“Try the verse again.”
"No vibrato, just be natural."
“The first half is the brewing of emotions.”
“There’s no need to deliberately create a sad feeling in the chorus.”
"The drum beats here can be slightly louder. There should be a sense of emotional release and outburst, but not a hysterical outburst. Control your voice and sing it like you did the first time."
"… "
After the annual holiday, people started to go back to work.
Mid-month.
A recording studio of Star Entertainment.
Lin Yuan began to record the song "Goodbye Kiss" with Sun Yaohuo.
Because Sun Yaohuo had practiced before, the recording went smoothly and Lin Yuan only slightly corrected a few flaws.
Different from before.
Lin Yuan’s previous song recording, composition and arrangement basically all used the original design.
But now.
When recording songs, Lin Yuan has begun to learn to adjust the composition and arrangement according to the characteristics of the singers.
Not that the original is bad.
It’s mainly the music of the original songs, which is built completely around the original singer of the songs.
For example, the song "Goodbye Kiss" has the characteristics of Hong Kong pop music of a certain period on Earth in terms of arrangement, and some small designs in the singing were also specially arranged for the God of Songs Jacky Cheung.
After all, the singer is Jacky Cheung.
However, Sun Yaohuo is not Jacky Cheung, so Lin Yuan also began to try to design some small sections in the arrangement for Sun Yaohuo.
These changes won't be drastic.
Ordinary listeners can't even hear much difference, but it really tests Lin Yuan's ability.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan has also been learning composition and has been exposed to arrangement. After all, music must also keep pace with the times.
After working hard for a long time, Sun Yaohuo's version of "Goodbye Kiss" was finally recorded and all that was left was some technical processing.
Once all these are completed, you can start promoting it.
afternoon.
Lin Yuan went to the set of the TV series "Journey to the West" again.
The filming progress here is pretty good. According to the director, the first season will be finished by the end of the month, but post-production will also require some effort.
Yes.
Lin Yuan did not plan to film the entire "Journey to the West" in one go.
This is a big project and it would be better to shoot it in several seasons.
The content of Lin Yuan's first season of "Journey to the West" is from the birth of the Monkey King to the formation of Tang Monk and his disciples.
In other words, the content of the first season can be filmed up to the point where Monk Sha joins the journey to the West.
The focus of the plot is the part where Sun Wukong makes trouble in the sky.
Basically, all the funds for the first season’s filming are concentrated in this section. This is the bombshell plot at the beginning of Journey to the West, and all the climax and special effects must be very exciting!
It is worth mentioning that Lin Yuan’s version of the TV series "Journey to the West" is different from the CCTV version on Earth.
The CCTV version of Journey to the West has many adaptations to the original work.
Although Lin Yuan's version of "Journey to the West" also has some adaptations to the original work, the direction of the adaptation is not completely consistent with the CCTV version.
certainly.
In general, we still have to stick to the tone of the CCTV version and can't make it too dark, even though the story of Journey to the West is indeed quite dark in some places.
If the filming was done more freely, the TV series might even include a few close-ups of the monsters eating people.
Lin Yuan couldn't do that.
If you want to make Journey to the West into a TV series suitable for all ages, you can't take this approach.
The painting style is so bloody, children can't watch it...
The main focus is on the plot and special effects.
During the filming of the CCTV version of Journey to the West, the level of special effects on Earth was not very high, especially for China, which had limited technology at the time.
So the style of the battle is said to be fantasy, but in fact the fighting also has a strong sense of martial arts.
You don’t have to worry about special effects on Blue Star.
The version of Journey to the West filmed by Lin Yuan on Blue Star is definitely the purest in style.
Lin Yuan and the company also provided sufficient investment budget!
If the amount of investment made by Starmang in the Journey to the West TV series were revealed, it would definitely shock the industry!
What are the Fiery Eyes
Your eyes must really be on fire!
No matter how gods fight each other, if there are no strange phenomena in the heaven and earth, it would be a shame to the current special effects technology of Blue Planet!
For this, Lin Yuan gave it his all.
You must be willing to spend money and leave no regrets!
In fact, investing too much money in a TV series is not worth it.
After all, there is a limit to how much a TV series can earn.
The money you can earn from a special effects movie with an 80% score and the money you can earn from a 90% score may not be much different.
This is also the biggest reason why the investment in TV series of the same level will never be higher than that in movies of the same level.
Because the ceiling of the movie is high.
Now Lin Yuan directly shoots the TV series according to the standards of blockbuster movies.
As long as the TV series becomes popular, Lin Yuan will accept it even if it loses money in the end.
That's right.
Lin Yuan was prepared to lose money.
Because he was confident that he could make back all the lost money from the subsequent development of Journey to the West stories!
The prerequisite is that the TV series of Journey to the West must first build up its reputation and influence!
His idea is also simple:
Doesn’t Earth have its own Marvel Universe
Then he can completely create a Journey to the West universe on Blue Star!
In the future, Lin Yuan can also shoot films and TV shows about Journey to the West characters based on the Journey to the West universe.
Like "A Chinese Odyssey" or something like that.
Even "The Lotus Lantern" or something like that.
Marvel has Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor...
If they are together, they will be reunited; if they are apart, the characters will be independent film and television dramas.
There are characters like Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, Nezha and so on in Journey to the West.
If it's combined, it can be "Journey to the West", and if it's divided, it can also be an independent film and television drama.
It's as if everyone hasn't figured out their own story line yet.
If Journey to the West is really well developed, Marshal Tianpeng could shoot some TV series and movies like "The Legend of the White Snake".
It can still become popular by riding on the popularity of Journey to the West.
There is no need to worry about conflicts between this type of work and the plot setting of the Journey to the West TV series.
Screenwriters from Marvel and X-Men have already taught us how to do this:
When indecisive, use quantum mechanics; when you can’t explain something, use time travel; when you don’t have enough imagination, use the parallel universe; when you jump in style, use the virtual world; when you don’t understand color matching, use cyberpunk; when the pictures are old-fashioned, use the pursuit of retro; when things are unclear, pay tribute to Cthulhu!
all in all:
Lin Yuan has great ambitions for the Journey to the West.
As for the script, Lin Yuan is not rigid either.
If there is a system, he can use it;
If there is something that is not available in the system, he can also find a screenwriter to process it himself.
As long as he provides ideas, it should not be difficult to find a few talented screenwriters on Blue Star to help him polish and fill in the gaps.
for example…
If Lin Yuan wants to make a fan fiction about Yang Jian, he can exchange it for the script of the TV series "The Lotus Lantern".
If you want to be more fancy, just bring out "Life is Long and Hateful, and the River Flows East".
The combination of the two is absolutely amazing.
If you want to go even bigger, Lin Yuan dares to shoot "The Legend of Sun Wukong" for you.
All right.
These are some of Lin Yuan’s immature ideas, and they still need to be perfected on how to play them in the future.
If the TV series fails, it will be a bad start and the future development of Journey to the West will be difficult.
This is also the reason why Lin Yuan did not go to the other two film crews today, but only came to the "Journey to the West" crew.
This TV series is the project that he currently attaches the most importance to!
This is related to whether he can successfully expand the grand blueprint of the entire Journey to the West world in the future!
————
ps: There should be quite a lot of Journey to the West works in the later film and television sections. We are even considering making some changes to certain characters or even creating some original scripts. However, considering the issue of immersion, entertainment novels should try not to be original, unless Wubai thinks that the original work is worth writing.
