Chapter 139: What age is it, and who still composes the score in the traditional way?

After the music matter was settled, Jiang Bai had one more thing to do, that is, to cooperate with Tan Dun to complete the subsequent composition of this movie.

Because in the next scene, Changkong played by Jiang Bai wants to fight with Li Lian in the rain, and this is also every foreshadowing laid by Zhang Yimou at the beginning of this drama.

At the same time, in this scene, there is a blind old man playing the piano.

In order to see Jiang Bai's ability, Tan Dun deliberately let Jiang Bai do this paragraph.

After all, according to Jiang Bai, the Yuexia song he played before was created by his teacher, and Jiang Bai's ability to play well can only show that Jiang Bai has a high talent in playing the piano, but performance and creation cannot be put together.

Just like many well-known singers in Xiangjiang now, they have unique voices and strong singing skills, but their creative talents are much mediocre compared to their singing talents.

Although he had promised Jiang Bai before that he would add him to the list of music creation and be alongside himself, then he also had to know what Jiang Bai's true level was.

Only by knowing Jiang Bai's true level can he arrange the follow-up work, in case Jiang Bai is that kind of performance player, he can only make more efforts by himself, so that Jiang Bai has a sense of participation.

In the past few days, Jiang Bai has basically used the rest of the time to create, except for repeatedly following Zhang Yimou to shoot the same shot that needs to be constantly modified.

But it's not entirely original when he says that.

Instead, some of Li Yi's tunes were adapted, which was more in line with the atmosphere of the movie.

This is difficult for Jiang Bai, but it is not that difficult.

In those years of study, Jiang Bai has completely inherited the other party's skills, except that he is not as old and spicy as the other party in performance, even Li Yi is beyond reproach.

Although it is a use, the teaching is also a true teaching.

In this way, Jiang Bai spent a week here, and finally composed this song and showed it to Tan Dun.

Tan Dun was very satisfied after watching it, although it might be another style for him to create, but music is originally diverse.

As long as it fits the background atmosphere and characters of the film, it is a good song.

"What's the name of this piece?"

"Seven kills." Jiang Bai said.

"The name is good, and the idea is quite big." Tan Dun nodded.

In fact, this name was also taken by the father-in-law, because the father-in-law had no culture and only knew the elegance of vassals.

Therefore, after Li Yi created this piece of music, he asked his father-in-law to name it, and his father-in-law was also under the extremely limited cultural level, so he suddenly thought of the three names of Seven Kills and Broken Army Greedy Wolf, and immediately took one of the Seven Kills to name this piece.

Then he asked the other party to get out the greedy wolf and the broken army, and said that in this way they could make up a set.

However, after the music is made, it needs to be written into a score so that it can be shown to the actor who plays the blind luthier.

And it was difficult for Jiang Bai to write the score, but when he wrote the music and gave it to Tan Dun again, Tan Dun frowned when he looked at it: "You ...... Is this a sheet music for you? ”

Jiang Bai was also stunned at this time: "Yes, isn't the score like this?" ”

"How can any music be written purely by words? It's a mess, and what you wrote is ...... at all," Tan Dun said and suddenly stopped, because he thought that he seemed to have seen similar words when he was doing research on ancient Chinese music notation before.

"You use the ancient music composition method of Gong Shang Jiao Zhengyu?"

"Is this an ancient score? I don't know, that's what I learned. Jiang Bai was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that what he knew would be outdated by now?

Jiang Bai looked at Tan Dun like this, and he didn't feel like Jiang Bai was pretending.

But in other words, Jiang Bai is not pretending to be forced to write in this way, but that he will really only use this method?

"And will you use staves?"

"Staves? I haven't learned this. Jiang Bai was thinking about countermeasures in his heart.

If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that they can't understand the score they wrote, and this is still a joke?

Do you want to use the camera to shoot the video with your hands and let the other party learn according to the action, as you did before?

At this time, Tan Dun looked at Jiang Bai as if he was looking at an alien: "It's amazing, I didn't expect that there are still people who compose music in this way, this is the ability left by the ancestors." ”

"Teacher Tan, that song ......"

"It's okay, it's all a small problem, wait a minute, you're playing it again, I'll record it for you next to you."

"That's great."

Jiang Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief, don't make the song when others can't use it, it will be funny, he is playing an assassin, not a pianist.

And Jiang Bai doesn't want to play a pianist, after all, there are only a few shots of being a pianist, and he still earns a lot by playing a role.

So Jiang Bai played it again in front of Tan Dun.

Tan Dun recorded the old tunes in the form of staves on the side.

"Okay, I'll have to sort it out again when I go back, and I'll give you a copy when I get it back, but when the time comes, remember to register the copyright of these tunes you made, and after you have the copyright, you can sign a licensing agreement with Director Zhang, otherwise this tune will be used if it is used, and others can use it casually in the future, you know?"

"Knowing Mr. Tan, I'll go back and register."

"Hmm." Tan Dun nodded, and then his expression softened: "Don't throw away these things, these are all cultural treasures of our country, don't forget it ourselves when the time comes, but it will be taken away by foreigners and said that it is theirs." ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Tan, I'll remember all these things well."

"Okay, then you can get busy first, I'll have to go back and sort out the score now."

It's just tidying up, but making music scores is a common thing for a master like Tan Dun, as easy as eating and drinking.

The next day, he brought the score that had been put together.

Among them, he gave Jiang Bai the original version written by himself, and the other copy was given to the actor for the other party to practice diligently.

At the same time, he kept a copy of it himself.

Although it is said that the music here will definitely be matched through the post-production, Zhang Yimou is a particular person, even if the music is matched in the later stage, the actor's hands must be plucked to the corresponding strings during filming.

In the days that followed, the weather remained clear.

So this scene can't be filmed at all.

Until one morning, as soon as they arrived at the crew, the sky was gloomy.

Zhang Yimou was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately asked everyone to start putting on makeup and changing clothes, and at the same time asked the prop master to place the props.

Just when the actors were putting on makeup, Zhang Yimou came to Jiang Bai and Li Lianlian and began to tell them about the play: "Wait a minute, you have a very important action scene, and the specific movements should have been practiced before, so I won't talk nonsense about it."

This action scene is just filmed according to the script, although there is a fight between you, but all this is carried out in your mind, so wait a minute, after Jiang Bai and the seven masters are finished, you put the money in the blind man's bowl, and you have to close your eyes before the duel. When it came to the next shot, I opened my eyes and began to play. ”

"Got the director."

Then Zhang Yimou left.

Jiang Bai has already read this script, and the script of this movie is different from the movies Jiang Bai has seen before.

In the past, movies were basically large sections of text, and if the actors had action scenes, they might just describe them in detail with words.

As for how to play, it has to be taught by the action guide.

Although there are more pictures in the Snow Goddess Dragon, it is at most two match villains playing there, and there are all kinds of special effects in it, which are both abstract and incomprehensible, and even look a little spicy.

But the heroes are different, Jiang Bai couldn't help but be amazed when he got the script.

Because it's a script, but when you open it, it looks like a comic strip, and the top uses words to describe the first scenes, whether it's day or night, whether it's an interior or an exterior, and whether it's a fixed shot or a motion shot.

The following are drawings drawn by pure hand.

Even every time the camera is turned, there is a picture, and every sentence is divided into a sub-shot.

The details are incomparable.

Jiang Bai felt that even if this script was not filmed, it could be sold as a comic outside with a little polishing.

If there is any change in the plot in the middle, Zhang Yimou will immediately rewrite a storyboard script, and then stare at the artist to draw it.

Therefore, Jiang Bai feels that he has filmed so many dramas, among which Zhang Yimou's script is the best to understand.

But the downside is that it always has to be remade.

Soon they finished putting on their makeup and went to the courtyard to wait.

Because the sky was only cloudy at this time, and it was not raining, fifty, and after waiting for about half an hour, as a silver snake-like lightning pierced the sky, Zhang Yimou shouted: "Turn on!" ”

At the same time, everyone is in place.

β€œaction!”

Jiang Bai sat in front of the chessboard dressed in black, holding a long pole to take out the white pieces from the trough next to him, which already had a lot of water, and put the chess pieces on the chessboard according to the chess game that had been memorized before.

After the two sides exchanged more than a dozen hands, the player sitting opposite Jiang Bai suddenly took out a hairband with the character Qin written on it and put it on his head.

At the same time, he also showed his identity and was one of the seven masters of the Qin Palace today.

At the same time, the dragon set in the back is also doing corresponding actions.

The camera on the other side was also turned on, filming the other chess players in the chess hall who got up one after another and trotted out of the rain to leave this place.

Jiang Bai played Changkong at this time with his eyelids lowered, and his tone was calm: "The Seven Masters of the Qin Palace." ”

His voice was flat, and he was not asking, but telling the identity of the other party.

"I'll be with you for many days, bring you to justice, show your silver gun, and verify your identity!" The other party said in a deep voice.

"Close-up of the spear! Move up to Jiang Bai's face! ”

Zhang Yimou was also looking at the monitor under the eaves at this time, and at the same time held up the walkie-talkie to direct the photographer.

The performances of the actors were perfect.

After filming here, Zhang Yimou called those tricks back, asked them to shoot again, and then asked the two to move to the center of the courtyard.

One person faces seven people.

The sky faces the seven masters.

The rain was pouring down, like a short line of beads.

"Okay, now use the medium shot, shoot everyone in, and the actors move forward...... I stop walking here! Raise your sword! ”

"Next one for the luthier for a close-up!"

I forgot to write the title of the previous chapter and knocked!
