Author: Zhen Huan Baifei
Unknowingly, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has been broadcast for 12 years.
However, in the hearts of fans, the elegant Meizhuang of light chrysanthemum, the peony-like Hua Fei, the cold and beautiful Zhen Huan, and the flamboyant Chun noble people are still vivid.
And to make a drama endure, you have to mention the efforts in front of and behind the scenes.
01
Speaking of the fate of director Zheng Xiaolong and "The Legend of Zhen Huan", it is also an accident.
At that time, Zheng Xiaolong's wife liked the original novel of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" very much, and with her best persuasion, Zheng Xiaolong bought the copyright.
But I didn't expect that the adaptation of this novel took a full 4 and a half years.
may be slow work and meticulous work, Zheng Xiaolong fell in love with the adapted script at a glance, and couldn't wait to save up a game and start the national selection of actors for his first costume drama.
The selection of the protagonist is also full of twists and turns.
At the beginning, Concubine Hua, Zheng Xiaolong's fancy to Fan Bingbing, who is known for her beauty, is also fortunate that Fan Bingbing's schedule is too full, and she doesn't have time to take over this drama, otherwise our next dinner drama will have to say byebye.
finally chose one, and was scolded by Jiang Xin again, she felt that the actor acted wrongly, and Concubine Hua was not a pure bad person.
So, she proposed to the director that she try the role of Concubine Hua.
Although the director is not optimistic, he can't bear to discourage the enthusiasm of the actors.
However, Jiang Xin slapped the table and shouted, "Zhen Huan, you", this domineering tone made Concubine Hua vivid.
The director's eyes straightened in an instant, and the Concubine Hua in his mind came out!
Moreover, Concubine Hua played by Jiang Xin has her own soul.
For example, in order to have a child, Concubine Hua stuffed several cucumbers into her mouth, this scene was designed by Jiang Xin herself, and the director was very dissatisfied with it, he felt that Concubine Hua, a noble girl, could not do such a vulgar behavior.
However, Jiang Xin thought that the more rude she was, the more it proved that Concubine Hua wanted to have children, and the two sides quarreled because of this. In the end, the director was convinced, and there was this scene of Jiang Xin out of the circle.
Every time Jiang Xin thinks of eating cucumbers, she thinks about yue, because the prop is not a pickled cucumber, but a pickled cucumber, which is so salty that she wants to vomit!
Fortunately, Concubine Hua made Jiang Xin famous in a fight, and her efforts were not in vain.
Zhen Huan's first choice is not Sun Li, the actor to whom the author and screenwriter of the novel Liu Yuzi belongs is Cai Shaofen, and Zhen Huan's name also comes from Zhen Mi and Guo Huan in "Luoshen" in which she starred in it.
It's a pity that Cai Shaofen was 37 years old at the time, and director Zheng Xiaolong felt that she couldn't play the delicate girl, so she became the queen.
The director liked Zhou Xun, but Zhou Xun's schedule was also full, and Sun Li was finally lost.
It is also this kind of inconsistency that makes a classic work.
02
At that time, Sun Li's line skills were not very good, so she specially invited a line teacher. Unexpectedly, the first scene with Chen Jianbin was sprayed.
"Why are you acting like this?" Sun Li looked at Chen Jianbin with a dark face, and muttered in fright, "I don't know why you acted like this." ”
Then, Chen Jianbin also said, "What do you think about acting, you have to say, don't say yes to your face, behind your back, I play a big name, I don't like such actors." ”
In the face of such hard stubble, Sun Li really wants to quit.
Just when she was decadent, she suddenly saw an interview with Jiang Qinqin, talking about wanting to cooperate with Chen Jianbin at the beginning, Sun Li suddenly became enlightened: If it is not easy to cooperate, you can be a wife, then I can do it too.
In an instant, Sun Li's self-confidence returned.
In order to play this role with a large age span, Sun Li also deliberately opened a new folder, labeling her own mental journey with different colors.
Every time she had a dinner, Sun Li would always disappear while eating, because she had to go back and memorize her lines.
In the play, Sun Li's most admired actor is Cai Shaofen.
Who would have thought that Cai Shaofen, a pregnant woman, would wear flower pot shoes like them, twist their feet together, kneel around together, stay up late together, and eat boxed lunches together.
At first, everyone didn't know that she was pregnant, but later Cai Shaofen had a scene where she was going to get on the sedan chair, and she was faintly a little uneasy, so she told the director the truth, hoping to find a stand-in.
At this time, everyone knew about this matter, and coincidentally, this sedan chair was really broken, if Cai Shaofen was on it at that time, it is estimated that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" would not have good fruit to eat.
However, Zheng Xiaolong was also dissatisfied with Cai Shaofen at first, because her pot of winter melon was so bad, and the classic line was "I am Ulala's Rancid".
The actors in the play can't speak Cantonese, so it is difficult to play with Cai Shaofen, and even the old drama bone Chen Jianbin has to beg for mercy, feeling that he is filming a Hong Kong drama.
However, Cai Shaofen's scene of "the concubine can't do it" completely conquered the director with her acting skills.
The director had no choice but to "wrong" the other actors and find a way to pick up Cai Shaofen's play. is like Tong Guiren, she memorizes the end of Cai Shaofen's every line, and then immediately picks it up.
However, with Cai Shaofen here, the set is a lot of fun.
Every time Cai Shaofen finished talking about her half-salty and half-bland claypot winter melon, everyone laughed so much that they knelt on the ground and couldn't get up. When she wants to go to the toilet, she always raises her hand like a schoolboy and says, "Report to the director, I'm going to Liaoliao." ”
At that time, everyone didn't know what liaoliao meant, and after learning that it was peeing, they all laughed happily.
Then, the elegant saying of liaoliao was popular on the set.
The favorite concubines of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" have all come down, and the only one who is difficult to determine is "Concubine Su" Su Peisheng.
03
Although Su Peisheng only has the line "Chirp, the slave will do it", he has more than 700 scenes, and he is the character with the most scenes in the play except for the emperor.
Although he is a eunuch, he is an indispensable central character in the play.
Therefore, this casting should also be cautious.
At this time, the crew took a fancy to Taiwan's Admiralty actor Li Tianzhu and asked him if he minded shaving his head.
Unexpectedly, Qiong Yao's first male protagonist agreed in one bite, and said, "The actor's hair doesn't belong to him in the first place." ”
At that time, Li Tianzhu thought that he was playing the second male, but he didn't know that he was a eunuch after shaving his head and trying it out.
At that time, I wanted to die, but the contract had been signed, and I couldn't change it, so I could only secretly hope that this drama would not be broadcast in Taiwan, otherwise my image would be ruined.
Although there are not many lines, Li Tianzhu has added a lot of "eye skills" to this role, making the role of Su Peisheng flesh and blood, and also making the audience fall in love with this "favorite concubine".
Li Tianzhu also relied on this role to open up the domestic market.
And the only male protagonist in the play is the director's choice.
But as soon as Chen Jianbin 's makeup photos came out, he was abused by the original party.
Because in the novel, the emperor is as handsome as the king of Guojun, but the TV series has become an old man. Moreover, at the same time, there was also a love story of the fourth master next door "Step by Step".
The comparison between Wu Qilong and Chen Jianbin is really tragic.
On one side is the idol youth group, and on the other side is the middle-aged acting group, and the director was worried that no one would watch this drama at first.
Later, he and Chen Jianbin sneaked to the set of "New Huanzhu Gege" filmed next door to watch, and the two of them smiled and said, "It's better than Huanzhu Gege."
Zheng Xiaolong felt that when Yongzheng ascended the throne, he was already 45 years old, and the successor who was killed from the nine sons could not be stupid Bai Tian, but definitely a superior who was not angry but powerful.
Chen Jianbin is very suitable for this role.
04
is also because of Chen Jianbin in charge, Zheng Xiaolong feels that the tone of this drama is appropriate, and everyone will follow him, so there will be no problem.
And Chen Jianbin always frowns in the play, not acting, but really annoying.
Because every time the filming is finished, the concubines always squeak in their ears and make noise.
And he couldn't participate in the topic everyone was talking about, so he could only escape to "Step by Step" in the factory next door and chatter with his brothers.
The only thing that excites him is filming the bed scene.
didn't expect this bed scene to be filmed in 2 days, all he could do was lie inside, look at the concubines who were sent up, and ask "What's your name".
After 40 rounds in 2 days, Chen Jianbin was lying out of the cocoon.
It is also with their efforts, the director's excellence and the cooperation of the behind-the-scenes staff that there is a timeless classic drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
And in today's era of impetuousness and traffic supremacy, this kind of boutique is really precious.
I hope that the actors in the play will do it and cherish it, and if you should be taxed, you shouldn't sleep, don't sleep, Amen!
