Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 140 Creating the Soundtrack, Kikujiro's Summer

"Today I watched the snow drift by in the cold night"

"Floating far away with a cooled heart"

"Chasing in the Storm"

"Indistinguishable in the fog"

Huang Jiaju's "Broad Sea and Sky" is playing on the radio in the car.

This song was just released in Hong Kong yesterday.

Under the shaping of Warner and Polygram Records, even though Huang Jiaju passed away, he still often appeared in the headlines of the media during this period.

With this kind of enthusiasm, once the album of this song was released, it immediately ushered in a terrible sales volume.

Moreover, in just one day, this song reached the top of Hong Kong's major music charts, and it was widely sung throughout Hong Kong.

"It's a pity!" Chen Qiming couldn't help sighing while listening to this song.

It is different from those other heavenly kings and queens in Hong Kong who are always keen to cover Japanese songs.

Although beyond has always belonged to the second tier in Hong Kong, the works of this band are really good.

From [-] to this year, almost every album of theirs has songs that Chen Qiming likes.

From "Earth" to "Really Love You", from "Glorious Years" to the current song "Broad Sea and Sky".

Whether it is from the conception of the songs or the degree of singing, these songs can be called first-class.

pity……

"Tsk! Look, you're on the cover of a magazine again!"

Li Xiaowen, who was sitting in the co-pilot, suddenly smiled and handed Chen Qiming a magazine.

"The most handsome monk in history - Chen Qiming."

The title is exaggerated.

The picture on the cover is the image of Chen Qiming's monk robe in white in "The Green Snake".

Because this image is very handsome, in recent days, his image has frequently appeared on the covers of some magazines.

Even, Chen Qiming heard that Fang Siyuan Films, the producer of Green Snake, released thousands of posters of stills, and they were all swept away by Chen Qiming's fans in just two days.

Regarding this, some media even used the word "crazy" to describe Chen Qiming's fans.

Because there has never been a situation in Hong Kong where such a movie has not been released, and the surrounding area has started to sell like crazy.

It is also because of this that all Hong Kong filmmakers once again saw Chen Qiming's terrifying popularity and influence.

And the result of this is that many film companies have submitted scripts to Fulong Company, wanting to invite Chen Qiming to star in their films.

For example, Yongsheng planned to ask Chen Qiming to partner with Jet Li.

In addition to Yongsheng, many other small companies also came to join in the fun, trying to catch up and see if they could invite Chen Qiming.

In addition to a lot of martial arts and action dramas, there are also comedies and other genres that Chen Qiming has not been involved in so far.

Even, even pornography was found by someone.

Well, maybe because his monk image is so attractive, a movie called Caodeng Monk approached him directly and wanted him to play the monk in it.

Regarding this, Chen Qiming was speechless, and directly asked Fulong to increase the film remuneration quotation.

Before, he only needed 100 million Hong Kong dollars to participate in the show, but now, with 200 million Hong Kong dollars less, don’t even come to talk to him.

Not to mention, the increase in chip count finally made him clean up to a certain extent.

Most of the small producers, after getting the news, hesitated and stopped asking him to act in movies.

Even some big productions stopped contacting him for the time being, and planned to see the box office of "Green Snake" and "New Love", which he officially filmed today, before deciding whether to invite Chen Qiming.

100 million Hong Kong dollars, which is considered by most film industry peers, is the most suitable offer for Chen Qiming.

There is no way, he is popular in the music world, but in the film world, to put it bluntly, he really has nothing to show for it.

Jacky Cheung has won the Best Supporting Actor, and his performance in the music industry is also good, and the current film funding is only more than 80.

Liming is also about the same price.

That is to say, Andy Lau's salary has reached 400 million by virtue of his previous films.

Now, Chen Qiming has no achievements at all. He wants to get a salary of 200 million based on his popularity in the music scene. This is not suitable for most film companies in Hong Kong.

Therefore, when he quoted 200 million Hong Kong dollars, most of the filmmakers retreated immediately.

However, this is what Chen Qiming is happy to see, allowing him to ignore other things for the time being and concentrate on shooting the two current movies.

……

Compared with the opening ceremony of "Green Snake", a large number of reporters were invited to interview, and the stills were released to the media from time to time for publicity. Shooting is in progress.

how to say!It's like being silent.

However, compared to "Green Snake", Chen Qiming still prefers "New Love".

Except because this movie is invested by myself, I have a lot of authority.

The biggest reason is that Chen Qiming filmed this movie very well.

The story of "New Love" tells the poignant love story between Ajie, a down-and-out musician played by Chen Qiming, and Amin, a terminally ill patient played by Anita Yuen.

In the movie, the musician Ajie played by Chen Qiming is a very different person.

He is talented, and he and his girlfriend Carina Lau are both engaged in music work.

However, it is different from his girlfriend who caters to the public, intentionally pleases the market, and creates many saliva songs.

Ajie is very stubborn. He insists that music needs to have his own thoughts, and he can't make saliva songs just to cater to the public.

Therefore, he has been stubbornly insisting on making some music that the public doesn't like.

The result of this is naturally that he is at odds with his peers, becoming an outlier in the circle, and being excluded by everyone.

Even his girlfriend, the character played by Carina Lau, doesn't understand him.

Just when everyone didn't understand, he met Amin played by Anita Yuen.

Amin understood him very well, the two of them chatted together, watched the stars together, and talked about music together.

But this happy life didn't last long, and Amin was terminally ill.

Although encouraged by the protagonist and neighbors, she actively treated her, but in the end, she passed away forever.

It's a cliche story.

But all the same, it's a touching story.

The hero and heroine in the story heal and redeem each other.

It is precisely because the story is touching that Chen Qiming acted happily.

He felt that his performance in this play definitely surpassed all his previous plays.

He perfectly interpreted Ajie's helplessness when faced with being excluded by his peers, and the grief when faced with his girlfriend's incomprehension.

"OK! Crack!"

Another scene ended, Er Dongsheng clapped his hands excitedly and called it over.

"Amin, if you can continue to maintain this state of performance, I can guarantee that you will definitely have a trophy for Best Actor in the Golden Statue Awards and even the Golden Horse Awards!"

Seeing Chen Qiming walking over, Er Dongsheng couldn't help boasting.

"I hope so!" Chen Qiming said with a smile as he tore off his messy long hair, revealing his bright head.

The role of Ajie is not bald, so when Chen Qiming plays, he will wear the wig prepared by the crew.

This wig is very long and messy, like a chicken coop.

It has the atmosphere of an artist, but also a feeling of slovenliness.

It is an important prop for Chen Qiming to portray the role of Ajie.

"Amin, do you think I need to add something at the end of the movie!"

Er Dongsheng said, paused for a moment, and continued: "I watched the MV of your song "Fairy Tale".

In fact, the story of your MV is very similar to mine.

I want to use this fairy tale of yours as an interlude, you say, if I film a short part of the protagonist after the heroine's death, how about creating this fairy tale? "

Hearing this, Chen Qiming couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

In his mind, "New Love" does not have this paragraph.

He didn't know whether it was appropriate to add such a paragraph. If it caused problems in the movie, then his investment...

However, he didn't refuse immediately, but planned to listen to what Er Dongsheng had to say.

"Go on!" Chen Qiming signaled him to continue.

"Originally, according to my idea, the ending of the movie was to be a pity, but the MV of your fairy tale reminded me.

Why don't we add a one-way happy ending to our regrets?

It is a great pity that the protagonist lost the heroine, but at the same time, he was redeemed and created a golden song. I think this ending should give movie fans some comfort when they are sad about the death of the heroine! "

Er Dongsheng became more and more excited as he talked, as if he saw the fans watching the ending.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming pondered for a while, then nodded, "You are the director, if you think this ending can be better, then I have no objection."

After a pause, Chen Qiming spoke again, ""Fairy Tale" is my previous song after all, it can be used as the theme song, but if it is used in a movie, I don't think it is very suitable.

I have a new song here, it's pure music, I think it can be used, are you interested in listening to it? "

Hearing this, Er Dongsheng was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing, "Yes! It is said that you are the most talented young man in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene in recent years. I also want to see the soundtrack you created for the movie!"

"I'll give it to you before the filming is over!"

Chen Qiming said.

"OK!"

……

In the following days, Chen Qiming entered a very busy working state.

In the morning, he may still be wearing a monk's uniform to catch monsters on the crew of "Green Snake", and in the afternoon, he will appear in the crew of "New Love" to fall in love with Yuan Anita.

Then, at night, he had to go to Warner Records to record again.

The accompaniment for his Japanese record has already come out and was sent to Hong Kong. After he finishes recording, he can do post-production and then shoot the MV.

Of course, there is also the soundtrack of "New Love".

This soundtrack is called "The Rain". According to the information in the dream, it should be the soundtrack of a movie called "Kikujiro's Summer" in Japan in the future.

Its melancholy tune is very suitable for use in the memory of the heroine when the heroine recalls the heroine after the heroine's death.

If according to what Er Dongsheng said, he really planned to shoot a few scenes where the protagonists created good songs.

Then this song is definitely suitable.

However, Chen Qiming's only regret is that this song has no words.

But if you think about it carefully, sometimes, music does not need to be expressed in words.

The song itself is a speaking existence.

Everyone who listens to it can hear different feelings from it.

This fits the idea of ​​music better.
