Chapter 1166

"Yes, yes, I know. I have no confidence in acting. I don't know. He is such a powerful actor, Jesus Christ. Is he ten years younger than me? Or nine? All in all, I thought they were similar to Jesse Eisenberg. They were both young actors of the new generation.

What's more, when it comes to social networking, Jesse's role is a powerful type. This time, it's just a singer in distress. Naturally, I don't worry too much. I always think that this time, the role will be simpler. But who knew it would look like this.

Now I know what acting aura is. God, how did the actors who worked with Meryl Streep and Daniel Day Lewis stick to it? "

Justin Timberlake is on the phone, and his new wife Jessica bell is on the other end. Even though they are separated from each other, they are still talking on the phone like glue, and today is no exception. At this time, Justin was sighing, and Jessica on the other end of the phone was laughing.

"Don't worry today. Today is my place. I'm not nervous... Ha ha, he said that he is not a singer... What's the sales volume? My album sold better! Yes, I'm sure! I'm quite sure! Anyway, I'm sure I'm not worried at all. "

With that, Justin's voice dropped and he pushed the door into the building. "I'm in now." At the same time, the steps also slightly lowered down, nodded politely to the staff next to him, and asked in a voice, "which recording room are they in?" After getting the instructions, Justin said "thank you" and started again.

"I'm 15 minutes ahead of schedule, and I'm now strongly skeptical that I'm the only one here. As you know, musicians have no concept of time. They are all European time. It's only nine o'clock in the morning. It's estimated that they are still in the middle of the night. They worked until three or four o'clock in the morning last night. How can they get up at this time.

But... I still have to come and prepare ahead of time.

Ha! Absolutely not because of the lack of confidence, of course not! Well, I admit, I don't understand ballads very well. Please, I'm a pop and jazz player, OK? Reggae or rhythm and blues are also slightly involved, but ballads? I'm not all rounder. "

At the same time, make complaints about the Tucao, and Justin's mood relaxed completely. "I arrived. Well, I'll call you later, love you. "

Today and tomorrow, the production of "drunken folk songs" will be suspended for two days. Because the Cohen brothers need to pause, they complete the music related work of the crew, including the meeting of the sounder and the music producer, including the adaptation and production of the original tracks, and the communication meeting between the actors and the producers.

According to Langley's suggestion, the choral repertoire of Levine and his partner Mickey should be listed separately, even if it is only as a supplement to the background, which is also an important part of Levine's role.

After discussion, the Cohen brothers adopted Langley's advice. They decided to invite a singer to "guest" Mickey——

The reason why guest stars need quotation marks is that this character will not appear on the screen, but only exist in the sound track. However, in the dialogue of the character, he also exists truly and vividly.

This special guest singer will complete the recording of "wave goodbye" with Lan Li; In addition, he will be involved in the recording of the "ancient trio".

The former is planned while the latter is unplanned. The reason is not complicated. The song in the movie will be sung unaccompanied to highlight a series of fashion catching patterns in the wave of folk songs. However, this way of performance needs running in and training, and the cooperation between singers is the most important. Otherwise, the live performance is likely to become a traffic accident.

For actors, this is undoubtedly more difficult than expected; Moreover, it is still a quartet, and the four actors must reach a tacit understanding, which further increases the difficulty.

After careful consideration, the Cohen brothers still decided to take the recording method, which will be the only track in the whole film that is not a live performance.

Now that they have decided to use the recording method, the Cohen brothers have come up with an idea, which is buried in the movie clues as a deep dark line:

If Mickey and Jim join hands in the remake and interpretation of this "old trio", Mickey has already chosen compromise before committing suicide, but he still can't cross the threshold of his heart. In a sense, it intensifies the contradiction and becomes the fuse; Or, Mickey did not dare to face Levine, suffering from guilt and shame, depression triggered the impulse, so he chose to end himself; Or other possibilities.

The specific setting can leave a blank for the actors to taste and the careful audience to think.

On the one hand, it really enriched the different choices of the whole ballad era, and even enriched Levine's role in a sense; On the other hand, it is also a good thing for guest singers to participate more in film creation.

Although this idea is too idealistic, not to mention whether the audience can recognize a particular singer's voice through live performance, even if they notice such details through the original singer and return to the film, it is difficult to connect the role with the plot in a short time. In other words, the audience is likely to completely ignore this detail and never discover it.

However, the Cohen brothers and Langley still insist on doing so. This kind of blank space, hidden in the film, is actually an interesting thing, which is left to the audience who really like this work to dig slowly, which is also one of the fun of watching the film.

In the next two days, the crew will focus on the discussion of music production.

As for recording, I'm not in a hurry now. After all the films are finished, the main actors will enter the studio to complete the recording of the original sound; The guest singer doesn't have to worry. He can record his own track ahead of time, and the actors can record their own track later, which can be synthesized through post production in the studio.

Today, besides Justin, all the singers who need to sing live will arrive at the studio to start today's work.

After hanging up the phone, Justin pushed open the heavy door of the studio, but before he could put his cell phone in his pocket, he could not help but take a small step back and stare at the hot discussion in front of him——

On the left hand side, three people are sitting on different sofa positions, but they are sitting face to face in groups. Each person is holding a guitar in his arms, and is sketching the strings, humming the melody, or hitting the rhythm with his fingertips and feet. They are totally addicted to each other. They are discussing how to arrange the music.

On the right hand side, four people are standing or sitting together, holding a piece of music that looks like a piece of music. Everyone is immersed in their own world and communicates with each other from time to time. Those discussions can capture a few words, "can you raise half a key?" Or, "does the beat need to be a quarter slower?"

The huge studio was so hot that Justin strongly suspected that he was in the wrong room——

When recording an album, it's not like this. It's not a space for musicians to work. It's a crew. It's definitely a movie crew; But in front of the sound insulation room and recording equipment occupy most of the line of sight, can not be ignored, that kind of chaotic and disobedient visual impact let Justin stop.

The first thought in my mind was, "I'm... Late?"

On the right are Kerry Mulligan, Adam dreyford, stark sanders and Chris thile.

Chris sley is a member of the punch brothers and the lead singer. This is an independent folk chorus band from New York. It was founded in 2006 and signed an independent brand of Warner Brothers. On average, there are works coming out every year, and it is constantly touring.

This time, the current five members of the boxing brothers will join in the production of the "drunken folk" soundtrack. Although it was the idea of Warner Brothers, it was also approved by the Cohen brothers. They will be responsible for the harmony part and will be the main singer of the "old trio". But today, it's not a recording job, it's a creative stage, so only Chris came to report.

In short, it's still mainly actors.

On the left are Langley hall, t-bone-burnett and Marcus Mumford.

If the other side is the cast, then... Is this the singer cast?

Justin is full of question marks now. He always thinks something is wrong, but he can't say it again.

According to the plan, this should be Justin's territory.

Boxing brothers, Ben Bennett and Marcus Mumford are all very familiar to him, especially Marcus. They met at the Grammy Awards ceremony before, and later became good friends, occasionally talking on the phone; Even the other two, they have met, even if they are not familiar with each other, they are still peers.

Naturally, Justin intends to take on the role of "bridge" and build a bridge between actors and singers. He may even need to lubricate the way of communication. After all, he is the only artist in the whole cast who has made some achievements in both fields.

Last night, Justin even made up his mind about how to introduce each other, how to cut into the topic, how to discuss the situation, and gradually mastered the initiative and the whole audience. Today, he will turn the situation around. This is the place where he can do well. He needs to show his ability.

But now, is he missing something? Why does the studio look so strange? Why is there a kind of embarrassment of anti Hakka?
