Lu Chen had never thought that there would be such a private teahouse hidden in the shade of trees in the bustling downtown area near the university town.
He couldn't find the location even with the GPS of his new car. In the end, he called ChenJianhao and finally found the right place with the latter's guidance, so he spent a lot of time on the road.
This teahouse was located in the depths of a secluded alley. It was a large courtyard house with a long history.
Behind the courtyard house was the lakeside park, surrounded by towering trees and lush greenery. The old walls were covered with green vines and dotted with wildflowers. It was a quiet and elegant scene.
Such a courtyard house was estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of yuan in the capital, but it was actually used to open a teahouse.
The building inside the teahouse had obviously been renovated and was decorated in an antique style.
Entering the teahouse, the sound of the stringed instrument could wash away people's worries.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Lu Chen came to a private room.
There were already four guests in the private room, and ChenJianhao was one of them. The other three were old men in their sixties or seventies. They were wearing long gowns and cloth shoes and were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea and chatting.
Compared with these elegant old men, ChenJianhao was undoubtedly a junior, so he was very respectful.
Seeing Lu Chen come in, he immediately got up and said, "Xiao Lu is here. Let me introduce you to some seniors."
The three old men turned their heads and looked at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen was stunned.
Because he knew one of the old men, the one he often met when he was exercising in the riverside park!
"Brother Kenhao …"
Lu Chen first greeted ChenJianhao, then said with a smile, "Hello, old man, long time no see."
The old man was also surprised to see Lu Chen, then snorted and said, "What a coincidence."
He seemed to still be holding a grudge against Lu Chen.
ChenJianhao was surprised. "Xiao Lu, do you know Professor Chen?"
This old man is actually a professor?
Lu Chen nodded: "I know him, but I didn't know the old man's name before."
Relieved, ChenJianhao smiled. "Then, I'll give you an official introduction!"
This old man, who Lu Chen had met many times in the past, was Chen Pu, a retired Peking University Chinese Literature Professor.
Sitting on the left of Professor Zhang was an old man in a green shirt, Gao Yue. He was a professor at the Beijing Conservatory of Music's Composition Department and was about to retire.
And the old man with a big white beard on the right is actually the famous director Zhang Wentian!
Lu Chen was very unfamiliar with the two professors, Chen Pu and Gao Yue. He had never heard of their names before.
But the name of director Zhang Wentian is like thunder in the ears. He once directed two big dramas, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" in the 1990s, which created a record of TV ratings at that time.
He has also directed many costume blockbusters. He is good at historical and military theme films and has won many awards. He is a highly respected senior in the industry, but in recent years, he has been quiet, and there have been no new works.
Many young people may not know much about Zhang Wentian, but Lu Chen is definitely not one of them.
He has watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" more than once at home.
So now seeing Zhang Wentian, he really feels like seeing his idol!
Of course, whether it is to Zhang Wentian, Chen Pu or Gao Yue, Lu Chen is very respectful and polite.
The two seniors still have a good impression of Lu Chen's respectful attitude.
Chen Pu said to Zhang Wentian, "This kid is the one I took a picture of that day and showed you, the one who blindly practiced boxing."
Zhang Wentian suddenly said, "I remember, this young man practices Wing Chun, but the routine is a bit wrong."
He smiled at Lu Chen and said, "Few young people nowadays like Chinese martial arts. They all practice boxing and Taekwondo introduced from abroad. If you like to learn martial arts, I can introduce you to a master."
Boxing and Taekwondo are both Olympic events. They are very competitive, so they have a great influence around the world.
In particular, Taekwondo is very popular for a time. Many parents in China send their children to learn it to strengthen their body and sharpen their will, leading to the blossoming of Taekwondo Dojo in various cities.
In contrast, traditional Chinese martial arts routines are serious, biased towards ornamental and artistic, and not many people learn it.
Sanda, which is derived from martial arts, focuses on competition and actual combat, but the moves are too fierce and fierce. Like freestyle and Muay Thai, it is not popular with ordinary people.
The boxing technique that Lu Chen practices comes from Mo Ran's memory. The development of inheritance is different from that of this world, and it is not practiced blindly.
But Zhang Wentian is completely kind, so he thanked him, "Thank you, Director Zhang."
ChenJianhao didn't know that Lu Chen also knows martial arts, and he was a little surprised when he heard it.
But he didn't forget the business. He interjected to Gao Yue and said, "Uncle Gao, Xiao Lu wants to go to Jingyin to attend a lecture. Please help him."
Gao Yue said with a smile, "Since Jianhao has spoken, it's not good for me, as an uncle, not to agree."
He took out a business card and a pen, and quickly wrote a few lines of small words and signature in the blank space on the back of the business card.
After writing, Gao Yue handed the business card to Lu Chen and said, "Take it and contact Director Lu in the Academic Affairs Office. Director Lu's phone number is on it. He will handle it for you."
Lu Chen didn't expect things to be solved so easily. He quickly said, "Thank you, Professor Gao!"
The more he learned about music, the more he felt his own shortcomings.
Therefore, Lu Chen has long had the idea of studying in a higher education institution. Of course, he doesn't have the qualifications to apply for the examination. Attending classes has become the best choice, and his actions and time are very free.
It's just that it's not so easy to get a pass from key universities like Jingyin and Beiyin, so Lu Chen asked ChenJianhao for help and asked if anyone he knew could get this pass.
As a result, ChenJianhao introduced him to two professors and a director.
This favor was really not small!
Gao Yue smiled gently: "You don't have to be so polite. You are very talented in composition and write songs well."
As a professor of the Composition Department of Jingyin, Gao Yue has no prejudice against pop music.
When ChenJianhao mentioned this to him before, he asked about Lu Chen's origin and listened to several of Lu Chen's works, and appreciated the latter's talent.
Such a young man was not confused by the vanity of the entertainment industry, and still wanted to learn to enrich himself, which was worth encouraging!
Otherwise, Gao Yue may not be willing to help so readily.
After all, he has to bear the responsibility for handling a pass for Lu Chen.
Zhang Wentian was surprised: "Does Xiao Lu make music?"
Gao Yue replied, "Yes, have you heard of In The Spring? This song was written by him. "
"In The Spring?"
Zhang Wentian was even more surprised: "Was this song written by Xiao Lu?"
Although the older director doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, nor does he like current pop music, he has really heard the song "In The Spring" more than once.
Because his youngest son likes this song very much and often plays and sings it by himself at home with his guitar in his arms!
Zhang Wentian didn't expect that this extremely vicissitudes of work was actually created by the young man in front of him.
Gao Yue said with a smile, "I didn't expect it either, but this work was indeed written by Xiao Lu."
Zhang Wentian sighed: "It's true that the waves ahead push the waves behind, and the new generation surpasses the old!"
Although he was surprised, he didn't question Lu Chen's idea at all, because there was no need for that at all.
Chen Pu suddenly said, "Old Zhang, aren't you having a headache about the theme song of the movie? Let him give you some advice! "
Zhang Wentian was caught off guard: "Uh …"
Gao Yue agreed: "Yes, brainstorming. We're all old. We should listen to the voices of young people more."
Zhang Wentian couldn't help laughing: "It's as if everyone has become an antique. Well, let's listen to it!"
He said to Lu Chen, "Xiao Lu, here's the thing …"
At first, Lu Chen was a little puzzled, but he soon understood.
It turned out that Zhang Wentian was recently preparing to make a big movie, which was about the tragic story of the Opium War in the late Qing Dynasty, when the Qing court was corrupt and the foreign powers invaded, and the righteous people rose up to resist, which awakened the national spirit.
The screenplay has been written, and it is currently in the stage of preparation for filming. However, Zhang Wentian encountered a problem in the selection of the theme song of the movie. He was not satisfied with the choice of more than a dozen songs, which did not meet his requirements.
Most directors add the soundtrack in the later stage after the shooting. Zhang Wentian's habits are different. He attaches great importance to the soundtrack. In the early stage, he must determine the style and tone of the soundtrack, which also includes the theme song.
In the opinion of this great director, the theme song of a movie is the best representative of the connotation and idea of the movie. A good theme song can greatly enhance the charm of the movie, which is as important as the script!
The problem is that his requirements are very high, and as a result, the theme song has been delayed.
Although it is said that finding songs and shooting can be carried out at the same time, Zhang Wentian has always been thinking about it.
Today, he had tea with his two old friends, Chen Pu and Gao Yue, and asked them to help give some advice.
The two professors, one writing lyrics and the other composing music, have cooperated on works before, and maybe they can solve the problem.
Chen Pu and Gao Yue are happy to help, but neither of them is very sure that they can write a work that meets Zhang Wentian's mind. What they talked about just now was the theme song.
ChenJianhao happened to be here at the right time. Because of his relationship with Gao Yue, he occupied a place here.
As for Lu Chen, who has just come over, he was even more lucky!
Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for him to see Zhang Wentian. How can he sit down and communicate with the latter?
Zhang Wentian said that, but it was more to pour out the depression in his heart. He didn't expect Lu Chen to provide any useful advice at all.
What he didn't expect was that Lu Chen pondered for a moment after listening and said, "Director Zhang, I have a work that may meet your requirements."
What?
Zhang Wentian wondered if he had heard wrong.
Not only him, but Chen Pu and Gao Yue also showed a look of surprise.
