Chapter 724 Chapter 723, Brother Feng, I want to fall in love with you

Hengdian, Qin Palace
Jiang Feng is here again.

The last time I came here, I was filming the movie "Hero" with director Zhang Yimou. He played the role of an assassin who came to assassinate Qin King Ying Zheng.

This time, Jiang Feng will play the role of Emperor Wu of Han.

Of course, today is the first day that the crew started filming, and according to the announcement, there is no scene with Jiang Feng.

The reason why Jiang Feng came here was to attend the opening ceremony, and by the way, as invited by director Hu Mei, he would observe the actors in the crew and give her some suggestions if there were any actors who were not suitable for the role.

Regarding Hu Mei's request, Jiang Feng planned to do only half of it. He could observe the actor but would not make any judgment on whether the actor was suitable for playing the role in the crew.

This isn't my movie or TV show, so why should I bother to be a bad guy? !
"The Emperor of Han Wu" was invested with 4500 million RMB, which is a high investment in the domestic TV drama industry, so director Hu Mei had the ability to form a super large crew.

Not to mention anything else, there are more than forty martial artists in the crew alone. If you add in the photography team, lighting team, props team, sound team, etc., it’s almost a team of more than 600 people.

When there are more staff members on the crew, the film becomes chaotic. Jiang Feng just stood at the shooting site in the Qin Palace and saw people from the camera crew and the lighting crew arguing.

The photography crew said that the camera should be placed near the window, because setting up the camera near the window makes it easier to capture the facial contours of Emperor Jing of Han and Chao Cuo, making the characters more three-dimensional.

But the lighting team said that setting up the camera near the window would make it difficult for them to provide lighting, because on one side there is natural light, and on the other side there is artificial light, which are basically contradictory.

I don’t know if it was because they saw the two groups were arguing happily, but a few guys from the props team also joined in.

We don't care how your lighting team and photography team coordinate, please make a decision immediately, because your layout and arrangements will directly affect the work efficiency of our props team.

After standing at the door and looking for a while, Jiang Feng turned and left.

It’s not that they don’t want to stay and continue watching the fun, but the smart people among these three groups actually want Jiang Feng to help them get justice.

Ha ha…

Instead of listening to you guys arguing, I might as well go back to Hengdian International Conference Center Hotel and have a good sleep with Gao Yuanyuan in my arms? !

Yesterday, Gao Yuanyuan waited for herself for most of the night, and then until 3 a.m. After breakfast, she went back to her hotel room to catch up on some sleep.

Anyway, there is no scene for this beauty today, so she came to the shooting site just to have fun.

However, Jiang Feng had just come out of the place where the photography crew, lighting crew, and prop crew were arguing, and was about to move towards the square of the Qin Palace, where the opening ceremony of the TV series "Emperor Wu of Han" was being held.

At this time, Jiang Feng heard a very familiar voice.

"Teacher Jiao Huo, the way you walk is wrong. The dragon-like and tiger-like steps mentioned in the novel are just the walking postures of emperors in later generations.

People like Yongzheng and Kangxi could do this.

But Emperor Jing of Han was not like that. You have to know that during the Han Dynasty, no man in China, from the emperor to the slaves, did not wear underwear.

If you don’t wear underwear, you can’t just walk around like that, because if you do, you’ll be completely exposed.”

"Teacher Jiao Huo, it's not okay for you to walk like this. Although your legs are not swinging out, your feet are turned outward and the gap between your legs is too big.

What will happen if the gap between your legs is too large when you walk?

cold!
Chinese people in the Han Dynasty did not wear underwear. When they walked, their legs were too wide apart, and the cold wind would rush in…"

Ha ha…

When Jiang Feng heard Yi Zongtian's voice, he wanted to laugh the first moment.

To be honest, to deal with old artists like Jiao Huang, we still have to rely on professors like Yi Zongtian.

As long as Yi Zongtian presents the facts, explains the reasons, and his words convince Jiao Huang, then Jiao Huang will definitely listen to Yi Zongtian.

Basically all veteran artists are like this, they are strict with others and also with themselves.

Just as I was thinking about it, Ren Wei came running over.

"Brother Feng, the director said that the auspicious time is almost here, and we should go hold the opening ceremony."

"it is good!"

After agreeing, Jiang Feng followed Ren Wei to the square of Qin Palace and stood side by side with director Hu Mei.

In front of Hu Mei and Jiang Feng was a large incense table with cow heads, pig heads and fish placed on it. At both ends of the table were two of the latest models of Arri cameras, both covered with red silk.

It seems that the opening ceremony of the crew of "The Emperor of Han Wu" is relatively formal. After burning incense, there is also a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the camera.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"Let's start. Let's start by lighting incense. You go first, I go second, and the others will follow."

Although Jiang Feng's own crew had never held a start-up ceremony, he had filmed the movie "Infernal Affairs" in Hong Kong Island, so Jiang Feng was very familiar with the start-up ceremony.

For example, in the opening ceremony, there are strict rules and procedures just for the burning of incense.

If there is a producer, the producer will burn incense first; after the producer, it depends on the discourse power. If the leading actor has the most discourse power, then the leading actor ranks second; and if the director has the most discourse power, then the director ranks second.

Therefore, when Hu Mei said that Jiang Feng was the first to burn incense, Jiang Feng was not surprised.

But now, Jiang Feng is still a little confused.

"Director, can I ask you a question?"

"Say!"

"Other crews have hosts for their opening ceremonies, why don't we have one?" Seeing that time was almost up, Jiang Feng hurriedly asked his puzzled question.

"I'll have to ask you about this."

"Ask me..., how do you explain it?" Jiang Feng was puzzled.

"It was agreed two months ago that Mr. Jiao Huo would be the host of the opening ceremony of The Emperor Wu of Han.

But who would have thought that as soon as he arrived at the filming site today, he was pulled away by the responsible Professor Yi Zongtian to receive training on the royal etiquette of the Han Dynasty.

I had originally thought of letting Jiao Huang come over to host the opening ceremony before receiving training, but the old man got angry and threatened to present a perfect Han Jingdi in front of the camera no matter what. "

Uh…

Jiang Feng felt a little embarrassed after hearing Hu Mei's explanation.

In this case, this matter does have something to do with me.

……

Maybe it’s because there is no host.

The opening ceremony of the TV series "The Emperor Wu of Han" was carried out very quickly. It only took half an hour to burn incense, cut the ribbon, and help two cameras to remove the red veils.

Half an hour later, the crew, led by Hu Mei, went directly to the Qin Palace shooting site.

"Clap clap clap..."

Arriving at the shooting site, the first thing Hu Mei did was to applaud.

"Everyone, look here. Has the shooting scene been set up?"

"The props team is OK!"

“The camera crew is ready!”

"There's nothing wrong with the lighting team."

"There's nothing wrong with the radio team."

"Well, good!" Seeing that everyone was ready, Hu Mei, in a good mood, applauded again.

"Since there are no problems, let's start shooting."

As soon as she finished speaking, a female script supervisor standing at the shooting scene raised the clapperboard in her hand.

"TV series "Emperor Wu of Han", Scene 1, Shot 1, Time 1, Ready..., Go."

Zhu Yi, the actor who plays Chao Cuo, said: "Your Majesty must not fight the Xiongnu at this time. You must make it clear to the generals: if you want to fight, you must first stabilize the country."

Jiao Huo: "The army has been wronged over the years. I also understand that those generals are just using combat to improve the treatment of the army..."

At this time, actor Li Danjun, who played the role of Huangmen Ling Chuntuo, walked in.

Li Danjun: "Your Majesty, the generals are already waiting for an audience in the side hall."

silence.

Zhu Yi looked at Jiao Huang eagerly.

Jiao Huang thought for a moment, then said to Zhu Yi: "Tell the generals that I want to see them, but not now. Let them go back first~"

……

There is a fundamental difference between acting in a TV series and acting in a movie.

The screen for showing movies is huge. When the movie is being filmed, if the actors' expressions and movements are slightly out of line, they will be infinitely magnified when the movie is shown, and then appear as flaws in the shooting.

Therefore, when filming a movie, basically every scene has to be polished over and over again.

It is different with TV dramas. The TV screen is relatively small, so even if the actors make a few more small movements during filming, it will be fine.

For example, there is an actress in the mainland with relatively big lips. No matter whether she is filming a TV series or a movie, she has a habit of pursing her lips.

Every time she spoke a line, she would purse her lips. It was said that this iconic action was to cover up her ugly mouth shape.

But because of this habitual action, she, who is already the queen of TV dramas, has suffered repeated failures in the film industry.

The reason why we talked about this was because Jiang Feng, who was planning to stay on the set for a while longer, suddenly felt bored after seeing the performances of three veteran actors, Jiao Huang, Zhu Yi, and Li Danjun.

Their performances were just that.

Basically, it's all about following the plot, rather than focusing on exploring the characters' inner world.

Jiang Feng was about to leave when he lost interest.

Instead of wasting time here, I might as well find a place to study the script of the TV series "Emperor Wu of Han" carefully, and wait until the day of official filming to show off my acting skills.

However, Jiang Feng had just come out of the filming site and walked to the square in front of the Qin Palace when he suddenly felt someone elbowing him. He turned around and instantly saw a bright smiling face.

"Your Majesty is auspicious!"

"Well... this honorific was generally used in the Qing Dynasty."

Seeing that the person coming was Song Jia, who was going to play Wei Zifu, Jiang Feng smiled and started chatting with this 1-meter-tall beauty.

"Long live my emperor."

"From the Ming Dynasty."

"Then, Director, can you tell me how the empress would usually say some words of blessing to the emperor in the Han Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is blessed with great blessings!"

"Ha ha…"

As soon as Jiang Feng finished speaking, Song Jia burst into laughter.

"Director, I feel like you may have read too much of Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novel The Deer and the Cauldron."

"is it?"

Seeing that the beautiful woman was happy, Jiang Feng stopped and looked at her carefully.

Although it is winter now and the beauty in front of him is wearing a bulky long down jacket, Jiang Feng can still tell that this beauty has a really good figure.

"Well, director, how is it? My figure and appearance are pretty good, right? I should be qualified to play the famous beauty queen Wei Zifu in history, right?"

Seeing Jiang Feng observing her, Song Jia not only did not feel offended, but her face was full of joy. Well, she was so happy that she even turned around in circles in front of Jiang Feng.

"Well, what should I say?

You should be considered above average."

Jiang Feng told the truth.

Song Jia is an actress after all. Compared with ordinary people, her appearance is still quite good with the help of makeup techniques.

But if compared with Gao Yuanyuan, Fan Jiuyi, Yu Feihong, Guan Xiulin, Wang Zuxian and others, she can only be considered very ordinary.

Upper middle...

Obviously, Jiang Feng's reply was beyond Song Jia's expectations.

In her estimation, Jiang Feng would at least be polite to her, or simply give her a thumbs up and praise her good looks.

But in fact, it doesn't.

Fortunately, Song Jia is a good actor, otherwise she would not have been chosen by Director Hu Mei to play Jiang Feng's queen Wei Zifu in the play. Therefore, Song Jia simply adjusted his mood and said with a bright smile:

"Director, the reason I came to you is because I want to discuss something with you?"

"explain."

"Let's have a romantic relationship." Song Jia, who is always carefree, is particularly opinionated at this moment.

Without waiting for Jiang Feng to speak, she hurriedly added: "Director, maybe you don't remember clearly, I have already worked with you when you were filming the TV series "Love to the End" in Shanghai.

It was the scene in which you opened, where teacher Xu Jinglei, who played Wen Hui, was sitting on a bus, and you were running hard on the sidewalk next to the road.

And I was sitting on that bus at the time, acting as an extra.

Therefore, I can say with a bit of arrogance that as a director, I, who was still a student at the time, basically witnessed the birth of this classic love TV series throughout the entire process.”

"Well, what exactly do you want to say?" Jiang Feng frowned slightly.

"I've already said it before, I want to fall in love with you. Well, I want to truly recreate the love-hate relationship between Emperor Wu of Han and Wei Zifu throughout their lives."

Having said that, Song Jia took out two things from her bag.

One is an ID card and the other is a physical examination report.

Jiang Feng was not interested in the beautiful woman's ID card. She just wanted him to see her real age.

What interested Jiang Feng was the physical examination report. Based on the conclusion drawn in the report, Jiang Feng could summarize it in four words: perfect virginity!
Eh…

Seeing these in his hands, Jiang Feng just sighed.

No wonder some people say she is a director killer. With her looks and figure, and her frank and straightforward way of pursuing men, which man in the world can resist such temptation?

But, buddy resisted!
Thinking of this, Jiang Feng smiled easily and handed back the ID card and physical examination report.

"Song Jia, right?
I think you may have misunderstood. There was no love between Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, and Empress Wei Zifu.

The reason why Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, married Wei Zifu was because she was beautiful and because her family was not powerful.
