The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 84 The Beginning of the Charm of "The Condor Shooting"

Wang Wei has seen the enthusiasm of middle-aged die-hard martial arts fans.

Dunhuang's top executives gave the green light to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" all the way.

If he wanted funds, Wang Chuanqi said the funds would be available at any time; if he wanted people, Xu Daoxing said he would give them immediately.

Wang Wei is definitely not suitable for filming by himself. In fact, he doesn’t have enough time to finish filming an entire TV series.

Originally, he suggested that Lao Xu do it himself - Lao Xu can't bear the pressure of making a movie, but he can finally bear the pressure of filming a TV series.

But Lao Xu admitted that the pressure was even greater.

In his mind, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" should be made into a classic that will last forever, but his ability is not enough to support the birth of such a classic.

He backhandedly recommended the well-known TV series director Tang Yigong.

Wang Wei called him "good guy, how dare you think about it!"

If another person said this, Wang Wei might have believed it, but Tang Yigong...

The pace of the times is too fast, and you cannot stop it. You can only keep up, and you must try your best to keep up.

Do you deserve it?

Fortunately, Wang Wei didn't say anything.

He is already over sixty years old, but he is still energetic and has not stopped directing. Isn't it because of his deep love for martial arts?

According to Lao Xu, Tang Yigong's greatest wish was to devote his entire life to martial arts creation!

Then the question comes——

In the current time and space, martial arts culture has been popular for a long time. Over the years, talents have emerged in large numbers, and the "new martial arts" has long been formed.

The complete original novel is in his mind, and he has read it more than once; there is more than one version of the adapted TV series, whether classic or eye-catching; various book and drama reviews have supplemented his understanding of the novels and TV series.

penetrating……

Lao Xu just sent half of the script of "The Condor" to Tang Yigong through his connections. After just one night, this big fish took the bait——

Tang Yigong was startled and a little surprised: "You trust me so much?"

Tang Yigong lit up his cigarette, took a puff, and explained seriously: "Because I only watched the first half, I knew that "The Condor" is the culmination of decades of domestic martial arts culture and a peak. It's hard for me to believe that this is a masterpiece."

Written by a junior in his twenties."

Who is Tang Yigong?

Almost no one in the domestic film and television industry knows that he is the top TV drama director in China——

Because he soon discovered that he still underestimated the appeal of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to senior and hard-core martial arts fans.

Tang Yigong, who was so itchy that he couldn't bear it, came to his door the next day to "kill" him personally!

Tang Yigong, who was warmly welcomed into Dunhuang, didn't beep much. He first asked for the second half of the manuscript and read it eagerly.

He felt ashamed in his heart and said, "It's not me who is awesome, but Master Jin from another time and space."

Finally, Tang Yigong looked at Wang Wei, a junior, with admiration in his eyes: "I now believe you can create such a good script."

Wang Wei looked directly at him for the first time: "Because I see in your eyes your determination to make a classic!"

"After filming "The Condor", my martial arts dream has come true. I will definitely retire and go home. It's time to take a break!"

Such praise made Wang Wei's face heat up.

The so-called "new martial arts" means breaking away from the sect disputes and personal revenge of early martial arts works, and sublimating the theme to the level of country, nation and justice, making martial arts look cool and stylish.

A classic that has been handed down from generation to generation was born in his hands, and then he retired with great success——

In the eyes of Tang Yigong, he is a master who stands on the shoulders of his predecessors!

After just browsing it, he saw a deeper level: "...Many of the three views of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, as well as the backbone and sentiments of Chinese civilization, have been integrated into it. Without a certain cultural foundation and life experience, this is not possible.

It's possible."

Wang Wei could see the impact of changes in the background of the times on the popularity of martial arts. How could Tang Yigong, who had experienced almost the ups and downs of the entire martial arts era, not see it?

"But you are right, I must make it a classic." Tang Yigong's eyes were bright.

Wang Wei is not timid at all.

Such a flag will probably become a habit for this veteran.

Therefore, the martial arts world created by "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is not unique in this time and space, but it definitely greatly enhances the height of the new martial arts.

"Today's young people are really amazing! There is a saying that is indeed true. The times have reached a certain point, and talents of their own emerge frequently!"

——Every time before filming a new drama, I make up my mind to "retire after the filming of this drama". But every time after filming, I muster up my confidence again and think "I will retire when the next drama is finished"...

Therefore, he looked at Wang Wei with bright eyes and said: "I accepted this film "The Condor Shooting". I have only one request. I will be in charge of the entire filming and production process!"

Wang Wei felt that the old man's vision was vicious, and his evaluation was just right.

Wang Wei didn't blink: "No problem!"

Tang Yigong was stunned again, then laughed loudly, stretched out his hand and pointed at Wang Wei: "You cunning boy, you are trying to put a high hat on me!"

Such a big shot in the industry, condescending to the small TV drama production center just established in Dunhuang, answered the question of the soul——

Therefore, even though he is not a fanatical martial arts fan, his brainwaves are definitely on the same frequency as Tang Yigong, who has been obsessed with martial arts all his life. After just a few words, they understood each other, and as they chatted, the atmosphere became lively unknowingly.

stand up.

After just watching it for a while, my blood boiled with excitement. Then I couldn't help but pull Wang Wei and ask questions eagerly and discuss it.

These words have profound meaning. Wang Wei just laughed.

If I figured out "The snow is falling from the sky and the white deer is shot, and the laughing book hero leans on the green mandarin duck", would he be willing to retire and go home?

There is no need to bring out all of them, as long as the "Condor Shooting" trilogy is needed, Wang Wei suspects that Tang Yigong can postpone his retirement plan indefinitely.

Wang Wei smiled and poured him a cup of tea without saying anything.

He single-handedly directed countless classic martial arts dramas and supported half of the world of martial arts dramas!

There are also countless actors and actresses who have been praised by him. From the television industry to the film industry, he has trained at least double digits of successful directors.

He put out his cigarette and said with emotion: "In a blink of an eye, I have been filming martial arts dramas for more than thirty years. Some of the films I filmed over the years were good and some were not so good. Hey, by the end of my career as a director

I didn’t expect that I would have the opportunity to reach the top of martial arts dramas.”

Of course, Tang Yigong couldn't hear the junior's thoughts, but his originally excited face suddenly showed a touch of sadness: "As soon as "The Condor" came out, the martial arts reached its peak again, but what happens after the peak?"

Tang Yigong didn't know that some insidious junior was secretly trying to trap him, so he opened the script again, waved his hand and said, "That's it, you go ahead and go ahead, I want to read this script again!"

Wang Wei nodded and was about to get up.

Then he blinked: No, this seems to be my office. Where else can I go to work?
