~7 min read 1,380 words

On the tenth day, Cao Yang met Hou Keming in his office, Cao Yang also gave him some local specialties, he gave Cao Yang a box of black tea, saying it was Qimen Black Tea's Tian Zhi Hong, and said this tea tastes very good, let Cao Yang taste it.

After chatting for a while, they talked about work.

"Let Yang Qian help you this time, how about it?" Hou Keming consulted Cao Yang's opinion.

Cao Yang still remembered Yang Qian, last time when editing "3-Iron," he came to help.

This is a person with ideas, but can suppress his own ideas, actively cooperate, is a good candidate.

"No problem, as long as Teacher Yang is willing, I am quite welcome."

Hou Keming knew that this was decided.

As for whether Yang Qian would be willing, nonsense, ever since "3-Iron" won the Golden Lion, Yang Qian, as one of the editors, suddenly increased his fame, took a lot of private work outside, and was very popular.

Taking private work, as long as it doesn't delay the work of the Youth Film Studio, Hou Keming just closes one eye and opens one eye. The Youth Film Studio has only a few films a year, relying on that little dead salary, can't keep people.

In this era, working in state-owned enterprises and taking private work outside is quite common.

"That's good, I will find a few junior and senior students to help you, do some hard work."

Now this work of miscellaneous work is one of the features that Beijing Film Academy is more sought after, for students who are about to graduate, having helped a Golden Lion director is also a very important resume.

"Can."

"Is there anything else the school needs to do?" Hou Keming asked.

"I need a symphony orchestra and a choir to record a version of The Internationale as an interlude for the film."

Cao Yang originally planned to find a rock singer to record a version of The Internationale, selecting the segment: There has never been any savior, nor rely on god emperors. To create human happiness, it all depends on ourselves...

Use this segment to replace the hymn in the church.

But thinking about it, wanting to be shocking, a symphony orchestra with a choir singing is the real shock, much stronger than a rock singer's expressive power.

And asking a domestic symphony orchestra and choir costs a few money, it is estimated to be cheaper than asking a first-line rock singer to sing.

In this era, the salary of the chief of the national symphony orchestra is 2700 a month, which was said by the head of the Philharmonic Orchestra in a later interview.

"No problem, the most famous symphony orchestras in the country now are the China Symphony Orchestra, the Beijing Symphony Orchestra, and the China Philharmonic Orchestra established on the basis of the China Radio Symphony Orchestra in 2000, they all have choirs under their jurisdiction, which one do you want to invite?"

Hou Keming didn't hesitate, all of them were national symphony orchestras, it seemed that other ordinary symphony orchestras couldn't be seen.

Is it a bit of a waste of talent?

Cao Yang was only hesitant for a moment, then opened his mouth: "The school will look at it, record the 1939 Xiao San translation version, I only have one requirement, record it before I finish editing."

"No problem."

Hou Keming nodded, quite confident.

For these national symphony orchestras, the usual practice pieces must have The Internationale, maybe they don't even need to rehearse, they can record it in an afternoon.

Hou Keming knew Cao Yang's habit, Yang Qian and the four students who helped were notified before the New Year, just waiting for Cao Yang to determine, he could make people arrive in time.

Therefore, Cao Yang always felt that cooperating with Hou Keming was a very comfortable thing, his logistics work was very in place, saving Cao Yang a lot of trouble.

The next day, Yang Qian and the four students came to report, Cao Yang didn't immediately invest in post-editing work, but first had a meal with a few people, gave each person a red envelope for starting work, for good luck, before starting work.

Editing is to read all the shot materials repeatedly, and then carefully delete and stick them. Although editing with Cao Yang is very easy, almost no need to make up his own mind, but Yang Qian upheld a serious and responsible attitude, and still watched all the materials many times.

Following this, he discovered a problem—the shots of the female lead re-shooting were pitifully few.

And, because the female lead's screen time was too large this time, this problem became more prominent.

Actually, when editing with Cao Yang last time for "3-Iron," he also discovered this problem.

It was just that not only Yu Feihong performed well at that time, he thought Yu Feihong was brought into the character by a good actor, and then had such a good performance.

But this time it was obviously different, looking at all the materials, if he didn't know who the female lead was in advance, just looking at the number of her shots, compared to the materials of other directors, it was estimated that even the shots of a female supporting role were more than her.

Yang Qian had been in this line for so many years, there was only one explanation for this phenomenon, that is, most of the shots of this female actor were in one take! At most, keep one more take.

It was really incredible.

If other directors did this, it could basically be determined that the director was perfunctory, but this was the film of the youngest big director in the country, how could he smash his own brand.

Moreover, through reading the lens, Yang Qian discovered that this female actor's interpretation of the role, or the restraint and explosion of emotions, was absolutely not worse than Li Xiaoran!

"Director Cao, who is this female actor, haven't heard of it before, from the Central Academy of Drama?"

!

Yang Qian asked tentatively, he would rather believe that the Central Academy of Drama had produced another big Qingyi, than dare to believe that this acting skill was trained.

If it was, that would be too amazing, this was more amazing than Cao Yang winning the Golden Bear or Golden Palm again.

With this acting skill of the female actor, if she couldn't win the film queen, Yang Qian dared to spray absolutely black curtain in front of the media.

"Oh, called Gao Yuanyuan, not from a professional college, seems to be debuted by shooting advertisements."

Cao Yang was busy with the work at hand, while saying casually: "She has a mature styling in the film, you might not see it, she has a very popular advertisement, that is the Clear Mouth girl."

"Ah?"

Yang Qian opened his mouth, not knowing how to express it for a while, he knew the "kissing" girl, but she could have this acting skill?

Have to be convinced!

Yang Qian couldn't help but sigh, no wonder it was spread outside that the three big directors in the country had their own characteristics.

Zhang Yimou's vision, Chen Kaige's humanities, and Cao Yang's actors, or Cao Yang's women, but saying this easily caused ambiguity, so it became Cao Yang's actors.

Because looking at the two films Cao Yang had already released, their main theme was all from the perspective of women, shooting all female-themed films.

He helped Li Xiaoran and Yu Feihong win the three big film queens, so it became Cao Yang's good at shooting women, referred to as Cao Yang's women, which became one of Cao Yang's major signs.

After completing the editing, the rest was music dubbing synthesis, and the final master processing.

As early as when the editing was not halfway through, Hou Keming completed the things Cao Yang handed to him.

Used the China Philharmonic Orchestra and its choir.

Why use this?

It's not to say that the China Philharmonic Orchestra is better than the other two, mainly because the China Philharmonic Orchestra is directly under the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

Hmm, a system, no problem.
