China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 10 The big official was abused in the Lion House, Cao Xuan returned to the capital with his friends
Xinwu Film and Television Base, Water Margin City, Zishi Street Lion Tower
Eighth Yuan and Kang Honglei were making the final arrangements, while Ding Haifeng and Cao Xuan were listening.

As a result, I saw Wang Siyi carrying a small bench, sitting down behind the camera, and then pulling out a bag of melon seeds from nowhere, with her legs crossed, "I came to see the fun" written all over her face.

This girl is here for revenge!

Two days ago, the crew filmed "Wusong Kills Sister-in-law", Wu Song's steel knife rested on Pan Jinlian's neck, and Cao Xuan was watching the play happily holding red dates tea.

At that time, Wang Siyi almost didn't get mad at the time. It was a waste of time for us to have a good relationship in the play. How could you do that?

So, when filming [Fighting Ximen Qing], Wang Siyi came to the scene with a bench and snacks to see how Cao Xuan was "beaten".

Cao Xuan really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he didn't care about her, he followed Yuan Ba ​​Ye to the right position again and officially started filming.

Speaking of martial arts action scenes, the audience seems to be smooth and neat, but in fact they are all edited in the later stage. When the actors are actually filming, the process is extremely boring and trivial.

For example, Ximen Qing slashed and slashed with a knife, Wu Song dodged sideways, first punched his chest twice, a roundabout kick kicked him, Ximen Qing fell to the ground and smashed a table.

The finished action takes only two or three seconds. It is divided into five or six shots at least. There are several backups of the special table alone.

Of course, this is for ordinary actors. If you have professional action actors with martial arts skills, you can just do the tricks directly, which saves a lot of trouble.

Cao Xuan has no kung fu foundation. Although Ding Haifeng has trained before, he is also a monk halfway through, so he can only use stupid methods.

.........

[Fighting and Killing Ximen Qing] This scene is actually described very simply in the original work.

After Wu Song killed Pan Jinlian, he put his head in a food box and gave Ximen Qing who was drinking at the Lion House. He frightened him first, and then shot Ximen Qing to death.

During the period, Ximen Qing's only bright spot was that he kicked Wu Song's knife away at the beginning while Wu Song was unprepared.

And it was this point that made Ximen Qing misjudgment, thinking that Wu Song was not worthy of his name, and the high-ranking official who wanted to escape, his brain was hot, and he raised his fist to resist.

As a result, Wu Song was completely angered.

Wu Song, who could kill a giant worm with his bare hands, lifted Ximen Qing up in two or three strokes and threw him down the stairs.

The whole process was like squeezing a chicken to death.

However, filming a TV series must not be like the original, after all, it is the main event.

Moreover, after the previous plot, the audience hated Ximen Qing so much that they had accumulated a certain amount of anger. At this time, it was too simple to let him die, which was a bit anticlimactic.

Therefore, it is necessary to use Wu Song's metaphor to beat Ximen Qing violently, and he must fight beautifully and wonderfully. When Ximen Qing is fighting, he will cry his father and mother, and the audience will be relieved.

Yuan Ba ​​Ye set the tone for this scene to be one-sided.

In addition to the sneak attack by Ximen Qing throwing a wine glass at the beginning, he kicked the knife in Wu Song's hand according to the original book, and then was unilaterally crushed and beaten by Wu Song.

The fight between the two was more like Wu Song deliberately let out a few bad breaths before killing Ximen Qing.

During this period, Ximen Qing fought hard to survive, but was helpless and could only be beaten to death by Wu Song in horror.

Substituting into the perspective of ordinary audiences, this plot is just a word overview——

Cool!
Speaking of this, I still want to @"New Water Margin".

In fact, Cao Xuan personally has a good impression of this drama, and it is even his favorite of the four new editions of the famous novels.

However, Cao Xuan was still brooding about the scene where he fought and killed Ximen Qing in "New Water Margin".

Ximen Qing actually fought with Wu Song for half a catty, even more powerful than Wu Song in the early stage. Not only did he know how to ward off demons, but he also chased Wu Song with a knife and beat Wu Song to the point of defeat. Wu Song was also injured.

And Ximen Qing also said boldly: "Wudu head, let's stop here, if you force me again, don't blame me for being ruthless under the knife."

Can you believe that Ximen Qing took the initiative to release water against Wu Song?

It is no exaggeration to say that just watching this paragraph, if Ximen Qing can go to Liangshan, it will be no problem to rank to Tiangang.

The audience even thought that Ximen Qing could achieve a counter-kill.

But He Wusong has the halo of the protagonist, and he will burst into the blood of Dafa, and finally kill Ximen Qing.

CCTV "Water Margin" fought Ximen Qing for a little more than 2 minutes. Wu Song "tortured" Ximen Qing, and the audience watched it heartily.

"New Water Margin" Ximen Qing and Wu Song fought for more than 7 minutes. Wu Song "counter-killed" Ximen Qing, and the audience's blood pressure soared.

Just because of this paragraph, "The New Water Margin" has been praised a lot, but Wu Song has been ridiculed by the group all the time, which has become the failure of the whole drama.

Don't look at Cao Xuan's role as Ximen Qing, but he doesn't protect his shortcomings.

If let him choose, he would rather be beaten than have a relationship with Wu Song.

What kind of person is Ximen Qing? He is a prodigal boy who has just mastered fists and kicks. He can fight Wu Song, who is known as the first in the "Water Margin", for [-] rounds.

An adaptation that violates the nature of the character, or the excessive pursuit of martial arts effects regardless of the head, even if there are more scenes, it is meaningless.

Fortunately, CCTV's "Water Margin" follows the original, with slight changes, all within the character framework.

At least, Ximen Qing played by Cao Xuan is like this...

Because of this, Cao Xuan was kicked by Ding Haifeng and turned somersaults on the ground.

Kang Honglei almost thought that Cao Xuan had awakened some amazing attributes.

The scene of Lion Tower was filmed for a day and a half. Cao Xuan didn't use a stand-in for the whole process and went into battle in person, but Ding Haifeng used a stand-in twice because of the more difficult movements.

Yuan Ba ​​Ye admires Cao Xuan, who is handsome and willing to endure hardships, but probably because of Cao Xuan's poor kung fu foundation, he doesn't mean to throw an olive branch.

Cao Xuan was very disappointed. He still wondered if he could hold the Eighth Master's thigh and go to Hollywood for a walk.

After the filming of Lion Tower, Cao Xuan's scenes in the "Water Margin" crew were basically finished, and there were only a few reshoots left, which could be done in three or four days.

Before that, Li Mingqi had already finished and left. Before the old lady left, she specially left Cao Xuan her address and phone number, and asked Cao Xuan to visit her house when he returned to the capital.

Wang Siyi's scenes were basically finished, but this girl was having fun in the crew and was reluctant to leave, and she also depended on the crew of "Water Margin" every day after it was finished.

Cao Xuan was actually a little reluctant to part with his new friends from the "Water Margin" crew.

1997年5月2日，43岁的布莱尔就任英国新首相，成为英国1812年以来最年轻的首相。

On the same day, Cao Xuan also ended his career in the "Water Margin" crew. At the killing banquet led by Zang Jinsheng, Cao Xuan defeated several Liangshan heroes.

On May 5, Cao Xuan said goodbye to everyone and set foot on the train back to Beijing.
