The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 11 Carry out the magic reform to the end

When Wang Wei first conceived the plot of "adults playing with twisters", he was looked down upon. The crew once denounced it as "going to the point of madness for the sake of product placement."

Now, watching these guys licking their faces and driving around on the set, Wang Wei wanted to ask, "Does your face hurt?"

But in the end, Wang Wei didn't bother them to find happiness with toys; after all, for adults who are consumed by trivial life, happy time is always so rare.

——As for why Wang Wei silently set up a camera to film this scene...

It is definitely not to record their childish black history.

Is this a piece of flowers?

These days, "selling discs" has become the largest peripheral income for movies. As a director and producer, of course, we cannot ignore this. Interesting trailers can help sell more discs, that's all.

Business is all business.

All in all, judging from the film samples, Wang Wei's improvised plot is indeed quite fun and has full comedic effect.

At this time, the princess, whose forehead was wet with sweat, was a little tired, so she withdrew from the crowd, came to the wine table, and poured a glass of wine.

After a pause, Xu Daoxing hesitated and said: "You really didn't tell Xiaozhen that you were going to add a temporary extra act?"

At this moment, love comes like this. The princess smiles lightly, her eyes are tender, shy, and desperate.

That skateboard is so beautiful... No, that skateboard is so handsome... Uh, no... This damn skateboard is under the feet of this handsome man and beauty. Isn't it too high in the spotlight?

Wang Chuanqi rubbed his chin, secretly wondering whether he should ask Father Shen for an additional sponsorship fee.

Looking further, Wang Wei sighed, "Even the lighting is just right. You are right, Lao Xu, it's perfect, it's so perfect."

Xu Daoxing shook his head: "It's hard to compare, it's a completely different genre, but it sounds really good. I think it's a bit too extravagant as a soundtrack."

Of course, compared to Sophie who was childish and clever at that time, Shen Zhenyi's temperament is undoubtedly more mature. Just one look seems to speak a thousand words.

“Dreams are my reality,

"..."

Wang Wei pulled Shen Zhenyi, turned around and walked towards the monitor, saying loudly: "Quickly call it up, I want to watch the replay."

This electronic music song "Faded" has such magic.

Wang Wei raised his eyebrows: "If you tell her in advance, things won't be fun."

He was really looking forward to Shen Zhenyi's reaction.

Xu Daoxing shouted loudly, and his voice broke under the excitement.

This is rare for Xu Daoxing, who has always been steady.

The princess looked up and was stunned for a moment.]

Xu Daoxing nodded wildly: "That's right. He came up with the idea of ​​adding a scene at last and kept it from you. I thought it wasn't very good. It turns out that the director has a good vision. Now I am really impressed."

Therefore, when Comrade Lao Wang returned to the set and looked at the sample pictures, he often saw the "princess" wearing a half-length shirt and tutu skirt, holding the hand of the "reporter" in a handsome gray suit, and both stepped on

Riding a skateboard, leisurely shuttled through the streets of the imperial capital.

In the soothing music, the princess turned back and met Qiao's eyes with a sunny smile.

"Awesome, I can only say that this improv performance of yours is awesome." Wang Wei was full of praise.

——It perfectly fits the plot.

"Ka! Perfect!"

The studio will resume filming soon.

Wang Wei pointed to the close-up shot of Shen Zhenyi and praised: "Lao Zhou captured this shot well, very well."

"Get ready. I've also listened to the recorded music. It's very beautiful."

For example, in the original book, the reporter and the princess drove a light motorcycle to visit the city of Rome. However, motorcycles are prohibited in the imperial capital. Wang Wei simply replaced the motorcycle with a skateboard - this is Shen Zhenyi's home. The product.

"Ka! Lighting, what's going on with the lighting? Lighting engineer, you're also dancing to a disco, and it's even more exciting than this electronic music rhythm. Let's do it again!"

No way, he was allowed to enter the set again, but the condition was that he couldn't beep too much, let alone point fingers - it is said that this can minimize the interference of high-quality unlucky people to the crew.

Well, in addition to the above, there is another reason why he pays homage to the original work that he did not say.

The key is that Shen Zhenyi's performance is so good that it makes people believe that love has arrived.

These words made Lao Wang scratch his head and he wished he could immediately grab the headphones from Shen Zhenyi's head to listen.

Lao Wang calmly stabilized his swaying body. He didn't know why Wang Wei named it "Faded", but it didn't stop his eyes from shining: "What a divine song!"

Thinking of the wonderful thing, he was so excited that he wished he could find someone to discuss it on the spot - but unfortunately he couldn't.

Zhou Linfu was so moved that he focused his close-up on the princess's face.

Reporter Joe sneaked closer and gently put the earphones on the princess' head just as she was about to raise her wine glass.

Especially the paragraph just now, even has some classic flavor.

When Wang Wei referred to the original script, he was thinking, in just one day, did love really develop between the princess and the reporter?

With the addition of this paragraph, the question seems to have a clear answer.

the only kind of real fantasy…”

"What's your expression?"

Covered in warm light, she leaned on his shoulder, cuddling quietly, slowly swaying in the world isolated by the headphones.]

"An expression of admiration."

Divine Comedy does not mean that its level is high. Well, in fact, with Lao Wang’s musical knowledge, he cannot tell the level of a piece of music at all.

Screen playback.

The second time...

"What's the title of the song?"

"Ka! Unit No. 1! Lao Zhou, you are twisting your waist, the camera is shaking!"

The scene burst into laughter.

After a moment, he pointed at the princess's eyes as she turned her head, and patted her thigh: "Xiao Zhen, your eyes are amazing, full of love, so amazing. With this look, goodwill has finally turned into love."

The two people who performed the classic still hugged each other. For a moment, Wang Wei slowly exhaled, took a step back, looked at Shen Zhenyi who blinked and slowly came back to consciousness, and smiled at each other.

Think about it, in the noisy world, someone suddenly gives you a gentle and romantic space. In their own world, two hearts are so close...

Lao Wang, who was busy looking at the samples, did not affect the crew's shooting. The next scene was a group scene, and several cameras were set up at the same time.

Shen Zhenyi put on her headphones again and listened quietly.

This strengthened Wang Wei's determination to carry out the magic reform to the end.

It is said that this scene was an impromptu performance by the male protagonist. Hepburn really thought that his hand was broken inside, so it is known as a classic.

…

[Amidst the noisy music background, the moment I put on the headphones, everything went from restless to quiet, from noisy to warm. Everything around me seemed to have stopped, except for the stars in the princess's eyes.

Under the attention of everyone, Zhou Lin barely controlled his shaking body and smiled: "My fault, my fault, mainly because this song is poisonous, and I started shaking my legs inexplicably."

【Dynamic music played, everyone danced enthusiastically and swayed to their heart's content.

Several members of the directing team, including Shen Zhenyi and Wang Chuanqi, gathered behind the monitor.

Lao Wang also pricked up his ears: "This guy has another song? What song? How does it compare to that electronic music song?"

"Ka! Extras, you are acting, not really participating in the music festival. Look at your jumping, the camera is blocked, try again!"

Wang Wei also didn't expect that Shen Zhenyi's improvisational performance almost perfectly replicated this famous scene.

"Beiping Holiday" has been modified by Wang Wei in more than one place so far. He doesn't think it is necessary to copy a nondescript "Mouth of Truth" in the imperial capital, but this routine can be played along.

Lao Wang has already started thinking about how to maximize the value of this "divine song".

Xu Daoxing's face twitched and he cursed in his heart, "Director, you don't forget to have fun when making a movie. Is this really good?"

What is a crazy reform? This is a crazy reform.

Xu Daoxing's excitement has not dissipated: "Director, you are also awesome. You said that letting Xiaozhen improvise will have miraculous effects. You are right. You are so damn accurate."

All he knows is that this melody is damn catchy and will never be less popular. For a movie soundtrack, this is a "divine song".

The third time...

The dance party attended by the princess and the reporter in the original work was magically changed into a music festival. This is not a problem, the problem is that the soundtrack seems to be too high.

It is said that most directors can be sure that they are making a bad movie when they are one-third of the way through filming.

There is a scene in the original work where the hero and heroine came to the stone sculpture of the Mouth of Truth. The hero put his hand into the stone sculpture, and then pretended to be pinched off by something mysterious, which scared Hepburn to death. When the hero pulled out his hand intact, Hepburn looked like this. Only then did she recover from her panic and threw herself into his arms.

Wang Wei seemed to hear what he was thinking, and spoke righteously: "You don't understand, as an actor, Xiaozhen is very malleable, right? Don't you want to know where her limits are? So, let her improvise occasionally. , maybe there will be a better performance effect.”

This time he really broke through.

But no, as soon as the band started playing, the atmosphere was about to explode, and the set instantly turned into a large-scale disco scene.

The moment he put on the headphones for her amid the noisy electronic music, even though there was no soundtrack, there were no words to describe the beauty.

Soothing and gentle singing sounded.

"Reality."

The opposite is also true. Xu Daoxing has become more and more convinced that he is directing a good film.

Can you be dissatisfied? This is a classic fragment from "The First Kiss" by Sophie Marceau, another goddess in parallel time and space.

Wang Wei ignored their conversation and played it back again. The more he watched, the more satisfied he became.

"Give me the headphones."

Wang Wei snorted and let him go for now.

At this time, Shen Zhenyi interjected: "This song was written by the director?"

Gan!

On the other side, Wang Wei didn't care about Lao Wang's displeasure at being "banned" and quietly pulled the assistant director Xu Daoxing: "Are you ready for the headphones?"

Wang Wei admitted that during the performance, when those starry eyes like glass looked at him, he seemed to hear the pounding heartbeat echoing in his mind.

Probably, maybe, maybe, that's the feeling of heartbeat?

Wang Wei, who was single until his death in his previous life, silently covered his chest and was a little dazed for a moment.

So he didn't see Shen Zhenyi take off her headphones and smile lightly at him. There seemed to be hormones budding in the air.
