After returning to the hotel, Mike, under the arrangement of Yi Feiyang, had breakfast and went directly to the recording studio.
Yi Feiyang was already waiting there. After saying a few polite words, Yi Feiyang took Mike into the recording studio. He introduced him to John Labrie, the music master responsible for recording him, and told John Labrie to cooperate.
Good thing Mike, then walked out of the recording studio and supervised outside.
John Labrie is 51 years old this year. He used to work at Warner Records and was mainly responsible for the training of new talents. With the development of music production of Fantasy Entertainment, Yi Feiyang recruited him and now he has become an indispensable part of the music department.
Director.
John Labrie looked through it carefully for a while and then said, "Did Mr. Yi write all these songs himself?"
"Of course!" Mike answered loudly and decisively, as if it was his honor that Yi Feiyang could compose such a good song.
John Labrie nodded with a smile: "Our boss is really talented!" Then he said with approval: "Such a good song must be sung by a good singer! Haha, very good
I’m glad that the boss can let you, dear Mike, sing, I like your songs very much, you are the best!”
"Haha, you praise me so much. Of course, I am very grateful for your compliment! I also hope that we can have a happy cooperation during this time!" Mike was very impressed but still answered very modestly!
"You don't have to be modest, this is the perspective of a musician!" John Labrie said with a smile: "It will be my happiest thing to have the honor to record such a beautiful song for you!"
It was almost nine o'clock when all the band members arranged by Yi Feiyang had arrived. John Labrie gave each of them a copy of the musical score he had just copied and asked them to familiarize themselves with it within half an hour.
As for this song, Mike and Yi Feiyang worked together to study how to modify the shortcomings in the entire creation.
He is worthy of being the King of Pop. After getting familiar with the song, his own potential seemed to be stimulated. In some places, Mike pointed out the shortcomings of the song, and these were precisely the inappropriate aspects of the fusion of Chinese and Western that gave Yi Feiyang a headache. You know
In the previous life, this song was a Chinese song. Now, if it wants to become a very trendy Western song, it needs to be adjusted in terms of taste. If you use the same dish to make Chinese food and Western food, tomatoes can be fried with eggs, and tomatoes can also be made into salad.
.
Mike's modifications made the entire song more in line with the aesthetics of Western music, and it became more melodious, or sentimental, and more in line with the theme of the drama "Lust, Caution", which made Yi Feiyang full of praise after listening to it.
"Okay, dear Mike, I'll just modify it as you said, um. I hope this song will be a blockbuster after it comes out!" Yi Feiyang patted Mike on the shoulder and said.
Everything was ready, and at ten o'clock sharp, Michael Jackson took a sip of throat lotion and walked into the recording studio.
Following John Labrie's gesture, the recording of the theme song "Little Love Song" from "Lust, Caution" began.
A first-class band with an excellent music producer, coupled with the perfect performance of the King of Pop Mike, with crisp and magnetic timbre and voice. A pleasant and beautiful "Little Love Song" is instantly ok after just one listen!
"Mike, your voice, no, your timbre, well, it's really great! I've never seen a singer as good as you! It once again proves how correct Boss Yi's choice is!" Mike just walked out of the recording.
room, John Labrie was so excited that he rushed over shouting!
"Hey, man, don't get excited!" Mike was startled, fearing that the old man would fall and become hemiplegic. He quickly held him tightly, then turned around and asked Yi Feiyang, who was always smiling: "Dear Yi, was my performance okay just now?
"
Yi Feiyang's answer was to give Mike a thumbs up, "You're really great, man!"
"Really? That's great! Well, I think I'm very suitable for this song. It was completely created for me!" Mike scratched his head and smiled: "Then, let's continue recording and see how it works.
Even better! It’s hard to find a good state!”
Upon hearing this, John Labrie completely realized what he was saying and looked at Yi Feiyang. Of course Yi Feiyang understood what he meant, so he nodded, waved his hand and said, "Continue working!"
Under the excellent command of professionals, the quality of the recording was so high that it made Yi Feiyang smile from ear to ear. It only took less than two hours to get everything done. Mike recorded a total of three versions of "Little Love Song"
, one is an English version, one is a French version, and one is actually a Chinese version. No doubt, these are all Yi Feiyang's requests.
There are three versions of a song. Yi Feiyang has really worked hard this time, and Michael Jackson has also gone all out. For such a unique song, three versions were recorded in one morning. This record is probably very difficult.
is broken!
If you want people to give their best, proper win-over is indispensable. Just like lunch, Yi Feiyang directly invited the staff who had helped in the morning to the restaurant of the hotel, spending almost 10,000 francs, and
The effect was obvious, everyone was beating their chests and vowed to record the next MV of the song as quickly as possible.
In the next two days, Yi Feiyang temporarily handed over the editing and post-production of "Lust, Caution" to Fat Jack, while he devoted himself to the filming of Mike's "Little Love Song" MV.
You must know that the recording of MVs plays an irreplaceable role in the dissemination and popularity of songs. In particular, a good MV can even be comparable to a short film. For example, the MV for "Fairy Tale" by Guangliang in his previous life impressed Yi Feiyang extremely deeply.
There are many excellent MVs of Michael Jackson's golden songs. Those are simply compressed versions of movies, and they can't be more exciting.
Mike himself is also very picky about the MV of this song. In his words, a good song must match a beautiful MV, especially a love song, and it must have romantic shots and backgrounds, so that the lyrics and background can be brought out.
The beauty of the melody!
The shooting location was in the grape fields of a Bordeaux grape villa. At first glance, there was no verdure or grape green, but only the desolation of late autumn. However, this kind of scenery is exactly suitable for the artistic conception of this song---loneliness, silence, and lingering sadness.
Mike is a veteran in the music industry. Shooting a MV like this is simply child's play, but what makes it difficult for him are the French fans who come here because of their reputation.
When everyone found out that Mike was filming the MV here, they rushed to the filming location almost frantically, blocking the originally empty vineyard with water.
Yi Feiyang didn't expect Mike's popularity to be so popular, so he had no choice but to make a temporary call to apply for assistance. He opened the cordon to keep those crazy fans out, so that the filming could go smoothly.
…
After working hard for almost three days, the MV was all shot. According to Yi Feiyang's wishes, strike while the iron is hot. He and Mike flew back to the United States directly. It was very simple. He wanted to take this MV song and play it on the Internet and TV.
, to help promote his upcoming "Lust, Caution".
There has been a turmoil here in the United States for a long time. In fact, when all the media heard that King Mike and Yi Feiyang collaborated to create the theme song of "Lust, Caution", they were looking forward to it.
As an "old-timer" in today's American music scene, Mike has already gained more fans and fans after being re-popularized by Yi Feiyang. When these people heard that Mike's new song was about to be released, they were full of expectations and made a fuss.
So when Michael Jackson got off the plane and walked out of Los Angeles International Airport, he saw a group of people rushing towards him. Almost subconsciously, he hid behind and pushed Yi Feiyang out, "Dear Yi, you resist!"
Yi Feiyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Didn't he see that he also had a large number of fans, and their momentum was not weaker than that of Mike's group.
Fortunately, the bodyguards were very responsible and kept the surging crowd at bay.
However, some reporters were let in and interviewed Yi Feiyang and Mike.
"Dear Yi, please tell me you and Mike created a new song together, right?"
"Mike, how do you feel about this collaboration with Yi?"
"What's the name of that song?"
"Can you reveal the specific content?"
…
"Okay. Please be quiet, everyone!" Yi Feiyang said loudly.
The reporters were shocked by Yi Feiyang's voice and stood still. After a while, a reporter came back to his senses: "Mr. Yi, I am a reporter from the Los Angeles Times. Is it convenient for us to interview you now?"
?”
"Interview? Of course not! Oh, I mean not now. After all, Mike and I have just gotten off the plane. Let's do this. At ten o'clock tomorrow morning, we will hold a press conference at the Hilton Hotel!" Yi Feiyang announced very politely.
Seeing that the parties involved had said this, those reporters who still had some sense of moral integrity walked away silently, while the others continued to monitor the surroundings, waiting for the news to appear. As for the fans and moviegoers, they screamed loudly outside.
But no matter what, in the news of the day, the headline "Return of the King" appeared, and the cover used a friendly photo of Yi Feiyang and Mike arm-in-arm as the background. At this moment, everyone knew, who ran away
The guy who shot pornographic films in France is back!
…
"Yi, the current situation is not good!" As soon as he returned to Fantasy Entertainment Company, this was the first thing Yi Feiyang heard Dures say.
Soon, Yi Feiyang knew the specific meaning of this sentence.
Overall, this year's Christmas movie war is too brutal.
Yes, judging from the current situation, it can only be described as tragic.
The films of those small film companies have basically become cannon fodder. Some of them were only released for three days. Because of poor reputation and box office, they were urged to stop and gave up their theaters and schedules to "The Fighting" and "The Fight".
Blockbusters such as "The Pentium Era".
In comparison, the situation of these small companies is relatively good. It was released for at least three days and recovered a little bit of the cost. It is pitiful that some companies are even more miserable. The films they finally shot did not even have a chance to be released.
No.
In contrast, those Hollywood blockbusters rely on the power of the seven major film companies behind the scenes to compete for theaters, markets, time slots, and schedules. They are very busy.
During this period, the great director Spielberg's "The Terminal" was also released amidst the bloody storm. Although this film was solely produced and distributed by DreamWorks, it received strong support from MGM and Sony-Columbia.
The support not only provided sufficient theaters, but also released them at the best time. Many people were confused for a while and wondered if these two companies were doing charity?!
But no matter what, with the full support of these two major film companies, Spielberg's "The Terminal" grossed 78 million US dollars on the first day it was released, and its opening day box office was second only to "The Last Day"
.
According to the current situation, the box office of this movie will exceed 100 million in two days. It can reach an astonishing around 400 million within a week!
No one could have imagined that Spielberg's heartwarming film, which was not too expensive and had no high-tech content, would have such a huge box office power. For a while, there were constant calls for "Spielberg is the great director."
With Spielberg so "rising", Yi Feiyang is under great pressure. As we all know, Yi Feiyang is now fighting Spielberg in the ring. The last time the two fought a draw, this time they must
Decide the winner.
Obviously, Yi Feiyang's new film has not yet been released, so he is already at a disadvantage.
…
In the evening, Yi Feiyang finished preparing the materials for tomorrow's press conference. Then he immersed himself in thinking about the countermeasures after the movie is released.
"Yi, what are you thinking about?" Suddenly, Anne Hathaway walked in. At this time, she was only wearing a bathrobe, and she had obviously just taken a shower.
"Um, it's nothing." Yi Feiyang felt a little unnatural.
"Dear, I know you must be thinking about the movie." Anne Hathaway smiled, lying on the bed considerately, leaning on Yi Feiyang's chest, listening to his rhythmic heartbeat, feeling happy
An expression appeared on her beautiful face.
Then, Anne Hathaway shyly grabbed Yi Feiyang's hand, took his hand and placed it on her plump part.
Suddenly, Yi Feiyang's heartbeat accelerated. That feeling made him suddenly have nothing else in his mind, only the feeling of wanting to vent and integrating the beauty in his arms into his body.
He turned over directly and pressed Anne Hathaway underneath him...
Yi Feiyang was unusually fierce tonight, even feeling rough.
After it was over, Yi Feiyang hugged Anne Hathaway and half-closed his eyes, enjoying the moment.
He was so moved that he knew that Anne Hathaway was so proactive tonight just to let herself vent and let him relax.
As the most famous Chinese director in Hollywood and the protagonist of this battle between dragons and tigers, Yi Feiyang was very depressed and stressed, but Anne Hathaway used this method to help herself.
…
"Thank you, dear!" Yi Feiyang kissed her.
"Yi. I love you!"
"I love you too."
There followed a few minutes of silence.
"Yi, you know, Jessica loves you very much too!" Anne Hathaway said suddenly.
"This... I know!" Yi Feiyang squeezed Hathaway's hand and said softly.
"We all care about you too!" Anne Hathaway said suddenly.
"..." Yi Feiyang didn't know what to say.
"Yi, we all hope that you won't be so tired. Yes, in fact, you are already very successful and don't need to work so hard anymore! Do you know that when you are working hard, we are worried about your body...!"
Anne Hathaway said quietly.
"I'm sorry..."
"Yi, don't say sorry. After all these years, I still don't know what kind of person you are... It's just that you are too good, and your colleagues outside are very jealous of you; and you love your work too much, so to speak,
Sometimes we're all jealous of the work you're doing."
"Dear, you know. I don't want to be like this, but..." Yi Feiyang could only smile bitterly.
"Yi, I don't blame you, I'm even a little proud. My man is such a good man." Anne Hathaway smiled slightly, and then said: "But no matter what time, I hope you can remember that Jesse and I
Ka will always stand by your side and accompany you forever! When you need to rest, he can hold you and act as your pillow. When you are tired, he can hum songs to accompany you to sleep..."
"Annie, actually I..."
"Don't talk, dear..." Anne Hathaway covered Yi Feiyang's mouth, "Now I just want to lie in your arms and listen to your heartbeat. Yes, that's it. I feel so happy...
..." Hathaway closed her eyes silently.
Looking at her long eyelashes, Yi Feiyang stroked her hair with his hands and couldn't help but blame himself. Did he not care enough about the women around him?!
…
The next day, the "Lust, Caution" theme song launch conference officially began at the Los Angeles Hilton Hotel!
However, for this press conference, Yi Feiyang did not follow the traditional method in the past. Instead, after appearing on stage together with Michael Jackson, he directly announced the start of the "audition".
"The answers you are looking for are all in the link below!" Yi Feiyang said to the news media.
The entire spacious and bright press hall instantly became dark. On the stage, a screen was hung, and a beam of light was cast on it.
The first thing played was not a new Michael Jackson song, but a clip from the drama "Lust, Caution".
Of course, these clips are the most exciting parts of the whole drama, almost embellishing the entire story, but when it comes to the most critical sex scene, it's just enough.
But even so, the gorgeous story, the beautiful heroine, and the scenes that will definitely make you nosebleed have already made all the reporters present short of breath and feeling hot all over.
"God, I must go see this show! Not for anything else, just for Kate!" a male reporter secretly said.
"I didn't expect Leonardo's muscles to be so good. I really want to watch this movie!" a female reporter moaned.
"Lust, Caution" has not yet been released, but from this moment on it has captured many journalists and audiences.
The nearly five-minute film clip has finally finished, and everyone is still immersed in the dreamlike space. Kate's stunning performance as "Ruth" and Leonardo's superb performance as "Jack" have made many people want to watch the movie.
The reporters who questioned this drama couldn't help but smack their lips, as if they had endless aftertaste.
But it wasn't over yet. When everyone came to their senses and wanted to raise their hands to ask questions, the light beam was projected on the screen again. This time it was the MV for "Little Love Song" carefully produced by Michael Jackson.
The prelude started to sound, and the reporters and guests at the scene had to suppress their doubts and stay quiet and listen carefully!
English version:
This is a simple little love song
Singing about the twists and turns of people's hearts
I think I'm happy
When I have your warmth
The air around my feet turned
This is a simple little love song
The white dove that sings in our hearts
I think I'm suitable
To be a eulogist...
Time became very slow in the melodious singing. When the song ended, no one wanted to speak, lest they break the unbelievable tranquility.
A long, long time!
The scene was very quiet! Was it vibration? Was it shock? Was it weird? Or was it surprise? No one could tell clearly! You asked Yi Feiyang how he felt now? He didn’t know either!
Because everyone was too quiet.
King Mike was originally very confident in his song, but now, there was no applause or praise as expected, just a strange silence, which made him feel uneasy.
What's going on? Could it be that the song he sang didn't suit their taste? Our dear King Michael muttered carefully.
Just when Yi Feiyang and Mike were confused, suddenly, deafening applause broke out like a rainstorm.
The roof was almost shattered!
Yi Feiyang and Mike couldn't help but look at each other. In front of them were all reporters with excited expressions. They clapped and said nothing.
