The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 467 Wonderful soundtrack

After entering 2010, the mainland film market has been in turmoil, which is very exciting.

"Avatar" is like a dream, giving everyone in the film and television industry the expectation.

Li Shengyao is probably the most sober and calm person in the entire film and television industry.

He has received hundreds of film projects during this period, except for Xu Zheng's "People on the Journey", all of them were rejected.

He was even the same as before, spending most of his time at the company, and he didn't go to some premiere invitations.

He has not forgotten his essential work, that is, the post-production of "Sicario".

With regard to the night vision lens and thermal imaging images in the movie, after almost 20 days of busy work, the Fenghua Special Effects Department has completed this task excellently.

After another ten days, Chen Guangrong completed the soundtrack of "Sicario".

Li Shengyao got the news and immediately took people to listen to Chen Guangrong's soundtrack. He was very satisfied. He felt that Chen Guangrong's soundtrack gave him the feeling he had imagined.

He quickly completed the fine cut, produced a complete version of "Sicario", and then submitted it for review.

This morning, Fenghua, China Film Group, and some high-level executives from the theaters came to Fenghua's headquarters. They will participate in the screening of "Sicario".

In addition to the high-level executives of the major theaters, there are two more special people.

These two people are the famous soundtrack masters Zhao Jiping and Zhao Lin.

Zhao Jiping is 64 years old this year. He looks thin, and it can be seen that he is an elegant person. Despite his age, he is still a handsome old man.

Relatively speaking, Zhao Lin's appearance is much ordinary. Although he is Zhao Jiping's son, he looks a bit strong. He does not look like an artist, but more like someone doing hard work.

However, although Zhao Lin's appearance is ordinary, he has strength.

It's not that he is a father and son. Although Zhao Lin is not as good as his father, he has already composed scores for many film and television dramas, and he is quite well-known in the film and television circle.

He is only 35 years old this year. Despite his father's help, he is still proud of such achievements.

This time I attended the screening of "Sicario" just to listen to Chen Guangrong's soundtrack.

Chen Guangrong is 42 years old this year, seven years older than Zhao Lin, and he is still very young in the soundtrack circle.

But Chen Guangrong praised Zheng Yijian and even scored classic movies such as "Infernal Affairs".

This is an achievement that Zhao Lin did not have.

People often tell Zhao Lin that they might have new feelings if they listen to Chen Guangrong's music.

Zhao Lin was a little unconvinced. This time, he just had the opportunity, so he planned to come and have a look.

The senior executives of the theater chain are more businessmen. They get together and chat about everything. It is very lively. It is really noisier than the vegetable market at [-] o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Lin and Zhao Jiping couldn't help but frown.

Fortunately, not long after, the movie officially started.

The story of "Sicario" is very ordinary. The highlight is the professional gunfight scenes, wonderful editing, and just the right soundtrack.

Zhao Lin soon heard Chen Guangrong's soundtrack, closed his eyes, and then became intoxicated.

Compared with "October Besieged City" and "You Long Xi Feng", he feels that the soundtrack this time is more brilliant. It seems that he can imagine a wonderful and tense story when he hears these soundtracks.

After a hundred minutes, the movie ends.

There was warm applause at the screening, and the high-level executives of the theater were very excited and excited. They saw the oily banknotes exuding one after another.

Zhao Lin and Zhao Jiping had already closed their eyes, recalling the soundtrack of this movie.

When the theater executives left their seats one after another and went to the meeting room to discuss the filming of "Sicario", the viewing hall suddenly became much quieter. Only then did Zhao Lin and Zhao Jiping come to their senses, and then hurriedly left the viewing hall.

The father and son sat down again outside, and Zhao Jiping asked first, "How do you feel?" "Dad, I think it's very good. The overall feeling is very cool, and it's very suitable for police movies."

Zhao Jiping nodded, "If you have a chance, you can talk to Chen Guangrong. This young man is indeed capable. The soundtrack of "Sicario Sicario" has four points."

"The first thing is that it sounds good enough. This is very basic and important. A good soundtrack will not distract the audience."

"The second is to fit the theme. This is very rare. I heard that Li Shengyao gave Chen Guangrong a month's time. I didn't expect him to give such an answer."

Zhao Lin couldn't help but said, "There are a lot of gangster movies on Hong Kong Island, so he might have been inspired."

"That may be true."

Zhao Jiping smiled, and continued: "The third is that the soundtrack has stories and emotions."

Some soundtracks can not only fit the theme of the movie, but also have their own vitality. Even if there is no movie as an annotation, the soundtrack is still very exciting, and it is a story that can be deeply experienced.

Zhao Lin did not refute this time, but nodded in admiration.

"The last point is also the point I admire Chen Guangrong the most. Do you know what it is?"

Zhao Lin paused after hearing this, then shook his head.

The father and son often discussed domestic and foreign soundtrack masters, and Zhao Jiping often praised Chen Guangrong's works, but Zhao Lin never heard Zhao Jiping say such a thing.

"Chen Guangrong's soundtrack mainly uses Western instruments, but his emotional core and story core are often oriental, which is what we Chinese people believe in."

Chen Guangrong's most famous score is "Infernal Affairs". It is obviously a Western instrument, but it has a sense of reincarnation and destiny unique to China.

This is really rare.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin nodded seriously.

Regarding this point, not only Zhao Jiping admired it, but he also admired it.

Seeing Zhao Lin thoughtful, Zhao Jiping was satisfied and felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Artists are like this, they need to communicate with each other, so as to make mutual progress and continuously inspire inspiration.

If Zhao Lin can have an idea, the purpose of coming here today is considered to have been achieved.

He planned to talk about other things and relax.

"What do you think of Sicario?"

Zhao Lin was stunned when he heard this. He had just closed his eyes to enjoy the soundtrack and didn't pay too much attention to the movie.

Zhao Jiping continued: "It is a good movie. Lee Sheng-yew is very talented. I think this movie is more breakthrough than his previous movies. He has put more effort into photography, soundtrack, and editing."

When Zhao Jiping was young, she often worked with film crews. She knew more about the production of film and television dramas than her son, and he also knew how to appreciate movies better.

"Sicario" had just been screened, and he was listening to the soundtrack while watching the movie.

Zhao Lin couldn't help but look at the old man.

Although they are not professional film critics, they are more or less insiders, especially Zhao Jiping, who has always had high requirements for film art.

This time, Zhao Jiping actually praised Li Shengyao's movie, which surprised Zhao Lin.

Such a thing is too rare.

He thought that "Taken 2" was excellent and very good-looking, but Zhao Jiping said that the story was good. After all, it was a commercial film with no breakthrough in artistic achievements, so it was not worthy of praise.

And this time he actually praised "Sicario Sicario", it seems that this time Lee Shengyao has shown his true skills.
