$375: Django the Overseer
"Why do I like you so much..."
…
Zhang Liming's "I Just Like You" often plays in every corner of the crew. Those who speak Cantonese and those who don't will hum a few lines in their spare time.
Perhaps this is the charm of music. It seems to have a little bit of sadness and a little bit of mystery, but more of it is the soft notes and words. I can't help but sing, sometimes high-pitched and powerful, sometimes low and graceful, which makes people Sadness makes people happy and intoxicating.
However, the number one song on the song list is "Song of the Sunset" by Mei Manlu, the second is "I Just Like You" by Zhang Liming, and the third is "Every Day We Walked Together" by Liu Ronghua.
The first one is as stable as a mountain, and I haven’t gone down since the day I climbed to the top. The second and third ones have been swapping back and forth. You go up one day, and I go up the other day.
At present, the new song dispute between Zhang Liming and Liu Ronghua will not come to an end soon.
On this day, Jiang Ge arranged for Qi Hu to shoot some scattered interior scenes, and he went to join the group.
The crew of "The Swordsman: The Sunflower Collection" were filming scenes on the river and on the boat. This scene is about Linghu Chong singing "A Laugh in the Sea" with his martial arts predecessors Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang in a small boat to avoid Zuo Lengchan's pursuit. 》.
Liu Zhengfeng in the original version was played by Wu Ma, and Feng Hongyuan, who was playing Yan Chixia, was cast here, while Qu Yang was played by Lin Zhengying, and Cao Hua, who had previously played Hai Dafu, was cast.
"Ka! Xiaojie, your mouth shape is not right." Shi Changxin stopped and said to Pei Jie: "Although it is lip-syncing and dubbing in the later stage, it cannot make the audience look too fake."
Pei Jie said with a grimace: "Sorry, Director Shi, I don't have a good sense of rhythm and can't control the speed."
In this scene, he was very nervous every time he sang, for fear that the rhythm would be inaccurate, but the more this happened, the more inaccurate the rhythm became, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
Shi Changxin was at a loss for what to do. He sang along to the original sound of Qin Shiyue's "A Laugh in the Sea", but he couldn't even match his mouth shape.
How about finding a replacement?
Just as he was thinking of a way to deal with it, Django walked into the cabin.
"Director Jiang!"
…
Several people saw him coming and hurriedly said hello.
Jiang Ge nodded to them. He heard the conversation between Shi Changxin and Pei Jie just now, so he gave a suggestion and said: "Just take a picture of Xiaojie's profile. In this way, you can see whether the mouth shape is right." Not out.”
When Shi Changxin heard this, he frowned and said, "Thank you, Director Jiang."
Then he turned to Pei Jie, Su Qin, Feng Hongyuan, and Cao Hua and said, "Then, let's do another one."
Everyone nodded.
The arrival of Jiang Ge also made them energetic.
"Scene 19, fourth shot, action!"
The sound of the board falls and the music rises.
Feng Hongyuan, holding a flute in one hand and a wine bowl in the other, was the first to speak: "The sea laughs, the tide surges across the shore, ups and downs follow the waves, just remember the present day..."
Su Qin held the sheet music.
Cao Hua played the guqin.
Pei Jie plays the third string.
"Click!"
However, before the first minute had elapsed, Jiang Ge called him to stop.
For a moment, the cabin was eerily quiet.
The photography and lighting swallowed unconsciously, sighing secretly, it was indeed a ghost scene on the set, no scene was spared wherever they went.
Of course, Jiang Ge didn't yell stop randomly. Shi Changxin's shortcomings were fully exposed in this scene. Literary dramas are much weaker than martial arts dramas. He immediately said: "The chorus of this song is powerful and courageous. Every one of you Everyone should have that kind of relaxed and happy smile on their face, as if the grudges and all the love and hate in the world are dissipated in this song. Find your emotions and don't sing. "
This version of "The Swordsman" is older. It was directed by Hu Jinquan in 1990 and starred Xu Guanjie, Ye Tong, Jacky Cheung and Zhang Min. It tells the story of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, when the "Sunflower Book", the secret book of Ouchi's martial arts, was stolen. Linghu Chong in the world was involved in a bloody storm.
Many people may not have seen it, but the clip of several people singing "A Laugh in the Sea" in the cabin can be said to be one of the classic scenes in martial arts movies. Three old men sang this song loudly while keeping a smile, which was slightly The rough voice makes the vicissitudes of life in the song as clear as a passing cloud.
Therefore, this scene seems simple and ordinary, but it is very important.
"clear!"
…
After a moment, Pei Jie, Su Qin, Feng Hongyuan, and Cao Hua said one after another.
Seeing this, Jiang Ge nodded towards Shi Changxin.
"Each group prepares, 3, 2, 1..."
Shi Changxin thought he could direct a play independently, but Jiang Ge's mastery of details just now made him deeply understand that there was still a lot to learn.
Shooting continues.
This one is very good, the shots and performances are very good.
After the filming was completed, Jiang Ge took this opportunity to tell Shi Changxin some things to pay attention to when filming literary dramas, such as how to make the actors' moods and emotions fit the plot.
Before you know it, the sun goes down, dusk quietly closes the earth, and the lake water ripples in the evening breeze.
After eating a packed lunch on the set of "The Swordsman: The Sunflower Chronicles", Jiang Ge went to the set of "A Chinese Ghost Story", where they happened to be filming a night scene.
"Xiao Jiang, why are you here?" Zhou Mulong raised his eyebrows and said, "You're not here to borrow someone again, are you?"
Jiang Ge chuckled and said, "No, I have nothing to do, so I came over to take a look."
"Easy?" Zhou Mulong thought for a while. It was quite leisure to shoot his script. Basically, he didn't have to worry about the plot, lines, and storyboards. He only needed to train the actors well. He said, "It's just right. Help me put this scene together." The scene was filmed.”
"Ah..." Jiang Ge was startled, and then said: "No, no, no, you'd better come."
Zhou Mulong smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't agree."
The two talked and laughed and came to the set.
The scene that was about to be filmed was when Yan Chixia persuaded Ning Caichen to leave Lanruo Temple quickly, but she never expected that Ning Caichen would never forget Nie Xiaoqian. Before leaving, she went to Nie Xiaoqian's residence to say goodbye. She never expected to bump into her grandma, and Nie Xiaoqian took Ning Caichen away. He hid it in the bathtub to prevent grandma from smelling human scent. Finally, relying on Nie Xiaoqian's wit, he ventilated Ning Caichen in the water to avoid grandma's eyes and ears.
It is also a very classic scene, especially when Nie Xiaoqian, played by Wang Zuxian, comes out of the bathtub and puts on a red dress, she is extremely beautiful.
Zhou Mulong first explained the play to all the actors, and then rehearsed it again.
Jiang Ge watched quietly from behind.
Whether a movie is good or not, the story is the most important, followed by the actors.
The more I watch the casting of "A Chinese Ghost Story," the more satisfied I become.
Qin Shiyue's appearance is not inferior to Wang Zuxian's, and her beautiful eyes are like the person in the painting.
Zhang Liming's Ning Caichen cannot be compared with Leslie Cheung's version. After all, that kind of temperament is innate and cannot be imitated. It is with the soul. He uses acting skills and appearance to create a perfect image. It is difficult to reproduce a classic, but It is much better than the versions by Chen Xiaodong, Yu Shaoqun, Chi Shuai, etc.
"Scene 18, first shot, action!"
…
At this time, each group was ready, the record operator marked the scene, and filming officially started.
[Outside, Zhang Fucheng (Ning Caichen) knocked on the door and kept shouting: "Nie Xiaoqian, Nie Xiaoqian..."
In the room, Qin Shiyue (Nie Xiaoqian) looked panicked. She hesitated before opening the door and said, "Why are you here?"
Zhang Fucheng smiled happily and said, "I heard the sound of the piano and came to find you."
Qin Shiyue looked around nervously, then pulled him closer to the room and closed the door.
Zhang Fucheng looked around the room.
Qin Shiyue chased him and said anxiously, "You can't come to this place."
As he said that, he pulled him towards the main entrance.
Zhang Fucheng explained: "I'm leaving tomorrow and I'm here to say goodbye to you."]
Here is one shot to the end, followed by ten sub-shots.
"Shiyue, expose your ankles and bells..."
…
"Dawn, when you are in the water, you should open your eyes..."
…
"The extras should follow the speaker with their eyes, don't stay in a daze..."
…
Jiang Ge didn't say anything during this period. Zhou Mulong was experienced and experienced, and he couldn't compare to him in filming.
The Black Mountain Grandma played by Xu Shaoguo is here. The makeup, clothes and nails are even more terrifying than the original version. When the voices of a man and a woman are added in the later stage, it will be even more terrifying.
Qin Shiyue was whipped as soon as she came on stage.
Django nodded.
Qin Shiyue's acting skills have improved again. Her facial expressions, voice and body movements when being whipped are so lifelike that they look real.
Of course, protective measures were taken beforehand and it was not a real fight.
"Very good, click!"
Zhou Mulong clapped his hands, and then said to everyone on the set: "For the next part of the shooting, the photographer Xiao Zhao and the lighting Xiao Du will stay, and the others will go out first."
The scene was cleared, which meant it was a standard play.
Jiang Ge turned around and followed the others out. Although he knew that it was just a bare back and there was something on the chest, it was better not to look at it.
As soon as he left the house, the assistant arranged for Zhou Mulong ran over and said: "Director Jiang, the boss's wife is here."
Jiang Ge looked around a few times, but didn't see Zhou Lingwei, so he asked, "Where is the person?"
The assistant replied: "In the director's car."
Jiang Ge hurried over, and when he saw Zhou Lingwei, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Watch this better.
When Zhou Lingwei saw that it was him, she smiled happily and asked, "Have you finished filming?"
Jiang Ge laughed and said, "Absolutely."
Immediately, he changed the topic and said: "Don't you come tomorrow?"
Zhou Lingwei pulled him to sit down next to her, hugged his arm, and said, "Pianpian happened to be going to Chen Qian's place, so we came here together."
Django asked: "Have you had dinner?"
"I just came here after dinner. They said you and my dad were filming in the house. I saw there were too many people, so I didn't go in." Zhou Lingwei nodded and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Jiang Ge replied: "I just ate it at the crew of "The Swordsman: The Sunflower Collection"."
"Oops..." Zhou Lingwei blinked, pointed to the thermos bucket on the small table, and said, "What about this soup?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ge had a look of surprise on his face and said, "Did you cook it from home?"
"That's right." Zhou Lingwei smiled lightly and said, "Last week during our WeChat video chat, you said you wanted to drink. I was worried that there was no place to make it here, so I made it at home and brought it over."
Jiang Ge didn't even know what to say, other than being moved, he was still moved.
All he could do was drink the winter melon and pork ribs soup in the thermos bucket, but he only drank half of it, and the remaining half was left for Zhou Mulong.
"Drink slowly..." Zhou Lingwei handed over a tissue and said, "No one is trying to grab it from you."
"Delicious!" Jiang Ge licked his lips and said, "Your cooking skills have improved again."
"Hehe." Zhou Lingwei smiled and said, "I learned it from my aunt."
Jiang Ge was about to praise his mother's cooking skills when he saw a stagehand with several crew members outside the car carrying three boxes of Red Bull and shouting, "The boss lady treats everyone to drinks!"
"Thank you, boss lady!"
...
For a while, voices of thanks came one after another.
Zhou Lingwei leaned out and waved to them with a smile.
Jiang Ge smiled again and again, and the atmosphere was good.
"Dad."
"Uncle Zhou."
...
Just then, Zhou Mulong came over after filming: "Girl, why are you here?"
Zhou Lingwei went up and took his arm, smiling and said: "I came to see you."
Zhou Mulong laughed and said: "I think you came to see me 'by the way'."
Zhou Lingwei did not refute, but said: "The winter melon and pork ribs soup in the thermos is reserved for you."
Zhou Mulong asked: "Did your mother make it?"
Zhou Lingwei pouted and said: "I made it."
Zhou Mulong smiled again and said: "Xiao Jiang came at the right time today, otherwise I would not be able to drink this soup."
When Zhou Lingwei heard it, she said coquettishly: "Oh, if you want to drink it in the future, I will make it for you."
The three talked for a while.
Zhou Mulong went to film again, and Jiang Ge and Zhou Lingwei returned to the hotel.
The young couple who had not seen each other for a while naturally had sex.
After taking a shower, Jiang Ge sat at the head of the bed, opened his tablet, entered his account password to enter the mailbox, and checked the sample sent by the production department.
"What is this?" Zhou Lingwei, who had blown her hair, leaned over and asked.
"Samples of the first, second and third episodes of "Young Justice Bao." Jiang Ge replied.
Because the show was sold to Blueberry Satellite TV for weekly broadcast, the post-production was completed, and it had to be reviewed by him before it was sent for review.
"Well..." Zhou Lingwei dragged out the sound, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Can I watch it with you?"
"Of course." As long as she wanted to watch it, Jiang Ge would not refuse to let her watch it.
Click play, and the story begins.
Jiang Ge has modified all the scripts exchanged from the system, but it's just a matter of how much he changed.
The reason is simple. These movies and TV series that have been very successful on Earth are actually not perfect.
Take the Young Justice Bao for example. The advantages are that the suspense is well done, the process of solving the case is simple and exciting, the plot is humorous and fun, and it can draw on the traditional Legend of Bao Zheng. For example, Chen Shimei in The Angry Execution of Chen Shimei is the prototype of Cui Mingchong, and there is also The Substitute Prince.
There are also disadvantages. The scenes in the play are not scary, but the dubbing is too much. Bao Zheng's character is a little unpleasant. The catchphrase "You are wrong" was complained that "it is too easy to talk without any pain in the waist, just blindly filling chicken soup", and from time to time, you have to open some plug-ins. Every time the case is at the most critical moment, there will always be various prompts, as if possessed by gods.
Therefore, Jiang Ge tried his best to optimize these existing problems and make the script more exciting.
