He's too impatient!
When ChenJianhao heard Lu Chen say that there was a work that met Zhang Wentian's requirements, he screamed in his heart.
Lu Chen obviously lost his composure in front of this great director and was too eager to show himself.
A professor in the Composition Department of Beijing Conservatory of Music and a professor in the Chinese Department of Peking University, two mentor-level figures working together, were not sure that they could come up with a work that could satisfy Zhang Wentian. Lu Chen actually dared to boast here.
ChenJianhao blushed a little.
ChenJianhao called Lu Chen over today mainly for the sake of the permit. He and Gao Yue are distant relatives, so he calls the other party uncle. Their relationship is not very deep. It's not a big problem to help with the permit.
Zhang Wentian's presence was completely coincidental.
Lu Chen can get familiar with this great director, which is very good for him to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, and even to enter the film and television industry in the future.
But ChenJianhao never dreamed that Lu Chen would be so eager for quick success and instant benefits!
Of course, he thinks that he can understand Lu Chen's mind.
In the pan-entertainment industry, the status and position of an artist are closely related to their profession.
Generally speaking, movie actors have the highest prestige. If they can become a Movie King or Movie Queen with enough gold, they will be a well-deserved big shot in the circle and be respected by everyone.
Although singers may have more popularity than many actors, they are really worse in terms of prestige.
Therefore, after many singers became famous, they desperately drilled into the film and television circle and became the so-called triple-perch star!
Like those new generation of idols, after their debut, they like to shoot TV dramas the most. No matter how melodramatic the plot is, they will also play it with relish. For a supporting role that appears in a few episodes, they can turn the world upside down. It's unknown how much gossip has been created.
Therefore, no newcomer can maintain a normal mentality in front of Zhang Wentian.
If you can get the favor of this great director, even if you show your face in his blockbuster, it's worth hype!
It's just that understanding is one thing, ChenJianhao still feels disappointed.
Gao Yue's favorable impression of Lu Chen also fell from three points to one point in an instant.
Saying that Lu Chen was a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers was just being polite. Saying that he did not know the immensity of heaven and earth was the correct way to put it.
Zhang Wentian was, after all, an experienced man. After the surprise, he quickly looked indifferent, nodded and picked up the teacup.
Actually, he did not think much of it.
He didn't ask about Lu Chen's work and clearly expressed his attitude.
Chen Pu revealed a faint smile and said, "Really? Then why don't you sing it for us old fellows. "
He was the only one who was willing to give Lu Chen a chance, even if his tone was full of ridicule.
Lu Chen knew very well that his words had aroused the disgust of the seniors.
But since he dared to say it, he naturally had the confidence!
After some thought, Lu Chen picked up the sterilized chopsticks on the tea table and took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks from the paper sleeve.
He pinched the tip of the chopsticks with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "This junior will show my incompetence …"
As soon as his voice fell, the chopsticks hit the table at the same time.
He used the chopsticks as a hammer and the table as a drum, and the sonorous sound of the prelude was beaten, accompanied by the rhythm of singing and roaring.
"Pride confronts ten thousand waves,
Hot blood is like the red sun!
Courage is made of iron,
Bones are like fine steel,
Mind is thousands of zhang,
Vision is ten thousand li long,
I will work hard to be strong,
Be a good man!
… … "
Lu Chen had only sung a few words, and the expressions of the two professors and Zhang Wentian changed.
Chen Pu was stunned.
Gao Yue was surprised!
And Director Zhang suddenly opened his eyes wide. He stared at Lu Chen, as if he had found some treasure!
Zhang Wentian is a very stubborn person, stubborn to the extent of paranoia.
He has very strict requirements for his career. Whether it is shooting TV series or movies, he has never been sloppy. If he can do ten percent of the work, he will never only spend ninety percent of his strength to complete it.
In 1991, Zhang Wentian started shooting "Art of the Three Kingdoms", which was not finished until 1994.
The crew of hundreds of people traveled across most of China for three years, collecting countless scenes and setting innumerable scenes. The costumes, props, and buildings involved in the film were all strictly in accordance with historical facts, leading to a Big overrun in the final budget, which made the investors overwrought and almost declared the project unfinished.
But at the end of the shooting, it was broadcasted in the primetime program of Central TV, creating a ratings record of 89.35%. Although at that time, the major satellite TV stations had not yet released a shadow, it was still a miracle.
Shooting a TV series is like this, not to mention shooting a movie. Zhang Wentian's seriousness and persistence often make the investors want to cry but have no tears. After 2000, several movies he made lost money because of this, and gradually became silent.
However, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. In the film and television circle, Zhang Wentian is still a big shot. This time, after ten years of dormancy, he is also full of ambition, and wants to be popular in both word of mouth and box office.
The stubborn side of this great director was once again exposed. When the script has long been completed, and the crew and actors are all in place, he has not started shooting because the theme song has not been chosen, which really makes people speechless.
But Zhang Wentian himself doesn't think so. What he wants is a feeling.
When the feeling is in place, the shooting will naturally be as smooth as moving clouds and flowing water. Otherwise, it will seem like a lack of soul and can't shoot what he really wants.
The theme song is the soul of this movie!
Zhang Wentian personally found four or five songwriters to write the theme song for the movie.
In all fairness, the quality of these works is good, but none of them can satisfy Zhang Wentian.
In desperation, he found two old friends, hoping to gain something.
As a result, what Zhang Wentian didn't expect was that a newcomer in the circle who happened to meet him actually said that his work was suitable, and even dared to sing it on the spot.
At the beginning, Director Zhang really took the idea of watching a joke, thinking that Lu Chen was here to amuse and relieve boredom.
However, he was shocked!
Lu Chen's accompaniment with chopsticks was almost child's play. He lowered his voice and didn't sing loudly, but as soon as he opened his voice, the majestic atmosphere and hot-blooded atmosphere contained in the lyrics and melody hit him in the face, instantly shocking his soul.
Differentfrom Chen Pu and Gao Yue, the two professors were just simply surprised, and didn't say how excited or anything else. Zhang Wentian was really shocked.
What he has been searching for is precisely this feeling, which is exactly the charm contained in this song!
Bang!
The next moment, Zhang Wentian slammed the table and stood up, his eyes wide open: "Stop!"
His slap was very hard. If it weren't for the exquisite workmanship of the tea table in the private room and the weight was extremely heavy, the tea bowls placed on it would have been knocked over.
Lu Chen was startled and immediately stopped roaring.
That's right, this song needs to be "roared" out with breath, otherwise it can't be sung at all.
"No, no …"
Zhang Wentian bowed his head thoughtfully and walked back and forth a few steps, as if trying to find something.
Chen Pu and Gao Yue looked at each other, not knowing what was wrong with the great director.
Lu Chen's work sounded very interesting at the beginning, but it wasn't enough to make him lose his composure like this, right?
Gao Yue asked with a smile, "Young man, did you use the tone of General's Order in this song?"
The professor of Jingyin Composition Department had a little guilty in his heart. Just now, he thought that Lu Chen was trying to impress the public and wanted to be in the limelight. Only now did he know that the latter was really talented.
Lu Chen quickly replied, "Yes, Professor Gao."
Gao Yue asked again, "What's the name of the song?"
"A Man Should Strengthen Himself!"
In Lu Chen's dream world, this song can be called a classic movie theme song. Its influence is so great that it overwhelmed all works of the same type. It was created by a character who can be regarded as a master.
In his memory, the one who likes this song the most is not Xu Bo, nor Mo Ran, but Fang Mingyi!
"A Man Should Strengthen Himself!"
Gao Yue repeated it and praised, "Good name, good song!"
Chen Pu also nodded: "The lyrics are better."
At first glance, the lyrics of this song sound very rough, full of the atmosphere of Jianghu. However, with the accompaniment of the melody of the tune, it has been greatly sublimated, making people's blood boil and full of chivalry.
"It's all good!"
At this time, Zhang Wentian finally came back to his senses. He said loudly, "The only bad thing is the accompaniment. This song should be played with a big drum to have the real flavor!"
The great director stared at Lu Chen with eager eyes: "You sing it again, sing it completely, and accompany it with a drum!"
Hitting it with chopsticks is simply an insult to this work!
"Uh …"
Lu Chen was powerless to complain. This is a quiet and elegant teahouse. Where can there be a big drum instrument?
But he really underestimated this teahouse called "Yuming Tea Garden". ChenJianhao called the waiter and said the request to borrow the drum. The latter did not show the slightest surprise or embarrassment, and quickly took the order and left.
After instructing the waiter, ChenJianhao looked at Lu Chen with a very strange look in his eyes – you hid it deep enough!
As the saying goes, if you don't make a sound, you will amaze the world with a single brilliant feat. This is probably the case!
Lu Chen noticed ChenJianhao's gaze and could only smile bitterly.
He didn't expect to play so big. Just now, it was entirely because he had heard the movie script described by Zhang Wentian. The song "A Man Should Strengthen Himself" appeared in his memory, and he didn't think too much about it.
This song is very suitable for the plot, and Director Zhang Wentian's masterpiece will not disgrace the classic!
Unexpectedly, Zhang Wentian's reaction was so intense.
Of course, at this point, LuChen is also calm. He doesn't expect to get a role in Zhang Wentian's movie with a song. As long as he establishes a friendly cooperative relationship with this great director, it will already be a great benefit. (TN: That's right.)
Moreover, composing a movie theme song can greatly enhance the pretentiousness!
The pretentiousness in the circle represents the status and value. The higher Lu Chen's pretentiousness is, the more valuable his works will be.
Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he will never miss it.
After about 10 minutes, two waiters came to the private room with a drum.
Along with them was a beautiful woman in a Han costume.
