Chapter three hundred and forty-eight small notes of the capital
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, several stories about Sun Wukong have become one of the memories of the times. The contemporary people are more familiar with the Zhang Jinlai version of "Journey to the West" (86 edition). Later children may remember "Journey to the West" produced in 1998.
animation.
There is another image of Sun Wukong that has been widely spread, that is, Sun Wukong in traditional arts such as Peking Opera, Kun Opera and so on.
Before the 1986 version of "Journey to the West", Zhang Jinlai was already a very famous monkey actor, otherwise the director would not have found him to play the role in the first place.
Zhang Jinlai's family is known as the Monkey King Family. When he was a child, he once took a photo with Zhou You, one of the four beauties of the Republic of China. The monkey operas at that time were already very famous. The works at that time had obvious criticisms of the current situation, although the source scripts of those works were often
It dates back to the Qing Ming Dynasty and even the Song Dynasty, but it was not out of date when used at that time.
When the troupe performs, it often draws applause from the whole house.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was no spare money to support literary and artistic workers, so if the people didn't like it, you had to withdraw.
If there is someone who is unwilling to do so, what if he plans to forcefully use an off-board move to deny it?
This is the origin of the sharp comment that "the people like to hear and see, but if you don't like it, who do you think you are?"
"Dragon Palace" is a Peking Opera film released by News Film Studio in 1990. It tells the story of Sun Wukong who went to the Dragon Palace to seek weapons and borrowed the Sea Ding Needle from the Dragon King.
The monkey made a big fuss in the East China Sea Dragon Palace, returned to his own Huaguo Mountain, and became the Monkey King Xiaoyao from then on.
We know the ending of the monkey, but let’s pretend that the story stays at this scene in Huaguo Mountain and let the Great Sage retain his free soul.
Perhaps many middle-aged people with big bellies still hide a boy who is always willing to take risks.
Fang Yi wanted to take a recording of the film and put it at the end of "Return", along with some real action clips, using the great sage as a metaphor for people. With the help of relevant friends, Fang Yi quickly visited the current heir of the Monkey Opera.
Secretary Jiao, the representative of China Film Group, took him to a theater troupe in Beijing and introduced him:
"The Sun Wukong in Peking Opera is a martial artist, divided into northern and southern schools. The northern school includes Yang Xiaolou, Hao Zhenji, Li Wanchun...the southern school includes Zheng Faxiang, Gai Jingtian...I think you have heard of it more or less, especially Yang Xiaolou
, nicknamed "Yang Monkey King", the teachers we saw today all come from famous families."
"The Sword Comes"
There were a bunch of actors, big and small, standing in the theater. They looked at Fang Yi curiously.
The leader of the troupe clapped his hands and said, "Show the director what you have in your hands. After ten or twenty years of hard training, you are not just a showman."
Immediately, the actors were like dexterous apes, jumping in the air on the ground. Their body movements were powerful and beautiful. They could still maintain their balance in the air, and they could do several somersaults in a row from one end of the stage to the other.
.
Although these people have never studied "acting without physical objects" and do not follow the contemporary theatrical performance route, they not only have similar movements, but also have similar demeanor to the animals. On the empty stage, the actors cooperate with each other and perform a few simple movements.
, but it seems like people can see flowing water and mountains and forests.
The group leader also wanted the actors to do some tough work, such as flying in the air for two and a half weeks, but Fang Yi thought that was enough.
He said shockingly, "I kind of regret coming here to watch your performance."
The actors looked disappointed, and some looked at Fang Yi slightly angrily. Secretary Jiao was startled and was about to make amends with Fang Yi.
But I heard him continue, "I originally wanted to record a video and insert it into the movie... But this is just an idea. I may or may not edit it in. I didn't know you were so enthusiastic about it.
I worked hard with unreasonable demands, and I heard that some people came all the way from Shanghai, but I still want to put the film first... It is possible that I shot a very good clip, but in the end I couldn't stay."
"If I can't keep it by then, I feel very sorry for you."
The atmosphere was relieved. The leader laughed and said, "We are all trained monkey actors. Director Fang, of course you are a great director.
We are famous all over the world, but don’t pity us, we also have our own persistence.”
Secretary Jiao patted his chest, "Director Fang is really out of breath when he talks."
The actors introduced two representatives, one big and one small. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but there happened to be one person each from the Magic City and the capital, a forty-year-old Master Yan and a thirty-year-old Master Wei.
In the end, only one of the two masters could show his face, and he still had to wear stage makeup, so it was impossible to see what the real person looked like. Maybe there was only four or five seconds of footage in the movie.
Fang Yi made up his mind that no matter what, these two people would be written on the later subtitles of the movie at the same time.
Then, he began to explain the film's storyboards and moves to the two actors in as plain language as possible.
Master Yan and Master Wei learned very quickly. They competed to see who could understand faster and started to answer Fang Yi's questions. Fang Yi still talked about what he had already said in a slow and leisurely manner. As an experienced actor, he could be considered half a microcosm.
An expert on facial expressions, he will not stop until he confirms that neither master looks suspicious.
Secretary Jiao reminded the two masters, "Pack your things and go to Jinling. Director Fang's crew is right there."
Fang Yi asked them to stay in the capital, "I'm going to change venues soon."
Secretary Jiao was surprised, "So fast?"
"Fast?"
"Let director Chen Kaige do the filming. We haven't even left school yet."
"Everyone has their own style. I'm still young and energetic, so I shoot fast."
According to the shortcoming effect, generally speaking, a director who is not energetic enough is the shortcoming of the crew.
Secretary Jiao rubbed his old legs, which were weak from too many steps, "Yes, I can feel it. You are really strong."
China Film invested RMB 20 million in this movie, accounting for 20%. After the script of "Seventeen Again" was reviewed, it somehow found its way into Han Sanping's hands. He was overjoyed, thinking that this would be a hit movie in 2011, with a single market share.
The first film to break the billion mark.
We must focus on supervision and escort. We must be as ruthless to our enemies as the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves, and we must be as warm to our comrades as spring. We must never allow a talented director to be wronged so that he cannot continue his career as a director.
Therefore, Secretary Jiao is also the representative of China Film Group in "Seventeen Again" and is responsible for helping Fang Yi solve the troubles encountered during filming.
He received the first task given to him by Fang Yi:
Rent New York Times Square for six hours.uuReading www.uukanshu.com
Given Fang Yi Studio's reputation, the New York City government may not bother to pay attention to him, but China Film Group, which is solely responsible for the import of Hollywood movies, is different. The "中" prefix is well-known overseas, and it is an absolutely high-quality partner.
"It seems that you are really going to have a big scene, Director Fang. I will try my best to help you contact him."
Secretary Jiao added, "There is currently no film crew in China that has gone to Times Square for filming. This is my first time. You'd better be mentally prepared for things that might not go well. And we don't know how much it will cost."
On the other side, Lao Ke, a foreign expert who also flew back to base, was selecting lucky candidates who volunteered to work overtime. This was truly "voluntary" because Fang Yi did not allow exploitation in his project.
In order to attract people, Lao Ke chose to give his speech on the low second floor of the base.
His manuscripts were received from the ground all the way to the underworld:
"It's faster and more economical. Let's start the battle to defend the special effects production of the movie "17 Again"; if you work overtime for a long time, you can sleep peacefully after death; open up the pattern, have the belief to win, the iron will, and the uniform pace!"
"The life of our special effects people is a life of dedication and a life without regrets. Only overtime and dedication can make us worthy of our youth... When we look back on our lives, we can proudly say..."
Lao Ke waved his fist and swore, his voice hoarse until his voice broke, "I am a glorious special effects man!"
After the speech, Lao Ke asked his staff to collect team members who "volunteer" to sign up to participate in the special effects production of "Seventeen Again".
"One, two, three..." With saliva on his fingers, he flipped through employee resumes with familiarity, and the numbers in his mouth became slower and slower.
The situation is not optimistic, and he has not yet done enough to mobilize.
The originally scheduled group of twenty-eight people turned out to be only eleven people.
