"Golden Mansion", large living room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoCountless crystal chandeliers, wall lamps, brilliant lights. A noble lady dressed in a gorgeous costume sits on a mahogany sofa and counts Buddhist beads and recites words.

A handsome and handsome young man, dressed in a slightly tuxedoed structured outfit between a trench coat and a suit, walked briskly to the side and sat down, hesitated for a second or two, and asked: "Mom, tired?"

The lady opened her eyes slightly: "What's the matter?"

"I want to go out for a walk. ”

"You kid, if you don't go out for a day, you'll be in a panic!"

"It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, just go around. ”

"Alas, let's go~"

The young man's expression was very calm throughout the whole process, and he couldn't see a trace of exaggeration and chicken thieves. But it can make a character who can't stand the restraints jump out of place.

"CUT, over! Father and mother, mother and aunt. Director Li was very satisfied with Gu Cheng's performance, and immediately jumped to the next set of shots in the same episode and in the same room.

After chatting with Gu Cheng last night, Director Li changed the shooting sequence today to help all the actors complete the "interpersonal relationship between each node in the big family" in their minds as soon as possible.

"Okay, we must perform the different levels of Jin Yanxi's disobedience to her parents. Now it's up to you to perform. When Director Li silently recited in his heart, several other actors had already appeared on the stage.

Kou Zhenhai, who plays Jin Yanxi's father "Prime Minister Jin", is also an old drama bone, and in terms of the number of dramas filmed, it is definitely the most in the group. I hope he can interact with Gu Cheng on some level.

"ACTION!" After the field notes finished playing the board, everyone immediately entered the state.

This scene, like the previous paragraph, is also Jin Yanxi being admonished by his elders in the living room, expressing his criticism for "not reading every day and wandering around". It's just that the protagonist of the admonition has changed from mother to father.

"Father, mother, aunt, I say hello to you. When did you come back, are you busy?" Jin Yanxi entered the scene like the previous set of shots.

"Why are you asking this?" Father Jin's voice was slow and majestic, and he slowly raised his head and stared at Jin Yanxi, staring at Jin Yanxi's heart, and hurriedly put down Erlang's legs that had just been raised when he sat down. Father Jin continued: "Looking forward to me leaving? Is it that I am not at home, and you can mess around every day!

Jin Yanxi was caught off guard: "Where is it! I look forward to your coming back every day, but I can't wait for it." ”

Fortunately, the golden mother immediately intercepted the conversation: "As soon as you come back, you will show the child's face!"

followed by a foreshadowing dialogue where the characters appeared, and then Jin's father asked Jin Yanxi's studies with a straight face: "How did you read the books you read last time?"

Jin Yanxi replied with a little luck: "I read it all!"

Director Li, who was outside the court, saw Gu Cheng's performance and his eyes lit up slightly.

According to the original intention of the script, Jin Yanxi should show some weakness at this time, because he did not study well.

"Let's see how he's going to play. Director Li thought silently in his heart, suppressing his urge to call CUT again.

In the field, Father Jin continued to ask with a straight face: "Then recite it to me!"

Jin Yanxi was stunned: "I just memorized it, how can I memorize it?"

"If you don't endorse books, what's the use of reading?" Father Jin's aura suddenly mentioned, "Since you can't go to school, then you will endorse books at home in the future!

At this time, according to the script, Jin Yanxi should be cowardly.

But Jin Yanxi, played by Gu Cheng, did not hesitate at this point: "I don't know which book my father is reciting when he governs the country? Is it possible that he still governs the country with four books and five classics like the former Qing Dynasty? The knowledge of foreigners is changing with each passing day, how many books can I read in my life?"

There is no such answer in the script, it is improvised by Gu Cheng. The old drama bone Kou Zhenhai was caught off guard, and his expression was shocked, and he quickly stabilized his position, aptly showing the anger of a feudal parent when he was confronted by his children.

Others also persuaded and blamed for a while, and let Gu Cheng's Jin Yan suit soften, and this was the end.

"CUT!" After shouting CUT, the field reporter looked at Director Li in a daze, and he didn't know whether this was counted or not. But after all, even if this scene in the script is over here, there will be nothing to play down without CUT.

Even Director Li was a little conflicted and motioned for everyone to rest for five minutes. He himself watched the replay slowly on the digital monitor, smacking and touching.

Obviously, Gu Cheng wanted to use the difference of "my mother is shallow and mainly relies on coaxing, and my father has experience and should be moderately reasonable and persuasive" to separate the young masters of the Jin family from the pure "evasion of control" of their parents.

But in this way, Jin Yanxi is not a pure gentleman, but like Jia Baoyu who rebelled against feudal etiquette......

"I feel very good, and the level of literature and art has been raised all of a sudden......, but why do I always feel that Jin Yanxi is being whitewashed by Gu Cheng step by step?

Director Li hesitated for a long time, and decided to keep it and wait for the other performances to be finished, and then watch the after-effects. After all, after the filming of the two episodes at hand, it will be released immediately for everyone to figure out and learn about the interpersonal relationships of the audience.

"Next!"

……

For four or five days in a row, Director Li became more and more satisfied with Gu Cheng's performance.

In front of the lascivious big brother who covets the maid by obscene means, Jin Yanxi showed both a little awe and a little disdain in her heart.

In front of the greedy second brother, who is bent on dividing up more family property from the family, he not only takes care of his brothers, friends and brothers, but also seems to be unable to understand why his brother is so greedy for money.

When he went out with the third brother who likes to raise Peking Opera Hua Dan and make friends with foxes and dogs, Jin Yanxi was curious and wanted to persuade, but when the third brother really had an accident and needed help, he could show righteous conspiracy......

Gu Cheng does his homework in his notebook every day, figuring out the details of the differences between the three brothers who are also gentlemen, and rigorously modeling with the thinking of a science student, filling it with his differentiated coping emotions.

In just one week, the technique he used to "reflect the layering of reverence for his parents" was imperceptibly transferred to all his brothers, sisters-in-law and sisters. The faces of the living beings in the "Grand View Garden" of the Golden Mansion are depicted lightly.

After the first two episodes were filmed, Director Li asked people to edit and produce them as quickly as possible and show them to everyone. Everyone summarized the relationship between the supporting characters and the supporting roles that were not mentioned in the script, and brainstormed to make the script thick and fleshed out.

Dong Jie and Gu Cheng acted against each other for a week, and felt more and more that Gu Cheng's depth was becoming more and more extraordinary.

It seems that that young man is really the noble son of the Pian Pian Turbid World, and he should naturally be born in the Golden Mansion or the Grand View Garden, and the whole person and the environment are naturally integrated.

After the shock, Dong Jie, who calmed down, occasionally chatted with Cheng Kun to open up the confusion in her heart.

Gu Cheng's progress is too mysterious in her eyes.

It's easier to look back on the fact than to anticipate the enemy's chance. After all, Cheng Kun was born in the Beijing Film class, and he has studied for several years.

He explained Gu Cheng's recent progress to Dong Jie like this: "Gu Cheng's speculation can be described as wonderful, but it is by no means won simply by acting skills. At the beginning, according to Director Li's requirements of 'benchmarking the Dream of Red Mansions', he completely figured out the interpersonal relationships of the wealthy families, so Gu Cheng was still far behind.

But victory is victory, there are countless 'red scientists' in the world, but there are no 'gold scientists'. Therefore, Director Li lowered the requirements, as long as the sense of hierarchy of interpersonal relationships is performed, it is not required that this level is really in line with the original work. At this time, an actor who has first-class talent in both acting and screenwriting may be able to outline and bring out the interpersonal context of the whole play. ”

In other words, today they brought Andy Lau and Liang Chaowei here to play Jin Yanxi, and of course they can completely defeat Gu Cheng, who still lacks experience, in terms of self-shaping. BUT IN TERMS OF CARRYING THE INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP OF THE WHOLE PLAY, THEY ARE NOT AS GOOD AS GU CHENG.

But this is not as good as the actors, not because the acting skills are not good, but because the actors only specialize in acting, and do not use screenwriters, let alone "red scientists" and "gold scientists".

Gu Cheng's advantage is precisely that he was the data director of an entertainment platform in his previous life, and the masterpieces he has reviewed in front of him are like a sea of smoke. So he's a cross-circle generalist.

WHEN HE CARRIED THE WHOLE AUDIENCE ON "METEOR GARDEN", HE RELIED ON BOTH ACTING SKILLS AND PHOTOGRAPHY TALENTS.

When it comes to "The Family of Gold Powder", it is the turn of both acting skills and screenwriting talents to carry, and perhaps some understanding of classical culture will be added.

This is a very narrow cross-circle talent demand. Perhaps there are only a few dramas in the world, such as "The Family of Gold Powder" or "Dream of Red Mansions", "Gone with the Wind", and "Downton Abbey", which may use the protagonist's comprehensive talents in these aspects, but Gu Cheng bumped into one of them.

Dong Jie listened to Cheng Kun's analysis and thought so. The mystery on Gu Cheng's body gradually faded, but he left more intoxicating talents.

is like a great sage with a lupine scarf, talking and laughing between the ashes, and then you can also use "my generation reads, don't seek to understand, just know the general outline." Looking for chapters and excerpts, the world's rotten Confucianism" and other words, defending himself for "not specializing in acting, knowing everything".

……

After filming the first two episodes, it was already the end of October. After the actors had a deeper understanding of the interpersonal context of the whole drama under the guidance of Gu Cheng's outline, Director Li had to return to the original shooting sequence: from episode by episode, back to scene by scene.

There is no other reason: the winter in the north is too cold, and the vegetation withers very early. If it's December, it's definitely not suitable for exterior shooting, because the trees will become bare and very ugly.

Director Li immediately decided to shoot all the suburban scenes at the end of October and November, and then shoot the interior scenes at the end of the year.

A large section of Gu Cheng and Dong Jie's emotional rivalry scenes were brought out - because almost all of the outing plots in the play were the plots in the love between Jin Yanxi and Leng Qingqiu.

Dong Jie is very involved in the play, and her grasp of the emotional scale is very good, and she has recovered the filming progress for a few days. Even all the kiss scenes are almost just one pass, no borrowing, no dodging, and completely entering the gradual scale of cold and hot in the cold and autumn.

It was already the beginning of November. After three or four days of playing with each other, Gu Cheng and Dong Jie are already very familiar with each other, and they have a strong sense of substitution. According to Director Li's arrangement, there will be two more days to enter the most beautiful scene in the whole play-

Jin Yanxi took Dong Jie to Xiangshan for an outing, and then in a sea of golden flowers, she laid out a flower bed with flowers, then kissed in the sea of flowers, and finally held hands quietly, lying peacefully on the flower bed, and admired the earth.

This scene is not only the climax of the emotional drama in the 40 episodes of the show, but also has to be cut out as the closing MV of the show's theme song "Dark Fragrance". Moreover, the sea of golden flowers also symbolizes the climax of the most intense cooking oil and prosperous brocade before the prosperity and decline of the wealthy family of the "gold powder family".

I saw him raise a tall building, I watched him feast guests, and I saw his building collapse.

Moreover, because of the use of flowers, this scene is the most untimely in the whole play. Because in another ten days and a half months, if the chrysanthemums have withered, then you will have to wait for a whole year, or use the greenhouse to create a much inferior fake scene.

Gu Cheng and Dong Jie are also becoming more and more serious.

However, they didn't expect that the set of this scene was really tortuous and difficult to deliver.

At the end of the day, Gu Cheng and Dong Jie were about to chat about the drama again and discuss how Huahai behaved. Director Li told them a bad news: "Xiao Gu, Xiao Dong, the script may need to be fine-tuned." You have to be prepared. The set of the chrysanthemum sea can't be made, so it may have to be changed to a sunflower sea. ”

Gu Cheng and Dong Jie were both surprised, completely unprepared.

At the beginning, in the script written by Liu, it was written that the hero and heroine were wandering in a sea of golden chrysanthemums on Xiangshan.

It is not unreasonable to choose chrysanthemums. Because the name of the heroine "Leng Qingqiu" is very cold in itself. In a cold autumn festival, the beauty of the elegant chrysanthemum, without the use of chrysanthemums, what else can be used?

and changed to sunflowers...... Please, sunflowers are a crop native to the Americas, is it good? How can there be ancient Chinese poems in the Tang and Tang dynasties that praise sunflowers!

The only reason that can be thought of for the substitution of sunflowers is simply because sunflowers, like chrysanthemums, are golden yellow. You can have a little bit of a touch with the "dark fragrance of gold powder". But looking at the big melon seed plate in the middle, it made Gu Cheng feel that it was a chrysanthemum after it was mutilated, and it was not beautiful!

The girl pursues beauty more than the man, so as soon as she heard Director Li's arrangement, Dong Jie became anxious: "Aren't chrysanthemums very good? Why don't you use chrysanthemums?"

She is cold and clear! Any modification that is detrimental to her cold and feminine temperament, Dong Jie will be heartbroken!

Director Li was also helpless: "When the screenwriter first wrote it, he took it for granted. Because what is needed in the play is a sea of flowers with the effect of 'green gauze tent', and the male and female protagonists are looking for each other in the sea of flowers, so the flowers must be taller than people to cover the line of sight and achieve that artistic effect.

Sunflowers are relatively tall and can grow up to 2 meters. Chrysanthemums are at most 1.2 meters, and even 1.6 meters tall girls can't stop their sight, so where can they get the feeling of 'winding paths' and 'looking for and seeking'? Of course, this is also to blame for not knowing biological common sense when we first wrote the screenplay...... Alas. ”

Gu Cheng saw that Dong Jie was very depressed, so he helped and said, "It's not bad to really have a 1.2-meter chrysanthemum." It's a big deal to dig out some soil ridges in the flower field during the shooting. The flowers are planted on the high ridges, and people walk in the ditch, and use the soil ridges to make a height difference of twenty or thirty centimeters, so that they can cover the height of the girl's eyes. ”

"The problem is, the 1.2 meter chrysanthemum is also theoretical. In order to make the flowers grow fast and the flowers bloom big, the flower farmers will 'pluck the top', that is, pick the top buds, so as to prevent the main nutrients of the chrysanthemum from being wasted on growing taller. So I asked countless suppliers in China, and all of them were only 60 centimeters tall chrysanthemum fields -- how could I take this view! ”

Gu Cheng also knows the agronomic method of "topping". But he only knew that cotton farmers would do this - after picking the top buds of cotton, the cotton nutrients would be instilled into the flowers, and the flowers would bloom very large and harvest more cotton. So theoretically, all crops for the purpose of harvesting flowers, it is possible for farmers to pluck their tops.

Dong Jie was very disappointed, as if she had just seen some hope, and was desperate again: "Isn't there a chrysanthemum that grows to the highest for the sake of making more money and purely for the sake of floral art?"

Director Li was also helpless: "I have asked all the major domestic suppliers, but there is really none." ”

Gu Cheng also didn't want the beautiful oriental ancient scene to be replaced by Western-style sunflowers. Since he has intervened in this film, with his perfectionist nature and artist axis, he has to find a way to force it.

"Director Li, do you have two more days? or I'll ask my brokerage company to help find a supplier. I have artists in Wanwan and Dongyi, maybe they find a wide range of suppliers?"

Director Li heard that there was still a glimmer of hope, so he was naturally unwilling to give up, so he asked Gu Cheng to help ask.

Gu Cheng sent the request to Lin Zhiling that day and asked her to use all her resources to look for it, but she sent the result back the next night.

Sure enough, there is a play.

Gu Cheng immediately took a few photos and went to Director Li: "Director Li, I have found resources." If you go to Fukuoka or Kumamoto, you can get a picture of the high-pole chrysanthemum - the people of Fuso have a high-pole Higo chrysanthemum variety, and the flowering season is just right now. ”

Director Li saw it and was very satisfied with the chrysanthemums in the photo.

Higo chrysanthemums are medium-sized chrysanthemums with flower disks of less than 15 cm, but they grow taller than large chrysanthemums. The petals are also relatively wide, not as stranded as ordinary chrysanthemums, but as wide as sunflower petals. Most of the chrysanthemums are white chrysanthemums, but there are also well-modified subspecies of chrysanthemums.

However, Director Li was overjoyed, and immediately made a difficulty: "If you want to go to Fusang to shoot, there is no such thing in the budget." ”

When filming in central enterprises, it is easy to say that you spend more money on props, but it is easy to leave a handle when you go abroad to wave.

"Don't worry--it's just a few dollars? This scene only needs me and Sister Dong and the two actors to go, plus you, the photographer, a scene note, and a set, 6 people are enough. Gu Cheng persuaded a few words, and seeing that Director Li was still embarrassed, he said cheerfully, "That's it! I'll pay for the extra money." I know the urine nature of your CCTV, and I don't accept the share of private capital, even if I give it to you for nothing! I just hope that my image is the most perfect!"

Director Li was a little ashamed when he heard this: Gu Cheng was obviously caught, but he pursued the ultimate beauty of art so much.

His old face flushed, and he also patted his chest and said: "The investors of this film can't add plugs." But Xiao Gu is so righteous, I will help you make peace when the time comes, and after the film is filmed, I will sell you the right to copy and disseminate the electronic version of the network for 1 yuan. ”

In 2001, there were no online videos, and DVDs were mainly engraved by pirates, so the right to reproduce and disseminate the electronic version of TV dramas was not valuable. Director Li shoots this chest, and he will definitely be able to make peace, and the big deal is that the price difference is counted as part of Gu Cheng's salary.

He still felt quite sorry for Gu Cheng in his heart, and fooled Gu Cheng's investment with such a thing that had no genuine guarantee.

"Deal! Then it's decided!" Gu Cheng didn't care about the little money at all.
