At the beginning of April, the filming of "Water Margin" officially entered the final stage. Except for some scenes in Yanggu and Tokyo City, Zheng Fangla was left for the main plot.
The crew also has a new member¡ª¡ª
An adult Bengal tiger on loan from a circus.
This tiger will appear in the two scenes of "Wu Song Fighting the Tiger" and "Li Kui Carrying His Mother". After being beaten by Wu Song, Li Kui cuts it off, and the two heroes take turns to ravage it.
Of course, that was in the play, in reality, we don't know who abused whom.
In order to prevent the actors from having accidents and causing other scenes to be unable to be completed, the scene where Tiger appeared was arranged to be shot at the end.
Zhang Jizhong also bought 100,000 insurance for Ding Haifeng and Zhao Xiaorui, who played Li Kui, each.
Zhao Xiaorui also suggested asking the armed police to watch the tiger with a gun when filming. If the tiger becomes aggressive, shoot it immediately.
This proposal was flatly rejected by Zhang Jizhong. Tigers are protected animals. People are insured when they die, but it is hard to say if a tiger is dead.
However, this is just a joke. In fact, the crew of "Water Margin" still attaches great importance to safety issues
The reason why the tiger was brought to the film crew in advance was to allow Ding Haifeng and Zhao Xiaorui to develop a relationship with the tiger, so that when the tiger became familiar with them, it would not cause a violent reaction when filming.
When the filming officially starts later, the actors will also be given protective gear, and there will be professionals who specialize in holding forks and anesthesia guns for protection.
There are not many zoos these days, and not many people are willing to pay to see them, so a real tiger is a rare thing, not to mention that this tiger is here to be an actor.
When this tiger arrived on the set, many people from the "Water Margin" set went to watch the excitement.
However, most of the people did not have such a blessing, because Zhang Jizhong specially arranged for guards to prevent the tiger from entering because he was afraid that too many people would disturb the tiger.
Cao Xuan was also blessed by Tuoding Haifeng, who sneaked into the temporary "Tiger Garden" and saw the king of beasts up close.
Before coming, Cao Xuan joked with Ding Haifeng, saying that no matter how fierce the tiger is, it will be useless if it goes up with a shovel.
But when Cao Xuan really stood in front of the tiger, even through the cage, he could feel an inexplicable sense of deterrence and tension. The tiger raised his head and glanced at him lazily, and Cao Xuan felt a little scalp tingling.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ding Haifeng and Zhao Xiaorui are really putting their lives into filming, regardless of life or death.
However, this Bengal tiger didn't stay long in the crew of "Water Margin", because he was too lazy to move when he was full, but if he didn't eat enough, the actor would be in danger.
After interacting several times, the director team decided to change the tiger.
They brought in a new adult tiger from Xinwu Zoo, along with the four cubs that [Li Kui carried his mother] to "kill".
? This time, Tiger probably got the film contract because he was sensible and cooperative after a long time at the public house.
In the days that followed, Ding Haifeng and Zhao Xiaorui went to the "Tiger Garden" to develop relationships with the big and four tiger cubs when they had time, and Cao Xuan often followed along to join in the fun.
?Not only did I feed the tiger a few times with my own hands, but I also did an on-the-spot test of "Can you touch the tiger's butt".
Let's put it this way, thanks to the fact that Cao Xuan touched a little tiger, otherwise Zhang Jizhong would have to find a way to see if he could change the name of the 100,000 yuan insurance to Cao Xuan
"Water Margin" Literary and Drama Group A, Wu Dalang's family
Song Wenhua lay on the bed with a weak face, while Wang Siyi carefully held a bowl of medicine and called softly.
"Da Lang, it's time to take your medicine."
At this time, Cao Xuan and Mama Wang were really outside
After filming this scene of poisoning his husband, Song Wenhua, the actor who played Wu Dalang, also announced that he had finished filming and was about to leave the group.
After getting along for nearly two months, everyone has a good relationship, so they are going to pool money for a meal to send Song Wenhua off.
Originally, several actors who were involved in the Yanggu scene had an internal gathering. Later, when Zang Jinsheng found out about it, he invited some actors who knew Song Wenhua to join in.
Since it is a finale banquet, we must drink some wine to dispel our worries.
Needless to say, the protagonist Song Wenhua, and Cao Xuan was also targeted by everyone because of his intimate scene with Pan Jinlian.
However, it didn't take long for them to realize that they had hit a snag.
It's hard to say who is the number one in the alcohol rankings of various provinces in China, but Lu Province must be ranked in the top three.
But in fact, the drinking capacity of people in Lu Province is not as exaggerated as rumored. Except for a few talented people, most people in Lu Province drink normally.
The reason why people from Lu Province often kill four people in the wine field?, relying on a trump card.
grind!
The wine table culture is prevalent in Lu Province, with various complicated rules. It is normal to drink for four or five hours in a session, and everyone is an expert in protracted warfare.
The same is true for Cao Xuan, let him drink quick wine, he only needs eight taels to a catty, if the dose is less, it may be more.
But if you want to set up a banquet, gossip, and drink slowly, he can drink with you from night to the next morning. The highest record of liquor is two catties and one tael, and beer will accompany you to the end.
It's just that although Cao Xuan can drink, he doesn't like it.
If he is allowed to choose by himself, he prefers Wahaha calcium milk to wine.
In this party, Cao Xuan defeated the two of them with one enemy, and Wu Erlang, who had drunk eighteen bowls, squatted in the toilet of his restaurant and vomited.
Everyone was amazed at Cao Xuan's drinking capacity, but they didn't know that it was just a child's disease.
? If they were drinking locally in Lu Province and playing at home, according to the local wine bureau rules, various toasts were used to delay the time, and two people helped to cooperate, Cao Xuan was confident that everyone would lie down and go out.
So remember, when drinking with people from Lu Province, remember not to play away games. The home game is the best, and the last time is an encounter. And you have to make a quick decision. Don't follow the opponent's rhythm.
Of course, this method is only suitable for people from Lu Province who drink normally
In this battle, Cao Xuan became famous in the first battle.
However, he had a headache all morning the next day, and Li Mingqi felt sorry for him, so he went to the cafeteria to ask for some sugar, and made Cao Xuan a glass of sugar water to make him feel better.
What was even worse was Ding Haifeng, his brain was blown up, and he still had to act hard.
Fortunately, today he is playing the part where Wu Song learns that Wu Dalang was murdered, and his pale and sullen face just fits the scene in the play.
However, Cao Xuan didn't have time to laugh at Ding Haifeng. Taking advantage of the small number of scenes these days, he is training with the martial arts instructor in the crew to prepare for the main event in a few days¡ª¡ª
The Lion House fights to kill Ximen Qing!
There are many discussions in later generations about which of CCTV's four classics was the most classic, and everyone expresses their own opinions, and opinions vary.
But on one point, almost everyone has reached a consensus.
That is the drama of the four famous CCTV novels, and "Water Margin" is the well-deserved number one.
The reason is that the martial arts guidance team of "Water Margin" is the famous Yuan Jiaban. Many important scenes in the play were designed and shot by Yuan Baye, who is known as China's number one martial arts finger.
Of course, Yuan Baye has not yet been hailed as the number one martial arts finger. He will be officially named a god by the "Matrix" series that will start filming next year and the millennium "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
But even so, Baye, who has directed the "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" and "Huang Feihong" series, is also the leading martial arts instructor in Xiangjiang.
Zhang Jizhong claimed to have paid close attention to Xiangjiang three times, and it took him all the time to invite him out of the mountain.
However, I just listen to these words casually, in fact, Yuan Baye has long thought of going north.
Before "Water Margin", he personally acted as the director and filmed a TV series "The Grandmaster of Tai Chi" and the movie "Kung Fu Boy Breaking into Love" to test the waters in mainland China.
It is worth mentioning that the leading actor of these two works is the same person, and Yuan Baye deliberately made him the second Li Lianjie.
And the name of Li Lianjie's second-generation target is Wu Jing!
But no matter what Yuan Baye's purpose is, his joining will greatly benefit CCTV's "Water Margin".
?Wang Jin beats Gao Qiu, Wu Song fights and kills Ximen Qing, drunk beats Jiang Menshen, Lin Chong beats Coach Hong with a stick, blood stains the mountain temple, Yan Qing beats rings and other fighting scenes are all classic scenes.
Martial arts moves, whether fierce, fierce, or chic, are not only beautiful, but also in line with the scene in the play, making the audience excited and extremely enjoyable.
It is said to be assault training, but in fact it is to try what moves Cao Xuan can do, and Yuan Jiaban will adjust the designed movement process according to Cao Xuan's conditions.
Ximen Qing didn't play much, it only took a few minutes, and most of the time he was beaten.
Baye Yuan and the others took less than two days to readjust the martial arts moves in the Lion House.
The filming of the fateful battle between Ximen Qing and the officials is about to begin!
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
ps: The author is the kind of chicken from Lu Province who cannot drink, six bottles of beer, and a little more than half a catty of liquor
? Cao Xuan¡¯s description of drinking capacity was borrowed from a college classmate of mine, from Weihai, who drank the rest of our dormitory by himself at his peak.
