"Bright Sword": The poor crew filmed a classic, drank half a bottle of Erguotou and filmed Li Yunlong well.
However, the crew only got 9 million investment. With such a shortage of funds, it is difficult to find a good actor. The director immediately thought that Tang Guoqiang, a powerful old actor who often plays the role of chairman, would play the soul figure "Li Yunlong" in "Sword of the Immortal", with an offer price of 6,543.8+0,000 yuan. In the end, Tang Guoqiang refused on the grounds that the remuneration was too small.
Later, the director found Li Youbin again. After reading the script carefully, Li Youbin liked the role of "Li Yunlong" very much, but he was 46 years old at that time. Although his acting skills are profound, there are 30 episodes in the whole drama, of which 17 episodes are all in the war, which is a great test of physical strength. Moreover, it was shot in the sub-zero ice and snow, and the bad environment can be imagined! Besides, there are so many lines in the role of "Li Yunlong" that Li Youbin refused the invitation of the director for fear that his physical strength could not resist him. Moreover, no matter how strong Li Youbin is, he doesn't want to play the role that Tang Guoqiang doesn't want to play.
Fortunately, Li Youbin's wife, Shi Lanya, also liked Li Yunlong in this drama after watching it, and tried her best to persuade her that only you are suitable to play the role of "Li Yunlong", so you must take this drama! This is really a rare opportunity! As an actor, Shi Lanya knows that "Li Yunlong" is a very rare role, and the role of Li Yunlong is not only real but also very rich and substantial! Persuaded by his wife, Li Youbin decided to play the role of Li Yunlong! Meet this challenge.
65438+At the end of February 2004, everything was ready, and the cast of "Bright Sword" was officially launched in Shanxi. Although there are many twists and turns in this role, the more difficult test has just begun. Because of the word "poor", the total investment of the whole crew is only 9 million. After deducting the actor's remuneration, there is not much money in the later period. There is no money to buy a camera, so we have to rent a camera to take close-ups The crew dare not delay for a moment, and the shooting time is very tight. The actors shoot from morning till night every day. In order to restore the real scene as much as possible, the crew arranged the shooting point in a deserted village, which was in the cold winter of December and covered with snow everywhere. In this way, we took pictures in an old courtyard where no one lived, and we saw that the snow scenes in the play were all real snow!
The harsh and crude shooting environment not only tests the endurance of actors, but also tests the machines. Sometimes because the temperature is too low, the camera can't be turned on, and the actor has to find firewood to warm the machine. Only in this way can the machine be turned on and continue to work. In the whole crew, not only the living environment is bad, but also the food is uncomfortable. Because they are often too busy to catch up with the play, the box lunch is cold, and it is extravagant to want a hot meal. Sometimes, if they catch a sandstorm, they have to take a bite of food.
Although the shooting conditions are poor, in order to catch up with the schedule and save money, the crew will shoot an episode every four days on average, with almost no rest time. As the first actor in the play, he has the most scenes and can't stop. Li Youbin is overloaded.
Not only take the lead, but also shout, rush and recite a lot of lines. Nothing is not manual labor. When shooting the scene of attacking Ping 'an County and rescuing Xiuqin, Li Youbin only shouted "Fire" for three days in a row in order to film Li Yunlong's heartbreaking pain of losing his lover. After filming this scene, Li Youbin didn't recover for a long time, and even cried while sleeping.
There was also a banquet hosted by Chu, just as Li Youbin was sick and had a fever, and he was still shivering with cold in a three-layer military coat. In order not to affect the filming progress, Li Youbin poured himself half a bottle of spirit Erguotou, and Zhang Guangbei reached out and touched it, which made the whole person anxious. In Zhang Guangbei's words, Li Youbin is almost on the verge of collapse.
At the end of the performance, Li Youbin had deep feelings for the role of "Li Yunlong". He thinks he's Li Yunlong. As a result, he made a decision that surprised the director. He decided to play the play in friendship and didn't ask the crew for a penny!
In 2005, Liang Jian finally ushered in the first broadcast on CCTV. Once broadcast, it was a blockbuster, popular all over the country, and won the annual CCTV viewing champion. According to the incomplete statistics of the media, Liang Jian has been broadcast more than 3,000 times on major TV stations in the past five years, which can make the audience's eyes red every time. He is not the "old woman with two guns" in other anti-war dramas. Only the blood and cruelty of war, because his truth is respected by the audience. If you can easily abuse ghosts with boots, darts, make-up on your face and wax your head, how can we tell the younger generation how our Chinese nation achieved our happy life after the arduous war of resistance in 14 and the great national sacrifice of 35 million compatriots? How dare we face the revolutionary martyrs who died heroically for the war of resistance?
With the fire of "Bright Sword", Li Youbin also ushered in the second chance to burst into red.
Some people may say that it is because of the strong rejection that Li Youbin has achieved today.
However, I want to say that everyone's success is by no means accidental. Li Youbin's success stems from his superb acting skills and professionalism, and his sense of responsibility. In addition, he showed Li Yunlong's stubbornness and arrogance in his bones. If it is Tang Guoqiang, it really won't have this effect.
