While the Backstreet Boys were preparing for the TV show, Zhou Yanren had already arrived in London.

This time he came alone, the filming of "Sense and Sensibility" has reached the middle and late stages, the crew is now filming in Wirtshire, Zhou Yan went to London first to take a look at the films filmed.

Because the filming was carried out in the United Kingdom, the printing of the film was handed over to the local virtual film entertainment company in London.

In other people's companies, it is not so convenient to watch the film, and there are many films washed out, so it took Zhou Yan nearly four days to finish watching the film.

After watching the film, he went straight to Wirtshire.

The crew filmed at Trafalgar House and Wilton House in Wiltshire, filming Barton Manor and London Ballroom respectively, and Monpeson House for Mrs. Jennings's villa.

When Zhou Yan arrived, the crew had just finished filming a scene at Wilton Villa.

An Li saw Zhou Yan at a glance, raised his hand and waved to him, and then he said a few words to the side, and walked over with the assistant director Chiesa.

"Zhou Yan, you're finally here." An Li said with a smile.

Chiesa also greeted, "Y, long time no see." ”

"I'm sorry, but I was really busy some time ago."

"Is your new movie finished?"

"No, there are still some shots that have not been taken, and there is a lot of post-production work."

An Li said with a smile, "Don't worry, look at us here, we started before you, and the filming has not ended yet, let alone the post-production work." ”

"After all, you are filming a huge work, unlike us, most of the scenes are filmed in one place."

Zhou Yan watched the films they made and knew the hardships, this movie An Li shot a lot of shots, so long that Zhou Yan felt that if he was asked to cut it, maybe he would have to cut out a movie of more than three hours.

If the pace is slowed down a bit, Zhou Yan even thinks that An Li can consider making it into two parts, adding up to four hours.

A longer time will definitely be more able to express the thoughts of the director and screenwriter, but the audience probably won't like it.

According to An Lee's character, he will not be too willful to insist on a long time.

"Recently, Colombia is going to remake "The Sixth Sense", which has been very lively, but I am more curious, why don't you become your own director, your own script, you have already filmed it again, and it must be handy to reshoot."

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Isn't that boring? ”

"That's just as well." An Li nodded.

The same movie, or even the same theme, is not interesting to shoot repeatedly.

Chiesa next to him glanced at Zhou Yan, with a playful smile on his face, he didn't think that Zhou Yan didn't want to be the director of the remake of "The Sixth Sense", how could Colombia invest so much money for this film, how could it be possible to invite a Chinese director to direct?

An Lee was able to direct "Sense and Sensibility" entirely because An Lee had won a film festival award before, and he himself lived in the United States.

What does Zhou Yan have? The biggest achievement is that "The Sixth Sense" won more than 10 million box office.

"I heard that the company is preparing to hire a well-known screenwriter to readapt "The Sixth Sense", and the remake of "The Sixth Sense" may not be the same as the original version." Chiesa said.

Hearing Chiesa's words, An Li said with some regret, "The structure of "The Sixth Sense" is already very perfect, and if the adaptation is too large, the original structure may be destroyed, and the effect may be greatly reduced. ”

After speaking, An Li felt that he was a little speechless, so he made up for it, "Of course, some well-known screenwriters will always come up with some genius ideas that make people's eyes shine." ”

Zhou Yan looked at Chiesa with some doubts, because there are two screenwriters for the remake, and he himself is the first screenwriter, which means that whether the remake version will be changed and how to change it, basically Zhou Yan can decide.

There are not many changes to this movie, most of them are changes in details, and the overall structure will not change in any way, as An Li said, the overall structure of this movie is no longer easy to change.

As soon as the structure is changed, it is very different from the original story.

Therefore, Chiesa's words made Zhou Yan a little puzzled, and he didn't know where he got the news from, maybe he also listened to those rumors outside.

Colombia spreads a lot of fake news, but I didn't expect Chiesa, who is from Colombia, to believe these fake news.

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, whatever they want to change, since it's been handed over to them, I don't have to worry about it." ”

An Li nodded and said, "It's very good to have this mentality, and it's ......."

In fact, An Li wants to say that if the remake version is too good, it may not be a good thing for Zhou Yan.

The original version and the remake version will definitely be compared together, if the two are similar, then basically the original version will have more advantages, but if the two are too different, others will question Zhou Yan's directing level.

On the contrary, if the remake is not good, it will deepen people's good opinion of the original.

An Li believes that even if this movie can be made better than Zhou Yan, I am afraid that it will not be crushed, so Zhou Yan is basically invincible.

"By the way, you've also seen the film, do you have any new inspiration for the soundtrack?" An Li changed his words and said.

Zhou Yan smiled, "I have a little idea, but it's not comprehensive, after all, the films I watch are all messy, and I don't know which ones you will stay in the end." I explained all the special shots, and the notebook was in my bag. ”

An Li stretched out his hand, "Give it to me, let's see as we walk." ”

Zhou Yan nodded, took out the notebook and handed it to An Li.

The three of them then walked towards the rest area.

After arriving at the place, An Li was looking at Zhou Yan's record book carefully, and Alan Rickman, who was not far away, saw Zhou Yan and walked over with a smile.

"Mr. Y, I haven't seen you in a few days, did you just come here today?"

Alan Rickman wears a costume and speaks in a tone that is very characteristic of the petty aristocracy of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

"Well, it's been a long time, Mr. Rickman, I was in London the other day, and I just arrived here today."

Hearing that Zhou Yan was in London a few days ago, Alan Rickman was surprised, "Yes, I was also in London yesterday, and I knew that you were also in London, I would definitely invite you to see my new play "Winter Visitor". ”

"Did you star?"

"I'm the director." Alan Rickman laughed.

Zhou Yan said regretfully, "That's a pity, if I knew about your drama performance, I would definitely go to the show." ”

"How long are you going to be here this time?"

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to stay for a long time this time because I have a concert here in July."

"Is it your own concert?" Alan Rickman's eyes lit up.

"Well, it's my own concert."

"Do I have the privilege of participating?" Alan Rickman asked.

"Of course, if you have the time."

"We're already at the end of the film, and I won't have a lot of footage in post-production, so I should be able to have time to listen to it live."

"In that case, I'll leave you a ticket when I go back...... Is one ticket enough? ”

"I might need two."

"Okay, I'll leave you two."

"Keep me one too." An Li, who was reading the record book, suddenly spoke.

Zhou Yan smiled, "Okay, I'll leave you one too." ”

At this time, An Li put the notebook on his lap and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't let you stay in vain, I will give you the ticket money when the time comes." ”

"Haha, I'm not going to make money for your ticket."

"Then I'll thank you in advance, I've seen almost all these things you remembered, and it's basically the same as before, but I've broken down those tunes in more detail. When it comes to the later stage, I have to trouble you. ”

"It's okay, it's my job." Zhou Yan thought for a while, and then said, "Actually, in addition to the soundtrack, there are a few small problems, I want to mention them to you." ”

"What's the problem?" An Li asked with an eyebrow.

He doesn't simply treat Zhou Yan as a soundtrack, Zhou Yan's talent in movies makes him attach great importance to Zhou Yan's opinions.

"Don't be nervous, it's just some little goofs."

"Well, tell me."

"The first goof is that when Marianne was playing the song "Dream", she made a mistake, which is actually no problem here, but when the voice is matched in the later stage, the wrong note must be matched, otherwise it will not be right."

Alan Rickman laughed, "As a musician, you can notice such details." ”

Zhou Yan said modestly, "It's not a difficult thing. ”

"Well, I've written this down, are there anything else?" An Li asked.

"Yes, the second one is related to this passage, Colonel Brandon gave Marianne a piano, which was not easy to go, first by carriage, then by hand pushed up the garden path, and finally moved to the house. In this case, it is unlikely that the pitch will be accurate if you play it directly without tuning it beforehand. ”

"The third one is also related to musical instruments, and in one of them, there is a violinist who leaves the church wearing a jaw guard, but as far as I know, this thing has only been around since the twentieth century."

Hearing Zhou Yan finish talking about these two goofs, An Li and Rickman looked at each other, this is too fine.

I won't talk about the first two, after all, for a musician like Zhou Yan, it is not difficult to see these two goofs, as long as you think a little more.

But the third one is a bit scary, Zhou Yan would have known that the jaw guard ring has only been used since the twentieth century.

Their crew has a special historical consultant, but the historical consultant did not find this problem.

But An Lee doesn't blame the historical consultant, because this one is too detailed.

An Li feels that even if the movie is broadcast, few people will be able to notice it.

"Well, I've memorized these questions, and I'll revise them later."

These goofs are not difficult to change.

The first one doesn't even need to be changed, just according to what Zhou Yan said, when the voice is matched in the later stage, the wrong sound is corrected.

As for the second, they can add a tuned plot that doesn't even require the main character to make up the shot.

Third, it's not a big deal if this shot is deleted.

Zhou Yan smiled, "There is one more ......"

"And?" An Li was surprised, "Is it related to music?" ”

"No, at the wedding, Brandon first rummaged through his pockets and threw all the coins out, but the second time, he threw more coins out of this pocket. Actually, these two shots are not put together, but I have a feeling that you may cut it like this later, so I would like to warn you in advance. ”

An Li thoughtfully, "Well, I remember. ”

Chiesa next to him couldn't help but say, "Mr. Y, can you be sure about the situation of the jaw guard?" Do you have authoritative evidence to prove it? ”

Zhou Yan shook his head, "That's not true, I just read some relevant introductions before." What I'm saying isn't necessarily right, so you can check it out. ”

"Then we'll have to go to Steven to make sure." Chiesa said.

An Li waved his hand, "No need to confirm." ”

"Why?" Chiesa wondered.

"Because confirming this thing is a very time-consuming thing, instead of spending time to confirm that it is true or false, it is better to simply delete this picture, or even reshoot a shot, which is more convenient than verifying."

Chiesa pursed her lips and said nothing.

Zhou Yan was also nodding, An Li was right, it was very difficult to verify this kind of thing.

It's not the age of the Internet, it's easy to find information, first of all, they don't even know where to go to verify, when did the violinist's jaw guard come about, the topic itself is too tricky, too niche.

Therefore, the most troublesome solution is to delete the shot directly, if you are reluctant to take this shot, then reshoot it, and it is not too difficult for them to make up a shot.

An Li thought about it, and asked Zhou Yan with a smile, "Do you want to make a cameo?" ”

Zhou Yan looked surprised, "I'm here to make a cameo?" ”

"Well, you're here to make a cameo appearance as a tuner, but only with a shot of the back." An Li smiled embarrassedly, "To tell you the truth, our crew doesn't have a professional tuner during this time, so we can only hope for you." ”

The film's footage related to musical instruments has already been filmed, and of course there can't be anyone who is professionally related to musical instruments here.

"I can actually be a mentor too."

"Mentoring takes time, and it may not be professional, isn't it the most efficient for you to act directly? Rest assured, the salary will not be less than yours. ”

"Okay, so are we going to go to Trafalgar Villa to make up the shot?"

Barton Manor was filmed at Trafalgar Villa, and if you want to reshoot, you should go there as well.

An Li shook his head and said, "No, just find a room here in Wilton, and after the filming is finished, just cut it in." ”

"Well, that's a way to do it, too."

……

An Li said that he would really do it, and after filming the originally planned scene the next morning, he made up the tuning shots.

Zhou Yan changed his clothes, put on a wig, and tuned the piano.

Zhou Yan was not given a frontal shot during the whole process, and most of the time it was Marianne who followed him around the piano.

It was originally a very simple set of shots, but it was quickly completed.

When the filming was over, An Li smiled and applauded, "Congratulations Y, it's finished." ”

Zhou Yan thought that An Li would shout casually, but what he didn't expect was that the staff also came over with a bouquet of flowers and specially organized a simple finishing ceremony for him.

Seeing this scene, many people at the scene burst into laughter.

Zhou Yan hugged the flowers and said with a smile, "Thank you to the crew for the flowers......"

Before he finished speaking, An Li said, "No thanks, this bouquet of flowers was bought with your salary." ”

Now, the laughter at the scene was even louder.

Zhou Yan smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, as long as you don't ask me to make up money for you again." (End of chapter)
