Chapter 425 Factory Prince Wang Zhiwen (4000+ chapters~)
There are many Chinese myths and stories, such as "Journey to the West", "The Romance of the Gods", and "The Legend of the Eight Immortals", which have had a huge influence throughout Southeast Asia.
For example, Yang Jie's version of "Journey to the West" will be released on Hong Kong ATV this year. Xiangjiang ATV conducted a survey and found that most Xiangjiang citizens are very curious about this TV series. This is also the legacy of "A Dream of Red Mansions".
reputation.
Originally, when "A Dream of Red Mansions" was broadcast in Hong Kong, the citizens of Hong Kong naturally believed that domestic TV dramas could not produce good TV dramas. However, with the broadcast of "A Dream of Red Mansions", it immediately attracted the attention of the citizens of Hong Kong. At the same time,
It has also achieved great influence in Southeast Asia.
Now that "Journey to the West" has started airing and the influence of the novel "Journey to the West", naturally they are full of expectations.
In fact, it is not just these three mythical novels, in fact, the ones in them can be derived from countless TV series or movies with independent characters.
And these materials are also the basis for Wu Jianye to expand his influence in China in the future.
And if you ask people in Hong Kong and Taiwan which mythological drama really impressed them, "The Legend of the White Snake" must be among the best.
Even if she were ranked first, there wouldn't be many people who would object.
In another time and space, it is precisely because of this role, coupled with other classic roles, that Zhao Yazhi has become a must-have female character for Hong Kong online writers. It is a pity that I have seen a book
The wonderful Hong Kong novel "Rebirth of Hong Kong: The Feast of the Rich" got 404, that novel will be confiscated by Zhao Yazhi
Now that Wu Jianye wants to expand the influence of China Entertainment, it is naturally impossible to let go of this TV series, and after all, Wu Jianye also promised Zhu Xian.
Zhu Xian laughed and said, "Didn't you say that there were still some problems with the shooting technology at that time? Now they have been solved?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "It has been solved. This year, Tangting Culture will also customize some advanced shooting equipment and post-production equipment abroad. I believe there will be no problem by then!"
Zhu Xian nodded and showed a sweet smile, "Then we have agreed that you will be the director of this TV series!"
At this point, Wu Jianye got a little confused. To be honest, he didn't necessarily have time to be the director of this TV series. At that time, he just said that he would be the director to make Zhu Xian happy. According to Wu Jianye
Ye’s plan is to finish "New Dragon Inn" this year, and then start shooting a romance film to consolidate the European market, and then a science fiction film to open up his reputation in Hollywood. This plan has been scheduled
It’s 90 years later.
However, looking at Zhu Xie's expectant expression, Wu Jianye still smiled and said, "No problem, we will take action together as a husband and wife team when the time comes!"
Only then did Zhu Xian show a satisfied expression.
Although Wu Jianye gave the crew a holiday, Wu Jianye was not so lucky. After spending some time with Zhu Xian at home, he went to Tangting Culture.
As for Li Xiuming, he was already in Shanghai at this time, preparing cold water drinks to cooperate with Shanghai's advertising.
This is the convenience of someone in the DPRK who wants to be an official. The advertising production of Hanshui Drink has always been watched by major advertising companies across the country. Now that it is cooperating with Shanghai TV Station, all advertising companies are naturally flocking to it.
But who made Li Xiu Ming Wu Jianye's pillow?
In order to support his woman in starting a business, Wu Jianye had no choice but to give this advertising cooperation to Li Xiuming's advertising company. However, considering that it was the first time for Li Xiuming to receive such a large advertisement, Wu Jianye found another one in Xiangjiang.
An advertising agency is cooperating.
It is said to be cooperation, but in fact it is assistance.
After arriving at Tangting Culture, Wu Jianye first asked Li Xiaowan how the preparations for filming and other matters were going.
"We have already contacted the Forbidden City, and they have agreed to lend out part of the palace for the filming of the movie!" Li Xiaowan replied.
This shooting will not involve important palaces, and Wu Jianye has already cooperated with the Forbidden City before, so it went relatively smoothly.
In this situation, I believe there will be no more problems in a year. By then, Hengdian Film and Television City will probably have built the Forbidden City, and it will be much more convenient by then.
"Have all the actors who need to be filmed tomorrow been notified? This scene will not take too long. It is estimated that it will be completed in a week. Let them coordinate their time!" Wu Jianye said.
Li Xiaowan smiled and said, "Don't worry, how could they miss Director Wu's play!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said nothing more.
Later, Li Xiaowan reported to Wu Jianye about "The Legend of the Gods". Director Guo Xinling had begun to bring the actors together for training and the script had been created.
Wu Jianye took the script from Li Xiaowan and browsed it through. He was quite satisfied. Although it was only the first draft, it was roughly the same as the plot of "The Legend of the Gods" in another time and space.
It is estimated that after several modifications, the difference will not be too big.
"Okay, just keep an eye on this matter!" Wu Jianye said.
"Yeah, I understand!" Li Xiaowan said.
There aren't many scenes in Yanjing, they are more to pave the way for the subsequent series, and they will focus more on the contradiction between the east and west factories.
In other words, the one who has the most scenes here is Cao Shaoqin, the governor of the East Factory, played by Jet Li.
As for the actor who plays Yu Huatian, the governor of Xichang, they have also been found. It is Wang Zhiwen who graduated from Yanjing Film Academy and now works at the Institute of Chinese Drama!
In the afternoon, Wang Zhiwen came to Tangting Culture wearing a fur coat and long hair.
"Professor Wu!"
Because Wu Jianye is also a teacher at Yanjing Film Academy, students like Wang Zhiwen who graduated from Yanjing Film Academy are willing to call Wu Jianye Teacher Wu.
This is not the first time the two have met. Wu Jianye occasionally goes to school to give lectures, and sometimes he is taken away by teachers from other departments to give lectures to their students. Wang Zhiwen once heard Wu Jianye
class.
"Zhiwen is here, sit down!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Even in later generations, Wu Jianye liked the actor Wang Zhiwen very much and had dinner together. At that time, Wang Zhiwen gave outsiders the impression that he was a bit arrogant, but after getting in touch with Wang Zhiwen, he
You will find that such people live a very simple life.
In their world, performance is a very sacred thing, and he sees it very clearly. He regards it as something sacred. He will work hard to complete his work, but he will not impose his own ideas.
to other people.
To put it bluntly, it means living more in your own world.
At the same time, Wang Zhiwen still retains the arrogance of a literary man, which also helps him put this temperament into his own roles, such as "Having Fun", "Black Ice", "Tiandao", "Mobile Phone", "
Classic TV series such as "Celadon" are enough to make his performance impressive.
However, due to his personality issues, he has always had a bad reputation in the media.
At this time, Wang Zhiwen was thin and fair-complexioned. He was not yet the bald uncle of later generations. He was perfect for playing the role of Yu Huatian.
"How do you read the script?" Wu Jianye asked.
Wang Zhiwen smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wu, I have read the script and there are no problems. Moreover, I have found a prototype for the role of Yu Huatian and a 50,000-word biography of the character."
Wu Jianye smiled, "Really? Which character do you think is the prototype?"
Wang Zhiwen said, "Although it did not appear in the script, in the dialogue, I saw that the character Yu Huatian should have a close relationship with a certain princess in the harem, so I thought of Wei Zhongxian, the great eunuch of the Ming Dynasty.
!”
"Both of them are equally powerful, because the imperial concubine's status in the emperor's heart is such that she can compete with Cao Shaoqin, who has the emperor's trust!"
"Haha!" Wu Jianye laughed loudly and said, "Okay, it seems that you still remember the last time I had a class with you!"
When Wu Jianye was teaching Wang Zhiwen and others, he said that the birth of a character must first appear in the script, then the director's definition of the character, and finally the actor's understanding of the character. If
They are characters who really existed in history. You can learn about this character through their autobiographies or some historical documents.
If this character is fictional, then as an actor, you must have your own understanding of this character. It is best to write a biography for this character based on the information given in the script. In fact, Wu Jianye has done this kind of thing in many places.
I've mentioned it before, but few people take it seriously.
Obviously Wang Zhiwen is one of that small group of people.
Moreover, the character prototype he chose as a reference is also very subtle. In fact, both Cao Shaoqin and Yuhuatian have the shadow of Wei Zhongxian.
It's just that both characters chose part of Wei Zhongxian's character. Now that Wang Zhiwen can answer like this, Wu Jianye is very satisfied!
"Teacher Wu forgot, when I was in school, I was a good student!" Wang Zhiwen joked.
The two chatted for a while, and then Wang Zhiwen left.
The next day!
The Forbidden City, the filming location!
Yu Huatian, played by Wang Zhiwen, has a lazy look, sharp eyes, but also a smile. Looking at Cao Shaoqin, played by Jet Li, he said, "Cao Gong, you are so powerful recently!"
Liang Jiahui, who had no role in the scene, saw Wang Zhiwen's performance, and his eyes immediately lit up. Although he had filmed several movies in China, it was the first time for Liang Jiahui to see such a young actor with such excellent acting skills.
"Director Wu, this is the actor!" he said, giving a thumbs up.
Wu Jianye smiled.
When comparing the two sides, Li Lianjie's performance was immediately suppressed by Wang Zhiwen. In desperation, Wu Jianye had to stop the filming and explained to Li Lianjie Cao Shaoqin's psychological trajectory when he faced Yuhuatian.
"For Yuhuatian, even if you are full of hatred in your heart, you still have to show that you don't care. This is your competitor in the palace. Because of the imperial concubine, you have to still have a trace of envy for him. Understand it.
?"
Seeing Li Lianjie's confused look, Wu Jianye showed a helpless expression.
"Ah Hui, would you like to go over and try?" Wu Jianye said suddenly.
Liang Jiahui immediately showed a hint of excitement.
He took a heater from the hands of the crew members and held it in his arms. His steps were not very big, but he still gave off a vigorous feeling. He walked up to Wang Zhiwen, his eyelids were slightly raised, and he said in a calm tone, "
It’s not as good as Yu Gong. It’s windy and rainy outside. Naturally Yu Gong stays in the palace and doesn’t know how hard I’ve been waiting!”
After finishing speaking, he continued to slightly arch his body and walked away slowly, as if there was no conversation between the two just now, and there was no camera.
After walking outside the crowd, Liang Jiahui stood up straight, regained his expression, and walked back.
Wu Jianye smiled, walked up to Li Lianjie, and said, "Do you understand?"
Li Lianjie's face was slightly red. To be honest, if Wu Jianye came off the stage to tell him the story in person, he wouldn't have much to say. After all, this is a common thing on the crew, but now Wu Jianye just called an actor from the play to talk to him.
In the drama, doesn’t this directly show that his performance is not as good as Liang Jiahui?
However, Wu Jianye didn't care about Li Lianjie's mentality, and just asked again, "Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Li Lianjie finally nodded seriously.
"Okay, let's continue shooting!" Wu Jianye didn't say anything.
Under Liang Jiahui's stimulation, Li Lianjie's performance was indeed much better than before, and this article was passed smoothly.
Wang Zhiwen came to Liang Jiahui in costume and said, "Hello, I am Wang Zhiwen!"
Liang Jiahui also quickly said, "Hello, I am Liang Jiahui!"
"I know, I've seen your movie, it's very good!" Wang Zhiwen said with a smile.
As for Li Lianjie on the side, to be honest, Wang Zhiwen really didn't like it, mainly because Liang Jiahui's pearl was in front of him just now.
Wu Jianye ignored the performances of Wang Zhiwen and Liang Jiahui and walked up to Li Lianjie, "Although action actors do not have such high requirements for acting skills, it does not mean that action actors cannot have acting skills. If you want people to respect you, you have to
Show some real skills."
Li Lianjie nodded heavily.
Wu Jianye said nothing more and started the next shooting.
The filming of the scenes in the past few days was quickly completed, and the filming time happened to be February 2nd. The dragon raises its head!
The filming of the entire movie lasted three months, and the rest is post-production, which is estimated to take two or three months to complete. The archery area also requires special effects.
As Wu Jianye said "It's done!"
The filming of "New Dragon Inn" has officially concluded!
The actor's work is done, but Wu Jianye will not be too relaxed. There is still a lot of follow-up work for this movie that he needs to handle, such as the editing of the movie, dubbing, special effects, etc.
So Wu Jianye just celebrated with the crew at the hotel that day, and then returned to Tangting Culture to prepare for the post-production of the movie.
But at this time, Lao Mouzi came to Tangting Culture with a smile on his face!
