Chapter 57 You Taught Me a Lesson (10,000 Words Today, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)

Yu Ran had some understanding of the composition department. She had listened to or played many of the students' works.

The music that students usually write is certainly not popular music, but it is different from the classical music that Yu Ran and others usually play. It is more of avant-garde serious music that sounds a bit strange.

Yu Ran wanted to ask Zhou Yan if he had any other works like "Kite" and if he could show her the score, but they had only known each other for two days. She felt that it was too abrupt, so she didn't ask in the end.

When the two arrived at the school gate, Jia Guoping was already there. The three of them took the bus to Wangfujing Yanjing Roast Duck Restaurant. This is the good thing about studying at the Central Conservatory of Music. The school is within the second ring road and it is convenient to go anywhere.

After dinner, Jia Guoping suggested walking back to school to digest the food, and Zhou Yan and Yu Ran both nodded in agreement.

Although the bus from the Central Conservatory of Music to Wangfujing is very fast, it is still ten miles away, and it takes one or two hours to walk there, but they didn't think it was a big deal.

Nowadays, even in the capital, Yanjing, the pace of life is slow, and walking for an hour or two to digest the food seems quite reasonable.

Moreover, the section from Wangfujing to the Central Conservatory of Music just passes by the Forbidden City, and the night view is also quite good.

…

The next afternoon, Zhou Yan came to the Yanjing Film Studio again with his things.

Zhou Yan originally planned to come in the morning, and he called Wang Junzheng in advance, and Wang Junzheng told him to come in the afternoon.

When Zhou Yan arrived at the entrance of the director's department, he found that the office was more lively today than last time. There were seven or eight people in it, and they were all gathered together. They were basically young people in their thirties and forties. Only the one standing in the middle was older, probably in his sixties.

Chen Kaige and Wang Junzheng were also there, and Zhou Yan didn't know the others.

At this moment, the older man in the middle said, "Don't be afraid. Be bold and daring. If there is any problem, I will cover you. For these projects this year, we..."

People were talking about business, and Zhou Yan didn't want to interrupt them, so he waited outside the door.

He listened outside for a while and roughly understood that the person in the middle should be Chen Zhigu, the director of Yanjing Film Studio. He was now giving encouragement to the directors in the director department.

Their studio is still very busy this year. There are many projects to be launched. The work is tight and the tasks are heavy.

The style of this director is quite straightforward. After only five or six minutes, the encouragement was finished.

After saying what he should say, Chen Zhigu said "disband" and then walked out of the director department.

After going out, he saw Zhou Yan standing at the door. He took a closer look. He was about to leave, but he saw Zhou Yan smiled at him, so he stopped and asked, "Are you Zhou Yan?"

Zhou Yan was thinking that since they had made eye contact, it would be bad not to give a smile, but he didn't expect the other party to stop.

The old man has a very special temperament, a bit majestic.

Zhou Yan nodded and replied, "Well, hello, I'm Zhou Yan."

Chen Zhigu looked at Zhou Yan's bag again, "Did you record the soundtrack?"

"I recorded a little demo and brought it to Director Wang to listen to."

"Come in." Chen Zhigu turned and went into the director's office again, "Kaige, is the tape recorder in your office working?"

Chen Kaige had just sat down at his seat, but he didn't expect Chen Zhigu to come back and ask if the tape recorder could be used. He was a little confused, "It should be working, I used it yesterday afternoon."

Another person sitting next to him said, "It can be used, I used it just now."

"That's good." Chen Zhigu nodded, and said to Wang Junzheng, "Xiao Wang, Zhou Yan is here."

Wang Junzheng was stunned for a moment, and then saw Zhou Yan walking into the door behind Chen Zhigu, she couldn't help but frowned.

Zhou Yan called her in the morning and she asked him to come in the afternoon. The reason why she asked him to come in the afternoon was because the factory director Chen Zhigu was not in the factory in the morning and would come back in the afternoon.

But what Wang Junzheng did not expect was that Zhou Yan came in the afternoon and ran into Chen Zhigu directly.

Her original plan was to meet Zhou Yan first, see how Zhou Yan was prepared, discuss with Zhou Yan, and then go to see the factory director, so that she would have a clear mind.

Now it was too sudden and caught her off guard.

Is Zhou Yan ready?

She wanted to say something, but she saw that Chen Zhigu had asked Zhou Yan to take the tape.

After getting the tape, Chen Zhigu put the tape directly into the tape recorder.

This sudden situation, except for Wang Junzheng and the others, everyone else was confused, and they all looked at this side with great curiosity.

What is Director Chen going to do, and who is the young man next to him?

Zhou Yan took this opportunity to say hello to Chen Kaige and Wang Junzheng.

The tape was spinning in the recorder for a while, and Zhou Yan's voice suddenly sounded.

"No. 4, "After Sending the Letter"."

Immediately afterwards, there was a piano piece that sounded a little disappointed.

The piece was very short, only about twenty seconds.

After it ended, the tape was spinning in the recorder for a while, and Zhou Yan's voice sounded again.

"No. 5, "Recorder"."

Similarly, there was a piano piece following, which made people feel a little warm and short, less than thirty seconds.

...

Chen Zhigu and Wang Junzheng had been listening very seriously, and the others stopped caring after listening to two pieces.

These pieces didn't seem to be anything special, just ordinary soundtracks.

After playing side B, Chen Zhigu looked at Zhou Yan and continued to turn to side A without saying a word.

Chen Zhigu is an arbitrary person, but not impatient. In this situation, he will not rush to a conclusion.

In fact, these songs are very well written. Chen Zhigu can tell Zhou Yan's musical skills, but these songs are nothing special. Because they are all short paragraphs, they can't hear anything by themselves, and they can't impress people. Feel.

If it were just a clip like this, it might not be enough to convince Chen Zhigu to use a student as the soundtrack director for the film.

The idling in front of front A was a bit long. About twenty seconds passed before Zhou Yan's voice was heard.

"Serial number, "Kite"."

After the sound ended, the tape idled for nearly ten seconds before the music started to sound.

At first, this section seems to be no different from the ones on side B. They are all short piano solo passages.

Just when Chen Zhigu thought that this song "Kite" was the same as the short passages on side B, the sound of a violin suddenly appeared.

After the sound of the violin came in, the feeling of this piece suddenly changed.

Chen Zhigu narrowed his eyes unconsciously, and everyone else in the office also looked this way.

This is the first time so far that the sound of an instrument other than piano has appeared in the radio. This is already quite eye-catching, and the melody after the violin is played is very catchy and can be listened to at once.

But the surprise is yet to come. The melody slowly advances with the violin. When the mood slowly reaches a small high point, the violin sound slowly weakens and finally stops.

This is followed by a twenty-second piano interlude.

After the interlude, the sound of another instrument came in...it was the cello!

The cello has a rich and rich sound, which has an advantage in narrative. When the cello comes out, everyone present feels that the emotion of the tune is being pushed by a pair of big hands to a higher point, which is more surging than when the violin entered just now.

Chen Zhigu looked at Zhou Yan again. This time, his eyes looked a little different.

Although he had only listened to a short section of the song so far, and he didn’t know how long it would last, the richness of the song exceeded his imagination. He tried to think of the story of "Reply from Heaven" in his mind, and then discovered that this This song is indeed very suitable for "Heaven Replies". This sad mood of suddenly losing support is just like the emptiness of the grandson after losing his grandfather in the movie.

In conjunction with the script and story, he also had a lot of emotions.

When he saw the script revised by Wang Junzheng before, he was moved by the family love in the story. He would also think of his little grandson. Although the relationship between him and his grandson was different from that in the script, the feelings were similar.

On the other side, Wang Junzheng could no longer stand properly. She lowered her head and put her hands on the table, as if her legs had given out.

Wang Junzheng's adoptive father, like the grandfather in the movie, was also a postal and telecommunications employee, so during the adaptation process of the script, Wang Junzheng poured a lot of affection for his adoptive father.

Many details of the relationship between grandfather and grandson also come from Wang Junzheng's own memory.

It can even be said that she made this movie just to dedicate it to her adoptive father.

Wang Junzheng is a very sensitive person who sheds tears easily. When she was revising the script of "Reply from Heaven", she cried while revising it. Tears stains can be seen on many scripts.

When she heard Zhou Yan's song, those past memories came out like a tide again, impacting her heart and her tear ducts.

When the second verse of the song played, Wang Junzheng couldn't bear it anymore. A teardrop burst out of his eyes and fell on the table. Wang Junzheng didn't dare to wipe it, so he could only sit down and lower his head to cover up his gaffe.

At this time, no one in the office paid attention to Wang Junzheng, everyone's attention was on this piece of music.

What song is this?

New song?

What does this young man have to do with this song?

Why does Director Chen play this song?

Everyone is guessing.

When Chen Kaige heard this piece of music, he also raised his eyebrows.

This piece of music is good and easy to resonate with. He looked at Zhou Yan and thought that Zhou Yan was Zhao Jiping's assistant. He also had a guess in his mind. Could it be that Zhao Jiping was hired as the soundtrack director for "Reply from Heaven" and this piece was written by Zhao Jiping. of?

But it's a little different. This piece of music is not the same as Zhao Jiping's style.

…

When the song ends, five or six minutes have passed.

While the tape was idling, one hand directly pressed the pause button.

Chen Zhigu ejected the tape, then showed a smile to Zhou Yan, "Zhou Yan, come to my office, Xiao Wang, you can come too."

Wang Junzheng secretly wiped his tears and nodded, "Okay."

Although she tried hard to control it, everyone could tell that her voice was hoarse, as if she had cried.

Then Wang Junzheng took Zhou Yan, and they followed Chen Zhigu to his office.

As soon as he arrived at the factory director's office, Wang Junzheng said with firm eyes, "Director, if you don't agree to let Zhou Yan serve as the soundtrack director of "Reply from Heaven," then I won't make this movie."

Chen Zhigu glanced at Wang Junzheng and suddenly smiled, "Do you think I will still reject you now?"

Wang Junzheng showed a surprised expression, "Director, do you agree?"

"I agree." Chen Zhigu nodded, and looked at Zhou Yan again, with a face full of emotion, "It is true that heroes emerge young, Zhou Yan, you have taught me a real lesson today."

Zhou Yan did not know Chen Zhigu's attitude before, but after hearing what Wang Junzheng said just now, he could probably guess that Chen Zhigu must have opposed his role in "Heaven's Letter".

Therefore, Zhou Yan also felt a little grateful to Wang Junzheng in his heart. It seems that Wang Junzheng helped him in this matter.

"Director, you are joking."

"You are modest. You have such talent. No wonder Director Wang insisted on giving you a chance to show it. The soundtrack of "Heaven's Letter" will be left to you later."

Chen Zhigu's arbitrariness is because he believes in his own judgment. When his judgment changes, his arbitrariness will change. He now believes that Zhou Yan is the best candidate for "Heaven's Letter".

Of course, if he encounters this situation again in the future, Chen Zhigu will behave as before.

Because he knew that Zhou Yan's situation was quite special, not every student could perform like Zhou Yan, even students from the Central Conservatory of Music.

Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Director. I will take the soundtrack work of "Heaven's Letter" seriously."

"Thank you very much." Chen Zhigu smiled and asked Zhao Jiping again, "How is Mr. Zhao doing recently? I haven't seen him for a while."

"Everything is fine recently. I'm almost busy with the last project."

Zhou Yan didn't say what the last project was, but Chen Zhigu knew it was "Raise the Red Lantern". Then the two chatted briefly for a few more sentences. Chen Zhigu didn't have much to say, so Zhou Yan and Wang Junzheng said goodbye.

...

After leaving Chen Zhigu's office, Wang Junzheng smiled and said, "Zhou Yan, your performance today really surprised me. That song "Kite" is really suitable for this movie."

"I was also inspired after reading the script." Zhou Yan said with a smile.

"I also want to say something about what Director Chen said just now. You really taught me a lesson today."

In fact, Wang Junzheng didn't pay much attention to the music directing at the beginning.

She believes that the music is just the icing on the cake for the movie.

But now she thinks that good music can make a huge difference to the movie. Just now when she was listening to "Kite", she actually had a new picture in her mind.

In the original storyboard, the last scene of flying a kite was a sunny day, but just now, listening to the song, the scene of flying a kite appeared in her mind again, and the background was actually a rainy day. The raindrops hit the kite heavily, making the kite sway with difficulty.

Now she is considering whether to change the storyboard.
