Chapter 195 Album and Soundtrack

With Zheng Jing's help, Li Fuzhen and Amanda made a big deal worth over 100 million yuan.

The two women achieved mutual benefit and a win-win situation, and they had their fill in wave after wave of cooperation.

Li Fuzhen and Amanda just need to have enough to eat, but Zheng Jing has a lot more to consider.

Not only did he have to connect the two women's locations, he also had to provide them with food and shelter. He really put a lot of thought into it.

And the next morning, while Li Fuzhen and Amanda were still catching up on their sleep, Zheng Jing got up to work.

It's really not easy to be a man.

After breakfast, Zheng Jing took Jing Tian to a recording studio near the company.

This recording studio was renovated after the company acquired it, spending more than 80 yuan in total, and all the equipment is top-notch.

In external publicity, it is known as a million-dollar recording studio.

"Jing Tian is indeed a beautiful lady in the world. In order to record her new album, she spent millions to build a professional recording studio.

It is said that the recording studio is only for Jing Tian, and when Jing Tian is not recording songs, it remains idle..."

Western Films and Television has been issuing similar reports and press releases, continuing to strengthen Jing Tian's character as a beautiful and wealthy woman.

The effect of this wave of marketing is still good.

As a rich and beautiful woman in the world, you should have money to spend as you please.

Jing Tian's personality is recognized by more and more people, and his talent continues to increase.

Zheng Jing wrote two songs for her, one was SHE's famous song Super Star, and the other was "Running" sung by Yu Quan and Huang Zheng.

Super Star Jing Tian sang solo, while Zheng Jing sang with her in the song "Run".

The rhythms of these two songs are simple and cheerful, and the style is positive, which is very suitable for the cartoon "I Love Singing".

It will be used as the theme song for the cartoon then.

When the cartoon starts airing, Jing Tian’s album will also be released, and both parties will promote it together to achieve mutual benefit and a win-win situation.

When I walked into the recording studio, I saw two middle-aged men chatting inside. They were Zhang Li and Zhang Hongguang.

Zheng Jing did not take charge of the soundtracks and songs of "The Emperor of Han Wu" and "Beauty's Rival in Palace", and Western Films invited Zhang Hongguang to produce them.

Zhang Hongguang is a true master composer, especially in the field of film and television music, and has written many popular songs.

The songs he composed were mainly majestic and powerful, and he was the mastermind behind the “Voice of the Emperor.”

Among the songs composed by Zhang Hongguang in 2001, the most famous one was Tu Honggang's "Loyalty to the Country".

This was the first time Zheng Jing met Zhang Hongguang.

Zhang Li took the initiative to introduce the two to each other, and then said: "The opening and ending songs of Emperor Wu of Han have been written.

Mr. Zheng, you can listen to the demo of the song. If there is no problem, then it will be decided and we will find someone to record the song as soon as possible."

Zhang Li is the director of The Emperor Wu of Han and is only responsible for the music composition of The Emperor Wu of Han. He is not responsible for Beauty's Secret.

Zheng Jing nodded and listened to the demo of the song.

In addition to the original ending song "Waiting", the other song is "Borrow Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven".

Zheng Jing said, "I think I've heard this song 'Borrow Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven' somewhere before."

Zhang Hongguang explained with a smile: "That must be Zhou Xiaowen, who hummed in front of you.

This song was originally written for the TV series "The Great Hero Zheng Chenggong" directed by him.

It’s just that the drama “The Great Hero Zheng Chenggong” has been filmed for a long time, but it has not yet been approved.

I like this theme song very much. It is one of my masterpieces and I can’t bear to see it being buried.

It just happened to be used on Emperor Wu of Han, and it was very suitable.”

Zheng Jing then remembered that "Borrow Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven" was a song written for Zheng Chenggong, and was eventually used as the theme song for "Kangxi Dynasty" and sang praises to Kang Mazi.

He also changed the lyrics from "May the world be flooded with blood" to "May the world be filled with fireworks."

I have to say, this is very ironic.

The Kangxi Reign will not be aired until December and is currently in post-production. The theme song has not yet been recorded.

So he was preempted by Emperor Wu of Han.

This is also a good thing.

Emperor Wu of Han was a man of great talent and strategy, and he expanded the territory, which obviously makes him more suitable for this song.

Zheng Jing smiled and said, "Both songs are good. Who do you want to record them?"

Zhang Hongguang immediately said: "I personally think Han Lei is the most suitable."

Zheng Jing was not surprised by this answer. He nodded in agreement and then asked, "What about the beauty's scheme?"

Zhang Hongguang said: "Beauty's Rival in Palace is a drama with a strong female lead. Teacher Chen Tao and I wrote the character "You", which is very suitable for this drama.

But it has been agreed that this song will be sung by Tu Honggang."

Hearing this, Zheng Jing said directly: "No problem, I'll do as you say, Teacher Zhang." Zhang Hongguang is a professor at the School of Sound of Beijing Film Academy, and it is right for Zheng Jing to call him teacher.

The song "You" was originally the theme song of The Secret History of Xiaozhuang. It is very popular and is indeed very suitable for historical dramas with a strong female lead.

This time, the beauty's scheme was once again taken advantage of.

With "you", Zheng Jing wrote an ancient style song for Beauty's Rival in Palace, and the theme song was done.

After talking about the soundtrack of the TV series, Zheng Jing asked Jing Tian to practice singing by herself, then took out a stack of papers, handed it to Zhang Hongguang, and said, "This is an instrumental song I wrote when I had nothing to do before, and the name is Victory.

Now I want to use this song in the movie "Breaking the Cauldrons", but I lack the ancient Chinese musical instruments and need to adapt it. I would like to ask Mr. Zhang for advice. "

Zheng Jing invited Zhang Hongguang and Zhang Li to come over today, mainly for the soundtrack of "Burning the Cauldrons".

When Zheng Jing was experiencing the script of "Burn the Boats", the music that came into his mind was the song "Victory".

This song is majestic and epic, and it is absolutely suitable for use in war movies.

Moreover, "Breaking the Cauldrons and Burning the Boats" tells the story of Xiang Yu's revenge and victory, which fits the name and style of Victory very well.

But the overall style of this song is still Western symphony.

Zheng Jing wanted to combine Chinese drums, sheng and flute orchestras and make some adaptations to give the whole song more Chinese style and better fit the movie Breaking the Cauldrons.

When it comes to grand and majestic music arrangement, Zhang Hongguang is second to none in the country.

There is nothing new under the sun, and the same goes for the music industry.

The so-called Chinese-style and ancient-style songs that will be popular in the future have actually always existed in many film and television drama songs in the mainland.

Whether it is Tu Honggang's "Farewell My Concubine" and "Loyalty to the Country", or "The East Flows the Mighty Yangtze River" and "The Sky of History" from The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they are all top-notch Chinese-style songs.

But for young people, these songs are not “popular” enough or cool enough. One needs to reach a certain age and gain more experience to gradually appreciate these good songs.

This is something Zheng Jing gradually realized after entering the entertainment industry.

There are many talented people in China, but we still need to learn to cooperate and leverage their strengths.

Zhang Hongguang took the arrangement written by Zheng Jing and read it carefully.

As a composer, Zhang Hongguang can form the corresponding melody in his mind just by looking at the music score.

The more he watched, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but clap his hands and feet.

After reading the music score, Zhang Hongguang closed his eyes and savored it for a while before he sighed, "Don't call me Teacher Zhang anymore, I don't deserve it.

This piece of music is very well written. When listening to this song, I seem to see thousands of troops rushing towards us and kings, princes and generals making great achievements.

I still need to think about and give it a try as to how to modify this song specifically.

But after reading the song, I have a suggestion. The soprano singing part can be changed to suona or other instruments.

Soprano and choir originated from Western church music.

If this point is not changed, it will be difficult to change the style of this song."

Seeing Zheng Jing nod, Zhang Hongguang hesitated for a moment and said, "Even if we adapt the original song you wrote for the movie, I still suggest you keep this version.

Your version of the song has captured the essence of Western music and also incorporates electronic music. It is a good work that effectively combines symphony and popular music.

If it is performed in the West in the future, it will surely be very popular.”

"I know about this. The original version will still be retained. Then, one Chinese and one Western, two versions, two styles, can also interpret the song in different flavors."

"Well, let's try the suona and the big drum first. Make the drum beat heavier to enhance the momentum so that it won't be suppressed by the suona."

"I think we can try the effect of chimes and panpipes."

……

Zheng Jing and Zhang Hongguang got along better and better as they talked, and they immediately began to re-arrange the music, constantly trying out the effects of various musical instruments.

Zhang Li was originally the assistant director of "Burn the Boats" and wanted to offer some suggestions, but when he saw that he had no say, he simply left.

Zhang Hongguang is really amazing. With his help, Zheng Jing spent three days to adapt "Victory" into a Chinese-style version.

Compared to the epic feeling of the original version, the Chinese-style version of victory sounds more solemn and passionate, as if the battles of war are still before our eyes.

During these three days, Zheng Jing also arranged the songs for Jing Tian's album.

In addition to Running and Super Star, there are also "Sweet and Sour is Me", "Persian Cat", "Curly Eyelashes", "Don't Want to Grow Up", "Ring Ring Ring", "Summer Wind", "Marshmallow", "Want to Sing Me to You", as well as "Girl with Wings" and the English version of this song "Proud of You".

There are 12 songs in total, a very neat album.

The music style of the entire album is mainly fresh and sweet. The songs are not of particularly high quality, but they are all very popular.

Zheng Jing still attaches great importance to Jing Tian.

Since she wants to be a singer, Zheng Jing will naturally do his best to support her and ensure that she will become a hit.

Moreover, with Jing Tian's current talent as a singer, although it is only in the initial stage of development, her voice and singing skills have improved greatly.

Singing these songs is more than enough.
