After nearly forty minutes, the song ended.
Yu Hua ran to eject the CD and asked Zhou Yan, "You should have a backup of this CD, right?"
"Well, there is more."
"Then I’ll take this copy back.” Yu Hua said to Shi Tiesheng while loading the CD, “Tiesheng, do you want to listen? I’ll go downstairs and make another copy for you later.”
Yu Hua. They have been to the studio so many times that they are very familiar with the studio and know where the copies are.
Shi Tiesheng shook his head and said, "I'll forget it. I don't have any equipment at home. If I want to listen, I can either go to your house or come to the studio."
"Then I'd better come here, he The equipment here is good."
After putting the CD away, Yu Hua asked, "Is there a piano solo version of this piece? I think the piano solo version of this piece must be very nice, and the piano solo version is also very good. , if it doesn’t matter, I can play it to Hai Guo at home. He is too young to accept the vast and powerful sound of the symphony.”
Zhou Yan said with a smile, “No, but if you want. , I will ask Zhang Zuoquan to record a version for you later. Zhang Zuoquan has been practicing this piece of music recently. It won’t take much to let him record it. "
"Is Zuo Quan practicing this piece of music recently? Hua became interested, "Then I can go and listen to it live."
Compared to listening to recordings, Yu Hua still prefers to listen to live performances, which feels completely different.
"Okay. Recently, he usually starts practicing in the big recording studio for one to two hours after dinner at about 6:30."
"That's just right. Today we I’m just having dinner here, and I’ll go listen after eating.” Yu Hua said with a smile.
Yu Hua doesn’t feel any pressure at all from working in the studio.
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "You can take advantage of this time to go to the canteen to eat more. The canteen downstairs will be removed soon."
Yu Hua asked strangely, "Why do we need to withdraw the canteen?"
Zhou Yan sighed, "There is no way, my studio has not been very efficient recently, and people come to eat every day, so it can't support it. We can’t turn on the source now, so we can only save money. You should eat quickly. It’s just one meal, but there will be no chance in the future.”
Yu Hua rolled his eyes, not believing it at all. Zhou Yan's words, "You made up this lie just to tease us."
After knowing each other for so many years, Yu Hua knew Zhou Yan quite well.
Even if the studio is really ineffective and needs to cut costs, Zhou Yan can't get rid of the canteen first.
Zhou Yan, although he is not the kind of extremely particular person, is very concerned about eating. Their studio has always invested a lot in the canteen.
Besides, Yu Hua doesn’t believe that the efficiency of the studio is not good. Although he has been infrequent recently, he has some understanding of the situation in the studio. All departments in the studio are now busier than before. Now, there is obviously more business than before.
When he came today, he noticed that the sofas in the sitting area of the lobby on the first floor had been replaced with new ones. The new sofas looked much higher-end than the previous ones. This could be a cost-effective thing. ?
There is also a thermos cabinet for drinks in the corridor.
If you really want to save money, you should first remove the refrigerator and thermos cabinet.
"Haha, the cafeteria downstairs is indeed going to be evacuated because it has to be moved to another building. The current cafeteria is a bit small, and it will be just a little bigger if it is moved to a new building."
I heard it was going to be After moving to a new place, Yu Hua smiled and nodded, "I want to make it bigger. Now there are more and more people in your studio. Sometimes we have to queue up when we come to eat."
Forget about Yu Hua, If Zhou Yan goes to eat in time, he will still have to queue.
Zhou Yan actually wanted to move the canteen before. There are still some empty rooms in Building 3 and he can make a canteen.
But before, the canteen was barely enough, and the studio was under development. We didn’t know when the rooms in Building 3 would be used, so we didn’t do this.
Now that they have rented the three buildings next to it, with enough space, they can consider rebuilding a canteen.
As Yu Hua understands, Zhou Yan attaches great importance to the canteen.
Food is the most important thing for people, and eating always comes first.
"In the future, there will not only be a canteen, but also a leisure area. You can come and play if you have nothing to do."
"Leisure area? What to play in?"
"For example, the game area, sports area, and fitness area."
"It's really comfortable to work here."
"How about you come to work at my place too?" Zhou Yan joked .
Yu Hua immediately waved his hand, "I'll forget it, I can't go to class now. But it's okay to come and play. Now that Haiguo is in kindergarten, I have more time every day."
< br>"Haiguo can also be brought to play. I will ask someone to get a few more game consoles."
"Forget the game console, it's really good to let him listen to music. If I think it is the best, he can be a musician in the future, or a director, just like you."
Shi Tiesheng joked from the side, "You want Zhou Yan to be your son."
Yu Hua rolled his eyes, "They say you are a good person. This is the biggest misunderstanding of you by the outside world. You're full of bad ideas."
"I'm just interpreting what you said."
Zhou Yanze said with a smile, "Just let Hai Guo be my son, and I will teach you from now on. He makes music and teaches him how to make movies. I am better at both of these things than you.”
"Hey." Yu Hua sneered, "If you want a child, you can find a life for yourself. Don't try to take my son's advice."
"I don't have one yet. Let Hai Guo be my son first." , let me try my hand, otherwise I will have no experience when my own child comes out."
Yu Hua gave Zhou Yan a thumbs up angrily, "You are really a genius, why didn't I think of that before. This way, before giving birth, you can practice with other people's children."
Shi Tiesheng lit another cigarette beside him and said with a smile, "But then again, Zhou Yan, you are not too young this year. Don’t you think about the important things in your life? There are many girls around you, but no one likes you?”
“Yes, there is no possibility for you and Xiaoxian”
Zhou Yan twitched his lips, these two guys were no different from ordinary people, they were still very strange.
"Ahem." Zhou Yan coughed lightly and changed the subject, "The representative meeting will be held next month. Have you made an appointment with your poker friends?"
Yu Hua Nodding, "Of course. When Su Tong and Han Shaogong come, are you afraid that there will be no one to play cards with?" "You can ask them to come over in advance, and I will be the host for everyone to get together."
“That’s no problem. You’re a big business here, so if you don’t eat, you’ll get nothing.”
"Okay, tell me how many people there are in advance, and I will make arrangements then."
"There are not many people, the main thing is to let you know each other."
"It doesn't matter. I can call you if you don’t know me. We’ll know each other after we have dinner, right?”
“Okay, I’ll come and see you then”
…… >
After Yu Hua and Shi Tiesheng had dinner in the cafeteria, they went to the large recording studio.
Zhang Zuoquan was practicing "Xu Sanguan" in the large recording studio today as always, and the two of them became his audience, listening to him play the piano quietly.
It wasn’t until after nine o’clock that Zhou Yan drove them back.
After returning home, Zhou Yan took a shower and was about to go to the study to work for a while when the phone in the living room rang.
The call was made by Hong Ben from Mexico. He is now on the set of "Titanic" and calls Zhou Yan regularly to report on his work.
"Director Zhou, I really learned a lot today. I didn't expect that the movie could be shot like this..."
As soon as the call was connected, Hong Ben was very excited to share with Zhou Yan the new things he had learned on the scene recently. Knowledge.
What Hong Ben is talking about is the sequence of "I am the King of the World". Cameron used half live action and half CG, and used an orbital rotation method to shoot it.
Hong Ben had never heard of this kind of shooting technique before, let alone seen it before, so he was so excited.
When he first went to the filming set of "Titanic", Hong Ben was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. He was very surprised to see everything, especially the half-built ship on set.
The visual impact of that thing was so strong that Hong Ben himself said that when he walked under the big ship, his mind was completely blank because he could not imagine that making a movie could actually achieve this level.
In addition to the big boat, there were many small boats of other proportions on the scene. At first, Hong Ben didn't know what these boats were used for. Later, as the filming progressed, he understood more and more.
The more he understood, the more surprised he became.
Before going out, Hong Ben felt that the filming technology of their crew was quite advanced. Although it was certainly not up to par with the top foreign standards, the gap should not be too big. After all, the filming technology and equipment of their crew had exceeded most of the domestic crew.
Furthermore, Zhou Yan’s shooting techniques were something Hong Ben had not seen a long time ago.
But after arriving at the filming site of "Titanic", Hong Ben realized that he had been sitting in a well and looking at the sky. Hollywood's film shooting technology was completely different from that in China.
Not only is the gap between equipment, but also the gap between shooting concepts.
Seeing such a gap, Hong Ben was a little discouraged at first. After all, the gap was so big that it was difficult to think of transcending.
But gradually, his mentality changed and he began to seriously carry out the tasks assigned to him by Zhou Yan.
What he has to do now is to study the techniques of "Titanic" well, follow Zhou Yan in filming after returning to China, and improve domestic filming techniques.
Zhou Yan had said something before that was very reassuring. Zhou Yan told him that the technology of "Titanic", let alone China, was unparalleled even if it was placed in Hollywood. As long as it comes from them If you learn one-tenth of the techniques, you can surpass most Hollywood movies.
In addition, movies are not just about technology, and Chinese movies are not completely without advantages.
After listening to Hong Ben excitedly share what he had seen recently, Zhou Yan said with a smile, "When you study on site, don't be superficial, you must know what is happening and why. If you don’t understand a technique, don’t be embarrassed and be brave enough to ask. Assistant director Sebastian has a good relationship with me. You can keep in touch with him if you have anything to do. Ask him directly if you need anything.”
“Yes. , in fact, the people in the directing team take great care of me. Even director James Cameron treats me better than people in other departments. Sometimes, I feel that they are a little too kind to me, especially. It's Christie. Come over and ask me if you have any questions. Of course, I know, they are all doing it for your sake."
Zhou Yan smiled, and the director team had a reason to give him face. .
When he was in Canada, Zhou Yan could be said to have saved James Cameron's life and also saved Christie's life.
If Zhou Yan hadn't stopped Christie's attack with his arm, the consequences would have been disastrous, and the movie "Titanic" would have ceased to exist.
It’s just that Hong Ben didn’t know about this.
Although this matter was in the newspapers at the time, the details were not clear to the outside world, and the crew did not disclose them to the outside world.
On the one hand, this matter is still under investigation, and the police also asked them not to disclose too much information to the outside world. On the other hand, such details would not have a good impact on the crew for the time being, so James Cameron also asked those present at the time not to tell the outside world.
"Since they have taken the initiative to ask you if you have any needs, don't be embarrassed. If you have any questions, just go to them directly."
"I understand. By the way, Sebastian has been with me these two days. Christie even asked me, when will you come over?"
Zhou Yan said thoughtfully, "I'll see what happens. I'm still working on "Space Traveler" in the later stages. After finishing it, I may have other things. By December. I have other things to do, so I may not be able to make it this year. "
"It would be a shame if I couldn't come. I think Christie would be particularly disappointed," Hong Ben said with a smile. The color of gossip.
Christie would go to Hong Ben and ask him if he needed anything, and she would ask Zhou Yan every time.
Hong Ben could tell that Christie was different from Zhou Yan, and he obviously liked Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan also heard the gossip in Hong Ben's tone and said angrily, "I think you are still too idle at the scene. I need to arrange more tasks for you."
"Compared to others, I do have a lot of free time. The key is that the atmosphere on the set is so oppressive that I feel a little suffocated watching from the side. Before, I thought you put a lot of pressure on me, Director Zhou, but now it seems that you are really gentle. "
"The crew is under a lot of pressure?"
"Well, the director has a dark face every day, and the producer has been very negative in recent times. , people were injured every day, the budget was falling, and the filming progress was not satisfactory. I heard Sebastian mentioned that the film’s budget was not enough.”
"The budget is not enough?" Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes.
“When I was chatting with Sebastian two days ago, he mentioned it casually, and I didn’t ask in detail. After all, it had nothing to do with me. No wonder the producer was anxious, this The cost of the movie is too high. If the budget cannot keep up with the plan, the loss will be too great. Oh, by the way, their insufficient budget will not affect our studio's income. How about I ask again? Asking?"
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Don't worry about this, just stay with the crew." (End of Chapter)
