Chapter 398 - Wishing for a Long Life
There is actually some discussion in the film and television industry about the popularity of "The Eight Faithful Dogs".
The industry has once again refreshed its perceptions of fish envy--
This fish is really strong!
From comedy to suspense, and now simply engage in drama, the genre obviously does not match, but the box office is uniformly high.
And, word of mouth has never been bad!
This time it's an historic run of more than nine points!
It's hard for seasoned veterans of the film industry to imagine that Fish envy is just a newcomer to the film industry.
All of Fish envy's films, including The Eight Faithful Dogs, are not too expensive, but the box office is always shockingly high.
The feeling one gets is.
Fish envy is very good at making big things out of small things.
Some have even suggested that fish's ability as a screenwriter is almost as good as his ability as a composer.
But this is quickly refuted by those who know Fish envy.
"Fish envy's screenwriting level is certainly not as good as his achievements in composing, he is a little song daddy in the composing circle, but among the new screenwriters in the film and television industry, fish envy's ability is definitely considered one of the best!"
And for the success of Fish envy.
What has shaken the industry is not the box office figures of "The Eight Faithful Dogs".
The box office data of the first week can show the ultimate potential of a movie.
Under normal circumstances, the final box office of this movie is estimated to be around one billion, which is better than the last movie of Fish envy.
But this is a box office figure that many movies can get.
After the merging of the continents, many movies have made more than ten billion at the box office.
What's really great about Fish envy is that the cost of The Eight Faithful Dogs is so low!
And don't forget.
This "The Eight Faithful Dogs" is a serious melodrama!
In the movie market, feature films have never been a high grossing genre, and the fact that they can be made to be both acclaimed and box office hits is in itself very positive.
Lin Yuan himself is also satisfied with the box office of "The Eight Faithful Dogs".
Although he doesn't know enough about the current market model, Lin Yuan knows how difficult it is for feature films to get box office.
In Lin Yuan's original expectation, as long as the box office of this movie is on par with that of The Tuner, it will be a good result.
In the end, he didn't expect that the box office of this movie would even probably surpass that of The Tuner.
This is also a pleasant surprise.
"Next, it's time to record a new song for December."
Although he remained concerned about the box office trend of "The Eight Faithful Dogs", Lin Yuan didn't forget about the December battle of the gods.
He finally contacted JiangKui to prepare for the recording of the song.
As soon as she received the news, she rushed to the recording studio.
"Fish envy teacher ......"
"Here's the song, familiarize yourself with it first."
Lin Yuan took out the sheet music of "I Wish People Would Last Forever".
Originally, Lin Yuan did have a plan to change the title of the song to "When Will the Moon Be".
But recently, Lin Yuan carefully considered it and decided to use the original name of the song.
Because the words "When Will the Moon Be" do not have the same emotion as the words "I hope people will last forever".
The meaning of the latter, however, is much better.
You know that the most recognized line from "The Song of Water" is "I wish for longevity, a thousand miles of graceful interplay".
"May it last a long time?"
When Jiang Mei got the sheet music, she immediately saw the title of the song.
But what really stunned her were the lyrics to "I Wish People Would Last Forever"!
"Mr. Fish Envy, these lyrics ......"
"Is there a problem?"
"No, I meant to say ......"
Jiang Mei is actually quite literate.
The moment she saw the lyrics, countless gorgeous descriptions appeared in her mind, but what finally came out of her mouth was the most vulgar of all four words.
"It's too pushy!"
Lin Yuan: "......"
That doesn't seem like a bad thing to say.
"Try it." Lin Yuan said, "No need to record today, I'll accompany you to get familiar with it."
"OK!"
Jiankui's motivation was about to overflow, and even her steps into the recording studio were tiger-like.
The studio staff looked at Jiankui with a touch of emotion in their eyes, just as the recording engineer had said before - "I'm so happy to be here!
This girl is so lucky.
Such a good song, such good words, if those song kings and queens knew about it, I'm afraid they would grab it and sing it.
"Sing the front first."
Lin Yuan ignored the thoughts of the bystanders and spoke directly.
Jiang Kui nodded, almost with reverence, and sang experimentally.
Lin Yuan did not speak, and listened quietly.
The first stage is to let JiangKui be familiar with the song, the specific requirements, have to wait until she is relatively proficient.
For a good singer, it doesn't take long to achieve basic proficiency.
Half an hour later, Jiang Mei had mastered the melody.
Lin Yuan opened his mouth: "The lower and middle regions should make moderate use of nasal resonance, and the upper regions don't need to be too loud, making full use of the mask resonance effect to focus the voice, so that it can appear clear and penetrating ......".
"Hmm."
Jiang Mei immediately sang in the way Lin Yuan requested.
Although it was not a formal recording, from this attempt, Lin Yuan had begun to interrupt Jiang Mei's singing frequently.
"Here is the head cavity resonance."
"The oropharyngeal control is not natural enough, don't just think about technique when you sing, technique goes with the territory."
"Soprano weak singing is also an ability, don't practice it yet, see if you can sing C5 to G5 high notes with natural vocal range, that is, talk-like strength and tone."
Weak singing has always been one of the most difficult techniques to master in vocal music.
Teresa Teng is very good at this kind of high-pitched weak singing, and some fans who are used to hearing the bombardment of strong voices may even think that Teresa Teng has no high notes because of this, but it is actually a very advanced way of handling high notes.
In the song "Long Live the Wishes of Man", there are high notes, but not high enough for the singer.
He needed JiangKui to show more ability.
That's why he gave Jiang Kuai practice in advance.
Once again, Jiang Mei sang according to Lin Yuan's explanation, and this time there was a clear improvement, to which Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
"You try this again."
Lin Yuan gave a demonstration to Jiang Kuai.
It wasn't the first time Lin Yuan had done a demonstration in the studio, and the staff and the singers who had worked with Jiang Kuai knew that Lin Yuan was not only a composer, but also a good singer, but his voice didn't seem to be able to accept high intensity singing, so he wasn't overly surprised.
"The coda is going to be warped?"
"Yes, but it has to be natural."
This is Lin Yuan's advantage.
He can communicate with singers in the way that singers do.
Some directors in the film and television industry are especially able to understand actors and are better at disciplining them because they have been actors and are quite good at acting.
In Lin Yuan's case, it's the same thing.
That's all.
During the days when "The Eight Faithful Dogs" was still in theaters, Lin Yuan was in the recording studio, practicing songs with JiangKui.
This made JiangKui's singing of the song "I Wish People Would Last Forever" more and more comfortable.
It's not just that the singing is getting better and better.
Even Jiankui's confidence in the December Battle of the Gods grew stronger as she practiced.
The greatest source of this confidence was the quality of the song itself, "May It Last!
The continuous practice went on for several days.
Lin Yuan finally called a halt to the practice: "You've basically mastered the song, just practice it by yourself every day next, we'll wait for a week and then formally record it."
"Good!"
Jiang Kuai replied extremely loudly.
Lin Yuan nodded his head and suddenly said, "What happened to your eyes?"
Jiang Kui was fine a few days ago, but today her eyes were extremely red, and Lin Yuan was worried that she wasn't too stressed from practicing her song.
"Eyes?"
Jiang Kui was stagnant, then looked a little bit grumpy: "Yesterday, I met Sun Yaohuo, he suddenly kindly gave me a ticket to the movie "The Eight Faithful Dogs", and said that the movie was very warm and healing, so I thought it was your movie, and went to the theater to watch it tonight."
Lin Yuan: "......"
