Chapter 72: Grinding the Lens
Xu Hui has two assistants, one is the life assistant, Comrade Mu Hua, and the other is the director assistant. He used to be Chen Sangniu, but now he has been replaced by Li Yang.
Li Yang is a director who is already a little famous. "The Adventures of Li Xianji" is his director and screenwriter. It can only be said that he is talented, but his hands-on ability is a bit lacking. He is also very smart and knows that he is not enough, so he took the initiative to be a director assistant for Xu Hui...
After all, the former director assistant Chen Sangniu is already a new director with works. "I Never Expected" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor"...
"Director, I don't understand why Feng Qingyang's image is not a fairy-like character but a... a bad old man?"
"It's not a bad old man, it's just that his clothes are a little old, so I can only say he's playing with others!"
The costumes and props are the facade of costume dramas. Yu Ma's "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" costumes are too exaggerated and do not look like the world at all, but quite like the court. Feng Qingyang wore a white shirt. Although he was fairy-like, it was a pity that it was not very realistic. Who would wash clothes for an old man who lived in seclusion for many years? Could it be that he had the ability to avoid dust?
Of course, in the version of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" by Mr. Xu, Feng Qingyang's appearance is really sloppy and a bit too much. It's not Feng Qingyang, it's Hong Qigong!
Xu Hui decided to give it a compromise and make the clothes look old, but they are still very clean. By the way, Xu Hui, the actor who plays Feng Qingyang, specially invited Mr. Yu Chenghui.
The plot needs to be modified as well.
Linghu Chong was chased by a master of Songshan Sect. Feng Qingyang happened to pass by. Seeing that he was Huashan’s sword technique, his tone was very suitable for his taste, and he taught him the “Nine Swords of Dugu”…
The bamboo forest was the last outdoor selection point. Several people looked at it, then returned to the hotel and flew back to Hengguo that night.
The crew members have gathered, and the actors have not yet taken their seats.
The main actor, Yue Buqun, found Teacher Wei Zi and Wang Wei. He is not only the actor of Yue Buqun in CCTV's version of "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer", but also a national first-class actor in the People's Art Theater!
Wei Zi didn't really want to take on this role at first, after all, he had already played a role, so he couldn't resist Xu Hui and Wu Gang's persuasion, so he took on this role!
Zuo Lengchan is looking for Heizi, Zhang Yonggang, an old actor, who is a character who claims to support a drama alone!
In "The Last Biography of Journey to the West", he played Wutian, which definitely improved the level of the entire drama!
Of course, there are Yu Canghai and Ning Zhongze, who have found Ji Chunhua and Yang Mingna, who are all skilled actors.
After all, if this version is gone, Yu Canghai will be the main force behind the Lin family's destruction; as for Ning Zhongze, it is because Xu Hui likes this character very much.
Ning Zhongze is definitely one of the heroines in Jin Yong's works. Although he is not very good at writing, Ren Woxing said: "I know the Ning female hero of Huashan School, but Mr. Yue Shi, I have never heard of it."
With just a few words, Ning Zhongze's image is already very clear.
I really don’t understand why this character was directly harmonious by Old Monster Xu?
Is it because I think there are enough characters and there is no need?
...
On May 23, most of the actors in the crew came according to schedule.
I will start the filming tonight and take a picture of the Lin Mansion’s daily life.
There is no need to organize any opening press conferences, the attention of "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" is enough!
Simple paying of the camera, paying of the camera is a tradition passed down from Hong Kong movies. The team behind the scenes of "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" has everything from action director Cheng Xiaodong to costume designer Zhang Shuping, including editing director Chen Qihe, who are all from Hong Kong. However, this time the photography also includes executive director Xu Hui who found mainlanders.
The main photography, Han Qiming, recommended by Lu Yang, worked with him on "Embroidered Chun Dao 2" and "Blade Ma Dan"!
After paying attention to the air, Xu Hui gathered the entire behind-the-scenes team:
"Let me talk first. Our two films will be filmed in a concentrated manner. You may have to work hard because the schedule has been determined and will be released at the end of October... Everyone prepares the props first and starts in half an hour!"
The workers began to busy setting up the scene. Xu Hui walked to Ning Hao, who was not polite: "This is impossible!"
"You mean there is not enough time?"
"From the end of May to October, there are only five months to complete, and it still needs to be promoted. How can a drama be completed!"
Ning Hao had known before that Xu Hui was very fast in filming, but this was a little exaggerated.
Usually, it takes at least eight months for a drama to be released from the project to the release!
"Don't worry, there are not many special effects, five months is enough!"
Xu Hui is so confident, in addition to being confident in every link, he is also feeling very uncomfortable!
Being a director is very similar to love, and it is easy to be addictive.
Xu Hui hasn't filmed a movie for a year. The previous "Wilderness" is not counted. It's a big deal. Every time I get excited, a group of people clamor to get off work...
He must play this movie well!
Torture these actors!
Haha, I completely forgot about this guy, I am also one of the actors!
...
The first scene of filming is Lin Zhennan, Mrs. Wang and Lin Pingzhi's daily life. Lin Pingzhi found Yang Yang to make a guest appearance. Unlike TV series, Lin Pingzhi died miserably and died at the beginning...
But Lin Zhennan doesn't know...
"Dad, I heard from the people that Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sect is coming to us for revenge. Has our Fuwei Escort Agency offended him?"
"This... don't worry, our Lin family is well-known in the entire martial arts world. Yu Canghai is not that big yet! How have you practiced the sword technique I teach you?"
"Very good, even the escorts at home can't get close to me!"
"Click!"
Xu Hui was very dissatisfied. In addition to Li Xiaowan's recommendation, Xu Hui felt that Lin Pingzhi did not need acting skills at all in this version of "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer", and just showed a spoiled young man in his family.
When you smile, you are bright and stunned when you die. Just these two expressions do not require extra acting skills at all, and you can even come to the cannon king!
"Yang Yang, don't add to the show, don't look worried. Haven't you read the script? You are just a rich young master who is ignorant of the world!"
"But... I'm sorry, director, let's do it again."
Yang Yang has his own ideas.
It’s probably the psychology of every supporting role: can’t I let myself live a few more seconds?
But the young man is quite sensible. At least he doesn’t like Yin Tianchou, he wants to explain his performance philosophy. Who can listen to your delayed working hours when you have time?
As the actor entered the stage, the camera pointed at Wu Gang who played Lin Zhennan: "Our Lin family is a well-known figure in the entire martial arts world. No matter how shameless he is, he has to worry about the reputation of the Qingcheng School!"
"Then I will..."
"Click!"
Xu Hui called for a pause. This time it was not because of the actor, but because of the mistake of props. The porcelain placed in the living room actually had enamel porcelain!
"…Give me a prop and take away the colored porcelain! Do you know porcelain? Enamel colored porcelain is something that only existed in the Qing Dynasty. How did it appear in the Ming Dynasty? Have you traveled through time?"
Chapter completed!
