Chapter 279: Old? Or is it better to sigh to yourself? (Above)
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was completed in a very low-key manner, but the crew had a meal together and did not invite any media to the scene.
"Thank you this time! It's been a pleasure working with you and hopefully there will be opportunities in the future. Wen Yi said to Li Long with a smile.
"I'm the one to say thank you! It was a pleasure to work with you. I kind of understand why so many people say that you are a demonic genius. Li Long looked at Wen Yi and said seriously, "You will definitely carry a flag of Chinese movies in the future and plant it all over the world!" ”
"You're killing me." Wen Yi smiled and said.
"This is not a killing, but a kind of optimism with hope! The whole Chinese filmmaker, who is not optimistic about you! Yuan Dian suddenly walked over and said, "How long can we filmmakers of the older generation film?" But you're different! You're still in a few years before you turn 30, so you still have a long time to make movies! The most important thing is that your talent shows that you have this potential. ”
"You said you didn't kill me!" Wen Yi smiled, shook his head, and then said, "The more movies are made, the more I find myself, the more inadequacies I have." After the film is released, I plan to go to film school to further my studies. ”
"Film school?" When Yuan Dian and Li Long heard this, they were immediately a little surprised, then glanced at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
"I heard that after you won the Oscar last time, two film schools in China sent you invitations to be honorary professors of their film schools, but you refused. You're not a good professor. But run away to be a student? If the film school you go to is one of those two film schools, it's fine. If not. Estimated those two film schools. I'm afraid I'm going to hate you to death! Yuan Dian smiled and said.
When Wen Yi heard this, he was stunned.
You can be a professor in those two colleges, but you can only be a student in other colleges. That's not to say that students from a certain film school can become professors when they go to those two film schools!
At least that's what Wen Yi thinks, otherwise how could he do that? And Wen Yi's influence is not small.
It is estimated that the reputations of the two film schools will be affected to some extent, and even the students who graduated from the two film schools are estimated to be affected.
This is really hated by those two colleges!
"Director Yuan, you've poured a basin of cold water on me!" Wen Yi cried and laughed, and then said.
He knew he was influential. If this is the case, I don't know what it will be hyped up by the media.
"Which film school did you plan to go to?" Li Long asked suddenly.
"I thought about it in China before, but when I think about it, I guess it's not easy to learn! The fans at home are much crazier than the ones abroad. So I plan to go abroad. Among my foreign languages, I know English. Therefore, it was planned to go to the California Film School in Los Angeles. Wen Yi said.
"The California Film Institute is one of the best film schools in the world. If you go there to study, if you do it well, there will be nothing wrong with public opinion. Yuan Dian smiled and asked again, "What are you going to study?" Director, or acting? ”
"Director! I'm more interested in directing than acting! Wen Yi then said.
"Huh! I advise you to wait and see! If your film wins the Academy Award for Best Director. When I go to the California Film School to study again, I'm afraid I have to reconsider. Yuan Dian smiled. said, "In the academy, you may not be able to learn what you want. Not enough time to study on your own. ”
Yuan Dian is not from the academy, and many big directors are not academic, so in their opinion, the academy may not necessarily make them improve.
What's more, a director like Wen Yi, who has reached a certain level and achieved certain results, wants to progress in the academy, it will be even more difficult.
"It's too early to say that! "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not to mention being released, even the post-production has not yet started. Li Long smiled and said, "But I don't know if those fans of yours know this news, are they happy or worried?" When I went to the academy for further study, I am sure that it was difficult to have new works during that period of time. ”
As they spoke, Yuan Dian and Li Long suddenly found an inexplicable excuse and walked away. Wen Yizheng was puzzled, and then turned around and saw Lin Yuyan, and immediately understood.
"I just heard that you plan to go to the film academy to study, if the conditions allow, can I go with you? I want to learn acting. Lin Yuyan looked at Wen Yi and said.
Lin Yuyan is also not from the academy and has never studied acting. And since his debut, her acting skills have always been criticized. And this time, she has a deep understanding of the shortcomings of her acting skills.
"Let's talk about it then! I don't know if I'm going to go or not!." Wen Yi looked at Lin Yuyan, who was looking forward to it, a little disappointed, and then said again, "If I really go, let's be together then!" ”
When Lin Yuyan heard this, she immediately smiled. The three words "let's go together", in her opinion, is the beginning of Wen Yi starting to accept her.
Although they went to further study together, not together. But it seems to her that as time passes, sooner or later it will be the same.
In the post-production of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Wen Yi has taken a lot of them. Cutting, Wen Yi did it naturally. After all, he has memories of the original version of his previous life, somewhat with some "golden finger" flavor.
In addition to this, there is also film music that Wen Yi did by himself. Moreover, it is almost a copy of the original music, after all, the style of the two films can be said to be in the same vein. And the plot of the film is the same. At most, some of the dialogues are different.
What's more, Wen Yi has a deep memory of the original music, who made the original soundtrack of this film win the Oscar. And Wen Yi's highest achievement in his previous life was in music.
A third-rate singer, a fourth-rate actor, and an unpopular director. Isn't it the highest achievement in music?
Of course, there is another reason, and that is that Wen Yi really likes the original movie music.
The movie songs, which are written smoothly, and there is not much thought wasted at all. The song "Moonlight Lover" was covered by Wen Yi in his previous life, so he is naturally very familiar.
What makes Wen Yi struggle is nothing more than the soundtrack of the movie.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Eternal Oath, Marriage, Night Fight
The opening is the theme music "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and the melancholy and deep melody played on the cello has been throughout the film ever since.
The film is lonely and melancholy, so the music is naturally so.
Just like Li Mubai in order to express his deep love that he had suppressed for many years to Yu Xiulian, he did not hesitate to use his last breath of true anger; And the jade dragon felt disillusioned with life after a series of blows and threw himself off the cliff. The music for these two parts of the film is "Sorrow" and "Farewell" respectively. After a brief period of intense and intense beginning, the cello slowly enters, creating a bleak space with the symphony; And the cello of "Farewell" enters from the very beginning, exuding a sad feeling.
The cello is not Wen Yi's good instrument, so for this, he specially invited the most famous cellist in China.
That kind of flavor requires a master to play.
The post-production is relatively boring, but watching the film take shape step by step, there is a different kind of joy.
There are not many special effects, but not nothing, and the most influential thing in the original version is undoubtedly the city model of the capital. Although it was fleeting, it left a deep impression on Wen Yi. To this end, Wen Yi also made a special study of the ancient city.
Naturally, this film is perfect.
For this reason, after Wen Yi completed the production, he also specially invited some familiar filmmakers to watch it and let them give their opinions. Among them, Zhang Xiaogang and Xu Ke, two great directors in China, have an excellent relationship with Wen Yi, so they are naturally among them.
"What? Everyone, give us some advice! While the film has not yet been released, if there are any shortcomings, I can also revise them. ”
At the end of the film, Wen Yi looked at those who fell into deep thought after watching it, and said seriously.
Everyone came back to their senses, Zhang Xiaogang and Xu Ke glanced at each other, and then sighed at the same time, and said, "It seems that we are really old!" (To be continued......)
