Chapter 321 Music World

Two programs, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, so there is still plenty of time.

The radio program Zhou Yan participated in recording in the morning was "Music World", the channel is 102.7FM, which belongs to the kiis-fm radio station.

kiis-fm is a commercial radio station authorized by Los Angeles, California, to broadcast to the Greater Los Angeles area, and their studio is located in Burbank.

The program content of "Music World" is relatively complex, belonging to the comprehensive music category, mainly preferring country and classical, and occasionally playing some rhythm and blues.

The reason why Zhang Youan chose this program is also because the musical aesthetics of their program is more suitable for Zhou Yan.

There are some rock-oriented programs that invite Zhou Yan, but Zhang Youan did not agree to any of them. Although Zhou Yan has a song "yellow", it is impossible to talk about this song all the time on the show.

Moreover, the popular rock in North America is not the same as the style of "yellow".

The host of "Music World" is a girl in her twenties with a slightly hoarse voice, named Jennifer.

Although she was a radio host, Jennifer did not neglect her dressing. As soon as Zhou Yan entered the radio studio, he was dazzled by Jennifer's exaggerated makeup and clothes.

Jennifer wore a colorful short dress, which was a bit tight. She was a little fat, so it could hardly cover her body, and half of her buttocks were exposed.

Her face was covered with thick smoky makeup, and it was hard to see what she looked like.

If he saw a woman dressed like this on the streets of Los Angeles, Zhou Yan would not be surprised, but it was a bit strange to see a radio host like this.

Other people in the radio station were dressed very normally, only Jennifer was different.

"Mr. Y, welcome to "Music World"."

Jennifer greeted Zhou Yan politely. Before the show started, they would spend some time to get familiar with each other and then check the program flow.

After a brief chat, Jennifer smiled and said, "I'm so happy to know that you can come to "Music World". You may not know that I am a super fan of yours. Your music is what I listen to the most in the past six months."

"Thank you for your support." Zhou Yan smiled.

However, he did not take Jennifer's words to heart. He just thought that the other party was being polite. As a host, this is a very common way of speaking.

Especially some female hosts, when they meet male guests, they will set themselves up as a fangirl, because most male guests really fall for this.

But what Zhou Yan did not expect was that Jennifer really talked about Zhou Yan's music seriously.

"Your new album "Rain Bells" gave me a great shock. Although we have heard some of the music in it before, the instrumentation in this album is very interesting. For example, in "People Like You", you used..."

Once Jennifer started talking, she couldn't stop. She quickly analyzed the songs in "Rain Bells", and she was very professional.

If it was just like this, Zhou Yan would think that Jennifer had done some homework in advance, which was not surprising.

After all, it is easy to find the analysis of these songs. Jennifer can find these analysis articles in advance and memorize them.

But after analyzing "Yu Lin Ling", Jennifer actually analyzed the song "Yong Ye" again, and even talked about some professional content such as harmony and texture.

Zhou Yan showed a surprised expression when he heard Jennifer say this.

These things cannot be remembered simply by memorizing them. If you want to talk about them to this extent, it means that she must have studied classical music.

Some professional terms, if you are not a student of this, you can't understand what they mean.

Although Zhou Yan has not been on many programs, he has also come into contact with some TV and radio hosts, and Jennifer is definitely the most professional host in music among the hosts he has come into contact with.

In such a radio station, and Jennifer's dress is so strange, which gives Zhou Yan a strong sense of contrast.

Perhaps, it is because Jennifer has such professional music knowledge that she was not fired by the radio station.

But on the other hand, it may be because she dresses so strangely that she was unable to work in those large TV stations. After all, with Jennifer's professionalism, she can definitely step onto some bigger stages.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Yan also had a new understanding of Jennifer.

He admitted that he had judged people by appearance just now, and even pessimistically thought that today's program would definitely be very bad because the host was unreliable at first glance.

But now it seems that Jennifer is a very reliable host, and there should be no problem with the program later.

Ten minutes later, both of them were ready and the program officially began.

After the director's room gave a gesture, Jennifer smiled into the microphone and said, "Welcome to "Music World". I am Jennifer. Before the end of the program yesterday, I announced that there will be a very important guest coming to our program today. I believe everyone has been waiting in front of the radio, waiting for his appearance. Now let us invite the famous musician, Y-Chou——"

Jennifer gave Zhou Yan a look, and Zhou Yan smiled and introduced himself to the microphone, "Friends in Los Angeles, good morning, everyone, I am Zhou Yan."

After hearing Zhou Yan's self-introduction, Jennifer said, "Zhou Yan is the pronunciation of Y-chou's Chinese name. When I first heard it, I thought it was Joey. We all know that Mr. Y is not only a very amazing musician He is also a very successful director. The recently popular movie "The Sixth Sense" is adapted from his movie. Of course, today we will not talk about "The Sixth Sense", but let's talk about another one first. The movie "Sense and Sensibility". Mr. Y served as the soundtrack for "Sense and Sensibility" and won the Oscar for Best Score this year. There is a song in it that I believe everyone is familiar with. "beautiful", a song that has been on the charts for many weeks.

After Jennifer finished speaking, the chorus of "Young and Beautiful" played on the radio, but it only played for about ten seconds before the song stopped.

The program is not long in the first place, so it would be a waste to spend time playing songs. It can only be played interspersed with the conversation like this.

"Mr. Y, can you tell us about the creation process of the soundtrack of "Sense and Sensibility"?" Jennifer asked.

Zhou Yan nodded and said, "I was very surprised when I received a call from An Li and invited me to be the soundtrack for "Sense and Sensibility" because I had never participated in the production of a Hollywood movie before. I am very interested in Hollywood movies. I didn’t know much about the production process, especially the soundtrack production process, so I was hesitant at first, and I was worried that I wouldn’t adapt to the Hollywood work model.”

"So what made you finally decide to take this job?"

"It's the sincerity of director An Li and the script of "Sense and Sensibility." I have read most of Jane Austen's novels, and "Sense and Sensibility" is certainly no exception, but I know that if I want to film The movie must not be made completely according to the original work, otherwise, there will be obvious gaps in the characters. Happily, Emma Thompson's script solved this problem very well, they..."

Zhou Yan talked seriously about the script of "Sense and Sensibility", and also talked about his inspiration for "People Like You" and "Young and Beautiful".

He attributed his inspiration for composing these songs to the script of "Sense and Sensibility". This explanation seems reasonable.

When Zhou Yan was talking, the director often played some clips from the soundtrack of "Sense and Emotion".

Their program team is relatively mature, the whole process is very smooth, and the director's response ability is also very strong.

After this interview is over, the next part is the audience question and answer session.

Zhou Yan vaguely asked if there was a script for this session, but Jennifer told him that the calls from the audience of "Music World" were real and random.

The first person to call was a middle-aged man with a rich voice and very polite voice.

He first expressed his love for Zhou Yan's music, and then said, "I particularly like the song "Don't Cry" sung by my sister Marianne in "Sense and Sensibility". Do you have any previous works of the same type?"

Zhou Yan asked with a smile, "What do you mean by the same type?"

"This kind of choir-like song."

Hearing what the other party said, Zhou Yan touched his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Maybe my new movie "Spring of the Cowherd Class" can meet your needs."

Jennifer took the opportunity to introduce the information of "Spring of the Cowherd Class", "This is Mr. Y's latest film. The theme is education and music. It contains a large number of original music works. At this year's Berlin Film Festival, Mr. Y also This film won the Special Jury Prize. I have good news for everyone. This film will be released in the United States soon. I hope everyone can go to the cinema to support it."

I have to say that Jennifer is really dedicated and has made a lot of preparations in advance. All this information comes directly from her mouth without any need for small notes.

For a host, reaction ability is certainly important, but the most important thing is preparation and accumulation in advance. Whether the preparation is good or not is the key to distinguishing whether a host is professional or not.

In fact, Zhou Yan can also tell the information Jennifer said, but when this information comes from Zhou Yan himself, the taste changes. Especially the award-winning information, Zhou Yan himself said, inevitably seemed a bit boastful.

It is very appropriate for the host to say it.

Hearing Jennifer's explanation, the caller also laughed and said, "I am very happy to hear such good news. After the movie is released, I will definitely go to the cinema to support it as soon as possible."

Jennifer took advantage of the situation and added, "Attention for those who want to watch "Spring of the Cowherd Class", starting from today, for the next week, our program will draw a lucky viewer and give away two copies of the movie "Spring of the Cowherd Class" Even if the call doesn’t come in, as long as you make an effort to call, it will be recorded by our backend and you will have a chance to win the movie ticket.”

Hearing this, the audience asked: "Do I also have a chance to win movie tickets?"

Before Jennifer could speak, Zhou Yan spoke first, "Mr., please don't worry, even if you don't win the movie tickets, I will give you two separate tickets because you are the first one to connect with me today." audience."

Jennifer looked at Zhou Yan and blinked. This paragraph was not designed by them, but added by Zhou Yan himself. However, this paragraph added by Zhou Yan was quite effective for the program.

The connected audience was very happy to know that they could get movie tickets and said, "Thank you Y, I will always support you."

"Well, thank you sir, next..."

Time was short, of course they couldn't waste time on one audience, and soon connected the second audience.

The second audience who successfully connected sounded like a child, but she claimed to be a female college student.

"Y, do you have any plans to hold a concert in the United States in the near future? I have attended your concert before, and the process was very memorable."

"There is a concert, but the specific time has not been determined."

"Is it in Los Angeles?"

"The specific city has not been determined yet."

Jennifer said, "Please rest assured, this audience, our program will continue to pay attention to Mr. Y's concert information, and once there is progress, we will announce it on the program."

Zhou Yan also smiled, "Well, once the time and address of the concert are determined, we will tell "Music World" as soon as possible."

This paragraph was not in the previous design, and was added by the two of them temporarily.

Jennifer smiled. Y was so generous that he even made such a promise.

Getting first-hand information about Zhou Yan's concert is undoubtedly very beneficial to their program.

Although she doesn't know how the program's current ratings are, she knows from the gestures given by the director's studio that the ratings will not be bad.

They have been warming up for today's program for many days, and the audience knows that Zhou Yan will come to "Music World" today.

Now it seems that Zhou Yan's popularity in the United States is still very good. Although he is not as good as those well-known pop singers, he is far from being comparable to ordinary behind-the-scenes musicians.

Their program also interviewed some composers before, including some well-known film composers in the industry, but none of them are as topical as Zhou Yan.

Compared with those composers, Zhou Yan's advantage is that his works are wide-ranging, and there is also a bonus of movies.

Of course, there is another point that Jennifer believes is a huge advantage of Zhou Yan compared to other composers, that is, he looks really good.

Although Asian faces cannot squeeze into the mainstream aesthetics in the United States, Jennifer knows that there are still many people in Europe and the United States who like Zhou Yan.

Fair and clean, with clear lines, and most importantly, a nice temperament. (End of this chapter)
