A few days later, the crew.
The scene on Fairy Island is almost complete, with only a few remaining scenes that need to be reshot.
Unlike when filming the scenes between Zhang Yuan and Liu Qianqian, director Wu Jingyuan is always frowning and sighing these days.
The assistant director asked him, but he couldn't explain it. He just felt something strange, as if something was not quite right.
On this day, we filmed Lin Yueru’s scene at the Lin family residence.
There are a lot of table scenes in the plot of Linzhai.
After all, the Lin family is a large and wealthy family, and they are very particular about food and clothing.
Compared to the head of the family, Lin Tiannan, the eldest lady, Lin Yueru, and the number one scholar, Liu Jinyuan, Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er are dressed much more plainly.
Especially Liu Pinyan in front of the camera, dressed in a red dress, extremely gorgeous, really looks like a horse in bright clothes, looking very youthful.
The content of this scene is that Li Xiaoyao met Lin Yueru by chance. After the two fought, Li Xiaoyao relaxed for a while and was killed by the other party.
Fortunately, Zhao Ling'er cast a spell to save her and survived.
Under the leadership of Liu Jinyuan, the number one scholar, we came to the Lin family. As the saying goes, enemies meet on a narrow road, but a good show is at hand.
This is also the place where the love between Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru, a pair of happy enemies, began.
The teacher who plays Lin Tiannan is named Jin Xin, and you can tell what is missing from his name.
He is not young, has good acting skills, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and has a standard positive male image template of the previous era.
However, it was the first time that Zhang Yuan met him, but he found that this old man seemed to glance at him often, intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhang Yuan didn't know what was going on, so he had to smile in response.
"Come on, all departments are ready." Director Wu gave the order at the scene, with a hint of irritation in his tone.
"The 19th scene of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", the fifth shot, the first time..."
"ACTION!"
In front of a table with mahogany legs and white jade surface, five actors, mainly Mr. Jin Xin who plays Lin Tiannan, are arranged on the left and right.
Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er sit on the right side, and Lin Yueru and Liu Jinyuan sit on the left side.
If we say, the character Zhao Ling'er is soft yet strong.
My love for Li Xiaoyao is very loyal. After knowing my identity as a descendant of Nuwa, I am also extremely loyal to my mission.
Once you identify your target, you will never regret it even if you die.
Beneath the fragile appearance, there is an extremely strong heart.
To put it simply, this is a very pure person...or a demon.
Lin Yueru is a person who is strong yet soft, which is exactly the opposite of Zhao Ling'er.
Smart, free and easy, rebellious...
At first, she was just a standard unruly young lady.
But in fact, she is a very sensitive and delicate girl.
Behind the appearance of a Transformer, there is a heart of a good wife and mother.
The original image of Lin Yueru in the game was wearing a long purple dress, carrying a sword on her back, looking smart and chic.
In order to suit her and Zhao Ling'er's dynamic and quiet temperament, and the icy and fiery temperament, the crew specially made Lin Yueru in the play wear a red dress.
The story of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is still the classic Chinese "red roses and white roses" routine.
However, in "The Golden Family", the character Bai Xiuzhu played by Liu Qianqian was a red rose, but in "The Fairy Sword", the character Zhao Ling'er she played became a white rose, and her personality was exactly the opposite of the character.
"Brother Xiaoyao, the matter is over, please forgive Miss Lin." Liu Qianxi sat next to Zhang Yuan and tried to persuade her like a peacemaker.
"Okay, adults don't remember the faults of villains." Zhang Yuan looked forward, not looking at Liu Pinyan who played Lin Yueru on the side. He just curled his lips, with the arrogance of a young man, and made things difficult for him. The wine glass was handed to the other party.
"Hey!" Liu Pinyan turned around and glared at Zhang Yuan, and then...
"Stuck!"
Director Wu Jingyuan scratched his head and shouted stop.
“Here we go again, that feeling of dissonance is back.”
“Where is the problem?”
Director Wu looked sad, even looking a little worried. At a loss.
“Zhang Yuan, why don’t you adjust your state and be more evil.”
"No problem." He agreed immediately.
It happened again soon, but in the same position, the director called out again.
"Liu Pinyan, please be a little more fierce."
"Ah..." Liu Pinyan looked embarrassed. She felt that she was already so fierce that her front teeth were almost sticking out.
“Stuck!”
"Stuck!"
"Stuck!"
......
Seven or eight times in a row, this very simple table scene failed.
It's okay for Zhang Yuan, he has long been used to this situation.
Seeing that Teacher Wang Lujiang, who played Liu Jinyuan, was anxious and uneasy, he opened his mouth to comfort him.
"Is it okay."
Wang Lujiang is very anxious. He has only acted in costume dramas in "A Chinese Ghost Story", and it was a guest appearance. "Sword of Fairy" is his second costume drama.
In addition, he is not an actor originally, but like Mr. He Jiong, he is a professional host.
And the director just kept calling for jams, asking everyone to constantly adjust. The uncertainty made Wang Lujiang very anxious, fearing that his poor performance would affect everyone.
"You did a good job, just keep it up, it'll be no problem." Zhang Yuan said in a low voice.
"Really?"
"Don't worry, there is a problem, but it's not your fault." Zhang Yuan had a good relationship with him, so he gave him reassurance.
Of course he knows what the specific problem is...
Looking at Liu Pinyan standing aside with a smile, she, like Teacher Wang Lujiang, pouted and felt uncomfortable, with an expression of great pressure.
Liu Qianqian was playing with her braids.
The relationship between Sissi and Liu Pinyan is particularly good, and she was the one who took the initiative to play with them.
The reason is also very simple.
Heaven, earth, finally a person smaller than me appeared in the crew, wow, kaka, kaka...
In the previous several crews, Liu Qianqian’s voice was like this every time. They are all the youngest actors on the set.
Therefore, other actors and staff treated her like a child.
Actually, she has always been unhappy about it.
This time she finally has someone younger than herself, who can be regarded as an elder!
"Sister Sissi, am I not good at acting? How should I act well?" Liu Pinyan asked with a frown.
"Hehehehe..." Sissi snickered, finally someone asked me for advice on acting!
Children only want to grow up. When they grow up, they will start to reminisce about their youth.
Director Wu, who was alone and melancholy, took out a Marlboro and smoked it. He glanced at Teacher Jin Xin and waved to him.
The director's status in the crew is indeed very high, but he is not omnipotent. Even many young directors often have to ask old actors for advice and get inspiration.
How about having an elder in a family like a treasure? Experience can sometimes save lives.
"Teacher Jin, you are experienced, can I ask you something?"
"Say." Teacher Jin was very kind.
This is an old actor from Shanghai. He has been starring in movies since 1981.
In 1994, he also starred as the male protagonist in the TV series "Debt" with an educated youth background.
When this film premiered on Shanghai TV Station in 1995, the ratings reached 42.6%.
Yes, it’s not 4.26, it’s 42.6%.
When it was rebroadcast on Dragon TV in 2008, it still won the annual ratings championship.
And this film is also the pioneer of the two-episode simulcast model for evening TV series.
Also won the Feitian Award and the Five One Project Award.
So Director Wu understands that Mr. Jin has never seen anything before, but he is an old mage. When he was the starring role, he was still taking notes at TVB.
“I always felt that there was something wrong with some of the scenes in the past two days. The actors’ performances obviously met the requirements, but they just felt weird.”
"The same applies to your scene just now."
"Do you feel this way?"
Faced with such an expert, Director Wu also told the truth without hiding anything.
Seeing that the other party was so frank, Teacher Jin replied with a smile.
"The performance of several young people is very good..." When he said this, he paused for a moment, glanced at Zhang Yuan calmly, and then spoke again. "Especially the young man named Zhang Yuan, his lines and performance are very good, especially his grasp of the characters is very mature."
"Oh..." Director Wu nodded.
When the other party said this, he also felt it.
“Indeed, he is usually a very kind and well-rounded person, but when he plays the stupid young man Li Xiaoyao, he doesn’t feel out of place at all. Teacher Jin Xin deliberately mentioned this, obviously exaggerating.
So why did he do this?
Teacher Jin is a veteran employee of Bayi Film Studio. It was also at Bayi Film Studio that he met his wife, Teacher Huang Meiying.
The same one who played the mother of the heroine in "The Golden Family", and later collaborated with Xu Shanzheng to play the embarrassing mother.
In the TV series "Debt" that I just mentioned, which had incredible ratings in Shanghai, he met Wu Jing, an actress in the same crew, and became friends.
That's the one who played the male protagonist's mother in "The Golden Family".
That day, as a good friend, Wu Jing went to Huang Meiying's house to play cards. As they were playing, the two started chatting about the card games they played in "Golden Pink Family".
Both of them agreed that it was the happiest time of their lives.
That's right. After all, Zhang Yuan performs "Big Moving" every day and gives the money he won from Chen Kun to the two of them. Isn't it okay?
“I don’t know what Zhang Yuan is like.”
“Yes, I haven’t seen him for a long time.”
As the two of them talked, Teacher Jin, who was playing cards, thought about it for a moment, then stood up and took out a script outline from the desk drawer, and looked at the list of starring actors above.
On the first position, I saw Zhang Yuan's name.
“Are you talking about him?”
Wu Jing and Huang Meiying were both shocked when they saw it.
“We haven’t seen each other for more than a year, and he’s already playing the leading role!”
"I remember that when he was in "The Family", he was only the third male and fourth male."
This speed of progress really shocked the two veteran actors.
Just like that, with the advice of my wife and long-time friends... If he has difficulties in performing, you can help and give guidance.
Teacher Jin was quite cautious and did not express his attitude first, but observed silently for a while.
He felt it when he saw it.
Zhang Yuan didn't need his advice on anything.
He even felt that the plot and style of this film could not bring out the full potential of this kid. He was obviously very relaxed and at ease when performing.
Teacher Jin came back to his senses and answered the director's question.
"Director Wu, the actor's performance is one thing, and the suitability of the role is also another thing."
"I once participated in the filming of a movie, and the female lead was very good. But don’t worry about it when it comes to acting.”
"Oh..."
Although the other party said it very cryptically and obviously didn't want to offend anyone, Director Wu understood it instantly.
“Hey!”
“I think Boss Cai has a background in casting, and this is what she is best at, so I have never doubted her choice of actors.”
“Now that I think about this, it suddenly becomes clear!”
Director Wu looked at Liu Pinyan.
This girl is just in her early 15s, has a chubby face, and speaks in the cooing tone of a standard Taiwanese girl.
The whole person is lively and cute, and his eyes and movements are also very smart.
But!
But there is no squeamishness and arrogance in the eldest lady Lin Yueru.
Just like Qing Yi and Dan in opera.
One needs to be grand and elegant, and the other needs to be smart and playful. Obviously, Liu Pinyan belongs to the latter.
Wu Jingyuan shook his legs and thought for a while, then finally took out his cell phone, thought about it, and called Li Guoli.
"Hey, Jingyuan, is everything going well on the set?"
Li Guoli has been handling other matters in Xiangjiang these days and happens to be away from the set.
"Director Li, there is something I want to tell you."
Seeing the serious tone of the other party, Li Guoli straightened up.
"Tell me, is there something wrong with the crew?"
"It's a little troublesome. I think there is a little problem with the casting of the actresses in our film."
After Director Li heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
"Which actor has a problem?" Li Guoli asked hesitantly.
“Although Lin Yueru’s actor Liu Pinyan is very serious about her work, her personality is not suitable for the role.”
Li Guoli:...
Hiss... Director Li is smoking. Mouth is cold.
When Wu Jingyuan just mentioned that there was a problem with the casting of actresses, he immediately remembered what Cai Yinong said when he met Zhang Yuan in Cai Yinong's office on the day of the audition.
"I think it might be more appropriate for their roles to be reversed..."
At that time, I even spoke back to him fiercely.
It’s scary as hell. When Director Wu said the words Lin Yueru, Director Li felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
“It’s over!”
“He was right!”
Wu Jingyuan contacted Li Guoli because he thought that Cai Yinong was usually in charge of casting matters and did not want to offend her directly.
Unexpectedly, Li Guoli was hit in a crucial spot.
"Hey, if Liu Pinyan is not allowed to play Lin Yueru, who should we find?"
Director Wu suddenly remembered that if he changed roles on the spot, not only would it be easy to offend Baodao investors, but You also have to stop and spend time looking for actors, which is a huge loss.
"How about you let An Yixuan try..." Li Guoli replied weakly.
"That's right!"
Director Wu clapped his hands, his eyes shining with golden light.
“I also think Anu played by An Yixuan is not cute and smart enough.”
“Both of them just lack the temperament needed for their roles.”
“And at the same time Team substitution, minimal loss.”
"As expected of Director Li, he has a good brain and takes the overall situation into consideration."
"I'll try to change someone right now!"
Li Guoli:...
Wu Jingyuan He even praised me...
Director Wu didn’t even know that his flattery was so flattering.
The more he praised, the more uncomfortable Li Guoli felt. He felt like there were more than two hundred Zhang Yuans crawling all over his body.
But that’s not the scariest thing.
Soon after, he called Cai Yinong.
"Yinong, Wu Jingyuan said that there is a small problem with the casting of the crew..."
He had to bite the bullet and explain the matter to his partner, Boss Cai.
This is the scariest thing.
"So, I'm going to let An Yixuan and Liu Pinyan try to swap, right." Boss Cai raised his head and thought about it.
“This sounds a bit familiar.”
Li Guoli: Don’t think about it, don’t think about it...
“Ah, did Zhang Yuan mention this before? Something! "Boss Cai is a strong woman and has a good memory.
"You even criticized him at that time. He politely said it was just his personal suggestion. I didn't expect her to give it the right answer."
Boss Cai clicked his tongue and complained.
"Knowing this, I wish I had listened to him earlier."
Li Guoli:...(End of Chapter)
