1990: Starting From Baojia Street

Chapter 473 The Soundtrack Is so Powerful?

The lights shone on one side of the stage, and several people pushed out a piano.

When they saw the piano, cheers broke out at the scene.

Shang Wenya and Li Yuanyuan looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes. They knew that they would have another treat tonight.

They just didn't know if Zhou Yan played it himself.

Their doubts didn't last too long, and soon Zhou Yan walked onto the stage.

When they went out today, Joey Wong dressed Zhou Yan up. He wore a blue casual suit with a high-necked cyan sweater inside. He looked very upright and relaxed.

When Zhou Yan appeared, the cheers at the scene were louder than before.

Xu Feng said he wanted to do the opening show, and they also thought about asking the members of the orchestra to come and play, but in the end they decided to let Zhou Yan play a piano.

Although Zhou Yan's piano level was not as good as Zhang Zuoquan and others, the people who came to the scene today were not here to listen to music. Of course, they wanted to see Zhou Yan's performance more.

After going on stage, Zhou Yan sat on the piano stool first, then pulled the microphone in front of him and said with a smile, "Good evening, everyone."

"Good evening." The audience responded enthusiastically.

"Before the ceremony officially begins, I will play a suite for everyone. It is composed of the soundtrack tracks in "Time Traveler", but what you will hear next will basically not appear in the movie."

Zhou Yan's words made many people in the audience confused.

Since it is the soundtrack in the movie, why will it not appear in the movie? Isn't this a contradiction?

Of course, some people understand, such as Li Yuanyuan.

"It seems that Teacher Zhou has written a lot of complete tracks this time, and the soundtrack will be available later."

"I heard that there are more than a dozen complete songs."

"I don't know when the soundtrack will be released."

"It seems that instead of releasing the soundtrack, it may be an album directly."

"Is that so?"

...

Zhou Yan did not explain anything to the audience. After pulling away the microphone, he began to play.

He composed this suite temporarily. It starts with the prelude of "All of Me", and in the middle, it spreads excerpts from "A Thousand Years", "Bleeding Love", and "Stay Here Forever", and ends with the ending of "How Long Will I Love You".

Because it only lasts a few minutes and integrates so many songs, it is difficult to make people feel amazing.

Zhou Yan played this song not to make the audience like it much. This song is more like an introduction before watching a movie.

The audience did not think the song was amazing, but they were very respectful. Many people clapped their hands red.

Zhou Yan stood up and bowed to the bottom, then walked off the stage, and today's opening performance was over.

After he went down, the people who pushed the piano up came up again and pushed the piano out, and the ceremony officially began.

The activities of this premiere ceremony were very simple, that is, the main creative staff came on stage to show their faces, the producer, director, and main actors said a few words, there was no interaction with the audience, and there was no interview with reporters.

The main creative staff lined up on the stage, and Xu Feng took the microphone and gave an opening speech.

Han Sanping also said a few words, and when they finished, it was the turn of Jiao Huang, Li Jingfei, and Xie Fang, the veteran actors.

When Han Sanping handed the microphone to Jiao Huang, Jiao Huang pushed it away. After all, in his opinion, he was just a supporting role in this movie, and it didn't matter whether he spoke or not. Even if he spoke, he couldn't be ranked like this.

But in the end, he still couldn't push Han Sanping away and took the microphone.

After getting the microphone, Jiao Huang said with great emotion, "Time Traveler should be the fastest project we have ever participated in. From audition to official shooting, and now to official release, it has only been a few months. In the past, the projects I have been involved in, the audition may not even be completed in the same period of time, and the ones with faster progress may have just started shooting."

"Although I haven't seen the finished film yet, I have full confidence in this film, and this confidence comes from the work ability and work attitude of everyone in our crew. Of course, the most important thing is Director Zhou. To be honest, when I first took on this play, I heard that it would be released within this year, and I felt uncomfortable. I thought that young people are impatient. Can filming a movie be rushed? But after the filming started, my thoughts completely changed. Director Zhou is not impatient, but has full confidence. He has absolute control over the shooting..."

Jiao Huang said a lot, although there are exaggerations, but basically they are his true thoughts.

During the filming of Time Traveler, he was indeed impressed by Zhou Yan's powerful efficiency.

They did encounter problems during filming, but every time they encountered a problem, they were able to solve it quickly or have a good alternative plan.

Not only Zhou Yan, but also the efficiency of other crew members amazed Jiao Huang. The cooperation between the various departments was very tacit, and many seemingly difficult things could be easily solved.

In China, Jiao Huang has never seen such a mature crew.

The aesthetics and technical skills of each director are subjective and difficult to evaluate, but in terms of the maturity of the crew, the cooperation of various departments, and the overall operating efficiency, Zhou Yan's crew is absolutely the best of all the crews he has participated in.

After Jiao Huang finished speaking, it was Li Jingfei's turn.

"Teacher Jiao has praised so much, let me talk about the shortcomings of the crew."

As soon as Li Jingfei opened his mouth, the audience was stunned, wondering what was going on with "Zhang Fei". Could it be that he wanted to make trouble in public?

If anyone else said this, everyone would definitely think it was a joke.

But Li Jingfei has played Zhang Fei, and his rugged image is deeply rooted in people's hearts. When he suddenly said this, it really made people groan.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Li Jingfei smiled and continued, "The biggest shortcoming of the crew of "Space Traveler" is that the shooting speed is too fast and the time is too short. Their food is the best food I have ever eaten. I really want to eat for a few more days.”

"When I talk about the food on the set, I think of the time when we were filming "Three Kingdoms". The food on the set at that time was really mediocre. Director Zhou can vouch for this. Because we couldn't eat well, we brothers even went to the cornfield. inside……"

"Ahem!" Zhou Yan hurriedly coughed and told Li Jingfei not to talk about anything else.

A few big men went to the cornfield to steal corn and were caught. This is not a glorious thing.

Li Jingfei smiled at Zhou Yan, "We exchanged cigarettes for corn from fellow villagers."

Hearing what Li Jingfei said, Zhou Yan twitched his lips.

Why exchange cigarettes for fellow villagers' corn? Their eldest brother Sun Yanjun was caught. Zhou Yan went back and rescued Sun Yanjun at the cost of a pack of Hongtashan.

Li Jingfei mentioned "Three Kingdoms" because he also wanted to talk about the fate between him and Zhou Yan.

Then Li Jingfei recalled what happened back then. He was an interesting person and the audience liked what he said.

I can’t talk about stealing corn, but there are still many interesting things from that year that can be told.

Moreover, there were many interesting things during the filming of "Time Traveler". Li Jingfei picked two interesting things and talked about them.

After talking nonsense like this for five or six minutes, he gave the microphone to Xie Fang.

Xie Fang's speech was much shorter, basically a condensed version of Jiao Huang's speech.

After the old comrades finished speaking, Zhou Yan gave the microphone to Li Naiwen and Li Xiaoran.

The two young people were inevitably a little excited when they stood on such a stage. Their speeches were not particularly smooth, and they did not dare to say too much. They thanked each other and ended their speeches.

After the two of them finished speaking, Wang Zuxian got the microphone.

As soon as she got the microphone, the applause was obviously louder.

"Hello everyone, I am Wang Zuxian. Thank you all for coming to the premiere of "Space Traveler" today. I believe that today you will definitely have a worthwhile trip. If you think it is good, Ma Fang will help us promote it more , thank you all.”

Wang Zuxian bent down while holding the microphone, and then said with a smile, "I won't waste your time anymore. Let my husband say a few words to you."

As soon as she said this, many people at the scene started to boo, especially the area where the members of the Piano Boy Band were, which was particularly lively.

Seeing everyone making noises, Joey Wong smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about the husband in the movie."

When she said this, the cheers became even louder.

In fact, everyone didn't think much about it, they all thought Wang Zuxian was joking, but they were just happy to make fun of him.

Zhou Yan took the microphone from Wang Zuxian, patted it gently, and then said with a smile, "Speaking of which, this is the second time Xiaoxian and I have played husband and wife. In "Green Snake", I even shared my first kiss on screen. I gave it to her, and this time I gave it to her for my first wedding.”

There was another burst of laughter from the audience. Zhou Yan's words sounded like he had given Wang Zuxian all the advantages.

After taking Wang Zuxian's words, Zhou Yan paused and continued, "'Love Traveler' is my fourth movie. After filming the third movie 'Spring of the Cowherd Class', I was thinking about my fourth movie. What movie should I make? For a while, I was in a dilemma, especially after "Springtime of the Cowherd" won the Jury Prize at the Berlin Film Festival, and I didn't know what to make next. "

"It seemed that I was carrying more and more things, but the choices in front of me were getting fewer and fewer. Then one day, I was walking on the shore of Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong, and suddenly I realized something. I shouldn't set limits for myself. What should be photographed and what should not be photographed should not be something I need to deliberately consider. I only need to consider what I want to photograph and what I don’t want to photograph..."

Next, Zhou Yan told the audience the origin of the film and the reasons why the filming progress was accelerated.

Finally, he thanked his friends present and ended his speech.

When he finished speaking, Han Sanping picked up the microphone again and announced that the movie would start screening immediately.

The curtain had fallen long ago. When Zhou Yan and the others walked off the stage, the lights in the entire concert hall dimmed. Then the projector was turned on and a picture appeared on the curtain.

At the beginning of the movie, scenes of Yanjing Factory and Tomson Film Company first appeared, and then scenes of Zhou Yan Studio.

Before the movie scene appeared, the sound of piano and Zhou Yan's voice appeared first.

"I've always known that my family members are a bit strange. Let's talk about me first..."

The screen lit up and Zhou Yan appeared.

When she saw Zhou Yan, Shang Wenya's eyes widened because she almost didn't recognize that it was Zhou Yan who was walking over.

Zhou Yan on the screen is wearing an ordinary polo shirt. He looks a bit timid and not as tall and handsome as he looks in person.

And Zhou Yan on the screen is very thin, even thinner than he looks in real life.

Shang Wenya knows that the images in movies will make people relax, so generally speaking, actors look fatter in movies than in real life.

And Zhou Yan looks thinner in the movie than in real life, which means that when filming this movie, Zhou Yan was much thinner than he is now.

It should be that Zhou Yan deliberately became this thin for this role, and he looks basically consistent with the introduction in the voice-over.

The beginning of the movie is basically introducing the family members of the male protagonist.

It can be seen that they are a very happy family.

Although the male protagonist said that their family members are a bit strange, each of them has their own things to do, and their lives are carefree, as if they live in a paradise.

And the environment they live in is also very beautiful. It is a big house with a beautiful lawn at the door and the sea outside. They often go to the beach for afternoon tea.

The first few minutes give people a very relaxed feeling.

"Until that embarrassing dance..."

The scene changes, and the protagonist appears at a dance scene.

At this time, the first song in the movie appeared, which was the song played at the dance. It was an English song.

Hearing this song, Shang Wenya showed a puzzled expression.

She had never heard this song, but even the background song of this kind of dance, could it be that Zhou Yanxin wrote the song?

Shang Wenya turned her head to look at Li Yuanyuan, who made eye contact with her and then shrugged, meaning that she had never heard this song either.

If Li Yuanyuan had never heard this song, then the possibility that this song was original was very high.

Li Yuanyuan was an English major in their school, and she also liked to listen to and sing songs very much. She knew more about European and American pop songs than the average person.

Usually, Li Yuanyuan had heard all the more famous European and American pop songs.

Li Yuanyuan herself was basically able to confirm that this was an original song. It was not that she was very confident in her music library and thought that there were no songs in Europe and America that she had not heard, but the style of this song was not an old song at all.

Not only was it not an old song, it sounded newer than most of the current pop songs.

This song sounded very dynamic, and the lyrics were quite interesting.

The first few lines of the lyrics translated probably mean that you have been out of touch with the world, trapped in endless overtime, racing against time every day, and must be the first, but missed an important ball...

These lyrics sound like they are advising people to enjoy life in time and live for themselves, which is very suitable for the music itself and the dance party of young people.

Li Yuanyuan can be sure that this song will definitely be popular in the European and American music scene, which is also the main reason why she can be sure that this song is original.

If such a song has been released before, she would have heard it.

However, this song appeared very briefly, with only a few lyrics in total, and then the second song appeared at the dance.

It is still an English song, and it is still a song that Li Yuanyuan has never heard before.

The second song is more high-pitched and unrestrained than the first song, whether it is the melody or the lyrics.

What they heard should be the chorus of the song, and the female singer is very powerful.

"Hold your breath, release yourself, show your true self on this stage..."

"Now you know, this is my life..."

The second song was also not long, with only a few lyrics, and then it switched to the third song.

The third song was still an English song, and it was still a female voice.

This time it was a cheerful little sweet song, full of happiness.

"If you don't want to leave, we won't go anywhere."

"We can stay here forever..."

The pleasant melody also fits the atmosphere of the dance very well.

When she heard the third song, Li Yuanyuan was already stunned.

Before coming, Li Yuanyuan believed that she would definitely hear good songs in the movie, and she had enough confidence in Zhou Yan.

But she never thought that Zhou Yan would be so aggressive.

Three original songs appeared in the movie just a few minutes after it started, which was too exaggerated.

Li Yuanyuan even suspected that Zhou Yan had written too many songs and had no place to put them, so he finally couldn't make a movie, so he stuffed them into the movie desperately.

However, these songs are very suitable for the dance, and the key is that they are all very good.

Three songs, each one is very catchy.

Although the three songs appear very briefly, at least the parts that appear are very attractive. (End of this chapter)
