We all know that for a film and television work, the amount of investment can largely determine the color and quality of the work. But just as the so-called money is not blown by the wind, some crews are just stretched thin on the issue of funds, so that they can only save money on the salary of actors and the way of service. It is reasonable to say that such works will certainly be unsatisfactory, but even so, some crews still maintain the last stubbornness, and they use the least amount of money to shoot the best works.
Speaking of such works, the first thing that comes to mind is the 86th edition of "Journey to the West", which is recognized as a classic. How poor was this crew back then? According to Li Chengru, the budget left for the crew that year was only about 6 million. Such a sum of money was definitely a sky-high price for ordinary people at that time, but for a crew, it was undoubtedly too shabby. In addition, such a huge production was actually completed under the service of a camera, and when I learned the news, I almost lost half of my jaw, and I also respected the entire crew from the heart.
It is under such conditions that director Yang Jie and the entire "Journey to the West" crew still showed the dedication attitude that only existed in that era, and presented a TV series that can be called the greatest TV series in the history of the development of Chinese TV dramas in front of the audience. I think when I see this, everyone should give the whole crew a big thumbs up.
The same poor crew also has "Bright Sword".
For the investment of "Bright Sword", it can be said that there are many opinions on the Internet, some say 9 million, some say 16 million, but no matter how much money, this fund is placed in the 21st century, for any crew is not much.
The crew's funds are stretched thin, and we can see it from the simplicity of obedience. There is even a popular meme on the Internet, saying that when The Wei monk was killed by the Erdangjia, Li Yunlong's actor Li Youbin was arranged to make a cameo appearance as one of the Erdangjia's subordinates, and we will not argue about the authenticity of this news, at least the "poor acid" of the crew We really realized.
However, it is precisely because of this simplicity that it complements the era environment at that time, so that the audience has an immersive feeling, and "Bright Sword" has become one of the tv series with the highest replay rate in China because of its compact plot and the solid acting skills of the actors.
Speaking of poor crews, how can it be less than "Chivalrous Line" directed by Wang Xinmin?
The "poor acid" of "Journey to the West" and "Bright Sword" I only learned about later, but the "poor acid" of this version of "Chivalrous" is visible to the naked eye. The costume in the play can be said to reveal the crew's desire for funds everywhere, and the clothing gangs everywhere are even more surprising: Is this really a TV series made in the 21st century?
But even so, Wang Xinmin and a group of actors still presented us with the best version of "Chivalrous Journey" so far. Wu Jian's stone breaking sky and Zhang Yanmin's A embroidery are the classic CP in the hearts of countless people. In addition, although the play is poor, it is not stingy in the key martial arts design, especially the scene of the Stone Breaking Heaven War Heavenly Void Daochang, which can be regarded as a textbook for domestic martial arts dramas.
This crew really spends every penny on the blade.
The works we said above do not have the so-called traffic stars, and there are no gorgeous and cool special effects, what they have, only the simplicity and stubbornness of that era, can shoot works that convince the audience under such difficult conditions, they really deserve the applause of each of us.
I sincerely hope that the current investors will no longer focus on the traffic stars and gorgeous special effects, the quality of the series is excellent, the actors are solid, is the key to the success of a drama.
