At almost ten o'clock, when the creative team members were walking out, Xu Xin suddenly saw a few young people blowing fans and hanging mosquito nets in a tent in the corner of the palace.

"Director Zhang, that's..."

Zhang Yimou looked in the direction Xu Xin pointed and said:

"For those who stay to look at things, some props that are inconvenient to take are placed here. Someone has to watch them at night."

"oh oh."

Xu Xin suddenly realized.

I feel deeply for the hardships faced by these crew members... Let’s not talk about mosquitoes. It’s only April now. How hot will it be here if we wait until June or July?

It's really hard work.

When he reached the car, Zhang Yimou said again:

"Xiao Xu, come with me."

"Uh...ok."

Xu Xin, who was about to get into Jinlong, responded and followed Zhang Yimou directly into the commercial vehicle.

Cheng Xiaodong is not here today. Counting Assistant Lin, Assistant Shen and the driver, there are five people in the car.

Xu Xin was sitting next to Zhang Yimou.

The car started and when we were walking back, we heard the other party ask:

"If you were to shoot the scene today, how would you shoot it?"

"Well……"

Following Zhang Yimou's words, Xu Xin quickly flashed back everything he had taken today in his mind.

But after thinking about it, he could only shake his head:

"I... don't know. I feel like there's nothing wrong with your photo..."

"I mean, if it were you, as a director, how would you like to shoot it?"

"..."

Xu Xin was silent again.

think.

After a while, he said:

"Maybe... when I was filming the scenes between Prince Jie and Queen, I wouldn't have designed the overall colors to be as gorgeous as you did."

"What's the reason?"

"The reason... I think the Queen loves Prince Jie very much, right? When you took the photo, the more colorful the picture, the more I felt... depressing. Whether it is the Queen's makeup or the color of the surrounding scenery, it is magnificent and luxurious.

Incomparable, but the more I look at it, the more I feel that all the people in this environment...

Everyone's hearts, including the emperor's, were empty. They were extremely numb, like a group of walking zombies... First of all, we couldn't see the emperor's love for the queen, and the queen had an extremely strong feeling for her son who was not her biological son.

Twisted love. One of his two sons guards the border, and the other is young but not close to his mother. This family...

I think you did a great job in this aspect, that is, using a royal family and a palace that is far more splendid than the Zhou family in "Thunderstorm" to set off this empty instinct. Let the emperor and the queen live in this depressing palace...

It seems that they have lost the desire that everyone should have...or, in other words, they live like a group of zombie-like monsters."

As he spoke, Zhang Yimou frowned.

After comparing the scene with the original "Thunderstorm", Xu Xin said:

"So I was thinking... If the queen who is modeled after Fanyi, the Zhou family's wife in "Thunderstorm" still has a soft heart, then it must be Yuanjie. Yuanjie has a pure mother-son relationship with his mother, and he is filial

, truly caring about the mother... I think the role of the mother does not need redemption, but she needs to retain the last dignity.

And her last dignity should be her son Yuanjie. So... As a mother, when her son comes, the color should be simpler, so that people ignore her identity as a queen, but discover that she is still a queen.

A mother...so if I were to take the photo, I would do it in a simple way...

Or to be more elegant. The queen should be like a loving mother who has washed away her beauty, without any harsh makeup, warm and kind. But later it was discovered that the emperor wanted to harm her, the colors should be very gorgeous, but her clothes should still be maintained.

That elegant look proves that she is struggling. Let her son rebel against her and kill the emperor. Is there any mother in the world who doesn't worry when her son goes to the battlefield?

Therefore, the gorgeous colors represent her status as a queen, but the simple clothes on her body should be her last trace of kindness as a mother. This can reflect the sense of struggle... This is my shooting idea.

"

"..."

Zhang Yimou's brows suddenly furrowed even more tightly.

He had a particularly good impression of Xiao Xu, and this was noticed by everyone in the production team, not to mention the creative team.

Nothing to say.

He was born in 50 years and is now 56 years old. He met such a good young talent. It would be impossible for him not to have the thought of passing on the legacy.

This young man is sensible, good at getting things done, humble, and has a kind of intelligence that makes everyone feel comfortable.

He just wanted to help.

It's not that it will improve his status, but it's purely that I want to guide this young man and prepare him in advance to be a director.

Therefore, the original intention of today is to chat with him about the director's ideas and inspire his own thinking.

Unexpectedly...

Following his words...

Why do you suddenly feel that... what he said is right?

Is there any possibility of exploring the role of the Queen in more depth?

As a queen and a wife, she is definitely unqualified.

But what about being a mother?

Doesn't she have any brilliance at all?

The kind of shackles and shackles that women in the feudal era cannot escape from even if they are queens...

"..."

Subconsciously, he pinched his chin.

His brows were furrowed.

Xu Xin, on the other hand, was quite uneasy.

He didn't know if what he said was right.

But didn’t Einstein say that Lu Xun once said it?

In the eyes of ten thousand people, there are ten thousand Hamlets in the eyes of Harry Potter.

What is the great thing about the work "Thunderstorm"?

That means hundreds of kinds of people see hundreds of things.

Many people can find their own share of sadness among people from the "Zhou" and "Lu" families.

This is also the basic reason why it is a required course for both directors and actors.

But in Xu Xin's eyes, what he saw was Fanyi, a young woman... Oh no, the sorrow of the Zhou family's grandma.

Although he estimates that after the movie is released, there will definitely be fans who come to watch the movie mainly to watch Jay Chou. But in terms of literature... he really feels that the character of the Queen is the most outstanding character in the whole movie, and also

The one with the most profound literary significance.

Of course...he said it, but he didn't have the confidence to think that he was qualified to teach Director Zhang.

That's a joke.

If something comes out from the cracks of someone's fingers, that's enough for them to learn.

But isn’t this a discussion?

Director Zhang doesn't care what he thinks about how he shoots, but wants to ask himself how he will shoot.

The only thing he can think of right now is the depth of the character of the Queen.

So I chose to tell the truth.

only……

Director Zhang, please speak up!

Why did your brows start to wrinkle again?

After waiting for a while and confirming that Director Zhang was thinking about something, Xu Xin quietly took out his mobile phone.

No new information.

The last message Yang Mi sent was the message "Half-step collapse fist, oh ho" during dinner in the evening.

After thinking for a while, he sent a message:
To be continued...
