Starlight's film and television drama production meetings have now developed a strict process.
After the character discussion, the next step is the props discussion.
"Teacher Li Yushuang, Teacher He Zhengjun, Teacher You Li, Teacher Wang Quanyou, Teacher Zong Liqun, Teacher Zhang Wei, Teacher Zhan Weihua, Teacher Zhang Tong, Teacher Zhang Xiaojun, Teacher Jiang Shui, your clothes are all ready, let's go now
Try it?"
Li Yushuang and others stood up after hearing this and went directly to change clothes.
Zhan Weihua, Zhang Tong, Zhang Xiaojun, Jiang Shui and others all trembled and quickly became humble.
"You can just call us by our names. We can't afford to be called teachers."
They were both older and younger, but they really didn't have much status in the entertainment industry. This was the first time for them to be called teacher. They were very uncomfortable and ashamed.
The prop pursed his lips and smiled, without saying much, and led them to the back.
Not long after, several actors who played the Eighth Route Army in the TV series appeared.
But seeing the appearance of these people, many people find it difficult to accept them.
"Teacher Li Yushuang's clothes are too sloppy, doesn't it affect her image?"
Zhang Guangbei had filmed many Anti-Japanese War dramas, and when he saw Li Yushuang looking like an old country farmer, he felt awkward.
But Colonel Zheng was so impressed.
"This costume is just right."
He walked to Li Yushuang, Yu Li and others and explained to everyone carefully.
"It was the war years and hard times. Our Eighth Route Army was in great difficulty and lacked all kinds of daily necessities, so we couldn't be particular about the image even if we wanted to. You see, these are photos from that era. The crew can say that they have restored it very well."
Colonel Zheng showed everyone the real appearance of the Eighth Route Army in history. In fact, the costumes made by the crew were not really in place. But compared to those nondescript ones with mousse on their heads and stockings on their feet, this look is definitely realistic enough.
Feeling it.
Xiao Qian stood up and walked among several actors.
He participated a lot in the styling design this time.
"You see, these clothes are actually related to the character's image and personality. Li Yunlong is a rough guy and a bumpkin, so his clothes are the sloppiest. His hat is not right, and his clothes are not neat, but this character's image is clearly
It was erected.”
He compared it with He Zhengjun.
"Political Commissar Zhao Gang is a college student with a high level of education and comes from a big city. So as you can see, although his clothes are equally simple, they are clean and not stained with dust. Think about it, if Political Commissar Zhao is similar to Li Yunlong
Yes, isn’t it very inconsistent?”
Everyone laughed, and they didn't expect that just the difference in roles could lead to so many opinions on the costumes.
In the past, when creating costumes, most of the considerations were the character's status, gender, age, etc., but in "Bright Sword", even if the same costume is worn on different people, there are so many differences.
"Kong Jie and Li Yunlong have similar backgrounds, but they have stable and honest personalities and are the most obedient to orders. Therefore, his clothes can be dirty but not messy."
Everyone took a look and found that the clothes you wore were indeed as dirty and greasy as Li Yunlong's. However, the clothes were neatly worn and he had more military discipline than Li Yunlong.
When we arrived at Ding Wei's place, his clothes were even cleaner than those of Zhao Gang.
The character Ding Wei in the play can be regarded as a resourceful type. He only takes advantage and does not suffer losses. He must calculate the minimum loss in every battle.
To use a modern saying, Ding Wei can be regarded as a refined self-interested person.
For such a person, a clean image is the best foil.
When it comes to people like Zhang Dabiao, Wei Dayong, Duan Peng, and Sun Desheng, what needs to be highlighted even more is their recklessness and bloody courage, so their looks have become even more rugged.
There are more than 30 leading actors in "Bright Sword", and everyone's costumes have been carefully crafted by the props team. The props team has prepared thousands of pieces of information, detailing whether every pattern is in line with the flavor of the times.
It’s okay to say that the costumes of the Eighth Route Army are so exquisite. When they saw the costumes of the Japanese characters in the play, many actors who appeared in Starlight works for the first time understood what professionalism meant.
After clothing, there are weapons and props.
The staff in charge of this aspect made a regular list, and the big dogs read it and called them experts.
However, Xiao Qian saw the problem at a glance and immediately said: "Replace the M3 submachine gun used by the Yamamoto special agent team inside with the German MP38 or 40."
Prop looked confused and didn't know what the problem was.
Xiao Qian slapped the table directly.
"Do you think that the M3 submachine gun was a weapon of World War II that could be used by the Yamamoto Special Agents? Check the history. The M3 submachine gun was only developed by the United States in 1942 and was only equipped with troops in 1943. The time is not right, and the U.S.
With the relationship between Japan and Japan, where can the Yamamoto Special Agents get the M3 submachine gun?"
The props quickly bowed their heads to admit their mistake and hurriedly prepared them again.
Others were shocked when they saw Xiao Qian actually opening his mouth to reveal such obscure historical data.
No wonder he is a big shot, he is really powerful.
Because of its handsome appearance, the M3 submachine gun often appears in domestic war movies. It is also the type of submachine gun that ordinary audiences are most familiar with. But it is definitely not suitable for the Yamamoto agent team in "Bright Sword". If Xiao Qian didn't point it out, this matter would probably be
Fooled over.
In the original version of "Bright Sword", the prop used was the M3 submachine gun. After the broadcast, it was indeed pointed out by military fans.
But it is harmless and does not affect the classic "Bright Sword".
Is it better than the Japanese army charging with AK47 and Yan Shuangying using AWP to snipe?
But when it comes to Xiao Qian, he can't even make such minor mistakes.
Although after switching to MP38, Yamamoto Agent Team is not so cool, it is better than going against historical common sense.
Costumes and props are just small items in "Bright Sword". The real test for everyone is yet to come.
"Starting today, everyone will begin to receive a three-month military training. Time is tight and the tasks are heavy. During this period, everyone must master the military terminology and military actions of that era."
When they heard that special training was required, all the actors grinned bitterly.
I felt it was very hard when I went to school for military training. Now I have to undergo paramilitary training, and I have to lose my skin even if I don't die.
But no one dared to object, and they knew that this was the attitude of the crew to make a good drama.
Xiao Qian attaches more importance to battle scenes than to being submissive.
The original version of "Bright Sword" is a classic, and it's really good at every aspect. Especially the battle scenes, they don't match the plot at all.
For example, the scene where the cavalry company charges was completely lacking in momentum due to problems with the shooting technology and actors.
There are also charge tactics, bayonet tactics, etc. There are many mistakes.
Xiao Qian wants to create a TV series that is like a movie, so in terms of production, he has only one requirement, and that is to strive for excellence.
To achieve the effect he needs, the actor's professionalism is very necessary.
After the props team and the training team, there is the filming team.
"We inspected about two dozen places. Overall, the most suitable places for shooting are Shanxi and northern Shaanxi. There are no ready-made shooting bases in those places, so we need to build them ourselves."
Most of the stories in "Bright Sword" take place in Shanxi, a typical loess mountainous terrain. Therefore, there are not many places to choose from for filming.
Building a shooting base yourself will obviously greatly increase the cost. With Starlight's style, it is obvious that the cost will not be concerned.
Quality is always Starlight's top priority when filming.
"Okay, this is our next work. Everyone works hard and strives to produce a good work that can be remembered forever. See you again in four months."
Although Xiao Qian is the director of "Bright Sword", he will not personally handle the early preparations.
Starlight's crew has a clear division of labor, and there are dedicated people responsible for the preliminary work.
This is the benefit of industrialization of film and television. Even if directors and producers do not do everything personally, the people below can clearly understand their responsibilities.
Only when it comes to filming is the battlefield for him as a director and producer.
Because how to shoot and how to shoot well are all artistic issues.
Art is always subjective. Whether it is good or bad depends on the director's thoughts.
Human energy is indeed limited.
When Xiao Qian decided to focus on the film and television field, his influence in the music field inevitably declined.
At this year's pop music festival, for the first time, he did not win the Best Composer of the Year and the Best Lyricist of the Year.
Fortunately, Zhou Huajian worked hard and won the best album of the year. Otherwise, Starlight's singer would have missed out on three major awards for the first time.
"Look, what do these reports say? They say your influence is no longer there."
Li Qingjue waved the newspaper with a cheerful smile, just like Xiao Qian's fan.
I don’t know what makes her happy about the outside world questioning Xiao Qian.
However, the issue of music is indeed worthy of discussion.
