Chapter 203: The Turmoil of Song Change (Part II)
It has been 3 days since the sample of the movie soundtrack was sent to Brother Chen Kai, and there was no response there, and Wang Kefan was not in a hurry. Today, when the information industry is highly developed, the most important thing is the opportunity, and he has enough resources to grasp this opportunity.
Wang Kefan has been very leisurely these days, and he didn't go to the studio. He has calculated that it is most appropriate to release an album number of songs in two months, and if there are more, it will reduce the consumer interest of the market. He has already released 13 songs this month, which has long exceeded the standard, and before August, he will release the remaining 7 songs during the promotion period of "Mochizuki", so that he can get the due remuneration.
Wei Yunhu has already gone out of his way, and is now playing the villain male No. 3 in a crew in Hengdian. Wang Kefan was very surprised that Aunt Yu Zhengyu actually gave herself face like this, so she met Wei Yunhu, so she called to tell him that Wei Yunhu was a talent that could be created, and even if she couldn't reach the height of Li Lianjie in the future, it would not be a problem to be like Wu Jing. So as soon as Wei Yunhu became an actor, he had the right to memorize lines. Compared with hundreds of thousands of "horizontal drifts", the fate is simply outrageously unfair.
After Wang Kefan stayed at home for three days, Chen Kaige finally reacted.
According to Brother Chen Kai, they had a meeting for three days, and finally came to the conclusion that they wanted to invite him to go to the capital with Takahashi Masanori.
Wang Kefan didn't ask why it wasn't Zhonghai this time, and he felt stupid when he thought about it, he drove a helicopter by himself, and in the end there was nowhere to park, so he could only park in the school's playground. Compared with those rich second generations who know how to enjoy, Wang Kefan feels that his pretending force index is lower than negative.
After casually agreeing to Brother Chen Kai, Wang Kefan and Guo Yujing kissed goodbye affectionately at the door of the house, pulled a small box and left without looking back.
I flew two planes in three days, and I didn't know when I would die in a plane crash.
Wang Kefan was very pessimistic about the safety of the means of transportation, and under the cover of a taxi, he killed him out of the community - as long as Guo Yujing was not with him, there were not many people who could recognize him. But then again, with the increase in popularity, even if Guo Yujing is not by his side, there are always discerning fans who are firmly eyeing him, according to the words of those fans: "The smell of idols on your body can be smelled from a block away." ”
It's too exaggerated, but Wang Kefan likes to listen to it.
flew to the capital, and with a phone call, China Film Group actually sent a Rolls-Royce to answer it.
After getting out of the car, I walked straight into the building with the person who picked me up, took the elevator up to the 18th floor and stopped, then stopped in front of a conference room after turning a few corners along the wide passageway.
knocked on the door, the door opened, and the young man who picked up the airport said to the people inside: "Mr. Wang Kefan is here." ”
The eight people around the long table turned their heads together, and as soon as Brother Chen Kai, who was sitting far away, saw Wang Kefan, he stood up with a happy face and said loudly: "Kefan, come on, come on, sit here with me!" ”
Han Shanping and Guo Weijie also stood up one after another and greeted Wang Kefan.
There were two people who met Wang Kefan for the first time, and enthusiastically handed Wang Kefan their business cards, and Wang Kefan couldn't be rude, so he took out the bronzing business cards printed by Guo Yujing for him from his backpack and handed them to the two of them.
When Han Shanping and a few people saw this, they coaxed and said that they also wanted one, and Wang Kefan saw them one by one, while explaining that this business card was just made yesterday, and today is considered a "virgin hair".
In the laughter, Wang Kefan sat next to Brother Chen Kai.
Han Shanping looked at this kind of business card with only a name and contact number for a long time, and after putting it away, he said to Wang Kefan: "Xiao Wang, you should be able to guess what we invited you here today, right?" ”
Wang Kefan smiled: "It's about the movie soundtrack, right?" ”
"Yes." Han Shanping nodded and said, "Producer Guo thinks that your soundtrack is more in line with the core spirit of the movie, so we plan to use your soundtrack to replace Takahashi Masanori's soundtrack." ”
Wang Kefan didn't speak, just nodded.
Han Shanping narrowed his eyes slightly, Wang Kefan was more sophisticated than he imagined, at least he was very thick-skinned, and he didn't have the stubborn "righteousness" of ordinary artists at all. If you change to another musician, I'm afraid the first reaction will be "If you change mine, what will people do?" But Wang Kefan didn't show this meaning at all.
"It's so shameless, it's more suitable for mixing in the system......"
Han Shanping thought to himself, and his face also did not show it.
At this time, Guo Weijie spoke: "Professor Wang, don't listen to Mr. Han's nonsense, this is what all of us mean." Mr. Takahashi has now gotten off the plane and is coming to us, I heard that you can speak too, and Mr. Takahashi will come later, so you can discuss with each other. ”
"Discuss?" Wang Kefan sneered in his heart, "It's good if you don't fight......"
As the ultimate literati, the artist has the stinky problems that all literati have. Especially the artists who are still in this book, they have received the influence of Confucian culture in their bones, and most of them are the same virtue as the Chinese literati.
You scold me? Yes, I ignore you, this is the artist's mind.
Do you despise me? Yes, I ignore you, this is the artist's mind.
Did you change my work to someone else's? OK...... Your sister! It's artist's dignity!
Sure enough, as Wang Kefan expected, as soon as Takahashi Masanori arrived at the venue, the first thing he did was to scold.
The translator couldn't keep up with his speed, but Wang Kefan listened to it really.
Han Shanping couldn't persuade them, and the scene was lively and embarrassing.
It's just weird that a white-haired devil is shouting so much in the Chinese capital. Wang Kefan said in his heart If he had been placed on the side of the road, this old man would have been dealt with as a direct descendant of the invading Chinese army.
After scolding for a long time, Takahashi Masanori finally lost his strength and slowly stopped.
That's when his translator got his chance to play a role.
"Mr. Takahashi said that he wanted to meet N.K."
"I'm N.K." As soon as the translator's voice fell, Wang Kefan immediately replied in Chinese.
Takahashi Masanori was stunned for a moment and asked Wang Kefan: "Do you know how to speak?" ”
Wang Kefan smiled and said: "I just learned it for a short time, please ask Mr. Takahashi for more advice." ”
Takahashi snorted coldly and said, "What qualifications do you have to replace my work?" ”
Wang Kefan said: "Has Mr. Takahashi seen the version I made?" ”
"Nope." Takahashi said, "But is this necessary?" I asked myself that I had done exactly what Director Chen meant, and with my knowledge of film music, I thought my work was perfect! ”
Wang Kefan smiled and said: "But Mr. Takahashi, Director Chen Kaige later changed his thinking, so he asked me for help." ”
When Brother Chen Kai heard Wang Kefan say his name, he immediately sat up straight.
Gao Qiao turned his head and asked Brother Chen Kai: "Is this true?" ”
Gao Qiao's translator hurriedly translated, and after listening to it, Brother Chen Kai nodded with some hesitation.
There was no need to translate now, and the angry Takahashi began to shout again.
"As a director, how can you be so devoid of stance and principles! And you people, when you went to invite me, you were flattering and nodding your head, and now you want to tear up the contract! Do you know what shame is? You should all kill yourself by caesarean section! ”
Wang Kefan said coldly to Takahashi: "Mr. Takahashi, I think instead of getting angry here, it is better to take a look at the improved version first, if you are really your good, you can scold a little more fun at that time." This decision was made by all the people here, don't you think they're all laymen? ”
As soon as these words came out, Takahashi Masanori finally calmed down.
He shook his coat and said with disdain: "Okay, then let's take a look first, if your things are better than mine, I will definitely be willing to bet and lose." But young people, you have to keep your word, and if I can point out the shortcomings of your soundtrack, you have to keep your promise! ”
"Of course." Wang Kefan nodded.
Han Shanping asked Wang Kefan: "What does he want?" ”
Wang Kefan said: "Let's let Mr. Takahashi watch the film first." ”
When Han Shanping heard that it was this request, he naturally agreed, and he wished that Gao Qiao would nod his head in front of his own people and admit that Wang Kefan's things were better.
China Film Group naturally has its own screening hall.
A group of people sat down to the 5th floor for movies, called the staff, and specially arranged a screening room for idlers not to enter.
Gao Qiao and Wang Kefan sat side by side, and as soon as the lights went out, the arrogance on his face was no longer visible.
When the subtitles began to play, Takahashi saw that his name was still written on the music director, and the anger in his stomach weakened slightly.
By the time the film started, everyone was silent.
Watching it in the theater, everyone is still the second time, and the effect is naturally very different from watching it on the computer.
Like Chen Kaige and Han Shanping, Takahashi didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when he heard the first piece of music, which was originally played on double bass, but was now replaced by Wang Kefan's cheerful violin solo, Takahashi Masanori couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wang Kefan.
I have to say that the atmosphere of the whole film is completely different all of a sudden.
But a piece of music doesn't say anything, and if the whole film is in this key, it's obviously a failure.
Masanori Takahashi brace himself and prepares to memorize all the movements in his head. It's a matter of face, and he has to fight for his life.
But gradually, with the ups and downs of the film's plot, Takahashi Masanori's attention can no longer take care of other places.
He stared at the screen, his mood rising and falling with the plot and music.
A film that should have been equated with "Zhuang" actually made him laugh three times, which was still on the basis of the film he had watched, and all this changed because Wang Kefan changed the soundtrack!
And in the end, in the same picture, Masanori Takahashi actually felt a degree more tragic than he felt when he watched the film before.
Lost, completely lost.
Lost to a Chinese rookie.
When the theme song of the film sounds, Takahashi has lost the arrogance he had when he came.
He turned his head and asked Wang Kefan puzzled, "How did you do it?" ”
Wang Kefan smiled and said, "I posted a paper in Humanities, which was my graduation thesis when I was a doctoral student at Stanford University, and my method was written on it. ”
Humanities Magazine...... Ph.D. ...... Stanford University"
Takahashi Masanori, who almost committed suicide because of the college entrance examination when he was young, slowly stood up and bowed to Wang Kefan.
"I'm sorry, please forgive me for my ignorance. You are a true artist. ”
Wang Kefan turned his head to look at Han Shanping, and the old fox gave him a thumbs up.
