Chapter 2079: Broadcast

Among those who create soundtracks for film and television works in China, there are also masters. Zhao Jiping is undoubtedly the best among them. His compositions for "Yellow Earth", "Red Sorghum", "Raise the Red Lantern" The soundtrack has long been famous all over the world, and now Shen Long invited this master to make the soundtrack for "Water Margin".

In fact, Shen Long was a little embarrassed when he saw this man. He had copied the work of this master when he was in other mission worlds. After the meeting, he asked Zhao Jiping to watch the rough cut TV series, and Zhao Jiping watched a few episodes. Then nodded, "When you told me about this before, I appreciated the point of view that excellent music has regional and national characteristics, so I went to Yuncheng, Liangshan and other places to collect a few songs. During the month, I learned about local folk music.”

"I have focused on the zither song "Yaeryou" in Yuncheng, Shandong and the famous song "Wang Da Niang Filling the Tank" in Eastern Henan. In the song, there is another line, "When you see the injustice, let out a roar" which fully possesses strong Shandong characteristics. , like a shirtless, muscular Shandong man, holding a bowl of hot, rich and fragrant sorghum wine, rushing towards his face with a heroic spirit that is the only one between heaven and earth." Zhao Jiping said very excitedly .

"So I wrote this "Song of a Heroic Man" based on this song and this line, and asked Yi Ming to match the lyrics." Zhao Jiping handed over the score and lyrics, and then continued to explain to Shen Long, "A suona uses The high-pitched tones are interspersed, and each note is sonorous and mellow. This ingenious connection between the preceding and the following forms a natural transition between the two lyrics. Suona not only sets off the rough, reckless and resolute character of the heroes of the Song Dynasty, It also vividly expresses the regional characteristics of Shandong Dahan's straightforward loyalty, boldness and righteousness."

"Teacher Lei has held back the phrase 'when it's time to act' for many years, and now it can finally be used, and it goes well with 'shouting when you see the injustice'!" After a few words of praise for Zhao Jiping's creation, Shen Long pointed to the lyrics and said with a smile.

The lyrics of "Song of a Hero" were written by Yi Ming, but this sentence was written by his wife Lei Lei. In 1987, Lei Lei composed the song "Young Aspirations Don't Sorrow" for the TV series "Plainclothes Police". There is a saying, "Golden shields are forged with blood, and when it's time to act, act."

When this lyrics was taken for review, Teacher Gu Jianfen saw it. Teacher Gu had a higher level of thought and commented, "The people's police should take action when it's time to do so. It's worth it." A sentence of the lyrics was crossed out and changed to "Show your skills in times of crisis", so that it is more in line with the image of the people's police.

However, Lei Lei has always kept this line of lyrics in her heart. This time, when she saw the lyrics written by her husband for "Song of Heroes", she immediately felt that "shoot when it's time to shoot" might not be appropriate for the police, but It is extremely wonderful to use it on the hero of Liangshan, so after many years, this lyrics finally came in handy.

"It's a coincidence that I also planned to let Liu Huan sing this song, but the lyrics fell on him in the end!"

It seems that this line of lyrics was created for him.

"Liu Huan has a good voice, but he doesn't seem to have used opera singing much before. Can he sing well? Didn't someone suggest Xing Lin to sing it before? Perhaps this song is better sung by rock and roll?" Zhao Jiping was a little confused hesitate.

"Xing Lin's singing style has a bit of a bandit vibe. This style is indeed more suitable for rock songs, but our song is not rock music after all. Liu Huan is about to come. When he arrives, we will know by listening to it live. , He has learned drums before, and he is no stranger to opera." Shen Long is full of confidence in Liu Huan's singing, maybe this experience in the early years made this song possible? If he didn't have the experience of learning drums, maybe Liu Huan wouldn't be able to interpret "Song of Heroes" so perfectly.

Liu Huan arrived soon, and Zhao Jiping followed Shen Long into the recording studio with an attitude of giving it a try. After singing the first time, Zhao Jiping's slightly frowned brows relaxed. Liu Huan's performance was much better than he expected, but There was still a little deficiency, so he turned on the microphone and expressed his opinion, "Can you try adding some opera singing in the second pass?"

"Ms. Zhao, your opinion is very pertinent. I actually had this idea when I was singing just now. Wait a moment, let me brew it for a while." Liu Huan slightly closed his eyes, beat the time with his right hand, and hummed softly Listening to the tune, sometimes frowning, sometimes stretching, Shen Long and the others were not in a hurry, they just waited there quietly.

Not long after, Liu Huan finally opened his eyes, "I'm ready, let's do it again!" Then the familiar music immediately rang in Shen Long's ears, bringing him back to his childhood, "The river flows eastward! , the stars in the sky refer to the Big Dipper..."

"Definitely!" Zhao Jiping clapped his hands together, and choked out two words between his teeth.

"Yes, that's what I want!" Shen Long echoed, there was a thick soundproof glass between them and Liu Huan, so there was no need to worry that it would affect Liu Huan's performance.

Sound engineer Zhang Xiaojie trembled excitedly while correcting the sound, and kept muttering, "This song is going to go wrong!" It seemed that he was also shocked by this song.

The representative of the record company who came over after hearing the news agreed to be red-faced with excitement, "Director Feng, our album will become popular just because of this song, no, I have to discuss it with the leader when I go back. have to increase!"

The theme song in the early stage is considered good, and the later one is not a problem. The singer's singing skills are even better than Liu Huan, and he is also a Shandong fellow of the heroes of Liangshan, so he almost passed it once.

The theme song is ready, and the soundtrack is ready soon. Zhao Jiping has studied "Water Margin" carefully, and has been in Shandong for so long, so it is easy to compare it with the TV plot.

The production of special effects, editing, adding subtitles, opening titles and endings and other post-productions were also successfully completed under the promotion of Shen Long, and the entire film was produced soon.

After watching it, the leaders in the station hardly put forward any suggestions for revision, and arranged to broadcast it, "Xiao Feng, your director skills have improved again, and this film is much more complete than "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". In my opinion, this time our ratings can still be a big star!"

Soon, "Water Margin" was officially released, and Liu Huan's "Song of a Heroic Man" resounded in the streets and alleys all over the country.
