Directed by Guo Zijian and starring Lei Jiayin, Li Xian, Xin Zhilei and Ge You, Guo Tao and Yong Mei, the film "Antiques Bureau Central Bureau" was released nationwide on December 3, which tells a series of adventures that occur when the five-veined heirs make a wish to find out the truth about the Buddha head of Wu Zetian mingtang in the Tang Dynasty.
In the film, Fu Gui, played by Ge You, becomes a humorist and often inadvertently teases the audience. In order to shape the role, director Guo Zijian specially designed a "Mediterranean hairstyle" for Uncle Ge. Guo Zijian told the Beijing News reporter with a smile that Ge You has a personal charm, very ordinary lines, and it is particularly funny to say it from his mouth. Moreover, many of the bridges in the film are improvised by the actors on the spot. In the choice of actors, the director also boldly used actress Yong Mei to play the role of the fierce Shen Ye, and the shape of the explosive head appeared, and the subversive performance brought many surprises to the audience.
Crowds of live improvisations to recognize relatives and shout "Dad"
In movies, actors such as Ge You and Lei Jiayin have their own sense of rhythm when performing, and on the set, the director sometimes makes some adjustments to the script according to the actor's performance.
"In fact, the most time we spend every day is on the script", Guo Zijian said, he himself often changes the script, hoping to make the script exquisite, when the script is given to the actors, they will also have their own ideas, as long as they do not stay away from the original meaning of the script, "I like to improvise."

The scene where everyone recognizes their relatives and shouts "Dad" in the crisis is a collision of several actors on the scene. Guo Zijian said that although there were also in the original script, after Ge You, Lei Jiayin, Li Xian, Xin Zhilei, Aruna and several other actors arrived at the scene, the lighting, props, and group performances were all ready, and their feelings were different from when they read the script, "Even if they have rehearsed 100 times before, it is useless, and everything before the shooting is true, this feeling will appear, you sentence to me, back and forth is particularly fun." Guo Zijian said that when filming, the scene was much longer than it is now, and several actors still toasted back and forth, but because of the length of time, it was streamlined.
Always laugh, because the Mediterranean hairstyle of Ge You is too funny
In the film, Fu Gui, played by Ge You, is scheming, often mixed in hotels, bathhouses, and guest houses, and in terms of styling, he wears a "Mediterranean-style" wig on his head, which adds a bit of humor to the role.

When he first designed the hairstyle for Ge You, Guo Zijian wanted to be a little different from before. Before Ge You's play, either fully bald, or wearing a wig, Guo Zijian felt that these two hairstyles audiences have become accustomed to, he hopes that a hairstyle is between the two, both with the elements of a bald head, but also with hair, he chose the "Mediterranean hairstyle", especially suitable for the personality of this role, more like an acquaintance. "You can see a lot of bosses on the street who are semi-bald, and they are very concerned about their baldness, either wearing a wig or a hat," so Ge You often wears a hat in the film, trying to cover up his baldness.
During the filming process, Ge You, who has his own sense of humor, often makes the opponent actor laugh and cause laughter. Guo Zijian said that he often pops out a lot of funny stems, a very ordinary line, others say nothing, but as long as it is spoken from his mouth, I don't know why it is funny, "This is the charm of Uncle Ge."

In the film, each of Ge You's lines is particularly short, in Guo Zijian's view, that is his style, many of his comedies use this style, will not be very intensive to explode the lines, but a sentence will "laugh to death" you. Guo Zijian said that this is also another way of "literary drama and martial arts shooting".
Yongmei does not play a gentle woman, but incarnates the temperament of Shen Ye
In the film, Wing Mei plays the role of Shen Ye, who is superficially kind and kind-eyed, but in fact he is in charge of the entire kui market and the underground auction house, and acts quite skillfully.

Guo Zijian has seen many of Yong Mei's works before, including "Long Time on Earth", which won the Best Actress Award at the Berlin Film Festival. "She is a very good actress, and the previous female figures were very gentle and virtuous wives, which is the biggest reason why I chose her." Guo Zijian said that the role of Shen Ye in the beginning was a man, but he felt that it was fun to let a man play a very fierce role, if the outside world has been rumored that Shen Ye is a very fierce person, but when the audience sees Shen Ye, but finds that it is a woman, it is interesting. And this woman is still very polite in her speech, but when she is fierce, it will make people very afraid.
Guo Zijian believes that for the strong contrast of this role, Yongmei can definitely grasp it, she can talk to Wish very politely one second, and the next second she can smash Wish's hand.

In terms of styling, the styling team designed a big explosive head for Yongmei, with some very thick strings hanging around her neck, a lot of rings on her fingers, and a large sweater, which is very temperamental. "The audience has never seen such a Wing Mei, and I think she will be surprised when she comes out." Guo Zijian said.
