Chapter 119 March
In the hearts of Xu Lang and others, there is no doubt about Senior Brother Zhou Yan’s talent.
And senior brother Zhou Yan is becoming more and more down-to-earth now.
When Xu Lang and others first came to Yangyin, they heard the symphony "Flow Wind" written by Zhou Yan. They were shocked beyond measure by the complexity of the score, the rigorous conception, and the craziness of the melody.
At that time, Xu Lang thought, were they as good as they were when they were sophomores?
Both longing and fearful.
The longing is that they hope that they can reach this level in the second grade. The fear is because they know that they probably cannot reach this level in the second grade.
When they were sophomores, none of their classes had written a work of the caliber of "Flow·Wind". At that time, senior brother Zhou Yan had already written a multi-movement symphony in the first semester of third grade. .
Now Senior Brother Zhou Yan rarely produces major works, but his output of sketches is much higher than before.
This is like a person who used to write long novels, but now often writes essays, not even short stories.
Everyone knows the reason. Senior Brother Zhou Yan often makes soundtracks for movies, so it is inevitable that he has to write a lot of sketches.
After handing over the homework to the students, Zhou Yan went to find Yu Feng and his old orchestra partners.
Because it was a temporary search, it was naturally impossible to find everyone. A total of eleven or twelve people were gathered together. Zhou Yan took them for a small meeting, and then took them to his home for dinner in the evening.
They did not cook the dinner themselves. Zhou Yan directly asked the nearby meat-shabu restaurant to send several copper pots. A dozen people gathered around the copper pots and ate a meal of meat-shabu.
He also decided that from now on when the orchestra would come to the courtyard to rehearse, Fang Xiu and the others would not be allowed to cook and would order food directly from outside.
Anyway, he has a bulging pocket now, so it is no problem to feed these people. Not only is it no problem, but he can also arrange meals for them in different ways every day.
We eat Sichuan cuisine on Monday, Shandong cuisine on Tuesday, and Anhui cuisine on Wednesday... You can’t eat all the eight major cuisines in a week. Of course, we can only think about whether the restaurants around them are good. There are not many, but it is still difficult to find the eight major cuisines nearby.
Zhou Yan feels that he bought the right courtyard. At least it is good for everyone to practice piano and eat. If he buys an apartment or a bungalow, it will naturally not be so convenient.
After eating, everyone else left, and Yu Feng stayed to chat with Zhou Yan alone for a while.
The two of them are still a little different from others now. Yu Feng has been teaching in the school for a year, and Zhou Yan has also decided to stay in the school, and has also taken over many classes, so they are both school teachers. .
"Senior Brother Yu...oh, no, I should call you Professor Yu now, right?" Zhou Yan said with a smile.
Yu Feng waved his hand, "It hasn't been completely decided yet, and the professional titles between us are different, so please call me Senior Brother Yu."
Although Yu Feng was just here last year I have graduated, but I have been promoted to associate professor this year. I am currently going through the process, and it should not take too long to be confirmed.
So, compared to Zhou Yan and Jia Guoping, Yu Feng is more popular.
I was promoted to associate professor just one year after graduation. This thing is scary just to hear it.
Jia Guoping has no chance to surpass Yu Feng, because Jia Guoping is one year older than Yu Feng.
Compared to Yu Feng, Jia Guoping's academic qualifications are a bit lower. He graduated with a bachelor's degree, while Yu Feng graduated with a master's degree.
Zhou Yan may still have some hope. After all, Zhou Yan is only twenty-two years old this year and there are still six years left before Yu Feng. And if Zhou Yan didn't have any other special reasons or went to further his studies, he would just teach honestly in school. Even if it was sixteen years, let alone six years, he probably wouldn't be able to become an associate professor.
"Senior Brother Yu, I think our junior brothers and sisters are all very good. Why don't we form a symphony orchestra, and you can lead them to perform performances inside and outside the school." Zhou Yan smiled, but he didn't After a roundabout way, he went directly to the topic, "I have one more piece. We can practice it after the graduation concert."
Yu Feng raised his eyebrows first, then shook his head, " I’m afraid I’m dying. I don’t have much time left.”
Zhou Yan was stunned and said, "Brother, what do you say? Why does it sound so scary?"
Yu Feng knew that Zhou Yan had misunderstood, and laughed, "Don't think nonsense, I mean, I'm here We don’t have much time in school.”
“Oh, that’s it.” Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Feng’s statement was too scary, and then he asked, “Senior Brother, where are you going?”< br>
“At the beginning of July, I will go to Italy to conduct the Naples Orchestra to participate in the European Modern Music Festival. After that, I will conduct the Portuguese Symphony Orchestra to tour Europe for about two times. This year I will not have time to do it. School."
Yu Feng smiled and continued, "I won't have time next year. Next year I will go to Canada and Germany for academic visits. In the next few years, I will probably be away from home. Running around. When I’m not doing interviews, I’m conducting orchestra performances.”
After listening to Yu Feng's words, Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Congratulations, Senior Brother Yu."
If Yu Feng develops along the way, he will soon become famous internationally and become an internationally renowned conductor.
At Yu Feng's age, when he is full of energy, he really wants to go to Europe to conduct more conductors and conduct orchestras, and to brush up the dungeons.
It's just a pity that once Yu Feng left, their orchestra lost a conductor.
Commanding talents are already scarce, and high-end talents like Yu Feng are even rarer.
In fact, Yu Feng came to conduct a small band like theirs purely for the sake of his classmates. Just listen to what he just said. In the second half of the year, he will conduct the Naples Orchestra and the Portuguese Orchestra, even if they are not top-notch orchestras. The orchestra is also at the top level in Europe.
Yu Feng smiled at this time and said, "Junior brother, don't worry, after I have been in Europe for two or three years, I will come back to you as a conductor. I am very happy during this time, especially with your scores. The more I study, the more I feel what it means to look at mountains or clouds. "Senior brother, what you said is too exaggerated." Zhou Yan smiled, and he was very sincere. He said quietly, "We will always be waiting for you here."
Although he said this, Zhou Yan knew clearly that when Yu Feng came back from finishing the dungeon in Europe, his identity would be completely different. It would be okay to have him make a guest appearance, but it would definitely be impossible for him to be the permanent conductor of the orchestra.
Zhou Yan wants to form an on-campus orchestra, first of all for himself. In the future, his music can be played by the orchestra at any time, or even recorded. In addition, with an orchestra, it will be more convenient for other students in the composition department in the future. .
The school originally had a band, but it didn't suit Zhou Yan's liking, and it wasn't something Zhou Yan could use if he wanted to.
Now that he learned that Yu Feng was going abroad, Zhou Yan could only find another commander.
In fact, there is no need to find a fixed conductor. Whoever has time can be asked to come later. Although the command department has a small number of people, there are still some people in the several grades combined.
While the two were chatting, the phone in Zhou Yan's room rang.
"Senior Brother Yu, let me answer the phone first."
"You pick it up. It's getting late, so I'll go back first." Yu Feng smiled and waved to Zhou Yan, "Don't give it away."
Zhou Yan was not polite and asked Yu Feng Go by yourself.
After Yu Feng walked out, Zhou Yan picked up the phone.
The call was from Zhang Youan.
“Zhou Yan, are you free this Friday afternoon?”
"What's going on?" Zhou Yan asked.
"I have contacted Li Yiding. If you have time on Friday afternoon, we will go to meet her together." Zhang Youan said.
Zhou Yan counted the days. Today is Tuesday, and there are only two days left before Friday.
The songs he wrote for "Three Kingdoms" have not been recorded yet, so he must be a little pressed for time.
But after thinking about it, he still said, "No problem, what time is it Friday afternoon?"
"I will tell you the specific points after I confirm them on Thursday."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone with Zhang Youan, Zhou Yan took out the scores he had written before and sorted them out. After a while.
Since time was tight, Zhou Yan decided to record less.
In the past half month, although the latter few days were more leisurely, he had already written many songs in the first few days.
After reading the script, the first song that Zhou Yan thought of was the song "Seven Swords War Hymn" written by Kenji Kawai for the movie "Seven Swords".
This piece has a strong rhythm and majestic momentum, and is very suitable for war scenes.
In addition, Zhou Yan wrote some songs by himself, some of which were created based on his own feelings, and some were adapted from some music in the Neon game "Three Kingdoms".
This time Zhou Yan plans to record three songs. In addition to "Seven Swords War Hymn", the other two songs, one is adapted from "Sprouting" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 10", and the other is Zhou Yan's own song. He wrote "Horse".
"Horse" is placed before the war, "Hymn of the Seven Swords" is placed during the war, and "Sprouting" is placed after the war. It happens to be a complete war.
"Horse" and "Sprouting" are relatively short, and Zhou Yan only plans to record versions within thirty seconds, so the recording is relatively simple.
The key is "Seven Swords War Hymn". Not only is it long, but in order to reflect the intensity of this song, even though it is just a sample song, Zhou Yan will also add more orchestration.
With more orchestration, more musicians are needed, which naturally makes recording more troublesome.
So with two days left, Zhou Yan summoned Yu Ran and the others to urgently rehearse "Seven Swords Battle Hymn", and then recorded "Zong Ma" and "Sprouting".
When recording "Sprouting", Zhou Yan added some synthetic sound effects, coupled with flute and violin, and it took less than an hour to record one song.
When recording "Horse", it was a little more troublesome.
Although the music is simple, Zhou Yan still wants to record the music in a richer way.
In addition to the flute, violin, and drum, Zhou Yan also added the sound of horse hooves.
He first sampled the sound of horse hooves into the synthesizer, and then used the synthesizer to arrange the rhythm of the horse hooves, trying to make the rhythm of "Horse" and "Seven Swords War Hymn" be connected together.
It is when the sound of horse hooves in "Horse" becomes stronger and stronger and finally disappears, then the murderous "Seven Swords War Hymn" is followed.
...
On Friday afternoon, Zhou Yan made an appointment with Zhang Youan to meet under the production center building at three o'clock. He arrived downstairs ten minutes early. Zhang Youan, the assistant, hadn't arrived yet. He was downstairs. Wait.
After waiting for about five or six minutes, he suddenly heard someone calling him.
"Director Zhou?"
Zhou Yan turned around and saw that the person calling him was a young man. It was Xu Tongtong from Yanjing TV. Previously, "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" was broadcast in Yanjing When the opening ceremony was held in the studio, it was Xu Tongtong who went to interview.
Originally, Xu Tongtong only saw Zhou Yan's profile and was a little afraid to confirm. When Zhou Yan turned around and saw his face, Xu Tongtong said with surprise, "It's really you, Director Zhou."
Zhou Yan He smiled and was a little surprised, "Reporter Xu, why are you here?"
Xu Tongtong didn't expect that Zhou Yan still remembered his surname Xu, and he felt quite happy, "I'm here to do something, Director Zhou What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to see Teacher Li Yiding,” Zhou Yan said.
Hearing that Zhou Yan was looking for Li Yiding, Xu Tongtong immediately understood, "Director Zhou, are you here for the soundtrack of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"
Then Xu Tongtong's professional skills were automatically activated and he asked continuously.
"Director Zhou, have you taken over the soundtrack work of "Three Kingdoms"?"
"I did hear Director Wang say last time that their crew is looking for a soundtrack. Are you sure it is now? You?"
"The soundtrack for "Three Kingdoms" was definitely not done by one person. Was it just you and Sister Li, or was there someone else?"
Zhou Yan smiled. , Xu Tongtong seems to be relatively familiar with the situation at the production center.
First of all, Li Yiding is not very famous, but Xu Tongtong knew it as soon as he heard it. In addition, from Xu Tongtong's tone, he was quite familiar with Li Yiding and Wang Fulin, so he should run here often.
But this is normal. Xu Tongtong should be responsible for the news of film and television dramas at Yanjing TV Station, so naturally he has more dealings with the TV production center.
As for Xu Tongtong's questions, Zhou Yan just smiled and said, "It's not decided yet."
Xu Tongtong nodded and did not ask any more questions, but said very enthusiastically, "Zhou Tongtong You don’t know where Sister Li’s office is? I’ll take you there.”
“I’m waiting for someone.”
As soon as Zhou Yan finished speaking, he saw Zhang Youan getting out of a car.
“The people I was waiting for are here.”
Seeing Zhou Yan and others coming, Xu Tongtong smiled and said, “Director Zhou, I’ll go in first. Here, I’ll go find you.”
“Okay.” Zhou Yan nodded with a smile.
……
Li Yiding does not have a separate office, he just sits in a large office with everyone else.
However, although the office is large, there are not many people in it. When Zhou Yan and the others arrived, there were only five or six people in the entire large office, and the office environment was very quiet.
Zhang Youan took Zhou Yan straight to an office area in the back.
"Teacher Li, we are here." Zhang Youan whispered.
Because the office is so quiet, people tend to lower their voices unconsciously.
Li Yiding was immersed in writing. When he heard the voice, he looked up and saw it was Zhang Youan. He smiled first, then looked at Zhou Yan, "Is this Zhou Yan?"
"Hello, Teacher Li." Zhou Yan greeted with a smile.
"Hello, hello."
Li Yiding put the files on the table into the drawer, then stood up and said, "It's not convenient to talk here in the office. I'll take you to the conference room. "
"Okay." Zhou Yan and Zhang Youan nodded. Li Yiding is in his forties, wears a pair of glasses, dresses very simply, and exudes an intellectual beauty all over his body.
She speaks in a gentle voice, but does things very simply.
From the time Zhou Yan and the others saw her to the time the three of them entered the conference room, the whole process only took more than a minute.
After entering the conference room, Li Yiding said, "I'm really sorry, I'm too busy during this period, so let's not waste time and get down to business. What Director Wang means is to complete the soundtrack before October The team members have been decided, and what he means is that we need to find two or more composers. I have a different opinion. I think that we can just find one more, and we need to decide on it as soon as possible, preferably before July. Set it down."
Zhou Yan nodded, "I understand your considerations. The more pieces the soundtrack is divided into, the harder it will be to unify the style."
"I really think so. If there are only two people and there are differences in styles, we can discuss with each other and accommodate each other. It will be difficult to do it with more people." Li Yiding nodded and said, "Zhou Yan, I heard that you The soundtrack in "Forbidden City: Memory", although several songs such as "Memory of the Forbidden City" are not exactly the same style as the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the route is actually similar. In addition, you wrote for "Sanmao Joins the Army" The song "Awakening" is also very exciting. You can handle both styles, and the soundtrack of "Three Kingdoms" should also be able to do it. What do you think of the soundtrack of this TV series?"
Zhou Yan? He originally wanted to give Li Yiding an emotional reading comprehension, but after seeing Li Yiding's style, he gave up the idea. No matter how much he talked to people like Li Yiding, it was better to show her the real thing.
He took out a tape directly from the bag and handed it to Li Yiding, "During this period, I also spent a lot of time thinking about the script, and wrote three songs, which were all recorded on it."
< br>Li Yiding was a little surprised. She didn't expect Zhou Yan to be more direct than her. What surprised her even more was that Zhou Yan had already written three songs.
It has only been more than ten days since Zhang Youan came to talk to them about this matter. It seems that Zhou Yan's composition speed is also acceptable.
Li Yiding attaches great importance to the speed of composing. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has too many episodes and naturally requires a lot of soundtracks. If the composing speed cannot keep up, it will be difficult to complete the task.
Some time ago, Li Yiding made a rough estimate by himself. Large and small, they would have to write at least 150 pieces of soundtrack for "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and maybe even 200.
Of course, although the numbers are scary, many of the soundtracks in the middle are actually relatively simple, and only need to make some small changes based on other soundtracks.
But even so, the workload is still relatively large. If the speed of composing is not good, it will be very difficult.
"Okay, you guys sit down for a while and I'll go next door to get the cassette player."
After saying that, Li Yiding left the conference room and returned two or three minutes later.
The tape has been put into the cassette player in advance, and it can be played directly after it arrives.
The first song is "Horse", which is only about twenty seconds in total.
After listening to it, Li Yiding also nodded. The first half of the piece used flute and violin, and in the second half, drums and horse hoofbeats were added. The hoofbeats became more and more urgent, giving people a mountainous feel. It feels like the rain is coming and the wind is blowing all over the building.
When you hear this song, you can feel that a battle is about to happen. So there is no doubt that this song is for the battle.
The second song is "Sprouting". Because these two songs are relatively short, Zhou Yan recorded these two first.
This piece is slightly longer than "Horse", but it only lasts thirty seconds.
Compared with the previous song "Horse", the mood of this song is slowly downward, and a trumpet is added in it, which makes it a little more sad and lonely. Li Yiding did not think of cleaning up the battlefield after the war. Instead, I think of the scene where the army is resting at dawn or when Liu Bei sends Xu Shu off to see each other farewell.
After listening to the two pieces of music, Li Yiding glanced at Zhou Yan and nodded secretly.
Although these two pieces of music are very short, they show Zhou Yan's level. Of course, she is not surprised. After all, the songs in "Forbidden City: Memory" are the best ones, and these two pieces of music are not worthy of mention. What.
I haven't listened to the third song yet, but Li Yiding has already given Zhou Yan an "eighty-point" in his mind and listed him as a key consideration.
They have also considered other candidates before, but none have scored up to 80 yet.
Pressing the play button again, Li Yiding began to listen to the third song.
Li Yiding originally thought that the third song should be similar to the previous two, both short songs of twenty or thirty seconds. After all, it is not long, and the soundtrack of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" does not need any long songs. , this kind of 20 to 30 seconds is very useful.
But when the third piece of music played, Li Yiding was stunned. This was an exciting march.
The so-called march is a kind of rhythmic music. It originally originated from war and was used by the army to inspire soldiers' fighting will.
The rhythm is sharp, exciting, passionate, and sounds exciting. These are the characteristics of marches, and this third piece is just like that.
Just listening to the music, you can imagine thousands of troops advancing rapidly in the flying dust, the weapons refracting dazzling light in the sun, and the military flags fluttering in the wind are constantly changing.
Although this piece does not include the sound of horse hooves, it gives people the feeling of hearing the sound of horse hooves. The sound of countless horse hooves comes together, as if an army is pressing down on the country.
As the music became more and more intense, thousands of troops turned into a surging tide, with a momentum that drowned everything and swept them all together.
What Li Yiding didn't expect was that the piece was very long, five or six minutes long, and the instruments were very complete.
In other words, after Zhou Yan finished writing this piece of music, he specially found an orchestra to perform it. Judging from the momentum of the piece, the orchestra had at least thirty members.
And the difficulty of writing a song with such a high degree of completion is completely different from the previous two songs. Just the orchestration takes a lot of time.
After all three songs ended, Li Yiding held the radio player in his hand and meditated for a while.
With these three songs, there is no problem at all in letting Zhou Yan take charge of the soundtrack for more than 40 episodes. The only thing that makes Li Yiding a little worried is that Zhou Yan’s style is relatively trendy, and the use of orchestration is also different from her previous ones. The design is a little different.
If Zhou Yan is to be used, there may still be some running-in between the two of them.
About half a minute later, Li Yiding ejected the tape from the cassette player, and then said to Zhou Yan and Zhang Youan, "You two rest here for a while, I will go out."
Zhou Yanxiao He said, "It's okay. Teacher Li, you can go ahead. We will sit here for a while."
Li Yiding nodded and left with the tape.
It took her a long time to leave.
A full forty minutes later, Li Yiding appeared in the conference room again.
"You two, come with me to Director Wang's office."
When he said this, Li Yiding had a smile on his face.
As soon as he saw this smile, Zhang Youan also smiled, because he already knew that Zhou Yan's music for "Three Kingdoms" was probably done.
The two followed Li Yiding to Wang Fulin's office. As soon as they reached the corridor on the fourth floor, they heard the passionate melody of "Seven Swords War Hymn".
Next, they didn't need Li Yiding to lead the way. They followed Yin Yin to find Wang Fulin's office.
In the room, Wang Fulin was standing next to the radio cassette player, staring at the radio cassette player playing music in trance.
"Dong Dong."
Hearing the knock on the door, Wang Fulin turned around, saw Li Yiding and the others, then smiled and pressed the pause button of the radio recorder.
"Is this Zhou Yan?" As he spoke, Wang Fulin walked up to Zhou Yan and shook hands with Zhou Yan, "Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age. I heard about "The Forbidden City: Memory" before. I was already very surprised during the soundtrack, and my jaw dropped even more when I heard these three songs this time.”
Wang Fulin is in his early sixties, a little thin and a little dark. Although his temples are slightly gray, he is still very energetic and does not look like a man who is already sixty.
Although he is thin, his hands are broad and strong.
Zhou Yan's hand was held, and he fully felt Wang Fulin's power. He smiled and replied: "Director Wang is overly praised. A project as big as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not easy. Compared with Director Wang, As a central coordinator, all I can do is add bricks and tiles. If the music can satisfy you, it can be regarded as my contribution to this plan."
"You are too humble. Lin waved his hand and asked Zhou Yan and the others to sit down, "Let's sit down and chat."
After everyone sat down, Wang Fulin spoke again, "I don't want you to just make a trivial contribution. I also hope that you and Yiding can work together to contribute more to our "Three Kingdoms""
"As long as the crew needs it, I will naturally do my best."
Wang Fulin nodded, "My original intention was to find two or three more scorers to share the work for Yi Ding, but we just communicated for a while, and finally I She convinced me that I won’t find anyone else to do the soundtrack for "Three Kingdoms", but you two will be responsible for it. However, I also want to give you a shot. "Three Kingdoms" is a big project with a lot of soundtrack work, and now you are the only one. With two people, the burden becomes heavier, and we have to keep up with the follow-up progress.”
The reason why Wang Fulin wanted to find more composers before was because he was worried about not being able to keep up. Now he was convinced by Li Yiding, but his worries were not completely eliminated, so he emphasized it to Zhou Yan again.
Zhou Yan said, "I am still relatively young, so when faced with such a heavy responsibility, I am naturally under a lot of pressure. But I have many ideas for the soundtrack of "Three Kingdoms", so I am confident that I can cooperate with Teacher Li to complete this project. Mission."
Hearing Zhou Yan's answer, Wang Fulin laughed. Although Zhou Yan was very humble just now, he seemed very confident now.
This is very good. Young people, be humble when you should be humble. When you should move forward, you must move forward. Don't be timid.
When it comes to work, it doesn’t mean that you can do it well if you believe you can do it well. But if you don’t have confidence, then nine times out of ten you won’t be able to do it well.
Chatting with Zhou Yan for another ten minutes, Wang Fulin looked at the time and said with a smile, "Zhou Yan, the music score has been decided. If anything happens in the future, you and Yi Ding will be contacted. Of course, If you need my help with anything else, you can come to me directly."
Zhou Yan knew that Wang Fulin was going to see off a guest, so he stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, then we won't disturb Director Wang. ”
……
Coming out of Wang Fulin's office, Li Yiding said with a smile, "Zhou Yan, please give me your contact information later. Let's talk more when we have some free time."
After the matter was settled, Li Yiding She was very happy. She had different opinions from Wang Fulin before. She just wanted to hire another composer and confirm it as soon as possible. Today, all her demands were fulfilled.
Zhou Yan handed one of his business cards to Li Yiding directly from his pocket, "Teacher Li, here is my contact information."
This is the new business card printed by Zhang Youan for Zhou Yan , in addition to Zhou Yan's personal number and paging number, there is also Zhang Youan's contact information. If others can't get through to Zhou Yan in the future, they can also call Zhang Youan.
Taking Zhou Yan's business card, Li Yiding raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.
Business cards are not a novelty. It's just that these things are usually owned by businessmen who run business. Ordinary people don't carry business cards.
However, Zhou Yan’s business card is different from those of businessmen. The information on it is very simple. In addition to Tomson’s logo, it is Zhou Yan’s name and contact information. Unlike those businessmen, the information on the business card is very simple. A lot of names.
"Okay, I accepted it." Putting the business card in his pocket, Li Yiding smiled again, "Let's go, go to my office now, I will give you the rest of the script."
On the way back to Li Yiding's office, the three of them happened to bump into Xu Tongtong.
Seeing Zhou Yan and the others, Xu Tongtong smiled and said, "I just went to Sister Li's office to look for you, and found that you were not there. I was about to leave."
Li Yiding looked at Xu Tongtong and said in surprise, "Do you know each other?"
After asking, Li Yiding suddenly realized, "By the way, "Forbidden City: Memory" was produced by Xiao Xu."< br>
Xu Tongtong nodded, "Well, Director Zhou has cooperated with our station quite a lot."
Li Yiding was a little surprised when Xu Tongtong called Zhou Yan "Director Zhou", but he didn't ask any more questions. , just said to Xu Tongtong, "Xiao Xu, come and sit in my office?"
"Okay, I won't delay your work, right?" Xu Tongtong said with a smile.
"No, the work matters have been discussed."
Xu Tongtong asked, "Does Director Zhou want to score the music for "Three Kingdoms"?"
Li Yiding didn't cover up either. , smiled and nodded, "Well, Zhou Yan came here today to talk about this matter, and it has been decided now."
Hearing this, Xu Tongtong said excitedly, "This is good material, I have to do it I'll make an interview for you."
Li Yiding said with a smile, "Well, it's just the soundtrack. If you want to interview, go interview the directors and actors."
< br>
If it was just a soundtrack, Xu Tongtong would certainly not want to be interviewed.
Behind the scenes, except for directors and screenwriters, other types of work rarely attract the attention of the outside world.
But Zhou Yan is different. Zhou Yan is not just a composer, he is also an actor and director, and the movie "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" directed by Zhou Yan will be released in July.
Their TV station has conducted an interview with Zhou Yan and several other creative staff before, but it has not been broadcast outside. Now it is time to conduct another interview and put the two interviews together into a small topic.
The award-winning director at the Clermont-Ferrand International Film Festival scored the soundtrack for "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". This is a very gimmicky thing.
Xu Tongtong said with a smile, "Anyway, Zhou Yan's movie will be released soon. I just have an interaction with "Three Kingdoms", which can be regarded as a promotion for "Three Kingdoms"."
"Zhou Yan's movie?" Li Yiding With a surprised look on her face, she asked, "What movie is Zhou Yan in?"
She only thought that Zhou Yan was in some movie and didn't think about the director at all.
Now it was Xu Tongtong's turn to be confused. He looked at Li Yiding, then at Zhou Yan and Zhang Youan next to him.
“Director Zhou, you didn’t tell Sister Li that you are still a director?”
Zhang Youan explained with a smile, "Because "Three Kingdoms" is a soundtrack work, so I did not do more extensions."
Zhou Yan also smiled, "Actually, there is nothing to say, I did make a movie, But it has no impact on the soundtrack of "Three Kingdoms"."
Xu Tongtong said with a smile, "Director Zhou, you are too modest. The film won the Clermont-Ferrand Film Festival award."
In fact, Xu Tongtong was wrong. First of all, the short film "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" won the award, not the upcoming feature film. Secondly, the award was not the Film Festival Grand Prize, but the Special Jury Award. However, Zhou Yan I didn't correct him because it was a waste of time and unnecessary.
Li Yiding didn’t expect that Zhou Yan was also a director, and the films he made sounded pretty good, and they all won international awards. After all, she was not from the film industry, so naturally she didn’t know much about these film festivals.
When Zhang Youan came to them before, he only told them that Zhou Yan had previously participated in the soundtracks of "Raise the Red Lantern", "Reply from Heaven" and "Forbidden City: Memory". He did not mention at all that Zhou Yan had won awards for directing films. .
This is too low-key, Li Yiding couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The reason why Zhang Youan didn't talk about the director before was not because he was low-key, but because he had his own considerations.
The matter of directing a movie is of no use to Zhou Yan in his bid to be the soundtrack composer for "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Moreover, the movie has not been released yet and they have not seen it, so the effect is even worse.
Since it has no effect, there is no need to boast.
After learning that Zhou Yan was still a director, Li Yiding was also very interested in the movie he made. When she learned that the movie would be released in the mainland on July 10, she said she must go see it.
