The story of Zhu Yuanzhang stationing troops in the west of Shanxi was broadcast on CCTV 6, and also appeared on the home pages of major video websites such as Tudou and Youku.
On May 3 1 day, the reporter visited Zhu Decai, the screenwriter of this film. This is a 68-year-old man, a member of Zhejiang Writers Association and a retired veteran cadre in Lanxi. 1972 started literary creation. In the early 1990s, he created four TV series, including Black Fairy, which were filmed and broadcast in CCTV and other media.
Zhu Decai has always enjoyed writing plays. On one occasion, he found that Jinxi Development Zone is rich in tourism resources, and Jiufeng Mountain has beautiful scenery and profound cultural heritage. Zhu Yuanzhang has been here, and it is said that the founder of Dharma also practiced here.
Therefore, Zhu Decai consulted a large number of historical materials, wrote a script, and wrote the story of Zhu Yuanzhang in Jinxi: "When Zhu Yuanzhang hit Jinhua, it was not smooth at first and was defeated. Later, he personally led troops to come over and stationed troops in Jinxi. He heard that this is a place where talented people come forth in large numbers. He found Liu Ji and Song Lian and got their assistance. "
The background of the story is summarized in one sentence. There is a cloud at the beginning of the film: "In the eighteenth year of Zheng Zheng, Zhu Yuanzhang led an army to station troops outside Wuzhou City, hoping to have a fierce battle with the Yuan army that occupied Wuzhou City at that time."
It's a low-budget movie and a promotional film.
"This is not a movie in the pure sense, but actually a promotional film. After watching this film, many people repeatedly said that they didn't expect Jinxi to be such a beautiful and outstanding place. " As for the significance of publicity, there are many details in the film.
Example 1: Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I heard that there are many literati and talents in Wuzhou, which is the settlement of Neo-Confucianism."
Example 2: When Zhu Yuanzhang visited Liu Ji and Song Lian in Jiufeng Mountain, Chang Yuchun said with emotion, "I have been to many places, but I didn't expect Jinxi to be so beautiful." Liu Bowen said, "There are Dharma Cave and Alchemy Cave, where Dharma and Ge Hong cultivate immortality."
After the script was written, Zhu Decai found a young director, Yin Yue, who was only 28 years old and also from Lanxi. After graduating from the advertising department of Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, he has his own film and television studio. He has shot many advertisements and promos for well-known enterprises such as China Mobile and China Telecom, and his youth sci-fi short film "Have you forgotten our secret base" has also been broadcast on six major CCTV movie channels.
Jinxi Development Zone invested 6.5438+0.5 million yuan to shoot this film. Zhu Desheng, deputy director of the Administrative Committee Office of Jinxi Development Zone, Zhejiang Province, said that there are image propaganda films in many places, but it is rare to make historical dramas into local image propaganda films. "The story of Zhu Yuanzhang's stationing troops and Shanxi Province" has been published in three or four thousand DVDs, all of which have been robbed. Many people are very interested and curious. Did Jinxi Development Zone also make a movie? "
Director Yin Yue: It could be better.
Although a native of Lanxi, he studied in Jinhua, but director Yin Yue has never been to Jiufeng Mountain. After receiving the script, he went to Jiufeng Mountain twice to see the scenery on the spot, conceived the shooting plan, and discussed with Zhu Decai to revise the script.
This is the first time that Yin Yue directed a costume drama. Ancient costume weapons come from Hengdian Film and Television City. Most actors are very young. The heroine graduated from the Performance Department of Zhejiang Media College and acted in some TV series. The hero is an advertising actor.
The crew mainly shot in Jiufeng Mountain Scenic Area and Siping Village. In all, more than 40 people participated in the filming of this film.
The filming of this drama started at the beginning of 20 10, and the weather was very cold. Limited by time and funds, the actual shooting time is only one week. "It was a bit hasty, but everyone worked hard."
There was a scene shot on the Lanjiang River, and shooting started at 5: 00 in the morning. "In the early morning of deep winter, it is on the Lanjiang River. The hero and heroine are all wearing thin costumes, shivering with cold and very hard. Then the heroine caught a cold. "
The crew has about three or four days to shoot in Jiufeng Mountain. It was really hard for the crew to climb the mountain more than 300 meters above sea level with heavy shooting equipment.
Yin Yue told reporters that filming is not for fun. When shooting this film, you have to shoot dozens of shots a day and run at least two points. Still have to put on record: what if it rains? Shoot what? Some shots can't be shot at once, so we have to shoot them again and again. For example, a conversation between Zhu Yuanzhang's family of three has many lines and repeated 10 many times.
20 1 1 In the second half of the year, this film was put on the shelves of major video websites. After enjoying the film, many netizens have many comments on it, with mixed opinions. Some netizens said, I didn't expect Jinxi to be so beautiful, so I should come and see it. In Tudou.com, 74 netizens supported the film, and only 6 people were booed. "I shot Zhu Yuanzhang's character, and the whole film has a feeling of the Ming Dynasty." Some netizens commented.
There are also many voices of doubt. "The post-processing of color is good, and the original words of dialogue are not bad, but they are handled a little stiffly by actors. Plot switching is still possible. I can understand the historical events in Jinhua. " "Zhu Yuanzhang is a bit too handsome." "The Yuan generals guarding Jinhua City were overwhelmed and died in two seconds."
"Post-production took more than a month, and then the overall effect was good. After all, it is also a short film. Budget and time are limited. Some plots have not yet begun, and only literary dramas can be filmed, and martial arts dramas have not yet been played. "
Zhu Decai believes that although there are some flaws in the film, there are also many bright spots, such as the beautiful scenery of Jiufeng Mountain. As a small budget short film shot by young people, it is worth encouraging.
Yin Yue said that because this film is a commercial propaganda after all, it can't be completely equivalent to a feature film, so there may be some gaps in the audience's mind after the film is released. As a director, he did his best when shooting this film under limited conditions, but the film did have many shortcomings. I hope I can shoot more mature works in the future.
Historical expert: Zhu Yuanzhang may be stationed in Jinxi.
A historical drama can't be made without historical basis. Has Zhu Yuanzhang been to Jinxi? Zhu Decai believes that Jinxi is the base area where Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Jinhua. According to relevant historical records, Zhu Yuanzhang may have indeed been here.
According to the General History of China, in 1357, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Deng Yu, Hu Dahai Kehuizhou and Xiuning to attack Wuzhou again, but failed to take it. In November of the following year, Zhu Yuanzhang personally made an expedition and conquered Wuzhou in December. According to Tangxi County Records, Zhu Yuanzhang once washed his hands in a pond, and the water was as hot as soup, so he named it Tang Tang. Later, he built a county and named it Tangxi. It is said that this pond is still here today.
There is a cloud in the History of Ming Dynasty: "One day, people in the city thought it was different when they saw the five-color clouds in the west of the city like car covers. Yes, I am stationed for Taizu. " The military camp where the "Five-color Cloud" Taizu was stationed was a vast and flat field around Tangxi Tang Chi. Zhu Yuanzhang is in Jinhua. 1September 359, ordered Chang Yuchun to capture Quzhou;1June 360, ordered Hu Dahai to capture Shangrao and other places today. Well, there are about 20 months, and Zhu Yuanzhang's army base camp is in Tangxi. Tangxi is a strategic place of "going south and being strict in the north". Moreover, in those days, "thanks to Emperor Longfei, Taizu Gaozong waited on his advice, and customized the author to live in the temple, generally for many people", referring to Liu Ji, Song Lian and others.
Gong Jianfeng, a master tutor at the School of Humanities, Zhejiang Normal University, believes that it is possible for Zhu Yuanzhang to station troops in Jinxi. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's attack route was from Anhui to Lanxi and then to Jinhua. Legend has it that Hu Dahai did not win Jinhua, and the army was blocked in the west of the city. It is reasonable to stay in Jinxi for the time being.
