Chapter 102
Three seconds later.
An ethereal voice sounded.
Immediately afterwards, 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 but hold his breath.
The next moment, the power of the organ suddenly increased, and the bass echoed in the church.
And the sound of the countdown 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 was looking at the score, I felt that this song was shocking, but I didn't expect it to be so penetrating with the organ.
No wonder the organ should be placed in the church, it is too suitable for preaching.
This shock lasted for another two minutes, and the music stopped abruptly.
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 dissatisfied.
No way? No way?
Are you not satisfied with this effect?
Or is Director Chen having 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.
""I'm sorry for the poor performance."
Although he said that, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had performed to his full potential today, and this position was definitely secured!
He was just feeling happy when he heard the chief director say:
"Teacher Cong played well.……"
Chen Xiao paused,"There are some problems with the transition between notes. The rhythm is a little unstable. The emotions are not strong enough."
Cong Gongming was not angry at all when he heard this.
The emotions are not strong enough, and he can solve it 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 keyboard and feet stepping on the keyboard, which requires extremely high coordination.
Not only that, the performer also needs to use his hands to push and pull the stops to change the timbre.
His current technical level is indeed not perfect.
Cong Gongming nodded,"Director Chen is worthy of his understanding of music, and his hearing is really good. I am indeed 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 later...
This feeling is like buying an expensive mobile phone film and finding a small bubble on the edge after applying it.
It's so painful and uncomfortable!
Cong Gongming saw that he didn't say anything, and felt a little uneasy, so he continued:
"Director Chen, I have something to tell you."
"I am not the best performer in China, but there are two performers in China who are better than me. 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, too. Why don't we just leave it at that?"
In fact, this is the reason why he dared to mention post-production to make up for the defects.
They can't find anyone.
Those two are not available at the moment. If they want to replace them, the crew must postpone it, and the music plan will be disrupted.
I heard that Director Chen pursues efficiency.
The rental cost of this concert hall is high.
Whether in terms of money cost or time cost, choosing him is the best result.
Cong Gongming was very stable in his heart, and he 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, for bothering you to come here. 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 or time, the effect may not be what you want."
"The difficulty of playing the organ is high, and this piece of music is also high. It is almost impossible to have no problems at all."
"Moreover, one of them is busy and probably won’t return to China this year. The other one is divorced and may not be in a good emotional state this year. Where can you find someone?"
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?"
"meeting"
""Ah? When did you learn it?"
Chen Xiao shrugged,"A few years ago."
But what he was thinking was, I just learned it.
I just heard from Teacher Cong that the other two people are not available.
It is too troublesome to invite them from abroad. What's more, it is under the name of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Culture, so it is better to use Chinese people.
Then just learn it by myself.
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 people 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 that mean?
Chen Xiao said he would do it himself. Does that mean, play better than him?
Thinking of this, Cong Gongming suddenly felt his blood pressure soar.
This is also Too much!
Too much!
Saying that his playing is problematic, that's fine, he admits it.
But Chen Xiao, who has only learned for a few years at most, actually claims that he plays better than him.
What's the difference between this and what netizens often say,"What a rubbish his acting is, I can do it too."
Respect him for being the chief director, respect him for his talent, he can't insult people like this!
Could it be?
Here's the organ!
If you can't play it, this feud will be 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 must be proficient in the organ if he said that. You play it for me, just as if you were guiding me, okay?"
Chen Xiao waved his hand,"Teacher Cong, you are too polite. How can you be worthy of the word guidance?"
Cong Gongming clenched his fists and tried to maintain his demeanor, but his voice was still two degrees colder,"Director Chen, play it for me, otherwise I will be very sorry."
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.
However, it's okay to play it for a while, just to try the feel of it.
"OK, I'll try it, please wait a moment."
The sound assistant looked a little panicked.
This scene is not right.
This is not just a question of whether or not, to play it you have to play it 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 perceptive assistant, he has 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.
