The lights hit one side of the stage, and several people pushed a piano out.
When I saw the piano, there was a burst of cheers.
Shang Wenya and Li Yuanyuan looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes. They knew that they would be blessed again tonight.
I just don’t know if Zhou Yan performed it himself.
Their doubts did not last long, and soon Zhou Yan stepped onto the stage.
When he went out today, Wang Zuxian specially dressed up Zhou Yan. He was wearing a blue casual suit with a high-collar blue sweater underneath. He looked very upright and relaxed.
When Zhou Yan appeared, the cheers were louder than before.
The opening program was what Xu Feng wanted to do. They also thought about asking members of the orchestra to come and perform, but in the end they decided to let Zhou Yan play the piano.
Although Zhou Yan's piano skills are not as good as those of Zhang Zuoquan and others, these people who came to the scene today did not come to listen to music. Of course, they wanted to see Zhou Yan's performance.
After getting on the stage, Zhou Yan first sat on the piano bench, then pulled the microphone in front of him and said with a smile, "Good evening, everyone."
"Good evening." The audience responded enthusiastically.
"Before the ceremony officially begins, I will play a suite for everyone. It is composed of the soundtrack tracks from "Space Traveler", but what you hear next will basically not appear in the movie."
Zhou Yan's words confused many people in the audience.
Since it is the soundtrack of a movie, why doesn’t it appear in the movie? Isn't this a contradiction?
Of course, some people understand it, such as Li Yuanyuan.
"It seems that Teacher Zhou has written a lot of complete tracks this time, and the original soundtrack at the end is worth listening to."
"I heard there are a dozen complete songs."
“I don’t know when the soundtrack will be released.”
"It seems that instead of releasing the soundtrack, we may release an album directly."
"Is that so?"
……
Zhou Yan didn't explain anything to the audience. He pulled away the microphone and started playing.
This suite was improvised by him, with the prelude of "All of Me" at the beginning, excerpts from "Athousand Years", "Bleeding Love", "Stay Here Forever" in the middle, and finally the ending of "How Long Willi Love You".
Because it only lasts a few minutes and incorporates so many songs, it’s hard to overstate how amazing it is.
Zhou Yan played this piece not because he wanted the audience to like it more. This piece was more like an introduction before watching a movie.
The audience didn't think the song was that amazing, but they were very flattering. Many people clapped their hands and turned red.
Zhou Yan stood up, bent down, and then walked off the stage. Today's opening performance was also over.
After he went down, the people who had pushed the piano up came up again and pushed the piano out, and the ceremony officially began.
The activities of this premiere ceremony were very simple, that is, the main creative staff came on stage to make an appearance, and the producer, director, and main actors said a few words. There was no interaction with the audience or interviews with reporters.
The creative staff lined up on stage, and Xu Feng got the microphone and spoke the opening remarks first.
Han Sanping also said a few words, and when they finished speaking, it was the turn of Jiao Huang, Li Jingfei and Xie Fang, the veteran actors.
When Han Sanping handed the microphone to Jiao Huang, Jiao Huang pushed it. After all, in his opinion, he was just a supporting character in this movie. It didn't matter whether he spoke or not. Even if he spoke, he couldn't be ordered like this.
But in the end, he still couldn't push Han Sanping and took the microphone.
After getting the microphone, Jiao Huang said with emotion, "'Space Traveler' is probably the fastest project we have ever participated in. From the audition to the official start of filming, and now the official release, it only took a few months in total. The projects I worked on in the past took the same length of time, and the auditions might not even be over, and the projects that progressed very quickly might have just started shooting.”
"Although I haven't seen the finished movie yet, I have full confidence in this movie, and this confidence comes from the working ability and attitude of all our crew. Of course, the most important thing is Director Zhou , to be honest, when I first took this role, I heard that it would be released within this year. I felt uncomfortable inside, thinking that young people are impatient. Can filming be something that can be done in a hurry? But after the movie started, my idea completely changed. Director Zhou is not impatient, but has a lot of heart. Grasp, he has absolute control over the shooting..."
Jiao Huang said a lot. Although there were exaggerations, they were basically his true thoughts.
During the filming of "Time Traveler", he was really impressed by Zhou Yan's powerful efficiency.
It’s not that they never encountered problems during filming, but every time they encountered problems they were able to solve them quickly or have good alternatives.
Not only Zhou Yan, but also the efficiency of the rest of the crew amazed Jiao Huang. The cooperation between various departments was very tacit, and many seemingly difficult things could be solved easily.
in the country, Jiao Huang has never seen such a mature crew.
Each director's aesthetics and technical skills are subjective and difficult to evaluate. However, in terms of the maturity of the crew, the cooperation of various departments, and the overall operating efficiency, Zhou Yan's crew is definitely the best among all the ones he has participated in. crew.
After Jiao Huang finished speaking, it was Li Jingfei's turn.
"Teacher Jiao has praised so much, let me talk about the shortcomings of the crew."
As soon as Li Jingfei opened his mouth, the audience was stunned, wondering what was going on with "Zhang Fei". Could it be that he wanted to make trouble in public?
If anyone else said this, everyone would definitely think it was a joke.
But Li Jingfei has played Zhang Fei, and his rugged image is deeply rooted in people's hearts. When he suddenly said this, it really made people groan.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Li Jingfei smiled and continued, "The biggest shortcoming of the crew of "Space Traveler" is that the shooting speed is too fast and the time is too short. Their food is the best food I have ever eaten. I really want to eat for a few more days.”
"When I talk about the food on the set, I think of the time when we were filming "Three Kingdoms". The food on the set at that time was really mediocre. Director Zhou can vouch for this. Because we couldn't eat well, we brothers even went to the cornfield. Here..."
"Ahem!" Zhou Yan hurriedly coughed and told Li Jingfei not to talk about anything else.
A few big men went to the cornfield to steal corn and were caught. This is not a glorious thing.
Li Jingfei smiled at Zhou Yan, "We exchanged cigarettes for corn from fellow villagers."
Hearing what Li Jingfei said, Zhou Yan twitched his lips.
Why exchange cigarettes for fellow villagers' corn? Their eldest brother Sun Yanjun was caught. Zhou Yan went back and rescued Sun Yanjun at the cost of a pack of Hongtashan.
When Li Jingfei mentioned "Three Kingdoms", he also wanted to talk about the fate between him and Zhou Yan.
Then Li Jingfei recalled what happened back then. He was an interesting person and the audience liked what he said.
I can’t talk about stealing corn, but there are still many interesting things from that year that can be told.
Moreover, there were many interesting things during the filming of "Time Traveler". Li Jingfei picked two interesting things and talked about them.
After talking nonsense like this for five or six minutes, he gave the microphone to Xie Fang.
Xie Fang's speech was much shorter, basically a condensed version of Jiao Huang's speech.
After the old comrades finished speaking, Zhou Yan gave the microphone to Li Naiwen and Li Xiaoran.
The two young people were inevitably a little excited when they stood on such a stage. Their speeches were not particularly smooth, and they did not dare to say too much. They thanked each other and ended their speeches.
After the two of them finished speaking, Wang Zuxian got the microphone.
As soon as she got the microphone, the applause was obviously louder.
"Hello everyone, I am Wang Zuxian. Thank you all for coming to the premiere of "Time Traveler" today. I believe that today you will definitely have a worthwhile trip. If you think it is good, Ma Fang will help us promote it more , thank you all.”
Wang Zuxian bent down while holding the microphone, and then said with a smile, "I won't waste your time anymore. Let my husband say a few words to you."
As soon as she said this, many people at the scene started to boo, especially the area where the members of the Piano Boy Band were, which was particularly lively. Seeing everyone making noises, Joey Wong smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about the husband in the movie."
When she said this, the cheers became even louder.
In fact, everyone didn't think much about it, they all thought Wang Zuxian was joking, but they were just happy to make fun of him.
Zhou Yan took the microphone from Wang Zuxian, patted it gently, and then said with a smile, "Speaking of which, this is the second time Xiaoxian and I have played husband and wife. In "Green Snake", I even shared my first kiss on screen. I gave it to her, and this time I gave it to her for my first wedding.”
There was another burst of laughter from the audience. Zhou Yan's words sounded like he had given Wang Zuxian all the advantages.
After taking Wang Zuxian's words, Zhou Yan paused and continued, "'Love Traveler' is my fourth movie. After filming the third movie 'Spring of the Cowherd Class', I was thinking about my fourth movie. What movie should I make? For a while, I was in a dilemma, especially after "Springtime of the Cowherd" won the Jury Prize at the Berlin Film Festival, and I didn't know what to make next. ”
"It seemed that I was carrying more and more things, but the choices in front of me were getting fewer and fewer. Then one day, I was walking on the shore of Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong, and suddenly I realized something. I shouldn't set limits for myself. What should be photographed and what should not be photographed should not be something that I need to deliberately consider. I only need to consider what I want to photograph and what I don’t want to photograph..."
Next, Zhou Yan told the audience the origin of the film and the reasons why the filming progress was accelerated.
Finally, he thanked his friends present and ended his speech.
When he finished speaking, Han Sanping picked up the microphone again and announced that the movie would start screening immediately.
……
The curtain had fallen long ago. When Zhou Yan and the others walked off the stage, the lights in the entire concert hall dimmed. Then the projector was turned on and a picture appeared on the curtain.
At the beginning of the movie, scenes of Yanjing Factory and Tomson Film Company first appeared, and then scenes of Zhou Yan Studio.
Before the movie scene appeared, the sound of piano and Zhou Yan's voice appeared first.
"I've always known that my family members are a bit strange. Let's talk about me first..."
The screen lit up and Zhou Yan appeared.
When she saw Zhou Yan, Shang Wenya's eyes widened because she almost didn't recognize that it was Zhou Yan who was walking over.
Zhou Yan on the screen is wearing an ordinary polo shirt. He looks a bit timid and not as tall and handsome as he looks in person.
Moreover, Zhou Yan on the screen is very thin, even thinner than he looks in reality.
Shang Wenya knows that movie scenes can make people relax, so under normal circumstances, actors look fatter in movies than in reality.
And Zhou Yan looks thinner in the movie than in reality, which means that when this movie was made, Zhou Yan was much thinner than he is now.
It's probably because Zhou Yan was so thin specifically for this role. He looks basically consistent with the voiceover introduction.
The beginning of the movie basically introduces the hero's family members.
It can be seen that they are a very happy family.
Although the male protagonist said that his family members are all a bit weird, they each have their own things to do and live a carefree life, as if they are living in a paradise.
The environment they live in is also very beautiful. It is a big house with a beautiful lawn at the door and the sea right outside. They often go to the beach to have afternoon tea.
The first few minutes gave people a very relaxed feeling.
"Until that awkward dance..."
The scene turned and the protagonist appeared at a dance party.
At this time, the first song appeared in the movie, which was the song played at the dance. It was an English song.
Hearing this song, Shang Wenya showed a puzzled expression.
She had never heard of this song, but could it be that even the background song for this kind of dance was written by Zhou Yanxin?
Shang Wenya turned to look at Li Yuanyuan. Li Yuanyuan made eye contact with her, and then shrugged, which meant that she had never heard of this song.
If Li Yuanyuan has never heard of this song, then the possibility of this song being original is very high.
Li Yuanyuan is an English major in their school, and she also likes listening to music and singing. She knows more about European and American pop songs than the average person.
Usually, Li Yuanyuan has heard all the famous European and American pop songs.
Li Yuanyuan herself is basically certain that this is an original song. It does not mean that she is very confident in her music library and believes that there are no songs in Europe and the United States that she has not heard, but the style of this song is not an old song at all.
Not only is it not an old song, it sounds newer than most popular songs today.
This song sounds very dynamic and the lyrics are quite interesting.
The translation of the previous lyrics probably means that you have lost touch with the world, are stuck in endless overtime, and are racing against time every day. You have to be first, but you miss an important goal...
< br>
These lyrics sound like they are advising people to enjoy themselves and live for themselves. They fit well with the music itself and with the dance parties of young people.
Li Yuanyuan can be sure that this song will definitely be popular in the European and American music circles. This is the main reason why she is sure that this song is original.
If a song like this had come out before, she would have never heard it.
However, this song appeared very briefly, with only a few lyrics in total, and then a second song appeared at the dance scene.
It is still an English song, and it is still a song that Li Yuanyuan has never heard before.
The second song is more high-pitched and unrestrained than the first song, both in terms of melody and lyrics.
What they heard should be the chorus of this song. The female singer is very powerful.
"Hold your breath, release to your heart's content, and show your true self on this stage..."
"Now you know, this is my life..."
The second song is also not long, just a few lyrics, and then it switches to the third song.
The third song is still in English and still has a female voice.
This time it's a cheerful little sweet song, full of happiness.
"If we don't want to leave, we're not going anywhere."
"We can stay here forever..."
The pleasant melody also fits the atmosphere of the dance party very well.
When she heard the third song, Li Yuanyuan was stunned.
Before coming, Li Yuanyuan believed that she would be able to hear good songs in the movie. She had enough confidence in Zhou Yan.
But she never expected that Zhou Yan would cut the material so hard.
Only a few minutes into the movie, three original songs appeared, which is too exaggerated.
Li Yuanyuan even suspected that Zhou Yan usually wrote too many songs and had no place to put them, so he struggled to make movies and crammed them into movies.
But, these pieces of music are very suitable for a dance party. The key is that they all sound good.
Three songs, each one is very catchy.
Although the three songs appear very briefly, at least the parts that appear are very attractive. (End of chapter)
