Chapter 533: Zhang Yimou's Invitation!? Write the theme song for the movie "The Great Wall"!
By the time the interview was over, it had already darkened when I got home.
Winter nights always come extra early.
Just when Jiang Yi wanted to take a good rest, his mobile phone suddenly rang.
Finding out that it was Mei Rou's call, Jiang Yi was a little strange, after all, the two had just been separated for less than half an hour.
Connect the phone.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yi asked.
Mei Rou's somewhat excited voice came over on the other side of the phone, "Jiang Yi, Director Zhang Yimou contacted me just now, saying that he wanted to invite you out for lunch at noon tomorrow." ”
It's no wonder Mei Rou is so excited, after all, this is a conspiracy of Zhang.
He has made countless movies that have left a history of photography!
Although Jiang Yi is not an actor, if he is good friends, it will be beneficial to Jiang Yi.
After Jiang Yi heard Mei Rou's words, he was also a little surprised.
"Did the other party say that it was because of something?"
"That's not true, but I heard that Director Zhang is planning to make a new movie recently, and I asked you to dinner probably for the theme song of the new movie."
That's probably the only thing I think about.
Jiang Yi thought for a few seconds before responding, "Okay, then this matter is decided, you can send me the time and place later." ”
Next.
Midday.
Red Pavilion.
This is a well-known private restaurant that only serves five tables a day, and people come and go, whether rich or expensive.
From the moment you drive into their private parking lot, there will be a special waiter to guide you.
All the way to the box on the second floor, when Jiang Yi pushed the door in, Zhang Yimou had already arrived.
"Director Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
At this time, there was still half an hour before the time they agreed, and Jiang Yi didn't expect Zhang Yimou to come so early, and when he saw him, his footsteps stopped for a moment.
Zhang Yimou waved his hand, "I only arrived a few minutes earlier than you." ”
Jiang Yi sat down next to Zhang Yimou.
And Zhang Yimou didn't beat around the bush, and directly said the purpose of his coming to Jiang Yi today.
"Jiang Yi, I think you should also guess why I came to you today, I want to ask you to write a song for my new movie, I don't know what you think."
Zhang Yimou looked at Jiang Yi and waited, and Jiang Yi gave himself an answer.
During this time, Jiang Yi's explosion was like Mars hitting the earth.
In terms of strength and fame, there is probably no second person in the entire circle who can compare with Jiang Yi.
And this is also one of the biggest reasons why Zhang Yimou came to Jiang Yi.
His new film has been basically completed so far, and then it will enter the publicity stage.
And Jiang Yi's fame can play a good role in publicity.
After all, no matter how good a movie is, if it can't be promoted during the publicity and distribution stage, it will also lead to unsatisfactory box office of the movie.
Even Zhang Yimou has to pay attention to this.
And with Jiang Yi's current fame, he composed the theme song for the movie, which will definitely bring enough attention to the movie!
Hearing this, Jiang Yi was not too surprised because he had guessed before.
"Director Zhang, can I take the liberty of asking, what type of new movie is yours?"
"Of course, I'm going to let you take a look at it first."
Zhang Yimou took out the computer he had brought with him.
Before he came, he made a rough copy of it and put it on his computer.
After the picture lit up and the characters appeared, Jiang Yi immediately knew which movie it was.
This is "The Great Wall".
Jiang Yi also watched this movie in his previous life, but it is not that it is a bad movie, it can be said that the answer sheet handed in by this movie at the end did not meet the psychological expectations that it brought to people before.
After all, before the release of the movie, in an interview, according to Zhang Yimou himself, the investment in this movie was as high as 10 billion.
Moreover, the actors participating in the show are not only powerful actors of the old school, but also those top performers of the new generation, and they are also Sino-foreign co-productions, and even Hollywood powerful actors play the leading roles.
Such a lineup, coupled with Zhang Yimou's consistent shooting style, as well as the type of the movie itself, has brought everyone's sense of expectation to the top.
But after the release, many people were a little disappointed.
Zhang Yimou's style has always been big scenes, big special effects, and big productions, but this movie doesn't seem to have anything else besides these.
The plot is also not very pleasant.
But as the saying goes.
Bad movies come out of the divine comedy.
Although the movie The Great Wall is half on the street, his theme song is a hot mess!
This cut is only a part, and it is now coming to an end.
Jiang Yi withdrew his gaze from the computer.
"Director Zhang, do you have any special requirements for the style of the theme song of the movie?"
Jiang Yi didn't intend to reject Zhang Yimou, after all, it was also a good thing for him.
Hearing Jiang Yi's words, Zhang conspired to close the computer.
"I'm an expert in making movies, but I'm an amateur in writing and singing songs, I believe Jiang Yi can have your own style and grasp."
Hearing this, Jiang Yi thought for a few seconds and nodded, "No problem, I'll hand over the finished product to you in a week." ”
A week?
Zhang Yimou was a little surprised.
Although as he said, he is a layman in terms of lyrics and singing, but he also knows a little about it.
Who writes a new song doesn't start in half a month and a month, but Jiang Yi said that he can hand over the finished product in a week.
It's hard not to be surprised.
But looking at Jiang Yi's indifferent expression, it made people unable to say anything questioning.
In the end, Zhang Yimou also chose to believe Jiang Yi.
"In that case, then I'll wait for your news."
"Director Zhang rest assured."
Seeing Jiang Yi's attitude, Zhang Yimou's appreciation deepened.
He likes to deal with people like that.
In fact, at first, Zhang Yimou didn't think about coming to Jiang Yi to cooperate.
At the beginning, the theme song of the movie was also wanted to be solved by the later soundtrack team, but the demos they handed in several times were not very satisfactory.
It's not that it's bad, it's just that Zhang Yimou always feels that there are shortcomings.
Until I heard the moonlight sung by Jiang Yi by mistake.
Although the song Moonlight is not very compatible with the movie The Great Wall, Zhang Yimou has an intuition that Jiang Yi can write a theme song that satisfies him!
Coupled with Jiang Yi's current reputation in the circle, Zhang Yimou did not hesitate too much and chose to come to him.
"One more thing, Jiang Yi, I hope you can sing this song in person! As for the price, Jiang Yi, you just need to mention it, I will definitely give it to you according to the highest standards in the industry, and I will never let you suffer! ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yi didn't feel embarrassed, and nodded directly.
"Yes, as for the price, Director Zhang, just look at it, I believe in Director Zhang, you are a person."
