villain king

Chapter 142
The story of Baolian Lantern was born out of folklore.

There are librettos in Henan Opera, Peking Opera, Qin Opera, Huagu Opera and Yue Opera.

The depictions are all of the three saints who miss the mortals, fall in love with the mortal Liu Yanchang, marry each other, and give birth to a son Chenxiang.God Erlang was furious and pressed him under Mount Hua (one said Mangdang Mountain). Later Liu Chenxiang grew up and split the mountain to save his mother.

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

Both of these stories appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and no one copied the other.

If we really want to trace the source, both of them can be attributed to the story of Mulian saving his mother.

In the versions of various local operas, whether it is Peking opera, Yue opera, or even Errenzhuan repertoire, it focuses on the love story between Liu Yanchang and Sanshengmu and the reunion of mother and child. The caliber of masters and successors is not uniform.

But as a TV series, it must not be filmed like this.

Therefore, the screenwriter of this drama draws less from local dramas, and he pays more attention to the animated version directed by Chang Guangxi in 99.

After the cartoon was released, it won two awards, Golden Rooster and Huabiao.

The skill of Shangmei Factory is impeccable, and the fluency from painting to plot is top in the industry.

The theme songs "360 Five Days of Missing You", "Heaven and Earth Are in My Heart", and "Love is Just One Word" will not be mentioned.

What's even more commendable is that this edition incorporates elements of Journey to the West, making Monkey King Liu Chenxiang's master.Such a familiar face on the stage will undoubtedly increase the acceptance of the audience a lot.

Moreover, Sun Wukong originally carried the label of resistance in the hearts of Chinese people, which also coincides with Chen Xiang's behavior in the play.

This play also draws on this element and introduces the character of Zhu Bajie.

Their team liked Journey to the West very much, and there were also two characters, Bajie and Monkey King, in the later magic phones.

These two actors performed well. The actor who played Monkey King, Ding Jian, also served as a stand-in for the sixth teacher in the sequel of Journey to the West.

The breakthrough of this version of Lotus Lantern starring Cao Jun is the addition of Liu Chenxiang's love line in this play.

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

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

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

The main plot is that the eighth prince likes her, she likes Chenxiang, and Chenxiang likes Xiaoyu, a series of emotional entanglements like a human centipede.

Crude, but effective.

As both the admirer and the admired, the role of Ding Xiang is very brilliant.

This role is a carefree girl, and Wan Qian is also handy in playing it.

Ji Yun sat by the shed, quietly watching Wan Qian's performance.

"What was your last movie?"

Standing beside Ji Yun, Zhao Jian had nothing to say.

"Disciples, a Hong Kong play."

"Oh?" Zhao Jian asked in surprise, "You still connected to Xiangjiang?"

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

For Xiangjiang, he naturally has some feelings.

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

"Probably." Ji Yun didn't want to explain too much.

If a sentence is repeated three times, there is a suspicion of low word count.

"Do you have any plans for the future?"

Zhao Jian has played many roles, Fei Bin in "Swordsman", Zhao Tonghai in "The Sword of the Deep House", and the leopard in "Swallow Li San", the most outstanding one is the third part of "Huang Feihong" Zhao Tianba's excellent experience in martial arts made him one of the best action directors in China behind the scenes.

If he can assist in the filming of Xiuchun Dao 2, he will be much more reliable than that old boy Yu Min.

"The new "Journey to the West" project is about to be established, so let me spare some time."

As soon as this stubble was mentioned, his face bloomed like a chrysanthemum.

Directing Journey to the West!This was a remarkable achievement. Although Ji Yun dismissed the invitation, many people flocked to it.

As long as the four major masterpieces are photographed, regardless of word-of-mouth, it is certain that they will be popular.

"It will take a few more years. In the past two years, military-themed dramas have just become popular, and this wave of market must be won."

"That's right." Zhao Jian nodded.

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

"Have you read the Xiuchun knife before?"

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

Although many people have never heard of Zhao Jian's reputation, but in the circle, his name is extremely resounding.

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

In the Hong Kong version of Tianlong, all the characters' zoom moves are equipped with special effects.

For example, Gang Leader Qiao's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and Duan Yu's Six Pulse Laser.

But in the mainland version of Tianlong, he transformed the tangible special effects into invisible for the first time, so that the scenes of the two fighting each other increased.

The action design of Xiu Chundao coincides with him.It is also between gorgeous and real, especially the decisive battle in the last scene.

There is no light work of high and low, and there is no big move that shines all over the body, and it is chic and neat.

He praised this kind of action scene from the bottom of his heart.

"Xiu Chun Dao's second part is about to start filming, could you please direct some action shots?"

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

They didn't give him a letter of when to turn it on, but since he agreed, he has to keep his body like a jade, right?

Although Xiuchundao has a great reputation and won a luxurious box office figure of 1.2 million when it was released, it is still a bit short of weight compared with Journey to the West.

If the other end is also turned on while embroidering the Spring Knife, he has missed a great opportunity.

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

"Ah?" Zhao Jian was taken aback, a little dazed.

The industry generally positions Zhao Jian as an action director.

This title is quite embarrassing. This title originated in China, and gradually became popular in Hollywood.

But it is not recognized by the West. Top action directors like Baye and Yuan Kui who design action scenes abroad can only be given the name 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 direct literary dramas are a minority, and there are more amateur players like Zhao Jian, who can basically only be detained as an action designer.

Ji Yun wants to mention him in the opening title, that's the position of chief director!
"Our filming of this movie is fast, and it is estimated that it will be finished in two or three months. It will not delay your acceptance of the Journey to the West notebook." Ji Yun chuckled and continued to bewitch.

Zhao Jian thought for a while, "Send me the notebook."

Become!

Ji Yun was overjoyed, "Okay, I'll ask my agent to send it to you later."

Putting him in the director's position, he and Ning Hao got along with each other, and there was no objection there.

It's not that he is lenient, but that it really doesn't affect him.

This is a name, but it is a little troublesome when judging the best director award.

But if he is going to win the award, he must be on stage to accept the award. After all, even if a film advertises many action elements, it is the literary drama that really takes up the space.

Besides, this film is good, but it is still far away from the best director.
