The work of giving movie soundtracks is very boring and boring, especially in Italy, where I was unfamiliar with my life, Li Yange felt extremely tired after only working for a day. It was really a torment to communicate with the editor who was not proficient in English, but this also made him experience the different fun from the domestic soundtracks.

The rich electronic music in the recording studio that replaces symphony music can only be used to operate a few buttons to produce music that is almost the same as the symphony. It is much more convenient and quicker than the domestic crew who invites orchestras to perform.

Just like that, after a few days of busyness, Li Yange, Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Byrne, three others, watched the original movie while performing the soundtrack with the editor.

If you want to make a good movie soundtrack, it is not just as simple as composing, but you need to edit it based on the movie picture and plot.

For example, during post-production, when editing the picture and dubbing the actors, the required soundtrack must be edited accordingly or even modified and re-started.

This is the first time that Li Yange has officially participated in the production of the movie's late-stage soundtrack. He just started the whole process, watching Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Byrne edit and modify the music scores of the well-made soundtrack.

"Li Jun, look at this plot, it is about Puyi's first time leaving the palace. At this time, the soundtrack must be changed according to the plot. In addition to allowing the audience to understand Puyi's complex emotions from the soundtrack, they also need to express Puyi's own emotions about leaving the palace."

Ryuichi Sakamoto pointed at the content played on the small screen, turned his head and explained to Li Yange who was concentrating behind him.

"Then do you need to modify this soundtrack?" Li Yange asked with a raised eyebrows.

"No, there is no need to modify it. We just need to re-edit, not that long section." Ryuki Sakamoto told Li Yange why he was like this.

If you want to be a good musician, not only can you just be able to compose music. Ordinary musicians often hold multiple jobs. In addition to the most basic composition and composition, you also have to learn how to adapt and edit according to the needs of the movie.

In this regard, David Byrne and Ryuki Sakamoto are very skilled.

Li Yange asked and listened. He didn't pretend to understand, but asked humbly what he didn't understand, and then remembered the answers of the two, and then remembered them in his mind after understanding them.

"Li Jun, are you here for the last part?" Ryuichi Sakamoto edited the music, stood up and let Li Yange sit down, and how to perform the post-sounding music according to his previous explanation.

Li Yange was stunned. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and sat down.

Looking up to watch the plot on the screen is the last part at the end of the movie, a group of tourists walked into this solemn and solemn "Taihe Palace!"

Ryuichi Sakamoto said: "There will be subtitles on this dragon chaise later. All you need to do is edit the soundtrack."

"What do I need to do?"

"It depends on how you understand it. As an excellent musician, you must not only be able to do your job well, but also understand the meaning you want to express in the movie, and then make appropriate changes to the music according to the plot needs."

Upon hearing this, Li Yange frowned and recalled the movie he had watched. In the last subtitle, he turned off the movie and did not watch it.

After all, except in the cinema, who would choose to watch the crew subtitles as long as the foot binding online?

Just when Li Yange was wondering what to do, thinking of Ryuichi Sakamoto's words, he slowly raised his hands and started the final soundtrack...

…………

On January 21, 1987, the weather was clear.

Most parts of Italy have a subtropical Mediterranean climate. Rome is a typical example of this climate. January should be a cold winter, but at this time, Rome not only does not feel the slightest coldness, but at noon, the scorching sun shines on the earth, and it feels a bit like a sunny person.

At around 1:00 p.m., Li Yange, Sakamoto Ryuichi, David Byrne came out of the film company, and walked towards the hotel very tiredly with the big sun above his head.

In order to complete the post-production of the movie as soon as possible, they finally completed the four-hour first-cut soundtrack yesterday. The next thing was not theirs. The editor needed to edit it himself according to the company's requirements.

On the way, Ryuichi Sakamoto asked, "Li Jun, the matter is over. Are you planning to return to China?"

"Yes, tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, I have to fly back." When I thought of going home, Li Yange's head hurts, not that he doesn't want to go back, but because of transportation.

Although Sichuan Airlines was established in September last year, that was only established. If the airport construction, subsequent staff, and even passenger planes were not completed, it would probably take one or two years to officially open the flight.

Therefore, Li Yange can only take a plane to return to Beijing or Guangzhou first, and then take the train to his hometown in Rongcheng, Sichuan Province.

"Then you have to book your flight as soon as possible." Ryuichi Sakamoto reminded: "There are not many airlines flying to China now, you have to transfer as we did before we came."

"I know this." When Li Yange thought of turning around, his head hurt even more.

Nowadays, you can't just book a flight ticket just by wanting to book a return ticket. There are not many domestic and foreign airlines. When Li Yange and his friends came to Italy before, they also transferred from Hong Kong.

After returning to the hotel, Li Yange directly came to Ning Ying and told her about returning to China. By the way, she asked her to help buy the air ticket back to China.

"I started asking about the air tickets yesterday. Currently, there is only one plane flying to Japan tomorrow. If you go in the future, you will have to wait until next week to fly to Hong Kong."

"There will be a plane to Hong Kong next week?"

Li Yange frowned. It's only Wednesday on the 21st now. If you want to wait for next week, you'll have to wait for four or five days. Then you'll have to waste another day of time when the transfer is going to be. It's almost time to go back to China from the 25th to the 6th. Then it will take another two or three days to take the train back to Chengdu.

The 28th is New Year's Eve. If you delay this, you may not be able to go back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year.

Ning Ying thought for a while and said, "Yan Ge, why not fly to Japan first. There are many passenger planes flying to Hong Kong on Japan. Although the number of transfers is a little more, it is worse than waiting for four or five days."

"That's how...it seems that I can only fly to Japan first."

Transfer from Japan to Hong Kong, and then from Hong Kong to the mainland, is a little troublesome, but Li Yange has no other choice. He can't really wait for the passenger plane to fly from Rome Airport to Hong Kong, right?

That's a waste of time!

It just happened that I went to Japan for this trip and finalized the release of the album, so I didn’t have to go to Japan again after the New Year.
