If it weren't for Zhang Weijian, Chen Haomin's masterpiece would only be a bunch of scumbags
In 1996, Zhang Weijian's version of "Journey to the West" quickly exploded on the screen as soon as it was broadcast, TVB only relied on sponsorship and various advertising and copyright fees to earn 200 million, watching such a huge profit TVB immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue and successively launched a number of mythical film and television dramas, of course, "Journey to the West" this big IP they naturally will not only squeeze oil once, and the next year began to prepare for the sequel "Heaven and Earth Battle for the Monkey King".
Originally, TVB also planned to let Zhang Weijian continue to play Sun Wukong, but at this time, Zhang Weijian felt that TVB's salary was too low and asked the top management for a salary increase, but the result was not only rejected but also hidden by the top management, so Zhang Weijian survived until the contract expired and went to Taiwan and the mainland to develop.
Zhang Weijian can't act, but the TV series can't be filmed. It was also this opportunity that allowed Chen Haomin, who played Duan Yu in "Dragon Babu", to be favored by the director and won the role of Monkey King. Although the audience's recognition and reputation may not be as good as Zhang Weijian, it has to be said that Chen Haomin also "eats all the dividends" by relying on this role.
Seeing that the costume mythological market is so popular, with the popularity of "Journey to the West", TVB once again gathered people to prepare for the remake of the classic work "Romance of the Gods". But as soon as this idea was spoken, it was opposed by many people.
Because this work has been filmed several versions before this, especially Fu Yiwei and Lan Tianye's version is a classic among the classics, with pearl jade in front, even TVB with a big business does not dare to start easily. But director Liu Shiyu couldn't manage so much, that is, he recognized "Romance of the Gods".
The former is so classic, if you copy this shot, it will naturally not be brilliant, and if you want to win, you must go sideways. So the crew held a poll and pulled out the most popular Nezha, Yang Jian, and Lei Zhenzi in the survey results as the protagonists, and the actors of these three protagonists chose Chen Haomin, who just relied on the fire of "Journey to the West", Qian Jiale and Li Jiasheng, the king of stand-ins.
In the process of adapting the script, the screenwriter ingeniously divided the plot story into two chapters: Aiko, Deep Love and Zhongyi Qiankun. However, no one expected that the section was more popular than its loyal mother-son relationship.
Did you know? In fact, Yin Shiniang in the list of gods should have been offline a long time ago, but Yuan Qiongdan insisted on relying on his strength to let the director take the initiative to add drama to himself.
When filming "Feng Shen List", the director encountered a "big trouble", that is, Yuan Qiongdan, who played Yin Shiniang, played a funny role similar to Sister Pomegranate "self-destructing image" before that, and suddenly let her play such a tragic role, the contrast before and after is really a bit big, and the director is afraid that the audience will play a play after seeing it.
In fact, not only the director has this concern, even Yuan Qiongdan himself is a little worried, every day before the start of filming, he does not know how long the emotions have been brewing alone, at first she did not achieve the expected effect and even thought about resignation, but at this time a lot of accidents occurred on her body one after another.
While shooting the exterior, he was seriously injured and his relatives passed away. Before she came out of her grief, her mother was sick and hospitalized again and couldn't even walk. At that time, Yuan Qiongdan didn't want to go home to visit her mother, but her mother called him and told her to work hard and not come back. After listening to her mother's advice, Yuan Qiongdan was a little relieved and continued to stay in the crew to film.
In this way, Yuan Qiongdan's mood outside the play during the filming was very heavy, so it was easy to play the tragic character of Yin Shiniang. It is worth mentioning that she has a lot of crying scenes in the play, but she performs very well in every crying scene, although this version of Yin Shiniang has changed a lot, but through Yuan Qiongdan's interpretation let the audience empathize fiercely, it is even more unbearable to cry, and you can feel the deep mother-son love between her and Nezha across the screen. However, many of these tears were expressed because they thought of their mothers.
At the same time, it is precisely because Yuan Qiongdan's acting skills are so good, so Yin Shiniang, who should have been offline a long time ago, was temporarily added by the director to the finale before the finale. I don't know if everyone likes Yin Shiniang played by Yuan Qiongdan?
TV series are certainly good dramas, but when they were filming, the crew's life was not very good.
