After Jay Chou and Gui Lunmei sat down, Xu Xin deliberately blocked the RED light and said:

"Anyway, there's no video. Let me see if you show a relaxed state."

"OK."

Guilunmei took a deep breath.

He narrowed his eyes.

And Jay Chou also put on his coat...

The weather in January was quite cold in the studio without heating.

Then, following the director's idea, she opened her eyes, looked at Jay Chou's hand that was already on the piano, and put it directly on it.

"Ding ding dong dong ding ding dong dong..."

A simple but lively intro begins.

Xu Xin also quietly moved away from the camera.

Jay Chou's performance this time was still casual, but Gui Lunmei's performance was actually similar to him.

It also looks very casual.

Although the two people's notes often went wrong in the second half, at least the tension on Gui Lunmei's face was eliminated.

Xu Xin, at some point, once again turned into a frowning and thoughtful look, standing sideways and staring at the two people playing.

Soon, the section ends.

Suddenly, he said:

"It's still wrong. Although you have been integrated, there are some problems with the connection between this integration and the story in the script. EMMMM..."

Xu Xin seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said:

"In this case, you play first."

Pointing at Guilun Mei, he said:

"You play first, and play the melody leisurely. Remember the classical beauty that Qingyi showed just now, right? Just like her, you show the solemnity and elegance of a pianist... and then

It's you."

Pointing at Jay Chou:

"After her melody sounded, you joined in. Then at this time, Lu Xiaoyu was surprised, unexpected, because she didn't prepare to play the four-handed play at first. Because in the script, Ye Xianglun was deliberately trying to be cool, right?

You can act cool, play the piano behind your back, and then act like you want to hold Lu Xiaoyu's hand.

This is the beginning, and Lu Xiaoyu’s turning point is that he starts to play the piano by himself. This is the beginning and the end. It means that although Lu Xiaoyu refused to hold hands with Jay Chou... No, Ye Xianglun... Oh, it’s so troublesome, Lu Xiaoyu refused.

Jay Chou holds hands, but still joins in. This is the most basic process of promoting a relationship between a man and a woman. If you sit down, it means that even if you are a little shy, you are still willing to promote the relationship. This is the first stage of the rocket."

"Well……"

"..."

Jay Chou and Gui Lunmei looked at Xu Xin eagerly.

After hearing this, even Jay Chou couldn't help but say:

"Yes... yes? Is that what you mean?"

Obviously, he didn't think so when he wrote the script, but just wanted to look cool.

After Xu Xin heard this, he nodded directly:

"Don't worry, leave it to me. I know how to interpret the story here. Note that after the first stage of the rocket's advancement, it's time for the second extended range advancement. Here, Lu Xiaoyu, you play first, you play, it's a response... or

He said that he acquiesces to Ye Xianglun sitting next to him. This is your emotional line... The second emotional line is initiated by you. When you play, it is the ignition device of the second engine. When you start to play, the emotional rocket starts to ignite. Then

,Ye Xianglun, you..."

"...Am I not Jay Chou?"

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kill you!"

"..."

"Ye Xianglun, you start to join in. You help her start to push. Then, Lu Xiaoyu, you have to show that you are surprised by his rash joining. Pay attention, showing this surprised emotion, your emotional state should be

Like this... First, he started the Formula 1, and then ended by refusing to hold hands but taking a seat. And when you started playing the piano, the Formula 2 ignited, but he suddenly joined you, which caught you off guard, but immediately your two piano sounds began to converge.

But, Lu Xiaoyu, you still have to maintain the style of a strict classical musician, and Jay Chou here..."

Jay Chou actually really wanted to ask again, "Am I Jay Chou or Ye Xianglun?", but looking at Xu Xin's eyes that said "I'll kill you if you dare to do it again", he finally gave up...

"You just started to show that casual state, but you have to be more restrained. Lu Xiaoyu was surprised at first, understand? She looked very surprised. And Ye Xianglun, you started to let yourself go after you saw her restrained look,

Then lead her to let herself go together. You both have to show a growth curve of your mental journey. Do you understand what I mean? Then...here...that's it...you play it, that ding dong ding dong ding

That "dong ding dong" part..."

"……here?"

Jay Chou's fingers pressed on the black and white keys of the piano key and pressed them repeatedly.

Ding dong ding dong ding dong…

"Yes, it's right here... Look, here are two pieces of this sound, right? You two have to show conflict and tacit understanding. Because this is a single note, because there was no agreement on who will play it before. You want to play,

You want to play too. What should I do? Come on, you two do this."

Xu Xin's hands were clasped together.

"Jay Chou played the piano, Lu Xiaoyu played his hand, and then Jay Chou played her hand to "mop the oil", and then Lu Xiaoyu suddenly laughed. In the end, the notes of the two of you were in harmony... Teacher Li, this section

You prepare, follow the curve and shoot like this. My eyes will act as a close-up of the hand, let's do it again. Show your mental journey, do you understand?"

After he finished speaking, Gui Lunmei understood, but Jay Chou couldn't help but say:

"Is it so complicated?"

"It's not complicated, it's that in a story, you have to explain enough to the audience the changing curve of the character's mental journey, so that they will accept it. If you can't express it, there must be something wrong. So... behave better, understand.

Yes, Ye Xianglun...and Lu Xiaoyu, you too. The psychological changes of the two of you are slowly coming together, from being dignified to being casual, letting go, don't be afraid of making mistakes, and show that contrast...

…”

Li Pingdong looked at the young man breaking up this simple plot, breaking it into pieces and feeding it to the two of them. He touched his pocket with some emotion.

I feel like smoking a little bit.

The reason why he has such feelings...is that he entered the industry very early, in 1978...even before Jay Chou was born, he had already picked up a camera.

As a photographer who has witnessed the rise of Wanwan Film from its glory to its current decline, he knows very well what his shooting state was like in his early years.

For a drama, the director should first determine the shooting concept after receiving the script. Then, he should start to construct the character candidates according to the director's shooting concept. After selecting the suitable actors to take on the roles, the shooting will begin.

The director's ideas run through the entire film.

This is Li Pingdong’s favorite and most accustomed filming atmosphere.

But the current crew...

In fact, it is normal for this young man to respect himself. After all, as a photographer, he can almost be said to be at the top of the Wanwan photography circle.

But he also had apprentices, and a group of people who came after him to learn from him.

There are also friends of the same generation who, although they have not become famous, are still living in this circle in a down-to-earth manner.

And in the past few years...or after 2000, what he heard his friends complain about the most was that the actors or directors were outrageous.

This friend's crew encountered an actor playing a big role, that crew was recruited by a certain company and a few newbies who didn't know how to do shit, or the director of other crews was directly ignored by the producer and actors... and even encountered actors.

Adding scenes privately, changing scenes, or being fired midway due to conflicting ideas between the director and the film crew...

The list goes on and on.

To Li Pingdong, this is actually quite incredible.

Please, this is a movie, not a TV series that just randomly stuffs people into it. When did a movie become so casual?

Simply unbelievable.

Because since his time, the director has always been the well-deserved authority on the crew.

Whether you are a producer or an actor, you must listen to him.

Because only the position of director is the one who can interpret all the films clearly.

Sometimes Li Pingdong even wonders if his path is too smooth.

That’s why I couldn’t see those “weird” sights that my friends described.

The first reason why he agreed to take part in the filming of "The Secret That Cannot Be Told" this time was because Yang Junrong had a good relationship with a friend of his. He asked his friend to intercede and he was willing to take the job.

Second... Actually, no one would believe it when he told it. He joined it because he wanted to see how weird the current film industry is.

After all, as director Hou Hsiao-hsien's royal photographer, few people ask him to hire him. And he has always only cooperated with those big directors.

But the problem is that as his apprentices and friends complain more and more, although he is keenly aware that the Wanwan film market is declining like Hong Kong and Taiwan... he has never experienced it.
To be continued...
