The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 30 Internal Entertainment, Here I Come
At 2000 o'clock in the evening on June 6, 28, it had just rained in Yanjing, and it was refreshing and cool.

In a recording studio called "Far Country" next to Tsinghua University, Li Shengyao met two talented musicians.

These two people are Lu Gengwu and Li Jian of the future Shuimunianhua combination.

Lu Gengwu's appearance was somewhat unsatisfactory, and his facial features were not good enough.

Li Jian was pretty and handsome, just like a nobleman.

At this time, Shuimunianhua had not yet been established, and Lu Gengwu and Li Jian just got together to play music.

Li Shengyao can hum the opening and ending songs of "Love Hotel", but he can't sing.

He needs someone to fill in the lyrics and sing them.

He rushed to Yanjing from Shanghai and started looking for someone, cheap ones, as long as they can sing, Guo Xiaodong happened to know Lu Lijian, so he introduced him to Li Shengyao.

He had a very good impression of Shuimunianhua, the first concert he heard in his previous life was from this group.

At that time, China Mobile was engaged in activities, as long as it was a college student who had run the M-Zone, he could go in and listen to music with his mobile phone and student ID.

Li Jian and Lu Gengwu naturally saw Li Shengyao, and they were secretly surprised that the director was so young, but they didn't say much, they just took jobs to make money.

"You two, I'll hum. You listen to the song, write the lyrics for me, and then sing it out and record it. The two songs cost 2 yuan, and the copyright belongs to me. Is there any problem?"

Lu Gengwu was a little excited. They usually sang in bars, but they didn't have so much money.

Li Jian was more cautious, "Are there any requirements for quality?"

"Just pass it by, don't make the lyrics too white."

The theme song of the Korean version of "Love Hotel" is called "The Day We Met", which was sung by Bae Yong Joon.

Just find anyone, as long as they don't have a male voice, they can sing.

The ending song is called "For Love", the rhythm is faster, more joyful, and it's not difficult.

For Li Jian and the others, it should be within reach.

"For Love" is completely just to make up the number, this song does not have a high sense of presence in the TV series.

Although the tune of "The Day We Met" is gentle, the tune of this song fits the temperament of the show very well. When the protagonist is emotionally ups and downs, this song is often accompanied by it.

The overall song is gentle and soothing, and it sounds ordinary at first glance, but after getting used to it, there will be a feeling that the meaning is still unfinished and has a long meaning.

Li Jian and Lu Gengwu looked at each other when they heard the words, then nodded in agreement.

"Okay, here are two contracts, sign them."

After a while, the two parties each got a contract. Li Shengyao was not shy, and then he hummed "um...um...um".

Both Li Jian and Lu Gengwu were able to compose. The two wrote the music scores based on Li Shengyao's humming. They were so fast that they completed the scores of the two songs in 10 minutes without paying attention.

"I'll give you three days to write the lyrics and record the sound. I've already paid for the recording studio. You can use these three days."

He doesn't understand music theory, and he doesn't know what instruments are used in the two songs. This is for Li Jian and Lu Gengwu to consider. Anyway, he doesn't expect these two songs to make money, as long as it fits the mood of the TV series.

After the words fell, Li Shengyao wanted to leave.

Li Jian chased him out, "Director, can we chat?"

Li Shengyao was a little surprised, he is very busy now.

Here I have explained the recording of the theme song, and I have to go to the dubbing room of Beijing Film Studio to watch the dubbing of the actors and the splicing of subtitles in the later stage.

But he liked Li Jian very much, so he stopped, "What's the matter?"

"Director, how did you come up with those two songs just now?"

Li Jian has long been engaged in writing, but it is extremely difficult to create original songs.

For the two songs just now, the level of "For Love" is average, but "The Day We Met" should be at an upper-middle level.

He was very curious, how could this young director hum such a tune?

He obviously doesn't understand music theory, and he doesn't know anything about music.

Li Shengyao smiled, "When filming, I came up with it occasionally."

He was actually a fan of Jay Chow in his previous life, he was a KTV Maiba level, and Li Shengyao could sing most of Lao Zhou's songs.

But he doesn't plan to take the route of a singer, nor does he plan to take the route of a composer.

Besides, he has a lower limit than Charlotte, so he doesn't copy Lao Zhou's song and let him live.

This time "Love Hotel" was an accident. That summer was so impressive that he remembered these two songs.

The only Korean drama theme song he can copy in the future is "Dae Jang Geum".

Li Jian nodded, he wanted to see how other people composed music, "Director, if you have such an opportunity in the future, call us, and we will definitely help you sing well."

"Row."

Li Shengyao then left.

Li Jian went back to the recording engineer and saw that Lu Gengwu had started to write lyrics. When he took a closer look, the writing was very white.

"Don't write like this, people say don't be too white, write better."

"Why are you so serious about 1 yuan?"

Lu Gengwu was excited just now, but now that he has signed the contract, he feels that ten thousand is not high.

Li Jian rolled his eyes at Lu Gengwu, "This is the theme song of a TV series, maybe it will become popular, let's be serious."

"Hey, what kind of TV series can a 20-year-old director make?"

Lu Gengwu looked around, and said with a low voice: "I heard from my friend that his TV series was edited in three days, and the editors at Shanghai Film Studio laughed to death. It's too fast. I'll watch it." , Eighty to ninety percent of them are collected by him, and he can’t sell them at all.”

Li Jian was taken aback, then looked at the score in his hand, "It's not like, these two songs are not high-quality, but they are passable. I think Director Li is a very serious person."

Lu Gengwu glanced at the music score in his hand, and was also puzzled.

Those two songs are really good.

He rolled his eyes, "Old Li, I think we may be at a disadvantage."

"How to say?"

"If this drama can really be broadcast on TV, this song "The Day We Met" might become popular. The copyright does not belong to us, and we don't even have the right to sing, so it won't be a disadvantage."

"It's okay," Li Jian felt that Lu Gengwu was a little greedy, taking money to do things, and still thinking about making an inch.

"Let's write the lyrics well. If we write well, maybe Director Li will be willing to let us sing at a lower price."

When Lu Gengwu thought of this, he felt it was beneficial, so he became more serious.

The two of them then wrote the lyrics and played the guitar and piano at the same time. In one day, they wrote two lyrics and the soundtrack of the song.

The next two people spent two days singing and recording.

On the third night, after Li Jian and Lu Gengwu finished singing "The Day We Met Me", there was bursts of applause outside, and the two turned around to see that it was Li Shengyao.

"You two, you sing really well."

Li Jian and Lu Gengwu were also somewhat proud.

Lu Gengwu then said: "Director, the two of us haven't been lazy these few days. We only slept for three or four hours these days. Look, I have dark circles under my eyes."

Li Shengyao smiled, but didn't answer. Lu Gengwu said so, naturally there is something to say, otherwise there is no need to be miserable.

"Director, the two of us really like "The Day We Met". If we want to sing in the future, can it be cheaper?"

Li Jian was flustered, but he also liked the song, so he quietly looked at Li Shengyao with anticipation in his eyes.

Li Shengyao took the score and saw the lyrics on it, he found that the writing was quite artistic.

These two are really serious about their work.

He is a person with the idea of ​​mutual benefit and win-win, you help me, I help you, it is convenient for people and me, and it is convenient for me and others.

He nodded, "Okay, when the two of you sing this song, I'll give you a [-]% discount."

Lu Gengwu and Li Jian were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Li Shengyao.

"Is it recorded? I'm going to take it away."

"OK OK."

Li Shengyao smiled, picked up the tape, listened to it carefully, and nodded after making sure there was no problem.

"Very good. I hope to have the opportunity to continue working together in the future. Goodbye, both of you."

Li Shengyao pushed open the door of the recording studio, a bustling image came towards him, and the lively voices filled his ears. This is Yanjing, the capital of this ancient and powerful country.

He smiled lightly and strode out.

Neiyu, here I come.
