The scene where Huang Yaoshi beat Zhou Botong took two days to film.
A lot of people from the TV station were still looking forward to some exciting scenes in the future, such as flying over walls and flying over walls in martial arts, but they found that what Wang Xuan shot was no different from the martial arts movies shot by others. They are all movements performed by Diaowei Ya, normal routines, and the speed is not particularly fast.
Of course, the two actors have good action skills. Each move is precise and precise, and all the actions designed by the action director are completed. It's just... After watching this episode, many TV stations were disappointed, and they also labeled "The Condor" filmed by Wang Xuan as mediocre.
Maybe Wang Xuan is good at filming school dramas and military films, but filming this kind of martial arts film is a lot less interesting.
Many TV station people have lost the desire to continue watching, and have no plans to get the right to premiere "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". As for this film shot by Wang Xuan, it would be great if the ratings don’t hit the market. What if you still want 3 million per episode?
Many TV stations found excuses and went home without contacting Tianhai. They said nothing about the premiere rights of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". They don't want to be taken advantage of, and whoever wants to be taken advantage of will do so.
In fact, this is what Wang Xuan said. Before it is edited into a finished product, you can’t tell anything by watching it on the spot.
Especially the fighting scenes.
Nowadays, many TV people feel that the fight scenes in which Huang Yaoshi beats Zhou Botong are just some normal routines. You come and go, the speed is not fast, just slightly faster than normal people, a bit unremarkable?
But in fact, unless you have real kung fu skills, such as those of Li Ze and Lei Yan, who can really fight, martial arts scenes performed by ordinary action actors are shot like this. You are not required to fight how fast, but only that your movements are in place. , as long as you can complete the movements designed by the martial arts instructor.
As for speed, it doesn't matter, because the film used for normal video shooting is 24 frames per second. As long as your movements are in place, post-processing can speed up the number of frames played per second, so that the movements look fast and smooth, and speed and beauty coexist.
Of course, if the actors have real skills, the pictures they shoot will definitely be much better. A real shot will produce an effect, and an effect that requires post-processing technology will definitely have a different texture.
This is also the reason why when Wang Xuan was filming "Shaolin Temple", all the leading actors chose actors with real kung fu.
But filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is different from filming "Shaolin Temple". "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has too many characters, and it is simply unrealistic to cast all actors with real kung fu.
To put it simply, actors with real kung fu are not always suitable for that role, and actors who match the character's temperament may not necessarily have real kung fu. Therefore, for the casting of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Wang Xuan's minimum requirement was that the literary and opera actors had a passing command of lines and the martial arts actors had certain movement skills.
Anyway, technology has advanced now. As long as the action of the martial arts scene is in place and post-processing, the effect will be similar. These people think that the pictures shot by Wang Xuan are ordinary and just for laymen.
In fact, in Wang Xuan's eyes, the scene where Huang Yaoshi beat Zhou Botong was very stunning. During the crew's vacation, the two actors worked hard in private and asked Lei Yan for advice more than once.
This is also the temperament of most veteran actors.
They are serious about acting.
Seeing that the people from the TV station were all making excuses to leave, Wang Xuan could probably guess what they were thinking, but he didn't care. Continue filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
What surprised Wang Xuan was that people from Yangcheng Satellite TV and Ludong Satellite TV actually stayed at the scene to observe.
Next, Wang Xuan filmed a clip of Zhou Botong teaching Guo Jing the Nine Yin Sutra.
In the original work, Zhou Botong was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake. He was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake while practicing the left-right fighting technique. Then Guo Jing risked his life to save Zhou Botong and drugged Zhou Botong with his mouth. After Zhou Botong woke up, he saw that the human skin paper used by Wang Xuan to light the fire actually recorded the second chapter of the "Nine Yin Manual". And he has the second part of the "Nine Yin Manual" in his hand.
After the poison was detoxified, Zhou Botong taught Guo Jing the "Nine Yin Manual" by dictation.
However, in order to make the story stronger, Wang Xuan adapted the plot from the 1983 version of "The Condor", including the plot of Huang Yaoshi beating Zhou Botong, which was also adapted.
In the original work, Zhou Botong only said that he could not defeat Huang Yaoshi every time. The adapted version of "The Condor Shooting" directly shows Dongxie beating Zhou Botong. Later, because he was tired of Zhou Botong's entanglement, he played the blue sea tide music to drive him. The poisonous tongue bit Zhou Botong, and then there was the plot of Guo Jing taking drugs and detoxifying Zhou Botong. Zhou Botong accidentally discovered that Guo Jing actually held the second volume of the "Nine Yin Manual" in his hand, so he taught Guo Jing the "Nine Yin Manual" by salivating.
The filming of this plot was much more interesting than the scene of Huang Yaoshi beating Zhou Botong.
However, although this clip shot by Wang Xuan made reference to the 1983 version of "The Condor", it was not a complete copy of the 1983 version of "The Condor". In the 1983 version of "The Condor", Zhou Botong directly took out a sign with the words " The martial arts secret book named "Nine Yin Manual" was given to Guo Jing and asked to recite it.
But Guo Jing had seen Mei Chaofeng practice the "Nine Yin Manual". In Guo Jing's eyes, the "Nine Yin Manual" was an evil skill. If Zhou Botong directly took out the book with the "Nine Yin Manual" written on it, Guo Jing, how could Guo Jing be willing to recite it?
Therefore, the plot filmed by Wang Xuan will be more respectful of the original work. Roughly speaking, after Zhou Botong confirmed that the second volume of the "Nine Yin Manual" recorded on the human skin paper Guo Jing took out was authentic, he remembered that Guo Jing's tone was quite disgusting with the "Nine Yin Manual" and said that it was a sinister and evil martial arts. But the "Nine Yin Manual" is sought after by so many people, how could it be an evil work? It's just that the Black Wind Shuangsha only read the second volume of scriptures and did not know the basic methods of nourishing qi and returning to the original state contained in the first volume, so he practiced the best martial arts in a wrong way.
However, he was afraid of being contradicted by Guo Jing, so he deceived and orally told Guo Jing the formula for the first scroll of the Nine Yin Manual over and over again, so that he could memorize it.
After Guo Jing memorized the previous book, Zhou Botong followed the relevant boxing and sword skills written on the human skin and explained them to Guo Jing step by step.
It's just that Zhou Botong himself didn't remember the formula for the second volume of the Nine Yin Manual. Many times he had to go aside, read the human skin paper, memorize it, and then pass it on to Guo Jing.
This teaching of martial arts is very different from the martial arts teachings in the past and present all over the world. It can be called a great spectacle of martial arts teaching in the past and present. The person who teaches the Kung Fu actually doesn't know how to do it at all. He only talked about it verbally and never demonstrated it. After Guo Jing learned a few martial arts moves from the classics, he used Quanzhen sect's martial arts to test his skills. It turned out that the martial arts skills from the classics were infinitely useful.
After a few days like this, when he saw that the wonderful method was effective, the martial arts contained in the "Nine Yin Manual" gradually transferred to Guo Jing, but he was completely kept in the dark and did not realize it at all. He couldn't help but feel great joy in his heart, even in his sleep. And often laugh out loud.
This plot is very interesting. Even if they haven’t seen the finished product, people from Yangcheng Satellite TV and Ludong Satellite TV found it very interesting and enjoyed watching it.
After reading this paragraph, people from Ludong Satellite TV and Yangcheng Satellite TV knew better and bid farewell to Wang Xuan one after another.
Yangcheng Satellite TV is personally led by He Susu, the person in charge of the TV series this time.
Coincidentally, the person leading the team from Ludong TV this time is also the person in charge of the TV series, Lin Jun.
After bidding farewell, people from Yangcheng Satellite TV and Ludong Satellite TV walked on the road together, with He Susu and Lin Jun walking in front.
"What do you think of "The Condor Shooting" shot by Wang Xuan, Mr. He?" Lin Jun asked.
"It's just average. It feels a lot less interesting than the previous film and television dramas produced by Wang Xuan." He Susu said.
"I feel the same way. I come here in good spirits and return in disgrace." Lin Jun said.
"My evaluation is that it is not worth 1.5 million per episode." He Susu added.
"Are you still asking for 1.5 million? In my eyes, even 1 million per episode is not worth it." Lin Jun continued.
"This is also true. Mr. Lin is planning to give up the right to premiere "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?" He Susu tried.
"This means that Mr. He hasn't given up the right to premiere "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" yet?" Lin Jun asked back.
"How is it possible? In my eyes, a TV series that is not even worth 1.5 million per episode, Tianhai actually offers 3 million per episode. Doesn't this treat us as being taken advantage of? We at Yangcheng Satellite TV do not want to be taken advantage of." He Susu was very happy. Said with certainty.
"No, this is obviously treating us like fat sheep and slaughtering them." Lin Jun also said.
"I thought "The Condor" would be a good TV series, but now...forget it, forget about it, I'll just treat it as a trip. It's time to go back to work." He Susu said.
"Well, I have to go back to do business. Ludong is in the north and Yangcheng is in the south. Mr. He, let's just say goodbye?"
"goodbye!"
After saying goodbye, the two began to lead the team to go their separate ways.
After losing sight of the other party, He Susu immediately said to his subordinates: "Quickly, book some high-speed rail tickets to Shanghai."
"Ah? Mr. He, aren't you going back to Yangcheng? Why are we going to the Magic City?" The subordinate was a little confused.
"Of course I went to Tianhai to buy the premiere rights of "The Condor". What I just told Jun Lin was just to paralyze her. Do you really believe it?" He Susu said.
The subordinate almost vomited blood when he heard this.
The conversation He Susu had just had with Lin Jun was full of disparagement of "The Condor", as if "The Condor" filmed by Wang Xuan was not worth mentioning. What he said was true, and several of his subordinates truly believed it. However, He Susu now actually said that it was just a remark to paralyze Mr. Lin...
Oh my god!
No wonder He Susu is the leader and they are just subordinates. They will definitely not be able to play this kind of mission: Impossible.
"The problem is that "The Condor Shooting" shot by Teacher Wang Xuan this time seems to be average." A subordinate raised objections.
"No, I just graduated from the Film and Television Academy. Before the editing of film and television dramas, you can only watch the shooting. In fact, you can't tell the reason. Anyway, I have great confidence in Teacher Wang Xuan. Stop talking and book the high-speed rail tickets to go to the magic place. All.
Forget it, let's book the flight. I feel like what I just said cannot paralyze Mr. Lin. They are all old foxes, who can paralyze whom? After watching the clip of Huang Yaoshi beating up Zhou Botong, everyone from other TV stations left, but Mr. Lin did not leave. It is obvious that Mr. Lin, like me, has confidence in Wang Xuan. "He Susu said.
This was indeed the case, because soon, He Susu and Lin Jun met at Zhoushan Airport.
This scene left people at Ludong Satellite TV and Yangcheng Satellite TV speechless.
Sure enough, ginger is still spicy!
It is not unreasonable for He Susu and Lin Jun to become the heads of the television drama department, while they are just subordinates.
"Hey, Mr. He, are you planning to fly back to the Magic City? Yes, Yangcheng TV's funds are quite sufficient." Lin Jun was the first to say hello.
"Both each other, Ludong TV is not bad either."
The two of them tested each other for a few more words, and soon it was time to check in and board the plane from Zhoushan to Shanghai.
"Mr. Lin, there is no direct flight from Zhoushan to Yangcheng. We have to go to Magic City first, and then transfer from Magic City to Yangcheng. Now it's time to check in and board the plane. Let's go first. Do we say goodbye here?" He Susu said.
Lin Jun smiled calmly when he heard this, thinking that he was cheating.
There is indeed no direct flight from Zhoushan to Yangcheng, but there is one in Hangzhou. If you really want to visit Yangcheng, why go to Hangzhou first and then transfer to Yangcheng from Hangzhou? Why go to the Magic City first and then return to Hangzhou?
Obviously, He Susu, like her, went for the premiere rights of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". He immediately said: "No. Just go together. Coincidentally, there is no direct flight from Zhoushan to Ludong. We have to go to Shanghai first and then transfer to Ludong."
"Then let's go together." He Susu knew what he was saying.
Sure enough, after the plane arrived in the magic city, the two parted ways, but soon met again in Tianhai.
"Tsk tsk, didn't Mr. He go back to Yangcheng? Why did he come to Tianhai?" Lin Jun said mockingly.
"To each other, didn't Mr. Lin also say that he was going back to Ludong? Didn't he also come to Tianhai?" He Susu also teased.
"It seems that Mr. He is also very confident in Teacher Wang Xuan's "Legend of the Condor Heroes". But I am a little curious, where does Mr. He's confidence come from? People from other TV stations have lost interest." Lin Jundao.
"Nothing else, just because of the word Wang Xuan! What about you?"
"Absolutely. Just because the director and screenwriter of this TV series are both Mr. Wang Xuan, I have full confidence in this TV series. Wang Xuan has never disappointed anyone."
"How about Mr. Lin hand over "Legend of the Condor Heroes" to our Yangcheng Satellite TV? Yes, next time Wang Xuan appears in another TV series, if Ludong Satellite TV is present, we Yangcheng Satellite TV will withdraw directly."
"We can't let it go. Our Ludong Satellite TV relies on TV series to make a living. Now there is a TV series in front of us. How can we miss it? Who knows when the next time will be?
Besides, next time you Yangcheng TV will withdraw directly, it does not mean that other TV stations will also withdraw directly. It is rare that they have all withdrawn this time, and there will be less competition, right? What I’m a little curious about is, wasn’t Yangcheng TV very Buddhist in the past? Why are you so active recently? Lin Jun asked.
"It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. After "Welcome to the Window" gave Taili some sweetness, Taili was no longer willing to be Buddhist. Anyway, for the premiere rights of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", We, Yangcheng TV, are determined to win." He Susu said.
"So are we."
"Then let me see the real chapter!" He Susu said.
Lin Jun nodded, that was exactly what she meant.
The two came into contact with Li Tao again. Li Tao also had a headache when he saw that both of them were interested in the premiere rights of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". After some consideration, in order not to harm the relationship, Li Tao asked the two of them to bid once on the note. Whoever bids the higher price will get the right to premiere.
He Susu and Lin Jun had no objections to this.
When bidding, Lin Jun felt that he was ruthless enough. Li Tao's previous price was 3 million per episode, and Ludong TV had already bid 2.8 million, but it turns out that Yangcheng TV was even more ruthless! !
