starring Yang Zi, Zhang Wanyi, Deng Wei, Dai Luwa, Wang Hongyi, Tan Jianci 's TV series "Sauvignon Blanc Season 2" will be held in Jiangsu tonight (July 30) Satellite TV ends. The play is adapted from Tong Hua's novel of the same name, telling the story of Xiaoyao and Xingxuan, Tushanjing, Xiangliu, A-Nian and others growing up hand in hand and intertwined with love, family and friendship. After
turns text works into films, how can we make the characters and plot more prominent while ensuring the originality of the story? Chief director Qin Zhen said frankly in an interview recently: "Before the filming started, the producer and I agreed to make a new costume drama with a more realistic style. Although the story has a mythical flavor, it is more grounded." She also Frankly speaking, this is a work that is very important to me.
Complete realistic expression in story presentation
Before coming into contact with the script, Qin Zhen read the original novel and felt that it was different from many works of the same type on the market. " Sauvignon Blanc " uses the perspective of the heroine Xiaoyao to show her life and the people around her, and then unfold the entire story. She said: "It has a eloquent temperament, with many daily scenes and group scenes. I think the tone should be set around the word 'real', whether it is character relationships, character emotions, art style, or performance system. I hope that Everyone can feel that the plot is real, the scenes are immersive, and the actors' performances are real. "
How to highlight the "reality"? Qin Zhen chose to start with the details. She gave an example: In Qingshui Town, after Xiao Liu recognized Xuan, the two had a chat scene. "Xiao Liu asked Xuan in the teahouse, 'You must have been working hard for so many years.' That scene didn't have a lot of emotions, but it was still very touching. It seemed to be said in one sentence lightly, but it actually contained a lot of emotions. "In Qin Zhen's opinion, capturing delicate emotions in ordinary scenes is the most moving part.
This "reality" is also reflected in the scene construction. In order to restore Qingshui Town, one of the important scenes in the play, Qin Zhen led the team to spend 6 months designing the drawings, and then spent 7 months building more than 50 buildings, and planting flowers and plants on the roofs in advance. Landscape placement can also help actors increase their sense of belief to a certain extent. She said: "Every character in the drama is very realistic. I want to make everyone feel that the characters and stories are real and credible through life-like expressions."
However, the drama itself is a fairy tale. How to grasp the scale of realism and impressionism? , to achieve a balance between virtual and real? Qin Zhen said that the crew broke the inertial thinking, not necessarily those with fairy spirit are "gods", and down-to-earth characters like Wen Xiaoliu can also be gods: "Before filming each scene, I will focus on thinking about this It is important to have a preset in mind about what the main focus of the scene is and what you want the audience to see. Not only do you need to pay attention to expression when shooting the big scenes and famous scenes in the play, but you also need to pay attention to details during the transitions. Only in this way can the audience feel this 'sense of landing'."
praised Yang Zi as a "talented actor"
Qin Zhen spoke highly of the performances of the leading actors. In her opinion, Xiao Yao, played by Yang Zi, is a rather special heroine: "Xiao Yao has experienced being hurt, deceived, abandoned, and betrayed, but she still has compassion, independence and sobriety. After going through hardships and vicissitudes, Xiao Yao has a strong attitude towards people." She always has good intentions and responsibility for things. For example, when she was getting along with Mazi, Chuanzi, and Lao Mu in Qingshui Town, she looked carefree on the surface, but in fact she was like a grown-up parent, always worrying and planning for them. But at her core, she was lonely and self-centered. She is very protective and it is difficult to open her heart. "Xiaoyao has never relied on anyone. She has been healing herself through her own efforts throughout her life. Through her delicate and nuanced performance, Yang Zi brought out Xiaoyao's kindness and tenacity. The characteristics are presented one by one."
Qin Zhen praised Yang Zi as a talented actor: "Her ability to understand the script, her ability to perceive the characters, and her on-site appeal are very strong."
In the play, Zhang Wanyi plays Xiao. Xuan is more complex, both ruthless and tender.Qin Zhen said: "The way Xuanxuan expresses his feelings is very tolerant, but at the same time he is very contradictory inside, and there are many embarrassing situations that he can't help himself. Xuanxuan's character line is slowly unfolding, and it is a process of accumulation. This process is not It's easy to act, but Zhang Wanyi fulfilled this role very well."
As Xiaoyao's "official wife", Tu Shanjing behaves in a gentle and elegant manner, and Deng Wei also plays the role very carefully. Qin Zhen said: "Deng Weihui talked with me a lot about the behavioral logic of Ye Shiqi and Tu Shanjing. When we filmed the second half, he said that he had already thought about the life of Tu Shanjing and Xiaoyao after they got married. What's it like? During the time he was on the set, he really believed that he was Tu Shanjing, and he took great care to get into the character." . But Qin Zhen said that what Tan Jian wanted to perform was actually three different stages: Xiangliu, Fangfengbei, and the combination of Xiangliu and Fangfengbei. During the filming, Qin Zhen recognized Tan Jianci's design of Xiang Liu's "demon" little moves and his "cold" treatment. She said: "He can play the role of 'cold', but it is not facial paralysis and requires some emotional expression. Tan Jianci thought a lot about this role and invested a lot."
