In 2004, Yu Bo had just received 2.6 million yuan for "Water Moon Cave Days" and turned around to buy two dilapidated courtyards in Beijing. At that time, no one was optimistic about him, but now Yu Bo is worth more than 100 million yuan with these 2 sets of courtyards. Although he is no longer a small fresh meat, in 2004, Yu Bo starred in "Water Moon Cave Heaven" is a fire theme. At that time, the identities of the actors in the group were mysterious, so that other classic films and televisions were remade many times, why did no one dare to try "Water Moon Cave Heaven" so far? How the truth of the facts is, long press likes to take you to understand the "Water Moon Cave Heaven", you don't know the behind-the-scenes story. The original script is the most important thing. In the early years, when it came to filming Xian Xia dramas, it must be indispensable to Tang Dynasty films and televisions. When it comes to martial arts dramas, Zhou Yi Film and Television is the first to bear the brunt. As two major film and television companies, they have also brought us many classic works in the competition. In 2003, Zhou Yi Film and Television used the original team of "Xiao Shiyilang" to gather Cai Shaofen and Chen Farong, two major Hong Kong sisters, with Yu Bo, Yang Junyi and Zhang Jin, three newcomers, to form a starring lineup and shoot the original script "Water Moon Cave Heaven".
In 2004, "Water Moon Cave Heaven" was broadcast, in that era of lack of entertainment industry, as a fantasy drama, a novel plot, and a magical setting. As soon as "Water Moon Cave Heaven" was broadcast, the ratings rose steadily, becoming a rare hit in fantasy martial arts dramas. The whole drama is not doped with any moisture, and there is no brainless plot. In addition to the silly childlike heart, the other actors have all online IQs and have very distinct personalities. If I have to say that this layout is insufficient, it is that the shape is a bit non-mainstream now. Such an excellent drama, of course, behind the efforts of the crew and the acting skills of the actors, this drama at that time shooting can be described as a tribulation. "Water Moon Cave Heaven" was a big fire as soon as it was broadcast that year, and the core reason was that its original script directly pushed the domestic fantasy martial arts style to the peak. In today's entertainment circle, which exposes plagiarism from time to time, the desire for originality is far greater than that of more than a decade ago. But in fact, originality was only the most basic thing. Zhou Yi's script creation team often polishes the script of a play for three or four years. Even if the screenwriter is locked up in the crew, good food and drink are provided, they must be allowed to write a good script before they can be released. Indeed, to make a good work, in addition to sufficient funds and the acting skills of the actors, a wonderful script is the most basic but important. And the script was finally completed, and the shooting time went wrong again.
The cast members are all martial arts athletes. 2003 was a year of SARS, but the crew of "Water Moon Cave Day" was scheduled to shoot in this year. The main scenes should be filmed in the Suzhou garden, while the scenes of the ancient neighborhoods should be filmed in Wuxi Shuihu City, and the scenes in Wuxi should be filmed during the day and rushed back to Suzhou at night. In order to make the Water Moon Cave Heaven like the Peach Blossom Origin, it was also fixed in a certain mountain in Shaoxing. There are not even people in the filming place, let alone the road to open to traffic. Each person took more than twenty pounds of luggage and carried it to the scenery of the Water Moon Cave without any means of transportation. And whether it's a star or not, everyone has to carry it, and it takes nearly two hours to go back and forth. Due to the extraordinary period, the crew is very large. According to the anti-non-regulations of China Television Media, the crew must wear a work card from the director down to the group performance, even in this case, the crew still shot a wonderful work, even the martial arts action, special effects screens are wonderful. The script model of "Immortal Sword" of that year still comes from the game. Although "Immortal Sword" is also very good, it does not prevent the two works from being compared together. The whole drama is full of real martial arts action scenes, and the actors of the crew are also martial arts directors.
In addition to the identity of an actor, Yang Junyi, who plays a child war, also has an identity as a martial arts athlete. He has represented the Jiangsu team in national martial arts competitions. After retiring from the army in 1998, he signed a contract with a film and television company and began an acting career. Zhang Jin, who plays Tong Xin, is also a martial arts athlete and one of the members of Yuan Heping's "Yuan Family Class". "Yuan JiaBan" specializes in martial arts guidance and stand-in work, and it is needless to say that the martial arts skills are not to be mentioned. Yu Bo's identity as Tong Bo is even more awe-inspiring, before he entered the entertainment circle, he was responsible for the security work of the presidential building in China's diaoyutai. This kind of bodyguard is to carry out actual combat, and the skills of killing are all practiced, and martial arts and fighting defense are not a problem. It is precisely such an actor with a foundation that has achieved one wonderful fight scene after another. The supporting role Yin Tianqiu needless to say, we saw the big Shi Xiaolong from childhood, and began to learn martial arts when we were young. The main villain Yin Zhongxu Shaoqiang has been an old drama bone in martial arts films for decades. It is precisely because of this group of starring actors whose acting skills are explosive and good at playing, that the whole drama seems real and refreshing. However, the most unexpected thing about the whole drama is probably that the third brother who plays the fool has married the eldest sister-in-law Doudou.
Zhang Jinsan chased Cai Shaofen and eventually became a couple. 2003 was the year of the filming of "Water Moon Cave Heaven", and it was also the year when Zhang Jin met Cai Shaofen, at that time Zhang Jin had just moved from behind the scenes to the front of the stage as an actor, and Cai Shaofen was already a famous actor. Later, in an interview, Zhang Jin said that Cai Shaofen had told him that he was the least likely to be together among all the boys Cai Shaofen knew. Soon after, Zhang Jin confessed to Cai Shaofen, but Cai Shaofen refused. After experiencing Liu Luanxiong and Wu Qilong, Cai Shaofen is very insecure in her feelings, she is afraid that her growth experience will become a burden on her feelings, and she is also afraid that Zhang Jin is not the right person, so she does not dare to try new feelings easily. However, Zhang Jin did not flinch, but repeatedly expressed his love to Cai Shaofen. In the end, Cai Shaofen was touched by Zhang Jin's sincerity, although there were many gossip after they were together, but it did not affect the feelings between them in the slightest. However, why does no one dare to remake such a wonderful drama, after all, Jin Yong and Gu Long's novels have been remade for nearly twenty editions, or no one dares to move this drama. In fact, it's not that they don't want to remake, it's that they don't have that ability. Nowadays, where to find actors with good acting skills and wonderful plays, even if there are, they may not be able to get together.
Today's actors are paid high salaries and low acting skills, not to mention playing. It's good not to use all stand-ins. However, the most important thing is that the original copyright of Zhou Yi Film and Television has gone out of business, and it is no longer possible without a copyright remake. That year, after "Water Moon Cave Heaven", Zhou Yi also continuously produced dramas such as "Li Wei Ciguan" and "Great Inner Low Hand", but the response was average, and after the "Peacock Plume of Seven Weapons" starring Xiaolong Mu Tingting in 2011, Zhou Yi directly went out of business. As a former screen giant, it is a pity that the bankruptcy is also a pity, about the reasons for the collapse, some people say that Zhou Yi's boss divorced and took away various resources, and some people said that Zhou Yi was too high, disdainful of the publicity results led to a fiscal deficit, had to declare bankruptcy. Whatever the reason, it's a pity that such a conscientious film and television company went out of business, but we still miss the era when actors acted seriously, directors seriously cast, and screenwriters seriously told stories.
