my gilded age

Chapter 401: A small storm, hitting the Olympics at no time, with integrity, landing in Hollywood in real autumn

As the chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 08 Beijing Olympics, and also the person in charge of the general artistic program, Zhang Yimou has a heavy burden.

But fortunately, he has the best team in the country.

There are a lot of art consultants, not to mention Mr. Ji Xianlin’s talents and knowledge, and his old classmate, Chen Kai.

I remember that in "Yellow Earth", Zhang Yimou was just Chen Kai's photographer, but now, I am overpowering him.

I won’t talk about this feeling, but something happened now.

Zhang Yimou rarely watches TV, and that's all he cares about the Internet, and something strange happened right now.

His superiors ordered him to watch a commercial called "Run Forward".

advertise?

What are you looking at? It's so boring.

In fact, Zhang Yimou was a master of advertising, but the price was completely different for him. But this time, he immediately heard that Bai Shiqiu was responsible for this advertisement, and he became interested.

Huo, that's awesome.

After watching this advertisement, Zhang Yimou decided that this was a very good work, and the technique was very subtle.

One of the sentences has nothing to do with 512, but it is consistent with the spirit of fighting against disasters and gives people the strength to work hard.

Bai Shiqiu, Bai Shiqiu, you really have a lot of tricks up your sleeve.

This shouldn't be called an advertisement at all, but just a short film, an inspirational short film, which is very unusual. It also gathers many stars to tell their own stories.

Maybe it's not that artistic or fancy, but these stories together are really shocking and inspiring.

However, Zhang Yimou immediately understood the intention of his superiors in letting him watch this short film.

This was taken for 512. So, such a big disaster as 512 must be included in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Zhang Yimou actually doesn’t have much energy to take care of 512. It is the critical period of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. ,time is limited.

The music in the short film, this song is good, if it is accompanied by local survivors in the disaster area... Zhang Yimou has already begun to grasp the elements he can use.

Watching, listening, thinking.

I can't help but think a little more. This short film makes people have to think a lot.

This Olympic Games is full of twists and turns, especially the global relay of the torch. Abroad, it is really... haha...

Zhang Yimou wanted to scold people very much, who was disgusted by the things that those foreigners did?
Especially in Cannes, there are famous movie stars making such vicious remarks.

To be honest, Zhang Yimou feels that some of his juniors are really not smart. In this situation, why are they still staying in Cannes?

What can I get?
No matter how good the movie is, in that kind of atmosphere, it will definitely not give you even a hair.

Sure enough, Jia Zhangke returned home in vain. Not only him, but all Chinese films, including those from Taiwan, didn't get back a single cent. As for the donations... they got less than 100 million US dollars, including not one. At least some of it was donated by us Chinese ourselves.

So unintelligent and devoid of any political sensitivity.

Thinking back to the "No One Less" movie back then, we were very smart and quickly pulled back when we saw that the wind was going in the wrong direction.

Now, they have not won any external awards, and a group of people in China are poking their backs. Lao Mouzi has already heard many people in the circle scolding him, and the scoldings were very unpleasant. Even Chen Kai was scolding him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yimou suddenly had a glimmer of understanding.

Let's have a good chat with Bai Shiqiu.

The day after the phone call, Bai Shiqiu naturally arrived at the headquarters of the Beijing Olympic Committee's opening ceremony.

I am very busy and nervous. After all, it is only more than two months before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. It would be strange not to be like this.

"Teacher Zhang."

"Shiqiu is here, okay, okay, haha..."

When Bai Shiqiu saw Zhang Yimou, he felt a little strange. Teacher Zhang was so enthusiastic.

You know, although the two have collaborated before, and from the looks of things, the collaboration was pretty good. At that time, "The Golden Jacket" set the box office record for domestic movies, which was quite impressive.

However, after all, you didn't win any major awards. In addition, the script that Baek Shiqiu helped to revise didn't win the award. Does it have anything to do with you, Baek Shiqiu?
In addition, the current box office record is not broken by "Assembly Number", nor is it caused by you Baek Shiqiu.

So, should we be so enthusiastic?
"Haha... Shiqiu, I called you here this time mainly for the music in your short film, called..."

"Rudy."

In fact, he said it on the phone, but now Zhang Yimou behaves like this, which makes Bai Shiqiu feel even more strange.

But soon, Bai Shiqiu understood more or less.

"Master, you are here."

"Ah? Tian Tian? Why are you here?"

There are many people in this room, but Bai Shiqiu really didn't expect that he would meet his apprentice Tian Tian, ​​and what happens next...

"Teacher Zhang said that he wanted me to sing the song "Chasing Dreams"."

"This...he arranged it like this?"

All of a sudden, I understand.

This is flattering!

Others may not be able to see it, but Bai Shiqiu doesn't understand. He just said Bingxue Weitian. He already knew that Xue would definitely appear in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

By the way, Xue has a lot of resources, and they are all of high quality. Of course, she is also very beautiful, but after the Spring Festival Gala, she is a heroine in TV series and has released a CD, but she is not popular.

Now, not only Xue will definitely appear in the Olympics, but Tian Tian will also appear.

Tian Tian has also released a CD, and he hired Zhang Yadong to do it. Bai Shiqiu knows this. It is not produced by our Red Star anyway, and he has no control over Zhang Yadong's private work.But now, he was somewhat embarrassed about this matter, not because he had to praise Little Pepper or the Band, but because it was a key issue...

"Teacher Zhang, is this arrangement okay?"

This question raised by Bai Shiqiu really shocked everyone.

Everyone just heard it. Tian Tian called Bai Shiqiu master. Just such a sentence, to be honest, surprised everyone.

This Olympics is really extraordinary. The entire team is top-notch in the relevant fields in China. No one is convinced by anyone, and they are very arrogant.

Zhang Yimou found Tian Tian and wanted Tian Tian to sing a song. Everyone knew this idea, and it was probably the same as 'Snow'.

Flattery is no big deal. If done well, it will be helpful to our event.

But Bai Shiqiu raised such a direct question, it's too...frank, right?

When Zhang Yimou heard this, his face turned ugly. What happened to this kid?Give him a chance to make meritorious deeds and he still won’t take advantage of it?

To be honest, Zhang Yimou didn't know about the relationship between Tian Tian and Bai Shiqiu. Zhang Yimou was extremely happy when this master called out.

But who would have thought that Bai Shiqiu would come out to oppose it.

"Shiqiu, please tell me your opinion." Zhang Yimou is the chief director at this time, so of course he must have this style.

Bai Shiqiu said simply: "I know Tian Tian very well. Because of this understanding, I feel that if Tian Tian sings this song, it is not very good. Is it higher?"

This is absolutely true. The tune of "Chasing Our Hearts" is very high. The original singer Su Duo, the scene was a pure car accident scene. Almost every sentence was broken. Otherwise, Bai Shiqiu would not have thought of changing. Lead singer.

And now, coupled with the addition of Little Pepper, Yao Xiaona has sung it, and her level is so high that it is so high.

The difficulty is too high, how could Tian Tian complete it well?
However, Zhang Yimou had an idea.

"It's simple. Tian Tian is lip-syncing in the front, and the voice is still the same... By the way, the Noon Band, they come to sing, and that solves the problem."

When Bai Shiqiu heard this, it turned out that he was naive.

Isn't this just Miaoke's thing? On the scene, it's Miaoke, but the voice is Peiyi's.

To be honest, this is an ordinary stage technique. At that time, the little girl Peiyi had some image problems, so it is understandable to make such a change.

But now, Bai Shiqiu is having a hard time.

Simply, without telling Zhang Yimou, Bai Shiqiu looked directly at Tian Tian, ​​"Tian Tian, ​​Master, you should know who I am. I am opposed to this matter, but I estimate that Teacher Zhang is following all the people sitting here. Teachers are all supportive, now it’s up to you whether you want to or not.”

After saying this, he turned to Zhang Yimou and everyone else and said: "This is my personal opinion, but if everyone supports it and agrees to do this, I personally, and we at Red Star, will definitely support it, and so will all the members of the band. Full support. This is the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and this is the first time China has hosted such an event. You have no doubt that I and the entire Red Star team will definitely go all out."

Bai Shiqiu's words were striking.

After speaking, he glanced at Tian Tian again, apologizing, and smiled at everyone, leaving some words on the scene, and he left.

Zhang Yimou looked at Bai Shiqiu's back, and he felt an inexplicable feeling of envy.

When I was young, I would have done the same.

……

It was originally a good thing, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this.

When Tian Tian returned home, she felt somewhat depressed. Why didn't her master support her?

"Son, what's wrong?" Of course Tian Tian's mother could tell.

Lao Tian was at home today, so he came over.

Tian Tian felt a little aggrieved and told her everything.

When Lao Tian heard this, he basically understood that these days, people are being flattered one after another.

But Tian Tian’s mother is different.

"Oh, Bai Shiqiu, this damn boy, what is he going to do? Why are his elbows sticking out! Could it be... that he has something to do with that girl from the band Noon?"

As soon as these words came out, Tian Tian couldn't help it anymore, "Mom! What are you talking about!"

But the rebuttal is not strong, because my master seems to be more complicated in the relationship between men and women.

Lao Tian thought for a while and said: "Son, although I have not been to the disaster area, I have understood the basic situation, which is really heartbreaking. Speaking of the current matter, let me ask you, do you think you can sing this song? good?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Tian's big eyes dimmed a bit, "The difficulty is indeed very high."

Lao Tian said seriously: "Then this is over. You have to think about the future. This song was not sung by you. If someone discovers it later, how big of a commotion will it cause? This is an Olympic program. It is also related to the disaster area, how much infamy will it cause if there is even the slightest mistake?"

After Tian Tian heard this, a smile appeared on his face, "Okay, stop talking, I understand."

Tian Tian's mother still didn't understand, "Old Tian, ​​what are you talking about? What's going on with Bai Shiqiu? You're so good, and you're helping him suppress our Tiantian?"

Lao Tian said helplessly: "What kind of suppression is this? It's clearly for the sake of our family Tiantian."

At the end of the sentence, he seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile: "Bai Shiqiu really has some good qualities about him."

……

A storm subsided like this. Bai Shiqiu never imagined that this song "Chasing Dreams" could be on the stage of the Olympic Games. But now, it will be more than two months. The band will rehearse after going out, and Bai Shiqiu has nothing to do with him. .

But he, Lao Bai, couldn't be idle either.

The United States is urging us to start production on the film "Trevor."

We are here to make money from the American emperor.
