"Attention all units, 3, 2, 1, Aikesh!"

Following the order from director Feng Xiaogang, the entire crew of "The Night Banquet" began filming the movie. Men Jie was dressed in golden and black armor, and wore a voyeuristic, dark iron helmet.

A mask that completely covers a person's face.

In the movie "The Night Banquet", at the beginning, the first person to appear was Wu Yanzu, and after a series of Wu Yanzu's scenes, he came to the most core scene of the movie - the palace!

Because Wu Yanzu was not in place yet, the filming location for that scene also required Feng Xiaogang to lead the team to other places for filming, so what is being filmed now is the scene between Men Jie and Zhang Ziyi in the palace.

Squeak!

Menjie stood on the spot, his ears twitching slightly, but he heard a door to the palace suddenly open not far away. At the same time, as time passed, the sound gradually became louder.

One door, two doors, three doors...

At this time, the camera was focused on Zhang Ziyi's back. As Zhang Ziyi continued to move, the beginning of the entire movie and some scenes in the palace were gradually unfolded.

It is said that just for this palace, Feng Xiaogang worked for several months before completing the layout of all the scenes. For this movie, he spent a lot of effort.

finally!

Squeak!

The dark door in the room where Menjie was located was slowly pushed open by the guards. Zhang Ziyi also walked over step by step, her slightly raised head seeming to demonstrate her unique status and identity.

Menjie, however, was still standing there, motionless, and even his eyes were hidden under the shadow of the brim of his hat. From a distance, he looked like a sculpture, not a real person.

"You can't hold it!"

Standing in front of Menjie, Zhang Ziyi's eyes were filled with strong dissatisfaction and she spoke to Menjie in a deep voice.

This pair of armor had already exceeded Menjie's figure when it was made. When wearing it, it really felt loose.

In fact, in the movie "The Banquet", such a pair of armor is not the private property of the character played by Menjie, but the armor of the previous emperor who was killed by Menjie.

Similarly, the queen played by Zhang Ziyi was also the queen of the previous generation of emperors. In the end, she was occupied by Menjie...

"To me, don't call me 'you', call...'the emperor'!"

Suddenly, others thought it was a sculpture, and suddenly there was a fluting sound. The sound was very low, but full of majesty that could not be described in words.

snort!

Hearing this, Zhang Ziyi grinned with a sarcastic smile, which caught Menjie's eyes, seeming to be mocking Menjie. This cold-blooded emperor who murders and usurps the throne does not deserve to be called the 'Emperor'!

"It's very difficult for me to change my words...uncle!"

Zhang Ziyi's eyes were full of coldness and ruthlessness, and she spoke to Menjie in a deep voice, fully expressing her dissatisfaction with Menjie in her words.

Once upon a time, the character played by Menjie was the queen's 'uncle', that is, a younger brother. But now, he has to become his own man, which is indeed unacceptable.

Click!

He slowly took off the helmet on his head, feeling a bit stuffy, but at the same time, as soon as Menjie's appearance was revealed, everyone around him was shocked.

Through the use of makeup techniques, Menjie's skin looks a little aging. The thick beard around his mouth seems to make Menjie's age grow by more than ten years out of thin air. His eyes are full of vicissitudes and calmness, as if he has really become a

A cold-blooded emperor around forty years old!

He bent down slightly and kissed the helmet in his hand. Or perhaps in the emperor's heart, what he kissed was a symbol of power, identity and status.

Snap!

Suddenly, Menjie suddenly shook his hand and held the helmet far away in his hand. The rapid movement formed a sharp contrast with the slowness and quietness at the beginning. At the same time, kissing the helmet and throwing away the helmet also formed a sharp contrast.

Feng Xiaogang on the side couldn't help but nod.

Menjie, really performed this flavor!

In fact, such a scene does not exist in the script itself. Even such a scene has never been seen in the original version of "The Banquet". However, Menjie has watched the movie "The Banquet" countless times at home.

After "The Night Banquet", I felt that such a scene would be better performed with such actions. After discussing with Feng Xiaogang, I also slightly changed the first scene.

Sure enough, the final effect was indeed much better than the setting in the original script.

"It doesn't fit me, I need a new one!"

After saying that, Menjie walked slowly down and walked in front of Zhang Ziyi. Then he stopped, bent down slightly, still expressionless, and whispered in Zhang Ziyi's ear, "

The country will not wait'...

The voice was full of naked greed for power and beauty, and a confident domineering attitude. Even Zhang Ziyi on the side couldn't help but trembled, as if he was subdued by Menjie's extremely domineering performance.

.

"good!"

Originally, there was no such scene in the script, but after Feng Xiaogang saw it, he couldn't help but waved the script in his hand and praised loudly.

When Feng Xiaogang thought about it, this should be Zhang Ziyi's improvisation. It was really great to be so involved in the play, far exceeding the setting in the script.

"Seal the door!"

As if he didn't care about the beauty's thoughts, Menjie walked slowly down the palace corridor in front of him and came to the nearest door. Although the guards on both sides had no part in the scene, they were very cooperative and slowly walked

Two dark doors were pushed open.

Squeak!

Suddenly, when there was only a short gap left in the door, it stopped abruptly, and Menjie's big hand suddenly penetrated from the outside of the door, as if he was expecting something.

"Sister-in-law..."

The voice echoed slowly throughout the palace, saying "sister-in-law", but she was using the power in her hands to force Zhang Ziyi to make a choice.

Will she become the new emperor's woman, or will she choose to be imprisoned in a seemingly prosperous but deep and lonely palace from now on?

Suddenly, in the camera lens, what was originally only Menjie's big hands, suddenly appeared another white, flawless, boneless palm, gently resting on Menjie's hand.

At the same time, a faint voice sounded again.

"You should be called Queen..."

There was no dissatisfaction in the voice at the beginning. At this time, Zhang Ziyi fully interpreted the whole process of a woman in a deep palace, from the beginning of being extremely dissatisfied with Menjie to the end of compromising because of interests.

I believe that there are not many women in the world who can perform so well and skillfully!

"Kah! Great!"

Not mentioning Menjie, Zhang Ziyi and the two completely entered the play. They were completely absorbed in it. Feng Xiaogang on the side was very satisfied with the performance of the two. Just after calling stop, he quickly ran to Menjie,

In front of the two of them, Zhang Ziyi couldn't help praising them.

In Feng Xiaogang's mind, this is the first time that Men Jie and Zhang Ziyi have collaborated together. Moreover, this scene must have the taste he needs in order to be considered a 'pass'. In Feng Xiaogang's past decades of filming,

Judging from experience, I really don’t understand actors who can do this. The first time Men and Jie worked together, it would take at least three to five times before they could perform this scene with the flavor they needed.

But what Feng Xiaogang never dreamed of was that Men Jie and Zhang Ziyi had already become familiar with each other by virtue of their strong favorability. During the acting, there was not even a single ng.

He finished the first act, even in one breath, and finished the second act one after another, which surprised Feng Xiaogang!

More importantly, the results of these two scenes were even better than Feng Xiaogang's initial expectations!

"Director Feng, is this how the scene ends?"

With a chuckle, Menjie was also very satisfied with the result.

You know, the scene that Menjie and his wife just filmed, in the movie "The Night Banquet", had a full three or four minutes of footage, and the filming was completed so easily...

If every day's shooting in the future can be of such high quality and speed, I'm afraid it won't take more than a week or two for the movie "The Banquet" to be officially completed and filmed!

But obviously, such high-level, high-quality, high-speed filming is impossible!

When filming the first scene, Men Jie and Zhang Ziyi were in very good mental states, so they were able to cooperate so perfectly. However, during the subsequent filming process, the two of them were more or less

Or less appeared a few times.

Moreover, in order for a drama to take shape, in addition to the protagonist, there are also a large number of supporting roles and even some supporting roles. If you can ask two professional actors, Men Jie and Zhang Ziyi, and famous movie stars not to make mistakes, how can you ask other people to do it?

People don’t make mistakes?

From some supporting actors to some extra actors, the crew all made more or less mistakes in the following process, and the filming work was delayed.

But the simple thing is that, although there was a lot of delay, we continued in accordance with Feng Xiaogang's request, and it did not affect the filming of the movie!

"Phew, the filming is finally finished!"

Finally, after a day of shooting, Menjie breathed a sigh of relief and sat down not far away to rest.

Although the filming of his part was completed, the crew had not finished work yet. In order to be able to eat the dinner that Feng Xiaogang had promised and which he personally paid for, Men Jie finally chose to stay on the crew and wait.

Men Jie didn't care much about a meal, but he would not refuse the opportunity to deepen his relationship with all the cast and crew, including Feng Xiaogang, Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi and others.

"Director Feng, you have read the script. Although it is not a complete script, I found... there seem to be some ambiguous and passionate scenes between Zhang Ziyi and me, right?"

With nothing to do, Menjie found Feng Xiaogang standing beside him and asked softly.

The script that Menjie received was not a complete script. The front part was relatively complete and detailed, but the latter part was indeed a bit confusing and vague. It did not clearly describe what the passion scene was like, although I had seen it.

The original movie, but many scenes that were not included in the film made Menjie look forward to it.

"Director Feng, since Zhang Ziyi and I have already had a passionate scene, is there a kissing scene?"

"Kissing scene?"
To be continued...
