Chapter 105 Theme Song Outsourcing (for Subscription)
The music of "Dragon Fighter" is relatively unpopular.

Especially the opening theme song "STEP" and the ending theme song "Hot Adventure" of the first season, I believe many people have never heard of it.

Don't believe it!
In fact, Dragon Fighter is the first two seasons of the "Majin Heroes" series of animations. Many people have never even watched the animations, let alone OP and ED.

The "Dragon Fighter", which has been watched the most by domestic audiences and has the highest awareness, is actually "The Legend of the Super Demon Heroes" translated by Liao Yi in 03.

This is the third work in the series!
Everyone is familiar with the two opening songs "ひとつのハートで" and "POWER OF DREAM", which are also the two OP songs of "Super Demon Heroes".

so……

The OP and ED songs of the first animation should only be heard by a small number of people in China.

Among them, Gu Miao was not included.

The "Dragon Fighter" he watched when he was a child is also the third work in the series translated by Liao Yi.It was only after many years that the first two seasons of animation were supplemented through the Internet.

As for the OP and ED songs?

Because it's all in Japanese, he just dialed the progress bar and skipped it. Wouldn't someone really follow up and watch the OP and ED of each episode patiently?
That is too idle!
I can't remember the original music melody, plus the animation needs to be localized, OP and ED music, of course, have to be fully "Chinese".

Therefore, Gu Miao chose the most "easy" method for the opening and ending songs of the animation "Dragon Fighter".

Outsource!

Just spend some money, hire a music team, and create two original songs that meet the requirements according to the "plot" and "personal design" requirements of this work.

It is equivalent to spending money to "customize".

In the animation industry, this kind of "spending money to buy songs" operation is too common.

no way!
Even giants in the animation industry such as Disney, Toei, and Pixar are unlikely to spend huge sums of money to support a music team for the opening and ending songs, right?

Oh...it's possible!
After all, these big companies still have money, and it doesn’t matter if they have a professional music team, as long as they don’t need money, it’s over.

But generally speaking...

The animation company can handle animation episodes, cutscene music and ambient music by itself.But the opening and ending songs are basically outsourced to professional music teams.

Prices vary!

For a better team, the quotation must be ridiculously high, but the corresponding song quality is also guaranteed.The quotation is cheap for a team that is not close, but the quality of the songs is uncertain...

It may be missed, but the high probability is horrible.

Gu Miao didn't intend to "digging for gold in shit".

What he was looking for was a music team that charged very expensive but had a good reputation and specialized in customizing theme songs for animation works.

"I want to burn!"

Gu Miao gestured with both hands: "The blood is surging, the feeling of a passionate teenager, do you understand?"

I know you banana stick hammer!
The composer surnamed Su who was in charge of the project said with a numb expression: "This is too abstract, Mr. Gu, can you be more specific?"

Make sense.

Although Party A's father is difficult to serve, but this is the first time he has seen Party A's father as abstract as Mr. Gu.

People say it directly, I want the lyrics to contain XX elements, I want a fast/slow song, I want to add a little folk/rap/rock/lyrical, I also want Cantonese/Mandarin/English blah blah blah blah...

Mr. Gu is fine, the request is just one word!

Burn!
It sounds like this Party A is better served than those chattering Party A?After all, the word "burning" covers a wide range, and he can display his talents at will.

But experience told Xiaosu.

The simpler the requirements of Party A, the more difficult it is to meet the needs.In the end, I don't know how many brain cells I have to burn to get his approval.

And those requirements sound a lot harsh, but the scope of composition has been "delineated" by Party A, but it is the easiest to meet.

"Xiao Su, can you do it?"

Gu Miao frowned and said, "You can't even satisfy such a simple demand? How dare you call yourself a gold medal composer?"

"My my..."

Xiao Su said with an embarrassed smile: "My professional ability is indeed a bit poor, I'm sorry Mr. Gu, I made you laugh."

"fine!"

They all sincerely admitted their mistakes. Gu Miao-sama has a lot of people, so she naturally wouldn't argue with him. She waved her hand and said, "Then I will describe it more specifically..."

Burning is a must!
At the same time, because the animation is called "Dragon Fighter" and the Ryujin runs through the whole play, the lyrics must include important elements such as "Dragon God" and "Chuangjieshan".

On the music side...

Gu Miao thought about it, and felt that the most important thing for an anime theme song must be "to the point", that is, it fits the content of the animation.

You can't have a festive melody like "dong dong dong dong dong" in a "dark and sad" work, right?That's too inconsistent.

The theme of Dragon Fighter is clear.

It is a fantasy adventure in a different world, full of funny elements, and the core is "saving the world".Therefore, the arrangement idea can be roughly summarized in one sentence:

A group of energetic young people embark on the road to save the world amidst laughter and laughter!

"OK!"

Xiao Su nodded, took a note to write down this point, and then asked: "Should the tune be more relaxed, or more serious?"

"Take it easy!"

Gu Miao thought for a while, then added.

Compared with other anime savior characters who "suffer and hate deeply", Xiaodu is undoubtedly a very optimistic person.

The animation is actually quite funny.

Whether it's Takeichiro Kenbe with a "hippo face" or the cute Ninbe Firemiko, they can all be counted as "pistachio" characters.

With such a funny style of painting, of course the theme song can't be made too "serious and solemn". It sounds like mourning and music, and that would ruin the atmosphere too much.

"Okay, I remember."

After confirming that there was nothing missing, the composer surnamed Su turned around and left Wanbao to start composing lyrics and music.

May it be worth the money!

After seeing off the guest, Gu Miao said with a little distress: "It costs 20 yuan just to compose the music, and that's not counting the money for writing lyrics and singing. How dare they ask for the price?"

"well enough."

Huang Kun, who came to report on his work, thought about it: "I don't know much about the market situation of composing and writing lyrics, but I heard that this music studio cooperates with many film and television companies."

"I know that."

Gu Miao said angrily: "What I mean is, even though they are very popular and famous...but this is Jiang Chuan!"

Really don't give Gu someone face?

The name "Gu Miao" is in Jiangchuan. I dare not say that everyone knows it. It has some social status, right?
When he went out to make a bowl of noodles, the store had to give him a [-]% discount. The last time he took a taxi, the driver didn't dare to charge him.

Just ask...

He Gu so-and-so, when did he suffer this kind of grievance?Don't ask for free, can't you just give a [-]% discount to save face?
