Chapter 381 Demons Dancing Wildly, Is This the Power of Music?

Zhou Yan finally agreed to talk to Tommy Mottola on the phone. He also wanted to see what this guy wanted to say to him.

However, the content of the conversation between the two parties was somewhat beyond Zhou Yan's expectations. Tommy Mottola did not talk about the previous things or Celine Dion.

The two talked for a total of twelve minutes. During these twelve minutes, Tommy Mottola did not say anything formal. He was trying to get close to Zhou Yan the whole time.

From Zhou Yan's first movie "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" to "The Sixth Sense" which has been a big whirlwind in Europe and the United States this year, from Zhou Yan's instrumental albums to the songs he wrote for Backstreet Boys and Mariah Carey.

When mentioning Mariah Carey, this guy acted as if he had nothing to do with Mariah Carey, and it was not him who threw dirty water in front of the media before.

It has to be said that Tommy Mottola is really thick-skinned to be able to get to where he is today.

But after this phone call, Zhou Yan was confused. He didn't understand what Tommy Mottola wanted to do. Was the phone call of more than ten minutes just to get close to him?

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yan specifically asked Zhang Youan, "Is there any recent situation at Sony?"

He wanted to speculate Tommy Mottola's intentions through Sony's recent situation.

Zhang Youan frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head, "I haven't heard of any new situation. The biggest situation may be the divorce of their boss Tommy Mottola."

"Then what does he mean by calling me at this time?"

"I don't know, maybe he just wants to get along well. Tommy Mottola must have the ability, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get to the position of CEO of Sony Records at such a young age. But I heard that he is a fickle person, and when competing with other companies, his methods are also very special."

Tommy Mottola's experience can also be called legendary. He debuted as a singer at the age of 18 and became the global CEO of Sony Music at the age of 38.

At the age of 38, he can be in charge of an industry giant like Sony, so Zhang Youan said he was young.

Zhang Youan's expression was very tactful, but Zhou Yan understood it clearly. It was estimated that Tommy Mottola was an old bitch.

It seems that Mariah Carey's previous statement that Tommy Mottola was spying on her might be true.

"Then we have to be careful of him."

Zhang Youan nodded in agreement, "Yeah, but we still have to be okay on the surface, after all, we are also working with Celine Dion now."

"Of course, the cooperation is still going on normally, just have less dealings with Tommy Mottola."

If Tommy Mottola knew that he had been on the phone with Zhou Yan for more than ten minutes, and had been trying to get close to him for such a long time, but in the end Zhou Yan was more wary of him, he would probably vomit a few liters of blood.

In fact, Zhou Yan was too sensitive this time. Tommy Mottola made this call simply to get along with Zhou Yan, especially when they had some minor conflicts before.

At that time, Tommy Mottola threw dirty water on Zhou Yan and Mariah Carey. Of course, he was not targeting Zhou Yan. He was just angry when they were getting divorced and wanted to launch a wave of public opinion war against Mariah Carey.

It happened that Zhou Yan and Mariah Carey were in the news during that period, so he said so. If he said it to others, the outside world would not believe it, and the popularity would definitely not be as high as that of Zhou Yan.

In fact, he knew better than anyone that there was nothing between Zhou Yan and Mariah Carey, because he was really monitoring Mariah Carey and knew Mariah Carey's schedule and call records.

For a long time, Mariah Carey and Zhou Yan had no contact.

If Zhou Yan and Mariah Carey really had something, Tommy Mottola would have thrown out the evidence long ago.

Now that Zhou Yan is working with Celine Dion, Tommy Mottola still thinks that Y is quite generous. He chose to work with Celine Dion even though they had a feud before.

So Tommy Mottola thought he would take the initiative and call Zhou Yan to repair the relationship.

…

In the following days, the crew became busier and busier, and the working hours exceeded fourteen hours a day.

In fact, working fourteen hours a day is nothing. Zhou Yan often encounters this situation when he shoots movies.

When shooting "The Sixth Sense" and "The Chorus", when the shooting tasks are tight, they often work from six in the morning to ten in the evening.

But James Cameron's crew is different. They work fourteen hours a day, often starting at two o'clock in the afternoon and ending at four or five in the morning.

This kind of night scene is very tiring. Most people would rather work a few more hours during the day than stay up late at night.

However, such high-intensity work is also rewarding. After five days, all the scenes in Dartmouth were finished.

On August 28, the last scene of "Titanic" was shot in Dartmouth.

This scene is very simple, with few actors involved, the shots are not complicated at all, and the possibility of accidents is small, so everyone is in a good mood.

Although the filming of Titanic has just begun, they can take this opportunity to rest for a while after the scenes in Dartmouth are finished.

The filming should be completed at around 1:00 p.m. today, so most of them will have time to stroll around Dartmouth in the afternoon and evening.

After the morning filming was over, James Cameron set aside two hours for everyone to rest at noon, which was unprecedented.

Because there was enough time, everyone had a relaxed lunch today, not as nervous as usual.

The only drawback is that today's package meal is the same as usual, and the dishes are basically unchanged.

Not to mention other people, Zhou Yan has only been here for two weeks and is already tired of eating, especially seafood, which is the same every day, a pile of shellfish. When Zhou Yan sees the shells now, his skull will pain.

So for the past two or three days, Zhou Yan only ate sandwiches and didn't taste any seafood.

Sebastian, like Zhou Yan, had not eaten seafood for several days, and each of them was chewing a sandwich in their hands.

After finishing the sandwich, Sebastian asked Zhou Yan with a smile, "Are you going back to China tomorrow?"

Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, the tickets have been bought. I hope there will be no accidents today."

Sebastian smiled and said, "Even if there is an accident, it has nothing to do with you. If you need to reshoot anything, we will be here."

"Um."

"Do you have any plans for the afternoon and evening?" Sebastian asked again.

"I don't have any plans for the time being. I'll most likely still be in the room."

"That's too boring." Sebastian curled his lips, "We are going to go shopping in the evening. I heard that there is a good bar in the city center. I saw it when they took Ferold to the hospital last time. ”

Zhou Yan had no interest in bars and shook his head, "I don't drink often."

"Who says you can only drink when you go to a bar? It's the same for you when you drink juice." Sebastian raised his eyebrows again, "Christie will go too."

Zhou Yan felt inexplicable that Christie would just go. What does it have to do with him?

From the time he joined the group until now, Rong Gong and Christie have only chatted twice. They are not even friends, at best they are better than strangers.

Zhou Yan was about to say something when Sebastian added, "Actually, we said before that if you go to Mexico and there are so many people there, we want you to hold a concert for everyone... Of course, it will be free. Yes, I won't pay you."

"I never hold concerts that don't make money." Zhou Yan joked, and then added, "I just can't go to Mexico with you this time, but it's still possible to go to Mexico in a while. I'll give it to you then." You put on a show."

There are all kinds of musical instruments on the Mexican set, so it’s easy for Zhou Yan to show off his skills on the spot.

"Are you particularly good at the piano? I've never heard you play live?"

Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "I'm not very good at playing the piano."

"So what are you good at?"

"Blow the whistle."

Sebastian rolled his eyes, "You must be lying to me."

"Why are you lying to me?" Zhou Yan took out the Irish whistle used for the last recording from his bag.

He always only uses new instruments like this, and will naturally take them away after using them.

Fortunately, the whistle is relatively portable and can be easily put into a bag.

Sebastian took the whistle curiously and looked at it carefully, "Is this a piccolo?"

Zhou Yan curled his lips, you must say that Sebastian is a music novice, he also knows the piccolo.

In English, there are special words for piccolo and flute. Unlike Chinese, even if you don't know the piccolo, you can still get it based on its length and shape. So knowing the word piccolo is not that simple.

You know music, he can even recognize an Irish whistle as a piccolo.

The piccolo is actually a smaller version of the flute, with a very high pitch. It is very different from the Irish whistle. The air port and button holes are different.

"This is an Irish whistle."

In English, whistle, whistle and whistle are all the same word.

In fact, the Irish whistle is a whistle itself, which is why it is easy to learn.

When Sebastian heard the word "whistle", he knew that this instrument was different from the piccolo because the piccolo was blown horizontally.

He looked at the whistle mouth and said, "Is it okay to blow on it?"

"Well, just blow on it."

"I'll try..."

Seeing Sebastian about to play, Zhou Yan snatched the whistle directly from his hand and said, "Old Sebastian, please show some personal hygiene."

"It doesn't matter, I don't care."

"I care."

"Okay, then you can play it for me."

Zhou Yan nodded, satisfied his request, and played two notes casually.

The sound he played was very low, but the people next to him still heard it.

Not far away, Lori smiled and said, "Y, do you want to play music for us on the last day?"

Christie, who was lowering his head to eat, also raised his head and looked at Zhou Yan through the cabin window, with expectation in his eyes, "What are you going to play? What instrument is this?"

Just as Zhou Yan was about to explain, Sebastian said loudly, "This is Zhou Yan's best instrument, the Irish whistle. Today is our last day of filming in Dartmouth. Of course we need a little music to remember this." Good days.”

After saying that, Sebastian took the lead in applauding, and the others naturally followed suit.

Seeing that it was hard to refuse such hospitality, Zhou Yan thought of playing a song or two to satisfy everyone, but as soon as he raised his whistle, Sebastian pulled him up again and walked towards the bow of the ship.

"You brag here." As he said, he called to the photographer at the scene, "Fikel, come on, record this scene, maybe it will be included in the documentary later."

In fact, there was no need for Sebastian to remind him, Fickell had already turned on the recording mode.

Originally, there were only about 20 people eating outside the cabin. When the people inside heard the noise, they all ran over.

Soon, most of the crew gathered on the deck waiting for Zhou Yan's performance.

Feeling the cool sea breeze, Zhou Yan smiled. Today he was also holding a cruise ship concert, although there were not many audiences.

Zhou Yan did not play any tricks, so he picked two old songs to play with Irish whistle, one was "Missing through Time and Space", and the other was "Streets Where the Wind Lives".

These two songs are more suitable to be played with Irish whistle, and Zhou Yan can completely control them.

On the ship, the effect of playing is definitely not as good as indoors, and even how much the audience can hear depends on whether the sea breeze gives face.

However, this environment still has a plus point. Zhou Yan stood alone at the bow, facing the audience on the deck sideways, and the music mixed with the sound of the waves drifted into the ears of the audience, which was also interesting.

The key is that they were too bored and depressed during this period of time. This unique music performance was a rare moment of relaxation, so everyone was very happy to listen to it.

The occasional calls of seagulls seemed to be responding to Zhou Yan's performance, and the photographer Philok also took some shots of the seagulls very cleverly.

Christie leaned against the iron ladder and looked at Zhou Yan who was playing at the bow with a dazed look.

For some reason, when Y just played the first song, she felt a little dizzy, as if she was seasick.

In fact, she was not seasick, and this had never happened before.

Could it be that this was the power of music?

Or did she only have such a reaction when Y played?

She felt that her mind was getting more and more unable to concentrate, and the bow seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her, but strangely, Y, who was standing at the bow, was getting closer and closer to her.

"Christie?"

Christie heard someone calling her, but she couldn't see anyone next to her.

Strange, where are the people on the deck?

Why are she and Y the only ones left?

This voice... seems to be James, but where is James?

She turned her head, and then turned her head again, but she couldn't see anyone.

"What's wrong with you?"

James' voice sounded again.

And this time, Christie saw it.

But what she saw was not James Cameron, but a monster with a green face and fangs and two horns.

The monster was looking at her with red eyes.

Fear instantly filled Christie's body. She wanted to escape, but found that her feet seemed to be stuck on the deck and couldn't be pulled up at all.

And the green-faced and fanged monster was getting closer and closer. When the monster was about to touch Christie, she didn't know where she got the courage from, and punched the monster in the face.

Many voices suddenly rang out at the scene.

At this time, Christie saw Y running over.

"Y, go quickly, there is a monster here!"

Christie wanted to tell Y loudly not to get close, but she couldn't open her mouth at all.

Finally, when Y walked to her side, she could only hug Y tightly to prevent Y from getting close to the monster.

...

When Zhou Yan was hugged by Christie, everyone was stunned.

What on earth is going on?

He was playing "The Street Where the Wind Lives" just now, and suddenly heard some noise here. He turned around and saw Christie punching James Cameron in the face.

The people around were frightened and hurried to help James Cameron.

Zhou Yan also hurriedly stopped playing and ran over.

He wanted to see how James Cameron was doing, but was hugged tightly by Christie.

Christie didn't say anything after hugging him, and kept putting her head into his arms.

Just when Zhou Yan was about to pull Christie away, Lori, who was originally helping James Cameron, suddenly vomited with a wow.

This guy ate a lot at noon, and now all of it was vomited out, most of it on the deck, and a small part of it was caught by James Cameron's clothes.

Seeing this scene, even though Zhou Yan's brain was working at high speed, he didn't understand what was going on for a while.

Could it be that his music was too powerful and had the effect of hallucination and vomiting?

But soon, when several people at the scene began to vomit, Zhou Yan guessed a possibility that everyone was poisoned.

So many people were poisoned, was he poisoned?

Although Zhou Yan did not react, he was also worried that he might be slow to react.

He hurriedly shouted, "Xie Liya, Xie Liya."

Xie Liya was the doctor of the crew, so Zhou Yan called her first.

But Xie Liya had already been poisoned, lying on the ground in pain, her mind was a mess, and she couldn't respond to Zhou Yan at all.

Without calling Xie Liya, Zhou Yan could only call Sebastian, "Old Sebastian, call the hospital quickly."

Sebastian also reacted and ran to make a call.

In just a few minutes, more than half of the crew fell down, and people fell down from time to time.

Even Zhou Yan was frightened by the scene.

James Cameron was also poisoned, one of his eyes was bloodshot, and the other eye was like glue, but he didn't vomit.

Everyone had different symptoms. Most people seemed to be drunk. They either vomited on the ground or walked crookedly and completely lost their sense of direction. Some people rolled on the ground.

When Sebastian came back after the call, the crew had almost collapsed.

There were more than 80 people in the crew, but there were probably less than 10 people who were still sober. They couldn't take care of so many people who were infected. Moreover, they didn't know whether they were also infected, but just reacted a little slower.

Zhou Yan was hugged tightly by Christie. This woman didn't know where she got such great strength. Zhou Yan couldn't pry her hands apart no matter how hard he tried.

Fortunately, she didn't vomit, otherwise Zhou Yan would suffer the same fate as James Cameron.

Zhou Yan pulled Christie's arm a few times, and gave up when he found that he couldn't pull it. He turned around and wanted to discuss with Sebastian, but he saw that this guy had picked up Fickel's camera and filmed the infected people.

But Zhou Yan could understand Sebastian's approach. Such a big incident happened to the crew, and they had no way to solve it. They could only try to preserve the images of the scene for later verification. Maybe these images would be useful for the doctor's diagnosis. (End of this chapter)
