Of course Feng Yifeng didn't know the way Michelle looked at him when he left, or what Michelle was thinking in her heart. He even didn't know that a seed had been planted in Michelle's heart. When this seed sprouts and grows, he will soon get it.
harvest.
After asking the staff, Feng Yifeng finally found the crew of "Lang Wan Gui" where Wang Tianlin worked. Feng Yifeng had never even heard of this TV series, not to mention watching it in his previous life. This does not mean that this TV series is not famous at all.
Just look at the starring actors Wang Mingquan and Yu Yang, and you will know how heavy this drama is.
When Feng Yifeng came to the crew, he didn't see Wang Mingquan, TVB's treasure. He only saw Wang Tianlin directing several staff members to play with the scenery. "Uncle Tianlin, why is it so quiet here? Isn't it because we are filming that?"
Part [Lang Gui Late]? Where is Sister Wang, and where are the other actors?"
Wang Tianlin rolled his eyes at the new disciple and said angrily: "Are you here to study or to see the stars? [Lang Wangui] The drama has actually been filmed, and today we are just reshooting the ending scenes. So Wang Mingquan will not come.
Yes, he has other things to do."
After Wang Tianlin said it, Feng Yifeng understood. After many dramas are filmed and post-produced, many producers will personally see what needs to be modified. The ending is the most commonly modified part, and many viewers like happy endings.
In order to cater to the taste of the audience, some endings have to be modified. This phenomenon is most common in those dramas that are filmed and broadcast at the same time. This phenomenon happened in "Lang Wan Gui", but it can be modified.
Not much, even Wang Mingquan didn't need to go to the scene to reshoot in person.
"Oh! So that's it, then I won't be able to watch the filming today?"
"Can't you learn if you can't see it? I'm going to test you now. Didn't you say that you have watched a lot of TV series and movies? Let me ask you now, do you think this set is from the era when it was filmed, or is it suitable for that era?
The background of the era." Wang Tianlin put down the work at hand and pointed to the prop master and staff who were still busy and asked.
The decoration inside the studio is actually similar to that of the [Su Qier] crew that Feng Yifeng just left, but it is obviously much more luxurious, with many more props, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. The floor is paved with red bricks, and there are Taishi chairs placed on it.
Wooden round table, wooden stools, and wooden flower pot stand. Just look at it
Knowing that this is the hall of a family, there is a huge mural of "Songs and Cranes Prolong the Year" hanging on the front, and there is a horizontal plaque with "Book Ceremony for the Whole Family" on it. The windows are all decorated with colored glass. It is luxurious and atmospheric.
, needless to say, this is the home decoration that only wealthy families would have in the early Republic of China.
Most of these are made by the magical hands of the prop master. As far as Feng Yifeng knows, the horizontal plaque with "Shu Li Family" has appeared in many dramas. It was originally just an empty frame. The prop master
According to the requirements of different dramas, different banners are installed inside, such as "Shu Li Family", "Shu Xiang Family", "
"Life is prosperous," "upright and bright," "the mirror hangs high," and other different words. Even different ancient costume martial arts movies will use this kind of empty horizontal plaque, but it is filled with something like "Huashan School"
, "Emei Sect" and the like, what is
It is universal. The drama props master said, if you use a new horizontal plaque every time, how much will it cost? It will also block the space. If you use different words in it, it can appear in different TV series. Not only can it be recycled,
It can also save money.
As for those window frames made of stained glass, after filming a TV series, they can be dismantled and replaced with paper windows. Then they can be used in period films. Nothing is wasted and everything is put to good use.
But now is not the time to care about these. He still has to answer Wang Tianlin's question based on his own observations. "In my opinion, this should be the background of the early Republic of China."
Wang Tianlin nodded and said: "Oh! Then what did you base your judgment on? Tell me and listen."
"I based it on the words on the plaque and the decoration of the home. Teacher, you see, these wooden homes were most widely used in the Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. But that mural is different from the one in the Qing Dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty, wealthy households
People rarely use this kind of murals. There are also clocks and antiques placed on the long table below the murals, and the bright ones next to them.
It's just an electric light, or the antique lampshade. In the late Qing Dynasty, electric light was not so widespread, and it was only in the early Republic of China that it was used on a large scale. Since this place is decorated as a wealthy family, it is natural to be able to use electric light." Feng Yifeng said.
He told Wang Tianlin what he had seen and learned, and looked at Wang Tianlin, waiting for his judgment.
"My observation skills are pretty good, and I also know some historical knowledge." Wang Tianlin affirmed Feng Yifeng's judgment and admired his disciple's historical knowledge. "When filming a TV series or movie, no matter what the background is, you must check the relevant information
Historical data. You can’t just stuff things that didn’t exist in that dynasty. Paper was rarely used during the Han Dynasty. Could Guan Yu really hold a paper copy and copy it?
Where do you read the Spring and Autumn Period? During the Seven Kingdoms period, except for the Qin army, iron weapons were rarely used. When did stirrups for horses appear? These all need historical data to support. Even if we are just filming.
, and you can’t forcefully stuff in things that don’t exist, otherwise you will only get doubts from the audience. It may only be a very subtle thing, but often directors and producers will ignore it.”
Indeed, what Wang Tianlin said were common problems in movies and television. Feng Yifeng remembered that there were many things that should not appear in the TV series produced by TVB. When did stirrups appear when people in the Han Dynasty rode horses? Why did those soldiers in the Warring States Period appear?
, actually holding shiny weapons to kill each other? This is because of the deliberate neglect of the director and producer, because of the tight funds, and for safety reasons, they just find random props and weapons to make up for it.
After saying this, Wang Tianlin said nothing more and handed him a script, which seemed to be the script of this TV series. He went to instruct the prop master to make and need the props. He just asked Feng Yifeng to pay attention to the staff.
Place the props, pay careful attention to the details, and see what needs to be modified. This can be regarded as a test of his eyesight.
After looking at the set decorations for a while, Feng Yifeng opened the script in his hand. On the first page were the words "Love is always there in thousands of rivers and mountains". Below there were also the names of producer Wang Tianlin, director Du Qifeng, Liu Shiyu, Xiao Xianhui, Wu Yifan, and Yu Kairong.
There are the names of the starring actors: Wang Mingquan, Xie Xian, Lu Liangwei, Guan Haishan, Li Xiangqin and Liu Dan, etc.
It turned out to be this TV series. This TV series was one of the most influential and popular TV series in the 1980s. Whether it was on TV in the past life or on the Internet in the future, whether it was in Mandarin or the original Cantonese version, Feng Yifeng was
I have watched it many times. In it, Zhuang Mengdie played by Wang Mingquan, and Ruan played by Xie Xian
The love and hatred between Ting Shen are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The young Wang Mingquan's appearance is fresh and refined, permeating the unique cuteness of a girl. Xie Xian's handsome, elegant and gentle appearance, and Lu Liangwei's honest and simple portrayal of Tianya are all
It was spot on, no worse than the ratings of the popular Jin Yong martial arts drama at the time.
There are also the popular theme songs, "Love is always love in thousands of mountains and rivers" sung by Wang Mingquan, and the interlude "The Brave Chinese", which became one of the most widely sung TV main episodes at that time, and also became the first theme song of a Hong Kong TV series.
A patriotic educational song that has been selected into mainland music textbooks. At that time, the streets in mainland China were filled with people with various local accents, but they could all hum in Cantonese with irregular pronunciation. The song has surpassed the TV series itself and is in people's hearts.
Left a deep imprint.
Excited and excited, this is all Feng Yifeng can think and feel now. How exciting is it that he has the opportunity to see the whole process of filming this TV series? It seems that his luck is really good.
Today I am not only lucky to have Wang Tianlin as my teacher, but also to watch the performance of the most popular Hua Dan Wang Mingquan. Just thinking about it makes Feng Yifeng unable to sleep tonight.
"Uncle Tianlin, are you really going to start filming this TV series? This is a very good TV series." Shivering came up behind Wang Tianlin with the script and asked.
"What? Do you know this TV series?"
"No, it's not. I just saw the names of Wang Mingquan and Xie Xian on the cast list, and I was a little excited." I almost let it slip. I just picked up the script and didn't even read it. How dare you say this?
very good.
"This is another task for you. Read the script, but you can't take it back to read. After all, the filming hasn't started yet, and the script is not allowed to be taken out of the company. I will show you some old scripts later. After you finish reading
, write out the key points of each script. I will also ask you some related questions. Don’t underestimate the role of the script. This is the most important step in filming.” Teacher Wang Tianlin is really too conscientious.
Now that I have entered the role, I have begun to teach Feng Yifeng how to go about filming the first part.
Feng Yifeng carefully held the script and nodded: "I know, script, script, the foundation of a play. Without a script, you can't make a good film, whether it's a TV series or a movie, it's the same."
"Well! You are right. You have this kind of consciousness, which is already very good. But how to write a script and what are the basics of a script? You can ask Wang Jing about these. He has written more scripts than me.
I still have a lot of say in this aspect. I'm just afraid that you will be blackmailed by him. This guy likes these things and makes the most of it." Although he kept scolding Wang Jing for not making progress, Wang Tianlin was still concerned about his son's ability.
For sure.
"Uncle Tianlin, I would like to treat you to a meal tonight. It will be regarded as an apprenticeship banquet. You must come."
"I don't care about this. As long as you can sincerely learn it, keep what I teach you in your heart, and use your talents in the future."
"How can this be done? I have asked Brother Jing to make a reservation. You are my teacher after all. If I can't even invite you to a simple apprenticeship banquet, I, a disciple, will be said to be disrespectful of my teacher.
Zhongdao. And this time it’s just a simple meal, so just go there once!”
Seeing Feng Yifeng's sincere expression, Wang Tianlin couldn't refuse. As an apprentice, it's normal to treat the master to dinner. "Okay! But don't be too extravagant, just a simple home-cooked meal. I'm not teaching you for fancy.
If you invite me to dinner, you can’t learn well or have no talent. Even if you invite me to dinner every day, I won’t teach you anymore. You must remember this. The master leads you in, and cultivation is personal.”...
