Chapter 23 'The Sun Also Rises' a Brecht-style film
Sparasi!
As a music master, Hisaishi Joe certainly knew about the suona instrument, but he only knew that what he listened to were the performances of our domestic suona performing artists overseas.
This kind of performance mainly plays classic pieces such as "A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix".
In other words, Hisaishi Joe doesn't know what kind of occasions the suona instrument appears more frequently in our country now.
As a music master, all he heard was the pure music from the suona.
This music...he has really never heard "Kikujiro's Summer" like this!
In fact, the real name of this piece is "summer", which means "summer", but when we translated it, we simply called it "Kikujiro's Summer".
In the soundtrack of this movie, this song is ranked first, but the last song on the album is called "summer-road".
That is, the ‘summer road’.
The song "Summer" is very cheerful.
The last "Summer Road" has a serious and solemn beginning, but in the second part, it returns to the "summer" melody.
In this way, the beginning and the end echo each other.
Hisaishi Joe himself said that he really likes "Summer". The melody of this piece is not complicated, but it gives people a very special pleasure.
At this moment, under the playing of a suona, this joy was amplified countless times!
Shen Fang didn't think too much. He even played with his eyes closed. He really liked this piece of music and he was naturally immersed in the music.
Until the song ends.
"Sbarasi!"
Hisaishi Joe couldn't help but stand up and applaud, which made Shen Fang blush a little.
The other party is a real music master, a master of film soundtracks. From Hayao Miyazaki to Takeshi Kitano, Hisaishi Joe has given one classic piece after another.
And this time...
Jiang Wen stood up directly and hooked up with Hisaishi Rang, "How is it? How sincere is this?"
"Sbarasi, Sbarasi..." Hisaishi Joe seemed to be a repeater now, and he also understood what Jiang Wen meant, "Jiang Sang, please leave the soundtrack to me this time! That,
Please tell me the specifics of this movie, please."
"No problem! Mr. Joe Hisaishi, I can't give you the script yet. After all, it hasn't been translated into Japanese yet, and you can't understand it. I'll just tell you about the movie."
"Okay! Thank you very much!"
"This movie is called "The Sun Also Rises." You can definitely understand it in English, the-sun-also-rise."
"Oh I see!"
"The movie is about four short stories..."
According to RB, Joe Hisaishi is a gentle person.
In Chinese terms, he is an honest person.
Jiang Wen is obviously not an honest person.
Even if Jiang Wen gives him the leading role, Shen Fang can't speak out of conscience.
Besides, this male protagonist might be a liar.
In this way, when Jiang Wen faced Hisaishi Joe, he gave Shen Fang the following:
Isn't this the feeling of bullying an honest person?!...
Just when Jiang Wen finished telling Hisaishi Joe the outline of "The Sun Also Rises", Hisaishi Joe looked over at Shen Fang.
Shen Fang was a little strange, because there was something special in the eyes of this powerful musician.
Hisaishi Joe said very sincerely: "Sang Shen, I plan to hold a concert in China next year. Here, I sincerely extend an invitation to Shen Sang to be my guest then, okay?"
After saying that, he bowed directly.
Although this bow did not reach 90 degrees and was just a ceremonial bow, the etiquette was really done well.
Shen Fang was at a loss for a moment, "Mr. Hisaishi Joe, this, this..."
This is such a great opportunity. Being able to share the stage with a famous musician like Joe Hisaishi is definitely a luxury dream for any musician.
But, what kind of musical instrument is Shen playing?
People abroad don’t understand Suona, but they do in China!
Let’s just say that suona appeared in this concert. How would the Internet comment?
Shen Fang played Hisaishi Joe's funeral song?
The life of netizens may not end there.
Just when Shen Fang was hesitant, Jiang Wen smiled and shook hands with Hisaishi Joe.
"Shen Fang is a bit shy. Mr. Hisaishi Joe, don't worry. If you hold a concert, Shen Fang will definitely be there! Even if he doesn't want to go, I'll kidnap him. How about that?"
The translator found his words interesting when he heard them, so he added a strong spirit of passionate Chuuni to the translation.
"Si Guoyi! Haha... then please!" Joe Hisaishi was extremely happy, and the scene of the concert seemed to have appeared in his mind.
He wears a black suit and plays the piano, and Shen Fang also plays the suona in a black suit.
It's really great.
It's just that Hisaishi Joe didn't expect that this scene also appeared in Shen Fang's mind, but he felt...
Why do they look so much like a ‘professional team’?
Next, Jiang Wen discussed the 'requirements' with Joe Hisaishi again.
"I don't have many requirements, it's just that the music is good."
He had some trouble translating this sentence, but he still translated it truthfully.
When Hisaishi heard this, he said, "This is 'good', so what exactly does it take to be 'good'?"
As for music, Jiang Wendan just said the word "good", which is too vague.
Shen Fang felt that Jiang Wen might be good at making movies, but you really don’t know much about music.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wen came prepared.
He took out a disc from his bag on the spot, handed it to Joe Hisaishi, and said very formally: "It's better than this."
Better than this?
what is this?
After Hisaishi Joe saw the disc clearly, his eyes widened, and even the few hairs he had left had the urge to stand up.
"This, this is Moza!"
Yes, that CD has Mozart on the cover.
…
After bullying the honest man, Jiang Wen took Shen Fang out of the Overseas Chinese Building.
In the car, Jiang Wen couldn't help being happy.
"Look, professional is professional. Mr. Hisaishi Joe just said Moza, not Mozart, hehe..."
Shen Fang couldn't help hearing his words.
"Teacher Jiang Wen, what do you call this request? That is, Mr. Hisaishi Joe has a good temper, but if it were someone else, he wouldn't be able to lift the table?"
"Haha! No matter what, he agreed, right? That's the end of it."
"But you are going too far. I don't even have much hair on my head, so you are still exerting pressure like this?"
"Hey! How can a grown man still care about his hair?... Oh, wait a minute, how can you just help outsiders speak for yourself?"
Jiang Wen seemed to have heard that Shen Fang was not on his side.
"I'm not speaking for outsiders, I'm speaking for the truth. How can anyone ask someone to compose a piece of music that surpasses Mozart?"
Shen Fang is confident and confident.
Jiang Wen also felt that he was in the wrong, "I just put some pressure on him. By the way, you are quite strange."
strangeness?
Shen didn't think he was strange even now, so he asked, "You still say that I speak for outsiders?"
Jiang Wen laughed loudly after hearing this, "That's not it, I mean, why don't you ask about that?"
"Which thing?" Shen Fang was still a little confused.
Jiang Wen simply stepped on the brakes, parked the car on the side of the road, and looked at Shen Fang with a pair of playful eyes, "Why don't you ask me about the male protagonist?"
Protagonist?
Shen Fang's eyes narrowed, "Isn't this what you said casually to deceive Mr. Hisaishi Rang?"
As soon as he said these words, Jiang Wen burst into laughter!
It seems that parking is the right choice.
Shen Fang felt more and more incredible, but he was still very cautious.
Jiang Wen almost laughed, and looked at Shen Fang very seriously, "I came back to China Theater this time just to choose actors. For the movie "The Sun Also Rises", I have to find a young man. If he is Let’s call him squad leader first, I think you are quite suitable.”
Quite suitable?
Shen Fang was stunned. He really couldn't believe what he heard in his ears.
Can I really play the leading role?
Moreover, he is also the leading actor of great director Jiang Wen?
Although many people can't understand the movie "The Sun Also Rises", well, Shen Fang also admitted that he himself can't understand the movie.
But this is definitely a classic movie, and for Shen Fang, this movie is too big!
It’s not that Shen Bo is belittling himself, but that he understands the film and television industry too well.
Shen Fang can responsibly say that the main reason why Hengdian's special actors can make a living is through those bad movies!
There are few good films and many bad films. Moreover, the audience actually does not know how many films we make in a year, and most of them have no chance to be broadcast.
But I have to say something for my colleagues, most of us are very serious when filming. You know, the scenes of special actors are often only a few minutes. If you can pass them in one scene, then you will make money for this day.
Whether a film is good or bad is not decided by the filming.
Now, I finally have the opportunity to play the leading role in a classic movie.
Shen Fang was very excited.
How come Jiang Wen can't see this?
"Excited?"
"No? Is it embarrassing?"
Shen Fang's retort this time was purely a conditioned reflex.
Jiang Wenhun didn't care, "Okay! It's not embarrassing! I'm filming a scene with Jiang Wen, and I'm still the leading actor, so it's normal to be excited."
Shen Fang couldn't help it, "Teacher Jiang Wen, don't praise yourself like this!"
Jiang Wen laughed loudly, "If there are no accidents, then the leading actor will be you."
Hearing these words, Shen Fang felt indescribably happy.
However, he still chose to hold on, and Shen Fang thought of an important question.
"Teacher Jiang Wen, I would like to ask what the movie "The Sun Also Rises" is about?"
Shen Fang really couldn't understand this movie before, but now he is going to be the leading actor, and the director is right in front of him.
Of course you have to ask for clarification.
But Jiang Wen smiled.
Chapter completed!
