If Chen Feng could write a piano piece for her on her birthday, not only would it bring her greater fame, but at least it would give her a good souvenir.
It's a pity that Miranda doesn't agree. She is Chen Feng's girlfriend after all. She doesn't agree, and Blainey can't say anything else. In fact, she is also a little afraid of having an affair with Chen Feng. It's not that she doesn't want to have something with Chen Feng, but that
I'm afraid that if something happens with Chen Feng, the relationship between them will be awkward.
At least, she now feels that her relationship with her boss, Chen Feng, is quite good. She doesn't want to change this relatively close superior-subordinate relationship. They can be considered friends, but certainly not lovers.
Therefore, the idea of asking him to write a piano piece for himself as a birthday gift was, at best, just a thought and unlikely to become a reality.
Blaney could only settle for the next best thing and hope that Chen Feng could write more songs for him.
"Boss, I hope you can give me at least three songs instead of the two you said before. I heard from Tina that you provided four songs for her new album this time. You can't be too partial to one.
"
Chen Feng shook his head and said: "Her situation is different from yours. The reason why I gave her 4 songs this time is because she wants to compete with Beyoncé, and she is not a singer-songwriter herself. I will definitely give her 4 songs.
Provide enough songs as ammunition. And your next new album will not be able to compete with others. Plus you are a singer-songwriter, so I give you two songs which is already very good. Don’t ask for too much, otherwise this will
I will also consider whether to give you two songs."
Blainey could only pouted aggrievedly and stopped talking. Chen Feng ignored her. He turned to Miranda and Catherine and said, "It's almost time, let's go back."
Of course, the two women had no objection. They said goodbye to Blainey and Cathy, who looked a little unhappy.
When Chen Feng and the other three left together, Petty looked relieved, patted her chest and said, "The boss put too much pressure on me. I didn't dare to speak just now. Cathy, you
That's awesome, you are the only one who has the courage to talk to the boss."
Cathy shook her head and said: "Actually, I was quite stressed just now, but I wasn't as relaxed as you saw on the surface. After all, he holds the power of life and death for the three of us. If he is dissatisfied with us, he will kill us at any time.
If we are expelled, our dream of becoming singers may end."
Patty and Camilla nodded in unison.
Camilla turned to look at Blainey and said with admiration: "Braney, you are really awesome. You actually risked Miranda's life to make such a request to the boss. Ask the boss to write a song specifically for you.
Piano music. Do you want the same treatment as Miranda?"
When Blaney heard this, he couldn't help but glared angrily: "What are you talking about? I just want my boss to write a piano piece for me. Who stipulates that he can only write it for his girlfriend? I have nothing to do with my boss.
, please don’t make random guesses.”
Camilla smiled and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter what you have with the boss. The boss is young, rich, versatile, and handsome. It's normal to like him. In fact, I like him very much, but I just don't have the courage to ask him.
He confessed that this kind of man is the best I have ever seen."
Cathy frowned and complained: "How could the boss like a little brat like you?"
Camilla said dissatisfied: "That's not necessarily the case."
Patty smiled and said: "It seems that Cathy also likes our young and handsome boss."
Blainey said angrily: "You all should stop being crazy. The boss is a serious person. He can't fall in love with you, and of course he can't fall in love with me. He is a gentleman and is very loyal to love. According to reports
As far as I know, after he and Miranda became lovers, he never had an affair with another woman, let alone cheating on her. He is a very decent person, so it is impossible for me to have an affair with him."
Camilla said with some emotion: "It seems that our boss is a different kind. He is young, rich, talented and good-looking, and he also has resources in his hands that can make people famous overnight. He is not lewd at all.
It’s such a shame.”
Upon hearing this, Blainey couldn't help but said angrily again: "Watch your mouth, you have just joined our beautiful ladies, don't ruin your bright future because of your bad mouth, you must know that you are now
The contract you signed with the company is just for newbies and you are trainees. The company can unilaterally fire you and find another suitable candidate. There are too many girls like you with so-called dreams.
You are not irreplaceable."
"When you met with your boss before, he didn't know that there was a girl group in the company at first, but after he found out later, he was more accepting of you being a girl group, so it's very likely that the boss will strongly support you.
You must seize this opportunity."
Blainey is their senior, and he has always taken good care of them after joining the company. In addition, there is not much age difference between them, Blainey does not have any airs, and the three of them get along well with her and have a good relationship.
Getting along well.
But Blainey is a famous person after all, and he is a senior. He spoke to them so seriously, so of course he nodded repeatedly to show his humbly accepting it, and at the same time expressed his gratitude to her.
In the following days, Chen Feng basically brought Catherine or Miranda to the company every day, either to record or to see the post-production status of the film "Juno".
A week later, the final product of "Juno" was edited and produced according to Chen Feng's wishes, and it was finally completed.
In the editing room, Chen Feng, Miranda, and Marcia watched Chen Feng's version together.
After reading it, all three of them were quite satisfied with the final product, and Marcia was no exception.
However, the Marcians believe that their version is no worse than Chen Feng's, and his version should be completed in the next two days.
Of course, Chen Feng and Miranda will not doubt that Marcia is recognized as the world's number one female director. Moreover, she directed this movie herself, and she must have a deep understanding of this movie, so according to her
I mean, the edited version shouldn't be bad either.
But in Chen Feng's opinion, his version is based on the original work of The Original Spacetime and is the result of striving for excellence. It can be said to be standing on the shoulders of giants. The film The Original Spacetime has also received good reviews and received
It has been nominated for multiple awards, including an Oscar.
So facing the upcoming version of Marcia, Chen Feng is still relatively confident.
He believes that when the time comes for internal screening and fair competition, his version should be able to win.
Two days later, the piano single recording of Catherine's "Girl's Prayer" officially ended. Chen Feng selected the best version from it and used it as the final master tape for production and release.
I believe that after the release of Catherine's piano single, she has become a "Piano Girl". Album sales are secondary. After all, she is only sixteen years old, and this is her first single release.
More importantly, this single album has a relatively important commemorative significance for Catherine.
On this day, Marcia's version of "Juno" was finally edited and produced. So Chen Feng, Miranda, and Marcia watched it together in the editing room. After watching it, Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh, he
He is also a director. Although the level of directors is not very high now, his appreciation level is still there.
Chen Feng had to admit that Marcia, a female director, had a lot of skills, and he also had to admit that the film she edited was very deep.
Marcia's version focuses more on human nature. Although the ending looks good, it is still a bit depressing. Chen Feng's version actually focuses more on female independence based on the original work, and the ending is heartwarming.
, if coupled with the background music in the later period, it can give people a warmer feeling.
In fact, the biggest difference between the two in post-production is that their styles are very different.
To put it simply, Marcia's treatment is somewhat depressing, while Chen Feng's treatment is somewhat healing.
The two had some deviations in their understanding of the film, and as a result, these two versions appeared with somewhat different concepts and styles.
But no matter who wins the two versions in the end, it cannot deny the excellence of the other work and the other version, so Chen Feng has decided in his heart that no matter who wins in the end, both works will be produced and released.
You are truly a great director in Hollywood. Marcia Chen Feng praised from the bottom of his heart, and then continued, "This movie was edited according to your wishes. It is indeed very exciting and gives me a lot of confidence. No matter what happens in the end,
Which of the two versions wins? I have decided that both versions will eventually be produced and distributed. However, if it really enters theaters and is screened publicly, it will definitely be the version of the show. But before that, I hope that the two of us will not
Because of the unpleasantness caused by this incident, no matter who wins in the end, in fact we are all already winners, don’t you think?"
Chen Feng's words were very sincere. Marcia smiled and nodded: "Of course, I can still distinguish between public and private. What's more, this is just a different understanding of a movie between the two of us. This is not principled.
question, so even if you win in the end, I won’t have any objections. However, I would like to ask if you can invite more people to watch the movie, such as those film critics with higher professional qualifications. Also let them participate in voting.
, don’t worry, I won’t tell them which movie I am leading.”
Chen Feng thought for a while and nodded: "I have no objection to this, but I want to say that you don't need to care too much about the opinions of film critics. In my opinion, the opinions of the audience are more important. And the members of our crew are the best
The audience participated in the filming and production of this film, and their opinions are actually the most important. They should be able to tell which of the two films is more suitable for public screening and winning awards."
Marcia nodded and said: "You are right. Then I will only invite 10 people, plus the 50 people from the crew. There are 60 people in total. You and I will not participate in the voting. Everyone else will have one vote. The one with the most votes in the end will
People win.”
Chen Feng also nodded, but still emphasized that they should not let them know in advance which movie we are responsible for producing.
"Of course." Marcia agreed in a frightened voice.
That's how things were settled.
In the blink of an eye, on the second day, a total of 60 people arrived at the Beauty Beauty Company neatly.
The large conference room on the 5th floor is more than enough to seat 60 people.
Through projection, 60 people watched the same two movies with different styles. They were then asked to vote on the two movies on the spot.
The result is not much suspense in Chen Feng's opinion. Although Marcia's version is also excellent, he mixed too many healing elements into this movie, and some places are either pretentious or a bit too much.
It's so profound, at least to ordinary people, that it can be a bit confusing.
Therefore, among the 60 people, 37 people voted for Chen Feng's film, and there were 5 abstentions left, so in the end, only 18 votes were actually cast for Marcia.
And in Chen Feng's opinion, most of the 18 votes were cast by the film critics invited by Marcia.
For this result, Marcia obviously did not expect it at all. In her opinion, even if she lost, she would still be behind by a few votes at most. But the result was like this, which made her unable to accept it for a while.
She immediately asked those who voted for the first version why they did not vote for the second version.
Except for Miranda, the people watching the movie inside did not know which of them the two versions belonged to. Of course, some people with better minds may have guessed it.
But in the end, they still followed the requirements that Chen Feng and Miranda specifically stated before voting: do not engage in fraud and vote entirely based on their own preferences.
Anyway, cheating won't do them any good, and neither Chen Feng nor Marcia are easy to offend, so just vote according to your own heart.
Those who voted for Chen Feng's film also answered Marcia's questions on the spot.
The reason is simple. Although they are members of the crew, they prefer the concise, lively and warm narrative style of Chen Feng's version. At least in Chen Feng's version, the heroine is very lovable. She also has an enlightened father and a loving mother.
A stepmother, a very considerate best friend, and a boy who is still growing up.
It feels very down-to-earth when you look at it, as if you are looking at the real life around you.
In Marcia's version, although the heroine is still lovable, the father is still enlightened, the stepmother is still loving, and the best friends are caring, the whole movie is always filled with a faint healing atmosphere. Especially when the heroine gives birth to herself
In fact, everyone knows that this is something that the heroine has to do, and everyone can understand it, but according to Marcia's narrative technique, it is still very depressing.
Therefore, it is easy to understand why everyone chooses the warmer version of Chen Feng.
There are always more people who like comedy movies than tragedies. This is an indisputable fact.
Marcia lost because of the audience's love for comedy and instinctive resistance to tragedy. It's not that unfair.
