Chapter three hundred and eighty seventh unexpected joy(1/3)
Lion King Pictures came into the hands of Zhang Yu, but did not make many adjustments.
At least not yet.
Of course, it is not unchanged.
Such as corporate finance.
The company's personnel have not changed much and everything is business as usual.
This is obviously just an overkill.
If a sudden change is too drastic, it will inevitably cause panic and be detrimental to the development of the company.
However, even if the company does not change.
Zhang Shisan, the boss, naturally has an amazing voice in the company.
He can decide who to stay and who to leave.
What's more, "Forrest Gump" is a work written by him, so the film director naturally has to discuss it with him.
If you were an ordinary screenwriter, you might have been recruited to Hollywood.
But Zhang Yu is the boss, and he can't get away for the time being.
So director Robert Hanks personally came to China and met with Zhang Yu.
Robert is not considered a top Hollywood director, but he is still considered a first-tier director.
He is also one of the directors most suitable to direct the film "Forrest Gump".
Zhang Yu has watched many films directed by him.
There is no doubt about Robert's ability.
In Zhang Yu's view, he is only one good script away from the top Hollywood directors.
Then Robert can naturally see the quality of "Forrest Gump" written by Zhang Yu.
He can also see what this film means to him.
Therefore, the importance he attaches to this film may not be any worse than that of Zhang Yu.
This was one of the reasons why he couldn't wait to come to China to find Zhang Yu.
Even if Zhang Yu is not the boss and is just a screenwriter, he will still be so proactive.
There is no other reason, just because of the importance.
And with him was Hollywood actor Tom Zemeckis.
Tom is not well-known in Hollywood, he is only second-tier.
But Zhang Yu knows that his acting skills are still very good.
Zhang Yu is preparing to go to Hollywood after filming "Avatar" to start his superhero movie world. Naturally, he has learned a lot about the directors and actors in Hollywood.
His photographic memory naturally made an impression on Tom.
How could Zhang Yu not understand the purpose of Robert bringing Tom here?
The importance of the male lead to this movie can be imagined.
It is definitely one of the keys to the success or failure of the film.
Robert came with Tom, obviously interested in letting him star.
The director has great autonomy in the choice of actors.
However, directors of films written by Zhang Yu will almost always seek his opinion.
Robert is no exception.
This is not just because Zhang Yu is an investor in this film.
The screenwriter of his film is also an extremely good director himself.
His opinions greatly contributed to the film.
Zhang Yu believes in Robert's vision, but whether Tom is suitable still needs to be tested.
This is also responsible for the film and respect for the actors.
As his first film after acquiring Lion Pictures, this film cannot be missed.
After some trials, Zhang Yu was pleasantly surprised.
Perhaps, this movie can help Tom perform well at the Oscars.
Robert and his team stayed on the set for several days.
This is not unrelated to Zhang Yu's plans to shoot a new film.
Discussing the script with them will have to wait until Zhang Yu is finished.
Zhang Yu will not delay the filming of his film because of them.
After some discussion, Robert returned to Hollywood with a lot of achievements, and Yang Ruoxue's album began to be promoted on the charts.
This time we’ll start with Europe and the United States.
The song "The Sound of Silence" has appeared on major music charts in Europe and the United States at an astonishing speed, and is heading towards the top of the list.
The melody of "The Sound of Silence" is slow and low, and the lyrics are full of a hallucinatory artistic conception.
Listening carefully, it seems to be telling a kind of catharsis of youthful helplessness.
In front of me, I seem to see an ignorant girl walking alone in a narrow, cold alley paved with cobblestones. The noisy crowd gradually fades away behind her, and there is an endless night in front of her...
If the song is considered to be a folk song, it seems too profound. If the oscillating rhythm with the powerful music is considered to be rock, it is too delicate. Musically, it has created a neutral body of the genre, which should be the biggest reason for its success.
This song was also used as the interlude and ending theme of the movie "The Graduate".
This song was hailed as one of the most classic pieces of music in history in its previous life. It has touched the hearts of hundreds of millions of people around the world and continues to be sung to this day.
It seems logical that this world will become popular.
Why did Yang Ruoxue Studio choose such a song as a chart-topping song?
Zhang Yu doesn't know.
He didn't have time to pay attention either.
However, if you take any one of the seven English songs, they might all be the same.
Of course, no one can guarantee that classic songs from previous lives will become popular when they come to this world.
No one can guarantee it.
However, judging from the reactions from all parties, it was obviously a success.
At least this chart-topping song is a hit.
And it was explosive.
Yang Ruoxue went to Europe and the United States to hit the charts with an English song, and it went straight to the top of the charts.
When the news spread back to China, it still caused a great sensation.
Everyone can see that Yang Ruoxue is preparing to charge internationally.
And it seems to have been successful.
Some information about her new album was also revealed.
The album has twelve songs, only four of which are Chinese songs.
Even so, domestic fans are looking forward to this album.
Who doesn’t know that Zhang Shisan writes lyrics and composes music? Any song he picks out will be at the level of a title song.
As for how the album will perform in Europe and the United States, the domestic public is still looking forward to it.
There are really no Chinese pop singers who have become famous abroad just for their songs.
It is obviously much easier for actors than singers to go abroad.
Chinese celebrities who have a certain degree of popularity abroad are obviously mainly actors.
There are twelve songs in Yang Ruoxue's new album, all lyrics and music were written by Zhang Shisan.
This in itself is quite a gimmick.
Needless to say in China, Zhang Shisan’s talent in song creation has been recognized by all fans.
And what about abroad?
Zhang Shisan is not an unknown person now.
He is undoubtedly best known for his movies and his kung fu.
However, with the promotion of Yang Ruoxue's album, foreign fans learned that he still has such talent in song writing.
At this time, many people suddenly remembered that Zhang Shisan had said at the Oscars more than once that he was a music student.
To be continued...
