The Director of Music Department

Li Mingjuan's "Sunshine Sisters Amoy" has officially completed preparations and will be launched soon.

In fact, the preparation of a film like "Sunshine Sisters" is relatively simple.

Or in other words, the pre-production preparations for feature films are relatively simple, especially for films like "Sunshine Sisters" that do not involve special occupations or special people. Actors, scenery, etc. are actually not that complicated.

Moreover, the shooting time of a film like "Sunshine Sisters" will not be too long, and the production cycle of the entire film will be relatively short. In fact, this type of film is still the mainstream of domestic films at present, because the cost is relatively low. , the return on investment period is naturally shortened, and, if this kind of movie is made well, there is often a chance to make a big fortune with a small one.

For the vast majority of domestic film and television companies, even giant companies, this is also the preferred project, because the investment involved is not large, and the pressure to pay back will naturally be small.

But for this kind of movie, the most important thing is the script. The reason why a feature film is a feature film is naturally to make achievements in the plot.

Looking at the big-budget movies in the film market, the plots are often weaker because the main direction is different. On the contrary, pure dramas are often literary dramas, so the plots are relatively richer. Of course, commercial The movie must not be too complicated.

And large productions, such as historical epic movies, such as science fiction blockbusters, etc., have a long production cycle. In fact, most of the time, they are in the early stage of preparation. Customized props, costumes, and make-up also need to refer to many materials before they can be finalized.

Then there is the scene, because the vast majority of feature films are based on realistic backgrounds, so when it comes to filming scenes, reality exists, you just need to choose the right place, but science fiction movies, as well as some historical masterpieces, costume movies, etc., then Most of the time, the scenes they need are fictitious. For better ones, such as costume blockbusters, they need to find suitable natural scenery as shooting scenes, and more need to redesign, produce and build studios. It takes time and manpower and material resources to realize.

For example, Wang Yifan was able to shoot "I'm Not the God of Medicine" in less than half a year because it was a feature film, and the scenes and other aspects were real.

When shooting other movies, it took a long time.

For example, "The Martian", because the male protagonist needs to undergo weightlessness training in advance, the training time alone will take several months, and the space capsule and other shooting scenes will also be built. Naturally, the time and money spent are doubled Increased.

Therefore, for film and television companies with limited capital flow, most of the time, it is impossible to make big productions.

Why are movies called high-risk, high-return investments?

For example, a film like "The Martian" took more than a year from preparation to release, with an investment of more than 200 million yuan. From preparation to release, it is equivalent to a product being produced, and then it is sold. For example, there is a one-month release period, but in terms of the distribution cycle of theaters, it is usually impossible to give you a share as soon as the movie is released, and there will definitely be a certain delay. And it's still fast.

"The Martian" is a big hit, so in two years, it's OK to have a sufficient rate of return.

But how many good projects like "The Martian" are there?

The "Titanic" in the previous life has been overdue and over budget. This is because the Hollywood giant Fox has a relatively strong ability to withstand pressure and is relatively strong, but even this has affected other investments and operations during that time.

The high risk of movies is not only reflected in the uncertainty of the box office, but also in the return on investment cycle.

Some people may say that the market value of the giants is tens of billions, so spending a few hundred million is nothing, right? However, market capitalization is market capitalization, and cash flow is cash flow. Don't look at them as if their market capitalization is very high, but if their cash flow is 5% of the market capitalization, it is considered very high. It's more about intangible assets and real estate and so on, and those are assets not cash.

Closer to home.

"Flammable and Explosive" is a song by former singer Chen Li. It was released in 2016. In fact, the popularity of this song is not very wide. After all, Chen Li is not a famous singer, and this song is quite difficult to sing. of.

The key is that the style is very special.

Wang Yifan gave Yan Lingxuan this song because he actually felt that Yan Lingxuan's situation fit this song very well.

how to say? No one is beautiful, everyone loves her, some people like her beauty, like her fairy spirit, but there are also people who hate her and prefer her sex appeal, but there are also people who think it is vulgar and vulgar.

Yan Lingxuan cared too much about the voices of the outside world, so she kept changing herself, but ended up making a mess.

And "Flammable and Explosive" don't read so many lyrics, in fact, it's just a one-sentence thing, what do you want from me?

Huaguo's music has always been very strange.

Why do you say that?

For example, in the golden age of Hong Kong Island records in the early years, good songs were frequently released, but what happened?

The song is a good song, but almost all of them are directly used other people's melodies. There is a saying that Momoe Yamaguchi feeds the music circle of Hong Kong Island.

Chinese people emphasize words rather than melodies. Of course, this is also related to the domestic environment.

As for good songs in China, basically, you will find that they are all good lyrics with good lyrics. Of course, ordinary people don't care whether the melody is original or not.

The lyrics of "Flammable and Explosive" are of course very good, and the melody is not bad.

The whole song means 'what do you want from me...'

Coupled with Yan Lingxuan's prosperous beauty and her experience during this period, Wang Yifan thinks it is very suitable anyway.

And Yan Lingxuan also likes this song very much.

Of course, Wang Yifan didn't expect Yan Lingxuan's singing skills to be really superb. As long as it is not a live version these days, the post-production sound modification technology can also guarantee the quality of this song.

Many people think that the lip-syncing of the live singing is very bad, of course it is not good, because the live version cannot be repaired too much, so the real strength is highlighted. Simply put, it is easy to have flaws.

But everyone is too inconsiderate of these singers. In fact, their singing skills are only average, and their singing is faked.

The name is, in order to bring a better music experience to the audience.

"Flammable and Explosive" was sung for Yan Lingxuan, and it was also a promotion for "Sunshine Sisters Amoy".

Although there seems to be no connection between the two, it doesn't matter.

As long as it can play a role in publicity, it is OK.

Li Mingjuan attaches more importance to "Sunshine Sisters" than Wang Yifan. After all, if "Sunshine Sisters" can succeed, even if the box office cannot exceed "Hitch the Wrong Car", the benefits brought to Li Mingjuan will not be equal. is absolute.
