Chapter 216: Movie Interlude - "Bloodstained Style"
Director Xie, didn't the newspaper say that you were filming in Nanxi, Yunnan? Why did you go back to Shanghai? Govin let Xie Jin and the woman beside him into the room, and then made tea for the two of them before sitting on the sofa and asked with a hint of excitement.
He had already figured out why the middle-aged woman took out the newspaper to take a few glances after seeing her, and it turned out that she was holding the photo of Gowen's arrest that was concocted by the unscrupulous editor Duan Qigang during the editorial incident. Having said that, when he knew that Xie Jin actually used this photo to know himself, Ge Wen still felt a little depressed in his heart. But this frustration has long been dispelled by the curiosity in my heart.
"Haha, yes, we were still in Yunnan the day before yesterday, didn't we just come back. Xie Jin laughed heartily.
""Garland Under the Mountain" is finished?" Govyn asked curiously.
Xie Jin shook his head, and then the middle-aged woman beside him explained: "It's just that the pictures in Guangxi and Yunnan have been filmed, and in a few days, the film crew will have to go to Guangyuan, Jiange and other places on April 1 to shoot some pre-war scenes of the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam." This drama is very rushed, and we have just come back from Yunnan, and we have to rush to the fourth ............ tomorrow."
Govin nodded and said that he knew that the middle-aged woman who spoke was Director Xie Jin's assistant and Comrade Wu Zhennian, the assistant director of "Garland Under the Mountain". It was she who found the protagonist in the movie "Liang Sanxi" for Xie Jin for the crew of "Garland Under the Mountain". And "Jin Kailai..." "If not, I'm afraid that "Garland Under the Mountain" may delay the filming indefinitely due to Xie Jin's pickiness.
Since he talked about the filming of the movie, Govin was naturally very interested in asking the two about various problems in the filming of the movie.
In the face of Gewen's interested question, I don't know why Xie Jin fell into silence, and Wu Zhennian deserved to be Xie Jin's partner for many years, seeing Xie Jin pondering, he immediately chatted with Gewen enthusiastically.
She talked about the pain and joy of filming movies, and the life of the crew in Yunnan.
"Govin, you don't know, when we were in Nanxi, there was already an atmosphere of unease and tension there, and many people in our crew were worried about whether bullets would come from the opposite side, and everyone was worried about whether the shells on the opposite side would fall on their ............heads."
Later, the smell of gunpowder in the war became stronger and stronger, and the crew was all rumored in Hanoi's "Voice of Vietnam", and the radio station had reported on the radio that Director Xie was filming "Garland" at the border. And at that time, we also heard the news that Vietnamese army agents often infiltrated our territory to interfere and sabotage! Do you know that at that time, we were filming on the high ground just a kilometer away from the border, and as long as the Vietnamese army used any kind of weapon, even the shortest range artillery, it could hit us with shells. Wu Zhennian still has lingering palpitations when he talks about the scene of their filming on the Yunnan border.
Govin nodded in agreement, "I also admire these crew members who want to shoot movies regardless of their own safety."
"Comrade Govin, I have read the "Soldier Assault" that you serialized in "Wen Wei Po", it is a very good military work! Just when Ge Wen was fascinated by what Wu Zhennian said, Xie Jin suddenly interjected.
And hearing Xie Jin speak, Wu Zhennian immediately closed his mouth, "The two have a tacit understanding.
"Hey, Director Xie, do you often read the newspaper?" Hearing Xie Jin's words, Ge Wen couldn't help but ask a little strangely.
I serialized "Soldier Assault" on "Wen Wei Po", which was last month, and at that time Xie Jin was still filming movies on the border of Yunnan, I heard Wu Zhennian say that the climate in Yunnan is not good, and the crew works very hard, especially Director Xie is working day and night, and the border environment is so bad, it has always been shrouded in the shadow of war, Xie Jin still insists on reading newspapers in that harsh environment, which has to be said to be an admirable thing.
"Naturally, I saw it." Xie Jin nodded and said, "I have always loved and reportage, and there are a considerable number of works of this kind, which can not only make people feel the pulse of the times, but also faithfully reflect the voices of hundreds of millions of people in their lives, guiding and pushing history forward." From this outstanding writer, I can strongly feel a kind of dedication to the party, the motherland, and the people, and the fire of pursuing truth. This is all worth learning from us filmmakers.
Gowen said with some surprise: "Director Xie, you are a typical person who lives to learn all the time!" ”。
"Haha." Hearing Gowen's sycophant," Xie Jin couldn't help laughing out loud.
This is because Govin doesn't know much about Xie Jin.
Xie Jin works in Shanghai Film Studio, and everyone knows that Xie Jin has two hobbies, one is drinking, and the other is collecting Liu things. Xie Jin subscribed to dozens of newspaper Liu magazines at his own expense, and some of the shooting themes, such as "Wrangler", "Guo Yang", "After Dusk", etc., were all filmed after he read about these Liu things, which aroused his interest in shooting. Even "Wreath Under the Mountain", which is now being filmed, was also filmed by Xie Jin after reading it in the literary issue of the China Writers' Association, and Liu's "October" magazine.
Xie Jin's hearty laughter echoed in the room, and listening to his laughter, a thought suddenly popped into Gowen's mind
Xie Jin is looking for himself, could it be that he has taken a fancy to his "Soldier Assault"?
Otherwise, how could Xie Jin come to the door for no reason? You know, I haven't dealt with him before, and I don't know him. Govyn's mind was suddenly frozen by his own sudden thought.
Turn your work into a movie!
If it could be realized, it would be great!
Govyn's heart began to flutter violently.
And just when Govin was surging at his discovery, Xie Jin stopped his laughter, and then looked at Govin and said with a smile: "Comrade Govyn, I saw in Wen Wei Po that this book of yours is seeking to be published?" Have you found a publisher now? ”
"It has been handed over to Fudan University Press for the publication of the novel." Although Gowen's mouth was a casual answer, his heart was extremely happy.
Judging from the analysis of Xie Jin's tone and content, it seems that Xie Jin really likes his novel!
Pu nodded, "I see that the connection of your novel is very well written, wow, that little poem is very interesting, like lyrics, if you can make up the music, it will be a complete song." ”
"Haha, in fact, the song "Bloodstained Style" was originally a lyric." Hearing Xie Jin talk about his smugness, Govin couldn't help but brag.
"Actually, my book is based on the famous hard sixth company of the Nanjing Military Region, when I interviewed them in the Nanjing Military Region, I listened to their stories and wrote the lyrics of this song "Bloodstained Style" immediately. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely add a song to this song, so that this song "Bloodstained Style" and "Soldier Assault" are dedicated to all the soldiers in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam! Govin swore by it.
Govin did not directly say that "Bloodstained Style" already had a tune, but found an excuse. And the point of what he said is actually to show Xie Jin that "Soldier Assault" is written based on real people and real events, which is very valuable for filming, and if Xie Jin makes "Soldier Assault" into a movie, it will definitely cause a sensation throughout the country.
It's a pity that Xie Jin is not as interested in "Soldier Assault" as Govin thought, and at this time he is filming "Garland Under the Mountain", and he has no time or mood to think about the next movie.
So when Govin heard Xie Jin's request, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Comrade Govyn, the filming of "Garland Under the Mountain" will be completed in two or three months, and now our crew has begun to enter the post-production process, I think your song "Blood-stained Style" is very well written, and it is very compatible with the ** picture in "Garland Under the Mountain", so I want to use your "Bloodstained Style" in the soundtrack of my movie, you see ......"......
Xie Jin finally noticed the discomfort on Gowen's face, and he couldn't help but stop and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Gewen took a breath and smiled bitterly, "Director Xie, you just fell in love with "Bloodstained Style"? Isn't Soldier Assault bad? ”
Xie Jin and Wu Zhennian first looked at each other in confusion, and then they understood Gewen's subtext, and the two couldn't help laughing in unison.
Then Xie Jincai gasped and said: "Comrade Govin's "Soldier Assault" is a very good work, and it is also very suitable for turning into a movie or TV series, but my current focus is on "Garland Under the Mountain", and I haven't thought about the next movie at all..." ......
"Yes, Director Xie directed "Garland Under the Mountain" from the film studio of the crowd 0 won it with great difficulty, and he once assured the leaders that if "Garland Under the Mountain" did not surpass his previous works, then he would say goodbye to the film industry forever! Director Xie has already forced himself to the cliff in order to shoot "Garland Under the Mountain", how can he have time to think about other movies. Wu Zhennian echoed on the side.
Even though Ge Wen was quite thick-skinned, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard Wu Zhennian's words, "Ha, it's okay, as long as Director Xie thinks it's good, just use it, I don't have any opinion." ”
"Thank you then!" Xie Jin glanced at Wu Zhennian and said with some excitement.
Xie Jin and Wu Zhen came to Gewen for "Bloodstained Style", and he was under a lot of pressure when he assured the leaders that he would shoot "Garland Under the Mountain" perfectly. If a movie has a soundtrack, it will inevitably affect the quality of the movie, and Xie Jin has already begun to consider the episode of "Garland Under the Mountain" before the film starts. He discussed it with the film's soundtrack many times, but couldn't get the music he wanted, and then he stumbled upon Gowen's "Bloodstained Style" and immediately took a fancy to the lyrics.
And this time, the crew of "Garland Under the Mountain" returned to Shanghai after filming in Yunnan, and after only two days of rest, they would set off again for 41 shooting.
"I have one condition, though." Govyn suddenly remembered something.
"You say." Xie Jin said happily.
"Director Xie, I can give you the word "Bloodstained Style" for you to use for free. However, if the song is made, it must be approved by me, and if I am not satisfied, then I have the right to withdraw the lyrics of this song. Govin said seriously.
This is because Govin is worried that the soundtrack of the crew of "Garland Under the Mountain" will not be able to make up the song of "Bloodstained Style" and waste such good lyrics. A bad tune not only spoils "Bloodstained Style" but even affects his "Soldier Assault", you must know that Govin has heard the song "Bloodstained Style" in his previous life.
In fact, Govin can be given to Xie Jin together with the song of "Bloodstained Style" in his previous life, but he can't be sure whether "Bloodstained Style" in his previous life and Xie Jin's "Garland Under the Mountain" are in tune, and the bull's head must be on the cow's mouth.
"This ......" ...... Xie Jin hesitated.
"Comrade Govyn, is this a bit too much? If we do a good job and you are not satisfied, wouldn't it be in vain? Wu Zhennian's face changed slightly.
"That's not what I meant." Hearing Wu Zhennian's somewhat reproachful tone, Ge Wen hurriedly explained, "Director Xie, Director Wu, tell you the truth, in fact, I also know a little bit of music, for this "Bloodstained Style", in fact, I already have a general arrangement idea, if the song you make up is better than the song I pondered, then I have no opinion at all, but if the tune I ponder is better, then I can also make this tune free for you to use." ”
Looking at the somewhat suspicious looks of the two, Govin knew that what he said was not convincing at all, so he directly and gently hummed the tune of "Bloodstained Style" in his previous life.
And listening to the beautiful melody in this Govern's mouth, Xie Pu and Wu Zhennian couldn't help but widen their eyes.
"Is this a song you made up?" I've just listened to more than half of it," Xie Jin asked as he stared at Govin excitedly.
"It's also foolishness." Govin snorted.
"Great! "Garland Under the Mountain" is a work that depicts the noble and great hearts of ordinary people. The protagonist of the movie, Liang Sanxi, is a company commander from the ** old area, who silently sacrificed himself for the construction of the army and the dignity of the country in a very poor life. Before he died, he left behind not earth-shattering rhetoric, but a blood-stained bill in arrears. This song of yours is just right for the first picture of the movie, sad but firm, it is really seamless and complements each other! Xie Jin said the excitement in his heart loudly in one breath.
Then he stared at Gowen tightly and said, "Comrade Gowen, can you give me the music you made up as well?" There is no song you made up that is more worthy of the lyrics of "Bloodstained Style", and there is no song that is more suitable for the scene of Liang Sanxi's sacrifice in the movie! “
"In that case......... Wen chuckled softly.
Xie Jin and Wu Zhennian kept thanking Govin when they left.
With the progress of the times, "more and more filmmakers have realized the huge role of music in film.
Film music, in the film, can deepen the theme, deepen the emotion, deepen the content, render the background atmosphere, and express the inner emotions of the characters. When filmmakers discuss the contrasts between scenes and scenes, events and events, and shots and shots, creating a visual and emotional shock to the audience, music plays a considerable role in it. In film and television works, music and film images will be combined into different sound and picture relationships, thus producing a unique aesthetic effect of the film.
The organic combination of music, sound effects, and language in a film can alternately complement each other, which can form a tension and a strong expressive force that is not found in a single picture element.
Sight and hearing do not belong to the same category, but as a comprehensive art of film, music must be dissolved in the whole rest, and the pool is the complete consistency of the visual image and the auditory image. Therefore, the film music must be subordinated to the structure, rhythm, necessity, length and so on of the film's rest. And the songs and tunes of "Bloodstained Style" created by Govyn are very tacitly in line with the ** plot in "Garland Under the Mountain".
Therefore, Xie Jin and Wu Zhennian can predict what kind of chemical reaction will be caused by the sudden appearance of "Bloodstained Style" in the audience's ears when the movie plays the scene where Liang Sanxi is dying, and when the camera moves to the blood-stained bill left by Liang Sanxi.
"Bloodstained Style" will definitely take the movie "Garland Under the Mountain" to the next level, Xie Jin and Wu Zhennian are extremely sure of it.
So the two asked Govin to finish the song "Bloodstained Style", and then after they returned to Shanghai after filming the location, they recorded the movie interlude together.
Govin watched the two disappear around the corner of the alley, and couldn't help but raise his fist in joy.
Just now, Xie Jin said to him with a smile before leaving, when the filming of "Garland Under the Mountain" is completed, he will go back and watch Govyn's "Soldier Assault", if it can really move him, then it is not indispensable for him to continue filming "Soldier Assault".
Although he knew that this was just a joke from Xie Jin, Gowen was still very happy.
This Xie Dao is really an old man, "knows how to please people."
Not to mention that he decided to involve himself in the soundtrack of "Garland Under the Mountain", and gave himself the opportunity to go into front of and behind the scenes of the crew, just to say that he still resolutely decided to buy his own songs according to the best conditions of this era after he said that he would provide "Bloodstained Style" for free, you know that Director Xie Da is really a great good person.
