Chapter 406

You should know that when Li Xu left today, after he said that he would shoot the other three classics in the future, he could also come to me. Dai and Wang wanted to say something but stopped. After all, Wang Fulin reported that he would shoot "Dream of Red Mansions" as soon as he returned to China in 1979.

Unfortunately, Director Yang and the four masters and apprentices are afraid that they will break completely this time, after all, there will be no sequel.

Li Xu paid out the money and paid out US dollars. He also introduced various pre-production and post-production, and pointed out the shortcomings of the past, mainly to make "Journey to the West" better filmed.

Once there are no worries, Director Yang will definitely finish filming the entire "Journey to the West", and there will naturally be no sequels.

In another time and space, although the sequel makes up for a lot of regrets and uses better technology, most of its reputation is bad reviews.

As for the reason, it's very simple.First, the feelings cultivated in 1986 have not yet fully fermented; secondly, Hong Kong and Hollywood have successively conquered the cities, and everyone's taste has improved.

In this era, although technology is definitely not as good as ten years later, even if Li Xu mentioned it and gave enough money, it is different in terms of energy and spirit.

Take Zhang Chengen as an example. When he walked into the crew through the back door, his father wandered around the role he helped him get, and followed the crew to take care of him, help him get bath water, wash clothes, etc., which is spoiled.

But people can still practice opening their eyes with the strong light. Do you watch the igneous eyes on TV, but you feel a little myopic?

Compared to 30 years later, shaving a bald head means being dedicated, and I don’t know how tall it is.

Similarly, without Teacher Yang's persistence and thinking of a solution, the TV series might end in Red Boy. "Yun Gong Xunyin" can't be found anymore. Electronic music with great national characteristics will not appear at all.

So, instead of taking advantage of this spirit, I will finish filming in one go, but waiting for the sequel to be filmed in the future?

However, if the sequel is not filmed, Director Yang and the master and apprentice will never be able to reunite after the breakup.

As for the reason, it's a long way to say it.

Just like Mr. Zhang, who has been consuming the name of Sun Wukong for a lifetime, has become a little crazy when he gets old, and fires everywhere, saying that he is the real Sun Wukong. Why?

It's not just a matter of money.

Think about it, when someone makes a lot of money by using the reputation of "Journey to the West", he, a classic Monkey King, does not make even one-tenth of the money he earns, be comfortable?

What's more, the special period when the 1980s was just reopened.

As mentioned before, how short of money was the mainland government at this time. As long as it could earn foreign exchange, it would not care about the methods and means. So if the superiors had their own preferences, the subordinates would have the greatest consequences. Everyone began to look at the money.

There are many contradictions behind every classic TV series. People only see the bright side, the efforts of the actors, directors and crew members, but they cannot see the various conflicts hidden behind them.

If many things are not explained by the parties involved, the outside world can only guess based on gossip, and "Journey to the West" and "Dream of the Red Chamber" are no exception.

Who is the most outstanding character in "Journey to the West"?

Of course it's a monkey!

Then what?

Of course, there are four masters and apprentices!

Even if there are good and impressive characters, compared to the four masters and apprentices who are sniffing their faces in every episode, they can only be marginalized.

What's more, most of the characters on Journey to the West are fairies and monsters, and they can't act without makeup. If you put on makeup, who knows who you are?

There are so many guest roles in "Journey to the West" in another time and space that have not been recognized. In addition to the slightly lower resolution at the time, the reason why even the mother can't recognize her makeup.

In short, after "Journey to the West" became popular, the four masters and apprentices also became popular, and the group of behind-the-scenes workers were still unknown.

So, when the TV series caused a great response in Li Jiapo and invited the crew to perform, Yang Jie thought that there would definitely be many such performances in the future, so she asked the master and apprentice to rehearse with other actors in the crew. As a result, all the three apprentices asked for leave. After asking again, they found out that they asked for leave to perform for the purpose of performing.

Director Yang has a strong sense of collective honor and is also a person who can't stand the sand in his eyes. He has to criticize a few words. As a result, the four masters and apprentices were dissatisfied and immediately complained to the superiors.

The literary and artistic circles in this era have a good atmosphere of self-bearing literary responsibilities.

Li Guangxi can dare to be responsible for his actions on major occasions in order to sing works that he thinks are valuable when his leader is not optimistic about "Toast Song".

Yang Jie, who is very independent and persistent, can also be responsible for her persistent use of electronic music when her leader opposes and believes that Xu Jingqing's soundtrack is not suitable for TV series, and finally creates a classic of 86.

But this will also offend many people, especially the leaders. Therefore, Master Wang, who was dissatisfied, took the opportunity of complaining and disbanded the crew, leaving only the four masters and apprentices.

If it's just like that, that's fine.However, the four masters and apprentices also threatened other crew members that if they dared to go to Yang Jie's house, they would not take anyone to Lijiapo, which made her feel very disappointed.

So Teacher Yang finally said that he would not go to Lijiapo anymore and would not go with them no matter whether he went to heaven or hell in the future.

The farce lasted until 1994. The superiors asked Director Yang to start filming the sequel, and then the four masters and apprentices came to the door and knelt down and apologized in tears.

So, if there is no sequel as a buffer, Director Yang is afraid that he will really never interact with the master and apprentice in the future.

But what does this have to do with Li Xu?

If this is true, if this gossip is triggered, Mr. Zhang Chengen might not be so crazy in the future.

Besides, even if their relationship eases due to the sequel, it will be nothing in the end, otherwise Teacher Six would not have done such a stupid thing as selling movies in a mourning hall.

It is better to support Director Yang, so that she can better shoot the image of monkey and keep the heroic image of monkey more deeply in the hearts of the audience.

Funny to say, before the TV series "Journey to the West", the general public's perception of monkeys was actually very messy.

After all, there are many folk stories about monkeys, and there are several "Journey to the West" alone.

Also, as I said before, even the most popular version, the part of Lion Camel Ridge is full of blood.

Although the animation of "The Great Trouble" established the monkey's position as a rebellious hero, how many families could have televisions in the 1960s?

Even if you can watch it through the movie team, how many people will keep a colorful cartoon in mind.

But it was also the emergence of "The Great Trouble in Heaven" that laid the foundation for the popularity of monkeys. Therefore, when the TV series "Journey to the West" was broadcast, the image of monkey was completely deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, becoming a rebellious and unrestrained national idol, just like the Jade Emperor drilling under the table.

This is all the credit of director Yang Jie. If she hadn't insisted on filming a TV series "Journey to the West" suitable for all ages, the image of monkey would definitely not be that perfect.

As for some people saying decades later, Director Yang was too young to be in line with the original work.

Hehe, just the love story of "The Kingdom of Women", there are many films and TV shows that have passed the West over the past decades?

Not to mention this, the above quickly approved the preparations for the crew of "Journey to the West".After all, this is $5 million in foreign exchange.

And compared with the $100 million automobile production line in Shanghai, the $5 million is obviously easier to get.

Not to mention anything else, on the day of the approval, Li Xu wrote a check of 500,000 US dollars and handed it over to CCTV for preliminary preparations, and at the same time, he prepared to send Director Yang and her assistant to Hollywood to learn to cut pictures.

This is still the case when the contract is not signed, because he said, I believe you, which touched Dai, Wang and Yang.

So, the "Love in Thousands of Water and Mountains" he brought was quickly passed the review and confirmed that it would re-duplicate and sing the theme song in Mandarin.

However, the reason why these two projects are progressing so quickly is more because of the $10 billion bill of exchange.

In principle, we agreed, but we didn’t know when Mr. Li was going to take action?Another day later, the designer who invited Li Xu to Zhongnanhai again asked with a smile.

At the latest mid-year, Li Xu answered this way, I need to let people sneak in carefully, survey the terrain, and come up with a more detailed amount of treasure.Moreover, Mr. Deng also needs to select a team with excellent quality and style, right?

The designer laughed, but then asked: So, how can Mr. Li guarantee his promise?

Unfortunately, Mr. Deng.In order to keep confidential, fulfilling our promises can only be based on our credit.Li Xu spread his hands.

oh?The designer did not comment.

I believe in the reputation of the Chinese government, and I also hope that the Chinese government can believe in my reputation.Li Xu continued, looking very sincere.

Then, after a few minutes of pause, he showed a playful smile again: Moreover, I believe that we all have the ability to retaliate after the other party breached the contract.

The designer finally laughed again: I believe in Mr. Li's sincerity.

The so-called secret agreement is naturally not something that can be reported, and it is made in private.

The agreement made in private is naturally not as effective as the Convention, so whether it can be fully implemented depends on the strength comparison of the contracting parties.

Just like the trade war 30 years later, if China does not have nuclear weapons and is still weak and poor, do you think the United States will fight and talk, or will it directly and rudely declare the trade contract invalid?

In fact, it had been once more than 50 years ago. When Roosevelt introduced the Silver Act, the only thing Kong Xiangxi could do was to beg.

However, Li Xu's request for the words was a little too much.

If there is a written certificate, the Chinese government will throw it out at that time, even if it can settle it, it will be too busy.

But without written certificates, it will be very troublesome for the Chinese government to take revenge. It originally only takes six points of energy and resources, but it may cost seven or eight points.

However, he had to do this because the first step to building trust is always difficult, so it is better to just take it one step and prove his sincerity and friendship with the mainland in more extreme situations.

So Li Xu put the mainland's desire for $10 billion on the gambling table, even if he, a big capitalist, really defaults on the contract in the future, they can make at least 2 billion, right?

Fortunately, he won the bet.
