Chapter Seventy-Four: Iron and Blood Pill Heart
In the original work of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", there is a very important character, that is, Huang Rong. It can be said that Huang Rong is the soul of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", if there is no Huang Rong, the plot of the novel cannot be developed, and the characters are difficult to play. Jin Daxia used a lot of twists and turns to express such a wonderful character when writing the role of Huang Rong! And Guo Jing is clumsy and true, Huang Rong is clever and true, they are all peerless people, in Jin Daxia's novels, they are considered the best spouses in the world, the happiest marriage!
On April 2, TVB officially announced the full cast of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes":
"Producer: Wang Tianlin. Director: Wang Tianlin, To Qifeng. Executive Director: Wang Zheng. Action Direction: Cheng Xiaodong. Starring: Huang Rihao, Weng Meiling, Miao Qiaowei, Yang Panpan, Zeng Jiang, Yang Zelin, Liu Zhaoming, Liu Dan, Xie Xian, Shi Jian. ”
The Legend of the Condor Heroes will be divided into three parts to start filming, and the first part will be officially launched on April 3.
The people of Xiangjiang who received the news had mixed reactions, and they were looking forward to the joining of the cutting-edge director Wang Zheng, but many people were skeptical about the unknown Weng Meiling and Huang Rong, the soul of the whole drama.
Later, the beautiful Liu Hongfang, who failed in "Ideal Huang Rong", broke the news to the media that TVB's open recruitment activities have insiders, Weng Meiling has long been determined by TVB, and the open recruitment is just to hype up the popularity of this drama.
One word stirred up a thousand waves, and the people were in an uproar, questioning the credibility of TVB, and Weng Meiling was pushed to the forefront for a while.
Chen Qingxiang, general manager of TVB's production department, urgently made a public relations, saying that Liu Hongfang was purely alarmist, and TVB officially terminated the artist contract with him, and if he deliberately smeared TVB again, TVB will take legal action!
It turns out that Liu Hongfang is purely grandstanding and deliberately falsely accused, after leaving TVB, she immediately switched to ATV, it is not ruled out that ATV is the driving force behind the scenes, "Shooting the Condor" is such a big formation, ATV cannot sit still.
Although the public has mixed opinions about the drama "Condor Shooting", the launching ceremony of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: Iron and Blood Heart" was held as scheduled on April 3. Compared with later generations, the filming of the Condor in this life started a few months later, mainly because Shaw Brothers spent part of their energy on the box office of the Chinese New Year.
Clear Water Bay, Shaw Brothers Film and Television City, and the costume photography factory are crowded with people, and various departments are stepping up to arrange the scene, which seems to be extremely busy.
The whole drama of "Shooting the Condor" has a total of 59 episodes, each episode is 45 minutes, and it has to be filmed while broadcasting, which undoubtedly brings a great test to all departments of the crew, and every aspect of the shooting must be designed in advance, otherwise it will affect the filming progress of the whole play, and thanks to a big director like Wang Tianlin, if it is replaced by To Qifeng or Wang Zheng, I am afraid it will be difficult to control this huge set.
After the start of the film to worship God, the set will be cleared, please leave all reporters and unrelated personnel, and the entire set will remain closed, because it is a state of broadcasting and shooting, so all plots need to be kept secret.
Compared with other busy staff, Wang Zheng seemed extraordinarily leisurely, Wang Tianlin did not assign him any tasks, he was also happy to be leisurely, with Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei, two temporary assistants, in various departments. Da Fei loves action design, so Wang Zheng threw him to Cheng Xiaodong, hoping that he could learn a little bit from Cheng Xiaodong. Wu Mengda volunteered to be Du Qifeng's assistant, and with his sleek personality, Wang Zheng was not worried about him. Liu Dehao went to the crew of "The Condor Heroes" after the last dinner, and there will be training in kung fu moves in the early stage, he rushed so actively, mainly because he could see Chen Yulian in advance, Andy is definitely a seed of infatuation!
"The little peach blooms without an owner, and the tobacco is vast with a night crow. Several ruined wells have always been people's homes. ”
During the Shaoxing period of Song Gaozong, Yue Fei was framed by Qin Hui and died, and then the Jin soldiers drove straight into burning and looting. This seven-character poem is about the fact that after the war, the original families have become dilapidated places with broken walls and tiles. And Niujia Village on the outskirts of Lin'an is one of the few pure lands, and the whole drama will start here!
The north wind is howling, the snow is falling, and Niujia Village, on the outskirts of Lin'an City, the southern capital, is snow-white, and this is just a scene from the novel!
Shaw Brothers Studios, No. 3 Studio, the blower blows foam crumbs flying, this is Niujia Village in the play, and the first scene of the first episode officially started filming.
"Jing Kang is ashamed, it is still snowing, the courtiers hate, when will it be destroyed. Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. To start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky. ”
In an antique room, Xie Xian, who played Yang Tiexin, and Zhu Tiehe, who played Guo Xiaotian, drank stuffy wine, sang Yue Fei's Man Jianghong loudly, and scolded the current emperor for being stupid and incompetent, and most of the good country was occupied by the golden dog.
"Ka, good, get ready for the next shot!"
Behind the monitor, Wang Tianlin nodded with satisfaction, this scene was rehearsed several times, and the first one of the start-up shooting was very successful.
Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei, who were onlookers, admired Xie Xian and Zhu Tiehe very much, so many dialogues and changes in expressions just now, Fourth Brother Xie and the unknown Zhu Tiehe were actually a perfect completion without a stumble, just like the people of that era, dissatisfied with the imperial court, ashamed of Jingkang's difficulties, and remembering the death of General Yue Fei, without a sense of disobedience.
Wang Zheng noticed the change in the expressions of the two, and took the opportunity to say to the two: "Now you know the gap between you and the old drama bones, the task of the two of you in the future is to observe the performance of these old drama bones, if you don't understand anything, you can humbly ask for advice, and now work hard to study, which will make you take a lot of detours in the future!"
Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei nodded thoughtfully, they didn't see Xie Xian's performance before, they both came to the Condor Shooting crew with a playful mentality, and now the two of them know the gap between themselves and these old drama bones, swept away the previous play mentality, and decided to start thinking seriously about learning, Wu Mengda, who followed Du Qifeng as an assistant, also had the mentality of learning with an open mind.
Since following Cheng Xiaodong, Da Fei is like a different person, changing his arrogance, and has special respect for Cheng Xiaodong, who was born in a martial arts family.
The next one is an action scene, directed by Cheng Xiaodong, such a round of shooting can allow other filming crews to have more preparation time, which is conducive to the filming process of the entire crew.
Xia Yu, who plays Qiu Chuji, and Liu Jiang, who plays Yan Honglie, the fight between the two is preparing to start filming, when Wang Zheng arrived at the fight venue, the props master in the field was urgently arranging the scene, because the story background takes place in winter, the trees, stones, etc. in the scene are all decorated with frost-like decorations by the prop master, and it can be seen from these small details that TVB attaches great importance to this play.
Cheng Xiaodong was designing actions for Xia Yu, Da Fei was listening very carefully next to him, and he didn't need Wang Zheng's supervision at all, seeing that they had finished designing, Wang Zheng stepped forward and said to Cheng Xiaodong with a smile: "Brother Dong, thank you for pointing out Xu Dafei, he didn't give you trouble, right?"
Cheng Xiaodong saw that it was Wang Zheng, he smiled, and said very boldly: "They are all their own brothers, what is there to thank you, Ah Fei is also involved in fists and feet, and can help me a lot!"
Although he knew that Wang Zheng was thinking about himself, Da Fei couldn't help but refute, and said arrogantly: "Pick, Ah Zheng, my fists and feet are not showy!"
Seeing that Da Fei had recovered his true nature, Wang Zheng hurriedly retired: "Okay, then I won't bother you to shoot!"
