The shooting of "The Drummer" went very smoothly. Xie Xuanming's shots can basically be passed through. Zheng Meiyun also performed exceptionally well because of Xie Xuanming's "severe scrutiny". Thanks to a thorough understanding of the script and the extra tutoring of Xie Xuanming, he rarely encountered difficulties during the filming of his own scenes, and his performance in the finished film was also very good.
With the leading actors not pulling the span, the filming schedule naturally went smoothly, but it entered the final stage in two months.
The last scene was a car accident. Ji Sheng lay dying in the abandoned car scene built by the props team, and let out one or two inaudible moans of pain.
The crane arm zoomed in on the camera, first to shine on the bloodstains on his cheek, and then slowly to the side.
The camera gradually moved downwards, and finally focused on Ji Sheng's right hand that stretched out the car door, powerlessly slumped on the asphalt road, it stayed for a moment at the ugly scar on the wrist bone, and then turned to the fingertips.
The drummer's hand has distinct joints, slender fingers, but thick calluses on his finger pads, silently complaining about his talent cut off by scars.
Under the camera, the index finger and thumb are slowly tightened, making a clamping shape.
The tiger's mouth loosened and closed, and the invisible drumstick knocked down.
Boom.
The soundless and invisible drum was sounded.
Thus ended the life of a drummer.
Ji Sheng stood still for a long time, until his waist was sore from the pressure of the props, and finally heard the director call "cut".
He struggled to get up with relief, and several crew members rushed out to help him out of the wreckage of the vehicle.
"Thank you." Ji Sheng bowed to the people around him, and before he could comfort his aching waist and neck, he looked around to find Xie Xuanming, then hurriedly left the crowd and walked to that side.
Xie Xuanming stood in a corner of the shed, folded his arms and put on his hat, watching Ji Sheng walking quickly without saying a word.
Ji Sheng walked up to him in two or three steps, looked down at his reddish eyes from under the brim of his hat, sighed and stretched his arms, and embraced him.
"Didn't I tell you not to come..." Ji Sheng said.
It will be hard to come here again.
Xie Xuanming was silent and let him hold him. People around saw the overlapping figures of the two, and consciously walked around to make room for them.
After hugging for a long time, Xie Xuanming bowed slightly and put his chin on Ji Sheng's shoulder.
Even though he knew it was acting, the appearance of Ji Sheng lying powerless in a pool of blood still opened the wound in Xie Xuanming's heart again, and reminded him of countless midnight dreams, Ji Sheng fell on the road covered in blood, screaming for help own name...
Waking up from the nightmare, Xie Xuanming sat up sweating profusely, covering his head, distressed by Ji Sheng's death, and desperate that he would not think of himself before he died.
Thinking of this, he felt very sad, growled and raged incompetently, and then greeted him with sleepless nights.
Fortunately, Ji Sheng came back to life with his dead body, and finally returned to himself.
Xie Xuanming moved his lowered hand slightly, raised it and hugged Ji Sheng instead.
"Didn't you come to the funeral scene before?" He said sullenly.
The ending of "The Drummer" is actually Ji Renshi's funeral. Xie Yuan sat on a bench, silently watching the people coming and going in front of him, and then slowly got up when all the people were gone, and put down gently in front of Ji Renshi's black and white photo. Holding the drumstick for a long time.
The moment the tip of the drumstick landed on the table, a tear rolled down his cheek.
Originally, there was no crying scene in the script, because by then Xie Yuan had already separated from Ji Renshi due to the showbiz of the entertainment industry, and the former teenage best friend and youthful love were only exchanged for the qualification to attend the funeral. Xie Yuan stood in front of Ji Renshi's black and white photo, despite all the sadness, he finally remained silent.
But when that tear fell, the director didn't stop it, and no one at the scene raised any objections.
Xie Xuanming stood in front of the black and white photo, neatly dressed, with a calm expression, but endless sadness swept everyone behind the camera.
The drop of that tear was like the only crack on his calm face. It meanders down, and the youth flashes by in that pain.
Xie Xuanming didn't let Ji Sheng go to watch that scene, but Ji Sheng still went anyway.
Holding Xie Xuanming in his arms at this moment, Ji Sheng recalled the sadness that caused his heart to be pulled when the tears fell. After a moment of silence, he carefully changed the subject: "Did you send me a wreath at the funeral?"
"...No." Xie Xuanming replied sullenly.
"Su Jing gave me two, and now he asks me to pay him back more than a thousand, isn't it outrageous..."
"But I had a fight with Sheng Kongzhi." Xie Xuanming ruthlessly interrupted Ji Sheng's thoughts of being active.
Ji Sheng slammed on the brakes and said helplessly, "I saw the news."
To be precise, I heard that when I was lying on the bed and couldn't move, the radio babbled and accused many "crimes" of Xie Xuanming, one of which was widely criticized was beating Sheng Kongzhi at the funeral.
But since it's all beaten up...
"It sounds like you won the battle?" Ji Sheng pushed him and asked.
"Yeah." Xie Xuanming let go of him, "There are reporters around, so he doesn't dare to do anything."
He added: "But he can't beat me without a reporter."
Xie Xuanming occasionally showed this kind of childish stubbornness or showing off in front of Ji Sheng.
Ji Sheng liked it very much.
He laughed out loud, raised his hand and kneaded Xie Xuanming's cheek as before: "Our little Xie is really amazing."
Under Ji Sheng's reassurance, Xie Xuanming's expression gradually relaxed. He looked down at Ji Sheng, and let him knead him without moving. It wasn't until the director couldn't help coughing a few times that he grabbed Ji Sheng's hand and took it down: "Go and celebrate the end of work with the crew."
After the filming of "The Drummer", it will take some time for post-editing review. During this period, Ji Sheng took Xie Xuanming and Nirvana to several commercial performances.
From the heated discussion at the beginning, netizens are used to it now. When they saw Xie Xuanming appearing in the list of supporting guests, they just said a few words without pain, and then added "He loves him so much" to end the discussion. "Ji Hui" and Xie Xuanming even had a batch of cp fans. Although they were besieged by both Wei fans and Xie Xuanming and Ji Sheng cp fans on three sides, they still developed with difficulty under the help of the master.
Xie Xuanming's fans said on the surface that they resisted the cp hype, but they knew in their hearts that Xie Xuanming didn't eat the fan economy, and naturally he was not bound by fans, so they went with him, and even witty fans rushed to grab Ji Hui's meeting or performance, Because I will definitely see Xie Xuanming there...
The approval of "The Drummer" was over, and several video sites that were eyeing the tiger immediately asked for the price, expressing their intention to buy the exclusive broadcasting right. Xie Xuanming chose one of them to sell.
The platform chosen by Xie Xuanming is called Passion Fruit Satellite TV, which has been at odds with KUZI for many years, and is very capable in publicity. He once clarified his conscience when Ji Shengfeng got a bad review.
Xie Xuanming did not take the opportunity to raise the price, and offered a very friendly price, but stipulated in the contract that no advance on-demand, no unreasonable editing, and no false publicity were allowed.
"The Drummer" is about to air, and Qing Chu, who is more impatient than netizens, finally comes out again, contacting Xie Xuanming, struggling to make him look at his past love, and at least delete the part that "smears" Sheng Kongzhi.
"We are willing to exchange three endorsements and a TV drama resource of a male lead." Li Tan gritted his teeth and said.
The major shareholder had an accident, Qingchu lost his backing and was in turmoil. These resources have been pooled by them with all their strength, in order to save Sheng Kongzhi, the last cash cow.
"Xuansheng has no shortage of resources." Regarding Qingchu's hemorrhage, Xie Xuanming was extremely calm, "The things you provided are not enough to move my heart, and we refuse to exchange them."
After all, he was about to hang up the phone.
"Xiao Xie!" Li Tan shouted urgently, "Resources and everything are negotiable, as long as the part of Kongzhi can be cut..."
"I want Qing's trademark." Xie Xuanming bared his fangs.
"What... what?"
"This name was originally chosen by Ji Sheng. You have occupied the magpie's nest ungratefully for so many years. Now I want to return it. There is no problem."
"Xie Xuanming, don't go too far!" Li Tan was so pissed off by him. Although Qingchu is having a hard time now, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and now Xie Xuanming opened his mouth to ask for the trademark, which is simply too deceitful.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to give it." Xie Xuanming sneered, and threw a blockbuster, "Have your company's books been evened out? How do you plan to fill the hole of several hundred million?"
"you-"
"We'll meet soon." Xie Xuanming didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore, "I'm not interested in your crappy company, but the name 'Qingchu', I just accept it."
Ignoring Li Tan's roar, Xie Xuanming hung up the phone.
"The Drummer" is scheduled to start broadcasting in July, updated every Friday and Saturday, with four episodes a week, and the broadcast will be completed in three weeks.
There is still more than a month before July, and the official blog is the first to release the trailer.
Introduced, Ji Renshi was playing drums in the closed garage, dust was flying as the drumsticks rose and fell.
The angle of view is switched, Xie Yuan is carrying a plastic bag, walking in the alley, the exposed hemp rope swaying gently with the steps.
The angle of view changed again, Xie Yuan fell to the ground, Ji Ren knocked down the last gangster with a drumstick, and stood up straight while whistling.
[who are you?]
[I'm a drummer, you yelled well just now, do you have an idea to play in a band?]
The sound of the drums intensified, and the youth of the band jumped out of the window of the bar, laughing wantonly to shake off the angry roar of the boss; Ji Ren slapped the cream on Xie Yuan's face with eleven palms, and raised his eyebrows to say happy birthday; Amid thousands of cheers, Xie Yuan closed his eyes, turned his back to the audience and fell into the crowd.
The drums stopped suddenly.
[I want to go to the entertainment circle to see]
The confrontation between teenagers and capital in the talent show, Ji Renshihong looked down from the top of the pyramid, the two were arguing on the side of the road, and the spying camera clicked from the tall building opposite...
[Can't go on stage again! If you're not an actor, what on earth can you do?]
The broker asked irritably.
Ji Renshi slammed the door and walked out in silence.
The drumbeat became more and more rapid, and finally a rebeat sounded.
The two vehicles collided heavily.
The drumbeat ends.
In the silence, Ji Renshi stretched out the deformed frame with bloody hands.
He tapped slowly on the ground.
[咚咚]
[I am a drummer]
The boy Ji Renshi said with a smile.
The screen turns dark and the progress bar bottoms out.
[drummer]
Two large characters appeared on the screen.
Stay tuned.
