At half past eight in the morning, Zhang Ran and the creative team came to the Ming and Qing Dynasty palaces to prepare for the morning's work. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The "Golden Armor" extras wearing various costumes in the palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties are the most eye-catching is a group of palace maids wearing thin clothes and light gauze, dressed very revealingly, and the low-cut outfits show the plumpness of women in the Tang Dynasty. When the palace maids saw Zhang Ran and their group of men staring at them, they shyly covered their chests with a veil.

Walking through the noon gate, Zhang Ran and they saw the blue shed built by the crew for the creative team, but they were not in a hurry to enter the shed to talk about creativity, many members of the team had never seen the film, and wanted to see how the movie was made, so they stood in front of the noon gate and watched from afar.

On the chrysanthemum stage, Chow Yun-fat was dressed in a golden dragon robe, with gray hair and beard, showing the spirit of a king; Gong Li changed into a golden court dress, and the golden phoenix headdresses on the hairpins on both sides were extremely eye-catching; Liu Ye, Zhou Jielun and Qin Junjie were wearing yellow and green court clothes respectively, which was very handsome.

Qin Junjie's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Zhang Ran at a glance, he walked over with Zhou Jielun and Li Man.

Zhou Jielun saw Zhang Ran and said with a smile: "Yesterday I heard Junjie say that you are here, and I looked for you twice at night, but your door is lit with a Do Not Disturb sign, and you are too busy!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "Jiang Ziqiang has something to do with me, and he chatted until late!" He found that Jay Chou was a little taller than before, so he stared at his feet and said, "How can your height catch up with me?

Jay Chou gave Zhang Ran a punch: "Damn, you will hit me as soon as you come, it's too faceless." This is requested by the director, in order to reflect the momentum of the general!"

Zhang Ran saw Qin Junjie giggling beside him, touched his head and said, "Junjie, Zhou Jielun didn't bully you in the crew, if he bullies you, tell me, I'll clean him up!"

Qin Junjie shook his head: "Brother Jielun is good to me, give me CD, and give me a lot of food!"

Zhang Ran smiled and nodded: "Yes, you are all men, you have to love each other!"

Zhang Ran and Jay Chou didn't talk for long, the crew had already arranged the scene, and the assistant director came over to inform Jay Chou that they were ready to shoot. Zhou Jielun and the others said hello to Zhang Ran and walked towards the chrysanthemum platform.

Soon, Zhang Yimou's characteristic voice came through the loudspeaker: "The cannon can't work, go higher." Okay, let's start shooting, everyone be quiet!"

This scene is a scene where the queen and her three sons go to the chrysanthemum stage to meet the emperor, which seems to be not difficult, but it is actually quite difficult. Because the queen and the three princes all had ghosts in their hearts, Zhang Yimou asked the four of them to have different mentalities and different expressions, so they would shoot again and again, and the four of them walked back and forth on the steps of the chrysanthemum platform several times, but they never reached the standard.

The members of the creative team thought it was a novelty at first, but after watching it for a while, they got bored. So everyone returned to the shed built by the crew and began to discuss the idea of the opening ceremony.

The scene was a bit noisy, and Zhang Yimou's shouts such as "stop" and "go again" came to the shed from time to time. However, these did not cause much interference to everyone, and what really gave everyone a headache was that they couldn't think of a move, and there was no direction at all for how to play the contemporary Chinese part. It is very difficult to express the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the Three Gorges Project, the satellite in the sky, and the reform and opening up.

In the end, Zhang Ran could only suggest that everyone put aside the contemporary part for the time being, and think about the ancient part first. In this way, the whole discussion became much more lively. The ancient part is not that it has not been acted, but that there are too many things that can be played, and it is a question of which one to use and which one to give up.

After the morning shooting, Zhang Yimou immediately rushed to the studio to have a meeting with the creative team. He proudly told everyone that he thought of two more ideas between filming.

Everyone joked with him: "It's not good for you to be half-hearted like this, if we are scolded after the movie is made, we won't bear this pot!"

Zhang Yimou was very confident in "Golden Armor", waved his hand and said: "No, there will be a lot less scolding in this play, after all, there is "Thunderstorm" as the foundation!"

Everyone was laughing, only Zhang Ran shook his head slightly, he knew that "Golden Armor" was second only to "Three Guns" in all Zhang Yimou's movies.

After chatting until half past one, the afternoon shooting was about to start again, Zhang Yimou confessed to everyone and went to the movie.

This afternoon, the creative team began to discuss the welcome ceremony, the opening ceremony began with a welcome ceremony, the welcome ceremony in Sydney was a group of people riding horses and waving flags to welcome the audience, the Athens welcome ceremony was a military band playing music, while a little boy in a small boat, waving the Greek flag to welcome the audience; what kind of way should the Chinese welcome guests from all over the world?

Zhang Jigang suggested using drums, 2008 drummers played drums together, and talked about the benefits of a bunch of drums, which was extraordinary, and could also allow drummers to chant "friends from afar, happy" while playing drums, which can express the enthusiasm of the Chinese people to welcome friends from all over the world.

Zhang Ran resolutely opposed the use of drums: "Since the Asian Games in 91, the welcome ceremony of the opening ceremony of the domestic games has basically used drums, which is too old-fashioned, and the audience's first reaction is how to use drums." Our requirement for the opening ceremony is to be new, the elements can be old, but the form of expression must be new. How can the drum be innovative? Can it still be called a drum if it is played in a different way?"

Chen Weiya immediately said: "Why can't the drum be innovative? It is completely possible to hang a big drum of six or seven meters into the air, and then the drummer will fly into the air to play the drum!"

Han Lixun retorted: "This can also be regarded as an innovation? This is still playing drums! Besides, you are not enthusiastic enough to play drums in the air alone!"

As for the issue of using drums, there are both supporters and opponents, basically half to half. However, when Zhang Yimou finished filming in the afternoon, the situation immediately changed after joining the discussion, and he was also resolutely opposed to using drums.

Both directors were against the use of drums, so there was no need for drums, and everyone began to think about other instruments. Someone wanted to use chimes, but the idea was quickly dismissed, the sound of chimes was too cold and not warm enough. Someone suggested using Se based on Cao Cao's "Short Song Xing" in "I have guests, drumming and blowing sheng", but it was also rejected because it was not enthusiastic enough.

Chen Weiya made a suggestion, and 2,008 actors dressed as Daqin soldiers and stomped on the spot with spears in their hands. This of his was opposed by everyone, everyone hoped to convey the image of the Chinese people loving peace through the opening ceremony, and as soon as you came up 2,008 soldiers stomped their guns on the spot, this is simply a naked propaganda of force!

While the creative team was discussing what instrument to use, the crew of "Golden Armor" was also nervously filming night scenes.

"Stop!" Zhang Yimou frowned slightly and shouted, "Li Man, you still don't feel right when you perform, come again!"

This scene is about the day of the Double Ninth Festival, Jiang Chan and her mother played by Li Man were chased and killed by the emperor, and were rescued by the queen played by Gong Li and brought into the palace. The queen is not kind to save them, but to expose the truth, Jiang Chan is the prince's sister, and Jiang Chan's mother is the emperor's original match. After Jiang Chan heard the news, it was like five thunderbolts and rushed out of the palace frantically.

However, Li Man couldn't play the scene where Jiang Chan ran out of the palace wildly, running back and forth several times, and the feeling of the performance was just wrong. Zhang Yimou told her about drama, analysis, and even forced her to ask how to act, but she couldn't act well.

"Stop!" After filming Li Man's performance twice, not only did not get better, but became worse and worse, Zhang Yimou was helpless about it, shook his head and said, "Let's rest for a while!"

Li Man glanced at the blue shed next to the noon gate, the lights inside were still on, she knew that Zhang Ran should still be in the meeting, so she walked up to Zhang Yimou and said, "Director, I want to ask Mr. Zhang how this scene is played." ”

If other directors hear this, they will probably be dissatisfied, what do you mean, can't I, the director, guide you? But Zhang Yimou is not a narrow-minded person, and he has absolute trust in Zhang Ran's ability to guide actors: "Then you should go quickly!"

Li Man trotted all the way to the creative team's shed, lifted the curtain and saw that Zhang Ran and the creative team were discussing fiercely, as if they were quarrelling. She felt as if she had come at a bad time, and wondered if she should quit.

When Zhang Ran saw Li Man, he remembered that Li Man had told him in the morning that it was difficult to perform a scene in the evening, and he promised to help her take a look, but he forgot about it when he was busy discussing, he stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot, I'll go with you now." ”

Li Man said: "Teacher Zhang, if you are busy, I won't bother you!"

Zhang Ran smiled: "We're also chatting nonsense now, I'll go with you to take a look!"

When he arrived at the scene, Zhang Ran took the script and looked at it, frowned and said, "It's nothing difficult to act, why can't it be acted?"

Li Man whispered: "I've never been crazy, no matter how I act, I can't act that feeling." ”

Zhang Ran shook his head and said, "If you think so, do you have to kill someone first to play a killer?"

Li Man bowed his head and said, "But I don't know how to act." ”

Zhang Ran said: "It's normal to be inaccurate in finding actors, Ang Lee filmed "Sense and Sensibility", and the actor Emma Thompson who played her sister was still an Oscar-winning actress, but she didn't feel right when she played her sister's endangered scene. Ang Lee said to Thompson, when your sister is about to die, you can't play sadness, even if you try your best, it's hard for the audience to be moved, you should play fear, afraid that you will lose that soul, your sister is the sensuality in your heart, if this sensibility dies, you will also fall into the emptiest bottomless pit, you have to experience the fear of falling into emptiness.

In fact, you are the same, don't think of the character as a madman, don't think about what a madman is like, so the acting will be superficial. You have to think about the hearts of the characters, what does it feel like for Jiang Chan to find out that the lover she loves is actually her own brother? The whole world has collapsed, and you feel that everyone is lying to you, and you have to experience that sense of despair. What did Jiang Chan want to do most at this time? You're not going to play a madman, you're going to play a poor guy who wants to run away from everything!"

Li Man thought about it carefully and laughed: "Teacher Zhang, I understand if you say that." ”

Soon, everything was ready again, Li Man stood in the performance area, while Zhang Ran and Zhang Yimou sat behind the monitor, waiting to watch her performance.

As the beginning of the command sounded, Li Man ran out of the hall screaming, and ran all the way to the carpet in front of the hall. Li Man let out a terrible scream as she ran, and her screams looked even more desolate and desperate in front of the empty hall.

Zhang Yimou was extremely satisfied, and couldn't wait to shout: "Very good, it's over!"

Li Man ran very hard, and when he heard Zhang Yimou's shout at this moment, his legs suddenly weakened, and he sat on the ground gasping for breath.

Zhang Ran walked to Li Man's side, looked at Li Man who couldn't stop panting, and said: "Remember, before the performance, you must analyze the role thoroughly, analyze each scene thoroughly, and you must grasp the heart of the character, only by grasping the heart of the character can you accurately shape the character!" After speaking, he walked to the shed in front of the noon gate.

Li Man looked at Zhang Ran's distant back and suddenly regretted it, this rare and fatal thing in his own eyes was easily performed after Mr. Zhang's analysis. If I had listened to him at the beginning and waited until the end of two years of training before coming out to film, I would definitely have become a very powerful actor.

It's just that now it's too late!

Qingcheng Wuji said

I'm really sorry, I had a bad cold in the past two days, and I was infused with fluids for two days, and I went home and slept. The chapter owed will be made up later!
