Huayu since 1980

Chapter 422 Shooting is difficult (daily update in case, please subscribe~)

Wuxia is the myth of adult men!

It is an enviable way of life to be happy and enmity, fighting with swords. Every man has imagined such a picture, hoping that he can become the protagonist in martial arts, with a free and easy life, and a wanton flying attitude.

But at this time, "New Dragon Inn" gave martial arts another way. If there are martial arts masters in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the 70s and [-]s, then there must be Jin Yong and Gu Long!

Jin Yong redefines martial arts, for the country and the people, Fang is the greatest chivalrous man!
Gu Long's martial arts, but more pure, treacherous rivers and lakes, strange characters, especially the women in Gu Long's works, have always had a unique style, which makes people unforgettable.

And "New Dragon Inn" takes into account the characteristics of the two, Zhou Huai'an, for the country and the people, a great chivalrous man, Mo Yan, who understands righteousness, loves to hide his heart, gold inlaid with jade, domineering, and has a variety of styles.

Finally, sublimate the theme and face Cao Shaoqin, who has brought disaster to the country and the people!
As for the movie "New Dragon Inn", the most important scene is the final desert battle.

The desert war is called a monument in the history of martial arts by later generations, and it has become a classic in the hearts of countless people, not only because of how exciting the four-player battle designed by Cheng Xiaodong is.

It was also because of a character who suddenly appeared in this duel, Diao Buyu!
At the time of life and death, Diao Buyu suddenly appeared, and with one hand Paoding Xie Niu scraped the flesh on Cao Shaoqin's legs and hands, and saw bones!
In the past martial arts, this kind of thing has never happened. It seems that small characters can only be embellishments in martial arts movies or novels forever, and never become the protagonists.

Even at this time, in the traditional routine of exterminating the family and revenge, the only survivors will always be the legitimate sons of the family, and then hide their names, and finally avenge the family!

The existence of little people is just to exaggerate a more tragic atmosphere.

But this time "New Dragon Inn" is different, and the little character is not met, which becomes the key.

In Wu Jianye's memory, even decades later, in the era of rampant Internet literature, such as retiring marriages, it is always the eldest son of a declining family, or the bastard son of a big family, who will receive this treatment. Or in other genres, the protagonist will always have a very heaven-defying background.

It's not that it's bad, it's just that after a long time, it will always make readers and audiences feel tired.

In this regard, among the novels that Su Xian has read, the best anti-routine description is the tricky "Ever Night"!
The General's Mansion was destroyed, and a child escaped. Relying on his diligence and intelligence, he counterattacked step by step and became an indispensable talent for the empire. Everyone was guessing that he should be the surviving little son of the General's Mansion. .

Even at the end, in order to appease Ning Que, the emperor divided up all the people in the General's Mansion, but no one ever thought that Ning Que was actually just the son of the general's concierge. Impossible little people left behind.

In the battle between Ning Que and the great general Xiahou, His Majesty the Emperor issued several imperial edicts, how could it matter?The enfeoffment is only from the general's mansion, so what does it have to do with Ning Que?
To make a digression, although the adaptation of fantasy IP has become a trend in later generations, there are very few real masterpieces. Most of what Wu Jianye reads is insulting the IQ of the readers of the original work, but there are always exceptions. The adaptation of the two works "Jian Ye" and "Celebrating More Than Years" really makes people feel that someone is still doing things seriously.

Speaking of today's shooting, everyone knows that this scene is the most critical scene in the whole play. From Wu Jianye's increasingly irritable temper in the past two days, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to this scene.

Before the shooting started, Cheng Xiaodong had brought all the actors, designed many scenes, and rehearsed several times, but the rehearsal was not the real shooting after all.

There will still be problems.

Cheng Xiaodong looked at Wu Jianye with some difficulty in making a choice: "Director Wu, is Mo Yan really going to die in this scene?"

Cheng Xiaodong had already read the script when the filming started, but Cheng Xiaodong had always had his own thoughts on Mo Yan's death.

"If Mo Yan dies, how can we make a sequel to "New Dragon Inn" without a leading role?"

Long before the filming started, Wu Jianye had told Cheng Xiaodong that he would make "New Dragon Inn" into a series, otherwise he would not have included the battle between the temple and the East Factory and West Factory in the movie. There was a fight.

But as the lead actress in the first film, Mo Yan's death will obviously have a huge impact on the filming of the sequel.

Regarding Mo Yan's death, Cheng Xiaodong is actually very entangled. The touching part of this scene is that before Mo Yan died for Zhou Huai'an, the two poured out their love to each other, which can earn the audience's tears.

Cheng Xiaodong was reluctant to let Mo Yan "die", but worried that if Mo Yan did not "die", the scene would not be touching.

So at this time Cheng Xiaodong was very entangled.

Wu Jianye naturally understood Cheng Xiaodong's entanglement, just like the "True Colors of Heroes" filmed before, in Fengge Entertainment's "True Heroes" trilogy, the first and third prequels are The two movies with the best box office and word-of-mouth in the whole series, and the second one, Xiao Ma is replaced by Ajian. Although it is still Xiao Ma's style, everyone still prefers Xiao Ma.

"Mo Yan is just the heroine of this movie. When the sequel is filmed, new characters will definitely appear. The movie "New Dragon Inn" will adopt the same narrative method as "The True Colors of Heroes". The third prequel!"

In fact, the narrative method of this kind of film series is more filmed according to the normal flow of time in Xiangjiang. The real prequel and fire is the "Infernal Affairs" series, which was later rescued by Xiangjiang Films.

"As for Mo Yan's death, it's better to let Liang Jiahui express his opinion." Wu Jianye suddenly named Liang Jiahui who was listening to the play.

However, Liang Jiahui didn't refuse. He smiled and said, "Of course I'm going to die, because only Mo Yan's death can better point out the main line of this movie, and at the same time, it can make the movie more touching and resonate with the audience!"

Cheng Xiaodong naturally knew what the best choice was, but it was just because he had poured his feelings into "New Dragon Inn", especially Mo Yan in it. He just didn't want this character to die from his personal feelings.

"Okay, everyone is ready to shoot!" Wu Jianye gave an order.

Everyone was ready to shoot, and the next scene was the scene where Zhou Huaian, Mo Yan, Jin Xiangyu, and Cao Shaoqin were buried alive in the desert.

In order to avoid the pain of being buried alive, a box was actually placed under the four of them to sit and shoot the scene. He Qing has the skills of Kunqu Opera, and when he saw the box, he immediately spread his legs and took a steady step. Sitting down, this posture is actually the most correct. As for Liang Jiahui and Zhang Manyu, they didn't think of this, they just sat down casually.

As a result, when the yellow sand just buried the calf, I felt uncomfortable. When the yellow sand passed the buttocks, it became even more uncomfortable. I couldn't help but swayed from side to side. At this time, the filming has not officially started, and I have to wait until it reaches the waist. meeting.

But I still have to lament their professionalism. Although they felt uncomfortable, they still insisted on filming this scene, and waited until the staff fished them out.

Zhang Manyu dressed rough and said, "It's been hard work!"

Liang Jiahui also had a look of pain: "I will never make costume dramas again!"

Because of his solid foundation and the fact that his body had recovered a long time ago, He Qing said with a smile, "I don't feel anything? Besides, this is not the most painful thing!"

Of course, this is not the most painful thing. The most painful part of shooting this movie is the desert environment and the high-intensity shooting work.

The environmental background in the desert is harsh, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large. Coupled with dryness and other reasons, the actors have more or less suffered from some minor illnesses. Not long after He Qing was injured, Liang Jiahui also He caught a cold, but Zhang Manyu, who seemed more delicate, had never been ill.

Another thing is the windy weather here. Once He Qing and Zhang Manyu were changing clothes and preparing to shoot, when a strong wind suddenly blew outside, He Qing thought that it was still possible to shoot in such weather, so he stopped changing clothes by himself.

Zhang Manyu on the side didn't think too much about it, and continued to change clothes. As a result, when the two walked out of the big guest, there was already a wind and sand blowing outside, and only people could be vaguely seen in the wind and sand. After the wind and sand passed, the crew would Immediately start the roll call, for fear that someone will be blown away.
The same is true for the high intensity of the work. As the filming comes to an end, the intensity is also increasing, often for several days, there will be 20 hours of continuous announcements. It would be a lie to say that I am not tired. .

The longest announcement of this movie is 36 hours.
The impact of wind and sand is not limited to these. For example, in the scene just finished filming, after the four people were dragged out of the sand by the staff, they had already sucked in a big mouthful of sand, and every actor was coughing violently , At this time, someone immediately brought clean water and asked them to rinse their mouths.

He Qing immediately ran to the guest room, found cotton balls, and wanted to plug his ears and nose.

Seeing this, Wu Jianye hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?"

Because He Qing had blocked his nose, He Qing said with a strong nasal voice, "Breath the wind and sand!"

Wu Jianye said helplessly: "The wind and sand are so big, what if the cotton ball is sucked in and blocks the airway, what should you do?"

He Qing blushed, "Oh!" Then he took out the cotton balls in his ears and noses. Seeing what Wu Jianye said, other actors gave up this behavior one after another.

Then Wu Jianye began to tell these actors, "During the filming, if there is any discomfort, you must immediately remind the staff and director present, because you are the most real feelings on the scene. I don't want you to do it again because of the shooting." Injuried!"

There are both Wu Jianye's concern for these actors and his responsibility for this drama. After all, everyone is serious about filming at this time. Even if they are injured sometimes, they may not be able to feel it. There is a big difference, but enough complaints have been made, so there is no need to talk about it.

There is nothing to say about the professionalism of actors in this era.

After the confrontation scene is over, it will be Cao Shaoqin's scene of chasing and killing them.

For He Qing and Zhang Manyu, it will be another suffering. The two rolled down in the wind and sand. Only this one shot was taken six or seven times. After the shooting, the eyes of the two girls were red.

In order to allow the actors to devote themselves more fully to the filming of the movie, Wu Jianye even recruited some masseuses temporarily. After these actors finished shooting the action scenes, the masseuses would immediately massage them on the spot to relieve them. fatigue.

This also makes these masseurs the most popular group on set.

After resting for a while, the next filming, Cao Shaoqin and Mo Yan's fight, this is a running and fighting scene, which is a test of the photographer's skill, and it is also a test for the actors, although they have rehearsed before , but there were still problems in the official shooting.

"Ouch!"

He Qing couldn't help but yelled.

"Crack!"

Wu Jianye and other members of the crew surrounded him again, only to see that He Qing's nails were chipped.

"It doesn't matter!" He Qing looked down at his fingertips, which kept fiddling with them.

Li Lianjie said anxiously, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't pay attention just now."

He Qing suppressed the pain and smiled, "It's okay, Brother Jie, don't worry about it!"

At this time, the doctor from the team came over and gave He Qing a simple bandage. Wu Jianye asked, "Is it serious?"

He Qing: "It's okay, you can continue shooting!"

Surrounded by dedicated actors and staff, He Qing is already used to this kind of minor injury. When shooting this movie, He Qing feels that he has not suffered as many injuries in his life as he has suffered in the past two months.

But it is precisely because of this that He Qing is like a sponge at this time, trying to learn from these professional actors.

I believe that after the baptism of this movie, He Qing's acting career will definitely be different from another time and space.

"Okay, everyone, take a break and prepare to continue shooting later!" Wu Jianye nodded without saying anything.

After today's scene ended, everyone returned to the hotel.

"Director Cheng, Zhao Fei, everyone should hurry up and finish filming the Dunhuang scene before the new year begins!" Wu Jianye ordered.

The time has entered 1988, and the scenes in the Gobi Desert are coming to an end, and then the scenes in JYG Ancient City, but there are only a part of the scenes there, and the shooting cycle can be over in about four or five days, and then everyone can end The shooting situation here is over. As for the scenes in Beijing, there are actually not many roles, only Li Lianjie and Liang Jiahui are enough.

That is to say, Zhang Manyu and He Qing's roles in "New Dragon Inn" can be completed a few years ago!
