Chapter 69 Do you want to play Journey to the West?
Chapter 69 Do you want to act in Journey to the West?
The name of the "Jade Emperor" is Fan Youwen, who once taught at Beijing Film Academy and taught Yu Feihong when she was in college.
Later, he resigned and went to the United States for further study. When Yu Feihong went to the United States, the two contacted again, and now they have become both teachers and friends.
This time Fan Youwen returned to China. In addition to taking over the artistic direction of several crew projects, he was also invited by Hengdian Film and Television City to serve as a consultant to provide advice on the construction of Hengdian Cinema, which is like a think tank.
It happened that Yu Feihong was also filming in Hengdian, so he came to visit the cast.
It's just that I was exploring "Little Li's Flying Knife", but Yu Feihong took me to the set of "Wukong" halfway through.
When Yu Feihong asked if he wanted to play and make a cameo?
Fan Youwen became addicted to the drama on the spot and agreed directly.
As he is nearly fifty, what he wants is this youthful look.
It was only after he filmed a guest scene of his own that he found out that almost half of the crew of "Wukong" were from "Little Li Fei Dao".
They were all abducted by a young man named Jiang Yan.
Naturally, he had heard of Jiang Yan.
Yu Feihong told him yesterday that this young man was extremely talented.
Fan Youwen has been a teacher, so he is naturally interested in highly gifted children.
The result now looks like this.
This kid is indeed handsome, and his appearance is top-notch!
But the problem is, there aren't many traces of training.
And you just acted like a monkey? Who instigated you?
You must know that in this era, after 86 Journey to the West came out, there have been almost no remakes of monkeys. It’s not that we don’t want to film them, but that the monkey is so powerful that who dares to act in it?
Either you are imitating others, or you are just trying to learn HD.
A random imitation, a mechanical imitation.
In the end, it just brought out that person's awesomeness.
Of course, there are people who take photos of pranks or other places.
But for an actor with top-notch appearance like Jiang Yan, it seems unreasonable to take a high road in the future.
This kind of young man should play the role of Yang Guo, the young emperor, take the niche route, and show his face throughout.
But playing a monkey?
Fan Youwen couldn't help but laugh when he thought of such a tall and tall young man playing the role of an out-of-the-box hozen.
The sense of dissonance is simply overwhelming.
So here’s the question:
"Is this him you are talking about? He plays the role of a monkey??"
At this time, Yu Feihong replied: "Yes, he is the boss, so naturally he plays the leading role, and I think he should have a novel performance."
After the filming of the last music video, even when she sang at the end, she felt that this was her own experience, so she showed her true feelings and acted in her true colors.
But then I thought about it, and there seemed to be many details that couldn't be explained.
That kind of acting and emotional expression that is better than yours cannot fool anyone.
So this time the teacher came, he naturally had to introduce Jiang Yan to him.
I would also like to ask my friends to identify which faction Jiang Yan belongs to.
As a result, Fan Youwen was stunned on the spot when he heard this.
When he made a guest appearance in the morning, he was greeted by director Zhang Shuang. He really didn't know that the boss of this crew was here, and he was also Jiang Yan!
Handsome and rich.
Eighty percent of them are for fun.
So what if you have high talent?
So he simply opened his hands, shrugged, and said in an old American way:
"Wow, all I can say is, he must be the most handsome monkey!"
After saying that, he stopped talking.
It's not interesting, it makes you worry in vain.
How could Yu Feihong not know Fan Youwen's thoughts? Just as he was about to explain, the "Jade Emperor" scene came again, and Fan Youwen also straightened up his appearance and walked onto the stage.
Yu Feihong had no choice but to give up.
...
The final shot as the "Jade Emperor" is simple.
The Jade Emperor waved his hand majestically and ordered: "Behead!".
So the monkey was executed.
The final effect is actually to show how heaven mistreats monkeys.
After filming this, today's scene is over.
Starting tomorrow, it will be monkey drama.
Counterattack against Heaven.
Then he was pressed into Wuzhi Mountain.
Then put on the tight hoop and head westward.
Finally, a montage is created using the monkey's gaze to look back at this life.
Mv ends here.
Jiang Yan's original intention was to put it upside down, but he didn't know if that would work.
Shooting is easy.
But the monkey is under great pressure.
Not only do you have to wear furry skin in the middle of summer, you also have to fight back and forth.
If you are not careful, you may suffer from heatstroke.
So in order to be more comfortable, the crew decided to go to bed early today and leave Jiang Yan to put on his makeup in the middle of the night, and then start working directly after putting on makeup.
Indoor scenes such as the monkey stealing the elixir and destroying the Yaochi Banquet will be filmed first tomorrow.
When it's bright and the indoor scenes are finished, I'll shoot all the remaining fighting scenes. If I can catch up, they will be completed tomorrow.
In other words, Jiang Yan has to stay up all night today.
So when the crew finished filming at noon, Jiang Yan came to Yu Feihong and expressed his gratitude to Yu Feihong and Fan Youwen.
We introduced each other along the way.
Jiang Yan naturally knew about Fan Youwen's arrival.
It was just that at that time, his mind was filled with thoughts of becoming a god, so he nodded directly to Zhang Shuang's request and didn't take it at all.
So now that my path is different, I naturally have to say hello to this suspected celebrity who helped make a guest appearance.
"I'm in a hurry today. If Teacher Fan has time tomorrow night, please stay." Jiang Yan said with a smile.
"No, no, I'm just here to have fun, and I have something to do tomorrow, so there's no need to go to such trouble." Fan Datian refused with a smile.
The two went back and forth several times, and finally Jiang Yan had to give up.
If you don't want to stay, then don't stay. Anyway, just have the right attitude. It's just what you want, and I don't say I have to force it.
After he left, Yu Feihong blamed Fan Youwen with some helplessness: "Will you die if you eat a meal?"
But Fan Youwen shrugged and said, "I really have something to do tomorrow, there's a wine party, I can't turn it down."
"Come over tomorrow morning and watch his performance!" Yu Feihong said.
"Okay, okay, oh, I don't have human rights. I'm not allowed to sleep in..." Fan Youwen didn't take it seriously and just joked.
...
It was four o'clock in the morning the next day.
Before dawn
Jiang Yan finally completed the monkey makeup after more than five hours of makeup.
Unlike Teacher Zhang's monkey, it is not as pale-faced, and it is not as ferocious as the one with a fish feast.
Between the two, and because of Jiang Yan's sharp features and tall stature, he looks like a Super Saiyan at first glance.
He is indeed handsome, but Jiang Yan doesn't have time to be ostentatious.
stuffy!
This is the only feeling.
It was still early in the morning and the temperature was not yet high.
If it's noon...
This made him wonder how advanced special effects technology would have to be introduced in the future.
Shooting will start soon.
The first two scenes are indoor scenes.
At the Yaochi banquet, they were drunk and made trouble, and the elixir was stolen from Tushita Palace.
Then, taking advantage of the sunrise, we took pictures of the silhouettes of the four masters and apprentices on the horizon facing the morning light on the way west.
The remaining masters and disciples are all random people who don't show their faces anyway.
Then, the monkeys get equipped and fight in the heaven.
Then I filmed fighting with various monsters and monsters.
Then there was the fight with Erlang Shen.
Anyway, it’s just a fight.
Various necessary close-ups are interspersed in the middle, such as putting on tight hoops, facing the sky in battle, etc.
After the hunting, it was time to pick peaches from the Peach Garden and the Seven Fairies.
Finally, I let out a howl from Wuzhishan, and the whole play was over.
These are ten scenes, put together and completed in two days.
Simple, but powerful.
So Jiang Yan kept his spirits up.
Enter the set.
After saying "action".
Jiang Yan is completely entrusted to "Avatar".
What follows is a perfect performance.
Drunk, plundering, and stealing elixirs, all in a monkey-like manner without losing agility, all done in one go, as if they were happening again yesterday.
In less than an hour, it was all done.
"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly." Zhang Shuang said with emotion.
It's not that he was amazed by Jiang Yan's acting skills, he was already somewhat immune to Jiang Yan's acting skills.
Instead, I lamented that the time reserved today was more than two hours ahead of schedule.
In other words, people like me have to wait for about two hours before the actors arrive.
"Then let's have breakfast first!" Jiang Yan said carefully lying on the floor mat.
After a whole night of tossing, it was indeed a bit difficult. He had to squint for a while.
More than two hours later.
Half past six in the morning.
The temperature has started to rise.
The actors put on their makeup and got into position.
Continue shooting.
This time, Jiang Yan doesn’t need an “avatar”.
Because fighting scenes are different from one-man shows.
This thing has to work together.
Yuan Heping was on the sidelines giving guidance.
Although all the fight scenes combined are estimated to be less than one or two minutes.
But Lao Yuan still came and was very serious.
Even the monsters and ghosts were played by the Yuan family.
This greatly speeds up progress.
During this period, Jiang Yan specifically requested to give Erlang Shen more shots.
People come to help for free, but they have to take care of themselves.
Well, add two seconds.
Two hours passed.
Jiang Yan felt like he was sweating so much that the ground was dripping with water, and all the action scenes were just finished filming.
Then there are the close-ups.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Only the last two scenes remain.
At this time, Yu Feihong also dragged Fan Youwen over.
This old man was like an old naughty boy, and he was a little unhappy.
And arriving at the same time as them were seven golden flowers.
.....
.....
The 96th Chinese Opera Seven Golden Flowers.
Hu Jing, Zeng Li, Ji Ji Zhang, Yuan Quan, Mei Ting, Qin Hailu, Fu Jing.
The most famous person here so far is probably Zeng Li. After all, she is recognized as the school beauty.
Zeng Li at this time was not what he looked like in the pictures of later generations.
But it is indeed beautiful and has an atmospheric beauty.
Looking at the others, Mei Ting must have dropped out of school at this time.
Yuan Quan is also very good, but the one that caught Jiang Yan's attention the most was the International Chapter.
This is not because she is beautiful.
But this person is too famous in future generations, and I don’t know if he and Wang Rock will have a thunderstorm...
The current international chapter is not too conspicuous in the crowd, and it seems that it is deliberately keeping a low profile.
But Jiang Yan knows that she should have finished acting in Guoshi's movie by now. In two months, after Guoshi's "My Father and Mother" is released, the international chapter will be born, and then it will be the best in the world.
.
I don’t know what the remaining six people will think at that time.
Having said that, such a lineup is indeed powerful in the eyes of later generations.
I don’t know how it is possible to be short and tight.
Wasn't it difficult to take on roles in the first two years of Chinese drama?
Oh, it's summer vacation now...
But these questions were quickly forgotten.
Even though I'm here, I'm still thinking about it.
Just shout 666 to Xiao Da.
It's short but big and tight, that's it.
I saw him walking up to me with a smile while waving his folding fan, quietly asking for credit:
"How about it, isn't it exciting? The most beautiful ones in Chinese dramas are all here."
Jiang Yan: “666!”
"The performance will be over in a moment. You change your clothes and I will arrange a few more scenes for you." Xiao Dajong continued.
Jiang Yan: "That's so awesome!"
"Okay, go ahead, I won't disturb you anymore." Xiao Dajin said very generously.
Jiang Yan: "Thank you!"
So Jiang Yan stepped forward to say hello:
"Hello, I'm Jiang Yan, welcome to you."
As a result, Zeng Li, who started the conversation, was startled.
She was frightened by Jiang Yan's monkey costume.
But immediately, several people started laughing.
After all, a monkey, doing very gentlemanly behavior, looks a little funny no matter how you look at it.
After the few people exchanged a few words, Jiang Yan asked them to change clothes first.
It's not that I don't want to talk, it's just that I'm not interested.
This skin is really stuffy and hot.
Jiang Yan just wanted to finish filming quickly and then take a cold shower.
Fan Youwen on the side looked at Jiang Yan silently.
Sure enough, this was just for fun.
With such a gentle look, can he play the role of a monkey well?
But next.
When Zhang Shuang shouted "action"
Fan Youwen's eyes widened.
Is this Jiang Yan just now?
Isn't this a substitute?
That's not right. If the stand-in acts like this, then he is just Mao's stand-in.
At this moment, inside the studio.
The scene being filmed now is Monkey Monkey playing freely in the peach garden after bluffing away the land.
So monkeys no longer suppress their nature, they just go around picking peaches with a monkey mentality.
Jiang Yan turned on his "avatar".
Sun Monkey's true nature instantly took over.
Then the tall human figure suddenly turned into a monkey with a circle of arms and legs.
The person is still the same person, but the temperament is like a monkey.
Lifelike.
I saw the grandson looking left and right, extremely excited and angry, always scratching the back of his hands involuntarily, drooling uncontrollably, and swallowing hard.
And those eyes were shining with big stars.
People will know at a glance that this monkey is hungry!
Then, the camera moves.
The next thing to shoot is the monkey eating peaches one by one and then getting drunk on the peaches.
And Jiang Yan's performance, in the words of later generations, is: a large-scale eating and broadcasting scene!
Grab one, take a bite, and eat it in your mouth while looking at other peaches.
When you see a bigger one, you immediately drop it and bite it when it goes up.
The onlookers' mouths were watering after watching this.
They all shouted in their hearts: You should finish eating such a delicious peach, don’t waste it, those are fairy peaches!
A second later, everyone shouted in their hearts: Over there, there is a big one over there! Hurry!
But this kind of acting skills looks different in Fan Youwen's eyes:
"This man, no, this monkey, no, Jiang Yan! Yes, that's him."
Fan Youwen inadvertently scooped it up.
This is not his fault, it is really because the contrast between Jiang Yan and Jiang Yan is too great.
One second he was a gentle, polite actor wearing monkey skin.
The next second he turned into a monkey!
Moreover, he is also a monkey with spiritual wildness and divine nature!
This is Sun Wukong!
And the performance level is so natural.
He knows that anyone who just plays an animal will have physical obstacles, which also makes physical changes necessary to achieve a high level of empathy. This is one of the secrets of Zhang Jilai's ability to play a monkey well.
However, just having the know-how is not enough. You must also have temperament and be extremely familiar with the habits of animals. This is something that most people cannot do.
But now, Jiang Yan has not only done it, but he can even win the prize?!
Fan Youwen suddenly felt incredible.
So he continued to read.
The more I looked at the result, the more frightened I became:
"I didn't expect that this Jiang Yan could really compete with that one! The one is a monkey, this one is more wild; the one's actions, movements and eyes are lifelike, this one is more bold, wild and untamable, like a demon king
Domineering; if we really want to tell the difference..."
Fan Youwen shook his head and finally defined: "Jiang Yan's..."
As a result, before he finished speaking, he was startled by himself.
Is this kid so fierce?
Zhang Jilai's ceiling was directly broken?
At this moment, he fell into doubt.
Then, the camera changed again, and the famous scene of "fixing" the seven fairies began.
Jiang Yan solved everything by striking three times, five times, and two times.
With a "click", he almost collapsed to the ground, and then shouted to the stage manager: "Water! It's so hot!"
At this moment, Monkey Sun directly transformed into the big boy next door.
It made all the fairies cover their mouths and laugh.
But at that moment, the contrast between monkey and human was surprising to Fan Youwen.
Now he finally understood why Yu Feihong was so optimistic about this person.
This is a seedling that can perfectly control the sense of belief!
Moreover, combined with the amateurish feeling he had seen before, he suddenly discovered that this kid actually had a talent for acting!
This is what God is chasing and feeding me!
Simply terrifying!
If you can give me some training and guidance...
Fan Youwen immediately felt that such a seedling was indeed worth investing in.
So Fan Youwen walked up directly and said to the sweaty monkey who was drinking a lot of water:
"Do you like Sun Wukong very much?"
When Jiang Yan heard this, he didn't say anything, but Fan Youwen said again:
