Chapter 136: Soundtrack matters

"This is an auditory feast, ten songs of different styles, and several different styles of aria, which surprised us with the talent of Miss Angela. Can you believe that this will be the work of a 13-year-old girl! Eric White, who produced "God is a Girl" and "Every Time" for her, said that he made songs for so many famous singers. There are many better people than Miss Angela, but no one can do it at her age. Make such eye-catching results.
Undoubtedly, we can see that Miss Angela's potential is very huge, and then think of other aspects, I can't help but think of people often saying that when you are excellent in some aspect, God must have kissed you! Obviously, God had kissed Miss Angela more than once-or her face was almost rotten.
Here I don't want to comment on the cheerful "God is a Girl" or the slightly sad "Every Time", or the encouraging "Light", nor do I want to talk about the "playing beautiful island" and the brisk "Island" You Make Me Feel Good ", I just want to talk about two songs-" The Wilderness "and" Angel in the World "! Two very interesting songs. If you want to choose one of the hardest songs in this album, it is undoubtedly "Wildland". It is a bit like the end of an aria, so that the song that looks heavy as a whole has a free vent. If her range can be wider, I believe it will resonate more with the audience, but this little regret is quite in line with Miss Angela's age.
I heard that she participated in Mr. Spielberg's "Schindler's List" showing the Jewish Holocaust. Although I don't know what the movie content is, maybe it is because of this that she wrote such a song.
But for "Angel in the World", although it is a bundled free delivery, although neither Disney nor Miss Angela have explained this, please do not forget that an angel has left us at the beginning of the year, and the whole world is saddened by this I think this song should be dedicated to her. From the beginning, she whispered softly, to the high praise in the middle, and then came back softly. It is very consistent with the life of that angel, so wonderful, so beautiful, I think Angie Ms. La must like her very much. Actually ... me too ... "
After reading this, John Williams put down the magazine in his hand, looked at the office with interest, sat on the sofa next to the coffee table, carefully read the staff in the hands of Angela, and gently waved his hand from time to time, and then lightly Coughing: "Angie, your song was really written for Mrs. Hepburn?"
"Yes, that gentleman is right." The Wilderness "was written because of the feeling of shooting" Schindler's List ", and" Angel in the World "... was indeed written for his wife." The girl said, and suddenly put down the sheet music in her hand, and sighed, "After filming" Schindler's List ", I went to Switzerland to visit her, but more than a month later she went to heaven ... Unexpected. "
"Well ... yes, it's really unpredictable, but your song is really good. If Mrs. Hepburn hears it in heaven, it will definitely be moved." John comforted, seeing the atmosphere a little dull, and switched the topic: "Okay, Anji, sign me a name if you have time. My young granddaughter is your fan. Although your record is a hodgepodge, it is of a high standard and praised by all media. "
"All the media?" Angela shrugged. "Aren't you kidding me, Mr. John, and the Portland Herald-and more than that-it's almost as if someone wrote it for me."
"Why do you care about the tabloid reports? They originally attracted readers by gimmicks," John laughed. "Those people are just jealous of you. After all, you are a girl, and you are still so young. I think as long as any cooperation with you People who have passed-like my old man-know your talents. "
"Yeah, girl, child, and ..." Angela muttered, but swallowed the following sentence, shook her head, kicked these things out, put the music in his hand on the coffee table, and looked at the old man Child: "Let's get back to the topic, Mr. John? I came to Boston after declining the premiere of" Piano Lessons "in France. You have to tell me, what can I do?"
Angela didn't really want to attend the premiere of "Piano Lessons". Although she liked the time when she was filming in New Zealand, she was embarrassed by certain shots of the film-it was because of this that she was the first in France Screening-Although she is still a little girl, she inevitably feels a bit empathetic, and this feeling is undoubtedly very bad.
However, the reason why I proposed it now is just to understand what I want to do. Although I am full of joy to come to John's studio to learn the soundtrack, but when she came, I found that the other party's music has many songs, although the theme The melody was still the part she was pulling, but ... does she need to do anything?
"This ..." John thought for a while before saying, "Let ’s start from the beginning ... Angie, do you have a general idea of ​​the soundtrack?"
"Yes," the girl nodded, "I have also read some books about film soundtracks before. Generally speaking, movies have a variety of rhythm functions, such as subjective rhythm, objective rhythm, director psychological rhythm, and audience psychology. Rhythm, etc. However, only the form of music and movies are very uniform in rhythm. Music can express these rhythms through different musical rhythms and music languages, catering to different styles and different scenes of the story. To a certain extent, the role of music in movies cannot be replaced in any form-"
With that said, she grabbed her head and spread her hand: "Well, I'm doing this as I did it."
The old man smiled softly: "It doesn't matter, basically, although those books are about, but they are also suitable for beginners to read, and I-" he turned sharply, "-just two points First, the soundtrack of any movie has to be created according to the relevant theme. Here it is not just as simple as being divided into tragedies, comedies, and comedies. You continue to know clearly what the director wants to express! "
"So we went to see the demos in the morning!" Angela understood immediately, with some lingering memories, before she and Mr. John went to see the first clips, although they were not finished yet, many shots were given. I was deeply impressed, especially when I saw that she was wearing a red coat lying on the car with her eyes wide open and a rotten face. Although she flew by, she still surprised her. Now she dares to guarantee her memory. There is absolutely no such lens, otherwise she would definitely recall it.
And John nodded: "It's like this, of course there are many things in it, such as deciding what instrument to use according to different situations, whether it is a solo or an ensemble, etc., but the theme must be grasped, just like the paragraph you pulled at the time , Has caught the theme of the entire movie, sad and give people hope, so the music I write will not leave this category, you are really a genius! "
Faced with the compliment of the old man, the girl's face turned red immediately, but the babble could not speak, and took a few deep breaths before avoiding the topic: "So, what's the second point?"
"Continuous creation," John shrugged. "Inspiration is the most important, but inspiration is hard to capture. You never know when it will come, but people will not care whether you have inspiration or not. By then, you have to I have to submit my work, so while composing the theme, I continue to compose, test, and modify for inspiration. "
Then he pointed to the thick sheet music on the coffee table: "You see that I have written so much, but it can really be tested and used, only 10%!"
Angela opened her eyes wide and blinked before asking what she thought: "I want to test? How to test?"
"Don't you think that the soundtrack work is to compile the music and give it to the film company, or you can return it to rewrite, Angie?" John Haha laughed, waiting for the girl interface, the phone on the desk rang now .
"Well, they must be here," said the old man, picking up the microphone.
"Hello, I'm John ... have they arrived yet? ... Okay, I'll be right there ... Yes, and Miss Angela ... When she comes, you can ask her again."
Putting down the phone, John looked at the girl with a smile: "Well, let's go to the Boston Concert Hall now. Someone is waiting for us. There are your fans there."
Angela stopped talking and followed the old man to the Boston Concert Hall with a lot of doubts. Not far away, it took ten minutes by car, and Mr. Sparrow was still waiting in the car, and then she entered the music with John In the hall, the manager is a middle-aged man in his forties, who is slightly attentive to the two, and is still at an end, and is very comfortable with others, so after the other party asked to sign her daughter, Angela agreed quickly.
After crossing the long aisle and entering a small concert hall, the girl was surprised to find that there were already a lot of men and women in the small hall communicating with each other holding musical instruments. This was an orchestra!
After finding out that the young and old came in, people stopped talking, and then started to check their instruments. Needless to say, they would start playing next.
"This is it?" Angela looked up at John, a little puzzled and a little clear.
"This is the Boston Popular Orchestra. I am their conductor. My works have always been performed by them." The old man said with a smile. "This is the most important thing, understand? Anji, you have to work with a regular , Bands that are familiar with each other to help perform their own works, so that you can understand what is suitable and what is not, so that you can better modify your work! "
(It's a bit late, tomorrow is an anniversary, rehearsal on the outside square, noisy ... as for the second more ... I can only say that I work hard ...) 2k novel reading network
