She likes the piano because her mother Zheng Jiao is a great pianist. The family atmosphere has been like this since she was a child, and she has been fascinated by the piano. However, in comparison, she prefers painting. Since she was a child, she has liked to paint the pictures in her dreams.
Draw it one stroke at a time with a sketch pen.
But unfortunately, whenever she really wanted to think of the people and objects in her dreams, she couldn't remember the details, so she studied painting.
Nowadays, the 23-year-old Zheng Xiyi is considered to be somewhat successful. With the help of her parents, she has opened four galleries. The largest gallery has hundreds of famous paintings from all over the world. The most famous one is Mr. Zhang Daqian.
works.
Some people say that dreamers are naturally smart. Zheng Xiyi often dreams, and a man standing with his hands behind his back often appears in her dreams. She tries to reflect the man in her dream onto the painting table. However, more than ten years later, the man’s
His 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 man was the man who often came 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 Lamp", from "The Tuner", from "War Rhapsody", "Flight of the Bumblebee", "Will-o'-the-Wisp", and "Defend the Yellow River"
, from "Light Years Away", "Singing the Motherland"...
Bit by bit, they gather into a river and pour into my mind.
It's like an innate memory.
In the dream, that man was brilliant, and in reality, Liao Yuan was still the same.
This is the person I'm looking for.
She took the initiative to go on a date with Liao Yuan and proposed to visit his set.
Unexpectedly, Liao Yuan agreed so readily. Zheng Xiyi had never been so happy. When she saw the words in WeChat, she tossed and turned on the bed excitedly and could not calm down.
She used the phone to share her joy with her best friend, but she was met with cold water by her best friend, "I'm just being polite, do you still take it seriously? Liao Yuan is very busy, playing the piano, writing songs, and now filming movies..."
"polite?"
Zheng Xiyi was stunned for a moment, but then she smiled generously: "Anyway, he agreed to let me go."
The best friend is joking on the surface, but she is quite disdainful in her heart. If Zheng Xiyi's grandfather was not Zheng Jiarong, would Liao Yuan make friends with a painter like Zheng Xiyi?
In the eyes of her best friend, although Zheng Xiyi graduated with a major in fine arts, her paintings are quite beautiful, and she has opened four galleries with the help of her parents, but only her best friend knows that these four galleries are basically businesses that pay for themselves.
.
It is already 2022. Whether it is oil paintings or Chinese calligraphy and painting, only those that are older are valuable. Some contemporary so-called famous painters may be able to achieve great success by relying on hype to hold art exhibitions, but more painters consider practical issues.
, I will still consider joining the animation and comics industry.
People who persist in their dreams often starve to death.
For example, this best friend is a contracted artist for a comic platform in Taiwan. She used to have high aspirations, but the reality is that her nose is bruised and her face is swollen.
But Zheng Xiyi does not need to compromise like this. Her family is well-off, so she has never considered survival from the beginning to the end, so she can hold art exhibitions and open galleries without having to think about losing money or making money.
The next day, she dressed in simple clothes and drove to Tamkang High School.
At that time, Liao Yuan was lecturing the actors on the set.
This is not his first time as a director. Although "The Tuner" is short but powerful, the excellent narrative and shots in the short film have impressed many famous directors, which shows that Liao Yuan has real skills.
Therefore, at the scene, although the Xinyuan Agency has sent a so-called assistant director, this position is usually only equivalent to an assistant, and is not even recorded on the roster. Most of the time, he just shouts the start and end on the scene, and maybe also
Make a version.
Today, Liao Yuan is wearing a tailor-made school uniform from Tamkang High School. With simple makeup, he looks much younger, and even has a bookish air on campus.
Around him were Lin Weiyin, Song Baining, Zhang Ziming and others.
Among them, Song Baining seemed the most nervous, because the first scene was between her and Liao Yuan, and it was her first time filming, and she had never even filmed a music video before when she was preparing for the album "Once Upon a Time".
However, with the comfort of Liao Yuan and others, Song Baining's nervous heart finally calmed down.
After a long time, everything was ready.
"start!"
Assistant director Lu Tao shouted, and each camera position quickly activated.
The keeper comes forward to take notes.
The first shot of the first scene, the first shooting, the beginning.
Around the campus lawn of Tamkang High School, there are many painters who are sketching this century-old building. They are all students of the school. Because this teaching building is about to be demolished, they use their brushes to paint it one stroke at a time.
The buildings in front of me were written down on the drawing paper to commemorate them.
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?"
"yes!"
"Why do you want to transfer to our school? Isn't your school good?"
"Because your school is more beautiful! No, my dad asked me to come!"
Assistant director Lu Taoyuan looked at the footage from the crane camera and was amazed.
"Brother Yuan's script is really invincible..."
As a contracted director of Xinyuan Agency, Lu Tao has only filmed a few online dramas and commercials. He is considered a third-rate director in the industry. He has never been exposed to a god-level script, such as a suspenseful script like "The Tuner"
It's even less accessible.
Now, he is honored to be an assistant in Liao Yuan's new film "The Secret That Cannot Be Telln", and he is very excited.
He had also read the script carefully, so when he saw the conversation between Ye Xianglun and Qingyi, he was even more impressed by Liao Yuan.
First of all, the beginning of "I have heard about it before", followed by "majoring in piano", is intended to highlight that Jay Chou plays the piano so well that Qingyi "has heard about it a long time ago", which also sets up the following piano duel.
Plot foreshadowing.
If I didn't point out that he plays the piano well at the beginning, the "piano fighting" later would be too abrupt.
It would be too vulgar to take a picture of a certificate, trophy or something, so a simple sentence "I've heard of you before" will appear natural and unrevealing. This is a high-end expression technique.
As for why his father asked him to transfer, he later gave a reasonable explanation because his father was a teacher in this school and naturally wanted to see his son graduate under his eyes.
"Sure enough, every line has its meaning!"
Lu Tao looked enviously at the lines that kept coming out of the monitor.
"Look here, these two floors are full of piano rooms and performance rooms. You are a music student, so you should come here often!"
“So beautiful!”
"This piano room has a history of 100 years!"
"A hundred years?"
"Yes! But it will be demolished on the day of our graduation ceremony."
Lu Tao became more and more excited as he watched.
The first time a director comes into contact with a good script is like a cat smelling fishy smell for the first time. It almost makes the whole body tremble.
In just a few sentences, countless plot points are revealed.
This piano room will be demolished on the day of the graduation ceremony. The reason is that it has a "100-year history" and a new one needs to be built. Qingyi particularly emphasized that it should be on "that day" of the graduation ceremony.
It is also because of this sentence that there is a plot where the heroine Lu Xiaoyu returns to 2022 to meet the male protagonist, and it is also the climax where Ye Xianglun takes the risk to play the piano at the end.
After the first scene ended, Liao Yuan left the role and returned to the director's position to watch the scenes that had just been shot.
Next to them, Song Baining and others also gathered around to watch the footage they had just taken.
What was captured 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 captured in the shot.
In the scenery, the audience can only see many students and the back figures of Liao Yuan and Song Baining.
Everything seems very natural.
After a while, Liao Yuan stood up calmly and said, "Reshoot."
