Chapter 20: The Broken Wine Bottle
Time flies.
In the past three months, the crew of "East Palace" has successively moved to Bashang, Dunhuang and other places, and the big scenes outside have been filmed almost, so now it has been transferred to Hengdian, and Mu Qing is playing happily while working.
I have to say that on these big external scenes, the crew really spent a long time, and director Li Muge seemed to have suddenly raised all the requirements during this period, as if he didn't want money, every scene was not filmed to perfection, and there was no intention of giving up at all, and Mu Qing found that the shooting equipment in the crew didn't know when to change a batch, that look, tsk, it looks very expensive.
At that time, all the crew wondered if the director Li Muge had won the lottery, otherwise how could he be so lavishly tossed, and deliberately restarted the previously filmed scenes after changing the equipment, otherwise it would not have taken as long as three months.
And the actors of the crew, in the past three months, can be regarded as very busy, especially Mu Qing, but he was really tossed enough, because in the play, he has the most action scenes, so he is hanging back and forth all day long, how handsome to swing a sword, how to make a lot of tricks, while having a long insight, Mu Qing really admires the martial arts instructor of the crew, and there is also that Mu Qing has inexplicably a strange self-confidence after three months of training by the crew's martial arts instructor, that is, he Mu Qing has become a top martial arts masterγ
But later, when chatting with the martial arts instructor of the crew, he told the other party about it, and the other party asked him to sleep as soon as possible to save himself from going crazy......
"Mu Qing, do you want to eat walnut crisp? I just got it from the props group, and it tastes very good. β
Peng Xiaoran's extraordinarily luxurious costume has not yet been changed, with a phoenix crown and red lips, she looks very beautiful, but due to the weather, she also put on a thick coat at this time.
The winter in Hengdian is still quite cold.
"Your scene for today is completely over?"
Mu Qing stretched out his hand to take the pastry in Peng Xiaoran's hand, and asked with a smile.
The scenes filmed today are mainly the scenes of the wedding of the male and female protagonists, so although the play is sad today, it is very joyful outside the play, after all, it is a happy event.
"Well, today's part is over smoothly, and I can go directly after removing my makeup. Peng Xiaoran nodded, his cheeks bulging, and he quickly solved the pastry in his hand like a little squirrel.
The night scene was filmed from dark until half past nine o'clock, she didn't move anything except for drinking hot water, and she had been trying to maintain her figure, so she didn't eat much, and this long time can be regarded as starving her enough.
"By the way, I remember that your scene today is not over yet, right, why, Director Li didn't call you over there?" Peng Xiaoran looked at Mu Qing who was sitting leisurely in the chair and asked.
"I guess I'll have to wait a while, didn't I accidentally drop the flask during the scene yesterday? β
Yesterday's filming was the scene where Gu Jian lost his soul outside the palace walls, that is, when Xiaofeng and Li Chengyin got married, Gu Jian's performance.
The general plot combing is like this:
On the spring day of the twenty-fourth year of Tiantong, Li Chengyin, the prince of the Feng Dynasty, and Qu Xiaofeng, the ninth princess of Xizhou, got married, and Xiaofeng became the crown prince's concubine, and on the same day, Zhao Sese was canonized as Liangdi, and entered the East Palace at the same time, and on the day of the wedding of Qu Xiaofeng and Li Chengyin, Gu Jian, who was dressed in red, stood outside the palace and waited for Xiaofeng's change of heart.
He wanted to take her back to Xizhou in a delusional way, and didn't want this free girl to be bound in the cage of the East Palace of the Feng Dynasty, even if she couldn't get anything, but the continuous sound of silk and bamboo in her ears told him that everything was his personal fantasy, and the palace of the Feng Dynasty was holding a grand wedding ceremony for the prince, and Xiao Feng also sat in the lotus palanquin and came to Li Chengyin and started her wedding ceremony.
Li Chengyin and Xiaofeng were married step by step in accordance with the customs of the Feng Dynasty in the loud shouting of the master of ceremonies, Gu Jian stood outside and listened to the heartache like a knife, on the one hand, because of the guilt in his heart, because Xiao Feng was not willing to marry to the East Palace, nor did he want to marry Li Chengyin, and now the situation that is entangled together is because of his Gu Jian, on the other hand, it is because of the love in his heart, his beloved girl, wearing a phoenix crown, walked to the side of another person......
Anyway, according to the script, Mu Qing's scene yesterday was to be performed like this, but when filming, Mu Qing always felt that something was wrong, so the shooting effect has always been a little awkward, and he always felt that the red dress that symbolized the last desire always had a bit of a sense of painting, so when Mu Qing performed, although it didn't seem to be too much of a problem, it always made people feel that something was missing.
In other words, according to Mu Qing's understanding, Gu Jian at this time should not be like this, so he is always a little weird when he acts.
A person who practices swords must have a certain degree of decisiveness, not to mention a master like Gu Jian, so even if he is now trapped by love and extremely depressed, his resolute character should not make him too out of shape, this is a person who is good at burying all his emotions in his heart, and he also has the desires and reactions of ordinary people, but these are all firmly suppressed, and they are all suppressed, resulting in a big gap between the appearance of the final performance and the real self.
He never thought about forcing it, some of it was just guarding, and the guilt that had always existed in his heart made it difficult for him to think about what could have a good result with Xiao Feng, so even if he was full of grief in his heart, or a lot of nostalgia, he would definitely not wear a red dress to someone else's wedding.
Gu Jian is a gentleman in a sense, and a gentleman is not conducive to being under the dangerous wall, so this red dress is a little redundant, although it looks very good-looking, and at the same time, it also expresses the last expectation in Gu Jian's heart in a sense, but it is too much, but it has lost that taste a little.
Mu Qing can be sure that if Gu Jian really appeared in such a scene wearing red clothes at this time, not to mention that someone would scold him, but the first thing that the audience who watched this plot should think of this sentence - "This person is good", it doesn't matter whether he thinks about it later, or the meaning he wants to embody, the audience's first reaction is probably like this.
So after several consecutive "cards", Mu Qing also chatted carefully with director Li Muge about the plot of this paragraph, and after half an hour of discussion, he made some changes.
changed Gu Jian's red clothes in this scene to the white clothes that Gu Jian wore when he first appeared in Xizhou, that is, the clothes that Gu Jian wore when he first appeared in Xizhou, and changed his hairstyle to the appearance of his first appearance.
Dressed in a white suit, wearing a wide leather forehead, and a long sword in his hand.
At that time, Gu Jian in Xizhou was still a teenager who looked confident, optimistic and carefree.
This outfit and look has only appeared once, and yesterday, it was the second time.
The costume that belonged to Xizhou appeared in the Feng Dynasty in the Central Plains, and Gu Jian attracted a burst of attention when he rode the street, the same dress, the same person, different places, different times, everything changed.
Gu Jian, who was on the street, lost the warm smile on his face, his expression was cold, and at the same time, there was more sadness in his eyes that made people unable to see and understand, and the demeanor and temperament of the whole person changed dramatically.
Mu Qing thought that after the scene of this scene was filmed, what was presented in front of the audience should be a great contrast impact, with the passage of time, the deviation of facts, everything has changed, no matter how helpless or a thousand cuts, all the pictures can no longer find the free taste of Xizhou.
As for the costume about Gu Jian's red clothes, it was not discarded, but was changed to the plot where Xiao Feng and Zhao Se said "how beautiful the red clothes are", because Xiao Feng said that the red clothes are good-looking and likes red clothes, so Gu Jian wore red clothes for the first time, and it was also the only time in the whole play that he wore red clothes.
This is a matter for later, so I won't mention it for the time being.
As for the scene outside the palace, because of the change in costumes, Li Muge's interest was aroused, and Mu Qing was pulled to discuss, and the final result of the discussion was a slight deviation from the original plot development.
The long sword hung on his waist, and Gu Jian came to the outside of the palace with a pot of wine, which was taken from Miro's wine shop, and it was a wine belonging to Xizhou.
Gu Jian, played by Mu Qing, stood motionless outside the palace for a long time with his back straight, without much movement, but the sadness in his eyes continued to overflow with the music in the palace walls, until the whole person seemed to be alone in this world
Only.
One worships heaven and earth together, two worships the high hall, three worships the inner and outer proximity, and four worships the couple...... Bow down, salute the ......
Xiao Feng, who was dressed in a wedding dress in the palace, did not have the slightest joy when he got married, and Gu Jian, who was dressed in Xizhou outside the palace, suddenly laughed with wine, and his smile was very bright, and his eyes were full of tears.
The sake in his hand was unsealed, the aroma of wine overflowed, Gu Jian poured himself a big mouthful, and then choked full of embarrassment, the green tendons on his neck burst out, the corners of his eyes were red, and the originally neat white clothes were wet with wine, and the miserable wrinkles could not be erased.
The silent laughter was maintained on his face, but it was extremely painful.
Raising his eyes and looking at the tall palace wall in front of him, Gu Jian, who had always been famous for his martial arts, staggered into the distance, missing it is missing, everything can never go back to the past, his white clothes look a little more ridiculous.
After the changed plot, Gu Jian's reaction was obviously more intense, and it also showed Gu Jian's true temperament more truly, rather than Gu Jian Gu Shaoxia who had been disguised in front of everyone.
After the scene yesterday, Mu Qing directly smashed the wine jug, because during the performance at that time, in order to pursue the normal reaction of the body, he poured a sip of real liquor, and because he drank it too quickly, Mu Qing insisted on going directly after filming, and the result was naturally the heroic sacrifice of the wine jug, otherwise today's scene may have already begun.
"By the way, how are you doing?" Peng Xiaoran suddenly asked.
Mu Qing thought that Peng Xiaoran was asking about his character's entry into the play, so he shook his head and signaled that he didn't have much of a problem.
He is not the kind of person who can't tell the difference between inside and outside the play, so although his emotions are affected a little, it is really nothing serious.
"It's okay. Peng Xiaoran smiled, "Then you prepare first, I'll go to remove my makeup first, the weather is cold to death, it's better to change back into your own clothes and be comfortable." β
Peng Xiaoran finished eating the pastry in his hand, said hello to Mu Qing with a smile, and then got up and left temporarily.
Although Mu Qing felt a little strange, he didn't think much about it, and once again focused his attention on the next scene.
At this moment, Mu Qing is still wearing the same white suit, wearing a forehead wipe on his head, but the overall look is very messy, a little lazy sitting on a chair covered with a blanket, looking like a wandering wanderer, which is different from Gu Jian in any period in the play.
And Gu Jian in the next scene looks like this, of course, this has to automatically ignore the flowery blanket on Mu Qing's body.
