Chapter 101: Chinese Wedding (Part II)
"The wedding was filmed in Songcheng? Brother Zheng! How did you do it?"
Zeng Zhiwei looked surprised and even changed his name, he originally planned to shoot the final wedding scene in the Shaw Brothers Photography Studio, but he didn't expect Wang Zheng to go out and rent Shaw Brothers' biggest competitor, ATV's Song Cheng, without any cost, which made him puzzled, Qiu Degen, the boss of the Far Eastern Group, is not a good talker.
"It's nothing, I hit it off with Boss Qiu at first sight, and he was stunned that he didn't charge a penny of rent, which made me very embarrassed!"
Wang Zheng didn't want to make a big fuss about it, after all, it was his personal decision to go to Songcheng to film, and he didn't inform the producer Fang Yihua in advance, and after the filming was completed, I believe that Shao Tycoon who saw the finished film would not say much, although the tycoon and Qiu Degen are competitors, but they can take advantage of their old opponents, Shao Tycoon is still happy to see it.
Regardless of Zeng Zhiwei's black lines, Wang Zheng said to him: "Although Boss Qiu did not limit our filming time, we should not delay the normal operation of Songcheng, let the colleagues in the props department go to Songcheng to count the props first, make up for what is missing, and hurry up if there is really not, and try to finish the wedding scene in one day." ”
"Okay. Although Zeng Zhiwei had many doubts in his heart, he still arranged the work assigned by Wang Zheng first. On the set, he was the chief director, but often some of Wang Zheng's opinions gave him a lot of inspiration, which made him more and more convinced.
The next day, the crew of "Happy Events" conducted wedding filming in the palace in Songcheng, and the props needed were all available in Songcheng, and the performance troupe inside had a wedding in the Song Dynasty every day to attract tourists.
Choose a city to end your life, meet a person with a white head, pull a curtain of dreams, and Xu I will fall into the city. In Jin Yong's martial arts novels, ancient love is so gentle and long, and it is precisely for this reason that even in this Xiangjiang, where Chinese and Western cultures are stirring up each other, Hong Kong people do not reject Chinese-style weddings. In a modern metropolis where everything is speeding away, love must also be as delicate as the ancients.
"Wait for you to be green and silky, and you can spread ten miles of red makeup?"
In the temporary dressing room of the Songcheng Palace, looking at Guan Zhilin in a red wedding dress, Wang Zheng couldn't help but sigh to himself, Guan Zhilin wearing a phoenix crown is really too beautiful.
Guan Zhilin, who was wearing light makeup, narrowed his big eyes into crescent moons, and deliberately asked, "Although my hair has just been cut, it will soon reach my waist, when are you going to act?"
Wang Zheng didn't expect her ears to be so sharp, and her words of sighing and muttering could be heard by her, so she hurriedly excused herself: "This, you are almost pretending to paint here, I'll go and see if there is anything else to help the director over!"
After speaking, he quickly left the dressing room, leaving Guan Zhilin alone gritting his teeth and looking disappointed.
"I said Director Zeng, can you hurry up, it's almost noon, why don't you start filming yet?" Wang Zheng found Zeng Zhiwei, regardless of his sweat, and urged repeatedly.
Zeng Zhiwei didn't know what stimulated him. Regardless of the sweating profusely, he hurriedly explained: "There are many extras in this scene, and it will start soon, Ah Zheng, go and change your clothes." ”
The film crew had already filmed and preserved the buildings around the palace, and the wedding scene only needed to be carried out in the palace, so the blockade of Songcheng was lifted, and only the palace was cleared, which increased the number of tourists in Songcheng several times.
After all the work was ready, Zeng Zhiwei started, and the firecrackers that had been prepared at the scene were ignited.
In the middle of the palace hall, there is a big "Xi" word, and around the word Xi is a couplet, "and the pedicle flowers are in full bloom on the Long March Road, and the winged birds fly on the way to the four transformations", and the master of ceremonies in an ancient festive costume praised: "In the past, Hongmeng was opened, and Yin and Yang were materialized." All things are raised, and only people are primates. The love of children is long, and it is spread in the book. Today, I will get married as a gift, and I will see the letter in the guest. Eat together and drink together. Heaven and earth are the witnesses, and the sun and the moon are the names. Shaohua is beautiful, and she is a beautiful woman. Speech for the newlyweds, the auspicious time has arrived, please invite four couples to enter. ”
As the master of ceremonies spoke, on the red carpet in front of the palace, a team of eight little girls, wearing red Hanfu and carrying red palace lanterns, walked up to the palace hall and sang: "Qingqing Zijin, take care of my heart." But for the sake of the monarchy, it has been silent to this day. Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild apples. I have guests, drummers and shengs. ”
Behind the little girl are today's eight protagonists, Chang Lao, Wang Zheng, Zhang Guorong, and Zhou Xingchi, the four grooms, wearing crimson vermilion clothes, champion hats, black leather shoes, and a large belt around their waists, and they are very powerful and handsome. The four brides, Grandma Chang, Guan Zhilin, Weng Meiling, and Zhang Manyu, are wearing phoenix crowns, red silk shirts on their upper bodies, red flower robes, shawls on their shoulders, red skirts, red pants, and red satin embroidered shoes.
The four pairs of grooms took out the red silk and held the four brides, slowly walked to the middle of the palace hall, and after standing in front of the camera, they began to perform the ancient cumbersome rituals such as the Wo Yu ceremony, the same prison ceremony, the joint ceremony, and the hair knotting ceremony. It took a lot of time to put a set of etiquette down, and it was impossible to put all these cumbersome etiquette into the film, so you could only edit a few sets of shots in the later stage. After the ceremony was finally completed, it was time for the final glass of wine.
Guan Zhilin, who was dressed as a bride in ancient costume, looked beautiful and delicious, looking at her face that could be broken by blowing bullets close at hand, Wang Zheng and her held hands and drank this wine that represented death in ancient times.
After all the ceremonies, the four couples stood in a row holding each other's red silks and sang the last blessing to the camera.
"Sing in unison, there are happy events in the family, happy and auspicious, Wishing you prosperity!"
After the four couples finished singing, they faced the camera, which was just right for the time of the Chinese New Year.
"Cut, perfect!" Director Zeng Zhiwei held a loudspeaker and said loudly: "I announce that all the scenes of "The Best Happy Event" have been filmed and officially completed today, thank you for the joint efforts of all the staff, I will be the host tonight and give you more food!"
As soon as Zeng Zhiwei's words fell, the scene became a sea of cheers, and after more than three months of filming, the second Shaw Brothers Chinese New Year drama was finally successfully completed in their hands.
When the crew began to pack up the equipment, Secretary Wang, who was dressed in a suit, found Wang Zheng and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, you are really talented, your crew is filming in Songcheng, and the flow of passengers is three times more than usual!"
Wang Zheng smiled lightly: "Don't dare to be a talent, after this drama is released, the flow of people in Songcheng will only increase!"
Secretary Wang nodded yes, and said cautiously: "There are a few senior members of our Far East Club outside, who admire Mr. Wang and several leading actors in the play very much, I wonder if they can come in alone and sign autographs with a few photos?"
"Secretary Wang, our crew will hold a simple fan meeting in a while to give back to the fans for their support to us, if your members want to sign autographs, go to the queue in a while. ”
Wang Zheng categorically refused without thinking about it, in his heart, all fans are equal, regardless of status.
