eleven or twelve tones over and over again, which greatly limits the composer's creative space.
Compared with writing lyrics, it is much simpler. There are more than 3,000 commonly used Chinese characters. Once you know the music, follow the music according to the sound, and choose the words, it is actually not too difficult.
Therefore, lyricists are common, but composers are rare.
This is why in the golden age of the Hong Kong music scene, there were so many Cantonese pop songs that were adapted from Japanese songs and re-written with lyrics. Later, there was even a joke that Japanese singers supported half of the Hong Kong and Taiwan music circles.
The reason is that the number of local composers cannot meet the needs of the market, and there are a large number of vacancies that exceed supply and demand. The output of local composers cannot meet the requirements of record companies at all.
The six-note scale commonly used in Japanese pop songs is very consistent with the Chinese ear track. At the same time, Cantonese pop songs have always had the tradition of "music first, lyrics later", so giving priority to adapting Japanese songs satisfies the first requirement. A condition.
Secondly, multinational record groups such as PolyGram, EMI, and Warner own global mature music product resources, and these music products have successfully passed the test of the market.
You must know that 80% of the records released in the 1970s could not even earn back the cost. Therefore, adapting the mature products of foreign branches is the safest way, and it is also in the interests of these record groups.
And Lu Dongjie's method is even more simple and crude. He just uses it intact and exports it to domestic sales.
Originally, Lu Dongjie planned to do it all over again, but at Chen Meiling's request, Lu Dongjie practiced with her several times. The cooperation between the two gradually became tacit, and Chen Meiling seemed to get into the mood quickly.
"Are you leaving?" Chen Meiling saw that Lu Dongjie seemed to be leaving in a hurry and called him out.
"For post-production matters, you can just discuss it with the production department. I will be back when the official recording begins." Lu Dongjie smiled at her and waved his hand.
Chen Meiling looked at Lu Dongjie's leaving figure with a bit of reluctance in her heart. She wanted to get to know him better.
Lu Dongjie went downstairs to get his car and drove quickly to the north of the New Territories. Just now, Mi Xue called his office. Judging from her tone, she must have been wronged in some way during the filming.
It took Lu Dongjie nearly an hour to pick her up. At this time, she was still wearing a costume and her eyes were red. As soon as she got in the car, she threw herself into Lu Dongjie's arms, desperately trying to stop crying, but she couldn't.
"Did someone bully you? I'll help you teach him a lesson." Lu Dongjie hugged her and comforted her with a smile.
"That dead director, he deliberately made things difficult for me... He..." Mi Xue almost burst into tears.
"I'll go back tonight and beat him with a sack bag to help you vent your anger." Lu Dongjie patted her back gently and said matter-of-factly.
"He put me in a room with more than 20 rats. When I refused to take pictures, he scolded me and I ran away in anger." Mi Xue choked with sobs.
"It's so perverted. No, I will use a sack to catch him tonight, and I will also put snakes and rats in it to let him try." Lu Dongjie said irreconcilably.
"Huh, I'm crying to you, you're not serious at all." Mi Xue lightly punched Lu Dongjie twice in the heart.
"As soon as I heard that something was wrong with you, I rushed to rescue you. It's not serious." Lu Dongjie yelled.
Mi Xue felt much better after hearing this, and quietly buried her head in Lu Dongjie's arms.
After a long time, the two of them were still silent.
"Let me take you to watch a motorcycle show. I heard that their TVB TVB "Happy Tonight" is having an event." Lu Dongjie said softly.
"Okay, let's go now. Hmm, I'm going on vacation and I won't care about them." Mi Xue took off her costume angrily and threw it back into the back seat.
Lu Dongjie smiled, changed direction, and drove towards Shigang Airport.
However, when Lu Dongjie arrived at the airport, he found that the entrance was full of vehicles and ambulances. Jing Fang set up a cordon nearby, and traffic police began to close the road.
"What's wrong?" Mi Xue looked at medical staff carrying stretchers coming in and out, looking very urgent.
"Let's go back, there must have been an accident." Lu Dongjie frowned and turned the car around.
"Let's listen to what news there is." Mi Xue reached out and turned on the radio.
"Breaking news, TVB held the "Happy Tonight" motorcycle exhibition competition at Shek Kong Airport today. Two temporary spectator booths with 600 people suddenly collapsed during the performance. The scene was in chaos. The casualties are currently unknown.
..."
"Shhh... luckily I escaped disaster..." Mi Xue patted her heart with fear on her face, then glared at Lu Dongjie, "Humph, are you scared?"
"It's really unpredictable..." Lu Dongjie smiled bitterly and shook his head.
