1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 22 Shooting of the first scene, Soul Painter is online!
It is worth mentioning that the "youth memory" in all classic youth movies often appears together with the "age memory".

"A Brighter Summer Day" tells the story of Taiwan Province in the 48th year of the Republic of China. A boy used a knife to break through an era of total martial law.

"Beautiful Legend of Sicily" takes place in Italy during World War II, a boy peers into the temptation and destruction of a goddess, just like this messy land.

"Once Upon a Time in America" ​​tells the story of how the American dream of a group of boys and a girl was shattered in the United States during the prohibition period.

The Four Hundred Blows tells the story of Paris in the late 50s, where 13-year-old Antoine ended his childhood at the mercy of others.

And "Sunny Day" is a movie adapted from Wang Shuo's novel "Ferocious Animals". It tells the story of Yanjing in the 70s in Huaguo. Between the sunshine and the red flags everywhere, the story of spending my youth.

9 pm.

The crew of "Sunny Day" is preparing to start filming the first scene. This scene is actually very simple, just fighting, and the key is to bully the small with the big.

The plot is not complicated. A group of boys are taking a bath in the bathhouse. Suddenly, a girl breaks in and moleses the boys. Then a boy named Yang Gou speaks rudely to Bei Bei and is beaten by the "Kid King" Liu Yi. A slap.

And this girl played by Yu Beibei is none other than the female No. [-] Tao Hong.

What I have to say is that Jiang Wen, who has always shown himself as a tough guy, is somewhat perverted in his bones. He always likes to let actresses not wear underwear or show their breasts in their movies.

Tao Hong, who was filming for the first time, was the first actress to be "persecuted" by Jiang Wen.

After hearing the assistant director tell her about tonight's scene, Tao Hong was shocked immediately, feeling that the scale of the bathhouse scene was too big, so she backed down and ran to confess to Jiang Wen, saying that she didn't want to She couldn't accept this kind of scene.

Facing the determined Taohong, Jiang Wen really had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, let Taohong wear a white shirt, but still told her not to wear underwear inside.

Tao Hong still couldn't accept it, so she asked the director Jiang Wen to wear a white vest underneath to prevent it from being exposed as much as possible.

To appease Tao Hong's emotions, Jiang Wen took out the manuscript of the storyboard that he had drawn, carefully read and reviewed it, and then told every actor present about the play.

As we all know, the storyboard script plays a vital role in the presentation of a movie.

The storyboard script is an essential preparation for directors to create a film. The role of the storyboard script is like the blueprint of a building. It is the basis for photographers to shoot and editors for post-production. It is also the basis for actors and all creative personnel to understand the director’s intentions. Understand the content of the script and the basis for re-creation.

For the director, the storyboard script is equivalent to the director's simulation exercise before going into battle. It will be constantly revised, adjusted, deduced and perfected in his mind, and then finally presented.

In other words, the storyboard manuscripts drawn by each director are different. For example, director Xu Ke of Xiangjiang, his storyboard manuscripts are of a high standard and have a comic style.

However, many times the storyboard manuscripts of great directors.It's just a large-scale outline of the scene and plot content, but Xu Ke's storyboard script, he will show the expressions of the characters and the intensity of the characters' rivalry.

If it is said that Mr. Xu's storyboard manuscript has the unrestrained and unrestrained line beauty of a cartoonist, then Feng Xiaogang's manuscript is like the artistic beauty of a finished oil painting.

As for Lao Mouzi's storyboard manuscript, it can be said that the drawing is very "regular", meticulous and cautious.

Lao Mouzi's storyboard manuscript is very particular, it does not have the casualness of a master with a big stroke of a pen, but it is more cautious about the movie, especially in the description and production of each scene, there will be corresponding annotations .

Jiang Wen, who is in stark contrast to other directors, is an out-and-out soul painter. The storyboard manuscripts of other great directors are full of details, while Jiang Wen's stickman manuscripts are unique in style and come with passwords, which is unimaginable , The final film will be so sharp.

And Liu Yiku, played by Jiang Xiaofeng, in today's scene, has to slap a kid who talks nonsense.

Although this scene was not a scene filmed by Jiang Xiaofeng, because when he was in Shaolin Temple, he had run through the tricks, but today's bathhouse scene made Jiang Xiaofeng truly experience what is called "torture of acting".

Before the filming started, a large group of young men, including Jiang Xiaofeng and Xia Yu, were asked by the assistant director to take off their clothes.

Jiang Xiaofeng was afraid that his dick was too big, and if he showed it, it would frighten everyone, so he wanted to discuss with the director if he could not take it off, or wear underwear or something.

While hesitating, Jiang Wen yelled, "Are the children ready?" and walked in.

Seeing a big name like director Jiang Wen staggering out wearing only a pair of shorts, without any burden of being an idol, Jiang Xiaofeng also went all out.

But next, Jiang Wen asked Jiang Xiaofeng to slap a child, but he couldn't do it anyway.

Because playing the role of a sheep, the kid's height just reached his shoulders.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaofeng is just pointing to the end, just scratching the surface.

Jiang Wen on the side was not satisfied, so he continued to shoot.

One, two, three...

Until the eighth shot, Jiang Xiaofeng was still a little light-hearted.

"If you don't fight anymore, we will keep coming and fanning until dawn."

Jiang Wen was a little annoyed, he told Jiang Xiaofeng to hurry up, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

So, for the last time, Jiang Xiaofeng finally gritted his teeth and rounded his arms.

"Snapped!"

After a crisp applause, the crew fell silent for an instant.

After filming this scene, Jiang Xiaofeng felt relieved.

But in fact, this is the beginning of the "nightmare".

The other scenes that followed were filmed more often than this one.

Basically, you have to take more than 20 shots for each scene to barely pass.

In the end, Jiang Xiaofeng and everyone else found a pattern, and passed it without thinking about anything. If there were more than 10, everyone was looking forward to 15.

After 15 items, they all shouted to persevere, and five or six items were passed.

However, because Jiang Wen's requirements were too strict, the actors were drenched under the faucet for three days and three nights when filming the two or three minute scenes in the bathhouse.

In the end, several young men, including Jiang Xiaofeng and Xia Yu, almost vomited after taking a bath.

Especially Xia Yu, who was so soaked that his skin peeled off and his hands and feet were blistered.

After filming the scene in the bathhouse, Xia Yu instantly felt a sense of relief, and complained to Jiang Xiaofeng beside him: "Brother Feng, I'm really afraid of taking a bath these days, and I don't want to take a bath for a week."

Jiang Xiaofeng felt the same way, and sighed: "Who said it wasn't!"

Like Jiang Xiaofeng and Xia Yu, as a director, Jiang Wen also gradually found his confidence in the bathroom scene.

However, among several young actors, what Jiang Wen was most satisfied with was not Jiang Xiaofeng who played the second male lead Liu Yiku, nor Xia Yu who played the first male lead Ma Xiaojun, but Tao Hong who wanted to quit the crew from the beginning.

In fact, it was a bit difficult for Tao Hong when he first started filming.

Because Taohong grew up in a closed training environment since she was a child, and she hardly had contact with boys.

In addition, Taohong was very reluctant to let go at the beginning, she had a lot of worries, and she didn't have any acting experience. Jiang Wen didn't have much hope for her acting skills at first.

Unexpectedly, after the filming started, the little girl showed no stage fright and acted very naturally, Jiang Wen couldn't help but admire her.
