There are two programs, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. There is still plenty of time.
The radio program Zhou Yan participated in the recording in the morning was "Music World", the channel is 102.7FM, which belongs to the kiis-fm radio station.
kiis-fm is a commercial radio station licensed to Los Angeles, California, to broadcast to the greater Los Angeles area. Their studio is located in Burbank.
The program content of "Music World" is relatively complex and belongs to the comprehensive music category. It mainly prefers country and classical music, and occasionally plays some rhythm and blues.
The reason why Zhang Youan chose this program is because the music aesthetic of their program is more suitable for Zhou Yan.
There were also some rock shows that invited Zhou Yan, but Zhang Youan didn't agree to any of them. Although Zhou Yan had a song "Yellow", we couldn't always talk about this song on the show.
Moreover, the popular rock music here in North America is different from the style of "yellow".
The host of "Music World" is a girl in her twenties with a slightly squeaky voice. Her name is Jennifer.
Although she is a radio host, Jennifer did not neglect her dress. As soon as Zhou Yan entered the broadcast room, he was dazzled by Jennifer's exaggerated makeup and clothing.
Jennifer wore a colorful short dress. The skirt was a little tight, and she was slightly fat. It could hardly cover her body, and half of her buttocks were exposed.
Her face was covered with thick smoky makeup, and it was no longer clear what she looked like.
If he saw a woman dressed like this on the street in Los Angeles, Zhou Yan wouldn't be too surprised, but it would be a little strange to see a radio host like this.
Everyone else in the radio station dressed up very normally, except Jennifer.
"Mr. Y, welcome to "Music World"."
Jennifer greeted Zhou Yan politely, and before the show started, they would take some time to get familiar with each other, and then Check out the flow of the program.
After a brief chat, Jennifer smiled and said, "I'm so happy to know that you can come to "Music World". You may not know that I am your super fan. The one I have listened to the most in the past six months is Your music."
"Thank you for your support." Zhou Yan smiled.
However, he didn't take Jennifer's words to heart. He just thought that the other party was just being polite. As a host, these are very common words.
Especially some female hosts, when meeting male guests, will set themselves up as a fan girl, because most male guests do do this.
But what Zhou Yan didn’t expect was that Jennifer actually talked about Zhou Yan’s music seriously.
"Your new album "Yulin Ring" gave me a great shock. Although we have heard some of the music in it before, the orchestration in this album is very interesting, such as in "People Like You" , you used..."
As soon as Jennifer started chatting, she couldn't stop and quickly analyzed the music in "Yulin Ring", and she was very professional.
If that were the case, Zhou Yan would think that Jennifer had done a little homework in advance, which is not surprising.
After all, it is easy to find the analysis of these songs. Jennifer can find these analysis articles in advance and memorize them.
But after analyzing "Yulin Ring", Jennifer actually analyzed the song "Eternal Night" again, and even talked about some professional content such as harmony and texture.
Hearing Jennifer say this, Zhou Yan showed a surprised expression.
These things cannot be remembered simply by memorizing them. If you want to talk to Jennifer to this extent, it means that she must have studied classical music.
Some professional terms, if you are not a person who has studied this, you will not understand what they mean.
Although Zhou Yan has not appeared on many programs, he has also been exposed to some TV and radio hosts, and Jennifer is definitely the most professional host in music among the hosts he has come into contact with.
Being in such a radio station, and Jennifer dressed up in such a strange way, gave Zhou Yan a strong sense of contrast.
Perhaps, it is precisely because Jennifer has such professional music knowledge that she was able to avoid being fired from the radio station.
But thinking about it on the other hand, it may be because she dressed so strangely that she was not able to work in those big TV stations. After all, with Jennifer's professionalism, she can definitely appear on some bigger stages.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Yan also got to know Jennifer again.
He admitted that he was judging people by their appearance just now. He even thought pessimistically that today's program would be very bad because the host looked unreliable.
But now it seems that Jennifer is a very reliable host, and there should be no problem with the show for a while.
After ten minutes, both of them were ready and the show officially started.
After giving the gesture from the director's room, Jennifer smiled into the microphone and said, "Welcome to "Music World", I am Jennifer. Before the show ended yesterday, I announced that there will be a A very important guest has come to our show. I believe everyone has been waiting in front of the radio for his appearance. Now let us invite the famous musician, Y-Chou——"
Jennifer gave it to Zhou Yan. With a look, Zhou Yan smiled and introduced himself to the microphone, "Friends in Los Angeles, good morning, I am Zhou Yan."
Hearing Zhou Yan's self-introduction, Jennifer said, "Zhou Yan is Y- When I first heard the pronunciation of the Chinese name chou, I thought it was Joey. We all know that Mr. Y is not only a very great musician, but also a very successful director. "The Sixth Sense" is adapted from his movie. Of course, today we will not talk about "The Sixth Sense", but let's talk about another movie, "Sense and Sensibility". Mr. Y served as the director of "Sense and Sensibility". "The film's soundtrack won the Academy Award for Best Soundtrack this year, and there is a song in it that I believe everyone is familiar with, "Young and Beautiful", a song that has been on the charts for many weeks."
< br>After Jennifer finished speaking, the chorus of "Young and Beautiful" played on the radio, but it only played for about ten seconds before the song stopped.
The program is not long in the first place, so it would be a waste to spend time playing songs. It can only be played interspersed with the conversation like this.
"Mr. Y, can you tell us about the creation process of the soundtrack of "Sense and Sensibility"?" Jennifer asked.
Zhou Yan nodded and said, "When I received a call from An Li and invited me to be the soundtrack for "Sense and Sensibility", I was very surprised because I had never participated in a Hollywood movie before. Production. I don’t know much about the production process of Hollywood movies, especially the process of soundtrack production, so I was hesitant at first. I was worried that I wouldn’t adapt to the Hollywood working model.”
“That. What made you finally decide to take this job? "
"It was the sincerity of director An Li and the script of "Sense and Sensibility", most of which I have read. , this "Sense and Sensibility" is certainly no exception, but I know that if you want to make a movie, you must not make it completely according to the original work, otherwise, there will be obvious gaps in the characters. Happily, Emma... Thompson's script solved this problem very well, they..." Zhou Yan talked seriously about the script of "Sense and Sensibility", and also talked about the inspiration for his creation of "People Like You" and "Young and Beautiful" .
He attributed his inspiration for composing these songs to the script of "Sense and Sensibility". This explanation seems reasonable.
While Zhou Yan was talking, the director often played some clips from the soundtrack of "Sense and Sensibility".
Their program team is relatively mature, the whole process is very smooth, and the director's response ability is also very strong.
After this interview is over, the next part is the audience question and answer session.
Zhou Yan vaguely asked if there was a script for this session, but Jennifer told him that the calls from the audience of "Music World" were real and random.
The first person to call was a middle-aged man with a rich voice and very polite voice.
He first expressed his love for Zhou Yan's music, and then said, "I especially like the song "Don't Cry" sung by my sister Marianne in "Sense and Sensibility". Do you have any previous works of the same type? "
Zhou Yan asked with a smile, "What do you mean by the same type? "
"This kind of song is similar to a choir."
Hearing what the other party said, Zhou Yan touched his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Maybe my new movie "Spring of the Cowherd Class" can meet your needs."
Jennifer took the opportunity to introduce "The Cowherd Class" "Spring of the Class" information, "This is Mr. Y's latest film. The theme is education and music. It contains a large number of original music works. At this year's Berlin Film Festival, Mr. Y also won the Special Jury Award for this film. Award. I have good news for everyone. This movie will be released in the United States soon. I hope everyone can go to the theater to support it.”
I have to say that Jennifer is really dedicated and has made a lot of preparations in advance. The information comes by mouth, without any need for small notes.
For a host, reaction ability is of course very important, but the most important thing is preparation and accumulation in advance. Whether the preparation is good or not is the key to distinguishing whether a host is professional or not.
In fact, Zhou Yan can also tell the information Jennifer said, but the taste of this information changes when it comes from Zhou Yan himself. Especially the award-winning information, Zhou Yan himself said, inevitably seemed a bit boastful.
And it is very appropriate for the host to say it.
Hearing Jennifer's explanation, the caller also laughed and said, "I'm very happy to hear such good news. After the movie is released, I will definitely go to the cinema to support it as soon as possible."
Jennifer took advantage of the situation and added, "Attention for those who want to watch "Spring of the Cowherd Class", starting from today, for the next week, our program will draw a lucky viewer and give away two copies of the movie "Spring of the Cowherd Class" Tickets. Even if the call doesn’t come in, as long as you make an effort to call, you will be recorded by us backstage and you will have a chance to win the movie ticket."
Hearing this, the audience asked: "Then. Do I also have a chance to win the movie ticket?"
Before Jennifer could say anything, Zhou Yan said, "Mr., please don't worry, even if you don't win the movie ticket, I will give it to you separately. Two tickets for you, because you are the first audience to connect with me today.”
Jennifer looked at Zhou Yan and blinked. This sentence was not designed by them, but was added by Zhou Yan himself. However, the words added by Zhou Yan were quite effective in the show.
The online audience learned that they could get movie tickets and said very happily, "Thank you Y, I will always support you."
"Well, thank you sir, take it Come down..."
There was not much time, and of course they couldn't waste time on one audience member, so they quickly connected to a second audience member.
The second viewer who successfully connected sounded like a child, but she claimed to be a female college student.
"Y, do you have any plans to hold a concert in the United States in the near future? I have participated in your concert before, and the process was very unforgettable."
"There will be a concert, but the specific time has not been determined yet. "
"Is it in Los Angeles?"
"The specific city has not been decided yet."
Jennifer said, "Please don't worry, this is our show. We will continue to pay attention to Mr. Y’s concert information, and we will announce it on the program once there is any progress.”
Zhou Yan also smiled and said, "Well, once the concert time and address are confirmed, we will inform "Music World" as soon as possible."
This paragraph was not included in the previous design. It was a temporary arrangement between the two of them. Added.
Jennifer smiled, Y was so proud that he even gave such a promise.
Being able to get first-hand information about Zhou Yan’s concert is undoubtedly very beneficial to their program.
Although she didn't know what the current listening rate of the program was, she knew from the gesture given by the director's studio that the listening rate would not be bad.
They have been preparing for today's program for many days. Listeners all know that Zhou Yan will come to "Music World" today.
Now it seems that Zhou Yan's popularity in the United States is still very good. Although it is not as good as those well-known pop singers, it is far from what ordinary behind-the-scenes musicians can compare with.
Previously, their program also interviewed some composers, including some well-known film scorers in the industry, but none of them were as topical as Zhou Yan.
Compared with those composers, Zhou Yan's advantage is that his works have a wide range and he also has movie bonuses.
Of course, there is another thing that Jennifer thinks is a huge advantage of Zhou Yan compared to other songwriters, and that is that he is really good-looking.
Although Asian faces cannot fit into the mainstream aesthetics in the United States, Jennifer knows that many people in Europe and America still like Zhou Yan's style.
Fair and clean, with clear lines, the most important thing is the temperament. (End of this chapter)
