Zhang Wentian has been dormant for nearly ten years, and he is still a well-known director in China and even in the world.
Therefore, the comeback of this great director will inevitably attract the attention of all parties, even if there are a few precedents of loss-making blockbusters, with his fame and connections, it is easy to attract enough investment.
The big stars in the film and television industry in the industry, together with the stakeholders of investors, will definitely want to compete for roles in this new film, even if it is a three-part and four-part match, they will fight to the death.
It doesn't matter if the film loses money, Zhang Wentian's works have always been exhibited abroad, and have won many awards. Who wouldn't want to walk the red carpet at those highly anticipated film festivals
So even if it is to reduce the salary, many people are willing to do it again.
As a newcomer who has just debuted, and is an independent artist and a singer, Lu Chen is not qualified to participate in such a game. His influence and connections in the circle are still too small.
If it wasn't for a coincidence today that allowed him to impress this great director with an absolutely classic song "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant", even if he had a relationship and asked for a trick, it might not be possible!
But now, Zhang Wentian offered to give Lu Chen a small supporting role, which was a surprise!
Lu Chen experienced three stages of life in the dream world, among which Mo Ran is a powerful actor, but unfortunately his star luck is not good, he has always been a supporting role, and has never been popular.
This life belonging to Mo Ran made Lu Chen have a different feeling for actors. He once made a vow in his heart to realize Mo Ran's long-cherished wish in his own world and become a real protagonist.
But food needs to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road needs to be walked step by step. If you run too fast, you will easily get hurt, and Lu Chen will not be hurt.
Therefore, he started his career with pop music, and waited until he had accumulated enough to develop into film and television.
It is precisely because of such a good attitude that Lu Chen didn't think about taking the opportunity to ask Zhang Wentian for a role just now.
The script, crew, and actors are all in place. Isn't it embarrassing if you want to force it in
It would be too stupid to offend Zhang Wentian.
Lu Chen is already satisfied to be able to set his own work as the theme song of the movie.
However, things in the world are so wonderful, he has no desires or demands, and Zhang Wentian wants to repay favors in turn.
Even if it was a small supporting role, Lu Chen was overjoyed and agreed without thinking.
Isn't it silly to play hypocritical and reserved at this time
Lu Chen's joy and excitement made Zhang Wentian smile—that's right.
If Lu Chen could still remain calm and calm under such circumstances, then he would really wonder if the former was the reincarnation of some old monster, or his reputation had declined to the point where he could not impress a young new artist.
The great director nodded and said, "Let's talk about the script and the performance contract when transferring the copyright of the work. Your part will be filmed later, so you have enough time to learn some acting skills and perform well!"
For a singer to be an actor, unless he comes from a major, his acting skills are a big problem. Although Lu Chen's role scenes are very few, he can't make up for it sloppily and rely on his face to get along.
Zhang Wentian's requirements are strict and serious, regardless of whether he is a celebrity or a newcomer.
Lu Chen said happily: "No problem, I will definitely work hard to learn."
With Mo Ran's life memory, he has the ability to control the protagonist, and a small supporting role is naturally easy to catch.
But in front of Zhang Wentian, Lu Chen couldn't show too much self-confidence, there is nothing wrong with being humble.
Zhang Wentian nodded and said: "As for the arrangement of this song, there is also the soundtrack of the movie..."
Lu Chen quickly said: "In terms of arrangement and soundtrack, the juniors are not capable enough."
Just kidding, the soundtrack of a blockbuster movie is a big project, and he is still very self-aware.
This aspect is Lu Chen's biggest weakness, so he has to go to Jingyin to learn and accumulate knowledge.
Zhang Wentian smiled and said: "I mean I can't leave it to you, but as the creator of the theme song, I hope you can provide advice when necessary. I plan to let Professor Gao complete the arrangement and soundtrack."
Oh! Pretending to be sentimental!
Lu Chen blushed suddenly, he was thinking too much - calm down, calm down!
At this moment, out of the corner of Lu Chen's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Qin Qing beside him pursing his lips and snickering.
There is a bit of girlish cuteness.
Lu Chen could only smile wryly.
The arrangement and soundtrack of the film are very important, and it is impossible for Zhang Wentian to let him do it anyway.
After all, his qualifications are too shallow and he has no experience.
Zhang Wentian gave Lu Chen a small supporting role, which meant compensation. It was Lu Chen who provided the theme song.
Gao Yue smiled and said, "It just so happens that Lu Chen is coming to Jingyin to attend a class, so it's very convenient for us to communicate together."
He resolved Lu Chen's little embarrassment very understandingly.
Lu Chen gratefully said: "Professor Gao, I want to learn a lot from you!"
Isn't this another chance for him
Since Zhang Wentian entrusted the work in this area to Gao Yue, who is also a professor of the Jingyin Composition Department, his experience and experience must be extremely rich, and if he can get the other's careful guidance, then learning related knowledge will definitely be more effective.
Zhang Wentian encouraged: "Lu Chen's work has given me confidence. I will be participating in the Capital International Film Festival next year. I will definitely be competing for the Best Music Award!"
Capital International Film Festival, Shanghai International Film Festival and Golden Peony Film Festival are the three major film festivals in China.
Among them, the Capital International Film Festival was established in 2000, sponsored by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and the Beijing Municipal Government. It is an international, professional, innovative, open, high-end and market-oriented large-scale film-themed event. It enjoys a high reputation in the industry for its integrity and professionalism.
The Capital International Film Festival aims to integrate domestic and international film resources and build a display, exchange and trading platform. Best Actress Award, Best Supporting Actor Award, Best Supporting Actress Award, Best Screenplay Award, Best Cinematography Award, Best Music Award and Best Visual Effects Award and other 10 awards!
The Golden Tripod Award of the Capital International Film Festival has a high gold content and has a certain influence in the world.
Zhang Wentian pointed at the Golden Tripod Award, showing his strong confidence!
The best music award is nothing more than a pretext, and the best film and best director are what he really wants to pursue.
At his level, it doesn't matter whether he can win the prize or not, what matters is the renewed spirit!
What Zhang Wentian said was also a compliment to Lu Chen.
Chen Pu said disdainfully: "Next year? Can you finish filming this movie and participate in the exhibition within a year?"
Gao Yue laughed out loud.
Zhang Wentian was speechless, and could only drink water from a teacup to cover up his embarrassment.
Chen Pu hit his deadly spot, that is, he was really good at procrastinating and frustrating filming. Other directors could finish filming in half a year, but he often delayed it to a year in order to keep improving, which resulted in a huge increase in budget and killed several people. investors.
Putting down the teacup, Zhang Wentian said proudly, "I will definitely finish the filming within a year!"
The Capital International Film Festival was held in early December, and it is now the end of August. Even if the filming is completed within a year, if the post-production time is added, it will be very nervous to participate in the film festival.
He must also complete it, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to investors.
According to the investor's request, after participating in the Capital International Film Festival, it will be screened on New Year's Day, and winning important awards will undoubtedly have a great boost to the box office.
Now is not the 1980s and 1990s. Investors are very shrewd and always put the box office first.
Chen Pu snorted, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Gao Yue smoothed things over, changed the subject and asked Qin Qing: "Qin Qing, are you going back to the academy this afternoon?"
Qin Qing nodded and asked, "Professor Gao, what's the matter?"
"That's just right..."
Gao Yue pointed to Lu Chen and said, "Can you accompany Lu Chen to the Office of Academic Affairs, you can find Director Lu or Director Chen, and get a certificate for Lu Chen."
Sending the Buddha to the west, although he has already written a note to Lu Chen, but with Qin Qing leading the way to help, Lu Chen can get the audition certificate and class schedule this afternoon, which can save a lot of trouble.
Qin Qing was a little surprised, but did not object: "Okay."
She has a reserved personality, but if Professor Gao asks for help, it's not a difficult task.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Junior Qin."
In fact, he can handle it by himself, there is no need to bother Qin Qing, it's just that it's hard to take away Gao Yue's kindness.
Qin Qing smiled.
She got up and said, "Let's go then, if we are late, the Academic Affairs Office will be off work."
"and many more!"
Chen Pu shouted: "Girl Qin, play a song for us before leaving. I haven't heard you play the piano for a long time!"
As he spoke, he glared at Gao Yue, blaming him for spoiling the scene.
Qin Qing sat down again, and said generously: "Then I will present a song to the elders."
Zhang Wentian, Gao Yue, Chen Pu and Chen Jianhao all smiled.
Qin Qing has an extraordinary family background, not only beautiful, but also intelligent. She has excelled in playing the piano since elementary school.
There are many guests who can come to Yuming Tea Garden, but those who can listen to her play the piano are really very few!
But when Qin Qing swung his ten fingers and played the guqin, the smiles on everyone's faces turned into bitter smiles.
Because what Qin Qing played was the ancient song "General's Order"!
Compared with Lu Chen's adaptation, she plays the original flavor. The first part uses a long section of finger shaking and left-hand playing techniques, showing the scene of drums and horns, and the melody is tense and mysterious.
Next to the second part, the image of a wise and brave general is outlined through the exaggerated chanting and sliding techniques of the left hand.
The third part uses the continuously accelerated "fast four points" technique to show the rapid formation of the soldiers; the fourth part depicts the scene of the two armies confronting each other, fighting on the battlefield, sounding horns, and returning to camp in victory.
The four parts of the whole song are completed in one go, the rhythm is tight and moderate, and the playing is full of momentum, showing superb skills!
Zhang Wentian and the others were enthralled.
However, Lu Chen had a vague feeling that this junior seemed to challenge himself in this way.
Of course, this could be entirely his illusion.
