306 [A nest of bald men]
In the 1970s, the actors' styles were like their costumes, and they were basically messy.
When filming dramas from the Qing Dynasty, actors did not leave braids, but instead disheveled their hair. As for the costumes of the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, there was no distinction between them, and they were all used in ancient costumes.
Therefore, it is often seen that the knights of the Ming Dynasty were wearing Tang Dynasty costumes, and the chivalrous women of the Qing Dynasty had modern air bangs... In short, it is very unrigorous.
This kind of impreciseness was not considered a great event to the audience in the 1970s. Everyone was still very happy to watch.
But Ye Jin hopes that "Fang Shiyu" can be filmed well and tried to be perfect. In this way, it will still be visible in ten or twenty years, so try to be more careful in the shape.
To this end, Ye Jin also plans to let all the actors in the film shaved their heads so that they can wear headbands and stick their braids.
Otherwise, it would be like the Qing Dynasty drama in Taiwan in the 1990s, where male actors would not shave their heads and combed their braids, which looked a bit inappropriate.
...
"Mr. Ye, do you really want to shave your head?" Chen Ziqiang saw that he was about to shave his hair, so he quickly stopped him, "It's not good to shave your head, it's unlucky."
People in Xiangjiang are superstitious and believe that when they see monks, they will be unlucky. Then they become overwhelmed, and even when they see someone bald, they feel unlucky.
When Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Sammo Hung and others were studying opera at the opera school, they had to start from [Moon Gate] because they were shaved into a bald head for convenience, and they were always bullied by others for this, so they often fought with others.
"How could there be so much to say?" Ye Jin curled his lips when he heard this.
There are different styles in ten miles and different customs in hundreds of miles. There are no such rules in the mainland.
And then again, being a monk in the mainland is still a good job.
I heard a saying that there was a mountain in the past, a temple on the mountain, and an old monk in the temple. The old monk sat at the entrance of the temple, basking in the sun while selling tickets.
Ye Jin thought about finding a temple to become a monk. Later, he learned that he needed at least a college degree to become a monk. At most, he graduated from a technical secondary school and was not even qualified to be a monk.
"Shat!" Ye Jin said to the hairstylist.
The boss said everything, so the hairstylist naturally did not dare to neglect it. He made a quick decision and shaved Ye Jin's hair.
Although he was shaved into a bald head, Ye Jin's head shape is good. The so-called beauty lies in the bones but not in the skin! So he actually looks quite handsome.
Unlike some young and popular guys, they can't survive without their bangs.
"Yeah, that's not bad." Ye Jin looked at himself in the mirror.
With Ye Jin taking the lead, it is naturally difficult for other actors to refuse.
Therefore, Fan Meisheng, Chen Long, Zhu Jiang, Dong Wei, Zheng Shaoqiu and others also shave their heads one after another.
This made the crew more bald.
...
After Deng Lijun recorded the video on the wireless station, she called Ye Jin to have dinner.
As soon as they met, she asked in surprise, "Mr. Ye, why are your hair gone?"
Ye Jin used to have Beatles-like hair, black and shiny, which made her a little jealous as a woman.
But now, Ye Jin's head was bare and there was not even a single hair.
"Oh, because this movie is a play from the Qing Dynasty, I shave my hair in order to restore history as much as possible." Ye Jin explained.
"Wow, then your sacrifice is too great." Deng Lijun said in surprise when she heard this.
Hair is the second life of a woman. If someone wants to move her hair, it would be better to kill her first.
"I saw director Zhang Che's "The Sting Horse" filmed last year, and he just combed his hair into braids." She said again.
The Xiangjiang film industry was actually not a fan of filming Qing Dynasty braided dramas at the beginning. Because the main market for Xiangjiang films was Southeast Asia, and many of them were visited Southeast Asia in the late Qing Dynasty.
When they were in the mainland, they were deceived by corrupt officials, cruel officials, local tyrants and evil gentry, and left their hometowns to come to Nanyang to survive. This also made them very dissatisfied with the Qing court, and then they were very disgusted with the [pigtail], and they were reluctant to watch pigtail shows even when they watched movies.
Therefore, in order to cater to the audience, Hong Kong films have never filmed dramas from the Qing Dynasty for decades. It was not until 1974 that the great director Zhang Che made a movie "The Sting Horse" and made his first appearance in [Piracle Scene].
This drama was unexpected and was not boycotted in Nanyang, but became very popular.
If you look at the reasons carefully, it has been nearly a hundred years since the immigrants from the Qing Dynasty, and the hatred left by our ancestors has long been eroded by time.
Therefore, with the successful box office of "The Horse", the Qing Palace drama was suddenly lifted. After that, Zhang Che continued to work hard and filmed films with Qing Dynasty backgrounds such as "Shaolin Temple", "Fang Shiyu and Hu Huigan", and "Five Ancestors of Shaolin", which gradually became popular.
However, the actors do not shave their heads and comb their braids on their braids.
Because the two male protagonists, Di Long and David Kang, had to film other scenes besides "The Stupid Horse". If they shave their heads, it would be difficult to film other scenes, so they could only watch them.
Later generations also imitated him, and the actors basically don’t shave their heads and just combed their braids.
"They are them, I am me, and I still think it's more realistic to shaved." Ye Jin smiled.
"You really have the spirit of sacrifice." Deng Lijun couldn't help but say moved when he heard him say this.
With Ye Jin's current fame and status, it is actually not worth making such a big sacrifice. Even if his movies are a little flawed, they will still be welcomed by the audience. But he is so meticulous and shaved his hair, which is really admirable.
"Miss Deng has won the award." Ye Jin smiled, "By the way, how many more days do you have to stay in Xiangjiang?"
"I'm going back to Japan tomorrow." Deng Lijun explained, "I received a call from the company yesterday, urging me to go back and record a new album. I hate it, I wanted to stay here for a few more days."
"That's a pity. Let's do this. Next time you come to Xiangjiang, I'll take you to have fun." Ye Jin smiled.
"Really?!" Deng Lijun looked at Ye Jin seriously when she heard this.
Being stared at by her watery eyes made Ye Jin feel a little worried, "Of course."
"Yes." Deng Lijun laughed happily after hearing what he said.
...
A week later, "Fang Shiyu" was officially launched.
Although Ye Jin did not make a big splash, the media still flocked to report on the movie in detail.
"Mr. Ye, is your "Five Ancestors of Shaolin" directed by Zhang Che? "Fang Shiyu and Hu Huigan" and so on?" A reporter asked curiously.
Last year, Zhang Che began filming movies with the theme of "Shaolin", such as "The Five Ancestors of Shaolin", "Shaolin Temple", "Fang Shiyu and Hong Xiguan", "Shaolin Children", etc., and filmed the story of the Five Ancestors of Shaolin and the Ten Tigers in Eastern Guangdong over and over again.
Hong Xiguan, Fang Shiyu, Hu Huigan, Cai Shizhong, Hu Dedi and others have also become popular figures, and their popularity is no less than Huang Feihong.
Therefore, Ye Jin is now filming this movie "Fang Shiyu", and it is easy to be regarded as directed by Zhang Che.
