"I heard that Maria will be here today, but I don't know if it's true."

As she lined up to enter, Selena kept looking inside the concert hall for Mariah Carey.

Her boyfriend, Paul, laughed next to him, "I just heard someone say that Mariah Carey is indeed on the scene. ”

"That's great, maybe she'll be able to sing live."

Paul shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know. ”

At the premiere of "Sense and Sensibility", the organizers released a total of more than 500 tickets to the general audience, and Selena and Paul were two of the lucky ones.

Although the concert hall is large and can accommodate nearly 3,000 people, after all, it is a movie, not a symphony performance, and it is impossible for the organizers to open so many tickets in order to ensure the viewing effect.

But there is no way, if there are too many people on the scene, the viewing effect is really not good, An Li even thinks that there are too many more than 700 viewers at the scene today.

Although the festival does not stipulate the age of the director, until now, no director in his twenties has won the festival award.

Zhou Yan nodded, turned around and walked to the piano.

In fact, it is not only Linda who pays attention to this, but Maria Carey also pays attention to this.

He didn't rush to sit down, but bowed to the stage before sitting down on the piano bench.

The applause of the audience was very loud, and it was a great way to call for the two to return to the stage.

Speaking of which, he and Zhou Yan are also rivals this time, because this time "Sense and Sensibility" and "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" were both voted for the Berlin Film Festival.

The host smiled, "This is exactly what you are good at, as we all know, in your music, the combination of classical and modern music is very beautiful, so in addition to the style, can you talk about it specifically?" ”

The whole piece is full of regrets, the attributes that drive emotions are particularly strong, and very ear-catching, and the last point is particularly important, a popular song must be ear-to-ear and easy to remember.

Although Selena doesn't know much about the piano, looking at Zhou Yan's posture of playing the piano, it is not comparable to ordinary piano players.

The pace of the song is slow, and so is Mariah Carey's pace, as if every lyric is under her feet.

Then a very light melody sounded, this is not "Young and Beautiful", but "Stealing Joy" from the "Piano Boy" album.

An Li won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival at the age of 36 with "Pushing Hands", and he is already a very young director.

And An Li believes that Zhou Yan's movie must be very competitive.

Zhou Yan gave a thumbs up, "Very good suggestion." ”

"That's right, okay, thank you very much for sharing."

Of course, he couldn't finish playing "Tears", and after only playing a short segment, he picked up "Young and Beautiful".

When it was time to sing until the chorus, she finally walked in front of Zhou Yan.

She wasn't really interested in movies like "Sense and Sensibility" because of the song, and now being able to hear Mariah Carey sing it live, she felt like she was dreaming.

And there are a lot of tunes in "Sense and Sensibility", but it doesn't feel out of place at all, it makes people feel that there should be soundtracks in these places, and these soundtracks are just right.

Selena never imagined that she would see Mariah Carey's performance live because of a movie premiere.

And it was the original songwriter Y-chou who accompanied Maria, although he was far less well-known in North America than Maria, but he was a real musician after all, which made Selena feel very face-saving.

Zhou Yan nodded and took the microphone from Emma Thompson next to him, "When I was sounding this movie, most of my inspiration came from Emma's script. I saw a lot of epochal reinterpretations from the script, so when it came to the soundtrack, there were a lot of modern elements in addition to the classical elements. ”

If it weren't for the good results of "Little Women" last year, Colombia would not have thought of filming "Sense and Sensibility".

At this time, Maria Carey also slowly walked up from the stage.

After "Whispering Joy", he picked up a piece of "Tears" and lowered the rhythm.

Now the premiere has invited Zhou Yan and Mariah Carey to perform live, and the effect is really good, An Li never thought that a premiere ceremony could have the effect of a concert.

In this process, there will definitely be a lot of exaggeration in Bragman's words, to highlight how difficult it is to make this film.

However, Zhou Yan should have no problem being shortlisted this year, no matter what the film looks like, the Berlin Film Festival will definitely give Zhou Yan and Tomson Film Company a face and give them a place to be shortlisted.

The previous two songs, there may be many people in the audience who have not heard them, but when this song sounds, almost everyone can recognize it, this song has been so popular recently, TV, radio, you can hear it everywhere.

Although he didn't see the original film of "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", he knew Zhou Yan, and since Zhou Yan could send the film to the film festival for exhibition, he must have some confidence in this movie.

Just now Zhou Yan said that she didn't know how to play the piano, and Selena thought it was true, but now she finds out that she has been deceived, can this be like not being able to play the piano?

Zhou Yan also came on stage, but most of the time the director was chatting with a few leading actors, and when this link was about to end, the host was especially cue to Zhou Yan.

The host smiled, "It doesn't matter, if you don't play well, we will claim that the piano is not tuned well." ”

“will you still love me，when Im no longer young and beautiful。”

"Now, the stage will be handed over to you."

It's a pity that there are still too few people in the concert hall today, and if the whole concert hall is full, the atmosphere will definitely be very good.

This piece is light, humorous, and very simple to play, which can also make Zhou Yan familiar with the piano and do a short warm-up.

In fact, when he took over this movie, An Li did not have high expectations for the box office of the movie, after all, there are shortcomings in the commerciality of films adapted from literary masterpieces such as "Sense and Sensibility".

"I still don't want to talk too much, otherwise when I watch the movie for a while, there will be a lack of mystery. And music is a very subjective thing, and let the audience judge for themselves how the soundtrack of the movie is. ”

Although they have tried their best to make movies that are pleasing to ordinary audiences, it is very difficult to compare with those popular movies.

After the performance, several guests took the stage to give speeches, and then the official movie began.

Although this is a concert hall, many people can't help but sing along.

If this was the song she heard at the time, I'm afraid she would have put it on the new album as well. I just don't know if the results can be as good as "Young and Beautiful".

At that time, he chose to invite Zhou Yan to serve as the soundtrack director of "Sense and Sensibility" for many reasons, the most important thing is, of course, to value Zhou Yan's musical talent.

The premiere of "Sense and Sensibility" was a great success, and after the film was played, the audience stood up and applauded the film.

She was very surprised that there were still tunes in this movie that were suitable for making songs.

The most important thing is that Zhou Yan's age disadvantage is too great.

then introduced why Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet and others were invited to participate, and finally mentioned Zhou Yan, telling that it was not easy to invite Zhou Yan to the soundtrack, of course, he also praised Zhou Yan by the way.

After Zhou Yan finished playing the prelude, he suddenly stopped.

First of all, "Sense and Sensibility" is originally a classic masterpiece, with a literary buff bonus, and An Li Ke is a frequent visitor to the film festival, and has won several awards before this.

Selena is one of them, and she loves this song so much.

After this part ended, the host invited the main creators with a smile, but when Zhou Yan walked down, he suddenly said, "Y, please stay for a while." ”

In addition, what surprised Linda the most was that there were some tunes in it, and it felt like it could be written into songs, especially the one that often accompanied Colonel Bryden.

For example, when An Li was invited to be the director, Columbia also thought about it for a long time when making this decision, and praised An Li by the way.

However, this show was arranged in advance, and Zhou Yan had already warmed up in advance, so his fingers were not stiff.

Although that piece does not appear in a continuous and complete way in the movie, it does appear in different places, and if this piece is connected together, it is like a complete song.

And Columbia's box office expectations for the film are not particularly high, although the production cost is 16 million US dollars, as long as the global box office can exceed 20 million US dollars, they are satisfied.

Hearing Zhou Yan say on stage that she was not very good at playing the piano, Linda in the audience couldn't help but smile, she knew that Zhou Yan was very good at playing the piano.

While warming up himself, he can also warm up the scene, mobilize the audience's sense of hearing, and pave the way for the later performances.

But today she found that the soundtrack of "Sense and Sensibility" is really surprising, in addition to "Young and Beautiful", there are many eye-catching tunes.

Originally, Selena was a big fan of Mariah Carey, and this new song was especially appealing to her, and when this song first came out, she would call the radio every day to order this song.

After this part passed, the host invited a few lucky viewers to come on stage to interact with the main creators.

Colombia made this film and found An Lee, originally had this intention, they wanted to use this film to win awards at the film festival, and An Lee's achievements at the film festival are obvious to all.

I have to say that it is really not easy for female stars, on such a cold day, Mariah Carey walked up in an off-the-shoulder dress.

But these things are not in a hurry, the film has already been submitted to the film festival, and if it can get some awards at the film festival, the copyright will sell very well.

When the piano sounded again, a graceful female voice appeared on the scene.

But he never expected that there would be such a surprise, the movie has not yet been released, and the soundtrack in it has already become popular all over the country.

When Zhou Yan played the piano, it was in line with Selena's imagination of the piano prince.

He sat down on the piano bench and looked around the piano, and just as the audience looked puzzled and didn't understand what he was going to do, he put his hand on the piano again.

After the movie started, most people focused on the movie screen and the storyline, but Linda pricked up her ears and listened attentively to the music in the movie, as long as it was a song in the movie, she didn't want to miss it.

After the production representative finished speaking, the host began to invite the main creators to the stage and let them share their creative experience and feelings about the film.

After watching it, they knew that the movie wouldn't be too bad at the box office.

Not long after Selena and the others sat down, the host announced that the premiere had officially begun.

A lot of movies, overusing the soundtrack, can make people feel bored.

The ceremony was very simple, with the producers taking the stage on behalf of Briegman to introduce the background of the film and the production process, and then thanking all the people involved in the production of the film.

An Li sat under the stage, watching the performance on stage, and the corners of his mouth were almost irrepressible.

However, in general, An Lee's advantage is a little greater.

These audiences were all arranged in advance, basically the rain and dew were evenly wet, and all the main creators present were taken care of, including Zhou Yan.

Compared with other singers of the same level, Mariah Carey doesn't have many live performances, so it's rare to hear her singing live.

When the filming of their film first started, there were already copyright owners who were negotiating with Columbia about the copyright.

In addition to the general audience, plus some staff, media workers, and some local guests, there were more than 700 people in total, and even the first floor was not satisfied.

"Y, it's rare to see you appear on such an occasion, as the soundtrack director of this movie, can you talk about the soundtrack?"

Marianne's songs often accompany Colonel Bryden's tune, Eleanor's tune, Colonel Bradon's tune when he returns from the storm with Marianne in his arms......

In Toronto in December, the weather was quite cold, and Zhou Yan only wore a suit, which was not too cold-resistant.

He took a slight breath, then put his hand on the cold keys.

When the female voice sounded, there was a burst of exclamations from the audience, because they could hear it, it was Mary Carey's voice.

So when she was watching the movie, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Zhou Yan not far away.

After stopping Zhou Yan, the host smiled and said to the audience, "Many of the audience present should have heard a song recently, which is "Young and Beautiful", which dominated the charts some time ago. As soon as the song was released, it caused a huge response, becoming the airborne champion in the first week of release, and has been the champion for ten consecutive weeks. ”

……

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "I don't know how to play the piano, I hope you don't be too me." ”

“I've seen the world

done it all，had my cake now

……”

Because there were not many people, the process of checking in was very fast, and after a while, most of the people had already entered the hall and found their places.

Just as An Li was thinking about the Berlin Film Festival, the performance on stage had ended, and Zhou Yan and Mariah Carey bent down to greet the audience.

Every song in it fits very well with the movie picture.

After all, there are many ways to make money for such a movie.

……

But today is not a concert or a concert after all, but the premiere of "Sense and Sensibility", and the two of them can't dominate the crowd, so the performance ends here.

"Some people may not know that the original song of this song is the soundtrack of "Sense and Sensibility". Y happened to be here today, and I would like to ask Y, can you fulfill your wish and play this piece for us at the scene? The piano is ready for you. ”

And inviting so many audiences, it's not very friendly to the local cinema.

No matter what kind of man it is, as long as he wears a suit and plays the piano, he will give people a very handsome feeling, and Y-chou is indeed beautiful.

Some guests also began to congratulate An Lee.

Although Linda is a person in the music industry, she rarely pays attention to the soundtrack of movies.

He doesn't need others to tell An Li how popular this song is, he can often hear this song himself.

And Zhou Yan has already embarked on the road back to Los Angeles amid the lively congratulations.

Because An Li and they were surrounded by a lot of people, he didn't go to say hello to An Lee, but just said to Briegman.

The two came together, but Zhou Yan had to go first, although Briegman would also go to the concert tomorrow night to watch the performance, but he didn't have to rush too much, as long as he arrived in Los Angeles tomorrow. (End of chapter)
