The filming of "Journey to the West" in the previous life has always been a process of exploration from beginning to end, and there were no works of the same type for reference before, everything had to be completed independently by the crew from scratch.

What is the quality of the works presented in the end, I believe that every audience who has watched the 86 version of "Journey to the West" has a shot in their hearts.

Even if the economy developed later, scientific and technological means advanced, and there were more mythology-themed film and television dramas, but if you really want to say that it can be compared with "Journey to the West", it is not boasting, it is really not.

It is not difficult to imagine how hard all the staff in front of and behind the scenes of the crew of "Journey to the West" have worked hard for this.

Since Gu Bei has come to this era and is fortunate to participate in it, he has always wanted to let the crew take fewer detours and experience fewer twists and turns, so as to make this classic masterpiece better and more smoothly completed.

The portraits of the four masters and apprentices before, and the general direction of the script adaptation, can be regarded as a little contribution made by Gu Bei to "Journey to the West" with his foresight.

Now that the issue of the soundtrack has been mentioned, Gu Bei can't bring it up, so he waits for that teacher Xu Jingqing to descend from the sky.

It's time for him to play to his strengths again.

Gu Bei has seen a lot of interviews with the crew of "Journey to the West" in his previous life, Director Yang Jie and Teacher Xu Jingqing have both said that before the soundtrack of "Journey to the West", he was just an unknown composer, and when the crew contacted him, he even thought that the person who came was a liar.

Director Yang Jie also mentioned that she also heard a piece composed by Xu Jingqing very accidentally, and the performance of traditional instruments with Western instruments attracted her at once.

Gu Bei naturally doesn't know where this teacher Xu Jingqing is at the moment, and now there is no shadow of the Internet in China, and the consultation is not developed, and trying to find someone is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

can't find anyone, Gu Bei can at least inspire Yang Jie a little.

Like what......

"You mean, you can't just stick the soundtrack to traditional instruments and traditional music?"

After hearing Gu Bei's words, Yang Jie's first reaction was puzzled.

Because at the meeting of the head of the literature and art department, it was mentioned many times that whether it is "Journey to the West" or "Dream of Red Mansions" in charge of Wang Fulin, as a classical masterpiece, traditional music should be used in the soundtrack to highlight the characteristics of classical masterpieces.

Now Gu Bei is actually going to overturn this resolution.

"What do you use if you don't use folk music? You can't use foreign gadgets, can you? ”

Although Yang Jie is not an old brain, she is more or less conservative on this issue.

Because from the very beginning, from radio and television to Taiwan, the tone set was that the Chinese should use the Chinese way to shoot China's famous works, and also highlight Chinese characteristics.

Although the soundtrack has the word "matching", it does not mean that it is dispensable, on the contrary, the quality of a piece of music can directly affect the quality of the whole play.

"Why not? How do you know if you can't do it without giving it a try? ”

Hearing Gu Bei say this, Yang Jie also moved her mind a little, since she can't find a suitable tune now, it's better to give it a try.

"You say so, is there a suitable composer?"

Belch......

Teacher Xu, where are you staying at this moment?

Gu Bei really didn't know which unit Xu Jingqing was in now, but ......

"Director Yang, have you seen the "Dan Heart Spectrum" the year before last?"

Yang Jie nodded, she is a movie fan, as long as there is a new movie, no matter how busy she is with work, she will squeeze out time to watch it.

"Filmed by Beijing Film Studio, I've seen it!"

"Do you still remember the soundtrack?"

Yang Jie tried hard to recall for a long time, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "I remember, remember, it seems to be based on symphony, accompanied by a little ......"

"Electronic music."

Gu Bei hadn't seen this movie, but he had seen it in person, at that time, "Dan Xinpu" was screened at Beijing Film Academy, and the original body watched it with his classmates, and he was very impressed by the soundtrack at that time.

"The composer you want to recommend is from Beijing Film Studio?"

"It's not."

Gu Bei had already asked Li Sufen this question last night, but Li Sufen didn't remember that there was such a person as Xu Jingqing in Beijing Film Studio.

"But someone knows for sure what unit he belongs to."

"Who?"

As soon as Yang Jie finished asking, she immediately realized who Gu Bei was talking about.

"You're talking about Teacher Zheng Rong?"

Zheng Rong is the acting director of the crew of "Journey to the West", and he is also set to play Taishang Laojun in the play, and Mr. Zheng has also participated in the previous film review meeting, and has a very close relationship with the crew.

And Mr. Zheng Rong happens to be one of the leading actors in that "Dan Heart Spectrum".

"Xiao Gu, you don't have to attend the afternoon meeting, go to Renyi to find Teacher Zheng Rong, contact the composer, please come over tomorrow, and I'll talk to him."

Gu Bei agreed, and then went to prepare.

In the afternoon, I went to Renyi to find Mr. Zheng Rong, and heard that the crew of "Journey to the West" was going to ask the composer of "Dan Xinpu" to score the music, Zheng Rong immediately agreed, and he didn't need Gu Bei to invite, he would take someone to the stage tomorrow.

Xu Jingqing has it, will the demonic Kagura be far away?

Beanie ...... Wow Oo......oo

Through his own influence, he has done one thing, not to mention how happy Gu Bei's heart is.

I don't have to go back to work in the afternoon.

Gu Bei rode directly to Xicheng District, although Chaoyang's two-entry courtyard was a little bigger, but Gu Bei still preferred the small courtyard in Baihua Hutong.

When I rode to the door, I saw that the courtyard door was open, and I was about to go in, when Ma San'er happened to come out.

"Xiaobei, why are you free to come here today?"

Today's Ma San'er is really different from the beginning, wearing a suit and leather shoes, a tie, a pair of shiny leather shoes, and learning the appearance of the actor in the Xiangjiang movie, combing a big back, and I don't know how many catties I wipe.

"I've been busy with work lately, and I haven't been here for a long time, so come here to have a look."

Ma San'er is about to leave, and there is dinner this afternoon.

He is now like a big boss, in Beijing and Tianjin, as long as he is in the clothing business, he basically takes the goods here, and the wine is constantly going on every day.

When Ma San'er saw Gu Bei coming, he didn't rush to leave, and followed him into the courtyard.

The inside is very clean, the pomegranate tree has borne fruit, the huge pomegranate is adorned with branches, and a lot of new furniture has been added to the house, all of which have been touched by the hemp pole during this time, and there are not many old objects of the age, but they are all good wood.

"Xiaobei, if you want me to say, it's not interesting for you to do that job, it's better to do business steadily."

Although Ma San'er doesn't know how much Gu Bei's salary is every month, at best, it is only forty or fifty yuan, how can he make money quickly in business, he now accounts for twenty percent, and every time the goods are wholesaled, he can earn thousands of yuan, which is enough for ordinary workers for several years.

"Let's see!"

Gu Bei said perfunctorily, Gu Bei didn't think about the matter of resigning and going to the sea, at first it was because of family reasons, but now he doesn't want to.

Reborn once, if it's just to make money and accumulate wealth, it's too boring.

People still have to pursue a little after all, and Gu Bei's current pursuit is to show his strength in the film and television industry and make a real career.

Be a second-hand dealer?

What an ideal is that?

After only staying for a while, Gu Bei left, and Ma San'er was in a hurry to attend the dinner, wanting to invite Gu Bei together, but he refused.

I don't know why, Gu Bei suddenly felt that the relationship with Ma San'er was not as close as before, maybe the two of them had different views on business, or maybe it was ......

Illusion?

Forget it, no matter what.

Now Gu Bei doesn't pay much attention to the clothing wholesale business, just to accumulate original funds, and if it is for long-term development, he really can't look down on it.

The next day, Teacher Zheng Rong really took an emaciated middle-aged man to CCTV, and Gu Bei recognized it at a glance that the other party was Xu Jingqing.

Although he is not well-known now, Gu Bei knows that this is definitely a geek and genius in the field of Chinese film and television soundtracks.

Xu Jingqing is not like other composers, he does not stick to one style, folk music, symphony, electroacoustics, and even opera, he has dabbled in it, but because he knows too much, and likes to try different soundtrack styles, he is regarded as a sideline by his peers, so there are not many opportunities.

He himself didn't expect that he would be recommended to the crew of "Journey to the West", but in fact, this is not the first time he has become acquainted with "Journey to the West".

At the beginning, Zhu Xiaofeng took the lead in soliciting the opening song for "Journey to the West", and he also submitted a manuscript, but he was not selected, after watching "Demon Removal and Black Chicken Country" yesterday, I felt that the opening song was too ordinary, and it could not show the characteristics of the big proposition of "Journey to the West" at all.

As a result, Zheng Rong contacted him the next day and told Yang Jie, the chief director of "Journey to the West", that he wanted to see him.

Gu Bei held back the excitement in his heart, greeted Teacher Xu Jingqing for a while, and waited until Yang Jie's side dispersed for a while, and then went over together.

Looking at Xu Jingqing, who was standing in front of Yang Jie with an excited expression on her face, and even said with a gesture, and then saw Yang Jie listening to it with relish, Gu Bei knew that there was a way to do this.

"Director Yang, my opinion is that to score "Journey to the West", you can't stick to any one form, but arrange it according to different plots, such as Tang Seng, it should be dignified and atmospheric, and it should be expressed in the way of folk music, and then Sun Wukong, it is necessary to reflect his brave and fearless spirit, you can try to use a more exciting tune, as well as the theme song, not only to show the hardships of the four masters and apprentices along the way, but also to reflect the courage to move forward despite the hardships ahead."

That's right, but the key is to look at the work, without the work, just care about the blindness, and there is no use.

"Mr. Xu, the crew is going to Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan on the 6th, if it is convenient for you, I hope you can come with us and participate in the filming of the crew."

"No problem, no problem."

Don't say that he just asked him to follow the group, even if he resigned now, Xu Jingqing didn't say anything.

Yang Jie thought about it again: "In this way, the filming cycle of our trip to Sichuan this time is about 20 days, and before returning to Beijing after filming, I hope to see your works." ”

"Stealing Ginseng Fruit" will be broadcast during the Spring Festival, and the soundtrack must indeed be hurried.

Twenty days?

Xu Jingqing was stunned when she heard this, but she quickly made a decision and nodded vigorously: "No problem!" ”
