"Jiang Changsheng, the first time you acted in a movie, you played the leading role of a big production like Hero, do you think you can do it?"

"I have faith in myself."

"Either you are a big director or an actress, where does your self-confidence come from?"

"As a writer, not only did my books sell best, but I also won the Mao Dun Literature Award, being a singer is the youngest king of golden songs, and a Grammy, when I was a student, I was the top student in the college entrance examination, and when I was an actor, I also won the Most Popular Actor Award for Sheep TV.

And I'm so handsome.

If you were me, wouldn't you be confident? ”

The scene was silent.

There was a smell of compulsion, but no one could argue with it.

After a few seconds, a reporter asked: "It is said that you didn't want to star in this movie at first, but Director Zhang invited you many times before you agreed to act, is that the case?" ”

"There is no such thing, Director Zhang came to me for the first time, showed me the script, described the scene and core spirit of the movie, and instantly moved me.

Later, I came to our company, just to finalize the specific details of cooperation. ”

"The role of Remnant Sword was looking for Liang Chaowei at the beginning, did you rob him of his role?" A mouthful of Hong Kong, as soon as you hear it, you are a reporter on Hong Kong Island.

"Director Zhang is responsible for the casting, I don't know the specific process, I'm just an actor, just be responsible for shaping the characters in the movie, I don't care about the rest."

"Director Zhang, do you value your reputation abroad? In terms of acting skills, you can't compare to Liang Chaowei at all! "This Hong Kong Island reporter is indomitable, Zhang Yimou's face is gloomy, what kind of stupid media is this?

Jiang Changsheng said lightly: "In my opinion, an actor's job is to shape the role, there is no acting skills at all, let alone acting skills.

Since Director Zhang chose me to play the remnant sword, he believes that I can create the character of the remnant sword. ”

"Wang Fei said in an interview yesterday that he would invite you as a guest at the concert, would you agree?"

"If you have anything to do with the movie, you will refuse to answer."

A press conference showed how hot Jiang Changsheng is now, and international superstars like Li Lianjie were also left out in the cold.

The crew made full preparations in the early stage, and after the press conference, the film was started immediately.

The first scene is the fight between Nameless and Feixue, Jiang Changsheng sat on the side and watched, and Chen Zhiming, who was beside him, asked, "Do you think this movie can be successful?" ”

Jiang Changsheng didn't expect Chen Zhiming to take the initiative to talk to him, and he didn't shy away from it, and said directly: "Commercially speaking, this movie should be a success."

The word-of-mouth may have mixed reputations, but it is more popular overseas, and the domestic audience is estimated to be unacceptable. ”

Chen Zhiming drank unhurriedly: "Why? ”

"Director Zhang Yimou is best at movie pictures and large-scale scene scheduling, and this movie can shoot the beautiful artistic conception of oriental martial arts.

Western audiences like this set very much, such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

But domestic audiences don't necessarily buy it, the plot of this movie is too idealistic, the life and death of King Qin are in the hands of a few assassins, and anyone who knows a little bit of history will play a play. ”

Liao Fan on the side retorted: "We are making a martial arts movie, not a historical drama, it is a bit adapted, and the audience should be able to accept it." ”

"The adaptation is not nonsense, even popular martial arts like Xun Qin Ji must try to put the story into real history, so as to give the audience a real world view.

Based on the historical view of domestic audiences, everyone thinks that Qin's unification of the Six Kingdoms relied on the accumulation of the Sixth Dynasty, the strict law, the mighty Qin army, and the domineering of the First Emperor, rather than relying on the benevolence and righteousness of chivalrous people, and the worldview shaped by the movie did not stand up from the beginning.

No matter how good the story is told later, it is useless, and the audience will feel fake.

Also, Director Zhang wants to express the great righteousness of the Oriental knights who sacrifice their egos and have the world in mind, and go beyond the fights and killings of ordinary martial arts dramas, and the script has a very grand idea.

But without the support of solid plot logic, the higher the idea, the more empty it looks. ”

Zhang Yimou's movie, an early remake of the works of Yu Hua and others, has a solid foundation for works, and the shortcomings of the weak plot are covered up.

Starting from the hero, his movies are good to look at the picture and artistic conception, and don't delve into the logic.

Chen Zhiming narrowed his eyes, "According to what you said, foreign audiences will like this movie, because they don't know the history of our country and have no historical "stereotypes." ”

Zhen Zidan listened to the conversation of several people, and couldn't help but question: "I think the audience can understand what Director Zhang wants to express." ”

Jiang Changsheng did not deny it: "Of course, there will be an audience who understands, so the reputation is mixed, and in the short term, there will definitely be more people scolding in China." ”

After speaking, Jiang Changsheng got up and walked to the high place of the Gobi Desert.

Zhen Zidan asked Chen Zhiming, "Chen Sheng, do you think Jiang Sheng is right?" ”

Jiang Changsheng left, Chen Zhiming lost the interest in speaking, and he replied nonchalantly: "I don't know, we are actors, obey the director's command, and just shoot our own scenes." ”

Jiang Changsheng deliberately walked to the highest point of the Gobi Desert, overlooking the desolate scenery of the Gobi, the wind was blowing, and the sand and gravel were rolled into his mouth.

He closed his eyes, as if he had traveled through time and space, and became the world's number one swordsman.

He is a peerless swordsman who wanders the rivers and lakes, invincible in the world with swordsmanship, but it is difficult to cross the catastrophe, and after meeting Feixue, he followed Feixue to assassinate the King of Qin for love.

In fact, what he cultivated was the sword of righteousness, what is righteousness, reunification is righteousness, peace is righteousness, and it is righteousness to have the world in mind.

In his heart, he told Remnant Jian that he couldn't kill King Qin, but the beloved woman Feixue's greatest wish was to get rid of King Qin.

The dilemma of love and righteousness, the ending of the remnant sword has long been doomed, but he does not regret it, he is willing to die and live up to the world.

This is Jiang Changsheng's understanding of the role of the remnant sword.

In his previous life, Liang Chaowei's role in the remnant sword was melancholy and vicissitudes, but Jiang Changsheng did not understand it this way.

Each actor has their own understanding of the role.

Jiang Changsheng's remnant sword is confident and arrogant, a sect master's bearing, and extremely decisive.

Of course, in the nameless fabricated story, the remnant sword played by Jiang Changsheng has another face, melancholy, tangled, and jealous, which is completely opposite to reality.

Jiang Changsheng deliberately designed it this way, so that the character of the remnant sword had a sense of contrast.

The same character, different interpretations, the favorite of the judges and acting fans.

According to the filming plan, there was a scene of Jiang Changsheng in the afternoon, but it was not until the third day that Jiang Changsheng started the first scene.

Director Zhang Yimou is too ruthless, he shoots several shots a day, and each shot has to be shot many times, and the most time can be more than 30 times.

The filming conditions here in Dunhuang were extremely difficult, and the shooting location was far away from the city, and it took two or three hours to go back and forth every day.

Not to mention the huge temperature difference between day and night, the sun is exposed to the sun during the day, and it is so hot that you have to wear a padded jacket at night.

Jiang Changsheng's makeup is also more troublesome, he is too young, in order to fit the character, his face is blackened a little, and a mustache is pasted.

Jiang Changsheng stayed in the crew for a few days, and he saw Zhang Yimou's excellence.

He is extremely energetic, wakes up at 4 o'clock in the morning every day, and often stays up late at night.

He has a lot of ideas, often pops up with shooting ideas, and has a strong sense of execution.

With his scheduling, although the filming of the crew was difficult, it went relatively smoothly.
