Chapter 2017 Sister Lin, Come on as a Guest
Shen Long is the deputy director of production in the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions". He had to go to such a critical moment, so he temporarily left the crew and brought Xi Cheng to the filming site of "Dream of Red Mansions".
As soon as he arrived at the place, Shen Long called to unload the car, "Ouyang, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Deng, all come to help, take out all the snacks in the car and share them with everyone!" Shen Long knew that the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" worked very hard , so every time I come here, I don’t come empty-handed, and I always spend my own money to buy a bunch of snacks to help them.
"Director Wang, don't talk about me this time. It's almost finished now. Besides, they can't get fat with the food I brought!" Seeing Director Wang approaching, Shen Long hurriedly distinguished. Because Shen Long was reminded of this matter, but Shen Long accepted it humbly and resolutely refused to change it, which made Director Wang feel the same way.
"Ms. Feng, I love you so much, why don't you come to see us more times!" A lively actress said while gnawing on bread, and then immediately met Xicheng's cold gaze, suddenly I didn't dare to say it anymore, so I quickly took the snacks and sent them inside.
"It's costing you again. Hey, they have suffered a lot with me. I want them to eat better, but the funds given by the stage are really not enough." Shen Long didn't bother to emphasize, so those actors He didn't know that he bought these snacks with his own money, but he couldn't hide this from Director Wang.
"Hey, I'm the deputy director of production. I'm in charge of the logistics. It's my responsibility to let them eat well. Mr. Wang, do you think it will take a few days before the filming is finished? I'll book a place in advance and let's finish the filming." Have a good meal, everyone has worked so hard for so long, you should celebrate it." This time, we can't drink too much, because there are too many girls in this crew, drinking too much is easy to cause accidents.
"Yeah, this drama is not easy. It took more than a year of preparation and training, and then it was officially launched in Huangshan. It traveled all the way from northeast to west. Although it is not as far as Director Yang's "Journey to the West", Sichuan, Hebei , Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Heilongjiang... There are ten provinces and cities in total.” In fact, there are 10 provinces and cities, 41 regions, and 219 scenic spots.
"It has been more than four years since the project was formally approved in 1982. The filming alone took more than two years. Now it is finally about to be completed. If all the post-production goes well, it will be released just in time for the Spring Festival. This year's Spring Festival "Journey to the West" will be aired just after "Dream of Red Mansions" in the Spring Festival next year, but unfortunately, if "Water Margin" or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are to be released in the next year, it will be too late anyway!" Dao Wang sighed.
This is a year less than the original history. In the original history, the filming of this drama was not completed until the first half of 1987. "After the filming is finished, you should take a good rest and then consider the other two works. You have worked so hard in the past few years." "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" still needs you to take the lead.
"You need to rest, Xiao Feng. It is said that you are starting your own drama now. Well, I have watched the pilot episode of "I Love My Family". It is a good work; but I still want to ask you to help with the post-production. Especially the special effects, you are still the best in the stage now!" Director Wang was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, even if you don't say it, I still want to get involved. It's my honor to leave my name in a TV series like "Dream of Red Mansions"; anyway, "I Love My Family" was also filmed on the TV station. , when the time comes, it will be a matter of going up and down the stairs, and I did the same in the crew of "Journey to the West." Shen Long was eager to participate more.
"That's good, that's good. At that time, it will be like "Journey to the West". Let me give you the title of assistant director. Anyway, post-production is also one of the jobs of the assistant director.
"Director Wang gave Shen Long a big reward.
"Isn't that inappropriate?" Shen Long hesitated. I deserved the title of assistant director in "Journey to the West". I shot some scenes, but because I was busy with "Journey to the West" and "I Love My Family", I spent relatively less time on the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions", and I only fulfilled the responsibility of the deputy director of production.
"If you don't think it's suitable, I'll let you shoot the shots in the last few days." Director Wang also wanted to try Shen Long's ability, but it was almost over anyway, so he didn't care about wasting another day or two.
"Then I'll...try it?" Hey, this is pretty good, Shen Long immediately became interested, so Director Wang took him to the scene, told him the scene to be filmed today, and Shen Long began to act as the director role.
The crew has been working together for more than two years now, and the main actors are all integrated into the roles, almost needless to say, they performed perfectly, so Shen Long's shooting was extremely smooth.
Compared with the 87 version of the original, this drama also has some changes. Although this version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is well received, it is not without flaws, and the biggest flaw is the treatment of the former alliance between wood and stone.
The whole play seems to have completely changed or even removed the conflict between the good relationship based on "reason" and the former alliance between wood and stone based on "love". .
In the whole episode, we can't see the profound reason for Daiyu's crying and making noise; in the middle part, the plot of Baodai's love is broken; Qianmeng originally wanted to "grace" and planned to choose Daiyu, who was suffering from hemoptysis and was terminally ill, as "Bao's second grandmother". All of these were not only illogical, but also fundamentally changed the nature of Baodai's love tragedy.
So when Shen Long read the script, he made it clear. Director Wang hurriedly made up for this shortcoming with the screenwriter team. Presumably this version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is the same as "Journey to the West", and it will be better than the original, right?
The filming ended smoothly, and when the last shot was completed, many actors, like the senior brother and the second senior brother, felt a sense of loss, and some girls even cried, shouting that they could not bear to end.
But there is no feast that never ends, and in the end they were dragged by Shen Long to the finale banquet. Some of the big guys said, some laughed, and some had tears in their eyes. Although Shen Long tried to persuade them again and again, the big guys still took Pick up the wine glass and find people to drink one by one.
Although he didn't come to the film crew many times, he was deeply loved by the crew members. Naturally, many people came to him for a drink. As soon as Ouyang left, sister Chen came over.
Shen Long sized up Sister Chen and felt that she was still affected, so he sent out an invitation, "How about it, are you interested in making a guest appearance in "I Love My Family"?"
