Chapter 1986 Director Wang’s Advice

Having achieved this level of excellence in programming, Zhu Jun can almost be said to have developed his own unique hosting style.

Anyway, it’s all about sensationalism. After Sister Ni retired, Zhu Jun became the leading brand of sensationalism in the industry.

This reached its peak when Dream of Red Mansions reunited twenty years later. After all, not everyone is capable of making dozens of people cry.

Of course, Lao Zhao, who deceives a population of nearly one billion, is an exception.

This gathering is worthy of being held by CCTV. A news interview from 20 years ago was actually found by CCTV from the warehouse. A beautiful female host stood on the ruins of the Old Summer Palace and spoke with fierce enthusiasm. Emotion introduced the TV series Dream of Red Mansions.

You can tell that the host at the time, his speaking style and emotion, had a bit of a sense of the times.

People who have watched this piece of news may feel that the style is familiar. Yes, that’s right. The current host of San Fat’s TV station also likes to use such impassioned words to report news.

However, this piece of news is indeed very precious, because at that time, everyone saw the 19-year-old Chen Xiaoxu, the 19-year-old Zhang Li, the 21-year-old Deng Jie and other young and beautiful people. figure.

Of course, it also records from the side what the cram school style of the crew was like in that era.

At that time, everyone lived in a double room with a hot water kettle, an enamel tub, and a plastic washbasin, which could be used to wash faces and clothes.

It seems like someone is still doing laundry. Anyway, at that time, everyone had an energetic and youthful atmosphere.

This piece of news is from the cram school in Yuanmingyuan. It can be said that at that time, everyone had just joined the group and didn't have much time.

Actually, there is also a very short news piece, about two minutes, in which a group of photography enthusiasts came to the Grand View Garden to take pictures. I don’t know what the purpose is. Promotion of the crew?

Or to talk about opening up to related parties, etc. Actors such as Deng Jie, Chen Xiaoxu, Zhang Li, etc. wore costumes and took photos directly in the Grand View Garden.

This was considered a very interesting piece of news at the time. In fact, this time, it also reflected a problem from the side.

That is to say, the crew does not have money. The crew really does not have much money. The money given by the TV station is basically spent early.

All that's left is for the director to find a way to get the money. Later, it was said that a big boss from Qilu took the initiative to invest, and it was a student investment, the kind of investment that did not require any remuneration.

Under such circumstances, the filming of Dream of Red Mansions was finally completed. I remember that sometimes, Director Wang even said that he would take the leading actors to participate in performances, make some money, and then come back and continue filming.

This would be something that would rarely happen in later crews, but it was a true portrayal of the crew of Dream of Red Mansions at that time. Anyway, any news footage that can be preserved from that time is extremely precious.

It can be seen from these shots how much effort everyone put into filming Dream of Red Mansions well.

What an honor it is that a top red expert like Zhou Ruchang in the country, or even in the world, gives lessons in person to everyone. Now, even if you pay for it, other masters may not be willing to come.

The crew also invited calligraphers, painters, and artists to teach everyone how to play piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and practice martial arts in the morning. This kind of professionalism is impossible for the current crew to pick up again, which is why it is impossible for the current crew to film that kind of classic. .

University professors can personally teach you Chinese painting, calligraphy, piano playing, etc. Where can you find this kind of thing nowadays?

It takes three years to film a TV series. Just kidding, three months is enough to give you face. After Bao Dai Chai Feng, Ye Ming, who was originally invited as the finale, appeared.

Because Ye Ming feels that he is just a small supporting role in the TV series, and the finale cannot be justified, and it is a bit overshadowed.

Many people in the crew have contributed much more to this TV series than myself. Therefore, by being the finale, I must be stealing the limelight. Ye Ming will never do such a thing.

Anyway, no matter who is the finale, he will not go to the finale. Being the last to appear as a mysterious guest is already an exception. After all, no one knew that Ye Shitou back then was Ye Ming now, so it was a surprise for everyone.

It would be a bit too much to add the finale during the interview. But even so, the program team gave Ye Ming an opportunity for an individual interview that only the director, creator, and starring actors can have.

Ye Ming sat down, accompanied by Director Zhu Jun and Wang Fulin. Next, Zhu Jun began to interview Ye Ming. Moreover, in a situation like this, if there was any need, Director Wang Fulin would take the initiative to interrupt or explain something.

Of course, for a good manuscript, Zhu Jun is the main interviewer, and director Wang Fulin is a praised character.

Zhu Jun glanced at Ye Ming and said very enthusiastically: "Ye Ming, I've seen you before, mostly on the crew of the Spring Festival Gala. I didn't expect to see you when we reunited after 20 years of Dream of Red Mansions. , it’s really surprising that the former Ye Shitou is actually the current Ye Ming.”

Ye Ming laughed and said: "Actually, I also found this strange. At that time, I wondered why the director chose me?

I still don't have an answer to this question. "Since Ye Ming didn't have an answer and the person involved was also present, Zhu Jun naturally threw such a question to Director Wang Fulin.

Director Wang immediately burst out laughing and said, "Actually, it's fate. The young actor who had been scheduled for the performance at that time couldn't come because of something else, and the crew couldn't wait for him. Therefore, we had to find a suitable one." The young actor stepped forward.

It just so happened that Ye Ming's father took Ye Ming out for a trip and was met by our screenwriter Zhou Ling. After that, Zhou Ling recommended Ye Ming, who was then Ye Shitou, to me.

When I saw him, he was very energetic and smart. He looked like a good actor.

At that time, I took the script and asked Ye Ming to act in that section. His line skills and camera sense were all very good. For a child who has never acted before, his performance was outstanding.

I just felt like this little guy was born to act. Therefore, at that time, I made the decision to let him play a role like Ban'er.

Moreover, Ye Ming in the crew gave a completely authentic performance, which met our needs very well.

At that time, it also made Deng Jie and others laugh. Not once did I laugh. "

At this time, the microphone had already been transferred to Deng Jie. It was obviously better for Deng Jie to express this matter.

Deng Jie immediately said: "Actually, at that time, the director's request for the role of Ban'er was to be shy, shy, and not able to see the world.

But at that time, Ye Ming behaved like Monkey Sun. He could make eighteen tricks out of an apple.

But it wasn't just me who laughed, my grandma and the actor Xiao Xu who were watching the performance also laughed. Even at the end, the director asked that when Ye Shitou was performing, no unrelated people were allowed to appear on the scene.

I'm just afraid that the onlookers will laugh, which will divert the emotions of those of us who are acting. "

Chen Xiaoxu also took up the conversation and said: "It was really ridiculous at the time. He was obviously talking about a country boy, but Ye Ming actually gave off the feeling of Sanmao. He was the kind of person who could make people laugh just by sitting there without performing. kind of.

In addition, he always played tricks during performances and was taught a lesson by the director more than once. "

This is a rare opportunity to reveal his past. Therefore, actors who are familiar with Ye Ming are recalling what kind of state Ye Ming was in when filming the role of Ban'er.

As a result, everyone came to the unanimous conclusion that Ye Shitou at that time was definitely the kind of character who could go to heaven, which was very different from a character like Ban'er.

If Ye Ming could perform such a role well at that time, it would actually be very surprising.

At this time, Zhu Jun suddenly asked a rather off-topic question: "Ye Ming, you are the younger one in the crew. So, based on your experience, do you think the Dream of Red Mansions crew treats you? What impact will it have on the entire crew?

At that time, Bao Dai and Chaifeng were all adults, and their characters had basically been finalized.

If you think about this issue from your own perspective, what impact do you think it will have on your character and your future at this time? "

Ye Ming immediately thought about it and then said very seriously: "I also asked a similar question when I was backstage. In fact, I didn't expect that I was acting, playing games, and acting and filming. To me, it was just a day. Just a game.

It's like that little kid's game we used to do in the country. For example, hide-and-seek, one-two-three wooden man, some of which test wisdom, some test acting skills, etc.

Therefore, at the time, it was just a game to me. After the game explained it, I went home with my family.

Therefore, that experience actually had a huge impact on me.

Maybe because I was relatively young at the time, I felt as if the crew gave me a relatively high platform to consider a problem from a higher place.

For example, at that time, Chen Xiaoxu, Deng Jie and others always had some rare gadgets in their hands. They probably bought them abroad or asked someone to buy them in Hong Kong.

The real impact may be my horizons. I saw a broader space at that time. As for what other things the crew gave me, it’s hard to say about experience.

If you ask a four- or five-year-old child to talk about his experiences, that’s not the case, right?

Therefore, I think that for me and the entire cast, it is a matter of vision.

On the set of Red Mansions, I had access to some of the most advanced things at the time, such as tapes, tape recorders, video tapes, books, cosmetics, and even antiques, etc. These things, if it weren’t for my experience on the set of Red Mansions, I would not have been the same person at that time. , there is definitely no way to access these things.

Therefore, I think that experience is more important, rather than how much impact it has on my acting skills.

At that time, I couldn't say that I had any great acting skills. Maybe it was just like the director said, it was just a true performance. "

Ye Ming didn't praise much for how much help he got from the crew, because it was unrealistic. He was not a starring role and had never participated in a training class.

Therefore, in a situation like that, it would be nonsense to say that I gained some performance experience.

Therefore, on a question like this, Ye Ming avoided the truth and spoke directly about his own experience.

However, Ye Ming was not lying casually. This was indeed an incredible experience for the entire crew.

If they weren't in the Red Mansion crew, it would obviously be impossible to have energy.

Ye Ming was talking about himself, but he also gave a good explanation to the actors and staff sitting here.

Think about it, everyone, this is the same reason. In addition to learning acting, chess, calligraphy and painting on the crew, it is actually more about experience.

An experience that is different from other people's lives, an experience that allows you to see beyond the horizon and reach a higher level.

Just like whether a person goes to college or not, the perspective is very different.

In the same way, those who go to high school immediately have different visions from those who graduate from junior high school.

Therefore, let alone the theory that reading is useless, it is still very useful.

The same goes for acting. The Red Mansion crew is actually equivalent to a university and can teach everyone a lot of things.

Director Wang Fulin said on the side: "Actually, as a director, I don't want you to say how good or good I am. This means that if you don't say that I delayed you for three years, I am already very happy. .

Whatever you can get from the crew is actually obtained by your own efforts. Without your efforts, there would be no TV series that would be called a classic by later generations.

When it was first filmed, many people scolded us, saying that our performance was not good. Later, everyone gradually thought that this was a good TV series.

Later, after various remakes appeared, everyone looked back at the version of Dream of Red Mansions we shot, and found that Wang’s filming was successful, and the actors’ performances at the time were quite remarkable. Therefore, this film TV series will slowly become more and more popular.

One piece of advice I give you is, don’t be angry when I scolded you back then, and don’t be proud when I praise you now. Don’t be arrogant in victory and don’t be discouraged in defeat. Just be yourself, that’s enough. "

This is a piece of advice from an old man in the entertainment industry to the younger generation.
