In the original version of "Tian Long Ba Bu", if we say the most dramatic scene is the last scene of the Battle of Song and Liao, the majestic force of thousands of troops and the soul-stirring spirit of the wealthy people are unforgettable.
But other than that, in terms of the grandness of the scene, it is the gathering of heroes from all over the world in Shaolin.
Shaolin in the TV series was filmed at the Xingchang Buddhist Temple.
The first big scene that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were going to shoot was also this scene.
Whether it’s a movie or a TV series, the first shot is all about getting off to a good start.
But the actors have just arrived on the set today, and some preparations for the service and setting up the scene will take time, so the scene that gets off to a good start must be simple.
Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min discussed it and chose the simplest play from several plans that had been agreed upon earlier.
——Hu Jun gallops his horse.
"real……"
In the costume team's room, Wang Jinhua shook her head with disgust.
"Everything about this crew is good, but these costumes really set the standard down."
Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, Cheng Hao and other actors who came to join in the fun couldn't help but smile when they heard this.
Hu Jun spread his hands and said that there was nothing he could do.
Wang Jinhua shook his head again: "Look at how you are dressed, how do you look like the leader of the Beggar Clan? How do you look like the king of the South Campus? Just a bandit leader in the green forest and mountains."
"Hahaha~" Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and others laughed out loud.
Just like on Earth, after "Dragon" was aired, Qiao Feng's appearance has been criticized by some fans of the show and books.
The Qiao Feng played by Hu Jun is domineering and heroic enough, but the costume really doesn't work.
The costumes in the 1997 version were not very good either, but the 1997 version was broadcast in the 1990s. From the perspective of that time, there was no big problem in persuasion.
Today is the 2000s. Although it has only been a few years, the country joined the WTO in the past two years. The domestic economy is developing rapidly and the audience's aesthetics are becoming more and more high-end. When looking at some entertainment products, the vision will naturally be greater than in the past.
The difference is normal.
"I complained during the audition. Director Zhang heard it and said that I have no artistic sense. How about you go and give me some advice?" Hu Jun said with a smile.
"You want me to offend someone? You are so kind to me." Wang Jinhua rolled her eyes at him and waved: "Hurry up and go to the filming. Don't let anything slip if you get off to a good start."
"Ride a horse, take a few seconds of footage, and it will be done quickly." Hu Jun walked out of the door with a smile on his face.
Hu Jun won the best actor award in 2001 through the movie "Lan Yu", so it goes without saying that he has excellent acting skills.
A simple start, from preparation to completion, it only took five minutes.
The actors and staff such as Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei who were watching all raised their smiles and clapped their hands.
——Thundering applause.
Although the play is simple, once it is completed, it represents a good start.
And this time.
The assistant director rushed from one side, targeting Chu Xuan and others.
"Guys, Director Yu said that after a few scenes, we will shoot your scene [In the Wine Shop], about an hour or two later."
Chu Xuan, Lin Zhiying, Liu Yifei and the other two actors were stunned for a moment.
"Is it our turn?"
The assistant director nodded.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other, then nodded to the assistant director, turned around and went to prepare.
"Assistant director, do I have any plans today?" Cheng Hao asked.
The assistant director shook his head: "Teacher Cheng, I don't have any plans for you today."
The assistant director laughed again and said: "Don't worry, [Gathering in Shaolin] is a big drama that takes up two or three episodes of the 40-episode series. We estimate that we will stay here at the Great Buddha Temple for a month and a half."
Cheng Hao suddenly understood and said with a smile: "Okay, I understand, you are busy."
…
Now that all the actors have arrived, the schedule has also been adjusted to other times, and the shooting scenes are concentrated in one area. Zhang Jizhong had already anticipated this situation, so he decided early on to follow the plot of the script for this big drama.
Shoot in order.
No matter what the plot sequence is, it is naturally inseparable from the three main protagonists.
Before the filming of the big scene "Gathering in Shaolin" begins, three scenes involving the three main protagonists need to be shot to serve as an introduction to the big scene.
In the first act, Jiumozhi comes to challenge the Shaolin Temple, which leads Xu Zhu to come forward to fight.
In the second act, after hearing that Azi was in Shaolin, Qiao Feng led the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry to the Central Plains and went to Shaolin to look for Azi.
In the third scene, Duan Yu, Murong Fu, and Wang Yuyan were drinking tea in a wine shop. They heard that the heroes from all over the world were going to gather in Shaolin. Murong Fu decided to go to Shaolin in order to make friends with the heroes and help him regain his country. Wang Yuyan naturally wanted to follow. Duan Yu saw Wang Yuyan.
If you want to go to Shaolin, you can imagine the consequences.
Through the shooting of these three scenes, the three main protagonists were brought together.
What Yu Min is preparing to shoot is the fight scene between the actor who plays Jiumozhi and the actor who plays the Shaolin monk.
There aren't many scenes, but the fighting scenes are a waste of time. If you don't make the right move, you'll be shouted at endlessly, and one or two hours is just a minimum budget.
However, this also gave Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei time to put on makeup.
More than two hours flew by.
In the dressing room, a group of actors' assistants, Wang Jinhua, and Liu Xiaoli were waiting in the outer hall.
When the door to the inner hall was opened, actor Zhao Yong who played Bao Bu Tong and actor Xiu Ge who played Feng Bo evil came out first.
"Handsome!" the assistants laughed.
Zhao Yong and Xiu Ge smiled.
Zhao Yong raised his thumb and pointed backward: "Look back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhiying walked out.
The assistants' eyes lit up: "He's so handsome!"
Lin Zhiying smiled shyly: "Look at the back."
After a while, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei walked out of the door one after another.
The assistants only took one look, and their eyes widened in an instant.
"I seem to have seen an immortal."
Although not so exaggerated, the appearance of these two people makes them look different.
As the old saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.
Especially those costume dramas, once you put on the clothes and put on the makeup, you will look different instantly.
But there is a prerequisite, it must be those who are suitable for wearing ancient costumes.
If it doesn't fit, whoever wears it will be embarrassed.
"These two people..." The assistants thought for a long time but couldn't think of any words to describe them, so they could only say in their hearts: "Absolutely amazing!"
"Chu Xuan, you usually can't tell..." Liu Xiaoli's eyes lit up, she walked up to Chu Xuan and took a few glances, gave a thumbs up and said: "It looks great in ancient costume!"
"Auntie, I usually look good." Chu Xuan smiled.
Liu Xiaoli's expression of admiration turned into a smile, and she patted Chu Xuan on the arm: "You made Auntie laugh again, didn't you?"
"Go to the set quickly, the assistant director just came to urge you." Wang Jinhua said with her arms crossed out of habit.
She had seen Chu Xuan's costume image during the audition, but now she couldn't help but glance at Chu Xuan.
"Leaving aside the acting skills, this image is really eye-catching, much better than those vases in the industry." Wang Jinhua muttered to herself.
If Chu Xuan knew that Wang Jinhua compared him to a vase, I wonder how Chu Xuan would feel.
…
What does it mean to be the center of attention as soon as you appear?
It was probably because Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei had just arrived on the set, and everyone in the audience focused their attention.
"Chu Xuan!"
Chu Xuan tilted his head and looked at Cheng Hao.
"Take a photo with me later!" Cheng Hao pointed at Chu Xuan with a smile in his eyes.
"I want it too." Shi Lan, the actor who plays Ye Erniang, hugged Cheng Hao's shoulders and smiled.
"Count me in." Li Yongyong, the actor who plays Ruan Xingzhu, followed suit.
Chu Xuan smiled, then thought for a moment and said, "There is a fee."
"Tch~" A group of women waved their hands playfully.
"Don't run away later! Sister is here to find you!" Cheng Hao raised his eyebrows and gave Chu Xuan a "wait for me" look.
Speaking of yesterday's banquet, Chu Xuan's performance was still useful.
The actors at the same table and those at nearby tables also had a preliminary impression of Chu Xuan.
They are so familiar with each other that at least they are no longer strangers.
The actors were joking, but Yu Min frowned in front of the director's viewfinder.
"Brother Zhang, Chu Xuan's appearance as Murong Fuguang outshines Duan Yu's. It's not a good thing for a supporting character to overshadow the protagonist in the same scene. Mr. Cha also mentioned this to us."
Yu Min's words made Zhang Jizhong chuckle: "It's okay. The main shot of this scene is originally focused on Murong Fu. The main shot is on Murong Fu, and the secondary shots are on the others. It doesn't matter how dazzling Chu Xuan's Murong Fu is."
After a pause, Zhang Jizhong continued: ""The Legend of Dragons" is amazing. The main character Murong Fu rarely meets the three main characters Duan Yu, Xu Zhu, and Qiao Feng. However, in the novel, the character Murong Fu
It highlights his importance."
Zhang Jizhong admired: "I can only say that Mr. Cha's ability in constructing group portrait stories is really great. Mr. Murong Fu interacts with the protagonist, which is also suitable for us to deeply shape the character of Murong Fu. We have adjusted Murong Fu these days.
The script is not adjusted in vain, and if it is adjusted, it must be implemented into practice."
"Understood." Yu Min smiled and nodded. With Zhang Jizhong's approval, he no longer had any doubts.
"The assistant director started rehearsing the scene, the script notes were made, and the actors were in their places, ready to start!" Yu Min said into the intercom.
