Chapter Seventy-Seven: Many Questions
Li Sufen is a professional artist, who has worked in Beijing Film Studio for more than 20 years, and is also well-known in the industry.
"I remember that time you went to find Mr. Wang Xizhong, I also saw the portraits you painted, Mr. Wang restored it well, but in the details, it was a little bit worse."
"Director Yang also has this opinion, when he was in Yangzhou, he was about to drive Mr. Wang crazy."
Not only in Yangzhou, during this time, every time there is a meeting, Director Yang Jie must talk about the character modeling, especially the modeling of the two core characters of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, which must be improved as soon as possible.
Teacher Wang Xizhong is now forced by Yang Jie to brush off his hair, and he sees that the old man is almost running out of hair.
The pair of characteristic eight-character eyebrows are also wrinkled together all day long, and they get angry when they look at them.
has modified several plans in a row and made several latex masks, but after Yang Jie saw it, she felt that it was better than the original, but she felt that it was not too ideal.
The Monkey King is still not beautiful enough, like a wild monkey, and the color of his face is not accurate.
Zhu Bajie's makeup is not good, is the color black or white? Are the ears bigger or smaller? Should it be hung up or poleped? I didn't find a suitable filler in my stomach, I used water, it was too heavy, and it was inconvenient to walk with a tinkling, so I inflated it, and it was too light, and I felt that it was not elastic with cotton.
In short, it just didn't work out.
But if Director Yang Jie's sentence failed, Wang Xizhong could only overturn the original plan and start over.
Not only is he busy, but Gu Bei is also not idle, as the big housekeeper of the crew, there are enough things, and he has to run to the Beijing Film Studio often, and Gu Bei has lost weight in a few days.
But no matter how tired you are, you still have to hurry up on this matter, and now it's October 1st, according to the requirements of the station leaders, the next episode of "Journey to the West" will be broadcast during the Spring Festival.
The plans are all arranged, and in less than a week, the crew will set off for Qingcheng Mountain in Chengdu, Sichuan Province to shoot "Stealing Ginseng Fruit".
Gu Bei originally thought that the 25-episode "Journey to the West" took six years to film, and it was slow work and meticulous work, who knew that the time was so rushed.
"You're leaving in a few days?"
Li Sufen couldn't help frowning when she heard this.
"How long will it take to go out this time?"
"This time it's a little shorter, maybe twenty days!"
Gu Bei said, looking back on his designated shooting plan in his heart.
If everything goes well, this time I will go out on the 6th, return to Beijing on the 24th, and immediately after I come back, I will be busy with the post-production, and then I will leave for Hunan in mid-November to shoot "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", and when I return to the capital, it will be the New Year.
At the end of the nearly fifty-minute "Demon Removal and Black Chicken Country", the whole family watched it with relish, especially Gu Nan, who pulled Gu Bei and asked how the Monkey King on TV flew up?
And the little Monkey King who talked to the prince, isn't it really that small?
"You didn't see that the prince was played by your brother and me?"
Belch......
Gu Nan was stunned, just now he was only looking at Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, and when she faced Gu Bei, who didn't have a few scenes, the little girl didn't pay attention.
"Brother! You're really acting, huh? β
It really hurts in vain.
Gu Nan was also a little embarrassed.
"I don't look like you on TV, I don't recognize it."
Gu Nan smiled flatteringly.
"Brother! When you guys shoot next time, can you let me go and see it too? β
"We're going to Sichuan next time we film, and you're not going to school?"
When Gu Nan heard this, she was immediately depressed, she knew that if she asked for leave to go to Gu Bei to film, she couldn't mention this at all, otherwise, even if she was the most favored in the family, she would still have to be beaten.
"Okay, okay, your brother is tired these days, Xiaobei, hurry back to the house and rest."
Li Sufen was not wrong in what she said, when she was eating just now, Gu Bei felt that her body was too tired, so when she heard this, she got up and went back to the house, went to bed, and fell asleep after a while.
The next day, everything was as usual, and when the meeting was held in the afternoon, Yang Jie deliberately organized various departments to discuss the problems found in the test set.
Character modeling is a clichΓ©, this point can only be solved by Mr. Wang Xizhong, and now in the entire domestic film and television industry, he is the only one who has mastered this technology, and others are even more blind.
There is also the problem of actors' performances, and today's teacher Dong Xingji of Renyi also came over specially and put forward a lot of opinions on the performances of the actors in the trial episode.
The performance method is still too operatic, and it should be leaning on the side of life, and then there is Sun Wukong, and Mr. Dong is also dissatisfied.
"I can teach Jinlai how to act, but how to act, I can't help it."
The meaning of Mr. Dong's words is very clear, he can teach Zhang Jinlai how to act, but he can't teach Zhang Jinlai how to play Sun Wukong.
Because this image has never appeared in a TV series before, there is no suitable reference at all, so he can only rely on Zhang Jinlai to grope by himself, all he can do is to provide assistance.
Yang Jie nodded, at the meeting of the head of the Literature and Art Department in the morning, Hong Minsheng also mentioned this problem, among the four masters and apprentices, Zhu Bajie was the most satisfied, but the most questioned was not Sun Wukong, but Tang Seng.
In Hong Minsheng's words, I feel that Wang Yue's Tang Seng is a little shabby, and it is better to change it.
It was Yang Jie who said a lot of good things in front of Hong Minsheng, and finally Hong Minsheng nodded and agreed to try again for a while.
"The problems of actors in performance, I think there are many shortcomings, and they need to be improved, so let's set off to Qingcheng Mountain to shoot "Stealing Ginseng Fruit", if it still doesn't work, the cast will be adjusted at any time, I hope everyone must be psychologically prepared."
When everyone heard this, they all raised their hearts.
Everyone can hear that Yang Jie's words are not only talking about actors, actors can be changed at any time, and the same is naturally true behind the scenes.
Although everyone cooperated well when they were in Yangzhou before, it was not without problems at all.
Especially after Gu Bei did the on-site coordination, although there were no big contradictions in the work, there was no shortage of quarrels.
Yang Jie is clearly vaccinating everyone, in this group, if anyone dares to do something, they will let you go in minutes.
Immediately afterwards, many problems were mentioned, and Gu Bei, as the copywriter of the crew, recorded them all one by one.
"Xiao Gu, don't just remember, you also read it yesterday, tell me what you think."
Yang Jie saw that all departments were almost talking, and called Gu Bei's name again.
Gu Bei put down the pen, quickly sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "The teachers have talked about many aspects just now, modeling, performance, etc., I won't repeat it, what I want to say is, soundtrack." β
Soundtrack!
What's wrong with the soundtrack?
Gu Bei continued: "To be precise, I'm not very satisfied with the theme song in the trial set. β
"Xiao Gu, the opening song was written by Teacher XXX, and he is a famous composer."
Gu Bei didn't rush to refute, but recited the lyrics he wrote down yesterday: "It's a pity that there are so many dangers in the world, but there are injustices in the world...... It's sighs again, it's helplessness again, where are there so many sighs, where is there so much helplessness? β
This question directly stunned everyone present, Yang Jie also frowned, she just felt that the theme song was a little worse yesterday, but now listening to Gu Beiyi, it is really like this.
"It was originally a feat to learn scriptures from the west, but it turned out to be so helpless, it's not an exaggeration to say that it is not atmospheric enough, right?"
Gu Bei said, looking at everyone's reactions, everyone was thinking.
"There is also a tune, which is stable and old-fashioned, with some sad and sympathetic feelings, if it is only used as the theme song of Tang Seng, it is okay, but it is obviously not suitable as the theme song of "Journey to the West", there is no Monkey King's personality in it, and there is no courage and strength to move forward without fear of hardships and dangers."
Speaking of this, Gu Bei stopped in time, whether it was a replacement or not, that was a question that the leader should consider.
"Xiao Zhu, you contact another composer, and when you come back from Sichuan, I will get a new tune."
Zhu Xiaofeng smiled helplessly, but Yang Jie assigned him the task, and he could only try his best to complete it.
"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."
Yang Jie pondered for a while and added: "That's it, write at home, I guess I don't have any inspiration, and I don't have life, you have found someone in the past two days, and then let him go to the filming location with the crew to experience life." β
Write an opening song, but still have to experience life?
"Uh...... Good, good! β
After explaining this matter, Yang Jie looked at the time, it was almost time for lunch.
"The problem that everyone summed up just now, Xiao Gu, you form a text as soon as possible and send it to every department of the crew, which department's problem is it, the person in charge of the department takes the lead, hurry up and come up with a solution, comrades, time waits for no one, today is the 2nd, we will leave for Qingcheng Mountain on the 6th, and when it comes to the Spring Festival, "Stealing Ginseng Fruit" will be broadcast, let's calculate, how long do we have left?"
The shooting plan for this year and next year, as early as before the National Day, Gu Bei had already announced it, the plan was formulated by him, and then reported to Yang Jie for approval, and Yang Jie reported it to Ruan Ruolin and Hong Minsheng, and the three leaders signed it.
Until the end of 84, this plan must be strictly followed.
"I still say the same thing, filming "Journey to the West" is a very hard work in itself, when I was in Yangzhou before, I believe all comrades have also felt it, if anyone can't bear this hardship, they can quit at any time."
After Yang Jie finished speaking, she waited for a while, and when she saw that no one spoke, she was also very satisfied.
"Okay, adjourn the meeting, continue in the afternoon, find the problem in time, and solve the problem."
Call......
Watching Director Yang Jie leave, Gu Bei also breathed a sigh of relief, the old lady's aura just now was really a little scary.
As for the issues that have been summed up this morning......
Gu Bei decided to talk to Director Yang Jie before the meeting in the afternoon.
