At night, Studio No. 5 of Beijing Film Studio is brightly lit.
For half a month, the crew filmed the Shufangzhai scene here. Shufangzhai is the largest scene that the crew spent a lot of money to build in the studio, and it is also the most important part of the interior scenes in the entire drama.
In December, it is already very cold in Beijing, so filming interior scenes is a very happy thing for everyone. It is said that when filming the first part, the crew had no money at that time, so they had to use the Yanyu Tower of Chengde Summer Resort to shoot on location.
Chengde is a place where summers are hot and winters are cold, and because it was a real-location shooting, and we had to be careful not to damage ancient buildings at all times, it was obviously difficult to shoot, and everyone really suffered a lot.
A highlight will be filmed tonight - the first meeting between Xiao Jian and Qing'er at the wedding of Xiao Yanzi and Ziwei.
Before the filming started, Li Tang was warming up in a corner of the studio as usual and miming at the same time.
There is no hard and fast rule on whether to warm up for acting. The teacher will only emphasize it during physical classes. But moving your body will help you concentrate and stretch your movements during performance.
Li Tang's warm-up behavior at the beginning caused discussion among the crew. Some said he was grandstanding, some said he was pretentious, and some simply said he was pretentious. But as the filming progressed, these discussions gradually disappeared. The reason was simply that Li Tang was good at acting, and some people even began to imitate him.
In any field, as long as you have real abilities, you will be respected by others. Actors rely on their acting skills to speak for themselves. If you have the strength and what you show is convincing, then whatever you do is right.
Now on the set, even Xiao Yanzi's attitude towards him has changed a lot. She had many scenes with Li Tang, and she could clearly feel the pressure from her opponent during the filming process.
That's how acting is. Only by putting appropriate pressure on your opposite actors can you perform better. She is not ungrateful. If it were her classmate Huang Xiaoming, she would not be able to perform so well.
Of course, Li Tang couldn't go all out and suppress her to death as soon as he came up. In seconds, there wasn't even a scum left. After all, he is the leading actor, and the relationship between priorities must be distinguished. Otherwise, it will not be cooperation, but enmity.
Today's scene is still a bit difficult. Xiao Jian and Qing'er meet for the first time. They don't have many lines. They focus more on the inner scene, speaking from the inside and showing it through their eyes and subtle expressions.
This kind of scene made Li Tang feel a little bit like making a movie.
In fact, if you read through the script of the second part of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", you can find Aunt Qiong Yao's preference for the two characters Xiao Jian and Qing'er. For example, the Xiao Jian mentioned before is handsome, capable of both literary and military skills. He has the wisdom and maturity of Er Kang, and the rationality of Bill Kang.
Qing'er, on the other hand, is smart and witty, elegant in manners, versed in poetry and songs, and is deeply loved by Huan Huan. Even the emperor and empress want to give her some credit, and she has a high weight in everyone's minds.
At the same time, Aunt Qiong Yao painstakingly described the two people in terms of their names, life experiences, personalities, etc., all of which paved the way for their final first meeting, fully explaining what it means to "see each other for ten thousand years" and what it means to be together. The romance of "looking for him thousands of times in the crowd, but suddenly looking back, he is in the dimly lit place".
For example, Xiao Jian and Qing'er, as the saying goes, "One sword Zhong Qing".
For example, Qing'er lost her parents when she was young and became an orphan. The Queen Mother saw that she was pitiful, so she kept her by her side and loved her like her own granddaughter.
Xiao Jian and Qing'er's life experiences are very similar. They both lost their parents when they were young and were sent to the foster father's home in Yunnan to be raised.
Life experience and experience have created Xiao Jian's free and uninhibited character, while Qing'er is a cold and aloof person on the outside, but a hot-blooded iceberg on the inside.
They don't like fame and interest rates, don't like to be restrained, and like the vast sea and sky. What they pursue in life is "Xiao Jian's poetry, wine and tea", and they yearn for happiness, freedom and enjoyment.
What's more important is that the two are well matched, one is a descendant of an official and a scholar, and the other is the daughter of a prince.
Of course, this is also Aunt Qiong Yao’s adulterated private goods.
Aunt Qiong Yao seemed to emphasize that they were well-matched, which is why Jin Suo asked for Erkang but couldn't get it, and ended up with Liu Qing; Xiao Jian and Liu Hong had been together for so long, but they never called.
As the saying goes, it is the right way for a master to be with his master, and a slave can only be matched with a slave, or in other words, a maid can be matched with a commoner.
"Xiao Li, are you ready?" the assistant director shouted.
"alright."
Li Tang responded and walked over.
The interior scene of Shufangzhai is the wedding scene of Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi. The two of them, dressed in auspicious costumes, sat side by side, serving as a rare backdrop, while your concubine was in charge of threading the needle.
We had just taken a few scenes, and suddenly the auspicious lock could not be found at the wedding scene, and then there was a panic. The palace ladies rummaged through the boxes and cabinets. Qing'er suddenly remembered that the auspicious lock was in Cining Palace, and was going to go out to find it, so as to arouse the disagreement with Xiao Jian. Encountered by chance, it also plays a role in setting off the atmosphere.
The lighting on site was still being adjusted. At this time, Wang Yan came over and said softly: "Li Tang, what are you going to do in a while?"
Seeing her lack of confidence, Li Tang smiled and said, "Sister Wang Yan, just react normally when the time comes."
"Normal reaction?" Wang Yan was stunned.
"Yes, just follow the description in the script."
The description of this scene in the script is very detailed, including the lines, actions, and the psychological activities of the two people. It can be seen that Aunt Qiong Yao must have been particularly devoted when writing this paragraph.
But what is really reflected in the performance, apart from lines and actions, is the inner drama. Inner drama is a difficult thing to talk about. It can only be understood by the actors themselves. If the opponent actor is strong enough, he can follow the rhythm of the opponent actor.
TV dramas are inherently labor-intensive and not very demanding. As long as your acting skills are up to par and your character is likable, the audience will naturally like it.
Although Wang Yan is not from a major, her acting skills are passable, and Li Tang thinks there should be no problem with her. And the most distinctive thing about Wang Yan is that she has a pair of beautiful almond eyes, which are very clean. She always looks very shy when she smiles, which makes people feel special.
Even if she doesn't act anything, she just looks at it and laughs, the scene is beautiful. Of course it would be even more perfect if it could arouse the mood.
When Wang Yan heard Li Tang's understatement, she hesitated to speak. She was still a little dissatisfied. She usually saw him telling Fan Binbin clearly and logically. It was rare for her to ask for advice, but she just reacted normally. What did you mean?
But she didn't say anything more, but picked up the script and started thinking about it. According to the script, Qing'er has been friends with Xiao Jianshen for a long time, because Ziwei always tells her about Xiao Jian, how handsome, handsome and talented he is...
This seed had already been planted deeply in her heart, so when they met for the first time, she recognized Xiao Jian at a glance.
To put it bluntly, you need that feeling of love at first sight.
The easiest way to find this feeling is to find a replacement emotion. Anyone who knows a little bit about acting will know this stuff, but it is easier said than done.
Wang Yan initially wanted to find the feeling she had when she and her husband met for the first time. Unfortunately, except for the two labels of being rich and mature, she could not find any feeling of love at first sight.
However, a girl's feelings are always poetry. She once had a crush, and her heartbeat at the first sight was like a deer bumping into each other...
Yes, that’s what it feels like!
Remember this feeling!
Wang Yan secretly cheered for herself.
Soon, the lighting was adjusted in place.
"Okay, the actors are in place!"
"All departments prepare!"
Filming is finally about to begin.
