Chapter 30 Domestic Entertainment, I'm here
At 7 p.m. on June 28, 2000, it had just rained in Yanjing, which was refreshing and cool.
In a recording studio called "Far Country" next to Tsinghua University, Li Shengyao met two music talents.
These two people are Lu Gengwu and Li Jian of the future Shuimu Nianhua combination.
Lu Gengwu grew a little unsatisfactory, and his facial features were not good.
Li Jian has a beautiful face and elegant demeanor, just like a noble young man.
At this time, Shuimu Nianhua had not yet been formed, and Lu Gengwu and Li Jian gathered together to play music.
Li Shengyao can hum the opening and ending song of "Love Destiny Hotel", but he can't sing it.
He needs someone to write lyrics and sing them out.
He rushed to Yanjing from Shanghai to Shanghai and started looking for people. He could only be good at singing. Guo Xiaodong happened to know Lu Lijian, so he introduced him to Li Shengyao.
He had a very good impression of Shuimu Nianhua. The first concert he had heard in his previous life was this group.
At that time, when mobile activities were held, as long as college students in dynamic areas could go in and listen to music with their mobile phones and student ID cards.
Li Jian and Lu Gengwu naturally saw Li Shengyao. The two of them were secretly surprised that the director was so young, but they didn't say much, they just took on jobs and made money.
"Two guys, I'll hum. You listen to the song, write the lyrics for me, and then sing it out and record it. The two songs cost 20,000 yuan. The copyright belongs to me. Is there any problem?"
Lu Gengwu was a little excited. They usually sing in bars, but they didn’t have that much money.
Li Jian is more steady, "Are there any quality requirements?"
"Just be able to get by, don't be too white in the lyrics."
The theme song of the Korean version of "Love Destiny Hotel" is called "The Day of Encounter", which was sung by Bae Yongjun. The tune is stable and low, with just a high note, and it is not difficult at all.
If you find someone, you can sing as long as you are not a duck-pronged voice.
The ending song is called "For Love", which has a faster pace and a happier pace, and it is not difficult.
For Li Jian and the others, it should be easy to get it.
"For Love" is a complete set of numbers, and this song does not have a high presence in TV series.
Although the tune of "The Day of Encounter" is peaceful, the tune of this song is very consistent with the temperament of the drama. When the protagonist's emotions fluctuate, this song is often matched.
The overall song is smooth and gentle, and it sounds very ordinary at first glance, but after getting used to it, there will be a feeling of not being finished and long-lasting.
When Li Jian and Lu Gengwu heard this, they looked at each other, then nodded in agreement.
"Okay, there are two contracts here, sign it."
After a moment, the two parties each obtained a contract. Li Shengyao was not shy, and then he hummed directly, "Um...um...um".
Both Li Jian and Lu Gengwu were able to create. The two of them wrote the scores based on Li Shengyao's humming and writing the scores very quickly. They didn't pay attention and completed the scores of the two songs in twenty minutes.
"I'll give you three days to write the lyrics and record the sounds. I've paid the fee to the recording studio. You can do it all these three days."
He doesn't understand music theory and doesn't know what instruments the two songs use. This is left to Li Jian and Lu Gengwu for consideration. Anyway, he doesn't expect these two songs to make money, which is in line with the artistic conception of the TV series.
After saying that, Li Shengyao was about to leave.
Li Jian chased him out, "Director, can you talk?"
Li Shengyao was a little surprised. He is very busy now.
Here I explained the theme song recording, and I also had to go to the dubbing room of Beijing Film Studio to stare at the actors' dubbing and the later subtitles splicing.
But he liked Li Jian very much, so he stopped, "Is there anything wrong?"
"Director, how did you come up with those two songs just now?"
Li Jian had been working on creation for a long time, but it was so difficult to create his own original songs.
The two songs just now have average levels of "For Love", but "The Day of Encounter" should be of medium or upper level.
He was very curious, how could this young director hum such a song?
He clearly doesn't understand music theory, but he doesn't know anything about music.
Li Shengyao smiled, "I think of it occasionally when I was filming."
He was actually a fan of Jaylen in his previous life, and he was a KTV McGrady Boss. Most of the songs of Lao Zhou and Li Shengyao could sing.
But he doesn't plan to take the singer route, nor does he plan to take the composer route.
Furthermore, he has a bottom line than Charlotte, so he does not copy Lao Zhou's songs and will give him a way out.
This time, "Love Destiny Hotel" was an accident. He was deeply impressed that summer and made him remember these two songs.
The only theme songs of the Korean dramas he could copy were "Dae Jang Geum".
Li Jian nodded. He wanted to see how others composed the songs. "Director, if you have such an opportunity in the future, call us and we will definitely sing for you."
"OK."
Li Shengyao then left.
Li Jian returned to the recording engineer and saw that Lu Gengwu had started writing lyrics. When he approached, he saw that he wrote very white.
"Don't write like this. People say don't be too plain, write better."
"Why are you doing so seriously if you pay 10,000 yuan?"
Lu Gengwu was just excited, but now he has signed a contract, but he feels that it is not high.
Li Jian gave Lu Gengwu a blank look, "This is the theme song of the TV series, maybe it will become popular, let's be serious."
"Hi, what kind of TV series can a twenty-year-old director shoot?"
Lu Gengwu looked around and said in a voice: "I heard from my friend that his TV series was edited in three days. The editors of Shanghai Film Studio were laughing to death. This is too fast. Look, 80% of them have collected it themselves and cannot be sold at all."
Li Jian was stunned, then looked at the music score in his hand, "It's not like it. These two songs are not high-quality, but they are also acceptable. I think Director Li is a serious person."
Lu Gengwu looked at the music score in his hand and was also puzzled.
These two songs are indeed OK.
His eyes rolled, "Old Li, I think we may be at a disadvantage."
“How to say it?”
"If this drama can be played on TV, this song "The Day of Encounter" may become popular. This copyright does not belong to us, and we don't even have the right to perform the singing, so that's not a loss."
"It's okay," Li Jian felt that Lu Gengwu was a little greedy, and he used money to do things, and he was thinking about getting more and more aggressive.
"We write the lyrics well, and if we write them well, maybe Director Lee is willing to let us sing it cheaper."
When Lu Gengwu thought of this, he felt it was beneficial, so he was much more serious.
The two of them then wrote the lyrics while playing with guitar and piano. They wrote two lyrics in one day, and the song score was completed.
The next two spent two days singing and recording.
On the third night, Li Jian and Lu Gengwu finished singing "The Day of Encounter", and there were bursts of applause outside. The two of them turned around and saw that it was Li Shengyao.
"Two guys, they sang very well."
Li Jian and Lu Gengwu were also a little proud.
Lu Gengwu then said: "Director, we have not been lazy these days. We have only slept for three or four hours in the past few days. Look, I have dark circles."
Li Shengyao smiled and did not respond. Lu Gengwu said this, so there would be something to say later, otherwise there would be no need to be miserable.
"Director, we really like "The Day of Encountering". If we want to sing in the future, can we be cheaper?"
Li Jian was so angry that he liked this song, so he looked at Li Shengyao quietly with expectation in his eyes.
Li Shengyao took the music score and saw the lyrics above. He found that the writing was quite artistic.
These two people are really doing their job.
He is a person with mutual benefit and win-win ideas. You help me, I help you, and it is convenient for people and me, and I am convenient for people.
He nodded, "Okay, then you two sing this song, I will give you 50% off."
Lu Gengwu and Li Jian were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Li Shengyao.
"Have you recorded it? I'm going to take it away."
"Okay, OK."
Li Shengyao smiled, picked up the tape, listened carefully, and confirmed that there was no problem, then nodded.
"It's very good. I hope I will have the opportunity to continue working together in the future. Goodbye, you guys."
Li Shengyao pushed open the door of the recording studio, and a bustling image came from his face, and lively sounds poured into his ears. This is Yanjing, the capital of this ancient and powerful country.
He smiled softly and walked out strode.
Domestic entertainment, I'm here.
