superstar director

Chapter 434 Wukong
Li Gang didn't know how he got out of the record company, and he was still dizzy while walking on the street.

He remembered very clearly that Huaxia's king-level musician Ning Cheng was the main interviewer, and the other two interview teachers didn't like the adaptation of Qin opera that he went out of his way, but Ning Sheng liked it very much.

After Qin Opera, Ning Sheng asked him if he knew how to sing other operas, and then sang the centralized opera genres, Huangmei Opera, Peking Opera, Yue Opera, and then Ning Sheng decided on the spot, representing the company to sign him.

As long as he goes to Huijie Records to formally sign the contract tomorrow morning!
After wasting half his life, he originally just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that good luck would come suddenly. He could see clearly that what Ning Cheng liked was not only his voice, but also his combination of opera and pop music. Sitting on the square, I watched a street singer not far away who was holding a guitar and singing loudly, but through the eyes of that person, I seemed to see myself standing on the stage, shocked by the new way of pop music and opera The audience, parents will definitely come to watch his performance then!

Although the vocal teacher who was the interviewer with Ning Cheng didn't understand Ning Sheng's decision, Mr. Zheng entrusted the matter to Ning Sheng, so the next day after Li Gang signed his newcomer contract, Ning Sheng Immediately pulled him to the recording studio, and then directly handed him the lyrics and music of "Wukong", let him familiarize himself with it first, practice first, and then Ning Sheng sat and watched.

This time, Ning Cheng didn't directly instruct Li Gang on how to rehearse the new song. He let Li Gang think about it a little bit by himself. Although it took more time, Ning Cheng felt it was worth it, because after a day, Li Gang had finished the song "Wukong" The singing is almost the same as the finished product in Ning Sheng's mind.

Li Gang is different from ordinary singers. He is a creative singer, and he has a good understanding of professional knowledge, opera and pop music. Although his previous works are too rough, especially the combination of opera and pop music is too much It was abrupt, but what surprised Ning Cheng the most was that Li Gang was already trying to interpret pop music with opera singing in his own new song creation.

Therefore, Ning Sheng is unwilling to overthrow the seedlings, hoping that the company can cultivate a musician with self-creation ability.

In the afternoon, Li Gang, who had been singing in the recording studio for a day, came out. Ning Sheng said, "You have worked hard today and rehearsed well, but the relationship is still a bit raw. This is the original novel of the movie. Go back and read it, and then look for emotions. Up to three days, I hope you can record a work that satisfies us all!"

Ning Sheng handed the novel "The Legend of Wukong" to Li Gang, then got up and left, and went home for dinner.

Li Gang took "Wukong Biography" and read it seriously. From the record company to the bus, from the bus to his home, he could hardly take his eyes off the book. He was deeply attracted by him, as if he was the monkey in the book. Looking at it, the song "Wukong Biography" that he had rehearsed for a day in the daytime could not help but sound in his mind. The words and music seemed to automatically echo in his mind, accompanying him in the In the story, incarnate as that monkey, fighting and fighting!

Li Gang stayed up all night, immersed in the tragic and desolate stories in the novel, but the songs in his mind seemed to make him incarnate as a monkey, roaring and fighting at the gods and Buddhas all over the sky.

The next day, when Ning Sheng yawned and staggered to Huijie Records' company, he was about to enter his No. [-] recording studio when he saw Li Gang next to him with a pair of panda eyes and a haggard face. As if waiting for him.

"I re-recorded it again, please listen to it again." Li Gang said cautiously to Ning Cheng, the big boss of the company.

Ning Cheng nodded, and while walking towards the recording studio arranged for him, he said, "It looks like you haven't slept all night, have you?"

Looking at Li Gang, he nodded embarrassingly and said, "The novel is so good, I read it a bit late, but it's okay, I think after reading the novel, it will be very helpful for me to understand the song of "Wukong" at this time."

Ning Cheng nodded and said, "That's good, but you just need to pay attention to rest. After a while, you should go back and have a rest. If the person's condition is not good, how can the song be recorded well?"

Li Gang didn't dare to refute, and nodded honestly.

However, after listening to Li Gang's recording in the morning, Ning Cheng couldn't help but nodded and said, "Perfect! You have performed this song to the fullest. Okay, let someone send it to Mr. Zheng. Li Gang, go back and rest quickly." , when you rest well, the company will give you a short-term training, and then you can try to write songs, work hard, and strive for the first album to be a big hit!"

"Thank you, I will work hard!" Li Gang nodded excitedly.

It can be said that Ning Sheng's "Wukong" not only made him a masterpiece as soon as he entered the company, but more importantly, Ning Sheng opened a door for him that he hadn't been looking for for a long time. Ideas, not only new inspirations, but also revision ideas for some old works, he feels that he is getting closer and closer to the opportunity to realize his dreams!

After Ning Sheng dealt with the theme song "Wukong", he went back to his recording studio to record the song. Director Yun Da and others for the theme song of "The Legend of Wukong" were getting impatient, but several companies He was dissatisfied with the work he sent, which made the film companies a little annoyed.

The film's largest investor and producer, Jinbei Film and Television, has already told Director Yun that if the theme song cannot be selected before this weekend, then the work of the theme song will be decided by Jinbei Film and Television, and the director does not need to worry about it.

Although Director Yun didn't want the flaws in the theme song to affect the movie he carefully produced, he couldn't refute what the producer said. After all, it's impossible for a movie to wait for a song all the time, delaying the promotion and release. arrange.

At night, Director Yun was distracted, took a few mouthfuls, threw down his lunch box, and went back to his room to continue listening to the new theme songs that the record company sent.

A sound effect like the passing of stars sounded, and then a soft prelude to the music sounded. Director Yun looked up at the file name being played in bewilderment - "Wukong", and couldn't help curling his lips. The name is really good. It is similar to his " "Wukong Biography" is only one word short, but it's a pity that just listening to the prelude, Yun Dao didn't feel it.

Most of the songs I listened to before had the feeling of intense explosion, and even many of them were rock songs, even if they were classical songs, they were sung as if they were shouting rock and roll, but they were just plain boring. The desired theme song is still far away.

Just as Yun Dao's thoughts were racing, the song was slowly advancing.

The moon splashes the galaxy, the long road is long,
The wind and smoke are exhausted, and the shadow is fading;
Who told me to be extraordinary,
Who makes me love-hate dilemma,
Later, the liver and intestines were broken.

The fantasy world is empty, the grievances are over,

Give up enlightenment and confusion, the six dusts will not change--
"Huh——" Listening to the ancient lyrics in the quiet accompaniment, Director Yun seemed to fit his movie quite well.

And angry and sad and mad,

Humans, ghosts or monsters,
However, there is a demonic debt in the heart.

Call a Buddha, turn back without shore,

Just as Director Yun was savoring the feeling in the lyrics, the sudden "Buddha" made him shiver, and then a gust of cold air rushed from the tailbone along the spine to the top of the head, and a burst of cold air flew all over the body. Feeling shocked like a bludgeon.

Kneeling one person as a teacher, life and death have nothing to do;

The real and false realms of the floating world of good and evil,
The dust is scattered and gathered indistinctly,
Hard to break!

What do I want this iron rod for,

What if I have this change;

Still uneasy, still anxious,
The golden hoop is on the head, and if you want to talk, you will stop.

I want this iron rod drunk dancer,

I have this change and confusion;

Trample the Ling Xiao, be reckless and reckless,
The evil ways of the world are dangerous, and there is no escape after all.

This stick will blow you away——
At the end of the song, Director Yun closed his eyes, unwilling to open them for a long time, as if he was still reminiscing about the soaring unruliness and tragedy in the song!

Whether it's the astonishment of "Buddha" or the domineering arrogance of "breaking the sky, wanton and unruly", they are all the emotional focus in "Wukong Biography". The helpless and desolate swan song in "The Legend of Wukong" will never change until death, and will not bow to death!
Director Yun clicked on "Wukong" again, and saw that the singer Ji turned out to be a singer named Li Gang who had never heard of it before, but when he saw the songwriter, he had a feeling in his heart that it was so.

Director Yun is no stranger to Ning Sheng, a legend in the music industry. In fact, he and Ning Sheng met and chatted a few times at some awards ceremonies. Of course, it was at the film awards ceremonies that Ning Sheng attended as a director. .

He has seen Ning Sheng's ability to shoot movies before, and his ability to write songs is still deep in his memory today!

Soon, everyone knew that the theme song of Director Yun's "Wukong Biography" had been confirmed, and the company that won the bid was somewhat unexpected, but it was reasonable, especially after learning that the author of the lyrics and music was Ning Sheng. No one disagrees.

However, the singer of this song turned out to be a newcomer who had just signed with Huijie Records, and many people couldn't help complaining with sour water.

"Why doesn't Ning Cheng write me a song? Is it because he's not the protagonist?"

"Drink too much upstairs. Ning Cheng actually wrote a song for a newcomer. Obviously, that guy named Li is the protagonist just now!"

"The upstairs is all wrong. That Li Gang was chosen by Huijie Records through a temporary singer selection. That is to say, there are songs, and there will be singers later. It can only be said that Ning Cheng is too good at writing songs. Student Li Gang has good luck in his life!"

"Fart—brother, as one of the students who participated in the selection, I personally experienced the scene of Ning Cheng's interview and selection, and even asked to sing pop music with opera singing. Everyone, we failed hundreds of people while participating in the selection. Li Gang can get Ning Cheng the most! Great God Sheng favors it, there is no need to doubt that student Li Gang must be an expert in opera!"

"Opera can also be used? Then I play cotton. When will God Ning Cheng need it? My younger brother's ancestral cotton-playing skills are at the full level!"

"Speaking of the tenth-level talent of Dagu, I beg God Ning Cheng to give me a song!"

"Allegretto is super god, you can be alone, in pairs, or in a group, just ask for one song, and you will definitely live up to Ning Cheng's expectations!"

"The successor of Sanxian—"

After a while, things went wrong, but everyone was looking forward to Ning Sheng's songwriting ability, especially Ning Sheng's combination of opera and pop music, which made many people itch.

However, this is not enough. After all, no matter how good everyone said, it is impossible for everyone to imagine how good the song will be without hearing it.

As a result, the theme song of "The Legend of Wukong" was edited by Director Yun, and in conjunction with the promotion of the distribution company, it soon met with everyone on various media platforms.

Unruly monkeys, affectionate monkeys, violent monkeys, sad monkeys, painful monkeys, this is the original novel in three parts, this is a movie with monkey stories as the main body, along with the song "Wukong" The prelude like a silent starry sky, the lyrics accompany the pictures of monkeys, even those who have not read the novel "Wukong Biography" can see that this monkey is different from the original Journey to the West.

And those who have read the original novel, watching this theme song at this time, is almost like watching a wonderful movie. The music is accompanied by the lyrics, and the lyrics are accompanied by the picture. In this song, in the movie screen There is not a single line, only a few roars of monkeys with different emotions, the pair of compelling eyes, and the frightening scene.

In the final song, the monkey "smashes Ling Xiao, unbridled and unrestrained", waving the Ruyi fine cudgel, which is feared by both gods and demons, and smashed it on the Jade Emperor's Ling Xiao Palace. The sentence "This stick will blow you into ashes—" is like a zoomed-out lens, scattered in the clouds, flying in the starry sky, and engraved into everyone's heart!

Director Yun sat in the office, even though he edited the MV himself, when he watched it again, he still felt his heart trembling and his blood burning, "This is what I want!"

Not only Director Yun, but all crew members, including those from the investors, were full of praise for this MV, and the media, under the public relations of the film and television company's publisher, began to report this song and "Wukong Biography" faster than netizens. The theme song of the same name, and at the same time, use this theme song to promote the summer release of the movie "Wukong Biography".

"The song "Wukong" made everyone re-acquainted with the well-known Sun Dasheng. In the past, we were always envious of the great sage's magical powers and spells, and he was free, but now, we admire the majesty's arrogance and reverence. The sage is unrestrained and flamboyant, never bowing his head!" --- Huaxia Film News.

""Wukong" is the theme song of "The Legend of Wukong". It can be said that this is the most similar theme song I have heard in more than ten years, and the theme song that fits the theme of the movie itself, and even the theme song and the movie itself are one. Only one is expressed with music, and the other is expressed with images, and in the final analysis, what is shown is the majestic stick!" --- Huaxia Entertainment Weekly.

"Ning Sheng wrote the lyrics and composed the music by himself. The song "Wukong" sang the whole life of the monkey in "The Story of Wukong". Unyielding and struggle against heaven and earth!" --- China Music Times.
