Chapter 1167

Whether they are boxing brothers, or Ben Bennett, Marcus Mumford, they are all pure musicians.

Ben Bennett, formerly known as Joseph Burnett, is a grass-roots music composer. He grew up in the 1960s, mixed up in the 1970s, and became famous in the 1980s. In the music industry, he gave himself a nickname, "T-bone", which unexpectedly broke into the name, So it gradually became the people's name for him.

This music composer has always insisted on making grass-roots music such as folk songs, orchid grass and country music, and has many similarities with George strand. Unfortunately, as a singer, Ben's talent has never been able to really shine. Although he has occupied a place in the industry, it is far from "like thunder" for ordinary music fans.

Later, Ben gradually retired from behind the scenes and turned to the work of producer, which really sparkled and tapped his potential. Partners include the who, Roy Orbison and so on, and have made brilliant achievements far beyond the singer's career.

After that, Ben made friends with Ethan Cohen and was invited to produce the original soundtrack of "three kings of prison escape". His career ushered in a golden age. In the production of original music, his talent was fully displayed.

"Walk with songs", "crazy heart" and TV series "hometown of music" created his era of career success, and won the Oscar for best original song with "crazy heart"; In 2014, the TV series "zhentan" will be broadcast, and all the music will be arranged by him.

This time, the song selection and adaptation opinions of the "drunken folk" creation stage all came from Ben. Next, Ben will cooperate with a group of actors and singers to further complete the production of the original soundtrack.

Although Ben has a close relationship with the film industry, in fact, he has almost no chance to meet the actors - if it's not for music and movies, the creators of soundtracks and original songs hardly need to meet the actors. Strictly speaking, he is still a musician.

As for Marcus Mumford, he is more professional and devoted. He is just a singer. He comes from an indispensable band in the rising trend of folk songs in recent two years. Son of Mumford, Marcus is a guitarist and drummer, as well as a lead singer.

Mumford & Sons, the name comes from Marcus' surname, Mumford, and the other members are not Marcus' children, just band members. Founded in 2007, this British Independent folk band has achieved incredible success in just a few years.

Marcus, by the way, is only two years older than Langley.

In people's fixed impression, it seems that folk songs belong to the melody of those middle-aged people. Only after experiencing the ups and downs of life can they really compose the music that touches the heart, but this is not the case. Not only now, but also in the 1960s. Bob Dylan released his first album at the age of 21 and became famous at the age of 22.

Monfoy's son has now released two albums. Marcus is one of the main creators, and both albums have been sought after by music critics from all over the world. The speed of their rise can be called rocket.

This time, Marcus was invited to play the role of Mickey, and will play his first and only film as a voice.

What's interesting is the process of Marcus joining the "drunken folk" group.

The Cohen brothers and Langley began to discuss the right person for Mickey's role. Because they only need to sing two songs, they don't need to appear on camera, so they can invite pure folk singers to play.

The first choice that came to Joel's mind was Bon iver, but Ethan didn't think it was a good idea.

In Langley's opinion, bon iver is a good choice, but not the best one.

According to his own ideas and settings, Levine and Mickey should be the same age.

On the way to realize the dream of folk songs, two people walk side by side, from scratch, learning guitar, writing and recording albums together. They are not only partners, but also friends. This experience is crucial to the songs that two people sing together, and to Levine's emotional transformation.

So it's better for Mickey to be around 23 or 24.

There is a premise.

Historically, in 1961, Bob Dylan was just 20 years old, and Dave van runck was only 25 years old. The difference between them was only five years.

In the role setting stage, the Cohen brothers didn't think about this at all. After they decided that they couldn't play because of the schedule of Langley, it was very rare in Hollywood that they were about 25 years old and could satisfy the choice of actors and singers at the same time, so they gave up this point completely, That's why Oscar Issac is in the run-off stage - he's 34 years old.

After twists and turns, lanli joined the crew.

In the process of role communication between Langley and the Cohen brothers, he revealed more important factors of role setting, which also reminded the Cohen brothers that although age is not important in the film, no one has ever mentioned it, and no relevant influence has been shown in the plot and lines, it is very important for the performance and story details.

After careful consideration, the Cohen brothers decided to adopt Langley's real age, that is, 23, which is infinitely close to the status quo of Bob and Dave in 1961. For the whole story, it is undoubtedly the best choice.

The Bon iver proposed by Joel is 31 years old; If it's Oscar Issac, it would be the perfect choice, but now it's Langley.

Then, new and rising singers such as ed Sheeran, Tom Odell and Sufjan Stevens came into sight.

Originally, Randy's personal friend ed Sheeran has become an important candidate, but then Randy mentioned the son of monfoy, who has been hot for nearly two years. Personally, he likes Marcus Mumford's voice very much. There is some rock and roll in the folk songs, which is closer to the songs of the second half of the 1960s. And ED is a better combination of folk songs and pop.

Unfortunately, Lan Li and Meng Fu's son have no personal friendship, so it is very difficult to invite them.

For this reason, the Cohen brothers found Justin Timberlake.

Justin didn't push, and without saying a word, he shouldered the responsibility of contacting Marcus. Unfortunately, I have received a regretful reply. Meng Fu's son is now on a world tour, starting in December at the end of the year and going on to the summer vacation this year, so I can't spare time in a short time.

It's the schedule problem again. But this is Hollywood. The top people are always full of countless jobs. The "Avengers alliance" is a typical example. The shooting time must be negotiated, negotiated and renegotiated. Just one schedule is enough to make the crew in a mess.

Although strangling, but also powerless.

Just then, Kerry Mulligan, who overheard the discussion, stopped and cast a curious look. "Do you mean Marcus of the sons of monfoy?" After getting a positive reply from the Cohen brothers, "if you need help, I can contact you."

Lanli immediately responded, "how can I forget. You should be more familiar with the British circle than I am. Sorry, I should have asked you directly. " Kerry and Marcus are both from the UK, and different from Langley, they both started their business in the UK. The entertainment industry seems to be very big, but it's also very small.

In the face of lanli's "sudden realization", Kerry showed a big smile, happy laughter, so that everyone was confused, she explained, "yes, Marcus and I are very familiar, and we will often meet." Then, Kerry took out the necklace she had been wearing on her chest and showed the pendant.

It's a ring.

Blue Li's eye ground glided a silk to be surprised, then rubbed to rub forehead chagrin. He remembered a detail, an important detail. On the first day when the crew met, Kerry wore the ring on her left ring finger. In other words, it's a wedding ring.

Ethan, Joel and Justin, standing beside them, were still confused and didn't respond for a moment, because they didn't notice the relevant details on the first day, so they couldn't further interpret them now. Then they looked at Kerry, who turned away, and all three of them threw their eyes to Lan Li.

"Marcus Mumford is Kerry's husband." Lanli explained that when he recalled his "sudden realization" just now, the corner of lanli's mouth also showed an embarrassed smile.

Later, they found out. Marcus and Kerry were pen pals when they were young, but they lost touch later. When I grew up, I met unexpectedly in the workplace and got to know each other again. Only then did I realize that the other person was my childhood partner. My feelings were warming up quickly and I fell in love quickly.

After only a few weeks of dating, the two decided to flash marry. Last April, they fulfilled their promise to each other.

Both Marcus and Kerry are very low-key personalities. They never make much publicity or come into the eyes of paparazzi. They just hire relatives and friends to finish their life, so that few people know about it“ The same is true of the cast of "drunken folk songs".

After Kerry's communication, Marcus nodded and agreed to come to play. However, during the tour, he has only five days. Taking advantage of such a short gap, he came to New York, hoping to finish all his work as soon as possible - and get together with his wife by the way.

But no matter Marcus or Ben, or boxing brothers, they are all more familiar with and close to Justin, but now, Justin finds that he is not useful at all; What's more, his "being late" makes him an outsider.

"When did it become late to arrive at the studio 15 minutes earlier?" Justin is full of question marks now.

But now there is no time to discuss, Justin quickly stepped forward, sat down beside him and listened, hoping to get into the rhythm of the conversation as soon as possible.
