The continuous success of "Si Teng" and "Shanhe Ling" seems to once again confirm the famous saying "the poorer the crew, the more classics they can produce." On the other hand, those large-scale production dramas that cost huge sums of money and hundreds of millions in production costs are ambitious but have not exploded. Where is the money spent on these shows?
"The Order of Mountains and Rivers" fired the first shot of this year's reform, allowing the audience to get to know the actors themselves from the plot. However, such a good play made the people who were eating melons take off their pants. Some viewers discovered that the group performances in "The Order of Mountains and Rivers" were all pasted and copied. The pasting and copying of different scenes in the same scene is really not enough for people to put together, and even mirror reversal is used.
Some viewers complained, and finally understood why the producer said that people could not be arrested during filming. Turns out this is another price!
Various props in the play were also taken out, from plastic to fake roast chicken to group pants, there was a big hole, and Nuan Ke served as Zhou Zishu’s feast, which was basically vegetarian. . In order to film the drama in the rain, the crew had no money to make artificial rain, so they could only watch the weather forecast and wait for it to rain. The same cave is used repeatedly, which really makes people laugh and cry. But even though the crew was so poor, they still tried their best to restore the original work, provide the audience with real filming and broadcasting, and did their best within the limited funds.
"Si Teng" is also a bad one. Before the broadcast, someone broke the news that the show was so bad that the assistant was hired as a passerby to perform as a group for reporters visiting the class. After the show aired, some fans took out the vlogs of reporters who visited the class. The initial rumors were all true. In order to save money, the director himself played Platinum in the play. The director's children and wife all joined the troupe, and even Wen's assistant was not spared.
However, I have to say that this show is well-made and its fascinating location is really amazing. The actors' acting skills are also very good, and the most important thing is that the rhythm of the plot is well grasped. After the broadcast, the audience became tap water, and Amway started the show.
Whenever the poor crew is mentioned, people will always think of the crew that filmed "Journey to the West" in 1986. The crew was really bad at that time. There was only one shot per crew and not enough actors, so one actor played multiple roles. Because there was only one shot, the entire drama took many years to shoot, but this version of "Journey to the West" has become an eternal classic.
To this day, they are still classic series such as "Wulin Gaiden", "Bright Sword" and "Prince Concubine's Promotion", but the filming was very poor.
On the other hand, those big productions have spent huge sums of money but cannot find a good reputation. For example, the just-finished film "You Fei" and "Fu" cost hundreds of millions, and the main actors are all big names. During the promotion period, the aura of the actors was greater than the drama itself, but to be honest, "You Fei" spent a lot of money, and it was not as good as "The Order of Mountains and Rivers" in terms of special effects and martial arts.
Although "Ode to Shang Yang" seems excellent, it ends up being a stinking long title. The content of the play cannot be acted out, and the flower is just an ugly vase.
Those poor crews, although they have limited funds, basically don’t need to spend a lot of money on actors’ salaries. They spend more money on scripts and don't make a name for themselves. During the promotion period, it can be clearly felt that characters and dramas are spread more widely than actors. Good dramas always need to pass the quality test if they want to be popular.
These days, domestic dramas are becoming poorer, better and more classic. After all, most of the poor crew love to generate electricity, and they are determined to work hard to produce excellent works. And those drama series that claim to be huge investments actually spend the money on premium payments and overwhelming publicity. Anyway, if you just follow the crowd and take photos casually due to being touted, you will naturally not be able to take decent photos.
Hope this trend can be corrected soon, otherwise the eyes of the audience will be affected!
