Although in the crew where Zhang Yi is the director, it is very troublesome many times, a shot has to be shot back and forth repeatedly, even if it is a shot that has been passed on the spot, it may be reworked in a few days.

But sometimes it's quite easy, for example, the drama in the peony workshop can't be filmed until the evening, so Jiang Bai doesn't have anything to do during the day.

Others still need to see the lines or something, but Jiang Bai has long been familiar with those things, as long as he reviews them a little when he is applying makeup.

Jiang Bai feels that in addition to bringing him many skills in his undercover career for so many years, the biggest advantage is that he can observe words and feelings.

What kind of personality each person is, what is the style of doing things, what do they like and dislike, and what kind of acceptance can they have for a person.

Although it is a good thing to be respectful to some elders, it is more important to make jokes appropriately.

For example, Zhang Yi likes Jiang Bai very much now, in addition to Jiang Bai's strong work ability, his likable personality also accounts for a very important part of the reason.

After getting up at seven o'clock, I played a few sets of boxing in the hotel, and after washing up, I called the internal phone and asked the waiter to bring a breakfast.

After eating, I called Su Rou to go to the set together.

As a result, Jiang Bai arrived on the set and found that there were few people here at all, except for the assistant director who arranged the camera position with some photography lights, none of the other actors came.

"It's almost nine o'clock, and we're the earliest?" Su Rou looked at the empty venue and said.

"Alas, I guess they don't have anything to do when they come, and they can do it in the hotel by reading the script and practicing the action."

Su Rou nodded: "Brother Jiang, then what are we going to do next?" ”

"What's next? I'll go practice for a while, you can watch and do something by yourself, and if you have nothing to do, find a place to rest and play with your phone for a while. ”

Su Rou thought for a while: "Brother Jiang, then I'll go with you, it's not interesting to play with your phone." ”

"Okay."

Then Jiang Bai took Su Rou to the piano room.

Now Jiang Bai has made five tunes, the first four Zhang Yi has heard it, and made a little opinion, and later Jiang Bai also revised it according to the other party's requirements.

The fifth Zhang Yi has not yet listened.

Jiang Bai practiced over there for a while, and Su Rou just kept listening.

When Jiang Bai was resting, Su Rou took the water cup over, watched Jiang Bai drink water, and asked, "Brother Jiang, do you usually compose music like this?" Play it yourself first, and then make a tune by hand. ”

"yes."

But Su Rou thought for a while: "I have seen them use computers to make music when I was on the Internet before, although I don't know how to do it, but I feel very powerful." ”

"Computers? Can a computer do this too? ”

"yes, it seems that I want to download some software, do it in the software, I also accidentally swiped that video, I saw that they can add all kinds of instruments to it, and there are many things that can be tuned directly in the software.

Then they put the pieces together so that they could listen to the finished product, and although I don't think it was as good as playing it by hand, I could at least listen to the general effect. ”

Jiang Bai's previous attention has always been on filming, and his friends who make music are a Huang Bo and a Zhou Xiaoou, although he met Master Tan Dun at that time, the other party is also used to playing with his hands first, and then composing the tune.

"This is the first time I've heard of it, and it would be much more convenient if I could use a computer."

Jiang Bai thought about it again, then took out his mobile phone and called Huang Bo first.

It took a while for the phone to be connected.

"Hey, is Brother Bo busy?"

"I'm not too busy, I went to the toilet just now, I didn't bring my phone, what's wrong Jiang Bai?"

"That's right, I want to ask something, didn't you run a band before? Do you know how to compose music on a computer? ”

"Computers? I can't do this, although I can write lyrics and music, but at that time I only used guitar and pen and paper, what's wrong? Do you have a need for this? I remember you were able to make tunes. ”

"yes, I just learned about this today, so I wanted to ask and see how to do it."

"Why don't I ask for you?" Huang Bo said again.

"No, I'll ask someone else."

"It's okay, then you can ask again, if you can't ask, I'll also help you ask your friends, I still know some friends who are engaged in music."

"No problem."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Bai called Zhou Xiaoou again: "Brother Xiaoou, are you busy?" ”

"I'm okay, what's wrong?"

"I'd like to ask if you can use a computer to compose music here, and I've heard that you can do it with software on a computer."

"I will, do you have friends to learn?"

"It's not a friend, it's me who wants to learn."

"You want to learn music? Then it's best to start with music theory and then learn the software, my advice is to find an instrument first, guitar or piano or electronic organ. ”

"Brother Xiaoou, I know a little bit about music, but I don't know how to use these software on the computer, so I want to find someone to teach me."

"You know how to music?" Although Zhou Xiaoou was a little skeptical in his heart, he didn't ask anything else, "If you just want to learn software, I can teach you, but I'm performing in other places now, touring, and it will take more than ten days to go back." ”

"That's it, forget it, in a few days, our crew will have to move to Chongqing to film."

"That's a pity, otherwise when you're done here, I'm also done here, and I'll tell you about it? Or maybe you ask someone first during this time. ”

"Okay." Jiang Bai said with some regret.

As a result, just when he was about to hang up the phone, Zhou Xiaoou suddenly said again: "Are you filming now?" ”

"yes."

"Is the crew big? Did you do any post-production on the set? ”

"I think there is."

"Then what are you asking me for? Just ask those later, although they may not be able to write good songs, but they will definitely use the software, what you have to learn is those more basic operations, right? ”

"Yes, I just want to learn how to use the software."

"Well, just ask them, in general, there are editors and musicians in the post-production of the crew, most of them are from professional classes, and their basic skills must be fine." After Zhou Xiaoou finished speaking, he asked curiously, "I didn't expect you to know music, so why didn't you say it before?" Let's talk a little more. ”

Jiang Bai smiled: "Our two routes are different, you are rock and pop, and I am a classical instrument." ”

"It's the same way, and many bands in our country also have Chinese instruments...... Okay, let's not talk about it, they called me, we also have a new album coming out recently, I guess they are looking for me to talk about new songs. ”

"Okay, then Brother Xiaoou, you are busy first, and I won't bother you first."

"Okay, goodbye, we'll all be free and get together again."

"No problem."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Bai called Zhang Yi directly and said this.

Zhang Yi naturally said that there was no problem, and he arranged for someone to come over to teach him when he turned around.

"Where are you now?"

"I'm on the set, aren't there still a dozen tunes left unwritten? I'll get it over here. ”

"Well, it's hard work, so let's go back and I'll give you another computer, and you can take it away directly after you use it this time, so you can buy it later."

"Okay, thank you Director Zhang, you are my uncle!"

"Go and go, don't be so sensual, then that's it for now, let's wait a minute, and bring people over to you by the way."

After that, Jiang Bai continued to compose music here.

The sixth piece is not long,

Jiang Bai can take a previous tune and change it, but this tune not only uses the guqin, pipa, but also the drum.

You can't do it alone.

But it would be much more convenient if it could be done on a computer.

At that time, you can directly use different instruments on the computer to make music and then synthesize it together, or you can play it with different instruments and synthesize the audio in the software.

Now Jiang Bai can only understand so much through Zhou Xiaoou's words, and he has to go back and learn how to operate it.

But either way, it's more intuitive.

"Technology is a really good thing, computers are really powerful, not only can you play games, surf the Internet, cut videos, but even make music."

"No wonder people who learn computers are so popular now."

It didn't take long for Zhang Yi and others to come to the crew, and Zhang Yi also brought a young man to Jiang Bai.

Under the introduction, Jiang Bai knew that the other party's name was Song Ming.

This year is just twenty-one.

After a brief chat, Song Ming also knew Jiang Bai's needs.

"Xiao Song, you wait a while to go out for a run, buy a computer for Jiang Bai and come back, with a higher configuration, you must be able to make music."

"Okay Director Zhang, do you have any other requirements?"

"There are no requirements, the main thing is to configure it well, the price doesn't matter, remember to open the invoice back when you look back." After speaking, Zhang Yi asked again, "By the way, do you have any money?" ”

Song Ming scratched his head embarrassedly: "Director Zhang, I have just joined the work, and there are more than two thousand in the card. ”

"Okay."

Saying that, Zhang Yi called the assistant director again: "You take Xiao Song to the finance side first, and take 20,000 yuan for him to buy a computer." Saying that, he suddenly thought of something, "By the way, match everything else that should be matched, microphones, stereos, headphones or something, is 20,000 enough?" ”

"If you buy the best one, it's definitely not enough, but it should be enough for normal use."

"Well, then you can go, by the way, take the company's bus, and save yourself from carrying it to the bus."

After arranging Song Ming, Zhang Yi called Zhang Ziyi and Jiang Bai to chat about the plot in the Peony Workshop today.

Today's content is also very important, they want to shoot the little sister over there playing with immortals to guide the way at the request of Jiang Zhutou.

"Although we have already decided on the form, I still want to ask if you two have any better ideas?"

The rules of the immortals are that a person holding a stone hits the drum from a distance, and the dancer in the middle flicks his sleeve.

Whichever drum sounded, he threw his sleeve on top of the drum as well.

The original plan was to do it through video editing, that is, Jiang Zhutou first made a handsome throwing action here, and then a staff member took a stone and threw it on the drum.

Then the little girl in the middle flicked her sleeves accordingly and made a drumming motion.

But you don't really have to roll up your sleeves.

Wait until the front shot is finished, and then make up the picture of the sleeve hitting the drum surface in the back.

As soon as he heard this, Jiang Bai knew what Zhang Yi was thinking.

This old boy wants to come to the real thing again.

"Director, I can directly let the stone hit the drum surface, I can use a high-speed camera to capture it without cutting the lens, and I can add some air ripple effects behind the stone in the later stage."

Zhang Yimou nodded: "I think it can be shown like this, it's very good, and when you say this, I also think that we can shoot some tidbits in this part." ”

But after he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Ziyi again.

Zhang Ziyi secretly said in her heart that something was wrong, thinking that what she should have come had finally come.

And Jiang Bai, you are so capable, it will seem that I don't know anything!

"Director, I may not be able to do it, because my sleeves are not so long, and I feel that my strength is not enough, and there are three meters on both sides......"
