    Soon after, the crew of "The Young Master" began casting in major Peking Opera troupes and martial arts teams in Beijing.  With the participation of two future famous directors, Xie Tieli and Xie Tian, ??the casting process went smoothly.  During this period, Zhang Zhenhua also discussed with the two directors the shooting methods of martial arts films, how to make the martial arts scenes realistic and beautiful, and had the actors put on costumes and actually shoot some clips.  After it was developed and played, apart from the black and white image, the effect was really good.  In Zhang Zhenhua¡¯s impression, in the early 1980s, after "Shaolin Temple", many mainland film studios participated in the filming of martial arts films.  This kind of movie can basically be called a "martial arts performance film". The main actors in the film are professional martial arts athletes or opera actors with solid martial arts skills. They perform martial arts routines and fights in front of the camera.  This kind of movie does not have high requirements for lens changes in handling martial arts scenes. It mainly uses long shots with few cuts in the middle, so it gives people a real sense of beauty.  In addition to selecting actors, superiors also helped the crew contact a cavalry unit to assist in filming.  As for other aspects such as location selection, costumes and props, it is not a problem.  So, after three months of intense preparation, "The Young Master" was finally launched.  ¡°Despite preparations in advance, the shooting of the martial arts scene has always been far from ideal.  Many actors were unable to get into the mood for a long time, especially in fight scenes, where they frequently suffered injuries due to mistakes, causing the filming process to go haywire again and again.  You must know that film films in this era were still very valuable, so that later actors did not dare to let go of their hands and feet to perform, for fear of wasting resources for the country.  To this end, the crew held a meeting with several key members and decided to divide them into two groups: civil and military.  When filming literary dramas, in addition to studying moves, the martial arts team also asked the actors to practice how to control the strength of the moves.  Zhang Zhenhua came up with a trick at the meeting, asking the actors to practice filling tea cups with water.  You need to practice until you can hit the teacup without causing the water in the teacup to splash out.  Speaking of which, this trick was mentioned when he was watching an interview with a martial arts film crew on TV in his previous life.  Zhang Zhenhua¡¯s proposal was immediately adopted and implemented by the crew.  Not to mention, not long after, the injury rate on martial arts sets really dropped a lot.  In addition to injuries, another problem is the actor's performance.  Most of the actors in the crew are not professionally trained in film performing arts, and it goes without saying that the actors from the martial arts team are.  Those who come from the Peking Opera Troupe always show traces of opera performance unconsciously.  Therefore, the two directors and some professional film actors on the crew patiently taught everyone how to behave as naturally as possible in front of the camera, and taught these amateur film actors how to find the sense of the camera.  In this way, the crew gradually found the feeling in this constant running-in.  Because Zhang Zhenhua has his own job, he cannot always visit the set in person. Fortunately, the film has to be taken back to Beijing for development and printing after filming. Zhang Zhenhua can also take the opportunity to frequently visit the behind-the-scenes production workshop of the film studio to provide some suggestions for the editing work.  During the filming of the movie, Zhang Sheng¡¯s vegetable greenhouse project was also progressing very smoothly.  The first batch of fresh vegetables has been picked before New Year's Day.  According to previous instructions from the central and municipal Party committees, this batch of vegetables was first supplied to several primary and secondary schools in the city.  The central government has ordered vegetable production bases across the country to come to Beijing to learn greenhouse vegetable technology.  With the gradual development of this greenhouse technology, I believe that before long, ordinary people will also be able to taste fresh vegetables in winter.  Zhang Sheng and his team were also commended by their superiors for the success of the vegetable greenhouse and were awarded third-class collective merit.  The pre-production work of the film lasted for a total of three months, and then moved to the behind-the-scenes production process, and the most important part of this was the dubbing work.  I believe that many people who loved watching martial arts movies in the 1980s and 1990s will never forget that one of the most important aspects is the dubbing of martial arts scenes. This method of dubbing martial arts scenes has also spread to Japan and other countries and regions in Asia, such as India.  and Palestine.  It was not until the 21st century that this kind of dubbing returned to its original form and disappeared from the big screen.  Now, this kind of dubbing has not yet appeared, even in Hong Kong where martial arts films still exist.  In this way, "The Yue Family" will be the first of its kind to be dubbed in a martial arts film.  In order to make the dubbing as real and credible as possible and organically integrated with the picture, Zhang Zhenhua, the two directors and the sound effects team staff thought of various methods and kept experimenting.  Half a month later, they finally worked out the results and dubbed successfully.  After going through many twists and turns, "The Yue Family" is finally completed.  On this day, a movie viewing party was held in the small auditorium of Beijing Film Studio. Wang Yang, director of Beijing Film Studio, and other leaders and directors in the factory attended the meeting in person.  Everyone is very uneasy, not knowing what this movie shot by almost newcomers will be like.  Soon after the film begins, there is a scene where the five sons of the Yue family are practicing martial arts in order to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy as soon as possible.  Although they had been mentally prepared, as soon as the martial arts practice scene came out, everyone was stillIt was a surprise.  On the one hand, I am amazed by the boldness and daring of a few people to think and do, and on the other hand, I am also amazed by the real beauty of the martial arts scene.  As the film progressed, everyone was attracted by the storyline and the wonderful martial arts scenes. Director Wang kept nodding his head, already full of hope for the future of the film.  Two days before May Day, Chairman Mao's confidential secretary Ye Yelong came to the Chairman and said, "Chairman, Comrade Zhang Zhenhua sent some movie tickets and asked you to go see a movie on May Day." "Oh?" Mao  The chairman put down the book in his hand, "Is his movie finished? It's a pity that Enlai and the others went to Switzerland for a meeting. They couldn't catch up with the opening of the show. By the way, what is the time on the ticket? Are there any conflicts?"  Ye Zilong looked at it and said, "The time is the first after noon on May Day, but at this time you have to receive the national model workers representatives." "Really?" Chairman Mao sighed slightly, "Then you have to live up to this."  That¡¯s my kindness. Let¡¯s go and watch it if you have time. Then come back and tell me and help me make another appointment.¡± On May Day, ¡°Yue Jia Xiao Jiang¡± will first be screened at several cinemas in the Capital Cinema.  In this era, there was no such thing as a premiere ceremony in China. All movies were arranged for screening by the superior authorities.  Therefore, the crew naturally does not have to worry about this.  However, this is only limited to the country. Zhang Zhenhua¡¯s movie will be broadcast overseas. For this reason, he has already said hello to the crew in advance, and the crew replied ¡°will consider it.¡± After lunch, Zhang Zhenhua¡¯s family took a bus to arrive  Capital Cinema located in Xidan.  At this time, the outside was already lined with people waiting to enter.  Zhang Sheng looked around and asked in a low voice: "Son, is this movie really that good?" Zhang Zhenhua said: "Dad, don't always look at your son with suspicion. After so many years, what I have written  Which one is missing?" Fang Dongmei said, "Yes. Son, I have confidence in you, too!" Zhang Cuihua raised her hand.  Zhang Sheng sighed: "It seems that I, as a father, am really worrying too much. Well, since you all support Zhenhua, son, I also support you." "Thank you, Dad! Thank you!" Not long after, the door of the cinema opened.  , everyone lined up to enter in order, and then took their seats according to the seat numbers on the tickets.  Not long after, with the sound of an electric bell, the lights on the field were turned off.  After a ten-minute press briefing, the official screening of "The Young Man in Yue" began.  At the beginning of the movie, there is a scene of ancient battles. The off-screen narration explains the historical background of the film, followed by scenes of the five sons of the Yue family and martial arts training.  Accompanied by music with "Man Jiang Hong" as the main element, it expresses the determination of the five sons of the Yue family to follow their father to the battlefield.  Zhang Sheng leaned into Zhang Zhenhua's ear and whispered: "Son, I know why you are so confident. It's just that the beginning is already very good." Zhang Zhenhua said: "Dad, read on. There will be more exciting things later.  As the story progresses, the Jin Bing team disguised as the Song Army met Niu Tong, who was also heading to Yuejiazhuang. Niu Tong, who did not know the other party's details, stupidly blended into the Jin Bing team.  ¡ª¡ªBy the river, Princess Silver Bell and her maids were telling the story of their wet nurse. The voiceover sounded at this time the song "Say Lily", which made the audience feel that this princess from an enemy country was actually a very kind girl.  ¡ª¡ªNiu Tong, who accidentally knew the inside story, killed the Jin soldiers who were following him, took the horse and rushed back to Yuejiazhuang to report the news, and became acquainted with the five sons of Yuejia without fighting.  After receiving the news, the Yue family quickly organized the young people in the village to fight the incoming enemy.  Outside the village, Mrs. Yue personally served wine to her grandchildren and soldiers who were about to go to the battlefield.  ¡ª¡ªOutside the battlefield, Princess Yinling, who pretended to be defeated, defeated Yue Yun who was chasing her three times in a row but did not kill him, which made Master Yue very upset.  Seeing the guns, swords and fists exchanging on the screen, Zhang Sheng said: "Son, you turned out to be filming a martial arts film?" Zhang Zhenhua smiled and said: "Yes. How do you like it? It looks good, right?" "It looks good!" Zhang Cuihua imitated.  The characters on the screen kept making fist gestures.  Zhang Sheng sighed: "You! Is it okay to make a movie like this?" Zhang Zhenhua said: "It's okay. And I don't plan to show this kind of movie in China." "Ah?" Zhang Zhenhua smiled, "I usually prepare to show this kind of movie in China  It's released overseas. We are much richer overseas than at home, and the money we make can just support the country." Zhang Sheng nodded, "It's a good idea. And looking at your movie" Zhang Sheng looked around and saw.  Everyone's eyes were attracted by the fierce martial arts scenes on the screen, "It should be good."   Zhang Zhenhua said: "That's right, my vision of your son will never be wrong." Zhang Sheng sighed and said to himself: "I hope nothing will happen!"
