Chapter 104 Nature
Before filming, in addition to Gu Yunkai who learned the piano from Jian Yuan, Alisa also practiced dancing under the arrangement of the crew.
Music and dance have always been inseparable.
The design of the blind pianist's residence made Gu Yunkai somewhat familiar. It was a small two-story building with a very high second floor and a small attic connected by a ladder.The musician's piano is placed in the attic, and there is a big skylight in the attic. The pianist always listens to the sound of the rain hitting the window when it rains, and fumbles to open the window when it is sunny, feeling the breath of the sun and the wind .
Since he was an adult, he spent most of his mediocre life like this, until a fragrant rose broke into his life, dyed the black and white world into colorful colors, and pierced him with thorns all over his body. Got bruised all over.
It took Gu Yunkai a while to realize that the decoration of this small building has a simple and distant style and characteristics. Of course, due to the blindness of the musicians, the ground is not crowded, but it is very crowded in the details. Just verified his loneliness.
Before the filming started, Gu Yunkai also specially discussed with Alyssa in private the positioning of the roles of the male lead Roman and the female lead Kelly, as well as the complicated relationship between the two.
Kelly is a charming, beautiful and charming bar dancer. She has the charm that all women would envy. She can easily use her beauty to make men fall into her arms, and she is also good at using her appearance to achieve her goals; and the same, Her beauty is also the source of misfortune. She is sexy, competitive, vulgar and narrow, and cannot be respected by any man.
This is the biggest reason why Kelly did not abandon Roman. Only in Roman can she experience the most sincere love of men for her, rather than being limited to the obsession with appearance and figure.
And because of vulgarity and narrow-mindedness, Kelly is obsessed with the man who plays with her like a moth to the flame again and again, mistakenly thinking that the man who teases and purely desires her physical existence is a real lover, and abandons Roman like a shoe .
This makes the way she gets along with Roman increasingly distorted. She gradually develops a sense of disgust and absolute possessiveness towards Roman, turning Roman into her private property, and spurning Roman's cowardice and praying for Roman's love after every derailment. Forgive, as if that would atone for her soul.
Everyone in the world is a selfish rogue, Kelly is one of the vulgar beings, and so are the men who play with Kelly, but Roman happens to be the purest individual among these ugly human natures.
Kelly's beauty and health are in direct contrast to Roman's autism and disability. He regards this woman's love for him as a charity, which makes Roman's attitude towards Kelly very different from other men. The beauty that Li is proud of is invisible to Roman. What Roman sees is the gentle kindness hidden under Kelly's vulgar and selfish appearance.
Compared with Kelly, Roman undoubtedly has no advantage in any aspect. Music can only bring him very little money. He regularly composes songs and sends them to his greedy parents. Roman was expelled to a small house to live by himself, and he was given a pitiful living allowance every month, and he had to show compassion and care for the child to the outside world.
Roman is also well aware of all this. He has tasted all the sufferings of the world. He is disgusted by his lover, rejected by his relatives, allowed to be splashed with sewage, allowed to be insulted by others, and the unbearable pain of ordinary people. He is used to it, he has long been used to betrayal and indifference, almost thinking that this is the normal state of people.
So he locked himself in the high attic, facing a skylight, until a girl came to open the window for him, and said good morning to him sweetly, so the heartbeat came.
Today's scene is Kelly kissing her new boyfriend goodbye at the door, but when she opened the door and returned home, she heard Roman's voice on the stairs. She realized that Roman confronted Roman in panic after finding out that she had cheated.
The guest star of the new boyfriend is naturally Henry. The two are lovers, and they are naturally acting in their true colors in front of the camera. The goodbye kiss is particularly sticky and affectionate.
After that, there was a big part of Alyssa's one-man show. Gu Yunkai finished his makeup and waited next to him to play later. Henry, who came to play an extra visit, lay down on the table and looked at him sadly. He looked like someone whose dog food had been robbed. Corgi.While Gu Yunkai was being funny, he was also secretly glad that Jian Yuan didn't come, otherwise the two corgis would be lying here and staring at him.
In this section, Alisa's performance is also very good.
Kelly felt as if her palms were sweating. She paced back and forth downstairs anxiously, her high heels made a lot of noise, and an indescribable fear suddenly hit her.
Would Roman blame her for that?Of course, which man would not be angry, but in his conscience, he should also understand his own shortcomings, and realize that he cannot give her real happiness.Roman is a kind and gentle man. His taciturn nature makes Kelly love him from the bottom of his heart, but his heart is like a child.
What she needs is a dependable man, a real man, not a weak child.
Okay, let's confess everything here, showdown, Kelly said to herself: Although I am just a bar dancer and hired by his parents to be a maid, I have been doing my job these days Conscientious, if I have any ambiguity with him, it will come to an end at this moment, he is indeed an extraordinary and excellent musician, but he can neither dance nor tell jokes, I still have to stay with him It's enough to make him happy, I've had enough.
The more Kelly thought about it, the more proud she became. She suddenly felt that she was one of the greatest and most gentle women of the time. Even the Virgin Mary could not compare with her. She was just an ordinary woman who wanted to find true love. Nothing to blame.She took care of Roman without any complaints, even the encouragement and care that Roman's parents didn't give them wages. If Roman wants to make a big fuss, let him go!
She has her own happiness.
This scene is actually a very stream-of-consciousness one-man show. Movies are different from novels. Novels can describe the psychology of characters delicately, but movies cannot be as convenient as words. This is why literary works always have to be adapted after they are put on the screen. , many plots are the implicit charm that words alone can reveal—to be honest, it’s not unreasonable for Smith to fail in independent films. His scripts and plots are too conscious, and the audience has no idea what he wants to express What.
For example, the author can describe the moving eyes and the meaning behind them, including the connection of the plot, but when shooting a movie, no matter how moving the eyes are, it is just a look. How to convert words into pictures is the essence of the movie. art too.
Alyssa is obviously a bit overwhelmed, but she's perfectly capable of delivering what she can.
Then it will be the turn of the two to play together.
The makeup artist touched up Gu Yunkai's make-up again, and put him in the studio that was already decorated as an attic. For convenience, this small building was "dismembered" into different rooms, like the corner of the whole and the stairs. Most of them were shot on the rented locations. At that time, I wanted to shoot all the shots in the small building, but due to the inconvenience of the camera and the staff, they were still moved to the studio.
At the beginning of the film, Gu Yunkai was playing the piano. Like this kind of movie, fake playing is actually very normal. If you change it to something more casual, you probably just press it randomly. Gu Yunkai is slightly better than the random one. , he played the song "Little Star".
Before entering the door, Alisa laughed and NGed a line outside.
Smith didn't stop, he poked his head out from behind the monitor, still chewing on a piece of biscuit, looked at Gu Yunkai who was playing seriously with a complicated expression, pondered for a moment before holding back a smile and asked: "Yunkai, Do you know other songs?"
"Ah——" Gu Yunkai turned his head to look at the crew in a little embarrassment. These days, Jian Yuan is crazily occupying the piano. He can only squeeze Jian Yuan to let him teach himself to play the piano when he gets up in the morning. The piano I bought doesn't take more than an hour at most, and I can only practice such a piece in a month.
"I've only practiced this one these days." Gu Yunkai said hesitantly, "Did I play it badly?"
He has an elegant figure, good manners, and is wearing the costumes needed for filming. His expression is polite and a bit rigorous. Sitting in front of the piano, he looks like a gentleman who is going to a banquet or a musician for a performance. "Little Star" is indeed a classic song, but because of the familiarity of this classic, it is even more funny in this situation.
"You played it very well." Alyssa shook her head and said, "But can you change a piece, which is more...um, more sunny and snowy, or higher and lower?"
Gu Yunkai was a little dumbfounded. He remembered that when he was sitting next to Jian Yuan, the other person's hand was on his palm, fingertips overlapped, and he pressed the keys one by one, and the intermittently extended music could still be heard. After hearing the original tune, he was also amused by the tune, but Jian Yuan's expression at that time was very serious.
So Gu Yunkai asked him with some embarrassment: Do I have no taste for appreciation.
He knows that many classics are always familiar to people because they are spread too much, and their value sometimes decreases accordingly. Many works are spoofs and even jokes.People will not necessarily deny its success, but as time goes by, it will become old-fashioned and old-fashioned, and it will no longer be so tall.
Songs like "Little Star" were added lyrics and became popular nursery rhymes, so Gu Yun couldn't help laughing when he started school, but he also checked the relevant information and knew that the variation itself was not Simple, so more or less uneasy.
In the field of music, Gu Yunkai is really ignorant. If Jian Yuan has climbed to the top, then Gu Yunkai is probably a small potato that has not even sprouted in the soil.
Jian Yuan just smiled sincerely at that time, and asked Gu Yunkai if he didn't like this song very much.
That's actually not true, Gu Yunkai just wants to play those piano pieces that sound elegant and compelling, even if it's Shao Li's capital.It’s just that many pieces require skill. In the end, in order not to cause trouble for Jian Yuan, Gu Yunkai still felt that playing "Little Star" was enough, so he shook his head and denied it at the time: "It's just because it's too familiar, you can continue."
Then Jian Yuan held his hand, with innocent smiles on his face, the hands of the two danced on those piano keys, and then Jian Yuan completely wrapped him in his arms, resting his chin on Gu Yunkai's Shoulders, fingers together, legs sticking together, embraced Gu Yunkai and said meekly and calmly: "What's so tasteless about this? To tell you the truth, whether it's kitsch or elegant, there's really nothing to laugh at or In the self-righteous place, music is said to be art, but in fact it is nothing more than something to express one's own ideas. How can there be so many rules and regulations? There are always people who like it and others belittle it. Even if a good work lasts forever, not everyone may like it. You Just choose the ones you like."
This is the first time Gu Yunkai heard Jian Yuan talk about his thoughts on music, and he couldn't help feeling very strange.
He knew that Jian Yuan had always been a person with connotation and pursuit, and he was from a musical family, so he should be the kind of person with elegant taste and appreciation of spring and snow; but he didn't expect Jian Yuan to say such words, listen to him I mean, I don't seem to dislike those pop music.
For a long time, Gu Yunkai knew that he loved Jian Yuan very much, but the more he discovered the various traces left by Jian Yuan on the road of music, the more he felt that he was deeply involved.
The shining points on this young man were far more than what he had seen before. It was as if he thought the earth was already a miracle. He didn't realize it until he went into space, saw the vast stars, and was shocked by this existence. How shallow your own thoughts are.You can only see the leopard in the tube, but the more Gu Yunkai understands Jian Yuan, the more he feels that he knows very little about Jian Yuan.
"I have another song, but I can only play a few simple bars. If you don't mind, then I can change it?" Gu Yunkai subconsciously asked.
Naturally, the crew has no objection. Listening to music is better than listening to the noise of strumming. If Gu Yunkai really can't play anything else, they can also listen to "Little Star" to start the official shooting, but it may be hard for Alisa to get familiar with it. The children's song has entered the state.Only then did Smith pinch the camera and start shooting again, presumably planning to use this NG as a souvenir.He took another piece of cranberry biscuit and stuffed it into his mouth, signaling for the scene to start shooting, his expression became much gentler unconsciously.
Although both Smith and Stephen knew that Lancer was a bit malicious, the guy always ran to them to show off after being deflated by others.But at the very beginning, Smith really didn't pay much attention to the character of Gu Yunkai. It wasn't until Jian Yuan exposed his pursuit of stars that Smith began to have a little impression of this actor.
But when you think about it, there is nothing wrong with it. Lancer is not an aimless person. Stephen has been in the circle for so long, and his face has long been tempered. Naturally, he is not someone who will not save face just because of an old friend's introduction. , Smith should have realized.
After confirming the cooperation, whether it was out of support for old friends or curiosity about the actors he was about to cooperate with, Smith deliberately watched "League of Agents". Gu Yunkai is not outstanding, but he can be called for excellent.
For the God of Reaper, who is a role that can almost be said to be a temporary rescue, Gu Yunkai's high degree of completion is indeed enough to prove that his ability should not be underestimated.It also takes time for an actor to interpret a role. It takes time for an actor to be as talented as Sharp. Smith has only met him since he entered the industry for so many years. Moisture, not to mention that many actresses and actresses have endured a lot of hardships in private, working hard to figure out their roles and putting forward their own ideas, in exchange for recognition on the screen again and again.
As for the so-called celebrity actors who are busy bragging in the announcement, there are too many to list.
This is the decline of the entertainment industry. No one understands these operations better than Smith. Many commercial films he produced are actually assembly line projects and his own director ability, which has created one successful word of mouth and excellent works after another. Now Celebrities are also slowly turning into products on the assembly line, and people's tolerance is slowly being squeezed and lowered, and they will no longer be as harsh as they were back then.
Smith shoots independent films, in addition to his own dreams, he also does not want to be corrupted by the circle.
Gu Yunkai's performance was indeed not perfect, but under such prerequisites, it was really impeccable.
Stephen is a real Virgo, if Gu Yunkai's behavior is not in line with his idea of death, then even if this role is cut off, Gu Yunkai will definitely be replaced.
Whenever a person likes it, as long as the other party doesn't show too much contrast, he will naturally like it more and more. The same is true for Smith for Gu Yunkai.He is not a talented director himself, and he has taken two different paths from a talented director like Stephen. Of course, he appreciates a serious and hardworking actor like Gu Yunkai more-on the contrary, Stephen is I prefer Sharpe, but Smith thinks Sharpe is too jumpy.
Presumably the brainwaves of geniuses are always different.
And the shooting on the set has progressed for a little while, and Smith has been staring at the monitor to make sure that he gets the picture he wants.
"You're not angry at all?"
Kelly's voice was a bit sharp, she blushed, and looked at Roman sitting on the piano bench incomprehensibly, the other's empty eyes fell on nothingness with no expression.This sad little person, this ridiculous narcissist, he was so unmoved that he couldn't even turn his face to her.
She was almost taken aback by her own thoughts, although Kelly was indeed a mediocre woman - she herself admitted that she was uncertain and vain; but she was not a vicious woman, and she rarely cursed and abused others.A look of shame quickly appeared on Kelly's face, and that bit of kindness emerged again. She knew Roman's flaws, and this was the last thing she should attack this man.
Although Roman didn't know anything, Kelly still apologized in her heart.
The other party was much calmer and kinder than Kelly thought. His hands fell on the cold keys, and he moved his body along with the sound, but he was still leaning slightly, so Kelly changed her position so that The two of them faced each other and knelt down, looking up at the man who had conquered the kingdom of her heart with music.
She had just let her vanity consume her, and she felt nameless anger at the fact that Roman wasn't even jealous of her new boyfriend, and that her confidence in her charms had been thwarted so that Kelly was on the verge of saying nasty words, but she Still restrained.
"Don't be like this, Roman." Kelly held the musician's hand and said softly, "You don't have to hide your emotions, I'm sincerely guilty of this, but you should understand..."
She still couldn't believe that Roman was really unmoved.
No matter whether a man or a woman, once he falls into blind confidence in his own charm, he becomes irrational.
"Kelly." The musician said softly, his voice was hoarse and indifferent, "I love you more than myself, your company is already a blessing to me, what more can I ask for? Please believe me, I There's no hiding anything. I'm not a wise man, I'm not a learned man, I'm well aware that I'm a boring creature, and I know that the music I'm most proud of is worth nothing to you , if you choose someone better, I can't blame you."
Alisa was filled with sadness almost from the bottom of her heart. She stared blankly at Gu Yunkai. The other party imitated the blind man's imitation vividly. His eyes were empty, as if he could not fall on anything. He belittled himself so gently. , like doing a trivial thing, frankly and completely dissecting his heart to this vicious and despicable woman in front of him, without any reservations.
It almost broke Alicia's heart.
Kelly obviously also suddenly felt sympathy and pity. The part of her heart that longed for attention and love was satisfied, so she was in the mood to appreciate and care for others.Kelly may not be a good woman, but she might become a good mother in the future. She held Roman's hand tightly, and the kind of love and concern for innocent children gushed out from her heart. The other's considerate and docile personality succeeded It aroused the deepest apology and anxiety in her heart.
"But don't say that, Roman, you can't be better, you just..." She couldn't continue, her eyes fell on Roman's eyes, and the other party listened unconsciously, so Kelly hurriedly said Changed his mouth, "I really like your music, don't worry, I will still take care of you, nothing will change."
Roman gently stroked her cheek, his hand groped and landed on Kelly's charming face, and then groped to trap her cheek with his palm, his expression was neither mean nor cold, just a gentle blessing: "Kelly, if he is willing to marry you, you will be truly happy, and then I will be too."
Kelly, who thought this was over, hugged him ecstatically.
Didn't notice Roman's worried and rational expression.
She never realized that Roman "seeed" through the selfish and weak nature of her and that lover earlier than she thought, and at this moment Kelly was still immersed in the happiness of being understood and forgiven.
The author has something to say: the idea of writing this chapter, Xiaoyuan’s words are actually inspired by the allusions of Mencius, a common saying that everyone knows: it is better to be alone than to be happy.
It probably goes like this. Mencius asked King Xuan about his hobby of music. King Xuan's face changed when he heard about it, and he said that I don't like elegant music, but vulgar music. (I think King Xuan's expression changed when he heard it, and we can see that everyone is actually the same. They like the diss popular music of gala music)
Mencius said: Ancient music is similar to modern music.
Then it means that the music alone is not as good as the music of the crowd. Mencius actually said that it is the way to govern the country. When you tell King Xuan that you like music, the people will also rejoice with you. The people live in poverty, and denounce King Xuan for being extravagant and licentious, that is a kind of solitude [probably so, I don’t want to explain in detail]
In fact, it has nothing to do with the concept of music, but I think Mencius's attitude is very interesting. He said that elegance and vulgarity are similar. I thought about it and derived a concept from it, that is, the distinction between elegance and vulgarity. Listening to music is meant to be fun. To be honest, you can’t have enough food and clothing. Everyone’s aesthetics are different. You don’t have to ask others to be the same as you, and you don’t have to deliberately belittle other people’s taste [Of course, that’s what I said, but I still want DISS Take a look at Qianlong’s farmhouse aesthetics╭(╯^╰)╮】
Then I read the reply in the last chapter and said that the first few chapters were a bit procrastinated and repetitive, and some directly said that I passed a chapter.
I don’t know if it’s because the readers and the author think differently, or what, in fact, it’s just like what this chapter says
Yun Kai observes Xiao Yuan in order to play a musician, and discovers more different aspects of Jian Yuan, which is also perfecting Jian Yuan's own shaping, and work is interspersed with love.
As I said, my writing control can only go so far. The plot rhythm can be fast or just right, or slow. I'm really not very strong on this concept. I can only say that I write myself What I wanted to write today, I wrote what I felt was necessary to write.
I would like to apologize to the readers who felt disappointed and procrastinated after reading the new chapter, because it is always difficult to balance, like Xiaoyuan who does not appear on the stage to create a weak character, but when he appears, he feels too much, too procrastinating; those who want to watch career do not want to read the love line , Those who want to watch the love line feel that there are too many careers. I can't satisfy everyone's ideas. I can only hope that everyone can enjoy watching it as much as possible.
Anyway, sorry, my ability is limited.
