new Beijing News reported on November 21 The new version of "The Deer and Ding Ji" starring Zhang Yishan has been controversial since its launch on November 15th, and Douban has received a 2.6 score of "the lowest Jin Yong drama" evaluation. The Beijing News reporter exclusively interviewed Ma Jin, the director of the play.
controversy
"I was slammed by black fans for the first time in 20 years as a director"
Beijing News: Is it expected that the show will cause so much controversy?
Ma Jin: Having been a director for 20 years, this is the first time I have been knocked on the door. I accidentally opened Weibo and saw someone in Aite’s own little partner, "The director’s Weibo is here, come and explode!" So some people began to say bad words...
Someone said that a certain rating website is one-sided to "The Deer Trip" The conclusion is a bit simple and crude. But I think that viewers have the right to comment on any node of a work, even the first shot of the opening. I have an open and tolerant attitude towards all online reviews. I also hope to obtain new discoveries and reviews from criticism, which is an important way for myself to make progress.
remake
"deconstruct the rivers and lakes on the basis of respecting the original"
Beijing News: "The Deer and Ding Ji" is a classic in many people's minds. So far, more than ten film and television dramas have been adapted. Everyone is very familiar with the story and the characters. Familiar. This time shooting the new version of "The Deer and Ding Ji", what do you hope to bring you something different?
Ma Jin: First of all, I am very grateful for the sincerity and trust of the producer. I have declined three times before, but I am not proud of it, because I have never found a reason to take it, that is, what is the "realistic meaning" and "highest task" of a director in the director's textbook to shoot a work? I must find the answer to convince myself.
First of all, like many people, I was obsessed with Jin Yong's novels at a certain moment in my youth, and I was also a diehard fan of Chafanbusi. As a director, watching "The Deer and Ding Ji" again, it was thirty years later.
I think the post-80s, 70s, and 60s have their own generations of Wei Xiaobao and "The Deer and Ding Ji". I don't have to pay tribute to whom to follow, or even mechanical reproduction. Therefore, I have never watched the various film and television versions of "The Deer and Ding Ji", which is a deliberate avoidance. If
cannot explain the work in a new dimension, the remake will be meaningless. Although there are risks in doing so, I have never been afraid of risks. Therefore, when the creator and actor asked me, "Director, who is the audience for our version of "The Deer and Ding Ji"?" I frankly said, "It is the post-00s and post-10s." Of course, I am also very happy to watch the post-85s with the post-10s. We hope that the old fans of "The Deer and Ding Ji" can accept it and like it. This is perfection and perfection.
Some people say that "The Deer and Ding Tale" is a tragedy, some say it is a comedy, and some say it is a drama. I just think it is a farce, which is based on the high abstraction of Wei Xiaobao's life experience. Therefore, "deconstructing the rivers and lakes, deconstructing the magic" has become the core appeal of this edition of "The Deer and Ding Ji". As a result, the path of deconstruction and the style of painting gradually took shape-with the basic realistic scene atmosphere, the Qing Dynasty LOGO color matching of red and green, and the performance characteristics of cartoon style, this double deconstruction adventure journey was completed. Of course, this style of painting can also be understood as New Expressionism.
First of all, "deconstructing the arena" needs to be clear about what is the arena? The rivers and lakes, the temple's benchmark object, is a world of difference between the court and the wild.
Jianghu is a private vanity fair with internal fighting and internal friction as the basic mark. Self-deception is the internal logic of the existence of the rivers and lakes. In this regard, in the Tianmou Society and the Flyying Doggou of various martial arts, careful audiences will find our expression. Deconstructing the rivers and lakes is actually the humanistic mission given to Wei Xiaobao by Mr. Jin Yong. Whether each version of "The Deer and Ding Ji" has completed the full expression of this proposition is also a measure of its creative level.
"Deconstruction of the magic" is the expression of cold weapons in "Newtonian style"The fighting and fighting within the physiological limits of modern humans, and the ruthless end of various magical powers of hot weapons, this forms an echo of the "deconstruction of rivers and lakes".
In 2013, China's Chang'e-3 probe arrived on the moon, but Chang'e Wu Gang and the little white rabbit were not found. Musk has started selling VIP tickets for space travel while building the "Star Chain". In the context of human beings having entered the AI era, it would seem very funny and inferior to go to shoot the cornucopia, go to the wall, and click on the dumb acupoints and laugh acupoints, and lack basic respect for the IQ of contemporary audiences.
As for how to deconstruct, I am inconvenient to spoil it, please let the judges slowly appreciate and experience. The first thing in filming "The Deer and Ding Ji" is to give everyone a piece of happiness. This is the common wish of me and all the actors!
Zhang Yishan
"He is the best candidate for Wei Xiaobao"
Beijing News: As the actor of Wei Xiaobao, Zhang Yishan's acting skills in the play have been questioned a lot. Many netizens feel that what they see is not the clever and funny Wei Xiaobao, but exaggeration. To Wei Xiaobao who is like a monkey. What are the characteristics of this version of Wei Xiaobao? What were your considerations when choosing Zhang Yishan to play Wei Xiaobao? As a director, what do you think of Zhang Yishan's performance in the play?
Ma Jin: To say that a mountain is like a monkey is a description. But putting the picture of the monkey and the head of Yishan together to call it a curse is typical of hurt and violence.
Wei Xiaobao is a very extreme and special character. He was born in a brothel. He was used to seeing the dark world. He didn't know who his father was. He had a huge psychological shadow, but he was still kind and thoughtful. He is proficient in all kinds of wine, wealth and gas, and all the inferiorities of old Chinese men are gathered. But I have a family and a country in my heart, and I am moral.
Frankly speaking, Zhang Yishan is one of the best acting actors in this age group. He is a well-deserved acting performer. He is the best choice for Wei Xiaobao. He is not only capable of comprehension and expression, but also very dedicated and often gives Director surprise. In terms of acting skills, Yishan is also top in all versions of Wei Xiaobao's sequence so far. The overall style of
is a strong comedy. It uses nonsensical character interactions, hilarious lines, and exaggerated performances to create an overall character appearance. As far as the character creation is concerned, Yishan did a very good job. He is the Wei Xiaobao I am looking forward to!
Moreover, each version of Wei Xiaobao has its own emoticon pack. I believe that Yishan's contribution is the most cutest, because the style of this version is cartoon style. If
must say that he has a problem, it is also my problem, it has nothing to do with the actor!
An actor like Yishan, because the audience loves him very much and thinks that he should perform well, it is normal for the expected value to explode. He cried when
was finished. The eight-and-a-half months of continuous shooting, regardless of physical overdraft or psychological pressure, finally let him off at that moment and got released... The cooperation between
and Yishan is the director's luck, we have cooperated tacitly. The third time will come soon!
Wife group
"Maximum dilute the'Seven Lesbian Frame'"
Beijing News: In terms of character relations, it seems that Princess Jianning has become the number one female, and the other six ladies are supporting roles. Are they in these ladies? Made adjustments to the scene? Are there any concerns about one man and seven women?
Ma Jin: In a play, the role of the role is light and heavy, and the ranking of the actors is also based on this. Princess Jianning plays the most part, of course she is the first woman. The appearances and passages of each character in the play are roughly the same as the original, so you don't need to worry too much.
Speaking of "The Deer and Ding Tale", everyone’s first reaction is probably Wei Xiaobao and the seven wives. However, in the current audience structure and cultural context, it is obviously out of fashion to play up "polygamy". This is a risk to the world, right. Blatant offense by girls and women. Therefore, "one drags seven" is an expression of a dilemma, but it is also an important part of the whole story that cannot be separated. Waiting for the seven wives to come on stage to compare and complain one by one is a classic pleasure for the audience of "The Deer and Ding Ji". What we have to do in this edition is to minimize the "seven women in one frame". However, it is absurd to use the standard of five bars to require Wei Xiaobao, and it is also disdainful for Jin Yong fans.
Actress
"In line with character temperament and personality"
Beijing News: The choice of several actresses in the playExcept for Tang Yixin and Zhu Zhu, most of the actresses are not very familiar to the audience. Some netizens think that the actresses are not very recognizable. Can you talk about the rough selection criteria?
Ma Jin: Everyone thinks that Tang Yixin has a sense of existence because she is familiar with her and how well her Jianning has been completed. N versions are all hanging on the Internet, and everyone will get their own answers. Among the other actresses, except for Zhu Zhu who is very popular, most of them are newcomers or even amateurs. They are also going to let everyone know through this drama. The selection criteria are simple: in line with the character's temperament and personality. Please don't worry the audience, they are coming on stage one after another, after watching the welcome comments.
The rhythm is messy
"It's a pity that it can't be fully presented"
The Beijing News: The plot of this drama has progressed very fast. Some netizens summarized: Mao Shiba was arrested in one minute, and he met Grandpa Hai in five minutes, and met in ten minutes. When I arrived at the emperor, I went to find the forty-two chapters in 20 minutes. What kind of considerations came out of this fast-paced narrative?
Ma Jin: I can’t deny that the first two episodes are really messy, not to mention I’m sorry everyone! Because all the staff of the crew are very distressed, it is a pity that the results of the hard work of hundreds of people cannot be presented to the audience 100%! So, everyone has a special understanding, sorry!
sincerely hope that "The Deer Tripod" will continue to bring you more joy! Thank you!
