Chapter 40: Tang Sanzang Sees Her Majesty the Queen

Speaking of which, director Yang Jie not only filmed Journey to the West, she is also an avid fan of "Dream of Red Mansions", she read this book since she was a child, and she has been reading it until her later years.

In 1981, Yang Jie's report on the filming of the opera version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was lost, but when she wanted to transfer out of China Television, she received the task of preparing for the filming of "Journey to the West".

At the same time, Wang Fulin also received the task of preparing for the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions".

Director Yang was very sorry for missing "Dream of Red Mansions", but she still found an opportunity for herself to realize "Dream of Red Mansions" in "Journey to the West".

In the episode of "Qujing Daughter Country", Director Yang actually didn't shoot Dream of Red Mansions, which can be regarded as fulfilling one of her wishes.

From this level, the weight of "Fun Classic Daughter Country" in Director Yang Jie's heart is self-evident, and it is not too much to say that this is her favorite episode.

Today's reading meeting, director Yang Jie, two assistant directors Ren Fengpo and Xun Hao were not absent, two screenwriters Dai Yinglu and Zou Yiqing also rushed over from BJ, and Tang Qin also came to the venue early.

In "Journey to the West", Tang Seng went through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties to obtain the true scriptures, so, for Tang Seng, which of the eighty-one difficulties was the most difficult? Which one is the most threatening to Tang Seng's scripture-learning career?

In fact, everyone will choose the daughter country!

This difficulty is in all the dramas, Tang Qin also has the most scenes, and he is the protagonist of the absolute protagonist.

has been in the crew for two years, Tang Qin thinks that he has long been familiar with the role of Tang Seng, to be honest, this role has not improved his acting skills, but only in this episode, the rivalry with Zhu Lin is when his acting skills explode......

Whether you can take your acting skills to the next level, just watch this episode......

Tang Qin looked at the script in his hand carefully, in fact, the story of the daughter country section of Wu Chengen's original "Journey to the West" is very simple, and the focus is on the scorpion essence.

The king of the daughter country has very few scenes, and she and Tang Seng have only met once, and she has the idea of marrying Tang Seng before she meets Tang Seng.

Because the Tang Dynasty was strong and prosperous back then, it was a big country, and the daughter country was only a small country, so as soon as the king of the daughter country heard that Tang Seng was the "royal brother" from the Tang Dynasty, he immediately thought of marriage, so that he became Li Shimin's brother and daughter-in-law, and he didn't have to worry about being bullied by the surrounding powers.

As for whether Tang Seng is handsome or not, whether the meat is delicious or not, she has not considered it, and political marriage is what she cares about.

Besides, if you're really getting married, it's still convenient to have some meat.

If it is really filmed according to the original book, the episode of Daughter Country will not be interesting, and the process will not be much different from other small countries such as Wuji Country and Zhu Ziguo.

Therefore, director Yang Jie and the screenwriter made earth-shaking changes to the section of the daughter country, which became what I saw later.

"What do you think, read around today, you are the protagonist, my classmate was very good when he was in film school, and he also acted in movies......" There is no hierarchy in the crew, except for the director and screenwriter sitting together, everyone sits casually in a disordered order, Li Chengru sat next to Tang Qin.

Zhu Lin came late, but when he walked into the room, he saw the young man in a white shirt.

He held his chin in one hand and slowly flipped through the script in his hand with the other.

The straight nose bridge and warm lips create a flawless side face.

The warm winter sun shone over him through the window, casting a dreamlike halo on him.

If it weren't for such a Tang monk, the king of the daughter country would not have recruited him as the king with the wealth of a country, right?

Just when Li Chengru couldn't stop talking, he suddenly stopped his mouth, and a fresh aroma made Tang Qin turn his head too, and Zhu Lin was standing behind them with a smile.

"Cheng Ru, I have to sit here, I have to rely on Comrade Tang Qin, we have a lot of rivalry in this episode, so it......'s convenient to sit down."

"You sit, you sit." Li Chengru stood up with a smile, "I'll find another place to sit." ”

"Hello, Comrade Tang Qin." Zhu Lin sat down generously, without the pretentious posture of her youngest daughter's family at all.

Today, she wore a dark yellow plaid shirt, and a white sweater was also covered outside, her eyebrows were picturesque, tender and gentle, and no one spoke in the room for a while, and everyone was looking at the king of her daughter's country.

Alas, Tang Qin sighed.

Tang Seng must be a monk with great determination, who only wants to learn scriptures from the west, and is unswerving, if he easily moves his feelings, it will not only destroy the image of the character, but also desecrate the original work.

Therefore, in order to realize the setting of director Yang Jie, it is necessary to find a beautiful actress to play the king of the daughter country, as long as it is a man, he can't help but look at it twice, so that it can make Tang Seng move his heart and become reasonable.

According to this standard, Zhu Lin is the king of the daughter country in everyone's hearts!

"Okay, it's a formal meeting," Director Yang Jie saw that everyone was coming, "Before reading the script, we first have to talk about the understanding of the characters," she glanced at Tang Qin, "Tang Qin, you have the most scenes in this episode, how do you understand Tang Seng in this episode?" ”

Everyone was looking at Tang Qin, and Zhu Lin was also looking at him.

Tang Qin cleared his throat, "Director Yang, I think, in this episode, in fact, Tang Seng is here to talk about a little love, to move the mortal heart, this episode I want to highlight the side of Tang Seng who is also a mortal, he faces such a beautiful king, and he is good to him, if you are not tempted,......"

"He's not a man." Li Chengru immediately interjected, arousing the contempt of young female comrades such as Qiu Peining and Yu Hong.

But in the crew, he was approved by all gay men for the first time.

"It should be said that it is not a person." Liu Li said again.

"Well, it's not a person, what is that," Tang Qin took over, "It's a holy monk, a monk who has cultivated and has a way, if he has now become enlightened, he won't be tempted, but now he has no enlightenment, so what he has to face is not a monster, but his own demons......"

In the original work, the king of the daughter country and Tang Seng only met once, but in "The Daughter Country of the Fun Classic", they met four times, and five times in the queen's dream.

"These five times are the conflict between mortals and holy monks, between mortals and kings, between holy monks and kings, between men and women......"

"Xiao Tang, how do I feel, you understand more thoroughly than me, the screenwriter, why don't you write the screenplay." Mr. Dai Yinglu smiled, and the room immediately burst into laughter.

Zhu Lin looked at Tang Qin with admiration.

"Then let's try a few lines, which is the one that sees the queen at the beginning." Director Yang Jie had a cold face and looked directly at Tang Qin.

There is only one line here, but it is repeated several times, because the king of the daughter country has long been fascinated by the holy monk.

"Tang Sanzang, see Her Majesty." Tang Qin clasped his hands together and muttered to himself.

"It's not good," as soon as the words fell, Director Yang was already displeased, "Xiao Tang, don't breathe."

Foot, weak breath, feeling dragged and rhyming ......"

"Could it be a cold and uncomfortable...... Qiu Peining, who was sitting next to Director Yang, whispered, Yang Jie glanced at her, and she immediately lowered her head.

"Again."

"Tang Sanzang, see Her Majesty." Tang Qin clasped his hands together and raised his voice.

"Not good." Director Yang Jie put the script in his hand on the table, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction, "Buddha nature, Tang Seng is a holy monk, although he did not achieve positive results and obtained the Dharma Body at this time, but he is also a promising monk, your voice, did not let people see the holy word, come again......"

"Xiao Tang, you try to speak slowly, separate the tone, and ...... the tone is frustrated," another screenwriter, Mr. Dai Yiqing, reminded that Tang Qin's understanding of the characters just now was very in line with his original intention of adaptation, and he was very optimistic about this young man.

Tang Qin looked at the script, and sure enough, he raised his head again, "Tang Sanzang see Her Majesty the Queen." ”

"Tang Sanzang, see Her Majesty."

"Tang Sanzang, see Her Majesty."

……

One afternoon, no one else had done anything, everyone was listening to Tang Qin seeing Her Majesty, and Her Majesty was sitting beside him, and after a long journey, they were about to fall asleep.

"Xiao Tang, this is not good, is acting not as easy as going to the acupoints? Didn't make money as a star? Director Yang seemed to be smiling, Tang Qin's heart jumped suddenly, Qiu Peining raised his head in surprise, Li Chengru was drinking water, and choked on a mouthful of water......

"But you have to remember that our crew only needs actors, not stars, and tomorrow's first scene, if you don't shoot well, you can go to the cave."
