Anthony Bray, the chief director of "Star Strikes Back", is a person who strives for perfection in everything. This condition is commonly known as "obsessive-compulsive disorder" in the eyes of many people, like "Planet Strikes Back", a huge science fiction movie, From casting to shooting, to the final post-production, it took more than three years!
More than three years, if it was someone else's movie, I'm afraid it would have been so cold by now!
But what? But who is this director? Anthony Bray, winner of the world-class Oscar for Best Director! ! ! His last sci-fi movie "Black Wormhole" had a total box office record of 12 billion worldwide! The film even won the Oscar for Best Picture, and also won an Oscar...
Can such a director's meticulously shot works be anything casual
After three years of filming and production, "Planet Strikes Back" released the world's premiere documentary flower some time ago, and in the film flower, he expressed his hope to get the most perfect theme song.
Everything is ready, only one theme song is missing! Such a situation is simply unthinkable in the history of cinema! If it was another director, I'm afraid it would be good to find a famous singer to choose a song, but this director Anthony has obsessive-compulsive disorder! Do your best in everything!
Since the trailer was released, their mailboxes have been filled with various submissions, all of which are theme songs written for "Strike Against the Planet"! It's strange to say that the theme song of "Planet Strikes Back" is defined as a 30-second clip, allowing those composers to look at the clip and write the song...
This kind of propositional composition, in fact, many famous composers are unwilling to write.
After Zhou Zekai saw the clip, he really liked the movie, and it took him more than a week to write the song.
After submitting the manuscript, he believed that as long as Anthony heard this piece, he would definitely like it.
In the 30-second film, there is a silent starry sky, and the battleships of the protagonists. The director showed the magnificent starry sky in another way. The beauty in the tranquility has a kind of empty beauty, which makes people almost I can't imagine how wonderful it would be to sit in a movie theater and enjoy this movie.
Of course Anthony heard this song, and his five assistants listened to these so-called submitted music together with him, and when they heard that their brains were about to explode, they heard Zhou Zekai's contribution...
"Track" is the name of the song.
When I clicked on this song, there was a strange silence first, and then there was the electronic music that made people tremble all over. The song for the interstellar movie turned out to be a strange electronic music...
But even so, Anthony couldn't help but his scalp burst. What emerged with the sound of the music was the one he shot. The magnificent scene in the universe, with the sound of the music constantly overlapping and surrounding, made his gaze Involuntarily fell on the name of this song - "Track".
In the early years, Anthony had cooperated with domestic film companies, so he naturally knew Chinese. Looking at these two characters now, he felt that the name was too good! ! !
The looping electronic sound, together with the complicated music that seems to come from the collision of objects in the universe, makes Anthony feel that this song is the most suitable song for "Planet Attack"!
the most important is! He always felt that all kinds of songs were not suitable, in fact, it was because the lyrics were too empty and boring, and it was not suitable for his movie at all, but now, listening to this song with no human voice, only electronic music Only then did he understand why he always felt that the previous songs were inappropriate...
Because in the empty universe, human beings are the weakest existence, there is no human voice, this is the most primitive voice belonging to the universe...
Almost immediately, I asked the assistant to contact the author who made this song. There was no way, the rest of it was in Chinese, and his Chinese level was not too good...
So Zhou Zekai's manager, Sister Yun, received a call from the crew of "Planet Counterattack"!
When she heard the other party say in English that she was a crew member of "Planet Counterattack", the manager Sister Yun thought she had heard it wrong! In the end, I didn't expect to hear the name of my own artist, the most troublesome artist Zhou Zekai, from the other party's mouth, and then I chatted carefully... Wocao! This is the rhythm of doing big things without saying a word!
Zhou Zekai, a student who graduated from the Agricultural University, actually contributed to the movie "Planet Attack"! Not only was he submitted, but his song was actually selected! ! ! Now people want to buy copyrights! ! !
This made Sister Yun very happy, and said that she immediately brought her artist over there, left her contact information and rushed directly to Zhou Zekai's training room.
Zhou Zekai is reading the script... The company's latest youth film arrangement for him does not require any acting skills...
"Oh, my ancestors! Tell me! When did you learn to write songs! And the songs you wrote were even liked by the crew of "Planet Counterattack"!!!"
Immediately pulling Zhou Zekai to his feet, Sister Yun could not wait to kiss Zhou Zekai on the cheek twice, but she thought that the other party was the CEO, so it was not easy to do it, her excited eyes were shining now.
no way! What kind of movie is that "Planet Strikes Back"! Oscar director Anthony Bray's works! It took three years from preparation to filming to post-production, and the hero and heroine of "Planet Strikes Back" are Oscar-worthy stars! Thinking that the song written by her own artist will become the theme song of this movie, Sister Yun is so excited that she doesn't know what to do!
"Did the crew reply to the message?"
Seeing how excited Sister Yun was, Zhou Zekai understood that the work he submitted must have been answered. Thinking that he was once a singer anyway, it was no problem to write a few songs, especially this time Zhou Zekai boldly used electronic Music is used to express the grand concept of the universe, and to create the sense of emptiness and agitation, which seems to be no problem for the director with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"It's not just news, my ancestor! They said they would buy the song you wrote and use it as the theme song of "Planet Strikes Back"! I've already booked you a plane ticket to the United States, and it's just two o'clock in the afternoon, so hurry up with me Pack your things, forget it, don’t pack it, buy it over there, and sign a contract with me! By the way, you haven’t answered me yet, when did you learn to compose?”
After confirming that the person who called her was really an official member of "Planet Counterattack", Sister Yun felt that she had gotten lucky! Originally, I took Zhou Zekai with me. Although Zhou Zekai was good-looking, he was hacked into a dog by the netizens, but what about now? The first shot is to win the theme song of "Planet Counterattack"! It's too bad, okay
"I used to learn it when I was bored." Zhou Zekai answered casually, which made Sister Yun happy and angry. When she read Zhou Zekai's profile before, she knew that her artist graduated from an agricultural university. After that, who knew that this little fool was taken by the president, and now he wrote a song casually and sold it directly to the crew of "Planet Counterattack"... He is so popular!
Sometimes, when people get lucky, it is really scary!
Why do you say that? Because Sister Yun really doesn't understand music, and she doesn't think that Zhou Zekai, who was born in an agricultural university, can write such high-end music. She just thinks that Zhou Zekai has just got lucky...
Before she had time to inform other people in the company, Sister Yun took Zhou Zekai on the plane to the United States. Although she was an agent, she graduated from a business university, and her English was not a problem. Right now, she was worried about Zhou Zekai's English. up.
However, when explaining things about Zhou Zekai on the plane, and hearing Zhou Zekai's fluent English was even better than hers, Sister Yun felt that she was speaking in vain...
Zhou Zekai would not tell the other party that he is proficient in more than two or three languages, at least there are seven languages in this world and Zhou Zekai is completely stress-free.
Soon after arriving in the United States, Sister Yun took Zhou Zekai to the hotel agreed with the "Planet Strikes Back" crew, and then met the Oscar director Anthony Bray whom she thought she would never meet in her lifetime.
After Anthony Bray saw that Zhou Zekai was the creator of "Track" at such a young age, he felt that Zhou Zekai must be a talent. The two of them talked about space science and cosmic jumps from the song "Track". Sister Yun and her assistant on the side were dumbfounded...
Sister Yun knows English, but she really doesn't understand those professional knowledge!
Anthony's assistants can understand what they are talking about, even if they are together, they don't know what they are talking about...
In short, this meeting was very satisfying, and I successfully bought the right to use and distribute the song "Track" at a price of 200,000 US dollars. It will be released simultaneously with other music in the movie. Of course, The signed contract is a sharing contract. In addition to the 200,000 yuan, as long as someone buys the digital album, they will give Zhou Zekai a 10% share...
Anthony can be said to have met Zhou Zekai lately. There are a lot of physics in his "Planet Counterattack". Zhou Zekai, as a former physics expert, of course has a very thorough understanding of these. Physically, in less than two days, Anthony has already called Zhou Zekai Kai.
All of this made Sister Yun feel terribly unreal. Not only that, but Anthony's "Planet Attack" must be released worldwide. After knowing that Zhou Zekai is a star, he even invited Zhou Zekai to be the movie ambassador in China...
