Chapter 255: The Second Short Film
When the flight landed in Beijing, it was just in time for dinner.
Since only Chen Ming and Director Zhang came back this time, Director Zhang thought for a while, and then waved a car with a big hand and took Chen Ming straight to Quanjude.
Quanjude's consumption is no longer a luxury in this era, but it is also not cheap. Seeing Director Zhang's treat, Chen Ming hurriedly asked him to call his wife and children to eat together.
"The kid works in the northwest, so he's a little younger than you. There is only one wife left at home, and when I finish eating, I can pack a little and take it back. When I'm older, I can't eat much oily stuff. ”
Director Zhang heard Chen Ming's suggestion and refused with a smile. While waiting for the food to be served, I kept operating something on my phone.
"Okay, I just said hello to the art troupe. We'll go straight over after we'll finish eating, and try it at the evening rehearsal. If you want to talk about this new song, without you, the composer himself, others really can't figure out the taste. ”
Hearing Director Zhang's words, Chen Ming was no longer hypocritical. The two hurriedly finished eating the roast duck, and after checking out, they took a taxi to the Haizheng Art Troupe.
"Chen Ming, let me introduce you. This is the head of the art troupe, Liu, and he is the son of the old commander of our navy. ”
When Chen Ming and the others arrived at the Haizheng Art Troupe, they saw the head of the Liu regiment who was greeted outside the gate, and Director Zhang hurriedly pulled Chen Ming forward to introduce.
"Hey, you old Zhang, you always talk about this. My father has been in the ground for several years now, and retirement is even more early, and I always make me the same as a relation. ”
After hearing Director Zhang's introduction, Head Liu smiled and scolded angrily, and then turned his head to look at Chen Ming.
"Hello, Comrade Chen Ming. Welcome to the Haizheng Art Troupe again, your name has not been mentioned by the comrades in the troupe since I took office, this time I finally saw it, but I must let me do my best to be a landlord. ”
"Hello, Hello, Captain Liu."
Chen Mingdi saluted, shaking hands and looking a little absent-minded. In Director Zhang's introduction just now, when the old commander was mentioned, Chen Ming's mind felt as if the door of inspiration had been kicked open, and now he couldn't stop at all.
Thinking of the contribution made by the old commander to the cause of the aircraft carrier back then, there are also the grievances he has received. Chen Ming suddenly felt that the first short film of the aircraft carrier, how could there be no such old man.
And in this short period of time, Chen Ming even thought about the background music of the short film.
When it comes to the old commander, there must be a question of inheritance. Speaking of inheritance, Chen Ming suddenly thought of Huawei's advertising song "DreamItPossble" in his previous life.
In addition to the fact that this advertising song is an English song in the previous life in order to open up the international market. Whether it is the lyrics or the tune, it can fit the spirit of inheritance. Moreover, it is precisely three generations.
"Head Liu, Director Zhang. Tomorrow, I will be the east, and I will invite you to dinner. I just had an idea to discuss with the two of you. ”
Chen Ming, who came back to his senses, suppressed the urgency in his heart and hurriedly spoke.
The three of them went back and forth with each other, and after a bit of shirking, they finally set the time.
After finalizing the dinner, Chen Ming packed up his mind and devoted himself to the work at hand. After all, your own idea is just an idea, and it doesn't come true until it comes true. The tentative aircraft carrier short film is still the one shot before, and now Chen Ming's task is to do that short film well.
Rehearsing a new piece is not a job that can be done overnight. That night, Chen Ming was mainly giving a lecture to the people of the military band. At the same time, with the help of the big guys, the production of parts is completed.
The next day, the rehearsal really began.
In the evening, Head Liu and Director Zhang arrived. The orchestra rehearsal conducted by Chen Ming was already decent.
The whispers of the strings at the beginning are accompanied by the sudden explosion of the drums. The momentum increased little by little, and then the moment the bel canto soprano sounded, the two suddenly felt goosebumps on their backs.
"Yes, yes. Magnificent, tragic but without losing the belief that the soldiers will win. ”
When the music ended, Head Liu and Director Zhang stepped forward while applauding.
As for the part of the song that is a foreign language chorus, both of them said that it is not very important. After all, this piece is more than five minutes long, and the short film is only a little more than three minutes, and it will definitely have to be edited and excerpted by then.
Regarding the praise of the two, Chen Ming's mentality is still peaceful. After thanking everyone in the military band for their efforts and cooperation, Chen Ming led the two out of the house, got into Captain Liu's car and drove towards the reserved hotel.
"Director Chen, yesterday I heard Lao Zhang say, are you serving in a combat unit or on an aircraft carrier. I still believe it a little, but when I saw your performance today, I didn't believe it at all. ”
"Hey, I don't know. People say that the master is in the people. ”
Director Zhang couldn't help but laugh when he heard the admiration of his old friend.
"Where, where, Head Liu has won the award. When I was in middle school, I studied at the Central Tone High School in Beijing. If it weren't for my father's shipwreck, I don't think I would have enrolled in the Naval Academy. ”
Chen Ming explained slightly with a smile. Art majors such as music are sometimes not purely diploma-oriented.
The training and teaching level of the Central Music High School is stronger than that of most comprehensive undergraduate colleges and universities in China, and after hearing Chen Ming's explanation, Head Liu nodded embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be a martyr's child."
"It's okay, it's been all these years."
Several people chatted all the way, and soon came to the hotel booked by Chen Ming. With Chen Ming's current family background, there is no need to think about Tan family dishes and the like. But Chen Ming's invitation this time is not selfish, so the level of the hotel he booked is definitely not low.
"You kid, you're so generous. The drunkard doesn't mean to be in the bar? ”
Director Zhang looked at the palatial hall of the hotel, and asked with a smile as soon as he sat down, and at the same time gave Head Liu a reassuring look.
He and Chen Ming knew each other relatively early, and knew a little more about Chen Ming's personality and family background. Although he also knew that Chen Ming had a special purpose in inviting guests in such a place, he still sat down with confidence.
"Hehe, Director Zhang is really sharp-eyed. As for me, I'm a little selfish, it's about the short film we shot about the aircraft carrier. Since I met Head Liu yesterday, I have had a new idea, and I have been spinning around in my head. ”
Chen Ming smiled and praised Director Zhang, and then explained slightly.
"I've already ordered the dishes, I don't know if there are any taboos for the two of you. If you need to add vegetables, just say that you need to change the dishes, and you will be polite. Let's talk before eating, eat to eat, and talk about things. No matter what I think, you two are for it or against. Let's eat as we eat and drink as we drink. ”
"Yo, you guy still has a set. Okay, since you said so, then the two of us who are uncles won't be polite to you. What you think, tell me about it. ”
After hearing Chen Ming's explanation and knowing that it was about the short film of the aircraft carrier, Commander Liu settled down. But after all, he and Chen Ming are not familiar with each other, so Director Zhang still speaks.
"I want to make a second short film!"
