Chapter 176: Negotiation

Qin Fangge nodded, and then said with a sincere face to brag, "When watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when I think of these scenes, I have such an impulse to compose music in my heart. ”
On the soundtrack side, there is more fragment music needed, and it can be said that if there is no background music, the grade of a TV series or a movie will drop a lot.
Chen Yumo also asked Qin Fangge to talk about his own thoughts, and now, Qin Fangge was even more talking. As for the soundtrack, it will be used in almost every episode, and this mainly depends on how their TV series is filmed.
For example, the Tiger Prison Pass Sanying Battle Lu Bu, Zhuge Liang's tongue battle against Confucianism, Zhang Fei's troubles on the Longboard Bridge, and the grass boat behind borrowed arrows, burned Chibi, Cao Cao defeated Huarong Road and other scenes, these classic scenes, how can there be no background music to set off the atmosphere.
Zuo Shuqin listened to the drums in her heart, and she really understood why even her father Zuo Mengfeng said that composing the soundtrack for the TV series was a thankless task.
There are too many factors to consider, and a long masterpiece like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there are too many and complicated places that need a soundtrack, not to mention anything else, but also combined with specific scenes, which is equivalent to a proposition composition, how can there be free creation to be comfortable.
The reality is that many composers can't create freelance composition, so when it comes to soundtracks for movies and TV series, there are many cases where there is no inspiration. It is not uncommon to hear of cases where the manuscript is delayed, or even the final song cannot be made at all.
She glanced at Qin Fangge again, this guy still looked full of confidence, I really don't know how his brain grows.
And with so many tunes, it would take at least two or three months to record them just by asking them to record them!
At this moment, Zuo Shuqin hoped that Qin Fangge would not get involved in this trouble.
It's just that Qin Fangge didn't look at Chen Yumo's appearance as she expected, and she was quite satisfied with Qin Fangge's performance, regardless of whether he could create these tunes or not, his preparation alone was quite satisfactory to him.
When the dishes they ordered came up, Director Zhang Zhiwen, who had been listening to the sample, also took off his headphones and said excitedly, "I heard Lao Zhao say that Qin Fangge was a genius before, and I was a little skeptical, thinking that he was exaggerating. After listening to these samples, I realized that Lao Zhao, you are still too conservative. Qin Fangge's understanding of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is quite profound, and the music created is particularly suitable for the scene in it. Listening to this song "Dawn of Heroes" made my heart surge, especially this chorus version. It feels the same as "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water", showing the vicissitudes of that thick and deep history vividly. ”
Qin Fangge naturally has to be modest, but Zhao Yuhui is helping him brag, and he is now full of confidence, "Mr. Zhou's vision is never wrong, and she also told us in private that Qin Fangge is the only student she has seen for so many years, and has the potential to become a world-class musician." ”
Qin Fangge smiled a little embarrassedly, "Teacher Zhao, if there is a crack in the ground, I should drill down." ”
Everyone laughed after hearing this, Director Zhang Zhiwen still refused to move his chopsticks, and wanted to talk about his feelings when he just listened to Qin Fangge's recording of a sample.
Such a scenario is also possible, and it is said that music is the common language of human communication. When Zhang Zhiwen first listened to music, he deeply realized this. filmed this new version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Zhiwen, a great director, was quite emotionally involved. But none of the composers he had found before could create the music he appreciated, and Qin Fangge was born, and these music were as if they were written into his heart. Take him back to the ancient battlefield 1,700 years ago, let him experience the feeling of blood and pride, feel the collision of ambition and ideals, and laugh at the heroes and heroes, and enjoy their brilliance.
Qin Fangge's "The Sky of History", which Qin Fangge intended to use as the ending song, summed up his sentiment quite well.
Zhang Zhiwen's memory is good, he can even hum softly, "The sword light and sword shadow have dimmed, and the drums and horns are far away." There are vivid faces flying in front of me. Annihilated the Yellow Dust Ancient Road, barrened the Beacon Fire Border City......"
Especially Zhang Zhiwen, as the director, came to the front line in person and led the crew to travel north and south of the country, spending several years to shoot one scene after another. His feelings for this TV series are even deeper, and the tunes created by Qin Fangge give him a feeling of being understood.
Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen, a big director, is not afraid of being hungry, and it is inevitable that he will be excited, and when the crew is busy, it is the most normal thing to not take care of eating.
But Zhao Yuhui didn't let everyone go hungry, and hurriedly mobilized the masses and beckoned everyone to eat first. Wang Qingtian and Qin Fangge all responded, and Qin Fangge also smiled and said that everyone was talking while eating!
Chen Yumo will have a chance to take the CD player and listen to it. And after he put on the headphones, he refused to take them off, and when he ate, he was also unrelenting, holding chopsticks and mechanically sending them into his mouth, almost not feeding the food to his nose to make a joke.
Zhang Zhiwen didn't stop talking when he was eating, and he also told Qin Fangge, "You should not only create these songs!"
Qin Fangge's answer was also very good, saying that he had been familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms since he was a child, and he had a lot of impulses to compose, but he was not particularly mature. At the beginning, I never thought that I could compose music for a TV series like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but now that I have such a grand goal, if I think about it carefully, I will definitely be able to create more tunes.
Then, the topic that Zhang Zhiwen asked was still similar to Chen Yumo's question, but Zhang Zhiwen thought more about Qin Fangge's understanding of this TV series. Although through these tunes that Qin Fangge took out, Zhang Zhiwen could feel his quite mature views.
Qin Fangge did not hide his own understanding and opinions, in fact, he also commented on his predecessors from the perspective of later generations. Merits and demerits, fame and fortune, in the end, are actually only attributed to a handful of loess, and the only thing that can be left is the immortal legend.
But asking him to compose music for the TV series is not something that Zhang Zhiwen alone can call the shots, Chen Yumo and Wang Qingtian also have a considerable right to speak.
Moreover, this kind of investigation is a two-way street, if Qin Fangge is not satisfied with the conditions offered by the crew, he can also completely refuse to compose music for this TV series.
After listening to the sample recorded by Qin Fangge, Chen Yumo had nothing to say about his talent. He reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and he almost praised him to heaven.
Moreover, Chen Yumo was still a little unwilling, and asked Qin Fangge, "I don't believe that you don't have relevant tunes, even if you are not very mature, you can take them out for us to see!"
Zhang Zhiwen also has the same idea, but Chen Yumo is more direct, he also relies on himself and Qin Fangge to be alumni and have a closer relationship.
Qin Fangge had no choice but to pull out some more tunes on his laptop, including the "Wolong Yin" that Zuo Shuqin saw before, and Qin Fangge said that it was not too mature.
This "Wolong Yin", of course, is not Qin Fangge's own work, but an episode in the old version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the original world, a classic composed by Wang Jian and composed by Gu Jianfen.
And when Zhuge Liang was making a big plan to empty the city, he also played this tune. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is not written what kind of tune Zhuge Liang played on the incense and fuqin at that time. It's even more impossible to find it from the official history, because there is no such thing as an empty city plan. It is generally speculated that it may be an ambush on all sides, but no one can say for sure about this, and if it is really ambushed on all sides, the intention of concealment is too obvious.
Anyway, Qin Fangge is going to use the guqin song chanted by Wolong as the music for this section of the empty city plan.
Needless to say, I also know that director Zhang Zhiwen must have filmed such a classic scene as the empty city plan.
And Zhang Zhiwen, Chen Yumo and Wang Qingtian After watching the tunes and lyrics of "Wolong Yin", they have a deeper understanding of Qin Fangge's talent. Knowing that Qin Fangge had created "Mars Style", Wang Qingtian even told them, "I have some doubts now that Qin Fangge is not an earthling." ”
For such comments, everyone laughs and laughs.
As for more scene music, it is not convenient for Qin Fangge to say more now.
After all, things haven't been settled yet, and contracts and the like have not been signed.
And under Zhao Yuhui's reminder, Wang Qingtian and the others also began to think about this matter.
But this is also a very tangled matter for them.
Qin Fangge's talent is undoubted, a first-class genius, but as the director and producer of the crew, they must try to save costs.
It's just that such a huge production, if you want to save money on music, it's really a bit unrealistic. After all, people nowadays are not stupid, and good things that don't take money are becoming less and less common.
And in view of the fact that there is too much music that needs to be created for the entire TV series, Qin Fangge's asking price is also quite high. His condition is 150,000 per episode, which is definitely unacceptable to Zhang Zhiwen and Wang Qingtian. There are 100 episodes in the entire TV series, which means that the crew needs to spend 15 million on music, which is too expensive, and Qin Fangge still does not agree to the commission they proposed, which means that their crew buys out the copyright of the soundtrack, and they will definitely not be able to get the copyright of the theme song interlude.
Qin Fangge was not in a hurry, and Zhao Yuhui also told them that Qin Fangge wrote songs for them, all of which were 150,000 songs. If he doesn't do this TV series, and he writes some other songs, his income will definitely not be lower than this, and he can still end up relaxed. Everyone knows that if you want to do a good job in the music of this TV series, it will definitely not work without spending twelve points of effort.
Among them, Zuo Shuqin has also made quite sufficient preparations for this, and she also pointed out that the song "Dawn of Heroes" alone, if taken out alone, can also become a generation of classics.
The crew wants to take the copyright by buying it out, but they are unwilling to pay a lot of money, it must not be such a good thing.
