These actors in Dream of Red Mansions learned chess, calligraphy and painting, which are naturally ancient Chinese chess, calligraphy and painting. Asking Professor Zhang to give lectures is just a special case.
Therefore, most of the time, people learn Chinese brush-and-ink landscape painting, and they usually practice Go, Yaoqin, and landscape painting. For example, when it comes to painting, they mostly use brushes to paint landscapes, Qingming Festival, etc.
For things like Riverside Pictures, it has become a convention to use a brush.
Director Ren knows this very well, because Director Ren personally invited these professors, teachers and scholars. The rest of the crew and the director were busy filming, and the other people did not have enough status. After all, they were invited
These experts, professors and scholars are all high-status and big names in the industry. Even if they go to work for the film crew, they may not be able to hire them.
Director Ren thought curiously and said: "If Ye Ming has anything to do, just tell me directly and I can help you solve it. I'll try my best to help you solve it. As for this, let's make it clear first. If it involves funding, you don't need to tell me."
Well, the crew doesn’t have much money, you should know this even if I don’t tell you.”
Director Ren has made this very clear. As long as it is not because of money issues, then everything is easy to say. It can be seen that the crew of Red Mansions is short of money. Although it is not necessary to stop filming, it is definitely very serious.
That's the most stressful step.
Ye Ming had long heard that the crew was financially tight, but this was the first time Director Ren had confirmed such a thing.
At that moment, he said with great certainty: "Director, don't worry, money will definitely not be involved. You said, if our crew is talking about filming, it probably won't be completed in one or two years, right?"
This is for sure, because it is a fact. It would be strange if the filming time for such a TV series is short. The crew of Red Mansions took three years to film it.
Classic stuff has always been about slow work and meticulous work. This does not include the time for writing the script and the crew to establish the project. If included, it would take at least four years.
As the production director, Director Ren naturally said that he knew that this crew could not complete it in a short time. He had to keep track of the progress of the crew's spending. Otherwise, if the money was spent and the filming of the TV series was not completed, Director Ren felt that this
It's the crew's fault.
However, what Director Ren did not expect was that under such a situation, the crew would really reach the point where all the money was spent, but the filming of the scenes was not completed.
The current director thought about it and said: "According to the current progress of our crew, this is indeed a long process. It is estimated to take three years, which is relatively fast."
At this time, Ye Ming also immediately complimented and said: "Director Ren Shengming, this is indeed the truth. Our crew cannot be disbanded in a short time."
Director Ren immediately waved his hand and said: "Sheng Ming, you spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars every day. You can also estimate how long it will take to complete the shooting. Don't talk nonsense. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly."
, I still have something to talk to the director about."
Ye Ming followed behind and said: "This matter is actually not very troublesome. Director, you also know that since it is impossible for the crew to be disbanded in a short period of time, you see, this does not mean that all the young people in our crew are probably
Around 20 years old, right?"
Ye Ming was not lying when he said that the veteran actors in the crew are usually part-time employees of several costume and props staff of the crew. The main actors are all young people selected from auditions across the country. They are usually in their twenties.
Up and down, Deng Jie, who plays Wang Xifeng, is already 23 years old, which is very old among the main actors.
For example, Chen Xiaoxu is only eighteen years old, which is when his love for him first blossomed.
They are all young people. Director Ren did not deny this, but he was waiting for Ye Ming's next words. At this time, Ye Ming immediately said: "That's the truth. We are all young people, and
Most of them come from theater troupes or factories or somewhere else. They all have one common characteristic, which is that they have low education.
Otherwise, it is impossible for Chen Xiaoxu and Zhang Li not to know that Western sketches use pencils instead of brushes. This is a common sense issue for college students. Even if you are not a professional art student in college, you are always exposed to it.
Those who have mastered art should use pencils rather than brushes to describe scenery. This is the foundation of the basics. Therefore, I suggest setting up a cram school for cultural classes."
At this time, Ye Ming was talking to Director Ren about this matter. Director Wang walked over slowly. After seeing Director Ren, he immediately walked over and said, "Old Ren, are you going to get the money from the station?"
The crew seems to be running out of money right now. If the TV station doesn't give us any more money, there is a real possibility that they will stop filming.
Therefore, the one who is actually most anxious is Director Wang.
Dream of Red Mansions is the hard work of Director Wang, and he naturally cherishes it very much. It is not impossible that if the filming is stopped, it will be completely scrapped. If it is really disbanded, and the crew wants to be reunited, that will be
It's very difficult.
Director Ren nodded helplessly and said: "If you want to come over, but it's only five thousand yuan, you can make do with it first?"
Five thousand yuan sounds like a lot. Now workers' wages are generally three to five hundred a year. Five thousand yuan is already a lot for an individual.
But when it comes to the entire Dream of Red Mansions crew, it seems a little underwhelming at a time like this. There are hundreds of people on the crew, eating, drinking, and having sex, all of which require money. When filming, it naturally also requires expenses.
.
And everyone’s salary, which one doesn’t need money? Five thousand yuan, I really can’t hold on for a long time.
At this time, Director Wang also said very helplessly: "Why do you just give me so little? This is bullying."
Director Ren said helplessly: "Old Wang, this is not bad. It is said that the five thousand may not be available next time. I will think of a solution then. You'd better be mentally prepared and think about what will happen."
To solve this problem, well, the Taiwan authorities have also said that it is not that they will not give money, but that there is no money.
Moreover, our side has not been able to send any films for such a long time. Some leaders in the station are also very dissatisfied with this. There is also the problem of Ma Guangru. Some leaders are also very dissatisfied and think that we are
It's a discredit to the station." As for the crew, once a project is approved and filming begins, what does it depend on? In fact, it depends on making a good living.
It's a mule or a horse, let's lead it out for a ride. As for Ma Guangru's problem, in Director Wang's opinion, it was an accident and something that was beyond anyone's control.
For example, the directors of the TV station, who are messing around outside, often make jokes, and it is not the same. Why do they focus on the Dream of Red Mansions crew just by talking about it? One of them is everyone who started the project of Dream of Red Mansions.
There was controversy, and it was said that some leaders in the station wanted to recruit a few actors into the Dream of Red Mansions crew, but Director Wang ruthlessly refused. This also made it difficult for the Dream of Red Mansions crew to get money.
At this moment, Director Wang said helplessly: "Then let's quickly shoot some samples, edit them and send them over to shut up those people. As for what you said about Ma Guangru, we have already dealt with it. Don't listen to other people's nonsense, it will affect
The actor’s emotions.”
Obviously, Director Wang is also an emotional person, not the kind of person who others bully casually, otherwise he would not be able to support a crew as big as Dream of Red Mansions.
Therefore, when it comes to a problem like this, it can be seen that Director Wang's persistence in art. Although Ma Guangru made some mistakes and made some mistakes, our crew has already dealt with them, so others have complained.
If Wai Wai wants to interfere again, then he is meddling in other people's business.
Director Ren smiled bitterly and said: "Old Wang, what you say is better than what you sing. Come on, if you have the ability, you can go to the stage and talk about it yourself. You can speed up the sample film yourself. As for Ma Guangru's matter, let's go back.
Besides." Director Wang glanced at Ye Ming and said: "Little Ye Zi, what are you asking the director for? Are you asking for leave again? No, you just ask Xiao Wang for leave. What are you asking Lao Ren for?
ah."
Ye Ming immediately said with a smile: "Director Wang, actually I just want to discuss something with you and Director Ren. I want to take advantage of my spare time to hold a training class for everyone. Of course it is non-mandatory.
Anyone who wants to come can come, but if he doesn’t want to come, forget it. I’ll help you learn some literary knowledge and so on.”
Then, Ye Ming reiterated what he was worried about.
In fact, this is a relatively big hidden danger for the crew of Red Mansions. For example, Guo Xiaozhen, after filming Dream of Red Mansions, did not pass the film school because her score in the cultural class was not high enough, and then returned to her hometown.
His unit, the Huangmei Drama Troupe, remained unknown all his life.
If Guo Xiaozhen had taken enough cultural classes at that time, then the outcome would have been very useful.
Director Wang listened and hesitated for a moment. When Ye Ming saw the door, he immediately said: "Director, you also saw that our crew gathered everyone together, does it mean that we should be responsible for everyone? Three years, what I just said
But when I asked Director Ren about this drama, Director Ren said that it would be relatively lucky if it took three years to complete the filming. Therefore, should we be responsible for the future of young actors? And after everyone’s literary literacy improves
, it is also very helpful to understand the role.
Otherwise, you see, Chen Xiaoxu and Zhang Li draw a bottle, sketch, it is the simplest common sense question, but they actually use a brush to draw, what do you think this is?
There is no culture in having poetry and calligraphy in one's belly, and it is not good for our shooting."
Director Wang and Director Ren are not easy to fool. Therefore, in such a situation, Ye Ming knows very well that if he wants to impress them, it cannot be accomplished with just two sentences.
It must be done from the perspective of the crew.
Of course, I have to say that Director Wang and Director Ren are not those directors and production directors in the future.
Almost all of these young actors in the crew were selected by Director Wang from among so many actors. They all fit Director Wang's vision and thought they would be in line with the needs of the Red Mansions crew.
It can be said that Director Wang treats these actors as his own children. Therefore, one is to use emotions to impress the director, and the other is to use the crew's actual needs to impress Director Wang. Only with these two-pronged approach can success be achieved.
possible.
Director Wang pondered these questions raised by Ye Ming and said, "This is actually a question. Can you be sure that if we offer cultural classes, will anyone come to listen?"
Ye Ming immediately said: "This is not a mandatory task. Anyway, the crew invited teachers, or the teachers themselves to teach, which is more than enough. As for whether to come to class, that is up to the actors themselves."
The problem is, anyway, the crew is trying their best and doing everything they can to follow fate."
Ye Ming could think of this, and he was actually doing his best for everyone. Director Wang said with some seriousness: "Yi Zi, actually, there are some things that you can't change. If you want to change
As a result, they worked hard and found that in the end, maybe all the things you did were in vain, and that's when you feel the most tragic.
Dream of Red Mansions is a complete tragedy, but life, life is not a complete tragedy.
Perhaps, it is precisely because the Dream of Red Mansions is the same as life, both are complete tragedies, so this novel can truly touch people's hearts and be famous throughout history."
Dream of Red Mansions is called the brightest pearl in the history of Chinese literature. This is not just a casual comment, but has been recognized by history.
Maybe in the future there will be people and novels that will surpass this novel, but, at least for now, Dream of Red Mansions is the greatest literary novel, or even one of the greatest. Maybe this is because no matter what the story of Dream of Red Mansions is, or even this novel
In itself, it is a tragedy, a reason for a complete tragedy.
Ye Ming nodded helplessly and said: "Perhaps it means that I understand this truth, but in such a situation, I feel uneasy with my conscience if I don't do something myself. Maybe what I do does not necessarily mean that I will definitely change them."
fate, but I thought about it, if it meant Wu not to make the call, I would have a guilty conscience.
As for whether it is a useless effort, then the only way is to do your best and obey fate."
