THE FILM
Anthony
Perrin, a French sports teacher invited by a school in China, thought he would
come and discover the country quietly. It is with amazement that he learns that
he will have to teach French to the students! Following a series of
misunderstandings, he finds himself having to, with the help of Jackie, the
sports teacher, defend the school's honor in a “pétanque” competition against
champions.
THE MUSIC
With this nice
comedy, I was able to create a very thematic score and make these themes evolve
with the plot. In particular a theme which represents the main character's
vision of China: first presented as stereotypical, then less and less
caricatured as Anthony discovers and understands the country. Also a theme
dedicated to Anthony, initially using melodica sounds, then being developed in
an increasingly orchestral way. There is also a love theme, a friendship theme
(using whistling sounds), and a team/competition theme.
