287, this is exquisite! (two in one)
Revolt.
Everyone has such and such reasons, some are forced by life, some are desperate in the real society, and some are designed by the people on Liangshan, which also make them desperate.
Of course, there are also some people who fish in troubled waters, or want to come to Liangshang to seek greater wealth, but these people are still in the minority.
Most of them were forced to do so—either by themselves or by others.
Song Jiang is the same.
Before the amnesty was not on the list, whether it was Song Jiang's own thoughts or Song Taigong's expectations, they were not left to the grass, so even if Chao Gai invited them, Song Jiang could only 'refuse ten times'.
You only need to wait a few months, so why live such a frightened life with them.
After all, Song Jiang is different from them, in the days when the knife licks blood, others have strong skills, but he doesn't.
Every time he was arrested, others were beaten, like Wu Song went to Sun Erniang's land, but he turned against the guest and asked the other party to beg for mercy, and Song Jiang ...... If you don't sign up, it is estimated how many times you will have to be "made sobering soup with heart and liver" by a mountain king like Wang Ying, and this experience also scared him.
Xunyang Lou's anti-poem is a big turning point, and this paragraph is also one of the pinnacles of Li Xuedao's acting skills in the Water Margin.
When he watched the drama back then, Ning Yuan felt that this period was particularly interesting - at that time, he was just watching a lively scene, and then he became an actor, and after he began to think about these things, he felt more and more that it was too powerful here.
Zhang Hanyu's acting skills are recognized in the future, but even if he is filming the new Water Margin, if he compares this part, he will still be beaten by Li Xuedao.
Of course, this is not only a problem of the individual actors, but also the problems of screenwriting and setting, directorial arrangement, and post-processing...... and many other aspects, which cannot all be counted on Zhang Hanyu.
Although many viewers feel that Zhang Hanyu is much more heroic than Li Xuedao, the key is that in the original work...... Is Song Jiang heroic?
Ning Yuan personally thinks that Zhang Hanyu's image is more appropriate to play Lin Chong and even Wu Song, but playing Song Jiang does not conform to the image - the face is black and the body is short.
Black is easy to do, but short ...... In the Water Margin, it is estimated that it is higher than Wang Ying.
And Zhang Hanyu has always been a positive image of a tough guy in the hearts of the public, and it is not good to play a leopard-headed and round-eyed person like Lin Chong, but Song Jiang is ...... There are positives of loyalty and hypocrisy, and Zhang Hanyu didn't perform that kind of posture of a small official - he is not to blame for this, the new version was changed like this, making Song Jiang taller.
After all, at that time, the aesthetics of the audience, which is the basis of the ratings, have also changed, such as relaxation, such as handsome men and beautiful women, the pressure is so great, so there will be less conspiracy and hypocrisy.
If you really want to act according to the old version of casting, there is a risk in terms of ratings.
In fact, judging by the ratings alone, the new Water Margin is indeed much more successful than the remakes of the other three famous novels.
As for the connotation of Shenma, it is not the purpose of the remake, unlike CCTV back then, the reason why it planned to shoot the four famous novels was only because he saw that foreign masterpieces such as Shakespeare are well known, but there are no relevant film and television works in China, so the project was established.
The vast majority of film and television remakes are for profit, as long as the people who watch TV like it.
In the anti-poem of Xunyang Lou played by Zhang Hanyu, the psychological process is mainly interpreted through his personal inner narration.
Even in terms of processing, Zhang Hanyu's version is also interspersed with memories in the camera, such as the dialogue with his father and the process of tattooing with gold seals, to highlight the changes in his heart.
In addition, there is also a music.
But this thing...... Not only did it fail to add to the cake, but it also seemed cumbersome, distracting the audience, and even many viewers felt that it was ...... This soundtrack is a bit noisy, and I can't hear Zhang Hanyu's hoarse narration clearly.
Therefore, Song Jiang's emotional and psychological changes are all through narration, reminiscences and soundtracks...... These actors are presented outside of the content.
And this itself is inferior to Li Xuedao's line performance and interpretation of body language.
What's more, if you want to be domineering, Li Xuedao's "Born Out of the Sky" is not bad at all, but Song Jiang here is not that kind of person, he is just loyal to the original restoration.
Of course, there is also a gap in performance, Zhang Hanyu drank too much and became more and more worried, while Li Xuedao drank too much, and the more he drank, the more crazy he became.
Wine is strong and intimidating, and this just echoes his later arrival on Liangshan, otherwise how can he still be ambitious?
But the technique of the new version of montage switched back and forth, and in the end, Zhang Hanyu suddenly began to go crazy again, laughing wildly, if you just look at it, you don't feel anything, but if you want to compare it with Li Xuedao's version, you will feel that the jump is abrupt and lacks a progressive process.
In fact, the new version of the director Ju Jueliang is very familiar with Zhang Jizhong, the producer of the old version of Water Margin, and the two have collaborated on many dramas such as Condor Shooting and Tianlong, and the pot is on the screenwriter Wen Haojie, because he himself said that he would not let Song Jiang be so wretched, and he would be portrayed as a big hero.
What Ning Yuan wants to say is, since this is the case, then you can shoot a woolen water margin, don't you just write a film yourself, you can do it, why don't you let Song Jiang not accept Zhao'an, and finally kill at the foot of the Zhao family and then die in battle, isn't it more heroic?
Ning Yuan saw that they were setting up the scenery and mobilizing the waterwheel outside to prepare for the rain, so he hurried upstairs to grab a favorable position, and he couldn't squeeze in too late.
There are not many opportunities for this kind of learning and observation.
The display upstairs is very simple, and in the camera frame set up, Li Xuedao can occupy nearly half of it personally, which is very prominent.
In the new version of the Water Margin, there are a few tables upstairs, not to mention, each of which is also full of wine and dishes, although it looks real, but it looks messy, which can be regarded as a snake to add to the painting.
In the past few days, Li Xuedao rarely talked to Ning Yuan, and it seemed that since then, he has begun to lean on the characters, just for today's scene.
Before the start of filming, Li Xuedao discussed with the director many times, from the words, to the performance, to the setting and framing, as well as the shooting method, everything was detailed.
Because of this, not only Lu Tao, but also chief director Zhang Shaolin, chief producer Ren Dahui and director Zhang Jizhong are all here in this scene.
Although there were many people who wanted to come up, they were all stopped by the director, for fear that a little noise would interfere with Li Xuedao's performance and affect the radio.
Even Ning Yuan, if it weren't for Li Xuedao's voice, he would have to go down.
Upstairs there are two rooms, separated by bamboo hollow curtains, Li Xuedao sits at the end of the curtain, and the camera is set up at the end of the curtain.
The light came in from Li Xuedao's side and the dim sky outside the window frame.
The arrangement on the side of the curtain, in addition to Li Xuedao, is a square table and two Taishi chairs, which are clean and neat.
Li Xuedao stood on the left-hand side outside the door curtain, and this side looked at him in the past.
Judging from the picture, it looks like a silhouette, and the people and tables and chairs have become black outlines, which are indistinguishable, but because of this, Li Xuedao's movements are more obvious.
Half of this scene has to be shot with long shots, not only long shots, but the picture will not move, so the cameraman is very trouble-free, just put the machine there, and he just watches from the sidelines.
In this version that Ning Yuan once saw, this place is Li Xuedao's one-man show, and there is no soundtrack, only the rustling rain outside, not only is it not noisy, but when Li Xuedao speaks, there is a kind of artistic conception of 'cicada noise forest is quiet, birdsong mountain is more secluded', which is even more sad.
Li Xuedao bent his waist slightly, holding his glass, and when he coughed, the scene reporter hit the board, and the cameraman started shooting.
Everyone here was silent, and even their breathing slowed down.
Long shots, especially those that resemble a drama performance, are rare, and the lines, pacing, and performance must be exhaustive.
Once there is a flaw, if you shoot it again, it will be 'one blow and then decay'...... Most of the time, you can't reach the spirit of the first time, and you need to rest for a long time again before you can brew.
So none of them wanted anything to go wrong, otherwise they wouldn't have cleared the field.
Li Xuedao's slightly trembling voice sounded: "Who can understand my Song Jiang's heart?"
After speaking, with a resolute momentum, he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup in his hand!
After drinking, he still had the tone of smashing his mouth, and then, he turned his head and walked to the table, and laughed twice in a drunken "hehe" voice.
"Hmm~" gestured in his mouth, and then the bartender came over from the side and poured wine.
Just now, Ning Yuan knew that it was real wine, or Li Xuedao's own request.
Picking up the wine glass again, Li Xuedao turned around and walked to the window, facing away from the camera, still in that slightly drunk tone:
"Zhao Wangjun, Zhao Wangjun, hum!"
With a cold snort, Li Xuedao turned to the side to face the camera again, leaned back and opened his mouth again: "Today - I also toast you!"
dragged the tone of the long tone, as well as the superb line skills, the feeling of pathos in an instant came to the face, not to mention the effect of this silhouette, the expression on the face was not clear, and the attention was more on the sound.
"You don't distinguish between loyalty and treachery, you don't distinguish between black and white, and you waste my Song Jiang full of economy, loyal and brave!"
The tone of his voice continued to be sonorous, his hands were still waving, and he became more and more crazy, if it wasn't for madness, with Song Jiang's cautious character, how could he dare to say such disrespectful words loudly.
So, according to the effect of the performance, he was already drunk at this time.
In the new version, Zhang Hanyu is mainly a close-up of his face here, although his expression is gloomy, but in his eyes, there is no such blurry drunkenness, because of this, he suddenly went crazy in the back, which made it seem abrupt.
Sighing, his body shook slightly, and Li Xuedao said again:
"Today, I want you to open your eyes and see who Song Jiang is in Shandong!"
In a word, from the low in the front to the high-pitched 'who is who' at the end, the hand holding the wine cup is also raised high, and then brought to the mouth, and drank it again.
The voice, the word, the slight trembling of the beard wearing a hat under this silhouette is like the picture of the ancients coming to life.
This scene also made Ning Yuan's eyes unblinking, and his breathing became long.
At the same time, a thunderous 'click' exploded.
Of course this is not true, even the rain is poured by water guns, and where does the thunder come from, but the foley artist can make such a sound by shaking the thin iron sheet casually.
Not only that, but the rain was louder and crackling on the roof tiles.
Li Xuedao shook and returned to the table again, put down the cup, with a frivolous attitude, and pointed with his hand: "Pour wine~"
Even if it is only two words, this tone makes him full of charm.
When the bartender poured wine, Li Xuedao's mouth never stopped, laughing arbitrarily, shaking his head, and getting rid of the appearance of an alcoholic.
This acting skills, as well as the grasp of details and the control of rhythm, have to be convinced.
"Zhao Wangjun, Zhao Wangjun, today I want you to know me~Song~Jiang~"
Just like the frivolous tone just now, the frivolous movements of shaking his head, and finally his hand was raised, and he splashed the wine cup, and the wine spilled out.
"Uh-huh-hmm...... Pour wine~"
In the words of the future, this cheap tone and small actions portray Song Jiang's usually cautious, pessimistic and desperate villain's attitude of becoming frivolous after drinking.
That's called drunken madness!
Picking up the glass and sitting down, he was about to stand up, but he slumped into his chair and drank the wine from the cup again.
If he hadn't watched this version of the TV series, Ning Yuan would have been really worried about whether he would get drunk, not to mention, since he had surgery last year, he had quit drinking.
If you don't drink for a long time, you're more likely to sin.
Looking at his state at this time, Ning Yuan really couldn't tell whether he was drunk or acted, it was too similar!
Slamming the wine cup on the table, Li Xuedao raised his head in a daze, looked around, and then stared at him in a daze, even at this time, his head was still swaying slightly.
"Shopkeeper, what's written on the powder wall?"
After Li Xuedao finished speaking, Zhang Shaolin and the others immediately applauded:
"Good!"
At the same time, Ning Yuan's applause also rang out.
This long shot is over.
In the long shot of more than two minutes, he not only acted it completely, but also infected Ning Yuan and all of them, and even Ning Yuan couldn't tell whether he was acting or really drunk, let alone others.
At this time, Ning Yuan ran over and said with concern: "Are you okay?"
Li Xuedao glanced at him: "It's okay." ”
His eyes were clear, how much did he look drunk, and after finishing speaking, he waved his hand at Ning Yuan, meaning not to disturb him.
Ning Yuan was relieved, but thinking of the scene just now, he had to admire it in his heart.
If there is no observation of life and the intention of performing, how can you act so expressively.
Of course, thinking of his past experience, especially the tempering of the drama performance back then, Ning Yuan was also relieved.
In the 80s, when he was only twenty-six years old, he played the protagonist of the defection drama, and in order to play it well, Li Xuedao worked hard.
That one was bald, and he was very thin, with a very sharp chin, Li Xuedao starved himself to lose dozens of pounds, and then deliberately shaved his hair. In addition to this, repeatedly imitate his walking posture and study his habits.
When he finally performed on stage, Li Xuedao played that person alive no matter his appearance, demeanor, or dialect lines and intonation. Once after the performance, when another lady came on stage to express her condolences to the actors, she directly restrained her smile when she was smiling, and left after passing Li Xuedao.
This drama also allowed Li Xuedao to win the Plum Blossom Award that year.
