Chapter 200: Where Has the Time Gone?
Where did the time go for the two hundred chapters?
"Source Code" was painted on both sides of the Taiwan Strait in China, and the final box office was nearly 700 million, breaking the threshold of 500 million box office, which is also extremely impressive. Moreover, with a box office of nearly 700 million, it ranks first among Chinese science fiction films! Even in addition to "Source Code", other science fiction films are more than 200 million points at most, and they also lose money and make money.
This film is very important among Chinese science fiction films.
However, Wen Yi didn't feel the slightest bit happy, but there was a trace of sadness in her heart.
And "Source Code" is obviously making a lot of money. If you add the income from Southeast Asia and the upcoming release in Europe and the United States, it will be even more impressive.
In any case, this film, which no one is optimistic about, has achieved such amazing box office results, and its reputation is also excellent. Tong guò This film, Wen Yi is completely famous.
At least in the director circle, no one will think that he is a rookie director. No one dares to underestimate him anymore. Although his new film is still not many people are optimistic about him. But not as contemptuous as before.
"What's the matter?" Wen Yi saw that Sister Wen wanted to speak and stopped, then stopped her business and asked.
"There are three things!" Sister Wen saw Wen Yi asking, and then said, "One is that Director Zhang Xiaogang invited you to sing?" It was used to make the theme song of his new film. ”
"Zhang Xiaogang?" Wen Yi said with some surprise.
Zhang Xiaogang's status in the Chinese director circle is not low, and there are not even many people who can compare with him. He started by making art films, and in addition to the American Oscars, he has won almost all awards at home and abroad. And with the exception of art films. He is also the originator of Huaxia Big 6 commercial films. Now the position of the Chinese box office list has been occupied by him.
And this director is on top of the big scene. It's second to none.
"His new film is an art film!" Sister Wen then said, "Director Zhang's box office appeal in Huaxia Big 6 is unparalleled. Especially in the age group of forty to sixty years old. But this film, after all, is an art film, and it obviously has congenital deficiencies at the box office, and he is a pair of art films that he has regained in a few years. He invited you to sing, probably from the box office, after all, you are now popular. The theme song you wrote and sang still has a big impact on the box office of this film. ”
"I've heard of his new film. It seems to be adapted from a novel, about the love of father and mother, right? Wen Yi nodded, and then said.
"Yes, this matter" Sister Wen looked at Wen Yi and said.
"Go ahead! It's just a song. Wen Yi said, "Maybe it won't be long, and it may be possible to cooperate with Director Zhang!" Get acquainted with him first. ”
"Another thing is that this year's Golden Horse Awards ceremony has been postponed, but it will be held in a few days. Your "Crazy Stone" and "Ip Man" are both shortlisted, and although you are busy preparing for a new film now, I mean. It's best to take a day or two to go. After all, your Golden Horse Award is still very high. ”
"Then let's participate! You can arrange it for me! Wen Yi nodded. Then he asked, "What about one more thing?" ”
"My friend has terminated his contract with his previous company." Sister Wen then said.
"There's time to arrange for us to meet!" Wen Yi then nodded and said.
"He's out there right now." Sister Wen then said.
Ning Yuan is not tall, less than forty years old, and the whole person looks a little obscene, but from his words and deeds, and even in his eyes, Wen Yi sees confidence.
When Ning Yuan saw Wen Yi, after being simple and polite, he immediately took out a script and handed it to Wen Yi.
Wen Yi didn't say much, just smiled, picked up the script and read it.
A typical urban comedy, its perspective is somewhat similar to "Crazy Stone", and it is also the main line of the characters at the bottom of the society, and there are not many scenes involved in it, and it is also a small investment movie. As for whether this film is profitable or losing, Wen Yi is not sure. However, there are still many highlights in this film.
"What is the budget for this film?" After Wen Yi finished reading it, he asked with a smile.
"Are you really going to invest in this film?" Ning Yuan asked with some surprise. He didn't really have much hope at all.
"Why not?" Wen Yi said with a smile.
"This script has been beaten back many times, and they are not optimistic. In fact, I didn't have any hope at all, but I was a little unwilling to become a dead horse doctor. Didn't expect you to actually invest? Ning Yuan looked at Wen Yi and said.
"Hehe, I'm not voting for this movie, it's about you!" Wen Yi smiled and said.
When Ning Yuan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded and didn't say anything more.
Since he responded to others, Wen Yi also searched for some information about director Zhang Xiaogang's new film, and even took the time to read the novel a rough idea.
A song popped up directly in my head.
"Lao Zhang, are you too late to invite Wen Yi to sing? That guy has been very busy lately, so he doesn't have the time and energy to write songs! Your films are all finished, and they are almost in the promotional stage. Zhang Xiaogang's collaborator Zhang Ping asked.
"He's a notoriously fast gunner, and you don't know it." Zhang Xiaogang said with a smile, "If Wen Yi sings the theme song, how is it to the film, you as a producer know better than me!" ”
"I'm afraid that his writing will not meet your requirements, and as soon as your temper comes up, you will abandon it. Wen Yi is not a simple musician now, and his work is not focused on music. He can't write until you're satisfied. If you reject the manuscript the first time, chances are he won't write again. Zhang Ping then said.
He knows that Director Zhang Da's requirements for the film have reached a demanding point. If it is a song that does not satisfy him, no matter who writes it, and how much it promotes the box office of the film, he will not use it.
"Isn't he going to participate in this year's Golden Horse Awards? I'll look for a chance to talk to him. Zhang Xiaogang frowned, and then said.
He believes in Wen Yi's musical talent and can write works that he is satisfied with. But he wasn't sure that Wen Yi would be satisfied with what he wrote for the first time. And if you are not satisfied, you use it. That is undoubtedly irresponsible to yourself, to the fans, and to the film.
This is something he could never do.
"Director Zhang, this is a sample of the song from Wen Yi's agent! Look," Zhang Xiaogang's assistant walked over with a notebook and said.
When Zhang Xiaogang heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy.
"Hehe, didn't you just say that he was a famous fast gunner? Why did you get upset when you heard him send the song over? Zhang Ping smiled and said, "I don't have to worry about not being able to catch up with the promotion of this movie now." ”
"He's so fast at writing songs! Everyone in the circle knows this. But it's not been two days? Just send the song, don't you think it's a bit sloppy? What's more, everyone knows that during this time he was busy preparing for his new film. Zhang Xiaogang shook his head, and then said, "How do I feel that he is perfunctory to me!" Rather than that, it is better to reject it outright. He is so completely irresponsible to the table xiàn. ”
"Huh. This is a bit early! Zhang Ping smiled and said, "Let's listen to it first, and then talk about it!" ”
"Then listen to it, how it took less than two days to write a song that satisfies me." Zhang Xiaogang said and motioned to his assistant.
A soothing reminding me of the sound of the piano, the lyrics begin with a plain couplet.
The old tree in front of the door grows new shoots
The dead trees in the courtyard bloomed again
Half survived a lot of words
Hidden in the white hair
Little feet in memory
Meaty little mouth
Give him love for the rest of your life
Just for that mom and dad
Where has the time gone
I'm getting old before I feel young
Giving birth to children and raising daughters for a lifetime
My mind was full of children crying and laughing
Where has the time gone
Before I could take a good look at your eyes, it was spent
Firewood, rice, oil, and salt for half a lifetime
In the blink of an eye, only the wrinkles on the face remained
Wen Yi's interpretation is full of affection, and the soothing melody seems to tell various stories in the passage of time, which is touching and heartfelt. The song seems to warn us young people that time waits for no one, don't stay: regret and self-blame for wanting to raise a child but not waiting for a parent.
This song is undoubtedly very consistent with Zhang Xiaogang's content of this new film, especially "Where has the time gone?" Before I feel young, I am old, and I have children and daughters for a lifetime, and my mind is full of children crying and laughing. The lyrics are heart-piercing and thought-provoking.
"How?" Zhang Ping squeezed back the tears in his eyes, looked at Zhang Xiaogang, and then asked.
"He's a demon indeed!" Zhang Xiaogang immediately said, "I want to meet him even more now." (To be continued......)
