China Entertainment started from 198o. Chapter 423 of the main text volume is difficult to shoot. Martial arts is a myth for adult men!
Enjoying grudges and fighting swords is an enviable lifestyle. Every man has thought about such a scene, hoping that he can become the protagonist in martial arts, live a free and easy life, and have a wanton attitude.
But at this time, "New Dragon Gate Inn" gave martial arts another way. If we talk about the martial arts masters in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the 1960s and 1970s, then there must be Jin Yong and Gu Long!
Jin Yong redefines martial arts, serving the country and the people, only then can he be the greatest martial artist!
Gu Long's martial arts is more pure, the treacherous world, and all kinds of strange characters, especially the women in Gu Long's works, have always been unique in style and unforgettable.
"New Dragon Gate Inn" takes into account the characteristics of both of them. Zhou Huaian serves the country and the people, a great chivalrous person, and Mo Yan, who understands righteousness deeply, loves deeply in his heart, is gold inlaid with jade, is domineering, and has various charms.
Finally, the theme is sublimated and faced with Cao Shaoqin who brought disaster to the country and the people!
For the movie "New Dragon Inn", the most important scene is the final desert battle.
Desert War is called a monument in the history of martial arts by later generations and has become a classic in the hearts of countless people, not only because of how exciting the four-person battle designed by Cheng Xiaodong is.
Also because in this duel, a character suddenly appeared, Diao Buyu!
At the moment of life and death, Diao Buyu suddenly appeared and scraped Cao Shaoqin's leg with his hand. The flesh on his hand was revealed to be white bones!
In the past martial arts, this kind of thing has never happened. It seems that small characters can always only be embellishments in martial arts movies or martial arts, and never become the protagonist.
Even if it is the traditional method of extermination and revenge at this time, the only ones who survive will always be the legitimate sons of the family, who then remain anonymous and finally avenge the family!
The existence of small characters is just to create a more tragic atmosphere.
But this time "New Dragon Inn" is different, the little guy Diao Buyu becomes the key.
In Wu Jianye's memory, even decades later, when Internet articles were rampant, this was still the case. For example, in the case of divorced marriages, only the eldest son of a declining family or the bastard of a big family would receive this treatment. Or in other genres, the protagonist always has a very unnatural background.
It’s not that this is bad, but it will always make readers and viewers feel tired after a long time.
In this regard, among what Su Xian has seen, the best anti-routine description is Mao Ni's "Jiang Ye"!
The General's Mansion was wiped out, and a child escaped. Relying on his diligence and intelligence, he counterattacked step by step and became an indispensable talent for the empire. Everyone was guessing that he should be the surviving young master of the General's Mansion. .
Even in the end, in order to appease Ning Que, the emperor enfeoffed everyone in the General's Mansion, but no one ever thought that Ning Que was actually just the son of the concierge of the General's Mansion, an insignificant person who did not even have a word in the long scroll of history. A little person who cannot be left behind.
In the battle between Ning Que and the general Xia Hou, His Majesty the Emperor issued several imperial edicts, but what happened? Those who were enfeoffed were just people from the general's palace, so what did they have to do with Ning Que?
As an aside, although the adaptation of fantasy IPs has become a trend in later generations, there are very few truly high-quality ones. Most of them made Wu Jianye feel that they were insulting the intelligence of the original readers, but there are always exceptions to things. The adaptation of the two works "Jiang Ye" and "Celebrating More Than Years" really makes people feel that someone is still doing things seriously.
Talking back to today's shooting, everyone knows that this scene is the most critical scene in the entire drama. From Wu Jianye's increasingly irritable temper in the past two days, we can see how much he values this scene.
Before the filming started, Cheng Xiaodong had already led all the actors, designed many scenes, and conducted several rehearsals, but the rehearsals were not actual filming after all.
Problems will still occur.
Cheng Xiaodong looked at Wu Jianye with some difficulty in making a decision: "Director Wu, do you really want Mo Yan's character to die in this scene?"
When the filming of this drama began, Cheng Xiaodong had already read the script, but Cheng Xiaodong always had his own ideas about Mo Yan's death.
"If Mo Yan dies, how can we shoot a sequel to "New Dragon Inn" without a protagonist?"
Long before the filming of the movie started, Wu Jianye had already told Cheng Xiaodong that he would make "New Longmen Inn" into a series, otherwise he would not include the temple battle and the conflict between the East Factory and the West Factory in the movie.
There was a fight.
But as the female lead in the first film, Mo Yan died like this, which will obviously have a huge impact on the filming of the sequel.
Cheng Xiaodong was actually very conflicted about Mo Yan's death. The touching part of this scene was that before Mo Yan died for Zhou Huai'an, the two of them poured out their love for each other, which could earn the audience's tears.
Cheng Xiaodong was reluctant to let Mo Yan "die", but he was worried that if Mo Yan didn't "die", the play would not be touching.
So Cheng Xiaodong was very confused at this time.
Wu Jianye naturally understands Cheng Xiaodong's dilemma. Just like the previous filming of "A Better Tomorrow", in Fengge Entertainment's version of the "A Better Tomorrow" trilogy, the first and third prequels of "A Better Tomorrow" are
The two films in the entire series have the best box office and reputation, and in the second film, Ponyboy is replaced by Ajian. Although it is still Ponyboy's sty1e, everyone still prefers Ponyboy.
"Mo Yan is just the heroine of this movie. When the sequel is filmed, there will definitely be new characters appearing. The movie "New Dragon Inn" will adopt the same narrative method as that of "A Better Tomorrow." The second part and
The third prequel!”
In fact, the narrative method of this type of movie series is more based on the normal flow of time in Hong Kong. The real prequel and huge hit was the "Infernal Affairs" series that was later launched by Hong Kong Film to save the market.
"As for Mo Yan's death, it would be better to let Liang Jiahui express his opinion." Wu Jianye suddenly named Liang Jiahui, who was listening to the play.
However, Liang Jiahui did not refuse. He smiled and said: "Of course I have to die, because only if Mo Yan dies can the main line of the movie be better highlighted, and at the same time, it can make the movie more touching and resonate with the audience!"
Cheng Xiaodong naturally knows what the best choice is, but it's just because he has poured his feelings into "New Dragon Gate Inn", especially Mo Yan in it, and he just doesn't want this character to die based on his personal feelings.
"Okay, everyone is ready to shoot!" Wu Jianye ordered.
Everyone was ready to shoot, and the next scene was the scene where Zhou Huaian, Mo Yan, Jin Xiangyu, and Cao Shaoqin were buried alive in the desert.
In order to avoid the pain of being buried alive while standing, a box was actually placed under the four of them for them to sit and film the scene. He Qing has a background in Kun Opera. When he saw the box, he immediately spread his legs and stood firm.
Sit down, this posture is actually the most correct. As for Liang Jiahui and Zhang Manyu, they didn't think of this. They just sat down casually.
As a result, I felt uncomfortable when the yellow sand had just buried my calves. When the yellow sand passed my buttocks, I felt even more uncomfortable. I couldn't help but sway from side to side. The filming hadn't officially started yet, and I had to wait until it reached my waist.
meeting.
However, I still have to admire their professionalism. Although they felt uncomfortable, they still insisted on finishing the scene and waited until the staff fished them out.
Zhang Manyu was dressed roughly and said: "It's so hard!"
Liang Jiahui also had a look of pain on his face: "I will never film a costume drama again!"
Because of his good skills and the fact that his body had recovered a long time ago, He Qing even said with a smile: "I feel nothing? Besides, this is not the most painful!"
Of course, this is not the most painful thing. The most painful thing about shooting this movie is the desert environment and the high-intensity shooting work.
The environmental background in the desert is harsh, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large. Coupled with dryness and other reasons, the actors have more or less suffered from some minor illnesses. Shortly after He Qing was injured, Liang Jiahui also
She caught a cold, but Zhang Manyu, who seemed more delicate, had never been sick.
There was also the windy weather here. Once, He Qing and Zhang Manyu were changing clothes and preparing to take pictures. Suddenly a strong wind blew outside. He Qing thought that it was still possible to take pictures in such weather, so he stopped changing his clothes.
Zhang Manyu on the side did not think so much and continued to change clothes. As a result, when the two of them walked out of the guest room, there was already a wind and sand blowing outside. Only the silhouettes of people could be seen vaguely in the wind and sand. After the wind and sand passed, the crew would
The roll call started immediately, for fear that someone would be missed...
The same goes for the high intensity of work. As the filming of the movie comes to an end, the intensity becomes more and more intense. It often lasts for several days, with 20 hours of continuous announcements. To say that I am not tired would be a lie.
.
The longest announcement for this movie was 36 hours...
The impact of wind and sand is not limited to these. For example, in the scene we just finished filming, after the four people were dragged out of the sand by the staff, they all inhaled a large amount of sand, and every actor was coughing violently.
, at this time someone immediately brought clean water and asked them to rinse their mouths.
He Qing immediately ran to the guesthouse, found cotton balls, and tried to plug his ears and nose.
When Wu Jianye saw this, he quickly asked: "What are you doing?"
Because He Qing's nose had been blocked, He Qing's voice had a strong nasal sound and said: "Block the wind and sand!"
Wu Jianye said helplessly: "The wind and sand are so big, what if the cotton ball is sucked in and blocks the respiratory tract?"
He Qing's face turned red, "Oh!" Then he took out the cotton balls in his ears and nose. Seeing Wu Jianye say this, other actors also gave up this behavior.
Wu Jianye then began to tell the actors, "During the filming, if you feel uncomfortable, you must immediately remind the staff and director present, because you are the most real feelings on the set. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable again because of the filming."
Injuried!"
This shows Wu Jianye's concern for these actors and his responsibility for the film. After all, everyone is filming seriously at this time. Even if they are injured sometimes, they may not be able to feel it. This is different from that of later generations.
There is a big difference, but there have been enough complaints, so there is no need to say it again.
The professionalism of actors in this era is beyond words.
After the confrontation scene was over, it was time for Cao Shaoqin to chase them down.
It was going to be another hardship for He Qing and Zhang Manyu. The two rolled down in the wind and sand. This shot alone was shot six or seven times. After the shooting, the two girls' eyes were red.
In order to allow the actors to devote themselves more fully to the filming of the movie, Wu Jianye even temporarily recruited some masseurs. After these actors finished filming the action scenes, masseuses would immediately give them on-site massages to relieve their pain.
of fatigue.
This also makes these masseurs the most popular group on the set.
After resting for a while, the next shooting was the fight between Cao Shaoqin and Mo Yan. This was a running and fighting scene, which was a great test for the photographer's skills, and it was also a test for the actors, although they had rehearsed it before.
, but problems still occurred during the actual shooting.
"Ouch!"
He Qing couldn't help but scream.
"Click!"
Wu Jianye and other crew members gathered around again and saw that He Qing's nails were chipped.
"It doesn't matter!" He Qing looked down at his fingertips, which he kept fiddling with.
Li Lianjie said uneasily: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't pay attention just now."
He Qing endured the pain and smiled: "It's okay, Brother Jie, don't take it to heart!"
At this time, the doctor in the team came over and bandaged He Qing briefly. Wu Jianye asked: "Is it serious?"
He Qing: "It's okay, you can continue shooting!"
Surrounded by dedicated actors and staff, He Qing has become accustomed to such minor injuries. During the filming of this movie, He Qing felt that he had not suffered as many injuries in his life as he had suffered in the past two months.
But it is precisely because of this that He Qing is like a sponge at this time, working hard to learn from these professional actors.
I believe that after the baptism of this movie, He Qing's acting career will definitely be different from another time and space.
"Okay, let's take a rest and prepare to continue shooting for a while!" Wu Jianye nodded and said nothing more.
.......
After today's scene ended, everyone returned to the hotel.
"Director Cheng, Zhao Fei, everyone should hurry up on the remaining scenes and try to finish filming the Dunhuang scenes before the beginning of the new year!" Wu Jianye ordered.
The time has entered 1988, and the scenes in the Gobi Desert are coming to an end, and then there are the scenes in the ancient city of Jiayuguan, but there are only part of the scenes there, and the filming period will be over in about four or five days, and then everyone can finish.
As for the filming situation here, there are not many scenes in Beijing, only Jet Li and Liang Jiahui are needed.
In other words, the scenes between Zhang Manyu and He Qing in "New Dragon Gate Inn" can be completed!
