Chapter 0342: A Genius Director's Keen Sense of Smell

On this day, the weather was very good, the wind was beautiful, it was the beginning of the start of the crew of Star Entertainment's "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and Meng Xinghui's first major drama as the chief director was finally officially launched.

Because "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has a special feature, that is, the appearance of the supporting role Lin Pingzhi at the beginning takes up a lot of space, and the first actor Ling Hu Chong can only appear after a long time, if the TV series is filmed in this order, then Ling Hu Chong's appearance time will be five or six episodes later, which is not quite consistent with modern people's viewing habits, you must know that compared with the last century, people today have a faster pace of life and are more impatient, they can't be patient to watch a supporting role with their surname and occupy the screen all the time, And the hero and heroine don't come out after a long time, even if you want them to wait, you must let the male protagonist show up first, give people a thought, and they are willing to wait.

And Lin Danyan's script made some changes to the original book in a timely manner, at the beginning, the big disciple of Huashan Ling Hu Chong took the lead, in Chang'an City "Drunken Xianju" and the local famous scoundrel to fight wine, that scoundrel is notorious in Chang'an City, eating overlord meals and drinking overlord wine is a common thing, this day happened to make Hu Chong pass by Chang'an City to Drunken Xianju to drink, see this scoundrel bullying the shop Xiaoer, on the spot nameless fire, and this scoundrel made an appointment to fight wine, let the shopkeeper take the largest wine jar, just straight neck poured down, Whoever can't hold on and falls first loses, and the one who loses bears the wine debt.

The scoundrel's leopard head and eyes, broad shoulders and round waist, big belly like a drum, at a glance you know that it is a wine belly, the whole Chang'an City knows that he is a drunken master, can be called an invincible hand who drinks all over Chang'an, seeing that there is a handsome descendant who wants to fight with him, where to put him in his eyes? immediately took off his shirt and fought with Ling Hu Chong on the spot.

There is a foreign offspring to fight with the biggest scoundrel in Chang'an City, the news of flying quickly all over the streets and alleys like wings, drunken immortal residence after a while, it will be surrounded by a crowd of people watching the lively, look at the shape of Ling Hu Chong, although the slender and straight is much more pleasing to the eye than the wine bag rice bag, but everyone knows that this is better than drinking, not a beauty pageant man, all feel that this young offspring will undoubtedly lose, and according to the spleen surname of this scoundrel, after losing, it may be inevitable to be beaten by him, people have discussed, for this offspring feels unworthy.

But while drinking, a jar of wine fell a little half, and the more he drank, the more energetic he became, not only did he not fall down but looked more vigorous, on the other hand, the seemingly strong splash skin, more and more wine flowed out of his mouth, and his legs began to tremble.

After another half an hour, a jar of wine was almost halfway down, and the splash finally couldn't stand it, and fell to the ground on his back with a "poof", and the jar of wine also flew into the air, and he was about to fall to the ground, only to see Ling Hu Chong quickly put the wine jar in his hand on the table, and made an iron plate bridge action backwards, the wine jar fell on his chest by chance, he sucked hard in his mouth, and a wine arrow shot out of the wine jar and fell into his mouth.

After drinking three sips in a row, Ling Hu Chong stood up and threw the wine jar on the table, and said with a long smile: "It's enjoyable, I haven't drunk so much for a long time!" ”

"Ahh

"This young man is chivalrous and righteous, and he is very skilled, I don't know which sect he is a disciple of."

"Look at his figure, it should be from the Huashan faction, I heard that Ling Hu Chong, the eldest disciple of Huashan, has been chivalrous and righteous in recent years, and he is a rare master of the young generation of famous and decent people, and he has made a great reputation in the rivers and lakes, this person may be Ling Hu Chong, the big disciple of Huashan."

"Sure enough, he is a famous teacher and a high apprentice, Junzi Jian has such an apprentice, it can be seen that he is also a master."

"Yes, yes, although the Huashan faction has no scenery in the past, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and there are still a few brushes."

“………………”

On the first day of filming of the crew, the address was selected in Hengdian, although the script said that Chang'an City, which is now Xi'an, on the one hand, it is a long way to Xi'an, because it is completely unnecessary to run so far for a scene, on the other hand, even if you go to Xi'an, you may not be able to find such an antique restaurant, and this problem can be completely solved in Hengdian Film and Television City.

Although Meng Xinghui is the chief director, he is also the leading actor of this play, so the company also equipped him with two assistant directors, these assistant directors are recruited, all graduated from the directing department of the film academy, and have been in the industry for ten years, with professional skills and experience, and they have also followed Zhang Jizhong and Zhang Dabeard to shoot several martial arts dramas, so they will shoot the first scene.

This first scene of drunken immortal juju wisdom and playful play, Lin Danyan wrote it interestingly, Meng Xinghui was hard to imagine when he watched it for the first time, how could a quiet and classical beauty like Lin Danyan have such imagination and write this scene so witty and interesting, although it has nothing to do with the next plot, but this is a stroke to show the audience the rich ink and color of Linghu Chong's surname, although it is a short scene, but his uninhibited, bold and benevolent surname with a little cunning is vividly portrayed, which is impressive.

When Meng Xinghui wore a green shirt, hung a long sword at his waist, and combed his hair upwards with a pestle ponytail, the whole crew was all amazing, Meng Xinghui's fashion hipster style in "Romantic Career" left a deep impression, and now there are countless young people imitating him on the urban streets, and many people are questioning whether he has that feeling when filming costume dramas, but I didn't expect the stylist to take care of his style, which made everyone breathtaking, plus Meng Xinghui held a wine jug with a chic smile on his lips, It is Ling Hu Chong, a great disciple of Huashan who came out of Jin Daxia's book.

And the first scene of "Drunken Immortal House Wine Fight" was interpreted by Meng Xinghui into three points, that free and easy temperament, that bold energy, as well as the three points of cunning in his eyes and a touch of disdain at the corner of his mouth, Ling Hu Chong's surname was so superb, and there was no trace of the performance, it was completely like a true performance.

A series of shots were completed in one go, and the executive director didn't dare to look at the atmosphere behind the monitor, for fear that he would disrupt such a wonderful rhythm by any action, and finally after this set of shots was filmed, the director shouted "cut" with relief!

"Mr. Meng, that's great!" Executive director Wang Baochuan gave Meng Xinghui a thumbs up, if he still muttered a little in his heart before, after witnessing Meng Xinghui's exquisite acting skills on the spot, he immediately threw himself to the ground, happy and convinced, any circle is the same, strength is respected, in the face of strong strength, Shenma connections, Shenma qualifications, Shenma experience, are all [***] floating clouds.

"Let me see." Meng Xinghui sat in front of the monitor, Wang Baochuan instructed the assistant to replay the footage just taken, and after Meng Xinghui finished reading it, he said lightly: "No, do it again." ”

Wang Baochuan was immediately dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Meng, where can't you?" That's already good. ”

Meng Xinghui glanced at him and said: "According to the standards of shooting martial arts dramas nowadays, this may be good, but in my eyes, this is not good, I emphasize again, we are going to the classics, I remake this drama, not to make money, but to fulfill one of my own dreams, since it is a dream, it must be perfect, because there are many shortcomings in reality, so we will have beautiful dreams, if even beautiful dreams are flawed, then why do we dream?" ”

Wang Baochuan choked a few times and said blankly: "But...... You should always tell me, what's wrong with this set of shots, right? I can't find a problem, and I can't solve it. ”

Meng Xinghui pondered for a moment and said, "It's not the camera's problem, it's ...... I feel that we are filming a martial arts drama, but I don't feel the atmosphere of the martial arts world from this set of shots, it's like ...... It's a group of modern people in ancient costumes who are making trouble...... Do you understand? ”

Wang Baochuan really has artistic talent, after listening to Meng Xinghui's analysis, he played this set of shots from the beginning, and suddenly understood what Meng Xinghui meant, he nodded emphatically and muttered: "Mr. Meng, I am now completely convinced of you, not only acting well, but also this artistic sense of smell, not one in a thousand miles." ”

Meng Xinghui smiled slightly, and did not respond to his praise, although he could hear that this was a sincere compliment and not a sycophant, but he didn't feel much, for him, an all-round king who was often immersed in the super entertainment skill learning space, if he didn't even have this level, then he wouldn't be ridiculed to death by Huanhuan?

Meng Xinghui gathered the tricks who played with him together, explained some details to them, and told them how to enter the world of martial arts, do a better job in the details, and then make a second attempt. After the second set of shots was filmed, although it was much better than the first time, Meng Xinghui still felt a little dissatisfied, he knew that if he did it again, whether it was the staff or the extras, there would be some resistance, but he had to insist, the first scene was very important, most of the staff of this crew were not from Star Entertainment, after all, Star Entertainment had just been established, and the talent pool was not very perfect. For example, the master of martial arts, for example, some stuntmen, and extras, these people are not familiar with him, they just receive salaries and eat, and it is absolutely impossible to revere him like the employees of Star Entertainment, such as arm commands, this group of people are all old oilmen in the industry, if they are required to have low standards at the beginning, it will be difficult to be strict in the future, so he must stick to his own style.
