Since 1983

Winter, afternoon.

Liao Qianlong, the 25-year-old grandson of Grandpa Zhu, walked into the Xijiao Hotel nervously with his luggage.

Registration number at the front desk, take the key, go upstairs, and look up to see Ge You and Gong Li chatting in the corridor. After a pause, he stepped forward to say hello: "Teacher Ge, Teacher Gong, my name is Liao Fan, and I'm here to report today."

"Oh, four eyes, right? Hello, hello."

Uncle Ge shook hands enthusiastically, and helped Zhang Luo: "You came here by yourself? Then go to the room first, and if you have something to ask the producer, the innermost room."

"Hey!"

Liao Qianlong accepted the teaching with an open mind, and Emperor Gong waved him back and settled down by himself.

In the original version of "A World Without Thieves", there are several generals in Uncle Li's gang, the second child You Yong has not changed, Xiaoye has been replaced by Cao Ying, and the four eyes are played by Lin Jiadong.

Lin Jiadong is an artist of Hua Tsai's company, so Hua Tsai brought it. The role of Four Eyes has no characteristics, and the supporting role of passers-by is now given to Liao Fan.

He graduated from acting in 1997, and it took him a long time to become famous with "Fireworks in the Day", which is a late bloomer.

I was not used to being in the house, and I didn't dare to walk around. The producer came in to greet me, and then at night, I announced the meeting.

In the huge room, there is a long oval table in the middle, and the bosses sit in a circle, surrounded by crew members.

Liao Fan didn't know where to sit for a moment, Xu Fei pointed to the last seat, and he hurried over, a little surprised - the last seat was also served!

"Quiet, let's have a meeting!"

The voice fell to the ground, and there was no sound. Teacher Xu said: "Everyone entered the group one week in advance, and then officially started the operation. The exterior scene is in Gannan, and the interior scene is in Beijing Film Studio. There are four carriages in the shed, about 40 meters long, divided into soft sleepers, hard sleepers, dining cars, and hard seats. main battlefield.

The shooting period is 3 months, and it will be released as a Lunar New Year film next year.

What are you doing this week? Familiar with each other, read the script, maybe Director Xu participated in it for the first time? "

"Well, it's quite interesting." Old Freak Xu said with a smile.

"A World Without Thieves" has no investment from Hong Kong, and naturally there are not many Hong Kong employees.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" took five months to shoot, and Gong Li took a one-month break; "The Unknown" ended earlier, and Ge You and Huang Bo took two months off.

Non-stop came to meet. The policeman was still Zhang Hanyu, and Fan Wei and Feng Yuanzheng didn't have many scenes, so they didn't participate.

After Xu Fei finished speaking, he asked Mr. Xu to speak.

There is almost no meeting of the entire crew in Hong Kong, he was quite novel, and said: "Push me up, I don't know what to say, just make some demands.

Boss Xu and I have reached an agreement on the characteristics of this drama, which is upright without losing the quack spirit. It's hard to describe, it's probably telling a story that conforms to the customs of the mainland, and it also adds the taste of Hong Kong Jianghu movies. "

"No, no, it's mainly about your personal style. If it were generalized as a Hong Kong Jianghu movie, I wouldn't invite you either." Xu Fei laughed.

What's Mr. Xu's style?

Lily!

Ah no! Old Freak Xu is unconstrained, unpredictable, has a thorough understanding of the world, has a high aesthetic, knows how to shoot women, and is often amazing in details.

For example, in "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom", the first person worships the mountain and enters the door. It is a step-up perspective. There is a big chair on the top, and a coquettish and strange woman sits on it.

For no reason, he just thought it looked good.

This is where he surpasses a lot of directors, and his aesthetics are very qualified.

Old Monster Xu said a few words and handed them back to Xu Fei. Xu Fei said, "Today, we will read the script and try a short section first. If anyone has a different idea, please bring it up for discussion on the spot."

"let's start!"

…………

When "A World Without Thieves" first came out, Xu Fei thought it was pretty good. Watching it later, I felt that the setting of the heroine was very awkward, and the lines were also in the second grade.

The man took the initiative to say that he was a wolf, like this: "I'm just a very hungry wolf..."

It's embarrassing.

Let's talk about the heroine. Although Liu Ruoying's acting skills are good, she is not convincing when she plays a female thief. One is delicate, the other is weak, and the third is acting.

Like this line:

"I want my share."

"Your share? That's what I worked hard to earn back!"

"You earned it back? The ticket in Changsha, if I hadn't diverted the police away, would you have left? The ticket in Yunnan, if I hadn't exchanged myself for you... did you fight? You gave them both hands It's on the case..."

You can listen to it, that tone is that young literary and artistic women are deliberately pretending to be tough.

There is also weakness and work.

"From the first time I saw Sha Gen, I liked this younger brother. Anyone who dares to touch him must pass my test first!"

"I'll take care of what I take care of, don't let you in."

? ? ?

From the beginning to the end, she didn't show any ability, she said she was responsible, but she asked the male lead to help everywhere, and finally took the male lead's life into it.

It would be ridiculous to talk big.

It involves a certain logical relationship: a female thief who has been in the world for many years, why does she recognize her younger brother after just one glance? She also protects others regardless, even her own man died.

The original version gave two reasons: one was that Sha Gen had helped her, and the other was that she was pregnant. But the foreshadowing is not enough, it is still abrupt.

And Liu Ruoying and Baoqiang may look like siblings, but Gong Huang and Huang Bo are another matter. On the basis of retaining the main line of the story, Xu Fei made major changes.

"Sacrificing himself in order to realize his wish of being free from thieves", this core is too empty.

That's not what Feng Pants intended, but isn't it that he can't pass the trial... Isn't Xu Fei able to pass the trial...

So be human and realistic.

There is no inexplicable recognition of the younger brother, just to do a good deed for the child in the belly, to complete the self-salvation psychologically, but in the end, he paid the price of his life, but realized the wish of being innocent.

What is it called?

Fate is unpredictable.

…………

"I want my share!"

"Your share? That's what I worked hard to earn back!"

"You earned it back? Did you earn it back?"

"stop!"

Old Freak Xu stopped, and said: "You guys have to quarrel very excitedly, and then very suddenly, don't give the audience time to prepare, Gong Li, you tear off your clothes to reveal the scar on your chest.

By the way, is this burnt with cigarettes? "

"Using smoke, it's better to make a few more scars, which are more hideous. The contrast should be sharp, like ugly blemishes appearing on a particularly beautiful thing, which is horrifying, shocking and regrettable."

"..."

Gong Li rolled her eyes.

Old Freak Xu met each other too late, alas, our aesthetic tastes are too consistent!

Liang Jiahui took a pen to write down seriously, and said: "I feel that it is better not to talk here. She tore off her clothes, and we all don't talk."

"Yes, yes."

Old Freak Xu made up his mind for a moment, a pair of male and female thieves had an argument, and they were arguing about splitting the money. The woman suddenly showed a scar, and everything was silent...

"Then delete the next line, it's unnecessary."

Xu Fei checked that it was getting late, probably read the first two paragraphs of the script, and said, "Let's stop here today, and continue tomorrow morning."

Walking away in twos and threes, he asked, "How is it? Are you still used to it?"

"Yes, this set of working methods is very advantageous, and I want to learn from it in the future." Old Freak Xu said.

"I think it suits him very well. He just does whatever he wants, and often makes a mess of the plot." Shi Nansheng complained.

"Hey, sometimes I can't control myself!"

The three of them left the conference room, and in the corridor, Xu Fei said again: "What time do you usually rest?"

"I've been sleeping late."

"Then go down and have a cup of tea? Sister Nansheng?"

"Okay, I didn't talk about happiness just now."

(besides……)
