Chapter 939 Space Exploration Theme Song

Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Xiao Wei knew that he shouldn't laugh, but he still couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Xiao continued: "Let's change the topic. I don't want to increase the popularity of someone in disguise."

Xiaowei nodded and asked: "Mr. Zhang, after "Avengers 4", do you have any other work plans, I mean in film and television."]

Zhang Xiaodu: "We will film a TV series called "Fighting Knife" first, and then we will watch the rest."

Xiaowei continued to ask: "Why is such a big director like you suddenly switching to the small screen?"

Zhang Xiao explained: "Firstly, I like the novel "The Fighting Knife" very much, and secondly, it is the collective request of the fans. Although I know that filming "The Fighting Knife" is a business, I don't want to

I let them down, so I had to bite the bullet and shoot."

Xiaowei asked curiously: "Why are you losing money? Is it because the actors' salaries are very high?"

"No, the salary of actors is not high now." Zhang Xiao shook his head and said: "Brother Jie and Brother Jin all said they would make guest appearances for free. The main reason for losing money is the special effects production. We have to build the studio alone.

hundreds of."

"I hope the martial arts scenes in "Fighter" can shock everyone."

Xiaowei asked: "Are we going to use the same standards for shooting movies?"

"Of course not." Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Movies and TV series are two different fields. Movies have much higher picture quality requirements than TV series."

"The reason why "Fighting" costs money is because it requires too many special effects scenes, rather than because it requires similar technology to the movie."

Xiaowei said: "Many TV drama directors said before that..."

Zhang Xiao waved his hand and said: "They are talking about the attitude of striving for excellence, not the shooting technique."

"Everyone knows that TV dramas shot using movie shooting techniques require some technical changes before they can be broadcast on the small screen. The broadcast media of the two are different, and the shooting techniques cannot be the same."

Xiao smiled and said: "I remember you said before that you wanted to shoot a disaster movie, can you tell me more?"

Zhang Xiaodao: "At the beginning of last year, I planned to shoot this disaster film. Who knew that the financial crisis broke out, which caused Disney's funding problems, so I invested in and directed the third part of "Avengers" and

Part Four.”

"Later on, we had to film "Knives Out", so this disaster movie had to be postponed again."

"This film mainly describes the ancient poem about the destruction of the planet fifty years later."

Xiaowei said: "A disaster movie like this would probably cost a lot, right?"

Zhang Xiao shook his head and said: "The cost is definitely not as high as Avengers 4."

···

The two chatted for more than half an hour, and finally Xiaowei said: "Mr. Zhang, as the world's number one filmmaker, do you have anything to say to newcomers to the film industry?"

Zhang Xiao was silent for a moment and said: "Now is the best era for domestic films in China, and it is also the worst era. The reason why it is the best era is because China is about to become the center of global entertainment culture. It is also the worst era.

era, because there will be many competitors in the future, and they will all be excellent.”

"If you want to stand out from so many outstanding filmmakers, you must have abilities that are far superior to others. The old days when you can become a big star just by looking at your face are over."

"So we must seize the time and think of every way to improve our abilities. Only in this way can you get ahead. Otherwise, even if you have a lot of opportunities, you will still be finished if you don't have that ability."

Xiaowei nodded and said: "Okay, thank you Mr. Zhang, that's the end of our talk show today. See you next time."

···

the second week.

"Avengers 4" kept up its efforts and continued to sweep the world, taking in a box office of 3.211 billion U.S. dollars. It has basically stabilized its breakthrough of 10 billion U.S. dollars in half a month.

This movie can be said to be a hit in the global film industry, and all the movies of its time period, without exception, fell into disrepair.

Seeing that "Avengers 4" has achieved such good results, Zhang Xiao flew to New York in person and held a grand celebration banquet with all the crew. The red envelopes alone reached a terrifying US$100 million.

.

After the celebration banquet, Zhang Xiao stayed in New York for another three days to deal with some matters related to Bruce Investment Company, and then returned to China.

"Oh, Ms. Reba, you've been out for half a month, it's really hard work." When he got home and saw Reba, Zhang Xiao immediately laughed and teased.

Reba's face turned red and he said, "Brother-in-law, how can I not work as hard as you?"

Zhang Xiao burst out laughing: "Yo yo yo, what's going on? You're so shy! Have you finished all your publicity work?"

Reba nodded and said, "It's all done. "Ode to Joy" premiered on Sunny TV yesterday and got a ratings of 2%, which is very good."

Zhang Xiao curled his lips and said: "It's only 2%, which is pretty good. You're too unreliable."

Reba rolled his eyes angrily and said, "Brother-in-law, don't look down on us. Let me tell you, if a TV series has a ratings of more than 2%, it is already a hit."

"Your "Fighting Swordsman" may not be able to achieve this result."

Zhang Xiao said: "Okay, then you pretend I didn't say anything."

At this moment, Zhang Xiao's cell phone suddenly rang. When he opened it, he saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I am Luo Lin, the deputy director of Huaguo TV Station!"

"Director Luo, what can I do for you?"

"Our Chinese space exploration vehicle will be launched in two days. We want to make a MV and play it after the success."

"This is a good thing, Director Luo, are you looking for me to shoot a music video?"

"Please shoot a MV, isn't that overkill? We want you to write a theme song about the starry sky."

"Our Chinese musicians, Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers, probably don't need me!"

Luo Lin smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Zhang, we have collected more than thirty songs, but none of them are suitable. There is really no other way, so I asked you to do it."

"We all know that in terms of music creation ability, you are the best in China."

Zhang Xiao said: "Director Luo, please don't put a high hat on me. I will take over this matter and try to send the sample as soon as possible."

"If it's suitable, it's naturally best. If it's not suitable, just say it directly and don't force it."

Luo Lin said happily: "That's great, Mr. Zhang, I believe you will have no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, something happened just after I got back."

Reba just heard the phone call between Zhang Xiao and Director Luo, and asked: "Brother-in-law, can you complete a song with this kind of proposition in one day?"

Zhang Xiao raised his eyebrows and said: "Isn't it just a song? I'm kidding, have you eaten?"

Reba said: "It's already two o'clock in the afternoon. Can you not eat? Brother-in-law, you haven't eaten yet. I'll make you something to eat!"

Zhang Xiao waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I'll go get a bowl of noodles myself and heat up the leftovers."

After lunch, Zhang Xiao came to his personal recording studio.

I spent 50,000,000 yuan in exchange for a very suitable song called "Stars and Sea".

After writing the score, Zhang Xiao took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Bichen.

"Hey, Bichen, are you in the capital?"

Zhang Bichen's voice came over immediately and said: "Here, Brother Xiao, do you have any instructions?"

"There are no instructions. I just wrote a song and I need you to make a demo. If you have time now, it's best to come over as soon as possible."

When Zhang Bichen heard this, he quickly said: "Okay, I'll be there right away."

In just half an hour, she came running in a hurry.

Zhang Xiao first handed the score to her and said, "You should familiarize yourself with it first."

Zhang Bichen looked down for almost five minutes and said, "Xiao, is this a song that Huaguo TV Station is soliciting?"

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "Do you know this?"

Zhang Bichen nodded and said: "I just recorded a song three days ago, but it turned out to be inappropriate. Your song "Stars and Sea" is so great, I think there should be no problem."

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "The TV station has the final say as to whether it will work or not. This afternoon, we will make a demo first and send it over. If it is suitable, we will then officially record the song. If it is not suitable, forget it."

"Okay, no problem." Zhang Bichen nodded.

Before she came over, Zhang Xiao had already figured out the basic melody. Then she only needed to familiarize herself with the lyrics and melody before she could start recording directly.

After all, it was the powerful Yang Jiang who finished the demo of "Sea of ​​Stars" in just three hours.

After Zhang Xiao listened, he greatly appreciated her singing skills.

the next day.

Zhang Xiao sent the demo of "Stars and Sea" to Luo Lin.

After Luo Lin heard this, he was very impressed. After getting approval from the station director, he called Zhang Xiao directly.

"Mr. Zhang, you are so awesome. You can write a classic divine song like "Sea of ​​Stars" in just one night. I am really convinced."

"Director Luo received the award. So, Zhang Bichen's song was successfully selected?"

"Yes, please ask her to come to the TV station tomorrow and we will re-record it for him."

"no problem."
