MTL - Rebirth in a Perfect Era

"Rollgthedeep" is definitely the pinnacle of pop music in the first two decades of the 21st century.

Be humble, and you can add the word "one". If you are not humble, it is absolutely fine to not add these two words.

Therefore, everyone in the recording studio, except Li Mu, was extremely excited.

Du Wei even calmed down several times before she was able to adjust her breathing and learn to sing this song.

Zhang Yadong, who is in charge of production and arrangement, listened to Li Mu teaches Du Wei to sing, and began to consider how to arrange such an excellent pop song.

For a song, the basis of the lyrics is important, the singer's singing is important, and the arrangement is also important.

The song is like the features and body of a person. The singer's singing is like the person's temperament. The arrangement is like her hairstyle, makeup and clothes.

Take Princess Queen, for example, many people are not uglier or even more beautiful than her, but they are either less temperamental than her, or they have worse hairstyles, makeup, and clothing styles than her.

Therefore, she can always maintain a unique taste in the entertainment circle of beautiful women.

At this time Zhang Yadong was like a stylist, desperately racked her brains, and wanted to make "rollgthedeep" a beautiful girl into a top super temperament beauty.

Just when Zhang Yadong exhausted all his inspirations and probably found an arrangement style, Li Mu had taught Du Wei to sing this song and told her how it felt.

Later, Li Mu said to Zhang Yadong, "Mr. Yadong, arranger ..."

Zhang Yadong immediately blurted out, "General Manager Li, arrange this, I have a general idea ..."

Li Mu smiled slightly and said sorry, "Sorry, Mr. Yadong, I personally have some ideas for the arranger. Can you improve it according to my ideas?"

"Ah," Zhang Yadong heard this, and his heart was somewhat lost.

Such a good work, if you can participate in the arrangement, it is really honorable.

But I did not expect that Li Mu already had the idea of ​​arranging.

He knew very well that Li Mu could write such a song, and his understanding and accomplishment of music was already a ghost. What he thought was that if he did n’t know how to arrange the music, it would be better for him to do it for himself, but if he knew How to arrange music, then you can only serve as an auxiliary work.

However, for such a god-like pop song, even if it is a subsidiary work, it is already very satisfied.

So Zhang Yadong immediately adjusted his mindset and asked Li Mu, "General Manager Li, can you introduce me to the arrangement idea?"

Li Mu said, "My idea is that the avenue is simple, and the prelude is muffled with an acoustic guitar. Then Du Wei enters the first main song, and when it reaches the second main song, the drummer enters the kick drum to strengthen the rhythm and atmosphere. Three steps into the piano and bass, and then when the first chorus starts, all the instruments get up and the harmony comes in. "

Zhang Yadong nodded while listening, and said, "So President Li, let me communicate with the musicians, and then try it first."

"it is good!"

Although Li Mu's description is not professional, fortunately Zhang Yadong is still very professional. He quickly figured out Li Mu's needs, and then began to communicate with the musicians how to play the song.

Everyone rehearsed a few times, and after getting a feel for it, we called Du Wei over. Everyone went to try it first, and then perfected some small details. If the whole feels OK, go straight to the shed.

The Black Swan Choir from the Central Conservatory of Music was invited by Zhang Yadong to harmonize "setfiretothera". This is the first harmonious singing group in China, and it is from a real science class. It has a high level of music theory and vocal music. .

When I heard the song "rollgthedeep", the three girls of the Black Swan Choir had been deeply shocked. When I heard that I was lucky enough to continue to participate in the harmony recording of this song, all three were very excited.

Zhang Yadong quickly developed a two-voice harmony based on Li Mu's humming.

Immediately afterwards, everyone entered the studio for the first time to record.

Everyone's mood at this time is full of excitement and expectations, because everyone knows that they are about to participate in the recording, it is an extremely rare classic masterpiece, they are like a sculptor facing the best piece of material There is only one idea in my mind, we must make this work to the extreme.

Although this song is classic, the overall arrangement is very simple. For professional musicians, the accompaniment of this song is almost entry-level, so they quickly presented the original accompaniment that is not bad. .

Next, the most tested is Du Wei.

Her body is thinner and her tone is not as strong as that of Adele, but after all, she is a professional learner to sing, so she can get close to 80%.

For a day and a half, Du Wei constantly adjusted her singing method, constantly adjusted her voice with the style of the song, and finally she successfully achieved 90% of the original level.

After all recording and mixing, everyone listened to the final version of the song before holding the monitor.

From the beginning of the intro, the rhythm of this song is very clear, especially like constantly punching the fist and hitting the listener's heart with the same rhythm, which can mobilize people's rhythm.

When Du Wei sang, the charm of the song suddenly appeared.

With the continuous increase of musical instruments and the continuous release of the overall momentum, the appeal of this song has become stronger.

Until the chorus weuldhavehaditall and rollgthedeep sang, everyone felt the atmosphere was so strong that it exploded!

Zhang Yadong's excited hands were shaking. When the song was finished, he immediately said to Li Mu, "Mr. Li, this song must be able to be recorded in history! It is really great!"

Li Yanliang couldn't help but sigh, "Even if this song is taken to Grammy, it's nothing less than the works of well-known European and American singers!"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Wei is about to go to the roadshow in Europe and America. I will push the song" setfiretothera "to the whole world before she starts the first roadshow. Once this song has become popular, The movie is about to be released, and I will ask Spielberg to make a new copy and put "rollgthedeep" at the end of the subtitles. As the ending of the whole film, it will definitely shock all audiences in the cinema. "

After all, Li Mu said, "At that time, everyone will be very curious about this song. If they want to know what the song is called and who sang it, they must wait in the cinema until the end of the movie. Finally, the name of this song, as well as the names of the singers and behind-the-scenes workers, I assure you that the names of all the staff present today will appear in the behind-the-scenes sequence of this song, and no matter what In any country in the world, we will show his Chinese name! "

With that, everyone cheered with excitement.

Even the three girls of the Black Swan Chorus could not help shed tears.

It is a great honor to participate in the production of such a song. If this song can become the ending song of the Flying Tigers, it will be even more honored.

Moreover, if your name can also appear in the final subtitles, it is even more honored!

Li Mu is well aware of the artist's ultimate pursuit of his work. He also immediately said, "If this song is awarded in the future, or if you are invited to perform on important occasions such as Grammy, Oscar, etc., I also promise you that everyone present will be This is the song of choice for performances. Everyone has created this song, and everyone has the right to join the world stage with it! "

This time, Rao is a man like Zhang Yadong and Li Yanliang, and his eyes are red.

...

Three days later, Du Wei flew to the United States.

Because of the need to work through the United States and several European countries this time, Du Wei's mother and sister Du Fei personally accompanied her to the United States.

Li Mu contributed her own Gulfstream g550 to carry their mother-in-law and other accompanying staff around.

As for Liu Ye who is going to perform a roadshow in the Asian region, naturally he is not treated so highly.

Du Wei's first stop in the United States was Los Angeles, where Hollywood is.

"Flying Tigers" 's first roadshow in the United States was in Hollywood's best theaters and largest theaters.

Spielberg launched all his own resources, and by then, all the top names in Hollywood and the top media in the United States will be present.

Roadshows, plainly speaking, are selective early screenings.

For example, at a Hollywood roadshow, invite Hollywood gangsters and media reporters to let them come and try the movie first. After watching it, the main creative staff will come out and introduce more details to this movie. In this way, the second Sky Media will report to increase the exposure of the film to the masses.

These star celebrities who are here to join the show will also be a big selling point for media reports. At that time, the exposure of the movie will be further improved.

At the same time, there will be special reviewers to release movie reviews that do not contain, or contain very few spoilers, to further mobilize the appetite of the audience.

The next stop was in New York, where we invited local celebrities and big media in New York.

Such continuous roadshows in front of high-end people and the media can cause enough sensation in the local area, which is also the key purpose of the roadshow.

To European and American audiences, Du Wei is completely unfamiliar with them. They have not seen any of Du Wei's movies before, and have only watched some clips from the trailer released by Du Wei, so she is nothing in Europe and the United States. Influence.

"21guns" has now reached the top of music charts around the world for more than a week ~ www. ~ finally considered Du Wei's reputation in Europe and the United States has improved to some extent.

However, European and American music pays attention to exposure, and v is extremely important, because v can make the song give the audience a visual impact, so that when the audience listens to the song, they see the singer and the story behind the song.

Du Wei's "21guns" suffers because it suffers when there is no v, so there is a phenomenon of "singing reds but not reds".

However, Li Mu knew very well that when "setfiretothera" was released, Du Wei would definitely make a splash in Europe and the United States even if she did not show her face from start to finish.

If you wait until "rollgthedeep" comes out, the whole western world will be shocked by these two songs!
