It's sunny in Chaoan County, Chaozhou City.
Lao Xigu's experience at that time was very difficult. Actors shoot from morning till night every day and can't rest for hours. In addition, even if you sit on the kang, you should put a quilt on it. Li Youbin, the leading actor, was tired once and fell asleep in the bath tub with the script in his arms.
When the older generation filmed the anti-Japanese drama, they did have a deep understanding of the military life of the soldiers in the plot, so the effect presented was real enough and full of substitution.
But some old artists won't touch this kind of drama casually.
Chen was asked in the interview: "What drama are you not shooting?"
He replied without hesitation: "I don't shoot anti-Japanese dramas. It is not only a TV series, but also a correct view of history! "
"I'm thinking, those after 90 s and 00 s, watching anti-Japanese dramas, wearing leather clothes and holding muskets, do you think that's what anti-Japanese is like? Men like Pan An, women like Liu! "
But the old artists can say that they can't stop some "thoughtful" directors from fighting against the persistence and love of Japanese dramas.
The youth version of "Bright Sword 3", just the poster label was spit out by everyone. The drama "Liang Jian 3" was completed on 20 17, and the publicity was finished on 20 18. At that time, the poster labels were: youth, idol, blood, legend, which was spit out by everyone, because anti-Japanese, youth and idol were put on it, which really made people smell a strong sense of disobedience!
After several twists and turns, this "anti-Japanese idol drama" finally started broadcasting in 2020. As expected, the whole network was taken off the shelf without broadcasting a few episodes, and it was also criticized by the People's Daily:
"In this TV series, the Eighth Route Army soldiers were actually allowed to live in luxury villas, and almost all the protagonists used hair gel and wax. This is too far from the historical truth! "
The dress in the play is out of line with history. The reason why the play was taken off the shelf so quickly is that there are several unacceptable places:
1. In the play, the "warrior" is well dressed, the man wears hair gel and wax, and the woman still wears tight skirts and high heels in the war environment.
2. The battle was "fake": all the staff turned the charge into a fashion show. After some fighting, the clothes are clean and tidy, which is totally untrue.
3. In that era of lack of materials, Guo Xunkui, played by Vengo, had to hold a cigar when he was about to charge, which made people have to vomit.
4. Wang Yunshan, played by Leon, is obviously a tough guy, but even the "female warrior" makes faces, which is extremely greasy, which is extremely inconsistent with the character image and personality characteristics at that time.
The ruins of Duke Lushan in Liang Jian 3 and Zray are not worth seeing. In fact, Liang Jian 3 is similar to Duke of Lushan, which Zray is about to make a comeback. "Liang Jian" and "Duke of Lushan" are both classics, and they are very eye-catching ready-made IP for directors and producers. The problem is that both of them have deep historical knowledge and traces.
Zray, Duke of Lushan, was accused of acting like a monkey and pretending. He responded himself because he wanted to make the play more interesting, so in fact, it was the director's intention to try a new way of interpretation.
The same is true of One Sword and Three Swords. I think the producer should be based on the dual trend of the popularity of idol dramas in the current market and the younger people who follow them, so he wants to "idolize" and "rejuvenate" Japanese dramas, so as to achieve a breakthrough and make them a unique existence.
However, innovative thinking is certainly good. With the development of the new era, everything is encouraging innovation, but it is obviously inappropriate to use it in historical dramas.
History cannot be rewritten because it has a specific environment, a specific background, a specific person and a specific life characteristic.
Several elements of the story are time, place, people, cause, process and result. For history, these aspects cannot be changed at will. After all, as Chen said, this involves a correct view of history.
In addition, the cast of Liang Jian 3 is almost a new generation of young actors. The actor himself may not know the history, and it is very likely that the role was misled, so the role presented misled the audience.
Conclusion The hype in the entertainment circle is of course important, and the innovation of film and television is also necessary, but for classic dramas, respect is the bottom line and cannot be destroyed in order to surpass the classics.
I think many classic movies and TV series, let it leave good memories for everyone, don't shoot again and again, classics are classics, and it's hard to surpass them!
