China Entertainment 1981: Starting from Journey to the West

Assistant Director?

Is there a position like this on the crew?
"Director Yang, what does this...director's assistant do?"

Before Wang Chongqiu knew what was happening, he saw that Gu Bei had just killed all of them.

"As long as he gets to the set, he can take care of everything."

ho...

This is a great right!
In an instant, everyone looked at Gu Bei in a different way.

Knowing that this kid was smart and capable, Yang Jie always valued him very much and took him with her everywhere, but he was still a newcomer after all!
Why was he promoted all of a sudden?
In fact, Yang Jie came up with this position of assistant director on a whim. Just now she had originally planned to let Gu Bei be the assistant director.

But thinking about Gu Bei's age, if he was praised so highly all of a sudden, it would definitely cause criticism among the crew.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Since it is a martial arts world, you must follow the rules.

What are the rules now?
On seniority.

In the entire "Journey to the West" crew, every one of them, regardless of whether they are from the studio or invited from outside, who has higher qualifications than Gu Bei?
How can others be convinced by letting such a 20-year-old kid serve as an assistant director?

So, Yang Jie simply changed it and just didn't name herself.

And the assistant director position is easy to explain.

Leaders are not allowed to have secretaries around them!

But the name director’s secretary is not pleasant, so we have director’s assistant.

It allows Gu Bei to take charge of things, give full play to his abilities, and be responsible for scene management. At the same time, there is no need to put him on the fire. No matter what he does, he can do it in the name of director.

Director's assistant!
Uploading and issuing orders, Gu Bei only conveyed her instructions as the director.

What else is wrong?
From this, we can also see Yang Jie's love for Gu Bei.

Others didn't understand what was going on, but Gu Bei still didn't understand. Hearing this, he was suddenly moved.

"I will learn more from all the teachers in the future. I also hope that all the teachers will support my work. Together, we can make "Journey to the West" a smooth success."

After a few words, Gu Bei lowered his posture, and everyone got off the stairs.

It was really uncomfortable just now, but now...

"Xiao Gu, do your best."

"Yes, we will also strive to be directors in the future."

Hahahaha...

All are happy.

Who said Director Yang Jie is just a bastard?

Isn’t this also a side that understands the ways of the world!

"Little Gu, little Gu!"

Li Chengru came back and ran around outside, sweating profusely.

"You're still called Xiao Gu, from now on you have to call me Assistant Gu!"

Peng Li joked with a smile.

What the hell?

Where is the assistant?
Who is the assistant?

Peng Li explained to Li Chengru, and Lao Li was immediately confused. He had been out for a total of an hour, and Gu Bei had upgraded again. He used to get the gold medal command arrow, but now he directly put on the divine armor.

As long as he is on the set, Gu Bei has the right to control everything.

Li Chengru instantly became even more depressed.

But Gu Bei didn't care whether he was depressed or not, he only cared about work now.

"We have contacted each other. The Daming Temple promised to clear the place when we go there. The host also agreed and can lend the cassocks to the crew."

"Where's Xiaopangu?"

"I also agreed. This is the shooting location we have chosen. The wires haven't been pulled over yet, so we need to do it ourselves."

Gu Bei listened, thought about it in his mind, and then started to give orders.

The preparation work here has been done. Peng Li took the art team to Daming Temple first, and the "Baolin Temple" signboard was also sent there to replace it. Each other group allocated half of its manpower to go to Daming Temple to do it. Preliminary preparation.

"Brother Li, take people to Xiaopangu to lay out the lines."

"Got it!"

Li Chengru agreed. He really had no intention of competing with Gu Bei now.

I just don’t know, when we meet next time, whether Gu Bei will directly change from assistant director to assistant director, then first assistant director, and then...

Thinking in his mind, he subconsciously glanced in Yang Jie's direction.

Old lady, you are in danger!

"What are you still doing, hurry up!"

Gu Bei didn't know that Li Chengru had ulterior motives, so he urged him to get to work quickly.

The afternoon shooting was scheduled 10 minutes in advance, and the preparations were done. The actors were too embarrassed to watch, so they took the initiative to hurry up and shoot.

Of course, Yang Jie had no problem. The reason for extending the lunch break was for the sake of everyone, especially pigs and monkeys. They had the most odds and ends and suffered more than others.

Since they are so positive, let’s start quickly. "Father!"

Gu Bei galloped up from a distance. When he arrived, he got off his horse and knelt down in front of Teacher Lei Ming, who played the role of the King of Wuji Kingdom.

The original plan was to film the prince's scene in the afternoon, so Gu Bei was naturally unambiguous.

When it comes to riding a horse, Gu Bei is not afraid at all, unlike Wang Yue, who feels like chaff while riding a horse.

He knew how to ride a horse in his previous life, and he had some spare money in his pocket, so naturally he wanted to do something different.

Horse riding, archery, golf, I can't say I'm proficient in them all, but at least I won't show any timidity.

Among them, riding is the best.

"Prince."

Mr. Lei Ming is also an experienced actor. Originally, he had no intention of taking this role, but he couldn't stand Director Yang Jie's three visits to the thatched cottage, so he nodded, but he was warned that the filming time could not exceed half a month.

During this time, I have been stealing his show.

Father and son reunited, exchanged a few words, and parted with tears. The prince mounted his horse and returned to the palace to protect the queen.

one by one.

Everyone found it strange, because Gu Bei had performed several performances before, and every performance was...

Sluggish!
I can't say it's bad, but I can't say it's good either. It's just average, with no highlights.

what is it today?
Does promotion also have an effect on improving acting skills?

Next, we took another long shot, and it was almost time. Everyone got in the car and rushed to Daming Temple.

The Daming Temple was built in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and has a history of a little more than a decade. During the Tang Dynasty, the very famous Jianzhen monk, the one who traveled east to Japan and became famous all over the world, once built the Daming Temple. The abbot.

When the crew of "Journey to the West" came over, the "Daming Temple" on the plaque at the entrance of the temple had been changed to "Baolin Temple". These three words were inscribed by Peng Li at the invitation of Mr. Li Shenghe, a famous painter from the Yangzhou Painting Academy.

In order to replace this plaque, the crew put a lot of effort into it. In the end, even the local Buddhist Association was alerted, and they finally persuaded Master Nengqin, the abbot of Daming Temple, to nod.

The scene has been set up and the crew can start working immediately.

Yang Jie looked around and was very satisfied.

The next thing to be filmed is when Tang Monk and his disciples enter the Baolin Temple Zen Temple. According to the script, when Tang Monk enters this royal temple, he should wear the brocade cassock given by Guanyin to show his solemnity, but the costume has not been produced yet.

Fortunately, Li Chengru came over in advance to finish the work, and Master Nengqin generously lent his cassock to the crew.

Just by looking at it, you can tell that this cassock is very precious. Master Nengqin said that it was specially made when the Jianzhen Memorial Hall was completed, and the gold threads on it are all made of real gold.

Putting on this cassock, Wang Yue looked even more dazzling and dignified.

"Be careful. If you tear a little bit of the edge, I'll have to keep you here as a monk."

Li Chengru was probably still feeling unhappy because he failed to get the role of Tang Monk, so he made a few jokes before filming started.

But this is quite true.

This cassock may not be worth much right now, but in a few years, it may not be worth even 100 million.

"100?"

Wang Yue was so frightened that he quickly lifted up the hem of his cassock.

Let alone 100 million yuan, he can't afford to pay even if it's 100 million one-cent steel pennies!
Immediately, I felt a heavy responsibility.

Not only must we take good care of the Buddhist robes we wear, but we must also not let down the good intentions of Master Nengqin.

He should have been nervous, but at this moment, there was no wave in Wang Yue's heart, as if he had entered a very mysterious state.

Wearing cassock, he is the Tang Xuanzang with great perseverance and great wisdom.

When she was ready and about to start filming, Yang Jie discovered a problem that had been missed.

According to the script, before Tang Monk entered Baolin Temple, the monks in the temple had been frightened by Sun Wukong, and the abbot led all the monks in the temple to greet him.

The actor who plays the snobbish abbot is already in place, but where are the other little monks?

It can't be a royal temple, and the abbot is just a mere commander!
Gu Bei also realized it and secretly blamed himself for being sloppy, but it was useless to review it in public now. The key is...

Thinking in his mind, he looked at Master Nengqin who was popularizing Buddhism to Wang Yue.

One guest does not bother two hosts.

If there are no extras playing the role of monks, is there no monks in the mighty Daming Temple?

So, when the official filming began, Master Nengqin personally led more than 20 real monks in the Daming Temple. Wearing robes and clasping their hands, they stood on both sides to welcome Tang Monk and his disciples into the temple.

Judging from their expressions, it was not something they could tell from the test. They were respectful and serious, just like treating the real Tang Monk!
Perhaps in their hearts, they already recognized Wang Yue as the real Tang Xuanzang.

So this was not regarded as an act at all, but as a real ceremony to welcome Master Xuanzang.

At first glance it seemed interesting, but soon everyone present was deeply moved by their pious attitude.

"well!"

When the scene was finished, Yang Jie couldn't help but cheer loudly. Although there was a slight oversight in the process, such a wonderful scene was captured by a combination of circumstances.

Just as the crew was packing up and preparing to leave, a more dramatic scene happened. Master Nengqin found Wang Yue, hoping to take a group photo.

Naturally, Wang Yue would not refuse, and then he saw him standing at the top of the temple steps wearing a cassock, like a star holding the moon. Originally, he didn't want to stand on top, maybe Master Qin wouldn't agree.

"You are Master Xuanzang. How can we get ahead of Master Xuanzang?"

Amitabha!
Good, good.

If Wang Yuechen hadn't been determined, he might have had to become a monk in Daming Temple today.
