Chapter 438 The Pianist

"It's a certainty, how can you think too much?"

Gao Shuang retorted dissatisfiedly, and then said mysteriously: "There is something I haven't told you."

He Xiaoling asked vigilantly, "What's the matter?"

With such a reaction, it's no wonder that He Xiaoling's vigilance was heightened, Gao Shuang didn't do anything surreptitiously.

The longer you hide, the bigger things will be!
Like Gao Shuang's buying a car and buying a house, these things were cleared up on the same day, which scared her half to death.

As for the preliminary preparations for the next movie, I don't know how long it took to plan without any news.

Hundreds of millions of funds, I didn't tell her until the call, when the company almost lost its anger!
Not only He Xiaoling was frightened, but even Ye Anlei, who had seen too many storms and waves, was too shocked to speak.

I made several phone calls with Gao Shuang to discuss, but in the end I still didn't let go of Gao Shuang's stubbornness.

Now that Gao Shuang suddenly said that there was something he hadn't told her, he inevitably felt a little uneasy.

Gao Shuang didn't seem to notice He Xiaoling's apprehension, and said a little secretly: "The school allows me to graduate early, and I will be able to do it after finishing this semester."

He Xiaoling, whose heart was already in her throat, froze when she heard this, then blinked, and asked blankly, "Graduate early? Why?"

Gao Shuang said with emotion: "I can't help it, I'm too genius, the school can't teach me anything..."

He Xiaoling rolled his eyes at him angrily: "You are not ashamed to say that! How can you praise yourself like this?"

Gao Shuang rubbed his hands and asked, "Hey, let's get married in the second half of the year."

He Xiaoling was frightened by Gao Shuang's unconstrained ideas again: "Ah? Get...married?!"

In her mind, it will take two or three years to get married.

Now being mentioned by Gao Shuang suddenly, I was surprised and delighted.

But which one is more, is unknown!

Gao Shuang said helplessly: "Yeah, I also graduated from university, thinking that I don't have much to do, why don't I have a baby to play with?"

He Xiaoling couldn't hide the smile on the corner of her mouth, and patted Gao Shuang's arm: "Why are you talking nonsense all day long! You're the only one who talks a lot!"

"Isn't this all about thinking in the long run! I bought this house for this reason, so as not to be caught off guard."

After Gao Shuang explained, he said solemnly to He Xiaoling: "After buying this house, please ask Aunt He to clean it up first. I'm going to Guangdong East tomorrow."

He Xiaoling looked at Gao Shuang and nodded, "Go ahead, I'll take care of you here in the capital."

Gao Shuang hugged He Xiaoling up, turned around and smacked her face twice: "Hey! I know Aunt He loves me the most."

He Xiaoling smiled and shook her body back, but she didn't try to avoid him deliberately: "Damn thing, I know that my aunt loves you, and I still scare my aunt all day long."

Gao Shuang embraced He Xiaoling, looking at the charming people in front of him, he couldn't help but said, "Hey, why don't we go upstairs again? Let's choose a master bedroom."

He Xiaoling didn't know his little thoughts, looked outside the room, and then said angrily with a blushing face: "Go away! Guo Rui and the others are still outside, auntie shame!"

Gao Shuang's hand couldn't help sliding down, and there was an amazing elasticity under the touch of light and thin meat, which made him a little distracted for a while: "Let's talk at night, talk at night!"

He Xiaoling pushed Gao Shuang away, and quickly tidied up the somewhat messy clothes.

Gao Shuang swallowed sharply, and then said: "I'll go through the formalities later, Aunt He, don't tell grandma, and pick her up to live with the old man after everything is packed."

After He Xiaoling rearranged the professional dress that had been turned up a bit, she turned her head and gave a pretty look: "Wait for your grandma to whip you!"

"That can't be."

……

After signing the contract with Liu Yan, and photocopied a bunch of documents, Liu Yan will handle the rest.

Gao Shuang's 5000 million cash has been transferred to Qian Gui's company.

Kong Lingxuan's house is listed in Qiangui's company to help sell it, so the process still needs to go through.

After everything was arranged properly, Gao Shuang dialed the number of Liu, the props team who built the ship in eastern Guangdong: "Hello? Liu!"

The sound of metal cutting could be faintly heard on the other end of the phone. Da Liu spoke loudly, and his tone was a little excited: "Director Gao, when will you come over? There are many problems here and no one has made up their minds."

"I'll be there early tomorrow morning."

Gao Shuang talked about the itinerary, and then asked, "Can you find a good transportation company here in the capital? I have a big item to be shipped to eastern Guangdong."

Da Liu asked curiously, "What?"

Gao Shuang glanced around and said, "A very expensive grand piano."

The piano is one of the most important props in his next movie. The original plan was to buy it in the nearest place in eastern Guangdong.

But today, this custom-made piano made him change his mind.

Even if he played all the way, Gao Shuang didn't dare to guarantee victory when facing the Qushen competition.

Although there is a gap in the level of music between the two worlds, it can be said that it is testing the peak intelligence of the human group when it reaches the level of competing for the music god.

You can't take it for granted that there is a gap in the peak level just because Earth is stronger than Blue Star's basic level.

After all, the average level of human beings is about the same, but such things as geniuses cannot be measured with common sense.

Of these song emperors who can participate in the song god competition, which one is not a genius?

The commonality of geniuses is that capable people cannot!

The creation of music is often linked to uncertainty.

Sometimes, if you get it by chance, you can become a legend through the ages. This is a fact that has been repeatedly confirmed in any world.

In the face of these blue star geniuses, Gao Shuang had to take into account the improvement of his own ability while receiving the blessing of the peak on the earth.

Music literacy and some basic skills must be supplemented as soon as possible to ensure nothing goes wrong!
Increasing one's basic level of music theory through piano practice is not as fast as adding points directly, but it can be regarded as a process of mastery.

For the next six months, he must have spent most of the time in eastern Guangdong.

Instead of letting this piano sit here to eat ashes, it is better to ship it directly to eastern Guangdong, so that it can be used for filming and practicing.

"If it's too expensive, it's safer to transport it by air, but the cost is too high and it's not worth it."

Da Liu thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be difficult to find a piano here in East Guangdong, right?"

Gao Shuang said boldly: "This violin is a bit special, and I have great use for it! If it is safe to transport it by air, it will be transported by air. The price is not a problem."

Seeing that Gao Shuang was concerned, Da Liu responded, "Okay, I'll contact a careful transportation company to find you."

"it is good!"

Gao Shuang said with satisfaction: "I'll send you the address and let the transportation company contact Director He."

……

Even though he was very reluctant to give up that night, he went back to the courtyard at home with Aunt He.

Early the next morning, Gao Shuang went out with a salute, and Guo Rui was already waiting at the door in his car.

Aunt He also came out with Gao Shuang. She told Gao Shuang a few homework, drove to the villa, and waited for the transportation company to come to move the piano.

Gao Shuang went to Beijing Airport with Guo Rui.

The two had just exchanged their boarding passes when they saw Wu Hao in the lounge.

Wu Hao was specially called by Gao Shuang. When he saw Gao Shuang from a distance, he greeted him: "Director Gao!"

Gao Shuang saw that Wu Hao's eye circles were a little dark, and he looked like he was still asleep, and asked with a smile, "When did you come here?"

Wu Hao smiled foolishly, and seemed to be very sincere: "It will be here before dawn."

With the popularity of "Kung Fu", Wu Hao, the male number two, also became popular.

Under the operation of the company, he has received a lot of variety shows and advertisements, and he already has the posture of a comedy star.

Coupled with his smoothness from the bottom of society, he has a good sense of variety, and his popularity is increasing day by day.

These days, it's not a bragging that variety shows are king. Stars with a sense of variety are popular everywhere.

So Wu Hao's number of announcements also increased steadily, and he became the top three busy people in the company.

To be honest, Gao Shuang hasn't seen anyone for a while.

Seeing this chubby face at this time, I felt very kind.

Gao Shuang sat down next to Wu Hao: "Have you read the script? This time, I will grab a scene first."

Wu Hao nodded quickly and said, "Looked at it!"

Gao Shuang asked, "How do you feel?"

"..."

Wu Hao was a little at a loss when asked this question.

He really read the script, but he couldn't find anything exciting.

To put it mildly, the content is too philosophical!
It looks more like a literary film than a commercial film...

I always feel that there is something missing in the script!
It is precisely the lack of this thing that makes the script lose its soul!
Seeing that Wu Hao was at a loss, Gao Shuang poked the fat on his stomach: "I'm asking you something..."

After all, Wu Hao is an ordinary person, and he made a movie with all his efforts. It felt a little bit reluctant for him to grasp his own point, so he could only say awkwardly: "Well, there's nothing to say about the plot, it just feels like something is missing."

"Oh... it should be because of the lack of music."

Gao Shuang didn't care about that.

He's going to use that boat to make "The Pianist at Sea" in his next film!
To be honest, this movie is a bit different, and it is even a bit out of place in a commercial film!

The story is very simple. It tells the story of an orphan who was abandoned on a steam ship, and was adopted by a kind furnace burner on the ship, and named 1900.

Unfortunately, the furnace worker died in an accident, and 1900, who was only a few years old, became an orphan again.

1900, who was accompanied by the piano on the cruise ship all day long, relied on his extraordinary talent to practice the piano skills without a teacher. Even the most famous jazz pianist at that time was willing to bow down.

But fate also made him naturally wary of the world of mortals, and he never dared to leave the boat and go ashore.

Until the end, after saying goodbye to his only friend, he was blown up along with the abandoned ship.

The whole story is limited to a boat, with a piano as the lead, but it tells the whole journey of a person from birth to death.

It was unprecedented on the earth at that time to apply this kind of narrative technique limited by time and space to commercial films!
And the director of this movie, Giuseppe Tornadore, according to Gao Shuang, is, this is a genius! ! !

Giuseppe Tornatore is a famous Italian director. Like James Cameron, Christopher Nolan and other famous directors, he always insists on independent thinking and careful creation in the creation of films.

Many years ago, when the great writer Marquez, who was famous all over the world for his masterpieces such as "One Hundred Years of Solitude", was still alive, he once said to Tonadore, who had just emerged at a young age: "When you want to tell a story, don't write it lightly. , you need to conceive more, think more, and when you think about it sufficiently and profoundly, complete it in a short time.”

The great writer's point made Tonadore deeply agree, and he practiced it all his life.

His later world-famous "Trilogy of Time and Space": "Paradise Cinema", "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" and "The Pianist on the Sea" were all formed after more than ten years of conception.

The "Time and Space Trilogy" is also known as the "Pursuing Trilogy".

These three works all contain the contemplation of the passing of time and the philosophical thinking of life choices.
At the same time, to a certain extent, they are Tonadore's autobiography, his recollection of his hometown and years, constantly repeating the beginning and end of dreams.

At the end of "Cinema Paradiso", Duoduo, who has become famous many years later, returned to the theater that carried his childhood dreams and fond memories, watching the countless kissing scenes that flashed before his eyes alone.

At the end of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", after experiencing the bereavement, war and humiliation, when Marlena returned to Sicily, her charm was gone, but the accumulation of unbearable years gave her a different kind of charm and perseverance. So that she can hold her head high again in the place where the dream began.

In "The Pianist on the Sea", the trumpeter returned to the Virginia, the ship that carried 1900 years of extraordinary life, the place where this dream began.

Several films are not only the process of pursuit, but also the process of passing away.

At the end of "The Pianist on the Sea", when the legendary life story of 1900 became an old thing along with the dilapidated ship, when the explosion finally sounded, the life of 1900 came to an end like the theme song throughout the film.

If the other two parts of the "Time and Space Trilogy" still have realism and serious thinking, then "The Pianist on the Sea" shows a romanticism full of fantasy.

The film is full of many illusory and unrealistic plots, and at the same time contains many metaphors and obscure allegories.

And because of this, this film has a great international reputation!

But at the same time, because a lot of music constitutes its skeleton and core, people are often confused by metaphors and plain dialogues when watching the script alone!
Therefore, this film encountered great difficulties at the beginning of shooting.

When director Tornadore was preparing to shoot "The Pianist on the Sea", he was already famous for the success of "Paradise Cinema".

It's a pity that despite this, countless investors gave up their plans to invest after seeing the script of this movie!
Tonadore begged his grandpa to sue his grandma for six years of investment to get together the $2000 million filming funds for this film.

It can be seen how cheating this script is...

On Earth, due to funding issues, many aspects of this movie are far from excellent.

Even the final explosion scene is a poor animation special effect.

But even so, it still captured countless audiences because of its wonderful expressiveness.

And it is recognized as one of the [-] classic movies in the world.

Because the script was difficult to produce, but in the end it was also successful because of the plot. It can only be said that the worldview of the artist and the investor is really very different.

This also confirms the old saying that great art always has nothing to do with money before it succeeds!
Naturally, Wu Hao didn't know this, he looked at Gao Shuang with some surprise: "Music?"

Gao Shuang didn't explain too much, and said perfunctorily: "Improvise the music when the time comes, and think about it when shooting."

Wu Hao asked curiously: "Director Gao, I want to ask you something."

Gao Shuang nodded and said, "Say it."

Wu Hao looked at Guo Rui, and asked with some embarrassment: "Which actors have been appointed now?"

Gao Shuang patted him on the shoulder and said, "For the time being, it's just the two of us, and we'll talk about casting after the ship is almost finished."
