The bard joins the entertainment industry

On top of the county government office, Fan Bingbing suddenly knelt on the ground, leaning his upper body back, and drew the soft sword in his hand backwards on several Wu Xing wearing government office uniforms.

"Ah!" screamed, and several people rolled over and fell to the ground motionless.

"Okay, click!" Chen Shuo shouted with the walkie-talkie, and then looked through the footage he just shot.

Fan Bingbing grinned and stood up with the help of his assistant, gently rubbing his knees.

"Okay, passed!" Chen Shuo shouted, and several pieces of information appeared in front of his eyes.

"The character has completed directing once. Since the directing level this time is excellent, skill: directing experience +10."

"..."

But he didn't pay too much attention to this. He looked at Fan Bingbing who was in pain and asked, "Is Sister Bingbing okay?"

"It's okay." Although Fan Bingbing said so, looking at her limping when walking, it obviously didn't look like she was really okay.

"doctor!"

Chen Shuo shouted and then said: "Give me your hand and help Sister Bingbing to the side."

Several on-site field staff helped her and helped her to the resting area.

The doctors and nurses who were following her also came to her side, lifted up her skirt and trousers, and removed her knee pads to reveal her red knees.

The shot just now required her to lean back and bend down, but did not require her to kneel on the ground.

Unexpectedly, she failed to hold on and knelt down. After seeing it, Chen Shuo felt that the effect was good and asked her to pat it again.

Unexpectedly, I failed to control my strength both times. When I knelt down, I used too much force and my knees were red.

Fortunately, the doctor saw that there was nothing serious. He just needed to spray some anti-swelling spray and take a rest.

Moreover, as the scene just now was filmed, today's scene is also over.

After letting people pack up their things and start transitioning, Chen Shuo said to Fan Bingbing: "Sister Bingbing, please go back and have a rest first. I'll give you a day off for the afternoon scene."

"Thank you, Director Chen!" Fan Bingbing said gratefully.

Chen Shuo nodded and told her assistant: "Go back and spray more medicine."

Then he asked everyone to pack their things quickly, and then moved to a ruined temple.

Shu Chang and Yang Junyi arrived here early, and under the guidance of Shen Pingchuan, they lined up their actions over and over again.

"Fourth brother, Changchang, how are the preparations going?"

When the two of them saw him stop his movements, Yang Junyi said: "That's almost it. Changchang's physical fitness is very good. There will be no problem shooting."

Shu Chang also said: "It should be fine."

Chen Shuo nodded and said: "That's okay, but you'd better be careful when filming later. In the morning, Fan Bingbing injured his knee. Please pay more attention later."

Shu Chang nodded and said: "Okay, I will pay attention to it later."

Yang Junyi was fine, such actions were not a problem for him.

Moreover, he is a grown man who also practices martial arts, so stumbling around is common.

This afternoon's scene is quite important. According to the order of the script, it is a turning point and a scene that highlights the entire theme.

Before becoming a monk, Ananda, a disciple of the Buddha, met a young girl on the road and fell in love with her.

Buddha asked him, how much do you like this girl?

Ananda replied: I would like to be transformed into a stone bridge and be exposed to the wind for five hundred years, the sun for five hundred years, and the rain for five hundred years, if only this girl could walk across the bridge.

This is a Buddhist story, but here, it was turned into a theme of the entire movie by Chen Shuo.

The killer Xiaoyu changed her mind and quit the world because of Lu Zhu's words, seeking an ordinary life and love.

This scene is about Lu Zhu using his own life to save Xiao Yu who is struggling in a sea of ​​suffering.

However, if you give up, you will get something. Lu Zhu sacrificed his own life, but he also achieved his own merits.

Xiaoyu gave up on herself and created a new love for Zeng Jing.

Even Jiang Asheng gave up his past hatred and gained a happy family.

The difficulty of this scene seems to be the martial arts. Lu Zhu uses martial arts to make up for the shortcomings of Xiao Yu's water-proof swordsmanship, but in fact the literary drama contained in it is the key point.

Lu Zhu followed Xiaoyu for three months. From the beginning, he just wanted to stop her from doing evil. He gradually understood her heart and began to like her.

Just like Ananda fell in love with a girl and couldn't let go of her after meeting her.

However, when he saw that Xiao Yu was sinking too deep and it was difficult to escape, he inevitably became determined to sacrifice his life for charity.

With his own life, he awakened Xiaoyu's conscience and put a layer of shackles on her.

When she realizes herself from the shackles and regains her life, that's when the two people's merits are complete.

Before his death, Lu Zhu had gone from a small love to a big love.

It seems that the fossil bridge died with its own body, and it is willing to withstand wind, sun, and rain, just to let the drizzle pass on this bridge.

In fact, this small love is also used to extend the big love. Saving Xiao Yu means saving all the creatures that may be killed by her in the future.

At the same time, he also saved himself who had broken the precept.

After Chen Shuo arrived, the crew prepared for a while, and Zhang Yimou also rushed over.

He was also very concerned about this scene and wanted to personally guide Chen Shuo to complete the scene.

Everything was ready, and after the staff put down the black cloth outside, filming officially started.

Under the cover of black cloth, the room seemed to be plunged into darkness. The swaying bonfire cast the figures of the two people on the mottled walls.

With Yang Junyi here, the best thing to shoot is the fight scene, which only needs to be done simply once.

Of course, action scenes are simple to say, but not so easy to shoot.

The eight sword moves that Chen Shuo had previously practiced took more than two hours to film before they were completely filmed.

Before filming started, he called Shu Chang and Yang Junyi over and said, "Shu Chang, your task is mainly on the martial arts part, and more on your understanding of the water-bending swordsmanship."

After Shu Chang nodded, he said to Yang Junyi: "The most important part of this play is your performance.

How to present a confident, restrained, free and compassionate image depends on your next performance. "

"Director Zhang, I will do my best to perform this scene well." Yang Junyi nodded seriously.

He doesn't have many roles in this drama, only this one.

He worked hard for this scene. After many discussions with Chen Shuo and the screenwriting team, he wrote a 50,000-word biography for Lu Zhu, a character who only appeared once.

From his origins, martial arts experience, to the various changes he experienced after seeing Xiao Yu, he designed them all one by one.

If we take the biography he wrote and process it to make a biography of Lu Zhu, it won't take much effort.

As Chen Shuo and Yu Bo became big stars in film and television, he also wanted to move up.

Since he, Zhang Jin, Yu Bo and Chen Shuo joined Zhouyi one after another, Chen Shuo first became famous through "Passing Love" and "Crystal Love".

He continued to participate in many other TV series, and then he met Zhang Yimou and acted in "House of Flying Daggers", completing the transition from TV series to movies.

When Yu Bo played the leading role with Chen Shuo, he always played the second male lead. When Chen Shuo started playing the first male lead in other films, he also started playing the first male lead.

Later, I got my first exposure to movies through "Seven Swords", and then "Swordsman", completing the transition from TV series to movies.

And he has now embarked on this path. When Yu Bo no longer needs the male lead in TV series, he has already starred in the male lead in two TV series "Phantom Needle" and "Jingwei Reclamation" last year.

This year he wants to complete the transition to movies through "Swordsman" and "Crazy Stone".

After the filming of the next movie in which he plays the leading role starts, I think he will be able to complete the transition to movies.

The role of Lu Zhu doesn't have many roles, but it's very distinctive.

If the performance is good, he feels that it will even be more popular than Zhang Jin's dramatist.

After the two of them made preparations, they started filming the literary part.

After setting up the machine, Yang Junyi sat in front of the bonfire, wearing a simple monk's robe, a string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck, and only an inch of short hair that had not yet been shaved.

He closed his eyes slightly and said softly: "You have four sword skills that you haven't learned fully."

Shu Chang was wearing a dark red tight-fitting suit, standing behind him, holding a water-proof sword and pointing at him, and said coldly: "So what?"

"I'm worried that in the future, if you meet a real master, once he sees your flaws..."

He didn't finish his words, but there was a hint of worry hidden in his calm tone.

Shu Chang took a step forward, "Turn around and look at me!"

"I can't see you again." Yang Junyi said in an incomprehensible tone: "In a few days, I will officially become a monk."

Shu Chang opened his eyes, took another step forward, pointed his sword at the back of his head and said, "We're just talking about tonsure now, so why have you been pestering me for three months?"

Yang Junyi's tone returned to calmness and he said: "After today's farewell, I will chant sutras for you in the morning and dusk to eliminate your karma, and ask the Buddha to make a wish so that you can enlighten and break it.

It can break all dharma, break all pain in the world, escape from the sea of ​​suffering, and reach the other shore. "

Listening to him speaking these words in such a calm tone, a sense of inexplicable anger arose in Shu Chang's heart, which she had never felt before.

She put away her sword and took two steps back. "Can you break it? Can you break it? If any temple dares to shave you, I will kill all the old and young people in the temple."

After saying that, he picked up his sword and turned around to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Yang Junyi shouted, as if he had made up his mind, he stood up and turned around, looking at her back.

The situation between the two of them was reversed from before. The difference was that Shu Chang had always had a firm determination.

Yang Junyi's back view just now seemed to be a sign of relief, but in fact he was avoiding. And the current face seemed to be a confrontation, but in fact, he had already felt relief.

Free yourself and free others.

"Today, it's time for me to get rid of this sin and end this relationship."

"Okay, stop!"

After he finished speaking his lines, Chen Shuo shouted loudly, and the filming was over in an instant.

He gave Yang Junyi a thumbs up and said, "Fourth brother, you performed well."

Yang Junyi nodded slightly and did not respond or leave the venue. Instead, he just stood there quietly.

He is still immersed in the character and does not want to break away now. There is still one most important scene next.

Chen Shuo ignored him and played back the scene with Zhang Yimou. Looking at the performance of Shu Chang and Yang Junyi under the camera, Chen Shuo nodded with satisfaction.

The encounter between Lu Zhu and Xiao Yu was a bad fate. It turned out that Lu Zhu was going to be ordained as a monk. However, before being ordained, he heard that Rama's body appeared in the rivers and lakes and was snatched away by Xiao Yu.

He, who was highly skilled in martial arts, wanted to resolve the killings for Jianghu before he was tonsured, so he approached Xiaoyu and pestered her for three months.

The intention was to get Rama's body back from her and to persuade her not to commit any more killings.

It was just the three months of getting along that moved his human heart and left him entangled between Buddha and love.

I was worried that being passionate would harm my holy life, and I was afraid of being separated from the beautiful city when I entered the mountains. I have peace of mind in this world, and I will live up to the Tathagata and live up to you.

Since you can't have it both ways, just throw away both and let everything go.

With an ethereal sound like raindrops on the water, the water-proof sword pierced Lu Zhu's chest.

Feeling the cold edge of the sword, Yang Junyi smiled and said with a calm expression, "The Zen opportunity has arrived!"

He took off the beads from his neck and said, "If you can put down this sword in your hand and leave this path, I will be the last person you kill."

After saying that, he gently placed the prayer beads in his hand on the edge of the sword.

Shu Chang gently pulled out the sword, and with just a slight movement, the sharp edge of the sword cut the rope, and the beads scattered on the floor.

At this point in the performance, Yang Junyi seems to have really integrated into the character, giving him a sense of detachment.

The blood bag hidden in his chest soaked into the monk's clothes and looked a little dark in the dim firelight.

After the makeup artist touched up her makeup, her face looked a little pale, but her expression was very peaceful.

His tone was weak due to weakness, but it didn't seem rushed.

"Send Rama's body to Yunhe Temple in Nanjing and hand it over to the presiding master, the monk Jian Chi. The secret of the body is..."

Before he finished speaking, his head slowly drooped and passed away suddenly.

"Pah! Pah! Pah pah pah~" As Chen Shuo applauded, others also applauded.

Yang Junyi's performance just now has indeed achieved the confidence, restraint, freedom and compassion that Zhang Yimou said.

Yang Junyi stood up and stood with his eyes closed for a while, then opened his eyes and asked Chen Shuo: "How was it? How did you perform just now?"

"Very good." Zhang Yimou stood up and gave him a thumbs up, nodded and said, "The performance just now was very layered and met the requirements I mentioned."

"Thank you, Director Zhang, for the compliment." Yang Junyi came to the two of them and said a little shyly: "Thanks to Director Zhang's guidance during this period, I can perform as well as I do now."

"Director Zhang, what about my performance?" Shu Chang also asked with a smile.

"Your performance is very spiritual and you are willing to delve into it." Zhang Yimou first expressed his affirmation of her performance, and then changed the subject and said: "However, you must be more confident when performing in the future."

"Confidence?" Shu Chang said in confusion, "Is my performance not confident enough?"

“The confidence I’m talking about is not your confidence in your understanding of the character and your performance in each scene, but in yourself, you need to be more confident in your performance.

I can feel that you have studied this character and every scene very deeply, but you lack confidence in art.

You should have the confidence that I can achieve everything with my performance.

Without this confidence, your performance will always be limited.

Although it doesn't delay the performance, it doesn't help you get deeper into the character. "

Zhang Yimou knows how to train actors. In this drama, he does not have to bear the main pressure and has more energy to guide everyone's performances.

Yu Bo, Shu Chang, Yang Junyi and others have all received his guidance. These guidance are their biggest gain in filming this drama, besides fame.

This is not just an experience in a play, but a benefit to future performances and your own career.

Of course, the same is true for Chen Shuo. During the filming, he was always learning everything eagerly.

After filming this scene, not only Yang Junyi and Shu Chang have grown up, but Chen Shuo has gained the most.

This scene can be said to be Zhang Yimou teaching him step by step how to direct a scene well, and establishing a film concept for him from the perspective of director and artistic presentation.

Whether a movie is good or not, the person who made it knows best.

Just like when Zhang Yimou was filming "Hero", they discovered the shortcomings of the story not long after filming started.

However, because he was under too much pressure at the beginning, he could not allow them to make drastic changes once filming started, so he could only make mistakes.

When filming "House of Flying Daggers", he learned the lesson from last time and wanted to be as perfect as possible in the early preparation stage.

However, due to various reasons, the entire movie was not completely finalized until filming started.

Even when filming started, Mei Yanfang almost couldn't participate in the film. In the end, she participated, but the script was inevitably revised.

The filming of the two dramas gave him different experiences, and also allowed him to explore some experience.

Commercial films require precise preparation, but because he is more emotional about art, he is unable to make such precise preparations.

Even if you are prepared, plans may be disrupted for various reasons.

After returning to the hotel in the evening, Zhang Yimou and Chen Shuo found a place to sit down, looked at the bright moon outside the window, and said with emotion: "Chen Shuo, what do you think can be a qualified director?"

Chen Shuo thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I have my own opinion. I don't think there is a final conclusion on this matter.

Some people have a strong desire for control and believe that the director is the soul of a movie. All actors, props, behind the scenes, and even investors are tools for him to realize his own ideas, and they want them to present them strictly according to their own ideas. .

Some people believe that art is a collision of inspirations. Wonderful stories can be derived from just putting in specific people and things in a specific place.

Some people think that if the stories I shoot are meant to make people watch Noh, then I am a qualified and good director. "

He looked at Zhang Yimou and asked, "Director Zhang, what kind of director do you think you are?"

Zhang Yimou was silent for a moment and said: "I feel like a director who has a strong desire to control, and I want everyone to follow my ideas in all arrangements.

However, I actually couldn't do this.

Firstly, my own abilities are not enough to perfectly control all aspects of a crew. Secondly, I am actually not as strong as I think.

I just taught Xiao Shuchang to have confidence in art, but I find that I seem to be losing this confidence now. "

Chen Shuo was silent for a while and then said: "Perhaps, Director Zhang, you can learn from today's fourth brother and give up some tangled parts appropriately and let it develop naturally.

Director Zhang felt that he was tired from filming "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" or "Jian Yu Jiang Hu"? "

"When I was filming House of Flying Daggers, I was the most tiring, and "Sword Rain" was the most relaxing." Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "But the happiest time was probably when I was filming "Red Sorghum."

As if he remembered something, he looked at the moon that was half covered by dark clouds and said: "At that time, my mind was the purest, just like when you were filming "House of Flying Daggers".

Maybe, after I finish filming this movie, I should find my original intention. "

Chen Shuo looked at him but said nothing.
