Chapter 070: Kaimera!
In the Chinese film industry this year, almost every movie has a few episodes. Just like in the movies of the third brother in later generations, if there is no dancing, it is not called the third brother movie.
Yang Qiu didn't like it very much.
But helplessly, the current audience likes this tune. Didn't you see Bu Wancang's "The Woman and the Tiger", which played two episodes?
The audience likes it, and the theater side likes it even more, and when they see that your song is good, they can add an extra 2,000 yuan to you.
Of course, Cheng Gang's main thoughts are not about these two thousand yuan.
It's the song's promotional role.
Think about it, if this song becomes popular in the future, others will sing it casually, and they will remember that this is an episode of "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring".
But now that the movies of "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" have been released, what should I do if I want to watch it?
Go watch the drama "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring"!
He Cheng Gang even invested in filming movies in order to promote the drama, and he was afraid that he would pay a little more money to make a song? !
Anyway, he's now - not bad for money!
The next day, Cheng Gang took Yang Qiu and found Ye Chunzhi, a composer who often scored movies at this time, to help restore the tune.
To say that this composition gives Yang Qiu the feeling that it is more tiring than acting.
He didn't know how to write music, so he could only hum the song over and over again, letting Ye Chunzhi listen to it to find inspiration and slowly compose music for the lyrics.
After humming dozens of times this day, he felt that he was about to become Cai Qing.
And the song that was composed was always a little different from the song in Yang Qiu's memory, and several people changed it upside down for more than ten days, waiting for the movie to start filming, and then slowly set the tune.
Then, Cheng Gang took the song and went to someone to sing it.
Although Yang Qiu learned a little vocal theory from the crew when he was in the training class, it was only limited to a simple tone of voice.
If you want to say this song, let him hum two sentences is so-so, and it will be difficult for him to sing the whole song.
As the rehearsal gradually came to an end, the props were ready, and the film crew of "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" also started.
However, this time, Yang Qiu and the others did not look for a set to shoot, but ran to the Lai Yuen Playground in Lai Chi Kok.
Lai Yuen Playground, the largest amusement park in Hong Kong that opened just last year, is full of giant Ferris wheels, bumper cars, merry-go-rounds, etc., which are very popular with children.
Of course, Yang Qiu, they definitely didn't come here to play.
Because Lai Yuan is not only an amusement facility, but also equipped with a movie theater, Cantonese opera and singing stage, so that adults can enjoy the atmosphere of entertainment here.
What's more, Cheng Gang didn't know what method he used, so he signed a cooperation agreement between the repertory troupe and the operator here, and in the future, the repertory troupe and the Cantonese opera troupe used the Cantonese opera troupe together, performing dramas in a cycle.
Now, it is logical to rent a Cantonese theater to shoot a promotional film for a two-day drama.
However, because the Cantonese opera works during the day and evening, the crew can only start using the venue for filming after the show ends at 9 p.m.
Therefore, filming all night must be extremely hard.
Fortunately, now the entire crew is newly built and vibrant, and everyone is holding back a lot of energy in their hearts, and no one complains.
Of course, at most, it will only be two or three nights of shooting, and it will not be much hard.
So that night, after the audience in front of them had finished, Yang Qiu and others walked into the theater with their heads held high and carrying props and equipment under the strange eyes of those people in the Cantonese Opera Troupe.
"Table, table, this way. ”
"Oops, the corner of the table is off, Xiaohu!
"The curtain is a little higher. ”
"Brighter lights!"
“……”
Throughout the theater, people came and went, and the crew members were energetically fiddling with the scenery.
Li Hanxiang walked around the stage in a tattered costume and a prop kitchen knife, pouting in his mouth.
Look at that look, it's obvious that it's tense to the extreme.
"Brother, you forgot your wine bottle. Hu Jinquan from the props team ran over and stuffed an antique ceramic wine bottle into Li Hanxiang's arms.
"Oh, yes, wine, wine, wine......"
Li Hanxiang pulled the cork open, raised his head and stuffed the bottle to his mouth, and was so startled that Hu Jinquan shouted: "Brother, this is a prop!"
“……”
Li Hanxiang's movements paused, and he immediately came to his senses, and looked at the mouth of the inclined bottle that really didn't shed half a drop of liquid, and said embarrassedly: "I know, I know." ”
"Brother, didn't you have a good drop during rehearsals? ”
"You know what. Li Hanxiang's neck was thick and said: "This is making a movie, not a drama." ”
"You've acted in movies, too. ”
"The previous ones were all tricks, so can it be called acting?" Li Hanxiang's black face showed a few flushes, and said: "I am now a horn, and I am the protagonist." ”
"Heh-" Hu Jinquan sneered and said: "Then there are really enough protagonists in this play, I'll count, one, two, three, four, five, ......."
"Get out!"
Before Hu Jinquan could finish counting, the annoyed Li Hanxiang kicked him in the ass. If it weren't for this kid's young and fast running, I'm afraid he would have to take a second kick.
"Yang Qiu, aren't you nervous?"
Under the stage, a high platform was set up, and the cameraman Wang Deliang was debugging the camera on the stage.
At the bottom of the high stage, Cheng Gang, who was assisting Yang Qiu on the side, although he was wearing a costume, obviously saw a scene on the stage, and turned back to Yang Qiu on the side and asked.
Raising his head and casually admonishing Wang Deliang, Yang Qiu turned his head and said with a smile: "What can be stressful, just like during rehearsal." ”
"That's good. ”
Because it was filmed in the theater closed, it saved the trouble of clearing the venue. Yuan Qiufeng, who was the field manager, saw that everything was ready, so he ran to Yang Qiu's side and said, "Director, it's all ready." ”
"Good. ”
Yang Qiu nodded, sat on the director's chair, moved his buttocks, and said, "Then let's get ready to start." ”
"Good. Yuan Qiufeng, who received the instructions, nodded, raised his body and shouted around: "Ready, everyone is ready, quiet, ready to shoot." ”
Although this movie is a copy of the drama "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" on the screen, when filming, it is really impossible to shoot from beginning to end without changing a single shot like a Cantonese opera film.
Yang Qiu still has to nod his face.
So in the script, there are still a few shots such as medium shots, close-ups, and close-ups, although there are not many.
So the filming of the movie, there were several separate scenes, so they were disrupted to shoot.
This first scene is the beginning of the story of the third act of the drama - "Peach Blossom Spring".
"Ready, ready!"
"Lights OK?"
“OK!”
"Don't be noisy. ”
After a while, Yuan Qiufeng finished asking, looked at the scene and quieted down for a while, and immediately bowed his head to Yang Qiu and said, "Director, it's okay." ”
"Good. ”
Yang Qiu straightened his back, feeling dozens of pairs of eyes on him at the scene, and for no reason, he felt a trace of panic.
Raising his right hand, Yang Qiugang wanted to shout the familiar phrase 'Kai Maila', but found that although his mouth was open, he didn't make any sound.
He felt a chill on his forehead and his hands trembled......
Yuan Qiufeng looked at him;
Li Hanxiang looked at him;
Yang Meng looked at him;
Liu Lianghua looked at him;
Cheng Gang......
Suddenly, Yang Qiu closed his eyes fiercely, waved his right hand heavily, and shouted.
"Kaimera!"
