When Chen Jianhao heard Lu Chen say that there was a work that met Zhang Wentian's requirements, he secretly screamed in his heart that it was terrible.
Lu Chen obviously lost his sense of normalcy in front of this great director and was too eager to express himself.
A professor from the Composition Department of Beijing Music and a professor from the Chinese Department of Peking University, two mentor-level figures working together, were not sure that they could come up with a work that would satisfy Zhang Wentian. Lu Chen actually dared to boast about Haikou here.
Chen Jianhao blushed a little.
Chen Jianhao called Lu Chen over today mainly for the purpose of attending the hearing. He and Gao Yue are distant relatives, so they call each other uncle. The relationship is not very deep, so there is no big problem in helping with the hearing.
Zhang Wentian's presence was entirely a coincidence.
For Lu Chen to become familiar with this great director, it will be very beneficial for him to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry and even enter the film and television industry in the future.
But Chen Jianhao never imagined that Lu Chen would be so eager for quick success!
Of course he thought he could understand Lu Chen's thoughts.
In the entertainment industry, the status of an artist and the size of his role are closely related to his career.
Generally speaking, movie actors are the most qualified. If they can achieve the position of movie king or movie queen with enough gold content, they will be a well-deserved big shot in the industry and be respected by everyone.
Although the singer may be more popular than many actors, he is really not that good in terms of talent.
Therefore, after many singers become famous, they work hard to get into the film and television industry and become so-called three-dimensional stars!
Like those new-generation idols, they most like to make TV dramas after their debut, and they can act out the most bloody plots with gusto. They will fight for a supporting role that only appears in a few episodes, and they will create countless gossips.
Therefore, no newcomer can maintain a normal mentality in front of Zhang Wentian.
If you can get the favor of this great director and even appear in his blockbuster, it will be worth the hype!
Although he understands, Chen Jianhao still feels disappointed.
Gao Yue's favorable impression of Lu Chen also dropped from three points to one point in an instant.
It is polite to say that Lu Chen's newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but it is more correct to say that he does not know how high the sky is.
After all, Zhang Wentian is an old Jianghu. After being surprised, he quickly looked calm, nodded and picked up the teacup.
In fact, I don't think so.
He didn't ask about Lu Chen's works. He made his attitude clear.
Chen Pu showed a half-smiling look and said, "Really? Then you can sing it for us old guys."
On the contrary, he was the only one willing to give Lu Chen a chance, even if his tone was full of teasing.
Lu Chen felt clear in his heart, knowing that his words had aroused the resentment of several seniors.
But since he dares to say it, of course he has the confidence!
After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen picked up the sterilized chopsticks placed on the tea table and took out a bamboo chopstick from the paper cover.
He pinched the tip of the chopsticks with the thumb and index finger of his right hand and said in a neither humble nor condescending tone: "You're showing off your shame, young man."
As soon as he finished speaking, the heads of the chopsticks hit the table at the same time.
He used chopsticks as mallets and the table as a drum, beating the intro with sonorous sounds and singing along with the rhythm.
"Facing the waves with pride,
Hot blood is like the red sun!
Courage is as strong as iron,
Bones like fine steel,
With a huge mind,
The vision is thousands of miles long.
I work hard,
Be a good man!
…”
After Lu Chen sang a few words, the expressions of the two professors and Zhang Wentian changed.
Chen Pu was stunned.
Gao Yue was surprised!
Director Zhang Da suddenly opened his eyes wide. He stared at Lu Chen, as if he had discovered some treasure!
Zhang Wentian is a very stubborn person, stubborn to the point of paranoia.
He has very strict requirements for his career. Whether he is filming a TV series or a movie, he never cares about it. He can do a very good job and never spend only nine percent of his efforts to complete it.
In 1991, Zhang Wentian started filming "Three Kingdoms Entertainment". It was not completed until 1994.
The crew of hundreds of people traveled to more than half of China for three years, shooting countless scenes and setting up countless scenes. The costumes, props, and buildings involved in the play all strictly followed historical facts, resulting in a huge overrun of the final budget. The investors were very worried.
, almost declared the project to be unfinished.
But in the end, the filming was completed and it was broadcast during the prime time period of CCTV's first program, setting a ratings record of 89.35%. Although none of the major TV stations had released it at that time, it was an absolute miracle.
This is true for making TV series, let alone making movies. Zhang Wentian's seriousness and persistence often make investors burst into tears. After 2000, all the movies he made lost money because of this, and gradually went silent.
However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Zhang Wentian is still a big star in the film and television industry. This time he comes back from a hiatus of ten years. He is also full of ambitions and wants to become famous both in terms of reputation and box office.
The stubborn side of this great director was once again exposed. Even though the script had already been completed and the crew and actors were all in place, the filming was still delayed because the theme song could not be selected. It was really speechless.
But Zhang Wentian himself doesn't think so, what he wants is a feeling.
Once the feeling is in place, the shooting will naturally be as smooth as clouds and flowing water. Otherwise, it will seem like it lacks a soul and cannot capture what he really wants.
The theme song is the soul of this movie!
Zhang Wentian personally found four or five songwriters to write the theme song for the movie.
To be fair, the quality of these works is good, but none of them can satisfy Zhang Wentian.
In desperation, he found two old friends, hoping to gain something.
What Zhang Wentian didn't expect was that a newcomer in the industry who happened to be in the right place actually said that his work was suitable and even dared to sing it on the spot.
At the beginning, Director Zhang Da really wanted to watch a joke, and he thought Lu Chen was just here to amuse and relieve his boredom.
However, he was stunned!
Lu Chen's accompaniment with chopsticks was almost child's play. He kept his voice low and didn't sing high-pitched, but as soon as he opened his voice, the majestic atmosphere and passionate breath contained in the lyrics and melody hit his face, instantly shocking his soul.
Unlike Chen Pu and Gao Yue, the two professors were simply surprised. They did not say how excited they were or anything else. Zhang Wentian was really shocked.
What he has been searching for is precisely this feeling, the charm contained in this song!
boom!
The next moment, Zhang Wentian suddenly slapped the case and stood up, his eyes widened: "Stop!"
He slapped the palm so hard that if the tea table in the private room had not been exquisitely crafted and heavy, the tea bowls placed on it would have been knocked over.
Lu Chen was startled and immediately stopped singing.
That's right, this song needs to be "roared" with the breath, otherwise it won't taste good at all.
"No, no, no"
Zhang Wentian lowered his head thoughtfully and walked back and forth a few steps, as if he was trying hard to find something.
Chen Pu and Gao Yue looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know what was wrong with the great director.
Lu Chen's piece sounds interesting at first, but it won't make him so out of control, right?
Gao Yue smiled and asked: "Young man, your song is to the tune of the general's order, right?"
The professor of the Composition Department of Jingyin felt a little guilty. Just now he thought Lu Chen was trying to impress people and wanted to be in the limelight, but now he realized that the latter was really talented.
Lu Chen quickly replied: "Yes, Professor Gao."
Gao Yue asked again: "What is the name of that song?"
"Men should strengthen themselves!"
In Lu Chen's dream world, this song is a classic movie theme song. Its influence exceeds all works of the same type. It was composed by a person who can be regarded as a master.
In his memory, the person who liked this song the most was not Xu Bo or Mo Ran. It was Fang Mingyi!
"Men should strengthen themselves!"
Gao Yue repeated it and praised: "What a name, what a tune!"
Chen Pu also nodded: "The lyrics are better."
The lyrics of this song sound very rough at first, full of a rough atmosphere, but with the melody, they are greatly sublimated, making people feel excited and full of chivalry.
"all good!"
At this time, Zhang Wentian finally came to his senses and said loudly: "The only bad thing is the accompaniment. This song should be played with a big drum to have the real flavor!"
The great director stared at Lu Chen with eager eyes: "Sing it again. Sing it completely, with drum accompaniment!"
Hitting it with chopsticks is simply insulting this piece of music!
"Well"
Lu Chen couldn't complain anymore. This was a quiet and elegant teahouse. Where could there be a drum instrument?
But he really underestimated this teahouse called "Yuming Tea Garden". Chen Jianhao called the waiter and asked to borrow a drum. The latter did not show the slightest surprise or embarrassment and quickly accepted the order.
go.
After ordering the waiter, Chen Jianhao looked at Lu Chen with a very strange look. You guys are hiding deep enough!
As the saying goes, if you don't sing, you will be a blockbuster, and that's probably it!
Lu Chen noticed Chen Jianhao's gaze and could only smile bitterly.
He himself did not expect to play such a big role. It was entirely because he heard the movie script narrated by Zhang Wentian just now, and the song "A Man Should Be Strong" appeared in his mind, and he said it without thinking too much.
This song fits the plot very well, and director Zhang Wentian’s masterpiece will not disgrace the classic!
Unexpectedly, Zhang Wentian's reaction was so intense.
Of course, at this point, Lu Chen felt calm. He didn't expect to get a role in Zhang Wentian's movie with just one song. As long as he established a friendly cooperative relationship with this great director, it would be a huge benefit.
And creating movie theme songs can greatly enhance your character!
The popularity in the industry represents the value of being a celebrity. The higher Lu Chen’s popularity, the more valuable his works are.
He would never miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
About 10 minutes later, two waiters came to the private room carrying a drum.
Also coming with me was a beautiful woman wearing Hanfu——
ps: My fingers hurt last night, and I had to wait until 12 o'clock to complete the coding. When I woke up in the morning, my six fingers were completely stiff. I rubbed them repeatedly with medicated oil to finally relieve them. Although I was full of thoughts, I could only tap them slowly. There was really nothing I could do.
I'll send this update first, and I'll try my best to post the second update tonight.
ps1: Thanks to Jianglang Shanxia Dachenzi’s friend for the reward of 10,000 starting coins, and congratulations on his promotion to the hall master.
ps2: The update has not met the requirements, so I won’t ask for votes. I apologize for your understanding. (To be continued.)
