522 Guangling Powder

From Liang Chaowei's playing the piano, Qin Yu knew that today's shooting would probably be a bit difficult.

Qin Yu spent more than a week learning to play the piano for this piano fight.

Although the Chinese guqin also has seven strings, the guqin score and playing method are not marked according to Western instruments, using "Do, La, Mi, Fa, So, La, Xi" as the mark. The guqin uses the unique Chinese "reducing character score". This is a music score recording method invented by Cao Rou in the Tang Dynasty, and is also called "position score". Even if you don't understand music theory, as long as you have good memory and remember the position marked in the music score, you can play beautiful guqin music according to the unique "scattered, broad, press" technique of the guqin.

Qin Yu relies on his super memory to remember the music score of "Guangling San" and can play it as long as he masters the techniques. Although he cannot "play it thoroughly" like Professor Lin, who taught him to play the piano, it should be more than enough for the performance of this film shooting.

Regarding the shooting of this scene, Wu Yushen used his best-known method of showdown between the two heroes. He used to often use it in "The True Color of Heroes", "The Worlds" and "The Change of Face". He would use three cameras, one to shoot panoramic views, and the other two to face the two protagonists from two different angles. The angle of the camera represents the role's position at this time. Looking up slightly at Zhou Yu means that he controls the overall situation, is at a strong point, and is shooting Zhuge Liang sitting at a downward angle, which means that he is in need and at a disadvantage at this time.

This shooting technique is a manifestation of camera language, and it also needs to be coordinated with the actor's expression. The central point of the two cameras is on the actor's face, which can better express the inner self by capturing the character's expression.

However, in this scene, Liang Chaowei's movements were very natural and his expression was quite appropriate, but the sound from the guqin was extremely harsh.

"Buzz... sting..." It sounded like the saw was stuck in the middle of the wood, and the sound of pulling back and forth was heard.

"Director, my fault is just distracted." Qin Yu was stunned when he heard this harsh voice. Just as the camera was facing him, he had to raise his hand to signal that he had made a mistake.

The sound of the piano in this scene will be based on the later soundtrack. Qin Yu and Liang Chaowei only need to make movements and cooperate. However, such a harsh sound still caused Qin Yu, who was unprepared, to crash one after another.

"Red Cliff, Scene 24, Act 3, Fourth Mirror, Action..."

Re-shooting, Zhou Yu, played by Liang Chaowei, re-entered: "Zi Jing, I'm very happy today, I won't talk about business..."

"Since Brother Zhuge understands music, why not play a song with me..."

"I just understand a little..."

"No, you don't understand it slightly, but you're hiding it."

After saying that, Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang with a scrutiny. For Zhou Yu at this time, although he was in charge of the war, he also had to see the current situation clearly. He needed to figure out what Zhuge Liang's attitude was, who came on behalf of Liu Bei. If Liu Bei just wanted to survive with the help of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu would not mind giving him to Cao Cao. If Liu Bei really wanted to resist Cao, then he had to determine the primary and secondary.

After arranging the maid to present the guqin to Zhuge Liang, Qin Yu sat upright, stroking his hands on it, condensing his energy and thinking deeply. At this time, Qin Yu showed respect but steadyness. After all, he came on behalf of Liu Bei and could not be looked down upon.

The performance continued, and Liang Chaowei was still playing it first this time. Qin Yu was prepared this time. Even if Liang Chaowei's piano sound was harsh, he expressed his admiration. Zhuge Liang's sympathy for Zhou Yu's piano sound, which was revealed from his eyes. Then Qin Yu pressed his left hand and stroked the piano face with his right hand. The piano sounded in vain in the hall, and the piano sounded gentle but firm.

"Zheng...Zheng...buzz..."

"Click..."

The one who made the mistake this time was Liang Chaowei. Although he was ready to take on the role, he was still shocked by Qin Yu's piano sound. He never expected that Qin Yu would actually play the guqin.

If it was all noise, everyone would endure it and show it personally according to the previous play. However, the two of them played beautifully and harshly, and they were not on the same channel at all, which made the following people make mistakes. Whether it was Hou Yong or Song Ran, even Wu Yushen was affected by these two intertwined sounds.

In the end, the director decided to shoot according to the storyboard. Anyway, in addition to a few panoramic views, the plot of this section is full of close-ups of Liang Chaowei and Qin Yu's expressions. This requires the two actors to be familiar with the script and can perfectly show the characters' hearts without the cooperation of others.

This technique is not difficult for Liang Chaowei. After Wang Jiawei's tempering, he could use five or six expressions to express a long shot. It was Qin Yu's first time to come into contact with this shot and was eager to try it out.

In order to allow Qin Yu to have some insights, Wu Yushen chose to film Liang Chaowei's scenes first. A total of one and a half minutes of "Guangling San", Liang Chaowei perfectly demonstrated Zhou Yu's mentality at this time through it, from the initial disdain, doubt, and temptation, to the surprise after the two played, and finally to the mutual appreciation. He used the sound of the piano to indicate that I was willing to be an alliance with you.

It was Qin Yu's turn to shoot, Wu Yushen asked Lin Aner to invite Professor Lin and cooperate with Qin Yu outside the camera.

The Qin is the voice of his heart, and Zhuge Liang, played by Qin Yu, also perfectly showed his mentality at this moment. He also first tried carefully, and his eyes were mixed with admiration for Zhou Yu. This is the setting of Zhuge Liang's character in this play. Zhuge Liang belonged to Zhou Yu's little fan. Then Zhuge Liang expressed his purpose this time through the sound of the piano, and combined with his eyes showing his weakness, he showed an attitude of following Dong Wu. As long as Dong Wu resisted Cao, Liu Bei's power would definitely follow him, and he said that Zhou Yu's determination to win in this battle. Finally, it represented the sound of Zhou Yu's piano changed, and Zhuge Liang's ensemble also followed in time, and his eyes also showed surprise, and he felt like he found a confidant.

As the emotions merged, even Professor Lin, who played on behalf of Zhou Yu, was infected. The movements in the hands of the two became faster and faster, and the sound of the piano became more and more intense. Their ensemble even alarmed the entire crew. Some staff members who were originally outside the venue also watched and stood outside the hall to watch.

Because Qin Yu's learning and understanding ability are superior, he has relatively easy mastery of scripts and some etiquette training. This makes Lin Aner, the assistant director in charge of this matter, thinks that Qin Yu's attitude is a bit slack. In recent times, he has always complained about Qin Yu's arrogance next to Wu Yushen from time to time. In addition, Qin Yu's several proposals to modify the scripts, although what he said makes sense, it still causes complaints from the screenwriter team; and the recent incident of Qin Yu's lawsuit against "Aimu.com" has also been rumored to the outside world, which has also brought a lot of trouble to the personnel responsible for the public relations work of the crew.

Based on these, Qin Yu is not very popular among these Hong Kong and Taiwan staff in the crew of "Red Cliff". Even director Wu Yushen wanted to use such a scene to attack Qin Yu and make him lower-key. But he didn't expect that his own difficulties would become Qin Yu's highlight moment.

In modern times, many people can play the piano, but few can play the guqin. Moreover, "Guangling San" is one of the top ten guqin music that has been passed down for thousands of years in China. It has its unique charm. The clanging sound and mysterious tunes are overwhelming and floating into everyone's heart. After playing the song, Qin Yu closed his style and looked up slightly, looking at Zhou Yu, played by Liang Chaowei, with a smile on his lips. In the light shining through the hall, it is natural.

"OK, it's past..."

"Another song..." As Wu Yushen finished speaking, a voice sounded from the side. Wu Yushen turned to look behind him. Her assistant Lin Aner covered her mouth with a little embarrassed. As a Chinese American, she had never felt the charm of traditional Chinese musical instruments.

"Qin Yu, otherwise you and Professor Lin are coming?" Seeing everyone looking forward to it, Wu Yushen also agreed.

Qin Yu looked at Professor Lin, and the other party was also a little moved. Qin Yu suggested: "Professor Lin, otherwise we will change to the song "High Mountains and Flowing Water"..."
