Chapter 304 Remake
Zheng Xiyi is very happy.

She likes the piano because her mother, Zheng Jiao, is a great pianist. She has been influenced by the family atmosphere since she was a child, and she can't put it down. But in comparison, she prefers painting. Since she was a child, she likes to draw pictures from her dreams Draw it stroke by stroke with a sketch pen.

But it's a pity that whenever she really wanted to remember the people and things in her dream, she couldn't remember the details, so she studied painting.

Up to now, the 23-year-old Zheng Xiyi has achieved a little success. With the help of her parents, she has opened four galleries, the largest of which has hundreds of famous paintings from all over the world. The most famous one is Mr. Zhang Daqian s work.

Some people say that dreamers are naturally intelligent. Zheng Xiyi often dreams, and a man with his hands behind his back often appears in her dreams. She tries to feed back the man in her dream to the painting table. However, after more than ten years, the man's The face was always blurry.

Until Zheng Xiyi saw Liao Yuan's appearance on TV, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

She knew that this person was the man who often got into her dreams.

His name is Liao Yuan.

She began to pay attention to Liao Yuan's news, from the One Emperor and Four Emperors Piano Competition, from "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", from "Tuner", from "War Rhapsody", "Flight of the Bumble Bee", "Wild Ghost Fire", "Defend the Yellow River" , from "Light Years Away" and "Singing the Motherland"...

Bit by bit, it gathers into a river and pours into my mind.

It's like an innate memory.

In the dream, that man was radiant, but in reality, Liao Yuan was still the same.

This is the guy I'm looking for.

She took the initiative to date Liao Yuan and proposed to visit his crew.

Unexpectedly, Liao Yuan agreed so readily. Zheng Xiyi had never been so happy. Seeing the words in WeChat, she tossed and turned excitedly on the bed, unable to calm down.

She used the phone to share her joy with her best friend, but her best friend poured cold water on her, "He is just being polite, do you take it seriously? Liao Yuan is very busy, playing the piano, writing songs, and now making movies..."

"polite?"

Zheng Xiyi was taken aback for a moment, but then she smiled generously: "Anyway, he promised to let me go."

The best friend jokes on the surface, but she is quite disdainful in her heart. If Zheng Xiyi's grandfather is Zheng Jiarong, would Liao Yuan befriend a painter like Zheng Xiyi?

From my best friend’s point of view, although Zheng Xiyi graduated from a major in fine arts, her paintings are quite beautiful, and she opened four galleries with the help of her parents, but only her best friend knows that these four galleries are basically a business that pays back the capital. .

Now it is 2022. Whether it is oil painting or Chinese calligraphy and painting, only those with a long history are valuable. Some so-called famous contemporary painters rely on hype to hold art exhibitions. , I will still consider joining the animation industry.

People who stick to their dreams often starve to death.

For example, this best friend is a signed artist of a comic platform in Taiwan. She used to have a high heart, but the reality is that her nose is bruised and her face is swollen.

But Zheng Xiyi didn't need to make compromises like this. Her family conditions were good, so she never thought about survival from the beginning to the end, so she could hold art exhibitions, open a gallery, and didn't need to think about losing money or making money.

The next day, she was dressed in a simple dress and drove to Tamkang High School.

At that time, Liao Yuan was speaking to the actors on the set.

This is not the first time he has been a director. Although "The Tuner" is short but powerful, the excellent narrative and shots in the short film have won the praise of many famous directors, which is enough to show that Liao Yuan has real kung fu.

Therefore, at the scene, although Xinyuan Brokerage Company sent a so-called assistant director, this position is usually only equivalent to an assistant, and it is not even recorded on the roster. Make a version.

Today, Liao Yuan is wearing a tailor-made school uniform of Tamkang High School. Through simple makeup, he looks much younger, and even adds a touch of bookishness out of thin air on campus.

Surrounding him were Lin Weiyin, Song Baining, Zhang Ziming and others.

Among them, Song Baining seemed the most nervous, because the first scene was her acting with Liao Yuan, and it was her first filming, and she didn't even shoot the MV when preparing for the album "Fairy Tale Town".

However, under the comfort of Liao Yuan and others, Song Baining's nervous heart finally calmed down.

After a long time, everything is ready.

"start!"

The assistant director Lu Tao yelled, and each camera position quickly started.

The game recorder went up and hit the board record.

The first scene, the first shot, the first take, begins.

Around the campus lawn of Tamkang High School, there are many painters who are sketching this century-old building. They are all students in the school. Because the teaching building is about to be demolished, they use brush strokes to draw The building in front of me is written on the drawing paper to commemorate.

On the main road, Qingyi took Ye Xianglun to introduce the scenery in the school.

"I've heard of you before..."

"really?"

"You're a piano major, right?"

"Yup!"

"Why do you want to transfer to our school? Is your school not good?"

"Because your school is more beautiful! No, my dad asked me to come!"

Assistant director Lu Tao looked at the footage from the crane camera and was amazed.

"Brother Yuan's script is really invincible..."

As a contracted director of Xinyuan Brokerage Company, Lu Tao has only filmed a few web dramas and commercials, and he can be regarded as a third-rate director in the industry. He has never been exposed to god-level scripts, such as suspenseful scripts like "The Tuner". It's even more out of touch.

Now, he is honored to be the assistant of Liao Yuan's new film "The Unspeakable Secret", and he is very excited.

He had also read the script carefully, so when he saw the dialogue between Ye Xianglun and Qingyi, he admired Liao Yuan even more.

First of all, "I've heard of it before" at the beginning, followed by "Major Piano" at the end, is intended to set off Ye Xianglun's piano playing so well that Qingyi "has heard of it a long time ago", which is also for the piano fighting later. The plot is foreshadowing.

If you don't point out that he plays the piano well in the front, "fighting the piano" in the back will seem too abrupt.

It would be too vulgar to take pictures of awards and trophies, so a simple sentence "I've heard of you before" seems natural and unobtrusive, which is a high-end expression technique.

As for why his father wanted him to transfer here, he also gave a reasonable explanation later - because his father is a teacher in this school, he naturally wanted to watch his son graduate under his own eyes.

"It really is true that every line has its meaning!"

Lu Tao looked enviously at the lines constantly emerging on the monitor.

"Look over here, these two floors are full of piano rooms and performance rooms. You are a student in the music class, so come here often!"

"so beautiful!"

"This piano room has a history of 100 years!"

"100 years?"

"Yeah! But it's going to be taken down on our graduation day."

The more Lu Tao watched, the more excited he became.

A director who comes into contact with a good script for the first time is like a cat smelling fish for the first time, it makes him tremble all over.

In just a few sentences, countless plot points were revealed.

The piano room was about to be demolished on the day of the graduation ceremony. The reason was that it had "100 years of history" and a new one had to be built. What Qingyi especially emphasized was "that day" of the graduation ceremony.

It is also because of this sentence that the heroine Lu Xiaoyu returns to 2022 to meet the heroine, and there is also a climax in the ending where Ye Xianglun ventures to play the piano.

After the first scene was over, Liao Yuan left the role and returned to the director's position to watch the scenes just shot.

Next to it, Song Baining and others also gathered around to watch the shot just now.

What was shot by the crane camera was a lengthy shot, with a one-minute shot to the end. However, this shot did not have any acting content, because the crane camera was shot in mid-air, and half of the campus was in the shot. In the scenery, the audience can only see the backs of many students and Liao Yuan and Song Baining.

Everything seems very natural.

After a while, Liao Yuan stood up calmly and said, "Retake."
