Chapter Thirty-Six: Following the Later Period of Learning from the National Teacher

"My Father and Mother" is a love story in the fifties and sixties, the love story of Luo Changyu and Zhao Di, Gu Bei was originally Luo Changyu who auditioned, but Zhang Yimou felt that it was inappropriate, so he gave Gu Bei the role of his son Luo Yusheng.

The adult Luo Yusheng has very few scenes, returning to his hometown to deal with his father's funeral, and observing his mother Zhao Di, gradually narrating the story of his father Luo Changyu and mother Zhao Di falling in love when they were young.

Therefore, the filming time of Gu Beijin's group was less than a week, and Luo Yusheng's scene was completely filmed, and because Gu Bei and the other two leading actors Zheng Hao and Zhang Ziyi were in different periods, Gu Bei did not see Zhang Ziyi and Zheng Hao at all during the filming, and was completely talking to Zhang Yimou.

The scene is finished, Gu Bei is still a little unsatisfied, the lack of scenes is one thing, and the role of Luo Yusheng is not too challenging on the other hand.

Gu Bei, who changed back into his clothes, kept looking at the script in his hand, and there were many regrets in his heart.

"What do you think?"

Hearing this, Gu Bei hurriedly put down the script in his hand and said with a smile: "Director, is the empty scene finished filming?" ”

"It's done." Zhang Yimou sat next to Gu Bei, took a cup of hot tea from the table and poured it down, exhaled comfortably before saying, "I haven't seen such a heavy snow for a long time." ”

"It's also the first time I've seen it, and it used to be very rare in the south."

"Each has its own good, at least filming in the south will not be as sinful as it is now."

Gu Bei grinned and said, "Although I have suffered a little guilty, this scene is really beautiful, the director must be happy, right?" ”

"Fortunately, I watched the weather forecast when I was filming this scene, and what I was waiting for was today's snow, which was bigger than expected, it was a surprise, not too big, it was an opportunity." Zhang Yimou said indifferently, a satisfied smile was already raised in the corner of his eyes, the sky is beautiful, and every frame taken is extremely beautiful.

After thinking for a while, Gu Bei asked, "Director, you seem to like snow very much." ”

"Huh? Says who? ”

"I've seen your "The Red Lantern Hangs High", and there are a lot of snow scenes in it, which are very beautiful and clean."

Zhang Yimou pondered for a moment and replied: "It's not that I like snow, but at this time, snow is the most suitable, and there is nothing else like snow, the sky and the earth, a vast white piece, saying that I like snow, it is better to say that I like the whiteness of snow." ”

"White?" Gu Bei's heart moved, and he said tightly, "Director, can you tell me your thoughts on the use of color in movies?" I admire your use of color in the film, every frame is very shocking to me, especially the color in your "Hang the Red Lantern" and "Hero". ”

"Heroes?" Zhang Yimou frowned, "I haven't made a movie called "Hero". ”

"Forehead ......" Gu Bei's tone froze, and then he realized that "Hero" was filmed after Zhang Yimou, and said busily, "You heard it wrong, I said "Red Sorghum", red sorghum ......"

Zhang Yimou thought about it puzzled, but soon didn't dwell on it anymore, and said: "The color is not clear, you can understand it as a feeling, I look at the previous works, and I often feel that the color in it can be changed again, so when shooting, I not only have to look at God, but also look at the inspiration of that time, the mood is different, the feeling is different, and the desired effect is different." ”

"Hmm......" Gu Bei nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Have you been available lately?" Zhang Yimou asked, and then thought of something, and said to himself, "Hmm...... Forget that you already have an economic company, you may not know it yourself, I will ask your agent to ask, arrange the schedule, and record some voices. ”

Hearing this, Gu Bei knew what Zhang Yimou said when he thought about it, although Luo Yusheng's role was small, there were many voiceovers, and Gu Bei needed to give his voice.

"Did the director say Luo Yusheng's voiceover?"

"Yes."

"My schedule is very empty, I don't have much filming, and now it's winter vacation, I may have to record an album, but that's after the year."

"Okay, you go to the company with me first, and record these voices, so that you don't need to arrange a schedule later."

After the filming of the empty scene is completed, it means that the movie is completely finished, and when the crew finishes packing up their things, Gu Bei, Zhang Yimou and his party will return to Beiping and go straight to the new picture company.

Gu Bei's voice needs to fit the rhythm of the movie, and the scene has just been filmed, and it will take a while to edit, Zhang Yimou's original intention was to let Gu Bei go home first, and when he needed the recording, he was rushing to the new picture company, anyway, Gu Bei lived in Beiping, and it was convenient to go back and forth.

However, Gu Bei, who was idle, asked to stay, wanting to see Zhang Yimou editing mastering, dimming, color grading or something, Zhang Yimou didn't have any opinion, just asked Gu Bei not to disturb his work.

But a project leader of the new picture company is very reluctant, Gu Bei also said that he understands this very well, the movie has not been released yet, and the new picture company is still counting on "My Father and Mother" to make money, and there are a lot of commercial things involved in the later stage, although Gu Bei is the starring actor, but after all, he is still an outsider.

Fortunately, Zhang Yimou agreed, and Pony Galloping and Gu Bei themselves also had a bit of face, Gu Bei signed a confidentiality agreement and stayed smoothly, and in the days to come, Gu Bei learned about Zhang Yimou's other side.

When filming Luo Yusheng's scene, Zhang Yimou was a very wise, thoughtful, and kind elder in Gu Bei's eyes, it may be that Luo Yusheng's scene is not difficult, Gu Bei prepared well enough in advance, so he didn't touch Zhang Yimou's brows.

But the editor Zhai Ru is not so lucky, he will quarrel with Zhang Yimou almost every day, and when there is a big conflict of opinions between the two, the two middle-aged people will blow their beards and stare at each other, slap the table, and smash the cup, which looks inexplicably cute, but at this time, Gu Bei does not dare to speak out, for fear that the artillery fire will lead to him.

This is Zhang Yimou's queen editor Zhai Ru, who didn't dare to lose his temper in front of Zhang Yimou if he was someone else.

One day when the post-production was nearing the end, Gu Beizheng looked at Zhai Ru and Zhang Yimou with relish, the two of them were arguing with reason at the moment, and the fierce confrontation in thought and language added a lot of fun to Gu Bei At the same time, he felt a lot of different artistic expressions and experienced more film art.

However, people who join in the fun will inevitably be affected, not to mention that Gu Bei often joins in the fun......

"Gu Bei!"

Gu Bei chuckled in his heart, unconsciously retreated a few steps back, and said timidly, "Teacher Zhai, is there something wrong?" ”

Seeing Gu Bei's obvious avoidance situation, Zhai Ru was angry and speechless at the same time, but also inexplicably felt very funny, and couldn't help but smile at Zhang Yimou, and the next second suddenly realized that he was arguing with Zhang Yimou, and hurriedly put away the expression on his face, and at the same time gave Zhang Yimou a roll of his eyes, he also beckoned to Gu Bei.

"Come here, what are you hiding, I'm not going to eat you."

"Hehe, how can there be ......" Gu Bei hid the MMP in his heart, and walked over with a smile, "Teacher Zhai, director." ”

"Xiaobei, it's just right, you come and take a look here, is he right or am I right, and he said that it will be cut a little longer here, adding a little slow-motion feeling, he said that the content is too long, you hurry up and take a look, don't give him face."

Zhang Yimou's words really gave Gu Bei a lot of confidence, and he had been paying attention to the editing situation here just now, and at this time Gu Bei said bluntly: "Teacher Zhai, I also think slow motion is better......"
