Chapter 274: Special Second Wave Hit

On the way to Shi Wanchun's office, Zhou Yan happened to meet Guo Wenjing, the deputy director of the department, and greeted him with a smile, "Senior Brother Wenjing." ”

"Senior Brother Zhou Yan, are you looking for Teacher Shi?"

"Well, the teacher called me over and said he had something to tell me."

Guo Wenjing said with a smile, "It should be a good thing." ”

Hearing Guo Wenjing say this, Zhou Yan asked, "Senior brother, what news do you have to share with me?" ”

"I won't tell you, let Teacher Shi tell you, I haven't seen you for a few days, what have you been busy with lately?"

"Busy with my new movie."

As an internationally renowned composer, Guo Wenjing goes out more frequently, similar to Zhou Yan, which is equivalent to a mascot, and there is not much he can take care of in the department.

"Movie."

But it's understandable, after all, he didn't do anything in this position, and he was completely a mascot-like existence.

Seeing Catherine's worries, Brigman said, "You don't have to worry too much, your on-site performance must be fine, but the presentation in the lens still needs to wait for the film to be washed out." You know, sometimes what we see with our eyes is not the same as what the camera captures. ”

Yang Hongnian sat for about two or three minutes, then got up to say goodbye, and when he left, he said to Zhou Yan with a smile, "Teacher Zhou has time to sit in our conducting department, I heard Yue Lin say that your orchestra is going to recruit another conductor." ”

"Next, we will play 'yellow' for everyone, let's get a feel for Y-chou's musical talent."

"Basically, nothing has changed, it's just that you've moved this vase from one place to another."

"Yes, now that the orchestra has many performances, Yue Lin can't take care of it, and he has to trouble Mr. Yang to help recommend it when he goes back."

"I heard that this movie is related to education and music?"

Zhou Yan nodded and walked in.

There is nothing to show off in this song, it is all slowly telling.

"Why don't I arrange it?"

When Elsa turned on the radio, the song was already playing, and she didn't even know it was a new tune.

Brigman smiled, "I've done well today, go back and wait for the notice." ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, I see." ”

"No problem."

When the piano orchestra was first established, it was basically all students, but after several years of development, some students have graduated.

"Haha, my assistant to the head of the department does have a bit of a corpse vegetarian meal."

"What?" Zhou Yan was stunned for a long time, and after a long time, he was also promoted.

Catherine was stunned for a moment, then replied truthfully, "I met him in London before. ”

The audition of the crew is very strict, the director and the producer will chat with her for a while, and then she will be asked to wear the specified clothes, and then the crew's makeup artist will put her on makeup.

Liu Lin smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, you can come in and sit." ”

In fact, she wanted to go over to say hello at that time, but in the end, she didn't go over, no one introduced her, and she suddenly ran away, which was really presumptuous.

They are now officially working, although Zhou Yan has arranged a basic salary for them, but if the performance is not enough, it will be difficult for their income to increase.

"This voice is a little familiar."

Then the two chatted a few more words, and someone came to Liu Lin, so Zhou Yan got up and said goodbye.

Yesterday, the movie "Blue Juice" starring her was released, but the result can no longer be described as ordinary, she herself went to watch a nearby movie, and there were few audiences in the entire theater.

Zhou Yan sat down obediently, and then Shi Wanchun put down the pen in his hand and said, "I asked you to come over, I told you to hand over the work, and from this semester onwards, Lin Xiao officially took over the position of assistant to the head of the department." ”

This also means that "The Sixth Sense" is her only chance now, and if she can't win "The Sixth Sense", she really has to go back to London.

For Guo Wenjing, these awards in the industry are very important, and these things directly affect his future development.

Catherine's performance after that was also very good, she played the heroine's feeling of being a little resentful and containing longing.

"Well, you wait for my news."

"Mr. Briegman, I could have done better in that scene."

"There will be more international performances in the future, and the last two performances in the UK were quite good, and the orchestra has a little bit of fame over there."

When Catherine appeared in front of the camera, producer Briegman couldn't help but nodded, Zhou Yan's vision is good, and this actress has a very good temperament.

Next Tuesday, "Young and Beautiful" will be released, and as long as the results are not too bad, it will be okay.

"A very touching song, Maria's fifth album, gave us two waves of surprises in a row. Especially this song, which is different from her previous songs, from my personal experience, this is also the song that touched me the most after "Without You". ”

And what the teacher said was too easy, he opened his mouth to let him win two National Composition Awards, can this thing be a bag?

……

Turning his head, Zhou Yan knocked on the door of Shi Wanchun's office.

Out of Shi Wanchun's office, Zhou Yan walked directly towards Liu Lin's office.

She suddenly felt that her development in Hollywood was not without hope.

It's not just that Zhou Yan is rarely in school, but Guo Wenjing, the deputy director, actually goes out often.

Columbia Records is also very happy that they have got the data ahead of schedule, and this song should be able to win the top list this week, which will be the first female song in history to empty the crown.

"Which company and who is the director?"

"Teacher Yang walks slowly."

"This matter has already been voted on, if you have an opinion, if you see President Liu, tell him yourself."

Hearing "The Sixth Sense", Catherine was stunned for a moment, because she had only met Zhou Yan in London some time ago.

Vance laughs, "There's good news there's a great job offer right now that invites you to audition." ”

"Movie or TV series?"

Now it seems that even if she hasn't watched it four or five times, she must have studied the role carefully.

Hearing Shi Wanchun's words, Zhou Yan was quite surprised, his dismissal came too suddenly.

On the afternoon of the sixteenth, Catherine went to the audition for "The Sixth Sense" with trepidation.

Hearing that Zhou Yan would arrange more international venues, Liu Lin nodded, very satisfied.

"Heaven, when I enter heaven, is he with me......

When I arrived at Liu Lin's office, Yang Hongnian from the command department was also there.

Shi Wanchun lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "You're embarrassed." ”

Catherine auditioned for the scene where she had dinner with the male lead, and director Martin Brest personally played for her.

"Well, I understand, then I'll go back and wait for the notice."

On the way back, she heard Mariah Carey's latest single "Fantasy" on the radio.

"Fans, call me, is there any good news?" Catherine asked.

"Then borrow the auspicious words of the senior brother."

Although Guo Wenjing has not done much work in the department, he is the most promising person to succeed Shi Wanchun and become the head of the department.

These three advantages are so attractive to students.

Maria's singing, beautiful melodies, and touching lyrics all combine to make it feel like a movie is playing in front of Elsa's eyes.

"Okay, you hurry up and bring the script, I'll read more."

Since Liu Lin said so, Zhou Yan was no longer polite, "Then thank you for the school's support." ”

"It won't be too long, there will be results tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. By the way, Van S told you, if you are sure to play this role, the movie will start soon, and you have no problem with your schedule, right? ”

And this lyrics, which match the melody too well.

First, the Piano Youth Orchestra is famous and listens to a lot; Second, the Piano Youth Orchestra has a lot of allowances, as long as you join the orchestra, you basically don't have to worry about daily necessities; Thirdly, the Piano Youth Orchestra has a fixed rehearsal space, and the facilities are much better than those of the school, and there is no need to compete with others for time.

And the more she read the script, the more determined she became to win the role.

"Well, yes, it's about education and music."

"What's wrong with vases, our school has been teaching more vases for so many years. Do you think vases are good? An unsightly vase is an eyesore wherever it is placed. ”

However, in the end, the woman did not get a response and fell into the dark night.

In fact, these musicians, there are also some outside orchestras are digging, after the last time their orchestra performed in London, a British orchestra came to contact, and wanted to poach the orchestra's violin principal Hong Chen, but Hong Chen refused.

Before reading the script, she heard that it was a horror movie, but after reading the script, she insisted that this movie was not scary at all, it was completely a movie about love and family.

"It's time to be humble, I know, you have a lot of things to do now, and you don't have time to do this, but you must pay attention to it in the next two years."

Without waiting for Zhou Yan to speak, Shi Wanchun said again, "There are a lot of things you have to do in the past few years, evaluate associate professors, win the Fok Yingdong Award, and if you have time, win the National Composition Award for another two years." Compared with Guo Wenjing now, what you lack is industry awards. How do I feel that you are not at all enthusiastic about winning the award? If you take out "Eternal Night" or "Flowing Wind" to participate in the awards, you can also win some big and small awards. ”

Yang Hongnian also said, "My matter is almost over, Zhou Yan, you come in and wait for a while." ”

"I'm still far from the other seniors."

After hanging up the phone, Catherine was still very excited.

"Midsummer night, July is not young, we are young and frivolous, not afraid of the long years."

Catherine came to Hollywood a few years ago because she met Jean Peters, and acted in a TV series and a movie, but the response was mediocre, and she had no choice but to return to London and continue to appear in stage plays.

Although the lyrics are pleading, they are still full of pride.

"In that case, I'll have to ask you for a script in advance, and there's nowhere to watch the movie now."

Although there is only one teacher in the Piano Youth Orchestra, Zhou Yan, the repertoire is relatively single, and the history is relatively short, but the advantages of the Piano Youth Orchestra are not available to several other orchestras.

"In that case, when your movie is released, our school will also go to the cinema to charter a scene to support the scene."

Some graduated from bachelor's degree and stayed directly in school for graduate school, while others signed directly in the studio as official musicians of the orchestra.

The movie has been drawn in North America for a long time, and the disc has not come out, and the only opportunity to watch the movie is that some TV stations may buy the broadcast rights of the movie.

"Colombian, you should have heard it, there were a lot of reports some time ago, that is, the "Sixth Sense" that they are going to remake."

Although Brigman did not say the result, what he said and his attitude made Catherine feel hopeful.

Catherine only learned about the film on the news when Columbia was going to remake it later.

She is convinced that the film will definitely be a success.

If the response to "Blue Juice" is not good, she really doesn't know if she should still stay in Hollywood.

There is a lot of work in the department, and Lin Xiao helps run up and down.

"On the morning of the sixteenth, have you seen the movie "The Sixth Sense"?"

"You don't have to think so, everyone is doing their part, and they're doing a good job. The school needs not only people like Lin Xiao and Huang Xuanliang who can help deal with mundane affairs, but also a faΓ§ade like you and Guo Wenjing. Shi Wanchun took a puff of cigarette and continued, "Removing you from the post of assistant to the head of the department does not mean that you don't have to do anything, the leaders have already voted to start this semester, and you will officially assume the position of assistant to the dean." ”

When they were chatting just now, Catherine said that she had read the script four or five times for this role.

For example, the position of head of the composition department, no matter how strong your work ability is, if you don't have good grades in composition, you can't hold it.

At this time, the voice of the radio host came out.

"Okay, don't rely on me anymore, go to Principal Liu's office, you will be his assistant in the future, go and hear what work arrangements he has for you."

"Okay, it's very busy at the beginning of school, you can go in, if you have time, our colleagues in the department will have a meal together."

"Well, good luck."

In the movie, a peerless woman stands on the seashore under the sunset, and as the sunset gradually disappears into the sea level, her figure slowly disappears into the darkness.

The single was only released on Tuesday, but it's already very popular, and she often hears it on the radio, and she likes Mariah Carey a lot, and she likes it, and now she has some anticipation for the new album.

The lyrics are concise and catchy.

She heard the song on the radio on her way home from work.

Especially in the middle paragraph, constantly "asking", regret, unwillingness, and expectation, all kinds of complex emotions suddenly poured into Elsa's heart.

But the style of this song is so special.

Zhou Yan walked in with a smile, "Teacher, are you looking for me?" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yan was a little embarrassed, "It's really hard for Senior Brother Lin." ”

When she finished her clothes and makeup, and was about to leave, she happened to meet Briegman.

"It's not troublesome, if you want someone, just pick it up. There aren't many students in our command department, and you all know each other. Okay, let's talk, I'll go first. ”

The original version of the movie "The Sixth Sense" has a box office of more than 10 million US dollars in North America, and since the Colombian remake, the box office must be more than that, as long as the final box office can exceed more than 10 million, it will become the highest-grossing movie she participated in.

Mainly because the two orchestras that came to poach people were actually not particularly famous, if there were really those relatively large orchestras to poach people, even if Hong Chen himself didn't go, Zhou Yan would persuade him to leave.

It's just that now she doesn't have much heart to listen to songs, and "The Sixth Sense" is what she should care about.

"When is your new movie coming out?" Liu Lin asked about the new movie again.

"It must be the heroine, there are not a few female characters in this movie, and you can't play the mother of the little male protagonist."

Then she felt that she was acting too anxious, and added, "It's just that this time is not too busy." ”

"It's a good thing to perform more, I originally wanted to tell you about it, but now that the Piano Youth Orchestra is becoming more and more famous, it really can't be wasted. And now there are many people in the orchestra who have graduated, and they have more time. ”

"That's good." Brigman nodded, then asked, "Do you know Y-chou?" ”

And without his knowledge, they have all voted.

Before he even walked in front of the camera, he had already tossed for four or five hours.

After Yang Hongnian left, Liu Lin said to Zhou Yan with a smile, "Did you just come from Teacher Shi's side?" ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, there will be more performances at the beginning of this semester, on average, there will be one performance a week." ”

The voice...... It seems to be Mary!

Not long after Catherine Zeta-Jones flew from London to the United States, she received a call from her agent, Van Si.

The director did not immediately announce the results, which made Catherine a little uneasy, she wanted to ask the director how it was, but she was too embarrassed to speak, so she could only nod her head and go to change her clothes.

"What role am I going to audition for?"

Zhou Yan set up the Piano Youth Orchestra for two purposes, one was to facilitate the performance of his own tunes, and the other was to help the school train students.

Guo Wenjing is a student of the 77th and 78th grades, and Tan Dun and Chen Qigang are all in the same class, and Zhou Yangang came back from abroad to teach in the year before last, and became the deputy director of the composition department the year before last.

"Teacher Yang is also here, why don't I come back later?"

Shi Wanchun nodded, "Sit down." ”

"Come in."

"Thank you."

Seeing that Shi Wanchun compared himself to a vase, Zhou Yan pursed his lips, "Teacher, you are too straightforward." ”

"Well, then I wish you a box office hit."

Lin Xiao is a teacher in the department and Zhou Yan's senior brother, who entered the school in 82 years, and stayed in the school to teach after graduating with a master's degree, and he is also responsible for being a person.

"What song is this, the second wave of the album? I've never heard of propaganda before. ”

At the end of the audition, Martin Brest smiled, "It's good, the audition is over, you go back and wait for news." ”

Zhou Yan nodded, got up and said, "Then I'll go first." ”

The last time I saw Zhou Yan in London, she only knew that Zhou Yan was a musician at first, and then she heard from others that she knew that the recently famous "Sixth Sense" was directed by him.

But for Catherine now, this doesn't matter at all, for this role, she has read the script four or five times in the past few days.

The reason why Zhou Yan will increase the frequency of performances is also because of these people.

Although the cost of this film is very low, it is also difficult to recoup the cost.

"I'm waiting for the release."

Hearing that it was the heroine, Catherine's eyes lit up, "When is the audition?" ”

In fact, the reason why Zhou Yan did not participate in the competition was because there was no need for these for the time being.

"It's probably going to be the end of the year, and the final time hasn't been determined yet."

"Nope."

……

Because of the lack of publicity, Elsa, as a fan of Mariah Carey, only learned that the album's second wave of title songs was released on the afternoon of the nineteenth.

……

"There is no work arrangement, everything is business as usual, and a letter of appointment will be issued when I come back, which needs to be publicized. I just heard you have a conversation with Mr. Yang, will there be more orchestra performances in the future? ”

Now the Piano Junior Orchestra can be said to be the ace orchestra of their school, and several orchestras of the school are recruiting new ones at the same time, and the students will give priority to the Piano Junior Orchestra.

With such a good start, the subsequent development of this album will definitely not be bad.

Liu Lin waved his hand, "No need, the school can still afford the funds for chartering movies." ”

"How's it going?"

"No problem, I'll go meet Senior Brother Lin in a while."

In fact, when we first met just now, Brigman felt that Catherine's appearance was a little too wild and sharp, but now she changed her clothes and put on makeup and sat at the table, and she felt different, a bit of a heroine.

Looking at the back of Guo Wenjing's departure, Zhou Yan smiled, although one of them is the deputy director of the department and the other is the assistant to the department head, they have met very few times in the school in the past two years.

"You don't have to meet, just hand over to me, he is doing a lot of your work, and there is nothing to hand over to him."

Originally, they wanted to follow the promotion of the second wave of the main hit, but now that the first single is so strong, the company has also decided to put more resources on the first song and try to win a few more weekly titles.

And now, what she needs to do is to seize this opportunity and take down the heroine.

"But the difference is that 'With Ou You' is a cover song, and this one is an original. The lyrics and arrangements for this song were all done by the famous musician and director Y-chou, and I want to hear this name, and many fans will have the answer in their hearts why this song is so different. Y-chou doesn't write many songs, the last one we heard was "yellow" by Backstreet Boys. ”

Besides, these people are willing to stay in the Piano Youth Orchestra, mainly not for that salary, but also for a better development in music.

She didn't expect that now "The Sixth Sense" would invite her to audition.

"No, no, I follow the school's arrangement, but this assistant to the dean, has the content of the job changed a lot?"

Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh, this is shady, the job transfer after more than two years has now been determined.

This morning, she got bad news.

If you want to develop, you can't do it without performances.

Catherine went to find out that she was the only one who came to audition, and there was only one heroine in the whole movie.

And these works, the most recent of which were also completed at the beginning of the year, so she has not worked in Hollywood for more than eight months.

In the past two years, Mariah Carey's career has been a bit high and low, and her performance has not been satisfactory, but this year's new single is refreshing.

When a song ended, Elsa let out a long sigh of relief, and in the last part, she almost forgot to breathe, she was already driven by the song, waiting for God to give the peerless woman an answer.

It wasn't until she had listened to two sentences that she heard it.

"Yes, the teacher told me, let me see what your work schedule is."

Catherine hurriedly said, "No problem at all. ”

……

Last year, she came to Hollywood again and acted in several productions, two of which have already been broadcast, but the response has been very mediocre, and another film, "Blue Juice," will be released in the middle of this month.

As soon as "Fantasy" was released, it was loved by a large number of fans.

Therefore, the publicity of "Young and Beautiful" is a little smaller than previously planned.

After Brigman left, Catherine was still thinking about what had just happened, she didn't quite understand why Brigman asked this in the end, could it be that she came to audition, and it had something to do with Y?

But her only connection to Y was at the bar, and they didn't talk at the time.

And after listening to this song, Elsa's heart was also full of questions.

Why did he support Zhou Yan to start a piano youth orchestra at that time, this is the purpose.

Because the style and singing style are different from Mary Carey's previous songs, Elsa didn't hear that it was Mary Carey singing at the first time.

Shi Wanchun smiled and continued, "I will step down in more than two years, if nothing else, it will be Guo Wenjing who will take over my class at that time, and President Liu has the same idea as me, I hope that you will be the deputy director of the department at that time." ”

Hearing that the lyrics and arrangements were all Y-chou, Elsa was a little puzzled, because she didn't know much about this musician, but the host said that "yellow" she had heard some time ago and it was indeed a good song.

Although she didn't know much about Y-chou, she was very happy that Mariah Carey could sing this song.

She thinks that this song is better than the first wave of the main hit "Fantasy". (End of chapter)
