Chapter 89: Sitting on the Mountain and Watching the Scenery (1st Update)
Jia Guoping also sat in the front row, of course, he didn't sit in the front row because of his appearance.
He had heard Zhou Yan play the piece "Croatian Rhapsody" before, and at that time he thought that the solo piano of this piece was too thin, and he still needed an orchestra to play it.
I didn't expect to hear the concerto version so soon, and the piano concerto was played by the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra.
After a series of scheduling, Zhou Yan looked at his watch and said to Wang Xiaoshuai, "Lao Wang, you take someone to maintain order outside the field, and we will start the machine in five minutes." ”
Wang Xiaoshuai nodded and ran out to maintain order.
I heard that the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra was coming to perform, and many students came to the concert hall, but the registration for the "dragon set" had ended, and the audience was enough, so they couldn't get in.
They couldn't get in, and they didn't leave, so they were going to listen outside the concert hall, so there were quite a lot of people outside at this time. Zhou Yan asked Wang Xiaoshuai to maintain order, because he was worried that there would be any movement outside that would affect the next shooting.
After another minute or so, Wang Xiaoshuai suddenly came in with Shi Wanchun.
Seeing Shi Wanchun, Zhou Yan hurriedly went over, "Teacher, why are you here?" ”
Shi Wanchun smiled: "I'm coming to see the performance, I heard that it's a new piece you wrote?" ”
"Well, I wrote it for the movie." Zhou Yan nodded, and explained, "Today is filming, not an ordinary performance, so I don't dare to disturb you." ”
"Don't bother me, I'll be here myself."
"Then I'll give you a seat......"
Zhou Yan's eyes searched in the front row to see if he could find a seat for Shi Wanchun, but it was all full at this time, and the position was not easy to arrange, and when he was worried, Shen Huaigang had already gotten up and walked out.
"Director Shi, I have a seat."
Shi Wanchun was not polite, and nodded, "Thank you." ”
After arranging Shi Wanchun to sit down, Zhou Yan patted Shen Huaigang's shoulder, "The performance is good, let's go to the camera crew, the effect is also good." ”
Shi Wanchun's arrival did not affect Zhou Yan's rhythm.
After a few minutes, Zhou Yan raised his hand and stretched out three fingers.
"Three, two, one."
"Power on."
"Hit the board."
"Once."
"Let's go."
After finishing and starting, Lang Lang began to go on stage, and a total of three cameras were arranged for this scene, one mobile and two fixed.
The moving camera position follows the male protagonist, and one of the fixed camera positions is for the orchestra on the stage, and the other is for the audience. Although the audience's reaction in the end needs to be re-shot separately, Zhou Yan still hopes to record the audience's real reaction when the first part is performed.
Because he was worried that when the song was played too many times in the future, it would be difficult for the audience to give emotions that met his requirements, they were not professional actors, and they could not give the director the expression he wanted at any time like an actor.
And these three cameras are far from enough, at least one set is needed, so the orchestra has to play at least twice today.
Because this scene is more important, Zhou Yan directly asked Zhao Fei and them to turn on the film, and they didn't worry about wasting film, and the audio track was also recorded at the same time.
The number of times the orchestra performs today, the track will also be recorded as many times, and then they will choose the best one and cut it into the film.
As soon as Shi Wanchun came in, he first looked at the configuration of the orchestra, and in addition to the regular violin group, some drums and bass were added.
The reason why he wants to come over today is also an inspection of Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan's early graduation application is already going through the process, and the probability of passing is relatively high, if the quality of the work written by Zhou Yan this time passes, then the approval should be faster, and the results will be available this semester.
Two days ago, they were discussing internally whether to let Zhou Yan stay in school.
The composition department must be short of teachers, and Jia Guoping, who has just stayed in school, doesn't know how long he can stay in school.
Shi Wanchun talked to Jia Guoping before, if he has the opportunity, Jia Guoping still hopes to go abroad to see, composition is supposed to be in line with the world, and it is normal to want to go abroad for further study.
Although Jia Guoping said that he would come back after going for further study, during the period when he was gone, the lack of teachers in the composition department would be more serious.
In the state of Li Bingyang's semi-resignation last semester, Jia Guoping couldn't be busy, and he often asked Zhou Yan to help him.
So now the department is considering whether to keep Zhou Yan.
When he heard the song halfway, Shi Wanchun smiled, he knew that Zhou Yan's application for early graduation could not be more stable.
Zhou Yan's ability to combine classical and popular now seems to be getting stronger and stronger.
In fact, since Zhou Yan took a leave of absence, Shi Wanchun has met with Zhou Yan a lot less, and he has not mastered Zhou Yan's learning situation very well, but judging from the performance of "Memories of the Forbidden City" and this song, Zhou Yan seems to have put down some things and begun to create with a more relaxed attitude for more than a year.
Zhou Yan's previous works are extremely avant-garde, pursuing an extreme "destruction", and even a kind of arrogance and stubbornness to break the classics and create new rules.
But now, Zhou Yan seems to only use the classical as a weapon, and use it when composing.
If classical is compared to a high mountain, when people face this high mountain, some want to climb it, some want to fly over, and some want to level the mountain directly.
And now Zhou Yan is just standing on the top of the mountain, watching the scenery slowly.
……
In this scene, the orchestra played the piece a total of seven times, and there was no problem with each time, and the reason why it was recorded so many times was only because Zhou Yan wanted a different shot.
As Zhou Yan expected, at the end of the first performance, the audience's response was enthusiastic, and many people stood up to applaud the musicians on stage, and the applause lasted for a long time.
The second time, everyone's mood was still very good, but the applause was not as warm as the first time.
Third, fourth...... By the seventh time, the audience's energy had been exhausted.
It's not that they don't cheer, it's just that they listened to the same song seven times in a short period of time, and it was a great drain on their energy, and some people were tired of applauding, and even their hands hurt.
At this time, the audience really felt that acting was not as simple as they thought, and even if it was a trick, it didn't mean just sitting there.
After the performance is over, I have to shoot the reactions of the other actors, not only can they not walk, but they also have to cooperate.
When Zhou Yan finally said the word "call it a day", half a day had passed since the beginning, and everyone was relieved.
But although they were very tired, everyone was still quite excited, after all, they were also "electrocuted".
When the students left the venue, they congratulated Zhou Yan one after another, first, congratulating him for making a good song, and second, congratulating him on making a good movie...... Although none of them knew what the movie was about.
Fang Xiu pulled Yu Ran over and said to Zhou Yan with a grin, "Senior Brother Zhou Yan, is your graduation work this song next year, and we will help you then." ”
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "I repeated the grade, did you forget?" ”
Fang Xiu waved his hand, "You don't want to graduate early?" Even if I don't graduate early, I can still play this piece at the end of the semester, so I booked a cello and violin with Ranran. ”
Zhou Yan made an OK gesture, "No problem." ”
Regardless of the end of the semester or the graduation work, Zhou Yan will definitely find Yu Ran and them, after all, they have worked together several times, and they are all relatively familiar.
The 88-level composition students were very excited and ran over to ask Zhou Yan a lot of questions, but the class leader Shen Huaigang knew that Zhou Yan was busy at this time, so he pulled them all away.
After all the 88-level composers left, Shi Wanchun came over again and said to Zhou Yan, "If you have time in the past two days, go to my office." ”
Zhou Yan didn't ask Shi Wanchun what he was looking for, just nodded, "Okay, teacher, I'll go over tomorrow." ”
"Well, you're busy."
After filming the last scene of CCTV, Zhou Yan did not stop and continued to take the production team to shoot scenes in other places.
After the start of school, he has to stay in school for a few days, and the crew will have a few days off at that time, so he must bring up the progress as soon as possible.
It's really time for a holiday, during this time the intensity of their filming is very high, many people in the crew are tired, and the work efficiency is starting to get low.
He Saifei told Zhou Yan very vaguely several times that he didn't have a good visit when he came to Yan Kyoto, and he stayed in the crew every day.
……
The next morning, Zhou Yan went to Shi Wanchun's office.
As usual, Zhou Yan first took out two packs of Hongta Mountain and gave them to Shi Wanchun.
And Shi Wanchun, who was already accustomed to Zhou Yan's "bribery", threw two boxes of cigarettes into the drawer, and Shi Wanchun asked Zhou Yan to sit down.
Then Shi Wanchun said, "I asked you to come over because I wanted to talk to you about staying in school." ”
"Stay in school, me?" Zhou Yan looked surprised.
Shi Wanchun lit a cigarette for himself and said with a smile, "What's so surprising about this?" Haven't you been teaching the Class of '88 for half a semester? ”
"I'm just helping Senior Brother Li Bingyang."
"Since you help, let's help to the end, what do you think about staying in school?"
"But I haven't graduated yet." Zhou Yan meant to ask Shi Wanchun how he was graduating early.
Shi Wanchun's hand holding the cigarette waved, and the smoke drew a half circle in the air, "Don't worry about graduating early, it's basically no problem." The teachers in our department are just enough now, and the main reason for you to stay in school is to deal with some unexpected situations, and you also know the situation in our department, maybe Jia Guoping will go abroad next year. ”
Zhou Yan nodded, he knew what Shi Wanchun said, in fact, Jia Guoping is now applying for some foundation scholarships, and if he passes, he will go abroad for further study.
Even if Jia Guoping will come back after his studies, it will take at least three or four years in between, and it is impossible to wait for him in the department for these three or four years.
