Chapter 207 Let professionals do professional things!
Are you satisfied with the theme song?
Ye Weiyang touched his conscience and said, maybe it was because his literary and artistic corporations were insufficient, or his aesthetic taste was not elegant enough?
Anyway, he was very dissatisfied with the so-called "Love At that time".
But is this suitable to be said directly?
Would it be a bit offensive?
Ye Weiyang also had a little bit of trouble.
In the end, he decided to follow his original heart and replied: "Yes, for that song "Love At that time", I really don't understand the meaning that the creator wants to express."
The chat atmosphere immediately became awkward.
On the other end of the phone, not long after getting up, Bai Hong, who had not even dressed up her makeup, sat cross-legged on the bed and took a picture of her phone with a little depressed look.
The lyrics of this song were actually written by director Li Gang himself, and then asked someone to write them.
There is obviously no need to question the talent of director Li Gang. Being able to win the best directors at A-class film festivals at home and abroad is already the top director in the film industry.
His writing style must be nothing to say.
But Ye Weiyang is also a creative genius.
At least in terms of writing songs, his talent has been verified by the public. He wrote one song with a popular song, and each song is quite profound, not the kind of saliva song.
If others say that Li Gang is so confused about what she writes, she can just squirt back.
But the person who said this was Ye Weiyang, so it would be hard to swear back.
People really have the fucking level to judge the quality of a song.
Although no one can refute it, at least it must be the big guy in the music circle to have the status and level to criticize Ye Weiyang.
Bai Hong is obviously not qualified.
She thought for a long time before she put in a sentence: "Where can't you understand?"
After seeing this reply, Ye Weiyang held his forehead and shook his head speechlessly.
"Literary, too literary."
"It's not that literature and art are bad, but popular music is popular culture. What you need is popular songs that the public likes, and good music."
"Movies can allow the audience to understand what the creators want to convey through the sense of lens and picture, as well as fragmented lens language, but songs cannot be used, and songs can only be listened to."
"The quality of the lyrics directly determine the quality of a song. The lyrics of this song "Love At that time" made me feel like I was watching flowers in the fog and was confused, so I hope I could understand the general content and plot of the movie directed by Li Gang, and hope that with the cooperation of the plot of the movie, I could understand this song."
Ye Weiyang tried his best to express his thoughts in a tactful manner.
Although he didn't know that this was written by director Li Gang himself, the crew of such a large crew finally decided to sing this song, and I'm afraid it's also a work recognized by the director, screenwriter and producer. It's better not to be so direct.
After carefully reading Ye Weiyang's opinions, Bai Hong didn't know what to say.
Is this song not good?
As a person who doesn't know much about music, she actually doesn't understand these things very well. It's just that the lyrics were written by Li Gang herself and the composition was made by well-known composers, so she trusted their level.
But she actually doesn't understand the quality of this song.
Ye Weiyang expressed her demands from the perspective of a professional music creator. Even if Bai Hong doesn't understand, she will convince her if she makes the decision.
So after thinking about it, she called director Li Gang and told Li Gang about Ye Weiyang's request.
Li Gang, who received the call, was also surprised. Some people said that the words he wrote were not good?
Although he is mainly a director, it is unreasonable for those who can write scripts to write lyrics!
How many years has it been since no one dared to question his creative ability?
Li Gang's first thought was a little dissatisfied. Now, why do all kinds of ragged singers dare to question themselves?
"What's the name of that singer?"
"Ye Weiyang, the most popular band now, the lead singer of the band that never closed, has debuted for less than a year and has released more than a dozen songs. Each song has become a hit and has a very high singing reputation."
"oh?"
Li Gang became interested and hurriedly hung up the phone and searched Ye Weiyang's information online.
As a director who is usually busy with work, Li Gang obviously has no time to pay attention to the troubles in the music industry. At least he doesn't know about Ye Weiyang's popularity in recent months.
After checking it, I found out that the band that has been open in the music scene in the past six months has emerged.
With curiosity, he listened to the song written by Ye Weiyang on the music platform.
He listened to the most popular songs from "Cycling" to "Youthful and Promising", to rock-style songs such as "Returning Me to Blue", "Time Machine", and "All the Way North", as well as the most popular songs in the past month, such as "Chasing Dreams and Childhood Hearts" and "The Brightest Stars in the Night Sky".
After listening to it, Li Gang's impression of Ye Weiyang immediately changed 180 degrees.
As a father, the song "Bicycle" is so popular with his appetite.
As a director who has only emerged in his 40s and has made a name for himself in the film industry, the song "Youthful and Promising" also resonates with him very much.
He also admired the two inspirational songs "Chasing Dreams and Childhood Heart" and "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky". It was not a slandering song, but also a deeper one.
He even found out the "Hill" written by Ye Weiyang to Li Zonggang.
For an old man like him, "The Hill" is simply an invincible killer. After listening to this song, even if Li Gang is an internationally renowned director, he was impressed by Ye Weiyang's talent in music creation.
With his backhand, he immediately called Bai Hong again.
"Send all the information about our movie to Ye Weiyang. Let him do the theme song, let him do it completely. I have no objection to change the lyrics."
"This singer's talent is really not mentioned. When it comes to directors, I am professional, but if it comes to creating music, he is professional, and professional things must be left to professionals, so we don't have to interfere."
In just half an hour, Li Gang completely gave up his plan to write lyrics for the movie.
Li Gang has high expectations for this new movie. He has been preparing for it for more than three years and hopes to excel in every aspect.
Before, he thought that only by writing lyrics by himself could he do the best!
However, after listening to the songs written by Ye Weiyang, Li Gang felt that it is better to let professionals do professionals.
After receiving Li Gang's instructions, Bai Hong quickly contacted Ye Weiyang again.
Under Liu Yunqing's inspection, Ye Weiyang signed a confidentiality agreement with the film crew of "The Escaped Time" and received a detailed film information as he wished.
It includes the biography of the protagonists, the outline of the movie script, and the complete story direction.
After receiving this information, Ye Weiyang read it carefully and said to Liu Yunqing in surprise: "This script is indeed well written, it is strange that it is not the king of Chinese art films."
"It's so bad that the lyrics of the theme song are just right, I don't know who wrote it."
"The movie tells a college couple. They broke up with some family pressure because of reality. They met again ten years later. After all the twists and turns, they confirmed that the other party was the one who wanted to stay together for the rest of their lives. It was a pretty good love story."
"As a result, the lyrics are written in a mess, and I can't even tell a story clearly. It's too stream of consciousness."
