Chapter 319 [The magic of genius brain]
"Melancholy" is a very classic pure music song in the parallel world. It was produced by whitecherry and released through Yinshang Rhythm on April 2, 2018. If Yang Jian had not copied it, it would have been more than 20 years before the song came out.
This piece of music is simple and magical, with only a short section that repeats over and over again. Many people say that when they are in a very happy mood, they listen to it, and the more they listen to it, the happier they become; when they listen to it when they are sad, the more they listen to it, the more depressed they become.
This song is perfect as the background music of "Fifty First Dates" and fits the mood of the hero and heroine very well. When the two fall in love, Henry will be depressed because Lucy can't remember him, and Lucy will be depressed because she is dragging Henry down.
.
"Can you play it again?" Barrymore asked.
"Of course." Yang Jian played again.
The rhythm of the song can be fine-tuned, and this time he played it more smoothly than before. His guitar is very advanced and the tone is very good.
Barrymore was a little intoxicated and sighed: "Let's use this in the movie. It turns out that you are not only good at sports and acting, but you are also so good at music. You also have too many talents, right? You can also cook. I have never
I’ve heard of someone as well-rounded as you.”
"This is the magic of a genius's brain." Yang Jian shrugged and smiled: "I will definitely know more and more things in the future, and I will learn other knowledge when I have time."
There is no way to pretend, he is a genius, certified by the black technology system.
Barrymore asked: "Was it also very easy when you went to Harvard?"
Yang Jian nodded. "Well, it was so easy that I don't know how I passed the exam. There are many people in China discussing this matter, and some people asked me to teach them learning methods. I don't know what to say."
Whenever I close my eyes or open them, I love being at Harvard. Who can I pass on this experience to?
Barrymore asked: "What are the other two versions you're talking about?"
"The second version is a piano version of pure music. The third version is a bit more complicated to record with several instruments. There are no lyrics. I need you to hum a section."
Yang Jian played the guitar again, and this time he hummed a verse as a demonstration. Barrymore followed and tried it, and the female voice would feel much better. She didn't need to have good singing skills, as long as she hummed softly.
In this way, it changes from pure music to humming, which gives people a very healing feeling.
"What's the piano version like?" Barrymore felt like he had found a magical boyfriend who could do anything.
"The piano version was played to make people feel lonely, and was used when the two broke up in the rain. The humming version was played when the two were on the boat after getting married, and the ending song was "Wouldn't It Benice"."
In the movie, the two even sang "Wouldn'titbenice" a cappella, which was very unpleasant and was a joke.
"I have a hunch that your original music will be a hit." Barrymore kissed Yang Jian and said excitedly.
When she talked to Yang Jian on the phone, she was thinking about how to persuade Yang Jian to use other songs without embarrassing him. She had a premonition that the song would be terrible, but it turned out to be the best among the best.
This song will definitely add points to the movie, not only the quality of the music is super high. Yang Jian's original performance and Barrymore's "singing", the gimmick alone can attract a lot of attention.
Early the next morning, Barrymore and Yang Jian went to record together and hired a professional accompanist according to Yang Jian's request.
Yang Jian was able to complete the first two versions by himself. His guitar and piano playing reached a professional level, and the music was very simple. The recording of the third version took a longer time. In addition to guitar and piano, there were also drums and
Female voice.
It was a little troublesome for them to cooperate, mainly because they couldn't achieve the best results. After trying for two hours, Barrymore was tired of humming, and then Yang Jian felt that it was very similar to the song in his memory, so he called it a day.
In the afternoon, they went to see director Jon Favreau and edited the recorded music into the movie.
Yang Jian watched the edited movie for the first time. The actors were changed, some details and lines were different, but the overall structure was the same as the original version he watched in his previous life. The content of the story was relatively simple, there was no double-line narrative, and it was easy to edit.
.
Favreau is extremely talented as a director, and he also has a sense of humor and knows how to make interesting shots. A bad director would have the cameraman take a close-up of the protagonist's face, but Favreau didn't do that. He shot a lot of scenes from different angles,
Slow motion is also used appropriately to reflect the character's mood.
North American audiences are definitely not as accepting of Chinese male protagonists as white male protagonists, even if Yang Jian is famous enough that people can ignore his nationality to a certain extent. Favreau maximized Yang Jian's advantages during filming, including his facial features
Close-ups were only taken when necessary. He took many full-body close-ups of Yang Jian.
The crew of "Friends" did this before, asking Yang Jian to show off his figure every chance he got. He wanted to show off his muscles and long legs, and his figure was definitely at the level of a male god.
After adding "melancholy" as BGM for three important scenes, the movie immediately rose to a new level.
The guitar version expresses Henry's melancholy. When Lucy asks him if he loves her, his affectionate confession is set to music.
Here he was both excited and a little melancholy. Because he knew that no matter how touching his confession was, Lucy would forget what he said when she woke up the next day.
In the piano version, what everyone hears is that the relationship between the male and female protagonists has gone through hardships, fear, sadness, excitement, etc. They decided to break up amidst disappointment again and again, and the road ahead gradually became blurred, and in the end only peace was left.
The movie edited scenes of the two of them tossing and turning in their respective homes. When the piano music ended, it happened to be when Lucy fell asleep on the bed. Watching this scene gave people goosebumps all over their bodies, and it was more melancholy than the first version.
At the end of the movie, Lucy woke up in the cabin and saw the videotape. When she walked out of the cabin, the BGM started playing again. This time it was accompanied by drums and humming, and the feeling changed again. When Lucy held her daughter, who had no memory,
, the music expresses happiness and melancholy.
She was a little excited and a little scared, but when she looked at her husband Henry and her daughter, there were tears in her smile. This feeling of happiness was expressed through humming, which was the finishing touch.
Favreau was stunned, and then said excitedly: "Where did you buy this song? If the Beach Boys song is worth 1 million, I feel that this BGM is worth at least 2 million. Is the budget exceeded?"
Barrymore proudly pointed at Yang Jian and said, "This is his original song. I recorded the female vocals in the morning. He played the guitar and piano in the first two sections."
"Volt?" Favreau's eyes widened from Happy to Tony Stark.
Yang Jian introduced the creative idea and said that the copyright had been registered. After confirming that it was correct, Favreau smiled like Michael Fassbender and wanted to stage Finding Nemo.
Friends all hope that Yang Jian will be as strong as possible, so that they can hug her more comfortably, and there will be many good things waiting for them in the future.
"It's done, this version can be released directly." Barrymore said excitedly: "It's the first time I've made a movie, and it's so successful that I can't believe it. This is my second favorite after "E.T."
Movie."
Favreau laughed: "I have a feeling that the global box office of this movie will exceed 100 million US dollars."
"Be bold, I think it's more than 100 million. Jordan's "Space Jam" has 230 million worldwide." Yang Jian said with a smile.
Favreau admired his ambition and couldn't laugh or cry. "Brother, the production cost of that movie was 80 million US dollars, and there are cartoon characters to attract children. Our investment in this movie is only 15 million, so don't argue with Jordan on this matter."
.”
"That's right, I just need to beat Jordan on the basketball court." Yang Jian said this, but in her heart she still hoped that the box office would be as high as possible.
Barrymore's ability to make a lot of money is only one aspect. The key is that he wants to prove his acting skills and box office appeal. As long as he does something, he must do his best with all his heart. This is his habit.
Barrymore asked: "Supersonics talent game, you can come to the party with us tomorrow. Jane has told you about this, right?"
"Yeah, it's just the three of us going together, won't there be any big news?" Yang Jian asked.
"Reporters can't enter this kind of private party, and celebrities won't spread the word about it casually. This is an unspoken rule in Hollywood."
"Okay, let's go together."
Chapter completed!
