Today's scene is considered a highlight, and it is also Li Tang's first scene after joining the group.
The story is that Guo Jing and Huang Rong, who were disguised as men, were guests at Guiyun Village. They happened to meet Yang Kang, the imperial envoy of the Jin Dynasty, who was captured by Lu Guanying, the young master of Guiyun Village. Yang Kang relied on his strong martial arts skills to compete with Lu Guanying, but Lu Guanying was defeated. At the critical moment, the owner of Guiyun Village, Lu Chengfeng, who was disabled in both legs, took action to repel Yang Kang.
To be honest, despite the fact that Ma Yucheng, the martial arts director of the crew, keeps saying that the fighting scenes in "The Condor" must be more exciting than "Swordsman", but according to Li Tang's observations in the past few days, Ma Yucheng's martial arts action design is inferior to that of Yuan Bing. Far. Moreover, Zhou Xun, as the heroine, is really not suitable for shooting scenes. Many actions cannot be completed. She often puts on a posture on the scene, and then has a stand-in to complete the actions. In this way, the quality of the picture is naturally greatly reduced.
In comparison, Li Yapeng's attitude is not bad, but he can't help but act out when he hears his voice. In the original work, Guo Jing is just a talent for martial arts and is dull, not stupid. But he played Guo Jing as if he was mentally retarded.
Nowadays, Li Tang is not afraid of fighting scenes at all. In the past few days, he has been practicing moves with the martial arts brothers in the group. I can’t say that the whole set of actions in this scene is innocent, but basically there is no problem. big.
Because it is the highlight, the literary and martial arts in this scene are combined. The literary opera director Ju Jueliang and the martial arts director Ma Yucheng were both present. In addition, executive director Wu Lan Baoyin also made a guest appearance as Lu Chengfeng, the owner of Guiyun Village.
When the chief director Wang Rui was here, the scene was usually full of Chinese slogans such as "Ready", "Start", "Stop", etc. Now it has been replaced by a bunch of Hong Kong people, and the scene is full of "Ready", "Action", "Cut" ”, and then there were shouts of “What the heck”, “Please”, “Come on” and various combinations of earthy and foreign sounds.
The first two scenes were between the two protagonists Zhou Xun and Li Yapeng and Lu Chengfeng. Li Tang did not watch them, but was left alone to figure out how Yang Kang, his character, should appear.
According to the description of Yang Kang, as the young prince of the Kingdom of Jin, he was arrogant and arrogant. He did not take the world's heroes seriously at first. Moreover, the biggest difference between him and Guo Jing was that he was smart, had an extraordinary IQ, and knew how to adapt to the wind and follow the trend.
It's just that Li Tang felt that the description of Yang Kang in the book was not sufficient. For example, Yang Kang grew up in the Kingdom of Jin. The so-called Jin Kingdom, to put it bluntly, is my ancestor of the Qing Dynasty. It was a barbaric, backward, and slave-owning society. Since Yang Kang is the young prince of the Jin Kingdom, he is his master. Since the Northern Song Dynasty was weak, he was always in a weak position in the confrontation with the Jin Kingdom. So when Yang Kang appeared on the stage, he should be arrogant and full of momentum.
Li Tang also referred to the TVB version of "The Condor". Hong Kong people's shallow understanding of history is completely incapable of understanding this aspect. The villain Yang Kang played by Michael Miu has enough looks, but he does not have the momentum of a young prince.
One of the outstanding features of Hong Kong directors' filming is that they are fast and can almost pass. Less than half an hour into the two scenes, Ju Jueliang's assistant Peter came over and said, "Brother Li, it's almost done."
"OK!"
After spending a long time with Hong Kong people, Li Tang sometimes subconsciously comes up with a few words in English.
This scene was filmed in the lobby of Guiyun Village, with a total of three camera positions surrounding it and tracks on the ground. Zhou Xun and Li Yapeng, who had already completed two scenes, were whispering to each other. There is no way for a large-scale TV series like "The Condor". As the male and female protagonists have a very large amount of lines, it is obviously impossible to memorize all the lines in advance, so I can only improvise and memorize the next one as soon as a scene is finished. The lines of the scene.
Wulan Baoyin, the executive director in charge of on-site command, was directing the group performances. When he saw Li Tang walking in, he hurriedly said: "Xiao Li, is it okay?"
"Well, don't worry, senior brother!"
Wu Lanbaoyin was originally the executive director of "Swordsman", and he also graduated from theater. At first he worked as an actor and had no filming, then he went to Hong Kong and as an executive director, he filmed two "New" starring Li Lianli Fang Shiyu" and "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" two movies.
Later, after returning to the CCTV TV Drama Production Center, he worked with Zhang Dabeard. He was the executive director of "Swordsman" and "The Passionate Years". Even if the chief director is replaced this time, his status as executive director on the crew is still as stable as Mount Tai.
"Old Liu!" Wulan Baoyin shouted again.
"coming."
A bearded man hurried over. This was Duan Tiande, the follower who played Yang Kang.
Although this character was not mentioned much in the original work, it is the same in the play now. He has only a small role, but it has a significant relationship with the main plot.
Because he was the one assigned by Wanyan Honglie to raid Niujia Village and kill Guo Jing's father, Guo Xiaotian. So much so that Guo Jing never forgot that his father-killing enemy was Duan Tiande.
And the fate of this character is also very interesting. When Guo Jing was about to kill him to avenge his father, Yang Kang suddenly jumped up and crushed his skull with a palm. Then he cried bitterly with Guo Jing and became sworn brothers.
From killing people and silencing them to revealing his true feelings when he remembered his life experience, it fully demonstrated Yang Kang's complex and contradictory character.
"Teacher Liu, please take care of me!"
Li Tang saw this person and said hello.
Although this person only plays a small role, he is the leader of the actor troupe of Inner Mongolia Film Studio. In fact, everyone is familiar with him, he is the one who played the Tenth Master in "Yongzheng Dynasty".
Again, to get involved in the Mainland entertainment industry, you not only need to look at the celebrity position, but also the connections, the company, and even more importantly, the level. They are well-established within the system.
This time he was brought in by Ulan Baoyin. In addition to his cameo role as Duan Tiande, many people were pulled away due to Wang Rui's withdrawal. Lao Liu also had to assist Ulan Baoyin as the deputy director. Otherwise, it would be okay if the directing team was all surrounded by Hong Kong people. Zhang Dabeard, who has always been good at fighting, knows how to check and balance each other.
"Xiao Li, you're welcome. Just go ahead and act, and I will cooperate."
Veteran actors, especially those who have been playing supporting roles for a long time, are very aware of the green leaves. They will not be abrupt or steal the scene. Everything is to enhance the existence of the protagonist.
Everyone first took their positions at the scene, and then adjusted the lights and camera positions. When everything was ready, Li Tang, Lao Liu, and the actors who played Lu Guanying exited the hall first.
"OK, Ready..."
"Action!"
First, a shot of the house:
Lu Chengfeng, played by Wu Lan Baoyin, sat on the couch and ordered his maid to bring a calligraphy scroll from his collection to Zhou Xun and Li Yapeng, and said to Zhou Xun artfully: "The calligraphy of this dynasty is known as Su Huang Mi Cai also said, "I wonder which restaurant Huang's favorite is?"
At this time, Lu Guanying's voice came from outside: "It's harder to escape after entering Guiyun Villa than to climb to heaven!"
Zhou Xun suddenly jumped up.
Just as she was sitting and about to answer, the door to the hall was suddenly knocked open and a figure fell in.
When he was just walking out, Lao Liu was pushed by someone and then staggered in. At this time, he changed his acting method and felt that falling in was more appropriate.
I saw him fall in the middle of the hall. Fortunately, the hall was covered with thick carpets and he was not injured. Instead, he raised his head and looked around in confusion, which added a bit of joy.
Ju Jueliang, who was staring at the monitor screen, couldn't help but nodded. The effect of this temporary change was much better than the original design.
At this time, Li Yapeng saw his face and recognized his father-killing enemy Duan Tiande at a glance. According to the description in the script, he should be extremely jealous. Huo stood up and was about to have a fit, but was pressed down by Zhou Xun In order to conceal my identity, I can only endure this tone temporarily.
This performance is easy to say, but not easy to perform. You have to show that you are jealous when you see your enemy, but you must not be too intense to avoid being noticed.
The best way is to advance the camera and then let the actors show their emotions through their eyes.
But when Ju Jueliang saw in the monitor screen that Li Yapeng suddenly raised his buttocks and opened his mouth, there was no movement, no clear changes in his eyes, and at most he just frowned, he couldn't help but shook his head, and was about to shout He stopped, but saw Zhou Xun holding him down in time, giving him a look calmly, signaling him not to act rashly.
Ju Jueliang didn't scream. He was used to filming TVB dramas and he knew the work efficiency well. When editing this section in the future, he only needs to cut out the close-up of Li Yasheng, only keep the mid-range shot, and then highlight the close-up of Zhou Xun. This shot It still works, but the original focus has shifted from Guo Jing to Huang Rong.
Immediately, the camera turned, and Li Tangyue, dressed in a dark yellow robe, emerged from the crowd. He quickly took a look at the situation in the room, the expression on his face quickly calmed down from nervousness, and his hands were naturally placed behind his back, and His stance was very interesting. He spread his legs about a foot apart. He did not rush forward in a hurry. Instead, he leaned forward slightly and stared at Wulan Baoyin sitting on the couch in the center of the room. Before he spoke, a look of emotion appeared on his face. A sneer appeared.
After sneering, just as Li Tang started to reprimand, he suddenly heard Ju Jueliang shout: "Cut!"
Second update!
