Chapter 107 I'll Pay the Fee
Yang Ye's film editing work is very easy because he has ready-made movies as reference and almost never shoots useless material.
For every scene, just choose the best one from the same shots.
This fact makes Hu Jinquan admire him very much, because even if Hu Jinquan has a detailed shot script in advance, he will still end up shooting a lot of useless material.
He could only pick and choose from a lot of materials, reluctant to delete this part, and reluctant to cut that part. The final result was that the length of "The Heroine" was three hours.
The duration of a movie these days is generally only about eighty minutes. If you give it three hours, who has the patience to watch it? It is reasonable to rush into the street.
Hu Jinquan, adhering to the spirit of "When three people are together, one must have my teacher" asked Yang Ye for advice: "Why can you control the plot direction of a movie so accurately and roughly calculate the plot of the movie before filming starts? How long?”
Yang Ye smiled and said, “How about we play a game of chess?”
The two found a chess game. After setting it up, Yang Ye said, “Yinyin, put your Give me the silk scarf!”
Then he covered his eyes with Hu Yinmeng’s silk scarf.
Hu Jinquan was shocked: "You are playing blind chess?"
Yang Ye nodded and said, "Yinyin, come and help me play, three is a draw and five is a draw."
Hu Yinmeng listened and helped. Yang Yefei made a look.
Hu Jinquan also had some accomplishments in chess. He said to himself that I don’t believe you can beat me blindfolded, so he said: “Bishop 3 draws 5.” He also flew a bishop.
Yang Ye said without thinking: "Three soldiers advance to one."
Hu Jinquan said: "I will follow, and the pawn will advance to 1 from 3."
Yang Ye smiled and said: "If you keep following, you will lose. The horse will advance from 2 to 3."
Hu Jinquan followed three steps , no longer follow. Yang Ye jumped on a horse again, and he got on a knight.
The two of them reached the twenty-third move, and Yang Ye was a bad horse, general.
Hu Jinquan exclaimed "f*ck" and admitted defeat.
Hu Jinquan threw the chess pieces on the chessboard and said: "I understand, we mortals cannot compete with gods like you."
Yang Ye can understand the entire chess game without looking at the chessboard. I think it's possible to plan the entire movie in your mind before shooting.
And the facts prove that he did it.
At the meeting of Baiyang Pictures, Yang Ye said: "Time is tight. Let's divide the work and cooperate. I will bring people to handle the wire marks and yellow screen coverings.
Old Hu, you Lead a team to edit the pornographic film carefully, check for omissions and fill in the gaps, and avoid bugs
Yo-Yo Ma is coming to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow. Sister Meng, please pick him up personally and don’t neglect him.
Teng Lijun will also come to Hong Kong to record the theme song in the past few days. Ah Feng, you are responsible for entertaining her.
Also, you two will be responsible for proofreading the Chinese and English subtitles of the movie, Ah Hua and Yin Yin. ”
The soundtrack of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was composed by Tan Dun, a mainland composer living in the United States. The internationally renowned Chinese cellist Yo-Yo Ma serves as the lead performer. Li Wen, who is compatible with Eastern and Western pop culture, is responsible for singing the theme in Chinese and English.
If Tan Dun were to sing the song "ALoveBeforeTime", Yang Ye would not invite him. Tan Dun is only a teenager now and may not be able to complete the soundtrack for the movie, so Yang Ye would just copy it. br>
Yo-Yo Ma became famous in 1971 when he performed a cello recital at Carnegie Hall in New York that astonished everyone. Now he is an internationally renowned cellist.
Yang Ye invited him as early as a month ago. Now Yang Ye is also an internationally renowned filmmaker. He can score music for Yang Ye's movies, and Yo-Yo Ma happily agreed.
As for the song "Moonlight Lover", it's a bit troublesome. There is no such thing as Li Wen in the Chinese music scene who is compatible with Chinese and Western singers. Yang Ye has no choice but to call Lijun Deng back to try.
Don’t let the rich water flow to outsiders’ fields, just make do with it.
Everyone nodded, and Yang Ye said again: "Lao Hu, you used Peking Opera ideas to accompany the martial arts and chases in "Dragon Gate Inn". You used gongs, drums, and bangban to match the characters' eyes, gestures, running and jumping, It's very creative. I plan to use this method in several battles between Yu Jiaolong and Yu Xiulian. Please cooperate with Wu Dajiang on this matter. In addition, I also invited Wu Dajiang's symphony orchestra to cooperate with Yo-Yo Ma. Sister Meng, you should be responsible for the coordination between them!”
Wu Dajiang is a musical genius who spans the Chinese music circles in Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and is a founding figure in the symphonicization of Chinese music. He has scored hundreds of films and is Hu Jinquan’s best friend and partner.
In order for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to land in North America this year, all matters must be resolved within a month.
After the explanation was completed, everyone went about their business.
Not long ago, Yo-Yo Ma and Teresa Teng arrived in Hong Kong one after another. Xia Meng took Yo-Yo Ma to the Peninsula Hotel to settle down, while Teresa Teng stayed at Yang Ye's house.
The next day, Yang Ye, Hu Jinquan, and Xia Meng jointly hosted a dinner for Yo-Yo Ma, Wu Dajiang, Teresa Teng, and Zheng Donghan. During the dinner, they solemnly handed over the film soundtrack and theme song to them.
More than twenty days later, all post-processing of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was completed. Hu Jinquan, Yo-Yo Ma, Wu Dajiang and others all completed their tasks brilliantly.
It is the theme song that Lijun Deng and Zheng Donghan are responsible for. Yang Ye sounds a bit weird, although in order to fit the temperament of this song, Lijun Deng deliberately changed her vocal method to sing it.
Maybe it’s because Yang Ye is used to listening to Li Wen’s version.
However, Li Wen is still a baby now.
The baby...her legs?
...
Yang Ye and Xu Feng brought some gifts and walked into a hospital under the guidance of Chen Long.
"Akui, Young Master Yang and Sister Feng are here to see you."
Yuan Kui was lying on the hospital bed with a plaster on his feet.
When I was doing martial arts a few days ago, I jumped from a high place and landed unstable, causing a slight fracture.
"Young Master Yang, Sister Feng!" Yuan Kui struggled to stand up.
"Don't move, don't move! Take good care of your injuries." Yang Ye put down the gift and said to Chen Long: "Aaron, the brothers were injured during filming. You must use the best treatment methods. Don't be afraid. Spend money."
Chen Long said: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, this hospital specializes in orthopedics and is very famous in Hong Kong. We all come here to treat injuries, including myself. I've been here several times."
Speaking of injuries during filming, Yang Ye also shoots action scenes. He has almost never been injured, and even if he has been, they are minor injuries.
Because with Shenwei's precise calculations, he can avoid danger to the greatest extent possible.
"If you practice the training methods I teach you more, you should be able to avoid unnecessary injuries. You see, I also shoot action scenes, so I rarely get injured!"
"I I practice every day, and it really works.”
Yang Ye and others were standing in front of Yuan Kui’s bed, chatting, when a young man in the bed next door suddenly said: “Are you Mr. Yang?”
Yang Ye turned his head and said with a smile: "Yes!"
The young man exclaimed again: "Wow, you are Chen Long, you are Xu Feng. Can you sign your name for me?"
"Yes!" Yang Ye said, taking out one Pen, asked: "Where to sign?"
The boy patted his leg in plaster and said: "Sign here!"
Yang Ye signed on his leg in plaster He gave me a name and asked: "How did you do it?"
"Skating!" The boy said nonchalantly.
Next, Chen Long and Xu Feng also signed their names on his plaster leg. The young man was very happy.
Yang Ye said to Chen Long: "Since you often come here to treat injuries, why don't I donate a sum of money to this hospital."
"That would be too expensive!"
"It's okay, this way the hospital will treat the brothers better."
As he said this, Yang Ye ran to the dean and said that he wanted to donate a batch of equipment to the hospital. Of course, the dean was more than willing to ask for it. , and such a good thing?
Yang Ye readily donated two million to the hospital to purchase a batch of medical equipment. Then, the dean took Yang Ye on a tour of the hospital with a cheerful smile, and even took him to visit the patients.
To express condolences to the patients, Young Master Yang Ye had to give some gifts to the patients.
After moving around several wards, Shenwei finally scanned the person Yang Ye was looking for.
Yang Ye walked to the hospital bed of a two or three-year-old baby and asked: "Why is she hospitalized at such a young age?"
The baby's mother said: "My daughter's She has a congenital disability in her left leg, and she can’t walk. The doctor said she needs surgery to correct her bones.”
Yang Ye asked the dean: "Is the success rate of this operation high?"
The dean asked someone to take a look at the little girl's medical record and said: "About 50%."
"Is there a way to go higher?"
The director said: "Our hospital has limited conditions. If we can send it to the top hospital in the United States, the success rate should be increased by 30%."
< br>Yang Ye found that the little baby was looking at him curiously, with two bright black eyes, and asked with a smile: "Baby, what is your name?"
"My name is Li Meilin!" She said in a sweet voice, and then asked: "Uncle, what's your name?"
Yang Ye was happy, this little guy is not afraid of life at all.
It seems that people like them have a natural desire to perform, so they will have the opportunity to become big stars in the future.
"My name is Yang Ye, please remember!"
"Yang Ye, mother, his name is Yang Ye."
"You're not polite, call me uncle!" Mother Li scolded, and then said to Yang Ye: "Young Master Yang, don't mind, the child is young and not sensible."
Yang Ye smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, she Very smart and very likable. Where is her father? "
"My husband has passed away due to illness."
"Oh, I'm sorry." It doesn’t matter, it’s been several years.”
"The director just said that the success rate of Merrill Lynch's surgery is less than 50%. I think. If possible, why not send her to the United States for treatment?"
Mama Li said helplessly: "The top hospitals in the United States are not expensive. I can afford it."
Yang Ye said: "Now that we have met, it is a kind of fate. What I mean by mentioning this is that I will pay for the treatment."
Mother Li was shocked, is there such a good thing?
In the original time and space, Li Meilin's operation failed. She relied on her right leg to support her whole body, learned to walk, and began to learn to dance.
Many years later, relying on her tenacious perseverance, she grew into a generation of queens in the Chinese music scene. She is Li Wen.
Yang Ye came to the hospital just to find Li Wen. In order to prevent others from noticing that he came to see her deliberately, he accompanied the director for a half-day show and donated a sum of money to help the hospital purchase equipment.
Of course, donating this money is not wasted money. My martial arts practice usually treats injuries here. It is necessary to have a good relationship with the hospital. Even if it is not to find Li Wen, Yang Ye will donate it. .
Li Wen sang on the world stage on one leg. She was a warrior, but she died in frustration in the end.
Yang Ye felt that when he came to this world, he could change some things and avoid some tragedies.
This is not only a good deed, but also a great benefit to yourself.
For example, Li Wen, if Yang Ye helps her today, she will gain a singing queen the next day, which is a huge profit!
