Directed by Gao Xixi, "Mountains and Rivers Moon Ming" brings together Chen Baoguo, Zhang Fengyi, Wang Ji, Feng Shaofeng and other actors. A few days ago, Gao Xixi was interviewed by the media, although "Mountains and Rivers Moon Ming" is a historical drama, it is relaxed and grounded in describing Zhu Yuanzhang's family life, such as the love between Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma in the play, and Zhu Yuanzhang's deep affection for his children, "In addition to the drama required by the sense of ceremony, a large number of plots we still hope to live, which may be to get closer to the audience, but also let them not be too tired in the process of watching the drama." ”
"Mountains and Rivers MoonLight" has created a lot of grounded characters.
A lot of scenes want to come to life
"Mountains and Rivers And Moons" is a historical drama directed by director Gao Xixi after "The New Three Kingdoms" and "The Legend of Chu Han" for the second time after ten years, and he is good at grand themes this time he talked about the trivia of the emperor's life. Gao Xixi told reporters that taking over this work, first of all, considering that there are not many masterpieces that show the history of the Ming Dynasty, and it is precisely this period of history that has a very important significance for the Chinese nation today, "It was an era that made us very proud, and there were many excellent inventions and excellent literary and artistic works that appeared in that era, including the "Yongle Canon" we see today, Zheng He's voyage to the West... It all happened in that era. ”
In the plot of the first episode of "Mountains and Rivers and Moon Ming", the opening chapter presents the magnificent scene of the Northern Expedition led by the General Daming, the two armies are full of dust and smoke, and the ten thousand horses galloping in a magnificent position, showing the vast war scene of the Hongwu Northern Expedition in front of the audience. However, the series does not progress along the grand narrative, and then tells the daily life of the imperial family: Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty played by Chen Baoguo, this grass-born emperor will call himself "Lao Tzu" in front of his courtiers; Empress Ma, as the lord of the harem, can both take the soles of shoes and make soup; the heroic and awe-inspiring general Xu Da has been in the battlefield for a long time, but he has always been unable to resist the temptation of "burning geese".
Empress Ma personally cooked for Zhu Yuanzhang.
After the broadcast of "Mountains and Rivers and Moonlight", some viewers also lamented that the "daily life of the old Zhu family" was relaxed and lively, "I didn't expect it to be a little funny". In this regard, Gao Xixi said that from the historical data, Zhu Yuanzhang was born of a commoner, and his living habits also came from the people. At the same time, some viewers believe that it is a bit of a joke in the opening scenes of the show. For the different feedback from the audience, Ghosh said: "The crowd is difficult to reconcile, in fact, the purpose is to hope that everyone can enter a big historical drama with ease and seriousness, feel the relationship between the characters, and at the same time let them not be too tired in the process of watching the drama." ”
Unlike the macro historical works of the past, there is a lot of space for friendship between people
In terms of character relationships, "Mountains and Rivers and Moonlight" focuses on the details of daily life, trying to convey some small warmth in the thick history. Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma met in a small time, hand in hand through the wind and rain, the two got along like ordinary old husbands and wives, noisy and noisy; Zhu Yuanzhang learned that his son was angry, and after the courtiers retreated, he jumped up happily; Xu Da, the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the commander of the famous earthquake field, was an old father who was afraid of his daughter. The most attractive thing about "Mountains and Rivers moonlight" is the temperature and grounded structure shown by the characters in the play. Although the script describes the structural relationship between the emperors and generations, it is full of humanity.
Chen Baoguo plays Zhu Yuanzhang.
"The starting point is the temperature, and I hope to shoot the ground and pull the life of the emperor off the altar." Gao Xixi said that for example, Zhu Yuanzhang in the play, he himself is from a grassy background, many living habits are still from the folk, there will not be too many imperial styles. These details are not quite the same as the huge historical dramas of the past. In Ghosh's view, one of the biggest problems in filming a historical drama is that it is afraid that it will be made into an indifferent drama, only talking about history, not about characters. "The reason why I am willing to take over this play is that it has a very rich historical structure and a good character description."
Gao Xixi said that "Mountains and Rivers and Moons" is different from the big macro historical works of the past, and there are a lot of pages that are the friendship between people and people. For example, although Zhu Yuanzhang, portrayed by Chen Baoguo, is a very clever emperor, his life is very approachable. His attitude towards children is no different from that of ordinary people, "The temperature I am talking about is actually that some harem dramas are written very solidly, with a human touch, which is rare in imperial dramas." After "The New Three Kingdoms" and "The Legend of Chu Han", I still hope to make a drama that is more suitable for modern young audiences to watch and think. ”
Chen Baoguo Zhang Fengyi's Junchen drama, many details of their own creation
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had an important role in the early stage of "Mountains and Rivers And Moon Ming", was played by Chen Baoguo, the "emperor's professional household". As he himself said, "I play the emperor without blowing his beard and glaring, not shouting much." Zhu Yuanzhang, who he played this time, is also a very characteristic role, this imposing emperor, and his wife Empress Ma are like an ordinary husband and wife. According to Gao Xixi, when he first invited Chen Baoguo to play a different Zhu Yuanzhang, he readily agreed at that time. "I was very impressed that after he tried on a few costumes, he said that this time the costumes felt different and looked forward to a good performance, which I felt particularly grateful for."
Referring to the confrontation between Chen Baoguo and Zhang Fengyi, a pair of "junchens", Gao Xixi said that when filming, he has always been in a state of "handing over to them", "To be honest, I basically handed over the lines to them, I only need to check how to dim the camera and how to better present their performances to the audience." Because a lot of the details are presented by themselves, some of them are even improvised. ”
Zhang Fengyi plays Xu Da.
Talking about the different stages of Zhu Di being played by two actors, Gao Xixi believes: "The different stages of the role are played by two actors, and maybe they will be more comfortable to complete the process of their age to perform. ”
Gao Xixi especially talked about the actor Cheng Yi, who played the teenager Zhu Di, "At that time, I didn't realize that he was such a hard-working child, very expressive, and I liked it very much after watching it." In addition, the director especially thanked the actor Feng Shaofeng, "When playing the adult Zhu Di, in fact, Feng Shaofeng was very weak. At that time, because of the previous play, he twisted his waist, and our scene needed to be filmed in the hot weather all the time. Therefore, in the process of acting, feng Shaofeng almost exhausted all his physical strength after completing the big drama every day, and he lay on the ground basically unmoving. Very hard, very not easy. ”
