Liu Li likes the story of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" very much, and he has always wanted to cooperate with Lu Xiaoran once, so he came directly after receiving the invitation.

Mountain carving, Ni Dahong...

Ni Dahong is of course a good actor.

Why did you want him to play "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", in addition to image and acting considerations, of course, it is also because of Tangtang's recommendation - he is a signed artist of Tangtang Studio!

It can't be regarded as a contract, it can only be regarded as an affiliation - his work unit is still the National Theater.

Ni Dahong is definitely the kind of actor who is getting more and more flavorful - he debuted in 84 and became famous in the entertainment industry in 05...

The debut work is "Garland Under the Mountain", and the role of real red is Sun Maocai of "Qiao's Courtyard".

That's right, it was recommended by Chen Jianbing, and later, the two collaborated on "Three Kingdoms".

Good actors are really attracted to each other, Chen Jianbing, Ni Dahong, and Zhang Yi have a good relationship...

Including this time in "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", Zhang Yi also came to make a cameo appearance in Luan Ping...

found no, Chen Jianbing and Ni Dahong are both the kind of 'facial paralysis' actors.

Interpret a completely different character image with one expression: there is a saying that "the sound is loud, but the elephant is invisible". This kind of ability to express what you want to express invisibly, seemingly without fancy skills and complex actions, actually requires a long period of accumulation and experience, as well as a grasp of understanding and scale.

You have to look at the eyes!

The 203 squad, except for Lin Gengxin and Chen Xiao, all the other actors are the new generation who are not well-known, but have good acting skills.

Hutou Mountain's Eight King Kongs, Lao Cao claimed Lao Ba - just that 'sister-in-law, leave a way for Lao Jiu to live!'

The other seven, in addition to the two who played more roles, invited Wu Gang, Zhang Jing, the eldest and the second, the main contribution was to bring more than 300 people to be beaten by the more than 30 People's Liberation Army, and the second child also doubted Yang Zirong's true identity by the way...

The other five are all random people - this is casual in the sense of Lu Xiaoran, but to be able to play Lu Xiaoran's play, you must have acting skills and strength!

In fact, it is impossible to establish a clear character for each character in a movie of 120 minutes!

Even if it's the 203 squad, it's hard!

When Yang Zirong joined the team, the main characters could already be seen clearly: 203 and the only female Bai Ru needless to say, they must be the core of the team, plus a bespectacled Gao Bo, a tank with a machine gun, basically these people, count more, there are two people with sniper rifles, and the rest are all soy sauce parties...

This is still the side of the People's Liberation Army, the frontal side, the side with a lot of lens resources, a battle was fought, and the audience got to know these people from the military uniforms.

But what about the bandits?

It must not be like the People's Liberation Army, where everyone shows their hands to kill people, nor can it be like in the model play, although there is no difference between eight people, and two words are clearly written on their faces: bad guys.

So you will find that the character and temperament of the bandits are obviously much more vivid than those of the PLA...

That's not enough points!

So what to do?

You can only work on your makeup!

For example, Lao Qi left him with braids - the Manchu Qing Dynasty left a young man...

This routine is common in quite a lot of martial arts and film and television works, the positive character has to go through a lot of things, fights, and many hardships to make people understand that his heart is actually like this, but the negative character is not, as soon as they meet, they jump out, take a Qimen weapon to make it bad, and then be killed.

But the eighth played by Lao Cao is funny...

……

Snow Town, the first battle of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is the plot of Team 203 encountering a small group of people in Weihu Mountain, and then annihilating them all...

Lu Xiaoran was directing the scene.

Chen Zhixi nestled in the car, covered with a blanket, Lu Xiaoran got in the car to keep warm, and drank saliva by the way, she handed him the blanket and asked by the way: "Director, this is too exaggerated, will it be said to be a divine drama?"

“… I can't really shoot the story of Yang Zirong defeating 13 people, that's too simple, I have to zoom in on a little bit!"

The real "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is not interesting, and there are only 13 people in the group of mountain carvings.

Why outwit?

Because the mountain carving set up three checkpoints along the road of Weihu Mountain, if a large force was sent to clear it, no matter which checkpoint was alarmed, the bandits could escape without a trace.

How did Yang Zirong outwit it?

Every time they crossed a checkpoint, two bandits stepped forward to talk, and then tied up the sentry and escorted them up the hill together. A short distance after the third checkpoint, you will arrive at the lair of the "Mountain Eagle", a wooden shed known to the locals as a horse frame house.

Yang Zirong ordered each to occupy a favorable position and aim their guns at the bandits.

There were a total of 7 bandits in the shed, and one of them, a thin old man with white hair, a black face, a hooked nose, and a goatee, was the notorious "mountain eagle".

Yang Zirong ordered the soldiers to tie up the "mountain eagle" with several other bandits, and without a single shot, they took the bandits' nest and captured the mountain eagle and 13 bandits alive - this is the 'outwitting Tiger Mountain' recorded in many official histories...

There are no impregnable fortresses, no machine guns, artillery, tanks, planes, no so-called advance maps, not even eagles ...

You say it's shooting like this, is it interesting?

"First of all, from the background of the story, if the facilities and conditions on Weihuzhai Mountain need to be "outwitted" by Unit 203, then it means that the bandits must have the advantage of firepower and facilities.

Historically, there were indeed weapons factories left by the Japanese, and there were also more than 1,000 bandits.

In this way, let's graft it, "Zashan Diao used a plan to take over the arsenal, gathered thousands of soldiers and horses, and held the planes and tanks left by Japan in the Northeast." ”

Therefore, Unit 203 is almost impossible to rely on the words of more than 30 people alone, and can only "outwit"! In this way, the story structure is established!"

"Is it possible to shoot a big scene because of arms?"

“… You're so smart, okay, I'll go down first, you call Ya and Yu Nan to come up and get warm!"

Qinglian played by Yu Nan is actually also serving the mountain carving - there is love, and the mountain carving is more like a normal bad person!

As for why there is a big scene - it really is to attract the audience!

Lu Xiaoran didn't think about educating the audience at all, this is a standard commercial popcorn movie.

……

"Pay attention to the frost, it's too cold in this place..."

"Don't worry, we're professional!"

The crew has been stationed in two groups of medical teams for a long time, and the snow town is suitable for filming, but it will be dark at five o'clock in the afternoon in this broken place, and the lights can only be turned on manually...

The temperature must be more than ten degrees below zero, otherwise, you can't take pictures of snow!

Filming war scenes is divided into simple shooting methods, as well as complex shooting methods, the simple shooting method is to make a show, and the later stage relies on sound effects and editing, without a large panorama, and the more complex ones are that there are a lot of people, which require scheduling and cooperation, and more explosion.

Lu Xiaoran has never filmed this kind of scene, but he knows this thing very well.

How to attract people's attention, you have to do enough things later, such as the moment the bomb explodes, everyone's faces, etc...

Anyway, the first three days after arriving in the snow town were dealing with scheduling and a small number of performances, and then on the fourth day, the maid couldn't hold back and came to Lu Xiaoran...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for him to recharge, but I just want to ask why I asked her to play the little white pigeon.
