"Along the ups and downs of the mountains and rivers, the gentle curves
The Central Plains of love, the Northland and Jiangnan of love
Facing the ice knife, snow sword and wind and rain, the passionate company
Cherish the golden years given to me by heaven..."
The entire editing room was silent, with only Liao Yuan's singing slowly coming from the player.
The prelude of this song "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years" is the same as that of "Unlimited Country". It also has the timbre of the national instrument "cymbals", but it is also accompanied by dense drum beats and the shouts of tens of thousands of people synthesized by synthesizers.
Together, it can be said that they are magnificent, which makes Zhang Yichi very satisfied.
"This song is good, and Liao Yuan's singing style is also very good. His tone is sonorous and he has a strong manly spirit."
Director Zhang Yichi nodded frequently and felt quite comfortable.
Sure enough, it makes perfect sense to leave professional matters to professionals.
However, when the chorus sounded, Zhang Yichi's brows frowned visibly.
Others also obviously felt something was wrong, and they were all a little surprised.
Zhang Yichi ordered: "Play it again."
The assistant quickly rewinds the tape.
"Look at the clanging iron hooves, traveling across thousands of miles of rivers and mountains
I stand on the cusp of the storm, holding on to the sun and the moon as they spin
May the world of fireworks be peaceful and happy
I really want to live another five hundred years."
The sound of a needle dropping could be heard in the editing room, but Liao Yuan's sonorous and powerful singing voice still echoed.
"Hiss, that's not right!"
The assistant raised a question: "Forget it 'clanging iron hoofs', but this 'may the world be peaceful and peaceful with fireworks'... Well, this wording is filled in, why does it feel a bit disharmonious?"
Zhang Yichi paused and said, "Tell me what you think."
The assistant quickly said: "Director Zhang, my knowledge is not as profound as that of Teacher Liao. It may be that I have overthought it and it is not worth mentioning."
"Just say what you say!" Zhang Yichi scolded: "Don't act like a bitch!"
The assistant laughed dryly: "This is what you asked me to say, Director Zhang. Look, the phrase 'Look at the clanking iron hooves and travel thousands of miles across the mountains and rivers' doesn't seem to be suitable for the Emperor Kangxi, right? In history, iron hooves have traveled all over the world."
Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are usually used to describe the invasion of foreign aliens, which is a relatively tragic and angry behavior. In the descriptions of many literary works, the most described is the Japanese invasion of our country from 1931 to 1945. If it was Kangxi
dynasty……"
"At that time, Kangxi's own camp was the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which already controlled most of the country's territory. Whether it was Wu Sangui or Ge Erdan's rebellion, it only affected some provinces. The invasion of Tsarist Russia was a small-scale conflict in the bitter cold border areas.
It can’t even be said that ‘iron hooves trampled thousands of miles of rivers and mountains’. Therefore, if Kangxi used ‘iron hooves trampled thousands of miles of rivers and mountains’ to describe the rule of their Manchu Qing Dynasty, then we can only say...hehe, he was too arrogant.”
The assistant was rewarded, refreshed, coughed, and continued: "As for the words 'May the world be peaceful and peaceful,' it's even more weird. It's obviously not fluent! This sentence is also very awkward for Kangxi.
.First of all, 'fireworks in the world' is often used to refer to secular life, so what does 'fireworks in the world' mean? Why do we need 'fireworks in the world'? Could it be that there were no fireworks in the world before, so did Kangxi need to put it forward as a great hope? As for
"An De" is even more strange. I am a liberal arts student and have studied classical Chinese quite a lot. The meaning of "An De" is "Where can I find it? Where can I find it?" It has a vague feeling of "I can't get it".
Looking forward. I said before that I wish for fireworks in the world, and then I added another sentence about where to find peace and happiness... Is this really the main theme of the "Kang and Qian Dynasties"? It is very different from the TV content you shot, Director Zhang. Doesn't it seem a bit incomprehensible to put it here?
Already?"
Zhang Yichi tapped his fingers on the table, thought for a long time, and then said, "Play the whole song again."
As a result, "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years" resounded throughout the editing room again.
If playing it once is not enough, play it again.
Half an hour passed.
The more Zhang Yichi listens to this song, the more he likes it.
Liao Yuan's interpretation of the song is quite to his liking. The whole song has sonorous tones and full of emotions. It sounds like it fully demonstrates the broad mind and heroic temperament of a generation of emperors who have great ambitions in ancient and modern times, and has very difficult singing skills.
,only……
The lyrics are so dissonant.
The more I listen, the more awkward it becomes.
Zhang Yichi stood up, walked out of the editing room, took out his mobile phone, found Liao Yuan's name in the address book, and clicked to call.
Soon, the call was connected.
"Xiao Liao, I listened to the song you sent me, but the more I think about it, the more I don't understand it."
Zhang Yichi did not be polite to Liao Yuan, and said straight to the point: "I like "Infinite Country" very much, and it is in line with the momentum of the Qing Dynasty. However, "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years", although the tune is majestic and domineering, some of the
I think there may be some mistakes in the lyrics, especially the lyrics of 'May the world be peaceful and peaceful with fireworks'. My assistant is a liberal arts major, and he also feels that the meaning of this sentence does not make sense."
Liao Yuan was not surprised and said bluntly: "Director Zhang, the lyrics of the song "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years" are actually used to describe Zheng Chenggong."
"Zheng Chenggong?"
Zhang Yichi was stunned, he was obviously not expecting it.
"Yes, 'May the world be filled with fireworks, peace, peace, and happiness.' The original lyrics were 'Blood floods the world, peace, peace, and happiness.' I'm sorry, Director Zhang, I didn't make it clear in advance. This is my fault."
Liao Yuan said seriously.
"Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years" was the theme song of "Kangxi Dynasty" in its previous life.
When Liao Yuan searched for songs about Kangxi in his mind, he naturally thought of this song without delving too deeply into the lyrics.
But according to the compilation of previous fans, the song "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years" was indeed originally about Zheng Chenggong.
Later, due to various reasons, it was transferred to the TV series "Kangxi Dynasty", so the lyrics were slightly changed. However, if you understand it carefully, it is obvious that this song is more suitable to describe Zheng Chenggong than Kangxi.
Zhang Yichi didn't react for a while.
After a long time, he exhaled a long breath and said with a wry smile: "So that's it. The world is flooded with blood and peace and happiness are achieved. Well, this is more smooth."
The air is silent.
Liao Yuan was a little embarrassed.
Zheng Chenggong and Kangxi can be said to be two extremes. Looking at the entire history, the fifty-six ethnic groups are one family and have been completely integrated. There is no dispute about this. But at that time,
For Zheng Chenggong, the Manchu camp where Kangxi belonged was a foreign invasion, and Zheng Chenggong's existence was to "reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty."
From Zheng Chenggong's point of view, this song accuses the Qing Dynasty of entering the country and causing bloody massacres, and how to achieve peace and happiness.
In this way, the logical relationship between the upper and lower sentences will be clear.
On the other hand, "May the world be filled with fireworks and peace and happiness", there is no logical connection.
"This song is good. Compared with "Infinite Country", "Borrow from the Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years" is more in line with my taste, but I am a person, how can I put it." Zhang Yichi thought for a while and said: "It's a bit
Pursuing perfectionism, in the crew, even if a scene or an actor's acting skills are not to my liking, I will ask for a reshoot, no matter how much time and money is wasted, Xiao Liao, I will use it for "Jiangshan Infinite"
Well, as for "Borrowing from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years", I can recommend a crew to you. I think it would be very suitable to be included in their work."
"No need, Director Zhang."
Liao Yuan said: "The Infinite Country is a gift from me. Thank you for your willingness to pay a high price to buy my work. As for "Borrowing from the Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years", forget it. I believe in fate and it doesn't have enough opportunities.
, just put it at the bottom of the box first!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yichi felt a little uncomfortable.
There is no doubt that "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years" is a good song. He desperately wanted to ignore the flaws and put the song in the TV series, but he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
As for Liao Yuan's tone on the phone, although I couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, I looked at it from Liao Yuan's point of view: I write songs for you just to repay a favor. Do I care about the copyright fee? I am short of money.
?
To be honest, in Zhang Yichi's opinion, Liao Yuan is really not short of money.
It seems that by rejecting Liao Yuan like this, I have created a problem in Liao Yuan's heart. If he wants to cooperate in the future, it will be really difficult.
Zhang Yichi felt a little regretful. He called his assistant and said: "For the song "Unlimited Country", I should pay the little yellow croaker according to the market price, or pay a little more, which should be higher than the market price."
The assistant responded quickly, and then hurriedly went to the finance to discuss the matter.
Zhang Yichi sat in the editor and continued working, but within ten minutes, he stood up again, picked up the phone, and dialed: "Hey, Kang Cheng, there's something I have to mention to you...
"
"Yes, yes, that's Liao Yuan, the pianist Liao Yuan, um..."
"Isn't your movie missing a theme song? What? It already has one?"
"Okay, I'll send you this piece of music first, and you can make your own decision."
…
Taiwan, Pingtung County, Kenting Park.
This place faces the Pacific Ocean to the east, the Taiwan Strait to the west, and the Bashi Strait to the south.
It is said that Kenting was named after the Qing Dynasty, when a group of young men from the mainland came to cultivate land in what is now the southernmost part of Taiwan. This place was later called "Kenting".
The climate here is tropical, with an annual average of 25 degrees. The geology is dominated by coral reefs. Surrounded by the sea on three sides and surrounded by mountains in the north, coupled with the downhill wind blowing for half a year, Kenting has a unique topography.
Kenting's landscape is diverse, including beach shells, cliffs, sand waterfalls, skirts, stalactite caves, etc.
The crew of "The Great Hero Zheng Chenggong" filmed here.
The famous film director Wu Kangcheng was a little strange when he received a call from his predecessor Zhang Yichi.
He and Zhang Yichi graduated from the same film school, but he is a junior. He is 37 years old this year. When he first debuted, he worked under Zhang Yichi as an assistant director. Later, he went out on his own and made several movies.
He is gradually becoming famous in the industry, and although he has not yet received a statuette, he is still a well-known director in the industry.
This epic movie "Zheng Chenggong" is another masterpiece he has carefully prepared. The total investment is as high as 60 million. It is invested and produced by Beijing Film Studio. When it was first shot, it was very popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and made a lot of money.
Eye-catching,
Wu Kangcheng is quite complacent. He prepared for nearly a year before filming. Not only did he simulate and build a large number of Dutch warships and Ming Dynasty gunboats at a 1:1 scale, but he also produced a large number of costumes, props, etc. that were completely consistent with historical facts, which caused a stir in the sea.
Great attention from the domestic and foreign film circles.
Three months have passed since the official shooting. The work is about to be completed and everything is ready.
With the support of Beijing Film Production Company, no matter how bloody or R-rated this movie is, it is absolutely certain that it will pass the first review.
At the same time, this is also a proud work that Wu Kangcheng tried his best to complete.
But a phone call from his senior Zhang Yichi made him feel a little depressed.
He felt that his senior wanted to interfere in his work and train his new talents.
And this is something he has always hated since he started acting.
But Zhang Yichi was kind to him, so he couldn't ignore it.
"Liao Yuan? Pianist? What the hell? I've never heard of it at all!"
Wu Kangcheng, who has been filming in Taiwan recently and is not paying much attention to the turmoil in the entertainment industry, took out a cigarette and puffed out the smoke, trying to relieve his depression.
After smoking for a while, he waited until his phone vibrated and a new email was sent to his email inbox.
He handed over the work at hand to the assistant director, then said a few words on the spot, and gave instructions on the actors' body movements for a while. Finally, he returned to the nanny's car in low spirits and asked his assistant to play the audio in the mailbox.
This nanny car is worth more than two million and is equipped with the world's top audio system, Sound of Berlin.
The Sound of Berlin is also known as the Rolls-Royce of the audio industry, and its sound quality is evident.
The assistant quickly connected to the director's mobile phone using Bluetooth, and then the sound of music slowly began to play.
Wu Kangcheng found the initial folk music ensemble a bit interesting.
He lay lazily on the sofa chair and closed his eyes. His face was a little tired, as if he wanted to sleep.
"Along the gentle curves of the mountains and rivers
Let your horse love the Central Plains, love the North and Jiangnan..."
When the singing began, he slowly opened his eyes and looked like he was listening carefully.
"Being a man of courage and courage, why be afraid of hardships and dangers?"
The passion remains unchanged year after year..."
The singing gradually progressed, and he sat up all of a sudden, with a look of surprise on his face. It seemed... something was different from what he imagined?
As the song was described, the information about Zheng Sen that he had reviewed during this period came to his mind.
Zheng Sen is Zheng Chenggong, the son of Zheng Zhilong, the commander-in-chief of southern Fujian Province. Emperor Longwu gave him his national surname and the name "Success", hoping that he would revitalize the Ming Dynasty and regain Taiwan. "The Great Hero Zheng Chenggong" directed by Wu Kangcheng tells the story of Zheng Chenggong's fight against the Qing Dynasty.
The story of a "generation of lonely ministers" who recovered from the Ming Dynasty and became the national heroes who regained Taiwan.
Therefore, it can be said that Wu Kangcheng knows everything about that heroic epic that turned everything around and turned everything around.
Because he understood it too well, when the heroic image in his mind gradually overlapped with the provinces, he couldn't help but his eyes turned red and he almost shed tears.
"Look at the clanging iron hooves, traveling across thousands of miles of rivers and mountains
I stand on the cusp of the storm, holding on to the sun and the moon as they spin
May the world of fireworks be peaceful and happy
I really want to live another five hundred years."
If this national hero is given another five hundred years...
Wu Kangcheng's nose felt sore, and the five-foot-tall man's tears actually rolled down at this moment——
