30. Meet James Cameron
When meeting and talking with the world's top directors, you must choose a private space that can match his identity. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Royal Suite on the top floor of the hotel is the perfect choice.
Mina had never seen anything like this, and she had been swallowing her saliva and pretending to be calm since she took the elevator to the top floor and walked into this top-notch room.
After preparing some tea and pastries, Jin Lian handed over some basic materials to Han Yu to check, and after a while, Director Zhan and the producer arrived at the room on time.
“hey~james!”
“hey,lee!”
The little old man with white hair and white beard shook hands with Li Jianren very kindly, introduced the producer, and sat on the sofa very casually.
Then Jin Lian took on the role of spokesperson, "It's a pleasure to meet you in LA! This is the music producer I talked about in the email, Han Yu." ”
Neither side wasted time and quickly got to the point.
Director Zhan first listened to Han Yu's original works published in South Korea, and shook his head with some disappointment, saying that this type of music is everywhere in the United States, and what he wants is a kind of spiritual sound that can be combined with the picture and audio, which can be visually shocked and sublimated from the auditory...
The words of the big director really have the style of an artist, for Han Yu, who has never been in contact with film and television soundtracks, it does seem a bit empty.
That didn't bother him, though.
"These songs can be said to have been created specifically for kpop and made to cater to their market, so I think it may be wrong for you to judge my ability purely from this aspect! I have watched a lot of your film and television works, and I also like your choice of interludes and background music, and in terms of subject matter, I am a science fiction fan myself, not only Fly Into Space 2002, Terminator, Alien, Avatar, and even many other types of alien movies, or mechas, Monster anime, have had deep contact, because I love the original music very much! And in the nearly century of science fiction movies, although there have been many Chinese elements, oriental elements, but only the actor, that star, that scene, that culture, but for the reference to Chinese music, it can be said that there are very few! We have the largest group of film and television lovers in China, and I think if I can successfully create a Chinese-style music and integrate your interstellar elements, it will definitely create a new sci-fi atmosphere!"
Listening to Jin Lian's smooth translation of Han Yu's words, the expressions of Director Zhan and the producer gradually relaxed.
Scratching the beard on his chin, Director Zhan responded, "I have also considered adopting a Chinese style of music, but if you think about it, they are all blue-eyed and yellow-haired European and American actors, dark-skinned warriors and officers, and residents of Pandora Star. It's too strong!"
Han Yu continued to express his opinion.
"I'm sorry I don't agree with your idea, the first impression of aliens is, of course, that you developed countries with advanced technology have the advantage, after all, the screen images of those aliens and monsters are all created by you, so of course the soundtrack adopts European and American genres.
Just as when people think of UFOs, they think of the Roswell incident, when they think of the universe people, they think of Ultraman, and when they mention mythological characters in China, they think of Chang'e and the Monkey King, all of which are sensory impressions caused by the influence of culture and media.
But who has ever actually lived on another planet? or even heard alien music? What are their songs like? Are they also seven basic scales? Do they also sing ballads? Or play jazz? We don't know any of this, so since it's a science fiction movie, we should be bold and creative!
I don't know when they really came into contact one day, they stroked the thousand-year-old guqin, played "Flowing Water" and said to the world, I received your records!"
"Hahaha..."
Hearing this, everyone smiled.
The Voice of the Earth, the most awesome sound source record in human history, may have already been received by "people", right?
The producer whispered a few words to Director Zhan, and after seemingly getting some kind of consent, he turned to Han Yu and said, "You have watched Avatar 1, where do you think you can use Chinese music?"
Han Yu immediately replied, "The legend of the dragon is not only in the West, in China we can be said to be the descendants of the dragon, for example, when riding the Phantom Knight Flying Dragon, we can use ancient war drums to render the atmosphere, as well as the scene description of the floating island, we can completely use ancient Chinese songs and modern instrumental music to set off its mysterious and magnificent magnificence! ”
Director Zhan glanced at him meaningfully, with a slight smile on his face, "In fact, I have always been yearning for oriental mythology, and I really want to cooperate with China to make some science fiction films with new concept positioning, it can be seen that we have the same interest, but recently due to the problem of the script, the second and third parts have suspended the shooting plan, I can send you some illustration designs first, I hope it will help you and get inspiration from it." ”
Although it was not finally decided to choose Han Yu as the musician, Director Zhan's relaxation still lifted everyone's emotions.
Li Jianren signed another contract with Director Zhan on behalf of the company, and Han Yu didn't pay attention to what the content was, because at this time he just wanted to return to his studio as soon as possible, read these illustrations, and create music.
"Oba... Just now you were in Chinese and English... I didn't understand much, are we done?", sent the director and producer away, and Mina dared to speak.
Jin Lian also asked, "Brother, you are too anxious, you can start with the domestic film soundtrack, our company has plans to shoot a new film at the end of the year, just now thanks to you to refute them from that angle, otherwise even I would be a little embarrassed to be asked..."
Han Yu looked calm, took out a cigarette and lit it, and said, "Science fiction movies have been monopolized by foreign countries for nearly a century, we must grab a piece of the cake and redefine the meaning of the universe.
Li Jianren casually asked, "Is Chinese opera popular?" Do you think that the heroic plot of US imperialism can make us intervene?"
Han Yue smiled slightly, "This is just an excuse, after all, I am a layman in front of others, a primary school student, why don't I explain why people let me, a nameless Chinese, get involved?"
However, you can see the influence of Dong Chou's works around the world, as well as the wave of square dancing set off by the Phoenix Legend in China, which is enough to prove that China's pentatonic style is still very popular!"
"Haha... It turns out that brother, you are also talking serious nonsense, fooling foreign devils!"
"I was a little nervous just now! People can come because of our company's face, and if you don't need it, you have to rely on us to instill brainwashing in him..."
"Okay, okay, I promised to give you a sample to see, as for whether it can be done, it depends on your brother's play~"
"Well, I just have time after the sistar ranking period, so I will go back and practice in retreat immediately!"
"Before retreating and cultivating, let's observe and visit the scene of the US imperialists!"
"Oh, whose scene?"
“metallica!”
“... Got a ticket?"
"Of course~"
"But I can't hear metal right now... It hurts my ears!"
"Let's go, go see the excitement!"
