When "Shanghai Tang" was launched, there was little media attention except for the report of the newly founded "China Television Weekly". Because they all have their sights set on the Munich Olympics.

In addition to discussing the team members participating in the competition, the most talked about is the name of Taiwan when it participated in the Olympic Games.

Last year, the People's Republic of China became one of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, and the Republic of China withdrew from the United Nations. Then, the title of the Chinese team is naturally exclusive to the mainland. However, because the International Olympic Committee recognized two Chinese delegations more than 10 years ago, one is "Yanjing China" and the other is "Taiwan China", the mainland refused to send people to the Olympics in protest.

As a result, only Taiwan participated in this Olympic Games, and it was called the "Republic of China Team", and it was not until a few years later that it was changed to the "Chinese Taipei Team".

Wang Zijun also got news from Ning Hai that Ji Zheng had agreed to be interviewed, but what was surprising was that Ji Zheng, who was injured, insisted on participating in the Olympics despite the doctor's dissuasion.

This made Wang Zijun's eyes light up, and Ning Hai postponed the publication of "Next Magazine" until the day after the failure of the discipline and government competition.

Leaving the magazine behind, Wang Zijun came to the set with the crew.

In fact, whether it is a movie or a TV series, some irrelevant shots can be directly thrown to the assistant director to do. In case of emergency, several directors can shoot at the same time, which greatly shortens the shooting time.

But Wang Zijun didn't want people to find out that the method was different after the TV series came out, so in the first week, he asked several other directors to figure out his shooting style (I have watched a few TV series with big directors in the name, so I don't want to say the name.) The first three episodes were filmed very exquisitely, but once the first few episodes passed, the rest was so rotten that you could guess it with your ass, the so-called big director only filmed two or three episodes, and the back was thrown to someone else to shoot).

Most of the first few sets of shots are scenes of Xu Wenqiang, Ding Li, Fang Yanyun and Feng Jingyao, as for the exterior scenes, they will not go to Hong Kong and Macao to shoot until the other shots are over.

Wang Zijun took the character he sketched and threw it to the makeup artist, asking him to apply makeup to the actor according to the appearance above. The makeup artist had long been accustomed to Wang Zijun's approach, and after his eyes lit up, he honestly figured out the character modeling.

In addition, Wang Zijun's hand-drawn film storyboard script was also distributed to several assistant directors and prop masters. After filming together for a week, the crew was divided into three, with Wang Zijun in charge of the main shots, and the other two groups in charge of Chen Daosheng and Zheng Tai (the former director of the League of Nations recruited by Bai Muyang).

With a detailed storyboard script and even a hand-drawn book, I believe that the shooting will not be out of shape. Even if something goes wrong, the post-production reshoot is.

Qin Xianglin was originally a white-faced student, but now he has a big beard, which is a little more strong, and Liu Dan, an actor who is less than 30 years old, has become a fifty-year-old man and a half-hundred-year-old man after putting on makeup. It's just that Liu Dan's face is bright and ruddy, Wang Zijun didn't think about making any wrinkles, so he should be pampered by the superior.

Lin Fengjiao played the courtesan Fang Yanyun, wearing a cheongsam on her body, which was completely different from Zhao Yazhi's feeling when she wore a cheongsam. Zhao Yazhi's cheongsam makeup looks fresh and elegant, while Lin Fengjiao is delicate.

Wang Zijun, as the male number one, is dazzling as soon as he appears. Dressed in a Mao suit, with a white scarf around his neck, he looks like an aspiring young man in the Republic of China.

The first shot is Ding Li carrying pears to the street to sell, encountering a gang scuffle, and after hacking to death, the two children are discussing how many more people died today.

With this opening, in addition to bringing out Ding Li and Xu Wenqiang, it is the most direct display of the chaos in Shanghai.

The 80 version of "Shanghai Tang" is amazing, but the fight scenes are bad enough. Wang Zijun did a lot of work in this scene, constantly directing and dispatching the stuntmen brought by Ke Shouliang.

After Ke Shouliang climbed up to Wang Zijun, he is now the big brother of the previous group of stuntmen actors, and he often helps to take over the play, and he also has some skills this time.

Cheng Xiaodong has martial arts skills, but like Wang Zijun, he is good at the northern martial arts. At the beginning, he also said stupidly, saying that the actor in the scene just now did not conform to common sense, and the other party would die if he cut it down, why did he have a leg?

Wang Zijun glanced at him: "Because the legs are good-looking." ”

Yes! Cheng Xiaodong patted his forehead, and the audience likes to watch it. Now what is popular in Hong Kong is the hard kung fu of hard bridges and hard horses, but Wang Zijun's movements are designed to be more like dance than martial arts, which makes Cheng Xiaodong very excited to watch on the side, and keeps stealing teachers all the time.

In the end, Cheng Xiaodong couldn't hold back, so he simply played a cameo role as a thug and went up to try it himself.

The opening scene was busy for an hour, which made the new assistant directors secretly frightened. This is a TV series, can you use it so seriously? According to the current practice of filming TV series, this kind of fight scene can be filmed in 20 minutes at most.

Taiwan will not relax the regulations on the so-called promotion of homicide and violence in the film and television industry until next year, and this TV series is different from the sycophant surname of "Bloody Lonely City", so Wang Zijun tries to avoid bloody scenes, and the blood spilled after hacking people to death is just meaning.

Playing Ding Li's mother is a second-rate old actor from the old movie era, a decades-old drama bone, after NG two scenes, he actually passed it all over again.

On the contrary, it was Qin Xianglin, a popular student in Taiwan who was a little uncomfortable. He has been playing small roles in Hong Kong martial arts films for the past two years, and he is the kind of person who hangs up after one or two lines.

The continuous NG not only upset the staff, but even the other actors looked at the joke. They don't know where to find this Wang Zijun, and he directly became the second male boy, but they don't have a good impression.

Qin Xianglin also gradually felt this atmosphere, and his heart became more and more nervous, and he kept making mistakes.

"Take your time!" Wang Zijun patted Qin Xianglin on the shoulder, "If you think about it carefully, you are a person who is mixed at the bottom of society, living in a shantytown, sleeping on a rotten mat, and only knowing your own name." After figuring out the characteristics of the characters, let's talk about it. ”

"Okay, boss." Qin Xianglin nodded, but he was uneasy in his heart, for fear that Wang Zijun would kick him back to Hong Kong.

Wang Zijun clapped his hands and said: "The scene about Ding Li will be filmed in the afternoon, and the next one." ”

Lin Fengjiao was wearing a cheongsam, wearing a fur shoulder that looked expensive but was actually worth dozens of yuan, with a proud temperament in the dust.

"Okay, that's what it tastes like." Wang Zijun clapped his hands and said.

Lin Fengjiao's image is a little different from the original, and she performed the feeling of being out of the mud and not stained when she was a dancer, Wang Zijun felt that this was more conducive to shaping the image.

A good actor will make a character with his own unique temperament, and Lin Fengjiao's true colors make Wang Zijun like it very much.

Lin Fengjiao was not happy because of Wang Zijun's praise, but looked at him resentfully. In her mind, Wang Zijun must have looked down on her background as a dance lady, and actually arranged a courtesan role with him.

In reality, she also likes him silently as in the script, but he always treats him politely, but rejects people.

After filming all day, Lin Fengjiao was too deep into the play, and she really thought of herself as Fang Yanyun. When watching "Xu Wenqiang", the kind of resentful eyes made Wang Zijun creepy, but Chen Kunhou, who was in charge of photography, liked it very much, and always asked his photographers to put the lens on Lin Fengjiao's face.

"Shanghai Tang, Scene 5, Ikesh!"

Wang Zijun gobbled up the snake soup, and Lin Fengjiao looked at him like this.

"You think it's weird?" Wang Zijun looked at Lin Fengjiao and said with a smile, "People change." ”

"Really, you're completely different from what you used to be." Lin Fengjiao looked at him affectionately, "You gave me the impression that you used to give me ......"

Wang Zijun interrupted: "Yanyun, don't say it again." ”

"Why?" Lin Fengjiao asked.

Wang Zijun looked down at the bowl in his hand and said, "Snake soup, it's really good." ”

The two were silent, and Zheng Tai, who was in charge, shouted, "Card." He stood up and led all the staff to applaud and said, "Boss, the rivalry between you and Miss Lin just now is really amazing, whether it is your eyes or expressions, they are all wonderful to the bones." ”

Wang Zijun smiled, he was also brought into the play by Lin Fengjiao just now, and he always felt that he had failed the other party and didn't dare to face it.

In the afternoon, Qin Xianglin finally found his state and made up for the morning's play.

After filming, Qin Xianglin couldn't stop thanking Wang Zijun for giving him the opportunity.

"Good performance, I'm optimistic about you." Wang Zijun said encouragingly.

"Definitely." Qin Xianglin felt a feeling of acquaintance rise from the bottom of his heart, and nodded heavily. From an actor with only one or two lines directly selected as the second male lead, and tolerated him, this boss is really good.

After that, Wang Zijun called out to the old actor who played Ding Li's mother and asked, "Hello old lady, I don't know what to call it?" ”

The old man smiled and his face wrinkled: "My natal name is Lu Fang, and my stage name is Fang Fang." ”

Wang Zijun said with a smile: "Fang Fang, this name has some flavor with Hu Die. ”

Lu Fang said happily: "I have acted with Ms. Hu Die before. But it's all old films, and it's hard to find them now. ”

"Really? You're amazing. Wang Zijun asked again, "Are you a professional actor now?" ”

"What a profession?" Lu Fang said, "Now my old woman doesn't have any drama, and she doesn't want any company." Occasionally come out to earn two candy money for your grandson. ”

Wang Zijun felt that this old actor's acting skills were really good, and when he heard that she had not signed a contract with the company, he immediately said: "Then if Wang's company invites you, would you like to come?" ”

"Signed actors?" Lu Fang asked incredulously.

"Of course." Wang Zijun said.

"Yes, yes." Lu Fang hurriedly agreed.

In June this year, Chiang Ching-kuo called for the "living room is the factory" movement in Taiwan, and those housewives and old ladies were busy at home all day long, although they made more money, but it was not easier than working in a factory. If you can be a professional actor, it will be a great thing.
