I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 526 524.BELLA CIAO (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 thing in the crew.

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

Even though we all started from Paladin III, the friendship did not last after all.

Tang Yan and Hu Jian have a very good relationship.

Because of that text message, Yang Mi always kept her distance from Hu Jia, so naturally, those people in the Immortal Sword crew who had a good relationship with Hu Jia had a mediocre relationship with her.

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 is one bottle per person.

Yang Mi is actually fine, slightly drunk.

But Liu Zhishi's drinking capacity was 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.

And when she settled Shishi, the two little guys had already been coaxed 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 we 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."

"bass!"

He turned around and opened his eyes:
"Say!"

"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 of visiting relatives, and I can take a bath.

But when she just entered the bathroom, her hair was still half dry, and 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'm just getting along with you, and I'm just talking about it. What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yang Mi's face was completely speechless.

But Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, and then 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.

Waste of emotion.

"Hey, I'm telling you something."

"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 he 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...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.

And then, he stayed in Yanjing for a week.

Mainly dealing with "Bite of the Tongue".

Hold frequent meetings, determine the content of the shooting, select the copywriting team, and formulate the shooting plan.

A week is almost nine to nine 007. After a very busy week, with a feeling of exhaustion, he once again set foot on the plane to Xi'an.

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 present in the editing room, but also Qi Lei, Tian Shuanghe, Sun Xinkai and other department leaders of Xiying Film Studio were also there.

Apparently it was all for The Hawthorn.

And Xu Xin's first words after meeting were:

"What do you think?"

"I haven't watched it yet, isn't it waiting for you to come together?"

What Qi Lei said with a smile stunned Xu Xin, and then quickly shook his head:
"How embarrassing...I'm sorry, leaders, I'm late."

"It's ok."

Holding a teacup in his hand, Tian Shuanghe pointed to the next door:
"Now that you're all here, let's go to the screening hall."

With that said, everyone started 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 nice 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."

Generally speaking, the Venice Film Festival starts in mid-September, the registration deadline is at the end of July, and the shortlist is announced at the end of August.

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

"If it's too late, isn't there a golden bear?"

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Tian Shuanghe asked with a smile:

"Have confidence?"

"Actually, that's what it is."

"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 many people this time. Mister young and old, the strength of the number of people is great~"

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

The first scene is a fixed shot, in which 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.

"Um... not bad."

Xu Xin heard Tian Shuanghe's approval.

He smiled slightly.

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

Just 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.

And after watching the 104 minutes without speeding up for a second, when the film was frozen in the scene of the hawthorn tree in full bloom, 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 scent.

Very clean.

Very beautiful.

Although the ending is sad...

But there is still a refreshing feeling.

The main reason is that this film was shot too quietly, and the overall style does not show a little bit of anxiety or ups and downs.

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.

Weird feeling.

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

It's so clean that it's only absurd that it should end tragically.

"...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 impression. 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 nice too..."

"Yes, that's what 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 make others cry... It's not worth it, and it's not worth it. So The overall tone is to go on calmly, wrapping up the unforgettable memories."

"..."

"..."

"..."

No one else spoke.

Because Mr. Tian's feeling is what they feel in their hearts.

So clean.

This film...

Clean Liu Yifei, clean Lin Shenxin.

The love between the clean Jingqiu and the third child.

Because it is too clean, so 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 ended in tragedy. But it ended so peacefully... It made me want to have a perfect ending. The ending, but if it doesn't, it's not an unacceptable feeling...it's weird."

The same statement was echoed by many people.

"Maybe that's 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 that needs to be revised?"

"Well……"

Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"Let's take this version as the standard first, and start making the soundtrack. The soundtrack is simple. My initial idea was a variation of the song "BELLA CIAO". When you are happy, use the normal tune. When you are sad, you can Use cello or flute... Everything in it is performed on the basis of revolutionary friendship, a term unique to that era. This is my soundtrack idea. And there are a few things that need to be added or subtracted in this film. Lao Zhu and I In the next few days, I will study and study again, and I will 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 others.

Everyone including Qi Lei nodded.

Yes.

It's time for this film...with a strange rhythm but a very comfortable viewing experience, to let the foreigners see the new look of Chinese movies.

……

"BELLA CIAO"

This song was originally an anti-FXS guerrilla folk song in Italy.

It 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 "The Bridge", but in fact, this song was also adapted from the movie "Bridge".

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

The 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 particularly 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 "BELLA CIAO".

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

and a Chinese version.

"Teachers, my favorite is this Russian version. It is more magnificent. But it is not soft 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 thousands of sails competing for the first time!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 tranquility 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 to make music.

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.

From time to time, different versions of "BELLA CIAO" sounded in the entire meeting room, and compared to others, Jay Chou seemed to have some inspiration, and occasionally played a few notes on the table with his hands.

And the question just now was asked by Jay Chou.

After asking, he looked left and right, 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.

I can find out what my friends want.

As for the others...

Then compare and see.

Competition, exchange, communication, integration.

Ah Xin's movies are great.

He also wants to contribute his own strength.

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

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 looks lighter and playful... You can try it when you go home later. I feel like it should work out pretty well.”

Hearing this, Wang Sicong looked around...

I started cursing in my heart.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have skipped music class.

By the way, I even learned 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 wants, the soundtrack of the film around the song "BELLA CIAO" has already entered the schedule.

In order to make it easier for Wheel 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 with each other.

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 musical 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 the two.

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 discussion didn't stop.

But in the end Xu Xin didn't listen to Wang Sicong's "Titanic".

Brother, you must find the right tune 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 working on the soundtrack, or making the soundtrack, or continuing to make the soundtrack.

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

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

It took a total of 4 days from submitting for review to getting the dragon label.

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

The energy is palpable.

And after getting the dragon mark, at the same time, the opening and ending of the film were also completed.

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

Zhang Mo, who has stayed up late and worked overtime for several days to get the subtitles of the whole 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 your video.

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

It starts with the editing and implementation of the film, and ends with the end of the whole 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 of time, I took the newspapers and magazines I subscribed to every day, and read them aloud in hours.

Read aloud, record, listen silently, correct.

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

In comparison... Lin Gou's Mandarin is a bit too tortured.

Although the amount of lines is not many, and the Mandarin cannot be said to be substandard, but compared with Liu Yifei, the gap is really quite big.

So, as a cousin, Wang Sicong, who finally gave up his clarinet dream, stepped forward.

Said that he would teach his cousin a lesson.

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!
And just as Xu Xin's side was constantly calling, when the post-production of "The Hawthorn Tree" entered a new stage, Yang Mi's side also received the notice of joining the group.

No. 22, Hengdian.

The crew of "Wulin Biography" officially started filming.

She is joining the group.

The little young woman who was already at home picking her feet yawned.

Fine.

After touching the fish for half a month, it is almost the same.

Time to do the right thing.

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 finishing 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. We will see you on the 19th."

"See you."

After hanging up the phone, 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."

　The third watch is here, please ask for a monthly ticket

　　Owing: 7 more
