Since 1983

"What is she calling?"

"I don't understand, Cantonese."

"The girl is pretty."

"Well, beautiful."

The crowd of onlookers were full of enthusiasm, but little interest, peeping at everything about the Hong Kong crew like a diorama, and were baffled by the content of the filming.

Xu Fei leaned in front, watching Zixia put three moles on Zhizunbao, watching Zhizunbao see a monkey face from the mirror, and then ran to the cave and shouted sesame to open the door...

"Crack!"

The benevolent Bodhi Patriarch shouted, "Change clothes, next group!"

The staff prepared at a very fast speed, glued on Zhou Xingxing's beard, and Zhu Yin got in the car to rest.

A group of people rushed into Pansi Cave, and Xu Fei followed. The space inside was very small, just a short section. At the entrance there is a large wooden square bath, which is where Chun Sanniang takes a bath.

Go out and go outside, there is a low slope not far away, and there is a wasteland underneath.

Zhizunbao, Erdangjia, the blind man and a bunch of extras were lying on the ground with the soles of their feet raised high, waiting to be checked by Chunsanniang.

"What mess?"

Zhao Jiping frowned, wiped his body and looked elsewhere.

Xu Fei asked Lin Junlong to stay and take pictures, and chased after Zhang Zien, passing by another shed along the way, and went in to have a look, huh!

There are intestine-like things hanging in all directions, and the lights are red and purple, which is a bit oozing.

"What was this filmed for?"

"Oh, there is a scene in which the spider spirit penetrates into the body of the Bull Demon King and cuts his intestines and lungs. The Bull Demon King is in a hurry, and the primordial spirit comes out of his body and enters his body, fighting with the spider spirit."

"..."

Zhao Jiping was dumbfounded, he didn't even bother to say anything, he paused for a few seconds before saying: "Old Zhang, don't put my name on it when you're doing post-production, I can't afford to embarrass anyone."

"You, oh..."

Zhang Zi'en couldn't say anything, and said, "This film was submitted by Hong Kong Color Star Company. There is no script and only an outline. When we watched it, it was unreasonable, but the factory agreed to cooperate after considering the commercial interests of Hong Kong films."

"Do you have a script now?" Xu Fei asked with a smile.

"While filming and writing, I kept adding content. Like that Tang Seng, he was our actor at first, but later he had more roles and felt that it was not suitable, so he found a Hong Kong native named Luo Jiaying.

To be honest, I don't like it either, I don't know what it means, cultural garbage! "

Zhang Zien was very regretful, saying: "The Hong Kong production team is so efficient, and one shot costs more than 60 million Hong Kong dollars. It's too wasteful to shoot this thing."

"This film is more than 60 million?"

Zhao Jiping was startled, and sighed: "With so much money, wouldn't it be good to make more "Farewell My Concubine"?"

"That's right, maybe you think differently."

The two sighed and sighed, which just represented the attitude of mainstream audiences today.

"A Chinese Journey to the West" originally only wanted to make one film, but as the content became more and more, it was made into two films. The screenwriter's name is Ji'an, which is Putao's pen name.

Color Star Company was jointly established by Zhou Xingxing and several others, and it was the first work of "A Chinese Journey to the West".

"Moonlight Box" was released in January 1995. Within two days, the total income in Hong Kong was more than 5 million, but then it took a sharp turn and ended with 25 million Hong Kong dollars.

"The Marriage of the Great Sage" sold 29 million copies.

In fact, it was quite a lot, but the cost was too high, which directly led to the disintegration of Color Star. Zhou Xingxing took out his shares and formed another Xinghui.

The mainland is even more aggressive. For example, it only sold more than 200,000 yuan in Beijing. But on the contrary, pirated discs are popular in the streets and alleys, especially in colleges and universities.

Xu Fei's experience may be the same as that of many people. He remembers that it was the Spring Festival of 1997.

The movie channel showed these two movies, and I liked them the first time I saw them.

Buy pirated discs when you are done, and watch them when you have nothing to do. At that time, I was in junior high school, and I took it to school during the New Year's Day party, and the students were very happy.

What does it mean?

"A Chinese Journey to the West" has nothing to do with today's main consumer groups who can afford to go to theaters. It is most suitable for young people.

Those who like excrement and fart can find fun in the burning crotch of Supreme Treasure; those who like "post-modern" literature and art will also feel a lot of melancholy for this sentence:

"He looks like a dog!"

...

"Dinner is ready! Dinner is ready!"

"take a break!"

At noon, four vans came to deliver meals. For a crew of hundreds of people, Xiying Film Studio invested more than a hundred people, queuing up to receive boxed lunches, and each looking for a place.

Of course, celebrities eat in the car, and the box lunch is different, which is roughly equivalent to "luxury finger cake with eight eggs".

Xu Fei was also eating his box lunch.

The production director of Xiying Studio, surnamed Ding, was surprised by his arrival. Teacher Xu only talks about travel, and it is indeed travel, just like "Legend of the New White Snake", if you have the opportunity, you have to see it for yourself.

"I heard that there are serious conflicts in the group?" Zhang Zi'en asked.

"Well, it's like working for a capitalist."

Director Ding joked, and said: "I have to prepare four meals a day, and each meal has four cars, so you know how intense the work is.

It doesn't matter how old you are, the main thing is the treatment. We pay ten yuan a day, and others pay one hundred. The staff in the factory were okay, but the martial arts team was hired from the outside, looking for work for me all day long.

But what can I do, the money paid by Hong Kong people..."

"Hey, just tell me."

Before Zhang Zi'en finished speaking, he heard the commotion outside, which was getting louder and louder.

"It's started again!"

Director Ding got out of the car with a constipated face wrinkled.

Xu Fei followed behind, eating melons with excitement, and saw a person surrounded by everyone, shouting constantly.

"Why are we dead again?"

"That's right, I haven't had a single line in filming for several days."

"Why are there fewer shots that were agreed upon?"

"Listen to me, listen to me..."

This person is the martial arts director Cheng Xiaodong, and he spoke tongue-biting Mandarin: "Everyone has a bit of professionalism, okay? Martial arts is for the movies, follow the director's arrangement..."

"What arrangement do you listen to? How do your people have lines?"

"Why don't your people die?"

"Why do your people play so much?"

Teacher Xu found a big millstone and squatted up, in the position of a farmer.

In addition to the issue of treatment, there are also contradictions in the distribution of roles. There are many martial arts dramas in Hong Kong, but these actors have few dramas, and they are always the ones who are beaten away.

Cheng Xiaodong couldn't understand. Seeing Director Ding coming over, he hurriedly said, "Hey, tell me, tell me."

Director Ding was very skilled, so he fooled him with a few words.

"I laughed, I laughed."

"They came to the mainland to film movies. The idea is that the scenery is good and the labor is cheap. It's strange that equal pay is equal. But where do these people get so angry?" Xu Fei asked.

"A martial arts school in Xi'an, alas, I would have invited you if I knew about it."

Kou Zhanwen's team went south and north, and besides his own play, he also took jobs everywhere, and was quite famous in China. To some extent, it can even represent first-class standards.

After the lunch break, Zhao Jiping and Zhang Zien went back to the city.

Instead, Xu Fei stayed and took Lin Junlong to pat this and that. Lin Junlong muttered in various ways, the boss is really traveling, so free.

At night, the two of them returned to the hotel.

Teacher Xu went to Lu Shuming to talk about the old days, Dalu played the Bull Demon King, and Li Jianren played Zhu Bajie after makeup.

The two chatted about the Three Kingdoms, and it basically ended, and it will start broadcasting in October. Now there are some trivial things left, and the heaviest and heaviest highlight:

Fire Chibi.

This scene was filmed after it started broadcasting. After a year of preparation, all the resources of each team were concentrated on Cai Xiaoqing, and the aerial camera was used to draw a panoramic picture, just like a war.

Because those tents, camps, food, ships and so on can only be burned once, and it is impossible to do it again.

...

The accommodation is ok.

Teacher Xu was soundly asleep, but at some point, she was awakened by a loud noise. Standing up in a daze, only listening to the bang bang bang in the corridor!

bang bang bang!

"Cheng Xiaodong, come out!"

"Fuck you, get out!"

It seemed that someone was banging on the door, followed by obstructive and persuasive sounds from various accents, mixed together at random, as if a pot had exploded.
