In fact, Li Yi really wasn't talking nonsense this time, nor was it because this short film happened to inspire a memory or a song in him.
But the fact is just as he said.
Many outsiders, when watching a movie, may think that the movie's soundtrack is just the soundtrack, and it doesn't seem that important.
"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"
But actually, it's really not.
Simply put, the simplest way to use music is to play cheerful music when you are happy, and play sad tunes when you are sad.
But in fact, this is just the simplest soundtrack, or in other words, it is not a real movie soundtrack.
There is actually a lot to be done with the soundtrack of a real movie.
For example, the most intuitive one is the short film "Father". In fact, the story, the shots, and even the way it was done, etc., to be honest, were very poor.
But because of the touching theme song of "Father", the entire short film turned out to be sublimated.
In fact, many people may not feel that it is particularly obvious about feature films, but the shorter and simpler the short film, the more important the story, theme song, soundtrack, etc. are to the film.
It can even determine the upper and lower limits of a film!
Of course, the premise is that the song must fit and be good enough!
"Yes! Why didn't I think of that! However, this is a bit difficult to handle!" Mu Qing frowned slightly.
Composing movie soundtracks is not that easy, it just comes off as easy as it sounds.
"Do you know the director of this short film?" Li Yiwei asked curiously.
If it was just because this short film was good, Mu Qing wanted to help the other party improve the short film, it would be so good and strange.
"Yes, I know her. She is half of my student." Mu Qing said something that surprised Li Yi.
"Half of your student?" Li Yi was a little confused.
"Yes, Kristina is an international student in the directing department of China Maritime Drama Academy. She came to my crew as an intern and later contacted me often to ask me questions." Mu Qing said with a smile.
"Um..." Li Yi really didn't know yet.
"She adapted this short film based on a local story in her hometown. During the filming, she asked me a lot of questions," Mu Qing added.
"That's it! No wonder you are so concerned about it!" Li Yi was relieved.
Otherwise, would a new foreign director, Mu Qing, deserve so much attention?
With such a relationship, it's no wonder she was so interested in it and even roped in her as a consultant.
"Actually, I have some inspiration here, but...how can you thank me?" Li Yi suddenly looked at Director Mu with a bad smile.
"Are you inspired so quickly?" Director Mu ignored Li Yi's last words and asked in surprise.
"Fast? You know best whether I am fast or slow." Li Yi couldn't help but tease.
Mu Qing couldn't help but give Li Yi a charming look and said, "How do you want me to thank you?"
"Ahem, the yoga ball you used to practice yoga with is quite interesting..." Li Yi looked at Director Mu with burning eyes.
Although they were an old couple, Director Mu was still stunned for a moment when he heard this, then his pretty face turned red and he glared at someone fiercely.
"Deal?" Li Yi asked, looking at Director Mu with a smile.
Unlike Xu Nannan, Li Yi didn't even need to say Xu Nannan's words, she understood them better than Li Yi.
However, Director Mu is still relatively thin-skinned, and Li Yi still has to take the initiative to do some things.
In the end, Director Mu agreed.
Well, actually this is a tacit understanding between the two of them, which adds a little more fun to life.
"You really have inspiration?" Mu Qing still didn't believe it.
After all, Li Yi was a director, not a songwriter. Although he had written songs before, she still found it a bit incredible.
"The quiet village is covered with white snow
Pigeons flying under the hazy sky
The two names are engraved on the birch tree
They vowed to love each other for the rest of their lives."
Li Yi hummed softly.
Mu Qing was stunned when she heard this.
It was obvious that the lyrics sung by Li Yi were just like the plot of the short film, but for some reason, there was no accompaniment, but Mu Qing immediately had the illusion that this song was born for this story.
generally.
"One day the war came to my hometown
The young man picked up a gun and ran to the border
Sweetheart, don’t worry about me
Wait for me to come back in the birch forest..."
Mu Qing was a little mesmerized when she heard it. The lyrics clearly seemed to be telling this story, but it sounded full of an indescribable poetry.
And the key is, it fits perfectly with the content of the short film.
Then......
Li Yi stopped.
"The sky is still hazy and there are still pigeons flying
Who will prove the love and life without tombstones?
The snow is still falling and the village is still peaceful
Young people disappear into the birch forest..."
The more Mu Qing listened, the more shocked she became, and the more she listened, the more surprised she became. The key is that it was the first time for Li Yi to watch this short film, but he was able to easily create a song on the spot that perfectly fit this short film and this story.
Yes, these lyrics sound like a summary of the story of this short film, but in fact, it is even more amazing.
Because these lyrics give people the feeling that they are born along with this story. Although there is no accompaniment, the melody hummed by Li Yi can perfectly show the ultimate emotion.
"The bad news came that afternoon
My sweetheart died in a distant battlefield
She silently came to the birch forest
Staying there every day with eager eyes
She said he was just lost in the distance..."
The song covers every scene of the entire story, and even gave Mu Qing the illusion that she didn't need to watch the movie at all, just listening to the song, the entire story could directly appear in her mind!
Not only the story, but also the picture, the lyrics have pictures!
Li Yi's humming was naturally impossible to achieve the same effect as the full version of the song, but these lyrics, paired with the melody, were enough to make Mu Qing shocked and proud.
She was shocked by Li Yi's talent and proud that this was the man she Mu Qing chose, even though this guy seemed a bit scumbag.
But this still did not prevent Mu Qing from looking at Li Yi with eyes full of love and shock.
What Li Yi and Mu Qing didn't know was that Kristina, who had wanted to come over to say hello to Mu Qing, was completely stunned on the spot.
Every lyric that Li Yi hummed made her feel like she was being hit.
In fact, as Li Yi said, when Kristina filmed this story, she had limited funds, so she did many things by herself, such as the soundtrack. How could she have the money to hire a professional film scorer? She found it all by herself.
I came with a more poignant melody and used it directly.
But how does that compare to music specially composed for movies?
But she was still shocked. Of course she knew Li Yi's name, but she always had the impression that Li Yi was a talented director.
But I never expected that he could actually write songs, and he could write them so well! It matched the story of the short film so well!
PS: These are the two updates for today. Sure enough, you can’t eat popsicles and ice cream randomly. I ate one more popsicle and ran to the toilet countless times. I was almost exhausted. I really couldn’t stand it anymore, fellow veterans.
, this is a bloody lesson, the weather is hot, but you can’t eat ice cream randomly! Otherwise, who knows?
