Chapter 35

Gu Ao still underestimated the cumbersome work of filming.

It took him five or six days to complete the filming and the journey, which was only two days in total. But the key is that it took him a lot of effort and a bgm later.

Regarding bgm, Gu Ao had a long time ago, so he used the music of the 83 The Legend of the Condor Heroes directly. However, when he started, he realized that Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei didn't know how to "listen to the sound and record the score", and Gu Ao himself did not have such a sensitive ear sound, so he could only think of another way.

In layman's terms, he can hum this song, but he doesn't know how to write the corresponding music score. In fact, most people who are not talented enough in music and God doesn't appreciate food have this problem.

Zhang Yimou originally suggested going back to Beijing Film Academy to find a classmate who majored in sound effects to help, but Gu Ao refused to hum but didn't know the score, which was easy to suspect that "plagiarizes a song that a famous artist has not yet officially published."

In the end, Gu Ao went to Beijing Normal University to seek medical treatment by viruses. After returning to Beijing, he went to Beijing Normal University and found his literary and artistic fan Ren Yuqin, and tried to ask her to help listen to the song and record the score.

Since the beginning of last semester, when I invited Xu Mengrou and Yuqin to eat caviar, I played music with the other party once. Gu Ao found that this Gusu Ruan girl seemed quite talented. She did not develop this skill because she had no chance to touch musical instruments since she was a child.

When they met again, Ren Yuqin was so excited that she heard that she had the value of being used by Gu Ao, she quickly agreed.

And she really lived up to expectations, with a great talent in listening. Gu Ao hummed the 1-minute Gao Fei of "Iron Blood and Danxin" two or three times. She recorded the score and played it herself to test it, which was very accurate.

He even gave Gu Ao some simple arrangement suggestions, mainly focusing on "what instrument is most suitable to use to express this song".

This opinion is very useful because a utilitarian person like Gu Ao who plays music has never thought about the question of "what instrument is used to play the theme song of the 83 The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in his previous life.

"It's so amazing. I asked me to teach you the tune half a year ago, but now I'm so good at it. It's a pity for you to read literature." Gu Ao was happy to commend him after receiving the music score and arrangement suggestions.

"That piano was tuned by my senior, and I practiced it every day." Ren Yuqin showed kindness and smiled shyly, "It's good to study literature. If you learn some music by yourself, you will be quite glorious in writing lyrics for others in the future, and you don't have to go back to middle school to teach."

Gu Ao's heart moved and said warmly: "You have helped me a lot this time. I'll give you some good things in the future."

Ren Yuqin quickly refused: "No, you have helped me, and I have also seen so many things. It is my duty to help you, how can I collect things?"

She was eager to leave a favor with Senior Gu.

Gu Ao smiled warmly: "Don't think too much, it's not like the valuables to send you a few instruments. If you practice well, you can do more with me in the future."

Ren Yuqin felt a shock in her heart, as if she was about to be melted by Gu Ao's kind expression.

"Then...thank you, I will study hard. If you can get my place in the future, you must come back to find me."

"That's necessary, I'm not a charity person." Gu Ao said it for granted, "Then I'll leave first, there's still something to do."

"Let's go slowly." Ren Yuqin watched Gu Ao return to the car. When Gu Ao was about to roll the window, she plucked up the courage to slid it on the window and asked softly, "Senior Gu, can we still come to your school's Christmas dance this Christmas Eve?"

Gu Ao: "Of course you can come here. This is a routine activity at the school and it will be available every year."

Ren Yuqin stomped her feet gently: "I mean, can you please dance with me this year?"

Gu Ao sat upright, secretly paid attention to the other person's expression, and said cautiously: "We are already friends, aren't we? If you want, I welcome you at any time. But you should know that I have danced with many girls, and this is just dancing."

Of course Ren Yuqin knows what it means. Everyone is smart, so there is no need to say it too directly.

She has always placed herself in a humble "fan" position, knowing that she is incomparable to Gu Ao's other female close friends.

But it's great to be friends all the time.

When I was young and passionate, girls were unwilling to think too long.

...

After finishing the BGM, I spent a long time singing and recording with my juniors, and matching it with the edited commercials, and everything was done.

On the day the matter was completed, Zhang Yimou happened to have a junior senior who was going to go to Hujiang Studio for an internship for a while in the new school year.

Gu Ao handed him over the sample to Hujiang and gave him a 10 yuan travel fee subsidy. After he got there, he connected with Ma Feng and sent it to Director Xu for final cutting.

After all this, Gu Ao privately sealed a red envelope of 200 yuan for Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei, thanking them for their voluntary help over the past week.

But both of them were very determined to refuse to accept it.

"Brother Gu, this is a shame. You give us face and say we are voluntarily helping. In fact, we are clear about our level. If you don't dislike us, it's enough to be righteous. This money must not be collected!"

"We have been studying for two years, and the film we have really touched is not as good as the past two days. You are giving us a chance to practice our skills!"

Gu Ao finally finished filming for 10 minutes, and finished filming in just 40 seconds. The editing ratio was 12 times. In Zhang Yimou's opinion, it was simply extravagant.

Nowadays, it is quite rich to make a formal movie in China based on a 4-to-1 cut ratio. For TV series, it is estimated that it will take at least 2 minutes to shoot for 3 minutes, otherwise it will be considered a mistake.

There are also more TV series that are not filmed with "film", but are cheaper "tapes".

(That is, the "video tape" shot with "cassette recorders". The one that was displayed in domestic video halls in the 1980s was put into production by JVC in 1976. This is much cheaper than "film" because it is stored in digital mode. However, there are problems with image distortion and clarity, so compared with "film", it is located downstream of the contempt chain.)

Gu Ao finally persuaded him, and the other party took a step back:

"Don't mention the money, vulgar. If the advertisement is really successful in the end, give each of us a box of 'yl special songs', even if we are all in a festive mood."

A box of six bottles of medium and high-end liquor costs only 30 or 40 yuan, so I decided that.

Before breaking up, Zhang Yimou Gu Changwei also left Gu Ao the contact information and dormitory address at the school, so that Gu Ao would have any chance to practice next time, so he could find them directly, without being polite.

...

After sending the film to Hujiang, Gu Ao finally had a sigh of relief and prepared all the complicated affairs at the beginning of school.

With the advent of September, he is also considered a formal junior. In addition to his busy studies, he was also arrested as usual and was in charge of the freshman reception work.

This year, he is no longer required to go to Chongwenmen Railway Station to pick up freshmen, but who made him the most dazzling grades among the seniors in the 77th grade? Reporting is inevitable for all kinds of public speeches that encourage freshmen, which took him a lot of time.

The scale of freshmen this year has expanded by half, with 90 people. Among them, 60 are still in the diplomatic class, while the remaining 30 are non-diplomatic directions such as news and media (these 30 people will not be included in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the future. In the future, the Diplomacy Academy will have more students who do not include the Ministry of Foreign Affairs).

After finishing the period without raising my feet, it suddenly entered mid-September.

"The Call of the Distant Mountains" finally premiered in China. The four first-tier cities and most developed second-tier provincial capitals of Xinhua Cinemas received copies on the same day and began to be screened.

As for remote second-tier and lower-level cities, we still need to wait a few days because there is also logistics delay in copying mail, which is like this in this era.

Gu Ao also took Isminaya's junior sister to secretly go to the cinema to watch, but he was too busy to make it to the premiere day.

After careful calculation, it has been two and a half years since we traveled to this era. This is Gu Ao's first time entering a cinema, and he is really curious.

There are few cinemas nowadays, and at least there is no one in the Diplomatic Academy that officially opens to the outside world within one kilometer.

He asked his roommate Huang Xun about the nearby cinema, but Huang Xun also questioned with contempt: "Why do you want to watch a movie when watching a movie? The screening room in the dormitory building has nothing to do with it?"

"I'm telling you the serious matter!" Gu Ao looked very serious.

"You can't be enlightened. You want to have a girl alone in the dark, right?" Huang Xunzhe smiled and looked at her for a few seconds before revealing, "You have to find someone to open for business outside of Xuanwu Gate. The environment is pretty good. Next to the Affiliated High School of Normal University and Liuli Factory."

Gu Ao: "Thank you."

Huang Xun said gossip: "Hey, is it an offer to Ye Wan?"

"It's not your business!"

"mean!"

...

Gu Ao drove Volga and took his junior to the Workers' Club Cinema.

Isminaya was quite excited inside. This was the first time her senior had asked her out for something other than work.

Although the movie I want to watch itself was posted on the opening of the movie, Isminaya has never watched the movie "The Call of the Distant Mountains"

The copy of the sample to be reviewed in the school is from the original Japanese soundtrack. Isminaya majored in several foreign languages ​​in the Middle East and knew nothing about Japanese, so she didn't want to bother the Japanese class to read it together.

There were more than ten minutes before the show started, and the cinema was full of seats, and it seemed that all the tickets were sold out.

Movie tickets worth 1 to 20 cents per ticket are quite affordable for the people of Beijing. Because of the popularity of "Chasing" in the first half of the year, I heard that "The Call of the Distant Mountains" is also starring Ken Takakura, which naturally attracts a large number of star-chasing people.

It can only be said that the promotion of the distribution is very efficient, which directly hits the selling point of "Ken Takakura".

When the opening advertisement sounded, the crowd was slightly turbulent, but then calmed down. Some viewers who came to learn the theme songs for the second time all looked like "Ki Jiao Wu 6" to literate the new audience around them: What's the point of making a fuss? Isn't it just an advertisement? Isn't it satisfying to give you five more minutes to watch?

Especially when the advertisement is put to the last one, everyone listened to the song "The Condor Heroes to Bing Outside the Envoy", and looked at a tall and powerful man who was so nervous that he exploded on the screen, bent his bow and shot arrows at a flying eagle reflecting the rising sun.

Finally, he strangled the horse and stood up. From the beautiful lady who was riding the horse with her bridle beside her, she took a bottle of thrown white wine, broke the bottle cap and poured it into her mouth.

"yl, the choice of a real man." A vulgar slogan rang.

But the impact of visual communication is definitely proportional to the degree of vulgarity.

"Did you think of the scene where Ken Takakura was at the Hokkaido Racecourse in "The Chase"?"

"This ad is more handsome than the main film."

While the audience whispered, the movie was cut to the main film.

"The Call of the Distant Mountains" is a feature film set in Hokkaido Racecourse, so any domestic audience who have watched "Chasing" has a good first impression of this entry point.

This impression quickly resonated with the advertising effect.

"It looks like the effect will be good."

"Senior, the person next to me has a strong smell. Can I lean over?"

"Is that right? Do you want to change your position?"
