Chapter 57: Changing the Script

Like "Journey to the West", "Dream of Red Mansions" also had only one camera for a long time. The filming progress is extremely slow, and I can shoot about one episode a month.

Later, Ren Dahui borrowed two more sets, which were slightly accelerated, and he could shoot one and a half episodes a month.

The crew started filming for half a year, and according to the content of the script, at most two percent were filmed. Because the exterior scene is not easy to do, all kinds of winds and clouds are waiting for birds to fly by.

Just like Xiangyun drunk sleeping peony bush, the crew went to the peony garden in Xishan Park in Hangzhou in the first year, and in the second year, they rushed to pass the flowering period, but it was cold that year, and many flowers did not bloom, so they had to tie a lot of paper flowers.

In contrast, chamber drama is very easy to master.

Xu Fei has been in the group for nearly a month, and he has witnessed classic scenes such as Daiyu entering the mansion to see Jia's mother, and Yuanchun Province's relatives returning home, and he has returned his thoughts about this drama.

Then, it was Mr. Xu's turn to go into battle.

The March night was still cold, with a jug of water boiling on the stove and a light bulb swaying overhead, the wind squeezing in from outside.

Xu Fei was wrapped in a big cotton jacket, his feet were spread out and stretched out to the stove to bake the fire, holding a thick script in his hand.

He was very familiar with the entertainment industry in his previous life, and he was no stranger to the operation of the crew, and he was also familiar with the genre of acting, but he really had never filmed.

Since he hasn't tried it, he has to lower his posture and study with an open mind, he has read the script countless times, and it is full of dense annotations.

The scene that is about to be filmed is about the robbery of Jiafu and the imprisonment of a cadre in the prison temple. Jia Yun took Ni Er's path and pretended to be a jailer to come in to visit the prison - the exterior of the Prison God Temple was filmed in Mount Tai, and the cell was in the studio.

There are many places where he feels screwed, such as this paragraph:

Jia Yun, dressed as a jailer, knelt down in front of Baoyu and choked up: Uncle!

Baoyu hugged Jia Yun: Why did you get here?

Jia Yun hurriedly stood up, wiped her eyes, and pulled Baoyu to the table full of wine and food: Uncle, please sit down!

Baoyu looked at Jia Yun in confusion and sat down slowly.

Jia Yun raised her wine glass and smiled: Uncle, when I was at home before, I often wanted to honor my uncle, but I never had a chance, and now I ......

He choked up again. ”

These two people are completely talking about each other, and the language and logic are not next to each other at all! So he wrote a long paragraph next to it, ready to communicate with the director.

Another example is this sentence:

"Jia Yun: Uncle don't worry! Although I haven't read any books, I still know the story of Shen Baoxu crying Qin Ting. ”

Shen Baoxu cried Qin Ting, Xu Fei didn't understand, so he went to check it and learned that it was an allusion to "Spring and Autumn Zuo Biography".

Shen Baoxu was a doctor of the state of Chu, and in the fifteenth year of King Zhao of Chu, Wu Zixu helped Wu break through the state of Chu. Shen Baoxu went to Qin to ask for help, Qin Aigong couldn't make up his mind whether to send troops or not, so Shen Baoxu cried for seven days in the Qin court, and finally rescued King Zhao and returned to Chu.

It can be said that Xu Fei studied the script thoroughly, but the more transparent it is, the more problems there are. He is the thinking and aesthetics of thirty years later, and when he looks at the logic of film and television characters in this era, he always feels a little stupid.

"Alas!"

He read and read, picked up the pen and added another sentence, couldn't help but shake his head, and casually pressed the tape recorder next to him.

That's right, who is Boss Xu? A big dog with more than 100,000 yuan in his pocket, he buys the tape recorder when he says he buys it! And he doesn't buy it for listening to songs, but for filming.

Read the lines yourself, record them on the machine, and then replay them to hear what went wrong. If you repeat this, you will naturally improve.

This trick was learned from Qin Hailu, well, this kid is only seven years old now......

Speaking of later actors, they are generally divided into three types:

The first type, rationality is greater than emotion, represented by Qin Hailu, Lao Duan, and Feng Yuanzheng.

The second type, which is more emotional than rational, is represented by Brother Qing, Zhou Gongzi, and Sun Honglei before participating in "Extreme Challenge".

The third type, blind and a few performances, represented by Yang Shoutian, Yang Tianbao, Baihua Jushi, and Electric Eel.

The so-called rational actors are all pure technical streams, and the desk work is extremely rich, and they can eat the script to the fullest. It takes four months to shoot a film, and it may take three months to prepare for it.

When I arrived at the scene, I saw which scene it was, and I could perform it when I came up, and it was stable and ruthless.

Extremely strong control over the character and good at design, this design is not derogatory, it is a performance technique.

For example, in "White Deer Plain", Qin Hailu also serves as the performance director, Li Qin has a finger biting action, Qin Hailu let her bite one by one, and finally said that when you bite your little thumb, that arc and posture are the most beautiful.

That's what kind of design it is.

Although Xu Fei is very handsome, he asks himself that Mu has the spirituality of a beautiful boy, and he can't reach the level of playing on the spot, so he has to do desk work.

"Goo-goo-goo!"

"Goo-goo-goo!"

The water has been boiling for a long time and has been barking.

He lifted the kettle, poured it into an enamel jar, hugged it in his arms, used it as a hot water bottle, and walked out the door with the script in his hand.

When I got to the house next door, I knocked lightly.

"Who?"

As soon as the door opened, Ouyang's fat face was revealed, and his expression was quite surprised, "Teacher Xu, is there something wrong?"

"We'll be filming in two days, and I want to ask the director for advice again. ”

"Oh, then you'll be there!"

Ouyang himself is baby-faced, with little tiger teeth, cute and hanging, and he is mixed in the girls' pile all day long, and he looks more and more soft. He went back and put on some clothes and ran to Wang Fulin's room together.

When Wang Fulin saw the two of them together, he knew that he was here for the play.

"Director Wang, didn't bother you, did you?"

"No, I haven't rested yet, you guys will shoot the day after tomorrow, how are you preparing?"

"It's right, how many times have you played, don't you want to take a look at it?"

"Oh, then you can play a little bit and see. ”

Xu Fei then pointed to the script, Ouyang nodded, he had also rehearsed it once before.

The two of them distanced themselves slightly, Xu Fei turned his back to each other first, and then took out the enamel jar from his arms, pretended to be food, and slowly put it on the table.

Ouyang Ze's face was full of doubts and asked, "Are you ......?"

He turned around and called, "Uncle Bao!"

"You...... Who is it?" Ouyang was more and more surprised.

"Uncle Bao, it's me!"

"Yun'er?"

"Uncle!"

Xu Fei knelt when he said it, plopped down and choked up.

"You, how did you get here?"

Ouyang hurriedly helped him up.

Xu Fei stood up and pulled the other party to the table: "Uncle, please take a seat!"

The two sat down.

Xu Fei said again: "When I was at home before, I often wanted to honor my uncle, but I never had a chance, but now I ......."

He paused suddenly, and the two looked at each other without saying a word.

Wang Fulin watched from the side, and lifted his glasses suspiciously, "The performance is very good, is there anything you don't understand?"

“......”

Of course Ouyang didn't, he just looked at someone.

Someone turned their head and said, "Director, don't you feel awkward?"

"After Jia Yun and Xiaohong returned the veil before, they didn't appear again, and the book didn't introduce what he did later, and it wasn't written in the script. After such a long time, Jia Yun came out of nowhere again, and pretended to be a jailer to visit the prison, I think this process has to give the audience an explanation.

And you see, Baoyu obviously asked, 'How did you get here?'

Jia Yun didn't answer, but let him sit, and then said, "When I was at home before", Yunyun obviously didn't answer the question, and it didn't make sense logically.

People asked, at least I have to reply, what am I doing now, when I heard that Jiafu was copied, I went through the relationship to see you, so it is reasonable. ”

“......”

Ouyang was stunned when he heard what he said, and he was still a little scared, like Daiyu, Baochai, and Xiangyun are all honest children, and the director will act how he wants, and no one will object at all.

Wang Fulin was also stunned, and then remembered that this kid had helped to complete the spring line!

And this sound reasonable, he was a humble person, so he asked, "Is there anything else?"

And here, Baoyu recalled that Jia Yun gave him white begonias and read Daiyu's poems. You look at Jia Yun's reaction, 'as if she was infected, tears flashing in her eyes. ’

Jia Yun attaches great importance to love and righteousness, but it does not mean that he attaches great importance to everyone. He is the fifth room of the Jia family, living in poverty, and he knows nothing more about the gang of Lu beetles in Jiafu, what feelings can he have in it?

and this poem, he may not have seen Lin Daiyu, and he said that he didn't read much, but when he heard a Daiyu poem, he would flash tears...... It's a bit too chiseled. ”

"The whole scene of the Prison Temple is deliberately creating a sad atmosphere, but it doesn't actually fit the character setting. Baoyu can be sad, why should Jia Yun be sad and cry at every turn?

He only has three places that should be gloomy, one talks about Baoyu's current situation, one mentions his mother's death, and one talks about Xiaohong's situation.

I think this is the right way, this is what makes the world transparent and the grievances clear. ”
