Chapter 83: Spielberg's Royal Score
Bow and thank you for the great tip~~

"What's wrong? Why should I thank you? Zhou Shaoming got goosebumps all over his body when he heard this laughter, he took a hard puff of his cigarette, and then Shi Shiran walked home.
"Didn't you ask me to help you find a composer? I've found it! Don't thank me for this? Wait, I suddenly crave a French meal, foie gras, Marseille fish soup, brandy for wine, that's a good idea. Little Robert, who was smug on the other end of the phone, stomped his legs and suddenly realized.
"Don't come here, don't just pick up a rapper on the street and say you helped me find a composer! If you really introduce a well-known composer to me, it's not impossible to consider French dinner," Zhou Shaoming said with a smile.
"Come on me! Will surprise you! John Williams is not an unknown person, you frog at the bottom of the well, you better ask someone! Little Robert laughed at Zhou Shaoming mercilessly, as if a guy with an IQ of two hundred and five was disdainful when he saw an idiot.
"I'm not a humanoid computer! Cut! Zhou Shaoming shot back without thinking, and then hung up the phone.
Well, find out who this guy is, Zhou Shaoming knows that although Robert Jr. loves to joke, he will not distinguish between right and wrong in this kind of big thing, John Williams must be a special guy.
After getting dressed, Zhou Shaoming drove his Ferrari onto the street, and then dialed Christina's phone.
"Hey, baby, is it going well?" Zhou Shaoming said sweetly while driving the car.
"Just finished the first dance class, what's wrong? I haven't seen you for a few days, and now you miss me? Christina's voice was a little tired, but she was happy to receive a call from her lover.
"Pretty Girl Cheerleading" has a lot of dance performances, and before filming, Christina had to undergo three months of intensive dance learning, and at this time she was arranged by the crew to take classes at a dance school on Broadway in New York.
When filming a movie, the hardships of the actors are not as glamorous as those on stage, and the actors sometimes spend months or a year learning music or martial arts for a play!
is like a Hollywood star like Keanu Reeves, in 1999's "The Matrix", in order to play the savior of Chinese kung fu, he also practiced martial arts in a closed training camp for many months, and endured all the hardships.
Meryl Streep, in "The Strings Move My Heart", plays a great mother who uses music to wash away the tribulations of life, the violin teacher Jasparry. In order to make the role realistic, Meryl Streep practiced violin for eight weeks, spending six hours a day in the piano room, and finally learned Bach's tunes.
If you want to show a moving style on the big screen and act like anything, you must make all preparations behind the scenes, even before the movie starts, and exchange blood and sweat for fruitful fruits.
"Of course I miss you, I miss you every minute and every second!" Zhou Shaoming talked about it with a smile, which made Christina smile again.
"Alright, let's talk about something! I only have a ten-minute break! Although I really want to talk to Zhou Shaoming more, Christina, who is very professional, will not let her feelings affect her work.
"Well, I want to ask you, there's an arranger named John Williams, do you know who he is? Robert Jr. introduced him to the arrangement of "Spring in the Cattle Herding Class", and you know, I'm still a little unfamiliar with the American film industry. Zhou Shaoming said embarrassedly.
"Haha! You idiot! John Williams, the greatest film scorer on the planet! I won't go into details about how he succeeded, his masterpieces include "Star Wars", "Jurassic Park", "Alien ET", known as Spielberg's royal soundtrack! You don't even know Spielberg, do you? Christina seemed to be particularly willing to see Zhou Shaoming's jokes.
"Oooh! Spielberg: Of course I know! "Zhou Shaoming is not ordinarily thick in front of his girlfriend.
"Okay, talk to John, and if he can come and score for you, add at least twenty points to your movie! I'm going to class, so be it! Christina was obviously quite satisfied with that John, and solemnly suggested to Zhou Shaoming, and then maybe the assistant came to urge her, so she hurriedly turned off the phone.
Spielberg's royal soundtrack? Now that's interesting! Zhou Shaoming smiled slightly, and the Ferrari roared into the traffic and drove into the distance.
-------------
John Williams was a graceful and elegant old man who was almost seventy years old, with a bare head, a beard and a small amount of hair dyed with white frost, a large gold-rimmed glasses with a warm gaze, a straight suit, and a calm demeanor.
The years of tempering and the edification of music made him old and strong, and he did not look old at all, and when he saw Zhou Shaoming coming towards him, he got up to salute.
Of course, Zhou Shaoming did not dare to hold up in front of this almost seventy-year-old senior, no matter how arrogant he was, he would remember the glorious tradition of our Chinese respecting the old and respecting the virtuous, and hurriedly walked quickly, grabbing John's hand and not letting go.
"Mr. John, the world's leading musician in film scoring, it's really a pleasure to meet you!" Zhou Shaoming shook John's hand and said haha in his mouth.
"The father of the chainsaw is so young, it is the future that is terrifying! Nice to meet you! John was very polite and didn't take any shelf at all, which made Zhou Shaoming very comfortable to watch.
"I've finally completed the task you've given me! Although Mr. John has been busy with the soundtracks of other films lately, I brought him in, but whether he can impress him to score your films, it's up to you now. Little Robert jokingly knocked Zhou Shaoming's outstretched hand away, then sat up and gave him a hug.
"Mr. Robert said, your second film is going to tell a heartwarming story?" John didn't stay polite for long, time is money, and with countless jobs waiting for him as a musician like him, there's not much time to waste.
"Yes, it's a story about the relationship between the teacher and the children." Zhou Shaoming didn't talk nonsense, and began to talk about the basic content of the movie "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class".
And little Robert poured glass after glass of red wine on the table, and after a while, his face turned red.
Time passed minute by minute, John listened very carefully, and after Zhou Shaoming finished speaking, after closing his eyes and thinking carefully, he opened his mouth and asked, "In this movie, what kind of requirements do you have?" ”
"Heavenly! A children's chorus! It is like a stream in the forest, moistening people's hearts, as if it is like a wildflower secretly blooming in the deep mountains, and the moment people see it, there is a strong resonance and shock in the soul! It's not too outgoing, it's relatively restrained, but it's as powerful as a sleeping volcano! Zhou Shaoming said without hesitation, these words were already ready on the way over.
