China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 149
"Move faster."

Looking at Huang Xuan, who was wearing thin clothes in the cold wind, Jian Chuanhe couldn't help but urged.

Today's filming is the scene of Chen Yannian's heroic sacrifice after being arrested.

The crew waited for a cloudy and rainy day for this scene, just to create a gloomy and sad atmosphere.

Huang Xuan was wearing a 1:1 restoration of handcuffs and shackles that weighed 20 jin. He was wearing single clothes and shorts, and stood barefoot on the gravel ground of the execution ground. His body was covered in blood that had been painted with oil.

While quietly waiting for the director to announce the start, I recalled every description of the characters in "Standing and Die with Ease—Chen Yannian" that I had seen, and finally gathered all my thoughts on the characters.

From the moment he received this role, Huang Xuan began to read a lot of historical materials to learn about the real Chen Yannian.

In the book, it is written that he is "deep, unsmiling". After reading the script repeatedly and communicating with the director and screenwriter, he regards "young and mature", "integrity and kindness", "ambition" and some "stubbornness" as the main key to character creation.

Today's scene was the last scene of the character in the play. Huang Xuan thought for a long time and asked many seniors how to express Chen Yannian's firmness and calmness before his death.

In the end, he decided to follow He Hua's advice, smile, and face the darkness with a smile.

But before that, he had to experience the pain in this environment that was less than one ten-thousandth of the pain suffered by his predecessors.

After standing for a long time, on the cold sandy ground, the soles of his feet have become numb, and his body gradually became hot under the stimulation of the cold wind, but Huang Xuan's mind became clearer.

"Every unit is ready."

"Start"

Huang Xuan moved forward step by step with difficulty, stepping on the remaining stones on the ground, his body did not respond at all.

He Hua followed Liu Yifei and a group of actors hiding from the camera to watch. Looking at Huang Xuan who had no expression, he exclaimed in a low voice:

"Experiential, there are not many young actors like him."

When the others heard He Hua's praise for Huang Xuan, they all felt a little jealous. After all, He Hua valued him, and they might win the leading role in any of the company's dramas in the future.

Aren't the few well-known people in the company now popularized by He Hua as the protagonists right after their debut?

But at the same time, it is more of a mentality of not admitting defeat: "I can play better than him."

After Huang Xuan walked four or five times according to the director's request, he was sure that there was no problem, and finally it was the last moment.

"Start"

I saw Huang Xuan walked a few steps, and when he arrived at the predetermined place, he stood still, first looked sideways at the distant sky, narrowed his eyes slightly, then turned his head, his face became resolute and calm, and finally, he slowly revealed a smile .

"Card"

The "good" crew and onlookers all applauded for the last scene.

It's really good, much better than the simple smile I said.He Hua was also applauding.

After the filming of this scene, Huang Xuan was admitted to the hospital because of a cold, but this also stimulated many actors, because Chen Yannian was not the only one who had this emotional sublimation scene.

And Chen Qiaonian, played by Bai Yu, was also killed in a similar scene.

The guard played by Zhang Songwen was hanged, Deng Enming played by Wang Chuanjun was brutally killed after being tortured to extract a confession, He Shuheng played by He Ping jumped off a cliff and died during the siege, etc.
Everyone doesn't want their performance to drag the show down.

In late December, except for BJ's plot, the crew of "The Age of Awakening" basically finished filming the other locations.

There is still one month between now and the holiday before the end of the year, and the work during this period will mainly focus on indoor scenes.

Therefore, the crew changed the shooting location again. This time, they chose Zhongshan Film and Television City. The film and television city is divided into four major scenic spots, which brings together the essence of Chinese and Western architectural art. The crew will shoot most of the magnificent indoor scenes here.

For example, the role of the Republic of China delegation participating in the Paris Peace Conference, the role of officials of the Republic of China handling government affairs (Xu Shichang, Wang Daxie), and the role of B University Cai Yuanpei in charge of school affairs after taking office, etc.

But this time He Hua didn't follow, he had other things to do.

As early as August, during the preparatory stage of the TV series, He Hua contacted the Central Academy of Fine Arts and the Shanghai Animation Film Studio through intermediaries, and invited them to make illustrations and animations for "Awakening Age".

The predecessor of the Central Academy of Fine Arts was the National BJ Fine Arts School initiated and established by Mr. Cai Yuanpei in 1918. When they heard that He Hua invited them to participate in the production of such a tribute drama, they were very enthusiastic.

After only a few days, they replied to He Hua, saying that the school leaders were deeply honored that they could participate in such a work.

So He Hua brought the hand-painted paintings he imitated to meet with several leaders and professional teachers of the school.

As the only higher art school in China, the Central Academy of Fine Arts needless to say has professional skills. After understanding He Hua's general intentions, he said that he could draw some finished products and let him see the effect.

After He Hua had seen the finished products they rushed to work, he confidently handed over the painting part to them.

The Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio is responsible for making the illustrations completed by the Academy of Fine Arts into animations.

Now 4 months have passed, and the Shanghai Animation Film Studio has already produced part of the animation. He Hua took Zhang Kaizhou to the magic city to see the effect.

As soon as they got off the plane, He Hua and Zhang Kaizhou met Li Zao from Shangmei Factory who came to pick him up.

He Hua hurried forward to shake hands and say hello: "Director Li, I'm sorry to trouble you again."

"No trouble, no trouble, it should be done." Li Zao was also very enthusiastic.

The factory finally received this kind of project, of course he must pay attention to it.

In the early years, Shanghai Fine Art Film Studio had a very large influence in the industry, and successively produced "Havoc in Heaven", "Nezha Trouble the Sea", "Book of Heaven", "Calabash Brothers", "Lotus Lantern", " Shuke and Beta" series of high-quality animations.

He has won more than 400 awards at home and abroad, and is famous internationally for the animation "ZG School". He was once hailed as the hope of ZG and even Asian animation. Even the famous cartoonist Osamu Tezuka was influenced by his works and embarked on the career path of comics superior.

It's just that with the development of the market economy in recent years, the traditional fixed salary system of the studio has become a shackle for the further development of this large state-owned factory.

In the new generation of foreign animation, the influence of foreign animation is gradually spreading in China, and at the same time, modern media animation production companies are growing rapidly. of brilliance.

In the car, Li Zao and He Hua introduced the current progress:
"The Central Academy of Fine Arts sent an academic team here. We communicated and created, and the progress was much faster. About one-third of it has been completed so far."

He Hua kept nodding his head, communicating with him the details.
