I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad - Chapter 526

Chapter 526 524.BELLACIAO (33)

To put it simply, Liu Zhishi heard what Li Minnian said, and Li Minnian heard what Chen Chuhe’s manager said, and Chen Chuhe’s manager saw it with his own eyes.

According to Liu Zhishi, what Li Minnian told her was that the relationship between Tang Yan and Qiu Ze was progressing very quickly, and it was almost a semi-public affair in the crew.

Actually, Tang Yan was not a real friend to the two of them.

Even if everyone started from Paladin III, the friendship didn’t last after all.

Tang Yan and Hu Jian have a very good relationship.

Because of that text message, Yang Mi has always kept her distance from Hu Jia, so naturally, those people in the Immortal Sword crew who have a good relationship with Hu Jia, her friendship is very average.

But no matter how ordinary the relationship is, there is a fetter in the end.

The two women got together to gossip, and many things popped up unconsciously.

So much so that the conversation got excited, and the second bottle was also drunk.

A full dozen will count as one bottle per person.

Yang Mi is actually fine, slightly drunk.

But Liu Zhishi’s drinking capacity is already too much for her.

It’s okay if you can’t walk, so just sleep here.

It’s just a matter of an empty room.

By the time she settled Shishi, the two little ones had already been lulled to sleep by Xu Xin, who didn’t know when she had finished her work.

Yang Mi hiccupped, feeling relieved and regretful at the same time:

“It’s a pity… I haven’t left yet, otherwise I will be so considerate to you, and the two of us, high and low, will have to flirt with each other for a while.”

“… Can you restrain your rogue virtue after drinking?”

Xu Xin looked helpless.

“Hurry up and take a shower, and then go to bed.”

“Hey, can I tell you something?”

“Don’t listen, I’m really tired and need to sleep.”

Xu Xin slammed into the bed with an impatient expression on his face.

“About Tang Yan.”

“Bao!”

He turned around and opened his eyes:

“explain!”

“Cut, do your best. Don’t talk about it, I’m in a bad mood.”

Yang Mi turned her head and turned directly into the bathroom.

It’s the third day since I came to relatives, and I can take a bath.

But she had just entered the bathroom, her hair was still half dry, Xu Xin walked in again after taking a shower:

“Female benefactor~ hehehe…”

“…Why are you such a badass.”

Knowing that he came to listen to gossip, Yang Mi looked disgusted:

“Tang Yan is in a relationship with an actor named Qiu Ze.”

“Conceived before marriage?”

“…No.”

“Qiu Ze began to rebel and finally abandoned?”

“No… By the way, do you know who Qiu Ze is?”

“I don’t know. Then these two people turned against each other?”

“Brother! I’ve only just met, and I’ve just started talking about it. What nonsense are you talking about?”

Yang Mi’s face was completely speechless.

But Xu Xin froze for a moment, and said:

“That’s it? Tang Yan fell in love with this actor? … It’s gone?”

“It’s gone, what’s the matter? I also hold an anti-three vulgar meeting for you?”

“cut.”

Xu Xin turned around and left with his mouth curled.

What the hell.

A waste of emotion.

“Hey, I have something to tell you.”

“Do not listen.”

“About Shishi and why I’m so happy today.”

“Isn’t Shishi leaving the Tang people? You just finished talking.”

“I didn’t instigate it… Do you want to hear how she and Mr. Cai quarreled?”

When Xu Xin said this, Xu Xin walked out of the bathroom.

But after she finished speaking, Xu Xin walked in again in a hurry.

He even took off his pants:

“Hey hey hey… the female benefactor~~~”

“Tsk…”

Yang Mi shook her head helplessly.

Dog man, you know I can’t use it, but you’re jealous of me, right?

…

Anyway, this night, Xu Xin listened to gossip a lot, and Yang Mi ate a chicken wing by the way. Then the couple slept happily until dawn.

Next, he stayed in Yanjing for a week.

Mainly dealing with “Bite of the Tongue”.

Frequently held meetings to determine the shooting content, select the copywriting team, and formulate the shooting plan.

One week was almost nine to nine 007. After a very busy week, with a feeling of exhaustion, he set foot on the plane to Xi’an again.

During the two days of the talent center celebration, Xu Xin and Zhu Huailiang finally settled on the final editing plan, and in the past few days, Lao Zhu completed the editing of the film.

Xu Xin was interrogated in the past.

On the morning of the 11th, when Xu Xin arrived at the factory, he found that not only Zhang Mo was in the editing room, but also Qi Lei, Tian Shuanghe, Sun Xinkai and other department leaders of Xiying Studio were also there.

Obviously all came for “The Hawthorn Tree”.

And Xu Xin’s first sentence after meeting was:

“What do you guys think?”

“I haven’t watched it yet, isn’t it waiting for you to come together?”

What Qi Lei said with a smile made Xu Xin startled, and then quickly shook his head:

“How embarrassing…I’m sorry, leaders, I’m late.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Tian Shuanghe held a teacup in his hand and pointed to the next door:

“Since everyone is here, let’s go to the screening hall.”

As they spoke, everyone began to walk into the small projection hall next to the editor.

After entering the room, Tian Shuanghe pointed at the sofa:

“Xiao Xu, sit there, let’s chat.”

“okay.”

So, the two sat in the best seats.

While waiting for Zhu Huailiang to turn on the show, Tian Shuanghe handed over a good cat and said to Xu Xin:

“The soundtrack team has been found, you can see if it works in a while, let’s hurry up.”

“Ok, I know.”

Venice Film Festival is generally held in mid-September, registration ends at the end of July, and the shortlist is announced at the end of August.

So theoretically speaking, as long as the editing can be completed this time, if the soundtrack is faster, it will be submitted in time for review.

“If it’s too late, isn’t there a golden bear?”

Hearing what Xu Xin said, Tian Shuanghe asked with a smile:

“Have confidence?”

“Actually, that’s it.”

“Then give it a try…Although the quality is still the first, if you can catch up, then work hard. After all, winning awards before the release is much stronger than winning awards after the release. So the factory contacted a lot this time. Mister, there is strength in numbers~”

Xu Xin nodded:

“Understood.”

Then, the projector was turned on and the curtain fell.

After Zhu Huailiang imported the video into the computer, he clicked play.

Because there is no beginning and no reason to submit for review, so there is no dragon mark and the previous things for the time being.

The first scene is a fixed shot. In the shot, a group of people line up with their luggage and wait to get on the bus.

And everyone locked on Liu Yifei who was in the crowd at a glance.

Those men and women crowded together, and Liu Yifei kept a distance of about two fists from this group of people.

Eyes full of timidity and anxiety.

“Hmm… not bad.”

Xu Xin heard Tian Shuanghe’s approval.

He smiled slightly.

Don’t worry, Liu Yifei’s performance is not limited to these.

Look back and you will know.

…

The edited film of “Love in the Hawthorn Tree” is 104 minutes long.

Counting the opening and ending credits added later, the total duration is about 110 minutes, which is quite satisfactory.

After watching the 104 minutes without speeding up for a second, when the film was frozen in the scene of the blooming hawthorn tree, Tian Shuanghe didn’t say a word.

He said nothing, and neither did the others.

I just recalled the temperament exuded by the whole film in my mind.

Very unique temperament.

Very clean.

is particularly beautiful.

Although the final ending is sad…

But there is still a refreshing feeling.

The main reason is that the filming is too quiet, and the overall style does not show a little bit of anxiety or ups and downs.

It’s like a quietly flowing stream.

Peaceful and soothing.

However, all the story trends are buried in this sense of tranquility. When people see the final tragedy, the feeling that rises is not sadness, but a kind of… a touch of melancholy.

Yes, it is melancholy.

It’s a strange feeling.

It’s like… There shouldn’t be such a pure love in the world.

It’s so clean that it’s just as absurd as it should end in tragedy.

“…tsk.”

In the silent auditorium, Tian Shuanghe suddenly smacked his mouth.

“It feels a little too peaceful. The filming is very restrained and calm. This is my first feeling. But just now, I tried to add some conflicts to this story in my mind, such as those in the original book. But no matter how I think about it, it is a bit superfluous. Seems like it ended in this calm, and it’s good too…”

“Yes, that’s how I want to feel too.”

Xu Xin nodded:

“Clean, record a period of time. After all, whose youth has no regrets? But regret is also a kind of beauty. I don’t want to make it so sad, to earn other people’s tears… It’s not worth it, and it’s not worth it. So the whole The keynote is to go on calmly. Wrap up the unforgettable memories.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

No one else spoke.

Because what Mr. Tian feels is what they feel in their hearts.

Too clean.

This movie…

Clean Liu Yifei, clean Lin Xunxin.

The love between the clean Jingqiu and the third child.

Because it is too clean, it is not allowed in the world?

Is that what you mean?

After Xu Xin finished speaking, Qi Lei said from the side:

“Although I read the original book and the story developed until the third child appeared in the hospital, I knew that the story had a tragic ending in the end. But it ended in such a peaceful way…I kind of want a perfect ending , but if not, it’s not an unacceptable feeling… It’s quite strange.”

The same words were agreed by many people.

“Perhaps this is the charm of this movie.”

Tian Shuanghe responded, and then let out a chuckle:

“Ha~ It’s good as it is… Do you think there is anything else to modify?”

“Well…”

Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

“Let’s take this version as the standard first, and start to make the soundtrack. This soundtrack is simple. My initial idea was a variation of the song “BELLACIAO”. When I am happy, I use the normal tune. When I am sad, I can use Cello or flute… Everything in it is performed on the basis of the unique noun of that era-revolutionary friendship. This is my soundtrack idea. And there are a few places in this film that need to be added or subtracted. Research and study, and start over there at the same time.”

“No problem, let’s contact the actors to come over and dub.”

Tian Shuanghe gave an order:

“Hurry up, if you can catch up with Venice, as long as you are shortlisted, you are a victory. In Venice in the past two years, except for Lao Jia, there are very few people who have been shortlisted for our country’s films. Lao Jia always changes the soup without changing the medicine… It’s time for Xiao Xu to bring them some new surprises, don’t you think?”

The last sentence, he said to other people.

Everyone, including Qi Lei, nodded.

yes.

It’s time to let this…a film with a strange rhythm, but an extremely comfortable viewing experience, let those foreigners see the new look of Chinese movies.

…

《BELLACIAO》

This song is the earliest, it is an anti-FXS guerrilla folk song in Italy.

is used to express the mood of guerrillas leaving their hometown to fight.

The original author of the song is no longer available, and this song is famous all over the world because of the Yugoslav movie “Bridge”, but in fact, this song was also adapted from the movie “Bridge”.

This song is very classic, known as the second national anthem of Yugoslavia.

Popularity can be said to be worldwide.

Italian, Portuguese, German, French, Russian, and the Chinese version of “Goodbye, my friend”.

There are many versions, but the copyright is ownerless.

The reason why Xu Xin chose this song is that he especially likes the melody of this song. Secondly, this song is very suitable for the temperament of this movie.

In the end, the third child also left his beloved girl.

went to another world.

As for the idea of ​​the soundtrack, he also talked with the old man.

In his computer, he collected three versions of “BELLACIAO”.

One is the original Italian version, and the other is a more imposing Russian version.

and a Chinese version.

“Teachers, my favorite is this Russian version, which is more magnificent. But the degree of softness is not enough. The parting of the third child and Jing Qiu is divided into several stages.

The parting after everyone met in Qinglong Village is for a better future, including the segment of the educated youth going to the countryside when responding to the call, I want this magnificent feeling.

Want the momentum of a thousand sails competing for a hundred boats! Then in other stages, I divided the themes of the soundtrack into three categories, one is melancholy, one is light, and the last one is calm like flowing water…”

“It’s all about this song Huh?”

“Yes, because Jingqiu has a stage for chorus performances, human voices can be used here. But most of the time, I hope to express this feeling through music…”

In the conference room, not only the soundtrack masters from Xiying Studio, but also Lang Lang, Wang Sicong, Jay Chou, and Dao Lang were all sitting here.

“The Voice” is a break for the past two days, and I heard that Xu Xin has finished editing the film and started the soundtrack.

Several people came here with the mentality of helping Xu Xin.

After watching the 104-minute movie, when they were still immersed in that…sadness like running water, and the atmosphere that cannot be chased away, Xu Xin had already started to chat about the feeling of the soundtrack he wanted.

Different versions of “BELLACIAO” sounded from time to time in the entire meeting room, and compared to others, Jay Chou seemed to have some inspiration, and occasionally played a few notes with his hands on the table.

And the question just now was asked by Jay Chou.

After asking, he looked around, and suddenly said to Dao Lang:

“Mr. Dolan, we use a trio composed of cello, viola and guitar. What do you think? I think there are a few pieces where calmness is greater than sadness. So the cello sets the tone, the viola complements it, and the guitar is A touch of calm that dispels the melancholy atmosphere. The trio feels pretty good~”

His words are not only for Dolan, but also for other teachers here.

Although he is not a professional film soundtrack background.

But when it comes to the expressive power of music, he can’t be said to be the “superior” that overlooks the world, but he also has absolute self-confidence.

Can find out the feeling that friends want.

As for the others…

Then compare and see.

Competition, exchange, communication, integration.

Ah Xin’s movie is great.

He also wants to contribute his own strength.

In the world of music, whoever has the most ability speaks out.

And Lang Lang is not to be outdone:

“When advancing in time, the kind of sunny … under the lens of Liu Yifei walking, you can use the piano for the soundtrack. The lightness is like flowing water, the kind of da da da ~ monophonic loop, it seems lighter and playful… I can try it when I go home later, I think It should work fine.”

Hearing this, Wang Sicong looked around…

I began to curse in my heart.

I wouldn’t skip music class if I knew earlier.

By the way, I learned the clarinet when I was in elementary school…

I can play Titanic…

How about asking Lao Xu if he wants to try my clarinet?

In short, no matter what, after the director has clearly conveyed the feeling he wanted, the film soundtrack around the song “BELLACIAO” has entered the schedule.

In order to make it easier for Wheels and Lang Lang to “cheat”, Xu Xin specially copied a copy of “The Hawthorn Tree” to the CD, and when they returned to the villa, the two began to mess around.

As for Wang Sicong…

Well, I went to buy a clarinet.

In fact, it is easier to get a movie soundtrack with a fixed melody.

Now that the basic melody is in place, all you need to do next is to perform the effect the director wants through changes in instruments, rhythm, and music excerpts according to the needs of different scenes.

At least Lang Lang and Jay Chou collided, and there was spark between them.

From the time I returned home after dinner until almost 12 o’clock when everyone rested, the sound of piano and piano, piano and cello, piano and acoustic guitar never stopped.

The discussions never stopped.

But after all, Xu Xin didn’t listen to Wang Sicong’s “Titanic”.

Brother, you need to get the tune right before you come.

I heard hemorrhoids in my ears.

Xu Xin became so busy all of a sudden.

In the past few days, I have been either making soundtracks, or making soundtracks, or continuing to make soundtracks.

And it took two days to confirm the final edited version, and Xiying Studio went to submit it for review without stopping.

I have to admit one thing here, that is, the relationship in the factory is really hard.

It only took 4 days from submitting for review to getting the dragon label.

And there is no soundtrack at the same time, and some fragments of the audio track have not yet been dubbed.

Energy is evident.

After getting the dragon label, at the same time, the beginning and end of the film were also completed.

After Lao Zhu finished making the opening and ending credits, he handed over all the subsequent English work to Zhang Mo.

Zhang Mo, who has been staying up late and working overtime for several days, working on subtitles for the entire movie, started to work overtime again with dark circles under his eyes.

Xu Xin was not idle either.

Liu Yifei and Lin Gou arrived in Xi’an on the 12th.

After arriving in Xi’an, I plunged into the recording studio.

Start dubbing the movie.

The post-production of the entire film is actually a rather cumbersome process.

Start with editing and finalizing the film, and end with the end of the film.

At the same time, Liu Yifei’s lines also brought Xu Xin a new round of surprises.

She really took Xu Xin’s words to heart.

Or in the words of Wang Zhiwen.

During this period, I took the newspapers and magazines I subscribed to every day, and read them aloud in hours.

Read aloud, record, listen silently, correct.

So, when she opened her mouth to record her lines, she immediately brought Xu Xin a huge sense of surprise.

Compared to it…Lin Gou’s Mandarin is a bit too tortured.

Although the amount of lines is not much, and the mandarin is not standard, but compared with Liu Yifei, the gap is really quite big.

So, as a cousin, Wang Sicong, who had finally given up his recorder dream, stepped forward.

means to give lessons to the cousin.

Your lines are so good, you have the nerve to play Carl?

What do you mean 0/7/0?

Can you sleep well?

Sorry, I can’t sleep.

I must treat you instead of my aunt!

While Xu Xin was constantly calling, when the post-production of “The Hawthorn Tree” entered a new stage, Yang Mi also received a notice to join the group.

No. 22, Hengdian.

The crew of “Wulin Biography” officially started filming.

She is going to join the group.

The little young woman who was already idle at home yawned.

Fine.

After touching fish for half a month, it’s almost done.

Time to get down to business.

So, she found a number on the phone and dialed it.

“Hello, Mr. Qian, hey, hello, I’m Mimi.”

Holding up the phone, she said with a smile:

“The blind selection stage of “The Voice” is expected to end around the 18th, and the next time is the assessment within the tutor team. Yang Ying’s work is almost coming to an end. Look… Should we start too?”

After speaking, she listened for a while, smiled and nodded:

“Okay, then I will take her to visit you in Hunan, do you have time?”

“Well, okay, okay. Are you calling the screenwriter, or me?”

“Well, okay, then I will trouble you. See you on the 19th.”

“See you.”

The phone hung up, and she stretched herself.

“Yeah~~~~~~~uh!”

Moving her shoulders, she muttered:

“I’ve been lazy at home for so long, it’s time to be active.”

In the middle of the night, please ask for a monthly ticket

Owing: 7 more
