Chapter 524: Talking about music and movies

Danjiang Middle School.

Chou Dong's alma mater.

Jay Chou seems to have a deep affection for his student days, not only did he sing in the song "Three Years and Two Classes" such as a special work nostalgic for his student days, but even the filming location of the film director's debut film specially chose this former alma mater, and it seems that the first self-directed and self-starred movie in his life was filmed in this place, which has extraordinary significance.

Luo Xun is just a friendly cameo.

His little scene, if he is willing to rush to work, he can finish filming in just one day, but Jay Chou insisted on pulling Luo Xun to shoot for a few more days, his main purpose is to ask Luo Xun to help guide him on his personal performance problems, don't look at Jay Chou won the award for the male number one in "Initial D", in fact, his expressionless performance in the movie actually suffered some criticism, but because he is a newcomer to acting after all, this criticism has not been amplified.

Luo Xun agreed.

As a result, he made a cameo appearance in half of the director's work, and gave Jay Chou and other actors enough performance guidance, of course, in this process, Luo Xun showed interest in the director's work, which attracted Jay Chou's attention:

"Do you want to make a movie too?"

Hearing Jay Chou's question, Luo Xun smiled and said: "I have this idea, but I am not fully prepared at the moment, so I will not shoot it myself in the short term." ”

"I think ......"

Jay Chou said seriously: "You can be a good director, just look at some of the things you have done in my crew in the past few days, and you have shown quite rich experience." ”

"Please. ”

Luo Xun found that he had been staying with Jay Chou for a long time, and he couldn't help but say a Taiwanese accent: "If you hadn't been calling me, these should have been the jobs you should be responsible for." ”

"Haha. ”

Jay Chou smiled proudly: "Otherwise, you think that I gave a song like "Blue and White Porcelain" for nothing, if I don't squeeze you dry, I don't want to leave, of course, I can let the assistant director hang your name in the column." ”

"Not really. ”

Luo Xun didn't feel that he had done anything great, Jay Chou's request was just to give Luo Xun the opportunity to summarize his experience in shooting MV some time ago, he is constantly absorbing experience and knowledge in this area, this is a process of continuous enrichment, and his efforts have paid off well, and the power of "Blue and White Porcelain" is indeed extraordinary, and the popularity directly radiates into his first album "The Wind Rises", even if Luo Xun has not officially included this song in the album-

Jay Chou is very generous.

He said that anyway, the popularity of "Blue and White Porcelain" exploded at the same time as the popularity of Luo Xun's first album, so it is better to include it directly, provided that Luo Xun helps him take care of the crew more, Luo Xun did not refuse again this time, and agreed with a smile.

Followed by.

Jay Chou expressed his affirmation of Luo Xun's musical talent with emotion: "The Internet has destroyed the monopoly position of traditional big record companies, many former kings and queens can only hold concert tours in different cities under the background of big data, and several companies that monopolize our music scene, including Hua Na, are also inactive, in this context, there are still people who advocate free songs and free concerts, and it is helpless not to pursue copyright issues, your appearance is timely, and it has helped too many people rebuild their confidence." ”

"Faith alone is useless. ”

LUO XUN DOESN'T THINK THAT HE HAS CHANGED THE SITUATION, AND AT THE SAME TIME, THE AMERICAN PHYSICAL RECORD INDUSTRY HAS SUFFERED FROM THE IMPACT OF THE INTERNET, SO WHY CAN PEOPLE'S SONGS BE SO DIVERSE AND RICH? BECAUSE THE UNITED STATES HAS COMPLETE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION MEASURES, NAPSTER ALSO MADE AN EXAMPLE OF THE BANKRUPT BACK THEN, ITUNES IS ALSO AN ONLINE MUSIC SALES PLATFORM, APPLE SEIZED THE OPPORTUNITY, AND TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, PROTECTED THE AMERICAN PHYSICAL RECORD INDUSTRY.

"Yes. ”

Jay Chou resonates with this: "In recent years, there has been a phenomenon that worries me, there are many singers' popular song covers from Japan and South Korea, what "Fruits of Midsummer", "Later", "I Believe", "Red Sun", "Can't Stop Loving You", "The First Dream" and so on, have shown that it is becoming more and more difficult for domestic music soil to give birth to good songs. In contrast, European and American music is still a hundred schools of thought, a hundred flowers are blooming, no matter what type of singer, as long as the quality of the songs is enough, there will be a place for them. ”

Luo Xun shrugged.

Write a good word with a very set of melody, it will be very concerned by the market, this is because the public aesthetics have not kept up, and the fundamental reason why the public aesthetics have not kept up is that there are not many domestic music that can enhance the aesthetics of the public, the so-called music is not just a vocal accompaniment, but should be a guitar plus bess plus drums plus piano plus orchestral instruments plus electronic synthesizer plus ambient sound and so on.

Let's talk about the back.

Jay Chou suddenly said with a serious face, he wants to make that kind of online album in the future, that is, the kind of song that needs to be paid for on the Internet to listen, seeing Luo Xun's expression was very calm, he couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you surprised, now everyone listens to songs for free, Jay Chou is such an idiot, he actually said that his songs will be charged in the future......"

Luo Xun smiled.

Of course, he is not surprised, because the future Jay Chou did this, and it was quite successful, making a personal record of electronic sales of discourse music: "I very much support your decision, and I also want to make paid albums with you." ”

"Really?"

Jay Chou was happy, and for a while he felt more sympathetic to Luo Xun, and this degree of affection made him glad that he had made Luo Xun a friend: "I always think that most people who play the piano are playing the piano, and only a few people are playing music when they play the piano, I think you are the one who plays music with the piano and not just playing the piano." ”

It's a bit of a mouthful.

In addition to talking about music, the focus of the discussion between the two is, of course, on the movie, Luo Xun gave "The Secret That Can't Be Said" a lot of opinions that he thought were good, and in the process, he also met a rookie actress with quite good acting skills-

Gui Lunmei.

Strictly speaking, Gui Lunmei is no longer a newcomer, she filmed a few years ago, but the movie that really made her popular was this "The Secret That Can't Be Said", which attracted much attention under Jay Chou's halo, and after Luo Xun met the other party, he also asked the assistant to ask for the other party's contact information.

Don't think crooked.

He thought that he might not be able to cooperate if he had the opportunity in the future, because he had recently tried to get in touch with the director's work, which made Luo Xun have a hunch that he would try to direct and act in one or more works in the future, and it would be very beneficial for him to know more excellent actors.

It's a recognition.

And Gui Lunmei, who is still unknown in the entertainment industry, was flattered, but she didn't expect that she would fall into Luo Xun's eyes, in her superficial understanding of the entertainment industry, Luo Xun is a big man who is not inferior to Jay Chou, she even thought that this was a hint from Luo Xun......

And then there was no then.

Although Luo Xun asked for someone's contact information, he didn't mean to contact the other party, and even Luo Xun forgot about it, and he began to discuss with Jay Chou how to make this movie again.
