Chapter 51: : Scarborough Fair
Ava Gardner has studied singing for more than a year. Writing scores is just a basic skill. Hardy sang twice and asked her to record the numbered scores and lyrics.
"Ava, you try to sing it again." Hardy said.
Ava Gardner took the score and tried to sing.
"Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. "
When Ava sang for the first time, she still stumbled a little, but Ava's voice and singing skills are much stronger than Hardy, and she has already sung.
"Ava, the essence of this song is ethereal and distant, and the sound seems to come from the sky, making people intoxicated." Hardy explained the artistic conception of this song to Ava Gardner.
Ava couldn't help but nodded.
I stabilized my mind and sang again. This time, the singing is obviously ethereal. I have to say that Ava's voice is really talented, and the voice is so beautiful that it can hold your ears tightly.
This time Ava is much more adept than the last time. There is almost no pause during the singing. After singing a song, Hardy wakes up from the enjoyment and opens his eyes.
Such a beautiful singing voice, I never cherished it before.
Be careful not to hurt her in the future.
After Ava sang, she looked at Hardy with excitement, "I really like this song. It's so beautiful. When I sing, I feel my whole person wandering in a sea of ??colorful flowers. I feel very comfortable in my heart. I have this feeling."
"Sing it again."
Hardy said.
Ava sang the third time.
She enjoys singing, and it is even greater enjoyment for others to listen to her singing.
"Ava, follow me." Hadi took Ava and walked out.
"Where to go?"
"The film company has a recording studio, let's go to record the song." Hardy said.
"But there is no music now?"
"It doesn't matter, the film company has arranger, they will do it." Noah is a big company, every film needs music arranger, naturally it has a lot of talents.
There are several people working in the arranger room. They are making the soundtrack for an independent film. Noah does not make the film himself, so he can only rely on the support of some independent film companies.
Director Jason saw Hardy come in and stand up to say hello, "Assistant Hardy, why did you come to our arranger room?"
"Some things ask you for help." Hardy said with a smile.
"Is it about the soundtrack of the new movie?" Director Jason asked.
The news spread very quickly, and the news of preparing to shoot a new movie is estimated to have spread throughout the company.
"No, there is a new song, please give me an accompaniment."
"A new song?"
Hardy handed the numbered musical notation to the other party. After reading it, the supervisor Jason became interested, and walked to the piano to play the musical notation, while humming along with the tune in his mouth.
"It feels very good, I will find someone to sing it again and try it." Jason said.
"You don't need to find someone, I have a singer here." Then he pushed Ava Gardner out, "Ava, sing it again for everyone."
Several staff members stopped their work and looked at the beauties one after another.
The song Ava has been sung several times, and this time it was more relaxed. The beautiful voice echoed in the room, and several arrangements were immediately attracted.
Xin said that this girl's voice is so good, where did Assistant Hardy get it.
The arranger supervisor, Jason, reacted after hearing a few words and began to use piano accompaniment. With the accompaniment, everyone immediately felt that the song was more beautiful, and quickly immersed in the song and was deeply intoxicated.
The song is over.
People finally woke up.
"Wow~~ It's so beautiful, I think this is the most beautiful music I've ever heard in my lifetime, it's simply the sound of nature."
"I seemed to be floating in the sky just now, and the surrounding clouds are within reach."
"I feel that some of the tunes are similar to a Scottish folk song, but there are also differences, which are more beautiful and charming."
"I heard the meaning of anti-war in the lyrics."
Jason got a little excited, and asked Ava Gardner: "I'm sure I haven't heard this song before. May I ask this lady, did you create this song?"
Ava Gardner shook her head, then looked at Hardy.
"No, this was created by Hardy."
Jason was stunned.
The other arrangements in the room were also stunned.
was actually created by Assistant Hardy. I didn't expect Assistant Hardy to be such an excellent songwriter and compose such a beautiful song.
Someone thought,
No wonder Assistant Hardy was hired by the boss as the assistant to the chairman at a young age.
was preparing to shoot a new movie, which suddenly brought the whole company to life, and now I find that he can still compose songs.
Some people even thought,
It’s not that the boss prepares to train him as a general manager.
Hardy looked at the arranger supervisor, "Jason, can you help me with the accompaniment, this song is the theme song of the new movie?"
"Of course." Jason agreed immediately.
can complete this kind of music accompaniment, he feels honored, maybe this will be a classic that will be handed down to later generations, then his name may also be remembered.
"After composing the accompaniment, I will ask you to help Ava record this song."
"No problem at all, by the way, can I ask, what is the name of this song?" the supervisor Benson asked.
"The Scarborough Fair."
......
Driving home, Ava has always been very excited. Today she got the role of the heroine and the opportunity to sing the theme song of the movie. These are all her dreams. He feels like Cinderella has a magic wand.
All this is amazing.
Watching the traffic passing by, Ava hummed a song in her mouth. After singing a sentence, she suddenly looked at Hardy, "Hadi, I know that the parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme in the lyrics are all flowers. Is there any implication?"
"These kinds of flowers represent the sweetness, strength, loyalty and courage of love." Hardy said.
Ava Gardner's eyes turned blurred, and it took a long time to exhale, "I see, now I feel the lyrics are more beautiful."
"By the way, Hardy, there was an arrangement just now that he heard the anti-war meaning in the song, is that true?" Ava asked again.
Hardy knows that this song "Scarbro Bazaar" was born in 1965. It does have an anti-war meaning, and it should be the Vietnam War.
But the Second World War has just ended, and now it is completely suitable.
"Ava, your task during this time is to polish this song well, and I will let the company record him into a record." Hardy said.
"Well, I must sing it well." Ava Gardner said excitedly.
......
The next day, Hardy brought Ava to the company again, handed her to the arranger supervisor Jason, and went to Nolan himself.
Nolan saw Hardy coming over and quickly greeted him, "Hadi, come over and have a look. I have already selected a group of second- and third-line actors. You can see if there are any suitable ones."
resume with photos.
It says what roles have been played in the past.
There is also the experience of performing in a certain performance group and so on.
The salary of these people is obviously not in the same level as those of the big stars. Some people even only get a weekly salary, which is only two or three hundred dollars a month.
Most of them are looking for opportunities.
Jon, the protagonist of "The Wilderness", is a man in his thirties with a face full of vicissitudes. This kind of person has a lot of people in Hollywood. Hardy and Nolan are looking for the kind of and Jon. An actor with a suitable temperament.
"This wife."
"This eye has no eyes."
"This jaw is too ugly."
Just when he turned to the next one, Hardy was stunned when he saw the photo and the introduction.
Clint Eastwood, 33 years old, has played supporting roles in several small-cost movies, and Hardy has never heard of those movies.
It's him? !
How can it be.
I can see that the photo is indeed the Eastwood in my memory.
According to history, Eastwood should be only 15 years old now, completely out of time and space.
But Hardy thought for a while.
In this world that I came from, there are so many things that are different from historical time and space, and there are also many movie characters and events, so why bother now.
"Nolan, find this man to see." Hardy pointed to Eastwood and said to director Nolan.
Nolan looked at the photo.
"A heroine actor, do you think he is suitable?"
Hardy smiled, "It might be a piece of gold buried in the sand."
