At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhang Ran and the creative team ended the day's discussion and went back to the hotel to rest; Zhang Yimou still stayed in the Ming and Qing Dynasty palaces to continue filming, at first he was a little uncomfortable with Zhang Ran and his co-director, but now he feels very good, Zhang Ran has led the creative team to discuss, and he is much more relaxed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Not long after Zhang Ran returned to the hotel, Zhou Jielun came to the door, he chatted with Zhang Ran for a while, and said awkwardly: "I have something I want you to help me see, say okay first, don't laugh at me!"

Zhang Ranqi said: "What is it, how is it mysterious? Could it be that you are pregnant?"

"Fuck off! You're pregnant!" Zhou Jielun scolded, a little embarrassed, "I wrote a script, I want you to help me read it, say okay first, don't laugh at me!"

Zhang Ran said seriously: "If it were something else, I might laugh, but I wouldn't laugh at the script, and I honestly asked someone to read the script to know what it was like." ”

When Jay Chou heard Zhang Ran say this, he touched a script from behind and handed it to Zhang Ran: "Please help me take a look, and tell me how it is after reading it." ”

Zhang Ran glanced at the cover of the script, which said "The secret that can't be said", he had heard of this play, but he hadn't seen it, but he remembered that the box office seemed to be quite good, and the audience's reputation seemed to be okay.

After looking at it, Zhang Ran found that the story of "The Secret That Can't Be Said" is not new, it is the love between men and women who travel through time and space, and copies a lot of classic bridges, such as the "Douqin" section, which is a copy of "The Pianist at Sea". However, although the script is relatively immature, the whole story is very vivid, and there is something very innocent in it, which seems particularly clean.

Jay Chou had been watching Zhang Ran's reaction, and when Zhang Ran closed the script, his throat squirmed, and he asked with a little nervousness, "What do you think?"

Zhang Ran smiled and nodded: "Very good, the rationality is slightly insufficient, but it is acceptable." The story is a love story that travels through time and space, but it feels very real, and this truth should come from your real feelings, and you should write your own experiences and feelings into it. ”

Jay Chou scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "You can see this, well, there are a lot of things in it that are taken from my experience in middle school." ”

Zhang Ran nodded: "I think the best thing about the script is the foreshadowing, this is really a bit unexpected to me, whether it is Ye Xianglun or his father, when they unfold their memories, not only does not destroy the continuity of the story, but the process of uncovering the foreshadowing continuously, it is handled quite well, almost every foreshadowing has a well-designed branch line to cover up, and it is handled very naturally, it is really good!"

Jay Chou rubbed his hands excitedly, Zhang Ran is a big director, he actually spoke so highly of my script? He simply couldn't believe it: "You don't mean to pick up good words, do you?"

Zhang Ran didn't explain, and asked with a smile: "Jielun, have you found an investor for this drama?"

Jay Chou was stunned: "Do you want to shoot this scene?" and then waved his hand and said: "That's not good, I want to shoot it myself." I filmed with you, Liu Weiqiang, and director Zhang Yimou, and I learned a lot of filming skills from you. I also want to challenge the work of film director, make my own film, write, direct and act, which is also a breakthrough for myself!"

It was Jay Chou who wanted to ask Zhang Ran to film this scene, and he was not interested, but he knew that it would be a good business: "I want to shoot the earthquake, and then I have to be busy with the opening ceremony, how can I have time to shoot your script." If you want to make a movie, you must look for investment, if there is no investor, I can invest!"

Jay Chou said with some excitement: "Are you really willing to invest in "The Secret That Can't Be Said", no joke?"

Zhang Ran smiled and nodded: "No kidding, in this way, I will call Qiu Yuanxu of Golden Harvest in a while and ask him to come and talk to you as soon as possible, this drama can be jointly invested by Golden Harvest and Summit Pictures." ”

So the matter was happily decided, of course, it is only an intention now, and the specific cooperation still needs to be interviewed by Jay Chou and Qiu Yuanxu.

For Zhang Ran, this is just a small episode, and the focus of his work is still on the opening ceremony.

Over the next few days, the entire creative team was busy searching for the instruments needed for the welcome ceremony. However, this instrument is very difficult to find, and it must have a strong sense of ceremony, a strong sense of gravity, and a deep sense of Chinese civilization.

After almost a week of tossing, everyone was a little dazed, and they really couldn't find a suitable instrument. At this time, Zhang Ran threw the reel out and proposed that the opening scene could be sung and sang.

The people in the creative team have all heard of the rein, and everyone is familiar with the allusion of Lin Xiangru forcing the king of Qin to strike the rein. Everyone thought that the song sounded very good, and began to check the information of the reed.

Soon, everyone found the explanation of the thread in "Shuowen Jie Zi": "Thread, pottery, so the wine syrup, the Qin people use it to sing songs." To put it simply, the Qin people used the reeds as a musical instrument to beat the beat.

Chen Weiya immediately objected: "It's a clay vessel, we can't put 2,008 clay pots there to knock at the opening ceremony, right? It's too informal, it's almost reminiscent of the beggar gang conference in martial arts novels." ”

Zhang Ran nodded slightly: "You're right, it's really not formal enough to use a clay pot." However, the reins are not only clay pots, the tomb of Marquis Yi has unearthed a bronze reincarnation, which is bronze, and the bronze reeds will have a sense of history and are very formal. While striking the bronze reels, the musicians repeatedly chanted 'Friends from afar, happy to be', the performance is there, and the connotation is also there. ”

Everyone immediately began to check the information of Zeng Hou Yi Copper Jianyi, after seeing the copper Jianyi, they were all bright, Jianyi is square, there are a total of eight dragon ears on its four sides and four corners, making an arch and climbing shape, the tail of the dragon has a small dragon entanglement, and there are two five-petal small flowers as embellishments, which looks very beautiful.

Everyone thinks that if they can push the 2008 copper threads to the bird's nest, they don't need to act, the sense of heaviness, the momentum will come out, and they all think that it is a good idea to use the ropes.

However, as Zhang Ran's most resolute opponent, Chen Weiya could not let Zhang Ran's ideas be easily implemented, and quickly found a basis for vetoing Zhang: ""Zhou Yi Li" records that when the sun leaves, singing without drumming and singing, it will be loud and fierce. This passage reflects the folk customs of the time: for the old man who is about to die, people should sing drums and songs to appease the old man and wish the deceased a smooth journey.

Zhang Ran was stunned, after the opening ceremony of the previous life, a group of sour and rotten literati came out to bite the words and chew the words, saying that the silk was a mourning weapon, but Chen Weiya put forward this opinion now, and immediately retorted: "You understand it wrongly, this passage is obviously about the glory of the sun when it sinks in the west, and if you don't sing it, it is the sigh of the old man in the twilight, and it is a bad omen." If the song is a murderous weapon, then the song can naturally avoid the evil, and how can it be considered that it is a mourning weapon? We all know the story of Lin Xiangru, if the silk is a mourning weapon, how could the king of Qin put the silk on the banquet? If the silk is really a mourning weapon, Lin Xiangru forced the king of Qin to strike the rope, and the king of Qin was insulted a lot more than the king of Zhao, how could the monarchs and ministers of the Qin state be willing to give up on such a great humiliation, and how could the meeting of the pond end peacefully? "Huainanzi Spiritual Training" records that today's husband is poor and despicable, knocking on the pot, singing in harmony, and thinking that he is happy. All this shows that singing is a form of folk entertainment, which may not be elegant enough, but it obviously has nothing to do with mourning weapons. ”

Zhang Ran's words made Chen Weiya speechless, but Chen Weiya was unwilling, and after calling a music expert, he found an instrument that could win over the reel.

Chen Weiya proudly announced his discovery: "柷, a percussion instrument, square, played with a wooden stick, used in court music, is a symbol of elegance, the meaning of the beginning. Whether it is from the connotation, or other than the rope is more suitable. ”

Everyone thinks it is good, it is a symbol of elegance, it is very tasteful, and it is better than the silk in every way.

Zhang Ran also admitted that the connotation of the 柷 is richer than that of the 柷, he remembered that in the previous life Zhang Yimou and they also thought of the 柷, so he said: "The connotation of the 柷 is indeed richer and more tasteful, but the record of the 柷 in the book is very clear, that is, the opening funnel shape, and the top cannot be masked." ”

Chen Weiya retorted: "Why are you masked? It's not a drum. It's very good to use the hammer, you can sing and sing, and the musician can repeatedly chant 'There are friends from afar, it's fun', isn't that good?"

Zhang Ran shook his head and said, "There is a countdown at the beginning of each opening ceremony, and the image is usually played on the big screen, but I think it can be combined with the performance." At 7:58 a.m., a light flashed from the sky, and then the image of a sundial lit up on the edge of the stadium's bowl, and then the sundial reflected a light to a corner of the stadium.

Inside the stadium is 2008 noodles, divided into two rectangular blocks. There are LED lights on the top of the ropes, and the LED lights will light up when the musicians tap on the noodles. When the sundial hits the stadium, it lights up from one corner and then sweeps over the stadium, and the whole stadium is a flickering white light, like stars in the sky. When the clock was almost 59 minutes, all the bands stopped playing and waited tightly. At 59 minutes, the musicians begin to hit the strings, playing the Chinese characters 60 in one row, the Arabic numeral 60 in the other, then 50, 40, and finally 10, 9, 8...... Complete the countdown. ”

Zhang Ran drew the array arrangement and the entire digital countdown, and then explained: "I don't have to use the reed, no matter what instrument I use, I must be masked, so that I can play the digital countdown, it is difficult to achieve this effect without masking!"

There was an eerie silence.

Everyone stared at Zhang Ran with wide eyes and stupidly, and they were all shocked by the idea of a countdown to this number.

You can imagine how exciting it would be when there were two huge countdowns with white lights at the opening ceremony!

After a few seconds, everyone came back to their senses, and Zhang Jigang slapped the table: "This idea is so beautiful, if we can have such an opening, it will definitely shock the whole world!"

Cai Guoqiang was also a little excited: "With this countdown, we have a huge highlight that is different from any opening ceremony!"

Everyone else also sang praises, and Ma Wen even applauded, everyone thought this idea was too good!

Chen Weiya hesitated for a moment and retorted: "We can also mask our faces with a rope, we don't necessarily have to use a rope, right?"

Zhang Ran explained: "This instrument has been lost in our country, but it is still in the surrounding South Korea and Vietnam. If we put a mask on it, South Korea will laugh at us, and you say it's a mask, but you change it, you're just fooling. It's different, it's long gone, and it's not clear what it looks like. We can adapt it to our needs, so that the digital countdown can be perfectly realized!"

Chen Weiya naturally didn't believe Zhang Ran's words, so he called a music expert to consult, and the answer he got was that there was a living inheritance in neighboring countries and it could not be changed indiscriminately.

Ji was vetoed, and Chen Weiya couldn't find a new instrument to replace the reel, so the program of percussion and singing was temporarily set.
