Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 28: Collaboration confirmed, independent album!
"Li Can, you really gave me a difficult problem."

After entering the office, Director Ma shook his head and laughed.

"I'm sorry, Director Ma, I..."

"It's not about Luo Zhongwen."

Disdain was visibly written all over Director Ma's face.

"It doesn't matter if you beat him up. He's going to get beaten up sooner or later."

"I really beat him up." Li Can scratched his head embarrassedly. "But I didn't hit him hard."

"Forget it, let's not talk about him. I get annoyed when I mention him. If he's not injured, then he's fine."

Director Ma waved his hand impatiently and his expression changed at the speed of light, from cloudy to sunny in an instant.

"I mean, every song you sent me is good, but it's hard to choose, and they have great development value, which adds extra work."

Recalling the excitement at that time, Director Ma praised with emotion.

"The attributes of the song "Lovesickness" are really great. The melody is memorable, the trend is not clichéd, the arrangement is very fresh, and most importantly, it has both connotation and depth!"

"It's a pity that it would be a waste if this song was only used as a theme song. I want to use it as a character song, so that it will be more popular and more valuable."

"So, I plan to talk to you about some related things in detail."

Hearing this, Li Can did not feel disappointed, but nodded with interest.

"Well, Director Ma, I understand what you mean."

The song "Lovesickness" has a strong empathy ability, and the melody line is excellent and memorable.

Once it is combined with the character image and part of the plot, and presented in a way that penetrates people's hearts, it will greatly enhance the excitement of the story.

For example, the theme motive without lyrics can be re-edited as BGM and rendered multiple times in conjunction with the plot.

Then wait until the key plot comes, and then come up with a complete version to awaken the memories that have been subtly rendered.

To praise the audience is to cut it with a knife.

There is a high probability of creating a famous scene.

《XX's Ditty》

Instead, it is used as a theme song only for promotion, which is a great waste of the song's artistic value.

Therefore, Director Ma wanted to further develop the emotional value of the film and even wanted to make some fine-tuning to the editing.

"As for the theme song, I feel that 'Annual Rings' is better, but I am a little confused. This song is also suitable for the role song, especially the line. 'Densely packed is my self-esteem', hiss! Great!"

As he spoke, Director Ma turned on his computer.

Start praising.

Very satisfied with every piece of music.

Li Can seized this opportunity very quickly and spoke immediately.

"Director Ma, I have an idea, I don't know if it will work."

"Tell me something."

Director Ma was very interested.

"If it's the song you choose, we can use it. You can also make other requests and add some more suitable songs."

Li Can smiled slightly.

"Personally, I hope to create an album with the same name as the TV series, and use the popularity of the TV series to promote it. At the same time, we will also promote our own singers accordingly, and when promoting the album, it will also bring a certain degree of popularity to the TV series."

"Huh?" Director Ma was slightly stunned.

Albums with the same name as a TV series, or original soundtracks, are actually very common.

Everyone gets what they need, and there is no need to pay anything extra.

Li Can only needs to pay for the right to use, and then take advantage of the popularity of the TV series.

The crew can also get the songs for free, and later on they can use music as a more convenient means of communication to attract more potential audiences.

Then they each started making money in their own field.

After all, film and television dramas and music are two different tracks. Not only will they not infringe on each other's interests, but they can complement each other.

If we can combine the two, a qualitative change will occur.

In this case, the effect achieved will be quite gratifying.

This deal is well worth doing!
Thinking of this, Director Ma nodded decisively.

"No problem, I can finalize this myself!"

Changing the subject, Director Ma stared at Li Can and spoke seriously.

"However, we have high requirements for quality and singers' abilities. You can sign the reservation now, but you have to check carefully and make the finished tracks as soon as possible. If there are no problems, you can sign the contract immediately." "No problem, our progress is very fast, and the production of the finished tracks will not be slow, about three or four days?"

Director Ma's eyes lit up when he heard Li Can's words.

"Oh? So fast, can you guarantee the quality?"

"Yes, the singer is very talented, and the recording will be in the next few days." Li Can smiled and nodded. "Director Ma, you have also heard it. The music I sent you is the finished master tape. It's just that the person recording it has changed now."

"That would be great."

Director Ma raised his eyebrows, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he said, "Then I'll speed up. There happens to be an early interactive marketing event in a week. We didn't plan to release trailers or promotional videos. We only planned to release the final poster and some shooting footage. If we can make it in time, we can also release an advance trailer. Anyway, there's no such thing as too much, and it's not troublesome to do."

At this point, Director Ma glanced at Li Can with interest.

"Would you like to come and participate in the event? I can introduce you to some people in the circle!"

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation." Li Can smiled, stood up and extended his hand.

Ma Shuliang grabbed it, laughed, and they both nodded.

"Happy cooperation!"

Li Can was very happy after the cooperation intention was confirmed.

There is a bright future ahead for subsequent promotion and development.

Get in the car and rush back to the studio.

The next step is to complete the work as quickly as possible and seize the opportunity of this interactive marketing campaign.

However, Li Can did not notice that just after the car turned a corner, on the street not far away, there was a person missing him in a business car.

"Hiss! It really hurts."

Luo Zhongwen sat in the car and applied medicine on his forehead with the help of his assistant.

That headbutt was very lethal and the area is now red and swollen.

"Who is that guy? Why is Director Ma so biased towards him?!"

Thinking of the handsome young man who was 1.9 meters tall, Luo Zhongwen gritted his teeth.

I always hit others, when is it my turn to be hit?!

"Brother Luo, I'll ask around when I get back." The assistant put away the cotton swab. "But don't worry too much. If he's famous or has a background, we can't possibly not know about him. He can't have been abroad before! Maybe he's a relative of Director Ma?"

"Too."

Luo Zhongwen curled his lips. Although he was still unhappy, he did not continue to be hysterical.

Director Ma’s pressure is still strong enough, and the recent period is quite critical, so we really can’t let anything too big happen.

"He and I are not from the same world."

He pouted, unwilling to think about it anymore.

Empty your mind and put what happened today out of your head.

Luo Zhongwen took a few deep breaths and turned to ask his assistant.

“What’s next?”

"The latest work is in a week. The crew of Xianxia will have an interactive marketing event for the industry and media reporters. Brother Luo needs you to take your makeup and attend, show some behind-the-scenes footage to the media to warm up the atmosphere."

"Okay, let's prepare in advance."

Luo Zhongwen was silent for a moment.

"I don't want to encounter such unhappy things again!"

　The content is explained and does not occupy the main text.

　　Music is a form of emotional expression over time. Unlike painting, it requires a certain amount of time to express itself. In music creation, "repetition" is an important means to emphasize emotions and deepen memory.

　　Similar to repetition is structural repetition, the "presentation-development-reappearance" approach in the scope of classical music, or some techniques in composition structure, such as "imitation", "canon", "reflection".

　　However, repeatedly exaggerating emotional base points will reduce patience.

　　But this foundation must be laid.

　　So how can we maximize the emotional appeal of music?
　　That is the fusion of art. Music is time, and picture is space, so it is a combination of time and space.

　　Under the description of the language of the lens, the discomfort caused by the repetition of music will be much alleviated, and instead, the repeated melody will invisibly deepen the memory point.

　　In reality, it means "bringing out the sound", or "appearing on stage carrying a speaker", "a man with his own BGM", etc. These are all new experiences that are different from simple vision and hearing after the BGM emphasizes the picture.

　　The prelude and chorus of "Lovesickness" are so recognizable that in "The Sequel to Journey to the West", there are also many similar "wordless melody" BGMs to exaggerate the plot. According to my personal identification, there are at least 5 different versions of "Lovesickness" instrumental music in the whole drama. For example, the interlude "Lovesickness Butterfly Shadow" is a variation of "Lovesickness".

　　In other words, this song is not just a song, its aesthetics lies in its silent penetration into the plot.
