"The Legend of Zhen Huan" is so successful and popular now, and it also encountered a lot of difficulties during filming, and one of the production scenes made director Zheng Xiaolong sad.
Because no one knows what the situation is when the concubine gives birth to a child and how to arrange the scene. There is no record of this in the ancient history books.
So when filming this scene, how the actors should perform, how the scene should be arranged, and how everyone should move, all of these have to be thought about by director Zheng Xiaolong.
The production scene was going to be filmed in the afternoon, but Zheng Xiaolong didn't think of how to direct this scene in the morning, and he also walked around the set after lunch.
In the end, he thought of the tactic of using a sea of people, he believed that there was no shortage of people in the royal family, and more people could highlight the difference between the royal family and ordinary people, and it could also create a feeling of a big scene.
After everything was arranged, Zheng Xiaolong saw a lot of chrysanthemums in the aisle on the way to shoot, so he grabbed a handful of petals and sprinkled them on the quilt.
No one expected that director Zheng Xiaolong grabbed it casually and achieved a classic famous scene.
And this scene has also been continuously interpreted by the audience, some people think it is for longevity, and some people think it is for warding off evil spirits...... There are endless interpretations, who would have thought that this was just a "flash of inspiration" from the director.
Zheng Xiaolong not only has to consider the set layout, the actors' positioning, and performance, but also has to care about the actors' emotions.
Chen Jianbin often made a stinky face in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and was complained by netizens. The truth is that during the shooting, he was really annoyed to death.
When filming the rivalry with Cai Shaofen, because Cai Shaofen's Mandarin is not standard, he often changes Mandarin and Cantonese, which makes Chen Jianbin bitter.
Chen Jianbin can't understand Cantonese, often after Cai Shaofen finished speaking, Chen Jianbin didn't respond for a long time, and finally could only try to find the end of her speech to judge whether to finish the lines, when Cai Shaofen spoke Mandarin, there was no way to answer the words, everyone was amused by her Mandarin and couldn't stop laughing.
Chen Jianbin was also Xi to the back, and joked that he had taken a Guangdong concubine.
Of course, the problem of language will not make Chen Jianbin keep pulling his face. "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is a palace fighting drama, and there are many female characters in the play, and there are more than 20 names and surnames in the play.
During the filming, everyone saluted the emperor played by Chen Jianbin and said goodbye, and as soon as the director shouted, a room of women chatted about the sky, didn't care about Chen Jianbin at all, and even always teased him.
When filming the scene of Zhen Huan's return to favor, he designed an action to dress Zhen Huan, and when he did this action, the concubines who were watching behind him began to coax, and the emperor took off his clothes, and directly made Chen Jianbin shy and asked them to go back to the palace.
Being noisy and joking all day long in the women's pile made Chen Jianbin emo, and the director could only drag him to the crew next door to play basketball to relieve his depression.
There is no way, in order to shoot smoothly, the director has to do everything, not to retain good actors, "pit and abduction" are used.
Li Tianzhu, who played Su Peisheng in the play, was deceived into the crew!
Li Tianzhu was Qiong Yao's queen male protagonist in the early days, and he once won the Golden Bell Award for the Emperor, and he is a very powerful old actor.
When he went to the crew for an interview, Zheng Xiaolong gave him the role of Su Peisheng, saying that this role is very important, and it is a role second only to the male and female protagonists. Li Tianzhu's agent took it happily after hearing this.
But when he got the script and found that Su Peisheng turned out to be a eunuch, the most common word was "chirp", and his intestines were repentant, but the contract had been signed, so he could only act hard.
During the filming, Li Tianzhu also prayed every day that it would not be broadcast in Taiwan. never thought that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" would be liked by the audience after it was broadcast, and Su Peisheng was rated by the audience as the most gentleman role in the whole play, which also made Li Tianzhu open up his popularity in the mainland.
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" encountered a lot of difficulties during the filming process, and a lot of interesting things happened. It's just a casting, and there are many stories in a scene.
The success of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is also the result of the hard work of many staff in front of and behind the scenes, of course, the director plays a vital role, often a whimsical idea creates a classic scene, which is really amazing, and I wish director Zheng Xiaolong can make more excellent film and television dramas.
