Chapter 117: Acting (1) (1st Update)
After the script was decided, the actors were quickly decided. Although Yu Sheng acquired Dadi Film Company, there are not a few well-known actors in this film company, and there are a few actors who are not looked down on by Yu Sheng. and let them stay. Only the backbone of any crew, such as the set, scene notes, and screenwriters, was left. made up for the original arrears of salary, and doubled the payment.
There is a saying that money can make ghosts grind. People need money more than ghosts. Therefore, these experienced scene reporters, screenwriters, sets, makeup and other talents are all in Shanhu, Long live the boss, and An An went to work.
And the actors, there are already candidates for the rest of their lives. Yu Sheng felt that with Qing Xiaoyi's temperament, it was very suitable to play Feng Chengcheng, and with Zhang Ailing's temperament, you could try Fang Yanyun. As for the role of Feng Jingyao, there is no doubt that Cai Chusheng will play it. At this time, although Cai Chusheng was only in his thirties, he already had a bearing, and he was a very handsome uncle. is not inferior to those famous uncles in the entertainment industry in later generations.
Originally, for the rest of his life, he thought that it would take some time to move these three people. After all, none of these three people are serious actors. Zhang Ailing has never been in contact with this industry. It's normal to have some resistance. Unexpectedly, as soon as Yu Sheng opened his mouth, these three people gladly agreed.
Cai Chusheng is because of the fame in the film industry for the rest of his life and the whimsy of the rest of his life, his shooting skills have reached maturity after "Fisherman's Song", but he has also encountered a bottleneck. However, in the Chinese film industry in this era, there are few who can compete with Cai Chusheng's film literacy, and there are even fewer who can guide Cai Chusheng to go further. When Cai Chusheng didn't make a breakthrough for a long time, he happened to come to Hong Kong for the rest of his life and talked to him about making a "Shanghai Tang"! This aroused Cai Chusheng's interest.
For a person whose illness is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, once he is interested in something, it is simply itchy and unbearable. After listening to Yu Sheng's general conception of "Shanghai Tang". When he went home and pondered for a long time, and was thinking about how to communicate with Yu Sheng about the essence of this movie again, Yu Sheng called him. Cai Chusheng readily agreed.
And Zhang Ailing is even easier to move. Zhang Dacai's belief has always been to become famous as soon as possible, and with the name of the rest of her life, this "Shanghai Tang" will not be unknown no matter what. What's more, Zhang Dacai has always been very conceited about her talent, and she also wants to give it a try to see if she can move the world with this fame.
Qing Xiaoyi originally didn't want to be an actor, and showing up this kind of thing is neither in line with her personality nor the traditional education she has always received. It's just that when Qing Xiaoyi knew that Zhang Ailing was going to play Fang Yanyun, she resolutely agreed to play Feng Chengcheng for the rest of her life with the attitude of fire prevention, theft prevention and girlfriend prevention.
As for Xu Wenqiang, it is naturally starring Yu Sheng himself. The rest of the teenagers who came to Hong Kong together played other supporting roles. Among them, Ding Li, who is often played, is simply expressive when he auditions.
After the audition, the film officially began. On the first day, two scenes were filmed - Xu Wenqiang took the train to Shanghai to find Fang Yanyun, and met Feng Chengcheng who was kidnapped. At this time, Fang Yanyun was accompanying Feng Jingyao to receive guests.
Needless to say, I have watched "Shanghai Tang" and "New Shanghai Tang" many times in later generations, and my understanding of the character of Xu Wenqiang is more thorough than that of Chow Yun-fat and Huang Xiaoming in later generations. The performance is naturally extremely expressive, and it is in place in one step.
And what surprised the rest of his life was Qing Xiaoyi's performance. Qing Xiaoyi has no acting experience, at most she has dubbed the king of the daughter country in the cartoon "Daughter's Love". However, in this scene, Qing Xiaoyi obviously entered the play very quickly. After a scene was filmed, even Cai Chusheng, who was watching from the side, shouted hello.
As a pillow person, he naturally wants to give Qing Xiaoyi some encouragement for the rest of his life. Qing Xiaoyi's face was blushing, and she whispered to Yu Sheng: "Actually, I only need to think about how you sang to me on the street back then, and then asked me to carry you back, and naturally I will understand how to act!" ”
Yu Sheng was dumbfounded, but what Qing Xiaoyi said did make sense, whether it was a hero saving the United States or a beauty saving a hero, it was actually a legendary encounter, but it was just a change of position. No wonder this girl entered the play so quickly.
After Qing Xiaoyi finished filming the first scene, the crew picked up all kinds of sets for use. In the second scene, the rivalry between Fang Yanyun and Feng Jingyao started filming.
Fang Yanyun is a well-known socializer in Shanghai, so naturally she is the one who is glamorous and full of femininity. At this time, Zhang Ailing was just a student girl with big glasses, wearing a student uniform, and her hair was not neatly combed. If it weren't for the rest of his life thinking of the photos he had seen in later generations of Zhang Dacai's daughter when she was blooming, she would never have let Zhang Ailing play the role of Fang Yanyun.
At this time, Zhang Ailing changed into a cheongsam, changed her hairstyle, took off her big glasses, and after dressing up, she had already faded away from her youthful atmosphere! There is a way that there is poetry and writing in her belly, and this woman who is proud of her talent seems to be a butterfly breaking out of her chrysalis after dressing up, and blooming her glorious and gorgeous wings in front of everyone.
And in this kind of beauty, there is still a temperament that stands tall above the red dust, just like Zhang Ailing's understanding of love and encounter in real history - meet the person you want to meet among thousands of people, in the wilderness of thousands of years, there is no earlier step, no later step, just caught up, there is nothing else to say, only to ask gently, oh, you are also here!
This kind of alienation and gorgeousness, which is only one step away from the world, has a far more impactful impact on people than Fang Yanyun in the original drama in later generations. As a director for the rest of his life, he can't find a trace of fault with Zhang Ailing's performance, and his understanding of the character of Fang Yanyun is far from that of Zhang Dacai. And Cai Chusheng, as an old actor with more than ten years of experience in drama and film, naturally will not have any problems.
Therefore, in addition to the rest of my life, in addition to re-filming it for the rest of my life, just in case, it also passed smoothly!
The efficiency of filming in this way is extremely amazing. Since the actors are all their own people, they know each other a lot, and they will also have a tacit understanding when they play rival roles. Even if there is something unfamiliar, the rest of your life can be said.
In this way, two or three high-quality scenes can be filmed smoothly every day. "Shanghai Tang", which was adapted into a movie, is just more than 200 scenes. More than two months have passed, and the filming has been completed! It's twice as fast as the rest of your life expects!
