Text 216: Retreat Creation (2nd Update)

Next chapter

After the Forbidden City closed at half past four in the afternoon of the same day, Nie Wei came here again, and it was still the doorman, who was directly released after seeing Nie Wei this time.

Nie Wei didn't deliberately stay in the Taihe Palace, the Qianqing Palace, the Yangxin Palace and even the small rooms of some concubines and palace maids, Nie Wei walked around seriously alone, but the Forbidden City was too big, Nie Wei obviously couldn't finish in a short period of time, but feeling the solemnity of this imperial city, Nie Wei had more and more inspiration in his mind.

Especially with the majestic scenes in the promotional film, one is the shock from a distance, and the other is the sigh from a close view, this conflict makes Nie Wei have more impressions of the Forbidden City.

In this way, Nie Wei stayed in the Forbidden City so early and late for two consecutive days, at first the doorman was still curious, but gradually found that Nie Wei was just walking around and looking in a daze, and soon everyone lost interest in watching the play.

With the arrival of time, the shooting team of that promotional film also arrived at the Forbidden City.

After getting the news, Nie Wei also agreed on a time for the two parties to meet for the first time.

The living room of the Palace Museum welcomed two groups of guests today, and Director Liu also followed suit.

"Hank, this is Nie Wei, the best musician in our country, he will be responsible for the soundtrack of the promotional film this time, Nie Wei, this is Hank, who previously worked for the BBC and has rich experience in promotional documentaries. Director Liu introduced to both sides.

"Hello. Nie Wei and Hank shook hands, but their eyes were both looking at each other at the same time.

Hank was a typical English-looking, with big eyes, a high nose, a stout build, very white skin, and he looked to be about thirty or forty years old, dressed in casual clothes and wearing a cap.

Nie Wei never expected that the guy who Director Liu was looking for to shoot the promotional film of the Forbidden City turned out to be a foreigner, but I have to say that this foreigner is very good, at least the propaganda documentary is quite good, especially the cultural research of the Forbidden City is also quite in place.

And Nie Wei noticed a detail, just now Director Liu introduced the two sides to communicate in Chinese throughout the whole process, although just just said hello, but the pronunciation of the 'hello' word is also very correct, the other party's Chinese skills are obviously not bad.

And Hank was also looking at Nie Wei.

His first impression of Nie Wei was that he felt that this person was very handsome and had a very good temperament, and he seemed to be the kind of person who was either rich or noble, and listening to Director Liu's introduction, this young man seemed to have made a lot of achievements in the music circle of this country, but these could not hide a point that made Hank feel suspicious, that is, Nie Wei's age was too young.

Can such a young child really write a soundtrack that is in line with such a culturally rich building as the Forbidden City?

Hank was skeptical, and to be honest, he was quite satisfied with his work this time, and he didn't want it to be handed over to someone he didn't trust.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, interrupting you, according to what you said, this Mr. Nie's previous soundtracks were all movies and TV series, so can I think that he has no experience in soundtracks for documentaries?"

Director Liu, who was suddenly interrupted by Hank, was also stunned, he really didn't expect Hank to ask such a question, for a while, he couldn't help but focus on Nie Wei, for fear that this young and vigorous young man would quarrel with Hank like this.

However, what he imagined didn't happen, and he didn't even need to come up with any excuse to play the round, Nie Wei had already opened his mouth to respond.

"Mr. Hank, can I understand that this is your distrust of me?"

"Of course, that's what I mean, but I'm not questioning your ability, it's very powerful that you can achieve such an achievement at this age, I still can't achieve anything at your age, but I also doubt that at your age, you can understand the true connotation of this magnificent building of the Forbidden City. ”

Hearing Hank's words, Nie Wei just smiled, and then replied indifferently: "It's my business to do it or not, this time I came to you, I just want to hear your mental process when filming this promotional documentary, and the meaning of some shots, as for the soundtrack I made later, if you are not satisfied, you can discuss with Director Liu and change to a musician you like." ”

“ok。 Hank shrugged, "I just hope this time I didn't waste my time flying over for nothing." ”

"I believe in my own strength. Nie Wei replied in the same way.

This is the end of the communication between the two that sounded unfriendly, Director Liu was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time kept slandering in his heart how these artists could speak so directly, without any crutches, so that he, the director, was embarrassed to die when he stood in the middle.

Hank quickly got into the state of work, played the promotional video, and explained to Nie Wei little by little what he thought about his inner thoughts when he filmed this promotional documentary, and Nie Wei also took notes seriously, just like that, the two of them spoke and listened, asked and answered, and unconsciously, the morning passed.

When Nie Wei put away his notes and got up, Hank on the side looked at him with less deep suspicion than at the beginning.

"You're a hard worker, I'm happy with your attitude to work, maybe you can really create a good song, I'm looking forward to it now. ”

"Really?" Nie Wei smiled indifferently, then put away his notes and said goodbye directly to the two who were doing it.

Then Nie Wei first told his family and friends to take leave, saying that he would work in the company during this time, and then brought some changes and washes, and then came to the company's recording studio, and then entered a state of retreat.

Half a month passed unconsciously.

Nie Wei has also been living in the company for half a month, and he simply regards the company as his home, and the recording studio is completely contracted by Nie Wei's only individual, and the professional singers under the company can only go to another recording studio to queue up for recording, which makes many people complain in private that Nie Wei is too alone.

However, these voices sounded in private, and no one dared to really shout out, after all, Nie Wei's current status was there, and it was really not who could casually comment in person.

As Nie Wei's agent, Luo Kai also has some ears and eyes in the company, and the words of those people naturally listened to his ears, but Luo Kai was very unimpressed, this group of people was jealous to put it bluntly, Nie Wei was able to monopolize a recording studio, that was his own artist's ability, which was the turn of this group of people to gossip, and casually warned a few words, and sure enough, it stopped immediately.

Luo Kai actually didn't have much of a mind to deal with these people, he basically spent all his energy now taking care of Nie Wei.

This is the first time he has seen Nie Wei doing crazy work for a soundtrack, which is completely different from the previous time when he always came up with an excellent work.

Sometimes Luo Kai even decided whether he should persuade Nie Wei when he took this job, after all, seeing this child working day by day until he forgot to sleep and eat, the whole person lost weight, which made Luo Kai feel distressed enough.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and as usual, Luo Kai came to Nie Wei's recording studio with Luo Yuan's boiled chicken soup, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw that Nie Wei was not still working as usual, but sitting on the sofa, and after seeing Luo Kai come in, his eyes were blazing.

"Tired, don't be in a hurry at work, drink chicken soup first, Luo Yuan has been boiling for a long time to ensure that the nutrition is delicious. Luo Kai and Nie Wei were resting, so he handed over the chicken soup and persuaded casually.

Nie Wei shook his head, suddenly showed an excited smile, and said to Luo Kai, "Do you want to hear it?"

"Listen to what?" Luo Kai was stunned for a moment, and then reacted in the next second, with an excited look on his face, and asked, "Are you done?"

But Nie Wei shook his head again.

"It's only a half-finished product, and it still needs to be sculpted, but the melody of the main movement is basically completed, and the rest of the work is to choose a variety of instruments, which will not be done in a while. Nie Wei explained.

Hearing Nie Wei's words, Luo Kai breathed a sigh of relief, the main movement was completed, then all that remained was the task of carving and polishing the corners, and he became more and more curious about Nie Wei's works, during this time, he didn't dare to disturb just looking at where Nie Wei was busy, so he didn't hear how the soundtrack was, and now that Nie Wei has completed the rough and invited himself to enjoy it, it is obvious that he can already show his hands to see people.

"Show it to me. Luo Kai couldn't wait to urge.

In Luo Kai's urging, Nie Wei turned on the computer, selected the original video, and then pressed the play button.
