Chapter 281 wants a picture, a formation, and a sense of beauty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The spirit and culture left by the predecessors are not measurable by material things, and Wang Yao even dislikes them for being expensive, which is really insulting.

However, this consumption is indeed a bit big for Wang Yao, no wonder the system ridiculed him for not being able to afford it.

Ashamed and embarrassed, Wang Yaoqing coughed twice, "Can you recover part of it?"

The film production of "Zodiac Turn" is still in the generation system, and tens of millions of production flowers will be consumed every day, but most of the time Wang Yao is not satisfied, so he can only sort out and regenerate, originally thought that the prestige value of more than 200 million could make this movie, but now he thinks that it is indeed his own naivety.

At the same time, Wang Yao also has a new understanding of the directors and cast and crew who make high-quality movies, because it is not easy to make movies, especially if you want to make a satisfying movie.

"Yes, generate a recovery list. The system hesitated for a while, and a list appeared, with various titles on it, but there was no translation and introduction, Wang Yao could only choose a dozen books literally, about 60,000 words, and spent millions of prestige points to restore and absorb the information.

These are all Buddhist music, and there is also an ancient song from the late Tang Dynasty.

Wang Yao's current music level is intermediate, and only pop music and classical music are all primary, and then he found that the original music is biased, although he has copied the guqin score, but he really doesn't know anything about ancient music, and he doesn't know how to translate and operate the music score, which makes him even more congested.

Restoring a musical instrument from hundreds of years ago is not an easy task, it can be said that it is difficult, the first is the literature, in the development of writing, even if there are some Chinese characters, it is not ancient today, so we must be cautious in the study of literature.

In addition, Dunhuang is a place of great cultural blending, and there are as many as 13 ancient characters unearthed in this grotto, which shows that in the process of blending, we should try to restore the original meaning.

In the development of modern physics and science, coupled with the Dunhuang murals and scriptures, it is difficult to have a timbre, because there was no gramophone in ancient times, so it is more difficult to archaeological ancient sound.

If the restored things don't have that kind of charm in terms of timbre and function, the restored things will have little practical meaning.

Wang Yao first started to sort out the academic materials of modern music theory and musical instruments, and was ready to consult Ms. Fan Jinshi later, she must know Dunhuang musical instruments well.

The grottoes in Dunhuang are not the same as the mausoleums buried in the ground, so there is no great technical difficulty in excavation, because the meaning of the grottoes is to store the essence of the monks, show them to the believers, and leave them for cultivation, rather than the same as the mausoleum, in order to prevent others from stealing, and keep the treasures for themselves.

Therefore, there will be no hidden weapons and special poisonous gases in the grottoes, the only thing that is more difficult is the cleaning work, the murals and scriptures in the grottoes are valuable cultural heritage, and the cleaning of this kind of thing must have a high level of art and historical literacy, and at the same time be proficient in some physics knowledge, so every archaeological team member is the elite of the elite.

But being the elite of the elite is not an easy thing, so it is particularly difficult to find talents, and there is a shortage of talents, and the Dunhuang Research Institute is now a key object, but there are only more than 40 people in total, and it is estimated that it will take more than three days to clean up this stone room.

At the end of the first day of cleanup, Tan Dun became a fan of Fan Jinshi and asked a lot about Dunhuang culture. ”

Tan Dun, who was excited, calmed down and sneered, "It seems that I'm too excited." ”

On the way back, the two chatted about Dunhuang culture, and Wang Yao proposed, "Are you interested in bringing Dunhuang music to the international stage?"

"It's not a matter of interest, it's a mission. "Tan Dun Zhengsedao" Dunhuang music is the most important part of Chinese folk music, which contains ancient thoughts, religion, imperial power and other understandings, can be called a national treasure, but also for the re-formation of Chinese ancient music has great significance, I am ready to stay here to prepare for a while. ”

"Wait, you made the soundtrack for 'Hero' first. Wang Yao was stunned and interrupted.

"You can do it if you stay here. Tan Dun said.

"Big brother, the atmosphere of Dunhuang here is too heavy, "Hero" is not a free desert style, there is also an iron dynasty, bamboo forests, mountains and flowing water, and small bones are tender, you will digress if you create it here. Wang Yao rolled his eyes: "Don't think I don't understand music. ”

Tan Dun scratched his head, "I'll think about it again." ”

"Don't worry, this is not something we can be anxious about, you see that Dean Fan has been here for almost fifty years, we can't be more anxious than her, so we have to follow the rhythm of the experts." Wang Yao smiled and said, "Before leaving, I will copy some of the materials of Dunhuang culture and take it away for you to study, and let Dean Fan inform us of any new results." ”

"Well, that's right, after all, you haven't dared to recover easily after so many years, so let's not be pretentious. Tan Dun smiled.

Director Zhang also has a new process on his side, the footage of the remnant sword flying snow has been filmed for a week, and finally reached the level of satisfaction that makes him satisfied, Wang Yao has a new respect for Director Zhang's aesthetics and compositional conception again.

Now comes the main event, the real big scene.

More than 1,300 people, restoring the magnificence of the siege of the city during the ancient cold weapons, everyone was wearing black armor, carrying iron shields and spears in the desert, Wang Yao, who was standing on the hillside, couldn't help but sigh a little.

"There are still fewer people. Director Zhang muttered with some dissatisfaction.

"It's a lot, but the budget is limited. The assistant director laughed as he spoke.

There are professional horse farms in Dunhuang, and they are all trained, which used to be used to receive tourists and supply stallions, and later Dunhuang became a filming location and the scale of the horse farm expanded to provide horses for the crew.

Although the land of Dunhuang is not as fertile as that of Xinjiang and Mongolia, the horses raised are more sturdy and more adaptable to the sand.

This time, 300 horses were tuned to test the camera.

The circus actors are all professional from all over the country, and with the Qin Dynasty armor specially designed and restored by Wang Yao, riding a war horse does have a bit of a general's demeanor.

Qin Xuanse, Xuanse and the yellow sand of the desert outline a different kind of magnificent picture, because there are many people, so the dust is flying, and the soldiers can only see the outline to appear more mysterious and bold.

The first audition was more than 300 cavalry, rushing down from the dunes, and the hooves of the horses were dusting loudly.

"The camera zooms out a little further and turns the drone over. Entering the shooting, Director Zhang instantly became energetic, staring at the picture and giving orders in an orderly manner.

Although separated from the front, but when the hundred horsemen galloped down wildly, and the momentum of the neighing of the war horses really appeared in front of them, people would really be timid, Wang Yao finally knew why the combat effectiveness of the cavalry was so strong in ancient times.

It's not necessarily that it's strong in lethality, but it's just that this kind of murderous aura like divine help puts too much mental pressure on people.

At the same time as giving Wang Yao a great deterrent, it also made Wang Yao suddenly inspired, he thought of the story when he saw the six horses of Zhaoling in the museum, Li Shimin led a hundred horsemen to sneak attack and chase is really feasible, and after substitution, he is really heroic.

"Swore to sweep away the Huns without regard for themselves, and five thousand mink brocade mourned Hu Chen.

Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream. Wang Yao looked at the magnificent picture of the iron horse raising dust, and sang softly.

Tan Dun trembled with excitement, and was stunned after hearing Wang Yao's poem, "Such a majestic and majestic picture, such a feminine and sad picture is not good, it should be Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain, and the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass." The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken. ”

"Phew, what Lao Tzu wants is that the black clouds will crush the city and destroy it, and the armor light will open to the sun!" Zhang Dao, who raised his arms and stepped on the table, said excitedly.

Although the picture is really beautiful, Wang Yao and others seem to be able to feel it from the perspective of the sun's movement, the funds are burning again, and finally it is more than one o'clock in the afternoon, the first time to eat, Director Zhang's filming progress is only about the link of arranging the troops, according to this speed, it will take at least a week to finish filming this big scene, these thousands of people and horses cost a lot of money every day, and the assistant director will be on fire in one morning.

"The money has been spent, and it can't be bad. Director Zhang said, "Do you think I don't know that the funds are limited, but isn't it worse if the film is not shot well?" ”

The assistant director resignedly responded and went to the side to complain to Wang Yao.

Wang Yao and Tan Dun are shrinking under the sun umbrella to study the sound of the desert, Tan Dun feels that the sound of nature is the most beautiful nature, so there is a special equipment for collecting audio, which is quite advanced, and in the morning collected various sounds of horses stepping on dust and sand and wind and horse roaring, and the two are reminiscing.

After listening to the assistant director's complaints, Wang Yao understood the meaning.

Although Director Zhang has a gentle personality and does not lose his temper, he does have the biggest temper, or the most stubborn, he does not quarrel with you, and he accepts any opinions you put forward humbly, but he still looks at the direction he believes and will not listen to your opinions at all.

After so many years of cooperation, there are only a few people who can talk about Director Zhang, and now Wang Yao is one of them, and Wang Yao is the best among them, so the assistant director and producer like to ask Wang Yao for help.

Wang Yao thought about it, these big scenes are all for the picture, this is Director Zhang's pursuit in his bones, it is just the icing on the cake for the movie, the audience will not give praise because of the big scene of the movie, the focus is on the story of the movie.

Of course, composition and editing are also very important, but the core is the storytelling and expression.

Since Director Zhang is willing to spend on the big scene, Wang Yao helped him shoot the story of the characters, the character structure was processed by Wang Yao, and he is also the art director, Director Zhang helped shoot several scenes a few days ago.

"You shoot here again, I'll go over there and give them a rehearsal for the martial arts. Wang Yao said to Director Zhang with a smile.

Director Zhang glanced at the assistant director who was thief in the distance, and smiled, "What's the matter?

"Isn't it saving you money? Wang Yao smiled and quipped, "Give me two hundred infantry, and the last general will go to drill and drill." ”

"Remember three points, to the picture, to the formation, to the beauty. Director Zhang said with a smile.

"I'll just shoot according to what I painted, and you agreed, I don't care if I do it. Wang Yao chuckled, and went to the factory to select more than 100 group performances and went to another filming location.
