The great thing about music is that:

A lot of words require a lot of words to create, and even images may not be able to fully convey it, but music can easily do it.

For example, it can quickly bring you into a certain situation.

It's like an experience that everyone has - suddenly listening to a certain song, I feel as if I have returned to the atmosphere of the past.

Especially for a film and television work, the story itself and the performance are the most important, but a suitable soundtrack can also play a very important role in setting off and driving the effect.

Maybe N years later, the characters and plots in the play are all blurred in memory, but some of the theme songs are still in your playlist.

Therefore, director Wei Hengda has always been very picky about the soundtrack.

Although it is a low-budget film, the words "Huaying Media" represent a high level and cannot be perfunctory in every aspect.

After watching the sample video, Jiang Ye explained his thoughts on the creation of the theme song. Wei Heng listened carefully and showed rare approval.

After an in-depth communication between the three of them, Bai Ge said with great anticipation: "According to your understanding, the direction is right and it is what I want."

"I will make a sample as soon as possible." Jiang Ye's attitude was serious.

Although he was confident in his choice and Bai Ge did not mention any drafts, if someone in the production team is dissatisfied or there are other competitors, no work is completely irreplaceable.

…

Back in the courtyard, Jiang Ye dove into the studio, flipped through the plot outline, combined with the camera design, and went through a few songs one by one.

After repeated comparisons with the original music track of "Go Left, Go Right" in his previous life, he decided not to change his mind and quickly completed the lyrics and music.

The arrangement only uses simple guitar and piano, with a beautiful melody, bright style, and a little bit of melancholy. Based on the lyrics, they jointly describe a quiet artistic conception of love.

In line with the theme of the movie, it contains both realistic helplessness and courage and strength in the face of helplessness, evoking people's precious feelings of living with heart and longing for beauty.

The reason why this song became an absolute classic in its previous life is not only the work itself, but also the singer's interpretation.

While searching in his mind, Jiang Ye went online and listened to several popular female singers from this time and space.

Even if the voice cannot be copied, it should be grand enough, unique, and preferably scalable; not to mention subverting the original version, at least it should be able to interpret what the song conveys.

A few hours passed...

I'm even more tired than the last time I recorded "Miss You So Much" after listening to nearly a hundred channels on the sound card.

Jiang Ye stopped and drank a glass of ice water.

This is [Nine Songs] studio’s first order!

It was a business he was taking under special circumstances such as a ban, so he had to be as perfect as possible.

"You haven't found the right one yet?" Yao Xiao knocked on the door and came in, suggesting, "Would you like to ask Sister Man? There are so many bands performing there, and she might be able to recommend a few for us."

"yes!"

"Why am I so limited..."

Jiang Ye slapped his leg, his eyes suddenly lit up, he picked up his phone and sent the electronic version of the music score to someone.

…

The next afternoon.

An autumn rain and a cold.

Yu Feiwan smoothed her hair and appeared in front of the courtyard door holding a long-handled umbrella.

The olive green windbreaker has a sophisticated silhouette and makes her look very heroic. It is neither Hepburn's classic elegance nor the melancholic heroine of an art movie. She just exudes a free and easy spirit.

No, one sleeve was heavily wetted by the rain, and she didn't notice it at all.

Jiang Ye took a few steps and ran out to open the door: "How can you hold up this umbrella..."

"That's the good thing about the courtyard. It doesn't get wet when it rains." Yu Feiwan didn't answer and changed the subject to talk about the design of the verandah.

Last night Jiang Ye sent her the score of the theme song and asked her to come and audition today.

People who can sing opera do not necessarily know how to sing. Although there is a common impression that singing and opera singing are similar, in fact they are very different.

The essence lies in the difference in the vocal position, and the daily vocal training is also completely different.

Objectively speaking, learning to sing is much more difficult than singing. It requires the Qi to sink into the Dantian and be steady. There are big and small voices, and long-term breath pronunciation practice is required every day. The singing must be both performative and story-telling.

So Jiang Ye thought that Yu Feiwan's voice characteristics were very suitable for the style of this song; besides, her singing skills were solid and she could sing high and low with ease.

Pitch, technique, and emotional control should not be difficult problems for her.

Yao Xiao and Gu Chuan went out, and they were the only two people in the room. Jiang Ye poured a glass of water: "Moisten your throat."

"Thank you." Yu Feiwan took the water glass, took off his windbreaker and put it aside. Sitting next to the piano, he was a little nervous. He didn't want to show his timidity so he took a piece of candy in his mouth.

The news from Jiang Ye yesterday was so sudden that she couldn't fall asleep late at night.

First, I couldn't hold back a burst of unexpected ecstasy, because the last time I met her by chance at the theater, Jiang Ye didn't say clearly that he heard her singing "Yu Ji". He only praised her professional appearance, but he didn't expect that he was euphemistically affirming her singing skills.

Furthermore, after collaborating on a variety show, Yu Feiwan also imagined whether the two would still have intersection at work in the future.

At that time, Jiang Ye and Xia Xingzhu sang "Miss You So Much", and she even deliberately didn't read the comment section...

When she got this song, she was excited and liked it, but aside from the mindset she had formed since she was a child, this was also the first time she seriously considered whether she could sing by herself...

"Although it's a lyrical song, it doesn't need to be boxed in." Jiang Ye opened the sheet of music, told her about the story, and taught her some vocal techniques for singing.

Different singers have different singing methods. When singing, each person uses different vocal methods, high and low pitches, which creates the singer's unique singing characteristics.

Jiang Ye thought for a while and added: "You can try to imagine a certain scene in your mind, incorporate the feelings you want to express, and sing it according to your own understanding."

Yu Feiwan's eyes were burning, and he seemed to have a sense of transparency: "I understand, I like the sad but not sad feeling in the lyrics.

Lyricism does not necessarily mean being sad, it can also mean experiencing and suffering, but still persevering, willing to believe in the existence of beauty, and feeling more powerful inside.

I’ll try my best.”

Jiang Ye was slightly startled and nodded.

He was a little surprised and a little shocked by this answer.

Soft yet stubborn, candid and frank... If the souls are not connected at this moment, then either Yu Fei's mind-reading skills captured the essence at the party, or she must have perfect scores in reading comprehension when she was in school.

The two of them were so close that it was as if their breaths were touching each other, and Jiang Ye could smell the sweetness from the melted candy in her mouth.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Ye opened the piano cover and said, "Try singing it once, and I will practice with you."

"Okay." Yu Feiwan put down the songbook, stood up and relaxed.

The clear sound of the piano sounded.

Ten seconds of prelude——

"Hearing the departure of winter

I woke up in a certain month of a certain year

I think, I wait, I look forward to

The future cannot be arranged accordingly

…”

In her previous life, Stefanie Sun performed the song "Meet" almost perfectly, which has become a youthful memory for countless people.

Just after Yu Feiwan sang the first verse, Jiang Ye felt that she was more talented in singing than in opera.

At the end of the song, except for some minor flaws and some technical singing techniques that needed to be adjusted, the elasticity of the voice, the explosiveness of emotion, and the expressiveness all exceeded his expectations.

Yu Feiwan looked at Jiang Ye steadily, as if waiting for the teacher's comment.

Jiang Ye smiled brightly: "I will sing this song for you. I really chose the right person."

PS: I posted this song on a special day, thank you very much.

My favorite author once said that I have read a lot but writing one is more exciting. Instead of following a group of gangsters to Chile, it is better to stay alone in Paris and write a novel. This is a greater adventure.

Starting with this mentality, I also want to continue seriously.

Thank you for all your tolerance, encouragement and suggestions. I wish I can make up for the debt I owe to the leader as soon as possible (clenched fist.jpg

The easter egg chapter is also available before, and the online playlist will be later.
