Chapter 025 This kind of burning method is not right
Following Sister Guan's words, Zhao Donghuai glanced at her speechlessly, without explaining. Do you need an explanation? It's just copying a song, who doesn't know that?
What's more, he, who didn't understand music music at first and could only sing in KTV, was still cheating.
He waved to the attendant and asked the other party to bring his backpack, then took out a notepad and said to Zhang Guorong, "Ah Rong, I asked you to sing without intending to give you money, so I wrote a song for you. Take a look.
What do you think?"
When he turned to a certain page and handed it to Zhang Guorong, Ah Rong was obviously in a daze. He asked me to sing without paying him, but gave him a song as a reward? This director is really straightforward and candid.
But he likes people who are straightforward and frank. At least he doesn't have to make a movie with a director like he agreed to do many years ago, only to find out after signing the contract that it's a restricted movie.
That time he was almost tricked to death, and it has been a shadow for many years. Oh, he was also involved in that incident with A Le’s daughter-in-law, Huang Xingxiu.
After politely thanking him, he took the notepad and flipped through it. Looking at the jumping musical notation notes on it, Zhang Guorong hummed softly as he looked at it. It was still unfamiliar the first time, but he soon became familiar with it and got into the rhythm.
Humming and humming made him feel ignited.
This is the soundtrack copied by Director Zhao from "Transformers 1" when the Autobots landed on the Earth, Arrival To Earth, also called Arrival to Earth.
A bunch of Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, descended from the sky in "personal flight cabins". The soundtrack combined with the pictures is really burning, shocking, magnificent and majestic.
Humming, Ah Rong was a little out of breath. He grabbed the mineral water and took a sip. He was surprised and said, "So strong? But it feels like it's not the energy of ordinary singing and dancing, but that kind of... that kind of...
”
He couldn't describe it for a while, but he quickly fell in love with this song.
In later generations, Zhang Guorong became very famous and had a high status in the music scene. He was the originator of popular singing and dancing in the Hong Kong music scene. He is a descendant of all cities and towns.
However, when Zhao Donghuai heard the songs and dances that made him famous and even established his status, he felt it was just ordinary and not exciting enough when he heard it before he time traveled. That's because before he time traveled, Ah Rong's era had long passed.
Those exciting songs and dances have been eliminated by the times. It is better that the wind continues to blow, and the theme song of "Love in the Past" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" is so good.
These songs are also his famous songs, but when he was most popular, the popularity of these songs was far less than those of those powerful songs and dances.
After taking a sip of water, Zhao Donghuai smiled and said, "I originally planned to use this song in my movie, such as when the protagonist rises to kill everyone... Only after I created it did I realize that it was a bit inappropriate." Li Zicheng led his subordinates to kill everyone. He killed competitors, the police, enemies, etc., killing everyone indiscriminately and ascending to the top. It is really not very coordinated for you to have Brother Zhuzi lead a team of Autobots to land on the earth in Transformers 1. p>
This kind of burning method is not quite right.
"Also, after composing this song, I discovered that it is more appropriate to use electronic music and symphony to complement each other's achievements, so that the performance can achieve that kind of momentum and pattern."
"It's just a song without words, and the name is called Landing or Arrival. If you're satisfied, it's your reward for singing! You can put it in the next album or the next one."
After explaining, Zhang Guorong's expression became a little weird again, and he nodded, "No problem, it's settled."
He has never heard of this song, and he is not sure whether it is Zhao Donghuai's original work. As a singer from the 1970s and 1980s, isn't it normal that he has not heard all the music in the world?
But he heard from Wan Ziliang that this was the director of a large crew who invested 5 million.
Such a director should not lie to people about this kind of thing, and it can be retrieved afterwards.
In the past few times, he had fallen in love with the burning feeling. It was normal to sell songs with only music or lyrics.
Otherwise, why would there be a brilliant combination, and later Lin Xi and Wu Lecheng? Milk Tea Lun also has to be matched with Wenshanjun.
After thinking about "landing" or "arrival" for dozens of seconds, Zhang Guorong smiled and said, "Director, there are not many people like you who ask for songs. It's easy for us all like you. Could it be that you invited Brother Allen?"
, also a song??"
Zhao Donghuai laughed and said, "I have prepared a song, but I don't know if Allen agrees with it. Can you help me take a look?"
After saying that, he took back the notepad and turned to the piece of paper for Midnight Serenade. Midnight Serenade was a famous work by Hacken Lee in 1987, a cover of the Japanese singer Nahoko Kawai.
It’s okay to try to hand it to Tan Yonglin in 1983 now...it will save money.
The most important thing is, as he said when he tried to play the piano for the first time in TVB City, the covers of Hong Kong songs by Hong Kong music stars are basically digested by the same record company.
Tan Yonglin and Hacken Lee are both from PolyGram, and they are covered by multinational groups. One dish sells for two cents, and it is much better to praise your own singers than to praise outsiders.
Without the background of a big company, how can you do whatever you want? Even if you can, you still have to pay money and run various transactions.
This song is based on Nahoko Kawai's song, with a simple arrangement and lyrics added.
Is this one of Hacken Lee’s masterpieces in his singing career? Give it to Principal Tan... Forget it, Ah Li will talk about it later.
Why did Zhao Donghuai invite songs by giving them songs? Instead of selling them? The Hong Kong music scene was very popular at this time. The famous lyricist Zheng Guojiang and the kings and queens who started to cooperate with him in the 1970s grabbed a lot of him.
Another lyricist, Da Niu Huang Zhan, also regarded Zheng Guojiang as a strong enemy.
How much do you think Zheng Guojiang’s lyrics cost? Usually it’s 3,000 yuan, and he’s still a famous person!
Of course, a lyricist can earn more than just 3,000 yuan a time by selling lyrics. When the song becomes popular, whether it is selling records, being listed in karaoke or karaoke bars, or being sung by many players, you can receive some royalties. p>
Subsequent royalties are the bulk of the income.
But the copyright fee takes too long. If he sells a song, he charges one or two thousand yuan first? Waiting for a year and a half, and then slowly collect the copyright fee after a few years? That's too slow!
If I have time to go to my sister’s house and buy another batch of waste paper, I can make more money. At most, buying and selling waste paper will easily conflict with people in the community.
Inviting Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong is also because of their appeal in the music world, and to warm up the promotion of the movie. Not to mention that movie promotion is very important in later generations, it is also very important now. Many people know that the box office of A Hero's True Colors exploded, and Zhou Runfa took advantage of it to skyrocket.<
/p>
But it is estimated that few people know that before the release of A Hero, Ah Fa went on TVB every day to promote the program. TVB's promotional programs are not any better than those in the TVB Base Camp.
The five tiger generals Liu Dehua performed a chest crushing boulder, Qiuguan's daughter-in-law performed stepping on an egg weighing 100 or 200 pounds, Liang Chaowei performed pulling a car with a set of teeth...
This was TVB’s basic practice in the 1980s.
It’s no wonder that in the 1980s, in the eyes of many wealthy families, the status of TV and movie stars was very low, and they could not appear on the stage. It was no different from performing acrobatics on the streets at night markets, and they were nothing more than performing on TV stations.
This kind of publicity makes Director Zhao feel a toothache when he thinks about it. It’s impossible for him to perform such a weird show anyway. When New World is released, it’s better for Fa Zai, A Wei, Wan Ziliang and others to perform. p>
By the way, it would be more reliable to let Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong appeal to their fans.
Zhang Guorong continued to sing the adapted version of Midnight Serenade, first getting familiar with it several times and then reading the lyrics. After a few minutes, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Is this an adaptation of an island country singer? It doesn’t matter. His current famous style continues, and it is also an adaptation of Yamaguchi Momoe.
He felt that this midnight serenade "seems like I can have sex with me." Now Zhang Guorong is signed to Huaxing Records, a subsidiary of TVB.
