Actually I just want to act

Chapter 299 Forgot the soundtrack!

It was only by cheating Gu Hongye that Fang Jiming got a moment of peace.

Looking at the time, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Fang Jiming went outside the school to buy fried chestnuts in sugar for supper.Back in the editing room, Hu Lu was still looking at the material with red eyes.

"Teacher, eat some chestnuts to warm your body."

Fang Jiming handed over the candied fried chestnuts, and Hu Lu was not polite: "You just bought it?"

"Well, it's cold, eat something warm." Fang Jiming complained, "The weather in Yanjing is too cold, it's only November."

Hu Lu smiled and said: "People from the south say that, but these years have been considered good, there is heating. In the past, it was all relying on briquettes. At night, it is still so cold that you have to shiver when you cover a few quilts."

Fang Jiming has never seen Yanjing before, but in China a few years ago, the infrastructure construction was indeed not good enough, even Yanjing.It’s different now. With the development of national power, China’s infrastructure is booming, and it has a great meaning of catching up with Europe and the United States.I dare not say it in the vast countryside, but in the cities, it only needs another ten years of development, and it will be the turn of the crooked nuts to envy China.

"The days will always get better and better. Otherwise, we film workers wouldn't know where to eat."

Fang Jiming made a joke.

Hu Li also laughed, peeled a chestnut and threw it into his mouth: "It's waxy and fragrant, very good. Is this a small chestnut from Yunnan Province?"

"I don't know, maybe it's also the chestnut from Longhu Mountain, hahaha." Fang Jiming said with a smile, "As long as it tastes good, why bother talking about its origin."

Hu Lu nodded: "Are you planning to send this film to participate in the awards? Unfortunately, the Venice International Film Festival is over." That's right, the Venice International Film Festival is usually held from August to September every year.

"The time is wrong, I want to release it as soon as possible." Fang Jiming said, "Of course, it would be best if it can catch up with the Berlin Film Festival."

Yes, the Berlin Film Festival is held in February every year.

What Fang Jiming meant was that if you can catch up, you can catch up, and if you can't catch up, it's okay.

Anyway, Fang Jiming estimates that in the Chinese film market, he can also reap more than 1000 million box office. If he is lucky, 3000 million box office is not a problem.If there is a box office of 3000 million, then Fang Jiming's "Oriental DreamWorks" film and television company can make a profit of 1000 million, which is a huge profit.

As for the overseas market, how much is earned.

Hu Lu nodded and said: "In recent years, since Jinsen won the Best Artistic Contribution Award at the Venice International Film Festival, Chinese films have not won an award at an international film festival. Your film should be very suitable. If the aesthetics of Europeans and Americans are used in the competition, it is estimated that it will win a best screenplay award."

Fang Jiming knew that besides Jin Sen, there was also a national treasure director who won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.This director's name is An Xiasheng, and his status is similar to that of Lao Mouzi in his previous life. He can be regarded as a director at the national division level.But that award was already in the 80s, and 13 years have passed since this year.

"There is such a thing as awards, and it doesn't matter if you don't." Fang Jiming is very relaxed, "If the Berlin International Film Festival can still accept the selection of films that are screened in China, then go to the selection, it is not bad. "

Hu Lu nodded, and ate a few more chestnuts: "Okay, let's work, finish editing this film early. By the way, what are you going to do with the soundtrack?"

"Soundtrack?!"

Fang Jiming suddenly remembered that there is also the matter of the soundtrack.

Yeah, the soundtrack!
Anyone who understands movies knows that the soundtrack is not only the icing on the cake, but also an important finishing touch.

However, Fang Jiming selectively forgot!
It's not because Fang Jiming really forgot, but because he is not good at it.After being reminded by Hu Lu, Fang Jiming couldn't sit still.If the soundtrack can't be finished, then this movie will lose more than half of its color!what to do?
"Forget it, it's just the soundtrack. I have so many classic soundtracks in my head, why can't I write them out?"

Fang Jiming gritted his teeth and felt that he could do it.After all, in his previous life, Fang knew that he didn't understand music theory, but in this life, the original owner has learned music theory seriously.I dare not talk about arrangement, but "composition" is still possible.Ahem, it’s actually copying.

As for the soundtrack of the original version of "The Man From Earth", Fang Jiming doesn't remember it.

But this does not prevent him from having other soundtracks. He only needs to memorize some small fragments and it can be extended into a soundtrack of a few minutes.With the previous experience of "creating" songs, Fang Jiming felt that this should not be a big problem.Of course, it might be even better if a professional can be found to arrange the music.

Well, there is another easiest way, which is to buy the soundtrack.

In fact, musicians these days are not easy to mess around with. You just need to find a few unsatisfactory musicians and buy their works.If it is just the right to use the soundtrack of a movie, even if it is a classic soundtrack, it will not be too expensive.And the best way is to hire a soundtrack teacher to come over and make an original film soundtrack according to the progress of the movie.

After all, Fang Jiming prefers the last option.

For a movie, the importance of the soundtrack cannot be ignored. It can even be said that whether there is a classic soundtrack determines whether a movie is classic or not.

Hu Lu looked at Fang Jiming's strange expression, and couldn't help being amused: "You boy, maybe it's because you didn't expect to have a soundtrack?"

Fang Jiming smiled wryly: "The teacher's eyes are shining like a torch, I really ignored it."

"The soundtrack is important!"

Hu Lu said earnestly, "A soundtrack that fits well with the structure of the whole movie can definitely elevate the quality of the movie. Didn't it mean that music has no borders. Movies are a visual and auditory art. Sound Just as important as the picture."

Fang Jiming nodded and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely come up with the soundtrack after the initial cut."

Yes, Fang Jiming immediately thought of Xu Xinyun and asked her to hire a soundtrack artist in the name of the company.

It's just that the film market is too small, and there are not many dubbing artists in China.What Fang Jiming thought was that if he couldn't recruit, he would try to book a film contract. After the cooperation was completed, the contract could be renewed.Just adding these costs, Fang Jiming calculated, it may be more costly than the original version of "This Man Came From Earth".

The original version of "The Man Who Came From Earth", but with a cost of only 3.5 US dollars, leveraged the existence of [-] million US dollars at the box office.

Fang Jiming has already spent 10,000 yuan. If the cost of the soundtrack is added, he will be heading for [-]+.

Well, although it seems that the cost is comparable to the original version at present.

However, Fang Jiming will definitely use QQ, Baidu, hao123, and 360 to promote and create momentum.Even if these companies are their own, the advertising costs are still there, at least hundreds of thousands.

"Oh, the budget is going to be overrun." Fang Jiming sighed.
