Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 243 My song knows what you did in the dark

"oh oh oh oh oh oh"

……

"Be-Be careful making wishes in the dark, dark be careful making wishes in the dark
Can't be sure when they've hit their mark

And besides in the mean, mean time I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart

I'm in the deep details with the devil
......"

In the recording studio, a passionate voice came from it.

Standing outside the recording room, Jackie Chan and Tang Jili listened to the singing inside, and couldn't help but glance at each other.

"What do you think?" Jackie Chan asked.

"Passionate, passionate!"

Tang Jili's eyes lit up, "Chen Qiming is indeed the most talented musician in the Chinese music scene. With the first draft we gave him, he actually created a song that fits the movie very well!"

After a pause, he continued: "In the script I gave him earlier, I mentioned the need for a passionate song for promotion in Europe and the United States, and a song that reflects the protagonist's lonely hero and breaking into the enemy's den alone.

Obviously, Chen Qiming created based on this.

If you put this song in the position where you play Ma Hanqiang bravely rushing into the mafia to rescue the hostages, it will definitely make your character's lonely heroic temperament to a higher level. "

The movie plot of "Red Fan District" is actually very simple.

The plot is roughly as follows:

Hong Kong policeman Ma Hanqiang (played by Jackie Chan) came to New York, USA to attend the wedding of his uncle Ma Biao (played by Tung Piao).

Uncle Biao once opened a supermarket with Ma Hanqiang's father and father in New York, but now he is going to sell it cheaply because he cannot bear the harassment of gangsters.

Ma Hanqiang, who didn't know the truth, warmly received the buyers and sold the supermarket to Ms. Yi Ling (played by Anita Mui), which opened the door of right and wrong.

After Yiling's supermarket opened, she was often harassed by Tony and a group of homeless people from the red zone of New York. run gangsters.

One night, Han Qiang heard a girl calling for help, Xun Sheng rushed to help, but was caught in the trap of Tony and his gang, and was beaten all over his body.

Danny, a neighbor with a disabled child, found out and called his sister Nancy (played by Ye Fanghua) to bandage Jackie Chan's wound.

In fact, Nancy was the girl who had just pretended to call for help.

Ma Hanqiang and Danny became good friends, and Nancy gradually fell in love with this Chinese boy.

But in an accidental fight between the mafia and gangsters, Danny's seat became the target of attention of the mafia and the police because Tony and his gang hid stolen goods.

Later, Tony and his group who harassed Yiling repented under the lessons of Han Qiang's fist and reason.

Han Qiang cooperates with the New York police to go deep into the mafia's lair and rescue the hostages Nancy and Danny.

This is a very standard Jackie Chan heroism movie.

Many people think that the kind of movies in which the protagonist defeats the villain alone, and the protagonist's aura is so high that he can't beat him to death first came from Europe and the United States.

In fact, this is not necessarily the case.

Since the 80s, Hong Kong movies have already started to go this way.

Those few Bruce Lee movies that sold well at the international box office, or Shaw Brothers’ old-school martial arts action movies, and even the protagonists of martial arts novels such as Jin Yong and Gu Long, actually have serious heroism in them.

Throughout the history of Hong Kong film, basically every blockbuster movie has the main character defeating countless villains by himself.

Among them, Jackie Chan's movies have strong heroism in them.

Especially the Police Story series.

In this whole series of movies, although the aura of some protagonists has been weakened, the heroism of the protagonist is carried out throughout the movie.

The movie "Red Fan District" is no exception.

The protagonist Ma Hanqiang in the movie fights wits and courage with American gangsters alone, rescues hostages, and fights villains, all of which fully embody the characteristics of a lonely hero.

Therefore, after hearing Chen Qiming's passionate singing in the recording studio, Tang Jili immediately made up his mind to use this song as the English theme song.

Not only him, but also Jackie Chan next to him.

He glanced at Chen Qiming who was singing passionately with the accompaniment in the recording studio, and said:

"I also think it's very suitable. Moreover, Chen Qiming is now very popular in the American music scene. His participation in singing will definitely bring great help to our film."

As he said that, a look of regret appeared on his face, "Unfortunately, this guy is too popular and has too much work, otherwise I really want him to play an important supporting role in the movie, and even let him play as much as I do!"

Hearing this, Tang Jili couldn't help looking at Jackie Chan in surprise.

Let Jackie Chan step aside!
In Hong Kong, and even in the entire Chinese film industry, I am afraid that only Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao can make him take the initiative to give up the position of absolute protagonist.

Others, Andy Lau, Liming and even Jackie Chan's brother-in-law Jacky Cheung, do not have this qualification.

Now, Jackie Chan is actually willing to give up the position of the absolute protagonist for Chen Qiming, which shows the importance of Chen Qiming in Jackie Chan's place now.

At this time, Chen Qiming finished singing the song and walked out of the recording studio.

"Two, how is the song? Are you satisfied?"

Today is September [-]th.

After three consecutive days of busy work, Chen Qiming finally produced the English theme song accompaniment for the movie Golden Harvest needed yesterday.

As soon as the song accompaniment was produced, Chen Qiming contacted Jiahe and asked them to come over to listen to the accompaniment and confirm whether he wanted the song.

As soon as they heard that most of the song had been produced, Golden Harvest immediately contacted Jackie Chan and Tang Jili, the director of "Red Fan District", and asked them to send someone to check and accept it.

As a result, after Jackie Chan and Tang Jili received the news, they rushed back from the filming scene in Canada overnight.

After listening to the accompaniment, after knowing that Chen Qiming planned to record today, he proposed to observe it on the spot.

So, there was something about the two of them waiting outside while listening to Chen Qiming's recording.

"The domineering side leaks! I can already imagine the scene of Ma Hanqiang bravely breaking into the gangster's lair and fighting fiercely with the gangsters under this music!"

Facing Chen Qiming's question, Tang Jili directly gave a thumbs up and said.

"Very satisfied! It will definitely bring our film to a higher level!" Jackie Chan also said with a smile.

At the end, he tilted his head and asked, "What's the name of the song? I didn't pay much attention to the name of the song before!"

"The name is a line in the song, "My song knows what you did in the dark"!"

Smiling, Chen Qiming responded.

He had expected the reactions of Jackie Chan and Tang Jili.

If even this song is not in line with Golden Harvest's so-called passion, then even if Chen Qiming has other songs, he will definitely not come up with them again.

Because, if even this song is not qualified, then Golden Harvest is 100% making things difficult on purpose.

In this case, why should he continue to play with them, no matter whether it is Jackie Chan's face or not, he will directly reject this theme song invitation.
