Chapter 1241 "The Last Emperor"

"You know, I have a good relationship with the film industry, so I often have the opportunity to attend parties in the film industry. At a recent party, someone asked me to make a soundtrack for his new film." David Byrne held said the glass.

"Oh? Congratulations, remember to give me a few invitations when the movie premieres." Shen Long thought that David Byrne wanted to share his joy with him, so he raised his glass and clinked with him, congratulating him by the way .

"No, no, you have to get the invitation yourself! In fact, after I learned about the content of this movie, I felt that you are the most suitable composer for this movie." David Bai En shook his head again and again.

"Uh, what kind of movie is it? That director's work?" Shen Long suddenly thought of the name of a movie, shouldn't it be that one? If it is, then you should really take care of it.

"Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci's work, his previous love film "Last Tango in Paris" with Marlon Brando, Maria Schneider, etc. won the 46th Academy Award for Best Director Nominated, nominated for best director in the 31st American Golden Globe Awards; previously won the Berlin Golden Bear Award for "Love and Fury", and other works have also been widely praised by film critics. He is an outstanding director. "

"The name of the movie is "The Last Emperor", and the director is going to tell the life of Puyi, the last emperor of China, so I thought, since it is a story that takes place in China, it would be great if you were in charge of the soundtrack." David - Byrne introduced the story and director of the movie.

Sure enough, it is exactly what I thought. This is indeed a good opportunity. Shen Long nodded slowly, "Why don't you go? You also know a lot about music from all over the world. I think you should be qualified for this job, right?"

"I can't compare to you in my understanding of Chinese music." Speaking of this, David Byrne couldn't help scratching his ears, and he recalled his fear of being dominated by suona, "I might Responsible for part of the soundtrack creation, mainly the western part, and I need a composer who is familiar with oriental music to cooperate with me.”

"Well, if we have time, we can chat with Mr. Bernardo Bertrucci." If all goes well, we can go back to the capital again. We must know that this movie was filmed in the Forbidden City.

"Then, let's make a deal. Mr. Bertlucci is in New York now, and I'll make an appointment for you later." David Byrne had achieved his goal. He drank the wine in his glass and jumped onto the temporary On the stage built, he sang his best songs.

Shen Long continued to walk among the crowd with his wine glass in his hand, and then saw Li An who was out of his mind. Presumably, he saw Shen Long's success, and then thought that he had not achieved anything for so many years, so he felt a little sad, right?

Came to sit opposite him and had a drink with him. Shen Long felt that he might use this opportunity to help Ang Lee, so he repeated what David Byrne said to himself just now, "I know you are in the movie He is very talented, but he lacks opportunities, Bernardo Bertelucci has a lot of influence in Hollywood, if you can get to know him, maybe you can find opportunities."

"So when David makes an appointment for me, let's go meet Bertrucci and see if we can help you find a job in the crew! Although I definitely can't be a director, the assistant director may be Hopefully, the theoretical knowledge you have accumulated at New York University is enough, and it is just right to add some practical experience to the crew."

Bernardo Bertrucci's name, Ang Lee, has been heard many times, and he also studied his film works when he was at home.

Li An still recognized the director's strength, so after Shen Long said it, he hesitated a little and agreed. This is indeed a good opportunity.

As Shen Long said just now, even if it is just going to the set to gain some experience, it can also bring some income to the family, so that Lin Huijia will not have to bear all the expenses on himself.

"It's just that if the trip goes smoothly, you and I will leave New York for a while, Hui Jia won't blame me, right?" Seeing Li An's brows starting to relax, Shen Long joked with him.

"Haha, it's too late for her to thank you!" Li An's eyes were a little red. To be honest, Lin Huijia has borne all the expenses of the family without complaint and regret in these years, so that he can continue to polish his ability and finally work in the film industry. Career, now that the opportunity has finally come, how could she be angry?

"Then don't run around these few days, just stay at home and wait for the call with peace of mind!" Shen Long patted him on the shoulder, got up and went to connect with the next guest.

Running around? Li An shook his head. I have been staying at home all these years. I basically never go out except when selling vegetables. I will definitely not miss this crucial call for me.

"Mrs. Heinze, your hairstyle today is simply amazing...Mr. Hillbrand, this tie matches your temperament very well..." Shen Long dealt with the guests present familiarly, and was very dissatisfied Let no one be left out, try to make everyone feel valued and feel at home.

And Guo Yan also accompanied Lin Huijia, Ma Youcheng and other female guests. She also made great progress over the years; as for Ning Ning, she is now playing with her friends in the garden. I can't even look down on that little bastard in the TV series.

In a cheerful atmosphere, this party ended smoothly. Shen Long took Guo Yan and Ning Ning to see off all the guests at the door. The mess has been cleaned up. Such a big event must be handled by a special company, and they can't handle it alone.

The next day, the house completely returned to normal. Shen Long continued to concentrate on practicing and composing music at home, while Guo Yan returned to visit the neighbors who came to cheer yesterday with a small gift.

David Byrne moved very quickly. On the third day, he called Shen Long and made an appointment to meet Bernardo Bertelucci at a time and place.

Shen Long hung up the phone and called Ang Li, "Mr. Bertrucci asked me to meet this afternoon. You pack up and wait at home. I will pick you up at five o'clock in the afternoon."

At the appointed time, Shen Long appeared at the door of Li An's house. Li An looked a little nervous, not at all the calm temperament of a great director in the future. Shen Long comforted him and restarted the car.
