Du Wei did not expect that Li Mu would charter a special plane for the crew to change their schedule to Yanjing in order to give her one more chance to meet the crew. This made her stunned and looked at Li Mu. Question: "Brother Li Mu, are you trying to make me happy by saying that?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "Of course not, I am telling you this matter very seriously now."
As he spoke, Li Mu added: "You can say that I did this to make you happy, but you cannot say that I said this to make you happy."
Li Mu deliberately added an accent to the words do and say.
Du Wei immediately understood the meaning of Li Mu's words, and suddenly felt as if she had received the best favor in the world. Although his solution was extravagant and wasteful, in her girl's heart, she couldn't help but feel that Li Mu's This solution is really sweet and romantic.
This instantly relieved Du Wei's somewhat sad mood. She leaned gently on Li Mu's shoulder and said seriously: "Brother Li Mu, you are so kind to me."
Li Mu smiled slightly: "I should treat you well. Who makes you so cute?"
Du Wei smiled sweetly, and her pure smile made Li Mu feel extraordinarily peaceful and comfortable.
In fact, Li Mu has a natural affection for Du Wei. Like a brother to his sister, he always wants to give her the best.
In fact, Du Wei's family conditions are very good, so good that even being rich and powerful cannot be described as good. From childhood to adulthood, her life was completely in a state of "nothing is lacking and everything is the best". But even so, Li Mu was still willing to give her the best within his ability.
Du Wei has a good voice, and Li Mu is willing to give her all the good songs. Now she is only developing in China. If she can help her open up the Western market by participating in "Flying Tigers" and singing the theme song this time, Then Li Mu also wanted to give her all the songs by Taylor Swift and Adele that later became popular all over the world.
Moreover, Du Wei has a natural talent for acting, which is comparable to that of most professional actors. This may have a lot to do with the environment in which she lived since she was a child. Although Li Mu is not a money man, he has to admit that since he was a child, Children who have no worries about food and clothing, or even those from very wealthy families, are more confident than children from poor families, and acting is something that requires enough confidence to be able to let go completely.
Therefore, Li Mu also hopes to give her better acting opportunities. It is best to make her the most famous Chinese star in the world. Then Li Mu could not be happier.
After "Flying Tigers", Li Mu will tie Spielberg to himself more closely, and this kind of tie will naturally bring Du Wei in. It is best to bring Du Wei and Spielberg into the future. Bundling several movies together, this is equivalent to setting up a direct train for Du Wei to go to Hollywood and become a top actress in Hollywood.
…
The General Aviation Company's helicopter arrived at Spring City Airport, and Li Mu, Du Wei, and others accompanying them boarded the charter company's long-awaited business jet.
Business jets are much quieter than helicopters, so Li Mu turned on his computer and opened the lyrics of "21Guns" that he had changed so that Du Wei could familiarize himself with the lyrics. After Du Wei read it, he praised the lyrics and kept asking: "Brother Li Mu, you Is there any music score? I want to try to learn to sing it now."
"Haha." Li Mu scratched his head: "You know, I have never seriously studied music theory, and I can't write music scores."
Du Wei stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "Then just teach me how to sing."
Li Mu lowered his voice in embarrassment and said, "There are other people, I'm so sorry."
Du Wei also lowered her voice and said: "It's just singing. What's there to be embarrassed about? Don't you usually sing in front of many people when you go to KTV?"
Li Mu said: "That is singing along with the accompaniment, which is different from singing a cappella. Singing a cappella requires a lot of courage."
Du Wei blinked and said with a smile: "It turns out that the omnipotent brother Li Mu is sometimes shy, and he is actually embarrassed to sing a cappella in front of others..."
Li Mu smiled helplessly: "How to stimulate generals..."
Du Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry about whether it's a provocation or not. You're really embarrassed anyway."
Li Mu smiled and said: "Then I want to officially announce that your provocation method has worked."
After saying that, Li Mu took a deep breath and said, "Come on, listen carefully, I will sing it to you again now!"
Du Wei clapped silently and whispered excitedly: "That's great, but brother Li Mu, just keep your voice down and let me hear it alone."
Li Mu nodded and sang "21Guns" with the lyrics he had changed a little shyly.
The lyrics of the original version of "21Guns" are roughly an anti-war song. Anti-war is certainly the favorite thing for today's peacemakers, especially those big-name singers in the United States. Almost everyone has an anti-war song, otherwise they would be embarrassed to follow others. greet.
But there are so many anti-war songs in the American music scene. The origin of these anti-war songs is not World War II, but the Vietnam War. When the United States fought the Vietnam War, its troops were unknown, and the casualties were extremely huge. There was strong anti-war sentiment, so from that time on, film and television works and songs and artistic works began to be affected by the anti-war wave.
However, for all the victorious countries, World War II was not a nameless war, but a just war in which justice finally defeated evil. It was the glorious result of the righteous people of the world uniting to fight against terrorism. It is a glorious victory for all participants. For the Allied soldiers in World War II, that war is worthy of praise and praise by all mankind in future generations.
Therefore, Li Mu changed the lyrics of "21 Guns" to completely and completely praise the righteous veterans who participated in World War II, especially those who bravely fought against the Japanese invasion in the movie "Flying Tigers" pilots.
Although Green Day is a punk-style band, the song "21Guns" is not frivolous or casual at all. On the contrary, its melody line is very steady, nice and catchy, but also atmospheric, making it easy to sing. It can touch people's hearts.
Although Li Mu mustered up the courage to sing a cappella, he still couldn't let it go. However, after Du Wei listened to him singing a section, she had already transformed the score of the song in her heart, so when Li Mu sang the second section By that time, she was already able to sing along with the low voice accurately.
Li Mu was shocked by how quickly she learned to sing, but he soon understood that music theory and music scores are actually the language of music. Ordinary people have never learned this language, so learning to sing is completely mechanical and enhanced in the mind. Memory is like most people who don’t understand a foreign language, but there is a person who is always beeping in your ear. If you follow him a few times, you will learn the pronunciation of that foreign language sentence, but you still know nothing about their language.
In this case, learning the tune of a song is like listening to someone else say an article in a language they do not understand. Therefore, most people learn songs like parrots, singing along mechanically many times to deepen their memory. I finally remembered this song.
But for a top music student like Du Wei, she has been familiar with music theory and music scores since she was a child. Therefore, when she hears a piece of music, she can understand the language in it, so , when she hears someone else say a sentence in this language, she can immediately remember the essence of the sentence, unlike others who can only remember the pronunciation.
After thinking about this, Li Mu was not so surprised that Du Wei learned the song in one try.
Du Wei finished singing the second verse with Li Mu at this time, and she was already very proficient in the whole song. After singing it once, she said coquettishly to Li Mu: "Brother Li Mu, please sing it to me again!"
Li Mu smiled and said: "You have already learned it very well, and you still want me to sing for you? I think you can go into the studio to record directly after you get off the plane."
Du Wei said a little shyly: "I just want to hear you sing it again. If you feel shy, let's sing it together."
Li Mu had no choice but to nod in agreement.
This time, Du Wei sang flawlessly, even grasping the melodious, solemn and eloquent feeling of the song very well.
Li Mu couldn't help but sigh: "After I go back today, I will take a rest, and then we will rush into the studio to record this song."
Du Wei nodded and said, "My parents and sister agreed to have dinner at home tonight, and my grandparents will also come over. They haven't seen me for a long time and they all said they miss me. After today, any day in the future It will be all right."
Li Mu said: "I have to discuss the arrangement with the recording artist first. I will let you know when it's done, but I won't rush it. You can take a good rest these two days."
After saying that, Li Mu asked her again: "How are the school affairs arranged?"
Du Wei said: "The main professional courses at the school will be arranged by school teachers to make up for me. Some cultural courses are not a big problem. I almost taught myself when I was on the crew, so it is actually not difficult."
Li Mu laughed and said: "I don't forget to study cultural classes even when filming. He is really a standard academic."
Du Wei smiled and said: "My grandfather told me to be strict with myself since I was a child. He also fought all the way through the war and attached great importance to the self-discipline education of his family's children and grandchildren."
After saying that, Du Wei added: "By the way, in this crew, the English level has been greatly improved. The director, most of the staff, and the leading actors are all English-speaking, so I always communicate with them in English. I used to I have never stayed abroad for a long time, but after working with them for so long this time, I feel that my speaking ability has been greatly improved. If I go to study in the United States in the future, I don’t have to worry about speaking.”
Li Mu asked curiously: "Do you want to study in the United States?"
"Yes." Du Wei nodded and said seriously: "It has always been my dream to go to Berklee College of Music and study modern music and jazz."
