Chapter 2059 Go to Receive an Award First
So Shen Long found Ren Dahui, who also initiated the original version of "Water Margin". He has been the producer of "Dream of Red Mansions", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" in succession, only short of "Journey to the West" up.
When Shen Long explained his purpose, Ren Dahui was immediately happy, "In fact, I have been thinking about this for a long time, and I also want to find you to shoot, but I don't think you have been busy filming "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" for several years, and some time ago I went to the United States to shoot The TV show is over, I thought you had to rest for a while and spend more time with your wife, so I didn’t bother to look for you, I planned to collect some information in advance, wait for you to rest, the result is good, you should come to the door first coming!"
"My daughter-in-law and I had a good time in the United States. You don't know that I can't sit still. The post-production of "Beijingers in New York" has been completed, and it will start playing soon! I have to give myself Find a new job, I was thinking, I have participated in "Journey to the West", "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the four major masterpieces are only short of "Water Margin", you must not hire someone else for this job Shoot!" Hey, I still want to shoot "Jin Ping Mei".
"Who else can I go to but you? This film is reserved for you. Nowadays, only you can make such good-looking martial arts. To be honest, the martial arts of "Water Margin" is better than "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The weight is heavier." Ren Dahui's words are not referring to the scale of the war, and the scale of the war in "Water Margin" cannot be compared with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" anyway.
"Water Margin" is about things in the rivers and lakes, and the proportion of power struggles is greatly reduced. The whole article revolves around the experiences of Liangshan heroes. Should we show these experiences? Naturally, there were fights, from Lu Zhishen punching Guanxi, Lin Chong torching the forage field, to Wu Song beating tigers, to the battles after the heroes went to Liangshan, all revolved around fighting.
"In terms of martial arts, the martial arts style of "Water Margin" is actually very different from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is an upright duel on the battlefield. "Water Margin" is different, except for Lin Chong, Xu Ning and a few military generals with professional backgrounds, most of the others are from the rivers and lakes."
Shen Long took this opportunity to explain his understanding of "Water Margin", "So I plan to introduce Hong Kong's martial arts guidance to the crew, of course not the flying fights in Hong Kong's martial arts TV series, but "Huang Feihong" That kind of hard bridge and hard horse, but free and easy posture, makes people look very comfortable!"
The martial arts guidance of "Water Margin" was created by Yuan Baye Yuan Heping, the world's number one martial artist, with his Yuan Jiaban. I have to admit that Xiangjiang is indeed in the leading position in this aspect. The martial arts scenes in "Water Margin" It is indeed the best among the four classics. It is particularly important that the ratings of "Water Margin" can surpass that of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
As far as Shen Long's kung fu is indeed better than anyone else in this world, but he can't even do the job of martial arts instruction, it's okay to give pointers occasionally, if he operates the whole process, can he still be a director?
"Um,
I think so too, when it comes to playing Jianghu routines, they are indeed better than us! "Shaolin Temple" has real kung fu, but it still doesn't feel as beautiful as in Xiangjiang movies! "Ren Dahui agreed with Shen Long's opinion.
"How do you think about the script? Such a long filming would be a big trouble! I'm afraid it's unrealistic to film 80 or so episodes in one go like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Ren Dahui asked again.
"Indeed, in "Water Margin", there are many repetitions during and after the heroes go up the mountain, just like the checkpoints encountered by King Wu in "Fengshen Bang" on the way to defeat Zhou, and "Journey to the West". Like the monsters and ghosts that the four met on the way to learn scriptures, if we copy them as they are, and shoot every hero’s experience of going up the mountain and every battle, the audience will definitely feel tired and tired of looking at it, so we have to make a choice. !"
"As for how to choose, the key depends on the importance of the characters and their popularity among the people; for example, Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, and Lin Chong are well-known among the people and have a relatively positive image. Their experiences cannot be omitted!" If this is omitted, The audience must scold their mothers.
"As for a low-quality character like Dong Ping, the general of two guns, if he described it in detail, it would easily arouse the audience's disgust, so let's just mention it!" Shen Long still remembered what happened when he was on Liangshan, "There is also Da Dao Guan Sheng , Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming, and Double Whip Hu Yanzhuo are relatively vague images, and they are not suitable for shooting too much, and the audience has little impression of them."
"There is no need to shoot the second half of the conquest of the Liao Kingdom. First, this part does not match the history. Second, this scene is meaningless. The heroes of Liangshan have not suffered any losses. It is better to focus on describing the process of their conquest of Fang La." In history, Huizong of Song Dynasty also sent Tong Guan to attack the Liao Kingdom, but that was after the conquest of Fang La, but it was reversed in "Water Margin"; "In Liangshan hero is a big victory.
"On the death of some Liangshan heroes, we can deal with it more heroically. For example, Lisun Erniang was shot to death by Du Wei's flying knife. We can change it to save Wu Song and die." This can be regarded as a little whitewashing her.
"In the original book, Ruan Xiaoer was defeated and killed himself. In the original book, Ruan Xiaowu was killed by others. We can change it to be caught in a trap and stabbed to death by a bamboo stick. The two brothers desperately supported Ruan Xiaoqi to kill him. Introduce the trap, so that it can lead to the plot of Ruan Xiaoqi wearing Fang La's imperial robe and celebrating indulgently..." When Shen Long was watching TV dramas, he felt that the plot was well handled.
"In the original book, Wu Song had his left arm chopped off by Bao Daoyi's spell, we can change it to be cut off by Fang La, and the plots like Hong Taiwei letting go of demons, Nine Heavens Profound Girl, and Heavenly Falling Stones are all gone. "What kind of fantasy content do martial arts movies want.
Many of these are the plots in the original version. The four famous TV series have all been adapted, and the adaptation of "Water Margin" is the best. Many redundant plots have been removed. The whole drama is clear and capable, and some negative plots of Liangshan heroes have been avoided as much as possible. , so that they can retain a relatively tall image in the hearts of the audience.
Chatted with Ren Dahui a few times, the two sides initially reached an idea to start filming "Water Margin" immediately, and then found the leader together, but before the two of them spoke, the leader said, "I was looking for you, you two go back and clean up. Pack it up and go get an award!"
