Chapter 65

Listening to the knock on the door.

Su Yan put on the T-shirt he had just taken off again.

Who would knock on the door at this late hour?

Su Yan was still very cautious.

He looked through the peephole.

He saw a face that was very familiar to him!

“Katie?”

The person who just knocked on the door was Katie.

Su Yan quickly opened the door and pulled Katie in.

“Aren’t you supposed to be in San Diego now?”

This morning,

Katie and Su Yan had a contact.

She told Su Yan that she would have a concert in San Diego in the past two days.

After hearing this,

Katie slowly took off her coat.

Slowly He walked towards Su Yan.

Then he said softly

“San Diego is very close to Los Angeles, just over an hour by plane.”

Katie put her arms around Su Yan’s neck and answered Su Yan’s question.

“Sweetheart, I miss you.”

Katie’s eyes narrowed slightly and her breathing became heavier.

Su Yan also cleared the word”reason” from his mind…

For Katie, she can take advantage of Su Yan’s business trip to be with him. Meeting is enough.

Although Taylor has recognized Katie’s existence,

Katie can’t guarantee whether Taylor will get angry if she lives in Su Yan’s house.

At least.

Until the three of them have progressed to that level..Katie will still keep a safe distance from Taylor.

……

A summer morning in Los Angeles.

Not too cool.

On the contrary, when the sun comes out, people will feel muggy.

After yesterday’s activities.

At this moment, Katie was lying lazily on the bed

“Sweetheart, you were so awesome last night.”

After saying that,

Katie buried her face into the pillow.

She just wants to lie down lazily like this now.

“I’m going to Universal Studios in a while. Do you want to come with me? Katie heard this and shook her head.

She would have to catch a flight back to San Diego later.

“Sweetheart, I sneaked out”

“Even my agent doesn’t know what I do.”

“I have to rush to San Diego soon, and there is a concert tonight.”

Hearing this,

Su Yan was still a little touched.

Unexpectedly,

Katie took advantage of the break in the concert to come over and give him a gift.……

“Then I’ll take you to the airport”

“Well, thank you sweetheart.”

After the two of them packed up, they ate the breakfast sent by the hotel.

Su Yan’s employee Nick drove the two of them to the airport first.

After seeing Katie off, they drove to Universal Studios!

Universal Studios The headquarters is located in the Universal City Plaza.

It is a 36-story diamond-shaped skyscraper.

It is also the tallest building in the San Fernando Valley. The majestic building made Su Yan sigh.

It is indeed a century-old film company.

The background is indeed very deep.

Director Chris’s office is on the 23rd floor.

It is the animation department of Universal Pictures.

Under the leadership of the front desk staff,

Su Yan and the others quickly arrived at Director Chris’s office. They just opened the door.

Then I saw rows of Minion dolls.

They were placed on Director Chris’ desk.

“Sorry Su, I was dealing with something just now and couldn’t greet you in person.”

Chris said quickly.

Then he took a cup of coffee for Su Yan.

“Don’t worry about it, Director Chris”

“Let’s get down to business.”

Hearing this,

Chris sat back on his office chair.

Then he took out a silver-white remote control and pressed the button.

“After a beep sound, the curtains in the office slowly opened.

The large screen on the wall also opened.

In Chris’s office, there is a complete set of video playback equipment.

“I have prepared the demo, but there is a section with no sound at the end”

“That’s the part that needs an interlude.”

Director Chris explained the situation to Su Yan while pressing the fast forward button.

When the content on the screen finished playing, Su Yan had an idea in his heart. The part that Director Chris wanted Su Yan to score, This is where the movie ends. After Gru and Lucy get married. Everyone gathers for family fun.

“Because the song before this song is very soulful”

“Therefore, the following interlude needs to be changed into a different style”

“This allows the audience to leave the theater happy.”

In the American animated film market, there is an unwritten rule, which is to make the audience happy.

Therefore, whether it is Disney, Pixar, or

Universal Pictures, they spend the most time when making animated films.

The first thing to consider is the ending.

A family-friendly ending.

It can bring a good reputation to the movie!

It can also increase the box office.

Su Yan looked at the minions on the screen. He couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

His mind. There is already a song slowly emerging.

“Director Chris, I have some inspiration.”

“However, the last video you made needs some changes.”

Hearing this,

Chris couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

Is this an inspiration?

Although he had heard about Su Yan’s genius deeds on the Internet.

But… when he saw it with his own eyes, he still found it a bit incredible!

From Play the clip until Su Yan is deep in thought.

How long has it been?

Not even ten minutes.

Su Yan has already said that he has an idea.

“The clips themselves are improvised family fun scenes that can be changed at any time.”

Chris said.

Changes can be made before the movie is released.

As long as it can make the movie better.

It doesn’t matter.

“In that case, can you lend me the use of the recording studio?”

“Of course Sue”

“plz follow me. Director Chris replied excitedly.

In Su��When you speak out what you have on your mind.

He began to look forward to it in his heart.

I can’t wait to hear what kind of episode Su Yan plans to create.

……

The recording studio is in building 24.

It’s just above the animation department.

What is set up here is the post-production department.

There are hundreds of animators, special effects artists, and editors working constantly. certainly.

Of course the sound department is indispensable.

Universal Studios recording studio.

It is usually used for dubbing cartoons.

Singers are occasionally invited to the studio to showcase their music.

Therefore, the equipment that a professional recording studio should have.

It has it all

“Over here, this room is empty”

“In other houses, they are doing dubbing for animation and other projects.”

Director Chris took Su Yan to the innermost recording studio.

“You can use the equipment here as you like”

“I need to talk to the producer and music director. After all, I don’t have the final say on this matter.”

Su Yan nodded.

After all, we are in the Hollywood crew.

It is not the director’s responsibility.

Many times we need to communicate and negotiate with the producers and heads of other departments.

This can also ensure the lower limit of the film to the greatest extent.

Of course.

Most of the time, producers and heads of various departments still have to listen to the director’s opinions. Director

Chris left the recording studio.

Su Yan did it in the production room.

He made the melody in his mind step by step. out

……

Outside the production room.

Except director Chris. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

There is also an elderly white man. and a blond woman in business attire.

“Mr. Hans Zimmer, do you believe anyone could make an episode in an hour?”

The person who spoke.

It was Miranda. She is the voice actress of Margot in the”Despicable Me” movie.[] same.

She is also a producer on the film crew.

And Mr. Hans Zimmer in her mouth.

He is the musician who has produced classic soundtracks for many movies.

For example,”Interstellar”》，《Inception》，《”The Lion King” and”Pirates of the Caribbean” and so on… of course.

In the American market, there are not always well-made movies for him to score.

Such a master.

Occasionally, I will also receive some soundtracks for animated movies. so.

His current identity.

He is the music director on the set of”Despicable Me 2″.

It’s also because the music he usually plays is majestic and atmospheric music.

After encountering the family-friendly soundtrack.

It left him a little confused.

He tried to compose several pieces of music, but the effect always felt a little less interesting.

“It’s hard to tell”

“I remember when I was doing the score for Interstellar”

“Suddenly inspiration came to me”

“Then in less than an hour, its melody was completed.”

Having said this,

Hans Zimmer looked at Su Yan inside the glass door.

Then he continued

“As long as there is inspiration”

“The production process depends entirely on whether you are skilled in the operation.”

Chris and Miranda on the side heard Hans Zimmer’s words.

They both nodded in understanding.

Time passed by.

About an hour after Su Yan entered the production room, he greeted the three people outside the door to come in..

It’s not that Su Yan didn’t finish the production.

It’s that Su Yan couldn’t find the hard drive after searching for a long time.

So he could only listen to it in the production room.

Fortunately, the production room also has speakers.

“Sue, let me introduce you.”

“This is our music director, Mr. Hans Zimmer”

“This is our producer Miranda!”

“Everyone, this is Sue!”

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Hans Zimmer, Ms. Milan”

“So are we,.”

Su Yan shook hands with the two of them. He was still a little surprised.

He didn’t expect that when he came to score”Despicable Me 2″, he would meet the master of scoring in the film industry-Hans Zimmer.

“Have you finished production now?”

Hans Zimmer asked.

Su Yan didn’t say much.

Instead, he played the music directly.

Along with the piano’s accent, the drum set sounded. After repeating two beats, the trumpet’s The sound of voice and saxophone also sounded.

It was a bit disco.

Hans Zimmer couldn’t help but open his eyes.

Then he couldn’t help but nod his head along with the rhythm.

When the accompaniment slowly fell,

Hans Zimmer drummed. He applauded.

He very much approved of the accompaniment of this song produced by Su Yan!

“It’s incredible”

“Just the accompaniment, you will find this song very humorous”

“But, match the lyrics on your computer”

“You will find this song very inspiring again!”

“my God!”

“Unexpectedly, I could see such a novel design?”

It’s not just Hans Zimmer.

Director Chris and Miranda also applauded.

The accompaniment of this song is really just right.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Su Yan said politely.

Hans Zimmer spread his hands.

He looked like he was arguing with reason.

“Oh, Sue, you don’t have to be modest!”

“To be honest, before I met you, I thought you were a puppet hyped up by capital.”

“But now it seems that your success is no accident”

“At least, your songs are very suitable for the North American market. There are many people who believe in God here.”

“Should your song be called disco or gospel?”

Gospel music.

It is a major category of North American music.

It is mainly music created by believers who believe in God when they sing praises to God.

Su Yan paused the music.

Then he asked

“Can we call it gospel disco?”

The three people at the scene knew that Su Yan was joking.

After all, in the current market, there is no such thing as gospel disco.

“Okay, let’s not dwell on this issue”

“Let’s talk about how we should cooperate next.”

The person who spoke was Miranda.

As the producer of the crew, she was the person with the most authority to say this.

The four of them were no longer standing.

They came to the sofa in the listening room and sat down one after another.

“Let me first tell you my opinion.”

Hans Zimmer spoke first.

The three people looked at him one after another.

“In terms of quality, there is nothing wrong with this song”

“Moreover, to use it as an interlude in a movie, you only need to have the minions dub it.”

“The problem is that when the minions sang this song, the audience didn’t know what the song meant.”

“It will be a show……”

Hans Zimmer as the soundtrack master.

The problem was immediately apparent. indeed!

This song is going to be used in a movie.

Sing it for the Minions!

As we all know, the minions can only speak bala bala…

The audience can easily not understand, what is being sung?

After a while of silence.

Chris suddenly had an idea!

“Hey, please spread your thoughts”

“What if this song had become a hit in North America before”Despicable Me 2″ was released?”

“Will the outcome be different when the movie is released?”

Chris’ words seemed to remind Miranda

“Three days later!”

“Universal Studios will kick off its annual summer carnival”

“By then, hundreds of thousands of tourists will come to Universal Studios every day.”

“We can add Su’s performance to the evening performance.”

Miranda is assured of Su Yan’s ability to perform live.

That’s why she dared to propose such an idea.

“good idea”

“With Su’s influence, this song should cause quite a shock when it appears in front of the public.……”

Director Chris shouted in surprise. indeed.

I want the audience to feel happy when they see the movie!

We must first make Su Yan’s songs popular all over the Internet. certainly!

All this is based on one major premise!

That is… this new song produced by Su Yan.

Excellent enough.

Only in this way can it explode.

“I agree with this plan.” Su Yan was very concerned about the quality of the song. So, he immediately agreed to the idea. Afterwards, the two parties discussed the remuneration.

“Performance fee 1.2 million US dollars”

“Song promotion royalties, US$1.4 million”

“The division of the episode……”

“According to the market price, it is 15%”

“In other words, for a movie with a box office of 100 million U.S. dollars, you can divide it into about 1.5 million U.S. dollars.”

“Of course, the copyright of this song still belongs to you.”

Miranda, as a professional producer, discussed the remuneration with Su Yan.

The share ratio was in line with Su Yan’s expectations.

In Su Yan’s impression

《The movie”Despicable Me 2″ will eventually gross $1 billion at the box office.

That is, relying solely on box office share.

Su Yan can get 15 million US dollars!
