Chapter 286
Behind him, Chen Muen was silent for a while, and said, "Who do you think it is?"

"You can't say that nonsense,"

Liao Yuan smiled, returned to the desk, sat down and took a sip of coffee, then continued to pick up the tablet, opened the mailbox and read it.

One of the emails was from the famous director Zhang Yichi.

The last time he filmed "Han Wu Da Di", Liao Yuan wrote "Exodus from the Western Regions", which was widely acclaimed. At the awards ceremony of the National Drama Festival at the beginning of the year, "Han Wu Da Di" became the top ten influential TV dramas of the year without accident One, Zhang Yichi also delivered an acceptance speech at that time, especially thanking Liao Yuan for his "Out of the Western Regions".

Having tasted the sweetness, Zhang Yichi found Liao Yuan again in a brand endorsement business event not long ago.

After "The Great Emperor of Han Wu", Director Zhang rested for half a year before launching "The Great Emperor Kangxi" again. After five months, he finally finished filming the whole drama, and everything was ready, except for the final theme song.

This is Zhang Yichi specially vacating it, he firmly believes that Liao Yuan can write the soundtrack that best suits this drama.

At that time, Liao Yuan didn't agree immediately, but only verbally said that he would consider it.

And today, Zhang Yichi sent over the main plot of "Emperor Kangxi", which mainly tells the life of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, with as many as 52 episodes in the whole drama.

Regarding the theme song, Director Zhang didn't have too many demands, and left it to Liao Yuan to make the decision.

In fact, when Liao Yuan saw the word Kangxi, the lyrics "Eternal emperors, everything is long, and the merits and demerits have their own words." The theme song of a TV series "Private Interview with Kangxi Weifu" that is often seen on TV.

But at the same time, his eyes saw the word Great Emperor, "Great Emperor, Emperor Kangxi..."

He muttered to himself.

Chen Muen originally wanted to talk to Liao Yuan about the 2022 Winter Olympics, because the Propaganda Department had called the company in the past two days, asking Liao Yuan to write a promotional song for the Winter Olympics as soon as possible, but at the moment, the boss was lost in thought , she could only put down her work, gently close the glass door of the office, and leave quietly.

"Kangxi..."

Liao Yuan thought of Han Lei, and "Borrowing from Heaven for Another 500 Years", which is also the theme song of the main drama "Kangxi Dynasty". The ratings, ten years later, also won the "13 Excellent TV Dramas" award in the 20th year of the Chinese TV drama industry.

The singer Han Lei, who was so outdated that he was almost forgotten by people, blossomed for the second time with the program "Singer". The song "Borrowing from the Heaven for Another 500 Years" made this middle-aged outdated singer popular all over the land of China again , It can be said that it shocked the entire music world.

In the previous life, Liao Yuan and Han Lei did not have much intersection, but they met at an event held by CCTV. As a guest, he personally listened to Han Lei's live performance of "Borrowing 500 Years from the Sky" with a magnificent voice. He sang with iron hooves and great passion.

Regardless of whether it is "Unlimited Rivers and Mountains" or "Borrowing from the Sky for Another 500 Years", it is a good song used to describe TV dramas similar to emperors and generals. He smashed his own signboard.

After thinking about it, Liao Yuan turned on the computer and began typing the lyrics of the two songs in the document.

Half an hour later, he left the office and entered the recording studio under the watchful eyes of everyone.

……

"Director Zhang, Director Zhang, Mr. Liao replied to the email, but there are two MP3 attachments, which I have downloaded to the USB flash drive. Do you want to listen to it now, or..."

"Now!"

In the editing room, Zhang Yichi took off his earphones, got up and asked his assistant to insert UP into the player.

"Wait a minute, what are you talking about? There are two songs?"

Zhang Yichi thought he had heard wrong.

"Yes, there are two songs. I just listened to them for a few seconds, and I think they are two good songs." The assistant said with a smile.

Zhang Yichi's eyes lit up, he kept nodding his head and said, "That's right, that's right, Liao Yuan is good enough, he's very loyal."

As soon as the voice fell, an alternating prelude of various instruments came from the player, including a large section of trombone and cymbals. In addition, the whole prelude also had a violin concerto.

Zhang Yichi nodded. The prelude alone has a Chinese style element. It seems that Liao Yuan has put his heart into it.

"Five-flowered horses, blue-fronted swords, and boundless rivers and mountains

One journey by night, one journey by day, the stars and the moon rotate—"

The sound of rapid breathing came from the entire editing room.

Zhang Yichi gasped, this is... Liao Yuan's singing voice?

He thought he heard it wrong, but when he listened carefully, he felt inexplicably familiar—yes, it was indeed Liao Yuan's voice.

It wasn't until the song progressed that he finally figured out the way, and the surprise on his face couldn't be hidden at all.

Liao Yuan’s singing style has been integrated into the singing style of Peking Opera Hualian. As a director who specializes in ancient history, Zhang Yichi’s understanding of Peking Opera is definitely much higher than that of ordinary people. There are many singing styles in Peking Opera, including Hualian, Laosheng, Xiaosheng Wait for the vocals.

In terms of melody, Hualian's singing is simpler, thicker and straighter, with sharp edges and corners than the old students' singing.

In terms of singing, Hualian's singing tends to place more emphasis on the accuracy and prominence of pronunciation and pronunciation. The attribution method of the nasal final.

Although Hualian's voice is the same as that of the old student, it has a completely different vigor and charm.

When Hualian utters his voice, he either emphasizes the "hu tone", "roar tone" and "explosion tone" to exaggerate the character's boldness, rage, arrogance or ferocity; The head cavity, nose cavity and pharynx cavity of "Weng Sheng Weng Qi" resonate to describe the majesty, strength, boldness and straightforwardness of the characters.

In short, the vocal part is more backward than the old students, and the vocal cords and the muscles around them are more tense than the old students.

In this way, the sound appears wider and louder.

"Isn't Liao Yuan a pianist?" The assistant next to him said in amazement, "If I didn't know this singing skill in advance, I would have thought he was a master of Peking Opera."

"Liao Yuan sang "Light Years Away", which is very nice."

The other staff in the room said: "I just didn't expect him to sing Peking Opera."

Hearing this, Zhang Yichi was filled with emotion. After listening to the song "Unlimited Rivers and Mountains", he immediately slapped the table: "That's it..."

"Wait a minute, Director Zhang, there is another song."

The assistant said: "Ms. Liao said in the email that you can use whichever one of these two songs suits you. Thank you for your promotion."

"promoted?"

Zhang Yichi was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that when Liao Yuan was unknown, he paid a high price for "Out of the Western Regions", which solved Liao Yuan's predicament at that time.

It seems that this is also a cause and effect.

He smiled, waved his hands and said, "Listen to the next song."
