Chapter 275: The road is long
There is a good saying that different ways do not conspire with each other, but Lin Xiaoguang and Zhang Jizhong are always two people with different opinions, but because of the play "The Condor Heroes", they must deal with each other patiently every day.
Of course, Zhang Jizhong is the most influential behind-the-scenes boss of the entire Condor crew, although sometimes, he occasionally listens to Lin Xiaoguang's opinions, but most of the time, whether it is good or bad, he will stick to his own ideas.
After all, in the drama "Condor", Zhang Jizhong is not only a producer, but also a small shareholder behind the scenes, and has the identity of a senior director, his status in this crew is almost the same, not to mention Lin Xiaoguang, even the chief director Yu Min has to act completely on his face.
Lin Xiaoguang also understands that he is light-hearted, if it weren't for the sake of filming well, he wouldn't always be cheeky to argue and theorize with Zhang Jizhong.
Fortunately, Zhang Jizhong is also an understanding person, not a real dictator, even if he doesn't like Lin Xiaoguang usually chattering crookedly with him and saying those big truths, but sometimes, he has to admit that Lin Xiaoguang is a good actor with intentions and ideas.
In fact, many of Lin Xiaoguang's opinions were also felt by Zhang Jizhong, but in order to maintain his majesty in front of everyone, he always refused to compromise with Lin Xiaoguang, a radical young man.
7 a.m.
Return to the inner hall of Yunzhuang.
The crew was busy setting up outside the house, and as soon as Lin Xiaoguang put on makeup, he sat in the room with director Yu Min and chatted, and by the way, he asked Yu Min about photography.
Seriously, after filming TV series for so many years in major crews, it is the first time that Lin Xiaoguang has seen a director like Yu Min who is proficient in lighting.
Like the national teacher Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei, Yu Min is also a photographer, as if in this circle, all directors who have transformed from photographers are extremely particular about the requirements for the picture, you look at Zhang Yi's movies, whether it is "Hero" or "Ambush on All Sides", it doesn't matter how the story is told first, but its picture is absolutely impossible to find fault.
Yu Min is no exception, in the filming process of the TV series "The Condor Heroes", a large number of movie shooting techniques were used, and what surprised Lin Xiaoguang the most was the lighting of this drama.
As far as Yu Min's lighting level is concerned, let alone now, even ten years later, in the entire TV circle, Yu Min is second to none, whether it is a day or night scene, the use of light is particularly ingenious.
Like the scene when Xiaolongnu first appeared before, there was a cold voice in the air, the camera shifted to the roof, the beauty was independent, supplemented by a strong cold light behind her, outlining the graceful and elegant figure of Xiaolongnu, setting off a mysterious atmosphere, which not only attracted the attention of everyone in Chongyang Palace, but also aroused the curiosity of the audience.
Hear the voice first, then see its shadow, and then see its person last.
Xiaolongnu's shocking appearance of "twists and turns" has made Lin Xiaoguang unforgettable.
Lin Xiaoguang and Yu Min were talking elatedly, and someone walked in, bald, with a big fat face, small eyes, and walked like a 300-pound child.
"Hey Zhou Gang, you came just in time, hurry up and help move props and lose weight. Yu Min was happy when he saw him.
"Director, I haven't put on makeup yet...... the fat man named Zhou Gang said with an embarrassed face.
"Then why are you stunned, filming is about to start, why don't you hurry up. Yu Min couldn't help but urge.
"Oh, okay, director, I'll go ...... right away"
"Director Zhang, this guy looks very raw, who is playing?" Lin Xiaoguang asked casually.
"Darba, disciple of the Golden Wheel. ”
Lin Xiaoguang asked puzzledly: "Isn't Darba a thin man? Why did you choose a big fat man?"
Lin Xiaoguang remembers clearly, whether in the original book or in the screenwriter's script, there are two times to describe the image of Darba, the first time is to describe the thin, and the second time is to have a thin face.
In the play, he didn't wear a red robe or a gold crown, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that he is too fat, so fat that I don't know if the word "fat" can describe his figure!
Of course, whether Darba is fat or thin has no effect on the plot, Lin Xiaoguang just doesn't understand, why is he cast like this? In the original book, it was written that he was an extremely thin person, but Zhang Jizhong chose a person who was extremely fat.
Is this arbitrary or is there any basis for this? In the original work, Darba's "innate divine power" is said through the mouth of Qiu's position, can it be said that people born with divine power must have a huge body?
However, Darba in the 83 version of Hong Kong Wireless is also a very fat person, and Darba in the 95 version of Hong Kong Wireless seems to be fatter, however, Darba in these two versions cannot be compared with the Darba selected by Zhang Jizhong!
Looking at the back of the fat man leaving, Lin Xiaoguang looked helpless, and asked Yu Min suspiciously: "Director, can't Darba be thinner? Is it so difficult to find a thinner actor?"
When Yu Min heard this, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and then comforted himself with self-deprecation: "Xiaoguang, don't be impatient, the teacher naturally has his reason for such a casting, in my opinion, the two brothers, Darba and Huo Dushi, one fat and one thin, stand together, which is not only easy to distinguish, but also seems to have a comedic atmosphere." ”
After listening to Yu Min's plausible answer, Lin Xiaoguang nodded knowingly, no more nonsense, he knew that whatever he said now was superfluous, Zhang Jizhong had brought the actor back, what was the use of arguing with Yu Min by himself?
On weekdays, fed up with Zhang Jizhong's commanding style, Yu Min and Lin Xiaoguang can be described as difficult brothers, and they are both fallen people in the world.
Lin Xiaoguang also understands more and more why Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang and other actors will transform into directors after becoming famous.
Everyone knows that except for "puppet" directors like Yu Min, almost all directors are the leaders of the entire film and television drama creation.
They use their own thinking to explain and elaborate on the script, and convey the core and theme of the work, as well as the director's own thoughts and pursuits, through the progress of the plot and the performance of the actors.
Moreover, the identity of the director also means more right to speak, and the actor can have more room to convey his ideas.
Years of acting experience will allow actors to form their own views on scenes, layout, design, etc., and self-directing and acting, from the whole of the movie to the details, are controlled by themselves, which is very attractive to actors.
Especially in the past two months, Lin Xiaoguang has been fed up with the theory of Zhang Jizhong every day, and often has nothing to achieve, and he is more and more looking forward to the day when he will become a director who can express his true thoughts.
There are many scenes in Guiyunzhuang today, mainly about Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu at the martial arts conference, teamed up to drive away the Golden Wheel Dharma King, and the heroes cheered for Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu.
Because this kind of play is a group play, with hundreds of actors participating in the performance, for safety and in order to better complete the filming work, Zhang Jizhong was on the scene from morning to night, personally scheduling and directing the actors' performances.
Lin Xiaoguang doesn't know how people cheered in the Song Dynasty, so he doesn't know what the specific scene of this "cheering and cheering" is, but it is nothing more than cheering and cheering in his imagination.
But Zhang Jizhong felt that only cheering was not enough to express the excitement of the group of heroes, so he arranged a unique plot, planning to let the group of heroes lift Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu up and throw them up.
As we all know, in modern sports, it is very common and ubiquitous for the winner to be lifted up and thrown into the air by his teammates.
But in the Song Dynasty, whether people would do this, Lin Xiaoguang did not know.
Thinking of the plot where the heroes wanted to lift Yang Guo up and throw him into the air, Lin Xiaoguang always felt a little awkward, but he didn't think it was too much, but then, Zhang Jizhong told Yu Min that when the little dragon girl was also lifted up and thrown into the air by everyone, Lin Xiaoguang was a little dumbfounded!
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhang Jizhong to call Liu Qianqian to him and told him softly: "Qianqian, you don't have to be afraid of anything, I will ask the staff to take safety measures for you." ”
Despite this, thinking that she was about to be thrown into the air by a group of strange male extras, Liu Qianqian was still a little apprehensive and hesitant in her heart, and wanted to refuse Zhang Jizhong's request, but because of the master-apprentice relationship, she didn't lower her face and open her mouth to refuse.
And Lin Xiaoguang on the side seemed to see Liu Qianqian's difficulties, and went up directly to reason with Zhang Jizhong: "Director, I think that even in such an open modern age, it is inappropriate for a woman to be lifted up by a group of strange men and thrown in the air. ”
"Tell me, why is it inappropriate?" Zhang Jizhong looked at Lin Xiaoguang with wide eyes, as if he was holding back his anger and did not get angry on the spot.
Seeing Zhang Jizhong's grim look, Liu Qianqian was also a little at a loss, but she was moved by Lin Xiaoguang's standing up in her heart.
Lin Xiaoguang didn't care, and continued to tell Zhang Jizhong what he thought: "The background of this story is in the Song Dynasty, but does this seem to be in the Song Dynasty? Is this like the Song Dynasty that talked about the way of Confucius and Mencius, and the feudal etiquette was the most serious?"
"How can they ignore even the most basic etiquette of whether men and women give or not kiss, is it necessary to be so excited?"
Zhang Jizhong made a straight face, waved his hand and said: "I don't agree with you saying this, this is Jin Yong's martial arts drama, the children of the rivers and lakes have always been informal, and most of them don't pay attention to feudal etiquette." ”
This time, Lin Xiaoguang was really angry with Zhang Jizhong's crooked reasoning, and couldn't help sneering: "Hehe, it's these so-called sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, and then they will strongly despise the master-apprentice relationship between Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, you say, do they really not pay attention to feudal etiquette?"
Looking at Zhang Jizhong's speechlessness when asked by Lin Xiaoguang, Liu Qianqian wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, at this moment, Lin Xiaoguang in her eyes was like a god falling from the sky, bright to the side of her face as if inlaid with a circle of golden light, although her face was a little dirty and dirty because of the needs of the role, and she felt dirty, but she was still a handsome posture that cracked the sky.
