Chapter 382 I Can’t Hide It Anymore

Naturally, Wu Yuchen had already anticipated that this seminar, which would last for a month, would be subject to various criticisms, and he always maintained a calm attitude.

After watching them ask questions one by one, Wu Yuchen asked with a smile: "Are you finished? Then I will tell you my opinion."

Then his face turned serious: "First of all, let me express my opinion. It is absolutely impossible to play the recording! Don't even think about it! We China cannot afford to lose this face!"

Everyone knows about lip-synching. In fact, many grand conferences have lip-synching to prevent accidents. Taking the Spring Festival Gala as an example, lip-synching is already a well-known thing. In fact, the Olympic theme songs are not without lip-syncing, but the "Singing with a Fou" program must not involve recording, otherwise you will be ridiculed no matter how good your performance is.

"We should encounter difficulties when we host the Olympics. It would be unreasonable not to have difficulties! If we encounter difficulties, we will think of opportunistic methods and think about changing programs. What else should we do? If there are conditions, we must go to it. If there are no conditions, create conditions. Come on too!”

After Wu Yuchen finished speaking, the scene fell silent. Deputy director Zhang Jigang, who was born in the People's Army, answered: "Director Wu is right, this is the attitude we should have when hosting the Olympics!"

But then he changed his tone: "But Director Wu, we are at a certain stage now, and the questions everyone raised are reasonable and reasonable."

Wu Yuchen's face also relaxed and he smiled again: "Of course, the problems still have to be solved one by one. I will answer the questions you just mentioned one by one."

"First of all, what is a Fou? According to ancient records, the Fou is an earthenware vessel, so it holds wine pulp, and the people of Qin used drums to sing festival songs. Thousands of years ago, human beings first covered the jars used to hold things with leather and beat them for fun. . As a result, the fou gradually began to function as a musical instrument in addition to being a container.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, during grand banquets, people often used this kind of bronze wine vessel to drink. When they got excited, they would bang the full wine glass and sing loudly, especially when entertaining distinguished guests. This expresses the joy and encouragement of "having friends come from afar".

This is also the reason why Director Zhang and I decided to list this program as the first program! "

Most of the literate people present should understand this, but Wu Yuchen still needs to make it clear. The next step is the key point:

"We also conducted an investigation during the preparation stage of the plan, and it turns out that the fou is indeed lost. So what if it is lost? Can't we recreate it?"

Some people couldn't help but ask: "Reengineering? Then what standards should we follow?"

At this time, Lao Mouzi beside Wu Yuchen spoke: "This is a Warring States Bronze Ice Mirror unearthed from the tomb of Zeng Houyi in 1977."

As he spoke, he also called up the photo on the big screen. When everyone looked at it, they saw that the bronze was symmetrical and square, with eight small dragons trying to lean out and look around at the four corners and in the middle. Each dragon's head held eight pieces. It is an eaves-style copper decoration, and its legs are composed of four monsters with dragon heads and animal bodies. The dragon heads extend outwards, and the hind limbs of the animal body crawl on the ground.

The bronze ice mirror has numerous patterns criss-crossing it, and the cover is almost hollow. It is made of a full range of embossed interlocking patterns and panchi patterns. Whether it is the symmetrical atmosphere of the overall shape, the numbers in pairs, or the The intricate and exquisite decorations are full of beauty!

While everyone was watching, Lao Mouzi said: "We plan to use the Warring States Bronze Ice Mirror as a model, and then replace the lid of the fou with a drum skin to make the fou we want."

Someone immediately asked: "Is this still a fou?"

Wu Yuchen said directly: "Don't be stubborn when doing things, improve processing and innovate to create the new era fou we need. Why can't we do it? History is also created by people!"

Many people present whispered to each other. This Warring States Bronze Bingjian looks really impressive, and it is indeed handy, but what kind of sound should this fou make?

Wu Yuchen also knew what everyone was thinking and continued: "I will also set a standard. The sound we want is 70% drum-like and 30% metal sound.

When struck, it is like thunder, which can reflect the depth and weight of Chinese culture and at the same time give the audience a sense of shock!

As for how to do it, this is not something I have to consider, but something you have to consider. I don’t care whether you choose special materials, add a metal resonator inside, or design a special structure, that is all your business. I just want result! In half a year, I have to come up with the finished product! "

After hearing what Wu Yuchen said, no one dared to object anymore. Wu Yuchen had already made it very clear at the beginning, if you have difficulties, just overcome them. If you can't do it, then you might as well just pack up and leave!

In the previous life, it was not easy to make this fou. After 26 large-scale experiments, at least 4 different fou were made each time, and the sound and appearance were constantly adjusted. Finished products, semi-finished products, and scraps were made. A total of 2,200 were made before finally making it. The fou was sold to Lao Mouzi's satisfaction, achieving the perfect combination of the sound of drums and the sound of metal and stone.

"Although it is a bit difficult for 2008 musicians to perform together, it is not impossible. It does not require a professional drummer."

As he spoke, Wu Yuchen looked at Zhang Jigang from the People's Army: "Director Zhang, I'll leave this matter to you. I believe our cutest person will be able to do this well!"

Zhang Jigang also smiled when he heard this: "Director Wu, don't worry, our People's Army may not have much artistic talent, but we can endure hardship! If you can't practice it a hundred times, just ten thousand times! We can definitely achieve consistent steps and uniform movements. Guaranteed to get the job done!”

The people who had questions before all shut up now. There is no doubt that the People's Army is perfect in this regard!

Wu Yuchen smiled and nodded, and then continued to talk about the "beating drum and singing" percussion action, elegant chanting, production cost and other issues.

In fact, he had a general impression of this "beating drum and singing" action. It was a kind of action that was created after countless denials and was jokingly called "knife-cut noodles beating method", but now Wu Yuchen will not go up to give personal instructions.

To be honest, Wu Yuchen has saved a lot of effort for the Olympics. For example, the program of "beating drum and singing" in the previous life, from the beginning of the plan discussion, the shape of the drum and other aspects could not be determined, and it was not until 2008 that the real Olympic drum was manufactured.

With him in this Olympic preparation, there will definitely be fewer detours, but he will not do many things himself. He must increase everyone's sense of participation, otherwise he will do everything alone. First, he will be exhausted, and second, won't it make the people below look incompetent? Letting people do it themselves will give you a greater sense of accomplishment.

This is what a leader does. You have to give full play to the subjective initiative of the people below you. As the chief director, he has to be responsible for the general direction. Some difficult problems can be reminded at critical moments, which is almost enough.

Not to mention the production cost, which is not something to consider. The Olympic Games itself has sufficient funds. In addition, this kind of bronze ware looks complicated, but it is really not expensive to make molds for mass production with modern automated production technology. It only costs a few thousand yuan per piece.

In the previous life, the cost of this Olympic jar was 4,000 yuan each. One year after the Olympics, 1,500 pieces were auctioned and sold for 120 million yuan, which is equivalent to 80,000 yuan each, a 20-fold increase.

In this way, this plan discussion meeting lasted for a month, which was equivalent to the new team going through the entire plan from beginning to end again, and this time the discussion was much more detailed. And Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi also dealt with various problems.

With Wu Yuchen here, the current situation is much better than the situation that Lao Mouzi faced in his previous life. On the one hand, Wu Yuchen can calm everyone down, so there are fewer doubts. On the other hand, he knows what the final effect of the program will be, knows the correct direction, and can naturally give answers and make reasonable and effective commands.

A month passed slowly. After the discussion that day, Wu Yuchen pulled Lao Mouzi aside:

"Brother Zhang, the first round of our discussion on this plan is almost over. Next month I have to promote "Batman". In the next period of time, you will be responsible for the overall situation of the Olympics. Call me if you have anything."

"No problem!" Lao Mouzi also agreed happily. Although it was smoother with Wu Yuchen, Lao Mouzi unconsciously kept a low profile. This time when Wu Yuchen was away, he could play more.

Wu Yuchen was also very confident in Lao Mouzi. The two of them could complement each other and discuss. When Lao Mouzi wanted to shoot a movie, he would come back to host.

He also heard from Zhang Weiping that he wanted to make a palace-themed movie and ask Gong Li to play the role of the empress. Haha, isn't this "Curse of the Golden Flower"!

When thinking of this movie, the first thing that comes to mind is the line "The chrysanthemums are withered, the ground is full of wounds...", and the melody has already come to mind. I just don't know if Zhang Weiping will ask Jay Chou to play again this time.

In the previous life, the two Zhangs had not broken up yet. For the sake of box office, Zhang Weiping forced Jay Chou to Zhang Weiping. In fact, the script was already written at that time, and there was no role for Jay Chou at all. For him, the script was changed crazily at the last minute, and Huang Xuan was replaced because of this.

Those who have seen "Thunderstorm" know that "Curse of the Golden Flower" is the ancient palace version of "Thunderstorm". From the perspective of drama, Cao Yu's original work "Thunderstorm" is already exciting enough: the characters are distinct, the dramatic conflicts are fierce, the love and hatred between the two families lasted for thirty years, and there are also two stories that violate morals. It can be said that it is difficult to change it in any way, and Xiao Zhou's acting skills really can't support this role, which also led to the movie being criticized after it was released.

So that when people mentioned this movie later, only "Chrysanthemum Withered" and "Big Bun" were left...

There was also "Three Guns Surprise", which was also Zhang Weiping's insistence on forcing Xiao Shenyang to join the group as the protagonist. At that time, Lao Mouzi was very resistant, but Zhang Weiping was crazy PUA Lao Mouzi, saying that you can be the chief director of the Olympics because I have good connections and resources to choose you, otherwise why would you be chosen for your black 8 minutes?

Then Lao Mouzi really believed it, and pinched his nose to let Xiao Shenyang be the protagonist because he hadn't started work for two years for the Olympics. The result is an indelible black spot! Lao Mouzi just ascended to the altar because of the Olympic Games as a national teacher, and then he made "Three Guns", a shockingly bad movie.

Some people may find it strange that Xiao Shenyang has such a big influence? Because Zhang Weiping is there, Xiao Shenyang's show becomes a comedy, because everyone likes his comedy style at that time. So the entire playwriting team became mainly composed of screenwriters from the Zhao Family Class. There was no other way because the leading actor was Xiao Shenyang and the play had to be written for him in his style. As a result, "Three Shots" turned into a farce.

I don't know if Lao Mouzi will make the movie "Three Guns" by Wu Yuchen. Anyway, he will definitely not let Xiao Shenyang be the leading actor. It's a mistake. However, the movie "The Golden Armor" did drive a lot of box office because of Xiao Zhou. If Lao Mouzi doesn't want to invite Xiao Zhou, then Miracle Pictures will have to be more cautious in investing in this movie and make more investments. Capital comes to share risks.

Wu Yuchen smiled and shook his head. These are all things in the future. Now he has roughly arranged things for the Olympics and can leave with peace of mind.

Just when Wu Yuchen was thinking this, he received a call from Li Xiaoran and hurried over.

After entering the door, Wu Yuchen saw Li Xiaoran sitting cross-legged on the sofa and couldn't help asking: "Sister Ran Ran, what's the emergency?"

Li Xiaoran turned to look at him: "I can't hide it anymore!"

"What can't be hidden anymore?" Wu Yuchen asked doubtfully.

"I have it."

"Yes?" Wu Yuchen was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately realized what Li Xiaoran meant.

Li Xiaoran pointed to the inspection report on the table: "Read it yourself."

Wu Yuchen picked up the report and took a look at it. After confirming the results, he immediately stepped forward and hugged Li Xiaoran, saying excitedly: "Sister! You are really pregnant! When did you find out, why didn't you tell me!"

"Just a few days ago, I felt a little nauseous. I went to check it out today and found out. Why are you so happy?"

"Of course I'm happy! How could I not be happy that I'm going to have a child? You don't want it?" Wu Yuchen asked immediately.

Li Xiaoran hummed, crossed his arms and said, "I thought you didn't want it. There are so many women out there, how do you explain it?"

Wu Yuchen hugged him quickly and said: "Hey, don't worry about what I say. I'll talk about it later when your husband comes down~"

At the same time, he also calculated in his mind that she had been pregnant for just three months. The calculation time was the time when he came back from watching "Fearless Fearless" with her during the Chinese New Year. At that time, he was too selfless in eating steamed buns and did not take any protection.

Li Xiaoran was very happy when she heard this. She was really worried before, thinking about what she would do if Wu Yuchen didn't want her anymore, but she felt relieved after hearing the other party's attitude. However, he said arrogantly:

"It's easy to say, but it's not you who gave birth. You will feel sick and have a big belly. You won't know what your figure will look like after giving birth. It's still so painful. It's me who is in pain!"

Wu Yuchen immediately hugged Li Xiaoran and coaxed and kissed him.
