Chapter 19 Film Score
The day after the closing banquet, Lin Shu had no intention of taking a break. He just started post-production non-stop.
Time is money now. If you finish the film earlier, you can submit it for review earlier. After it passes review and gets the dragon mark, the film can be monetized.
It only took 20 days to shoot the movie, but it took Lin Shu a full month for post-production. The main reason for this was that the edited film required actors to come back to dub the characters, and some sound effects needed to be added.
, the shot needs to be reshot.
After everything was settled, there was only one shortcoming left in A Study in Scarlet: the soundtrack!
……
Lin Shu was carrying a business bag, looking at the dusk recording studio in front of him, listening to the buzzing sound coming from inside, and strode in.
This place belongs to Tangren Company, which specializes in dubbing and soundtrack work for Tangren TV series. Of course, if Tangren's artists want to release personal albums or singles, they will also come here to record songs.
In order to spend the money more cost-effectively, Lin Shu chose to pick up Zhong Weiguo's wool again. With his reputation as an investor, Lin Shu easily contacted Dusk Video Studio to provide the soundtrack for his movie.
Because he had made an appointment in advance, after Lin Shu entered the Dusk Recording Studio, a female assistant named Huang came to guide him to the person in charge.
When Lin Shu followed Assistant Huang through a recording studio, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and the person who walked out happened to be in front of the two of them.
The first person to come out was a somewhat obese woman. When she saw Lin Shu and the two standing in the middle of the road, she blocked them with her body, as if the person who would come out later would be a delicate and easily defeated person.
p>
As a result, when the real owner showed up, Lin Shu found that he was not delicate at all. The man was wearing sunglasses and was only slightly shorter than Lin Shu. Judging from the facial contour and the highly recognizable aquiline nose,
, he looks a bit like the Tang Dynasty leader Hu Ge.
Assistant Huang seemed to have recognized the man, and pushed Lin Shu with his elbow, indicating that he should go first. The direction the man in sunglasses was leaving was exactly the direction Lin Shu and the others came in. When he passed by the two of them, he
He even turned to look at Lin Shu.
After the people walked away, the assistant standing in front of Lin Shu said loudly: "Do you know who that person was just now? Brother Hu! I heard that he came to record songs today. I didn't expect to meet him here. If
If his assistant hadn't stopped me, I would have wanted to take a photo!"
It was really Brother Hu... Lin Shu had cooperated with him several times in his previous life, but Brother Hu's temperament at that time was very different from now, which made him miss him.
When Lin Shu came to his senses, Assistant Huang was still regretting that he didn't ask for a photo with Brother Hu, so he couldn't help but ask: "Isn't your Twilight Recording Studio a company owned by Tangren? Brother Hu is from Tangren.
Brother Yi, then it should be easy for you to meet him, right?"
"How can it be so easy?! Brother Hu is so busy, either filming or making announcements. I have been working here for more than two years, and today is the third time I have seen him. This time he came to record songs for Swordsman III. This is
Our studio’s top priority until next month!”
The filming of Sword and Sword III has been completed and he is currently working on the TV soundtrack. This news is not good for Lin Shu. Because his movie soundtrack has collided with Sword and Sword III. Sword and Sword III is the most important project of Tang Dynasty and must have a higher priority than Sword and Sword III.
I will only have to wait for my own projects.
Thinking of this relationship, Lin Shu fell silent. Perhaps seeing that he was not listening to her, Assistant Huang obediently closed his mouth and continued to lead Lin Shu inside.
The two finally stopped at the door of a large recording studio. After walking in, Lin Shu understood why this recording studio was so big.
There were dozens of various orchestral instruments on display here. Among them, the five violins placed in position C and the long-haired man standing in front of them caught Lin Shu's attention the most.
After seeing the other person, Assistant Huang walked straight to his side and whispered a few times to him.
After the other party turned around, Lin Shu also saw his appearance clearly. He looked to be in his early thirties, with a thin build, and his overall temperament suggested that he was more of a painter than a musician.
It's already a bit chilly in Shanghai in November, but the other party's upper body is only wearing a linen shirt except for the base layer underneath.
After seeing Lin Shu, he walked over directly, extended his hand and introduced himself:
"Hello, Mr. Lin. My name is Chen Mingkai, and I am the music director of Dusk Recording Studio. I heard that you already have ideas for this soundtrack. I hope to know what effect you want."
"Hello, I wrote a simple score, and the tone will be based on it. The overall style hopes to have a tense and jumping feeling!"
Lin Shu is just a listener when it comes to music. It's definitely not possible to ask him to tell you some professional requirements. If you can tell what you want, it's already good. And his requirements are better than those who are required to do design.
Is it necessary to be precise when making colorful black?
Lin Shu took out the simplified score he had prepared from his bag. He naturally wanted to reproduce the original version of Sherlock's soul soundtrack "The game is on", but he didn't know where the original author of this song was now.
In order to restore it as much as possible, Lin Shu initially thought of telling the composer what effect he wanted by humming.
It's just that this method sounds stupid. Fortunately, Lin Shu's mother Ye Mengqin graduated with a music major. With her help, this music score can be easily reproduced, so that it can be considered as a soundtrack.
Skeleton.
This time when he came to Dusk Recording Studio, what Lin Shu wanted to do was to choose the right musical instrument to add flesh and blood to this simple score.
After Chen Mingkai took the musical score, he hummed to the notes twice. At first, he was very casual, but after humming the prelude, his body seemed to have a rhythm.
After waiting for about two minutes, Chen Mingkai's eyes suddenly lit up and he stared at Lin Shu closely.
Lin Shu's back felt cold when he was stared at by this scorching gaze. After taking a step back without leaving any trace, he asked carefully: "Ahem, Director Chen, do you have any questions?"
"Mr. Lin, I have a heartfelt request, I hope you can agree."
"Um, is this piece difficult to do?"
"No, this piece is very good! It's not difficult at all!"
Chen Mingkai took another step forward as he spoke. Seeing his movements, Lin Shu took a step back again. As the two of them moved forward and back, one looked wary and the other looked fanatical. If this scene was seen by a rotten girl,
Then she must have already thought about the outline of the novel in her mind.
Lin Shu saw that the other party still wanted to move forward, and quickly said: "Director Chen, if there are difficulties, you don't need to persist at all. I may not be able to satisfy your request..."
"No, no, no, Mr. Lin, please fulfill my request! Although the musical score of this piece is from you, I still hope that you will allow me to have the right of signature on the film soundtrack!"
"Ah? Signature rights! Is that all about it?" Lin Shu looked at the man in front of him with a confused face. He had a look on his face and had been trying for a long time just to get the signature rights.
"Yes! Mr. Lin, please agree to my request!"
Although Chen Mingkai felt that Lin Shu's reaction was a bit strange, he didn't think about anything else. He just wanted to leave his name on this piece of music.
Lin Shu did not retreat any further. He stood still and touched his chin with his hand, "It's just the right of signature. If it doesn't involve other commercial properties, it's not impossible. It's just this piece of music, I'm in a hurry..."<
/p>
"No problem, Mr. Lin, as long as you agree to my request. Then I will do nothing for the next week and just work on this piece!"
Lin Shu clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and then quickly stretched his hands in front of Chen Mingkai.
Chapter completed!
