Chapter 102 The Piano Is for You, You Play It!
Three seconds later.
An ethereal voice sounded
Following that, a crisp sound sounded like a countdown.
Immediately, this countdown became the background, and another sound was added, as if adding a hint of danger on the basis of the countdown.
The sound effects assistant couldn't help holding his breath.
The next moment, the power of the organ suddenly increased, and the bass echoed in the church.
And the countdown sound continued.
The music became more and more urgent.
The sound of thousands of pipes echoed in the church.
The sound effects assistant felt that he was tightly wrapped by the magnificent sound, and his soul was about to leave his body.
When I read the score, I felt that this song was shocking, but I didn't expect that it would be so penetrating with the organ.
No wonder the organ was placed in the church, it was too suitable for preaching.
This shock lasted for another two minutes, and the music stopped suddenly.
The assistant covered his heart and breathed quickly.
It's terrible, this song!
I just felt that my soul was about to be sucked away.
He took a deep breath and turned to praise Director Chen for his excellent score, but found that Director Chen frowned slightly, and seemed not very satisfied.
No way? No way?
Are you not satisfied with this effect?
Or did Director Chen have a headache?
Just as he was thinking this, footsteps came from the stairs.
Cong Gongming came down the stairs and walked over with a smile.
"Sorry for the poor performance."
Although he said that, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
I played to my level today, and this position is definitely secure!
Just when he was happy, he heard the chief director say:
"Teacher Cong played well. But..."
Chen Xiao paused, "There are some problems with the transition between notes. The rhythm is a little unstable. The emotions are not sufficient."
Cong Gongming was not angry at all when he heard this.
The lack of emotions can be solved by going back to learn more about the script.
As for the notes and rhythm, he does have problems in this regard.
After all, the operation of the organ is extremely complicated.
It needs to be played with hands and feet at the same time, with hands playing the hand keyboard and feet stepping on the foot pedal keyboard, which requires extremely high coordination.
Not only that, the performer also needs to use his hands to push and pull the stoppers to change the timbre.
His current technical level is indeed not perfect.
Cong Gongming nodded, "Director Chen really understands music, and his hearing is really good. I am still a little lacking in this aspect, but the effect should be enough to be background music. And we can use post-production technology to adjust the shortcomings."
Chen Xiao frowned slightly.
The organ is the main instrument of the soundtrack and is extremely important.
In the movie, when Cooper returned to the space station and found that the children had grown up and he missed their growth, the accompaniment was the organ solo.
For such an important instrument, the performer's technique is flawed and needs to be repaired in the later stage...
This feeling is like buying an expensive mobile phone film, and then finding a small bubble on the edge after applying it.
So painful, so uncomfortable!
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Cong Gongming felt a little uneasy and continued:
"Director Chen, I'll tell you the truth."
"I'm not the best in China, but there are two better performers in China. One is busy participating in the Notre Dame de Paris organ solo concert, and the other is busy getting a divorce."
"The crew probably can't invite them. I really like this song, so why don't we just leave it at that?"
In fact, this is why he dared to mention post-production to make up for the defects.
It's hard to find people.
The two people are not available for the time being. If they want to replace them, the crew must postpone the production, and the music plan will be disrupted.
I've heard that Director Chen pursues efficiency.
The rental cost of this concert hall is high.
No matter in terms of money cost or time cost, choosing him is the best result.
Cong Gongming was very stable in his heart and looked at Chen Xiao calmly.
Who knew that Chen Xiao's next sentence made his heart, which was ready to lie down, collapse directly.
"Sorry, Mr. Cong, please take this trip. Let's work together again next time."
Cong Gongming blinked and doubted his ears for a moment.
He hurriedly explained:
"Director Chen, even if you change people and time, the effect may not be as you wish."
"The difficulty of the organ is high, and this piece of music is also high. It is almost impossible to have no problems at all."
"And one of them is not free and probably won't return to China this year. The other is divorced and may not be in a good mood this year. Where can you find someone else?"
Chen Xiao touched his nose and said, "I'll do it myself."
The sound assistant turned his head suddenly.
Did Director Chen drink fake wine?
Or was he hit by snow falling from the roof at the door?
How could he play such a difficult instrument as the organ?
The assistant asked tentatively: "Director Chen, can you play the organ?"
"Yes."
"Ah? When did you learn it?"
Chen Xiao shrugged, "A few years ago."
What he was thinking was that he had just learned it.
Just now, I heard from Mr. Cong that the other two were not free.
It's too troublesome to hire someone from abroad. Besides, it's under the name of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Culture, so it's better to hire someone from China.
Then just learn it yourself.
So he exchanged 2.4 million emotion points for "Musical Instrument Performance Mastery".
Originally, he just wanted to be a leader and let his assistant hire someone to save himself some trouble.
Now it seems that for the sake of quality, he still has to do it himself.
Cong Gongming frowned, full of confusion.
What does it mean?
Chen Xiao said he would do it himself. Does that mean he plays better than him?
Thinking of this, Cong Gongming felt his blood pressure soar.
This is too much!
Too much!
Saying that his playing is problematic is fine, he admits it.
But Chen Xiao, who has only learned for a few years at most, actually claimed that he plays better than him.
What's the difference between this and what netizens often say, "What kind of acting is rubbish, I can do it too."
Respect him for being the chief director and respecting his talent, he can't insult people like this!
Is that right?
Here's the piano for you!
If he can't play it, this feud is settled!
After all, Cong Gongming is rarely questioned, and suddenly being despised like this, he was so angry that his hands were a little numb.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down. He forced a smile and said, "Director Chen, you must be proficient in the organ. Can you play it as a guide for me?"
Chen Xiao waved his hand, "Teacher Cong is too polite. How can you be called a guide?"
Cong Gongming clenched his fists and tried to maintain his demeanor, but his voice was still two degrees colder, "Director Chen, play it, otherwise I will really regret it."
Chen Xiao heard the words.
He could also hear the anger in Cong Gongming's heart.
Well, he seemed to be quite tactful just now.
But it's okay to play it, just to try the feel.
"Okay, I'll try it, please wait."
The sound assistant looked a little flustered.
This scene is not right.
This is not just a question of whether or not, to play it, you have to play better than Teacher Cong.
How is this possible!
It seems that Director Chen was just bragging when his brain was hot, and now he is in a difficult situation.
As a sensible assistant, I have to find a way for him to back down!
The sound assistant immediately grabbed Chen Xiao's arm.
"Director Chen, no, it's not necessary. I think Mr. Cong is good. You are already very hard-working as a director. Why don't you leave it to him?"
"It's okay, don't worry."
Chen Xiao pulled his hand out, patted his shoulder, and walked to the second floor.
