What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 323 Get a Golden Lion and Come Back
After dinner, everyone talked about song creation. After dinner, Yang Shu and sister Tao talked about the episode of "Peach".

He had told Sister Tao before that he would write a new song for the two duets and use it in the movie.

The song has already been written, but it is more difficult to sing. During this period of filming, you have to start practicing. You can't wait until later to find time to practice alone. Once you get busy, it is not easy to arrange time.

Dinner was eaten with assistants and staff, and eight people sat around a table.

Talking about song creation, a girl asked Yang Shu an old-fashioned question without a standard answer.

"Director Yang, your song writing is really good, but there are really not many creative singers in mainland China, the level is generally not high, and most of them are short-lived, and few can create stably for a long time.

On the contrary, Wanwan has become the center of the Chinese music scene since the 70s. Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng, Qi Qin, Zhang Yusheng, Xiao Chong, etc. who can write and sing were born on a small island... Until now, Jay Chou is still the center of the music scene. As a benchmark, we have not yet reached the influence of the heyday of the other side, why is this so? "

Related discussions have been going on for a long time, and different people have led the topic in different directions.

Yang Shu asked back, "What do you think is the problem?"

"Educate, our education is too rigid and lacks an atmosphere of free thought."

"But it was not open there in the 70s. Lao Jiang had an iron fist, and even the school uniforms were similar to military uniforms."

In order to avoid the little girl talking nonsense, Yang Shu first gave a reminder: "The songs over there are basically popular. From the 70s to the 90s, most of them are campus folk songs and love as the theme, and they don't have much deep ideological connotation."

Someone interjected: "That's not all about pop culture. When we started pop culture, we also started from school folk songs, imitating the same path, such as "You at the Same Table" and "Brother Sleeping on My Upper Bunk". "

Yang Shu expressed his opinion: "Actually, the reason is very simple. It was taught in middle school that the economic base determines the superstructure.

In the 70s, Wanwan, as one of the four Asian tigers, took off economically, and the rise of pop culture was an inevitable result, not to mention that there was a wave of music development in the world at that time.

The booming economy has created a thirst for culture, and the strong market demand is naturally profitable. Some people with musical talents will frantically tap their talents and write good works desperately.

This is a market, and everything is driven by interests. Talking about feelings is going too far.

To put it more clearly, it is not because the people there are more talented and free-spirited, but because their economy took off earlier and they were full earlier.

Singing is something that you have to eat to be in the mood. If you are rich, you will naturally be admired by others. After listening to songs for a long time, you will naturally become classics. People’s preferences can be shaped. Pop culture is a culture of snobbery, and whoever gains power will follow. Who. "

"Then we now have demand and gain momentum. Why haven't a large number of talents emerged? Could it be that there is a problem with the market mechanism?"

"It's because the entire market has changed. The music market is not as easy to make money as before, and it is much more difficult to get ahead.

For example, the Chinese music market from the 70s to the 90s was actually monopolized by a few companies.

Make stars and release records, one record has more than a dozen songs, and if a song becomes popular, people will become popular. The resources are very concentrated, and the business model is more similar to the current production of traffic stars.

Now no one releases records, the songs are all released on the Internet one by one, and more songs are released in one day than in the previous year. It is naturally more difficult to get ahead without resources. "

Sister Tao also said: "So you will find that the singers in everyone's impression are those who became famous 20 years ago, and now they are all singers. Unless these people become popular first through various channels, no company is willing to package them. .”

In fact, the same is true in the film and television industry. Now the cost of winning a first-line star is many times higher than that of 20 years ago.

That's the end of the topic, let's talk about the old faces in the film and music circles, and it's hard for newcomers to make their debut.

After the meal, everyone left, and Yang Shu and Sister Tao stood in the balcony garden for a while.

It was quite cold in early spring, and I returned to the living room within 2 minutes after the breeze blew.

Yang Shu showed Sister Tao the new song written silently.

This song was a new song in his first life, it was heavyweight and of good quality, its original name was "Madame Butterfly".

Many people know that the opera "Madama Butterfly" is a great lyrical tragedy by Puccini. It is a story set in Japan. committed suicide.

The original song "Madame Butterfly" has nothing to do with opera, but it is also a song about breaking up. Yang Shu changed the name to the simpler "Butterfly".

The original singer of this song is the same singer as "Stars and Seas". Coincidentally, the lyrics, composition and producer have the same name as Sister Tao.

Butterfly has a special meaning in culture. In ancient times, the homonym of butterfly and "blessing" of blessing symbolized good fortune and auspiciousness. Nowadays, butterfly and blessing are not distinguished in many areas, at least in Fujian and Guangdong.

Therefore, the double flying of colorful butterflies is often used in wedding ornaments, and it is a wish for the bride and groom to grow old together.

This can also understand why Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai turned into short-lived butterflies instead of 8-year-old tortoises, because butterflies symbolize the wonderful and true love between life and death.

The title of the song matches the theme of the movie. Love is beautiful but short-lived. Since life and death fall in love, it must be death in the end.

"Although Taozi has experienced four relationships, the love between her and the students is actually the most sincere and passionate, so after the students were released from prison, they played the game of disappearing, which hit her so hard that she lived in seclusion for several years before she recovered."

Sister Tao looked at the lyrics and understood the meaning of Yang Shu: "At this time, Taozi gradually regained the confidence to live a new life, reflected on this relationship, and forgave."

"Yes, this song was sung duet in her fantasy while she was gradually figuring it out."

"I understand that Taozi was in a trance in the last few years. This is a fantasy song. She forgave the betrayal, and even forgave the world's indifference to her, and her life began to change for the better."

Unexpectedly, she was beaten to death by the icy stream the next day.

Yang Shu took Sister Tao and started humming softly.

"I still don't understand, about your leaving, sleeping in the cold sea, I can't let go.

I have been relying on you for a long time, and I have been separated thousands of miles away, only to find that there is a piece of emptiness in my heart.

You are a butterfly that blows up the wind, don't care about me, the weightless fallen leaves, if you leave me, will you be better, better..."

"I want to bid farewell to the sun and moon that only exist in my dreams. How do I write this poem? Before the pen is written, there is a world without you.

You are the butterfly that takes away the day and night, don't be sorry, my weightless period, can you be better without me. "

This song has a very high pitch, and Sister Tao sang softly with great devotion, tears streaming down her face unconsciously.

She quickly wiped away her tears: "It seems too cruel to die after singing this song."

Yang Shu planned to put his arms around his shoulders to comfort him, but he was worried that his hair would be unstoppable.

He said something that was not relevant, but it also explained why such a cruel plot was arranged.

"I plan to participate in this year's Venice Film Festival to see if I can bring back a golden lion."
