Chapter 63: I'm Listening to the Song (2nd Update 4.4k)
The filming ended, but the rain did not stop, and everyone ran to the eaves of the noon gate to hide from the rain.
Many people were drenched, but they originally came for the rain, so they were more well prepared, and as soon as it was over, the venue began to distribute towels to the crew.
Zhou Yan saw that Sun Qin and the others were also drenched in water, so he asked for three more towels from the field staff and handed them to Sun Qin.
"Wipe it, it's still cold on this day, and if you don't dry it, it's easy to get sick."
"Thank you, thank you." Sun Qin took the towel and looked grateful: "We didn't prepare at all, and we didn't even bring an umbrella." ”
"Is the machine alright?" Zhou Yan asked.
Sun Qin looked behind him and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's always blocked, if there is a problem with the machine, it will be difficult to go back." ”
"It's okay." Zhou Yan nodded, and went to help the others pack their things.
Although it was raining, the scene was finally over, and everyone in the crew was in a good mood, and some people were already discussing where to eat at night.
Before this scene was filmed, Wang Junzheng told them that when the filming was over, he would take them to dinner.
Wang Junzheng also did what he said, and as soon as the filming ended, he asked people to find a place to eat.
After she dried Shi Chen's hair, she ran to Zhou Yan and said, "Don't leave for a while, go eat with us in the evening." ”
Zhou Yan didn't have anything to do at night anyway, so he didn't have any hypocrisy, and nodded with a smile, "Okay, I like the rice the most." ”
"What's the rice, you are our soundtrack director, and I, the director, can't starve you without food."
At this time, Sun Qin returned the towel and passed by, and Wang Junzheng said to him again, "Little Sun, if you don't have anything to do at night, let's have a meal together." ”
Sun Qin said with a smile, "The rain will be light for a while, we have to go back to the stage to order something, the filming here in the Forbidden City has come to an end, and we must quickly sort out the materials and show them to the team leader." As you know, our team leader, is very anxious. ”
"Teacher Sun is really anxious." Wang Junzheng nodded, and said, "Go back and mention to Mr. Sun, the soundtrack can't be sloppy, especially the kind of promotional film you are shooting now, the soundtrack may be more important than the picture." ”
Hearing Wang Junzheng mention the soundtrack again, Sun Qin raised his eyebrows, and looked at Zhou Yan again, this Wang Dao seems to be recommending Zhou Yan to give them the soundtrack?
He smiled and said, "Why don't you give us advice from Director Zhou?" ”
In fact, Sun Qin misunderstood, the reason why Wang Junzheng mentioned the soundtrack twice was because she really thought that Sun Qin and they should pay attention to the soundtrack, completely out of kindness.
However, when Sun Qin said this, Wang Junzheng also followed his words and said, "Yes, you talk to Zhou Yan more, he is a professional." Let me tell you, if it weren't for Zhou Yan, there would be no scene today. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Sun Qin said curiously.
Wang Junzheng explained with a smile, "Originally, this scene was planned to be filmed on a sunny day, but the song that Zhou Yan gave me before made me feel like a rainy day. I think it's a pity that such a good artistic conception doesn't cooperate, so I changed this scene to a rainy day. ”
Sun Qin didn't expect that there was such a story behind today's scene, according to common sense, the soundtrack is to match the appropriate music on the basis of the picture, but when it came to Wang Junzheng, it was reversed, and she actually changed the original shot because of the soundtrack.
This made Sun Qin curious about that tune, how good does this song have to be to make Wang Junzheng have such thoughts?
You must know that in order to shoot this rain scene, their crew stayed in Wumen Square for several days, and the price of changing the scene is not small.
"What kind of song is it that has such charm?"
Wang Junzheng said with a smile, "If you have time to go to our factory, I'll show you, I guarantee that your jaw will drop." ”
Hearing Wang Jun praising himself like this, Zhou Yan said modestly, "Sister Wang is overrated, in fact, there is no absolute good or bad in music, and a song happens to meet someone who likes it, which is the blessing of this song and the blessing of the creator." I also want to thank Sister Wang for allowing more people to hear this song. ”
Hearing Zhou Yan's string of words, Sun Qin blinked his eyes, and said in his heart that Zhou Yan is really a student this time? Haven't been in the government unit? Why does this sound so familiar, and I always feel like I've heard it in the unit?
In fact, many people know how to say some things, but it is not easy to say them naturally like Zhou Yan.
Wang Junzheng is accustomed to it, she has long understood Zhou Yan's ability to praise people, the key is that Zhou Yan praises people, it feels very sincere, and the wording is not too much, so it will not make people think that he is patting on the back.
"Director Zhou is too modest." Sun Qin smiled and asked again, "Where are you studying?" I'll ask you when I have a chance in the future. ”
"I'm in the composition department of CCTV."
Sun Qin gave a thumbs up, "It's no wonder that the composition department of the central sound." ”
Yandian's director, Chinese opera, and Yangyin's composition are all famous, and Sun Qin himself graduated from the directing department of Yanjing Film Academy.
People often talk about these three majors together, but Sun Qin himself knows that the composition department of CCTV is not the same dimension as their other two majors.
As for the soundtrack of the promotional film, Sun Qin didn't go any further, because he couldn't do it.
He can find the soundtrack artist of his unit by himself, and he can also talk to the soundtrack artist about what tunes to use, but when it comes to work outsourcing, the situation is different, and Sun Zonglu, the leader of their special group, must nod and agree.
Since you can't be the master, you may be embarrassed if you talk too deeply.
Sun Qin didn't talk deeply, and Zhou Yan and Wang Junzheng didn't take the initiative to mention this matter again.
The main reason is that this promotional video is a bit too short, and there are few materials related to the Forbidden City, which makes Zhou Yan not interested.
After the rain subsided, Sun Qin took the other two young people and left first.
Zhou Yan and the others didn't stay long, and the army went back to Yanjing Film Studio first, and then went to the hotel.
……
On the way back, the young man in charge of driving asked Sun Qin, "Brother Sun, do you say that Zhou Yan is really a soundtrack director?" ”
Sun Qin glanced at the young man, this kid's name is Hu Wei, he is a new reporter from Taiwan, and his heart is quite high.
may have seen that Zhou Yan was younger than him, so he was a little unconvinced.
"Then do you mean that Director Wang told us a lie?"
"No...... I think he has a good relationship with Director Wang, and he screams one by one. ”
Sun Qin rolled his eyes and looked at Hu Wei and didn't speak again, but he was already thinking in his heart about how to find an opportunity to transfer Hu Wei away.
Whether Zhou Yan is as good as Wang Junzheng said, Sun Qin is not without doubts at all, but Zhou Yan must have something, not all by going through the back door, he knows the rules of Yanjing Studio, and he also knows the character of Wang Junzheng and Chen Zhigu.
After returning to the stage, Sun Qin went to mention the soundtrack to their team leader Sun Zonglu, but he didn't say anything about meeting Zhou Yan today.
Sun Zonglu didn't say anything, and asked him to shoot the material first, and the soundtrack will be decided later.
About four or five days later, just when Sun Qindu was about to put down the soundtrack, he happened to pass by the gate of Yanjing Film Studio when he went out to run errands.
Thinking of Wang Junzheng's words that day, Sun Qin swung the front of the car and rode towards the factory.
When I arrived at the director's office, I didn't see Wang Junzheng, only Chen Kaige and Tian Baozhuang, two directors.
"Excuse me, where has Director Wang gone?"
Sun Qin knew Chen Kaige and Tian Liangzhuang, but the two didn't know him, Chen Kaige looked at him and said, "Director Wang should be going to the editing workshop, are you in a hurry to find her?" If you're not in a hurry, just wait a while, and I'll be back after a while. ”
"Then I'll wait for her for a while." Sun Qin nodded.
"You can sit on your own." Chen Kaige spoke, then turned his head and continued to talk to Tian Baozhuang, "Now the preliminary preparations are almost over, just waiting for the actors to train their skills." ”
Tian Baoqiang squinted and smiled, "I heard that you also dug up the soundtrack director of "Heaven's Reply"? ”
Chen Kaige waved his hand, "There is no matter, Zhou Yan was originally the on-site guide invited by Mr. Zhao Jiping, you have to figure out the relationship between Lao Tian and Lao Tian, and what is digging, one person can't score two movies?" But you're not here for a while, and I've heard a lot of news from the factory. ”
Tian Zhuangzhuang laughed, "That can't be helped, there are people who are willing to talk to me about these things." ”
……
The two were chatting over there, and Sun Qin was also listening with his ears pricked up.
He heard Zhou Yan's name just now, and he wanted to hear more about Zhou Yan, but it was a pity that Chen Kaige and Tian Liangzhuang didn't talk about Zhou Yan later.
Chen Kaige said that Wang Junzheng might come back in a while, but Sun Qin waited in the office for more than half an hour, and waited until Chen Kaige and Tian Liangzhuang left, and then waited for Wang Junzheng.
Seeing Sun Qin coming, Wang Junzheng was also very surprised, "Little Sun, why are you here?" ”
Sun Qin said with a smile, "I went out to do business, and when I passed by here, I came in and had a look." ”
"Oh, you've been here for a while, I just went to the editing workshop to watch the film."
"Well, Director Chen was here just now, and he told me." Sun Qin nodded.
"Sit down." Wang Zhengjun poured a glass of water for Sun Qin, "You came to me, didn't you just come to see me?" ”
Wang Zhengjun is a straight man, so he didn't detour and asked directly.
Sun Qin saw that Wang Jun was asking directly, and he also said with a smile, "I want to hear the song you said last time, the one made by Director Zhou." ”
"Oh, I'm here to listen to the tune." Wang Junzheng smiled, "What else should I do, okay, you wait a while, I don't have a belt here." ”
With that, Wang Junzheng left the office, and not long after, he came back with a tape.
"The original is with Zhou Yan, so we copied two copies, one I took home, and this one was taken from the reference room."
Wang Junzheng explained, and then put the tape into the tape recorder.
Idling, recording sound, idling.
It took more than twenty seconds for the first note to come out of the cassette recorder.
Like everyone else, the previous piano solo did not make Sun Qin's emotions fluctuate, it was just a piano piece that sounded good, but had no characteristics.
But when the violin came in, his face was full of surprise, just like everyone else who had heard the piece before.
It wasn't until a few minutes later, when the song ended, that Sun Qin still maintained the expression on his violin voice when it came in.
"Is this a song written by Director Zhou?" Sun Qin asked nene.
"I'm surprised." Wang Junzheng smiled, she likes to see the surprised expressions of others when they hear "Kite", and it would be better if she could hear crying.
"If you know the plot of "Heaven's Reply", you will definitely feel more emotional, but the script can't be shown to you."
Sun Qin nodded, he began to understand why Wang Junzheng would modify the movie lens for a tune, because it was worth it.
There are many kinds of good songs, some of which are high and low, and have a certain threshold for appreciation; Some of them sound average at first glance, but they sound good after listening to them a few times; There are also some that can catch the ears of the listeners when they listen to them for the first time.
This "Kite" belongs to the third type.
Sun Qin believes in Wang Junzheng's words, if he can cooperate with the story of "Heaven's Reply", the listening experience will definitely be better. But he thinks that even if it doesn't match any plot images, this piece is enough to move people's hearts when eaten on its own.
Such a song will definitely add a lot of points to the movie.
If their promotional video can also be accompanied by a tune of this quality......
"Director Wang, can I take this tape back?" Sun Qin couldn't help but ask.
He knew that if he wanted to convince the group leader to agree to hand over the soundtrack to someone else, he had to let the group leader hear the tune.
In fact, Sun Qin was not very hopeful when he asked this question, but what he didn't expect was that Wang Junzheng actually nodded, "Yes, but this is the only copy in our data room, if you want it, I have to copy it again." ”
They have a machine for copying tapes in the factory, so it's not a hassle.
In fact, Sun Qin didn't need to take care of anything about the tape, anyway, the music in it was all on file, which means that it had already been published, but now it was for Sun Qin to hear it in advance.
Sun Qin said gratefully, "Thank you Director Wang." ”
"Haha, no thanks, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will also help our factory do a special topic." Wang Junzheng said with a smile.
Director Wang said with a smile, where do you still need us to help promote, but if you are willing, you can ask for help when we do a special topic related to the movie. When it comes to Chinese films, you Yanjing Film Studio must not fail to mention them. ”
"Hey, don't hold us." Wang Jun was waving his hand, "I'll go and ask them to copy the tape for you." ”
……
After getting the copied tape, Sun Qin hurried to the TV station, but halfway through the ride, he stopped again.
After pondering in place for a moment, Sun Qin finally turned around and rode in the direction of Yang Yin.
He realized that he had to talk to Zhou Yan first to see what Zhou Yan thought about the soundtrack of the promotional video, otherwise he might not have any good results if he rashly went back to find Sun Zonglu.
"Kite" is indeed a good tune, but it is not suitable for their promotional film "Memories of Yanjing".
Some people can write a certain kind of music well, but it does not prove that they can also write another kind of music.
But when Sun Qin arrived at the gate of Yangyin's school, he remembered one thing - he didn't know where Zhou Yan lived.
Sun Qin only knew two pieces of information, his name and major, and he didn't even know what grade Zhou Yan was in.
But since he got to the door, he could only look for it, he looked around the door, and then stopped a male classmate.
"Hello, classmate, do you know Zhou Yan?"
Sun Qin just wanted to try his luck, and he didn't think that he could ask a random person, but the boy actually said, "You're talking about Senior Brother Zhou Yan from the composition department, right?" ”
"Yes, that's right, from the composition department, do you know your classmates?" Sun Qin was surprised.
The boy nodded, "Well, at this point he should be in the classroom of the composition department, enter through this gate, go straight, and pass through the ......"
Halfway through the conversation, the boy may feel a little twisted, and simply say, "I'll take you there." ”
In fact, the central sound is not big, but the road inside is more winding, so it is more troublesome to describe.
The boy took Sun Qin to the classroom of the composition department, and then Sun Qin saw Zhou Yan standing on the podium lecturing.
This scene made Sun Qin a little trance-like, he suddenly felt that his memory was deviated, that day Zhou Yan said that he was studying in Central Yin, not teaching, right?
