Chapter 125 A thousand words are not as good as a scene (7k)(1/2)
Kim Jong-ming really disappointed many people who expected him. In the next two days, he did nothing. He neither helped the crew smooth things out, nor went to the technical team to mention the special effects technicians from South Korea, and even did not do the right thing in the question of having a meal with several starring actors or actors he partnered with.%%
Well, later, after a day's reunion, Li Yuchun, who was holding a concert in another place, rushed to the set. She probably understood that she was the most unlike an actor here, so she took the opportunity to invite all the actors to have a meal on the grounds of inviting Kim Jong-ming to dinner. With this, Kim Jong-ming recognized the actors all.
Then, even Mr. Zhou had no hope for him, because after he recognized everyone halfway through the dinner that night, Jin Zhongming went out to call, and he called until the dinner was almost over. Mr. Zhou asked casually if he was calling his girlfriend? He actually admitted it directly.
"Today is my girlfriend's birthday. I feel sorry for not being by her side, so I chatted for a while." Kim Jong-ming said.
So Mr. Zhou was too lazy to talk to him on his own initiative, but Jin Zhongming didn't say much.
In this way, in the following days, after several auditions that did not start, the costumes finally came in place, and Kim Jong-ming was finally able to start filming his first scene.
However, it is not so easy to start filming costume dramas that focus on visual effects.
Not to mention anything else, a set of ancient costume costumes, from gilded boots to compact python robe inside, and then to the wingless black veil on the head (wings are good at crowns, not wingless, but the two small wings standing up like rabbits are very short), have been sorted out one by one for half an hour. But this is not over yet. The most troublesome thing is a set of golden carved jewelry. This set of jewelry is divided into three pieces, from top to bottom, a carved gold lock hanging on the chest, and a carved gold with a wide palm
The belt, a carved golden pendant hanging under the waist, didn't take long, but each one had to be careful because it was all fragile. In fact, Jin Zhongming didn't dare to move at all after these three pieces, and could only keep sitting straight and let the makeup artist and costumer help. Then another one was a silver-purple gilded cloak covered outside, and a string of specially customized jade-colored Buddhist beads, which were not too many or too few, just one hundred and eight.
Anyway, no wonder Teacher Xi Zhongwen took three days to prepare even though he was prepared.
After the clothing, make-up is more troublesome!
Since this is the first appearance of Yu Huatian in the film, everyone attaches great importance to it. Even though he had a certain understanding of makeup before, Tsui Hark and Zhang Zhiliang still appeared in the dressing room together and discussed with Xi Zhongwen continuously. The makeup was completed several times and removed several times. In the end, Tsui Hark insisted on his "surprise victory" view, which was to paste Yu Huatian's appearance on the Peking Opera facebook! Not only did he have to dye his eyebrows white, but he even had to clean the entire face completely, and then put foundation and oil on one cheek, but he temporarily added a nail-sized scar to one nail on one side of his cheek.
During this process, because of his costume and having to put on makeup, Jin Zhongming didn't even express his opinions, he even had to restrain himself in his words and actions.
Of course, he wasn't just sitting there. During these times, Kim Jong-ming was trying to get into the role, that is, to integrate the characters and plot.
In fact, the plot of the movie "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is very complicated, but the complex things are hidden in the details, and its main storyline is very simple, or from the perspective of the character Yu Huatian, which Kim Jong-ming needs to take the most seriously, the main storyline is very simple.
First, the villain Xichang Supervisor Yuhuatian designed a series of conspiracies. He first used the upright master Zhao Huaian to kill his political opponent Wan Yulou, the governor of the East Factory, and then let the spy play the role of palace maids out of the palace, and deceived the Concubine Wan who held real power. In short, in the early stage, he played everyone in applause, and finally successfully obtained the opportunity to let the entire team of Xichang lead troops to Longmen.
And the goal is exactly the same as the purpose of thieves from all sides gathering together. It is the ancient city of Longmen that only appears every sixty years.
However, after many people gathered in Longmen Inn, first there was a thief in the opponent's camp who looked the same as himself and successfully disrupted the situation. Then, due to his recklessness, the decent master who escaped by chance and was the only person in the entire movie worldview who could fight against Yuhuatian head-on with force with Yuhuatian, Zhao Huaian suddenly entered the game, successfully twisting all the forces of Longmen Inn into a rope. Later, the secret of Yuhuatian's political opponent, hidden in the West Factory, began to work hard to achieve various internal and external difficulties. However, Yuhuatian was arrogant and unwilling to admit that this tactical situation was backward. In the end, Zhao Huaian's design was successful, forcing him, who was originally superior to the game, to hold everything down and then face these people head-on.
However, it may be said that a hint of arrogance similar to Zhou Yu ruined him, or it can be said that the skilled strategist faced the natural weakness of a tactician on a narrow battlefield. It can even be simply summarized as the plot requires evil and righteousness. In short, under a powerful wind and sand, the rain transformed into the fields in all kinds of strength, thousands of skills and all kinds of ambitions, but they can only be buried in the yellow sand.
However, until the moment Yu Huatian died, perhaps his opponent Zhao Huaian might not know what the eunuch leader, whom he hated, really was thinking.
So when it comes to the plot in front of you, what exactly is Yu Huatian thinking about, who is about to appear for the first time? Thinking about this, it can almost be considered as Kim Jong-ming's main task at present.
In terms of the main plot, this scene is essentially about smashing the scene, the West Factory smashing the East Factory. Taking advantage of the killing of the boss of the East Factory, the West Factory Supervisor Yuhuatian personally came to the Dajue Temple where the remaining forces of the East Factory hid in the East Factory to shock the remaining forces of the East Factory! The main purpose is to demonstrate the strength of Yuhuatian.
However, things are not that simple. Kim Jong-ming, who has memorized almost all three versions of the script, can easily detect some extra things.
First, Dajue Temple is not only hidden, but more importantly, the second version of the script clearly states that this place is the family temple of Empress Dowager Zhou in the current dynasty! This is also the real reason why the people in the East Factory hide here! Otherwise, a dilapidated temple would be as tightly guarded as the Longjiang Naval Shipyard?
Secondly, the plot behind it directly points out that at this moment, Concubine Wan, the backer of Yuhuatian, is in the residence of the empress dowager, the empress dowager. What are you doing? I don’t know, but I must be communicating with the empress dowager.
Moreover, Yu Huatian had just arrived here and didn't even say a word. Concubine Wan urgently summoned him to prevent conflict. It can be seen that Concubine Wan, the confidant and lover who had been the governor of the West Factory for half a year, also intended to strengthen control. In the eyes of this Concubine who was transformed into imperial power, Yu Huatian was probably just a "heart-to-heart pistachio" with his pug.
However, when Yu Huatian finally came to Yu Huatian, he should have a clear understanding of everything. He knew that Concubine Wan and Empress Dowager Zhou had limited thinking ability as women in the deep palace, and how would the people in the East Factory become toothless dogs? Although it was a hasty show of force before leaving, they were more concerned about being calm and composed.
Even when he first broke into Dajue Temple and smashed the venue, he probably had the suspicion of making a show for the empress dowager and the imperial concubine to deliberately force the empress dowager to put pressure on his backer, Concubine Wan, thus leading to the summoning of Concubine Wan.
Since that's the case, Kim Jong-ming already knows how to act.
"Xiao Jin, do you want to talk about the words?" Director Zhang Zhiliang, who is in charge of the literary opera, has already started working.
"No, I've been carved down all of them." Jin Zhongming raised his head slightly and looked arrogant, with almost no unnecessary expression on his face except for the rising corners of his eyes.
"Okay, beautiful!" Director Zhang Zhiliang slapped his face and couldn't help but admire. He had been filming the drama for many years, so he naturally knew that Kim Jong-ming was not arrogant to him, but that he had already entered the drama.
"It's really beautiful, what you want is this fearless feeling." Tsui Hark, who was originally tense, also breathed a sigh of relief in the 3D main control room following the off-road truck.
"Repert 5, A Preparation." The record has started to check in. "Start!"
In the back hall of the temple, under the statue of the Heavenly King, a group of managers in the East Factory were walking around to discuss. The outside of the hall was harshly guarded, wearing white clothes and iron armor, the Jinyiwei Guards standing in the forest. From here, you can hear some important words from the meeting from time to time:
"How to write the memorial submitted to the emperor? Let's discuss it."
"Yeah, be careful."
"It's this Zhao Huaian again! We are forcing us to hide here."
“So what if I don’t report it?”
"Not reporting?"
"Although outsiders were present at the shipyard that day, who could pass through us and report to the imperial court? If there is one, he will destroy his mouth. Isn't that simple?"
The camera turned outside the hall, and the West Factory Superintendent Yu Huatian, played by Kim Jong-ming, finally appeared.
This man was dressed gorgeously. In addition to his tight clothes, he also carried a wide silver-purple gilded cloak. However, his expression was indifferent. Only his slightly raised head and slightly narrowed corners of his eyes fully demonstrated his fearlessness. When the camera was closer, his almost white face reminded everyone without hesitation that this was a yin avenge person.
However, such a person walks like a dragon and tiger, with extraordinary momentum. From the angle of the camera, one can clearly see one arm that he swung up with his steps and the other arm that was holding on his waist. Compared to a eunuch, he looks more like a soldier.
At the same time, Sheng Jian, a famous young drama actor in Taiwan Strait and a professional background, was also wearing gorgeous clothes and also had a standard marching pace. He followed Kim Jong-ming with one step, playing the role of Tan Luzi, the second-tier leader of the West Factory.
Further back, eight eunuchs lined up in pairs, lowered their heads and shoulders, closed their sleeves with their hands, and followed the two of them in small steps. Their images formed a sharp contrast with the two in front!
And right in front of the group, a little eunuch from the East Factory clothing trotted quickly, trying to go to the back hall to report the news.
"Very good!" Tsui Hark in the control room clapped his hands with a smile. "I've passed, this kind of momentum is what I want."
"It's rare to take such a relaxed shot." Zhang Zhiliang looked at the shots he had taken before and looked at them.
"Yes." Tsui Hark nodded relaxedly. "I have a premonition that the filming of Dajue Temple today will be very easy, and maybe I can go to Tianmo before dinner."
"Then will you be very relaxed today?" Zhang Zhiliang laughed. "Take the opportunity to have a drink in the evening?"
"You also need to draw a new storyboard." Tsui Hark shrugged. "You drink it yourself."
Zhang Zhiliang chuckled and gestured to the outside. Soon the workers immediately prepared for the next scene. However, he soon noticed that during this period, Kim Jong-ming maintained his previous posture and stood at the door of the back hall, as if he was about to step in the next second. Sheng Jian and the eight extras around him were influenced by him, they didn't dare to relax and rest, and just stood behind him and put on a stance.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Zhiliang raised his elbow and pushed Tsui Hark.
"I'm in the play, I don't want to give up that state." Tsui Hark was experienced. He glanced at him and knew a rough idea, and then immediately stood up. "Old Zhang, go and urge you to go to the camera seat in the hall. I told the little eunuch to hurry up and don't delay his state."
Zhang Zhiliang then stood up with Tsui Hark and began to urge the workers.
"Repert 5, the preparation for the B show begins!" Two minutes later, the playboard was set up by the record again.
"Report! Report to the deputy governor, Eunuch Yu from the West Factory suddenly came here and had already arrived at the Main Hall." The panting eunuch of the East Factory rushed into the back hall.
"Why are the West Factory disrupting the situation?" Zhuang Jie, an old actor who plays the deputy governor of the East Factory, immediately answered the words with his hands behind his back. "What does it have to do with him?"
"A swordsman in the world makes you look like a slight archer and you don't even dare to enter your own door, so you hide here as a turtle."
Before he saw him, he heard his voice first. Yu Huatian's voice was almost at a distance from the voice of the deputy factory supervisor. As soon as this sentence fell, he had already striding to the empty space between the two rows of Taishi chairs. The eunuch from the East Factory hurriedly hid aside.
However, it is obvious that the deacons in the East Factory were deliberately trying to save him. Not only did they not call him a chair, but they all sat down on their own chairs, forcing the West Factory Superintendent who was above them to stand there.
However, as if he had expected it, Yu Huatian waved his cloak with his hand, and a little eunuch behind him immediately came under the cloak with knowledge and took a chair. At this time, his other hand exposed revealed the thing he had previously held on his waist. Unexpectedly, this was not a sword, but a string of Buddhist beads.
At the same time, Yu Huatian, who was sitting sideways on the back of the eunuch, never stopped: "Everyone is here to kill, but he dares to say that it has nothing to do with me, right?"
The whole complex movement was combined with lines with the same complex tone of Yin and Yang's tone, and it was actually done in one go.
"Did you actually sit?" At the same time, the director Zhang Zhiliang, who was sitting in the control room, performed a little confused. What was surprised that he was not so complicated to perform successfully. After all, he also knew that the other party was a movie hero. Although such an outstanding performance was very powerful, it was not particularly rare. What really surprised him was that Kim Jong-ming actually sat on the extra who played the little eunuch, and then his body was as steadily as he sat on a chair, and he didn't mean to stop looking at his performance.
You should know that according to past experience, you have to change it to a real stool at this time.
However, Tsui Hark, the real leader of the crew, said nothing and just stared at the display screen in front of him.
"Huh, why are you here to kill me?" Zhuang Jie's reaction was also very fast. Before the camera in front of him was pushed over, he had already calmed down and held the Grand Master's chair and continued. "It's just that a few rebellious parties came to execute them!"
"Longjiang Navy Review, heavy troops defend" Yu Huatian, played by Kim Jong-ming, sat on the eunuch, and then looked neither happy nor sad, as if talking about small things that had nothing to do with him.
At this time, Zhang Zhiliang frowned slightly again, and he seemed to think something was wrong again.
You should know that, logically speaking, since he was here to smash the scene, he also talked about the death of his old rival Wan Yulou. And reading the script, although he did not directly say that Wan Yulou's death was directly related to Yuhuatian, it must be a trick. Shouldn't Yuhuatian be more proud at this time? In fact, he temporarily commented on the script today, but why did Kim Jong-ming show a dead face instead? What's more, aren't Korean actors used to being artificial in expressions? Could it be that An Shengji's student is actually an embroidered pillow, and the previous awards and flatteries were all bought with money, and the uncle himself read it, it really doesn't look like a person with a reputation.
Of course, although he was thinking, Zhang Zhiliang also understood that he was an old friend who invited him to put out the fire, and it was difficult for him to speak without saying anything. When Zhang Zhiliang turned his head to look at Tsui Hark, to his surprise, his old friend was actually nodding slightly. This expression made Director Zhang, who was actually not low in his level and even higher in literary dramas, suddenly reacted immediately!
So that's it! It seems that I've been a little bit old after not making movies for a long time.
In fact, the performance of a character in a movie in front of the camera is not necessary based on the comments of the screenwriter, or even according to the director's instructions. After all, the director is also a human being, and it is not necessarily absolutely correct. If an actor can grasp the psychology of the character, he can show different performances from the script and the director's setting, but the premise is that you must not only express what the plot needs, but also conform to the character's setting, and also conform to the logic of the plot.
So when it comes to the scenes of Yuhuatian and Dajue Temple in front of you, what is the appearance of this plot to show? Obviously, there is one purpose, which is to highlight Yuhuatian's strength and the characteristics of this person, so that the audience can remember him and have a deep impression of him. From this point of view, it doesn't matter whether Kim Jong-ming smiles or not.
So, does the talisman fit the character's settings? Of course! It can even be said that this dead face without joy or sorrow is better than the original smile because the character Yuhuatian has a great characteristic, that is, arrogance! If you think about this, is Wanyulou worth mentioning in his eyes? If it is not worth mentioning, what about talking about the life and death of ants?
The logic of the plot can also be explained from this arrogant perspective.
Director Zhang Zhiliang is thinking a lot, but the performance between the old actor and the young actor over there seems to be smooth sailing. One scene after another, he filmed the teacup, threw the teacup, cracked the teacup, and listened to the one-legged brick warning Kim Jong-ming was really as if he had understood this character thoroughly. His expression, movement, and conjunction were almost outstanding throughout the whole process, and Zhang Zhiliang was so dazzling.
"The play 5, K-Star Game Preparation! Start!" With a sentence from the scene, before I knew it, the scene of Dajue Temple, which was originally scheduled to end on a day, came to the penultimate act when the sun was still east. The previous ten scenes were only once. It was Tan Luzi, played by Sheng Jian, who was not in good condition after hearing the summoning of the imperial concubine, but this kind of scene did not need to be prepared again. He adjusted it and passed it immediately.
Listening to the sound of hitting the board, Jin Zhongming, who was standing in the back door, took a deep breath, then took a step forward, and the lines began steadily: "In a word, I have to take care of what I can manage in the East Factory, and I have to take care of what I can't manage in the East Factory."
As for this, Jin Zhongming stopped three steps away from the store, and his tone changed even more and more yin and yang: "Terror first and then report, the imperial power is licensing! This is the West Factory!"
The two shots aimed at the East Factory and the West Factory team respectively and pulled them back at the same time. Jin Zhongming was completely immersed in the role of Yu Huatian at this time.
Various designs, various traps, and a scene that made me bored and even depressed, but finally attracted the palace to be trapped at the same time as the empress dowager who represented the supreme imperial power and the imperial concubine.
On the one hand, I thought of playing with these so-called big shots in applause, and naturally I felt a sense of pleasure. But what made me even more excited was that I could leave the capital immediately and leave the dragon gate, and get what could completely consolidate my power, thus contributing to my ambitions.
Therefore, even though his heart is arrogant and his heart is as deep as the sea, the rain can inevitably feel a sense of pride, even beyond words.
From the perspective of the camera, Jin Zhongming raised his head slightly and turned sideways. On the one hand, the light from the corner of his eyes narrowed and glanced at the crowd in the East Factory disdainfully. On the other hand, his eyebrows dyed in light colors and the corners of his mouth could not suppress the slight slight sensation that surged out.
"Is it clear enough?" Unlike the extraordinary momentum of the thirteen words just now, although the tone of these last five words is light, they still seem extremely arrogant.
To be continued...
