Chen Mubai thought of this movie and held an open audition in China, hoping that a singer could compose a song suitable for the movie. At that time, he wrote "Light Years Away" for Tao Yaoyao, and the singer was very satisfied.
Later, the movie did well at the box office. Because Tao Yaoyao was selected by the film crew, it became very popular. Even overseas, many people have listened to "Light Years Away", and the song once entered the foreign song rankings.
List, Tao Yaoyao can be regarded as the first time he has made his debut abroad.
In recent years, Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao are the only ones who have actually had works on the foreign song charts, including "In the Name of the Father" and "Light Years Away".
This is also the case when two Chinese songs became popular abroad. "In the Name of the Father" was due to Van Cleef's promotion, and "Light Years Away" was due to the addition of the movie.
They are not qualified to make their songs achieve that kind of impact just by relying on their individual abilities.
Although they are considered first-line stars in China, no one knows them internationally.
In other words, Chen Mubai became famous at the Venice Film Festival, otherwise who would know him?
When he walked on the red carpet, few people recognized him as the person who sang "In the Name of the Father"...
From this point of view, promoting this song on a global scale is indeed very important for Tao Yaoyao. It can make her famous internationally. It is a great progress for her and an opportunity to become an international singer.
"Okay, I'll try my best to help her write it. What type of movie is it?" Chen Mubai asked.
The genre of the movie still needs to be clarified, otherwise it would be quite embarrassing if the songs don’t match the work.
If it is a family-warming movie, then the style of the songs should also be of a daily and warm nature. If it is replaced by heavy metal music, it will be out of place and will fall into the inferior category!
"A gunfight action movie." Qin Qiu said.
"Thank you for your hard work. This matter is very important to Yaoyao. She doesn't want to trouble you because she knows that you are busy with the post-production of "Nirvana in Fire" and will release it on a different date. She doesn't want you to be distracted by worrying about writing songs for her.
.”
"After much thought, you are the only one who best meets the requirements. Chinese musicians don't have much exposure to English songs. Even if we look for foreign songwriters now, they may not be able to write them for us years ago...
..."
The production company of "Space" is invested and produced by a relatively famous entertainment company in the United States called Solomon Pictures.
Their movies are basically for the global audience, so once the movie comes out and Tao Yaoyao's soundtrack becomes popular, her own reputation will be greatly enhanced.
"Yao Yao didn't want to find you. I came to find you secretly behind her back. I know this is not good and will disturb you. Please forgive me!" Qin Qiu said embarrassedly.
"Sister Qin is fine. Yaoyao's matter is my business. She hasn't told me about such a big matter, so I should help her." Chen Mubai said with a smile, telling Qin Qiu not to worry.
"I'll write this song first, and then I'll give it to her when it's finished. Don't worry."
Qin Qiu said in surprise: "Thank you in advance!"
Chen Mubai has been busy with editing work these past two days, and has had less contact with Tao Yaoyao. He never thought that Tao Yaoyao could give up his great career without bothering him, and he felt warm in his heart.
However, he was also a little angry and funny. After all, he was her boyfriend. Should he be like this?
She was too gentle, which made Chen Mubai feel a little guilty. He was often busy with work and neglected to take care of her.
Tao Yaoyao is indeed a girl worthy of being loved, and she is also a girl whose gentleness is etched deep in his heart!
Writing a song is not difficult for him. He just needs to figure out the type of song. Shooting action movies like this usually have sounds like explosions. The music just needs to be loud enough.
During the explosion, as long as the climax of the music is intense, it is generally not wrong.
The editing task is a relatively long one and will not be finished for a while. Chen Mubai is going to write out the songs that Tao Yaoyao needs first, and then ask her to take them to the other party for review. If it passes, it will be OK. If it fails, then
Just change it again.
...
"John, is it done?"
"It's done. We have contacted the other party and told them about our cooperation needs. The other party is also interested in cooperating."
"That's good, things went well!"
"They haven't given us a specific reply yet. We are waiting for their songs. Once they are recorded, they will be sent to us for review. If they are qualified, they can be used directly!"
"Try to push it as much as possible. Our movie is almost finished and we will need a soundtrack to promote it."
A senior executive of Solomon Pictures came to China. Their movie was about to be released, and he specifically asked his subordinates to cooperate with Tao Yaoyao again, hoping that she would score their music.
There are two reasons for finding Tao Yaoyao. On the one hand, the last cooperation was very successful and the effect was very good. Tao Yaoyao is very strong, which can be heard from the stability of her vocal range and high notes.
She is from China, so she is an excellent choice for the large market of China. No one is more suitable than her.
Of course, it would be fine if we could find Chen Mubai, but the other party wouldn't answer at all!
It's not like they haven't approached Chen Mubai, but they were rejected. Chen Mubai has been busy editing "Nirvana in Fire" recently. How can he have time to do this? Any work has been rejected!
Even if he knew about this, he would not agree to it. He did not want to be tied to the crew for publicity in China. For him, his own affairs were the most important.
On the other hand, Chen Mubai became famous at the Venice Film Festival. He not only won the Golden Lion Award, but also won the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival. This caused a small buzz among Chinese stars around the world.
The song "right now" sung by Chen Mubai was even more popular, and many European and American people still hope that Chen Mubai can continue to sing for them!
Based on this, Solomon Pictures found Tao Yaoyao, hoping that she could score the film and then use it for global promotion, hoping to increase the popularity of Chinese stars.
Tao Yaoyao is Chen Mubai's girlfriend. They know about this. Her last song "Light Years Away" is also famous in Europe and the United States. She herself is considered a small and influential Chinese star!
When the time comes, when promoting, they can use the name that she is Chen Mubai's girlfriend to increase Chen Mubai's popularity. This is their idea.
Of course, if Chen Mubai can write better songs for her, Chen Mubai's songs will definitely be popular!
However, they don't know if Chen Mubai will write songs for Tao Yaoyao, so this matter can only be said to depend on luck, but other things cannot be ignored.
"I hope you can hurry up." John thought to himself.
In response to Chen Mubai's popularity, they decided to find Chinese stars to sing and sing in English directly, so as to gain global popularity.
Compared with well-known singers in Europe and the United States, the value of Chinese stars is also cheaper. Even if the song licensing fee is included, it will not be too exaggerated.
Chen Mubai is currently very popular around the world. As his girlfriend, Tao Yaoyao will be more or less focused.
...
Chen Mubai spent a day writing the song, and then he went to Gateway Music, where Tao Yaoyao was already waiting for him.
Although Qin Qiu told Chen Mubai about it behind Tao Yaoyao's back, Chen Mubai had to let Tao Yaoyao sing the song after it was written, so she still only knew about it. What surprised Qin Qiu was that Chen Mubai was so fast.
I just said it yesterday and wrote it today. It’s so powerful!
"You're here~" The moment Tao Yaoyao saw Chen Mubai, she was extremely happy, and then she felt a little ashamed.
She was really ashamed that Chen Mubai was so busy and still wrote songs for her.
She knew that Chen Mubai wanted to release "Nirvana in Fire" during the winter vacation, so she devoted all her energy to post-production during this period, and she caused him trouble.
"Don't think too much. If Sister Qin doesn't tell me about this, are you still going to hide it from me?"
Chen Mubai knew what Tao Yaoyao was thinking when he saw the shameful look in her eyes. He went over to touch her long and silky hair in a funny way. Her black hair fell vertically down her back like a waterfall, fresh and beautiful.
As Tao Yaoyao's boyfriend, she actually hid it from him, but he was still a little unhappy.
Although his affairs are important, Tao Yaoyao's affairs are also very important!
He didn't want Tao Yaoyao to stick to him first for everything, she also had to think about herself!
"I......"
Tao Yaoyao saw Chen Mubai's pretending to be fierce, and she knew he was blaming her. She lowered her head and admitted her mistake. She looked so pitiful and pitiful.
"Don't blame Sister Qin. She is also doing it for your own good. If it weren't for her, I would still be kept in the dark." Chen Mubai raised her little head and said, "I won't be able to finish this matter for a while. I'll write a song."
It’s not a rare thing, so you don’t have to be afraid of affecting me.”
"Compared to my things, your things are also very important, you know?"
"This matter is very important to your career. It is a step up. If you encounter something in the future and you can't do it again, you should tell me."
If the song Tao Yaoyao sings becomes popular this time, it will no longer be as simple as becoming popular in China as before, but it will become popular around the world, and she will become more famous.
Unlike "Light Years Away", which is a Chinese song, this time it is an English song, which is a mainstream international language and has a wider audience. Once it becomes popular, it will have a greater impact!
"Yes, I understand." Tao Yaoyao nodded with a weak look.
She knew that Qin Qiu was looking for Chen Mubai for her own good, and she couldn't blame Qin Qiu for being troublesome.
After all, what Qin Qiu did was the right thing to do. At least he should understand it first before making a decision, instead of directly refusing to seek Chen Mubai's help like she did. This really shouldn't be the case. The two were lovers, and she couldn't do anything for Chen Mubai.
