348: I Am Serious About Creating Hype (2)
[Recite the URL silently three times. Do you remember it? If you don’t remember, I’ll ask again in the next chapter. It’s best to share it on Facebook for me]
"The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift", which has been postponed for 40 days, is very popular. Although it does not have a good reputation, it has already earned 2.2 billion yuan at the domestic and international box office. It must be said that Django has played a good card again, with "Head" The continuation of the racing theme of "Word D" and its own popularity have created another box office blockbuster. It is impossible not to accept this ability.
While people in the industry were paying attention and discussing whether "The Swordsman: The Undefeated", which will be released tonight, will be able to change its reputation or continue to lose its character, suddenly a live broadcast was made.
"What is he going to do?"
"It's obviously trying to build momentum for the new movie."
"After all, there is no whole premiere this time."
"He really doesn't play by the rules."
"I heard it's to give artists a holiday for the New Year."
"He is a genius, but also a weirdo."
…
Colleagues are enemies, and this is also true in the film industry. Because other people's movies are good, what they squeeze is the schedule of their own movies, so there will always be some conspiracy.
However, for the artists of Jiang Ge and Huafeng, they really have no choice but to stir up the cold stuff before, which is basically nothing to blame.
At this time, the number of people online in NetEase Cloud Music’s live broadcast room has exceeded 10 million.
It seems like a lot, but it's actually not much. These are sixteen fans of singers, actors, directors, and passers-by, including Django.
Xu Chenyi's hip-hop trilogy "Invert the Earth", "General's Order" and "In the Name of the Father" instantly ignited the live broadcast room.
Next are Guan Yansi's "Ding Feng Bo", Qin Shiyue's "Eternal Light", "Water Melodies Songtou: When Will the Bright Moon Come", "As You Wish", and Gong Li's "Clouds from My Hometown", making for a climax. Take another wave.
During the intermission, the screen cut to Django, and he started the routine mode: "I saw a lot of comments asking when the new song will be released. Don't worry, everyone, "The Swordsman: The Undefeated" will be released tonight. , there’s a new song in it.”
As soon as these words came out, the barrage changed to "what song" and "who sang it".
Naturally, Jiang Ge would not reveal too much information here, and said, "You will know when you go to the theater and watch the movie."
This kind of thing to whet your appetite has long been a familiar thing.
"Be a human being and do this again!"
"I bought the ticket, tell me now!"
“Geneva refunds your money!”
…
The audience in the live broadcast room was not satisfied with this answer and started to boo.
"Okay, okay, I said." Jiang Ge would definitely not go along with their wishes and follow his own plan, saying: "Remember the phrase 'I have songs, do you have stories?' In fact, it has a profound meaning. Songs , stories, movies, TV series.”
? !
In the past, songs were used to accompany movies and TV series, but now movies and TV series are matched with songs?
It turns out that the super long MV is no joke.
However, Jiang Ge gave the picture to Zhang Jun at this juncture when he was about to break the news.
"If you talk half the time, your penis will be half the time!"
"So angry!"
"It's really yours!"
…
Jiang Ge's move made the audience in the live broadcast room go crazy.
Zhang Jun, Gong Li, and Lin Yu's live broadcast devices are their own mobile phones, and the radio reception is average. Fortunately, the network is good and there is no lag. Moreover, without a sound effect card, they can listen to real voices without any modification. It's a different flavor.
At the same time, they lamented that among Huafeng artists, the professional singers are really professional, and the amateurs are also good. Especially Lin Yu’s "Chasing Dreams" and "Proud Boy", they feel excited no matter how many times they listen to them.
The final one is Mei Manlu, the most important part of Django's routine.
"Sorry if I can't see everyone's comments, I don't know much about live streaming."
After saying that, Mei Manlu's hands were seen dancing on the keys of the piano in front of her, and she immediately sang: "Who can tell me if there is such a pen..."
This is the solo version of "As Long as I Have You". After being adapted and matched with her beautiful voice, it is even more sad than the duet version with Zhang Liming.
"Sounds good!"
"There is an inexplicable sadness in the singing."
"The same song is sung with different flavors. Is this a powerful singer?"
…
After singing the full version of "As Long as I Have You", the audience in the live broadcast room was still unsatisfied and looking forward to the next "If Love Has God's Will".
Mei Manlu continued to the next song without pausing.
But.
When she played the prelude on the piano, it was an unfamiliar melody.
"No way!"
"Do you want to perform a new song on this occasion?"
"Is it the song from "The Swordsman: The Undefeated East" that Django mentioned just now?"
…
The audience in the live broadcast room was immediately attracted, concentrated, and listened attentively.
"Life is like a long road."
Let the wind and frost stay on your face
How many directions do dreams have in this world of mortals?
The road to finding your dreamy love is endless..."
Once the lyrics came out, it was definitely a new song.
And good-sounding is the first feeling of the audience in the live broadcast room. Mei Manlu uses more mid-range timbres, and the sound quality is mellow, magnetic, and very pleasant to the ears.
However, the accompaniment gives people a feeling of mismatch, because the lyrics present the ancient rhyme tone, and the melody has a kind of ethereal and ethereal feeling, full of the illusion of life and the feeling that the beautiful dream is like a dream, so it should be accompanied by national instruments, such as guqin, guzheng, flute, etc., instead of piano.
"Life is an extension of dreams
There are tears in the dream
Where to go to find the direction in my heart
The wind sighs in the dream that the road and people are vast..."
Listening to it, this song does not seem to have the "main song and chorus" commonly seen in popular songs, but adopts the "one-section" traditional Chinese style structure.
The combination of lyrics and music can bring people into a very beautiful and imaginative state, and can give people the pursuit of beautiful romance in life but full of fleeting sighs and lingering.
"The Road Follows the People" is the Mandarin version of "A Chinese Ghost Story". As the theme song of the movie of the same name, this song created by Huang Zhan fully demonstrates the characteristics of classical style, with gurgling streams in the forest and piano and flute stacked upstairs.
Compared with Mandarin, the nine tones and six tunes of Cantonese are more compatible with the melody of the original song. In order to meet the requirements of Mandarin pronunciation and singing, some literal adjustments were made on the basis of direct translation of the Cantonese version of the lyrics, changing the "one word one sound" in the Cantonese version to the "one word multiple sounds" in the Mandarin version.
"Happy young man on the road of the world
Look at the sunshine in the ruggedness
How many directions are there for happiness in the world
A trace of wind and rain road like a dream follows people in the vastness."
Mei Manlu can ensure that each sound in a word is clear and recognizable while maintaining the smooth and coherent melody line. This is not only a reflection of solid basic skills, but also due to rich experience in song interpretation.
Hearing the third part, the accompaniment that lacks the charm of ancient style becomes more and more obvious. Although it sounds good now, it can be better.
However, at this moment, Mei Manlu's picture suddenly interrupted, and a few seconds later it was switched to Jiang Ge.
I saw.
He was furious and said, "What's going on with NetEase Cloud Music? They cut off the video now. And Mei Manlu, don't you know that this is a new song that was released on March 1st?"
What's going on?
The audience in the live broadcast room were confused.
Is this...
Live broadcast accident?
