Feelings of watching the drama

I became obsessed with stories since I was a child. When I was three years old, I listened to our old man telling "The Sword of the Three Swordsman". The fifth master Jiang Bofang, the old man said "Jiang Beifang". When I opened my face, I was about to die. The stick was sold in Jintai. Jiang Bofang was born. It was the first batch of indomitable literary images that I came into contact with in my life, and it was the same batch as Wu Erlang. I never pay attention to the story. I just need to listen to it. On Sunday morning in elementary school, Shandong Station always broadcast Liu Lanfang’s "The Romance of Zhu Yuanzhang" and then broadcast the cartoon "The Righteous Man". To me, they are all the same. charming. In junior high school, I like to watch Hugo the most, because he wrote the most popular novels. From then on, I began to think about how to tell the story well. Sanmao’s "Dead Fruit" looked like a fake, but I believed it; Bi Shumin’s "Purple Human Figure" seemed to be true no matter what. , But I just don't believe it. I think there are tricks here. In China, the best skill is Wang Xiaobo, but unfortunately he died early. Recently, I read Zhang Dachun's book and felt that this person's skill is not bad, and he can learn from it.

Gossip less, talk about the afterthought:

American dramas have a strong point, that is, fighting the lion and the rabbit. They use all their strength, regardless of the size of the role, and always use good actors. Even if they are a dragon, their words and deeds are all in line with their identity and temperament. , It must fit the characters, the use of the lens, whether it is line drawing or close-up, bird's-eye view or head-up, is all meticulous. We used to talk about "Yi Ke Cai" before, but we haven't seen any film that did it for a long time. The fleeting roles like "Admiral Pan Feng" seem to have been chosen hastily. First of all, there is no temperament. Zixiong's general demeanor, and secondly, the actors have no room for performance. Once again, there is no room for scenes. The general is still a village. Is the lord still good? So the drama is full. "Dragon Set" and "Single" are not the same. Dragon Set has no identity and no role, while Fragile has an identity but no role. Let's take "Admiral Pan Feng" as an example. Pan Feng died even though he appeared on the scene and had no role in the role. , But at any rate, he is also a general. You have to take care of the decent General of General. Besides, this character is set to set off the protagonist. If you shoot him as a bitter, isn't it because you draw your own face? In "Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones," little characters emerge in endlessly, but the pen and the pen are responsive and accountable, busy and not chaotic. A nanny is a nanny biography, and an eunuch is an inner court history. , One by one is vivid and vivid, not much ink, a lot of foreshadowing, arranging embellishment, it is easy to do, with great twists and turns.

Our film and television dramas in ancient costumes are too far in realism, and they are very lifeless when they are dressed up. They are peasants who are hard-hearted, and they are also full-skinned and well-dressed. They can't enter the drama at all. This seems to be a tradition, and I don't understand it. Xu Beihong’s "Tian Heng Five Hundred Scholars" contains a lot of inexplicable gestures and eyes, and the clothes are too clean. You can't see the trouble at all. Those people are nothing like farmers, let alone fighters. If you take this If you look at the painting as a still, it's terrible. The same is true of our film and television series. They look like New Year pictures, with simple lines and bright colors. I can’t imagine how the shoes would not stick to shit, the beard’s oil, and the hair not trembled under the sanitary conditions of ancient times. , How could the clothes be so flat, how could the teeth be so white. . . I can't make it old, and I'm filming some costume dramas. The first time I experienced the charm of being old was watching Kevin Costner’s "Future Water World", which strengthened my aesthetic interest in the future. Later, I watched BBC’s "Rome" and I was impressed by the streets of Rome restored by others. It's so dirty and beautiful, and we seem to have nothing decent except for "Red Sorghum", "Westward Journey", and "New Dragon Inn" that we filmed at Zhang Xianliang's film and television base. The game of "Game of Thrones" involves three teachings and nine streams, each has its own expressions, from head to toe, everything is meticulous, that's all, the most wonderful thing is the greasy, sweaty feeling on the bottom citizens. , I have lived in the urban slums for a long time, and I have the most experience of this kind of labor, and I can't help but admire the production standards of others.

In fact, before I watched "Game of Thrones", I wanted to shoot "Sui and Tang Dynasties" according to this specification and model. I wanted to shoot that kind of realism, without losing the size and realism everywhere. As long as you are a man, you must have a beard and armor. There must be scars, the leather must be worn, the sword must be chipped, the face must be sweaty, the smoky city, the streets filled with dung, the unkempt people, the wolf-like soldiers, and the ashes. The profiled eyebrows, the woman who wants to be covered with lead powder, there is no cruel reality, how can there be the pleasure of competition! Our current costume dramas are all farce, so why can't we make them better? Look at the recent "Guan Yunchang" by Mai Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang, it looks like a stand-alone game, and the scenes in it are all dazzling. Isn't this bullying?

"Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" has something quite commendable, it is called "Wu Xi Wen Sing", this is a word to describe Yang Xiaolou, with his talents and artificial talents, it is like being in a play with one's own body, and acting absolutely. The three martial arts such as "Changbanpo", "Farewell My Concubine", and "Comic Set" were unanimously recognized by everyone. So how do you say this American drama is "Wu Xi Wen Sing"? Because the fighting scenes and war scenes in this play are well mastered, the general action movies are overly focused on the novelty and gorgeousness of the moves, the sharp and swift movements, and they are often distorted. The play goes beyond the needs of the plot and becomes Serve the senses and excite the independent existence outside the story. For a long time, we have been accustomed to the kind of martial art that sees tricks and demolition moves. Whether it’s a hard bridge or a hard horse, or flying over the wall, they all have a certain routine, and they have to go to dozens or even dozens of rounds, as if there are continuations and turns in a fight. . Once, Liu Yinchu gave me a vivid description of a match by Chen Ziqiang in CCTV's "Wulin Conference", which aroused my interest, so I found a few match videos from the Internet, and I was surprised that the real martial arts was So simple, straightforward, ugly and efficient. The martial arts in "Game of Thrones" is not as elegant as we are used to, but it is simple, direct, ugly, efficient, and full of tension. Every action is part of the whole story, and it is not redundant at all. A scene of a lion-wolf confrontation, the two masters fought, Duke Ed was only a momentary thing from drawing his sword out of his sheath to the moment he was caught. Party consciousness. It is this kind of realism that is pursued. In this drama, no matter how high you are, you will only die if you get caught.

Anyone who composes a story cannot do without the five-character mantra, which is called "No coincidence cannot make a book." Therefore, the protagonists of the story are often perished. Fatigue, but it is not easy to change. When I went to Jinan, I chatted with Liu Xipeng about this film during the dinner. At that time, only two episodes were broadcast. I told him it was a good film. Liu Xipeng watched one episode and asked me if the little boy fell from the tower. I was caught by the wolf, and I said that if it was so bloody, I would praise it as a fart, and it would be disabled when it fell, and it was not at all ambiguous. In this play, there is no resurrection pill, no robbery field, no undressing to expel the cold, no breath at critical moments, in short, there are not so many accidents and accidents, everything should happen when it happens, but it happens. "Game of Thrones" is like a historical drama, the plot can withstand scrutiny.

In my heart, there are two types of feature films, one is based on characters, such as "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Indiana Jones", and the other is based on plot, such as "Harry Potter" and "Star Wars". "Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" definitely belongs to the plot, because there is no fixed character for you to watch. The average frequency of killing a king in one episode makes me a little uncomfortable. In only ten episodes, the deer king died of wild boars and wolves. Wang was beheaded and Ma Wang was killed by a sickness. I believe that most of the audience, just like me, would take certain people as the protagonist and think that they are the key players in the situation. However, we are all wrong. This seems to be the first time. It’s great that I am full of praise after I was frustrated as an audience.

Game of Thrones quotes

  • Stannis Baratheon: We march to victory, or we march to defeat. But we go forward. Only forward.

  • Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish: The realm. Do you know what the realm is? It's the thousand blades of Aegon's enemies. A story we agree to tell each other over and over until we forget that it's a lie.

    Lord Varys: But what do we have left once we abandon the lie? Chaos? A gaping pit waiting to swallow us all.

    Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish: Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb; they refuse. They cling to the realm or the gods or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
