"I'm crazy, I can shoot. ”
After saying this sentence, Chen Baoguo created a domineering, gangster, ruffian, and Confucian Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty.
This scene happened before the start of filming of the TV series "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", and it is precisely because Chen Baoguo is so responsible for the role and his study of the script madness that such a classic role has been achieved.
As the opening drama of 2005, "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" can be said to be the TV series with the largest investment at that time, with a total investment of 50 million yuan.
This drama tells the magnificent life of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty who reigned for more than 50 years, and shows Liu Che's eloquence in an all-round way.
This drama can be said to be the ceiling in the theme of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's film and television dramas, not only has a strong cast of Chen Baoguo, Jiao Huang, Gui Yalei and so on.
The director is Hu Mei, a famous director who has directed "Yongzheng Dynasty".
In addition, the clarity of the drama's thinking, the comprehensive and realistic interpretation of the military, politics, and culture at that time, and the delicate portrayal of the war scenes all make this drama exude a classic flavor.
After the broadcast of this drama, it won the second prize of the 25th China TV Drama Feitian Award for feature-length TV series, the Outstanding Director Award and the Outstanding Actor Award.
However, for such a classic TV series, the filming process was not smooth sailing, and the entire film crew experienced a lot of difficulties from casting to shooting.
01, Chen Baoguo "picked up leaks" and was almost driven crazy.
Before filming started, the director fell in love with Chen Daoming to play Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Prior to this, Chen Daoming had successfully portrayed Pu Yi in "The Last Emperor", Kangxi in "Kangxi Dynasty" and other emperor characters, but he didn't think that Chen Daoming refused the invitation.
So Hu Mei set her sights on Chen Baoguo, at that time, he was already a skin-splashing bastard "glass flower", a "yin owl disease" Li Zhi, and a mixed Bai Jingqi.
After receiving the invitation and reading the script, Chen Baoguo was very obsessed with the role of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and spent half a year studying the script.
But half a year has passed, but Chen Baoguo left a sentence "I haven't found the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty yet, I can't shoot now", and ran away.
However, Chen Baoguo is not a person who escapes, he just wants to find a better state of performance.
After all, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was an extremely challenging role for him, and he was very excited to play the life of a generation of emperors.
After 21 days of retreat, studying the script like a fascination, Chen Baoguo said to Hu Mei after "getting out": "I'm crazy, I can shoot", and then decisively joined the group.
During the 21 days of retreat, Chen Baoguo gave Hu Mei a big surprise, Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty under his interpretation, exuded his domineering, gangster, ruffian, and Confucian anger.
played this role alive, as if he was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty himself, who came through two thousand years of history.
After filming this drama, Chen Baoguo bluntly said that he was "about to be driven crazy by the role of Liu Che", and even said that he would not play the emperor again.
But he soon broke his promise, Jiajing in "Ming Dynasty 1566" was beckoning to him, perhaps because of the sequelae caused by the hot weather during the filming of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", so when he played Jiajing, he didn't go out every day.
02. Difficult shooting environment.
In an interview, director Hu Mei once bluntly said: "I felt like we were facing a war at that time. ”
Not long after the filming of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" started, it encountered a "special period", and many people in the crew were recruited.
As a result, filming had to be temporarily suspended, which meant more money was invested.
In addition, many group performances couldn't persevere, and quit early to settle Hu Mei's salary, which made the already not very wealthy crew even worse.
When the crew started filming again, it was scorching heat, the surface temperature was as high as dozens of degrees, and costume dramas needed to wear hoods and thick costumes, and the actors often suffered from heat stroke, and even 3 horses died of heat at that time.
Even the staff couldn't bear it, and there were more than a dozen staff members queuing up for infusions in almost every scene.
Every time Chen Baoguo took off his hood, sweat would run down with a "whoosh", and blisters appeared on his scalp.
However, even in such a harsh shooting environment, no one shouted that they were tired, and everyone was gritting their teeth and persevering.
It is also the joint efforts of the whole crew that make this historical drama shine and become a classic in the drama of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
03, the details of the crew: wipe the floor more than a dozen times in a scene, and shoot the dinner scene repeatedly.
As a director, Hu Mei is strict with the filming of the series.
is very elegant in terms of costumes, women are still red, wearing hair, and red lips, men are still black, with swords, standing crowns, samurai wearing helmets, wearing cowhide armor, and highly restored props, all of which tell the quality of this drama.
In addition, the crew is still "detail control", and every detail must be in place.
During the filming, in the scene where Prime Minister Tian Cheng presented a horse to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a line that "Quickly wipe the floor, and wipe the corners of the wall clean." "And it's a panorama show.
In order to better interpret this line, Hu Mei asked people to wipe the floor and wipe it.
But the horse is uncontrollable, trampling on the scene, and even "contributing" some feces from time to time, so he has to wipe the floor over and over again, and this scene alone wipes the floor ten times.
In addition, in a scene where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was eating, because the weather was too hot at the time, the dishes changed color and flavor before the filming was finished.
Chen Baoguo said, "Director, this dish doesn't taste right!" Hu Mei immediately sent someone to replace the hot dishes.
Because "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is very picky about dining", Hu Mei wanted to make the color and taste of the dishes good, so that Chen Baoguo could also perform as he should be.
Details determine quality", and it is precisely because of the control of details that this drama was well received after it was broadcast.
04, Hu Mei hollowed out her family and finished filming the life of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
In fact, when filming "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", due to various reasons such as funding, the director planned to end after filming the "Mobei War", and there were not many scenes in the old age of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
But unexpectedly, Chen Baoguo, who is the leading actor, is "out of the moth" again.
Chen Baoguo can be said to be obsessed with the role of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he insists that he should play his whole life, and the role of old age is also essential.
and moved the crew with affection and reason, with the scenes of the old age, this drama is more complete, and the word-of-mouth, wind reviews, and ratings of the drama will be considerable.
After listening to Chen Baoguo's analysis, the crew was also moved, but in the face of a lot of investment, they still didn't agree.
In the end, it was Hu Mei's decision to make a decision, she was moved by Chen Baoguo's sincerity, and she was also moved by the fact that she had finished filming the life of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
So, Hu Mei went to solicit sponsorship by herself, and even took out all her money, and finally got together the filming funds.
It is precisely because of this that we can see such a complete life of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
05, Jiao Huang was miserable, Tao Hong played the villain for the first time.
In the crew, Chen Baoguo is not the only one who no longer wants to play the emperor, but also Jiao Huang who plays Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
Before this, he played Kangxi in "Yongzheng Dynasty", and his role was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he was simply an elderly Kangxi.
But after filming "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", Jiao Huang bluntly said, "This is the last time I will play the emperor." ”
In the interview, Jiao Huang admitted frankly that he had already played two emperor roles before this and wanted to try different types of roles.
Although he has played two emperor roles, Jiao Huang's acting skills are not the same, but he will carefully figure out the character of the character and treat the role with an almost harsh attitude.
He played Emperor Jing of Han, who had an imperial temperament on the surface, but was contradictory and even a little cowardly in his heart, and often put himself in a dilemma.
In addition, the scene of "Killing Chao Wrong" was written by Mr. Jiao Huang himself, and a total of 10 doors were designed, and every time he opened a door, his mood changed.
In addition, Liu Ling in the play also left a deep impression on everyone, which is also Tao Hong's first time challenging the villain.
Actually, director Hu Mei originally wanted Tao Hong to play Wei Zifu, but before filming started, she temporarily tried Liu Ling's play.
As a result, Tao Hong's charm conquered the director at once, and she was the one to play Liu Ling at the moment.
Tao Hong is very excited about the director's decision, because the villain role is both fresh and challenging for her.
And after repeated communication with the screenwriter and director, she portrayed this role vividly, and even after many years, she still remembers Liu Ling played by her.
Now, 19 years have passed since the broadcast of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", but it is still as high as 9The score of 2 and the proud record of CCTV broadcast 3 times all tell the quality of this drama and its status in the hearts of the audience.
Even after so many years, the drama again, the scenes of Jin Ge Iron Horse and expanding the territory still make the Chinese children enthusiastic. (Written by West Window Snow).
