Chapter 161: The Two Kings Don't Meet
John? Williams, the planet's greatest film soundtrack and Hollywood musician, was sitting next to Zhou Shaoming while listening and carefully recording his words.
"John, what I need for the whole movie is a rhythm that makes people nervous, but tries not to feel depressing!" Zhou Shaoming lit a cigar, swallowed the clouds, and discussed the movie score with John in front of him.
There is no need to elaborate on the skills of this soundtrack musician, Zhou Shaoming has already worked with him perfectly once in the previous movie, so this cooperation is natural and natural.
As Spielberg's films entered the new millennium, there were fewer and fewer films, but the cooperation between John and Zhou Shaoming was increasing, and the name of "Spielberg's royal soundtrack" could be changed to "Smith Zhou's royal soundtrack".
"I understand, I want to use the sound of human breathing, to reinforce that immersive sense of urgency, and then use electronic music with a strong sense of rhythm and the most emotional for the audience as the rhythm and ** time ending, what do you think?" John thought for a moment, then asked with a smile.
"Sounds good, let's make a few samples, and I'll listen to them when I have time. You're a professional in the soundtrack, so I'll leave it all to you! Zhou Shaoming laughed, for music, he was a half-filled bucket of water, with the famous John here, naturally he didn't need to worry too much.
So just elaborated on his ideas and requirements, and Zhou Shaoming made a hands-off shopkeeper.
"Okay, I'll take a closer look at the script." John picked up the script and took it through it.
On the other side of the studio, in the rest area of the extras, Harry, a seventeen-year-old boy from Los Angeles, looked around excitedly, he felt new to everything when he first walked into the film crew, and the crew not far away was busy before and after, the diligent Harry wanted to help at first, and the crew told him to go away, which made him a little unhappy.
Looking at the famous director Smith Chow from afar, who he dreamed of seeing with his own eyes once, he sat in the studio, smoking a huge cigar, pointing everywhere, and the majestic style made Harry full of envy.
Even Smith Chow's snow-white shirt and exaggerated sunglasses made Harry's heart flutter, not to mention the new Hollywood beauty who often came to visit the class, the tall and charming face, and the heroine of Chainsaw Horror II, Christina!
What an eye-catching and unique beauty! But everyone knows the open relationship between Christina and Smith Chow, although the seventeen-year-old Harry is indeed a little excited, but in the face of the high mountain director Smith Chow, he can only shrink his neck and play his zombie boy with peace of mind.
"Hey, Harry, it's been three or four days and you're still looking around? Does the crew have so many nice things? A crisp, bright voice rang out next to Harry.
When he turned his head, he saw a zombie girl covered in blood stains and a large piece of flesh gnawed off her neck, standing behind her with a smile.
It turned out to be Emma, the sixteen-year-old girl who won this Seattle Zombie Night!
Emma is very beautiful, but her interests are also very special, she likes all kinds of bloody horror movies, and Smith Chow's Chainsaw is her favorite, so she signed up for this casting with a strong curiosity, and actually became the most popular zombie girl in the bar in Seattle, so she came to the crew, and Harry, who was the same age as herself, quickly became friends.
However, the entire crew is that Harry and Emma are under the age of 20, and the winners in the other cities are all young people in their twenties and thirties.
"Don't you think the movie crew is fun? It's all unreal, but it's so real, if I see myself in the movie theater, my friends will scream! Harice leaned back in his chair, but did not dare to move, for fear of ruining his makeup.
"It's fun!" Emma smiled, sat down next to Harry, tossed her wet hair aside, and continued: "I didn't expect the movie to be filmed like this, not like I imagined, one by one, but to concentrate on filming all the scenes of one actor or one scene, and then shoot the others. ”
"So, I want to study hard and become a director in the future!" Harry looked at Emma, who had a hideous face beside him, and burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Emma looked strangely at Harry, who was smiling, and looked left and right, but found nothing funny.
"Your makeup, your makeup, haha! I'm laughing to death! ”
It turned out that Emma's makeup was slowly bleeding with blood red because of sweat, which made Harry laugh enough.
"Oh God, that's terrible!" Emma punched Harry with a smile, and then ran to the makeup artist in a panic, although Smith Zhou was approachable to the extras, as long as they were on camera, they had seen the appearance of the tyrant on the set, and no one wanted to be scolded.
As soon as Emma ran away, Zhou Shaoming slowly walked over with a cigar, and when he saw the director coming, Harry stood up in a panic.
"Don't be nervous, boy, I'm not going to eat people!" When Zhou Shaoming saw this extremely restrained Harry, his heart was full of teasing, and he couldn't help but stop and smile at him.
"Hello Smith Chow, my name is Harry!" Harry looked at the approachable Zhou Shaoming with some joy, and he also knew that as long as he didn't film, Zhou Shaoming was a very good old man and was very kind to everyone.
"Harry? Haha, I remember you, you played well, the decadent, terrifying and crazy appearance of zombies is very well grasped, many people in their twenties are not as good as you! Zhou Shaoming naturally knew that Harry was the youngest of the entire extras, and he paid more attention, patted him on the shoulder and encouraged.
"Thank you!" Harry was very happy to receive the praise of the best director in his heart, and after going back now, he can brag to the fat fish again!
"Work hard! When you grow up, you will definitely be a good actor! Zhou Shaoming smiled and pinched Harry's face.
"I want to be a director! A famous and talented director like you! Harry said unexpectedly, his eyes full of wistfulness: "Mr. Smith Zhou, can you give me some advice?" ”
"Suggestion? Haha, I'm just a director who has made two movies, and my roots in Hollywood are very shallow! Zhou Shaoming's heart was overjoyed, and Harry's compliment made him proud, as if he had eaten ginseng fruit, and the 36,000 pores shouted that he was comfortable.
But Zhou Shaoming's heart was dark, but his face still maintained a reserved and appropriate modesty, especially in front of the children.
"But you are the best director in my heart, and you are the direction of my efforts!" Another round of sycophants struck, making Zhou Shaoming happy that he couldn't find the north.
"Okay, I'm not a few years older than you, let's put it this way, if you have a dream, then step out, don't let it stay under the fantasy, fantasy, be brave, and move towards the dream! Even if you improve a little bit every day, you'll catch it quickly! Zhou Shaoming thought about it and said earnestly.
"Understood! I understand, Mr. Smith Chow! I will work hard towards my dream! Harry was encouraged, waving his hand to vent his excitement.
"Well, that's good! This spirit is very good, keep it up, the first step to become a great director is to play a zombie in my movie! Zhou Shaoming looked up to the sky and smiled.
"Got it, Mr. Smith Zhou, can you, could you please help some of my friends sign autographs? My friends are all fans of your movie, and the security guard at the Passion Nightclub wants to get an autographed poster from you! Harry was so happy that he was fainting.
"Signature? OK! Ben, Ben! Where are you? Go get me some biochemical posters! Zhou Shaoming yelled, asked the assistant director Ben to bring a few posters of Resident Evil, and then signed his name heavily.
Looking at the square words in front of him, Harry asked with some confusion: "Mr. Smith Zhou, is this your Chinese name?" ”
Looking at the three square words of Zhou Shaoming in front of him, Zhou Shaoming rarely put away his smile, looked into the distance and said slowly: "Yes, my Chinese name, Zhou Shaoming." ”
Far east, China in 2000, is naturally concerned about the rising stars of Hollywood, but Zhou Shaoming's first movie is a bloody horror film, and the dismemberment of the madman Smith Zhou will naturally not be recognized by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and will not hesitate to ban Zhou Shaoming's films, only Taiwan, Hong Kong and other places will be released, the sensational effect is no worse than that of the North American continent, and there is no shortage of fans of plasma films.
And "Chainsaw" is not an ordinary movie that stimulates the audience with blood, but also makes them think deeply, makes them think about the essence of life and cherish life, so the oriental audiences who pay more attention to the spiritual level are also very fond of it.
At the same time, the mainland is booming, and the piracy industry, which has been born in the spring breeze, has long noticed that this film, which has hit a box office of more than 300 million US dollars worldwide, has been put on the Internet as early as possible, or suppressed into a CD, these things are also unusually hot on the Internet, in the last era of DVD.
It wasn't until Zhou Shaoming's second film "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" was released that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television was kind and introduced it without cutting it, but if the time is calculated, it will not be released in China until the New Year of 2001.
Therefore, for China, Zhou Shaoming yearns for it, but he doesn't dare to think about it.
Through private detectives, Zhou Shaoming learned that his parents in China are only 32 years old now, and there is really an 8-year-old Zhou Shaoming next to them!
Will it be your own childhood, or someone else's childhood?
He is afraid to go back, afraid to see his parents who are not much older than his 23-year-old self now, afraid to see his 8-year-old self, the two kings do not see each other is to cross the iron rate, I don't know this world, and there is still Zhou Shaoming in 1999.
All kinds of complicated emotions are entangled, Zhou Shaoming can only use various means to make his parents' lives better, as for the future, let's talk about it later.
