China Entertainment's turbulent era

Chapter 25

A nation without heroes is not unhappy.

Unhappy is the nation that needs heroes.

—Bertolt Brecht, Biography of Galileo.

Bang bang bang bang.

The rhythmic sound of the green leather car made Shen Fang feel very familiar.

According to the original plan, Shen Fang went south by train to return to the crew of "The Condor".

I have already talked with Director Yu Min on the phone, and the filming of "Sculpture of the Gods" is going well so far, and now there is only the last big scene left to fight against Xiangyang.

This is good, he Shen Fang can get many roles.

However, until he left the capital, Shen Fang didn't figure out what a Brechtian film was.

Although he had Jiang Wen's phone number, he didn't call.

Inexplicably, Shen Fang felt that if he asked Jiang Wen this question, he might get the answer, but it was also very possible that he would look smug and continue to play tricks.

So, Shen Fang decided to figure this out by himself.

He first went to several bookstores in the capital, looking for Brecht's works on the one hand, and buying some review materials on the other hand, he had to take the college entrance examination again.

It may be that the bookstore Shen Fang went to was not right, as there were very few works by Brecht.

Thinking about it, there must be many libraries in China Opera or Beijing Film Academy, but right now he is not a student of these two schools.

Among the few Brecht works he found, Shen Fang chose this "Biography of Galileo".

He was just curious, why would a master of drama write such a literary work that looks like a biography?

But soon, Shen Fang realized that he was wrong.

The "Biography of Galileo" itself is a play, and Brecht listed the list of characters at the beginning, which is the most obvious sign of the play.

The story of this script is very clear from the beginning.

Galileo wanted to prove Copernicus' heliocentric theory.

However, Shen Fang was very sure that it was definitely not that simple.

Until he saw these two sentences.

A country without heroes, then, probably means that the country does not need heroes.

So, such a country is likely to be good.

A nation in need of heroes is a sign that something tragic is happening in that nation.On the contrary, it is unfortunate, yes, it is true.

These two sentences are not difficult to understand on the surface, but Shen Fang can clearly feel that the understanding of these two sentences cannot be superficial.

Shen Fang felt inexplicably, is this implying the beauty of the country?

They are overrun with superheroes.

Although Brecht was a communist, probably he would not have such thoughts.

"Melon seeds, instant noodles, mineral water..."

"Mom, I want, I want...Wow! Woooo..."

"Oh! Why are you crying? You are a worry-free thing!"

The train was very noisy, and Shen Fang wanted to read a book, but he couldn't read it.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still can't figure out the problem.

The system of Brecht, the master of drama, seems really hard to understand.

Shen Fang had no choice but to close the book with a smile, listening to the noise of the car, and watching the receding scenery outside the car window.

feel life.

……

Half a month later, Oak Mountain Film and Television City.

"Let me tell you! People from the TV station are coming today, and they are going to do a live broadcast!"

"Everyone cheer up!"

"If you have a TV station, you may be able to show your face on TV!"

"Sculpture of the Gods" has now reached the final juncture, and it's time to battle Xiangyang.

This scene can be said to be the top priority of the entire TV series.

Originally, the crew of "Sculpture of the Gods" was divided into three groups, but when it came to this scene, the three groups converged in one place.

Xiangyang City, which is the current main gate of Oak Mountain Film and Television City, is now surrounded by a long blue curtain.

Those who are knowledgeable will understand at a glance that this is definitely a big deal, leaving enough room for future computer special effects.

And the process of filming was really hard.

Director Yu Min uses a loudspeaker every day, and the whole crew runs around.

Now there are a lot of group performances to be used, and the fight between the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongolian soldiers requires a lot of people.

In addition, it is necessary to create a scene of siege.

To make a lot of explosions.

Most of the ensemble performers are ordinary people near Hengdian and Oak Mountain. Everyone just comes to the crew to have a box lunch and get a salary.

When the explosion started, the rumbling sound was deafening, the flames soared into the sky, and the thick smoke scattered in all directions, which was even more frightening.

Where have most of the extras seen such a battle?

Song soldiers and Mongolian soldiers did not fight yet, so both sides lost their helmets and armor.

In this way, Yu Min's yellow hair lost its former splendor, and his face turned into black charcoal like Zhang Fei. Fortunately, this skin color covered the corners of his mouth.

It's full of fire bubbles.

Fortunately, good news came today.

A TV station came to our crew to broadcast live.

The two channels below Zhejiang TV, Economics and Education, may not be particularly good channels, but they are at least TV stations.

Many ensemble performers are excited, everyone thinks that it is possible to appear on TV!

The whole crew is full of vitality again.

When Director Yu Min saw this situation, he was also a little happy.

Although the filming process was very hard, but the progress is still good, and now there is a TV station doing live broadcast, so let's just do it.

"Let's shoot that today."

"what?"

"That's right, Jinlun Fawang captured Guo Xiang, blackmailed Huang Rong and his wife, and then the knights from all walks of life rushed out of Xiangyang City together!"

"This last big show?"

"What, can't you?"

"It seems to be okay."

When the three groups met, Yu Min held a meeting with the directors of the other two groups, and everyone finally decided to shoot this final key shot.

Show it to the TV station, don't let them come in vain.

……

Yu~~
After more than ten days of filming, Guo Jing, the defender of Xiangyang, has always had a young general who is very active.

He is Shen Fang!
At this moment, Shen Fang was wearing armor, with a green-maned horse under his crotch, coming and going like the wind.

Pulling the reins, the green-maned horse raised its front hooves high.

The end is handsome and beautiful, envious of others.

"Shen Fang, you're good at equestrian skills!"

The one who spoke was Huang Rong. She was also wearing a suit of armor now, but it only highlighted her status as a general, and she was much more gorgeous.

"Sister Lin, I came from the countryside, and I liked riding horses since I was a child. Back then, the animals in the village, such as big fat pigs and big yellow dogs, were all humiliated by me."

"You are amazing!" Huang Rong couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard what he said was interesting.

Shen Fang really wasn't lying, it's just that his equestrian skills weren't just from the countryside.

Special actors may not be very good at acting, but they must master many skills, especially male special actors.

It's like in the later traffic era when the filmmakers were feeding shit to the audience crazily. If the protagonist can't do it, the special contract must be able to do it.

In many puppet shows, the protagonist rides a fake horse, but the special guests around him have to ride real horses.

Shen Fang got a lot of acting opportunities because of his good equestrian skills.

The Huang Rong he was chatting with now had some small problems.

"I'm really not good at riding a horse."

"Isn't it? Sister Lin, haven't you filmed a lot of costume dramas?"

Shen Fang was really curious.

Huang Rong in this version of "Sculpture of the Gods", also known as Sister Lin, is the master of the palace inviting the moon, and later contributed a famous scene.

I treat you like a best friend, but you pick on my son!
Rabbits still don't eat grass at the edge of the nest!
This can be regarded as a personal grievance between Fairy Jinghong and Palace Master Yaoyue.

But to Shen Fang's surprise, Palace Master Yaoyue has filmed a lot of costume dramas, isn't she good at riding horses?
"This, this..." Judging by her expression, it probably doesn't sound like a lie.

Shen Fang had no choice but to get off the horse first, and then give a good talk.

"Actually, it's nothing. The filming will start soon. If it's not possible, sister Lin, just remember to buckle the saddle tightly, hold the rein firmly, and clamp your legs tightly. Clamp with the utmost strength. But don't kick it with your heel, or it will go faster."

Shen Fang is purely equestrian teaching for lazy people, and the next scene is that the heroes rush out of the Xiangyang city gate to rescue Guo Xiang.

"Yeah!" Huang Rong nodded, still a little guilty.

Fortunately, Shen Fang played the young general next to Guo Jing and Huang Rong, so he just patted his chest.

"Sister Lin, don't worry, I'm here."

"Yep!"

Huang Rong was still a little guilty, but after so many days, Shen Fang was still a reassuring young man.

At this moment, a gust of fragrant wind blew.

"Sister, you must pay attention to safety for a while."

"Good sister, don't worry, I understand."

"Those horses seem to be very difficult to control."

"You don't ride anyway."

The two beauties who came over were all dressed in red, they were the two sisters Guo Fu and Guo Xiang.

Although the girl Xiaomi was talking to Chen Zihan, her beautiful eyes glanced at Shen Fang from time to time, but there was anger in her eyes.

Shen Fang didn't understand what the girl meant, so he scratched his head.

In other words, Xiaomi is in the film crew and has a very good relationship with Chen Zihan. The relatives came again two days ago, but this visit was a bit severe, and Xiaomi was in pain.

Thanks to Sister Chen's help, I survived.

As for this matter, the girl Xiaomi couldn't help but look for something wrong with Shen Fang.

It must be because of this villain!

Shen Fang really didn't understand how he offended this girl. Fortunately, the TV station over there is ready, and our scene is about to begin.

……

"Friends from the audience! What I bring to you today is the filming scene of the crew of "The Legend of Condor Heroes"..."

The people in this TV station are also quite capable of dealing with it. They set up a broken wooden platform, and the host began to talk on it.

Naturally, there was a lot of nonsense, and the camera was still facing the filming situation there.

"Daddy! Mother! Xiang'er is not afraid!"

The girl had already been tied to the high platform, and Jinlun Fawang was on the side, laughing wildly.

This scene is not in the book, it is entirely the screenwriter's personal play.

Under the high platform, many Mongolian soldiers were on standby.

A little further away are the two Condor Heroes.

It's just that it's quite pleasant not to see their play now.

"There will be chaos for a while, you can pay attention to safety."

"Well, I understand."

Liu Yifei is wearing a pink dress at the moment. She feels that this costume is not as good as the pure white one before.

But there is no way, I can't always wear that.

He listened to his mother's words, but his eyes looked at the city gate.

Among the heroes of the rivers and lakes over there, there is a young general.

"Start!" Yu Min issued an order through the loudspeaker.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong rushed out with Guo Fu, Wu Dunru and Master Yideng.

Shen Fang is naturally among them, but he can't steal the limelight from the main character.

But at this moment, there was a boom!
This is not a simple horse ride, there are explosions waiting for them.

Everything was fine at first, but suddenly, Huang Rong let out a scream.

"Ah!"

Her horse lost control and went straight in one direction.

For a moment, everyone panicked.

How to do?
"I'm going to save people!"

Suddenly, a young general rode out and gave chase.

Is it not Shen Fang or who will come?

But something even more unexpected happened.

"I am coming too!"

By the time Aunt Liu realized it was too late, Liu Yifei had already mounted the horse and chased after her!
