From Yihongyuan in "Dream of the Red Chamber",

to Liyuan opera troupe in "Farewell My Concubine",

From the Western architecture in "Midnight Song",

to Afang Palace in "The King of the Western Chu".

He has painted for decades,

uses the most professional architectural design manuscripts,

is for every dazzling director,

draws the most dreamy blueprint of .

Speaking of movies,

The first thing we think of is, which director is

,

, which actor is

,

can really complete a movie work,

often requires a lot of people's efforts behind it.

But unfortunately,

We often remember the director and starring of the opening film,

But it is rarely at the end of the film,

Look at the names of those producers .

In the film industry,

There has been a saying like this:

If you want to make a blockbuster movie, you have to look for Yang Zhanjia !

In the past many years,

" Find Teacher Yang " is a lot of " blockbuster

Please the best choice for art design,

from An Li 's " Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon ",

to Tsui Hark " Seven Swords ",

From Woo Johnson " Chibi ",

to Zhang Yimou " Golden Armor " ...

For decades, in the film industry,

Yang Zhanjia is in the field of art design,

The well-deserved Top figure .

Chen Kaige When filming " Demon Cat Legend ",

had a lot of viewers,

to restore the " Tangcheng " in the video Amazing.

Although this is a movie with fantasy colors,

But unlike many movies that use special effects in the present,

" Tangcheng " took a whole

It is precisely because of such planning and planning that the director of

characters move in the space, and

also has a real foundation.

But 25 years ago,

When Chen Kaige filmed "Farewell My Concubine",

computer special effects are far from popular,

also failed to be so vivid today.

real scene construction is the only choice.

, and the composition of the scene in "Farewell My Concubine",

is Yang Zhan's family.

This film carries Chen Kaige's huge ambitions,

He tries to record the joys and sorrows of three generations with one scene,

thus showing the cultural evolution of a great era.

In order to fulfill Director Chen's hope,

Yang Zhan's family brought ruler, pen, and book,

One person was testing and recording,

traveled all over the gardens of all sizes in the capital.

Let’s look at the floor plan of the ancestor’s yard.

These are all drawn by Yang Zhan’s family one by one.

In order to restore the old Beijing Liyuan Academy,

, the opera garden,

, and even the streets of old Beijing,

, Yang Zhan’s family did various investigations,

, drew nearly 100 design drawings,

, and matched various scenes.

. When drawing these pictures,

It takes one or two days to draw a page.

The crew has prepared for this for more than a year.

Although

Although it is slow, But without these realistic scenes ,

The light and shadow of the century-old era would not be possible.

In this drama,

Yang Zhan’s family met Zhang Yimou’s imperial artist Huo Tingxiao ,

Later, Huo Tingxiao needed art design every time,

asked Yang Zhan’s family to set up the landscape and draw the picture,

was taken to the film factory because of his drawings.

The worker who set up the scenery knew what to do at a glance.

and there was basically no error.

is not like some artists.

The atmosphere is beautifully drawn,

but it cannot be realized.

" After all, Teacher Yang has been drawing for decades,

Your design is incomplete,

He will correct it directly for you.

Hou Tingxiao believes that the pictures drawn by Yang Zhan’s family are the most scientific ones of ,

Whether it is drawing skills or professionalism,

No one can compare with him in Chinese film art.

In "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon",

Director Ang Lee wants to design it,

Refreshing martial arts scene

—Fencing in the sky.

This scene lasts for more than four minutes,

is a fulcrum for supporting the martial arts scenes of the film.

For this drama, the crew set up this house in the studio.

In the manuscript designed by Yang Zhanjia,

We can see the design drawings of this roof, and

are all expressed in line drawing.

This is not the end of roof design.

"The conceptual map is virtual and must be practical."

In the roof details,

also contains the specific design drawings of each house.

Door and window shapes outside the house,

door head, door pier and even couplets on the door,

all have detailed designs and drawings.

These pictures are all hand-drawn!

The lines are neat and concise.

It is precisely because of these artwork designs that

We can appreciate the beautiful martial arts movements of the two protagonists.

In the antique charm,

shows a unique beauty.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" later won the

Oscar for Best Art Guidance Award,

It should be said that there is a lot of Yang Zhan's efforts among them. After the filming of the movie

, he left Ang Lee with an extremely deep impression.

. When the filming of " Sexy·Just " was planned to be filmed a few years later,

Ann Li wanted to invite him again,

But at that time, Yang Zhanjia had already

agreed to John Woo to join the crew of "Red Cliff",

so I regret not being able to cooperate with Ang Lee again.

When participating in the production of "Kung Fu King" and "Mummy 3",

American art director looked at Mr. Yang Zhanjia's picture,

1 specifically instructed: " Don't learn computers! "

Because in the era when computer graphics were popular,

Yang Zhanjia always maintained the principle of hand-drawn creation.

(Part 1) Design drawing of "Kung Fu King", (Part 2) Design drawing of "Making a Fight in the Heavenly Palace"

See his hand-drawn drawing,

Each picture has clear lines,

Fine size and various annotations,

This is almost difficult to imagine in the computer era.

hand-drawing is precious, just because the original intention remains unchanged.

When Yang Zhanjia was in high school, he was going to take the Tsinghua .

However, because art schools were admitted in advance,

so before he could wait for Tsinghua to recruit students,

was admitted to the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts.

Before entering the school, most of the students received professional art training,

But he basically practiced by himself,

Because of his professional level,

He never played on weekends,

, but he was silently making up for the gap.

immediately measure the main size

such as column height, width, depth,

and draw it down.

Once went to the south to collect folk songs,

He saw that the stove in Suzhou Museum is a separate one,

is not like the north, which is connected to the kang.

He recorded the diameter of the pot and drew it into a picture.

Later, when the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" was about to shoot a kitchen scene,

He immediately knew how big the pot was needed and how high the table was.

After graduating from university,

He became the only student who stayed on campus in that class, and

Later, he gradually became the pillar of the school.

986 movie "Dream of Red Mansions" started filming. The series of

has a total of six and eight episodes.

Yang Zhanjia independently led the art design.

In order to complete this masterpiece,

Just to study the original work,

It took him two years to study the original work,

But he is clear in his heart.

990, "Dream of Red Mansions"

won the Golden Rooster Award Best Art Award,

Yang Zhanjia is one of the winners in the same ranking,

But afterwards, Yang Zhanjia always said that he was "helping",

l3

is to realize the director's intention,

without caring about whether he won the award - as he said,

teaches the books well in school,

designs well when making movies,

just do it.

In the past few decades,

Art master Yang Zhanjia

has been "making wedding clothes for others".

Someone asked him if it was worth it,

He waved his hand:

We just need to do what we should do.

Professor Wang Yanjin of the School of Fine Arts of Beijing Film Academy said that

Many of the students he now teaches

Have never even entered the studio,

No emotional knowledge at all,

How can you know what the scene is going on?

"The script has been studied for two years alone. Which group of

can do it?

can't sit down for two months!

We studied "Dream of Red Mansions" back then,

That year, it took two years to study "Dream of Red Mansions",

That was a two-year period."

As a filmmaker,

Yang Zhanjia will also worry about his students:

The current computer special effects,

can make making movies easier and easier,

no longer like in the past,

takes a lot of time to study.

But often do not do well enough,

The reason is that

is more utilitarian,

lacks the spirit of serious research.

In fact, Romanticism ,

are often born under the struggle of realism.

blindly perseveres in the convenience brought by technology,

All we get is a scribbled fragment.
