What Jiang Xia called a five-star true god drama is a TV series with mixed reviews, filmed in 2000, called "Journey to the West". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info?? w?w?w?.
Jiang Xia has always insisted that this TV series has not been replayed indefinitely like other popular TV series, but its special effects are too scummy.
The originator of the ghost animal is not talking about playing, an action is repeated three times, and all angles allow you to see more clearly, just like 3D surround stereo, three-dimensional can be. I have to admit that the action director at that time, that is, Mr. Cao Rong, who played Wukong, deserves to be the master who can fight 10,000 with a combat strength of 6,000, which is really powerful.
When Jiang Xia first selected the drama, he set his sights on the Sword and Fairy series, and the two TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III" are both guaranteed ratings and classics. But there are no games in the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series in this world, and if you purely make TV series, it seems a bit rough, and you have to go to the idol school.
For idol TV series, Jiang Xia has always been resistant, so he didn't choose the Sword and Fairy series.
also chose the sequence in Jiangxia, and there is also a "Baolian Lantern". Jiang Xia has not watched this TV series less, Jiao Enjun's Erlang God in the play is simply handsome, even if Jiang Xia is a big man, he also feels that this person looks like this, it is simply unreasonable. And at that time, I felt that my English was too comfortable for the eighth year, and it was simply not like a person.
Characters such as the fourth princess and the eighth prince of the little fox have been added, making the story of the whole "Baolian Lantern" more interesting, and the "Heaven and Earth are endless, thousands of miles of tracking" is also very funny, and there is also warmth and family affection in the midterm.
"Baolian Lantern" as a whole is definitely an excellent drama production, and the reason why "Baolian Lantern" was not chosen was after Jiang Xia compared it with "Journey to the West".
As far as the core of the story is concerned, everyone is familiar with the story of "Baolian Lantern", and "Journey to the West" only knows what story it wants to tell.
Although after watching the TV series, I knew that the main line of "Journey to the West" was also very simple, but I couldn't stand it and didn't know it at first.
In comparison, "Journey to the West" is better.
The same is true of "The Legend of the White Snake", Liu Tao's version of "The Legend of the White Snake" is also very good, let Jiang Xia see for himself, "The Legend of the White Snake" is a little better than "The Legend of the New White Lady", at least Jiang Xia has a lower favorability for "The Legend of the New White Lady" that is sung at every turn.
The grievance entanglement between Fahai and Bai Suzhen in "The Legend of the White Snake", Xu Xian's emotional drama has also increased, and it is no longer simply hello to Bai Suzhen, hello, hello, everyone, with the competition of forsythia, the sense of drama conflict is stronger.
Compared with "Journey to the West", the story is still familiar, and the two PKs are better than "Journey to the West".
Jiang Xia personally likes the adaptations of traditional stories in "Baolian Lantern" and "The Legend of the White Snake", which can be regarded as mythological stories, but in terms of the depth and breadth of the plot, they are not as good as "Journey to the West".
Although it only tells the story after returning from the scriptures, the characters are very boldly adapted. Tang Seng has completely evolved into a brave warrior monk, Wukong's role has been infinitely exaggerated, the Buddha has been infinitely bureaucratized, and all the generals in the heavenly court except for Nezha are playing soy sauce......
Such an adaptation, some people feel that it is a failure, and some people feel that it is a surprise. Jiang Xia just felt that it was a surprise, such a story is really rare and rare.
Not to mention the salvation of the world in the main line, even the emotional line of Ling'er on the branch line is also good. Whether it is the White Lotus or Biyou, or even the flashing Xie Dajia......
It was also more than ten years later that Jiang Xia learned that Yu Yuexian, who played Xie Dajiao in "Country Love", also starred in Wuzhen in "Journey to the West". I can't believe it's the same person, as if I can't connect the eight masters of "Yongzheng Dynasty" with the sinister Pang Taishi of "Young Bao Qingtian".
The actor's basic acting skills are no problem, Kuroko's acting skills are great, but Kuroko's acting skills are good, and the rest of the people's acting skills are not scum, but they are really a little worse.
Compared with the opening and ending songs, Jiang Xia even felt that the budget of the whole drama spent money to invite Liu Huan and Mao Amin to sing, so that the actors' acting skills were average, and the final special effects were also average. The quality of the opening and ending songs is too high, and it is simply the treatment that only the four famous novels should have.
Liu Huan's "I Want to Become an Immortal", even after many years, many people can still sing the sentence "I want to become an immortal, happy Qitian".
Mao Amin's "Acacia" is so delicate that Jiangxia doesn't dare to say that she will give this song to Gong Shan to sing, for fear that she will ruin the song. "The most willing to forget the poetry of the ancients, the most disdainful is lovesickness. This lyric is written about how hurtful, and the song of Teacher Sanbao is well matched, and the whole is really god-level.
is for the sake of these two songs before and after, Jiang Xia feels that he can't do it without this drama.
wrote this script, Jiang Xia's first choice is the actor, the most complained about in this drama in his previous life was the special effects stunts, the actor's acting skills are also quite average, the facial paralysis monkey whose neck can't turn, just such a one is enough to complain.
When telling You Fangfei, Jiang Xia told her that she had an investment of 90 million, and at least 20 million in the period would be used for post-production, just to ensure that there would be no recurrence of three times. The remaining 70 million investment, Jiang Xia's initial plan, about 45 million to hire actors, excluding the cost of Jiang Xia and Gong Shan, can have 40 million to hire actors, 30 million to shoot.
Compared with the total filming cost of more than 20 million yuan for "Youth Bao Qingtian", the production cost of this drama is absolutely shocking.
Jiang Xia's "Youth Bao Qingtian" was originally a classic drama, no matter what aspect it was, it could be perfectly reproduced. "Journey to the West" is not good, you can only copy the script, and even in some small places, Jiang Xia also revised the lines.
If Jiang Xia had been filming as it had been, there would have been no need to shoot this drama. He is ready to spend such a large price to hire actors, just to make it better, the overall acting skills must be raised, the special effects and stunts must be watched, and the martial arts scenes must be exciting.
When Jiang Xia returned to the capital on Treasure Island, he met with his filming team.
In view of the success of "Young Bao Qingtian", this time Gongshan Studio wants to shoot a new drama, and the partner is very easy to find, the largest partner is CCTV, followed by Ludong TV, and then Guangdong TV, Shaanxi TV. There are also several entertainment companies, all-round cooperation.
After all, with an investment of 90 million, Gongshan Studio dares to claim it, and the rest of the people are somewhat confident. You Fangfei communicated the script with them, and they could also see the quality of the script, although the personalities of several familiar characters in Journey to the West changed big enough, but the overall plot pattern was also big enough.
CCTV's participation in cooperation is the benefit that Jiang Ming said before that the General Administration focuses on. CCTV also wants to shoot mythological dramas, but there is no good script, just at this time I found this script of Jiangxia, and the General Administration is also very optimistic, and when the policy has not yet come out, it is in front of the policy, which is worthy of strong support.
CCTV has a very strong relationship with the General Administration, so it is natural to cooperate with the trend. The rest of the TV stations are also very eye-catching, and they all cooperate with Gongshan Studio, so they will cooperate.
There are many partners, and the pressure on Jiangxia is much less, at least 90 million yuan of investment does not have to be fully paid, and all partners involved in the cooperation have more or less a little.
The final cooperative shooting team has also been almost integrated, there are still three months before the start of filming, and the preliminary preparations have begun, costumes, actors, props, etc., all gathered together, waiting for Jiang Xia to come to the meeting.
Jiang Xia is a screenwriter, a director, a producer, a producer, and a monopoly on power.
There are no opinions in all aspects, they all know that Jiang Xia has a strong desire to control, and everyone knows his meager statement. Everyone also believes in him, and the success of "Young Bao Qingtian" has made many people begin to ignore Jiang Xia's age and face up to this artist who does not take the usual path.
Jiang Xia came to the meeting, mainly to talk about the production of props and some modeling problems. There are special stylists, but Jiang Xia is afraid that their whole shape is too thunderous, so he must take a look at it first. The action director didn't need Jiang Xia to do it, so he specially invited a team.
CCTV is well-connected, this kind of professional martial arts instructor, Jiangxia they also invited to shoot "Young Bao Qingtian", the cost is much more than that invited by CCTV, and it is not as well-known as this team.
People are more angry than people, Jiang Xia met with them, and didn't say what the specific situation was, just gave them a copy of the script and asked them to design some actions according to the script first.
The filming team, Jiang Xia has nothing to guide, and it depends on the specific situation.
The most important post-production special effects team, Jiang Xia specially looked at the previous works of this team before reassuring to enable them.
Jiang Xia met the entire crew, and then the actors. He has long identified the actor who is the villain and the lawless actor is himself.
didn't think about acting more Tang Seng and Ling'er, or even Wukong, he just wanted to play the villain Wutian.
If he doesn't play Tang Seng, Tang Seng needs to shave his head, and he doesn't want to shave. doesn't play Ling'er, it's Ling'er who has emotional dramas, and he is psychologically afraid that he won't be able to get by. If you don't play Wukong, it's troublesome to make up.
He wants to play lawless, but also to challenge himself, he has also figured out this kind of villain role in this whole year of honing his acting skills, although the age is not enough, he can make up for it with makeup.
As the most complex character in the whole play, Wutian tests his acting skills very much, which is what Jiang Xia needs.
The rest of the actors were also invited, and some asked to come over to audition, Jiang Xia made a unified arrangement, stayed in the capital for a few days, and tried a lot of actors' plays. The investment in the whole drama is not small, but the first line still hasn't invited one, and the second line has not been able to invite anyone except Gong Shan.
It's not that the money is not enough, it's that they have already arranged the time and don't have a schedule to shoot. Jiang Xia looked at the actor team, and the third-tier stars and fourth-tier stars were still the main force.
"When, let you guys come to play the master's play on the schedule!" Jiang Xia muttered to himself unhappily. (To be continued.) )
