Zheng Xiyi is very happy.

She likes the piano because her mother Zheng Jiao is a big pianist, and since she was a child, she has loved the piano since she was a child, but in comparison, she prefers to paint, and since she was a child, she likes to paint the pictures she dreamed of through a sketch pen stroke by stroke.

But it's a pity that the people and objects in her dreams, whenever she really wants to think about them, she can't remember the details, so she delves into painting.

Today, at the age of 23, Zheng Xiyi has opened four galleries with the help of her parents, the largest of which has hundreds of famous paintings from around the world, the most famous of which is the work of Mr. Zhang Daqian.

Some people say that people who love to dream are born smart, Zheng Xiyi often dreams, and there is often a man standing with his hands in her dreams, she tries to feed back the man in her dream to the painting case, however, more than ten years have passed, the man's face has always been blurred.

It wasn't until Zheng Xiyi saw Liao Yuan's appearance on TV that she had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

She knew that this man was the man who often drilled 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 "Tuner", from "War Rhapsody", "Wild Bee Flying", "Ghost Fire", "Defending the Yellow River", from "Light Years Away", "Singing the Motherland", ......

Little by little, it converges into a river and pours into my mind.

It's like an innate memory.

In the dream, the man was radiant, and in reality, Liao Yuan was still the same.

That's who I'm looking for.

She took the initiative to date Liao Yuan and offered to go to his crew to see it.

I didn't expect Liao Yuan to agree so quickly, Zheng Xiyi had never been so happy, seeing the words in WeChat, she tossed and turned on the bed excitedly, and she couldn't calm down.

She used the phone to share her joy with her best friend, but was poured cold water by her best friend, "People are just polite, are you serious?" Liao Yuan is very busy, playing the piano and writing songs, and now he is making movies......

"You're welcome?"

Zheng Xiyi was stunned for a moment, but then she smiled generously: "Anyway, he promised to let me go." ”

The best friend laughed on the surface, but she was quite disdainful in her heart, if it weren't for Zheng Xiyi's grandfather being Zheng Jiarong, Liao Yuan would have befriended a painter like Zheng Xiyi?

In the eyes of her best friend, although Zheng Xiyi graduated from fine arts, her paintings are also very good-looking, and with the help of her parents, she also opened four galleries, but only her best friend knows that these four galleries are basically a business that reverses the cost.

Now it's 2022, whether it's oil painting, or Chinese painting and calligraphy, only the old ones are valuable, and some of the so-called famous contemporary painters may be able to hold art exhibitions by hype, but more painters, considering the practical problems, will still consider joining the animation and comics industry.

People who hold on to their dreams tend to starve to death.

For example, this best friend, who is a contracted painter on a comic platform in Taiwan, used to have a heart higher than the sky, but the reality made her nose blue and swollen.

But Zheng Xiyi doesn't need to be so compromised, her family conditions are good, so she has never thought about survival, so she can hold art exhibitions, open galleries, and don't need to think about losing money or making money.

The next day, she was dressed in simple clothes and drove to Tamkang High School.

At that time, Liao Yuan was talking to the actors in the crew.

This is not the first time he has been a director, "The Tuner" is short but concise, and the excellent narrative and shots in the short film have amazed many famous directors, which is enough to see that Liao Yuan is carrying real kung fu.

Therefore, on the scene, although the Singapore dollar agency has sent a so-called assistant director, this position is usually only equivalent to an assistant, and it will not even be recorded on the roster.

Today's Liao Yuan is wearing a tailor-made school uniform from Danjiang High School, and through simple makeup, the whole person looks much younger, and even adds a hint of bookishness on campus.

Around him, it was Lin Weiyin, Song Baining, Zhang Ziming and others.

Among them, Song Baining looked the most nervous, because the first scene was when she played with Liao Yuan, and she was filming for the first time, and she didn't even shoot the MV when she was preparing the album "Fairy Tale Town" before.

However, under the appeasement of Liao Yuan and others, Song Baining's nervous heart finally calmed down.

After a long time, everything was ready.

"Let's go!"

Assistant director Lu Tao shouted, and each camera was quickly activated.

The field recorder went forward to play the board record.

The first shot, the first shot, the first shot, begins.

Around the campus lawn of Tamkang High School, there are many painters who are sketching, painting this century-old building, they are all students in the school, because this teaching building is about to be demolished, so they use a paintbrush to write the building in front of them into the drawing paper to remember.

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, aren't you?"

"That's right!"

"Why do you want to transfer to our school?

"Because your school is pretty! No, my dad called me!"

Assistant director Lu Taoyao looked at the footage from the rocker camera and was amazed.

"Brother Yuan's script is really invincible......"

As a contracted director of Xinyuan Agency, Lu Tao has only made a few online dramas and commercials, and can be called a third-rate director in the industry, and has never been exposed to god-level scripts, let alone suspense scripts like "The Tuner".

Now, he has the privilege of being an assistant to Liao Yuan's new film "The Secret That Can't Be Said" and is very excited.

He had also read the script carefully, so when he saw the dialogue between Ye Xianglun and Qingyi, he was even more impressed by Liao Yuan.

First of all, the beginning of "I've heard about it before", followed by "major in piano", is intended to set off Jay Chou's piano playing very well, so that Qingyi "has heard it a long time ago", which is also to pave the way for the plot of the piano fight later.

If you don't point out that he plays the piano well in the front, the "piano fight" in the back is too abrupt.

If you take a certificate or trophy or something, it looks too vulgar, so a simple sentence of "I've heard of you before" will seem natural and unremarkable, which is a high-grade performance technique.

As for why his father wanted him to turn over, he also gave a reasonable explanation later-because his father is a teacher at this school, so he naturally wants to watch his son graduate under his eyes.

"If you really have a purpose, every line has a purpose!"

Lu Tao looked enviously at the lines that kept popping up in the monitor.

"Look here, these two floors are full of piano rooms and performance rooms, you are a student of the music version, you have to come often!"

"It's beautiful!"

"This piano room is 100 years old!"

"A hundred years?"

"Well, it's going to be torn down on the day of our graduation ceremony. ”

The more Lu Tao watched, the more excited he became.

A director who comes into contact with a good script for the first time is like a cat who smells fishy for the first time, and he feels like he is trembling all over.

In just a few sentences, countless plot points were revealed.

The piano room was to be demolished on the day of the graduation ceremony, citing the fact that it was "100 years old" and needed to be built new, and Qingyi emphasized that it was 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 and goes to see the male protagonist, and there is also the climax of Ye Xianglun's adventure to play the piano at the end.

After the first scene was over, Liao Yuan broke away from the role and returned to the director's position to watch the footage that had just been filmed.

Next to him, Song Baining and others also gathered around to watch the footage they had just taken.

What was taken by the boom camera was a lengthy shot, with a minute-long shot to the end, but this shot did not have any acting content, because the boom camera was shot in mid-air, and the lens was half of the campus, and the audience could only see many students, as well as the backs of Liao Yuan and Song Baining.

Everything seems natural.

After a while, Liao Yuan stood up calmly and said, "Remake." ”
