At present, most film and television dramas are high-cost productions, and the investment funds often reach tens of millions or even more than 100 million.
It seems that if you don't have enough money, you can't produce high-quality film and television dramas.
Is this really the case?
Most Xianxia dramas claim to have special effects that cost a lot of money to create.
In the ordinary plot, it only played an ordinary role.
Even at some point it didn't work.
Hollywood has also shown some signs that movies are not very popular this year, not only domestic.
The box office revenue of Aquaman 2 has been halved compared to the first one, which has just been released.
It is clear that the value created by his investment far exceeds this achievement.
In the pitch, the words big production and high investment sound very appealing.
You can't spend so much and then make a bad piece for the audience to enjoy.
When viewers turn on the TV, they have this expectation in mind, only to see some garbage programs that are not nutritious.
However, there are small-budget filmmakers who have managed to produce amazing work without relying on big productions.
The dramas I want to talk about today can be said to be a model of the crew's excellence.
The large-scale mythological drama "Journey to the West", who can say that he has never seen it?
When filming this drama, the conditions were quite difficult.
Due to the lack of funds** for the crew, they had to wait for enough funds to be raised before filming could begin.
It took several years to complete the shooting.
When filming Journey to the West, only one camera was available.
Filming the next scene had to wait for the previous scene to be finished, resulting in a slow progress.
The actors could only wait for filming on the sidelines, helpless, because the crew was underfunded.
The cameras are very ordinary, and the funds provided by CCTV are not abundant.
The second challenge for director Sister Yang and her crew was finding the right location.
The environment was harsh, and there were no studios and post-editing software.
The crew members personally traveled to most of China to find mountain lakes for filming.
If you don't have enough money, you won't be able to use convenient means of transportation such as planes and trains.
The crew and cast are thinking about saving money and choosing which mode of transportation.
It is often necessary to go through bumpy roads to reach the destination.
As hard as it is, at least now there is a good framing.
crossed half of China's distance, and the crew lineup gradually grew.
In order to save money, we had to reduce the cost of meals evenly.
Many young actors are hungry in the crew because of this.
Actresses need to be treated at their best, although food and travel expenses can be waived.
When we were young, when we watched monkeys, we read "Journey to the West".
It wasn't until I was growing up that I realized that there were so many beautiful women in this show.
Fairies, fairies, princesses, queens, each type shows a beautiful demeanor.
Director Yang Jie has always adhered to this belief.
An actor must not be careless and must be taken as seriously as the character.
If the funds are insufficient, you will have to apply to CCTV for approval.
What about the other roles, after all, the actress has been decided.
I had to rely on the actors to help.
If you look closely, you will find that Tang Seng has multiple responsibilities in one body.
He is the Dragon King, and she serves as an important minister of the court, even if it is an immortal.
Mr. Xiang Han is one of the important members of the four-member group, and he plays an important role in the crew.
He plays a wide variety of roles, including the Black Bear Spirit, the Doorman, the Heavenly Soldier, and the Heavenly General.
He is the center of attention, and you only have to turn on the TV to see that he appears in many episodes.
Good movies and TV series are works of art.
Why did the 1986 version of "Journey to the West" become a classic for future generations?
It is precisely because of the director's ingenuity and the persistence of the whole crew that this work is so successful.
The 86 version of "Journey to the West" is a model of refuting the inability of poor crews to succeed.
When I was young** "Wulin Gaiden", there was always a question in my heart.
There are not many rooms in the inn, but they are always full of people.
Even the most honorable thieves sleep in the lobby, not even a private bedroom.
As an adult, the exact number of rooms in the Tongfu Inn remains an unsolved mystery.
More than ten years have passed in a flash, and the martial arts legend is still thriving.
Every year, there are some topics that are highly discussed, and they have become a drama that many people talk about.
The classicism of this show is obvious.
However, the show was not well received by the market when it premiered.
When the actors get home, they turn on the TV to watch "Wulin Gaiden" for a while, because the ratings of the show are low.
In order to increase viewership ratings.
Actors are worried when filming, and they are particularly concerned about the response after the broadcast.
It's not easy for money.
Compared with the current sky-high remuneration of 2.08 million per day for a certain actor.
The salaries of the leading actors of "Wulin Gaiden" are not too high, probably only a few thousand yuan per episode.
At that time, the crew was really short of funds.
The martial arts biography tells a story set in the rivers and lakes.
There is not enough money to hire any martial arts instructors.
It is only by relying on a speech that the mouth is full of words that a big scene can be created.
At this time, it is time for Lao Bai to appear on the stage, and begin to narrate vividly.
I still remember watching that episode when I was a child, when the people of the six major factions gathered together, and the money shopkeeper was beaten.
It is not a real scene, but a few sentences that paint the whole picture.
Sha Yi's line skills are obviously unfathomable.
I didn't get martial arts instruction, and the props were not well prepared.
As the daughter of the leader of the six doors, Xiao Guo doesn't even have a few pieces of jewelry.
Jewelry is one of Tong Xiangyu's collections, but her clothes are relatively rare, even including wedding dresses, the total number is only twenty.
The show has a total of 81 episodes, spanning spring, summer, autumn and winter, and it seems to be quite long.
In order to reduce the cost of meals for the leading actors, the producers have made some savings in food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Each character in "Wulin Gaiden" is eating and performing while filming, and they all really enjoy the food.
Doesn't this look fragrant?
At the dinner table, Xiao Guo and Xiucai quarreled endlessly, and even picked up dishes from each other.
Because the food was scattered on the ground, the shopkeeper Tong became angry and blamed them for wasting food.
It does look like it is now to be reprimanded.
On the table, there are real things, delicious dishes that have just been prepared by the chef.
Xiaobei's "every grain is hard" seems even more real and real at this moment.
The Wulin Gaiden crew may be financially constrained, but it must not be said that they work perfunctory.
There are eighty-one episodes in this series, and each episode is completely new, with no extraneous content added.
Still keep up with current events and don't miss a single trending topic.
The cast of the whole play is very luxurious, and no traffic stars are selected, but all are played by old drama bones.
At the beginning of filming, the investor decided to withdraw for various reasons.
In order to produce this drama, the producer even used his own property as collateral.
The crew of "In the Name of the People" did not expect to be quite poor.
This play is mainly carried by the old actors.
This is a political drama, on the one hand, for this reason.
Insufficient acting skills may cause the performance of traffic stars to be affected.
As soon as the filming of this drama started, the funding chain was broken, and the deeper reason was that.
The crew's funds are limited, and even if they add up the salaries of several veteran actors, they can't compare to the salaries of a traffic star.
The old actors introduced some cameo roles, and their salaries were even more generous than imagined.
Gao Yalin was one of the actors who was invited to make a guest appearance.
He was moved, after reading the entire script.
Since the crew lacks funds, let's simply fund it yourself as the producer.
On impulse, he mortgaged his property to the bank.
For "In the Name of the People", Gao Yalin is full of confidence.
Before the results are out, he does not dare to assert whether the show will be profitable.
The show is too risky, so it's a bit risky.
I felt anxious every day and didn't even dare to go home during that time.
Fortunately, the show later became a huge success, proving his choice right.
In the Name of the People constructs a plot that is too complicated.
To save some money, we need more actors.
The director directly directs the crew to perform on stage.
Li Xuezheng participated in the role of Wang Wenge, and the producer was in charge.
Netizens harshly criticized Zheng Shengli's actor Que Benben, which made him blamed.
However, a closer look at the job list reveals that he is actually cramming as well.
I was originally the assistant director of Group B, and I did this to save costs.
Even the director himself is frugal.
Personally played a little-known small leadership role.
The crew is full of high-end brand-name goods.
In fact, there are many hidden secrets, which are bought at stalls.
LV belt, although it looks luxurious, is actually worth only ten yuan.
Secretary Dakang's watch is slightly more expensive, about fifty yuan.
The temperament of the actor is completely dependent on himself.
In order to ensure authenticity, the crew will sometimes be in a situation of economic prosperity.
It is common to buy high-end fashion clothing, which is usually very well preserved.
Only appears on important rich characters.
A poor crew has created the most wonderful anti-corruption drama in recent years.
On the day of the premiere, it attracted 3500 million viewers, a record high.
created a unique classic and became a popular drama that attracted much attention at that time.
These three crews have some financial support.
"Mao Liar" can be regarded as the poorest crew.
searched all over the country, but could not find a crew that was poorer than the crew of "Mao Liar".
These four words summarize their plight in a high level, and it is quite apt.
"Mao Liar" is a low-budget drama directed and acted by several graduates and produced with borrowed equipment.
This is actually a troupe.
Several actors are not only filming, but also do other jobs part-time.
Responsible for countless jobs such as directing, post-production, editing, and dubbing.
The actors are dressed for everyday wear, and there is no special costume group.
All props were borrowed, and no crew had to spend a penny extra.
The location was not ideal as it was not possible to rent a studio.
Most often, filming takes place on the side of the road.
As a result, the scenes filmed are all bland.
Some graduates were penniless and had no choice but to become group performers.
All scenes were filmed on location, and the extras were passers-by.
The sight of poverty, which still relies on the light of street lamps at night, is heart-wrenching.
Because he was too poor, he chose to shoot in Shijiazhuang, and even if a few people pooled money, they couldn't afford to pay the rent in Beijing.
The cold winters force people to light fires to keep warm because they can't afford to pay for heating.
A few and a half years old, barely finished filming the first season.
After being released on the web, this low-cost drama caused a huge response.
The filming process can almost be described as rough, however, in the end, it triumphs with a gripping reversal of the plot.
Chen Qing Ling" is only 83 points, while the first season was as high as 87 points.
Trick 2 and Trick 3 received higher ratings after receiving investment.
The score of Wulin Gaiden is 9 times higher than that of Gouda7 points.
There are few domestic dramas that can compare with the score of "Mao Liar 3".
The crew created these wonderful works out of their sincere desire to enjoy the excellent works.
A good drama must have excellent acting skills from the actors and a gripping script.
In the name of big productions, not fancy fanfares.
Still fooling the audience with bad acting skills and bad scripts.
Sometimes we uncover the appearance of traffic stars and big productions.
