These actors in "A Dream of Red Mansions" learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is naturally ancient Chinese music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Asking Professor Zhang to give lectures is just a special case.

Therefore, most of the time, people learn Chinese brush-and-ink landscape painting, and they usually practice Go, Yaoqin, and landscape painting. For example, when it comes to painting, I mostly use a brush to draw landscapes, and things like "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". Therefore, using a brush has become a convention.

Director Ren knows this very well, because Director Ren personally invited these professors, teachers, and scholars. The rest of the crew and the director were busy filming, and the other people were not qualified enough. After all, they were invited These experts, professors and scholars are all high-status and big names in the industry. Even if they go to work for the crew, they may not be able to hire them.

Director Ren thought for a moment curiously and said: "If Ye Ming has anything to do with it, just tell him directly. If it can be solved, I will try my best to help you solve it. As for this, let's make it clear first. If it involves funding issues, you don't need to say it." Well, the crew doesn’t have much money, you should know this even if I don’t tell you.”

Director Ren has made this very clear. As long as it is not because of money issues, then everything is easy to say. It can be seen that the Red Mansions crew is short of money. Although it is not necessary to stop filming, it is definitely very That's the tense step.

Ye Ming had long heard that the crew was financially tight, but this was the first time Director Ren had confirmed such a thing.

At that moment, he said with great certainty: "Director, don't worry, money will definitely not be involved. You said, if our crew is talking about filming, it probably won't be completed in one or two years, right?"

This is for sure, because it is a fact. It would be strange if the filming time for such a TV series is short. The crew of "Red Mansions" took three years to film.

Classic gadgets are always made through slow work and meticulous work. This does not include the time it takes to write the script and set up the project for the crew. If included, it would take at least four years.

As the production director, Director Ren naturally said that he knew that this crew could not complete it in a short time. He had to keep track of the progress of the crew's spending. Otherwise, if the money was spent and the filming of the TV series was not completed, Director Ren felt that this It's the crew's fault.

But what Director Ren didn't expect was that under such a situation, the crew would really reach the point where all the money was spent, but the filming of the scene was not completed.

The current director thought about it and said: "According to the current progress of our crew, this is indeed a long process. It is estimated to take three years, which is relatively fast."

At this time, Ye Ming also immediately complimented and said: "Director Ren Shengming, this is indeed the truth. Our crew cannot be disbanded in a short time."

Director Ren immediately waved his hand and said: "Sheng Ming, you spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars every day. You can also estimate how long it will take to complete the shooting. Don't talk nonsense. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly." , I still have something to talk to the director about."

Ye Ming followed behind and said: "This matter is actually not very troublesome. Director, you also know that since it is impossible for the crew to be disbanded in a short period of time, you see, this does not mean that all the young people in our crew are probably Around 20 years old, right?"

Ye Ming was not lying when he said that the veteran actors in the crew are usually part-time employees of several costume, props and other staff of the crew. The main actors are all young people selected from auditions across the country, usually in their twenties. Up and down, Deng Jie, who plays Wang Xifeng, is already 23 years old, which is considered very old among the main actors.

For example, Chen Xiaoxu is only eighteen years old, which is when his love for him first blossomed.

They are all young people. Director Ren did not deny this, but he was waiting for Ye Ming's next words. At this time, Ye Ming immediately said: "That's the truth. We are all young people, and most of them are from theater troupes or factories. We all have one common characteristic, culture. Low.

Otherwise, it is impossible for Chen Xiaoxu and Zhang Li not to know that Western sketches use pencils instead of brushes. This is a common sense issue for college students. Even if you are not a professional art student in college, you are always exposed to it. For those who have studied fine arts, they should use pencils rather than brushes to describe scenery. This is the foundation among the foundations. Therefore, I suggest setting up a cram school for cultural classes. "

At this time, Ye Ming was talking to Director Ren about this matter. Director Wang walked over slowly. After seeing Director Ren, he immediately walked over and said, "Old Ren, are you going to get the money from the station?"

The crew seems to have no money at all. If the TV station doesn't give money anymore, there is a real possibility that they will stop filming.

Therefore, the one who is actually most anxious is Director Wang.

Dream of Red Mansions is the hard work of Director Wang. He naturally cherishes it very much. It is not impossible that if the filming is stopped, it will be completely scrapped. If it is really disbanded, it will be difficult to reunite the crew. It's very difficult.

Director Ren nodded helplessly and said: "If you want to come over, but it's only five thousand yuan, you can make do with it first, right?"

Five thousand yuan sounds like a lot. Now workers' wages are generally three to five hundred a year. Five thousand yuan is already a lot for an individual.

But when it comes to the entire Dream of Red Mansions crew, it seems a little underwhelming at a time like this. There are hundreds of people on the crew, eating, drinking and having sex, all of which require money. When filming, it naturally also requires expenses. .

And everyone’s salary, who doesn’t need money? Five thousand yuan, I really can’t hold on for a long time.

At this time, Director Wang also said very helplessly: "Why do you just give me so little? This is bullying."

Director Ren said helplessly: "Old Wang, this is not bad. It is said that the five thousand may not be available next time. I will think of a solution then. You'd better be mentally prepared and think about what will happen." To solve this problem, well, the Taiwan authorities have also said that it is not that they will not give money, but that there is no money.

Moreover, on our side, no films have been sent to us for such a long time, and some leaders in the station are also very dissatisfied with this. There is also the issue of Ma Guangru. Some leaders are also very dissatisfied, thinking that we have smeared the company. "As for the crew, once the project is approved and filming begins, what does it depend on? In fact, it depends on living well.

It's a mule or a horse, let's take it out for a ride. As for Ma Guangru's problem, in Director Wang's opinion, it was an accident and something beyond anyone's control.

For example, the directors of the TV station, who are flirting with others outside, often make jokes, isn't it the same? Why are you staring at the Dream of Red Mansions crew just by talking about it? One is that everyone is controversial about the project of Dream of Red Mansions, and the other is that some leaders in the TV station tried to recruit a few actors into the Dream of Red Mansions crew, but Director Wang ruthlessly refused. This also caused the Dream of Red Mansions crew to be relatively reluctant to ask for money. A difficult place.

At this moment, Director Wang said helplessly: "Then let's quickly shoot some samples, edit them and send them over to shut up those people. As for you talking about Ma Guangru, we have already dealt with it. Don't listen to other people's nonsense, it will affect The actor’s emotions.”

Obviously, Director Wang is also an emotional person, not the kind of person who others bully casually, otherwise he would not be able to support a crew as big as Dream of Red Mansions.

Therefore, from a question like this, we can see Director Wang's persistence in art. Although Ma Guangru made some mistakes and made mistakes, our crew has already dealt with them. Therefore, if others want to interfere again, they are meddling.

Director Ren gave a wry smile and said: "Old Wang, what you say is better than what you sing. Come on, if you have the ability, go to the stage and talk about it yourself. You can speed up the sample film yourself. As for Ma Guangru's matter, let's go back. Let’s talk about it.” Director Wang glanced at Ye Ming and said, “Little Ye Zi, what are you asking the director for? Are you asking for leave again? No, you just ask Xiao Wang for leave. What are you asking Lao Ren for? ah."

Ye Ming immediately said with a smile: "Director Wang, actually I just want to discuss something with you and Director Ren. I want to take advantage of my spare time to hold a training class for everyone. Of course it is non-mandatory. Anyone who wants to come can come, but if he doesn’t want to come, forget it. I’ll help everyone with their literary knowledge and so on.”

Then, Ye Ming reiterated what he was worried about.

In fact, this is a relatively big hidden danger for the crew of Red Mansions. For example, Guo Xiaozhen, after filming Dream of Red Mansions, did not pass the film school because her score in cultural classes was not high enough, and then returned to her hometown. Huangmei Drama Troupe, his unit, has been unknown all his life.

If Guo Xiaozhen had enough cultural classes at that time, then the outcome would have been very useful.

Director Wang listened and hesitated for a moment. When Ye Ming saw the door, he immediately said: "Director, you also saw it. Our crew gathered everyone together, does it mean that we should be responsible for everyone? Three years, what I just said But when I asked Director Ren about this drama, Director Ren said that it would be relatively lucky if it took three years to complete the filming. Therefore, should we be responsible for the future of young actors? And after everyone’s literary literacy improves , which is also very helpful in understanding the characters.

Otherwise, you see, Chen Xiaoxu and Zhang Li draw a bottle, sketch, it is the simplest common sense question, but they actually use brushes to draw, what do you think this is? There is no culture in having poetry and calligraphy in one's belly, and it is not good for our shooting either. "

Director Wang and Director Ren are not easy to fool. Therefore, in such a situation, Ye Ming knows very well that if he wants to impress them, it cannot be accomplished with just two sentences. It must be done from the perspective of the crew.

Of course, I have to say that Director Wang and Director Ren are not those directors and production directors in the future.

Almost all of these young actors in the crew were selected by Director Wang from among so many actors. They all fit Director Wang's vision and thought they would meet the needs of the Red Mansion crew.

It can be said that Director Wang treats these actors as his own children. Therefore, one is to use emotions to impress the director, and the other is to use the crew's actual needs to impress Director Wang. Only by using these two-pronged approach can success be possible.

Director Wang pondered these questions that Ye Ming mentioned and said, "This is actually a question. Can you be sure that if we offer cultural classes, will anyone come to listen?"

Ye Ming immediately said: "This is not a mandatory task. Anyway, the crew invited teachers, or the teachers themselves to teach, which is more than enough. As for whether to come to class, that is up to the actors themselves." The problem is, anyway, the crew is doing their best, they are just doing their best to obey fate."

Ye Ming can think of this, and he is actually doing his best for everyone. Director Wang said with some seriousness: "Yi Zi, in fact, there are some things that you can't change. You want to change them, but after all the hard work, you find that in the end, maybe all the things you do will not work. It’s all in vain, and that’s when you’ll feel the most tragic.

Dream of Red Mansions is a complete tragedy, but life, life is not a complete tragedy.

Perhaps, it is precisely because The Dream of Red Mansions is the same as life, both are complete tragedies. Therefore, this novel can truly touch people's hearts and be famous throughout history. "

Dream of Red Mansions is called the brightest pearl in the history of Chinese literature. This is not just a casual comment, but has been recognized by history.

Maybe in the future, there will be people and novels that will surpass this novel, but, at least for now, Dream of Red Mansions is the greatest literary novel, or even one of them. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Dream of Red Mansions, or even the novel itself, is a tragedy, a complete tragedy.

Ye Ming nodded helplessly and said: "Maybe it means that I understand this truth, but in a situation like this, I feel uneasy with my conscience if I don't do something myself. Maybe what I do does not necessarily mean that they will definitely change them." fate, but I thought about it, if it meant Wu not to make the call, I would have a guilty conscience.

As for whether it is a useless effort, then this means that we can only do our best and listen to fate. "
