Chapter 104: Republic of China Movie, Seeing the Light of Day Again (Part 4)

On the screen, the program screen cut to the 86 version of "Journey to the West", and in the prelude to "Cloud Palace Xunyin", Li Li's full magnetic voice slowly gushed out:

"In the history of my country's TV dramas, the most successful and far-reaching filming is the 86 version of "Journey to the West". The show started filming in 1982, and under extremely difficult filming conditions, it took six years to complete all 25 episodes of filming on New Year's Eve in 1988. ”

Barrage flies:

"Hey, isn't it, isn't it? Isn't it the 86 version of "Journey to the West", why did it become a filming and broadcasting at the same time?"

"Filming for 6 years, filming and broadcasting, how can I watch it? How many episodes do you watch a year?"

"Mr. Li's sentence is inconsistent, I said the 86 version of "Journey to the West" before, and then said that it started to be filmed and broadcast in 82, and then it was said that all 25 episodes were filmed in 88, why is it so messy, so how can it be called the 86 version of Journey to the West? Why not call it the 82 version or the 88 version?"

The content of Li Li's current episode is not on the 86 version of "Journey to the West", it is just the introduction of the whole episode, so Li Li did not explain much in the show.

However, netizens are hiding the dragon and crouching tiger, and a group of people sent a barrage to answer questions and solve doubts for the majority of netizens:

""Journey to the West" started filming in 82, and since 1983, the episodes that have been filmed that year will be broadcast on the New Year every year.

"In 1986, 11 episodes were broadcast in a row on the New Year, which caused a sensation across the country and received extremely high reviews, creating a myth of 89.4% ratings. So it is generally called the 86 version of "Journey to the West". ”

"Due to a shortage of funds, the TV series that was originally expected to be 30 episodes has been compressed to 25 episodes!"

"This TV series is so interesting behind the scenes, Liu Xiaoqing, who was popular back then, was originally going to play the role of the white bone spirit, but because Liu Xiaoqing had to play multiple roles, but the director didn't agree, so I regretted missing it. ”

"The crew of "Journey to the West" was also reported at the time, saying that they were traveling in the mountains and rivers in the name of filming TV series, and the investigation team was stationed in the crew, haha!"

……

In the program screen, Li Li: "The filming of "Journey to the West" continues to create a record for the filming cycle of TV dramas, and it has even traveled to Thailand, Yindu and other regions to take photos on the spot, creating a precedent for TV drama shooting in China.

"Journey to the West" has been replayed more than 3,000 times and has a far-reaching impact, such an unsurpassable classic TV series, many people think that it is the earliest work of the original book to be filmed into a film and television drama, but this is not the case. ”

The words fell, everything was on the show screen, and the editing screen of another earlier version of "Journey to the West" appeared, but it was just ...... The picture is a little dirty.

"Ya Butterfly!

In the picture, a woman in a green costume is being hugged by a fat man with two locks of beard. The woman's mouth kept shouting, "Ya Butterfly!

The barrage is completely confused, what's the situation? This voice is so familiar!

In the program, Li Li introduced: "The above picture is the scene of Zhu Bajie teasing Chang'e, from the island country version of "Journey to the West".

The first episode of the island version of Journey to the West was broadcast on October 1, 1978, with a total of 26 episodes. Due to its popularity in the island country, 26 episodes of "Journey to the West 2" were produced and broadcast from November 11, 1979 to May 4, 1980. ”

In the show, the editing of the island country version of "Journey to the West" kept playing, and the audience was simply eye-opening, and it was quite spicy!

As the commentary progressed, the audience was completely stunned, and they were scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.

It turns out that Tang Seng can be played by women, played by popular actress Masako Natsume;

It turned out that to treat Sun Wukong's injury, Tang Seng could use kiss therapy;

It turns out that Sun Wukong is also very feminine, and there will be fans who fall under his leather skirt;

……

In the program, Li Li's commentary continues: the island version of "Journey to the West" has a far-reaching influence, and since November 1979, an English dubbed version has been broadcast on the BBC in the United Kingdom, and the version has also been broadcast in Australia, New Zealand, Xiangjiang and other places.

However, the island country version of "Journey to the West" is not the earliest "Journey to the West" film and television drama theme.

Below, we turn the hands of time to a turbulent era. ”

The video content has been changed to black and white, which is a precious documentary tape of the old Shanghai Tang.

Li Li: "In 1927, a silent film called "Pansi Cave" was born, which caused a huge impact as soon as it was broadcast, and successfully made a profit of 50,000 yuan for the distribution company! This is the earliest "Journey to the West" theme film and television drama. ”

As soon as the screen turned, the black-and-white silent video began to play. The entire audience instantly stretched their necks, and the barrage instantly flooded the screen.

"This ...... When you were in the Republic of China, you filmed "Journey to the West"?"

"This is definitely a movie from our ancestors!"

"Wow, what an eye-opener!"

"It's too insightful!"

"Mr. Li is really rummaging through boxes and cabinets in order to make a show!"

"No, I understand this "Pansi Cave", isn't the relevant film and television materials lost?"

……

In the screen of the program, some extremely precious and scarce pictures of "Pansi Cave" kept playing, and the actresses wearing belly pockets and sexy spider spirits made the audience exclaim.

No one could have imagined that the scale of movies in the Republic of China period could be so large! It is easy to say that it is easy to say that it is open and bare-chested, but it was put on the screen in that era, which is unimaginable.

Li Li introduced the plot of this movie.

The film is adapted from the plot of Pansi Cave in the original book of "Journey to the West".

On the way to learn scriptures in the west, the spider spirit captured Tang Seng, and Zhu Bajie, who has always been lustful, coveted the beauty of the banshee, so he turned into a fish and frolicked with them, and was also captured by the banshee.

Sun Wukong transformed into a butterfly to find out the whereabouts of the master, and fought the Pansi Cave, but did not rescue the master, and finally with the help of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Tang Seng successfully escaped.

Li Li: "Due to the lack of funds in this film, the whole family of director Du Yu participated in the performance, his nephew Dan Ganting served as the photographer, his wife Yin Mingzhu played the spider spirit, and his great-great-grandson played Xiaodao Tong......

As soon as "Pansi Cave" came out, thousands of people were empty, and the box office was unprecedentedly hot. The film then received a huge response again in the Nanyang region. It was released in Norway in January 1929, and the title of the film was translated as "Spider Spirit".

However, because this film is considered to highlight the beauty of women's posture and beautiful faces, full of pictures of women wearing belly pockets and men exposing their bodies, it was banned by the Republic of China because it was too avant-garde and considered vulgar.

Since the ban, the film has been lost, and there is no trace!"

In the program screen, the black-and-white silent video of "Pansi Cave" kept playing, and all the audience was confused, and the barrage was full of question marks:

"It's all lost, isn't this film on the show?"

"Where did you get the broadcast now?"

"Big brother, don't pause in your explanation, say, we're waiting for the decryption!"

……

After a pause in his commentary, Li Li continued: "It was not until 2011 that the National Library of Norway began to count nearly 9,000 old films in its collection, during which time the old film of "Pansi Cave" was unexpectedly discovered and restored.

On April 14, 2014, the National Library of Norway officially announced that it would send a copy of this classic Chinese silent film "Pansi Cave" to China.

At this point, this Republic of China version of "Pansi Cave" has finally seen the light of day.

Considering the limitations of the times, "Pansi Cave" is considered the oldest cult film in China with its boldness, nudity, hideousness, and gloomy characteristics that transcend the times, and there is almost no controversy!

This silent film of "Pansi Cave", we took a lot of effort and tossed and turned, and finally borrowed a copy to serve the audience here.

Let's introduce the next cult!"

At this time, the barrage frantically emerged:

"I'll go, it's really eye-opening, it's really insightful!"

"27 years, 90 years ago, oh my God!"

"Is there a link? Can anyone provide it? I must worship my predecessors!"

"I've been in Baidu for a long time, I can only find pictures, who has the video?"

"Find Teacher Li for it! Now we only know that Teacher Li has it!"

"Teacher Li, give the link, give the seed, I want to see the big white legs of the girl in the Republic of China!"

"I want to see it too, I want to see the belly pocket!"

"Line up and try to get Mr. Li's attention, link! link!"

"Link +1!"

"Link +2!"

"Big White Legs +3!"

……

In the screening room, Li Li bowed his head silently, friends, if these people were alive, they would be more than a hundred years old!
