A sound of footsteps attracted the attention of Zhang Yimou and Lu He, and when he looked sideways, Zhang Yimou couldn't help laughing: "Why, you are here too." โ€

"Haha, you can eat at any time, but now the theme song of the movie created by Jin Yufan is the biggest and most critical thing, I can't sit still, and I don't have the heart to eat. โ€

Cheng Xiaodong walked over with everyone, first looked at the room with the door closed, then took out a cigarette and lit it, and raised his chin at the closed door: "Why, Jin Yufan's child is inside." โ€

"Hmm. Zhang Yimou nodded in response.

"Hehe, don't worry about it now. The two assistant directors Liu Guonan and Zhou Wei also came over and said to Zhang Yimou with a smile.

During this time, don't look at Zhang Yimou, the filming of the movie is very normal, but as assistant directors, the two naturally know that during this time, Director Zhang Yimou is very worried about the theme song and has always been worried about this matter, but he can't help it, and he can't ask Jin Yufan about the progress and urging.

Now, Jin Yufan's inspiration has finally come, which also makes director Zhang Yimou finally breathe a sigh of relief. Whether he is dead or alive now depends on Jin Yufan, at least it is much stronger than the previous apprehension and worry.

"Hey~~~ It's not a way to stand here and wait so stupidly, it's boring to be idle anyway, how about a gamble. Cheng Xiaodong looked around, felt a little bored, and suddenly said: "How about betting on whether the song that Jin Yufan is writing now can be approved by Director Zhang and become the theme song of the movie?"

"Okay, no problem, a hundred yuan, I bet that Jin Yufan can be recognized. Maggie Cheung was the first to respond, and at the same time chose to believe Jin Yufan without hesitation.

"Well, I'm the same. Tony Leung shrugged. Said with a nonchalant face.

"It's unlikely, in such a short period of time, it is too difficult to create the most suitable theme song for the movie, and there have been countless excellent music creators before, but basically they have not been recognized by Director Zhang. Zhang Ziyi looked at Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung. Said with some skepticism.

"Don't talk nonsense, just take the money, anyway, everyone is just playing, not a big gamble. Cheng Xiaodong didn't pay attention to Zhang Ziyi's doubts, but smiled and stretched out his hand to ask Zhang Ziyi for money.

"Ok, I think it's still unlikely, so I'm betting that the songs created by Jin Yufan won't be recognized by Director Zhang. Zhang Ziyi thought about it and finally made a decision.

Of course, this money cannot be given now. After all, everyone is filming, and it is impossible to carry money with them at any time.

Hong Kong's gambling style is very prosperous, basically as long as you are a Hong Kong person, there is basically no one who does not gamble and does not like to gamble. Whether it is the horse gambling that Hong Kong people are most concerned about, or the huge and prosperous loan shark business in Hong Kong's underground, all of them prove that Hong Kong people like to gamble.

At Cheng Xiaodong's mention, almost everyone participated. Successful and unsuccessful, the two sides are almost equal. Half against half. Even director Zhang Yimou participated, betting that the song created by Jin Yufan could be successful, which can be regarded as giving himself psychological comfort and asking for a good omen.

A large number of people outside the door were waiting for him, which Jin Yufan really didn't know, at this time Jin Yufan was in his bed, half leaning on half of the hall. Frowning, he took a pen and wrote in his notebook.

In fact, for the theme song of the movie "Hero", in fact, as early as Inner Mongolia, when he was still in the poplar forest, Jin Yufan went through a period of thinking and screening. The decision has already been made.

It's just that I don't want to frighten the world, so I deliberately delayed it for half a month, and only today I found an opportunity to say that my inspiration was coming, and it was going to explode, and the theme song of the movie was about to come out.

This time, Jin Yufan's choice of the theme song of the movie "Hero" was not Jay Chou's Chinese-style songs, on the contrary, after careful thinking and comparison, Jin Yufan finally chose Xu Song's song "Half a City of Smoke and Sand".

There are several reasons why Jin Yufan finally chose the song "Half a City of Smoke and Sand" as the theme song of "Hero".

First of all, the song "Smoke and Sand in Half a City" is indeed a classic song of very good quality, and the reason why it is a little famous, but this is definitely not because of the quality of the song, but because of Xu Song's own reasons.

In other words, if Jay Chou is asked to sing the song "Half a City of Smoke and Sand", then there is no doubt that the outside world's evaluation of the song "Half a City of Smoke and Sand" will definitely be a classic Chinese style evaluation.

This is normal, the same song, different people sing it, the effect will naturally be very different.

For example, the song "Love a Little Little", sung by the original singer Mo Yanlin, the effect is very average. But in the end, with the two big names Wang Leehom and Zhang Ziyi, for the movie "Very Lucky", they made the theme song of this song, and the two sang it in person, so the effect was completely different.

Even some netizens and fans sighed that Wang Leehom made another classic, but they didn't know that the song "Love a Little Little" had been created by Mo Yanlin as early as a few years ago, and even sang it by herself.

The reason why "Half a City of Smoke and Sand" is not as good as Jay Chou's Chinese-style songs, to put it bluntly, is because Xu Song, the creator and singer, is not as popular, influential and famous as Jay Chou.

In fact, that's all, in terms of the quality of the song itself, the song "Half a City of Smoke and Sand" can definitely be called a classic Chinese-style song.

Secondly, it is also the biggest reason why Jin Yufan values it most and chose the song "Half City Smoke and Sand" as the theme song of the movie, that is, the lyrics of the song "Half City Smoke and Sand".

That's right, it's the lyrics, because the lyrics of the song "Half a City of Smoke and Sand", in Jin Yufan's opinion, are too well written, not the kind of words that are good and beautiful, but the lyrics of the song "Half City Smoke and Sand" are too compatible with the movie "Hero", basically many of the lyrics are describing the thoughts and reactions of the main characters in the movie "Hero".

Because he had carefully recalled the song "Smoke and Sand in Half a City" before, for Jin Yufan, the creation was completely copying, and it didn't take much time at all.

However, Jin Yufan estimates that now the door must be blocked by director Zhang Yimou with a large number of people, no matter how he says it, he must be low-key, he can be demonic, but definitely not too inhuman.

Therefore. After spending a few minutes composing the song, Kim Yu-beom put down the paper and pen in his hand, rested his head on his hands, and began to think carefully about his exhibition and plans for next year's exhibition in South Korea.

Presently. There is basically nothing left on the Chinese side, and the work is over, so Kim Yufan's attention is naturally focused on next year's exhibition in South Korea.

This can't be careless, after all, in Jin Yufan's plan, next year is the most critical year, the last year to completely lay a solid foundation, and he will leave the bustling city the year after next at the latest. Went to service according to his own plan.

Service is a fatal blow to an artist's career, although Jin Yufan is very confident, he also firmly believes that even after service, he can get up quickly from scratch.

But it's too hard to get up from scratch, if you can, lay a good foundation to make it faster and more convenient for yourself to get up. Wouldn't that save you a lot of time and yes?

Jin Yufan is not a person who is afraid of trouble and things, but that doesn't mean it. Jin Yufan is a person who likes troubles and things. It can be avoided, it can be avoided, and if it is easier for him to ask for freedom, of course Jin Yufan will not refuse.

In an instant, Jin Yufan fell into thinking, and Jin Yufan understood anyway. Director Zhang Yimou At this time, as long as they don't open their mouths and go out, then they definitely don't dare to open the door and walk in and "disturb" their creation.

Before I knew it, more than half an hour had passed. Seeing that Jin Yufan's door was closed, there was no sound, and there was no rhythm at the end of the creation, Maggie Cheung and the others couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"Hey~~~ It's been more than half an hour, why hasn't Jin Yufan come out yet, does it take so long to compose a song. Maggie Cheung looked at Jet Li beside her and asked with a puzzled expression.

In this regard, Jet Li shrugged his shoulders very calmly, saying that my buddy is also a pure actor, and I don't know anything about music.

"Hehe, be patient, it's not so easy to write a song, especially if it fits the content and theme of our film. You know, we usually want to insert a certain time period into the movie for an interlude, and if necessary, it can take hours to make a slight change, let alone create a completely new song. โ€

Hearing Maggie Cheung's complaints, Director Zhang Yimou was very calm, nodded at Maggie Cheung with a smile, and signaled that the other party should not be impatient.

Director Zhang Yimou did not deliberately pretend to be calm to appease Maggie Cheung, but really did not have the slightest impatience and anxiety, you must know that Zhang Yimou is a director, and he is also a big director.

Generally speaking, the director's psychological element is very good, and he can endure loneliness and control his temper.

Otherwise, a shot can never be filmed, and after a few times, the director who has a bad temper will not be tempered early, how can this movie continue to be filmed.

Even if some directors are well-known tyrants, they will scold at every turn when they encounter this kind of situation, but this is only in terms of character, once filmed again, this tyrant director definitely does not have a little impatience and irritability, on the contrary, he is still the same as before, serious, careful and patient shooting.

An hour has passed, not to mention other people at this time, even Director Zhang Yimou is a little impatient. After such a long time, there is still no movement in the room, what is going on, what is the situation, Jin Yufan at least gave some sound and reaction, so that everyone knows a little bit and understands.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yimou couldn't help but ask Lu He beside him: "Usually Jin Yufan writes songs, does it take so long?"

"That's not necessary, Jin Yufan has a strong creative ability, and the inspiration and talent are really top-notch, generally creating songs, the fastest few minutes of lyrics and songs can be completely created, and if it is slow, it will come out in half an hour at most, and the quality can be guaranteed. โ€

Speaking of this, Lu He also looked at the closed door with a puzzled expression, and couldn't help but say: "Perhaps, it's because Yufan attaches too much importance to this movie, or because the director has a lot of pressure on Jin Yufan's expectations, and Jin Yufan wants to do his best." Well~~~ Maybe all aspects of the storyline and background of the movie are also in Jin Yufan's creative considerations, which prolongs the time of Jin Yufan's creation. โ€

"Ah, that's how it is!" After listening to Lu He's explanation, the people around him suddenly realized that this was the case.

But director Zhang Yimou was a little embarrassed and embarrassed. I didn't expect that I would unknowingly put so much pressure on Jin Yufan. To be honest, director Zhang Yimou is still very optimistic about Jin Yufan, and he also has a good impression, and director Zhang Yimou doesn't want Jin Yufan to forcibly create under such pressure.

In case something goes wrong. I was crushed by the huge pressure, and I had no inspiration in the future, maybe I was simply crazy, and movies and novels were not acted and written like this, so my sin was great.

Thinking of this, Director Zhang Yimou wanted to knock on the door and walk in, but as soon as he turned around, he was pulled by Lu He on the side without even raising his hand.

"Director, I know what you think. I also know how much you care about Yu Fan. But I want to say, don't disturb Yu Fan's creation, and Yu Fan is not as fragile as you think. For music creation, this is definitely Jin Yufan's greatest talent and strength, as well as his greatest pride and self-esteem. If you interrupt Kim Yu-beom's creation this time, not to mention that maybe the most suitable theme song for the movie will disappear like this, and in a sense, it is also a distrust of Kim Yu-beom. still distrusts Kim Woo-beom's most important music creation, which will make Kim Woo-beom sad. I feel very uncomfortable. โ€

"Eh~~~ Well, in that case, let's continue to wait, at most another hour, if Jin Yufan hasn't come out in an hour, then in order to avoid possible danger. I'm going to break down anyway. After listening to Lu He's persuasion, Zhang Yimou thought about it and nodded in agreement, but in the end he still said his insistence.

The reason why Jin Yufan hasn't come out for so long is very simple, that is, Jin Yufan is too absorbed in thinking about things. Overthought and didn't notice the time.

"Nima, it's been almost two hours. But Jin Yufan came back to his senses and looked at the time on his phone, and now almost two hours have passed, and he can't help but curse secretly.

Two hours have passed, if nothing else, there must be director Zhang Yimou with a large number of big names waiting for him outside the door, even if the big names are gone, but at least with the character of director Zhang Yimou, he will definitely continue to wait outside the door.

Thinking of this, Jin Yufan couldn't help but feel up, in this world, who can make director Zhang Yimou and a large number of China's top actors obediently wait outside their doors for two hours, and they don't dare to be impatient, let alone disturb themselves.

Sรจ is returned to sรจ, but Jin Yufan also knows that it's time to show up, otherwise, wait a minute, the old man Zhang Yimou is completely explosive, in case he is not busy creating at all, then there will be a big trouble.

Thinking of this, Jin Yufan got up from the bed, first reached out and grabbed his head indiscriminately for a while, making a mess of his head, and matched it with a haggard look, ready to give everyone a feeling that he was really hard, entangled, and overconsumed in order to create songs.

"Click!" the door opened, attracting the attention of everyone outside the door.

When everyone saw Jin Yufan, they couldn't help but be taken aback, only to see Jin Yufan's unkempt head, weakness, and a haggard look. Reminiscent of the fact that Jin Yufan is creating the theme song of the movie, so Jin Yufan is now like this, and the whole person gives everyone the first feeling, that is, it is really not easy for Jin Yufan to create this song, he has suffered a lot, and has spent a lot of thought and effort.

"Ah, Jin Yufan, what's wrong with you, it's okay, it doesn't matter!" As soon as he saw Jin Yufan's appearance, Director Zhang Yimou couldn't help but be taken aback, could it be that it was really so difficult to create a song, and it forced Jin Yufan to such a point.

I was weak, and it was obvious that I had put all my effort into creating this song, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

Don't think that creating songs is just a matter of using your brain and hands, and that it doesn't consume much of your body, that's really a big mistake. In the case of full concentration and high mental concentration, the effect on the body is also very great.

The unkempt head, it is obvious that it was not smooth sailing when creating, so Jin Yufan couldn't help it, and grabbed his head to think.

The look is haggard, which is obviously the result of a high degree of mental concentration and excessive mental effect.

"It's okay director, fortunately, the mission is not dishonored, the song is finally out, I think this song is really suitable for the movie "Hero", if the director still doesn't approve of it and thinks it's inappropriate, then I really have no choice. โ€

handed over the song to director Zhang Yimou, Jin Yufan half leaned against the door, paused after saying a few words, and looked like he was about to sacrifice with less air in and more out of breath.

"Okay, okay, don't say anything, you don't need to do anything now, what you need to do more now is to rest, rest and rest, you must rest well, don't have anything happen to your body, as for other things, when you are rested, we will talk about it." โ€

Seeing Jin Yufan's appearance, Director Zhang Yimou hurriedly comforted and persuaded him, for fear that Jin Yufan would suddenly fall, and it would be a big trouble.

"Well, in that case, then I'll go sleep first, and now I'm tired. Jin Yufan also followed Zhang Yimou's meaning and said suddenly.

"Well, it's okay, you rest first, and when it's time for supper, I'll call you for supper, you can sleep for a few hours first." Director Zhang Yimou hurriedly nodded and said.

Jin Yufan was no longer polite, gave everyone a tired smile, and then turned around and went back to the room, without even closing the door, just fell asleep on the bed.

"Well~~~ Let Jin Yufan have a good rest, if you have anything and needs, come to me. Finally, after glancing at Jin Yufan, Zhang Yimou explained to Lu He, and Lu He naturally nodded hurriedly to indicate that he knew.

"Hey~~~ Director, how is this song created by Yu Fan, you can take a look first. Under the leadership of director Zhang Yimou, everyone left Jin Yufan's room and returned to the filming venue.

Just returned to the filming location, Maggie Cheung couldn't help but ask, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Eh~~~ This song ......" Hearing Maggie Cheung's words, Director Zhang Yimou picked up the song in his hand and looked at it carefully, and then smiled bitterly: "Eh~~~ Actually, I don't understand the song, I think no one at the scene understands, looking at it, we really have to wait for Jin Yufan to wake up and sing it to me in person, so that we can know how this song is." โ€

In an instant, everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, completely dumbfounded. (To be continued......)
