"How did the king find out?"
Half a month has passed, and the scene of Wuming going to the palace to meet King Qin has not been finished yet.
Zhang Yimou's pursuit of details is not comparable to that of Xu Ke and others who Zhang Chu has worked with before. I am afraid that even Li An will be inferior.
This scene runs throughout the entire film, and most of the content takes place in the memories and assumptions of Wuming and King Qin. Each conversation will have different emotional changes.
At first, Wuming went to the palace to make up a lie, and then the King of Qin saw through it. Then the King of Qin provided a hypothesis, which was then denied by Wuming. The truth was not revealed until the end.
During Zhang Chu's half-month period, in addition to watching Chen Daoming's performance on the set every day, after returning to the hotel, Chen Daoming also taught Zhang Chu how to speak and how to control his emotions so as to accurately affect the characters.
At first, Zhang Chu thought Chen Daoming was a very serious person. After all, on the first day he came, he witnessed with his own eyes how Chen Daoming interpreted the emperor.
To be disrespectful, the emperors of Tianqi and Chongzhen that Zhang Chu had ever seen were not as powerful as Chen Daoming.
That kind of imperial aura that seemed to be born with him made Zhang Chu unable to help but want to worship him.
But after a long time of real contact, the awe in Zhang Chu's heart had long since disappeared.
Especially Zhang Yimou recommended him to watch "Kou Lao Xi'er" filmed by Chen Daoming, and found that his mentor actually played a 2B in it.
Zhang Chu couldn't believe that the Eight Wise Kings in the play and the current Qin King Ying Zheng were the same person.
In life, Chen Daoming is also a very easy-going person, and he can be funny from time to time.
Sometimes, he even deliberately teases people.
Zhang Chu's initial impression of him was completely different from Zhang Chu's.
"It's the candlelight in front of me that feels your murderous intent."
Sitting on the throne, Chen Daoming once again became the supreme emperor who held the Constitution in his mouth and controlled countless lives and deaths.
This is probably what Jiang Wen once said to Zhang Chu.
There were several rows of oil lamps placed under the steps of King Qin's throne. According to the script, when Wuming was making up a story, all the flames would fall towards King Qin.
When filming, Zhang Yimou initially thought of adding a few fans to capture the desired effect. However, after trying several times, he couldn't control the wind and distance, and almost tore off Chen Daoming's pants. It was burned, so I had to give up.
By then, I'm afraid this picture will only be synthesized through computer special effects.
"Furthermore, three years ago, I had a chance encounter with Can Jian and Feixue."
Three years ago, Can Jian and Feixue entered the Qin palace. Three thousand soldiers could not resist, and Can Jian broke into the palace. King Qin almost died under his sword, but Can Jian gave up in the end.
It is precisely because of this that Feixue ignored Canjian for three years, and Wuming had the opportunity to fabricate a one-night stand between Feixue and Changkong.
"Based on my opinion of the two of them, they are both open-minded people. Therefore, the one-night stand you said is false. If Changkong can entrust his life to you, you two must have known each other for a long time. You deliberately pretended to be In front of the seven masters of my Qin Palace, defeating Changkong is to gain trust. Therefore, you are the most dangerous assassin. You have practiced swordsmanship for ten years just to assassinate me. But... I don’t understand. Since you have captured Changkong With my silver spear, I can already go up to the palace twenty steps, so why are we still looking for Can Jian and Feixue?"
King Qin had several emotional changes in this line. When Chen Daoming read Bai Bai, through changes in rhythm, he interpreted the joy of seeing through Wuming's lies and regaining control of everything, the relief of guessing the relationship between Wuming and Changkong, and the return of Wuming. I want to find Can Jian and Feixue's doubts.
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Although the plan was discovered, Li Lianjie's tone remained calm.
According to the description in the script, after Wumingcong decided to implement this plan, he had already put life and death aside. Whether to assassinate Qin or not was no longer important to him.
Perhaps he went to the palace to see King Qin just to tell the whole story.
Chen Daoming frowned slightly, then straightened his eyebrows, with a slight smile on his lips: "If you think about it, after ten years of practicing swordsmanship, there must be a powerful move in your swordsmanship. What they can't accomplish, you can do it." Grasp the finish.”
That subtle change is simply wonderful.
This is an experienced actor, this is a good actor. Compared with others, Zhang Chu is at best an amateur.
He can figure out his own way of performing through pondering, but in the end it is a wild way.
In the past half month, although Zhang Chu only observed and practiced every day, and Chen Daoming only taught him some basics, he gained a lot.
Although I still don't know how to explain the performance, I have a vague feeling that I have touched the threshold.
"Yes, Your Majesty is wise. There is indeed a style hidden in my swordsmanship!"
"Which style?"
"Ten steps and one kill!"
Chen Daoming laughed when he heard this: "One kill in ten steps, what a good name!"
"CUT!"
Zhang Yimou yelled to stop. According to the script, at this time, the flame of the oil lamp in front of King Qin would suddenly swing from side to side, indicating that Wuming's murderous intention was chaotic and he was undecided about whether to assassinate King Qin.
"Teacher Chen!"
Zhang Chu quickly stepped forward and helped Chen Daoming sit down. Although he had a heel support, his legs were still prone to numbness after sitting on his knees for a long time.
Speaking of kneeling, Zhang Chu went to Japan before and saw Japanese people sitting on their knees. Looking at the posture, you can tell that they learned it from China.
It's a pity that the learning is not authentic. Japanese people always sit directly on their legs, and the heel support is suitable for kneeling...
The thing they use to serve sushi looks quite similar.
Chen Daoming sat on the mat, gently beating his sore and numb legs.
"Did you understand the scene just now?"
Zhang Chu thought for a while and asked, "Are you talking about mood changes?"
Chen Daoming smiled: "Yes, can you understand?"
"You said before that changes in emotions are real reactions, but when King Qin found out that Wuming was the assassin, his real reaction..."
"What? Fear? If you are an ordinary person, if you know that your life is threatened, your instinctive reaction will definitely be fear, but you have to consider his identity. He is the king who swept across the world and unified the world. He is the emperor of the ages. His courage , how can it be compared to ordinary people?"
"He's not afraid of death?"
"Afraid, of course he is afraid. If he wasn't afraid of death, he wouldn't have sent alchemists out to sea again and again to find the elixir of immortality."
"Then why did he..."
Chen Daoming smiled even happier and seemed to enjoy the process of waking up Yu Mu.
"Do you think it's useful for him to be afraid? His guards are all outside the palace, and Wuming is a real master. By the time the guards come in, he will probably be cold."
If explained this way, it makes sense.
"Performing is not a painting on a blank piece of paper. The identity and personality of the character, including the environment, must be taken into consideration. This requires preparation before shooting. Do you think I come to the set every day with the script?"
Having said this, Chen Daoming was still a little proud.
"I read the script before I started filming. Memorizing all the lines is just a foundation. You have to learn to analyze the characters. For things that are not written in the script, you also have to construct a corresponding picture in your mind and put yourself into the situation. As long as the preparations are done, do you think it's still difficult to act? Everything is pretending in your mind. If you go to the set to read the script, that's not serious, it's amateur."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chu looked towards Li Lianjie who was holding the script below.
Although the Kung Fu Emperor pretended not to hear anything, his expression still clearly showed that he was a little unnatural.
"There's no need to wonder what the director thinks. The character he understands is definitely different from your understanding."
Chen Daoming didn't seem to realize that what he just said offended anyone, and continued to talk.
"In the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets. This sentence is not just words. What the director understands may not be right, and what you understand may not be wrong. It just depends on whether it is suitable or not."
Zhang Chu listened, and suddenly felt like he was about to gain enlightenment.
"Achu!"
At this time, Cheng Xiaodong came over.
Following Cheng Xiaodong was Liang Chaowei.
I had left these two together in Jiuzhaigou before. After such a long time, Zhang Yimou finally remembered.
In King Qin's hypothesis, there should be a battle between Wuming and Canjian, which was also completed in his mind.
Zhang Yimou originally planned to finish filming the scene first, but Liang Chaowei's martial arts skills were too poor, so he had to leave him and Cheng Xiaodong in Jiuzhaigou to learn slowly. He brought Li Lianjie to Hengdian and first brought King Qin The palace scene was filmed.
Zhang Chu agreed that Chen Daoming would be his stand-in to film the life-and-death fight between King Qin and Can Jian three years ago, so Zhang Yimou called Cheng Xiaodong and Liang Chaowei back.
These days, the two of them have been rehearsing every day, and gradually have a tacit understanding.
"When will Director Zhang shoot?"
Zhang Chu took the King of Qin's Sword, drew it out, put a flower on his hand, and asked casually.
"How do I know that Director Zhang doesn't follow the script at all when he shoots the movie? Are you still not feeling it these days?"
Cheng Xiaodong said with a smile.
Can you not feel it?
The conversation between King Qin and Wuming should have been continuous, but it was divided into several sections by Zhang Yimou. Moreover, no one knew which section was filmed every day, so it was just a surprise.
"Start?"
Zhang Chu didn't bother to ask. Anyway, he had already told Zhang Yimou that he would go to Xiangjiang to promote "Hurricane Rescue" at the end of September and join the crew to shoot "Infernal Affairs" at the beginning of October. If he couldn't finish filming this scene before then, But don't blame him for not keeping his word.
Walking to the center of the hall, Zhang Chu opened his stance. The fight between Can Jian and King Qin had been planned for a long time, but Liang Chaowei was not very skilled in mastering it yet.
"please!"
Tony Leung has a gentle temperament and has two completely different faces on and off screen.
These days, Zhang Chu often sees him sitting quietly alone for most of the day.
It's just a pity that I haven't seen him perform yet.
Cannes Best Actor.
Zhang Chu really wanted to see something.
"Watch out!"
As Zhang Chu said this, he swung his sword and attacked Liang Chaowei fiercely. The first move was a big opening and closing move. This was also specially designed by Cheng Xiaodong. The swordsmanship of King Qin should be like this, with the aura of breathing out the mountains and rivers.
