Chapter 101: Music Audition, Is This Performer up to the Task?

These emails were sent by various brands wanting to collaborate with Interstellar.

From clothing companies, snack companies, decoration companies...all kinds of industries.

Seeing these emails, Chen Xiao felt a little sad. He raised his head and looked at the night sky outside the window.

When we were working on the "Titanic" derivatives half a year ago, we encountered obstacles at every turn.

But this time I was inundated with invitations to collaborate.

The changes have been earth-shaking.

Chen Xiao sighed lightly, retracted his thoughts, and looked at the phone again.

Having said that, we need to quickly open an official WeChat account for "Interstellar" and make it public that it does not need sponsors.

All the gold coins are his!

Everyone opens, don't rush.

Chen Xiao threw the phone aside, turned off the light, lay down, and closed his eyes.

Let's write out the music score tomorrow.

The soundtrack is to be performed and recorded live in a concert hall.

Write out the music score, and when the sound effects assistant finds the performer, he will send the score to the performer and ask the performer to get familiar with it first.

That's it, sleep.

…

Five days later.

The northernmost parking lot of the Film and Television City.

Chen Xiao walked out of the car door, took out his cell phone and checked the time.

It's nine o'clock.

At ten o'clock he was going to the nearby concert hall to meet the organist.

The pipe organ is the main instrument used in film scores.

The level of the performer directly determines the level of the soundtrack and must be taken seriously.

However, there is still one hour left, so let’s go to the studio first.

When I walked into the studio, I saw a group of people gathered together to discuss how to design the space capsule. There are members of the props team and scene design consultants sent by the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Art director Wang Rui saw Chen Xiao coming in, said hello to the others, and left first.

He took out a folder from the backpack next to him, held it in his hand, and walked towards Chen Xiao.

"Good morning, Director Chen, I have something to ask you."

"good."

The two of them sat at a small round table nearby.

Wang Rui took out a small stack of paper from the folder and placed it in front of Chen Xiao, "Director Chen, I designed the space suit and the robot that appeared in the movie. Do you think it's okay? This will also help us sell figures in the future. ”

He recently carefully pondered the chief director's thoughts.

The reason why Director Chen gave up on older art directors and chose him who is only 32 years old must be to give the film fresh ideas and fit the minds of young people.

Grasp the chief director's ideas and your actions will not go astray!

So I carefully designed it for three or four days before drawing a sketch.

Chen Xiao picked up the document and his eyebrows moved slightly.

He stated in the "Preparation and Shooting Plan" that the robot and spacesuit would need to be discussed with personnel from the Ministry of Science and Technology for design.

It has only been five days, but Wang Rui has already designed it?

So fast. Could it be that he is a hardworking person like himself?

That's not bad.

Chen Xiao raised the corners of his mouth, nodded slightly, and opened the file.

The moment his eyes fell on the document, the smile on his face froze and he almost vomited something sweet.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Chen Xiao secretly complained in his heart. He took a deep breath and said:

"The purpose of making movies is not to sell figures! You bring yourself into it. In a period when resources are extremely scarce, everything must be practical. Don't design it yourself, okay? According to the plan I wrote, go to the Ministry of Science and Technology The consultants were sent to discuss the design. Remember, it’s all about practicality!”

Wang Rui nodded frustratedly, "Yes, I understand."

"If you have a sketch, show it to me."

"OK, all right."

"Come on." Chen Xiao returned the document to him, stood up, and turned to leave.

Wang Rui sighed.

Wrong guess.

If practicality is pursued, then the consultants from the Ministry of Science and Technology will be the main ones. Is there still room for his creativity?

Isn't it because of his active thinking that you are looking for him? Not letting him perform, this...

etc!

Director Chen asked him to grow corn, and he has to go to the glacier next month, and now he is also asked to set up scenes.

Could it be said that finding him a young man was not just for active creativity.

But for physical strength? ?

Depend on!

I thought I was in the group because of my talent, and I was complacent for a long time.

Unexpectedly, it relies on physical strength? !

Ten thousand critical hits!

On the other side, Chen Xiao wandered around the studio for a while and chatted with the scene design consultants.

Just before ten o'clock, he left the studio and walked towards the concert hall.

five minutes later.

Chen Xiao came to a Byzantine-style building.

This used to be a church, but about ten years ago, with the construction of the film and television city, it was converted into a concert hall.

In fact, there are three or four concert halls near the film and television city, and another one also has a pipe organ.

The reason why I chose this is because the pipe organ in a church is a little different from the pipe organ in an ordinary concert hall.

The pipe organ in an ordinary concert hall is usually on the stage for the audience to enjoy.

Church organs are usually placed high up so that the music can be spread throughout the building.

(The silver pipes are the pipes of the organ)

In principle, the latter is more suitable.

Because of the high placement and the tallness and depth of the church, the resonance effect is good, and the sound of the bass tube is even more shocking.

In terms of feeling, the latter is born for religion and wants to take people to an unknown world, which has a more ethereal feeling.

This is similar to "Interstellar" which explores the unknown world.

So he specially designated this concert hall that was converted from a church.

Chen Xiao pushed the door open and found the sound effects assistant Xiao Hu on the wooden chair on the first floor.

The man in his forties next to him should be the organist Cong Gongming.

In China, organists are rare.

Because it is extremely difficult to play, the instrument is large, and it is closely related to religion.

There are less than ten active performers in China.

The level of this teacher Cong ranks in the top three, which is very good.

But this does not mean that he is qualified for this position.

We need to listen to his performance.

The two heard footsteps and turned around and stood up.

Cong Gongming smiled and stretched out his hand, "Hello, Director Chen, nice to meet you."

Chen Xiao shook hands with him, "Hello, Teacher Cong, I've been waiting for a long time."

After a few polite words, the three of them.

Cong Gongming shook the music score in his hand.

"I have read the script and am familiar with the music score. How about I play it directly?"

"Okay, please."

Chen Xiao and his assistant stayed on the first floor.

Cong Gongming walked towards the organ on the second floor.

He sat in front of the organ and took out the music score of "No Time for Caution".

This piece of music appears when Cooper is driving a spaceship and is relatively still with the rotating space station to achieve docking.

The music needs to show the urgency, crisis and grandeur of the time.

Cong Gongming put the music score away, stood up and greeted Chen Xiao and the others, indicating that it was about to start.

Then he sat back in front of the organ and prepared to play.
