I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 526 524.BELLA CIAO (33)

To put it simply, Liu Zhishi heard what Li Minian said, and Li Minian heard what Chen Chuhe's agent said, and Chen Chuhe's agent saw it with his own eyes.

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

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

Even though we all started in the Three of Swordsman series, the friendship did not last in the end.

Tang Yan and Hu Stubble have a good relationship.

Because of that text message, Yang Mi always stayed away from Hu Shi, so naturally, her friendship with those who had a good relationship with Hu Shi on the Fairy Sword crew was average.

But no matter how ordinary the relationship is, there is still a bond.

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

The conversation got so exciting that I drank the second bottle.

A dozen is worth one bottle per person.

Yang Mi is actually fine, a little tipsy.

But Liu Zhishi couldn't walk even with this amount of alcohol.

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

It's just an empty room thing.

By the time she settled down with Shishi, the two little guys had been coaxed to sleep by Xu Xin, who had finished his work at some point.

Yang Mi let out a wine burp, and while she was filled with joy, she also had a look of regret on her face:

"It's a pity... I haven't left yet, otherwise I would be so considerate to you, and we would have a violent hookup for a while."

"...Can you restrain yourself from this rogue behavior after drinking?"

Xu Xin looked helpless.

"Hurry up and take a shower and then go to bed."

"Hey, can I tell you something?"

"No, I'm really tired and need to sleep."

Xu Xin huddled under the quilt, his face full of impatience.

"About Tang Yan."

"bass!"

He turned around and opened his eyes:

"explain!"

"That's right, you should be ungrateful. Don't talk about it anymore. 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 see my relatives, and I can take a shower.

But she had just entered the bathroom. Her hair was still semi-dry, and Xu Xin, who had already finished taking a shower, walked in again:

"Female donor~hehehehe..."

"...Why are you such a bitch?"

Yang Mi, who knew he was here to listen to gossip, looked disgusted:

"Tang Yan is in love with an actor named Qiu Ze."

"You're pregnant before you get married?"

"……No."

"Qiu Ze was in chaos and finally gave up?"

"No... By the way, do you know who Qiu Ze is?"

"I don't know. So these two people turned against each other?"

"Brother! We just got along, we just fell in love because of drama, we just started talking, what are you talking about?"

Yang Mi's face was speechless.

But Xu Xin was stunned for a moment and said:

"That's it? Just that Tang Yan is in love with this actor?... That's it?"

"It's gone. What's wrong? I'm going to hold an anti-vulgar meeting for you?"

"cut."

Xu Xin turned around and left with his lips curled up.

What the hell.

A waste of feelings.

"Hey, I'm telling you something."

"Do not listen."

"About Shishi and why I'm so happy today."

"Isn't Shishi going to leave Tangren? You just finished talking."

"I didn't instigate it... Do you want to hear how she and Mr. Cai quarreled?"

When I originally said this, Xu Xin had already walked out of the bathroom.

But after she said this, Xu Xin walked in again.

He even took off his pants:

"Hehehe...female donor~~~"

"Tsk..."

Yang Mi shook her head helplessly.

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

…

In short, this night, Xu Xin listened to a lot of gossip, and Yang Mi also ate chicken wings. Then the couple slept happily until dawn.

Next, he stayed in Yanjing for a week.

Mainly dealing with "Bite of Tongue" matters.

Hold frequent meetings to determine the shooting content, select the copywriting team, and formulate shooting plans.

It was almost nine to nine for a week. After a very busy week, he once again boarded a plane to Xi'an with a feeling of exhaustion and vomiting.

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 from Xiying Studio.

Apparently they all came here for "The Hawthorn Tree".

Xu Xin’s first words after meeting him were:

"What do you think?"

"I haven't watched it yet. I don't want you to come with us."

What Qi Lei said with a smile made Xu Xin stunned for a moment, and then he quickly shook his head:

"How embarrassing... I'm sorry, leaders, I'm late."

"It doesn't matter."

Tian Shuanghe held the tea cup in his hand and pointed to the next door:

"Now that we're all here, let's go to the screening room."

With that said, everyone began to walk into the screening hall next to the editor.

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

"Xiao Xu, sit there and let's talk."

"okay."

So, the two of them sat in the best seats.

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

"The soundtrack team has been found. You'll see if it works in a while. Let's hurry up."

"Ok, I know."

Generally speaking, the Venice Film Festival starts in mid-September, registration closes 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, there will be enough time to submit it for review.

"If it's too late, there's still a golden bear."

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

"Have confidence?"

"Actually, that's it."

"Then let's give it a try... Although the quality is still the first, if you can catch up, then work hard. After all, winning an award before the release is much more powerful than winning after the release. So the factory contacted you this time. Young Sir, 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 his computer, he clicked play.

Because I haven’t made a start, and there’s no reason to submit it for review, I don’t have the dragon mark and the previous matters yet.

The first scene is a fixed shot. In the shot, a group of people are queuing up with luggage and waiting to get on the bus.

And everyone locked their eyes on Liu Yifei in the crowd at a glance.

The men and women crowded together, but Liu Yifei kept about two fists away from the group.

His eyes were filled with timidity and uneasiness.

"Hmm...not bad."

Xu Xin heard Tian Shuanghe's approval.

He smiled.

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

You will know later on.

…

The edited film of "Hawthorn Tree Love" is 104 minutes.

Including the opening and ending credits added later, the total running time is about 110 minutes, which is quite satisfactory.

After watching the 104 minutes without speeding up even a second, Tian Shuanghe remained silent as the film froze in the scene of the blooming hawthorn tree.

He said nothing, and neither did the others.

I just reminisce in my mind about the temperament exuded by the entire film.

Very unique temperament.

Extremely clean.

Especially beautiful.

Although the final ending is sad...

But it still feels refreshing.

The main reason is that the film was shot too quietly, and there is no trace of anxiety or ups and downs in the overall tone.

Like a quietly flowing stream.

Peaceful and soothing.

But all the story directions are buried in this sense of tranquility. When people see the final tragedy, the feeling that rises is not sadness, but a kind of... faint melancholy.

Yes, it is melancholy.

Very strange feeling.

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

It's so clean that ending in tragedy is the kind of absurdity it should be.

"...Tsk."

In the silent screening room, Tian Shuanghe suddenly started talking.

"It feels a bit too peaceful. The shooting was very restrained and calm. This was my first feeling. However, just now I was trying to add some conflicts to this story in my mind, such as those things in the original work. But no matter how I thought about it, it was a bit superfluous. It seemed like it ended in this peace, which was nice too…”

"Yes, this is the feeling I want too."

Xu Xin nodded:

"It's a clean record of a period of time. After all, who hasn't left any regrets in their youth? But regret is also a kind of beauty. I don't want to be so sad and make others cry... It's not worth it, and it's not worth it. So. The overall tone is to go on calmly. It wraps up the unforgettable memories."

"..."

"..."

"..."

No one else spoke.

Because Mr. Tian’s feeling is how they feel in their hearts.

So clean.

This film...

Clean Liu Yifei, clean Lin Xingxin.

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?

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

"Although after reading the original work and the story developed to the time when the third child appeared in the hospital, I knew that the story would have a tragic ending. But to end it so peacefully... made me want to have a perfect ending. The ending, but if it doesn’t happen, it’s not an unacceptable feeling…it’s quite strange.”

The same words were echoed by many people.

"Maybe that's the charm of this movie."

Tian Shuanghe responded, and then chuckled:

"Ha~ It's good as it is... Do you think there is anything else that needs to be modified?"

"Well……"

Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"Let's take this version as the standard and start making the soundtrack. This soundtrack is simple. My initial idea was a variation of the song "BELLA CIAO". When it's upbeat, just use the normal tune. When it's melancholy, you can Use cello or flute... Everything about it is based on the unique term of that era - revolutionary friendship. This is my idea of ​​​​sounding. And there are several things that need to be added or deleted in this film. Lao Zhu and I We’ll study it in the next few days, and we’ll start over there at the same time.”

"No problem, let's contact the actors to come over for dubbing."

Tian Shuanghe gave an order:

"Hold on tight. If you can catch up with Venice, as long as you are shortlisted, it will be a victory. In Venice in the past two years, except for Lao Jia, there are only a few people 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?”

He said the last words to others.

Everyone nodded, including Qi Lei.

yes.

It’s time for this group of foreigners to see the new look of Chinese cinema with this... film that has a strange rhythm but is extremely comfortable to watch.

…

"BELLA CIAO"

This song is the earliest and is an Italian anti-FXS guerrilla folk song.

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

The original author of the song is no longer known, and this song became world-famous from the Yugoslav movie "The Bridge", but in fact, this song was also adapted in the movie "The Bridge".

This song is a 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 "Ah Goodbye, 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 fits the temperament of this movie very well.

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

and a Chinese version.

"Teachers, my favorite is this Russian version. It is more magnificent. But it is not soft enough. The separation between Lao San and Jing Qiu is divided into several stages.

The parting after everyone met in Qinglong Village was for a better future, including the scene where the educated youth went to the countryside when they responded to the call. I want this magnificent feeling.

Want the momentum of thousands of sails competing and hundreds of teams competing! Then in other stages, I divided the themes of the score into three categories, one is melancholy, one is light, and the last one is tranquil like flowing water..."

"It's all about this song?"

"Yes, because Jingqiu has a stage of chorus performance, and human voices can be used here. But most of the time, I hope to express this feeling just through music..."

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

"The Voice" has been taking a break these two days, and I heard that Xu Xin had finished editing the film and started scoring the music.

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

After watching the 104-minute movie, while they were still immersed in the atmosphere of...sadness like running water, with no trace left or gone, Xu Xin had already begun to talk about the feeling of the soundtrack he wanted.

Different versions of "BELLA CIAO" sounded from time to time in the entire conference room. Compared to others, Jay Chou seemed to have some inspiration, and occasionally he would play a few notes against the table with his hands.

The question just now was asked by Jay Chou.

After asking, he looked around and suddenly said to Daolang:

"Teacher Daolang, hey, we are using a trio composed of cello, viola and guitar. What do you think? I think there are several passages that are more peaceful than sad. So the cello sets the tone, the viola makes up for it, and the guitar is A touch of calm that breaks away from the melancholy atmosphere. After the trio, I feel pretty good~"

His words were not only addressed to Daolang, but also to other teachers here.

Although he is not a professional film scorer.

But when it comes to the expressive power of music, he cannot be said to be the "one of the best" in the world, but he also has absolute self-confidence.

Can find out how your friends want to feel.

As for everyone else…

Then let’s compare.

Competition, exchange, communication and integration.

A Xin's movies are great.

He also wanted to contribute his share.

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

And Lang Lang was not to be outdone:

"When advancing time, that kind of sunny... In the shot of Liu Yifei walking, the soundtrack can be played with a piano. It's as brisk as water flowing down a thousand miles, a single-note loop, which makes it look more lively and playful... You can try it when you get home later. I feel the effect should be good.”

Hearing this, Wang Sicong looked around...

I started to curse in my heart.

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

By the way, I learned the recorder when I was in elementary school...

I can play "Titanic"...

How about I ask Lao Xu if he wants to try my recorder?

Anyway, after the director has clearly conveyed the feeling he wants, the soundtrack of the movie centered around the song "BELLA CIAO" has already entered the schedule.

In order to make it easier for Luan Lu and Lang Lang to "cheat", Xu Xin also specially copied a copy of "Hawthorn Tree" to a CD. After returning to the villa, the two of them started playing with it.

As for Wang Sicong...

Well, I went to buy a recorder.

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

Now that we have the basic melody, we only need to change the instruments, rhythm, and music excerpts according to the needs of different scenes to produce the effect the director wants.

At least Lang Lang and Jay Chou collided, and there were sparks between the two.

From the time we returned home after dinner until almost 12 o'clock when everyone went to bed, the sound of piano and piano, piano and cello, piano and acoustic guitar never stopped.

The discussion never stopped.

But after all, Xu Xin didn't listen to Wang Sicong's "Titanic".

Brother, please find the right tone first and then come back.

It sounds like I'm going to get hemorrhoids in my ears.

Xu Xin became so busy all of a sudden.

In the past few days, I have been either working on the soundtrack, working on the soundtrack, or continuing to work on the soundtrack.

And it took two days to finalize the final edited version, and West Film Studio rushed to submit it for review.

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

It only took 4 days in total from submission for review to getting the dragon label.

And this is despite the fact that there is no soundtrack and some audio tracks have not yet been dubbed.

The energy is evident.

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

After Lao Zhu completed the opening and ending of the film, he handed over all the subsequent English work to Zhang Mo.

Zhang Mo, who had stayed up late and worked overtime for several days to complete the subtitles for the entire movie, started working 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.

Started dubbing for the film.

The post-production of the entire movie is actually a quite tedious process.

It starts with the editing and implementation of the film and ends with the completion of the entire film.

At the same time, Liu Yifei's lines also brought Xu Xin a new surprise.

She really took Xu Xin's words to heart.

Or in Wang Zhiwen’s words.

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

Read aloud, record, listen silently, and correct.

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

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

Although she doesn't have many lines, and her Mandarin is not standard, but compared with Liu Yifei, the gap is really big.

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

He expressed that he wanted to give lessons to his cousin.

Your lines are so virtuous, how dare you play Karl?

What do you mean 0/7/0?

Can you sleep well?

Sorry, I can't sleep.

I have to treat you on behalf of my aunt!

And just as Xu Xin was clamoring for it, when the post-production of "Hawthorn Tree" entered a new stage, Yang Mi also received a notice to join the group.

No. 22, Hengdian.

The crew of "Wulin Gaiden" has officially started filming.

She is joining the group.

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

Fine.

I've been catching fish for half a month and it's almost done.

Time to get down to business.

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

"Hello, Mr. Qian, hello, I'm Mimi."

Holding up the phone, she said with a smile:

"The blind audition stage of "The Voice" is expected to end around the 18th. The next time is the assessment within the mentor team. Yang Ying's work is almost over. You see... shouldn't we start too?"

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

"Okay, then I will take her to Hunan to visit you. Do you have time?"

"Well, okay, okay. Should you call the screenwriter, or should I?"

"Yeah, okay, I'll excuse you. We'll see you there on the 19th."

"See you."

The phone hung up and she stretched.

"Eee~~~~~~~um!"

Moving her shoulders, she muttered:

"I've been lazy at home for so long, it's time to do some exercise."
