With the beginning of spring, the weather is gradually getting warmer, and when Ning Yuan goes again, they are filming the water war scene.

Compared with other TV series, except for the large-scale water battles in the Three Kingdoms and the movies of the Battle of Crossing the River, it is the Water Margin.

Before, because of the cold weather, filming this kind of scene was really sinful, so I put it in the back, of course, the most important thing is that the time does not conflict, if it is really winter, it should be filmed.

During the filming of this day, Ning Yuan joked there: "Three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, Chunjiang plumbing, all the heroes and prophets......"

Then, Ning Yuan was caught by a group of strong men with bare shoulders and big muscles, carried them together, and threw them into the water, and they were still laughing on the shore and asking:

"Who is the prophet? Hahahaha, Xiao Ningyuan, who is the prophet now?"

has been in the crew for so long, Ning Yuan has also become familiar with them, and they all like Ning Yuan's little brother.

Except for a few young actors, Ning Yuan was the youngest in the crew, and he had just passed his twentieth birthday when he joined the group.

However, in Ning Yuan's previous life, Xiu Qing, who played Hua Rong, was 75 years old, and he was in his early twenties when he joined the group, even if he was not twenty-three years old when it was broadcast.

It's quite enjoyable to watch them shoot the scene of the water battle, Ning Yuan doesn't know much about the water, and he wants to go down and flutter twice, not to mention the others.

When the actors were first selected, they were also interviewed for their water nature, and they were all bull fork characters.

is not only water battles, but also those action scenes, because the casting is targeted, so except for some particularly difficult ones, there are basically few stand-ins.

Even Liang Li, who played the role of Sun Erniang, when she first met Wu Song, the two had a fight, and she went into battle in person at the beginning, even if she had never filmed an action scene before, she also worked hard and practiced hard, plus Yuan Heping was experienced, and adjusted the action according to her own design.

But halfway through the shooting, Liang Li had to use a stand-in because she was pierced by a prop stake, and she was still haunted by this incident many years later.

Water Margin's martial arts drama is definitely indispensable, and basically every three or five actors will be injured. The ten-minute scene that the audience sees may take more than half a month to film, and an action often has to be filmed dozens of times.

However, it is precisely because of the appropriate casting that it also saves the crew a lot of time and money during filming.

It is not only the actors' intentions, but also the directors behind the scenes, who take great care of every scene, and pay great attention to even small details, not only new, but also suitable.

For example, the splashes, bubbles, ripples, blood, flames, smoke, etc., in the water battle, they tried it many times each time before shooting, although it took a lot of effort to shoot.

But in the end, the effect came out, and everyone was very satisfied.

Now the filming time of Water Margin in Ning Yuan's previous life is a few years later, not only the technology but also the equipment have been updated, so the shooting progress is much faster than in the previous life.

And because of the postponement of time, their polishing time for the script has also been extended for a long time, which makes the filming process very smooth, after all, except for the small flaws found during the shooting, there are few loopholes.

Including the set, scene, and character composition, the director and assistant director were also well prepared before the start of filming.

There are three popular versions of the original Water Margin, 104, 120 and 70, and the script is the 104 version with the highest story completion and the most widespread folk dissemination - Song Jiang surrendered, so he went to fight Fang La.

In the process of adaptation, the real background of the history of the Song Dynasty was referenced, especially the battle part of Zhengfangla, and the re-creation content of the storytelling.

The difference between the storytelling and the original book is that they will add and delete changes every year according to the audience's feedback, which is more in line with the public's taste, such as the adaptation of Lin Chong's death, which comes from this.

And in the original work, I don't know if the author forgot or was negligent, in the face of Gao Yu's big enemy being caught up the mountain, and finally being put down the mountain, there was no description of Lin Chong, even if he didn't have the courage to kill him, he shouldn't be described.

In the end, it was written in the original book that Lin Chong died of illness after the expedition to Fangla, which is much more bland than the adaptation, far less shocking than in the TV series.

Because of Ning Yuan's good memory, he memorized the original book fluently, and felt that the focus of the script, in addition to the changes in the timeline of individual characters, was the adjustment of the narrative rhythm of the original work.

The original work of Water Margin is the form of the introduction of characters in the early stage and the form of large group dramas in the later stage.

The adaptation of the script adjusts the plot to be suitable for film and television performance, with main characters, concentrated contradictions, and a narrative rhythm of main scenes.

To this end, with Liangshan Juyi as the dividing line, the first half focuses on portraying the main characters Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Song Jiang, and Wu Song, screening the plot around their encounters, bringing out the heroes, removing some supporting roles and side stories in the original work, and ensuring the compactness of the plot.

And in the second half, it is mainly the heroes of Liangshan who fight everywhere.

However, this part has also been adapted, one is to merge some similar and not very exciting battles, and the other is to highlight the contradictions around Zhao'an.

For example, to increase the friendship between Fang La's subordinates and the heroes of Liangshan, and even the black bull secretly sent Qiu Bo to a sister under Fang La, which contrasted with the sword soldiers behind.

also added the scene of Song Jiang and Gao Yu fighting in the process of conquering Fangla.

and then cut the drama of the conquest of Liao, and Zhao'an completely became a big cup of cannon fodder for infighting.

There are also these two obvious changes to the original work: one is to change the black stalks of the heroes.

For example, when the Mandarin Duck Tower beautified Wu Song, and when Lin Chong went down the mountain to make a name statement, he added the scene of letting go of the mother and son in distress and sighing desolately, after all, he even killed the enemy, it was in the case of bullying and bullying, and he was completely desperate to kill the two guys who wanted to burn him, not to mention innocent people.

And Hu Sanniang's marriage to the bantam tiger also increased the drama of being moved by the truth, although it is a bit ridiculous here.

But before the Water Margin, there were many scripts that put the two together, and the original author estimated that he used it directly.

And the demon image like Gongsun Sheng in it, as well as those ghosts, souls, and fighting things, have been removed...... It can't be made into a mythological drama.

And then there is the adaptation of women, Xiao Pan and they will not talk about it, there is flesh and blood, and the adaptation of Master Li also makes people sigh, there are always some heroes who have a good end in the Water Margin, such as Master Li who packed up the gold and silver, and followed Yan Xiaoyi back to the mountains and forests to go boating on the lake, this ending is too beautiful to think!

Of course, the most bullish should be standing next to Ning Yuan at this time, shirtless Yang Baoguang played the mixed river dragon Li Jun, this brother, in the original book after the expedition to Fang La, after the fraud and retreat, and later with Tong Wei and Tong Meng The two brothers went overseas by shipbuilding, and finally became the lord of Siam, which is described in detail in the Qing Dynasty's "Water Margin".

Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, I was filming in early summer, and the water war was also filmed, and finally the last scene was filmed.

Fight the tiger.

Not only Wu Song, but also Li Kui, the two tiger scenes were specially arranged to the end.

Moreover, even real tigers are used.

I rented a Bengal tiger from the circus, which is majestic, and you can feel its fierceness in a cage, but its eyelids have been drooping, squinting, as if you can't sleep.

The tiger can't give it too much to eat, and if it's too full, it won't move, and it won't cooperate with the action, but if it doesn't eat enough, the actor will have a great risk when facing it, even Ding Haifeng's Wu Song can't parry.

At that time, it was a tiger and Ding Haifeng in the same area, and everyone else was driven out, only the director and cinematographer were retained, mainly for fear that there would be an accident when the tiger was powerful.

As a result, the tiger still didn't cooperate, always sleeping, and couldn't shoot at all.

can only use this tiger to cooperate with Zhao Xiaorui to film the scene of Li Kui fighting the tiger, of course, it is not all real tigers, basically true and false, but this is already a risk.

And Wu Song is too famous for fighting tigers, of course he can't be like Li Kui, so this tiger can't be filmed, so he can only change another tiger.

This tiger is not as big as the previous one, but it looks wilder, and Ding Haifeng completed the scene of Wu Song fighting the tiger under such circumstances.

Because everyone was cleaned up, Ning Yuan didn't see this scene, but it took a long time, and from time to time he could hear the roar of tigers in the forest, which was really shocking.

Looking at the assistant director next to him, Lu Tao's erha, he knew that his legs were weak in fright, and he went directly to the ground, making Ning Yuan laugh, and Lu Tao kicked him speechlessly:

"Where's your usual energy? Are you pretending to be a dead dog now?"

Ning Yuan said with a smile: "Its heart is broken at the moment, and in front of the tiger, it is estimated that most of them have weak legs." ”

"Hahahaha......" The crowd was happy again.

Wu Song's fight against the tiger can be said to be the scene that the whole "Water Margin" has spent the most effort to film, and it is from this scene that Wu Erlang's prestige is established in the rivers and lakes.

Because the tigers used are all real tigers, which are very dangerous to the actors, it is put as the last scene before the Water Margin is completed.

In Ning Yuan's previous life, Ding Haifeng later said in an interview: "At that time, because I was young, I didn't think about the consequences at all, and after working hard for so long and putting in so much effort, the last scene must be filmed well." ”

Li Kui's actor Zhao Xiaorui also said in an interview: "At that time, the crew bought 100,000 yuan of insurance, if it really hung up, 100,000 yuan was enough for the family to spend a few years at that time." ”

This time, when Ding Haifeng came out, everyone asked him how he felt, he waved his hand directly, so tired that he didn't want to say anything, and then he rested for a while before he smiled bitterly:

"It's so scary, I was tense when I got to it, and there was only nervousness in my eyes, but fortunately, the director said that this look and this reaction were very real, otherwise I wouldn't be able to concentrate on acting at all. ”

Although there are few words, you can also feel the risk, not to mention being bitten, even if you are scratched by your claws, it is not so uncomfortable.

Cat owners know that being licked feels as rough as scrub, not as soft as a human tongue because of the barbs on it.

Of course, the cat's barbs are not obvious, but the tiger is different, the barbs on its tongue can be much sharper, and they stretch as freely as its claws, and once they are all opened, they will have to lose a piece of skin if they lick it.

So, no success can be taken lightly.

Those who use rag dolls as tigers, although they can't be said to be bad, after all, personal safety is also important, but for the audience, there may not be that tense and exciting feeling when watching it.

Even if there is high technology in the future, you can use computers to do special effects, but in the green screen filming this kind of scene, no matter how superb the acting skills are, can the look and tension be the same as facing a real tiger?

Not to mention the tiger, Ning Yuan remembered that in the past, he used the lit incense to set off firecrackers, and he began to tremble before he could click his hands.

Of course, it's not the kind of coiled cannons in rolls, but on the first day of the first lunar month, picking up fish on the street that other people's houses set off last night, but didn't blow up - at that time, there was no money to buy matchsticks, so I could only pick up this kind of enjoyment.

This kind of cannon may have water on the ground because it was blown out of the pan cannon, or it was extinguished when it hit the ground, and it was not ignited, but most of the fuse had been burned off, and only one or two centimeters were left, so once it was ignited, it should be thrown away immediately, otherwise it would have to be blown up.

From this point of view, Ding Xiaofeng and Zhao Xiaorui are really bullish!

However, the crew also bought insurance for them in advance, the version in the previous life was a few years ago, it was okay to buy insurance that paid 100,000 yuan, but now it is definitely not enough, and it is 300,000 yuan.

Although this amount is not worth mentioning compared to the future, for now, compared to their salary, it is already several times that of the whole play.

It's just that no matter how much compensation they have, it is not as important as life for them and their families, but for the sake of their careers, they can only overcome it.

After the shooting, everyone present applauded them, and some people presented flowers.

But at this time, a thought suddenly popped into Ning Yuan's mind...... Why did the director arrange the scene of fighting the tiger to the end?

Ponder the horror......

After the finale, everyone was elated, and in the banquet hall of the hotel, they were all drunk and red.

Because it's summer now, everyone drinks beer, even if it's beer, can't hold up a lot of beer, and finally the toilet is overcrowded.

At the finale banquet, Liu Huan also came, and sang the "Song of a Good Man" composed by Yi Ming and Zhao Jiping.

Yi Ming and Zhao Jiping have collaborated on many songs, including "Mansion Gate" and other popular music, all of which are from them.

And Yi Ming's wife Tong Lei is also a composer, and the song "A Good Man's Life is Safe", which resounded throughout the land of China in the 90s, was created by the couple, and this song is also the theme song of "Desire" starring Li Xuedao that year.

Listening to this rugged music with your own ears, even if the hotel's sound is not as good as the concert hall, it still makes people's blood boil, and everyone sings in chorus at the end:

"When the road was uneven, he roared,

Shoot when it's time to shoot, wow,

Wow in Kyushu in a hurry——

Hey, hey, hey......, hey

At last when everyone staggered upstairs, there were still many people singing there, and when the song began again: "The great river flows eastward, the stars in the sky—"

Ning Yuan coldly took the sentence of "Lu Binghua": "The stars in the sky don't speak~"

So, everyone was led astray, and when they came back to their senses and wanted to sing again, they found that Nima couldn't find the key......
