Just listening to the sound of this song, you can almost imagine a poignant love story, even if you don't understand the lyrics at all.
The whole song has a slowly coming taste. Jin Xishan's live version completely released his emotions. He was sad, reluctant, and helpless, but he had no regrets!
The first half of the lyrics is a beautiful memory, and the second half is a contented and undying confession. Due to the tight time, the vocal orchestra accompaniment that should have been missing was missing, and the erhu and guzheng of Chinese music were only partially edited with harmonies.
If the recording version were to be completed completely according to the original soundtrack settings, it would require the cooperation of at least an entire symphony orchestra to create the original grand scale.
Liu Qingshan happened to be sitting next to Jiang Xibin, and as soon as he mentioned the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra to him, the other party couldn't wait to accept it.
"I also feel that the current way of scoring music is a bit monotonous. I was thinking about the effect of crocheting and performing with the orchestra, so Mr. Liu came to find me!"
This song was originally the theme song of the movie "The King's Man". Different from ordinary movie theme songs, movie audiences can recall the content of the movie because of the word "marriage" throughout the song, but those who have not watched the movie , you can also simply appreciate the rich connotation of the song.
Regarding this point, Liu Qingshan had no intention of hiding it from Jiang Xibin: "Actually, this is the theme song in one of my movie scripts. It was inspired by the stage play "Er", but I just suffered from a lack of understanding of the history of the Han Kingdom. , I never dared to submit it to the film company for review, and of course I was too embarrassed to communicate with the author of the stage play!"
"I'm telling you!" Jiang Xibin seemed to have a sudden realization, "From Miss Xishan's singing, I feel a little bit of the rich history. After you said it, it really seems to be close to the historical depth of "Er". I am actually one of the main music planners for that stage play. If Mr. Liu wants to put it on the big screen, I can help you introduce its screenwriter, and even help you find the most suitable person to direct it!"
"Brother Xibin, is this really possible? Then thank you. You have to hurry up to do this, because I will leave for Seattle the day after tomorrow, and I won't have the chance to come back to Seoul for a long time!"
Liu Qingshan's surprise was not a pretense. The original movie set a series of movie viewing records in the cold country.
In the 112 days since its release, the film has been watched by 13 million people, which is equivalent to one in every 3.9 Koreans watching this film, surpassing the popular films of the past two years, "The Flying Taegeuk Flag" and "Siweido" .
Its final box office also exceeded 100 billion won, nearly 15 times its investment, which is equivalent to more than 530 million Chinese dollars.
Moreover, the film is regarded as a must-see national film by the people of the Han Kingdom. It has set the highest box office record in the film history of the Han Kingdom. It also won three awards for Best Film, Best Newcomer, and Best Popular Actor at the "Baeksang Arts Awards" of the Han Kingdom. Grand prize.
No matter which record is astonishingly terrifying, especially the appalling results in total box office revenue, Liu Qingshan is unwilling to give it up no matter what.
Since there is a script and this theme song in Xiaoxing's database, it means that the current movie version is still a blank area, and he has to fight for this opportunity no matter what.
You must know that the first over 100 million movie in China did not appear until 9 years later, that is, in 2014. It was also a big bad movie with the theme of Journey to the West, even though the three leading actors were Kung Fu superstar Zhen Zijian, one of the Four Heavenly Kings. In Guofucheng, Zhou Renfa, the "God of Gambling" who once made a big splash in Hong Kong.
The total box office of more than 530 million Chinese dollars was achieved in a small country like Hanguo. What is the concept of 15 times the investment? It is not much different from a blatant money grab, right?
So before Jin Xishan's performance was over, Liu Qingshan had already created another big business.
Seeing that the performance on the stage was coming to an end, he did not discuss the matter in depth with Jiang Xibin, who was obviously very positive. Instead, he made it clear: "Brother Xibin, let's meet tomorrow if the other party has time." , but only if my three conditions are met!”
He has the strength to say this. Now Liu Qingshan has long been a symbol. In terms of influence, he has a very wide range of support groups and has the ability to continuously produce hit products in terms of personal business ability.
Jiang Xibin also knew that this matter was not trivial, and did not draw any conclusions on the spot, but the strong expectation flashing in his eyes could not be hidden from others.
Just when Jin Xishan finished performing the entire song and the entire audience stood up and applauded, Liu Qingshan also stood up and clapped his hands.
The quality of the song is there, and despite its shortcomings, it has definitely won the unanimous praise of the professional jury.
Jiang Xibin sang the praises before everyone else, and his tireless attitude itself was the most real personal feeling.
While others continued to express their opinions around Jin Xishan, he did not make a comment, just because the voting session was not over yet, and the identity of Snow White had not yet been fully revealed, although almost everyone guessed that she was Jin Xishan. .
It wasn't until the final result was displayed without any surprise, and the final winner had a celebration ceremony around the stage, that Liu Qingshan was asked by the host what he thought of the result.
Since the program team did not intend to expose Jin Xishan's identity publicly, he did not want to comment too much. However, before he could open his mouth to speak, the director's instructions came through his ears: "Mr. Liu, the host will follow up step by step. Reveal Miss Jin’s identity, and just answer his questions truthfully!”
Sure enough, after he said a bunch of polite words without much nutrition, Jin Jidong gradually took the topic deeper: "My beautiful Princess Snow White, many people actually know your true identity, but the program team has it According to the rules, until the conditions for uncovering your face are formed, you still have the right to act independently!"
In fact, from this moment on, people in the audience were already shouting her name.
But Jin Xishan obviously didn't intend to admit it so casually, but asked back: "Can Brother Jidong see my beauty in my outfit?"
Jin Jidong said happily: "Okay, we all respect your choice, but the director team gave me a request, asking me to find out the authors of the songs before and after you. I don't know if you can do it except that you are indeed beautiful. Reveal some information?"
In fact, it was not that Jin Xishan did not want to reveal his face, but he was also responding to the director's instructions. Today, he only recorded four songs, and all dialogue time was needed to extend the video material.
So she immediately turned her attention to Liu Qingshan, saw him nodding slightly in agreement, and then said with a smile: "Can you turn off my voice changer first? It feels a little weird to say his name in this tone. of."
The next moment, her voice became normal. As soon as that familiar voice came out, the audience cheered again.
"The three songs are all composed by Mr. Liu Qingshan Liu, especially the latter one. Obviously the arrangement was completed in a hurry, but the final recording version will try to improve it!"
Even though they had already guessed who composed those songs, the audience still responded with warm applause and screams.
Liu Qingshan knew it was time for him to speak: "Several songs were completed in a hurry, but to my surprise, the singer's singing skills have made breakthroughs. I think it's time to compose some difficult songs for her!"
His words caused an uproar in the audience. Anyone who is familiar with music knows that many of his previous works are very difficult, especially the song "I Want My Tears Back" that made him famous. It topped the major music charts in Europe and America.
In short, his music works are extremely difficult. Once they appear in today's music scene where pop music is so popular, they are bound to become popular.
Although Jin Xishan's first album has a classic first song, there are only two songs that are somewhat difficult. One of the conditions for her to finally become the queen of the music industry is that the difficulty of the songs has increased.
This news is undoubtedly good news to her fans, and many people at the scene are her fans, so it is understandable that it caused a certain sensation.
Even Jin Xishan himself was quite pleased with what he said: "So that's what you planned. Did you not mention this before because you were taking my face into consideration?"
Her words were met with laughter.
Liu Qingshan answered honestly: "Learning vocal music is a step-by-step process. I didn't mention it before because your learning effect is very remarkable and has far exceeded my expectations. However, the singing style has not been fixed yet because of your voice." Conditions are still changing, so saying it too early will only change your mentality and stop practicing your voice seriously!"
Perhaps he is the only one who has the qualification to say this. Others may not be able to hold back a good song in their lifetime, but this is not a problem at all for him. It is a fact that he has come up with three new songs in a few days.
thus. After hearing these words, almost everyone nodded frequently, including Jin Xishan: "I think this song "Marriage" has a lot of room for improvement."
Liu Qingshan nodded: "If we add some operatic singing to the transitional part of the main chorus, it will highlight the grandeur and profoundness of this song. So far, I haven't heard this from your mouth."
"Okay, let's talk about this later. Mr. Liu, what do you have to say about the results of today's game?"
"Brother Shengyan's performance level just now is not lower than yours. It's your song selection that is more suitable for such a stage. In other words, the biggest credit for your lucky win should belong to me!"
Another burst of laughter rang out.
The male singer is called Park Shengyan. He is a veteran singer who is nearly 40 years old. He is one of the few top male artists in the Korean music scene. This shows how powerful his singing skills are.
You must know that the status of singers is generally low, and being able to enter the ranks of second-tier artists is already considered a rare exception.
