336, drum boy

A good director must not be bad in his management skills.

Zhang Fei's directing ability is beyond doubt.

This kind of directorial ability not only refers to the control of the artistry of the film, but also refers to his uniqueness in coordinating the relationship between all parties and maximizing the talents of all parties.

Tang Shuang fully believes that he can manage a crew well, but martial arts and non-martial arts crews are really different.

For example, Weiya has never been used in Zhang Fei's previous film shooting, and it was this accident that happened!

The martial arts crew will have a lot of dangerous actions, and if the director's rhythm is not well controlled, accidents may occur.

Even if there was no accident in Weiya yesterday, there may be another accident the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

This is also Tang Shuang's biggest worry about him before, he has no experience in shooting martial arts movies.

As for the quarrel between Zhang Fei and Zhang Yu, I heard Tan Si say that it was caused by a different understanding of the script.

This Tang Shuang can understand.

Zhang Yu is a drama master, she is the kind of actor who has her own understanding of the role, and when her understanding of a certain plot is inconsistent with the director, she will boldly put it forward.

Some directors like such actors, others don't.

Ye Liang said that Zhang Fei was a tyrant on the set, which meant that he said the same.

But Tang Shuang believes that he can listen patiently to the different understandings of the leading actors, and he will accept it if he is reasonable.

This is a necessary quality of a good director, who is good at accepting the advice of different people, and is also the way to get along with big-name actors.

——

When Tang Shuang and Tan Si arrived at the crew, Zhang Fei and Li Ying both went to the press conference.

Most of the press conference has passed, and it will end not long after, but the media reporter's questions have not been asked at all, and Zhang Feiwei has been chased and intercepted.

At this time, the assistant director Zhao Yang knocked on the door and came in, he heard that Tang Shuang had arrived, so he came to meet him.

Zhao Yang: "Screenwriter Tang, Director Zhang is on his way back, do you want to see him." ”

Of course, Tang Shuang went with Zhao Yang, and Tan Si stayed.

When he saw Zhang Fei, the director, who was full of energy every time he met, showed fatigue, and when he saw Tang Shuang, he tried to smile and pat him on the shoulder: "Okay, Xiaoshuang is here." ”

The two went to the room and sat down, and Zhao Yang wanted to go out and give them space to talk.

Zhang Fei: "Lao Zhao, don't go, sit down, let's talk." ”

Zhao Yang didn't sit down immediately, but made a pot of coffee and poured a cup for Zhang Fei and Tang Shuang.

Zhang Fei: "I have to rely on coffee to refresh myself, I didn't expect it." ”

As he spoke, he rested his right elbow on the armrest and rubbed his brow.

Zhao Yang said to Tang Shuang: "Director Zhang didn't sleep all night yesterday. ”

Tang Shuang: "Your body is important, taking care of your body is the first priority, Director Zhang took a nap at noon." ”

Zhang Fei waved his hand: "With so many things, I can't sleep at all." ”

Tang Shuang: "I generally know everything about the crew, and they all broke out together in an eventful time, but from another point of view, it is not a good thing for these contradictions to break out. ”

Director Zhang was noncommittal and asked Zhao Yang: "What do the police and the management committee say now?"

Zhao Yang gave an introduction to the latest situation, one is still under investigation, and the other is still ambiguous.

Zhang Fei burst into a foul mouth and said, "Don't let me find out who is behind the troublemaker, otherwise he won't be able to eat and walk around!"

Zhao Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "Zhang Yu hasn't returned to the hotel for the past two days. ”

Zhang Fei said lightly: "Where did you go?"

Zhao Yang: "I went to Rongcheng." ”

Zhang Fei didn't speak again, probably dissatisfied.

The scene fell silent for a while......

Tang Shuang thought for a while and said: "At this time, the most important thing is to unite internally and stabilize the morale of the army first. ”

Now the crew of "Hero" is in turmoil, and the leading actors, martial arts fingers, stand-ins, and soundtracks have their own thoughts.

The hearts are not aligned, even if there are no external contradictions, when the film restarts, it will be difficult to cooperate as expected.

Zhao Yang agreed: "Screenwriter Tang is right, now people are panicking, we must not be chaotic outside, we ourselves are in chaos." ”

Zhang Fei is a pragmatist, and asked directly: "How to operate?"

Zhao Yang was speechless for a moment, and looked at Tang Shuang for help.

Tang Shuang smiled at him and said, "Is this okay? I came to the crew for the first time, met with everyone for the first time, and invited all the crew members to have a meal. ”

Tang Shuang's invitation to everyone to eat was just a reason, and the real purpose was to put the team's minds in order.

Zhang Fei's eyes lit up and looked at Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang nodded and said, "Screenwriter Tang's method is completely feasible. ”

If you decide, do it immediately.

The time is set for tonight, and Zhang Fei originally meant that it will be set for tomorrow night, because Zhang Yu is still far away in Rongcheng, and she is indispensable.

But after Zhao Yang communicated with Zhang Yu on the phone, she said that she would come back immediately and would be there before seven o'clock in the evening.

There are direct flights from Rongcheng to Jiuyeyuan.

The meeting place was at the hotel where they stayed, and the crew chartered the entire banquet hall.

Zhao Yang left Zhang Luo, and Tang Shuang and Zhang Fei continued to stay in the room to talk.

Zhang Fei: "Tan Si has found you." ”

Tang Shuang nodded: "He picked me up at the highway intersection." ”

Zhang Fei: "I'm generally satisfied with the soundtrack he made, but I always feel like something is missing, Xiaoshuang listened, right?"

Tang Shuang had already heard it in Tan Si's room just now.

"I've heard that, but I actually feel the same as you, that something is missing. ”

Zhang Fei saw that Tang Shuang had the same point of view as him, and said happily: "I'll just say it, but I'm not a professional, I can't tell the reason, I can't describe it to Tan Si, so he is probably quite embarrassed, what are you missing?"

Tang Shuang: "That music is called wind, and the wind is the soundtrack of the Qin army when it fights, and it is a slogan that adds momentum when ten thousand arrows are fired, so it should be murderous!"

Zhang Fei's eyes lit up and said, "You mean that there is less murder in the music?"

Tang Shuang nodded: "It is indeed less murderous, Tan Si's music is atmospheric, humanistic, and compassionate, but there is less murderous spirit." ”

Zhang Fei: "When you say that, it really feels like it! Then how do you add a murderous aura? Do you want to record the sound of swords and horses' hooves?"

Tang Shuang: "Of course, it is also a method, but if you add these, it will be difficult to control all kinds of sounds, and the more musical instruments, the more difficult it is to control, and it will not seem so natural." ”

Zhang Fei: "You are a professional, you are in charge, I just make suggestions." ”

Tang Shuang: "Actually, the war drum is the instrument that can best render murderous energy. ”

Zhang Fei: "There are already war drums in it. ”

Tang Shuang: "That kind of drum sound is too soft, it is a modern drum style, not murderous enough." ”

Zhang Fei: "Then what drum is appropriate?"

Tang Shuang: "Has Director Zhang ever heard of the drum boy?"

Zhang Fei shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, what, it's a child who plays drums?"

Tang Shuang: "The drum boys are not children who play drums, but a group of young people who play drums, and I think they will be very suitable for heroic drum beating." ”

Zhang Fei: "Where are they? It's an orchestra, right?"

Tang Shuang introduced that Gutong was in a deep ravine in Shudi, a very hidden village, living an almost isolated life. In that village, all the villagers were carefully selected before they were allowed to join. After joining, they will not start training to play drums immediately, but first spend a hard life ranging from one to three years, hone their will and spirit, those who can't survive and those who do not perform well will be eliminated, and only the young people who persist in the end can become drum boys and receive professional training.

It was the first time Zhang Fei had heard of such a mysterious village, and asked, "Then what do they rely on to maintain their daily consumption?"

Tang Shuang continued to introduce Zhang Fei.

After becoming a drum boy, he only entered the door, and it was still early to enter the house. Only if you pass the skill and heart can you enter the drum boy orchestra. The Drum Boys Orchestra can leave the Drum Village and perform drums around the world. The source of the Drum Village's expenses is the income from the performances of the Drum Boy Orchestra......

Zhang Fei sighed: "The world is so big, it's really strange, I didn't expect there to be such a strange thing as a drum boy." ”

Tang Shuang: "These people are really passionate about music, and fame and fortune are the by-products derived from love." ”

Zhang Fei nodded: "Actually, this is the principle of any major. As long as you really love and do it with your heart, God will never treat him badly. On the contrary, those who are bent on fame and fortune end up empty. ”

Tang Shuang: "If you want to say that Chinese drum music is the best, it must be the drum boy." Their training methods are retro, their music style is very old-fashioned, they are majestic, they are full of spirit, and if they have a murderous spirit, they will definitely be able to play. ”

Zhang Fei asked, "You can find it and try it, but do you know where Drum Village is?"

Tang Shuang: "I know the approximate location, but I don't know where it is." ”

Zhang Fei: "Didn't you say that there is a drum boy orchestra performing outside? ”

Tang Shuang shook his head: "Every winter and summer, they must go back to Drum Village to train, and they will come out to perform in spring and autumn." ”

Zhang Fei was stunned and sighed: "Practicing Sanjiu in winter and practicing Sanfu in summer is really unusual." ”

The two chatted for a while, Tang Shuang went to call Tan Si, and the three of them discussed around the soundtrack of "Hero".

This is the first time the trio have spoken openly about a film soundtrack, striving for maximum agreement.

Although Tang Shuang and Zhang Fei had some tacit understanding in music for a long time, they did not fully express their views.

Later, because all the music matters were handed over to Tan Si, Tang Shuang no longer intervened, so he would not take the initiative to talk about the soundtrack.

Now it seems that Zhang Fei and Tan Si have always had a layer of estrangement in music.

Tang Shuang didn't know what this barrier was and how it came about, but the two sides intended to use him to draw the strings and eliminate this barrier.

Tang Shuang was happy to see it.
