Chapter 651: Master of the Soundtrack
The weather in New York is getting cooler in September, but at this point in time, the city's cultural and entertainment activities are getting hotter.
Almost every night, there is a large-scale concert, and there are many singers who come to have a good time.
As for operas, dramas, talk shows, or charity games, etc., there are countless of them.
On this night, in front of the Imperial Hotel on Broadway in Manhattan, the lights were bright, and a long red carpet was rolled from the door to the intersection.
One after another, the luxury cars stopped, and the richly dressed men and women got out of the cars one after another.
There will be a charity dinner here, which will be attended by many beautiful celebrities.
Little Plum, Tom Hanske, and Angelina Jolie will all participate.
These people are eligible to walk the red carpet and enter through the main entrance.
There are also quite a few people who are not qualified to walk the red carpet and enter through the side door.
A large part of these people are party girls, girls who specialize in eating and drinking, and are responsible for enlivening the atmosphere.
They can't make money by doing this, but they have the opportunity to meet beautiful celebrities and have the opportunity to fish for Kaizi.
Therefore, although it seems to be out of the flow, in the beautiful country, many girls flock to it.
In order to get such an opportunity, they even have to pay for news.
There are a lot of party girls tonight, but most of them don't actually have a chance to get close to Hollywood A-list bigwigs like Xiao Lizi and Tom Hanske.
The bodyguards of the superstars will stop this group of girls who want to become famous overnight as soon as possible.
Of course, not all young girls are party girls, in fact, there are some girls who are very talented and want to show their abilities.
Hildy. Guznadottir is one such girl.
Originally from Iceland, she has loved music since she was a child, and when she grows up, she dreams of becoming a film and television soundtrack.
She feels that through music, she can increase the appeal of film and television dramas, and can make the emotions of film and television dramas more fully expressed.
Iceland is sparsely populated and has few resources to produce film and television dramas.
Naturally, she couldn't work in Iceland.
In order to make the dream come true.
She actively recommended herself in Europe and was offered a job, and she has already completed the soundtracks for two films, called "Jane" and "Angry Sea".
"Jane" is a German war film.
"The Furious Sea" is a Danish film that reflects on modern piracy.
The quality of both films is not bad, and Hildy's soundtrack is excellent.
But due to the fact that German and Danish cinema had little influence.
Even if Hildy is talented, not many people know about it.
In order to get more job opportunities, in order to be able to better show yourself.
Hildy crossed the Atlantic to the beautiful country, where she wanted to succeed.
However, the beautiful country is the first in the world in terms of films, attracting outstanding talents from all over the world.
Hildy is not outstanding among these people, and she has been recommending herself for months without success.
It can't be said that the concept of Hollywood producers is solidified.
In this day and age, there are actually relatively few excellent female film soundtracks.
They are responsible for their own work, and naturally they dare not give the opportunity to Hildy easily.
She herself is well aware of this, and she is not discouraged, but intends to continue her efforts and sell herself to more Hollywood producers.
This time, I mixed in with the charity dinner to communicate with Hollywood producers up close.
With good luck, she soon found a lone Sony producer.
This is a man in his forties, one meter tall and in his early sixties, short in height, with very short legs, small eyes and a small nose, and an island country appearance.
"Hello Mr. Matsumoto, I'm Hildy......"
Hildy stepped forward and introduced herself enthusiastically, but before the words could fall, she stopped.
I saw Matsumoto from the island country looking at Hildy awkwardly, and then turned around and walked to the lounge on the side.
Next to the hall of this charity dinner, there are lounges that resemble private rooms.
Some monkeys are anxious to get men and women, and when they enter it, they will do things.
Matsumoto's appearance is obviously to think of Hildy as a party girl, and he thinks that people will take the initiative to dedicate themselves.
Hildy paused slightly, came back to his senses, and still planned to follow up to explain.
"Mr. Matsumoto, I'm a ......"
Matsumoto saw Hildy following up and thought that he could ride a large ocean horse, so he was eager and immediately took off his shirt.
The lights in the lounge are dark red, slightly ambiguous.
Seeing this, Hildy hurriedly explained: "I am a film and television drama soundtrack, I have completed the soundtracks of two films, I heard that Sony has a lot of film and television drama projects in the future, and I can work for you." ”
When Matsumoto heard this, he had a constipated face and a pair of small eyes full of impatience.
He waved his hand, "You don't need to tell me about this kind of thing, I don't know now, unless you can give me a pick-me-up, maybe we can have a closer talk." ”
Hildy hurriedly explained, "I'm not that kind of person, Mr. Matsumoto, I want to use my talent to work for Sony, can you give me a chance?" ”
Matsumoto heard this, and then unbuckled his belt, "Then it depends on your performance." ”
Seeing that Matsumoto was obscene and not as tall as himself, Hildy couldn't help but feel disgusted, then turned around and walked out quickly, closing the door at the same time.
"Bang!"
The lights in the lounge are cut off.
Matsumoto's lewd gaze was also blocked.
Hildy felt that her hands and feet were not clean, and she wanted to find a place to shower.
However, considering the purpose of her here, Hildy took a deep breath and planned to continue to find producers, or directors, well-known actors, to sell herself to them.
Hildy is very mobile, and she quickly recommended all the targets she could contact.
However, it was clear that no one took the words of a young girl like her seriously, and these people did not hesitate and rejected her directly.
Someone else knew that she was from Iceland and was interested.
"I've never tried an Icelandic girl, maybe we have other projects to work on."
It's a pity that Hildy is not interested in other projects.
She refused to everyone, so she had no choice but to leave with a wine glass.
"Haha, look at our big musician, she's so outstanding, she swore to be the best soundtrack master in Hollywood."
It was a party girl who spoke, and because Hildy had infiltrated under the name of a party girl, her story was known to the others.
At this time, when these girls saw their expressions, they naturally understood that Hildy did not succeed, and they couldn't help laughing.
Hildy rolled her eyes.
She didn't have any competition with them, she was completely unmatched, and she didn't understand why she was being ridiculed.
Don't these people have empathy?
At this moment, there was a surge at the entrance of the hall, and many party girls squeezed forward.
Seeing this, Hildy was also curious, who was coming?
"It's Lee, and Warner's Toby. Emmerich. ”
Plum?
Toby. Emmerich?
Hildy immediately thought of who these two men were, one was the director of "Joker" and the other was the producer of "Joker".
Lee Shengyao is tall and handsome, and he is still very young, completely different from the director in Hildy's impression.
Like a superstar, he appeared in the hall and was immediately surrounded by a crowd of people in the center.
The people around him are not party girls, but first-line actors and singers in the beautiful country.
Although the media on the Hollywood side often reports negative news about Lee Shengyao.
But the "Hangover" series and the "Hurricane Rescue" series have proven themselves.
Not to mention that with Lee Shengyao's status in the film industry, he is a lifelong judge of the Oscars, and he will inevitably be a judge of the three major European film festivals in the future.
These actors and singers naturally want to have a good relationship with Li Shengyao.
Those party girls can't get close.
Toby. Emmerich is relatively ordinary, he doesn't have so many big people around him, and party girls can get close.
Seeing this, Hildy thought for a moment and headed for Emmerich.
Anyway, Toby. Emmerich is a well-known Hollywood producer who spoke at Warner Pictures.
Several party girls saw Emmerich and immediately pounced.
They then gathered around Emmerich with their glasses and toasted to each other.
The girls were hot and scantily dressed, and Emmerich was not afraid, and took the girls to the side, talking and laughing.
Seeing this, Hildy couldn't help but frown.
The famous Emmerich is like this, are all Hollywood producers reincarnated as perverts?
She held her glass and turned her head to look into the glass mirror and saw a tall young woman.
The appearance can be about seventy points, but the figure is acceptable, and the skin is fair, in fact, there is still a market.
As long as she attends such a party, a boy will inevitably send her an invitation.
In the banquet hall, the core is Li Shengyao, Xiao Lizi, Tom Hansk and a group of people, and then there are powerful producers like Emmerich.
There were a lot of girls around them.
Wine glasses clashed, the men said funny things, and the women laughed.
From time to time, handsome men and beautiful women met each other's eyes, and then slowly walked to the lounge.
In the scent of perfume, red wine, and all kinds of pastries, they freely volatilize the taste in their hearts.
Emmerich entered the rest room with a hot woman.
It lasted about ten minutes, and the woman came out first.
Emmerich slowed down for twenty minutes before he came out.
Seeing this, Hildy gritted his teeth and quickly greeted him.
Either way, recommend yourself.
It's hard for Emmerich to decide whether or not she can take a fancy to her, but she's coming all the way from Iceland and has to do something.
"Hello, I'm Hildy from Iceland, I'm a film soundtrack, I've done the soundtracks for Jane and The Fury of the Sea, I've been praised by German film magazines, I'm determined to be a good soundtrack, please give me a chance."
Emmerich just came, and it was the time when he was refreshed and his thinking was clear, he squinted and listened to Hildy's words, realized that this girl was not a party girl, and then said slowly: "Why don't I have an impression of the two movies you said?"
"They're not Hollywood films, Jane is a German film, and 'The Fury of the Sea' is a Danish film."
Hildy said by the end, and her voice dropped a lot.
Hollywood filmmakers naturally have a sense of superiority, unless they win the awards of the three major European film festivals, they really don't look down on ordinary movies.
Her resume doesn't make it an advantage for Emmerich.
When Emmerich heard this, he thought for a while and asked, "In a situation like yours, I can give you a chance."
He then took out his business card, "I'm in New York during this time, and I'll be back in Los Angeles next week, when you go to the Warner Pictures headquarters building in Los Angeles to find me."
I can't give you any promises.
We have professional evaluators to judge your abilities, and if you feel you can do it, go for it, and as soon as you pass the assessment, we will give you opportunities and resources. ”
When Hildy heard this, her heart was excited.
has recommended herself so many times, and the producers of the beautiful country are dismissive of her resume and have not given her a chance to express herself at all.
And Emmerich now gave her a chance.
"Thank you, Mr. Emmerich, and I'm sure your new movie will be a big hit."
Emmerich smiled and nodded, "Hopefully." ”
Hildy then found a spot, with a glass of wine, looking out the window at the beautiful night scene, imagining her future at Warner Studios.
She was confident and apprehensive, expectant and worried.
At this moment, a nice male voice sounded, "Excuse me." ”
Hildy thought it was a man who was talking, and turned around with a smile, only to see Li Shengyao standing straight behind her.
Behind Li Shengyao, there were several other women, who were looking at her with envy.
"Li ......"
"Can I talk, I have something to discuss with you."
Hildy is the person who soundtracked "Joker" in Lee Shengyao's previous life, and she is extremely talented.
After giving the soundtrack to "Angry Sea" in 2013, she came to Hollywood, but no one believed in her strength.
It wasn't until three years later that she gradually conquered the Hollywood producers.
She scored Border Killer 2 in 2017 and then Joker in 2019.
At the 2000 Oscars, "Joker" won the award for Best Original Score.
and won the Best Original Score Award at the Golden Globe Awards, which is the first time this award has been won by a female soundtrack.
Hildy's style is to integrate music into the plot of the film, rather than overriding the drama, and her score plays an important role in the characterization and psychological description, which enhances the quality of the film.
In this style, Hildy needs a lot of time to read the script, and she needs to know the director's intentions for the film.
Lee then explained his intentions directly, and he invited Hildy to be the soundtrack artist for "Joker".
He will give him the script immediately, but there is a time limit.
Hildy needs to complete the soundtrack by September next year.
Hildy's eyes widened and she looked at Li Shengyao in a daze, her nose moved slightly, and she smelled the mellow aroma of wine.
She also heard the sound of girls stomping on the floor in their high heels.
The light is uncomfortable to the eyes.
She was sure that she was not dreaming, it was all true, and she really got an invitation from Lee Shengyao.
"I'm the Joker soundtrack, and I'm going to work on Lee's new film.
It's amazing, I ...... I'm going to be sounding for Lee's new movie. ”
