Chapter 286: Big Hero
"Ups and downs along the river, gentle curves
Let the horses love the Central Plains, love the north and the south of the Yangtze River
In the face of ice blades, snow swords, wind and rain, affectionate companionship
Cherish the golden ...... that the heavens have given me."
There was silence in the entire editing room, only Liao Yuan's singing voice came slowly from the player.
This song "Borrowing from the Sky for Another 500 Years", the prelude is the same as "Infinite Rivers", which also has the timbre of the national musical instrument "cymbal", but it is also accompanied by dense drum beats and the shouts of 10,000 people synthesized with synthesizers, which are fused together, which can be described as magnificent, which makes Zhang Yichi very satisfied.
"This song is good, Liao Yuan's singing style is also very good, the tone is sonorous, and he has a very iron-clad and soft manhood. β
Director Zhang Yichi nodded frequently, and his mood was quite comfortable.
Sure enough, it makes perfect sense to leave professional things to professional people.
However, when the chorus part sounded, Zhang Yichi's brows frowned significantly.
The others also clearly sensed that something was wrong, and they were all a little surprised.
Zhang Yichi ordered: "Put it again." β
The assistant hurriedly rewinded.
"Look at the iron hooves and walk all over the rivers and mountains
I stood on the cusp of the storm, holding the sun and the moon as they swirled
May the fireworks be peaceful and happy in the world
I really want to live another 500 yearsβ"
The pins could be heard in the editing room, and only Liao Yuan's sonorous and powerful singing voice was still echoing.
"Hey, that's not right!"
The assistant asked: "Forget about the 'iron hooves', but this 'may the fireworks in the world be peaceful and happy'...... Ahem, why does this paragraph feel a little discordant?"
Zhang Yichi paused and said, "Tell me your opinion." β
The assistant hurriedly said: "Director Zhang, my knowledge is not as broad and profound as Teacher Liao, it may be that I think too much, and it is not worth mentioning." β
"Just say it if you want to!" Zhang Yichi scolded: "Don't twist and pinch like a girl!"
The assistant laughed dryly: "This is what you asked me to say, Director Zhang, you see, this sentence 'look at the iron hooves and walk all over the rivers and mountains', it doesn't seem to be very suitable for the emperor Kangxi, right? In history, the iron hooves are usually used to describe the invasion of foreign races, which is a more tragic and infuriating behavior, and in the description of many literary works, the most described iron hooves are the 1931-1945 invasion of Japan in China. If it's the Kangxi Dynasty......"
"At that time, Kangxi's own camp was the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which had already controlled most of the country's territory, whether it was the rebellion of Wu Sangui or Ge Erdan, it only affected some provinces, and the invasion of Tsarist Russia was a small-scale conflict in the bitter cold land of the border, and it was not possible to talk about 'iron hooves treading thousands of miles of rivers and mountains'. Therefore, if Kangxi used 'iron hooves to walk through thousands of miles of rivers and mountains' to describe the rule of their Manchu Dynasty, then it can only be said that ...... Hehe, he's too arrogant. β
Zhang Yichi slowly bowed his head: "That's right, continue." β
The assistant was rewarded, his spirits perked up, and he coughed, and then continued: "As for this 'may the fireworks in the world, be peaceful and happy', it is even more weird, obviously the sentence is not smooth! This sentence is also very awkward for Kangxi. First of all, 'fireworks in the world' is often used to refer to secular life, so what does 'fireworks in the world' mean? Why do we want 'fireworks in the world'? Could it be that there were no fireworks in the world before, and Kangxi needs to put it forward as a great hope? As for 'peace and happiness', it is even more strange. I am a liberal arts student, and I have studied classical Chinese quite a bit, and the meaning of 'Ande' is 'where you have it, where to find it', and there is a kind of vague hope that you can't ask for it. I said in front of me that I wish the world fireworks, and then add a sentence where to find peace and happiness...... Is this really the main style of the 'prosperous Kangqian era'? It is very different from the TV content you filmed, does it seem a little inexplicable to put it here?"
Zhang Yichi tapped his fingers on the tabletop and pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Play the whole song again." β
As a result, "Borrow Another 500 Years from the Sky" resounded throughout the editing room again.
If it's not enough to put it once, put it again.
Half an hour passed.
The more Zhang Yichi listened, the more he liked this song.
Liao Yuan's interpretation of the song is quite appetizing to him, the tone of the whole song is sonorous and frustrating, full of emotion and heroic, it sounds like it fully demonstrates the broad-mindedness and heroic temperament of a generation of emperors who look down on the past and the present, and has difficult singing skills, but ......
The lyrics are so dissonant.
The more you listen to it, the more awkward it becomes.
Zhang Yichi stood up, walked out of the editing room, took out his mobile phone, found Liao Yuan's name in the address book, and clicked to dial.
Soon, the phone was connected.
"Xiao Liao, I listened to the song you sent, but the more I thought about it, the more I didn't understand. β
Zhang Yichi did not say politely to Liao Yuan, and said straightforwardly: "I like "Infinite Rivers" very much, which is very in line with the momentum of the Qing Dynasty, but this "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years", although the tune is majestic and domineering, but some of the lyrics, I think there may be some mistakes, especially the lyrics of "May the fireworks in the world, be peaceful and happy" - my assistant is a liberal arts graduate, and he also feels that the meaning of this sentence is a bit unreasonable. β
Liao Yuan didn't feel surprised, and said bluntly: "Director Zhang, the lyrics of the song "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years" are actually used to describe Zheng Chenggong. β
"Zheng Chenggong?"
Zhang Yichi was stunned, he obviously didn't expect it.
"Yes, 'May the fireworks in the world, be peaceful and happy', the original lyrics were 'Blood floods the world, and Peace is peaceful and happy', I'm sorry Director Zhang, I didn't make it clear in advance, it's my fault. β
Liao Yuan said seriously.
"Borrowing from the Sky for Another 500 Years" was the theme song of "Kangxi Dynasty" in the previous life.
When Liao Yuan searched for a song about Kangxi in his mind, he naturally thought of this song, but he didn't delve too deeply into the lyrics.
But according to the sorting of fans in the previous life, this song "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years" was indeed written about Zheng Chenggong.
Later, due to various reasons, it was transferred to the TV series "Kangxi Dynasty", so the lyrics have also been slightly changed, but if you understand it carefully, it is obvious that this song is more suitable to describe Zheng Chenggong than Kangxi.
Zhang Yichi didn't react for a while.
After a long time, he let out a long breath and said with a wry smile: "I see, the blood floods the world, and it is peaceful and happy, well, this is more smooth." β
The air is silent.
Liao Yuan was a little embarrassed.
Zheng Chenggong and Kangxi can be said to be two extremes, just now, throughout the long history, fifty-six ethnic groups are one family, and there is no need to dispute this. But at that time, the Manchu camp where Kangxi was located was an alien invasion for Zheng Chenggong, and Zheng Chenggong's existence was to 'oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty'.
This song, from Zheng Chenggong's point of view, is an accusation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs and bloody massacre, how can it be peaceful and happy.
In this way, the logical relationship between the upper and lower sentences is clear.
On the other hand, "May the fireworks in the world be peaceful and happy", there is no logical connection.
"This song is good, compared to "Infinite Rivers", "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years" is more in line with my taste, but I'm a person, how can I say it. Zhang Yichi thought for a while and said: "A bit of perfectionism, in the crew, even if a picture, an actor's acting skills do not meet my appetite, I will ask for a reshoot, even if I waste more time and money, Xiao Liao, I used "Infinite Rivers", as for "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years", I can recommend a crew to you, I think it is very suitable to be placed in their work." β
"No need for Director Zhang. β
Liao Yuan said: ""Infinite Rivers" is what I sent you, thank you for being willing to pay a high price for my work, as for "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years", forget it, I believe in fate, it is not enough, just press it to the bottom of the box first!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yichi felt a little uncomfortable.
There is no doubt that "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years" is a good song, he desperately wants to ignore those flaws and put this song in the TV series, but he can't get over that hurdle in his heart.
And Liao Yuan's tone on the phone, although he can't hear whether it's good or bad, but from Liao Yuan's point of view, this matter is from Liao Yuan's point of view: Lao Tzu wrote a song to you just to repay the favor, can Lao Tzu value that little copyright fee?
To be honest, in Zhang Yichi's opinion, Liao Yuan is really not short of money.
His rejection of Liao Yuan like this seems to be a bond in Liao Yuan's heart, and if he wants to cooperate in the future, it will be really difficult.
Zhang Yichi was a little regretful, he called his assistant and said: "The song "Infinite Rivers" will pay the little yellow croaker according to the market price - it is better to play a little more, it will be higher than the market price. β
The assistant hurriedly responded, and then hurriedly went to the finance to discuss the matter.
Zhang Yichi sat in the editor and continued to work, but within ten minutes, he stood up again, picked up the phone, and dialed out: "Hey, Kang Cheng, there is something I have to mention to you......"
"Yes, yes, that's that Liao Yuan, pianist Liao Yuan, well......"
"Isn't your movie missing a theme song? What?
"Yes, I'll send you this song first, and you can decide. β
......
Kenting Park, Pingtung County, Taiwan.
It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the east, the Taiwan Strait to the west, and the Bass Strait to the south.
The name of Kenting is said to be during the Qing Dynasty, when a group of strong men came from the mainland to the southernmost place in Taiwan to reclaim it, and it was called "Kenting" by later generations.
It has a tropical climate with an average annual temperature of 25 degrees. The geology is dominated by coral reefs, surrounded by the sea on three sides and surrounded by mountains in the north, coupled with the wind blowing in the mountains for half a year, creating a special topography of Kenting.
The landscape of Kenting is diverse, with beach shells, cliffs, sand waterfalls, group skirts, stalactite caves, etc.
The crew of "Big Hero Zheng Chenggong" was filmed here.
received a call from his predecessor Zhang Yichi, and the famous film director Wu Kangcheng was a little strange.
He graduated from the same film school as Zhang Yichi, but he is a junior, Chinese New Year's Eve is seventy-seven years old this year, at the beginning of his debut, he was under Zhang Yichi, as an assistant director, and later went out independently, made several movies, and gradually became famous in the circle, although there is no little golden man in the circle, but he is also a good director with a good reputation in the circle.
The epic movie "Big Hero Zheng Chenggong" is another masterpiece he carefully prepared, with a total investment of up to 60 million, invested and produced by Beijing Film Studio.
Wu Kangcheng was quite complacent, and the preparation before filming was nearly a year, not only according to the 1:1 ratio, the simulation of the construction of a large number of Dutch warships, Ming Dynasty gunboats, but also the production of a large number of costumes, props, etc., which are completely consistent with the historical facts, which has attracted great attention from the film industry at home and abroad.
Three months have passed since the official shooting, and the work is about to be completed, and everything is ready.
With the support of Beijing Film Producers, no matter how bloody and restrictive this movie is, it is absolutely a sure thing that it will pass the first trial.
At the same time, this is also a proud work that Wu Kangcheng did his best to complete.
But a phone call from his predecessor Zhang Yichi made him feel a little depressed.
He felt that his predecessors were going to meddle in his works and train the newcomers under him.
And this is something he has always hated since he was in the movies.
But Zhang Yichi has the grace of reinvention for him, and he can't ignore it.
"Liao Yuan, pianist, what the hell, I haven't heard of it at all!"
Wu Kangcheng, who has been filming in Taiwan recently and doesn't pay much attention to the turmoil in the entertainment industry, smoked a cigarette and swallowed the smoke, wanting to evacuate the depression in his heart.
After smoking for a while, he waited for his phone to vibrate and a new email came from his email.
He handed over the work to the assistant director, then said a few words on the spot, pointed out the actors' body movements for a while, and finally returned to the nanny's car happily and instructed the assistant to play the audio in the mailbox.
The nanny car is worth more than two million yuan and is equipped with the world's top audio Berlin Sound.
Berlin Sound is also known as the Rolls-Royce of the audio industry, and its sound quality can be seen.
The assistant quickly connected to the director's mobile phone using Bluetooth, and then the sound of music came slowly.
The original folk music ensemble made Wu Kangcheng find it a little interesting.
He lay lazily on the sofa chair, his eyes closed, his face a little tired, as if he wanted to sleep.
"Gentle curves along the ups and downs of the country
The Central Plains of Love, the North and the South of the Yangtze River ......"
As the song began to start, he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a look of careful listening.
"To be a man is a place of liver and gall, and to be a man is not afraid of hardships and dangers
Pride remains the same, year after year......"
As the song progressed, he sat up at once, and his face was surprised, as if he ...... Something a little different from what you imagined?
As the song was described, the information about Zheng Sen that he had consulted during this time came to his mind.
Zheng Sen is Zheng Chenggong, the son of Zheng Zhilong, the chief soldier of Southern Fujian Province, Emperor Longwu gave him the surname of the country and the name "Chenggong", hoping that he would revitalize the Ming Dynasty and recover Taiwan, and Wu Kangcheng's "Great Hero Zheng Chenggong" tells the story of Zheng Chenggong from the "generation of lonely ministers" who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty to the national hero who recovered Taiwan.
Therefore, Wu Kangcheng can't understand the heroic epic that was dominating and turning the world upside down.
Because he knew too much, when the heroic image in his mind gradually overlapped with the provinces, he couldn't help but have red eyes and almost cried.
"Look at the iron hooves and walk all over the rivers and mountains
I stood on the cusp of the storm, holding the sun and the moon as they swirled
May the fireworks be peaceful and happy in the world
I really want to live another 500 yearsβ"
If you give this national hero another 500 years......
Wu Kangcheng's nasal cavity was sore, a five-foot man, and tears were rolling down at this moment.
