At this time, Chen Lei, the director of the "Three-Body" TV series, was carefully narrating the play to the participants and began to have some discussions.
Filming has begun.
In addition to shooting, in my free time, I work on some characters or scenes that need to appear next.
It is still necessary to talk about it or discuss some issues in advance.
It just so happens.
At this time, the scene Chen Lei was talking about was Ye Wenjie.
In this first TV series, there is an old Ye Wenjie in the modern timeline, and a young Ye Wenjie in the memories.
That is to say
There are two actors playing Ye Wenjie.
One character, two actors, who have to portray the differences between young and old, but they are the same person.
It's hard.
On location in Red Bank.
The other staff members were busy setting up the scene, while Chen Lei was telling the two teachers about the play.
"Teacher Chen Jin, look, the old Ye Wenjie you play will walk from here to here. As he walks, his fingers will gently touch the old equipment. At this time, the scene that flashes in your mind is that of a young man. Every scene here."
Chen Jin nodded.
Remember what the director said very carefully.
It is extremely difficult to really get rid of the complex emotions of old Ye Wenjie looking around at Lao Hong'an.
After all, here, Ye Wenjie killed her husband and sent a signal to the Trisolarans.
The firm idea at the beginning was followed by the torment of regret and confusion after learning the truth about the Trisolarans and the truth that "technological progress does not mean moral progress" and "survival in the universe is the only thing".
Ye Wenjie at this time.
It is necessary to recall all this.
"so hard"
Wang Ziwen, who plays the young Ye Wenjie, raised her eyebrows slightly.
Although they are both Ye Wenjie's performers.
What young Ye Wenjie needs is the ultimate one-sided emotional tension and the process of gradually becoming a commander-in-chief.
The old Ye Wenjie has seen through many things and has regretted it. The emotional tension is often very restrained, but the pressure that the young Ye Wenjie has grown up needs to be fully exerted.
Although the two have the same very clear characteristics.
But after all, changes are still there.
"As for Xiaowen, what you need is to do different tasks on this row of equipment."
"When you are working, you need to perform performances that are full of hope, despair and numbness, and even have cold hearts. Completely different work attitudes."
"And before and after the launch, he had a ghost in his heart and was very nervous, but he was very calm and calm."
Director Chen Lei spoke in detail.
Wang Ziwen also nodded.
have to say.
The difficulty of this scene is extremely huge.
Perhaps, in the TV series, it is just a few tens of seconds of "the old Ye Wenjie returns to Hong'an, fingers caressing the old machines, walking in the cold aisles, recalling the past scene after scene." .
But if it can be performed well.
This scene will undoubtedly be impressive and better reflect the charm of Ye Wenjie's character.
soon.
Shooting begins.
The clip of young Ye Wenjie came first.
Because it is a very fragmented shooting and not a coherent scene, the difficulty is relatively low.
"You are nervous, don't glance around. Even if you are young Ye Wenjie, you are still Ye Wenjie, the Ye Wenjie who can calmly cut the rope of your lover."
"You may be nervous, but you will definitely not panic!"
With the help of Director Chen.
Wang Ziwen is able to feel the vitality of the character more and more, and she is getting better and better at interpreting the character.
After filming several times, Director Chen finally announced after seeing the results.
"Pass!"
"Okay! Xiaowen, great!"
All the staff present also applauded.
But he was not idle either.
After the director said it, the scene manager immediately organized the manpower to redecorate the scene according to the next task arrangement.
"How is it? Teacher Chen Jin?"
Director Chen Lei looked at Chen Jin with concern.
"Well, I already have some ideas."
Chen Jin nodded.
Several clips of Wang Ziwen's performance just now flashed through his mind.
Immediately, connect them according to the timeline of the plot.
Take a deep breath and start adjusting.
The scene is set.
The shooting officially started.
Chen Jin's pace was slow and leisurely.
The clicking sound is very clear.
The camera moves to the face.
There is simply too much drama in those eyes.
He seemed to feel tired and a little numb.
The expression on his face isn't that obvious, but it's definitely not expressionless.
It can give people a feeling of smiling but not smiling.
His eyes sometimes glanced slightly.
Apparently there seemed to be no emotion.
But one can clearly feel a strong oppressive force.
Calm, dignified and elegant.
When he was young, he was quite a bit of an intellectual, but the temperament of Professor Hua Qing, who had experienced a life full of ups and downs, was undoubtedly revealed.
When the shooting is over.
The director began to look at the shooting conditions of each shot.
"How is it? Director?"
"Um"
Director Chen frowned.
After thinking about it carefully, he finally spoke.
"Teacher Chen Jin, your performance is indeed lifelike, very much like what I imagined the old Ye Wenjie would look like."
"But I always feel like something is missing."
Chen Jin was slightly startled.
But he wasn't angry.
Together with Director Chen, he fell into deep thought.
Think carefully whether you have missed any of Ye Wenjie's qualities.
Dignity, calmness, and profound qualities flashed through Chen Jin's mind one after another.
But still don't know what is missing.
Director Chen also frowned slightly.
For a moment, it seemed a bit indescribable.
In Director Chen's mind, this scene should have been more shocking.
But what is the missing finishing touch?
At this moment, a staff member came forward and whispered to Director Chen.
"Director Chen, the lunch box has arrived."
"Well, okay, let's have dinner first!"
Director Chen nodded.
It's not okay to go down a dead end.
It's better to start the meal first and take advantage of the meal time to start researching what's wrong with you.
Soon, the lunch box was served.
Today's lunch box is very good.
Tomato eggs, pork slices, fried cabbage noodles, fried eggs, sausages, and a chicken drumstick.
While eating.
Director Chen turned on his computer.
He glanced at the file outline of the entire TV series recorded in the folder.
Then I saw my social software light up.
"Huh? Teacher Li Jinglin?"
Director Chen clicked on the file.
Then he discovered that Li Jinglin sent him an MP3 file.
"So fast?"
Director Chen was very surprised by Li Jinglin's speed.
After all, this was just a short time after filming started.
It’s not yet time for the soundtrack to show its full potential.
It's still too early to consider the suitability of the soundtrack.
but.
After all, this was sent by Li Jinglin, and Director Chen still took it very seriously.
Especially because the name on this document made Director Chen very concerned.
"Ye Wenjie".Mp3!
After clicking on music.
Director Chen suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Just after the cold piano melody sounded, Director Chen knew that something was wrong just now!
Ice cold.
Ye Wenjie's heart was cold, but there was still a little warmth left.
This cold expression is a foundation!
Director Chen put down his chopsticks unconsciously and listened carefully.
This music is cold.
But it's not absolute zero.
It seems to give a little leeway.
But what is this vacancy?
Director Chen listened carefully.
Soon, fragments of the violin's melody were heard.
This long high note was like a ray of light in the darkness, instantly piercing Director Chen's inspiration.
Where did Ye Wenjie's inner coldness come from?
It's because of her complete despair and abandonment of humanity.
Isn't the reason why I feel this way just because of Ye Wenjie's knowledge and height? Ye Wenjie's calm and elegant temperament was built from knowledge.
In despair for mankind, Ye Wenjie still had hope.
After all, she is not trying to destroy mankind, but is trying to hope that alien civilization can save mankind.
The deepest ruthlessness comes from the deepest love.
And after hope was shattered.
The one who greeted Ye Wenjie was the one who responded to Ye Wenjie’s first half of his life.
It is the deepest sorrow in my heart.
Sad for mankind, sad for fate, and sad for oneself.
However, due to her strong heart, she would not bring such sadness to the surface.
Just as she said.
[Women are made of water, no matter what they encounter, they can flow through it. 】
"Yes! I know! I know what is missing."
Director Chen suddenly became excited.
He said to the stunned Chen Jin.
"Despair for mankind comes from hope, and after hope is shattered, what is left to Ye Wenjie is a kind of sadness, but this sadness will not be easily revealed by a person like the commander!"
Such a sentence.
It took an outstanding actor like Chen Jin to instantly understand what was wrong with him.
"Come on, listen quickly!"
Director Chen handed the headphones to Chen Jin.
The intertwining of piano and violin.
It seems that the image of Ye Wenjie is constructed.
Vague.
But clear.
"director!"
Looking at Chen Jin's burning eyes, Director Chen immediately understood what he meant.
There is no ambiguity at the moment.
"Everyone has it!"
"Red Bank 1 - Ye Wenjie - Game 1 begins!"
I heard what the director said.
Everyone immediately started to move.
Such emergencies are common.
Sudden calls like this are not uncommon, and everyone has long been accustomed to them.
soon.
Shooting continues.
as expected.
This time, Chen Jin's eyes were deeper and more textured.
The numbness faded a little, but there was a little more sadness buried in my heart, looming.
Da da da.
Ye Wenjie's footsteps walked lightly.
Director Chen didn't want to make a sound and couldn't help but clenched his fists.
soon.
After one pass of the scene.
Director Chen immediately started watching the filmed footage.
"Pass!!"
"Bah bang bang!"
The staff applauded again.
Although it disturbed everyone's meal.
But it didn't take too long.
Moreover, it is done once and for all, which will naturally make all the staff feel comfortable.
Immediately.
Director Chen quickly replied to Li Jinglin.
[It fits so well, thank you Teacher Li for your help! Thumbs up.jpg】
Didi~
[This is the first version. I’ll give you a rough idea. If it’s suitable and can be used as a character promotion song, I will make it for him. If some fine-tuning is needed in the TV series, it can also be modified based on this song. 】
oh?
Director Chen's eyes lit up.
As a director, Director Chen naturally knows how the soundtrack should serve the film and television images and lens language.
This thing.
It is there for a certain period of time.
That is a different kind of stuck point.
In order to get stuck, sometimes the soundtrack will be modified, but sometimes the editing will also be modified.
But generally speaking, editing will still be the main focus.
However, the two minutes and sixteen seconds of music made Director Chen unwilling to change even a little bit.
Immediately reply.
【Just do it! This version is really great. As for the soundtracks in later movies and TV shows, we can talk about it later! 】
Didi~
Soon, Li Jinglin responded.
[OK, then I will produce it first, mix it and then send it to you. You can make the sound source over there. 】
[OK, Teacher Li, don’t worry. 】
Director Chen couldn't help but admire him.
Li Jinglin's assist was really just right.
"No wonder Li Jinglin can create so many classic scores. Whether it's his understanding of the characters, his portrayal, or his identification and control of the core, it's all amazing. He captured the key points right away!"
"What kind of soundtrack fairy is this? Double Hollywood treatment, not a penny of it is for free!!"
Director Chen admired.
While typing on the keyboard again.
[Teacher Li, I wonder if you could give a similar character impression song to the key tasks in the play? Or some famous scene music? 】
Didi~
【OK! I'll see what's easy to make, and I'll make it for you to see. Wait for me for three days. 】
Li Jinglin's reply was very fast.
Three days?
Director Chen was surprised.
Is three days too short?
But just wanted to type.
This impulse was abruptly suppressed by Director Chen.
Just a brief moment.
Director Chen remembered what Director Guo said about Li Jinglin's speed in scoring.
Don't worry anymore.
then.
Time passed like this little by little.
Three days later.
It happened to be the crew's day off.
I gave you all a holiday.
At this time, Director Chen was sitting in front of the computer waiting for news about Li Jinglin.
Because the character impression song "Ye Wenjie" was such a surprise to Director Chen, Director Chen's expectations were naturally very high.
In fact, last night, Director Chen felt a little unable to sleep.
I am even more excited today.
"What surprise will Teacher Li give me today?"
Director Chen rubbed his little hands.
If there is another character, will it be Wang Miao? Could it be Shi Qiang? Or Evans? Ding Yi?
Anyway, no matter which one it is, it may bring you a surprise.
Liu's articles are strong in plot, imagination, and unique characterization.
But there are no other details.
Therefore, many times, if you want to make a TV series and respect the original text, you need to add some things.
Li Jinglin's works can definitely give you some extended atmosphere.
Didn't wait too long.
Three days means three days.
However, this posture immediately confused Director Chen.
Didi didi~
Didi, didi, didi~
In the midst of the crackling, Li Jinglin sent himself files one after another as if they were running away.
Director Chen was dumbfounded.
"Wochao! You didn't say you would send me so many at once!"
I heard from friends that British university canteens are terrible.
Le, still too young.
Although the UK is a food desert, it is rich and very talented. People know that their food is unpalatable, so at least you can still eat Italian and French food.
Korean university cafeterias are the most desperate, right?
Help yourself in the snack area and lose weight with a smile.
