Chapter five hundred and thirty first supporting role
In mid-August, Zhang Jiayi left the capital and went to Chengde to join the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".???
He plays a small supporting role in the movie, with few scenes, and if it goes well, it will be finished in a week.
Characters like this do not have much effect in the film, and they are easily cut off when the director edits later. Even if they are retained, it is probably more than a minute of the shots, which are better than those characters in a few seconds.
Zhang Jiayi used to be learning this time, and it was obviously unrealistic to be famous for such roles.
Being able to work with Hollywood directors and top domestic actors is a rare opportunity in itself.
Zhang Guoli also passed by with Zhang Jiayi.
Zhang Guoli plays Liu Taibao in the film. Liu Taibao is the boxing master of Beile Mansion. He is well-known on the ground in the capital and is considered a figure like a city wanderer. To put it bluntly, he is a gangster.
This character is not the protagonist, but he plays the role of threading needles and is indispensable.
There was no scene of Zhang Guoli in the early stage. His scenes were mainly in the capital, but the scenes in the capital would not be filmed in the capital, but moved to Chengde's Summer Resort.
The Summer Resort was once a royal garden, a place where the emperor took a vacation, and had a well-preserved royal palace.
If you shoot in Beijing, it will not only cost a lot, but it will also be inconvenient. It is impossible for the crew to set up a helicopter in Beijing to shoot buildings on the ground, and even if you apply, you will not be able to approve it.
There are not so many concerns in Chengde. It is very impressive to be able to incorporate the entire palace into the camera.
At this time, the movie has been filmed for half. After filming the scenes of the Summer Resort and Cangyan Mountain, the remaining shots can be completed in the studio in the capital, and there is no need to go out for the outdoor scene.
For Zhang Jiayi, Zhang Guoli belongs to the senior in the circle.
Zhang Guoli became famous as early as the 1980s, and became famous all over the country with his plays and historical dramas in the 1990s. Now he has opened a film and television company, directed and acted by himself, making it a success.
The two of them had no relationship in the past, but now they have some relationship because of Good Dream Company.
Although Zhang Guoli opened a film and television company himself, he still had the title of art consultant at Haomeng Company and was very close to Haomeng Company. He would participate in many of the company's activities.
If you need actors and staff to film, you will also find someone from Haomeng Company for easy use.
It is not easy to grow a business model of a husband-and-wife store like them, and they don’t have the time and energy to train actors. However, the advantage is that they are more free and can earn more money.
This is the norm in the domestic entertainment industry. Actors with fame and capital often choose to open film and television companies and studios.
Relying on Good Dream Company, Zhang Guoli does not have to worry too much about future prospects.
At the same time, he can also bring benefits to Haomeng Company with his own influence, which is a complementary relationship.
In the Beijing entertainment industry, film and television companies founded by Zhang Guoli, Zhao Baogang, Wang Zhongjun and others have good cooperative relationships with Haomeng Company, and everyone communicates with each other.
Of course there is competition, but when you encounter trouble, you will join forces and unite to the outside world.
"Teacher Zhang, your recent drama has hit a record high. Major satellite TV stations are rushing to broadcast it, and news has also been made. It's so popular." Zhang Jiayi congratulated.
"That's just a long time, and the audience will give you face and support." Zhang Guoli said self-deprecatingly, "I actually don't want to repeat the truth, but in this situation, investors need to see the returns and shoot other topics, they don't invest in it."
The fourth part of the private interview starring Zhang Guoli was filmed this year, forming a brand.
The people are interested in this drama, and the characters in it are deeply rooted in people's hearts. If you like to watch it, there will be a market.
Whether it is the Beijing TV Art Center or other investors, they hope to continue this series, so why not film TV series that can make money?
If Zhang Guoli shoots a new theme, such as an urban emotional drama.
It cannot be said that there is no appeal, but investors and TV stations are unsure and cannot sell well when they are sold, so there is no need to take risks.
As an actor, they want to make breakthroughs, but the market and capital are the manipulators behind the scenes. They shoot whatever they make money.
Zhang Guoli misses the past. In the early 1990s, the domestic TV drama market had just relaxed, and a large number of new types of dramas, sitcoms, romance dramas and historical dramas emerged.
Beijing TV Art Center has set a precedent for many domestic TV industries.
Their people started their careers with TV dramas, became famous and made their appearance, which was an advantage and a constraint.
Zhang Guoli doesn't want to live up to his old capital, and the audience will always be bored for a day, so he feels helpless.
"This means that the characters you have portrayed are good and the audience will support you." Zhang Jiayi said sincerely.
It is not easy for an actor to create a role that is remembered by the audience. Like Zhang Guoli, he has almost become synonymous with the emperor. Behind this is the actor's profound acting skills.
Otherwise, so many actors have played the Emperor, so why are there only a few remembered by the audience?
"Don't be so polite. We are considered a company. I have seen you play "Borrowing a Gun" and it is very detailed and layered." Zhang Guoli praised, "Mr. Lin has always had a good vision. He has praised you several times in front of us."
"That's what Mr. Lin loves. I still have a lot to learn." Zhang Jiayi said modestly.
The two chatted all the way and came to Chengde's Summer Resort.
The crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has many highlights here. Various characters from the capital appear one after another. Yu Jiaolong, played by Xu Jinglei, stole the Qingming Sword and had a fierce battle with Yu Feihong.
Movies are not filmed in the order of the plot, but are adjusted according to the specific situation.
For example, if you miss the best season and put it in winter to shoot the bamboo, the bamboo will not be as verdant as summer and will not have a beautiful feeling.
Therefore, the bamboo forest drama must be filmed in advance, and then the scenes of the Summer Resort should be filmed.
This requires the actor to make psychological adjustments, be able to enter the show at any time and have a full mood.
The crew has been filming the outdoor scene for more than two months. Both the actors and the staff can be said to be exhausted both physically and mentally, so they wanted to finish the filming and return to Beijing to rest for a few days.
The outdoor scene of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is either in the desert or in the deep mountains, and there is no comfortable place, which is extremely difficult.
On the day Zhang Jiayi came, the crew was filming a scene where Yu Jiaolong stole the Qingming Sword late at night.
Xu Jinglei needs to wear a night-mounted dress and cover her face, running quickly on the roof of the palace garden.
Director Chen chased after him, and the two used their light skills to leap on the roof, and then left the capital.
Li An asked the photographer to take pictures of poetry and beauty.
Take a picture from a high place, and take a picture of the actor running and chasing, making the audience feel as if they are standing on a boat overlooking the dolphins swimming in the sea. (To be continued.)8
