Full-text entertainment peak

Chapter 441
Lu Jiu and Da Liu led a group of stage managers to applaud the most fiercely, and several stage managers even whistled.

Zhao Daquan applauded along with the crowd without turning off the camera.

The position of the camera is very upright, and the captured images can be cut out as sideshows. At that time, whether it is for publicity or for the documentary team, it will be a good material.

Zou Shan's face turned red from Zhuanertai, he couldn't contain his excitement.

He knew that just by taking this long shot to the end, his documentary would become popular!

You know, in this day and age, there are not many people who can act well, and those who can act well and speak well are even rarer.

Needless to say, Xiao Xianrou has no acting skills, and most of the dialogue is polished by post-dubbing.

Even the lines of some old drama bones are hard to describe.

As for the actors who can perform monologues like Gao Shuang, there may be only a few actors in Huaxia, and they are all quite old.

Originally, Zou Shan thought that Gao Shuang's performance in such a literary film would be at odds with his nonsensical drama, but he didn't expect that he would be even better in a real drama!
It seems that after breaking away from the nonsensical comedy style, it made another breakthrough.

Zou Shan only felt that Gao Shuang was the most talented practitioner he had ever met in the entertainment circle so far!
"The high-level guide is awesome!"

"Enjoyed!"

"This line is better than Brother Lu!!!"

Gao Shuang smiled and waved his hands to the people around him: "Don't dare, brother Lu's skills are much more solid than mine, I just feel it, it's a stroke of genius!"

Gao Shuang is really not perfunctory when he said he felt it.

What is this monologue saying?
If you understand it from the surface, because this movie itself is an obviously untrue story, full of absurd colors, as long as ordinary people can see this:
First of all, it is impossible for someone to live on the ship forever and not go ashore, especially after the ship is scrapped, if the pianist does not get off the ship, what will he eat and drink?
The ships are dilapidated like this, how can 1900 still maintain a gentlemanly demeanor?

There is no explanation in these movies!
Is this a problem with script logic?

of course not!

Gao Shuang had no way of answering it at first, until through the monologue performance just now, he felt a deeper metaphor!
1900 is actually an allusion to reality born out of absurdity!

Therefore, we cannot judge the male protagonist's motives from the perspective of normal people.

"Sea Pianist" is actually a metaphor for that era of wandering and turmoil, and expresses a kind of grief:
The rejection of capitalist civilization, the pursuit and yearning for simplicity, freedom, and literary life.

However, the ferry of the times will never stop for anyone.

Therefore, the old passenger ship was finally detonated, and the pianist and his ideal world were finally turned into dust and sank into the boundless sea.

Gao Shuang happened to experience the crossing of two worlds, originating from absurdity, reflection and reality!

If anyone in this world can describe 1900 thoroughly, it must be him!
"Director Gao, I'm sorry for disappointing you."

Wu Hao walked up to Gao Shuang hesitantly, and said angrily.

Gao Shuang patted him on the shoulder, and said, "How can such a long scene be over at once, this time is considered a warm-up, and there are still many steps ahead."

Wu Hao only thought it was Gao Shuang who was comforting him, but he still felt uncomfortable.

Gao Shuang greeted everyone in the crew: "Come on! Let's go one more way, this time to Wu Hao's shoulder position."

Such a long monologue can't be used in one shot. At most, less than one-fifth of the content captured just now can be used.

All the other front and back shots had to be reshot, and there were also close-ups of the two people in various positions.

If there are no major mistakes, there will be at least a dozen more.

During the second shooting, Wu Hao's emotions were obviously much deeper.

After being NG twice, finally, driven by Gao Shuang, he showed MAX's emotions.

The repeated shooting of various camera positions in the back also made the two of them more involved, and the effect was better and better every time.

As the evening approached, all the shots used in this scene were almost shot.

Waiting to go back to look at the copy at night, the rough cut is fine and the scene is over.

……

As soon as work was over, Da Liu came to find Gao Shuang.

Da Liu stood at the door of the dressing room, and said to Gao Shuang who was taking off his makeup: "Director Gao, the things you shipped are here!"

"It was shipped so soon?"

Gao Shuang turned his head in surprise, the makeup artist almost poured the makeup remover on his face.

Da Liu blinked and replied: "I arrived at Yuedong Airport in the afternoon. Boss Wang called a dozen workers and followed the shipyard's car to pull it back."

"Okay! I'll go and have a look!"

Gao Shuang tore off his scarf and ran outside.

The makeup artist yelled anxiously from behind: "Director Gao! You haven't finished taking off your makeup yet!"

Gao Shuang turned around and explained: "Keep the makeup remover, I'll get it myself later! Go back and rest first!"

Under the leadership of Da Liu, Gao Shuang rushed to the dock of the boat.

Part of the reason why Gao Shuang was so excited was that he really liked the piano, and part of the reason was the changes brought about by the improvement of his lines skills.

He has found that after his lines skills are improved to the top line, his feelings in reality will directly affect the performance of his lines.

That is to say, with the support of real feelings, one can reach a certain magical state.

Just like in his monologue, when it comes to the piano, he can use his understanding of the piano to enhance the language, making the emotional expression more sincere.

When talking about the confusion in the face of a strange world, he can use his feelings when he first arrived at Blue Star to strengthen his tone of voice.

It is also under the accumulation of these past feelings that the monologue effect of today's explosion is created.

If this strengthened line skill is given to an ignorant child, it will definitely not be able to achieve the effect he is showing now.

Of course, if it were an experienced old man, after acquiring this ability, he would definitely be better than Gao Shuang in many aspects!

To put it bluntly, after the lines broke through the first-line level, they actually gained a kind of ability similar to empathy, not the improvement of skills!

In "Sea Pianist", the core prop is this piano.

It can even be said that this piano is the soul of the whole play, and also the soul of 1900!
Grasping this soul, Gao Shuang is confident to show 120% of "1900" on the screen!
When Gao Shuang arrived at the dock, there were already many people around the open space.

Squeezing into the crowd, Gao Shuang didn't see the piano, but saw a huge monster wrapped in [-] or [-] quilts.

Wrapped like this, it's hard to tell what this big guy is from the outside...

"Uh……"

Gao Shuang scratched his head: "This is a bit too much."

Da Liu took it for granted, "You can't overprotect your valuables, even if it's an ordinary piano, it's transported in this way."

Gao Shuang nodded, looked at the piano, then at the giant wheel next to it, and asked curiously, "How do you put it in?"

"Use that."

Da Liu turned around and pointed to the gantry crane not far away, and said, "First hoist it to the ship, and then put it in directly from the place where there is no deck."

"Then let's go! Come on! Give me a hand!"

Knowing that Liu had already made an arrangement, Gao Shuang rubbed his hands and beckoned the workers around him to move the piano to a suitable position first.

Around a dozen workers dragged the tied rope and lifted it up easily.

The workers of these shipyards are already experts in transporting various materials and materials to the ship.

At this time, it is not difficult to hang a piano up.

The gantry crane lifted the piano and slowly moved it to the top of the hull.

Gao Shuang has been waiting on the deck for a long time!
When he came here yesterday, he found that there was a part of the deck that was not closed. At that time, he thought it was because the wooden deck was not finished. Only now did he know that it was an entrance and exit to facilitate the hoisting of materials.

As the steel cable slowly fell, the piano passed through the entrance and fell steadily into the hull.

After another toss, the piano was finally placed in the center of the banquet hall!
As the layers of rope were cut, the wrapped quilt was also removed, and the sound of the brown piano was displayed in front of everyone!
When the other workers saw this piano, they just thought it was a rarity.

After all, performance-quality grand pianos are still relatively rare, and it is unlikely that many people will be exposed to such things in their lifetime.

Da Liu's reaction was a little different from other people's. First, he circled the piano back and forth a few times.

In the end, I even bent down under the piano to read the inscription on the bottom plate.

When he stood up, his expression was a little weird, and he murmured, "I can't...how could..."

"How about this piano?"

Gao Shuang saw that Da Liu seemed to have some opinions and asked.

Da Liu frowned tightly, with a hesitant look on his face.

Gao Shuang's question, he did have some speculations in his mind, but he couldn't be sure for a while.

He has studied the piano!
As the boss of the props group, although he looks carefree, he is actually a caring person!
And he needs to do as much copywriting work as a screenwriter.

Even for a movie, the amount of copywriting that Liu needs to prepare in advance far exceeds the amount of text in the script itself!
Props are not made by imagination with eyes closed.

Sometimes, an inadvertent prop goes wrong, and it is likely to make the whole movie laughable.

The most common is the costume film!

Horseback riding is the most common in costume films, but the stirrup appeared very late.

According to historical research, cavalry appeared as early as the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and it was not until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that cavalry began to become the main force in the army.

The stirrup was not gradually perfected until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it was widely used!
If someone is filming a pre-Qin movie or TV series, but sees people galloping on horses stepping on their stirrups, it is basically the result of props not being distracted.

Of course, it is also possible that the actor has not received professional riding training, so he just made do with it...

Questions like these are things props need to consider.

The historical background of this "Sea Pianist" is the period of the second industrial revolution, and many things involved in it are quite chronological!
Including gramophones, seats, decorations, and even the ship itself!
Da Liu prepared several large boxes for all kinds of information.

As a core prop, he didn't know much about the piano at first, but he learned a lot for the sake of the movie.

Even in many details such as the history and types of Blue Star pianos, Liu can already be called an expert!

This piano in front of me is very strange!
There is no manufacturing nameplate on the lid, but he noticed a faint "Steinway" stamped under the wooden base.

It's just that the handwriting is quite blurred, indicating that this piano has a history of at least 70 to [-] years!
On Blue Star, the "Steinway" brand is the number one producer of pianos.

As long as he is a pianist and composer, he has a soft spot for him!

This kind of grand piano represents the highest level of Steinway's art, but all international music festivals use this kind of piano.

However, the custom-made pianos that do not mark the brand on the panel have only appeared a few times in the history of Steinway, and each one is a legend!
"Steinway's violin definitely doesn't matter."

Da Liu groped for the bright lacquer surface, and gradually said in a slightly puzzled tone: "But... this piano is something special!"

Gao Shuang's understanding of this piano was limited to Kong Lingxuan's simple explanation. Seeing Da Liu's expression at this time, he became interested, and hoped to hear something different: "Let's listen to it!"

"This should be a custom model from decades ago."

While looking at the piano carefully, Da Liu analyzed: "The Steinway Piano Company was founded in New York, a beautiful country, in 1853. There are 67 custom-made pianos sold so far!"

"From 100 years ago to 50 years ago, eleven custom-made pianos were produced!"

"There are eight black ones, one white one, and only two brown ones."

Speaking of this, Da Liu's expression became more and more confident, and he felt that he was close to the truth!
Gao Shuang was dumbfounded, it's a pity that you don't want to be a detective!

Is the knowledge reserve of the prop group so cruel?

Liu continued: "Sotheby's auction house auctioned a brown custom-made Steinway grand piano in 1980, and the transaction price was 39 US dollars."

"In 1990, there was also a Steinway brown wooden grand piano that was also auctioned at Sotheby's. At that time, the auction estimate was between 95 and 110 million pounds."

"It was finally bought by an unknown buyer for 145 million pounds, which was equivalent to 300 million yuan at the time."

When Gao Shuang heard the second number reported by Liu, he already had the answer in his heart.

It's just that he didn't speak, but waited for Liu's further analysis.

Da Liu lifted the cover of the piano confidently, looked carefully at the keys, and then said to Gao Shuang with a smile: "Although I don't know which one this is..."

"However, the two black and white keys of the Steinway piano in front of me are different from the rest of the surface scratches! There are only two possibilities, either caused by defects during the manufacture of the piano, but I think this reason is minimal, Steinway is It’s impossible to self-destruct on custom models.”

"That's why the person who used to play this piano had the habit of hitting these two keys hard, so it caused the wear and tear."

"There are not many people who can play the keys until they wear out..."

"It is said that the piano that was sold for 300 million yuan was a relic of the European music god Kreid. He used that piano for 30 years!"

Gao Shuang opened his mouth and said after a while: "Well, it is said that this piano was indeed photographed with more than 1000 million photos."

The surrounding circle was originally fumbling around, and the interested workers all took two steps back.

Such a precious thing, if the paint is damaged, it will be bankrupt!

It's okay to stay away!

After Da Liu got an accurate answer from Gao Shuang, his eyes gradually changed from the excitement of guessing the answer to incomprehensible confusion: "You make a movie and use this kind of cultural relic to spoil... won't your conscience hurt?"
