Chapter 337 Shocked! My Brother Chen!
In 1999, as of July in the Chinese music scene, the situation was as follows:
Zhang Yu, the king of old immortal love songs, has a new work, He Knows You Better Than I. The work is uncharacteristically different. Zhang Yu wrote the lyrics and Shi Yilang composed the music. Rumors say that the person in Zhang Yu’s lyrics is Xu Chen!
There is reason and evidence, but Zhang Yu and Shi Yilang were not in harmony. One night, Zhang Yu came home drunk, and his wife Shi Yilang was crying while holding the radio.
That's right!
The sound coming from the radio! It’s just Xu Chen’s rain that keeps falling! Zhang Yu took advantage of his drunkenness to create He Knows You Better than I Do!
Tsk.
Newspapers are making fun jokes, does Zhang have a NTR habit? I was running out of inspiration, but when I saw my wife cheating on me, I was suddenly inspired!
Zhang Yu's new song "He Knows You Better than I Do", "The King of Bitter Love Singers", is the most vivid and vivid song of "Bitter Love"!
Prince of Love Songs has released works such as Love is Just One Word, Zhou Hui Promise, Zhao Chuan Be Brave, Wu Bai Bai Ge, Andy Lau, and Jacky Cheung.
Mesozoic Era.
Zhang Huimei is very resistant to beatings. She released Can I Hug You, Don't Rub Salt in the Wound, Karen Mok's Cloudy Day, and Suddenly, they are all century-old Chinese classics!
The old gods and the Mesozoic Era are sublimated to the fullest and shine with great splendor.
But.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Chinese music scene belongs to the new generation. The newcomers who debuted in 1999 are so fierce!
The Yuquan group emerged in the mainland music scene. They released the most beautiful songs and quickly became popular in colleges and universities. Xu Chen's junior sister Jin Haixin released songs to wake up her ears, and her album sales exceeded one million!
The Hong Kong music scene has Zhang Bozhi, the theme song of the movie Xing Yu Xing Yuan, and the collaboration with the King of Treasure Island Ren Xianqi, which is quite popular!
Nicholas Tse, the successor of the Hong Kong circle, has taken up the banner of the new generation in the Hong Kong circle, and the Mesozoic generation Hui Chi On and Eason Chan are eyeing him.
certainly.
Taking stock of the Chinese music scene in 1999, the most beautiful ones are undoubtedly the Baodao music scene!
Newcomer Liang Jingru released singles Courage, Elva Hsiao's Most Familiar Stranger, Mayday Zhiming and Chunjiao, Wen Lan Rooftop, Jolin Tsai Blank.
Top priority! !
The Three Musketeers of the Taiwanese Music Circle Tao Jiji's album Black Liu Ding, Wang Leehom's album I Can't Miss You, Jay Chou's Fantasy album, the album has Nunchuck, Love in BC!
To some extent!
above!
For all the singers listed, their goal in the music world is Xu Chen, the king of Chinese music!
have a look!
What a mess my country is in!
Hong Kong and Bao'ao music media all took pleasure in the misfortune and published the news: Emperor Chen is going to die again!
It turns out that you don't respect martial ethics.
No wonder Xu Chen doesn't want Bilian!
The new album Xu Chen returns to his original roots, simply named Chen, which can be regarded as a summary of the first half of his music career.
Album Twelve Beast Songs.
The title song is Qian Baidu, a classic Chinese-style song at Noon High. Strictly speaking, Qian Baidu is the most standard melody of ancient poetry, and you can sing it with three sighs.
The pioneering work of Chinese style is Jay Chou's 2003 album "Dongfeng Po" by Ye Huimeili. The lyrics are graceful and moving, the melody is antique, and it is a rare Chinese style classic!
That’s why!
Xu Chen went directly to blue and white porcelain!
Album Twelve Beast Songs.
The concept is Chinese style, and there are ten songs left. Xu Chen hasn't thought about it well. Anyway, the crew is bored. When I'm tired from filming, I need to change my mind and think about it slowly!
…………
My Father and Mother crew.
Since Xu Chen returned to the crew.
The crew is completely inhumane about 007's life!
Lao Mouzi unswervingly implements the concept of equality, not only for actors and staff, not only for men and women, but also for donkeys, horses, and oxen on the crew!
simply say!
They're all animals!
The crew complained a lot but dared not speak out. Several times, Zhang Yimou's assistant Linda quietly found Xu Chen and asked Xu Chen to ask Zhang Yimou for a half-day leave.
I really can’t bear it anymore!
After sixty-eight hours, I slept for less than three and a half hours. It was a luxury to reverse day and night, and there was no concept of day and night!
Xu Chen has finally experienced the life of a crew.
honestly.
Actors are really tired. The average person in the entertainment industry is a liver emperor.
Xu Chen admired Ye Guang's script. She is so dedicated, let's put it this way, staying up late, using high-intensity lights, using makeup, the skin of actresses in the entertainment industry is extremely bad, not to mention the glow-in-the-dark script, it is off-putting to watch.
Focus on criticizing Zhang Ziyi!
The girls saw that Xu Chen was not interested in her, so they just put it on display. The ugly Northeastern red cotton-padded jacket was dirty and black, showing a state of hangover and vomiting.
It’s hot summer in July again.
The smell of sweat from the man's body is strong and sour, a mixture of sweat and perfume mixed with fermentation. Usually, animals don't go under the wind of Zhang Ziyi for fear of fainting.
The stinky bitches were so shameless that they went to Xu Chen's lounge after the show, rubbed his fan, chilled watermelon, and fell asleep with their buttocks stuck out.
Xu Chen is very annoyed
He simply took off the women's cotton-padded jackets while they were sleeping.
Zhang Ziyi, who was not very thin, only wore a white sweatshirt with milky white snow shoots. Xu Chen kneaded it twice.
Acridine! !
Scammer!
Wearing a milk tea cover or peeling off the milk tea cover in the summer made Xu Chen want to complain. Wake up and don't sleep on your stomach!
Zhang Ziyi slept like a dead pig!
He had no idea that he had been exposed.
Fortunately, Xu Chen was not interested, so he restored Zhang Ziyi to his original settings, but his hands were weak. Before restoring, he stretched out his hand and pinched it twice.
Zhang Ziyi was in pain, drowsy, rubbed his eyes, stared at Xu Chen in confusion.
The fan blows cold air, and the skin is cool. The girl murmurs in a daze and rubs it lightly, sticking her buttocks out and continuing to sleep. Sure enough, sleep and tofu, Zhang Ziyi chooses to sleep!
This is how Xu Chen explained to Linda.
Linda looked like she was not surprised. She was sleepy as hell. She stared enviously at Zhang Ziyi, who was snoring in front of the fan. Haqie said to the sky: "Brother Chen, the lives of more than a hundred people in our crew are just like this." I can only rely on you, Brother Chen, if you don’t rest..."
Linda said.
Gradually, there was no movement, and a low snoring came. After being dragged to sleep for 3 seconds, Linda felt like she was electrocuted. Her body twitched, and she continued to chatter all day long. She begged bitterly: "Brother Chen, if you don't rest, you are really going to die suddenly!"
The sudden death of a crew member while filming is not big news, right? ?
Xu Chen sighed: "Linda, Lao Mouzi is watching me closely, I..."
"Brother Chen!"
Linda said anxiously: "You are the only one on the crew who can talk to Director Zhang on an equal footing and discuss requirements. Besides, Brother Chen, you are already of the times. Why don't you go find Director Zhang and give it a try."
Linda glanced at Zhang Ziyi, who was sleeping with his butt protruded, and said decisively: "How about, Brother Chen, you are rubbing it, and after that we go to Director Zhang to apply?"
sweat.
Stupid criticism of women has been taken as a condition.
Xu Chen thought for a while and decided that he really needed to take a rest. He nodded and said, "Let's do this Linda. Lao Mouzi came to talk to me a few days ago about film scores. I just have some ideas these days. You go ask Lao Mouzi." Mouzi came over and told me that I would give him a sound test on the spot."
"Got it, Brother Chen!" Linda said happily.
The soundtrack takes a long time, and the afternoon shooting plan may be terminated.
Arriving at the door happily, Linda suddenly paused, looked around Xu Chen's lounge, and said hesitantly: "Brother Chen? Do you really want to contact Director Zhang to come over for an audition? I don't think there is any music in the room..."
Linda hesitated.
"I was coming to you about this."
Xu Chen said with a smile: "I'd also like to ask Linda to go to the kitchen and find a carrot. Well, it's okay if you don't have carrots and white radish. If it doesn't work, you can also find a potato."
Linda's eyes widened and she was a little shocked and asked: "Brother Chen!"
"Go quickly, you will know later." Xu Chen waved his hands without any extra explanation.
Linda found Zhang Yimou and told her about Xu Chen's audition. She said mysteriously, "Director Zhang, Brother Chen is going to play with carrots. It's amazing!"
Carrot playing?
Zhang Yimou was stunned for a moment, then became interested. He asked the leader of the props team and slowly looked for Xu Chen with his hands behind his back.
At this time.
The crew member ran over and panted to report the situation at the door.
turn out to be.
Xu Chen appeared on the cover of Time Magazine's Asia edition. This incident caused an uproar in mainland China and the entire entertainment industry was talking about it.
after all.
The entertainment stars currently on the cover of Time, Princess Wang and Cheng Jiaoshe are all Hong Kong actors, while Gong Li is a mainland actor, but Gong Li relies on Zhang Yimou.
Moreover.
After all, Gong Li is older, but Xu Chen is different. In other words, Gong Li's upper limit may be Xu Chen's lower limit.
Xu Chen returned to China.
My father and mother were seamlessly included in the set. The domestic media could not find any interview opportunities, so they simply swarmed to the set, hoping that Zhang Yimou could arrange it.
Zhang Yimou went crazy filming.
This kind of news has interrupted the crew's filming plans before.
They were all rejected directly and ruthlessly.
Now.
Zhang Yimou clasped his hands behind his back, thought for a while, and said to the staff: "Invite them in, but I can't decide whether Xu Chen will accept the interview or not."
After taking two steps, Zhang Yimou stopped the staff: "Tell them to be quiet and not to delay the crew's work."
It doesn't take a while.
The staff led the reporters in and checked their work certificates. There were reporters from southern media outlets, from as far away as Peking, major newspapers, and Peking Youth Daily!
It’s a national media that has roots in Hongmiaozheng.
The staff were very polite and did not stop the reporter from taking some innocuous photos with his camera. When it came to the privacy of the film, there was no comment at all.
After all, the reporters didn't come here for the movie, but simply made some insinuations about Xu Chen's news.
"Brother Chen is a very nice person. He often buys iced watermelon, daily drinks, and various snacks for the crew."
"I think the biggest benefit of the crew is that sometimes they can listen to Brother Chen singing. It feels almost like a concert and the atmosphere is very good."
"Oh, it's a coincidence that you guys have caught up. Brother Chen is about to discuss the film's soundtrack with Director Zhang."
Said.
The staff member said mysteriously: "I heard that Brother Chen didn't bring a musical instrument. No, I found a carrot. This is the first time I've heard that a carrot can be used as a musical instrument. It's amazing."
carrot?
The reporter was confused for a moment, and then became very interested. This news is really not small, and it is very curious and worth reporting.
The group of people came to Xu Chen's lounge.
Xu Chen is not here.
The staff came over to notify and take people to the woods. Brother Chen and Director Zhang were both in the woods.
My father and mother have beautiful scenery.
The crew usually takes a break.
They were all having a bonfire party in the woods.
The reporter found Lin Zi.
I was a little shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of me. The sky was blue, the woods were quiet and peaceful, and the wind blew the leaves, bringing pleasant sounds of nature.
The grass in front of the woods.
Zhang Yimou lay comfortably on the grass, resting his hands on his pillow, observing Xu Chen carving carrots with great interest.
gradually.
Under Xu Chen's hands, the carrot still looked like a carrot, but with a few more holes, it looked similar to a flute.
A large group of people were sitting around.
It was a rare break for the crew, and all the staff were sleeping on the grass. They were so exhausted from the past few days that they couldn't sleep for a while, staring at the sky.
Xu Chen peeled the carrots.
I held it in my hand and tried the sound.
It is not uncommon for carrots to be used as flutes. It is simply unheard of to have a big man named Brick or Sofa making flutes.
My Father and Mother soundtrack.
Xu Chen prepared two versions.
One version is a Chinese-style pure music composed by the movie Sambo. Sambo is a master of domestic soundtracks and has participated in works such as Jinfen Family and See You or Be Parted.
That's why.
The quality of the work is really not low, and it fits the intention of the movie very well. It has a feeling of sadness and regret brought by the passage of time.
The second version is pure music THE RAIN created by Japanese soundtrack master Joe Hisaishi.
The RAIN was chosen as the background music for Japanese film master Takeshi Kitano's movie Kikujiro's Summer!
The movie was released in October 1999.
Xu Chen registered the copyright in 1998 and has always kept it secret.
Northeastern woods in July.
Time seemed to have stood still, and the white clouds drifted away slowly.
Xu Chen holds carrots,
Play THE RAIN slowly!
Soothing music seems to have a magical power to soothe people's hearts, like a mother's warm embrace. As the music flows, everyone can't help but indulge.
The wind is quiet and quiet.
Afraid of disturbing the sound of the flute.
Everyone seemed to ignore Xu Chen, and even ignored this beautiful music, and the instrument he played was just a carrot.
THE RAIN.
It is sad but not sad, but the melody is lingering with the artistic conception of regret, which makes people unable to let it go for a long time.
Xu Chen finished playing.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, rested his head on his hands, fell down on the soft grass, and asked with a smile: "Director Zhang, how do you like this song Xu Chen's Summer?"
Um.
Kikujiro, I'm sorry, your summer is gone! Xu Chen didn't feel guilty at all for plagiarizing Japanese works. Lafayette had given him money!
Zhang Yimou looked stunned.
Compared with Xu Chen's summer, Xu Chen's carrot playing is nothing.
Art is connected.
This piece of pure music is undoubtedly a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation.
But.
Zhang Yimou stared at the sky, and after a while, he sighed: "Teacher Xu, the melody is a good melody, but it lacks a bit of flavor."
Xu Chen is young.
High status.
Zhang Yimou directly called him Xu Chen, which was a bit harsh and Achen, but not very polite. Therefore, Zhang Yimou directly called Xu Chen Teacher Xu.
Not that much.
Xu Chen often calls him Teacher Zhang. A master is a teacher. Xu Chen is a master in music, so it is normal to call him teacher.
"Is it missing a bit of the artistic conception of traditional Chinese culture?"
Xu Chen understood it clearly.
After all, the pure music created by the Japanese, although good, lacks a bit of Chinese charm.
Turn over and sit.
He joked: "Director Zhang, it's hard for you to make money. Fortunately, I also composed a song. Well, this one is much simpler. You can't miss out on the name."
No one should be missing.
Zhang Yimou looked thoughtful and gradually became interested. He also turned around and said with a smile: "This is more suitable for a movie than Xu Chen's Summer."
THE RAIN created by Xu Chen is excellent.
I didn’t expect to be able to compose two songs.
Zhang Yimou was a little shocked, thinking that Xu Chen was indeed a monster, and that he could easily come to him.
Xu Chen held a carrot.
No one should be left out if you continue to play. It is originally the soundtrack of the movie My Father and Mother, and it naturally perfectly matches the artistic conception of the movie.
No one should be missing.
The melody is more majestic and majestic than THE RAIN. Although it is sad but not sad, it has a more delicate fragrance accumulated over time.
Play this tune.
A moment.
Xu Chen seemed to see the land of white clouds and black soil, the golden birch forest, and Zhaodi in a flowered cotton-padded jacket standing at the door with a shy and shy smile.
This song.
Undoubtedly, it matched the environment very well. The staff listened to the melody and gradually fell asleep. After a while, the whole forest was filled with loud snoring.
Xu Chen frowned, shook his head helplessly, and stopped playing.
Zhang Yimou looked at the staff who were sleeping on the floor with an expression of astonishment. He didn't expect that music could have such magic power, and he was filled with emotions for a while.
The reporter was carrying a camera.
Keep recording what you see and hear.
Xu Chen's carrot playing music was amazing, and the staff who were sleeping all over the place during the music were somewhat legendary.
Think of the news in the newspaper.
The reporters were a little excited, this trip was really not in vain!
Xu Chen told Zhang Yimou about Linda's request.
Zhang Yimou glanced at the sleeping staff, shook his head, and said with a smile: "I want to continue shooting now, but I can't. It's like this. Just have a good rest at night. Work will start on time at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Teacher Xu, the crew wants both songs."
Zhang Yimou paused, thought for a while and said: "Your price is not low. I will discuss this matter with Zhang Weiping. I can't let you suffer any loss."
Zhang Yimou values Xu Chen's musical talent. My father and mother are just a starting point. There will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future.
The film only has the right to use it, not the music copyright, so Xu Chen doesn't have to worry about money.
Out of the woods.
The reporter immediately fled out.
real.
There was a sense of urgency to escape. The microphone was thrown in front of Xu Chen, and various questions came one after another.
Boring anyway.
Xu Chen was happy to accompany him and boasted nonchalantly: "What's it like to be on the cover of Time Asia? You don't have much experience. It's natural. After all, you're at this age."
"What's your biggest worry lately? Your biggest worry lately is that it's too red. You can find it even if you hide in the mountains and forests. It's so relaxing."
"Future plans? There are no plans. I am now the King of Chinese. What plans can I have? I plan to retire. At my age, I have to prepare for major events in my life."
"What? 19 is not a very old age. I can't admit this. I'm 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 30. The age is not here yet.”
"Even at the age of 30, my current achievement is still that of a young hero? It's smaller, smaller, and the pattern is smaller. Young heroes are just outsiders' opinions. My dream is world peace!"
Damn you!
The entertainment reporter was not willing to interview Xu Chen. Just like the princess, she was either blocked or annoyed to death. If Xu Chen's traffic was not high, the entertainment reporter would have given him two hammers!
The days are neither salty nor bland.
A blink of an eye.
The movie is finished.
Xu Chen gained a lot from photographing my father and mother.
Take stock.
I gained two black eyes, a carrot musical instrument, the admiration of the crew, Lao Mouzi’s kindness, Zhang Ziyi’s shredded flesh...
There are a lot of tricks.
Return to Peiping.
The sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant.
Xu Chen is recording a new album [Chen].
August.
Xu Chen received a call, the caller ID was Zhao Dongbei.
The relationship between Xu Chen and Zhao Dongbei was neither good nor bad. When Zhao Dongbei called, he answered the phone and asked, "Teacher Zhao, are you planning to ask me to act in a sketch again?"
You are so cute.
In 2000, when he was cast as part-time worker in Zhao Dongbei's sketch, Xu Chen thought about it in his mind. Oh no, he could only play Zhao Dongbei's son in the sketch!
Depend on!
Xu Chen complained bitterly about Zhao Dongbei's unreliability. During the 1999 Spring Festival Gala, he was criticized for no reason. People all over the country said that if Xu Chen is handsome now, he will be as disgraceful as Zhao Dongbei when he gets old.
"Mr. Xu, I don't have any sketches. I am calling you because I was asked by a friend to invite Teacher Xu out for a casual meal." Zhao Dongbei spoke very politely.
It's not that he's afraid of Xu Chen.
Zhao Dongbei was polite to everyone and not arrogant at all. Maybe Shanhaiguan had not moved to Peiping, and the place was not under his control.
Chatted for a few words.
turn out to be.
Zhao Dongbei was entrusted by Xiao Cui to ask Xu Chen to record an episode of telling the truth. (End of chapter)
