Chapter 263 2007
The movie is finished, and then it's time for post-production. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But Gu Wenwu is not in a hurry, the film and television time is approaching the end of the year, and he is ready to go home for the New Year and start the post-production work of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" after the New Year.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year in 2007, the post-production work of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" officially began. The first thing to start with is editing. Gu Wenwu has always cooperated with his old partner Sun Bai before, but this time he has a new partner, which gives Gu Wenwu a different feeling.
Hu Dawei, as a well-known editor in the industry, can be cited by Wu Yusheng as the queen editor, and his strength naturally does not need to be questioned. He is experienced, and many times he is giving Gu Wenwu advice, even if Gu Wenwu has the original movie in his mind as a reference.
"Director Gu, Tang Xinghua has arrived." Assistant Liu Xuan knocked on the door and came in, disturbing Gu Wenwu and Hu Dawei, who were concentrating on editing.
"Mr. Hu, you cut it first, and I'll deal with other things." Gu Wenwu said. Hu Dawei nodded without raising his head, he was in a trance.
Tang Xinghua was invited by Gu Wenwu, and her purpose was naturally to invite her to sing the theme song of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". As far as singing skills are concerned, Tang Xinghua is already at the top level in China, Gu Wenwu doesn't think she will lose to any female singer in China, and the two have worked together before, so why not look for acquaintances.
"Miss Tang, meet again." After shaking hands with Tang Xinghua, the two sat opposite each other.
"Director Gu, don't be so polite, it's not the first time we've met, just call me Xinghua." Tang Xinghua smiled like a flower.
"Okay, Xinghua, I invite you to come this time, I actually want to ask you to sing the theme song for my new movie, this is the lyrics and music score, you can take a look at it first." Gu Wenwu handed the lyrics and songs that had been prepared to Tang Xinghua.
Tang Xinghua took it and read it out unconsciously while watching: ""Moonlight Lover", hey, there is also an English version. ”
"I didn't expect Director Gu to even be able to write English songs, it's really amazing." Tang Xinghua admired.
She has always wanted to develop in the direction of singer-songwriter, but unfortunately, lyrics and composition also require talent, and the director in front of her has a talent that she envies. It's a pity that he's a director.
"Okay, I'll take care of that." It was originally a win-win situation, how could Tang Xinghua not agree.
"I heard you own a studio?" Gu Wenwu asked.
"That's right, it's said that it's a studio, but it's actually not large, and I'm just an artist, and the others are agents, assistants and drivers who serve me." Tang Xinghua said.
"Are you interested in coming to our Qingyang Culture, our company is lacking a record department, and you are the minister when you come." Gu Wenwu said sincerely.
This is the real purpose of inviting Tang Xinghua to come. If you just ask her to sing that theme song, you can just talk on the phone or ask someone below to do it.
As for the position of minister, it is naturally used to show Gu Wenwu's sincerity. His meaning is very clear, as long as you come, the record department is up to you.
Tang Xinghua didn't expect that the original cooperation would suddenly turn into a woo, his expression was stunned, and then he smiled again: "Director Gu really thinks highly of me, and the minister is still incompetent with my ability, so I still concentrate on making my one-third of an acre of land." ”
"Xinghua, don't be busy refusing first, you can go back and think about it, my promise has always been valid, you must know that the current record market is becoming more and more depressed, and you can't make money making records at all, so I hope we can work together to explore how a musician can continue to develop in such an environment."
Tang Xinghua was silent for a moment. What Gu Wenwu said is very reasonable, if it weren't for her reputation as the queen of the Summer Song Award, it is still unknown whether her studio can survive. Her latest album, although it claims to be a big hit, is actually a loss. That's right, even if it's the queen of the Summer Song Awards, in today's environment, her new album is also a loss. Of course, this has something to do with her leaving the company, the quality of the new album declining, and the lack of publicity.
"I'll think about it." This time, Tang Xinghua did not refuse again.
Seeing Tang Xinghua away, Gu Wenwu started his busy work again. In the post-production of the movie, the director is undoubtedly the hardest one, no matter what he has to worry about. Editing, soundtrack, dubbing, subtitles, and even special effects, all aspects have to be taken care of by Gu Wenwu. But busy is busy, Gu Wenwu is also happy. Watching the movie take shape step by step in my own hands, the sense of accomplishment cannot be described in words.
Just when Gu Wenwu thought that this kind of day would last until the end of the post-production of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Zhang Yimou suddenly gave Gu Wenwu a phone call, the phone was ostensibly to greet Gu Wenwu and care about the progress of his new film, but in fact it was to remind Gu Wenwu not to forget the promise of the day.
Zhang Yimou would not mention this matter inexplicably, Gu Wenwu, who was busy with later work, took the time to read the newspaper, and sure enough, his movie "The Great Detective: Behind the Scenes" was shortlisted for many awards at the first Xiangjiang Film Awards.
Gu Wenwu rubbed his chin, this is a thing to consider.
The organizing committee of the Academy Awards acted quickly, and sent the invitation the next day. When the assistant reported this matter to Gu Wenwu, Gu Wenwu was discussing the soundtrack with Tan Dun.
"Tell them that I'm busy in April and can't go to the award ceremony." Gu Wenwu didn't raise his head.
"Huh?" Liu Xuan opened his mouth wide and stayed there.
"Ahh Gu Wenwu said.
"Okay, Mr. Gu, I'll reply." Liu Xuan woke up like a dream, took steps that felt a little unreal, and turned to leave.
Since its inception, the Academy Awards have been attracting much attention. As the time approaches, the first Academy Awards are finally about to open. After waiting for so long, it finally arrived, and there was a feeling that it had been waiting for a long time. What kind of award this Academy Award will be, you will know on April 1. Prior to this, the shortlist announced by the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards still caused a lot of heated discussions.
From this shortlist, it can be seen that the organizing committee of the Academy Awards is still very different from the Xia Long Award. At least the organizing committee of the Charon Award will not let so many Hong Kong films be shortlisted.
Just when the media questioned the shortlist of the Academy Awards, the news of Gu Wenwu's refusal to participate in the Academy Awards was exposed again. instantly focused everyone's attention on Gu Wenwu.
And Gu Wenwu also cooperated with an interview with reporters this time: "For this Academy Awards, in fact, I am also very sorry, but the post-production of my new film is at a critical juncture, and I can't be separated, so I can only wish the Academy Awards a smooth opening." ”
"The new film, the post-production of the new film has just begun, and it may take a while to meet everyone."
"What, there are too many Xiangjiang movies shortlisted, what's this, hometown movies, isn't it normal to take care of them, the judges are also people."
"If you ask me which award I am most optimistic about, it is naturally the Xia Long Award, which is the most authoritative award in China, and it has always been."
"In addition to the Xia Long Award, then I am actually very optimistic about the Golden Horse Award."
After being silent for a long time, Gu Wenwu finally opened fire. Facts have proved that the clay man also has three points of fire, and he Gu Wenwu is not a good gentleman.
