"Infinity Class Season 2" has a poor reputation, but it will create various topics.
As a mentor, Ning Jing has attracted fans directly with her outspoken personality, especially her sentence "When you have a choice, you must be selfish" , which left a deep impression on people.
In this program, Ning Jing serves as the mentor. Zhang Rui, Xiang Zuo, Zhao Yihuan and others performed "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" which is really eye-catching, but the performance of the actors was disappointing.
This reminds people of the TV series "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" starring Ning Jing, Ma Jingtao, Liu Dekai and others 22 years ago, which can be called one of the ceilings of mainland court dramas.
The actors are not only beautiful in appearance, but also have superb acting skills.
Ning Jing vividly interprets Da Yuer's innocent, dignified and wildly beautiful girl image in the early stage, and her forbearance and stability after becoming the queen in the later stage. It can be said that she has played this role to life.
Dorgon played by Ma Jingtao is probably still a source of unhappiness in many people's hearts. He is handsome, affectionate and long-lasting, and his love for Da Yu'er has made many viewers sigh.
Liu Dekai, who both directed and acted, plays Huang Taiji, who is restrained and domineering, knows how to assess the situation, and perfectly grasps the brilliance, wisdom, and contradictions of the emperor of a generation.
In addition, the characters of He Saifei, 's Hai Lanzhu, Hu Jing, 's Su Morer, Wu Qianqian's Queen Xiaoduanwen, Siqin Gaowa, 's Abahai and other characters all left a deep impression on people. , I have to admire the profound skills of the actors in this drama.
The TV series took a total of 3 years from the start to the end. During this period, both the investment and the actors caused the crew to encounter considerable difficulties.
1. The script was completed in the late 1990s, and it took two years to find investment.
I think back then, when Liu Dekai was sightseeing in the Dongling Tomb of the Qing Dynasty, he was deeply shocked by the Xiaozhuang Tomb.
When the screenwriter finished writing the script for "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang", Liu Dekai was greatly shocked and decided to make this drama a success.
However, the film and television environment in Taiwan Province was not very good at that time. Audiences gradually lost interest in local film and television dramas, which led to investors not wanting to put their energy and financial resources into such a costume drama. This led to "Xiao Zhuang" The investment for "The Secret History" has never been secured.
During this period, Liu Dekai even confirmed the actors of Dayu'er and Dorgon, but the investment has never been realized.
Until 2000, when Liu Dekai was cooperating with director You Xiaogang on "desire", the two had a very good chat. Taking this opportunity, Liu Dekai showed the script of "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" to You Xiaogang.
Unexpectedly, after reading the script, You Xiaogang, like Liu Dekai, was very interested in the script and immediately promised to find investment.
finally attracted more than 10 million investment, and thus, the filming of this ceiling-level palace costume drama was able to begin.
After You Xiaogang "joined", he also put forward new requirements for the script, hoping to film the drama in the form of "emotion + drama".
Liu Dekai also fully accepted You Xiaogang's adaptation. The only requirement was that the actors for Dayu'er and Dorgon must be Ning Jing and Ma Jingtao.
2, Liu Dekai waited for Ning An for 3 years, and the crew postponed the production for one year to wait for Ning An.
Although Liu Dekai had chosen Ning Jing as the actor of Da Yuer before the investment was in place, the negotiation process with Ning Jing was full of twists and turns.
At first, Liu Dekai decided to meet Ning Ning at an ice cream shop. Perhaps to make the atmosphere livelier, Liu Dekai also invited Ning Ning to have an ice cream.
But she didn’t expect that the blow would be as cold as ice cream. Ning Jing had read the script before the meeting. She thought Da Yuer’s role was too much and rejected Liu Dekai’s invitation on the spot.
But Liu Dekai did not give up. He said "I will go back and modify it" and left. It had been two years since
left. At that time, Ning Jing thought she would never be cast in this drama again.Therefore, when Liu Dekai found Ning Jing again with the revised script, she was also shocked and wondered, "Why hasn't this scene been filmed yet?"
Faced with Liu Dekai's persistence, Ning Jing was also shaken, but she was helpless at the time Being abroad, there is no way to come back.
However, Liu Dekai and You Xiaogang felt that since they had been waiting for so long, it was not bad to wait any longer, so the entire crew postponed the start of production and waited for Tranquility for a full year.
Perhaps he was moved by the persistence of the crew and Liu Dekai. After joining the crew, Ning Ning also lowered his pay to star.
After the TV series was broadcast, Ning Jing also proved to the audience that Liu Dekai’s choice and persistence were right. Her role as Da Yuer immediately hit the hearts of the audience, and she also won the 13th Beijing Film and Television Award for this role. Chunyan Award for Best Actress.
3, Ning Jing and Ma Jingtao almost got into a fight on the set.
Although Ning Jing's participation in the role relieved the crew's immediate concern, on the set, due to her straightforward and fiery personality, many uncontrollable things happened. Among them, the most disturbing one was He almost got into a fight with Ma Jingtao, who also had a "bad temper".
Since both of them have straightforward and "hot" tempers, and there are many scenes of rivalry, any slight disagreement on the set will be a "battlefield" for the two of them.
Especially when filming the scene where Da Yuer marries Huang Taiji and becomes uncle and sister-in-law with her former lover Dorgon, the scene when the two meet again should be the most intense emotional explosion.
It is said that both of them are capable in terms of acting skills. Coupled with Ma Jingtao's "Roaring Emperor" attribute, this scene should be easy to shoot.
However, because everyone had their own ideas on how to express themselves, and no one gave in, there was a lot of "conflict" during the filming of this scene, and they even almost got into a fight.
None of the on-site staff dared to go up and persuade them, so they had to call the director who was working outside and ask him to come back and solve the problem.
In the end, with the director's comfort, the two of them were considered to be "reunited", and the director put their rivalry scenes at the back of the queue, allowing them to get along well before filming important scenes.
Since then, the cooperation and feeling between the two have gradually become better and better, and they have become more and more tacit, showing the love and hatred between Dayu'er and Dorgon in a heart-stirring way.
4, "Queen of Sweet Songs" Li Lingyu was "fooled" into acting
At that time, Li Lingyu played the Jade Rabbit Spirit in the 1987 version of the TV series " Journey to the West ", and her singing of "Tianzhu Girl" was remembered by countless audiences. This jade rabbit spirit is beautiful but not seductive, gorgeous but not vulgar.
When filming "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang", Li Lingyu originally joined the group as a singer. Unexpectedly, after singing the theme song, she failed to make it and was "fooled" by the director into joining the group.
At that time, Li Lingyu had just given birth to a child and did not want to focus too much on her career, but wanted to take good care of the child.
However, the director used a series of rhetoric such as "there is a role that no one can play", "it would be a pity not to play you with such a good image", "there are not many roles, only 4 episodes", etc. to keep Li Lingyu to play the role of the noble concubine.
But I didn't expect that as I continued to act, my role went from 4 episodes to 16 episodes, and the character became worse and worse, but Li Lingyu still insisted on finishing the role.
Sure enough, after the TV series was aired, the royal concubine played by Li Lingyu was scolded by the audience.
However, this also laid the foundation for Li Lingyu to expand her acting career in the later period. It can be said to be a blessing in disguise.
In addition, He Saifei, who plays Hai Lanzhu, also made the director "sweat". It is not that she is not dedicated or that her acting skills are not good, but because her acting skills are so good.
Although there were only a few episodes, he staged the "Three Cries of Unique Art", and the emotions gradually increased, causing the director to worry that the cameraman's hands would shake due to emotional infection.
I have to say that the director's casting skills are outstanding. Each character has different highlights and unique performance.
Once the TV series was aired, the ratings continued to rise, ranking first, and now the rating is as high as 8.6.
Even though 22 years have passed, when people mention Da Yu'er, the image of Ning Jing naturally comes to mind. Even though many actors have tried this role during this period, Ning Jing's portrayal can definitely be said to be difficult to surpass.
After three years of sharpening his sword, Liu Dekai's waiting and persistence for such a classic "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" was worth it. (Written by: Xi Chuangxue)
