Chapter 928: The Silk Road
Of course, Zhang Xiaoyang still has to examine Qin Fangge's ability, although everyone says that he is a rare musical genius. But every musical genius is good at different genres, and those who do well in history may not be able to be comfortable with cultural genres.
Zhang Zhiwen also knew his worries, and teased him with a smile, "Otherwise, you have waited a lot, anyway, it has been filming for so long, it is not too much time!"
Zhang Xiaoyang smiled awkwardly, and Chen Yumo had more confidence in Qin Fangge than in himself, "Director Zhang, you can rest assured, I can put my words aside, there is no music in this world that my junior brother can't take." ”
Everyone didn't laugh at Chen Yumo's practice of putting gold on his face in disguise, but Qin Fangge was more modest, "You have to look at the information and the documentary itself to know!"
Chen Yumo laughed, "It's no problem for him to say this! I think the most important thing you need to do now is to convince the producer first, you can't let people make music at a loss! It's not easy to make a living in this industry now, if everyone doesn't give you a chance, there really won't be any good music!"
Qin Anguo also said, "That's why I said that Qin Fang's songs are commendable, if he goes to mix in the pop music scene, he doesn't have to worry about money or anything, but people have to be willful for their dreams, right!"
If you have their help to speak, you don't need Qin Fangge and Xi Wanqing to speak in person, this is also what everyone knows, many people who engage in art don't like to talk about money, but if you give less, it's definitely not okay, it's insulting!
Zhang Xiaoyang naturally knows this, and he came to Qin Fangge, and he also made sufficient preparations, "As long as the music is done well, even if I pay for it myself, I will not treat a rare musical genius like Qin Fangge badly." ”
Zhang Zhiwen also smiled and said, "I really don't need you to be so sad, now you just need to say Qin Fangge's name, and they will know the value." ”
Chen Yumo said more directly, "With him, it is not a problem to increase attention and ratings! Now everyone is saying that Qin Fangge's production must be a high-quality product!"
Qin Fangge was really a little embarrassed to say it, and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Chen blew the cowhide too much, what should I do if I can't come back!"
Chen Yumo hahale, "I'm giving you a little pressure in disguise, it's all needed, right!"
Zhang Zhiwen also asked Zhang Xiaoyang how many episodes of the Silk Road documentary there were this time, and about the theme of the Silk Road, he has made many documentaries alone, but this is also the charm of the Silk Road.
"It's not as good as you, there are only ten episodes in total!" Zhang Xiaoyang replied.
"Ten episodes is really a lot for a documentary. Chen Yumo said, "I read the report that the budget is about 30 million?"
Zhang Xiaoyang nodded and said that it was almost like this, and everyone present also knew that for the documentary, the investment of 30 million is already a lot, in terms of scale and extent, it is about the same as Zhang Zhiwen's investment of 300 million in the new version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Chen Yumo, the senior brother, is really thinking about the junior brother, and also told Zhang Xiaoyang that Qin Fangge's price when he took over their TV series music, as told the outside world, was 15 million. According to this ratio, about 1.5 million is more appropriate for this documentary. He also knows the virtues of those production investors, and if there are more, it is basically unrealistic.
Chen Yumo helped him calculate very clearly, "It's only 150,000 yuan in such an episode, and he can write so many pop songs! You know, ordinary TV and movie Qin Fang songs are not accepted." ”
Even Qin Anguo said that this is definitely a friendship price, and if the documentary is made well, it can become a good story like the current hit new version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
With the cooperation between Qin Fangge and director Zhang Zhiwen in front, Zhang Xiaoyang's documentary music is actually not much to say. It can also be said that he has made a good start for Qin Fangge, and he will not lower his value.
The key point that Zhang Xiaoyang needs to pay attention to is whether Qin Fangge can make the kind of music he wants. Now that the filming has ended, he has managed to follow the camera crew to experience all kinds of customs and customs. But it doesn't matter, Chen Yumo said, "The composer's feelings are very sensitive and delicate, and he is especially good at excavating the beauty in life, and it is enough to have all kinds of images for him! I think their thoughts can travel through time and space." Of course, if you have the opportunity, it is best to experience it for yourself. ”
Of course, Qin Fangge still insisted on watching the information and the documentary itself first. He has a certain understanding of the Silk Road, and in another time and space, he has also watched documentaries such as the Silk Road Hexi Corridor and other related documentaries, but he is a little vague about the content, and the most impressive thing is the soundtrack of domestic and foreign musicians. Whether it's Yanni or Kitaro, Cheng Chi or Xu Li, the music they create is quite wonderful. To put it bluntly, if he wants to bring these music that has been tested by the audience and time, to Zhang Xiaoyang and the crew, it will definitely not be a problem to pass.
Needless to say, he is definitely not as complete and detailed as the information collected by Zhang Xiaoyang and others specifically for the filming of this documentary. Moreover, he also needs to decide which aspects to start with according to the situation of the documentary. Relatively speaking, the creation of documentary music is still much more free than the previous new version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Qin Fangge is also the type that does not do it, and if you want to do it, you have to do the best, and he doesn't want to smash his signboard.
This is naturally not a problem, Zhang Xiaoyang is also really anxious, and asked Qin Fangge when he is free, it is best to start tomorrow. If he wants some information, he can send it to him first when he gets back at night, as long as he doesn't pass it on. Of course, there is nothing to leak out of the information or something, so it should be popularized knowledge. But if you watch a documentary, in order to prevent leaks, you still have to go to Zhang Xiaoyang's studio to watch it.
Qin Fangge nodded and said yes, if you can cooperate, you can cooperate, and if you can't cooperate, don't delay each other's time.
These two serious matters can be regarded as finalized, and the speed is still quite fast, in Qin Anguo's opinion, it is indeed the case.
Zhang Zhiwen and Chen Yumo are used to it, and if they ask Xi Wanqing to come over, they also have the idea of discussing the filming of the Xiaoao Jianghu TV series together. Chen Yumo and director Zhang Zhiwen are old partners, and the soundtrack of Xiaoao Jianghu must be handled by Qin Fangge, but they also have to find someone to do specific things, including such as the dubbing and soundtrack processing in the later stage.
The launching ceremony of Xiaoao Jianghu, including the deployment of publicity resources in the back, etc., has a lot of things, and Xi Wanqing is also happy to participate in it, so Qin Fangge is too lazy to care.
Qin Fangge will talk to Zhang Xiaoyang about their follow-up affairs first, mainly to introduce the content of his documentary on the Silk Road, so that he can have a preliminary concept and idea first.
Zhang Xiaoyang also talked about the general content, each of the ten episodes talks about a separate place, the first is the Kingdom of Loulan, mentioning this, what Qin Fangge can think of is the famous Loulan bride, and the bold words that Loulan will never be returned if it is not broken. The latter content includes the memory of Turpan, the prairie, the country of Qiuzi, Hotan, Dunhuang, Heishuicheng, the Hexi Corridor, Kashgar, and Chang'an.
Each place on the Silk Road, if taken out alone, can be made into a book, or it can be made into a series of documentaries or TV series. But here, it can only be represented by the most essential places, which are also the most representative places on the Silk Road.
Through the communication with Zhang Xiaoyang, Qin Fangge also had a preliminary impression, and it can be seen that Zhang Xiaoyang, who is like a few treasures, has also invested too much effort and energy in this documentary. It's not surprising that he's known for making documentaries, and the standard is consistently high. Most of the documentaries produced by CCTV are high-level works of conscience, of course, "Approaching Science" should not be counted in the documentary, it simply lowers the lower limit of IQ.
Zhang Xiaoyang did work very hard in the preparation of materials, coupled with the Silk Road, which is in line with the country's grand strategy, he and the crew are also working harder when they are doing it.
And Zhang Xiaoyang still suggested Qin Fangge, "If you are free, you can revisit the Silk Road, although I can't accompany you, but it is no problem to help you formulate a detailed travel route." ”
Qin Fangge thanked him with a smile, he really had such an idea.
Not only the Silk Road, but also the splendid culture scattered along this road. Dunhuang Flying Dance, the ancient capital of Chang'an, Yumen Pass, Yellow Sand Hundred Battles wear gold armor, do not break Loulan will never return, on the road of the Silk Road, carrying too many memories and thoughts of the Chinese.
He also exchanged contact information with Zhang Xiaoyang, and made an appointment to go directly to his studio tomorrow, he planned to do the first episode of Loulan Kingdom's music first. This completely depends on Qin Fangge himself, and there is not much music library in his memory to refer to. But he himself is quite confident in this, for Qin Fangge, as long as he has a creative direction.
Zhang Xiaoyang said that when he went back, he would send him some of the information first, so that Qin Fangge would pay attention to it.
During this period, Zuo Mengfeng also came over to join in the fun, and he was very happy to learn that they had settled the matter so quickly. In his opinion, this is also a completely win-win situation, which can somewhat alleviate the embarrassing situation of making music without making money. Not only Qin Fangge faced this problem, but his baby daughter Zuo Shuqin was similar, last time he followed Qin Fangge to make the music of the new version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms TV series and made some money. They don't watch a lot of performances this semester, but they are basically public welfare, and it is good to have no income and a little subsidy.
Everyone chatted for a while, and the time was past the early morning, and the wine was about to close. The next day there was still something to do, so they didn't make much waves, and each of them retreated first to rest.
And Qin Fangge originally made an appointment to send Chen Yushan and them to the airport, so she could only call Jiang Na to do it, Jiang Na smiled on the phone and said that there was no problem, she would go to the courtyard early tomorrow.
Xi Wanqing went out of the bar with him and whispered to him if he was going home or what.
"I told Sister Chen that she doesn't have to wait for me, go to you!" Qin Fangge replied.
Xi Wanqing naturally couldn't ask for this, but she still drove over one after another.
When she was at the bar, Qin Fangge sent a brief message to Lin Baoqing, and also asked her to rest early without waiting for him to call and say good night.
When they arrived at Xi Wanqing's house, the two of them were there this night, and the traces of last night's madness disappeared, and all that was left was warmth. Qin Fangge didn't have any plans to do anything bad, he just wanted to accompany her, Zhang Xiaoyang quickly sent him a message, saying that the information had been sent to his mailbox, and asked him to check it.
Qin Fangge used Xi Wanqing's computer to check, she was standing behind him, he didn't forget to tease her, "Qing'er, how tired you are from standing, it's better to sit on me." ”
As a result, Xi Wanqing only gave him a roll of the eyes, "You take care of it first, I'll take a bath first!"
He downloaded the information, or first look at the information of the Loulan Kingdom, this is located on the Silk Road, the once glorious kingdom is actually a tragic character, the national strength is not strong, so he can only be a ******, swinging between the Han and the Xiongnu, the story during this period alone is enough to make a documentary. In the Tang Dynasty, the ancient kingdom of Loulan still existed, and "Huangsha wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned if it is not broken" is said here, but the two warring sides are the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. Later, the ancient kingdom of Loulan mysteriously disappeared, and the specific reason is still unclear, and we have to wait for the results of further investigation and research.
In addition to the ruins of Loulan, the most well-known is the corpse of the Loulan woman, that is, the legendary Princess Loulan, or Queen Luobu.
Qin Fangge is also quite curious, from what angle Zhang Xiaoyang will choose and what content to shoot such a mysterious country with a long history.
This also reminded him of Xi Murong's poem "Loulan Bride" in the past, and he also pondered that if he could compose music, I believe it would be a good choice.
When Xi Wanqing came over after taking a shower and wearing a bath towel, Qin Fangge was typing this poem into the computer, and she smiled and said, "You still make your own reading notes!"
Qin Fangge smiled and didn't say anything, Xi Wanqing took a closer look, only to find that it was not actually a reading note, but a romantic poem. She pulled it down with her own hands and looked, "Loulan bride."
My lover
Tears were in my eyes
Bury me
With Jewel**
Wrap my smooth body
Then with a trembling hand, the bird feathers will be removed
Stuck in my satin-like hair
He will gently close my eyes
Knowing that he is in my eyes
The final image
Sprinkle flowers all over my chest
At the same time spilled
and his love and sorrow
Sunset
Loulan is bustling
My love is gone alone
Bequeath me the darkness of eternity
and eternal sweetness and sorrow
And I will never forgive you
Wake me up so recklessly
Expose me to no longer acquaintance
Above the desolation
Knock me and smash me
Once such a gentle heart
Only the slanting sun remains
At that time, the sun was setting
Whoever has whom
You can bury me again
Give me back my thousand-year-old dream
I should still be the bride of Loulan."
There was no flowery rhetoric in the whole article, but Xi Wanqing felt that it touched her weak heart.
