After explaining the company's affairs to Yan Kui, Zuo Le turned his attention to the post-production of "Enter Guandong" and several crews currently being filmed and approved by Shanhe.
The specific editing and production of "Crossing Guandong" was handled by Liu Guangyang, who was hired with a large sum of money. Zuo Le often checked the progress and communicated with Liu if he had any questions, which saved a lot of energy.
Zuo Le personally followed up with the theme song of "Enter Guandong" and the ending song "Homeland".
In the past, most of the theme songs of Zuo Le's works were sung by actors in the play or by ordinary singers. The quality varied, mainly because Zuo Le himself did not pay attention to them.
But this time "Crossing Guandong" is different. Zuo Le really likes the song "Homeland". If he didn't think that his singing voice was not good, he would have played it himself.
Therefore, this time Zuo Le wanted to do something big, so he asked someone to contact two top-level singers in China - teachers Zhang Huan and Song Yingying.
These two teachers have stopped singing for a long time. Zhang Huan occasionally comes out to participate in activities, and Song Yingying is basically in a state of retirement.
Zuo Le also had the attitude of giving it a try and mailed the lyrics score of "Homeland" to the two teachers.
Unexpectedly, after reading the lyrics, Teacher Zhang Huan quickly called Zuo Le and expressed his willingness to sing the song, but he had a condition.
Teacher Zhang Huan will hold a global music tour at the end of the year. He is interested in the song "Homeland" and hopes to obtain the commercial copyright of this song.
In exchange, he could sing the theme song of the TV series for free this time. Later, he learned that Zuo Le was planning to invite teacher Song Yingying, and he also said that he could help contact her.
Isn’t this pie in the sky?
Zuo Le reached an agreement with Zhang Huan without saying anything.
Afterwards, with the help of Zhang Huan, teacher Song Yingying, who had not been out in the field for a long time, made a rare exception. The two old friends collaborated again after many years and performed the song "Homeland" together.
Zuo Le was at the scene at the time. After listening to the two teachers singing, there were only four words left in his mind.
The sound of nature!
Zuo Le finally understood the difference between a singer and a singer. Some people really have soul when they sing.
Especially the lullaby sung by teacher Song Yingying, combined with the plot of "Crossing the Guandong" and carefully experiencing it, really makes people cry.
Zuo Le was just because the sound engineer was nearby, otherwise he might have lost his temper for once.
After finishing the theme song, Zuo Le temporarily took a break from the affairs of "Enter Guandong" and began to inspect the three crews being launched by the company.
"Go Boy" by Gao Xinjian
"Don't Talk to Strangers" by Kong Sheng
"The Story of College Students" by Xue Jun
Among them, "Don't Talk to Strangers" is still in the preparation stage and is expected to be launched in early May.
"Go Boy" and "The Story of a College Student" have already started filming, especially the latter, which is now more than half-way through filming and is expected to be completed in May.
Zuo Le's first stop was the crew of "The Story of a College Student".
…………
Quancheng University
Zuo Le has not been to his alma mater for a long time. Now that he is visiting his old place again, he feels very emotional. He even dressed up and went to the cafeteria to reminisce about his college days.
Well, the food is still the same unpalatable, but there are a lot more varieties...
"The Story of a College Student" has many scenes in the cafeteria, classrooms and even requires the cooperation of a large number of students, so Xue Jun simply placed the filming location directly at Quancheng University.
The dormitory is a remote dormitory on the top floor. There are not many students living nearby, so filming will not disturb the students' rest.
The same goes for the classrooms. Quancheng University has designated two classrooms for the crew specifically for filming, which will neither delay the crew's progress nor affect the students' learning.
For cafeteria and campus scenes, unless necessary for the plot, the crew usually chooses to shoot on weekends to avoid as many students as possible.
After all, it is the boss's alma mater. Xue Jun does not want to have any disputes with the school and students because of the filming. He would rather the crew make trouble and make more concessions to the teachers and students of the school.
Unexpectedly, he accidentally won the favor of many teachers and students of Quancheng University. When Zuo Le contacted the leaders of Quancheng University, more than one person praised him for the prudent and thoughtful work of the "Story of College Students" crew.
When Zuo Le came to visit the class, the crew was filming the scene in the dormitory. When Zuo Le came to dormitory 222, he knew that Xue Jun and the others were attentive.
There is no other reason, the layout is too real.
Computers that will last forever as long as there is electricity; messy keyboards, mice and sundries; snacks, drinks and cigarette packs and lighters on the table; midnight snacks of instant noodles, ham and sausages piled up in the cabinet, and Goddess brand chili peppers worth 16 million
Sauce………
Except that the quilt was cleaner, there was no garbage smell in the room. Overall, it was similar to Zuo Lemei's college dormitory.
But it’s understandable, after all, it’s a TV series, and messiness can be tolerated. If you really pile garbage in the dormitory, it will disgust the audience.
And according to the plot setting, this mess is only when dormitory chief Lin Dachong is away, and the remaining three people will be so "unscrupulous". If Lin Dachong, who is slightly mysophobic, is here, he will clean the dormitory.
Anyone who dares not to listen will be punished immediately by filling their ears with a unique magic sound!
………
Zuo Le came here once in a while, but Xue Jun kept holding on to him and wanted him to play a cameo role. Zuo Le made a few choices and chose the role of a teacher.
This teacher only appears once in the play, but the setting is quite interesting.
The plot is like this. Li Fanda fell in love with a girl from another elementary school. He was timid, so he took Liu Xiaodao and Lu Pangpang to be brave. The three of them followed the girl into the classroom, and then they were questioned by the teacher Zuo Le.
Afternoon, classroom
Zuo Le combed his hair, holding a wolfberry teacup in his hand, wearing an old-fashioned suit and glasses, and walked to the podium.
Shen Teng, Jiang Chao, Lei Jiayin and the actor who played the school girl were sitting in the middle, with a dozen extra students next to them.
"Ahem."
Zuo Le patted the podium with a sullen face: "It's time for class, stop talking. That fat guy, and the one with squinting eyes in front, yes, it's the one with the wrinkles on his face. Stop looking, it's you, just sit down."
"
As soon as he appeared on the stage, Zuo Le first provoked Li Fanda and Lu Pangpang, directly establishing a "conflict" between the two parties, paving the way for what follows.
"We mentioned in the last class that Professor Hawking proposed the black hole theory in 1974. That fat classmate, yes, the one behind the wrinkled face, please explain the black hole theory."
Teacher Zuo Le was very arrogant and even took the time to drink two sips of the wolfberry tea prepared by the crew.
Then Lu Pangpang, played by Jiang Chao, took over the role. Lu Pangpang's character was a college scumbag, so he replied happily.
"Teacher, I don't know how."
"What did you say?"
Zuo Le played the teacher's doubts and dissatisfaction very well.
"I said, I don't know how." Lu Pangpang was still a scumbag and indifferent.
boom!
Zuo Le was irritated by Lu Pangpang's attitude, pointed at him and said angrily: "Ignorance, what did your parents ask you to do with money?"
Lu Pangpang was dissatisfied and pointed at Li Fanda and Liu Xiaodao: "The question you asked me is too difficult. If you ask them, they won't be able to answer it."
Zuo Le put down the cup and looked at Liu Xiaodao: "Who proposed the black hole theory?"
"Hawking."
Zuo Le looked at Li Fanda again: "When did Hawking propose it?"
"1974."
Finally, he looked at Lu Pangpang: "How do you explain the black hole theory?"
Lu Pangpang: “…”
"Without learning or skill, what do your parents do with money? Stand up and listen. I can't stand students like you, and I won't be reasonable."
Zuo Le got excited and squirted wildly at Lu Pangpang, and in the end he even acted on the spot.
"What era are we in now? If we don't study hard, will we be able to make a difference in the future?
I used to have a student who was also from our school and had the same moral character as you. But now he is filming a TV series and has made a fortune. Where can he go to argue with you..."
Zuo Le did a good job in this part, creating an irritable teacher with a sense of joy. Director Xue Jun was so happy behind the monitor that he decided to cut out this part separately when "Stories of College Students" was about to be aired.
Promotional video flowers.
