On the opening day of the film festival, probably the biggest gain was getting to know Chen Xunqi.

Qian Chen and him exchanged contact information.

There were a lot of discussions about the soundtrack.

"The musical instrument I use is the guqin..."

"Why use guqin? It's not easy to make music with guqin." Chen Xunqi didn't understand.

There are fewer and fewer people playing the piano, but you can still see people playing the guzheng.

Guqin Thirteen Strings.

Guzheng twenty-one strings.

Therefore, most people may think that guzheng with more strings is more difficult to learn.

In fact, this is not the case. The structure of Guqin seems simple, but it has nothing to do with how easy it is to learn.

Basically, learning Guqin cannot rely solely on your own understanding and hard work.

The most important thing is to have a good teacher. Generally speaking, when teachers teach students, they first teach "Qin Guan", that is, some basic ideas of guqin, and then teach specific methods and music.

The "reduced word score" of Guqin music also needs the guidance of a teacher to learn.

Much more difficult than staff notation.

Guqin players are stuck in their ways, conservative and don't know how to adapt.

They always stick to the "elegance" of the guqin and are unwilling to actively innovate and orient it to the masses to improve its popularity and entertainment.

If Guqin had not been selected as a World Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2003 and included in the Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2006, there might have been even fewer people learning it.

Guzheng is much better.

Many children learn guzheng from an early age.

"I don't know many musical instruments, so I can't help it." Qian Chen was also helpless.

Guzheng, pipa, flute, and erhu were common musical instruments in ancient times.

Only palace maids and singing girls can learn this.

Almost all educated people and nobles learn Guqin.

Therefore, the guqin made by Qian Chen's godfather Feng Bao is very popular.

"I know a few guqin players. I can introduce you to them later. Oh, by the way, if you can play guqin, I'm in Shanghai these days. I wonder if I have a chance to listen to it?" Chen Xunqi was very curious about Qian Chen's guqin skills.

.

"Maybe it's not possible." Qian Chen was a little embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Chen Xunqi is very considerate.

"No, my piano is still being made. I haven't finished it yet. I think it will be ready next month." Qian Chen explained quickly.

He never placed an order to buy a guqin.

Once he saw a musical instrument store on the street, and he walked in and asked about the guqin.

That's a big store.

But there are only four guqins in it, the cheapest one costs more than 3,000 yuan, and the expensive one costs 150,000 to 60,000 yuan.

Qian Chen tried the best one.

Regrettably, he found that the sound quality was very unsatisfactory, not even as good as the defective products he had handled in his previous life.

I heard that there are guqins that cost hundreds of thousands or even millions.

But Qian Chen really couldn't afford it.

He doesn't know how to build a nanny car, and the guqin is not difficult at all.

Even if you omit a little bit of the process and artificially control the drying environment, the products you make casually will not be worse than these products.

"You can also make pianos?" Chen Xunqi was shocked.

He is known as an all-rounder in the entertainment industry, but now I feel that Qian Chen is more talented than him.

At least he doesn't know how to make his own musical instruments.

"Yes, I'm a professional. Teacher Chen, if you have any friends who need it, I can help. It's definitely better than what those masters can do." Qian Chen hurriedly promoted the business.

At this time, he was no longer modest.

"I must, if I have a chance, I must listen to you play it."

As we talk, the opening ceremony is about to begin.

Qian Chen and the others made a temporary decision to come, and their positions were not arranged too far forward.

But it can't be too bad, after all, An Qian and Ye Xinwei are here.

After the boring opening ceremony ended, the three of them went home.

The next day, Qian Chen and Ye Xinwei went to the film exhibition hall together, where many teams behind the scenes and in front of the stage were displaying their achievements.

The director or production team shuttles among them to find suitable partners.

The actors will not come.

There are less than one tenth of the actors in the entire venue.

At most, there are some actors who want to try their hand at directing.

Ye Xinwei didn't know if Qian Chen wanted to be a director in the future, so he took Qian Chen with him and introduced him to him as he walked.

"Photography is very important. You can look at their photography experience. If you are not short of money, it is best to find a mature team,"

Qian Chen nodded and silently wrote it down.

When I get rich in the future, I will definitely film my own movies, that way I can make more money.

The dream of a big house, a swimming pool, and a mermaid, if you just rely on yourself to act, you have to wait until the year of the monkey.

"This kind of clothes is okay. You can ask them to customize them for costume dramas, but the price is exaggerated. At least 30% off."

The people at the booth immediately complained: "Mr. Ye, you don't know that the cost of fabrics has increased in the past two years, labor costs are not cheap, and our purchase price has also become higher."

It turned out that when he met someone who knew him, Ye Xinwei didn't defend himself, just laughed and continued walking with Qian Chen.

After a while, we finally came to the special effects area.

Not all those who do special effects are Wai Guoren, there are also Chinese people, but the level is indeed a bit inferior.

It's quite lively here.

Because a big shot came here to learn about the special effects team.

These special effects studios and companies are all pumping up their spirits, waiting for the boss to come.

"Brother Xing."

"Xinwei, why are you here?"

"I'm here to participate in the film festival. I came here today to see if there is a suitable special effects team."

The boss is none other than Zhou Xingxing.

The two of them know each other not only because they are both Hong Kong directors.

But Ye Xinwei starred in Zhou Xingxing's movie.

In "The Secret Agent" released in 1996, he guest-starred as a drifter.

I guess not many people know about it.

"I'm also taking a look at the special effects. Are there any gains?"

"I just came here, and I'm confused." Ye Xinwei pulled Qian Chen and introduced to Zhou Xingxing: "This is the male lead in my movie, Qian Chen, who I borrowed from Teacher Xu."

"Hello, I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." Zhou Xingxing shook hands with Qian Chen.

He often does various funny things in his film and television works.

But in reality, he is very serious most of the time, and can even be said to be introverted.

"Hello, I like your movies very much." Qian Chen was very polite.

There is no reason for him to be rude to such a big shot in the film industry.

Maybe he will become his godfather one day.

"Which one do you like?" Unexpectedly, Zhou Xingxing asked seriously.

"Journey to the West," Qian Chen said after a pause, "because it's very sad."

Zhou Xingxing smiled, chatted with Ye Xinwei for a few more words and then left.

After he left, Ye Xinwei became the focus of the scene, with several companies surrounding him for talks.

For directors like them, as long as they send a message, many special effects teams will come immediately.

But if you listen to it, you will find out that many of the things that come to your doorstep are actually quite watery.

That's why Ye Xinwei wanted to go to each booth to see it in person.

Talk face to face with the special effects artist.

Learn about their works, techniques, and some special effects concepts.

Sometimes, he and Qian Chen would also make some requests and ask the special effects artist what effects they could create.

Price is also a very important topic.

Many movies have hired large special effects teams, such as "Avatar" and "Transformers".

A lot of money is spent, but what you get in exchange is most likely scraps from these teams.

Just like when you buy water pipes for decoration, they are also from MSI, with unit prices ranging from more than ten yuan to more than 100 yuan. Don't expect others to use good materials for you.
