Chapter 487: Stone Bridge Zen
Above the county government, Fan Bingbing suddenly knelt on the ground, his upper body leaned back, and the soft sword in his hand slashed backwards on several martial artists wearing government uniforms.
"Ahh With a scream, several people turned over and fell to the ground motionless.
"Okay, click!" Chen Shuo shouted with the walkie-talkie, and then looked at the footage he had just taken.
Fan Bingbing grinned and stood up with the help of his assistant, gently rubbing his knees.
"Okay, it's over!" Chen Shuo shouted, and several messages appeared in front of his eyes.
"The character completes the director once, because the director level is excellent this time, skill: director experience +10."
“……”
However, he didn't pay too much attention to this, looked at Fan Bingbing with a painful face and asked, "Sister Bingbing is okay?" ”
"It's fine." Although Fan Bingbing said this, seeing that she was walking with a limp, it obviously didn't look like she was really fine.
"Doctor!"
Chen Shuo shouted and said, "Take a hand and help the soldier sister to the side." ”
Several on-site field attendants helped her assistant to hold her to the side of the rest.
The doctors and nurses who were there also came to her side, lifted her skirt and pants, and removed the knee pads to reveal her red knee.
In this shot just now, it was originally required to bend down after her upper body, but she was not required to kneel on the ground.
Unexpectedly, she didn't hold it up all of a sudden, she knelt down, Chen Shuo felt that the effect was good after watching it, and let her shoot it again.
Unexpectedly, I didn't master the strength twice, and when I knelt down, I used too much force, and my knee was red.
Fortunately, the doctor didn't have any major problems when he saw it, he just needed to spray some swelling sprays and take a break.
Moreover, with the filming of the scene just now, today's scene is also over.
Let people pack up their things and start the transition, Chen Shuo said to Fan Bingbing: "Sister Bingbing, go back and rest first, I will ask you for a leave of absence for the afternoon scene." ”
"Thank you, Director Chen!" Fan Bingbing said gratefully.
Chen Shuo nodded, and explained to her assistant: "Go back and spray more medicine." ”
Then he beckoned everyone to hurry up and pack up their things, and then transferred to a ruined temple.
Shu Xuan and Yang Junyi came here early, and under the guidance of Shen Pingchuan, they were lining up their movements over and over again.
"Fourth brother, how are you preparing?"
The two saw him take his action, and Yang Junyi said: "It's almost, Yan Yan's physical fitness is very good, and it's absolutely no problem to shoot." ”
Shu Yan also said: "It should be no problem." ”
Chen Shuo nodded and said: "That's okay, but be careful when you shoot later, in the morning, Fan Bingbing hurt his knee, pay more attention later." ”
Shu Yan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pay attention to it later." ”
Yang Junyi is nothing, such an action is not a problem for him.
And he is a big man, and he also practices martial arts, and stumbling is a common thing.
This afternoon is still a relatively important scene, according to the order of the script, it is a turning point, and it is also a scene that points out the whole theme.
Before the Buddha's disciple Ananda became a monk, he met a girl on the Tao and fell in love with him ever since.
The Buddha asked him, "How much do you like this girl?"
Ananda replied, "I would like to be incarnated as a stone bridge, and be blown by the wind for five hundred years, the sun for five hundred years, and the rain for five hundred years, but I ask this girl to walk over the bridge."
This is a Buddhist story, but here, it has been turned into a theme of the whole movie by Chen Shuo.
The killer Drizzle withdrew from the rivers and lakes because of Lu Zhu's words, seeking an ordinary life and love.
This scene is about Lu Zhu using his own life to survive the drizzle struggling in the sea of suffering.
However, if you are willing to give up, you will be willing to give up, Lu Zhu has given up his life, but he has also achieved his own merits.
Drizzle gave up herself and achieved the newborn Zeng Jing and a love.
Even Jiang Asheng gave up his past hatred and gained a complete home.
The difficulty of this scene seems to be in the martial arts, Lu Zhu used the competition to make up for the shortcomings of the drizzle and water swordsmanship, but in fact, the literary drama contained in it is the focus.
Lu Zhu followed the drizzle for three months, from the beginning he just wanted to stop her from doing evil, slowly understood her heart, and began to like her.
It's like Ananda falling in love with a girl after meeting a girl.
However, when he saw that the drizzle was too deep to pull out, he couldn't help but have the determination to sacrifice his life.
With his own life, he awakened the conscience of Drizzle and put a shackle on her.
When she realizes herself from the shackles and regains her life, it is the time when the merits of the two are complete.
Before his death, Lu Zhu had changed from a small love to a big love.
It seems that he died on the fossil bridge, willing to bear the wind, sun, and rain, just to let the drizzle walk on this bridge.
In fact, it is also this small love that derives great love, and saving one person is to save all the creatures that may be killed by her in the future.
At the same time, he also saved himself who had broken his vows.
After Chen Shuo arrived, the crew prepared for a while, and Zhang Yimou also rushed over.
He is also very concerned about this scene, and wants to personally guide Chen Shuo to finish filming this scene on the spot.
Everything is ready, and after the staff puts down the black cloth outside, the shooting officially begins.
Under the cover of the black cloth, the room seemed to fall into the night, and the swaying of the bonfire cast the figures of the two on the mottled walls.
With Yang Junyi here, the best thing to shoot is nothing more than a play, just a simple fight.
Of course, action scenes are easy to say, but they are not so easy to film.
Chen Shuo's previous practice of the eight-move swordsmanship had been filmed for more than two hours, and it was only then that the filming was completed.
Before the start of filming, he called Shu Hui and Yang Junyi over and explained: "Shu Hui, your task is mainly on the part of martial arts, which is more reflected in the understanding of the water sword technique. ”
After Shu Yan nodded, he said to Yang Junyi: "The most important part of this play is in your performance.
How to present an image of confidence, restraint, freedom and compassion depends on your next performance. ”
"Director Zhang, I will definitely do my best to play this scene well." Yang Junyi nodded seriously.
He doesn't have many scenes in this play, only this one.
After many discussions with Chen Shuo and the screenwriting team, he wrote a 50,000-word biography for Lu Zhu, a character who only appeared once.
From his origin, martial arts experience, to the various changes he saw after the drizzle, he designed them one by one.
If you want to process the biography he wrote, it doesn't take too much effort to shoot a biography of Lu Zhu.
As Chen Shuo and Yu Bo have become big stars in film and television one after another, he also wants to go up.
Since he, Zhang Jin, Yu Bo and Chen Shuo joined Zhou Yi one after another, Chen Shuo first became famous through "Wearing Love" and "Crystal Love".
participated in many other TV series one after another, and then began to meet Zhang Yimou and acted in "Ambush on All Sides", completing the transition from TV series to movies.
When Yu Bo played the leading role in Chen Shuo, he played the second male lead, and when Chen Shuo started to play the male lead of another family, he also began to play the male lead.
Later, he also came into contact with movies for the first time through "Seven Swords", and then came to this "Sword Rain Jianghu", completing the transition from TV series to movies.
And he is now on this path, when Yu Bo no longer needs the male lead in the TV series, last year he had already starred in the male lead in the two TV series "Phantom Needle" and "Jingwei Reclamation".
This year, he wants to complete the transformation to a movie through "Sword Rain" and "Crazy Stone".
After the next movie in which he plays the leading role starts shooting, I think I can also complete the transition to a movie.
Lu Zhu's role is not much, but it is very distinctive.
If the acting is good, he thinks it will even be more popular than Zhang Jin's drama artist.
After the two of them made some preparations, they started filming the part of the literary drama.
After setting up the machine, Yang Junyi sat in front of the bonfire, wearing a simple monk's robe over his body, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck, and his short hair that had not yet been shaved was only an inch.
His eyes closed slightly, and he said softly, "You have four swordsmanship that you haven't learned. ”
Shu Huan, dressed in a crimson tight-fitting suit, stood behind him, pointed at him with a water-repellent sword, and said coldly: "So what?" ”
"I'm worried that in the future, if you meet a real master, once he sees the flaws......"
The words were not finished, but in the flat tone, there was a hint of worry.
Shu Yan stepped forward, "You turn around and look at me!" ”
"I can't see you again." Yang Junyi said inexplicably: "In a few days, I will officially be ordained." ”
Shu Hui's eyes opened, he took a step forward, pointed his sword at the back of his head and said, "I only said shaving now, so why are you pestering me for three months?" ”
Yang Junyi's tone returned to a flat tone, and said: "After saying goodbye today, I will chant sutras for you in the morning and dusk to eliminate karma, and ask the Buddha to make a wish, so that you can realize and break."
It can cut off all the Dharma, all the suffering in the world, get out of the sea of suffering, and go to the other side. ”
Listening to him say these words in such a flat tone, a trace of inexplicable anger rose in Shu Yan's heart, which she had never had before.
She put away her sword and took two steps back, "Can it be broken?" Can you break it? If any temple dares to help you shave your degree, I will kill all the people in the temple. ”
With that, he picked up his sword and turned around and left.
"Wait!" Yang Junyi shouted, as if he had made up his mind, got up and turned around, looking at her back.
The situation between the two has been reversed from just now, the difference is that Shu Yan has always had a firm determination.
And Yang Junyi's back just now seemed to be relieved, but it was actually evasion, and now the face seems to be a face, but in fact, he has already felt relieved.
Free yourself, free others.
"Today, it's time for me to eliminate this sin and end this relationship."
"Okay, stop!"
After he finished his lines, Chen Shuo shouted loudly, and the shooting ended in an instant.
He gave Yang Junyi a thumbs up and said, "Fourth brother, you're doing well." ”
Yang Junyi nodded slightly, did not respond, and did not leave the venue, but just stood there quietly.
He is still immersed in the characters, and he does not want to get out of it now, and there is one of the most important scenes next.
Chen Shuo didn't care about him, and Zhang Yimou played back the picture just shot, looking at the performance of Shu Wei and Yang Junyi under the camera, Chen Shuo nodded with satisfaction.
The encounter between Lu Zhu and Drizzle was a bad fate, originally Lu Zhu was going to shave and become a monk, but before shaving his ordination, he heard about the fact that Rama's body was born in the rivers and lakes and was snatched away by Drizzle.
With strong martial arts, he wanted to dissipate the killing for the rivers and lakes before shaving, so he found a drizzle and pestered her for three months.
The original intention was to take back Rama's body from her and persuade her not to kill again.
It's just that getting along in March made him move Hongchen's heart and made him entangled between Buddha and love.
I was worried about hurting the Sanskrit line, and I was afraid that I would not fall into the city when I entered the mountain, and I had the law of both worlds, and I didn't live up to it.
Since you can't have both, then throw both, and everything will follow fate.
With an ethereal sound like rain dropping on the surface of the water, the water-repellent sword stabbed into Lu Zhu's chest.
Feeling the cold blade, Yang Junyi smiled, and his expression was serene: "The Zen machine has arrived!" ”
He took off the beads from his neck and said, "If you can put down this sword in your hand and leave this path, I would like to be the last person you kill." ”
With that, he gently placed the Buddha bead in his hand on the blade of the sword.
Shu Xuan gently pulled out the sword, but with a slight movement, the sharp blade cut the rope and scattered the Buddha beads on the ground.
Acting here, Yang Junyi seems to really integrate into the characters, and there is a sense of detachment.
The blood hidden in his chest soaked the monk's robe on his body, and it looked a little dark in the hazy firelight.
After the makeup artist touched up the makeup, his face looked a little pale, but his expression was very serene.
The tone is weak and weak, but it doesn't seem rapid.
"Send Rama's body to Yunhe Temple in Nanjing and hand it over to the presiding master, the secret of the body is ......"
Before he finished speaking, his head slowly drooped and passed away.
"Smack! Syllable! Papapa~" As Chen Shuo applauded, others also applauded.
Yang Junyi's performance just now has indeed reached the self-confidence, restraint, free and easy, and compassion that Zhang Yimou said.
Yang Junyi stood up, closed his eyes and stood for a while, then opened his eyes and asked Chen Shuo, "How was it, how did you perform just now?" ”
"Good." Zhang Yimou got up and gave him a thumbs up, nodded and said, "The performance just now is very layered and meets the requirements I said." ”
"Thank you, Director Zhang, for your compliment." Yang Junyi came to the two of them and said a little shyly: "Thanks to Director Zhang's teaching during this time, I can have my current performance." ”
"Director Zhang, what about my performance?" Shu Yan also asked with a smile.
"Your performance is very spiritual, and you are willing to delve into it." Zhang Yimou first affirmed her performance, and then changed the conversation and said: "However, when you perform in the future, you should be more confident." ”
"Confidence?" Shu Yan said a little dazedly: "Isn't my performance confident enough?" ”
"The self-confidence I'm talking about is not your confidence in your understanding of the role and the performance of each scene, but your own self-confidence, which should be more confident in the way of acting.
I can feel that you have studied the role and every scene very deeply, but you lack a kind of confidence in your art.
You should have the confidence that I can get everything from my performance.
Without this confidence, your performance will always have a medium limit.
Although it doesn't delay the performance, it won't do you any better if you go further into the character. ”
Zhang Yimou is good at training actors, he doesn't have to bear the most important pressure in this play, and he has more energy to guide everyone's performance.
Yu Bo, Shu Hui, Yang Junyi and others have all received his guidance, and these instructions are their biggest gains in filming this drama in addition to fame.
This is not just an experience of a play, but a gain for the performance and for your own career in the future.
Of course, the same is true for Chen Shuo, who has been hungry to learn everything when he was filming.
After filming this scene, it was not only Yang Junyi and Shu Wei who grew up, but Chen Shuo who gained the most.
This scene can be said to be Zhang Yimou's hand-in-hand teaching him how to direct a scene, and establishing a film concept for him from the perspective of directing and artistic presentation.
Whether a movie is good or not, the person who makes it knows best.
Just like when Zhang Yimou was filming "Hero", not long after the filming started, they discovered the shortcomings of the story.
However, because he was under too much pressure at the beginning, once filming started, they could not be allowed to make major changes, so they could only make mistakes.
When filming "Ambush on All Sides", he learned the lesson of the last time and wanted to improve it as much as possible in the early preparation stage.
However, due to various reasons, until the start of filming, the whole movie was not completely finalized.
Even after filming started, Mei Yanfang was almost unable to participate, and finally participated, but inevitably revised the script.
The filming of the two plays gave him different experiences, and also allowed him to explore some experiences in them.
Commercial films require precise preparation, but because of his own more emotional nature of art, he cannot carry out such precise preparation.
Even if you are prepared, you will disrupt your plans for various reasons.
After returning to the hotel in the evening, Zhang Yimou and Chen Shuo found a place to sit down, looked at the bright moon outside the window, and said with feeling: "Chen Shuo, what do you think you can do to be a qualified director?" ”
Chen Shuo thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I personally have a personal opinion, I don't think there is a conclusion on this matter."
Some people have a strong desire to control, thinking that the director is the soul of a movie, and all the actors, props, behind-the-scenes, and even investors are his tools to realize his ideas, and he wants them to present them strictly according to their own ideas.
Some people believe that art is a collision of inspirations, and that it only takes a specific place and a specific person or thing to generate a wonderful story.
There are also people who think that the story I shoot is to make people watch Noh, and that is a good and qualified director. ”
He looked at Zhang Yimou and asked, "Director Zhang, what kind of director do you think you are?" ”
Zhang Yimou was silent for a moment and said: "I think I am like a director with a strong desire to control, and I want everyone to follow my ideas in any arrangement."
However, in reality, I couldn't do it.
First, my own ability is not enough to perfectly control all aspects of a crew, and second, I am not as strong as I think.
I just taught Xiao Shu to have confidence in art, but I find that I am losing this confidence now. ”
Chen Shuo was also silent for a while before he said: "Perhaps, Director Zhang, you can learn from today's fourth brother, give up some tangled parts appropriately, and let it develop naturally."
Director Zhang thinks that he is tired of filming "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides", or is he tired of filming "Sword Rain Jianghu"? ”
"When filming "Ambush on All Sides", it was the most tiring, and "Rain of Swords" was the easiest." Zhang Yimou smiled and said: "But if you want to say that the happiest thing is when I was filming "Red Sorghum". ”
As if remembering something, he looked at the moon that was half covered by dark clouds, and said: "At that time, the mind was the purest time, just like when you were filming "Ambush on All Sides" before.
Perhaps, after filming this drama, I should find my original intention. ”
Chen Shuo looked at him and didn't speak.
