Chapter 83: Trouble in Heaven and Trouble in Lingshan
The few words Director Yang said with a smile actually basically determined Jiang Yan's role as the golden-winged roc.
Jiang Yan still has an impression of this character. Tathagata's "uncle" is very powerful and dares to cause trouble in Lingshan.
So after Jiang Yan made a big fuss in Heaven, he was going to make a big fuss in Lingshan again.
When he becomes an immortal in the future, I don’t know what the two big gangs in the sky will think of him...
As for the shooting location, Director Yang decided on Baishui Lake in Luofu Mountain, Bashu.
The scenes between Peacock Princess and Shituoling will also be filmed there.
Jiang Yan has never been to Bashu in his whole life, and this time he has to try Bashu's special hot pot.
As for the role of the six-eared macaque, we have to practice with the monkey monkey.
Jiang Yan actually doesn’t really want to act.
Because after talking with Director Yang, I found out that this is actually a stand-in, the kind that does not show the front camera even though it is put on makeup.
Unless two monkeys are in the same frame, it is basically Teacher Six who plays the role.
There is no exclusive shape for the six-eared macaque.
At most, it only appeared once when he was beaten to death, and it was still vague.
As for why the scene with the six-eared macaque was not specially filmed.
After all, there are a lot of things to discuss in "The Real and Fake Monkey King".
For example, who was killed in the end?
Is it the original monkey who finally got the scripture?
Jiang Yan didn't ask, and he wasn't stupid. How could this kind of plot appear in Yangshi's "Journey to the West"?
Therefore, Jiang Yan has little interest in this role.
...
While waiting for Teacher Six to come over, Jiang Yan approached Yao Ming and wanted him to enchant "Chi Ling".
Just give him some suggestions and you can add a name to him yourself.
In this way, when this popular and dramatic song comes out, it will be much more popular.
Mainland pop music is actually quite conservative these days.
Jiang Yan was worried that the release of this advanced song that combined the essence of Chinese culture would lead to a mess of sounds.
But with Yao Ming's signature, it's different.
People dare to include Peking opera and rap in their songs, and they can even perform on national stages, which has long been recognized by the industry.
With a great guy like Yao Ming to support him, those idiots looking for trouble would not hesitate.
As for the tiger's body shaking, and then being slapped in the face, it is of course great to achieve a counterattack.
But you can definitely take precautions in advance, so why not?
So Jiang Yan handed over the music score. After Yao Ming took it and read it, he really liked it.
Can you not like it? This is what he does.
So Yao Ming chatted with Jiang Yan on the spot.
I want to ask you where the inspiration came from, whether there is a story background, and how to sing this part.
Jiang Yan said in passing that he was inspired by "Rap Face" and the story of Pei Yanzhi, a Liyuan boy during the Anti-Japanese War, as the background.
Of course, Jiang Yan doesn't know whether Pei Yanzhi is an artistic combination of the images of many Liyuan disciples or whether he is a real person.
But this does not hinder the meaning conveyed by this song.
"good words!"
While we were chatting, Director Yang came around and saw the lyrics. He immediately clapped his hands and praised, "I dare not forget about my country despite my humble position, even if no one knows me."
"This sentence is well written. Artists are also members of the revolution and must contribute to national construction. When the country is in danger, they dare to sacrifice their lives to serve the country. This spirit deserves to be praised."
"Xiaojiang, it's really rare for you to be able to write such words..."
Director Yang praised him so much that Jiang Yan couldn't help but blush.
Old lady, please stop talking, I can't afford it, I just copied it...
Fortunately, Fan Youwen on the side interrupted: "Auntie, I just said this kid is pretty good."
Aunt?
Jiang Yan looked at Fan Youwen, a little surprised.
But before he could think about it, Director Yang also stopped. Then he looked at Jiang Yan and smiled happily: "That's right. Not many children have this kind of consciousness nowadays."
"No, no, no, Director Yang, you are overly complimentary, I just wrote it randomly..." What else could Jiang Yan say, he could only be more humble.
It seemed that a song aroused Director Yang's interest, and the old lady began to chat with Jiang Yan about home affairs.
While chatting, I asked Jiang Yan about his family situation.
Jiang Yan's natural truth is that his parents are dead.
As a result, Mrs. Yang seems to like Jiang Yan more, or maybe she is more talkative as she gets older. In short, her attitude towards Jiang Yan has improved to a higher level, and she answers all his questions.
Jiang Yan also asked: "Director Yang, when will filming start?"
He looked at the crew's posture. Even though they were wearing makeup and everything, it didn't look like they were going to start filming anytime soon.
"I guess your golden-winged roc will have to be dragged away for a while. It's difficult to walk there because of the floods." Director Yang replied with a smile, "The real and fake Monkey King will have to be decided on the filming location."
During the chat, Jiang Yan also learned about the general arrangements of the crew.
Director Yang's crew is really different from other crews.
In other words, many official drama crews of this era are very different from those that came later.
The shooting time is often calculated in quarters or even years.
Take the current film "Journey to the West Sequel". It actually started filming half a year ago, and then it was shot here and there, because the cameraman is Director Yang's lover.
The actors were officially gathered to start filming recently.
The completion of the entire drama will be postponed to next year, which is 1999.
Then comes post-production, waiting until the broadcast, in Director Yang's words, by the end of 1999.
But Jiang Yan knew that it would take a millennium for this to be broadcast.
So the rhythm of the whole team is very slow.
Of course, being slow also has its advantages, as we are shooting all over the country.
When I was a child, I watched "Journey to the West". Apart from the story, the scenery was the most attractive.
While chatting, monkey monkey arrived.
When Director Yang saw Teacher Six coming, his smile disappeared a little.
Jiang Yan had heard of the conflict between the two people, but now Quan pretended not to have seen it.
Soon, after Jiang Yan and Teacher Six met for the first time and said hello, they began to try their hand at acting together.
The rival scene is about two monkeys trying to distinguish the true from the false in front of Guanyin.
After Jiang Yan memorized the lines, he directly clicked on the "avatar", and then the tall boy next door suddenly turned into the monkey-like Wukong.
Of course, this is Wukong before wearing a tight band.
Some of the wildness, some of the domineering spirit of a demon king, and the inner rebellion cannot be hidden.
I saw the monkey pointing at Teacher Six and complaining to "Bodhisattva" Director Yang: "Bodhisattva, on this road to the West, you have helped me to slay demons and eliminate monsters many times. Today when you see this monster, why don't you recognize me?"
Already?"
At this moment, everyone present except Fan Youwen was shocked: They are so similar!
Then they all looked at Teacher Six quietly from the corner of their eyes: You, the monkey, have met your match!
Teacher Six was provoked and of course he would not accept it.
I am an expert at playing monkeys! I am Sun Wukong!
So he turned on all his firepower, instantly transformed into Wukong, and said anxiously to "Guanyin" Director Yang:
"Bodhisattva, I am real and he is fake."
Jiang Yan said proudly: "Bodhisattva, I am the real one, he is fake!"
Then the two faced each other, and they shouted at each other angrily: "You are fake, you are fake!"
The scene almost got into a fight at one point.
If the two faces weren't so different, Director Yang couldn't help but wonder, who is the real one?
Fortunately, the rivalry drama ends here.
Both sides returned to normal instantly, and everyone present applauded.
Jiang Yan was the first to go up and shake hands with Teacher Six with a smile: "Teacher Six, you are my idol, can you sign your name for me later?"
Regardless of Teacher Six's character, Jiang Yan's fan is Sun Wukong anyway.
When Teacher Six heard what Jiang Yan said, he suppressed his dissatisfaction just now, and then said generously: "It's easy to say, oh, have you learned this monkey trick since you were a child?"
"I learned it all from watching you. I like you very much!" Jiang Yan said.
Teacher Six said happily: "Oh, then your talent is really good!"
"You are a good role model!"
"Where, where..."
The scene suddenly turned into a fan meeting, and the atmosphere was harmonious and friendly.
Not long after, Director Yang spoke: "Xiao Yan, why don't you arrange a scene for your six-eared macaque to show off? You are still a bit tall."
This is true. No matter how much Jiang Yan adjusts his frame, it is still much bigger than the rib-like Sixth Teacher.
And from a shooting perspective, the makeup of these two people is not exactly the same.
Therefore, Director Yang analyzed it from a professional perspective and finally gave up on his idea and used the footage as compensation.
As for letting this child be a substitute, forget it, it's not necessary.
"No problem!" Jiang Yan agreed on the spot.
Just one appearance is considered a subversion of the original version.
As for actually acting as a stand-in for Teacher Six, he was not very willing.
Since there is a golden-winged roc, why bother playing a stand-in for Sun Wukong?
Not to mention the exhausting work, the key is time-consuming.
The Real and Fake Monkey King will be filming soon, and he has to go to Hong Kong.
Teacher Six was also happy now. He really felt threatened just now and was afraid that Director Yang would make an even more extreme decision.
You know, he can continue to play the monkey in the sequel, partly because he and a group of veteran actors asked Director Yang.
On the other hand, no one can replace him.
Otherwise, how could Director Yang give him a chance if there was such a big conflict before?
Really no one can replace it.
Now Jiang Yan suddenly appeared, younger than him, more handsome than him, and he was as good as him in playing a monkey, which really made him sweat.
Fortunately, it's okay now.
Director Yang also sighed in his heart.
It would have been better if I had met Jiang Yan two months earlier.
Thinking like this, she glanced at Teacher Six and felt unhappy again.
Then she made a decision and said: "Then let's do it, Xiaoyan, the golden-winged roc will be given to you, and the six-eared macaque will also put on your makeup when the time comes."
"By the way, let me know when your "Chi Ling" comes out later," Director Yang finally added.
"Okay!" Jiang Yan agreed with a smile.
The final scene of "Journey to the West Sequel" is decided here.
Jiang Yan will play the role of the six-eared macaque and the golden-winged roc, and the salary will be 10,000, um, Naolingshan.
The schedule is half a month, and with five days' notice, filming will probably start in September.
The salary doesn't matter, as long as I can participate in "Journey to the West" and get to know Mrs. Yang.
Therefore, the task of expanding the circle of friends has been basically completed.
Before leaving, he had dinner with Director Yang and others.
During this period, I talked with Yao Ming about "Red Ling". Yao Ming said that he would introduce professional drama actors to Jiang Yan to act in the music video.
Can the drama actors recommended by others be average?
So I had another successful prostitution for nothing.
After the meal, Jiang Yan stayed directly in Hangcheng.
The next morning, I set off to Jiangsu Province to visit Wu Jing, and then tried to get some prostitution with Yuan Heping, so as to get a foothold in filming movies in Hong Kong.
Thank you to "Wonderful Articles for Sharing" for the reward and for your monthly votes and recommendation votes.
I won’t write about the intrigues between the actors and directors behind Journey to the West, as it’s not interesting.
I originally thought about floods and fund-raising parties, but I was told that it was best not to write about it, so forget it.
In short, up to this point, the protagonist has almost stacked the armor, and it is time to leave the novice village.
