The words of that year, Tang Qin remembered, remembered clearly.

It was Director Yang Jie who specially arranged a family banquet to celebrate his victory in Feitian and the Golden Eagle Emperor.

At that time, Director Yang Jie proposed as if joking that when filming the sequel to Journey to the West in the future, Tang Qin would also play Tang Seng.

Tang Qin also agreed, in fact, everyone knows that this is impossible, not that with his current status, he will not play Tang Seng again, but he is too busy now.

But when it comes to Journey to the West, many Chinese people will like the 86 version of "Journey to the West", perhaps, the 86 version of "Journey to the West" is brilliant only because of its creativity and shock, which was really earth-shattering in that era.

Also, everyone generally misses that simple era!

Although the era is different now, Director Yang Jie still has a dream in her heart, which allows her to make up for the wish that the previous filming could not be completed due to lack of funds and technology.

It was still 1988, and the 25 episodes of "Journey to the West" were finally broadcast in full.

But in the later stage of filming, in order to save money, director Yang Jie made a difficult decision - to throw off the wonderful stories of "Crossing the Heavenly River", "True and False Monkey King", "Ambushing the Green Bull Monster", "Saving the Children's City" and "Blocked Lion Camel Ridge".

Now, Director Yang wants to put these stories on the screen in "Journey to the West Sequel".

"You're almost seventy this year." Tang Qin smiled and poured a cup of tea for the old director.

"Two years and seventy." Director Yang Jie is still so cool.

Yes, Tang Qin remembered that Director Yang Jie was 52 years old when he received the filming task of "Journey to the West".

"There is a suitable opportunity for this, I will mention it to Yang Tai." Tang Qin told the truth in front of his teacher, "However, this matter has been very difficult in the past two years."

At this level, Director Yang Jie also wanted to get that the funds and energy in the station were on Water Margin, and it would be thankless to spend so much money to shoot the sequel to Journey to the West.

"Xiao Tang, you also asked me just now, I am sixty-eight years old this year, and I won't be able to shoot in two years......" The old director was very emotional.

This is Director Yang Jie's dream back then, and it is also a regret in this life.

Tang Qin pondered for a moment, "This dream, let's come true together."

We?

Director Yang looked at Tang Qin in surprise.

"Let's raise funds, Cheng Ru is now the production director of Water Margin, and he can't be separated, so let ...... Qiu Peining came back, your scene notes back then, this time you will be the production director, do you think it?"

Yes!

Director Yang Jie smiled, she knew the weight of Tang Qin's words now.

"The screenwriter and actors, as well as the composer, and the makeup, my master Wang Xizhong is now in his eighties, but there are a large number of apprentices, and we still have to find the old man from before and make a sequel that is exactly the same as before......

Unconsciously, Tang Qin began to make requests.

The original sequel changed actors, Zhu Bajie was replaced by Ma Dehua to Cui Jingfu, and Sha Seng was replaced by Yan Huaili to Liu Dagang. Although Tang Qin didn't like them, he couldn't change the role.

The actors of the old version are all famous actors in various theater troupes around the world, and they also have many shadows of classical Chinese drama; The actors of the sequel are completely acting skills of modern urban dramas.

That is to say, when we watch the old version, we feel like we are watching a play, although the stunts are not good, but the cultural flavor is very strong.

Then there is the crazy design of martial arts, which is stinky and long, and it is like making up time.

The monkey fight is similar to the hero in Jin Yong's play, the old pig also has no honest and funny action characteristics, and the fight is vigorous, although the martial arts in the first 25 episodes are simple, but they combine the character characteristics of the characters, and they have their own flavor, and the martial arts actions are all evolved from the drama, which is very feeling.

Besides, martial arts is not an important part of Journey to the West, so there is no need to take the martial arts route.

Also, the music is inferior. Xu Jingqing's classic melody looks at that station, and everyone will be overshadowed.

The difference in filming locations cannot be mentioned, the 86 version was still in the early 80s when it was filmed, so the scenery is still relatively pristine

。

By the time the sequel was filmed, it was the end of the 90s, and tourism was already booming, so there were already many traces of man-made on the filming location, and the previous Lingxiu could no longer be recovered.

"Director Yang, we still have to perform the cultural charm of the famous works, you still have to choose the actors, and the attractions must be run all over the country, I will arrange two assistants for you, planes, trains and cars, you can ...... at will."

"Then I'm not going to be a tourist?" Director Yang Jie's casual ridicule attracted Tang Qin's sighs, back then, CCTV's investigation team also arrived at the crew, just because some people reported that the Journey to the West crew traveled everywhere.

"You are still the same as the first part, the difference is that now we can guarantee your funds, and we don't have to cut the scenes for the sake of funds," Tang Qin said sincerely, "You just shoot for ten or eight years, and we can afford to raise it."

And that's it!

Director Yang Jie breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't expect that this young man who could make her dream come true was actually Tang Seng!

Director Yang Jie is a hot person, now she doesn't have to worry about funds, and she doesn't have to rack her brains for interpersonal relationships in the station, she immediately contacted the screenwriter and got the book out first......

Tang Qin is also very happy, after filming the Water Margin, his own team is ready, he is going to set up his own film and television company, as the first drama of the new company, of course, it can cooperate with CCTV, but the copyright is in his own hands!

Soon, Qiu Peining, who was far away in Hong Kong, also received a call from Tang Qin, she had already planned to return to the mainland, and now she finally made up her mind.

Journey to the West, perhaps, is a good start that can take her back to the old days......

……

Putting down all the work at hand, all of Tang Qin's energy can finally be used for the Water Margin again.

To be honest, the filming of Water Margin can only be said to be half smooth and half not smooth.

Zhu Lei, an actor who loves Zhou Yi, plays Zhang Ganban in the play, and it is said that he once calculated for the crew, saying that the crew's start-up date was not right.

Not only was there a bump in the shooting, but the scenes that had been filmed had to be constantly reworked.

In response to his words, from the trial shooting to the present, there have been more than 60 scenes that have been reworked and filmed, and the wild boar forest is one of them.

Water Margin is not like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a special re-shooting team has been set up, and the re-filming of Water Margin can only be completed by Tang Qin, the chief director.

The scene of the wild boar forest was selected in the BJ Ming Tombs, and the crew was in Yi County, Hebei Province at that time, and it took six hours to go back and forth.

The filming was finished in a few days, but Tang Qin saw it and proposed to reshoot.

The reason is that the trees, although old and imposing, are too sparse and lack a sense of mystery and mystery.

"Tang Qin, your grandma ......" When Li Chengru heard that this scene was going to be refilmed, he scolded directly on the phone, "I heard that others said that the Water Margin crew was a training class, and I was still angry, I think, you are the leader of the training class, no, it's not a training class, it's a money-losing class, you are the money-losing class teacher."

"Then you're the life committee member of the money-losing class." Tang Qin did not show weakness.
