The bard joins the entertainment industry

After the press conference, a series of reports began to appear on the Internet and in the media.

Chen Shuo looked at it and found that there was only a very small part of it. After mentioning whether he and Liu Yifei were a couple in real life, he stopped paying attention.

In fact, not only him, but also Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli don't care about exposing their relationship, nor are they worried that their futures will be affected.

Speaking of which, many fans of the two hope that the two can get together.

Moreover, the two of them achieved their current achievements not by the support of capital or fans.

Rather, it was purely by virtue of its own strength that it won the favor of capital, directors and fans.

Therefore, there is no need to worry that the two of them will be affected by this.

But even if I want to say it, it’s not now.

As Chen Shuo said, Liu Yifei is not yet an adult, so it is not the time to talk about this.

If these reporters really asked her again when she was an adult, Chen Shuo would never deny it.

But not now.

Putting these disturbances from the outside world behind him, Chen Shuo began to focus on training and how to make this drama a success.

Ever since Zhang Jizhong asked the two to play the roles of Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu last year, the two have been preparing, and they got the script early.

Chen Shuo has read his script countless times, and even wrote a "Biography of Yang Guo".

All the advantages and disadvantages of the script are also marked, and when the script is read around, they will be put forward for everyone's reference and improvement.

However, this matter is not urgent. The two of them got the script early, but many people have just received it. Not to mention being familiar with the plot, they haven't even read it yet.

You have to wait until everyone has a certain understanding of their characters before doing a script reading to be effective.

Otherwise, wouldn't the script still be a script for a few people, rather than a script for all the actors?

The first thing Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei had to do was set their makeup.

The two of them just attended a hurried interview before, and then Chen Shuo went to film "Initial D" and Liu Yifei went to promote her album, but they never decided on the specific makeup and hair.

This time, the makeup and hair of the two people are decided first. As long as the two characters stand out, the drama will be half successful.

The two set the makeup, and Zhang Jizhong, Yu Min and Zhao Jian came in person, as well as art director Ma Zhongjun, costume designer Wu Haiyan, and prop master Qian Hui.

A group of people, including Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei, personally decided on the outfits of Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu.

Before starting, Zhang Jizhong suddenly asked: "Chen Shuo, in our drama, Yang Guo is going to break his right arm. Are you okay?"

Chen Shuo nodded and said, "Don't worry, Director Zhang. I understand. From the beginning, I was prepared according to Yang Guo's cutting off his right arm."

"Okay!" Zhang Jizhong said with a satisfied smile: "It is indeed a bit difficult to shoot with the left arm, but if you overcome it, our drama will definitely be far better than all previous versions."

Zhao Jian also said: "Since "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was put on the screen, Yang Guo's broken right arm was changed to a broken left arm, which really made it easier for the actors to perform.

But in that case, what’s the point of having a broken arm and no arms?

The arm most people commonly use is the right arm. Except for some special kung fu, most martial arts are based on the right hand and the left hand as a supplement.

In the novel, Yang Guo also practices swordsmanship with his right hand. Even if his left arm is broken, he can still use the swordsmanship and martial arts of the Tomb Sect.

It's different if his right arm is broken. A talented young hero has been deprived of his martial arts skills and has become a loser, and will probably never be able to rise again in his lifetime.

This sense of gap is more despairing than a broken arm.

It was precisely because of this that it made people so desperate after his right arm was cut off.

And under the guidance of the divine eagle, he not only mastered the left-handed sword, but also the extremely powerful epee swordsmanship, overwhelming the crowd as soon as he appeared on the stage.

Only in this way can the emotions of readers and viewers be mobilized to the maximum extent, giving people a hearty pleasure. "

The more Zhao Jian said, the more excited he became, wishing he could transform into Yang Guo and start to overwhelm the heroes with his heavy sword.

Chen Shuo agreed very much with his statement. A broken arm was not just a missing arm.

Only those who have practiced martial arts understand how big an impact a missing arm can have, and the right arm is still the main force.

It was a double blow both physically and psychologically.

Zhang Jizhong said: "In this month of training, you should become more familiar with your left arm. You should practice sword practice, lifting wires, lifting horses, etc., so as to avoid any accidents due to unfamiliarity."

Chen Shuo nodded and said, "Okay, Director Zhang."

As he said, these really need to be familiar with again. Chen Shuo is also accustomed to using his right arm, not left-handed.

It would definitely be a lot of inconvenience to have his right arm tied up for the first time, so I just took this opportunity to experience what it was like when Yang Guo just broke his arm.

While several people were talking, costume designer Wu Haiyan and props master Qian Hui took out their costumes and props with their assistants.

At a glance, Chen Shuo saw a big sword that was nearly a person tall and twenty or thirty centimeters wide. He couldn't help but ask: "What is this? Dark iron heavy sword?"

He was about to stretch out his right hand to get it, but immediately switched to his left hand. When he got the Black Iron Sword, Yang Guo had already broken his arm.

I picked up the sword with my left hand. It was not as heavy as I thought. It was about one pound, so it was already very light.

Art director Ma Zhongjun said: "Yes, this is the Xuantie epee, or one of several epee swords."

Chen Shuo raised the big sword and took a look. The epee was simple in shape, with a round handle and a blade ranging from wide to narrow, and from thick to thin.

The widest part is about twenty-five centimeters, the sword edge is ten centimeters, and the thickest part is five centimeters.

Chen Shuo looked towards the props and saw that there were two other heavy swords of this kind, but they were slightly different in shape, some were more ornate, and some were very simple.

It's just that the shapes are similar. He couldn't help but said: "Isn't this too exaggerated? If this is a real guy, it must weigh hundreds of kilograms, right?"

Props master Qian Hui said: "We have tested that such a large body would weigh nearly 200 kilograms if it were made of ordinary iron.

If high-quality alloys were used, it would weigh at least three hundred kilograms. "

Liu Yifei asked doubtfully: "But the Black Iron Epee book says it is only ninety-nine and eighty-one pounds?

Moreover, according to the description in the book, the Black Iron Sword is not an exaggeration, right? "

This period of time was not in vain. She had read the novel several times, and naturally she had an impression of the Black Iron Heavy Sword in her mind.

It felt like this kind of sword was very different from what he thought.

Qian Hui smiled, picked up a slightly heavy sword and asked, "Yifei, how much do you think this sword would weigh if it were made of iron?"

Liu Yifei looked at it and saw that the sword was similar to Gu Tianle's version of the epee. She thought about it and said, "It must weigh forty or fifty kilograms, right?"

Qian Hui said: "Wrong, thirty kilograms. Such a big sword is made entirely of pig iron and weighs a little more than thirty kilograms. Even if it is made of heavy alloy, it only weighs forty or fifty kilograms."

but……"

He held a normal heavy sword in one hand and an exaggerated version of the heavy sword in the other, and asked: "If these two swords are put together, which sword do you think is more powerful?"

Liu Yifei pointed to the exaggerated version of the sword without thinking, "Of course this sword is bigger."

Art director Ma Zhongjun explained: “It’s not like we haven’t studied how big the epee in the novel should be and what its shape should be.

This is the one we most restored to the description in the novel, but in the end we still made a lot of exaggerations. "

He pointed at the pile of swords as props and said: "From this iron rod-like dark iron epee, to an ordinary long sword, to an epee, and finally to this exaggerated sword, we have all considered it.

But in the end, we all agreed that this kind of sword best embodies the concept of the dark iron heavy sword. "

Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei looked at the several types of swords in front of them. The first one was like a flat round stick, with one end ground into a round shape and the other end slightly thinner for the handle.

According to the description, this sword is the most consistent with the Black Iron Sword, but it is also the most inconspicuous.

The second and third swords are both in the form of ordinary long swords, but one looks like an ordinary iron sword, and the other looks like a bronze sword.

The fourth and fifth handles are somewhat similar to the ancient version, but each has its own characteristics.

The last three are all exaggerated sword shapes.

Looking down, it turns out that the exaggerated sword is more impactful.

Zhang Jizhong explained: “Making TV is not writing novels, and watching TV is not reading novels.

Novels can use words to arouse readers' imagination and give everyone a powerful understanding of a treasure, but they don't need to know what the treasure looks like specifically.

If you want to convert text into film and television, you must be realistic and have something concrete.

Why is it difficult to adapt the drama Bone Dragon into a film and television series? Because his writing emphasizes artistic conception too much.

For example, his sword is cold;

His knife is also cold;

His heart is cold;

His blood is cold...

Hey, this grandson is freezing.

How do you think this was shot?

Jin Yong's novels are easier to film than Gu Long's, but they also have problems. If you want to embody many things in the text, there are too many things that need to be considered.

According to the description in the novel, this is what the Dark Iron Heavy Sword looks like. "

He pointed to the first iron rod and said, "But don't the audience feel ashamed when they see Yang Guo holding this thing?

Is the famous Black Iron Heavy Sword just such a fire stick?

If all the viewers have this idea, no matter how good your acting skills are, Chen Shuo, what's the use?

Filming is not just about the actors' acting skills, it's about the cooperation of multiple parts.

Without a stylist, if you play Yang Guo like this, no matter how good your acting skills are or how popular you are, you will still be criticized.

There is no props master. If you use a branch as a sword, no one will believe it?

In fact, we did a survey before and asked everyone what they thought the dark iron epee looked like.

As a result, even Jin Yong's fans have several versions, let alone those who have never read the novel or the previous version of "The Condor".

In that case, what's the use of insisting on being consistent with the original work?

An ordinary farmer who has never watched TV will subconsciously feel that such a big sword is powerful.

The kind that requires a lot of foreshadowing without any effort at all. "

Liu Yifei said: "But, book fans..."

Zhang Jizhong laughed and said: "Yifei, how many book fans are you talking about? How many audiences are there across the country?

Film and television producers should not only consider a small number of book fans, but also consider the audiences who don’t understand it.

Our show is not just for book fans to enjoy themselves.

Besides, Chen Shuo's Yang Guo also broke his right arm. Which version has done this?

The shocking feeling of holding such a large black iron heavy sword with his left hand after breaking his right arm will definitely be remembered by all the viewers! "

After listening to what several people said, Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei had to admit that what they said made sense.

Chen Shuo picked up a big sword again, came to an open place and danced twice.

That huge body, supported by his powerful physique and strength, made a whining sound as it broke through the air.

Zhang Jizhong, Liu Yifei and others couldn't help but take two steps back.

Even if Chen Shuo is far enough away from them.

Ma Zhongjun and Qian Hui looked at it and said happily: "That's it. Faced with such power, just imagine who can see it and not be amazed!

Holding this sword, Yang Guo defeated Jinlun Dharma King, shocked the Quanzhen Sect, overwhelmed Qiu Qianren, and swept through the Mongolian heroes. It is absolutely convincing.

After watching such a scene, how can the audience still think about whether this sword is reasonable?

Don’t you have to immerse yourself in the climax wholeheartedly? "

Chen Shuo performed two sword moves with the sword, leaned it on the ground and said: "The style of this big sword is okay, but the sword needs to be redone.

The overall weight can be slightly increased, up to five pounds.

Adjust the center of gravity to a quarter of the sword body. "

Chen Shuo pointed to the specific position on the sword and said: "The center of gravity of this sword is too far forward, so it takes a lot of effort to use it.

There is also a sword blade, which does not have such a regular style. It is made with a random hammer, with pits after pits. According to the forging level in ancient times, it is impossible to make such a regular sword.

The blade of the sword can be slightly flattened, and the hilt can be wrapped with a thick cloth to make the whole sword rougher. "

Qian Hui thought about what Chen Shuo described, nodded and said: "I understand, I will let someone make one according to the style you mentioned to see the effect."

The style of the sword was decided, and new props needed to be redone. Next, the two began to try out makeup and hair.

Chen Shuo looked at Yang Guo's clothes. There were roughly ten sets.

From when Yang Guo was a beggar in Jiaxing, to the Peach Blossom Island period, to the Taoist uniforms of the Quanzhen Sect and the clothes made for him by Xiao Longnu of the Ancient Tomb Sect.

The knight's costume after coming down the mountain, the costume for the hero's banquet at Dashengguan, the costume after a broken arm, and the costume of the little dragon girl during the wedding ceremony in the ancient tomb.

It first appeared sixteen years later, and then the costume was used when fighting King Jinlun and being recognized as the Five Masters in the Huashan Swordsmanship.

Every period is different.

The same is true for Liu Yifei, but compared to Yang Guo's costumes, which have their own characteristics, most of Xiao Longnu's costumes are white, with a few in cyan, black, and pink.

After starting the fitting, Chen Shuo didn't have any objections to the clothes, but he had some objections to Zhang Jizhong and the stylist who kept him disheveled.

“I feel that hairstyle should also be an integral part of expressing a character, and the hairstyle of each period should be different according to his different situations.

For example, Taoism has its own rules. During the Quanzhen Religion period, Taoist buns must be worn.

But when he was in the Ancient Tomb Sect, with Little Dragon Girl here and taking care of everything about him, it was impossible for him to let his hair disheveled.

Another thing, when Yang Guo appeared again sixteen years later, he was clearly dressed in a green crown and yellow shirt.

It can look sloppy, but it cannot be absent. "
