MTL - You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular-Chapter 111 The first day of the hit
◎"Get ready, everyone, we're starting filming." Director Shen patted Director Shen◎
"Get ready, everyone, we're starting filming."
Director Shen clapped his hands, and everyone started to act.
Today's scene is very important. The background is the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. The hero and heroine meet in the city of lights. After a glimpse, they fall in love with each other at first sight.
The story of the musical is quite simple, without any twists and turns. The only thing that needs attention is to perform the atmosphere of the ambiguous action well.
Their crew is lucky, the moonlight is very good tonight, the gentle moonlight is as clear as water, sprinkled on the bustling streets.
Lanterns of various colors hang on the street, swaying gently in the breeze, and the lights flow under the cover of the night, just like the Milky Way in the sky reflected on the long street, forming a beautiful picture.
The long street is very lively, there are hawkers selling goods, and there are people who come out to play with children. There are also boys and girls who seldom go out, and make a wish hidden in their hearts to the moonlight.
A high platform was set up on the Qingyin Pavilion, and the silk ribbons were flying in the wind. Under the illumination of the lights, the dancers danced to the sound of string music.
The heroine is ready to appear at this time.
As a well-known singer in the capital, she not only has an excellent singing voice, but also has a beautiful dancing posture.
During the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated by the whole people, she was specially invited by Qingyin Pavilion to perform dances for the whole capital.
There are crowds of people under the high platform, and the moonlight and lights complement each other, reflecting on everyone's faces with expectations and surprises.
On the high platform, the heroine dances lightly with long sleeves, like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world by accident, making people ecstatic.
The musician stands near the high platform, holding a flute, standing gracefully. Although there are countless onlookers around him, he still has an aura that cannot be ignored, making people see him at the first sight.
He looked at the heroine who was dancing on the high platform from a distance, and the eyes of the two met in an instant.
"Not bad, this feels great." Director Shen looked at the picture in the camera and was very satisfied.
Of course, Yao Bianliang's acting skills are nothing to say, but to his surprise, Su Mingyuan's performance is also remarkable.
That kind of astonishment mixed with heart-pounding eyes is just right.
—Of course, this should not be all acting, after all, Yao Bianliang's appearance today is indeed extremely beautiful.
The next plot quickly entered the right track.
Something went wrong with the instrument of the musician on the stage for some reason, and the thin string snapped, making a harsh sound.
The hostess did not stop her dance, the rhythm of the sound of Coke had begun to collapse, which undoubtedly affected her dance steps.
At this time, a clear flute sounded slowly through the night, gradually bringing back the song that was off track.
With the addition of the flute, the heroine's dance has made some subtle changes.
She subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound. The musician was dressed in white and stood tall among the crowd, watching her quietly with deep eyes.
The hustle and bustle around seemed to quiet down in an instant. They were the only ones left around, looking at each other across the distance of space under the light of the lights and the moonlight.
"Perfect!" Director Shen clapped his hands, surprise flashed in his eyes.
This is a very difficult shot, which tests the actors' emotional control.
He really didn't expect that this shot could be passed in one pass.
According to the plot, at this time the heroine needs to start singing.
The wonderful singing combined with the sound of the flute brought the whole scene to its climax.
But Yao Bianliang's singing voice is really unflattering, and she is not a professional after all, it is not easy to dance like this, it is impossible to dance and sing at the same time.
Therefore, at this time, she only needs to do lip-synching.
The whole process went very smoothly. When the show ended, the crowd slowly dispersed and gradually merged into the queue gathered in front of the booth.
People guess lantern riddles and play pitching pots, which is very lively.
The musician watched the heroine step down from the stage, and walked quickly to the back of the building, trying to find the figure of the heroine.
After the heroine came down from upstairs, she hurriedly changed her clothes and came to the front of the building, trying to find the musician just now.
The exquisite lanterns still swayed gently with the wind, and people came and went around, but they were no longer seen.
The lights and shadows were overflowing, and the crowd was bustling. The two quickly crossed the long street, trying to find each other's figure.
This is a beautiful and romantic scene full of unique Chinese ancients.
As if separated by a layer of veil, the feelings are subtle but sincere, and the hazy beauty is intoxicating.
In the process of searching, the crowd gradually became sparse from the beginning, and the noise and shouting gradually became distant.
They went further and further apart, and finally met each other in the corner of Lantern City.
They looked for him thousands of times in the crowd, but when they looked back suddenly, the man was in a dimly lit place.
The plot of this search was filmed separately by the male and female protagonists, and they will be shot together when the plot of the male and female protagonists meeting is filmed.
After everything was ready, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.
Yao Bianliang lay down on the ground without any image as if he had lost his strength.
Although there was a break in the middle, she was much more tired than the hero Su Mingyuan after dancing for so long.
"Sister Liang, are you okay, do you want some water?"
Su Mingyuan was actually quite tired, but he still handed Yao Bianliang a bottle in a very gentlemanly manner, and then opened a bottle himself.
"Thank you." Yao Bianliang drank water dryly while thinking about the next plan.
After today's filming, she also fully understood the interpretation of the play.
Playing music and singing and dancing is the profession of the hero and heroine, so the singing and dancing in this play are all presented in this form.
The emotions expressed in singing and dancing are consistent with the emotions of the characters.
For example, in the romantic encounter just now, the tune they played happened to be a romantic and meaningful tune.
The heartbeat of the main character's love at first sight is perfectly combined with singing and dancing.
The double emotion and double contrast render the whole atmosphere to the extreme and achieve a beautiful artistic effect.
"The quality of this drama is estimated to be very high." Yao Bianliang couldn't help but sighed.
Among other things, in short, the artistry is definitely very good.
The only good news is that movie box office has little to do with artistry.
Comedy elements, exciting plots, and top-notch special effects may all become the hot spots of a movie.
However, there is absolutely no artistry involved.
In addition, Yao Bianliang carefully selected the category of singing and dancing, and arranged a monotonous and boring script. It is undoubtedly very difficult for this film to make a breakthrough at the box office.
"Everyone has worked hard." Director Shen walked over with a smile on his face. Obviously, he was very satisfied with the results of today's shooting.
"Teacher Yao, you must have practiced this dance for a long time." Director Shen raised the corners of his lips slightly in admiration, "Every frame is a beautiful picture."
Yao Bianliang: "..."
That's right, in her previous life, in order to play the role of a dancer well, she practiced hard for more than a year.
Although there is a gap with professional dancers, but in the actor industry, it should be considered top level.
Director Shen said: "The filming went smoothly today, but there are still a few shots that need to be re-shot. Let's make adjustments and try to get it done tonight, how about it?"
It is a common thing to make up shots, and everyone naturally has no opinion.
Several people discussed the details of the lens again, and they were ready to start shooting.
Director Shen returned to the back and sat down, and was about to start working, but found a somewhat familiar figure standing beside him, hesitating as if he wanted to say something.
"Uh, Chen Shen?" Director Shen was puzzled, "What's the matter with you?"
In fact, as a composer, Chen Shen didn't need to come to watch the actors' performances at all.
However, for him, creating with the text of the script is completely different from creating with the screen of a movie.
Chen Shen knew in his heart that the treatment Yao Bianliang gave him had far exceeded the standard that the market should have.
At such a price, the other party can obviously choose a better composer and a more experienced production team.
But in the end she chose a nobody like herself.
If you don't finish this work seriously, how can you be worthy of the opportunity Yao Bianliang gave him!
He can't let the other party down no matter what.
Therefore, he chose to stay on the set to observe tonight.
After watching the whole show, he knew he was right—the atmosphere in the shot was just too strong.
Classical, hazy, romantic...
Poignant, powerless, desperate...
Seeing the scene where the hero and heroine met for the first time, Chen Shen uncontrollably began to imagine what it would be like when they were forced to separate because of the war.
When the heroine learns that she will be separated from the hero forever, and gives a solo dance in despair, what kind of picture is it compared with the current situation.
"Director Shen, I found that I have some new inspirations, can you... share this shooting material with me so that I can continue to create."
Chen Shen scratched his head, and said cautiously: "Don't worry, I will never spread the word."
Director Shen was taken aback for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Alright, the current video data is still a bit messy, I'll sort it out and send it to you later."
Composers also need sources of inspiration.
Obviously, the beautiful singer played by Yao Bianliang and the cold musician played by Su Mingyuan can both become the same existence as the muse of inspiration.
Although the song has basically been finalized, to be honest, everyone is not particularly satisfied with the current song, and I am afraid that it will need to be revised in the future.
With the help of video, it should also help everyone to ponder and study better.
"Well, I'll share the video with the group," Shen Dao said, "You guys who are into music can watch it."
"Okay, then thank the director." Chen Shen's eyes lit up slightly.
After thanking the director, he turned around and walked upstairs without stopping any longer.
Inspiration is fleeting, and he must seize this hard-won opportunity.
…
In the early morning of the next day, Yao Bianliang saw a new file in the group.
Not only the video materials, but also the new song composed by Chen Shen Lian Ye.
"Isn't the previous song not good enough, why do you want to change it?"
Yao Bianliang felt a little uneasy, scratched his messy hair, and clicked on the music file first.
The melodious accompaniment sounded, as if pulling people back to the noisy and prosperous Lantern Festival in an instant.
The tune is beautiful and romantic, mixed with exciting short notes, with an inexplicable meaning.
This is just an unmodified main theme.
After Yao Bianliang finished listening, he couldn't tell what he heard, only one thought emerged in his mind——
It seems... It sounds better than before, and it fits the situation better.
Several people in the group have already chatted, and everyone's response is very enthusiastic.
Someone sent a long paragraph of text, mixed with words such as chords and tremolo, in short, a bunch of technical terms that laymen cannot understand.
Yao Bianliang put his fingers down on the keyboard, hesitating whether to tell them, there is no need to bother.
However, after thinking for a long time, she finally didn't say anything.
Anyway, they are all F-level players, no matter how hard they try, they probably won't be able to do anything.
She is a layman, so there is no need to meddle indiscriminately.
In case of disturbing other people's thinking and making the tune better by accident, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss.
While thinking about it, the phone vibrated again, and a new message popped up.
Yao Bianliang took a closer look, and it turned out to be a congratulatory message from Yu Yiqing.
[Sister Liang, good news! 】
[The "Order of the End of the World" you played was nominated for Best Actress. 】
"What?" Yao Bianliang's face changed slightly, and he sat up straight.
She raised her whole heart.
She originally thought that Tianya Ling's explosion was already a fact and could no longer have any influence on her.
But she never expected that this thing would get her nominated!
If one of them won the award, wouldn't her situation be more dangerous?
However, before Yao Bianliang recovered, Yu Yiqing's message continued to come.
[This is the most authoritative award in our country. Not only you were nominated for Best Actress, Wen Xuan was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress, Ling Huanxuan was also nominated for Best Screenplay. 】
Seeing this line of text, Yao Bianliang felt relieved.
Fortunately, she was not the only one nominated.
With Wen Xuan and Ling Huanxuan, her brilliance can definitely be covered up a lot, at least she won't be the most special one!
This is also a blessing in misfortune.
If at that time, Wen Xuan and Ling Huanxuan can get the award, and Yao Bianliang misses the trophy, it might be a good thing for her.
[Yu Yiqing: However, having said that, there is also a piece of bad news for us. 】
[Yu Yiqing: I heard that Yao Xinxin's movie was also nominated for the most authoritative award in the world. 】
