The story of the Lotus Lantern is born out of folklore.

There are singing books in Henan Opera, Peking Opera, Qin Dialect, Flower Drum Opera, and Yue Opera.

The depictions are all about the Three Virgins Sifan, who fell in love with the mortal Liu Yanchang and married each other and gave birth to a son, Agarwood. Erlang God was furious and pressed it under Huashan (a mangdang mountain), and Liu Agarwood grew up to split the mountain to save his mother.

Erlang God also has the legend of splitting the mountain to save his mother, from a bridge in "Erlang Controls the Water".

Both of these stories appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no one who copied whom.

If you really want to trace the source, the two can be attributed to the story of Mulian saving his mother.

In the versions of various local operas, whether it is Peking Opera or Yue Opera, or even the repertoire of the two people, the focus is on depicting the love story of Liu Yanchang and the Three Virgins and the reunion of mother and son.

But as a TV series, it definitely can't be filmed like this.

Therefore, the screenwriter of this drama has less reference to local dramas, and he attaches more importance to the animated version directed by Chang Guangxi in 99.

After the release of this cartoon, it won two awards: Golden Rooster and Huabiao.

Shangmei's skills are impeccable, and the smoothness from painting to plot is top in the industry.

The theme songs "Three Hundred and Sixty-five Days of Thinking of You", "Heaven and Earth in My Heart", and "Love is Just One Word" will not be mentioned.

What's even more commendable is that elements of Journey to the West are integrated into this version, making Sun Wukong Liu Shenxiang's master. Such a familiar face appeared on the stage, which undoubtedly made the audience's acceptance much higher.

And Sun Wukong originally carried the label of resistance in the minds of the Chinese people, which also coincided with the behavior of agarwood in the play.

This play also borrows from this element and introduces the role of Zhu Bajie.

Their team likes Journey to the West, and later there are also two characters in Bajie and Sun Wukong in the magic phone.

These two actors performed well, and the actor Ding Jian, who played the Monkey King, also served as a stand-in for Teacher Six in the sequel to Journey to the West.

The breakthrough of this version of Baolian Lantern starring Cao Jun is to add Liu Shenxiang's love line in this play.

There is no mention of Liu Agarxiang's love in various local dramas, but the screenwriter can fill in a logical and self-consistent love triangle with this familiar myth.

It can only be said that there is no shortage of good screenwriters in China.

Wan Qian plays the role of the "third party" Lilac in the play.

The main episode is that the eighth prince likes her, she likes agarwood, agarwood likes Xiaoyu, and a series of emotional entanglements like human centipedes.

It's vulgar, but it works.

is both a lover and a beloved person, and the role of Lilac is very outstanding.

This role is a big girl, and Wan Qian is also very handy.

Ji Yun sat on the edge of the shed and quietly watched Wan Qian's play.

"What did you shoot in the last film?"

Zhao Jian stood beside Ji Yun, and he had nothing to say.

"Disciple, a play of Xiangjiang."

"Oh?" Zhao Jian was surprised: "You still take the line on the other side of the Xiangjiang River?" ”

Zhao Jian himself rose in Xiangjiang, and he became famous there. However, he foresaw the decline of Xiangjiang, and was invited by the crew of "Book of Swords and Enmity" in 94, and then returned to the mainland to develop his career.

For Xiangjiang, he naturally has some feelings.

In his eyes, Xiangjiang is basically equivalent to a pool of stagnant water, but it is faintly developing in the direction of enclosure and self-sprouting, and it is really not easy for Ji Yun to shoot a drama there.

"Sort of." Ji Yun didn't want to explain more.

If a sentence is repeated three times, there is a suspicion of the number of water words.

"What's next for you?"

Zhao Jian has played a lot of roles, Fei Bin in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Zhao Tonghai in "The Sword of the Deep House", the money leopard in "Swallow Li San", the most brilliant is Zhao Tianba in the third part of "Huang Feihong", and his excellent martial arts experience has made him one of the best action directors in China after moving behind the scenes.

If he can assist in the filming of Embroidered Spring Knife 2, he is much more reliable than Yu Min's old boy.

"The new "Journey to the West" is about to be established, so I can spare some time."

At the mention of this stubble, his face bloomed like a chrysanthemum.

Directing Journey to the West! This is a remarkable achievement, although Ji Yun disdained this invitation, but a large number of people rushed to it.

As long as the four famous novels are filmed, no matter what the reputation is, it is certain that they will be popular.

"It will take a few years, military dramas have just become popular in the past two years, and we have to win this wave of market."

"That's right." Zhao Jian nodded.

When it comes to researching the market, he really doesn't have the understanding of these young people thoroughly.

"Have you seen the embroidered spring knife before?"

"Look, it's a good shot!" Zhao Jian gave a thumbs up.

Although many people have not heard of Zhao Jian's reputation, in the circle, his name is extremely loud.

He has his own views on martial arts, and it is also the first time that he distinguishes between "martial arts" and "Xianxia" between action design and special effects.

In the Hong Kong version of Tianlong, all the character amplification moves are special effects.

For example, Qiao Gang Leader's Eighteen Dragon Descending Palms, Duan Yu's Six-Vein Laser.

But in the mainland version of Tianlong, he turned the tangible special effects into intangible for the first time, which increased the number of scenes of the two fighting against each other.

The action design of the embroidered spring knife coincides with him. It's also somewhere between gorgeous and real, especially the final battle in the final scene.

There is no light skill that comes and goes, and there is no big move that shines all over the body, and it is chic and neat to come and go.

Such an action scene, he praised it from the heart.

"The second part of the embroidered spring knife is about to start filming, can you please direct the action shots."

"This..."Zhao Jian was a little embarrassed, Journey to the West he was already next.

He wasn't given permission to know when the phone would be turned on, but since he agreed, he had to guard himself like jade.

Although the embroidered spring knife is very famous, and it won the luxury data of 120 million box office when it was released, it is still a little worse than Journey to the West.

If the next embroidery spring knife is turned on at the same time, he will not miss a great opportunity.

"If you come, I'll put your name in the opening credits, in the director's column."

"Huh?" Zhao Jian was stunned, a little dazed.

The industry generally positions Zhao Jian as an action director.

This title is quite embarrassing, this title originated in China, and it is slowly drying up in Hollywood.

But it is not recognized by the West, just like top action directors like Eight Masters and Yuan Kui who design action scenes abroad, they can only be installed with the title of war art design and appear at the end of the film.

Action directors are quite popular in China, but they are not as famous as real directors.

After all, action directors like Cheng Xiaodong who have the ability to take charge of literature and drama are a minority, and more are partial players like Zhao Jian, who can basically only be deducted from the position of action design.

Ji Yun wants to mention him to the beginning of the film, that is the position of the chief director!

"We filmed this drama quickly, it is estimated that it will be completed in two or three months, so I won't delay you from taking the book of Journey to the West." Ji Yun chuckled and continued to bewitch.

Zhao Jian thought for a while, "You send me the book." ”

It's done!

Ji Yun was overjoyed, "Okay, I'll ask my agent to send it to you when I go back." ”

Put him in the director's position, he and Ning Hao passed through the gas, and there was no opinion over there.

It's not that he's broad-hearted, it's that it really doesn't affect him.

This is a name, and there is a little trouble when it comes to judging the Best Director Award.

But if he really wants to win the award, he must come to the stage to accept the award, after all, a film that advertises many action elements, and what really occupies the space is the literary drama.

Besides, this film is good, but it is still 108,000 miles away from the best director.
