Chapter 54: Do me a favor
At the door of the Old Summer Palace Guest House, all the members of the Red Mansion crew did not fall, they were forming a big circle, and even the staff of the guest house did not fall, and all of them went out, as if they were waiting to watch a good show.
Yi Qing was explaining to a few sturdy young men, and he was still carrying a sword in his hand, if he looked closely, he could tell that this was not one, but a pair.
In the story of the Red Mansion, Liu Xianglian's love token to You Sanjie was the family heirloom Mandarin Duck Sword, and later, Liu Xianglian repented of her relatives, and You Sanjie used this Mandarin Duck Sword to kill herself.
With Ouyang Diqiang entering the group, the last character also has a master, and the preparations for the Red Mansion crew have been significantly accelerated.
The Red Chamber is a literary drama, and the only action scene in the whole situation is that Xue Pan Road was robbed by bandits, Liu Xianglian happened to bump into it, and he took action to relieve the siege.
Yi Qing still remembers the fight in the 87 version of the original play, speaking of conscience, the fake ones made people's back molars crushed, and they were not even at the level of primary school students.
Of course, Yi Qing is not a professional, but he has watched dozens or hundreds of Xiangjiang action movies in his previous life, even if he is a cat and a tiger, it will definitely not be bad, not to mention that he himself has real kung fu.
"Later, your knife will come over like this, it doesn't matter if you move faster, when the time comes, grab the camera in front of you, and be quick when you fall, don't cover the wound and hang around for a long time, that would be too fake, understand?"
The people who cooperated with him in this scene were all selected by Li Zhixin from the Beijing Sports Martial Arts Team, one of them, Yi Qing, looked familiar, and only remembered after asking his name that this person was Li Lianjie's junior brother, the senior brother of the wolf warrior Wu Jing, and Kou Zhanwen, who was also a powerful figure in the domestic martial arts industry in the future.
is the same age as Yi Qing, but the two of them stand together, just looking at the image, they are completely like two generations, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin, and the two of them have passed a few hands before the rehearsal, and they are a real kung fu.
"Director Wang, it's almost, why don't we go through it first?"
This rehearsal is said to be acceptance, but in fact, it is to make Wang Fulin feel at ease.
Wang Fulin nodded when he heard this, he didn't really look at it again, his heart was really unsteady, when he heard someone else's words, he dizzily agreed to let Yi Qing design the martial arts action of this scene, and now he really regrets it.
What does a young man who has never been exposed to film and television shooting know?
"Okay, just go through it as we just said. ”
After Yi Qing finished speaking, he silently recited 3, 2, and 1 in his heart, and suddenly stepped forward, before the sword was unsheathed, a backer knocked out the "Robber A", followed by Kou Zhanwen's "Robber B" raised his knife and pounced, and slashed at Yi Qing's head.
However, this knife, he obviously chopped slowly, the knife and gun had no eyes, although the back was holding a wooden prop, but this time it was really smashed, and the consequences were unimaginable.
With scruples in his heart, if he hesitated a little, his hands would naturally be slow, but only Kou Zhanwen and Yi Qing knew, and the onlookers couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"Be careful!"
"Ahh
Yi Qing was focused, even if Kou Zhanwen's knife was chopped down with all his strength, he could easily dodge it, this was all designed, every position, the angle of the shot, it was all a routine, how could something happen, Kou Zhanwen was doing this job for the first time, and he was still too careful.
Yi Qing's dodging movement was very small, just turned sideways, retreated, the knife grazed his clothes, followed by the hilt of the sword, handed it forward, the tip of the scabbard was in Kou Zhanwen's heart, and "Bandit B" retreated.
The whole set of actions, one bump, one flash, one blow, very concise, not so many empty things, not to mention flying all over the sky, Yi Qing designed it this way, what he wants to show is that Liu Xianglian is strong in martial arts, and at the same time handsome and elegant.
If you bend down and bow your head when you dodge just now, you won't be able to reflect the demeanor of Liu Xianglian.
In the original work of Red Mansions, there is not much ink about Liu Xianglian, whether it is the background of the characters or the description of the image, although there are a few outstanding points, but it is still too thin, and Yi Qing can really not learn much when creating characters.
If it is completely played in the way of Hou Changrong in the 87 version of the original work, Yi Qing is unwilling, what is the point of picking up people's teeth, although Hou Changrong's version of Liu Xianglian is no longer possible, but Yi Qing still hopes to show something different.
It's a pity that Cao Weng is eccentric, Liu Xianglian's character has too few scenes, and she only plays an important role in a few scenes throughout the whole story, Yi Qing wants to make this character brilliant, and the best opportunity is this martial arts scene.
Until the last robber fell to the ground, the mandarin duck sword had just been unsheathed, and among the robbers who fell to the ground, Yi Qing stood with the sword in one hand, and Wang Fulin couldn't help but shout hello when he saw it.
Wang Fulin is relieved and down-to-earth, the whole scene designed by Yi Qing is smooth from beginning to end, no action is superfluous, and no actor is a bystander, all of them are involved, the whole picture is moving, and the overall tension is created, anyone can feel it.
After watching it, the first thing Wang Fulin did was to tell Li Zhixin: "Write it down, when the time comes, start filming, and shoot this in the first scene." ”
After explaining, Wang Fulin was just about to leave, when a person came out of the crowd and ran directly to him.
"Director Wang!"
Wang Fulin was stunned, looked at the comer, and felt familiar, but it was definitely not from the crew, although there were many people up and down the entire crew, but they had been together for so long, and he knew each one: "Who are you?"
The person who came was busy introducing himself: "Li Chengru, Director Yang's assistant." ”
Wang Fulin suddenly realized that when he was in a meeting on CCTV before, he was with the crew of "Journey to the West" a few times, and he had indeed seen this product at that time.
Yi Qing was explaining the action design of the scene just now to a group of curious babies who came around, and when he saw Li Chengru, he couldn't help but wonder, why did this guy come?
When he joined the group before, didn't Li Chengru plan to go to the magic capital?
At that time, he said that he was going to go over there to find an actor, why did he run to the Red Mansion crew?
"Xiao Yi, come here!"
Yi Qingzheng was wondering, so he heard Wang Fulin calling him, and hurriedly walked over: "Director Wang, what's the matter?"
Wang Fulin pointed at Li Chengru: "It's not me looking for you, it's this Comrade Li Chengru who wants to look for you." ”
Li Chengru looking for him?
It's hard to have a good thing to touch, and I want to send it to him, during this time, Li Chengru has sent him a lot of good things, and one of the courtyards over there in Shichahai is about to become a warehouse.
"Qingzi, I didn't expect our brothers to meet again so soon, right?" Li Chengru smiled, and then explained to Wang Fulin and the others, "Director Wang, Qingzi and I have known each other for a long time, and this time I came back, but I beg you to help." ”
Wang Fulin was puzzled, the Journey to the West crew had already started filming, why did he suddenly ask the crew of the Red Chamber for help, was it because of the funds?
Thinking of this, Old Man Wang immediately became 120,000 points careful, they are all adaptations of famous novels, no one has enough money in their pockets, and when he held a meeting in Taiwan during the Chinese New Year this year, he knew that Journey to the West was tight, and Director Yang Jie would be married when he met someone, but the Red Mansion was not rich.
But he and Yang Jie are old colleagues, although they don't have much contact, their relationship with each other is okay, and it's not good to send people away casually.
"Help, how can we help?"
Li Chengru didn't expect Wang Fulin to think of the problem of money, that's right, the Journey to the West crew is poor, he is such a dignified assistant director, the salary is only 50 yuan per episode, the Journey to the West crew has been filming since 82, and it has been almost two years now, and he has only filmed 7 episodes, on average, he is less than 15 yuan a month.
But I've never heard of the truth that beggars ask for money from their peers!
Li Chengru glanced at Yi Qing's side, and then spoke: "Actually, I plan to borrow someone from you." ”
Wang Fulin followed Li Chengru's gaze and knew what was going on, and he dared to beat the actors of their Red Mansion crew.
This is not new, since the end of the first training class, it is not a secret that there are many handsome guys and beauties in the crew of the Red Mansion, and other crews came to borrow people earlier, this time the second training class started, and Cheng Mei, who was scheduled to play Yuanchun, did not arrive, and was borrowed to other crews to film.
Wang Fulin was able to agree to Cheng Mei's secondment, because the other party crew wanted Cheng Mei to play the role of the queen, accumulate some performance experience, and by the way, cultivate temperament.
"Oh, are you planning to secondment Xiao Yi and let him act in the Journey to the West?"
"This, it depends on what Director Yang means, you have to look at the people before you can settle down. ”
didn't say anything, but Yi Qing on the side was already moved, not that he liked acting so much, it was really because the opportunity was rare, it was "Journey to the West", now he has mixed a Liu Xianglian in the crew of the Red Mansion, if he can also play a role in the crew of Journey to the West, it will be too awesome.
Boast in the future, this is all capital.
Wang Fulin looked at Yi Qing with a look of eagerness to try, and said it if he had the heart to refuse, after all, Yi Qing is not the main actor, and there are not many scenes, and he has acted many times in the sketches before those scenes, even from a professional point of view, there is no problem with the actual shooting at that time.
Moreover, Journey to the West is also a major project of CCTV, and you can't delay the future of others for your own selfishness.
Besides, Yi Qing hadn't performed amazingly before, and his Liu Xianglian was also an important role in the Red Mansion, now that he has such a good opportunity to practice, why should he stop him?
"Okay, I agree in principle, but it shouldn't be too long, and we're planning to start filming this year. ”
Li Chengru saw Wang Fulin nodding, and hurriedly packed the ticket: "Don't worry, it won't take a month to go back and forth, and when the time comes, I will guarantee that I will send you back with all the mustaches and all the tails!"
Wang Fulin nodded: "Okay, you can talk about the specifics." ”
After saying that, he took the people and left.
Li Chengru pulled Yi Qing: "Let's go, the director has agreed, hurry up and follow me to fight the fire." ”
Although Yi Qing was happy to join the Journey to the West crew, he didn't understand what was going on.
"Hey, Brother Li, where are you taking me?"
"Go on, go to our side to put out the fire and play a role, Director Yang is in a hurry these days. ”
"Play what?"
This is what Yi Qing cares about the most, the four masters and apprentices are definitely impossible, although Tang Seng has changed three, but at his age, there is no play, other characters, immortals?
"Little White Dragon!"
