Chapter 152: A Song
Zhang Wentian has been dormant for nearly ten years, and he is still a well-known director at home and even internationally.
Therefore, the comeback work of this great director will inevitably attract the attention of all parties, even if there are a few precedents for loss-making blockbusters, with his fame and connections, it is easy to attract enough investment.
The stars in the film and television industry in the circle, plus the stakeholders of investors, will inevitably want to compete for roles in this new film, even if it is three or four matches, they will have to fight for blood.
It doesn't matter if the film loses money, Zhang Wentian's works have always had a tradition of going abroad to participate in exhibitions, and he has won many awards, who doesn't want to walk the red carpet at those high-profile film festivals?
So even if the salary is reduced, many people are willing to brush it up.
As a newcomer who has just debuted, and he is also an independent artist and a singer, Lu Chen is not qualified to participate in such a game, and his influence and connections in the circle are still too small.
If it weren't for today's coincidence, he impressed the great director with an absolutely classic song "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", even if he ran for a trick, he might not be able to get it!
And now, Zhang Wentian took the initiative to give Lu Chen a small supporting role, which was a surprise!
Lu Chen has experienced three lives in the dream world, among which Mo Ran is a powerful actor, but unfortunately his star luck is not good, he has always been a supporting role, and he has never been popular.
This life that belongs to Mo Ran makes Lu Chen have a different kind of feelings for actors, and he once made a vow in his heart to realize Mo Ran's long-cherished wish in his own world and become a real protagonist.
But the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, the road has to be walked step by step, it is easy to pull the egg if you run too fast, and Lu Chen does not hurt the egg.
As a result, he made pop music the beginning of his career. Wait until the accumulation is enough before developing into film and television.
It was precisely because of such a good attitude that Lu Chen didn't think about taking the opportunity to ask Zhang Wentian for a role just now.
The script, crew, and actors are all in place, isn't it embarrassing for you to try to shoehorn it in?
It would be too stupid to provoke Zhang Wentian to be disgusted.
can set his work as the theme song of the movie, Lu Chen is already satisfied.
But that's how wonderful things are in the world. He has no desires and no desires, and Zhang Wentian wants to return the favor in turn.
Even if it was a small supporting role, Lu Chen was overjoyed and agreed without thinking.
Isn't it stupid to be pretentious and reserved at this time?
Lu Chen's joy and excitement made Zhang Wentian smile--that's right.
If Lu Chen could remain calm and calm in such a situation, then he really had to wonder if the former was the reincarnation of some old monster, or if his reputation had declined to the point where he could not impress a young new artist.
The great director nodded and said: "Let's talk about the script and the performance contract when the copyright of the work is transferred." Your scene is filmed later, so you have plenty of time to learn some acting skills and perform well!"
A singer is an actor, unless he is from a professional background, acting skills are a big problem, although Lu Chen's role is very few, but he can't mix it up with his face sloppily.
Whether it is a big coffee or a newcomer, Zhang Wentian's requirements are strict and serious without discrimination.
Lu Chen said happily: "No problem. I'm going to try to learn. ”
has Mo Ran's life memory, and he has the ability to control the protagonist. A small supporting role is naturally hand-to-hand.
However, in front of Zhang Wentian, Lu Chen couldn't show too much confidence, and it was right to be modest.
Zhang Wentian nodded and said: "As for the arrangement of this song, there is also the soundtrack of the movie"
Lu Chen hurriedly said: "In terms of arrangement and soundtrack, the ability of the juniors is not enough. ”
What are you kidding, the soundtrack of a blockbuster movie is a big project. He's still very self-aware.
This aspect is Lu Chen's biggest weakness, so he has to go to Jingyin to audit and learn and accumulate knowledge.
Zhang Wentian smiled: "I just can't leave it to you, but as the creator of the theme song, I hope you can provide advice when necessary, and I plan to let Professor Gao complete the arrangement and soundtrack." ”
Ahh
Lu Chen suddenly blushed. He's thinking too much - to be calm, to be calm!
At this time, out of the corner of Lu Chen's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Qin Qing next to him pursing his lips and snickering.
It's a little girlishly cute.
Lu Chen could only smile bitterly.
The arrangement and soundtrack of the movie are very important, and it is impossible for Zhang Wentian to let him do it anyway.
After all, his qualifications are too shallow and he has no experience.
Zhang Wentian gave Lu Chen a small supporting role, which meant compensation, and it was Lu Chen who provided the theme song.
Gao Yue smiled and said, "It just so happens that Lu Chen is going to come to Jingyin to listen to the class, and it is also very convenient for us to communicate together." ”
He was very understanding and resolved Lu Chen's little embarrassment.
Lu Chen said gratefully: "Professor Gao, I want to learn more from you!"
Isn't this another chance for him?
Since Zhang Wentian handed over this work to Gao Yue, who is also a professor of the Jingyin Composition Department, his experience must be extremely rich, and if he can get the careful guidance of the other party, then learning relevant knowledge will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Zhang Wentian encouraged: "Lu Chen's work gives me confidence, and I will definitely compete for the best music award when I win the Capital International Film Festival next year!"
The Capital International Film Festival, the Huhai International Film Festival and the Golden Peony Film Festival are the three major film festivals in China.
Founded in 2000 and sponsored by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and the Beijing Municipal Government, the Capital International Film Festival is an international, professional, innovative, open, high-end, market-oriented large-scale film theme event, which enjoys a high reputation in the industry for its authority and professionalism.
Since 2010, the Capital International Film Festival aims to integrate domestic and international film resources and build a display and exchange trading platform, which has been held once a year since 2010 and has set up an award unit, including 10 awards, including Best Film Award, Best Director Award, Best Actor Award, Best Actress Award, Best Supporting Actor Award, Best Supporting Actress Award, Best Screenplay Award, Best Cinematography Award, Best Music Award and Best Visual Effects Award!
The Golden Tripod Award of the Capital International Film Festival is still very high and has a certain influence in the world.
Zhang Wentian pointed to the Golden Tripod Award, showing his strong confidence!
Saying that the Best Music Award is nothing more than a reason, Best Film and Best Director are what he really wants to pursue.
At his level, it doesn't matter whether he can win an award or not. What matters is the spirit of getting back up!
Zhang Wentian said this, which is also a praise for Lu Chen.
Chen Pu said disdainfully: "Next year, can you finish this film in a year and go to the exhibition?"
Gao Yue laughed.
Zhang Wentian was speechless, so he could only pick up the teacup and drink water to cover up his embarrassment.
Chen Pu poked at his weakness, that is, he is too good at procrastination and grinding in filming, and other directors can shoot scenes in half a year, but he often delays it for a year in order to keep improving. As a result, the budget has increased significantly, and several investors have been killed.
Putting down the teacup, Zhang Wentian said proudly: "I will definitely finish filming within a year!"
The Capital International Film Festival was held at the beginning of December, and now it is the end of August, and even if the shooting is completed within one year, if you add the post-production time, it is very tense to go to the film festival.
He also has to do it, otherwise it will be difficult to explain it to the investor.
According to the requirements of the investor, after participating in the Capital International Film Festival. It was released during the New Year's Day, and winning important awards undoubtedly had a great boost to the box office.
It's not the eighties or nineties, and the investors are very shrewd and always put the box office first.
Chen Pu snorted, with a look of disbelief.
Gao Yue played a round and asked Qin Qing instead of the topic: "Qin Qing, are you going back to the academy in the afternoon?"
Qin Qing nodded and asked, "Professor Gao." What's the matter?"
"That's just right"
Gao Yue pointed at Lu Chen and said, "Can you accompany Lu Chen to the Academic Affairs Office, you can find Director Lu or Director Chen." Give Lu Chen an observer hearing. ”
Sending the Buddha to the west, although he had already written a note to Lu Chen, but with Qin Qing leading the way to help, then Lu Chen could get the audit card and class schedule this afternoon, which could save a lot of trouble.
Qin Qing was a little surprised, but he didn't object: "Okay." ”
She has a reserved temperament. However, Professor Gao must help when he speaks, and it is not a very difficult task.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I'm sorry to trouble Senior Sister Qin." ”
In fact, he can handle it himself, and he doesn't need to trouble Qin Qing, but it's just not good to brush off Gao Yue's kindness.
Qin Qing smiled.
She got up and said, "Then let's go, if it's late, the Academic Affairs Office will be off work." ”
"Wait!"
Chen Pu shouted, "Qin girl." You play a song for us before you leave, I haven't heard you play the piano for a long time!"
As he spoke, he glared at Gao Yue and blamed the other party for the scenery.
Qin Qing sat down again and said generously, "Then I'll give you a song for the elders." ”
Zhang Wentian, Gao Yue, Chen Pu and Chen Jianhao all smiled.
Qin Qing's family background is extraordinary, not only beautiful and brilliant but also intelligent, she has been playing the piano since she was a child, and her piano skills are outstanding.
There are many guests who can come to Yuming Tea Garden, and there are really few who can listen to her play the piano!
But when Qin Qing plucked his ten fingers and played the guqin, the smile on everyone's face turned into a bitter smile.
Because what Qin Qing played was the ancient song "General Order"!
Compared with Lu Chen's adaptation, she played the original flavor, and the first part used a large section of finger shaking and left-hand playing techniques to show the scene of the sound of drums and horns, and the melody was tense and mysterious.
Next, in the second part, the image of the general with both wisdom and courage is sketched through the exaggerated chanting and sliding techniques of the left hand.
The third part depicts the rapid advance of the soldiers in formation with the technique of "four quick points" that continues to accelerate; the fourth part depicts the scene of the two armies facing each other, fighting on the battlefield, having the horn in unison, and returning to the camp in victory.
The four parts of the whole song are completed in one go, the rhythm is urgent and moderate, and the playing is full of momentum, showing exquisite skills!
Zhang Wentian and the others listened attentively.
Lu Chen had a faint feeling that this senior girl seemed to challenge him in this way.
Of course, this may have been his delusion.
I went to do physiotherapy today, and I was much more comfortable, and the first one was sent first, and there was still in the evening! )
