Rolling in the deep is definitely the peak of pop music in the first two decades of the 21st century.
To be modest, you can add the word "one". If you are not modest, it is absolutely OK not to add these two words directly.
So, all the people in the studio, except Li Mu, were excited to the extreme.
Du Wei even calmed down several times before she could adjust her breath and learn to sing the song.
Zhang Yadong, who is in charge of the production and arrangement of music, began to think about how to make arrangements for such an excellent pop song when listening to Du Wei's singing by Li Mu.
The foundation of a song is very important, the singer's singing is very important, and the arrangement is also very important.
Ci Qu is like a person's facial features and body, the singer's singing is like this person's feeling temperament, composition, like her hair style, makeup and clothes.
Take Princess Tian'an as an example. Many people are not uglier or even prettier than her, but their temperament is not as good as her, or their hair style, makeup and dress style are not as good as her.
Therefore, she was able to maintain a unique taste in the entertainment circle of beautiful women.
At this time, Zhang Yadong is like a stylist, who has worked hard to make rolling in the deep, a beautiful girl, into a top-notch super quality beauty.
Just when Zhang Yadong used all his inspiration to find a style of arrangement, Li Mu had taught Du Wei to sing the song and told her how it felt.
Later, Li Mu said to Zhang Yadong, "teacher Yadong, music arrangement..."
Zhang Yadong immediately took off his mouth and said, "President Li, I have a general idea about the composition..."
Li Mu smiled and said sorry, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yadong. I have some ideas about the arrangement. Can you improve it according to my ideas?"
"Ah" when Zhang Yadong heard this, he lost a little.
If I can participate in the arrangement of such a good work, I'm really proud of it.
But unexpectedly, Li Mu had already had the idea of arranging music.
He was very clear in his mind that Li Mu could write such a song, and his understanding and attainments of music had become a ghost. What he thought was that if he didn't know how to compose music, it would be better for him to work for him. But if he knew how to compose music, he could only serve as a supplementary work.
However, for such a god level pop song, even if it is to do a supporting work, it has been very satisfied.
Therefore, Zhang Yadong immediately adjusted his mind and asked Li Mu, "Mr. Li, can you give me a general introduction to the arrangement idea?"
Li Mu said: "my idea is that from Da Dao to Jian, the prelude will be dulled with the original guitar, and then Duwei will enter the first main song, the second main song, and the drummer will enter the bottom drum to strengthen the rhythm and atmosphere, the third will enter the piano and bass, and then when the first chorus is up, all instruments will rise, and harmony will come in."
As Zhang Yadong listened, he nodded and said, "Mr. Li, let me talk to the musicians and try it first."
"Good!"
Although Li Mu's description is not professional enough, Zhang Yadong is still very professional. He quickly figured out Li Mu's needs, and then began to communicate with the musicians about the specific performance of the song.
We rehearsed several times. After we got a clear feeling, we called Du Wei. Let's go first and try to feel it. Then we will improve some small details. If the whole thing is OK, we will go directly to the shed.
The black swan chorus from the Central Conservatory of music was invited by Zhang Yadong to make harmony for set fire to the rain. This is the first harmony singing combination in China, and it's a real academic background with high music knowledge and vocal music level.
When hearing the song "rolling in the deep", three girls of the black swan chorus were deeply shocked. When they heard that they were lucky enough to continue to participate in the harmony recording of the song, all three were very excited.
According to Li Mu's humming, Zhang Yadong soon perfected a set of two part harmony.
Then, for the first time, everyone went in to record.
Everyone's mood at this time is full of excitement and expectation, because everyone is very clear that what they are about to participate in the recording is an extremely rare classic masterpiece. They are like sculptors facing a piece of the best material. There is only one idea in their mind, so they must make this work to the extreme.
Although the song is classic, the overall arrangement is from the main road to the simple. For professional musicians, the accompaniment difficulty of the song is almost entry-level, so they quickly presented the original accompaniment.
Next, the most tested is Dewey.
Her body is thin and her timbre is not as thick as Adele's, but after all, she is a professional singer, so she can also approach 80%.
In a day and a half, Du Wei kept adjusting her singing style, letting her voice blend in with the style of the song, and finally achieved the level of 90% close to the original.After recording and mixing, we listened to the final version of the song with our breath held in front of the monitor.
From the beginning of the prelude, the rhythm of this song is very clear, especially like constantly punching the audience's heart with the same rhythm, which can mobilize people's rhythm.
When Dewey started to sing, the charm of the song suddenly appeared.
With the increasing number of instruments and the release of the overall momentum, the attraction of this song is becoming more and more strong.
Until we could have had it all, rolling in the deep, everyone felt the atmosphere was so strong that it exploded!
Zhang Yadong was so excited that he even shook his hands. When the song was finished, he immediately said to Li Mu, "President Li, this song must be recorded in history! It's really great! "
Li Yanliang could not help sighing: "even if this song is taken to the Grammy, it is no less than the works of famous European and American singers!"
Li Mu said with a faint smile: "Xiaowei is going to Europe and the United States roadshow soon. Before she starts her first roadshow, I will first push the song set fire to the rain to the whole world. Once the song has aroused enthusiasm, the film will be released soon. I will make Spielberg make a new copy of rolling in the "Deep" will be put into the subtitle stage. As the final song of the whole movie, it will definitely shake all the audience in the cinema. "
After that, Li Mu said: "at that time, everyone will have a great curiosity about this song. If they want to know what the song is called and who sang it, they have to wait in the cinema. At the end of the movie, the name of the song, the name of the performer and the worker behind the scenes will appear. I promise you all the work today People's names will appear in the sequence of people behind the song, and no matter in any country in the world, we will show their Chinese names! "
As soon as the words came out, everyone was excited and cheered.
Even the three girls of the black swan chorus couldn't help crying.
It's a great honor to participate in the production of such a song. If this song can become the final piece of Flying Tigers, it will be even more honored.
Moreover, if your name can also appear in the final subtitle, it is even more honored!
Li Mu is well aware of the artist's ultimate pursuit of the work, and he immediately said: "if this song will win awards in the future, or be invited to perform in Grammy, Oscar and other important occasions, then I also promise you that everyone present will be the first choice for the performance. This song was created by the big family together, and everyone has the right to join it on the world stage!"
This time, Rao is a man like Zhang Yadong and Li Yanliang. His eyes are red.
……
Three days later, Dewey flew to the United States.
Because of the turnover of several countries in the United States and Europe, Duwei's mother and sister dufei accompanied her to the United States.
Li Mu contributed his own Gulfstream G550, which was used to carry their three mothers and other accompanying staff around.
As for Liu Ye, who is going to do road shows in the Asian region, naturally, he doesn't have such a high salary.
Dewey's first stop in the United States is Los Angeles, where Hollywood is located.
The first roadshow of "Flying Tigers" in the United States was in the best theater and the largest theater in Hollywood.
Spielberg has mobilized all his resources. At that time, it will be all the top celebrities in Hollywood and the top media in the United States.
Roadshow, to put it bluntly, is selective screening in advance.
For example, in Hollywood roadshow, we invite Hollywood bigwigs and media reporters to come over and try the movie first. After watching, the creators will come out and introduce more details of the movie to you. In this way, the media will report the next day to improve the exposure of the movie in front of the masses.
The celebrities who won the show will also be a big selling point of media reports, and then the film's exposure will be further improved.
At the same time, there will be special commentators to release reviews that do not contain, or contain very few spoilers, to further stimulate the audience's appetite.
The next stop is in New York City, where the local celebrities and big media are invited.
In this way, the continuous roadshow in front of high-end people and the media can cause enough sensationalism in the local area, which is also the key purpose of roadshow.
For the audiences in Europe and America, Dewey is totally unfamiliar to them. They have never seen any movie of Dewey before, only saw some clips of Dewey in the trailer released, so she has no influence in Europe and America.
Now "21 guns" has been at the top of music charts all over the world for more than a week, which finally makes Dewey's reputation in Europe and the United States have improved to a certain extent.
However, European and American music pays attention to exposure, and MV is extremely important, because MV can let the songs give the audience visual impact, so that when the audience listens to the songs, they can see the singer and see the story behind the song.Du Wei's "21 guns" suffers from the loss because there is no MV, so there is a phenomenon of "the singer is not popular".
However, Li Mu knows that once set fire to the rain is released, Du Wei will definitely make a splash in Europe and America even if she doesn't show her face at all.
If we wait until rolling in the deep comes out, the whole western world will be shocked by these two songs!
