Chapter 805 "As-Long-as-You-Love-Me"!
Winter to spring.

In a blink of an eye, the time has entered March of 2023.

Just one month after the Spring Festival, the whole world has returned to a busy working state.

Filming in Hollywood is easy. Zhou Ke took two months off to film "Mulan".

And Li Zhifan's role in "Mulan" has also been filmed in the second half of last year. In this movie, Li Zhifan is a big supporting role, and the total shooting time does not exceed 100 hours.

So this participation is not worth mentioning to him. The only point that can be mentioned is that it is his first time to cooperate with Zhou Ke in a role.

The most taboo thing in Hollywood is filming, an actor running around in multiple crews.

But this taboo has no effect on Li Zhifan, because he can stagger the time very well, and no matter which group he is in, he will face it with the strongest mental state.

In "Avatar", Li Zhifan, as the leading actor, plays an extremely important role, but in the eyes of everyone in every department, every position, and everyone in the crew, Li Zhifan's scenes are the best, because he always plays Pass.

And there is a stalk buried in "Avatar".

In the original version, the story takes place in 2154, and the protagonist Jack Sully is a former marine with paralyzed legs. He feels that there is nothing worth fighting for him, so he hates the mining company sent to the planet Pandora.

In this version, the story still takes place in 2154, but the protagonist's name is Li Jie. He is still paralyzed in both legs, but has become a former member of the international special forces "Wolf Warriors".

The symbol "Wolf Warrior" is also associated with "Avatar", so in the eyes of the audience who have watched "Wolf Warrior", it seems to be a series.

At the end of March, the pre-shooting of "Avatar" was all over, and it officially entered the post-stage.

However, this is the most difficult part, because "Avatar" is a thorough special effects movie, and the post-production special effects need to spend a long time, constantly debugging, and constantly grinding, to make the final film.

Li Zhifan was indeed arrogant at the beginning, thinking that "Avatar" could be produced in a year, but after he actually entered the production, he would find that this time was too short, even for a person as capable as him. It is impossible to solve all the problems by one person.

In addition, the cooperation of the team is also a big problem. Although the tacit understanding is getting higher and higher, everyone is engaged in art. As long as Li Zhifan lets them discuss it, it will definitely take a long time to discuss it. It is the commander-in-chief, and everyone listens to even wrong instructions.

Everyone is very good at obeying orders, and no one will jump out to refute after his decision is made.

The post-production is boring, and the working time of the whole crew is only eight hours, and the rest is rest after eight hours.

But Li Zhifan is a person who can't take time off, even if he spends a lot of time at home with his children, he still has a lot of free time, so Li Zhifan can only find some fun by himself.

What fun are you having?

Making music, of course.

The film music for "Avatar" has been produced, and life without music is withered for Li Zhifan.

So he left the film crew and returned home every day, and when he was with his children, he began to tinker with new music works.

Since I am in the United States, and I have released an English EP before, it is better to make a big one this time, and release an official English album before the release of "Avatar" and "Zootopia", so as to build up Li Zhifan's popularity. heat.

Songs are made one by one, and Li Zhifan doesn't care how long it takes, as long as ten songs are made before the movie is finished, he will release an album.

The first song that has been made so far is called "As-Long-as-You-Love-Me".

The song was originally sung by the Backstreet Boys, and "As-Long-as-You-Love-Me" is not only one of the representative works of the Backstreet Boys, but also one of its most popular songs, not only in Europe and America, but also in another China in the world also has a very high degree of familiarity. Almost every post-80s and 90s will hum the tune of this song. As for whether they can sing it, that is a matter of language.

In addition, there are still many Chinese who remember the phrase "As-Long-as (as long as)" because of this song, which can be said to have played an indelible role in learning and memorizing English for some people.

Li Zhifan made this song simply because the melody is nice.

In fact, as far as the lyrics are concerned, in the American music scene, they are the lyrics of saliva songs, but Li Zhifan didn't make any changes. Perhaps in this regard, the original version is also good.

In the arrangement, Li Zhifan added electronic music, which is equivalent to a remix song.

The electronic music starts from the prelude and joins when the main song starts, and the music does not mean to speed up.

This is also the highest standard that Li Zhifan can make music by himself. If he is given an excellent music team, maybe he can create more sparks and add more elements.

"Little Tudou, how about Dad singing to you?"

This morning, Li Zhifan finished the last program of the accompaniment of "As-Long-as-You-Love-Me" and compressed it into a regular music format, and immediately ran to Little Tudou to sing to him.

"&%#@%..."

Little Tudou said a lot of baby talk, but Li Zhifan couldn't understand anyway.

"Okay, listen up!"

Then, Li Zhifan turned on the music accompaniment on his mobile phone, and hummed along softly.

Little Tudou was playing with his car, and he didn't seem to have any feeling for this type of song. Even if Li Zhifan added electronic music, it didn't sound so dynamic to his ears.

After being with him for nearly a year, Li Zhifan also figured out Little Tudou's preferences and rules. If it was the music he liked, he would shake his feet along with it, but if it was not the music he liked, he would not move at all.

"Oh! You don't like it?"

Li Zhifan was slightly disappointed, "Then what kind of music do you like?"

As he spoke, Li Zhifan flicked back and forth on his phone, looking for some popular music for him to listen to.

Li Zhifan likes to listen to electronic music styles, but he played a few songs, except for those with a slightly heavier rhythm, Little Tudou didn't like them.

Just when he accidentally slipped to a piece of rock-style music, Little Tudou suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Li Zhifan's arm, and then his whole small body began to sway, and at the same time, he laughed happily.

"Huh? You like rock and roll?"

Li Zhifan is happy, just find the elements he likes, and asked immediately, "How about Dad making a rock-style music?"

"Hehehe, cluck, blah blah!"

Anyway, Little Tudou couldn't speak, he could only laugh. As for whether he could understand Li Zhifan's words, it was unknown.

"Okay! Then Dad will start researching!"

After Li Zhifan finished speaking, he didn't run to the computer, but directly picked up Little Cherry and sang him some English rock songs that he remembered so far.

"How about this one? Don't you like it?"

"Huh? You're really picky. You don't even like Michael Jackson's songs?"

"Forget it, you don't know who MJ is!"

"What about this one?"

"I don't like it either!"

"This one, I'll sing it to you..."

At this time, my mother came back from outside with Little Cherry.

"Dad! Dad! You're home!"

As soon as Little Cherry came in, she yelled, "Oh, the teacher taught us how to draw today."

Li Zhifan put his arms around Little Cherry, let her sit on his lap, and said, "Really? Then what did you draw?"

"Hee hee!" With a mysterious expression on her face, Little Cherry broke free from Li Zhifan, ran to her schoolbag, found a piece of paper from inside, and then walked over mysteriously, "Dad, guess what!"

"what?"

Li Zhifan smiled and said, "How could I guess that."

"Dang Dang Dang Dang!"

Little Cherry took out the painting and put it in front of Li Zhifan, "It's Peppa Pig!"

"Wow! Peppa Pig?"

Li Zhifan couldn't help being surprised, "Does your teacher know the secret of Peppa Pig?"

"do not know!"

Little Cherry shook her head vigorously, and then said, "But there is a teacher who knows, but she is not our painting teacher."

"Oh!"

Li Zhifan praised Little Cherry's painting for a long time, and then asked Little Tudou to applaud her sister.

At this moment, Little Cherry was overjoyed, like a little star at home, she straightened her back and enjoyed everyone's praise and encouragement.

"Come on, Little Cherry, Dad will sing you a song, listen to it, does it sound good!"

Li Zhifan planned to use the same routine to try on Little Cherry.

But Little Cherry is not at the age of Little Tudou. She doesn't understand anything and can't speak, so she directly asked, "Dad, is that the song you've been playing these days?"

"Huh? Did you hear that?"

Li Zhifan was surprised, although he didn't know when Little Cherry heard about it, but he didn't shy away from his family during the production process.

"That's right! I heard a passage, it's very nice."

"How about Dad singing the whole song to you now?"

"Yeah!"

So amidst the applause of Little Cherry, Li Zhifan turned on the music on his phone again and sang the song "As-Long-as-You-Love-Me".

As soon as the prelude sounded, Little Cherry shouted: "It sounds good, it sounds good!"

Li Zhifan was extremely moved, and thought to himself: "It's still my daughter who is caring, really giving my father face."

"Although-loneliness-has-always-been-a-friend-of-mine!" (Loneliness has always been my friend)

"I'm-leaving-my-life-in-your-hands!" (Since you left my life)

"..."

Li Zhifan sang loudly, Little Cherry shook her head and cooperated very well, just like a little fan.

After Li Zhifan finished singing, Little Cherry applauded again, and stood up and jumped up and down: "It sounds so good, it sounds so good, dad, you are so amazing!"

"Haha, do you want to learn it? Do you want to learn what Dad taught you!"

"Yes I do!"

Little Cherry immediately agreed, but she suddenly became suspicious, "My brother, why doesn't he like this song?"

"He...he likes rock and roll!"

When Li Zhifan said it, he made a grinning expression, pretended to hold a guitar in his hand, and shouted: "Rock!"

"oh oh!"

Little Cherry didn't know much about it. It was still difficult for her. In her consciousness, she might know that this kind of music existed, but she couldn't name it exactly.

……

The next day, Li Zhifan came to DreamWorks. Before everyone came, he ran to the recording room by himself, took up 10 minutes, and finished recording this song.

This speed is so fast, if those employees know it, they will definitely be speechless.

When he got home that day, Li Zhifan turned to preparing for the rock music that Little Tudou likes.

The production method of rock music is completely different from "As-Long-as-You-Love-Me". Li Zhifan can only make a demo first, and then find musicians to complete the arrangement and soundtrack work. Of course, a computer can also handle it , but there are many instruments that Li Zhifan can't reach the level of proficiency for the time being, and if he uses the effector, it will appear too low.

In terms of song selection, Li Zhifan thought about it from the beginning, but he made two choices.

One is "Numb" and the other is "In-The-End".

Both songs are the most classic songs of Linkin Park, evenly matched.

But in detail, "Numb" is more representative and hotter.

Li Zhifan agrees that the reason why he likes "In-The-End" is the lyrics of this song.

The lyrics reveal a feeling of powerlessness. There are too many things in the world that cannot be done well by ordinary people who work hard.

Constantly giving up too much that should not be given up easily, persisting too much that is not worth persisting, youth gradually passes in this kind of cycle, and then life has experienced enough success, failure and vicissitudes, at this time youth is no longer, Time goes by, and I realize I'm just a drop in the ocean, and I'm forced to rethink my life.

The shocks of failure in exams, lovelorn, unemployment, etc. have become indifferent and no longer important, as if life is just a process of repeatedly creating and telling stories. Sooner or later, we will become someone else's story.

As the lyrics of the chorus part write:

"You used to be my last trust and hope, so I never shrink back and go forward. You only need to know about all this. Once I went forward without hesitation and persisted to the end. In the end, it was nothing!!!"

"Later, I gradually became relieved of my physical and mental sinking."

"As a result, everything is meaningless!"

The lyrics are very pessimistic. Although Li Zhifan is not a pessimistic person, he likes lyrics that describe a mood or a state very appropriately.

And it reminded him of the story of "The Three-Body Problem". Human beings have been working hard to protect their homeland and the earth from being wiped out by the Three-Body Problem, but they failed!
Similarly, there is also "Avatar". For the sake of wealth and greed, human beings please skip the planet Pandora. Under the greed of this environment, many people are really adventurous and embark on the journey without hesitation. Occupy the Pandora planet and win the final victory, but, of course, there is no egg!

The ultimate mystery of the song "In-The-End", only three words: Ran and eggs!
Like a piece of raw steak, it is determined to cultivate itself into a living cow that can walk, eat grass, and live in the best cowshed.

The reality is that the steak is fried on one side and then turned over to fry the other side. One side is I-tried-so-hard, one side is I-had-to-fall, and in the end it is still It-doesn't-even-matter. Jiao Linen.

"I-tried-so-hard!" (I tried so hard)
"I-had-to-fall!" (had to fall)
"It-doesn't-even-matter!"
