Chapter 257: Convincing the National Teacher
Colorful, with red as the base, yellow and purple color embellishment, carved beams and jade pillars, golden stool throne, small schemes, graceful and luxurious, extraordinary bearing.
Bai Shiqiu followed Jiang Zhiqiang and Zhang Yimou into the arranged palace, and felt a local tyrant atmosphere that made him very stressed.
It's really like this, Bai Shiqiu doesn't have any thoughts of complaining at the moment, he has seen the finished film, and knows that in the camera, this palace is extremely luxurious, but when he is immersive, he feels that it is a special trench, but it really has the feeling of being a nouveau riche, red, rhubarb, and purple together, what can it be?
But he didn't say much, anyway, Zhang Yimou had high means, and the shooting effect was very good.
"Come on, sit and sit ......"
"This palace is really beautiful."
"Unexpected, unexpected......"
"If this play comes out, it will be so beautiful."
came in together, of course, there were a few people before, Fa Ge, Liu Ye, Jay, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, everyone saw this palace for the first time, and they all showed sighs and shocks, and after sitting down, they couldn't stop pointing and pointing.
Especially Zhang Ziyi, Bai Shiqiu can see that this international star, senior sister, she is really envious and wants to shoot this drama.
Thinking about it a little, Bai Shiqiu recognized himself to guess one or two.
Last year's "Memoirs of a Geisha" should have been the best fuel for Zhang Ziyi's soaring, but unfortunately, the box office reputation of this drama was very bad after it was released.
And there is a key to this, that is, in this play, Zhang Ziyi doesn't know why there is such a result, to put it simply, the acting skills she gave are very strong, there is nothing wrong, as long as you have watched this film, you can know that Zhang Ziyi acted very well, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she overshadowed Gong Li in terms of acting skills.
The play is to hit the street, she can't find any reason to hit the street, maybe it's because this play didn't make it to the mainland, maybe it's something else, but it's not Zhang Ziyi's problem after all, maybe she's a little willful, she has to make such a sensitive film, but from a technical point of view, she didn't make a mistake.
This is very fatal, from Zhang Ziyi's point of view, what kind of drama can she take?
Bai Shiqiu wasn't sure if what he was thinking was right, but it should be about the same, but it was useless to think that these were useless now, and the one who was outside before hadn't passed yet.
"Senior Brother Bai, now you can say it." Gong Li seemed to become a queen when she arrived at the palace, she hadn't forgotten what she asked before, but Bai Shiqiu hadn't answered yet.
"yes." At this time, Fa Ge also came over to join in the fun, "I also want to know what Brother Bai thinks of this "Golden Armor" directed by Brother Zhang. ”
Gong Li asked about ideas, and Fa Ge said that they both refer to the same thing, but the meaning is very different.
Bai Shiqiu heard it, Fa Ge was at the right time, and he also understood that this was a dismount.
Isn't it strange that people are coming so neatly today?
What kind of character is Zhang Yimou, he is willing to change the script for a kid, so how much face is this, so, now that he has changed, Lao Mouzi wants to try this kid, what's the problem?
Bai Shiqiu, even more understanding in his heart, smiled and said: "The people sitting here are all seniors, all teachers, either senior brothers or senior sisters, or the king of Asian music, I, Bai Shiqiu, a kid who didn't graduate from school for a long time, although I won the Cannes Best Actor ......"
As soon as she said this, Zhang Ziyi was so angry, this Senior Brother Bai used this thing to scare her all day long, and she was almost nervous.
Gare at him fiercely!
Bai Shiqiu didn't care, and then said: "People like me are a little overwhelmed when they express any opinion on Teacher Zhang Yimou's play. ”
Zhang Yimou immediately spoke, "It's okay, Bai Shiqiu, you just say it, it's nothing." ”
"Okay, thank you Teacher Zhang," Bai Shiqiu knew this and listened to it, how could he not say a flower, he planted this matter today, and in this crew in the future, then prepare to be a third grandson, however, Bai Shiqiu will never fight an unprepared battle, so I heard him ask Zhang Yimou, "Teacher Zhang, do you remember the details of the request I made before?" ”
"Oh, this ......" Zhang Yimou thought about it for a while, and then said: "It seems to mean that I lack a role in this play, and there is one less Lu Dahai." ”
"yes, that's it." Bai Shiqiu nodded, then stood up and walked to the center.
At this time, everyone was sitting, and this was the palace hall, Bai Shiqiu came to the center, and he felt like a narrator host.
"Everyone, in fact, what I said to Mr. Zhang was that at that time, the information I got about the movie "Golden Armor" made me see a thing, I think I should remind Mr. Zhang that this play is missing something."
Missing something?
Zhang Ziyi immediately squinted his eyes and said, "Is it missing Lu Dahai?" ”
The tone is contemptuous.
Gong Li also smiled and said: "Senior Brother Bai, you are wrong, there are many roles." ”
Zhang Yimou didn't speak, with a smile on his face, and seemed to be slightly thoughtful.
As for the others, Fa Ge and Jiang Zhiqiang listened playfully, while Liu Ye was somewhat confused.
Is it less?
Bai Shiqiu seems to be saying that there is one less Lu Dahai, but "Golden Armor" is adapted from Mr. Cao Yu's "Thunderstorm", but from the perspective of the role, there is no less, but Lu Dahai has become Prince Yuanjie.
Lu Dahai in "Thunderstorm", he was originally the son of Zhou Puyuan and Lu Shiping, but he was held by his mother and thrown into the river as soon as he was born, so his surname was Lu. Lu Dahai's biological father was Zhou Puyuan, a big capitalist, but he firmly stood on the side of the working class and struggled against Zhou Puyuan.
Prince Yuanjie of "Golden Armor", he is the second son of the king, and his biological mother became the queen, that is, the son of Su Yi, which is the biggest difference, and later fought against the king, that is, Zhou Puyuan.
There is also a third prince in the Dawang family, coupled with the family structure of Imperial Doctor Jiang's side, it can be said that "Golden Armor" is not less than "Thunderstorm".
"Less!" But Bai Shiqiu said that it was less, he looked at these people very confidently, and finally set his eyes on Zhang Yimou, and said with a smile: "There is less class." ”
Class.
As soon as the word came out, the scene instantly fell silent.
The faces that were still smiling before now have a tendency to freeze, especially Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi.
The most prominent change is Zhang Yimou, the director of the national teacher, his face has changed greatly, and his head is sweating.
Class, we all understand the meaning of these two words.
"Golden Armor" is adapted from "Thunderstorm", which is true, Lao Mouzi made it clear early on, and he will also sign Mr. Cao Yu's name after the film is completed. The scene "Thunderstorm" is familiar to any actor from a professional class in China, even if he doesn't study for a day and only film, he will be familiar with it, because he can't run the exam.
The core of the play "Thunderstorm" is the class struggle, exposing the ugly side of the capitalists.
For his own interests, Zhou Puyuan even persecuted his wife and the child he had just given birth to, and married Su Yi.
Lu Dahai did not grow up in the Zhou family, even if he was also Zhou Puyuan's son, but he did not enjoy Zhou Puyuan's fatherly love for him, coupled with his status as a worker, he was oppressed by the Zhou family, a family of capitalists, he firmly fought against Zhou Puyuan to the end, which is reasonable and very dramatic.
But what about "Golden Armor"?
Yuan Jie is indeed the son of the queen, but he is also the son of the king, and the king wants to make him the crown prince.
The queen was drugged by the king and persecuted by her husband, which can indeed arouse Yuanjie's anger, but as for facing her own Lao Tzu sword soldiers?
They are a family, Yuan Jie didn't work hard to reconcile the relationship between his parents, he actually helped his mother to cut his father, and his father wanted to make him the heir, this Yuan Jie is not a fool, but also a second force.
Bai Shiqiu saw Zhang Yimou's face change several times, he knew what he said, and the national teacher in front of him understood, so he continued to take fierce medicine, only to hear him say: "Yuan Jie and Lu Dahai are essentially different, Yuan Jie enjoys the king's fatherly love for him, and he and the king are of the same class, how can he have such a firm fighting spirit as Lu Dahai." In addition, what is more important is that the queen is a smart person, she planned this matter, she knew that the prince wanted to abdicate, she knew that the king wanted to pass on the prince to his own son, how could she provoke her own son to rebel? Her most reasonable approach should be to provoke her lover, that is, the eldest prince Yuan Xiang to rebel, if Yuan Xiang can't do it, even if she rebels herself, she shouldn't let her son rebel, this is illogical. ”
After listening to this, Zhang Yimou naturally asked, "Why is it illogical?" The queen is dying, and she is going to rebel. ”
Bai Shiqiu just said two words, "Mother's love." ”
After Zhang Yimou heard this, he was struck by lightning.
In the script, the reason why Yuan Jie rebelled was to help his mother, so the queen is absolutely dear to Yuan Jie, and the mother-son relationship between the two must be very good.
However, rebellion is an extremely dangerous thing, how can a mother who is so good to her son be able to encourage her son to rebel and kill her own son?
In the script, I can't see any of the queen's maternal love for her own son, but this prince Jie is stupid and rebellious, and he is about to become the crown prince.
At this point, it seems that this drama can't come back, and the logical loopholes are too big.
In the final analysis, it is to turn the original Lu Dahai into Yuanjie, Zhang Yimou originally thought that he was proud, but now it seems to be full of loopholes.
Zhang Yimou originally wanted to give Bai Shiqiu a dismissal, so that this kid should not do so much and not be so arrogant, but now that he heard what Bai Shiqiu said, he thought about his script again......
This script has to be thrown away!
But if you think about it again, you can't completely follow the original script of "Thunderstorm", because the background has changed, if it is really Lu Dahai, there is no way to rebel in a short time, Prince Yuanjie is still necessary, his identity can control the soldiers and horses, and master the guards.
What to do?
"Bai Shiqiu, that, Brother Bai, your idea is indeed good, what I thought before was indeed a little too simple, then this ......" Zhang Yimou was a little embarrassed, but the filming was about to start, and he wanted to get some solutions.
This change was even more unexpected by everyone present, Fa Ge, Liu Ye, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, how could they have imagined that a director as big as Zhang Yimou would have such a posture now?
Jiang Zhiqiang smiled on the side, and said in his heart, this Bai Shiqiu did have two hits.
So, does Bai Shiqiu have a way?
Bai Shiqiu's heart was ...... at this time Very proud...... But it doesn't show it on the face, let's be secretly cool first, at the moment, talk eloquently, "Mr. Zhang, Prince Yuanjie can exist, but the reason for his rebellion can be changed, just let him stare at the throne, that is, the king did not mean to make him the crown prince, and the original prince would not give up his position as the crown prince, so ......"
"A power struggle?" Zhang Yimou immediately mentioned it.
"That's right!" Bai Shiqiu nodded, "Teacher Zhang, you actually changed the background, so the strong class conflict in your own "Thunderstorm" has been diluted, so we can only do this, change the core." Yuan Jie is not Lu Dahai, but Lu Dahai still has to have, an outsider to disrupt this royal palace fight, this is a little interesting, in addition, you can expand some more, for example, I have an idea here, I don't know ......"
Zhang Yimou wants to hear everything now, very urgently, "Brother Bai, hurry up, you're welcome, haha......"
Bai Shiqiu was still a little hesitant, "I just think it's not good for a kid like me to put forward so many opinions." ”
These words made people want to kick him twice, especially Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi.
However, Jiang Zhiqiang can still speak, "Brother Bai, you're welcome, Director Zhang is very optimistic about you." ”
was originally a dismount, but now he is said to be optimistic, and he deserves to be a big man.
Bai Shiqiu knew that he couldn't hide more, so he said simply: "If I am to arrange the relationship between the characters in the play, then I will do it like this." The queen and the eldest prince committed adultery, the time should be very early, at least ten years of history, don't worry, so, the second prince was born to the queen and the king, then the third prince was born to the queen and the eldest prince, in this case, ......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yimou immediately shouted, "Okay!" ”
As soon as Zhang Yimou heard it, he even knew how to develop back and forth, the third prince's life experience was a secret, and the reason why the king wanted to poison his queen was probably because he knew that he was cuckolded by his son, which was unbearable.
You know, in the original script, although it was also cuckolded, it was really not strong enough, and since they have been adulterous for three years, why do you only do it now?
It's better to commit adultery for a few more years, in this way, the relationship between this family will be more distorted, and there will be more conflicts in this plot, especially if it is according to the final ending, the third prince kills his eldest brother, which is ...... Kill his own father.
Huo, this is a mess.
But Zhang Yimou thinks it's very good, from a dramatic point of view, it's really better than the one before him, and it's ......
"I'm going to play that new role, the son of Imperial Doctor Jiang, he doesn't study medicine, he's here to investigate the case."
There's another element of detective reasoning in this.
"Good! Brother Bai, I want to applaud you. Zhang Yimou laughed and walked over and patted Bai Shiqiu on the shoulder.
Bang Bang Bang ...... But someone acts fast, it's Gong Li, who really applauded.
When the others saw it, they clapped their hands along with it.
It's really exciting, but there are more forbidden things......
