Chapter 343. "Journey to the West"!

I have to say that Tang Wei's acting skills as an actress are really good, and after coming into contact with Yin Tianyou, the two have completed good communication and have a deep understanding of their respective roles.

In fact, Tang Wei has just given birth, and as her first postpartum comeback, she has always regarded this drama as the focus of her life. As a husband, Kim Tae-yong also understands her very well, so he supports her in all aspects.

It is in this environment that Tang Wei's grasp of the role is getting better and better, and the cooperation with Yin Tianyou is becoming more and more tacit.

In the blink of an eye, "Journey to the West" has been filmed for almost a month, and this period of time is filming the ancient part about the past life, Tang Seng played by Yin Tianyou met a banshee on the way to the West to learn scriptures, and this banshee met him, and they felt "déjà vu" with each other.

What's going on?

After some calculations, the banshee did her best to lure away Sun Wukong, who protected Tang Seng, and let Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha fall into her ambush circle, and she transformed into a monster to blow wind and sand, and kidnapped Tang Sanzang played by Yin Tianyou.

Inside the Monster Cave -

The monsters held a feast, tied Tang Seng to the pillar of the hall, and prepared to scrub and disembowel.

As a female monster who deceived Sun Wukong and captured Tang Sanzang alive, she appeared majestically in front of Tang Sanzang (the male protagonist) again, with some verbal teasing, cynical pain about the ugliness of the world, just when the banshee was about to eat Tang monk's meat, the male protagonist began to recite the Great Compassion Mantra, and the banshee was upset, picked up the flute and blew it away.

The sound of the flute evoked hidden memories of their past lives in the hearts of the two, as if some kind of magic spell had been triggered. The hero and heroine travel back in time and space to more than 400 years ago - similar to the Yueguang treasure box in "Journey to the West".

In this era, it was the Warring States that competed for power. The period when various sects began to flourish, and the state of Chu became the object of conquest by the Great Qin Empire.

The years of war. The male protagonist Yin Tianyou, who played Tang Seng, became the last king of Chu State, but the heroine became a folk girl, and the two knew each other and fell in love, but they were separated because of the war. The survival of the country and the whereabouts of the lover always affect the heart of the male protagonist, so a love story that has passed through a hundred years has opened a new plot.

The lover has not been heard from again, in the war with the Qin people. The Chu people are also losing and retreating, and the actor can be said to be suffering.

Especially after a fiasco, the actor's mood reached the freezing point. But just when he was at his most desperate, the heroine appeared at the right time and rescued him. With lovers meeting again, coupled with the encouragement and support of his lover, the male protagonist finally rose up and was determined to control the fate of himself and his lover in this war-torn era.

The main plot of this story does not have any demons and demons, but mainly revolves around war and love. Against the backdrop of war. This love is small and insignificant because of the cruelty and impact of war, but at the same time it rarely shows the warmth and beauty of human nature in the darkest and most cruel time. Such a contradictory feeling is a theme that Zhou Xingchi is trying to show.

Yin Tianyou and Tang Wei did not disappoint Zhou Xingchi, and their performances were remarkable. The male protagonist played by Yin Tianyou was in a very complicated mood at this time, and he had to worry about the fate of Chu State. He also has to worry about whether he and the heroine can be together, and where to go, which is a question that bothers him very much. However, this is not a problem for Yin Tianyou. These complex emotions are vividly expressed in his mannerisms and speeches, which fully demonstrate his talent in acting.

As for Tang Wei. She also grasps the heroine's mentality very well. Because of the hero's behavior of sacrificing himself to block arrows, the heroine's psychology has completely changed. From the previous hesitation to absolute resoluteness, no matter how severe the situation is, she is unswervingly standing behind the hero, cheering for him, and silently undertaking all the affairs that she should undertake.

In the case that the two people have an extremely good grasp of their roles, the emotional scenes of the two people are even more touching, even the crew members are often moved by the deep affection they show in the war to the point that their eyes are moist.

probably absorbed the advantages of Hollywood blockbusters, and the war scene Zhou Xingchi also grasped it quite atmospherically, and the whole scene was indescribably magnificent, which is another highlight of this film.

Of course, the director Tsui Hark is definitely credited here. Although Zhou Xingchi plays a leading role in the story, Tsui Hark has no one to compete with him in the scenes filmed. Not to mention the footage of thousands of arrows flying on the battlefield, even the scene of thousands of horses galloping is enough to shock everyone's heart. I have to say that Tsui Hark's use of special effects seems to have reached the point of perfection.

This kind of filming is definitely very hard for the actors, even if Yin Tianyou and Tang Wei's performances are no problem, they can't stop others from making mistakes. So reshoots have become commonplace, and in terms of the requirements for the quality of the film, Zhou Xingchi, as the producer, will never give anyone a favor.

But no matter how hard they work, no matter how tired their bodies are, for Yin Tianyou and Tang Wei, these are just trivial things, and they can't affect their mood at all. In their view, all of this is not just a movie shooting, but also an opportunity to show their dreams, and only under such a severe test as the plot of the film can they realize their potential and show their acting skills to the fullest. In the process of filming, they made up for each other and learned from each other, and their acting skills became more perfect and mature.

It is really a rare opportunity for them to have such an opportunity, and they don't care how tired they are. Throughout the filming process, Yin Tianyou and Tang Wei were so engrossed that they occasionally couldn't tell the difference between inside and outside the play. But for them, it doesn't matter at all, what matters is their cooperation, which has made Zhou Xingchi and Tsui Hark give a thumbs up.

This filming time is very long, the schedule and filming are very tight, and all the members of the crew have suffered enough. But no matter how difficult the journey is, there is an end, and on this day, the last shot of the scene from the previous life was finally filmed.

Although the male protagonist is inspired by the love of the female protagonist, the tide of history cannot be stopped, after two years of hard war. In the end, the people of Chu were unable to stop the iron cavalry of the Great Qin Empire.

Finally, when it was time for the final battle, the scene also returned to the palace of the king of Chu. This will be the last swan song of the whole story about the past life, and it is also the swan song of the love of the hero and heroine.

Armageddon began. The hero and heroine stood at the head of the city supporting each other, looking at the tide of Daqin Iron Cavalry, with a solemn expression. There was no way to retreat, and with an order, the soldiers of the Chu State rushed to the battlefield bravely and started a fierce battle with the Qin army. The battle was fierce and cruel, and when the sunset shone on the city of Chu, the soldiers of Chu were already dead and wounded, and the defeat was decided.

The tragedy of the battle aroused the blood in the hero's heart. It was decided to live and die with the state of Chu. Although there were less than a thousand guards around him, he still decided to go out of the city to face the battle, and even if he died in battle, he hoped that he would die a heroic death.

Before the battle, the farewell of the hero and heroine is a very important plot, there is almost no dialogue, and the affection is shown in the eyes of the two people. This is what Zhou Xingchi is very concerned about, but Yin Tianyou and Tang Wei's performances have no room for fault at all. The play is played to this part, whether emotionally. is still in the tacit understanding of performance, Yin Tianyou and Tang Wei have reached the point of heart-to-heart communication, and they no longer need any emotional brewing and understanding of the plot, they just need to play themselves well.

After the farewell. The actor went into battle with his last guard. The heroine slowly blew the flute in her hand, and played a war song for the soldiers of Chu who fought at the end, under the spiritual encouragement of the male protagonist and the influence of the heroine's music. Although they knew that there was no hope of victory and survival, the soldiers of the Chu State brazenly launched a final attack on the tight battle line of the Qin State.

The scene of the final battle was particularly tragic. This is also what Zhou Xingchi is trying to show. In his opinion, the more the cruelty of war is demonstrated. The more it can bring out the beauty of the love between the hero and heroine. In terms of the performance of the theme of love, Zhou Xingchi is as stubborn as all directors of art films. And this is why he was able to shoot fairy tale love stories like "The King of Comedy", "Journey to the West", and "The Mermaid".

Although the male protagonist is brave, the situation is completely irreparable, and when the last guard beside him also falls, it finally becomes a situation where he is fighting alone.

This is the actor's last chance to show his bravery, but the result has been determined, and his performance only adds a bit of bleakness to the whole story.

The final ending finally arrived, and after struggling to knock down an opponent, the hero was finally stabbed by several spears at the same time, and then fell off the horse's back. His landing stirred up a cloud of dust, but what was even more shocking was the blood he was covered in.

With his last will, the actor finally looked up at the head of Chu City, and under the bloody sunset, the lonely figure of a peerless beauty looked extremely desolate.

Slowly put down the flute in her hand, the heroine smiled sadly, and then swore a poisonous oath to the sky, not hesitating to sell her soul to become a demon, to find the male protagonist for generations, to be with him-

After swearing a poisonous oath, the heroine suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed herself in the heart. At the moment of falling to the ground, the heroine's eyes also kept looking at the place where the hero fell. The eyes of the two people met, and under the desolation that was difficult to hide, their expressions were at the same time deeply gratified. Although they didn't grasp their fate in this plane, they completely grasped each other's minds, which was already worth it in their opinion.

After passing through the obstacle of the Qin State War Horse, the hearts of the two people suddenly approached infinitely, staring closely into each other's eyes, they suddenly smiled at the same time, and then spoke at the same time. Although they were all silent at this time, the shape of their mouths was obvious, and they all said the same three words: "I love you!" ”

This is a scene that Zhou Xingchi tried his best to show, and all kinds of technical means were used, which was to express the kind of love realm that has crossed time and space and crossed all distances.

And in the next plot, the performance of the hero and heroine shocked all the people of the Qin State, although the Chu State was already in the bag, they suddenly couldn't feel any joy of conquest. This poignant scene shocked all those present, and the originally noisy battlefield was suddenly so quiet that a pin could be heard.

The commander of the Qin State also raised his head to the sky at this time, muttering something. Suddenly, there was a loud shout, and the commander of the Qin State issued an order for the whole army to salute. So the entire battlefield is a weapon that rises straight to the sky, and it is the Qin people who pay tribute to the hero and heroine in their own way.

This scene lasted for a while, and the commander of the Qin State issued another order. This time it was completely the order of the conqueror, and when the iron of the Qin State rushed to the city of Chu like a tide, the love story of the hero and heroine was annihilated in the dust and smoke of history together with the glory of the Kingdom of Chu.

Such a plot, from the delicate emotional scene to the spectacular, Zhou Xingchi is meticulous, needless to say, the tension. The whole crew members are also like a great enemy, and they dare not slack off in the slightest, if they make any mistakes at this time, they can't eat and walk around. In terms of grasping the quality of the film, Zhou Xingchi, as the producer, is very dictatorial and will definitely not be polite to anyone.

After a period of intense busyness, the shooting finally came to a successful end. I don't know who started first, and the cheers suddenly resounded on the shooting scene. Such a plot and such a shooting have given everyone a great sense of pressure and tension, and now that it is done, everyone feels relieved.

Yin Tianyou and Tang Wei were also very happy, but they looked a little tired. This scene really consumes too much emotion, and when Yin Tianyou and Tang Wei came together again, they couldn't help but hug each other to show their appreciation for each other.

Zhou Xingchi couldn't hold back his excitement and emotion, the whole drama was about to end successfully, basically his requirements for the film were met, and the feelings in his heart were really indescribable. Regardless of the fact that he is very unpopular with Yin Tianyou and Tang Wei now, he rushed forward one by one, shook hands with them one by one, and kept saying: "Oh my God, it's finally over, your performance is so exciting, far more wonderful than I imagined." Thank you, thank you. ”

Yin Tianyou and Tang Wei can understand Zhou Xingchi's gratitude, in fact, they are also very grateful to Zhou Xingchi, if it weren't for Zhou Xingchi's strict requirements, there would be no such story.

As for the great director Tsui Hark, what he values is the war scenes with special effects, for him, although Yin Tianyou and Jean Tang Wei's performance is perfect, it is not as enjoyable as the special effects he made.

No way, who let this guy go crazy in terms of special effects.

But there is no doubt that as far as this scene is concerned, there are thrilling war scenes, poignant and lingering love stories, and magical plots that travel through time and space, and it can be said that there are all kinds of condiments, and it is definitely worth looking forward to.
