Chapter 186: Those Eyes Are Moving
There's a cool scene in "I Learned to Play the Guitar".
The main character practices the guitar, from jerky to proficient, and the scenery outside the house runs from spring to winter. Zhang Tan's acting skills can be said to be almost zero, but fortunately he doesn't have to speak, everything will be replaced by narration after the filming is over.
The camera is aimed at the eyes of everyone in the crew.
Zhang Tan sat on the sofa, holding the guitar, playing slowly. A repetitive melody, what the tune is, others don't know, only see Zhang Tan from slow to fast, constantly playing. When the speed reached the fastest moment, it came to an abrupt end, and Zhang Tan clenched his fists and made an exhilarating gesture.
"Cards!"
Judging from the playback screen, the effect is very good.
In his handsome posture of playing the guitar, Zhang Tan silently scored 99 points according to the usual practice.
One point less is for fear of pride
After admiring himself, Zhang Tan pointed to this picture and said to Chen Li: "Wait a minute, you will take someone to the opposite building, put the window facing a few rooms outside, decorate them with props, and we will shoot a shot of the four seasons, and then in post-production, embed the changes of the four seasons." β
βOKγβ Chen Li happily agreed, took people to the opposite side, and arranged props.
And in this room, continue to shoot.
It's all a separate shot of Zhang Tan practicing guitar.
After a whole day, all indoor shooting was over, and the next day began to move to the Four Seasons Hall of Building A of Nortel for shooting. In the Four Seasons Hall, the dialogue between Zhang Tan and Chen Li was mainly filmed, of course, Chen Li was saying some sharp lines.
Then Zhang Tan only needs to hold the guitar and improvise a sentence: "You damn cyst, let me wake up and understand." β
That's roughly how the process was filmed.
That's it. The filming of the Four Seasons Hall is also over, and I packed up my things. Carry the equipment out the door.
"Hey, Inspector. I don't understand the meaning of the lyrics of the two sentences just now, but the melody is really good. Makeup artist Wu Yali asked curiously, "Did you come up with this casually, Detective, or did you write it, or did you borrow the melody of some song?" β
Zhang Tan was carrying a guitar, quite like a wandering singer, and said lightly: "Oh, do you say I play and sing this." It's a song I wrote before, called "Damn Tender", and I casually changed the two lyrics in it to suit the scene. β
"The detective still writes songs?" Li Duan was surprised.
Before Zhang Tan could answer, Wu Yali hurriedly answered: "Li Duan, how outdated are you, is the inspector a geek in the music world, the theme song of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" "Iron Blood Pill Heart", the ending song "I am a big hero", and the episode "Always Hello in the World" were all written by him. Lyrics and music. β
Li Duan screamed strangely: "No, I only found out today!" These songs, the single on my computer has been looped N times! β
"Low-key, low-key, it's just a few songs. That is, I usually write as a hobby. The expression on Zhang Tan's face was light, and he only shook the guitar on his shoulder slightly. In my heart, I feel that I must be radiant at this moment.
Sometimes. It's really hard to be ordinary.
Wu Yali obviously didn't know Zhang Tan at the moment. How narcissistic and windy it is inside. Sao, very excitedly asked: "Detective, do you still write songs for "The Condor Heroes"?" β
"Well, I can write, but I don't know if the filmmaker will use it." Zhang Tan said modestly.
Since he thought that the novel would be adapted into a TV series, he has silently created many songs, just waiting to be released. These classic film and television hits from the previous life, accompanied by TV series, have long become Zhang Tan's deep memory. If there is only TV without songs, then it is undoubtedly a big loss of color.
Therefore, of course, Zhang Tan will create, and I also believe that these classic songs he copied can continue to become theme songs, ending songs or interludes.
"Detective, the song you wrote is the most suitable for the TV series, and the song you wrote "Condor" must be a classic again. However, if you can sing "Damn Tender" now, I really want to hear it. Wu Yali said happily.
Zhang Tan cleared his throat: "I can't remember all the lyrics, I wrote them a few years ago, I was still relatively young and confused, and the lyrics were a bit pretentious, just listen to the chorus." β
Even though it's only an amateur voice, the chorus part of the cappella is still very good.
"Your damn gentleness makes my heart cry. After breaking up with you, I can't forget it. Your damn gentleness makes me tremble. No amount of excuses can be found, and I will no longer be able to hold your hand. β
Of course, after the chorus was sung, it won Wu Yali's huge admiration.
Several boys also nodded in praise, this kind of sad love song can still touch the sensitive and restless hearts of this group of young people.
Chen Li admired and said: "Detective, you can go to the record, you sing very well, and you can also compose your own music and lyrics, a singer-songwriter!" β
Zhang Tan will tell them that his singing voice has been denied by professionals, of course not.
He said lightly: "Singing is also an amateur hobby, writing lyrics in private, making two tunes, playing the guitar and singing, is the spice of life." It's not interesting to take the commercial route of a professional singer. β
"Yes, Detective, you don't need to be a singer at all, what you do now is more profitable than being a singer." Chen Li's tone of voice was both envious and admired.
Although he doesn't know how profitable Zhang Tan is, he knows that he is definitely very profitable when he thinks about it. usually goes online, and pays attention to Zhang Tan's news, so I know how exaggerated Zhang Tan's novels are.
The earliest "Four Famous Catches Kanto" and "Four Famous Catchers Will Jingshi" sold mediocre, and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" broke out, not only sold more than 10 million copies, but also adapted into TV series, games, and comics.
What's more, there is also "The Condor Heroes", which is not inferior to "Shooting the Condor", and the now popular "Four Famous Catchers". Several novels have driven each other, and now all of them have sold sky-high copyrights.
Last year's Forbes China Celebrity List estimated that Zhang Tan's income was 5.5 million, and this year he will add a zero estimate to the end, but add a "2" in front. It shouldn't be a problem.
With such earning power, there is really no need to think about what kind of singer to be.
β¦β¦
Two days of shooting. Ends most of the footage of "I Learned to Play the Guitar".
The third day is the final wrapping up.
The filming location is located on a bench with a back on Nortel's lawn. The main actors are Zhang Tan and Susha.
The shooting is all about wearing her own clothes, and today Susa is dressed very neatly, with shoulder-length short hair and a little powder. The blue, white and gray striped shirt, paired with a pair of black skinny jeans and flat shoes, exposes a snow-white leg and neck, which looks very trendy.
Susa is a long-legged beauty, plus she is dressed in such a dazzling outfit. Walking on the road, the return rate is as high as 200%.
Zhang Tan had to praise: "Well, well, little girl, in order to grab the camera, today you are full of firepower." β
Susa turned around generously, showing off her graceful figure, and said in a proud tone unique to girls: "It's just a normal dress." β
This self-confidence, this arrogance, Zhang Tan expressed his appreciation very much.
Others have expressed their reluctance to wash their eyes.
Joked for a while. Shooting begins.
"After the camera is turned on, I will know how to act, and I will repeat it again."
Zhang Tan, who has entered the state of director, is still very serious: "The two of us sat on the bench. I would play the guitar and sing, you look at me, and then I finish playing. You have to say from the bottom of your heart, 'Wow, you play so well.'" Then I'll shrug my shoulders reservedly, and then I'll follow. Lean over and put your arms around my neck......"
Susa nodded in understanding.
"Well, pay attention, all units, let's take a shot to the end, don't pause."
Suddenly.
A bench
Sitting side by side sat a man and a woman.
The beauty of the woman is bubbling, and although the man is not handsome enough, the posture of holding the guitar has a bonus, and he barely passes.
If you don't consider the camera in front of you, the crew who pay attention to the salute around the camera, and the students who occasionally pass by and stop to watch, such an atmosphere is still very romantic.
Zhang Tan held the guitar and looked at Susa, who also looked at Zhang Tan.
βActionοΌβ Chen Li shouted.
While!
Guitar sounds.
Zhang Tan immediately entered the rhythm of playing and singing, a few syllables burst out of the strings and vibrated in the air, and he sang affectionately with the guitar: "I like you, those eyes are moving, and the laughter is even more charming...... May I caress you, that lovely face...... Hold hands and talk in your dreams, like yesterday, you and I ......"
The last trill in his throat ended, and Zhang Tan stopped playing.
Gazing at Susa, waiting for her to speak up.
But I saw Susa slightly open her red lips and small mouth, looking at Zhang Tan in confusion, as if she had lost her mind. It took about two seconds before he reacted and said in a panic, "Wow, you play so well." β
At this moment, the four eyes met, Zhang Tan only felt that Su Sha's eyes looked at him, there was a kind of flame that wanted to choose someone to eat, and it seemed to be flickering with a misty thought.
This made Zhang Tan feel inexplicable pressure.
I really want to dodge with my hands and chest back.
At this delicate moment in the atmosphere, Chen Li interrupted all his feelings with a "stuck": "Susa, can you react faster, it's too slow, the rhythm is not right." β
Susa turned her head to avoid Zhang Tan's gaze, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was nervous just now." β
"It's okay, number one." Zhang Tan comforted, and then walked over to watch the replay.
In the replay shot, Zhang Tan played the guitar handsomely, and Susa looked at herself shyly. Others may not have seen anything, but Zhang Tan guessed some information from Susa's distraction just now. Combined with this playback picture, I suddenly felt that Susa was fascinated by her chic posture of playing the guitar and her magnetic singing voice.
The boy who plays the guitar and sings is very chic.
And "Like You", a Cantonese song that Tan can sing, is obviously a huge catalyst, and the little girl can't resist it.
"That's probably the case." Zhang Tan smiled in his heart, and then pressed the thought.
Clapped his hands and said, "Cheer up, let's continue, one more." β
When it was time to shoot again, Susa, who was not in good shape, performed a good rhythm this time, Zhang Tan stopped the guitar, and she immediately followed up and praised: "Wow, you play so well." β
Then Zhang Tan shrugged his shoulders slightly, showing a smug demeanor in a reserved manner.
The next moment, according to the script, Susa leaned over and reached out to wrap her arms around Zhang Tan's neck. He smiled with his head under his neck, on his chest, and on his shoulders.
Facing the camera, the corners of Zhang Tan's mouth curled up in a vague arc.
The scene is picturesque.
Rendered perfectly in the footage.
"Cards! Perfect! PerfectοΌ Chen Li gave a thumbs up on both hands. (To be continued.) )
