Chapter 151 Instrumental Music "Peach Blossom Island"
The assistant director was furious. He took a breath and continued, "Why does she take on roles so tightly? Doesn't she even have a little breathing space?"
"She was playing tricks on me. I didn't know that the crew next door had already started filming a month in advance. She must have accepted the role recently.
She must have thought that I didn’t care about actors overlapping roles, and that if they overlapped roles too much, every director would be the same.” Director Wei said unhappily.
Tao Mimi didn't quite understand this, so she could only say, "Can we take a look at the soundtrack now?"
As soon as Tao Mimi mentioned the soundtrack, Director Wei's angry expression froze.
But he still remembered what Producer Qian said, that Xu Yanyu was just here for the occasion.
He hasn't figured out how to reject Xu Yanyu's request for music without affecting her filming.
He looked towards the door with a headache, really hoping that someone would come and pull him away.
Xu Yanyu also said: "Director Wei, I have prepared a lot of songs before, and I have opened my computer.
How about I play it for you first, and see if the song I prepared can meet your requirements. If you are not satisfied with anything, please tell me. "
Xu Yanyu picked up the laptop beside her and did not give Director Wei any chance to refuse.
Director Wei sighed, there was no way to escape.
But he couldn't take all of Xu Yanyu's songs, so he thought for a moment and replied, "I'm only missing two songs now. One is a pure musical accompaniment, to be used... to be used when Liu Jing and Yong Li meet."
"Hmm... let's play another song for when Yongli's plan to destroy the world fails."
Director Wei didn't dare to give the opening and ending songs, which were so important, to Xu Yanyu.
He thought about it and decided to let Xu Yanyu perform the secondary CP song and the interlude.
Xu Yanyu's hands typing on the keyboard paused for a moment, and she knew what was going on.
She smiled and said, "Okay!"
After Xu Yanyu finished speaking, she closed the folder she had just opened and opened another one.
Fortunately, she was well prepared, so she was not worried about not being able to come up with other songs.
The assistant director looked at Director Wei. He also knew what Director Wei was thinking.
It's obvious that he doesn't trust Xu Yanyu.
He knew that the theme song and ending song had not been decided yet.
Director Wei glared at him and told him not to talk too much.
Tao Mimi didn't know the connection. She sat up straight and looked at Xu Yanyu excitedly, "I also want to hear what music you have prepared."
Xu Yanyu nodded, operated the touch panel of the notebook, and kept swiping down.
Finally, she clicked on the 63rd song in the folder - "Peach Blossom Island".
When the music first sounded, it was like the first ray of sunlight penetrating through the mist and gently brushing across the earth at dawn.
The melodious singing creates an atmosphere that is delicate and yet a little distant.
Tao Mimi looked at the computer with interest and thought the beginning was not bad.
Director Wei also loosened his grip on the water cup.
He tilted his head slightly, moving his ear closer to the computer.
This song sounds interesting!
This soundtrack didn't sound like the ones he'd received before, which were more petty.
The music Xu Yanyu is playing right now is a bit desolate and a bit sad...
If this happened when Yongli and Liu Jing first met, it would seem like it was foreshadowing their unfortunate fate.
To Yongli, Liu Jing's appearance was like the glimmer of light in the early morning, gentle and holy.
As the guzheng sounded, the flute also responded, the music became more vigorous and majestic, and then slowly soothed itself.
The sound of the guzheng's strings is gently plucked, like the gurgling of a stream, winding through the woods, bringing with it a hint of imperceptible freshness and joy.
Yes, that's the kind of secret joy.
Just like Yongli's mood all along, that kind of secret liking should be joyful and happy.
As the music progresses, with the addition of drum beats and pipa, the rhythm gradually becomes richer and more layered, as if a spring breeze is blowing and flowers are flying.
The petals all over the sky are spinning and falling in the air, creating a dreamy and slightly sad atmosphere.
What is expressed here is a feeling of regret.
Finally, the climax arrived.
Director Wei slammed the table and stood up. He shouted, "Yan Yu, turn up the volume a little, go back to the previous part and play it again!"
"No! Let me finish listening to this!" Tao Mimi stopped him.
This is the best place to listen to!
Then the music stopped abruptly!
Everyone looked at Xu Yanyu.
Director Wei asked, "I asked you to turn up the volume, not to turn down the music."
The assistant director kept his head down and didn't say anything.
Xu Yanyu looked at them and explained, "This soundtrack has ended."
"Is it over?" Tao Mimi said with a sigh.
Director Wei said in disbelief: "The climax is only a few minutes long? It's over?"
“Because it’s a song that carries regrets.”
After Xu Yanyu finished speaking, she sat quietly.
No matter how many times she listened to it, the soundtrack of The Legend of Sword and Fairy always made her feel palpitations.
She is always moved by the joys and sorrows, love and hate in the fairy sword.
Tao Mimi said at this time: "This piece of music is so great and amazing! My script is not worthy of this piece of music."
Yes, Tao Mimi felt that the song Xu Yanyu came up with was absolutely brilliant in concept.
What the song wants to express is more noble than what is in her script.
She heard the unrequited love, the aspiration to protect the people, and the entanglement of fate from the song...
She stood up suddenly, took out her script, and said to Director Wei, "The scenes of Liu Jing's character must be changed!
The image of this character is too thin. She shouldn't live just for Yongli. She can live for the common people, for the protection...
Only with this modification do I feel it is worthy of this song.
Although love is worth celebrating, if I only talk about love in the world of immortal heroes, it would make my script seem inadequate.”
Tao Mimi took out her pen and slowly muttered and scribbled, "Liu Jing should represent a kind of kindness, a continuation of a mission, and a kind of inheritance between heaven and earth...
Yongli represents a kind of destruction, a kind of cruelty that the world is merciless and all things are treated as straw dogs, so he needs to fight, and he fights all his life.
The two of them are like yin and yang, even if they must be entangled together, they can never merge together. "
Director Wei also rested one hand on the table and tapped the table rhythmically with the other hand.
He looked at Tao Mimi and said, "You have to change the script. The previous script was too petty. You have to make the character of Liu Jing more divine. Yes, you have to make her more compassionate.
There is no way to make major changes to the protagonist's role, but fortunately Liu Jing's role has not yet begun, so we can still start with Liu Jing."
Tao Mimi nodded and continued writing.
While thinking, she didn't care when her pen accidentally scratched her face.
She suddenly raised her head, then smiled and said to Xu Yanyu, "Yanyu, can you play the song you just played for me on repeat?
I feel very moved when I listen to it! As I listen to the revision, I feel that it will be even better.”
The corners of Xu Yanyu's mouth twitched, trying to remind Tao Mimi that there were pen marks on her face.
But when Xu Yanyu saw Tao Mimi busying herself in making changes again, she chose to shut up and turn the music back on.
The soul-stirring music sounded again, and the expression on Tao Mimi's face became increasingly heavy, as she buried her head in writing.
Director Wei also took out his cell phone with some melancholy.
Then he heard a slight sobbing sound.
Director Wei suddenly looked towards the source of the voice. It was his good assistant, the assistant director.
He pushed the assistant director and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
The assistant director twisted his body and said nothing.
But his silence only aroused Director Wei's curiosity.
Director Wei didn't even look at his phone and just kept staring at the assistant director.
The assistant director's neck probably felt sore, so he looked up and met Director Wei's eyes.
The assistant director is like the frightened baby bird, who is so scared that he buries his head back into the nest.
"Ah! Why are your eyes swollen from crying?"
For a moment, it was like a silver bottle suddenly leaking, and also like a huge wave...
Director Wei shouted too loudly, not only alarming the other two people, but also attracting the people who were busy at the door.
Everyone's gossipy eyes were cast towards the assistant director.
Xu Yanyu turned down the volume, moved the computer aside, and secretly glanced at the assistant director.
Tao Mimi's hand holding the pen paused at first, then she put down the pen without hesitation and looked at the assistant director.
"Who is crying? Why are they crying? Why are they crying?"
These three questions in a row represent Tao Mimi's persistent spirit of exploration and also express her deep concern for her colleagues.
The assistant director glared at Director Wei angrily, his eyes filled with shame and condemnation...
Director Wei touched his head and said embarrassedly: "I've never seen a grown man cry. I was a little too excited."
Seeing that the assistant director's glare at him didn't change, Director Wei added, "You know, I've always had a loud voice."
"What are you looking at? Go back and do your own thing!"
Director Wei drove away the people who came to watch the fun.
Everyone dispersed helplessly out of curiosity.
Xu Yanyu sat up straight, secretly turned down the volume even more, and pricked up her ears.
The assistant director then whispered, "I cried because I listened to that song. You know I am a sentimental person."
Director Wei was speechless. He rolled his eyes at the assistant director, "Are you so useless? This has been repeated for so many times, and you are still crying!"
"I just kept crying because I played it on repeat. I got goosebumps all over my body after the first playback.
Then my eye sockets felt sore and I felt my eyes moisten."
The assistant director looked at Director Wei with particular grievance.
Director Wei turned his head away and said unhappily, "Don't look at me with those tearful eyes. I'm not a handsome guy, and you're not a girl. Let's be pure."
Xu Yanyu turned down the volume a little more...
She turned and looked at Tao Mimi.
Tao Mimi is pretending to write.
But Xu Yanyu had already noticed that Tao Mimi was holding back a smile.
The assistant director was angry, “I didn’t… I was just a little sentimental.
This song really makes me want to cry, don’t you feel the same way? "
"I feel something! After hearing it, I want to change the script." Tao Mimi interrupted.
"I still have feelings for her, so I asked her to change the script again." Director Wei answered after careful consideration.
But the way he looked at the assistant director was still a little disdainful.
Xu Yanyu also said: "Everyone's reaction is different. Maybe your reaction is a little more intense."
The assistant director rolled his eyes at them and stopped dwelling on the topic.
He looked at Tao Mimi, "Writer Tao, have you finished the revision?"
Tao Mimi nodded and replied, "I've almost finished the revision. Let me show you."
Director Wei took her script, flipped through it, and said, "It's a good change, except that there are more scenes of Liu Jing. This character seems to be more likable than the female lead."
If it were in the past, Director Wei would definitely not like the supporting role to overshadow the main role, but since Zhang Ying had just done something stupid like overlapping roles, he didn't say anything more.
Director Wei threw the script to the assistant director who was leaning over to read it.
The assistant director turned the pages carefully and exclaimed as he read: "That's the feeling. Screenwriter Tao, you wrote down exactly how I feel when I listen to music."
"Your play will definitely be a hit. The script is so good. The concept is elevated to a higher level."
The assistant director was full of praise.
After reading it, he returned the script to Tao Mimi.
Tao Mimi handed the script to Xu Yanyu and said shyly, "Yanyu, can you help me take a look at this script? Is there anything else that needs to be changed?"
Before, Tao Mimi would not ask Xu Yanyu for her opinion, but when Xu Yanyu took out the song "Peach Blossom Island", she knew that Xu Yanyu was not simple.
Xu Yanyu has a great talent for artistic creation. Art is universal. Maybe Xu Yanyu can give some other suggestions.
Xu Yanyu took over the script from Tao Mimi.
She slowly turned the pages...
Wow, Liu Jing has a lot more shots.
But this character is really too outstanding, just as Director Wei said, he completely overshadows the female lead.
Xu Yanyu turned to the end and accidentally saw the ending of the script.
She turned to Tao Mimi and asked, "Was it because Yongli was outmatched by the hero and heroine in terms of martial arts, or was it because he lost the idea of destroying the world at the last moment?"
"Ah?" Tao Mimi was stunned for a moment.
Weren't they discussing Liu Jing's scenes? Why did they jump to the finale again?
Director Wei next to him also turned his head, wanting to hear what Xu Yanyu had to say.
Xu Yanyu pressed the book down on the table, flattened it, and then continued to explain, "If I were writing this script, and Yongli failed to destroy the world in the end, I would choose to let him give up destroying the world on his own.
Because the modified image of Liu Jing is a guardian, she guards everything she sees. Yongli must know what Liu Jing is thinking, so he failed to destroy the world in the end, but it was just because he still remembered what Liu Jing wanted.
So in this world, success is due to her, failure is due to her, and life and death are due to her... In the end, Yongli is actually also a guardian, but what he protects is what is in his heart."
Tao Mimi was suddenly speechless.
The movie "Peach Blossom Island" playing on the computer happened to be playing the last climax segment.
The assistant director couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid that the audience will send you razor blades if you change it like this?"
Too sharp!
It's even more sharp when paired with this song.
Xu Yanyu doesn't speak, this is called art, and the forms of artistic expression are diverse.
Art can be joy or sorrow.
Audiences won’t send razor blades.
And even if I could send it, it wouldn't reach where she lives.
