Seeing Liang Kun''s confidence and modesty, Spielberg had no worries and went to shoot Munich.
He expects Liang Kun to bring surprises, not just to make money, but also to see powerful young directors appear.
Spielberg''s evaluation of Christopher Nolan is "the last film writer of the 20th century", which affirms his innovative spirit different from his predecessors. Now he feels that Liang Kun is also very creative and has a bright future.
On July 16, the heroine of happy death was selected.
Liang Kun didn''t attend the audition. Producer Stewart only invited four actresses to audition. He chose people of the right age, experience in making movies, excellent image and low value.
The heroine was finally won by actress Blake Lively, who was born in August 1987. Liang Kun was very satisfied with the result. This choice was unexpectedly reliable.
Stewart chose black because of her good image and temperament, a typical American blonde. She made a film "summer of jeans", which was released in June this year and won high praise. She''s only 18 years old. She''s ridiculously tall, convex and cocky. Her temperament looks very mature.
Liang Kun is more familiar with black. In the parallel world, she starred in the famous DC rotten film Green Lantern with Ryan Reynolds. Reynolds was almost depressed by the film. The only gain was to know black. Later, they got married. It took Reynolds five years to climb out of the pit and become Marvel''s death attendant.
As the wife of "little cheap", black has some popularity in China. She is also very popular in the United States. She has acted in many films and fell in love with Leonardo DiCaprio. Yes, Xiao Li and Xiao Jian are the same people.
Her height is 173cm. She plays opposite Liang Kun. They are also a good match.
Villain actresses were also selected, a Swedish actress and model named Minnie Anden. Born in 1978, she is four years older than liang Kun. She is just a gossip in Hollywood and plays a small guest role in movies and TV dramas.
She got the role because of her low pay and appropriate image.
Her height is 179cm. If she wears a man''s clothes and a rabbit head mask, she can''t distinguish between men and women. And her facial features are strong, and she looks fierce.
Liang Kun has no impression of the actress. She won''t be popular in the future. Just looking at the information, it should be a good choice to choose her. Black of 173cm is weaker than her.
There are still some supporting roles to be selected, and the crew didn''t get together. Liang Kun didn''t meet the actors for the time being. The leading actor was familiar with the script for some time.
Liang Kun, as a director, has long made a good shooting plan, but he has become a relatively relaxed person in the crew recently.
On July 18, he called Hamasaki Bu and went to the studio of DreamWorks record company to record songs. He planned to record three singles, two of them and one of Hamasaki bu.
Liang Kun rented a Mercedes Benz in Los Angeles. Assistant Li Renjie was responsible for driving. The three went out of the house together.
Li Renjie completely convinced Liang Kun. He had seen a lot of news about Liang Kun and Hamasaki before he became an assistant to Yingyi entertainment. Because Hamasaki is Japanese, not many people are optimistic about their foreign love. Everyone thinks it''s just gossip.
As a result, they actually had a relationship. After Hamasaki walked to Los Angeles, he asked his assistant and bodyguard to live nearby. He directly lived in a villa with Liang Kun.
And they did not avoid Li Renjie. Hamasaki''s female assistant and bodyguard also knew about them and would not tell them. Li Renjie only needs to keep it a secret. Liang Kun likes a strict assistant and can give him some bonuses.
Li Renjie usually doesn''t hear any private words and always plays soy sauce on one side. Because they usually chat in Japanese, he can''t understand it at all.
Li Renjie was driving in front and heard them chattering in Japanese behind.
Hamasaki asked curiously, "how on earth did you persuade the great director? He not only let you be a director, but also make a soundtrack and a single in the film?"
"That''s what we talked about when we had dinner." Liang Kun was a little proud and said with a smile, "it may not be used in the film. Let''s record it first. Of course, if the song quality is high enough, the producer has no reason to find someone else to score. Just when you came, I think you sing the female version is more suitable for making the ending song."
"Sure, these two songs are great," Hamasaki said with a smile.
In November 2003, universal records acquired the record company of DreamWorks by agreement.
DreamWorks records has famous musicians and bands such as Nelly fortado, Toby Keith, Eliot Smith and cockroach dad. The company has produced several musicals and produced background music for blockbuster films such as Shrek and almost famous.
The pay for making this play is not high. Liang Kun has a way to strive for his own interests in other aspects. He wants to sing theme songs and interludes in the film and put songs into advertisements. This is a ready-made resource. As long as Spielberg talks to the people of the record company, it''s not as effective for Liang Kun to talk to people in Xiangjiang global branch as Spielberg.
The predecessor of Xiangjiang global branch is Polaroid, which has little status in the headquarters and is basically speechless. Moreover, Liang Kun''s relationship with the branch will not be very valuable even if he signs a contract with universal record headquarters in the future.
His best choice is to make a single first and sign a record company after it becomes popular. If he put two songs in the film, the box office of the film will explode. Can the song not be popular?
After arriving at the location, the male staff received two people. "Hello, Mr. Liang. I''m Harry. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, too. Take us directly to the studio. The accompaniment is here." Liang Kun handed the CD to Harry. When he was at home, he had already made a good accompaniment and made full preparations for coming to the United States.
He prepared 10 English songs and a violin version. Many accompaniments were played by himself. He seldom went out in the past few months. Generally, he went out to play music in the Universal Studio.
Hamasaki followed Liang Kun and was proud of him. This man is too strong. He is already a superstar in Asia. He can still eat well in the United States, and he has only been here for half a month.
She spent a year in the United States for music training. She lived like a transparent person. Except for the teacher, almost everyone ignored her. The teacher didn''t smile when guiding her and was never polite to her.
Since then, Hamasaki has decided to develop in Asia. He thinks he can''t make a name in the United States. Yudota''s going to Europe and America to release an album is a suicide.
Now, an opportunity to play a single in the United States suddenly appeared in front of her. She didn''t come to Liang Kun for singing at all, but she liked Liang Kun''s new song very much.
The first song they recorded was called chandelier. Harry was the only staff member in the company. Liang Kun was introduced by Spielberg, but the white people in the company don''t think how good Asians can sing English songs, even if Liang Kun''s English pronunciation is very standard.
However, as soon as Liang Kun sang, Harry was stopped. The lyrics of this song are obviously suitable for female singing, but Liang Kun sings it equally well. His voice is so good that he doesn''t bother with the high part.
"I want to swing like a chandelier, like a chandelier. I want to live in the non-existent tomorrow, the non-existent tomorrow. I want to fly like a bird at night until my tears dry. I want to swing like a chandelier, like a chandelier..."
Liang Kun used a lot of true and false voice switching. It was a voice acrobatics. After singing with zero mistakes, he didn''t have to record it for the second time.
With the assistance of training, as long as he practiced a song well, he made no mistakes, and he could reach this level when holding a concert.
Hamasaki didn''t sing so well. He recorded it many times, and Liang Kun guided him. She has a cigarette and wine voice. Her voice is quite like the original. The recording can be sung well. The live version will be more difficult.
When recording, a song must first be processed through two tracks.
The first is the singer''s pure voice. The singer sings with the accompaniment. This is a track, only his own voice. Then the technician will process this track according to different needs, such as adding reverberation and various effects to enrich the sound.
The second track is pure accompaniment. Accompaniment is a variety of complex timbre synthesis in advance, such as guitar, piano and drum.
Basically, after the first track is processed, the synthesis audition will be conducted first, so that the basic prototype of a song is available, and then the deficiencies will be modified and noise reduction will be processed, and a song will be officially released.
Making an album and singing KTV are two different things. Many singers'' albums sound good. This is why they can only lip synch at the scene. Idol singers who can''t sing can easily create a "scene of a car accident" when they hold a concert.
This song shows the thinking of a "party girl", which explains in detail the moral corruption of alcoholism. The song is quite consistent with the film happy death day, because the hostess just appeared as a "party girl" with a hangover. She has offended many people and thinks that many people are likely to kill themselves.
In the parallel world, this "chandelier" was included in SIA''s sixth studio album "1000 forms of fear". It was released as the main song in 2014 and won four Grammy nominations. SIA performed at the 2015 Grammy Awards, but failed to win the award.
The lyrics of the second song Viva La Vida (long live) have nothing to do with the film. Liang Kun plans to use this song as the mobile phone ringtone and episode for the female host to get up. When traveling in Europe last year, Liang Kun wrote the song and never released it, just waiting for an opportunity.
It doesn''t matter if the lyrics don''t match. The song won two awards of "song of the year" and "best pop combination" at the 51st Grammy Awards, and was nominated as "production of the year". The quality is not to be said. The female Lord is killed again and again. She wants to survive and end the cycle of time. It is also the embodiment of long live life.
Anyway, this is the song that the hostess likes in the film. It''s good to listen to. Liang Kun also plans to sell a pass in the film, not to release a single outside the film, not to say who sang it.
As long as the fans feel good and take the initiative to search this song, Liang Kun''s goal is achieved
