The big strings are noisy like a torrential rain, and the small strings are like whispers. Noisy and staggered, big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate.

Wang Zheng himself does not have many musical cells to speak of, but he was fascinated by a pipa piece played by Hu Weili, who is nearly 50 years old on the podium. The big strings are long and noisy like a storm, the small strings are slow and delicate like someone whispering, and the noisy and cutting sounds are played intertwined, just like the beautiful sound of large beads and small beads falling on jade plates. On the other hand, Liang Kun on the side, under this wonderful movement, looked drowsy.

Later, he learned from Zhang Xun, general manager of China Co-Production Film Company, that he was teaching at art colleges and universities such as China Conservatory of Music and Yenching Film Academy.

In order to see Hu Weili's skills, Wang Zheng did not directly step forward to express his intentions, but mixed into the class with Liangkun and listened to his solo pipa music.

"All the skills are due to diligence, diligent study and hard practice of real skills, the same is true of national music, only the starting point is high and low, there is no shortcut, hard work can make perfect, no opportunistic shortcuts, students must remember, now after class!"

At the end of the song, Hu Weili said a few words of encouragement to the students, then packed up the piano case and walked out of the classroom. Seeing this, Wang Zheng stabbed the drowsy Liangkun and hurriedly followed.

"Master Hu, please stay!"

Hu Weili, who was nearly 50 years old, had a mustache under his hand, and when he heard the shouting, he hurriedly turned around, helped the flat glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said to Wang Zheng and the others who chased him: "Two classmates, but what do you not understand?"

Wang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and explained with a smile: "Master Hu misunderstood, we are not students of the Academy of Arts, and we came today to ask Master Hu to be the soundtrack of our movie." ”

"Oh. Hu Weili nodded and said, "Then you must be students of Nortel, I should have supported young people in making movies, but the recent courses are relatively intensive, I'm afraid there is no spare time, it's better to wait for your movie to finish and come to me!"

It seems that Hu Weili regards the two of them as students who have just graduated from Nortel's directing department, no wonder he has such a misunderstanding, it is really Wang Zheng and the two look too young, and the youngest fifth-generation directors in the mainland are also over 30 years old, and representative figures such as Zhang Yimou are all in their thirties this year.

"What do you mean?

Wang Zheng didn't have time to continue to explain, and Liang Kun on the side was not happy, and questioned Hu Weili in Cantonese.

Seeing that the other party came out of a vernacular, Hu Weili realized that he had misunderstood, looked at Wang Zheng and the two again, and asked, "I don't know who the two are?"

Wang Zheng glared at the mouthy Liang Kun, and explained with a smile: "Hello Master Hu, I am Wang Zheng, working as a director in Xiangjiang, as I said just now, I came here to ask Master Hu to be the soundtrack of our film!"

"Wang Zheng?" Hu Weili chewed on the name a few times, as if remembering something, and asked with a surprised face: "You are Wang Zheng, the youngest best director at the Academy Awards?"

Wang Zheng also looked surprised, I don't know why Hu Weili, who lives in the mainland, knows that he has won the best director, but the accident is an accident, so he still nodded and said: "I am Wang Zheng, Master Hu knows me?"

Seeing Wang Zheng nodding in acknowledgement, Hu Weili hurriedly held his hand and said with a smile: "Although I don't know Director Wang, I have heard Director Wang's name more than once, it can be said that he has been famous for a long time, this is not the place to talk, why don't you go to my office and talk about it?"

"Master Hu is polite, please lead the way!"

Suddenly inviting Hu Weili to be the soundtrack in the play would seem a little abrupt, Wang Zheng thought that he would refuse, after all, he did not have the slightest reputation in the mainland, if he really heard about himself, then this invitation would be much easier.

When he came to Hu Weili's small office, he hurriedly found tea to help Wang Zheng and the two make a cup of hot tea, and when the tea fragrance overflowed, he explained with a smile: "Although I have been living in the mainland, I was born in Xiangjiang, and my brother has been working in Xiangjiang, and I am quite familiar with the news of Xiangjiang in the past few years.

It turned out that there was still this relationship in it, Wang Zheng smiled modestly: "Master Hu has a good reputation, what genius is not genius, I just have better luck!" After a pause, he asked, "I wonder if Master Hu is interested in my invitation just now?"

Hu Weili did not answer directly, but said: "Don't hide it from Director Wang, my brother has always wanted me to work in Xiangjiang, for which he also wrote letters of introduction to TVB and ATV, and my wife went to Xiangjiang not long ago, and now works as a piano teacher in a ballet school." ”

Wang Zheng heard the meaning of Hu Weili's words, and said with a smile: "As long as Master Hu is willing to serve as the soundtrack artist in my next two plays, it is a trivial matter to go to TVB to work, and there is no need for your brother to write a letter of introduction. ”

Hearing Wang Zheng directly quote a high price of one million, Hu Weili, who was drinking tea, was choked and coughed, and asked uncertainly: "Ahem, one million?"

Wang Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, one million is only a five-year basic salary, and for each soundtrack and a play, Master Hu can also get a bonus, and the amount of the bonus is determined by the box office quality of the film." In the case of completing his own work, Zheng Fei Xingwei does not restrict Master Hu from taking on other private jobs, if Master Hu has no opinion, the 1 million can be paid in a lump sum when signing the contract. ”

With such generous conditions, Hu Weili couldn't believe it after hearing it, you must know that he is now a teacher at the China Conservatory of Music, Yenching Academy of Arts, Yenching Film Academy, and three colleges and universities at the same time, and his monthly salary adds up to only a few hundred RMB.

After digesting it for a while, Hu Weili said: "I have three children studying in Toronto, and for their high tuition fees, I am a teacher in three colleges and universities at the same time, and my wife also went to work in Xiangjiang alone. However, I don't think I deserve such a high salary, if I go to work at Zhengfei Xingwei Film Company, I will ask Director Wang to consider one or two, and then it is not too late to talk about the specific salary. ”

This is the first time Wang Zheng has encountered someone who thinks that the salary is too much, the more Hu Weili is like this, the more he wants to give, he smiled and said: "Master Hu, don't be presumptuous, the mainland film market is still in its infancy, but the film market in Xiangjiang has the prospect of soaring, a high-box office movie can bring at least 10 million Hong Kong dollars of profit to the film company, and a high-box office movie, the soundtrack is the foundation." In this way, the price I opened is cheap, and I just hope that when Master Hu moves to the Hong Kong River, don't think that the salary I give is too small!"

After listening to Wang Zheng's profit analysis of the Xiangjiang film market, Hu Weili's face was relieved, but he asked another question in his heart: "What Director Wang just said is only the role played by excellent soundtrack masters, and I have never entered the Xiangjiang film industry, nor have I proven myself, why does Director Wang have such confidence in me?"

Wang Zheng laughed, a little arrogant, and said: "In Xiangjiang, as long as I pick the actors, all of them are popular, as long as the scripts I write are all popular, and the soundtrack master I fancy is the same, as long as Master Hu joins Zhengfei Xingwei, I can't find a reason not to succeed." ”

Perhaps infected by Wang Zheng's confident aura, Hu Weili did not refute, but stretched out his right hand to Wang Zheng again and said: "I'm very happy to join Zheng Fei Xingwei, I wonder when Director Wang's film filmed in the mainland will start?"

Wang Zheng held his hand and said with a smile: "Start shooting immediately, this play is different from other films, I hope that Master Hu will match the music for each scene in advance, so that the actors will have a stronger sense of substitution, our first scene will be filmed in Guilin, I don't know if Master Hu can start immediately?"

"Although I was in a hurry, I had already planned to go to Xiangjiang for development in the future, so I was given a day to deal with the handover work, and then I could start immediately. Since he has decided to join Zhengfei Xingwei, Hu Weili behaved very simply.

With the addition of soundtrack master Hu Weili, Wang Zheng did not delay much, and after recruiting a group of dragon sets and supporting actors in Yanjing Film Factory, he began to set off towards Guilin, accompanied by several swordsmanship masters recommended by Zhang Xun.

Before the start-up, in addition to Wang Guxian, Wang Zheng, Guan Zhilin, Liang Chaowei and other leading actors must receive swordsmanship training.

There are many scenes in the drama "The Sword of the Third Young Master", and Wang Zheng expects that the filming locations will travel to most of China, and in order to complete the filming as soon as possible, all the work will have to be completed overtime.

The reason why it is so urgent is because Gu Daxia does not have much time left, and if history has not shifted, he will say goodbye to this world in September.
