2995 [Summer is Li Mubai]
For the next period of time, summer was busy filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
This drama is actually relatively simple to shoot.
On the one hand, actors are obedient, and no one dares to be a big shot with Xia Tian. In order to win the favor of Xia Tian and strive to cooperate with Xia Tian or Tianxia Entertainment in the future, all actors are very serious when performing.
Even the smallest supporting actor has put in effort, hoping to leave a good impression on Xia Tian and get his promotion.
However, the consequences of doing this are a bit counterproductive. Because the supporting actors did not have so many dramas, they deliberately added the drama to themselves in order to attract Xia Tian's attention, which caused a lot of trouble. Later, they had to forcefully stipulate that the temporary actors did not obey the instructions and fired the actors at will, so that the crew atmosphere would be better.
In the past life, the big reason why many crews were not doing well in filming was that the actors were acting like big names and did not cooperate with their work.
For example, if you don’t remember the lines before filming, you will recite them when filming, so you will always get stuck when filming; you are unwilling to go out to the scene, don’t film when it’s windy and rainy, you will be late and leave early; you will be able to do some work while filming, etc.
If so many situations occur, the filming will naturally not go smoothly. The actors in the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are all serious about the filming, and the filming will naturally go smoothly.
On the one hand, the crew is well prepared, regardless of funds, props, costumes, sets, etc., everything is in front. Everything is ready, and it is naturally convenient to shoot a movie.
In the past life, many crews stumbling when filming were because they were not prepared enough before filming, lack of funds, lack of clothing, lack of props, lack of sets, lack of photography, lack of lighting, etc.
Especially the lack of a script is the real culprit who slows down the progress of the crew. In the past life, the reason why many crews were stumbling in filming was because of the script.
Before the script is finished, start shooting first. When shooting, people will hurry up and write the script. They will be edited and performed and filmed. This script creation model is called "Flying Paper Crazy".
The crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was prepared to reorganize in advance, and the script was written early and handed over to the actors, so many obstacles were naturally reduced during filming.
...
"Eighth Master, Yu Jiaolong's martial arts movements are more elegant, she is the martial arts of the Wudang School." Xia Tian said to the martial arts director Yuan Heping, "Yu Xiulian's martial arts is more tough, and it must match her personal personality."
The "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" team is the most powerful in the Chinese-speaking circle.
In addition to several main actors, other supporting roles are also carefully selected. For example, the actor who plays Tie Beile is Jiao Huang, and the old man played Kangxi in "Yongzheng Dynasty" is a master; the actor who plays Master Liu is Hu Jun, a domestic tough guy representative; even the housekeeper of the Beile Mansion who has only a few lines and only has a few sentences, is played by Zhang Fengyi.
As for the martial arts guidance, the eighth master Yuan Heping is responsible for it. Now Yuan Heping has served as the martial arts guidance of "The Matrix", so he is famous in the international world.
The reason why Xia Tian asked him to serve as a martial arts commander was mainly because Yuan Heping was very adaptable. He could help each actor and each character design different martial arts styles according to the characteristics of each actor. Moreover, even actors who do not know martial arts can play like a match under his arrangement.
Among the main actors in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", only Yang Ziqiong has some foundation. The rest, such as Zhou Runfa, Wu Yanzu, Zhang Ziyi, and Siqin Gaowa, have only received preliminary training, and their skills are limited to those of ordinary people, so they need master-level martial arts commanders like Yuan Heping to help them play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
"Okay." Yuan Heping nodded.
...
"Don't be afraid of hanging the wire later. There won't be any trouble. Just try to relax." Xia Tian reminded Zhang Ziyi again.
It is common for the Hong Kong film industry to hang wires. When Xia Tian was filming the "Huang Feihong" series, he has been hang wires a lot. However, Zhang Ziyi has never tried to shoot martial arts films since his debut. This is the first time to hang wires, so it is normal for him to not adapt.
Xia Tian could also see that she was a little nervous and her face turned pale.
"Yes, director." Zhang Ziyi pursed his lips tightly and nodded.
"Well, if you feel uncomfortable, tell the martial arts master in time and don't hold on." Xia Tian said again, "If you get injured, it will be bad."
When hanging a wire, if you don’t wear a wire outfit, it’s easy to get into trouble. At the mildest, muscle strain will be damaged, and at the worst, it will be damaged. Especially for newcomers, who have no experience, they are easily injured when hanging a wire for the first time. When hanging a wire for the first time in summer, because the wire outfit was not well worn, the legs were covered with bruises after filming.
"Thank you, director." Zhang Ziyi said quite moved when she heard Xia Tian say this.
To be honest, the crew is basically old actors, seniors, and everyone's qualifications are thick. Even Wu Yanzu has gone to Hollywood to explore and filmed a star with a special A-level masterpiece costing 100 million US dollars. Only she has only filmed one movie "My Father and Mother", so her qualifications can be said to be very shallow.
But with such a shallow experience, she plays the most important role. Even Yang Ziqiong has less roles than her. Therefore, it is normal to be jealous and excluded.
Only Xia Tian has never looked down on her and always patiently talks to her, which naturally makes her very grateful.
"You don't have to be polite. You have a heavy role in this drama. If you are injured, it will definitely delay the filming progress. I am also for the crew." Xia Tian waved his hand and said.
After hearing what he said, Zhang Ziyi was stunned and then flattened her mouth aggrievedly.
Xia Tian always treats her like this.
It was obvious that I did it for her good, but I didn't admit it, just saying it was for filming and for work. It was so annoying.
"I think he is just a 'Li Mubai'." Zhang Ziyi thought to himself.
Li Mubai frequently lingers with Yu Jiaolong, saying that he is "pleasing her talent", "accepting her as his disciple", and "leading others to be kind", but in fact he has a look of her. Just like his master Jiang Nanhe, as a Taoist priest of the Wudang Sect, he has an affair with the blue-eyed fox.
But he dared not admit it or make a choice. Because he is a hero of the world, he cares about the views of the world and the rules of the world... Therefore, only before he dies, he truly confesses his love to Yu Xiulian.
"No wonder he could write 'Li Mubai' so vividly." Zhang Ziyi thought to himself.
After taking on the play "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Zhang Ziyi not only read the script, but also read the novel "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". She felt that Li Mubai in the script was much more outstanding than in the novel.
She had always wondered why Xia Tian wrote "Li Mubai" so vividly. Now that she thought about it, it was clearly that he wrote himself into the play.
