Li Tang's makeup was relatively simple. He first cleaned up his face, then put on a shawl wig, and finally changed into a three-piece costume. Compared with the previous image of a prodigal son, Linghu Chong, as the leader of the Hengshan Sect in today's scene, finally looks like a successful person of that era.
When he came out of the clothing room, Xu Qing had already changed her clothes. Compared to Li Tang's brown cloth robe, her clothes were much brighter.
The costume design of "The Swordsman" is more realistic. For example, the common clothes are of a few earthy and monotonous colors, while the colors of silk, which symbolizes wealth, are richer. Xu Qing's clothing is also based on brown, but has wide strips of brightly colored embroidery trim on the edges.
In this way, it has the meaning of couple's costume without losing monotony.
Moreover, her hair style and clothing style have strong characteristics of the southern ethnic minorities, reflecting the geographical characteristics of the Demonic Cult coming from the Miao border.
But Xu Qing was obviously in a low mood today, sitting there with a picture of a beautiful woman holding her chin in deep thought.
"Sister Xu Qing, are you right?" Li Tang asked proactively.
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, then realized what she was doing, shook her head, and asked Li Tang, "How is your fingering practice going?"
Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying are both masters of music, and they complement each other well in playing the piano and flute.
For this purpose, the crew specially invited two teachers who played the guqin and the flute to give the two people quick training.
Especially playing the guqin is somewhat similar to playing the piano, especially the fingering. Of course, the actor does not need to be able to actually play during filming. There is dubbing in the later stage, mainly to show the fingering.
The same goes for blow flute, at least you have to look good. Li Tang had previously watched the 1995 version of "Swordsman" produced by TVB. The flute-playing scene in it was changed to flute-playing, and then people praised the combination of the flute and flute. I wonder what Mr. Jin Yong thought after watching it.
Li Tang scratched the back of his head and said, "It's okay to pretend, but it's really not good to play."
Although the prop Guqin used by the crew is not a real Guqin, it is not ordinary either. It is said to be the work of an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage. It is a common Fuxi style, and the sound it produces is clear and smooth.
For Western instruments such as piano and guitar, Li Tang was just fine, but Guqin was really not good at it. He only managed to learn it after a few days, and the sound he played was really miserable.
In contrast, Xu Qing has learned well and can now play some simple songs.
Xu Qing was obviously in a very low mood today, and Li Tang didn't know whether she really had an emotional problem or was in a drama. Because what we were shooting today was a parting scene between Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying: Linghu Chong successfully took over as the head of Hengshan, and Ren Yingying was determined to leave Linghu Chong to help her father attack Heimu Cliff, and then she sat on the edge of the cliff and played the song "Swordsman" ", attracting Linghu Chong to show him the vulnerable side of women.
But this sister is famous for her delicate and rich emotions. Born in a large courtyard, with a sweet and beautiful appearance and an accent in her speech, Da Sa Mi in Beijing was still the crush of many big shots in the industry. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that her love journey was bumpy, and her vigorous relationship with Wang Zhiwen failed to come to fruition in the end.
Speaking of Wang Zhiwen, he is definitely Li Tang’s idol. A young Shanghai man who was hanging around in the capital was actually able to capture the three most famous beauties in the industry at that time - Jiang Shan, Xu Fan and Xu Qing. And they are all the kind where the woman falls in love with someone. Even if they break up, they will still be friends when they see each other again. Most people really can't learn this.
The crew built a total of more than 30 scenes, large and small, in the Water Margin Film and Television City. The largest among them is the Hanging Temple. The entire Hanging Temple is more than ten meters high, showing a leisurely and Zen atmosphere.
To be honest, compared to the 95TVB version which is said to be widely praised, this CCTV version of "The Swordsman" is way ahead of the other in terms of service and setting.
Originally, the Xuankong Temple scene was relatively late, but the crew has been in constant trouble recently. First of all, while filming the scene where Lin Pingzhi and his junior sister were in Si Guo Ya, an oil lamp fell over in full view of everyone. You have to know that the whole Si Guo Ya cave was The man-made landscapes were all made of wooden frame structures and foam plastics. The overturned oil lamps burned instantly, and the fire expanded rapidly. By the time the people were evacuated and people were organized to put out the fire, the fire had already burned through the top of the studio.
Although the fire caused no casualties, the Siguo Cliff, which cost more than 600,000 yuan to build, was destroyed and had to be rebuilt.
Then the spring rains continued throughout April in the south of the Yangtze River. A heavy rain washed away the old Yaowang Temple, so the art and props had to be made from scratch inch by inch.
Fortunately, the scenery of the Xuankong Temple had just been built, so the crew could only move the scenes of the Xuankong Temple to film first.
As a result, not only the workload of the crew behind the scenes has increased dramatically, but the pressure on the actors is also great. After all, the previously prepared scenes cannot be filmed, and the subsequent scenes may not be ready.
…
"Okay, Xu Qing, you are in a very good mood now. Keep it up and prepare for the next shot."
At the scene of the grand Hanging Temple, Xu Qing sat alone on a huge boulder made of wood and foam in the middle, playing the piano, with a sad and resentful expression. The intercom placed under the guqin buzzed, and the voice of director Huang Jianzhong came.
Xu Qing picked up the walkie-talkie, pressed the call button, and said: "I understand, director."
"Xiao Li, are you ready?" Huang Jianzhong turned to ask Li Tang who was waiting.
"no problem!"
"Okay, everyone, get ready...start!"
In front of the camera with a large crane moving slowly, Li Tang walked up the boulder step by step to the sound of Xu Qing's piano.
Today is the day that Linghu Chong takes over as the head of the Hengshan Sect, and it is also the day that his junior sister Yue Lingshan marries Lin Pingzhi. Linghu Chong, who had been expelled from the Huashan School, was in a complicated mood.
After familiarizing himself with the original work, Li Tang always thought that Linghu Chong's deep love was actually his junior sister. After all, first love is the most unforgettable, and what you don't get is often the best.
Ren Yingying took the initiative to come up, and Linghu Chong received a lot of help from Ren Yingying along the way, and even saved his life several times. Faced with Ren Yingying's initiative, Linghu Chong's feelings for her should be more gratitude. Even if there was love, it was definitely not as much as that of his junior sister.
Ren Yingying must be aware of this. At this time, she is not only sad about parting, but also may contain self-pity for not receiving the same return for her emotional efforts.
At this time, Linghu Chong, the head of the Hengshan Sect, was no longer a bohemian prodigal. Just like his clothes, he finally no longer had to wear the baggy waistcoat that didn't look like a waistcoat and the cloak that didn't look like a cloak. Instead, he had a steady and neat robe.
Therefore, when he walked up the boulder, he could not be as jumpy and casual as before. Instead, he put one hand behind his waist and held up his hem with the other, walking steadily and steadily.
Seeing this scene, Huang Jianzhong nodded with satisfaction. Li Tang handled these details perfectly every time without even reminding him.
He walked to Xu Qing and stood next to her. He swung the back of his gown coolly, sat down on a stone next to him, listened to the sound of the piano, and slowly moved his eyes from the strings Xu Qing was playing to her face. .
At this time, the camera lens on the big crane used Li Tang's subjective lens to capture Xu Qing's side face. This way she could avoid the protruding pimple on her forehead. Xu Qing's profile in the camera was absolutely beautiful. At this moment, her long-brewing emotions were finally in place. She didn't even blink, and big tears fell from her eyes, hitting the strings she was playing. on, and then slid down on the fair cheeks.
"Yingying!"
At this time, the camera quickly showed a close-up of Li Tang's face.
He didn't have any exaggerated facial expressions of surprise or shock. Instead, he first conveyed two levels of emotions with his eyes, first slightly stunned, and then surprised. Because at this time Linghu Chong didn't know that Ren Yingying was leaving.
Then his facial expression moved slightly due to the surprised eyes.
"Yingying!" Li Tang called softly again.
I saw him getting closer to Xu Qing, putting his hands on Xu Qing's shoulders and gently pulling her body over.
At this time, Xu Qing's eyes were full of tears, and her wet eyelashes and trembling lips seemed to express the endless grievances and reluctance in her heart.
If it's a movie, this is the right place. But in TV dramas, lines are king.
At this time, Li Tang held up Xu Qing's little face and reached out to wipe the tears on her face. Xu Qing grabbed his hand, forced a smile and said angrily: "You are now the head of the Hengshan Sect, and you are still so unruly!"
Li Tang took Xu Qing's hand, smiled freely, looked up forty-five degrees and said: "Among all the leaders in the world, I am afraid that the leader of the Hengshan Sect is the most inexplicable."
Xu Qingze looked up at him affectionately and said: "Why do you say that? Even the abbot of Shaolin and the master of Wudang are very respectful to you. Who dares to look down on you now! Yue Buqun expelled you from the school. You never have to take it to heart..."
Although Xu Qing was comforting, Li Tang's expression became lonely at this time. On the one hand, it was his love for the Huashan sect where he grew up, but more importantly, he was reluctant to let go of his junior sister. The hat stays in the heart.
Xu Qing continued to persuade him: "The Hengshan and Huashan sects have always been equally famous. Is it possible that the upright head of the Hengshan sect is not as good as a disciple of the Huashan sect?"
After all, Ren Yingying didn't understand Linghu Chong. Generally speaking, people who are free and easy-going are actually the most emotional. Just like Gatsby in "The Great Gatsby" who has always been deeply in love with Debbie, Linghu Chong would do anything for his junior sister, why would he regret being the leader of the Hengshan Sect.
In addition, Huashan Party is a concept of home for Linghu Chong. How important home is to an orphan who was adopted by his master and his wife since he was a wanderer.
In this scene, both the author Jin Yong and the screenwriter grasped Linghu Chong's psychology at this time very well.
Li Tang smiled self-deprecatingly and changed the subject in a relaxed manner: "Yingying, I really should thank you! My ancestors said to them that you were afraid that it would be unseemly for me, a grown man, to be a nun, so I let them Come join the Hengshan Sect."
As he spoke, he smiled and cupped his hands towards Xu Qing and said, "How could these unruly and unruly friends from the world have gone to Hengshan to accept the many rules and regulations if it hadn't been for your holy aunt's orders!"
When a woman loves a man deeply, the happiest thing is probably that her hard work for him can be recognized by him.
At this time, Xu Qing burst into tears and said with a smile: "You become their leader to attack Shaolin. They come to join you because they admire you..."
But as he spoke, he felt lonely and said: "It has nothing to do with me!"
As soon as I arrived here, I heard Huang Jianzhong's voice coming from the intercom: "Stop!"
"The paragraph just now was very good, but Xu Qing, the transition you just made was a little harsh. It would be better if you tighten it up a little bit."
Huang Jianzhong is an encouraging director. He usually does not criticize actors face to face when they make mistakes or perform poorly. Instead, he tries to analyze and discuss them in a gentle tone. In fact, if he and Zhang Dabeard work well together, one will be a good guy and the other a bad guy, they will definitely be the best partners.
Of course, the previous conflict with Shao Bin was entirely due to the old man being pushed into a panic.
Xu Qing may have realized this, so she hurriedly raised her hand and said, "Director, I understand, let's do it again."
