Faithful to the original, cautious about renovation.

Gu Bei's eight words really speak to Yang Jie's heart.

"Journey to the West" has been written for hundreds of years, and the masses have a wide base, who doesn't know Sun Wukong, who doesn't know Zhu Bajie, like the "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", "The Great War Red Boy", and "Three Tone Banana Fan" in the book, the common people are even more familiar.

After the adaptation, whether it is the characters or the story, when the time comes, the audience will look twisted and will not agree at all.

Why did the station make such a big determination this time, it was not because the drama team rebroadcast Xiaori's "Journey to the West", but just after three episodes, letters from the audience flew like snowflakes and scolded them.

Is that still "Journey to the West"?

Sun Wukong can chisel through the ground with a stick, and the oil spewed out reaches the heavens; Tang Seng cried and shouted that he wanted to marry the monster, but was knocked unconscious by Sun Wukong, and Zhu Bajie jumped to wake up Tang Seng; Tang Seng is still played by a woman...... And so on.

After watching less than one episode before, Yang Jie didn't want to watch it.

Because it's so outrageous, it's so ridiculous.

"Journey to the West" is made like this, which can be regarded as imaginative and creative, but what is the original appearance of "Journey to the West"?

I can't see it in the version of the small days at all!

Is it possible to treat Chinese classical masterpieces in this way?

Yang Jie was angry!

Therefore, the above instructions should be made to shoot the famous works of the Chinese themselves.

The burden fell on her shoulders, although it was heavy, but Yang Jie had to grit her teeth and carry it.

This has been her dream for a long time.

"Xiao Gu said it well, young people should dare to think and dare to speak, after the meeting is over, you sort out what you just said, form a text and hand it over to me, be loyal to the original work, be cautious about renovation, Xiao Feng, this must be remembered."

Sitting on the side, the middle-aged man wearing black-framed glasses nodded, he was Zhu Xiaofeng of the Taili drama group, who had been appointed by Yang Jie as the assistant director of the "Journey to the West" crew, responsible for leading the script adaptation and casting.

"Let's continue to discuss, the few issues just mentioned are indeed very important, and they are also the most important difficulties in front of us, it doesn't matter if there are difficulties, find ways to overcome them one by one, we not only want to shoot "Journey to the West", shoot Tang monks and apprentices to learn scriptures in the west, but also learn from Tang monks and apprentices, and overcome all difficulties with the spirit of Tang monks learning scriptures."

was given a shot in the arm by Director Yang Jie, and everyone who was still depressed just now because of various difficulties has become more energetic and energetic.

Gu Bei, an old social animal with decades of work experience and social experience, naturally will not burn his passion because of a few mouthfuls of chicken blood.

Even secretly regretting that he was too sharp just now, he didn't know what was wrong with him, he obviously thought about it, and said that half of it would be left for half, and everything had to be left with leeway.

As a result, perhaps because he was reborn and became young again, he couldn't hold it at all because he was enthusiastic for a while.

Now we have to focus on how to overcome the difficulties, but this can be overcome with enthusiasm and determination?

In the previous life, director Yang Jie and the crew of "Journey to the West" did produce a classic, but the problems and difficulties that everyone relied on to solve with wisdom and strange methods are still difficult to overcome.

Now in front of the preparatory team, the biggest problem is the mythological characteristics of "Journey to the West", which requires a lot of special effects to perform.

And this is precisely CCTV's weakness!

In the early 80s, television workers in the mainland did not know what stunts were, and they had never even seen what "Wia" was all about, let alone computer stunts or virtual studios......

So in "Journey to the West", how do Sun Wukong and many gods and monsters soar through the clouds? How to get to heaven and earth? How to Ascend on the Ground? How is it ever-changing? These are all unavoidable problems.

In addition to mastering a little bit of television, it is far from enough to rely on an ADO stunt machine.

When chatting with Lao Zhang in the morning, Lao Zhang also showed off the imported machine as a treasure and showed off to Gu Bei.

After eating at noon, Gu Bei, who had already determined that he had been arranged into the crew of "Journey to the West", went to see it, and he had seen one of the same ADO at school.

I heard Lao Zhang say that this machine was imported from Xiaori last year at a large price, but it is not the latest model at all.

No wonder "Journey to the West" was filmed, and the characters were all flattened as soon as they were stretched.

"It's really hard to solve this aspect of stunts, let's play to our strengths and avoid weaknesses, try to give full play to our advantages, pay attention to the story, and strive to tell the story of "Journey to the West" well."

The stunts are not enough, the story is to make up.

The general direction proposed by director Yang Jie has been unanimously recognized by everyone.

"On the one hand, we can learn from the existing filming methods, on the other hand, we can adopt the method of combining local and foreign, mobilize all means, mobilize all types of work of the crew, camera, makeup, props, lighting, smoke, martial arts and other departments, open up ideas, and jointly solve the problems encountered."

The next thing is to brainstorm, have proposed what can be used to solve a certain situation, the more they talk, the more excited they become, no one notices, the time to get off work has come.

Gu Bei listened and took notes, and secretly sighed that the wisdom of the people was really infinite.

"Then there's the framing."

Speaking of this, Yang Jie looked at Gu Bei, who had not spoken all along, but kept recording, and the suggestions mentioned by Gu Bei before made her very inspired.

Maybe......

"Xiao Gu, tell me your opinion."

Yang Jie's heart suddenly gave birth to a little expectation.

Before, she was not happy because the leaders above forced Gu Bei into the preparatory group.

Hearing Yang Jie call Gu Bei's name again, everyone once again locked their eyes on Gu Bei's body.

This is not a young man with an empty head and nothing to say.

Gu Bei was watched by everyone and was just about to stand up.

"Sit and say, there are no outsiders here, for a long time to come, we all have to be together, working hard for a goal, there is no need to be so polite."

Gotcha!

Gu Bei was really unkind, and sorted out his thoughts a little: "I think, since it is "Journey to the West", then 'You' is a running line." ”

Ho! What a thing!

"From the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty to the exotic scenery, the changes in the environment show the remoteness and hardship of the Tang monks and apprentices. We can use the word 'travel' to bring into the play the gorgeous and colorful mountains and rivers of our country, the famous classical gardens, and the long-standing Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, so as to enhance its sense of reality and magic, and achieve the effect of scene blending and scenery to support feelings. ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes became brighter and brighter.

Gu Bei couldn't close the box he opened, and continued: "This in itself is one of our major advantages, let's ask which country can have so many good mountains, rivers and beautiful scenery in our China, we must make good use of it." ”

Yang Jie listened and nodded incessantly, on this issue, she had already mentioned it at the meeting of the head of the Ministry of Literature and Art in the morning.

If you want to shoot "Journey to the West" well, it is not enough to just set up a set in the studio, not only to take the location, but also to investigate on a large scale across the country.

At that time, some people objected, and said anything, to shoot the exterior, there are mountains in the suburbs of the capital, you can shoot it if you turn it over and transfer it, save money and time, why go outside!

Is this a human talk?

Yang Jie was annoyed at the time, filming around the capital and filming the whole "Journey to the West"?

Did the Tang monks and apprentices go to the west to learn scriptures, or go to Miaofeng Mountain to catch the temple fair?

Gu Bei's words were deeply meaningful.

"Xiao Gu is right, the ideal environment will play an extremely important role in setting off the atmosphere and portraying the characters, and the combination of magical stories and wonderful scenery will greatly increase its aesthetic value!"

Everyone: We think the same way.

Gu Bei continued: "However, "Journey to the West" is a mythological story, and it is far from enough to only use exterior scenes, because there are many scenery that cannot be found in the world, and you must rely on setting up scenes. For example, Lingxiao Treasure Palace, Yaochi Wonderland, Undersea Dragon Palace, and Netherworld Mansion...... All of these need to rely on the scenery in the studio to turn these illusory environments that do not exist in the world into visual images. ”

Peng Li followed and said: "Agree, it is necessary to adopt the policy of combining virtual and real, and focusing on reality, in order to create a perfect artistic effect." ”

Others also got involved and gave their own opinions.

What kind of place should Huaguoshan choose?

Is it possible to consider Huangguoshu Waterfall in Water Curtain Cave?

Can you go to Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan, which is a Taoist holy place?

Everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized again.

In the end, it was director Yang Jie who made the decision: "We want to conduct a large-scale field investigation across the country, and strive to shoot a "Journey to the West" that is both beautiful, magical, popular, elegant, faithful to the original work, and cautious about renovation." ”

"Good ......"

Passed by acclamation.

But then, the problem to be faced is very practical.

What about money?

If you want to go out to inspect the location, you need money for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the team members, and this is just a small amount of money.

A crew with actors behind the scenes, hundreds of people, people eat horses and chews, which doesn't need money!

Where does the money come from?

Moreover, if you spend money on going out for filming, can the leaders in the stage agree?

"Director Yang!"

In the end, Peng Li, who was the most courageous, asked cautiously.

"The station has decided to let us shoot "Journey to the West", can it be allocated to us...... How much does it cost? ”

Gu Bei also looked at Yang Jie, he only knew that in the end, "Journey to the West" was filmed after many hardships, but how much support can the station give?

He remembered that the filming work almost died in the middle of the filming, and in the end, it was a staff member of the crew who found funds outside to allow the filming of "Journey to the West" to continue.

Fear......

Taili is also powerless, even if it is powerful, if it is a meager force!

Yang Jie didn't speak, she muttered for a long time, and suddenly got up and walked out of the conference room.

What do you mean?

I'm talking about the Gen Festival, why are you still leaving?

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Wang Chongqiu stood up and said with a smile: "Break the meeting!" ”
