Chapter 146: Visiting the Class

The old friends have arrived at the door, and Yi Qing naturally has no reason not to visit, after all, they have been together for more than half a year, and the revolutionary friendship has decided to make steel.

This time, the Red Mansion crew returned to Beijing and lived in the previous Old Summer Palace Guest House, and the new station is heard to be much better than the previous place, at least in terms of environment.

This is not because the crew has money and can have luxury, but because the Old Summer Palace Guest House is ready to be demolished.

The government department probably finally remembered to protect the ruins of the Old Summer Palace, and began planning at the beginning of this year, and the guest house where Yi Qing lived for more than half a year was also within the scope of demolition.

Yi Qing went out early in the morning, and specially borrowed a tricycle from the unit, the body was full of all kinds of delicious food, and the crew lacked mouths, these things were indispensable.

He has also been in the crew for more than half a year, and the food of the crew can no longer be simply described as "unpalatable", originally the actors are mostly young people, as the saying goes, "half the size of the child, eat the old man", at the age when he can eat, who can afford three meals of radish and cabbage a day.

In the past, when Yi Qing was still in the group, he often went home to get some delicious food to share with everyone, and occasionally relieved his cravings, but now that he has money, he naturally has to treat these old friends well.

After two hours, Yi Qing found the station of the Red Mansion crew, a very beautiful building, and a small square at the door, which has indeed improved a lot in terms of living environment, the former Yuanmingyuan Guest House is old and broken, and when you fall asleep, the wall skin can suddenly fall off and pat your face, the cement at the door of the guest house is cracked and broken, and every time it rains, a few people have to fall inside.

Compared with the two, you can hang stars here, far away, Yi Qing suddenly saw two familiar figures on the side of the fountain nymphomaniac.

"Brother Xiaodong, Sister Shen Lin!"

Yi Qing shouted, but the response was not a warm hug, but the panicked expressions of the two people, and the eyes full of complaints, Wu Xiaodong was even more frightened, and almost fell into the reservoir.

Wu Xiaodong ran to him in a few steps, looked around with a panicked face, and said, "What are you shouting, be careful to let people see it!"

Shen Lin followed behind Wu Xiaodong, although he didn't speak, he was clearly complaining.

Yi Qing looked at it and couldn't help but roll his eyes, I am afraid that even Director Wang knows about the two of you, that is, the little old man is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, otherwise, he would have beaten the mandarin duck a long time ago.

"Okay! Yi Qing said and got out of the car, "You didn't go to film today!?"

Wu Xiaodong first glanced at the back bucket of the tricycle, and immediately smiled: "Oh! The director and director have gone to Hebei to inspect the filming site, Xiao Yi, what good things are they bringing!"

As he spoke, he was about to stretch out his hand, but was slapped back by Yi Qing.

"What's the hurry, I'll have your share later. Yi Qing said and pushed the cart forward, "You just said, where did Director Wang and the director go?"

Wu Xiaodong's eyes still didn't leave the things in the car body, and replied casually: "Hebei! What's wrong?"

Hebei!

Yi Qing remembered that in the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions", there were several major scenes that were filmed somewhere in Hebei, and he also remembered that a certain big man was accumulating qualifications in that place at the moment, and he was ready to soar into the sky.

The three of them walked to the door of the hotel, and Wu Xiaodong stood downstairs and shouted: "Comrades, come and see, who is coming?"

For a moment, many windows were pushed open, and heads poked out.

"Xiao Yi! It's Xiao Yi!"

"Really!"

"Xiao Yi, what good things did you bring us?"

"Sisters, hurry down, I see it, it's full of cars, it's all delicious, hurry up!"

Without ten seconds of effort, Hula ran out a large group of people, so many old friends came to greet him, Yi Qing was deeply moved, but before he could say hello, he was pushed away by Chen Xiaoxu, who was running at the front, and then his tricycle was surrounded.

"What is this? instant noodles, what are you bringing noodles for?"

"Sausages, and big elbows, I haven't eaten meat in days!"

"Don't rob, don't rob, don't rob!"

"Give me one, give me one!"

These guys who have forgotten their friends.

In an instant, a cart full of delicious food was divided, that is, their appetite was not good enough, and they were afraid that they would not be able to digest it, otherwise the tires of the tricycle would be chewed by these people.

After sharing the food, everyone remembered that there was another person next to them, and they all gathered around, shouting at Yi Qing and asking for warmth, very willingly.

"Xiao Yi, how are you doing, this sausage is good, remember to bring more next time!"

"Xiao Yi, I see how you are still thin, you have to strengthen your nutrition, I didn't grab the biscuits, I want to bring them to me next time!"

"Xiao Yi, it's great that you can come, I haven't seen you for so long, I miss you, do you still have it in your pocket?

I shouldn't have come!

This is a friend who came from afar, and it is clearly a group of refugees who have fled the famine, and all they have in their minds is food.

"Xiao Yi!

Yi Qing looked over and saw that it was Teacher Zhou Ling, and suddenly felt cordial, and looked at others, but they didn't mention food.

"Teacher Zhou!"

Zhou Ling smiled: "You can still think of coming over to see us, not bad, not bad!"

Yi Qing hurriedly said: "Look at what you said, I am also a member of the crew, just say that Liu Xianglian's filming is over, but you can't treat me as an outsider!"

said that he also put on a look of grievance.

Seeing this, Zhou Ling laughed and said: "Yes, yes, yes, it's all a family, don't stand at the door, come in, and you, there will be classes later, hurry back and prepare!"

Immediately the crowd scattered.

"Xiao Yi, wait for us to get out of class later, let's talk again!"

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, I haven't seen you for a long time, let's talk for a while!"

Yi Qing responded one by one, and when everyone left, Zhou Ling said: "Let's go, go to my house for a while, let's talk too, you kid is really good at tossing, we heard about it when we were in Hangzhou!"

Yi Qing knew that Zhou Ling was talking about "I Love My Family", but he didn't expect that the previous controversy would spread so far, and Hangzhou would know about it.

followed Mr. Zhou Ling into the house, and as soon as Zhou Ling sat down, he asked about "I Love My Home": "Although I haven't watched the sitcom you made, I have heard some friends talk about it. ”

"What do you think?"

"Don't say anything else, you can boldly try new things, just for this reason, I admire you kid, and I don't dare to change it to others. ”

It is true that I don't dare, the current Chinese people are used to following the rules, especially those who have come from that era, they are cautious and never dare to cross the thunder pool half a step.

"I'm also forced to have no choice, we need money to make a TV series, but where do we have money, we can only save money!"

Zhou Ling listened, and also sighed: "Yes, money, you need money, our Red Mansion crew doesn't need money the same!"

Although the filming of Red Mansion was successfully resumed after the year, the dilemma of lack of money is still bothering Wang Fulin and others, and no one knows where the next money is, so they can only pick and search, and break the penny into two halves.

"Xiao Yi, ask you something!"

Yi Qing saw that Zhou Ling's expression suddenly became serious, and he could naturally guess what he wanted to ask.

"Mr. Zhou, do you want to say that Beijing Film Studio is going to shoot Dream of Red Mansions?"

Zhou Ling nodded and said with a wry smile: "There are already many people who are not optimistic about our crew, but now Beijing Film Studio is also joining in the fun, people are rich, and all the big stars invited are invited, I am afraid it will be more difficult for our crew in the future!"

Yi Qing had learned in his previous life that when Beijing Film Studio announced that it would shoot the film version of "Dream of Red Mansions", some people said that they would stop filming the TV series version of "Dream of Red Mansions", and also listed a lot of reasons, in short, in the face of such a strong enemy, there is no need to continue filming, and it will only be a waste of money to continue filming.

But the end result?

The movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions" was short in the pan and soon fell silent, while the TV series version of "Dream of Red Mansions" finally soared into the sky and became a classic when everyone was not optimistic.

In the next few decades, there were still many film and television dramas with the theme of Red Mansions, but the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" has never been surpassed.

Even in the era of Yi Qing's rebirth, the story of the Red Chamber was remade again, but as long as the 87 version was taken out, it would still be blown into slag.

Many people have doubts about this, after all, decades later, the film and television equipment and production methods are getting better and better, and the investment is getting bigger and bigger, but why can't it surpass the previous work? Why is the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" always regarded as a classic, but some later shots have become the target of public criticism?

Yi Qing, as a person who has come over, naturally knows the reason, the reason why the 87 version has become a classic and is difficult to surpass is not because of a certain reason, but because of many factors, which makes it impossible to surpass.

The first is the degree of faithfulness to the original work, the TV series version was named the 87 version, but in fact, it was not filmed immediately after the project was established, but a large number of red scientists were invited to form an advisory group, using the original work as a blueprint to create the script.

Director Wang Fulin grasped the core and key of "Dream of Red Mansions", and did not jump out of the text of the Red Mansion, tampering with and processing the script wantonly, but completely followed the original work to shoot.

Even if Cao Dada's story of the Red Chamber is not finished, the script is based on the first 80 episodes of the original manuscript to make a faithful original script creation of the ending of the characters.

In particular, the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" recreates the ending, which is wonderful.

The ending in the sequel is that Jia Baoyu went to participate in the scientific expedition, the Jia family was pardoned, and the family business was revitalized.

Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs?

The ending of the 87 version, Sister Feng's death, Xiangyun's reduction to a prostitute, and Jia Baoyu's walk in the white wasteland at the end are all handled very well.

When Wang Xifeng died, her wish was to return to Jinling, but she was just wrapped in grass and abandoned in the wilderness.

Then the camera switches to the vast snowy wasteland, Jia Baoyu is dressed in a tattered purple python, walking alone.

Although it is bleak, this is an adaptation that is truly faithful to the original book, and the 89 movie version completely copies the sequel, and it is obviously inferior in terms of level.

In addition, in order to better follow the original work and restore the social style of the time, the crew also formed a 20-person Red Chamber advisory group, which is dedicated to controlling the overall situation, some of these people are red scientists, some are architects, some are folklorists, and some are leaders in charge of related fields at that time, so to speak, they are the general helmsmen of the crew, which fundamentally ensures the level of the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions".

In order to better present the people, objects, and scenes described in the book, the crew worked tirelessly to select actors from all over the country, regardless of identity and background, as long as the image and personality are in line with the characters in the book, they will try their best to pull in the crew.

In order to choose the most suitable scene, the crew also traveled all over the country, instead of building a studio to finish the work, in order to leave a physical object for future generations to refer to, the crew finally spent a lot of money in this era, and completed buildings such as Rongguo Mansion and Daguan Garden in a certain place in Hebei, until a few decades later, it is still influencing the world, which is impossible to compare with the crew who dismantled the studio after filming a TV series.

Secondly, the centralized training before the official start of filming is a precedent for the Chinese film and television industry, which is also extremely important from the perspective of the final film.

Later, as long as the actors were in place, one person studied a script for a few days, or simply memorized it on the spot, or directly got a teleprompter, or directly asked the actors to open their mouths to spray "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9", so they dared to shoot.

The 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" does not treat acting work like this, all the actors in the crew are found from all over the country, and almost all of them are not from professional backgrounds.

Director Wang Fulin's decision was opposed by countless people, but he still insisted, as long as it was because such people were malleable and did not have too many routines.

After the actors were recruited, the crew did not rush to assign roles, but conducted a three-year training for this group of young actors, three years.

Later TV crews, did you have three months?

Is there a three-week one?

Many people feel that they are big names, and they don't show up until a second before the TV series starts filming, and even when filming, they are a little dissatisfied and leave directly, and even worse, they don't even come to the crew, they rely on cutouts throughout the whole process, relying on themselves to be big names, and they don't play with other actors in private to find a feeling, so they want to make a good TV series and want to surpass the classics?

There are no special doors!

Yi Qing watched too many so-called big-name actors in his previous life, are those people really embarrassed to say that they are actors?

These so-called big names are also a group of people known as traffic stars, and what gave birth to this group is the blind investment of some capital, as long as there is traffic and attention, you can be an actor and act, which is a paradox in itself.

Since when did the standard for measuring an actor no longer be acting skills, but traffic?

These so-called "actors" who have no acting skills and can only sell cuteness and handsomeness to the camera lens break into the film and television industry with the confidence of fascination, taking memorizing lines as the standard of dedication, rubbing a little oily skin as the standard of dedication, and coming to the crew as the standard of scenery as soon as the sky is bright, as everyone knows, this is their profession, and what they do is completely the minimum standard of the industry for the profession of actors.

But these self-confident "actors" can't see themselves clearly, let alone the actor's profession, can they still be expected to be in awe of performance?

It's good to read the script before joining the group and know who you're playing.

But the actors of the Red Mansion crew, for their role, even if it is a very small role, they have paid three years of youth.

What has the Red Mansion crew trained in the past three years?

"Dream of Red Mansions" is a story of aristocrats after all, and it is natural to cultivate the temperament of these actors, this is the aristocratic temperament in the bones, in addition to the skills of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and hops, all of which must be had, and later those so-called traffic stars, little fresh meat, in addition to a face, what else is there?

Yi Qing has personally experienced more than half a year of training, all the actors get together, no matter the size of the role, everyone eats and lives together, lives in a collective dormitory, and no one enjoys privileges, so that they cultivate feelings for each other, and they can feel more when filming.

The crew also invited a lot of experts to teach the actors, not only to be familiar with the original work, to memorize the lines, but also to be familiar with the customs and customs of that era and that social environment, to be familiar with the positioning of each role, and to slowly substitute themselves into the situation over time, so that they can be more comfortable when acting.

It can be said that without the training before filming, there would be no later classics.

Third, the shocking composition, the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" not only follows the original script, but also cultivates the temperament of the actors after three years of intensive training, teaches performance, and runs in private, but also finds the famous composer Wang Liping to compose the music.

Those tunes sounded like complaints, weeping, tear-jerking, and shocking, and later became many versions of the songs that Red Mansions scrambled to quote, and they have become swan songs.

Later, Wang Liping himself said that composing music for the Red Chamber was his most laborious work, and during the composition process, he cried several times, which shows his sincerity.

To measure whether a film and television drama is a classic, it is not only the performance of the actors, but also the composition throughout the film and television drama, whether it can become the soul of a TV series as a classic.

Yi Qing understands music and Red Mansions, after watching the Red Mansion countless times, when he heard the Red Mansion song composed by Mr. Wang Liping, he felt that it was a song born for the Red Mansion, which could not be completed by just finding a composer, the old gentleman spent a year and nine months to complete it in order to compose these dozen tunes, this is ingenuity, this is a song dug out between the lines, not familiar with the Red Mansion, how can you get it?

The fourth is the performance of the actors, for example, when people later mentioned Sister Lin, it is estimated that everyone will think of Chen Xiaoxu for the first time, although there are many versions of Lin Daiyu before and after, but Chen Xiaoxu is the most expressive. She is not the most beautiful, everyone admits this, but the Lin Daiyu she plays is obviously the closest to Cao Xueqin's Daiyu temperament, which is also something that everyone has to admit.

Even Chen Xiaoxu herself admitted that her personality is very similar to Lin Daiyu, and after playing Daiyu, no one dares to ask her to act, because in everyone's hearts, no matter what she plays, people think that it is Lin Daiyu.

In addition to Chen Xiaoxu, there are also Deng Jie's version of Wang Xifeng, Ouyang Diqiang's version of Jia Baoyu, Zhang Li's version of Xue Baochai, Dongfang Wenying's version of Jia Tanchun, Sha Yuhua's version of Grandma Liu, etc., it can be said that no matter how big or small the role is, everyone lives up to their mission and plays their roles alive, and they all say that the highest level of acting is not to play a role, but to make themselves a role, obviously every actor in the crew has done it.

So when Chen Xiaoxu died, people would say that there was more Lin Daiyu in the sky, and there was no more Chen Xiaoxu in the world, which was by no means a beautiful word.

In addition, the crew's costumes, makeup, etc., are also the most comfortable and recognized in all versions, this is not an unscrupulous crew that just takes a few sets of clothes and comes out to fool the audience, in order to better present the classics, the crew specially invited the famous costume designer Shi Yanqin to design thousands of costumes for Dream of Red Mansions, people can see that Dream of Red Mansions only has 36 episodes, but the costumes of the actors alone are enough for the audience to enjoy.

There are many versions of the Red Mansion, of course, the 87 version also has its own regrets, but after comparison, it is still impossible to deny its classic status, because the main creators behind the scenes follow the original work, because the crew spares no expense in time-consuming and labor-intensive shooting, and because the actors attach importance to the role and study, so that all audiences who love the story of the Red Mansion are fortunate to see such a classic.

Do you need to worry about competing with others in such a red mansion?

The answer is obvious!

They only need to do their best, and leave the rest to the audience, the emperor still lives up to the hard work, and everyone's efforts will be rewarded in the end.

"Teacher Zhou, others have their own advantages, we also have our advantages, there is no need to compare with others, let's do what we need to do in a down-to-earth manner, the result will not be too bad!"

Zhou Ling was stunned when he heard this, and then he was relieved in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: He is so much older than Yi Qing, but he didn't expect that Yi Qing could not see it thoroughly.

"You can still see through, Xiao Yi, I really convinced you!"

Yi Qing just smiled and didn't answer, he could understand Zhou Ling's worries, after all, compared with the two, the TV series version is indeed inferior to others everywhere, otherwise, why did most of the red scientists in the crew go to the film version crew of Beijing Film Studio?

"By the way, you will enlighten everyone later, these days, it is like a big stone pressing on the heart, no matter who is preoccupied, if it goes on like this, we will not be able to bear it before we are beaten down. ”

This is indeed necessary, it seems that Yi Qing is going to give the big guy some confidence ecstasy soup again.

"No problem!"
