Rebirth in a Perfect Era

In the Rolling Stone recording studio, Du Wei and Rolling Stone's recording band recorded the song "21guns" in less than a day.

Everyone involved in the recording, including Du Wei and Li Mu, was very satisfied with the effect of the recording.

In Li Mu's view, in fact, she can cut a perfect version of this song as long as she recorded it two or three times, but Du Wei herself has high requirements for herself, and she constantly adjusts her state and over and over again when singing Emotion makes this song truly reach the perfect realm.

The rough cut demo sounded perfect to Li Mu, but the sound engineer told Li Mu that the instruments in the demo were not post-processed, and they seemed a bit frizzy, and the sound was not full and round. , The overall quality of this song will be another step higher.

Li Mu had a band in college, and did n’t enter the recording studio after rebirth. He had some exposure to behind-the-scenes production of some music. The sound engineer is so good that many ordinary people may not hear the difference between the demo and the refined version. For real musicians and critics, they can hear the difference between the two within a second or two.

However, the current music industry is not as intelligent as the later generations, and the late work is slow and intensive, so it will take at least a few days to resolve the final version.

Li Mu can't wait to send a demo of this song via email to Spielberg who is still doing the final work in the cloud province.

Spielberg just ended the whole day of shooting and returned to his RV. This RV was specially transported by him from the United States. Most of the time, he went out to shoot outdoor shows and preferred to live in his RV. It is luxuriously decorated and has everything. Compared to a march tent, it is really good.

The commercialization of Hollywood stars and directors was earlier, and the business model matured earlier, and the general income was much higher than that of domestic actors. Hollywood ’s current stage star movie pays millions or even tens of millions. The director's pay is also surprisingly high, so the first-line crowds in Hollywood are basically high-income groups.

It is precisely because of their high incomes that their filming routines are also very large. The main actors in a movie basically have their own RVs. Sometimes a movie is shot outdoors. There are dozens of RVs parked next to the studio. However, although these pomps are extravagant, most Hollywood actors are more dedicated. These high-standard expenses are basically borne by the actors themselves and will not be imposed on the film.

Spielberg's motorhomes cost more than one million dollars, and the interior is luxurious like a five-star hotel. It not only has all kinds of luxurious furniture and electrical facilities, but also special satellite phones and Internet services.

Spielberg was lying on a comfortable single sofa for a wine tasting break and suddenly received a call from Li Mu. During the call, Li Mu said to him, "Steven, what are you doing?"

Spielberg smiled hurriedly: "I'm drinking, Bordeaux red wine, and drinking a glass every day before going to bed can greatly guarantee the quality of sleep."

Then, Spielberg asked curiously, "Mr. Li, what do you want to call so late?"

Li Mu laughed: "I ca n’t tell you, just to tell you, the demo of the theme song has already come out, I sent it to your mailbox, you can listen to it if you are convenient."

"Really?" Spielberg sat up excitedly, "I've waited a long time for your theme song! I'll listen now."

Li Mu laughed: "Listen, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, I'll make adjustments after speaking out."

Spielberg smiled and said, "General Manager Li has always been working to perfection. You can send this song to prove that it has passed your test. I think this song must be great."

Although the polite words said so, Spielberg really was a little hesitant about the theme song prepared by Li Mu.

Spielberg has always promoted the three core elements of high-end, atmospheric and upscale filmmaking, so from the actors to the backstage, the luxury lineup is basically used. The soundtrack is the same. He has very high requirements for the soundtrack and theme song The master composers are basically Hollywood's top composers, and the selected singers and songs are also very sophisticated. In case Li Muzhen brought a second-rate song to ask himself to be a movie theme song, it was really uncomfortable.

Moreover, Spielberg was more worried that Li Muhui would come up with a Chinese song, because in his opinion, it was really cool. In his eyes, English songs are the most suitable for global promotion, and the film itself It is also labelled Hollywood and distributed from Hollywood to the world, so in this case, if the movie really chooses a Chinese song, it will have some impact on the global distribution of the movie.

So he set a few words with Li Muke and the first thing after hanging up the phone was to take out his computer and open his mailbox.

There were several unread emails in the mailbox, the latest one was from Li Mu.

The title is: "21guns Demo."

The name of the song gave Spielberg a little refreshment. He immediately clicked on the download, and it took several minutes to download this song, which was more than 20 mb in size.

Open this music, winamp on the computer will start immediately, add this song to the audition list and start playing.

The prelude to "21guns" is a guitar player who controls the guitar volume **** rhythmically, and gradually fades out. This processing method will create a melodious feeling. This simple and practical processing method, Spielberg felt the flag fluttering in the breeze, and suddenly he was immersed in it.

Immediately, another acoustic guitar's strumming sound cut in, and then, Du Wei's pure and pleasant voice sang gently under the accompaniment of the guitar.

Just hearing the first sentence, "You know why you are fighting, you know it is worth your life for it", Spielberg feels that goosebumps are coming out.

This sentence, both in Du Wei's voice and lyrics, caught Spielberg's heart.

One thing Spielberg and Li Mu agree on.

In his and Li Mu's eyes, the war itself is not commendable, but in World War II, all those who committed war for justice and peace are worthy of remembering and going with the world's most beautiful language and the highest respect. Praise.

Therefore, when he heard Li Mu ’s version of 21guns, which supported the just war and praised the just war, he was totally moved by the song.

And he did not expect that this song by Li Mu Mo was actually an anti-war song.

As the song entered the chorus, Spielberg even burst into tears.

This "21guns" is not gorgeous in terms of arrangement. There are no complicated chords, magnificent arrangements, even no piano, no orchestral instruments, but only the three major pieces of a rock band: guitar, bass, drums, But it is such simple chords and arrangements that have created an unprecedented solemnity and emotion.

After listening to it again, Spielberg clapped his hands and applauded. This song swept away all his worries before, and only listened to it once became the perfect theme song in his mind.

Excited Spielberg could not help but listen to it again, but accidentally fell into a state of single loop, unable to extricate himself.

Unconsciously, half an hour has passed, and Spielberg excitedly picked up his mobile phone and made a call to Li Mu. He said with a trill when he said, "Mr. Li, this song is awesome! It is really! awesome!"

Li Mu laughed: "Just satisfied."

Spielberg said: "I'm not only satisfied, it's too much beyond my expectations! I believe that if this song is released in the United States, Du Wei can even get a Grammy!"

Li Mu thought that this song was originally sung greenday because the album of this song won the Grammy's best rock album award, this "21guns" can be said to be the most popular album in the album, so the song's The foundation can take Grammy, and Li Mu himself feels normal.

However, Du Wei is not yet a singer who is developing to the United States, so she has not even released an English album. If she participated in Grammy, the success rate was not great. However, according to Li Mu, once "21guns" Fires around the world can at least give Du Wei the status of a Grammy performing guest, and then slowly operate her to win a Grammy award.

Who knows, Li Mu hasn't spoken yet, and Spielberg himself said: "Grammy is expected to start promoting in November of each year in February and release it in December. As soon as the promotion starts, we will start Promote this song, pave the way for Du Wei and this song in advance, and then I will run it and let Du Wei enter the Grammy stage. "

Li Mu said with a smile: "Stephen, you thought of going with me. My idea is to first let Du Wei appear on the Grammy stage as a guest, and let the western people get familiar with it in advance, and wait for the next Grammy. Fight for her to win more prizes. "

Spielberg said: "I ca n’t promise anything else, but I will honor the promise of Grammy's guest performance. I believe this song will be popular. Du Wei as the female of" Flying Tigers " One of the main characters, and as the singer of this song, I believe she will definitely be able to become the most famous Chinese female star in the West through this time! "

Li Mu said with a smile: "I'll leave it to you ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Spielberg said without hesitation:" Although rest assured, Mr. Li, I will definitely do it! "

Li Mu hung up the phone with Spielberg. Du Wei just came out of the post-production room. She just finished the post-refinement direction with the sound engineer. After the two sides reached a consensus, her task was completed. The rest , You have to give it to the post team.

Du Wei came out and saw Li Mu sitting on the sofa in the rest area. Then he hurried to him and said sweetly, "Brother Li Mu, I'm done, let's go."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Leave, I will take you home. Your family should be in a hurry so late."

"No," Du Wei said with a smile. "My mom just sent a text message just now, so let me not worry, take a good recording."

Li Mu said with a smile: "I just spoke to Spielberg on the phone. He loves this song and said you must be popular in the West next year!"
