The editor of "Soul Surfer" was Suzanne Hines, Ye Wei and her collaboration began with "The Wedding is Coming", TET was edited by him alone, and because she was not qualified enough, LMS ended up using the big-name William Goldenberg.

Although Ye Wei and Goldenberg had a conflict about the choice of ending, they didn't have any hatred, and it was okay to continue to cooperate, but this time he wanted to cooperate with Hines, first, he had talked about it before, and second, his wishes were the mainstay, and Hines would be a better helper.

The length of the film was set at 90-100 minutes, which is suitable for the length of the story.

The original footage has been sorted out simultaneously during the filming period, and another advantage of digital shooting, what you see is what you get, can be edited in the crew car on the set. In the first week back in Los Angeles, the editing room was still at this stage of sorting, sorting, rough editing, and editing.

Ye Wei not only stayed in the editing room, but also went to the recording studio to guide the actors' recording work.

Although Emma said that he was still a friend, he was fine, but she always had a quirk, and this friend couldn't do it, so it was okay.

The audio post-production will not start until the editing is complete, the special effects side will wait for the Industrial Light & Magic delivery, and the soundtrack will already be started.

Instead of hiring a master scorer like Hans Zimmer, SS's soundtrack was Mike Giacchino.

The 39-year-old Italian-born man is a new force in the industry, having scored films such as "The Incredibles" (Annie Award for Best Animated Film Score) and the unreleased "Mission Impossible 3", while his main areas of work are video games and TV series, such as "Two-Faced Espion" and "Lost," for which he won an Emmy last year.

The SS soundtrack is not difficult, the emotions of the passages are obvious, the tense thriller at the time of Bethany's accident, the sadness and sadness afterward, the warmth and inspirational at the end, etc., all have a clear goal and do not need to be complicated, which is a home-cooked dish for Giacchino.

However, in Ye Wei's soundtrack requirements, many words such as "a little sad in warmth" and "a little surging in confusion" are used, and he doesn't want straight music.

He wanted a perfect soundtrack that would bring out the story.

If there weren't many highlights during the filming period, a better post-production would be the only way to prevent Soul Surfer from becoming mediocre.

Ye Wei felt that the shooting was not bad, but after leaving Hawaii, there was a feeling that could not be calmed down, as if, maybe he could have done better, but he was not sure how to do it. The film came out of the editing studio, and he believed that with those materials, SS could definitely become a moving classic.

During the day, he spends most of his time in a post-production office building, probably because of his diligence, and Hines praised it two days ago: "I'm glad to see that you've improved so much and haven't lost your attitude towards cinema." ”

I hope so.

However, compared with "The Wedding is Coming", Ye Wei goes all out during regular working hours, sometimes when the cutting is on the rise or encounters any problems, he will deal with it before leaving, and he will work overtime for half an hour and an hour.

It's his film, he doesn't fight for it, no one will.

......

"Welcome home!"

After working overtime in the evening, Ye Wei drove back to his residence, it was getting dark and late in April, and the sky was still bright at 7 o'clock.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Amy walking out of the dining room, her T-shirt and pants tied with a pink and white plaid apron with oil stains, and smiled mysteriously: "I have cooked a lot of Chinese dishes, and there is a special dish today, you have a good mouth!"

Seeing her, Ye Wei's heart suddenly blocked, and he quietly let out a long breath before he was relieved.

It's been a week like this, and he seems to be tired of being with Amy, every day......

At noon, Du Chen called and lost his temper, he was a little conflicted, he didn't want to end, and he seemed to lack the desire to have fun with her, so he said that it would be a few days.

Maybe it's just that I'm too busy with work, and I'm busy with the script and crew formation of "Lovely Bones" at night, and it's okay in a few days, it should be, no...... That's it.

Of course he was hungry after not eating for most of the day, Ye Wei smelled the fragrance wafting in the air, and asked as he walked towards the dining room: "This is, this is the smell of meat! Have you made meat dishes!?" He looked at Amy in shock, she was an ovo-lacto-lacto-vegetarian and had never made meat dishes before.

"Yes! Amy laughed a little silly, "It's time for this change." ”

"Oh my God. Ye Wei couldn't bear to tilt his head and walk into the dining room, like what kind of murder scene this was.

Amy was open-minded, followed him, and said: "The reason why I am vegetarian is because of Jewish ethics, I don't want to hurt animals, and it can also help me get fit, I don't want to grow so tall, but I still grow like this vegetarian." Ye Wei looked at her, she could be an underwear model.

"I don't want to be vegetarian anymore because I want to eat meat. She laughed again.

"So this is the first meal you have broken your vows in many years?" Ye Wei frowned and asked, "I'm about to become a vegetarian, don't say anything nonsense for me." ”

"No, I want to change, satisfied no. Amy pushed his back with both hands and urged, "Go wash your hands, the dishes are cold." ”

Soon, after Ye Wei went to the bathroom, the two sat side by side at the fragrant dining table, on which there were two bowls of gluten-free rice and several vegetarian dishes, some fried and some stewed, and the plate of beef fried green peppers in the middle was so abrupt.

There was a long silence, and the two looked at each other.

"Say something. ”

"Next step is to learn how to make Chinese soup ......"

"Brother Amy, are you sure?" Ye Wei picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and handed it to Amy's pale red lips, his eyes motionless, "Are you sure?"

The corners of Amy's mouth twitched a few times, and she suddenly opened her mouth to eat the beef, and her face was flushed for a moment, and she was about to vomit when she chewed it......

Ye Wei sighed and shook his head: "You can't do this, you can't be happy, just spit it out." ”

"I can do it. Amy took a deep breath and chewed on the beef, her eyes widened, and she swallowed it as if she had taken poison, and then coughed repeatedly, and finally stopped, and she forced a smile to say, "I did it, I did it!"

"It's the first time I've seen someone eat meat so hard. Ye Wei grinned, "It's still meat you made yourself." ”

"Whew!" Amy took a glass of water and drank half a cup of water, slamming it down, "Go on!"

Ye Wei picked up another piece of beef and put it in his mouth and chewed it, and said while chewing: "The sky is very blue, the grassland is very vast, and a kind cow is eating grass leisurely. A tiger appeared...... Forget it, just think about Charlotte's Web, this is Wilbur, we're eating Wilbur!"

Amy's face changed suddenly, she suddenly got up and ran quickly, and after a while, an uncomfortable vomiting sound came from the bathroom in the distance.

"Hahahaha!" Ye Wei couldn't stop laughing evilly, laughing so much that his face was red, and he shouted: "Emmanniu, do you still want to eat Wilbur?

"Eat...... Leave me some ......."

......

[I used the camera my parents gave me to take a lot of pictures when my family wasn't looking. There were so many that my father wouldn't allow me to wash out all the negatives, and he asked me to select the ones that were worth developing. The more I photographed, the more fascinated I became, until I had to put two boxes of negatives in my closet, one marked "send it out for washing" and the other marked "keep it for the time being", and my mother said that I was only organized in this matter.

I love the moment captured by Kodak's automatic camera, where the flashes in the four corners of the camera, and the moment the picture is taken and the only thing left is one photo. When the flash ran out, it was so hot that I tossed the small quadrangular flash between my hands until it cooled down completely. The burnt tungsten filaments in the bulbs turned into blue filaments, and sometimes the thin glass was burned black. I used my camera to capture precious moments, so that time stood still and could be preserved forever. These images are all mine, and no one can take them out of my hands. 】

"Susie, I used to think so, that taking pictures can keep time. But in fact, you are just keeping time for posterity, and your time is gone and gone. The mood at that time gradually blurred until it no longer existed, you didn't need to be taken away, you didn't want to look at those pictures yourself, or forgot to look at them.

Time is the ...... It's not that easy to keep. ”

Ye Wei sat down at the computer desk in the home studio, and in the gap between the computer booting and entering the system, he picked up a TLB on the table and flipped through it casually, and when he saw this paragraph, he couldn't help but talk to himself.

The obsession with taking pictures is a major feature of Susie and the thread of the story.

Susie always wants to keep the time and capture every wonderful or unexciting moment in her life, even if it is what others think is boring and meaningless. What does it matter, those images are hers, not someone else's.

But she only lived to be 14 years old, and there were so many things that she didn't have time to experience.

Time cannot be kept, no matter how hard you try or not, it will pass the same way, and new bones are growing.

I'm ...... now Are there new bones?

Shocked by this idea, Ye Wei put down the book in his hand, and just said "FUCK" after a long silence. He shook his head, gathered his energy, opened his email, and after taking care of some work, he turned on the movie screenwriter magician and continued to refine the TLB script.

There is still time, and it has long been determined that the theme is the joys and sorrows of the Shamon family, and the characters, scenes, details, and lines of the adapted script are easy to handle, and most of the problems are in terms of structure, rhythm, trade-offs, etc.

In any case, Ye Wei was in a good state, and soon fell into a trance, and some other thoughts and emotions would occasionally flash, such as thinking that Amy was writing songs in the music room downstairs.

There is both unrest and calm in the heart, and there is a chill from time to time, and there seems to be warmth shining through it.

Just like Monet's "Wheat Pile, Snow Scene, Early Morning".

Perhaps that's what TLB needs, two almost opposing emotional forces intertwined, "smiling and grieving, strong and crying".

......

“LALALA，TATATA，NANANA――”

“LALALA，TATATA，NANANA――”

"You're very articulate! ”

The 6 a.m. sun shines on the back garden of the house, which is beautifully kept, with plants and flowers blooming in the spring.

Amy and Ye Wei are both dressed in simple morning clothes, she is purple and he is gray, and they are doing vocal training.

Talking in bed last night, she was excited to start teaching him to sing today, first of all, to figure out his basic situation. In fact, she already knew that he had a good foundation, muscle control, breathing, and breathing were all fine.

In normal times, the vast majority of ordinary people are accustomed to breathing with their chests, especially during exercise, and they will quickly supply oxygen through shorter breaths. But this method is not advisable for singers and actors, and only by learning to breathe with their abdomen can they be used.

He can breathe down to the back of his abdomen, has an amazing lung capacity, can use the diaphragm, can control his vocalizations well, speaks very eloquently, and his slow and fast pronunciation is accurate, only in terms of extension.

"Of course, I studied vocal music before, and I also studied it when I was in Canada, and I also had my own special training, in order to become a better actor. ”

Ye Wei said lightly, and it is difficult for an actor to read emotions and sound good without professional training.

Amy nodded and said happily: "You have all the innate conditions and foundations to become a singer, now let's sing Doris Day's "Journey of Feelings", I will sing a sentence, and you will sing a sentence." ”

"Sing it. Ye Wei looked at her. Amy sang in a soulful and slow voice, "Going-Take-A-Sentimental-Journey." Ye Wei sang along: "Go and start a journey of feelings." She sang again, "Gonna-To-Set-My-Heart-At-Ease." He sang, "Go and put my heart in light." ”

“Gonna-Take-A-Sentimental-Journey，To-Renew-Old-Memories――”

"Go on a journey of touches and renew old memories—"

Sentence after sentence, after singing a song, Amy looked at him with a frown, thought and said:

"It's not that you can't sing, you have enough emotion, enough foundation, but you like to sing and can't wait to vent your emotions, speak very hard, but that's not emotion, you're just loud, or you're imitating the original song, you're not expressing yourself. That's your main problem!"

Ye Wei shrugged his shoulders with a smile: "This is my style." ”

"It's not style, it's not normal. Amy stroked his chest as if sensing, "It's a habit...... Singing habits, not vocal habits. If you have no problem pronouncing the lines, it means that you have no problem using your voice to express your emotions. You're deliberately not singing, why?"

"I don't know. Ye Wei couldn't help but wonder, "You tell me?"

Amy pondered something: "Maybe your vocal teacher misled you, or ...... You misled the vocal teacher because you didn't want to learn!" Ye Wei was stunned: "What?"

"You said that when you were a kid you learned a lot of instruments and singing at the same time, but you weren't fascinated by vocal music, and in the end only the guitar persisted. Music theory is the same, you can play the guitar well, there is no reason why you can't learn the piano, it can only be that you don't learn well on purpose, you know that if you show talent, your mother will let you learn it. ”

The more she thought about it, the clearer it became, "Your favorite is not heavy metal, but classical nostalgia, which is completely different from the way you sing." ”

"It's possible......" Ye Wei was very interested in learning to sing well, and asked her: "What should I do?"

"Let's do a basic exercise first, sniff the roses. Amy taught as she demonstrated, and Ye Wei learned her feet shoulder-width apart, keeping them relaxed, hanging her head, and curling her head and spine in an arc until her fingers touched the ground.

The two curled up their fingers against the grass, gently shook their shoulders, held for a few minutes, and then repeatedly took deep breaths, slowly straightened their bodies, and stood upright.

"Imagine that you have a rope on top of your head, and your whole being is lifted up by it. ”

"Okay, I've practiced this. ”

"Now with one hand on your abdomen, and the other hand imagining that you are holding a rose, you are close to your face, and you take a deep breath with your nose, and imagine that the fragrance of roses fills your surroundings and your body and mind, and you are very happy, you are very happy, you are enjoying it...... It's really fragrant...... It's so fragrant......"

Amy sniffed the "rose" in her right hand, her eyes were intoxicated, and she murmured softly. Ye Wei looked at her, endured the amusement, and also sniffed the "rose", and said: "It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant......"

The two of them were intoxicated for a while, and they sniffed the roses before they finished practicing.

"Now let's sing 'Journey of Feelings' again, relax, emotionally engaged, and sing with our hearts. Amy sang affectionately, "Go and start a journey of feelings." ”

"Go and start a journey of feeling. Ye Wei sang along with the natural path.

"It's much better this time. Amy smiled happily, "You sing your thoughts, that's it, go ahead, go and put my heart in light." ”

"Go and put my heart in light. Go on a journey of feeling, renew old memories—"

Two melodious singing voices resounded leisurely in the sun and in the garden.
