Chapter 111 Song: Infernal Affairs
Chapter 111 Song: Infernal Affairs
Hong Kong.
In the post-production editing department of the movie "Who is the Spy", director Luo Yuan was watching the editors edit the film when he suddenly said to the producer, "The movie will be released in a month, why hasn't the theme song been finalized yet?"
The producer sighed from his seat, "Director Luo, I've already given all the requirements to the various companies, and we've received no fewer than 30 theme songs. Even the music producers from several companies have stepped in, but you still..." He didn't approve.
Luo Yuan frowned. "You all know what kind of story this movie is about. If it has a terrible theme song, I'd rather not release it at all."
"And what about Qu Die? If the songs Qu Die produces are like this, I seriously doubt their talent is genuine."
The producer quickly stepped forward to persuade him, "Calm down, good things come to those who wait, and maybe a great song will arrive in the next few days."
Luo Yuan said with dissatisfaction, "What, you think I'm too strict? Fine, we'll listen to all 30 songs here today, and you can choose whichever song you think is suitable as the theme song. I won't argue with that."
"You're the director, so of course you're in charge," the producer said with a forced smile.
At that moment, the phone in the producer's pocket moved, startling him. He then took the phone out of his pocket.
Luo Yuan asked, "Are you still going to listen?"
The producer glanced at his inbox and saw a new message. "Listen, another one has arrived, making it 31 now. The composer's name is Ling Xia, I don't know him either. Let's put it at the end."
Luo Yuan grasped the producer's hand, "What are we waiting for? Since it's a new song, let's release it to the public right away!"
The producer had no choice but to unzip the file and click on the "Infernal Affairs" MP4.
Music was playing from the phone.
The uniquely tense prelude immediately sets the mood, creating a suspenseful atmosphere.
It has a sincere, passionate, and meaningful prelude.
A hoarse male voice rang out.
No, I don't want it to end.
"I'm not done yet."
"A journey without end"
As the music played, everyone looked at director Luo Yuan with a strange expression.
Luo Yuan pricked up his ears and listened attentively to his lyrics.
Another boy took over the singing.
"Watch my unstoppable steps."
"I've forgotten where I am."
This word clearly provides a profound analysis of the current situation of the two characters in the movie.
The sense of confusion and helplessness allows the audience to deeply understand that being unable to control one's own destiny is also a state of life.
Who can change the length of eternity?
Who knows how terrifying eternity can be?
Who understands that survival is often more terrifying than fate?
"But no one admits defeat."
Two male voices sang a duet.
That's a killer word.
As the verses slowly transitioned into the chorus, Luo Yuan's eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Unable to reach the destination"
"Back to square one"
"Enjoy the endless journey."
......
We're all so busy moving forward that we've forgotten the way out.
"Seeking occasional satisfaction amidst disappointment"
We are all freed from the suffering of wakefulness in our dreams.
"Wandering in the dimly lit place"
Since there's no end, let's go back to the starting point.
I think neither of us cares.
The film features a brilliant duel between two award-winning actors, vividly portraying the anxieties and uncertainties of both police and thieves regarding the future.
The song reminded everyone of the exciting scenes from the filming of the duel between two top actors.
The song ended, and Director Luo Yuan listened to it again. He felt even more moved by the same melody.
Luo Yuan said, "I've decided that this song will be the theme song for the movie. What's it called?"
The producer smiled and answered, "Infernal Affairs."
Luo Yuan nodded, "Infernal Affairs is a good name." Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, "I hereby declare that the movie 'Who is the Spy' will be renamed 'Infernal Affairs'."
Everyone was taken aback at first, then thought about it and realized that "Infernal Affairs" seemed more appropriate. Who was the lyricist? He was so talented.
The producer looked at his phone and said to Luo Yuan, "This composer named Ling Xia sent a message."
Luo Yuan smiled happily after finding the theme song. He was finally free from worrying about it and could get a good night's sleep. He could continue working tomorrow.
"She said it would be best if the two lead actors in the movie sang the song, so that it would be more impactful."
Upon hearing the name of the producer, Luo Yuan realized that this person named Ling Xia had immediately struck a chord with him.
"Hey, hurry up and contact Andy Lau and Tony Leung, and get the song recorded as soon as possible."
"Okay, okay, but if we're going to re-perform the song, should we lower the price for Lingxia?"
Luo Yuan slapped the producer on the head, "Such a good song, of course the whole family should buy it!" What is he thinking? Is he the kind of person who would discard someone after they've served their purpose?
What if the producer touches the top of his head and realizes he's been filmed so badly he has a concussion?
According to industry practice, film or television production teams can perform secondary processing on purchased works, such as changing the song title, melody, or singer.
The only change to the song "Infernal Affairs" was the singer; everything else remained the same. Luo Yuan was very satisfied with it, and had been cheerful for the past few days.
He must meet Ling Xia and have a good chat with her if he has the chance.
