Master Liaozhai Fortune Telling TV Series _ Watch Master Liaozhai Fortune Telling TV Series online
The 1980s was indeed the golden age for the development of China's TV dramas. The TV drama industry has just started less than 10 years, and there are TV dramas such as Dream of Red Mansions, Journey to the West, Four Generations under One roof, and plainclothes policemen. Imported from Hongkong, Taiwan Province and abroad are also very popular.
In this context, local TV stations all over the country have also launched a number of excellent TV dramas, such as Water Margin of Rushan Dongtai, Bao Gong of Henan Satellite TV, and Legend of Kant's First Bodyguard of Changchun Satellite TV, all of which basically reflect local characteristics.
There is a TV series that most people think was shot by CCTV according to its original classic level and production level. It's actually the work of a local TV station. This is a large-scale TV series "Liaozhai" jointly shot by Fujian TV Station and Nanchang Film and Television Creation Institute.
One, two important people, novel shooting mode
Many viewers think that "Liaozhai" was shot by CCTV, and some viewers think that it was shot by Shandong TV, because the opening song was sung in Shandong dialect, but in fact, "Liaozhai" was shot by Fujian TV, which is unknown in the country. The starting point of this shooting is Yu Yueting, who has just been appointed as the director of Fujian TV Station.
Yu Yueting was inspired by CCTV's Journey to the West. As soon as he took office, he was determined to make a career. He found Dong Li, who was snubbed by Fujian TV. They had a good talk. Dong Li suddenly put forward a plan to shoot 60 episodes of Liaozhai, and Yu Yueting immediately agreed.
1987 In March, the recording headquarters of Liaozhai was established, and its members were mainly composed of Fujian TV Station and Nanchang Film and Television Creation Institute.
The headquarters was established, but there was no money. You know, CCTV's 25 episodes of Journey to the West cost 6 million, Dream of Red Mansions cost more than 8 million, and Fujian Satellite TV's 60 episodes of Liaozhai didn't get 1 0,000.
Dong Li put forward a novel and even advanced shooting mode at that time, that is, shooting while broadcasting. He first found some interested units to talk about cooperation with film studios, and first took 200 thousand to shoot several episodes. After selling the copyright, we will take back the profit and continue to shoot, so that we can broadcast and shoot back and forth.
It should be said that Dong Li and Yu Yueting's vision and courage were rare in China in the 1980s. In their hands, Liaozhai was filmed from scratch and finally made into 50 films with 80 episodes. (Actually, there may be only 77 episodes, and two episodes of "Miscanthus" 1 and "Fengyang Native" were deleted. )
Due to the great success of Liaozhai, Yu Yueting put forward a plan to shoot the whole 80-episode Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the process of attracting investment, which was supported by Ruan, director of China TV Production Center.
Unfortunately, in 1990, the superior of Fujian TV Station suddenly dismissed Yu Yueting as the director of Fujian TV Station, and the new director terminated the filming of Liaozhai, so the famous works such as Painted Skin and Nie Xiaogan, which were originally planned to be started soon, had no choice but to abort.
Ruan, director of China TV drama production center, saw that Yu Yueting was dismissed, and immediately withdrew the authorization of China TV drama production center to plan and shoot Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Fujian TV Station missed the best opportunity to become the top TV station in China Province.
Second, famous directors and stars gather, and stars gather.
Judging from the scale of writers, directors and actors, Liaozhai may be a legend in the history of China TV series. Because most stories are shot in batches, there are twenty or thirty screenwriters, dozens of directors and hundreds of actors involved in shooting. Because there are many fairies in Liaozhai, there are many beautiful actors in the play.
Among the directors is Xie Jin, whom we are familiar with. He directed two episodes of New Ten Niangs. Shuhuang Zhong directed two episodes of Feng Sanniang. Chen Jialin directed two episodes of Parrot Romance. Zhao Huanzhang directed Ruiyun and Life and Death Field, and Wang Fulin directed two episodes of West Lake Master.
In addition, Liaozhai also brings together many famous beauty stars in China, such as The Flower Girl starring the great beauty He Qing. He Qing is really fierce. Besides the Grand Slam in the four classical novels, she also starred in Liaozhai, becoming the first Hua Dan in China costume drama.
Another beauty in ancient costume, Chen Hong, starred in Emei with a Beautiful Smile.
In Beauty, there are Qu Ying and Ma Xiaoqing, who was very popular at that time.
Why are so many famous directors and actors filming Liaozhai without pay? You know, the shooting cost of Liaozhai is almost entirely sponsored, and the funds are very tight. Yu Yueting and Dong Li sent word that those who want to make money should not shoot Liaozhai, but they still can't stop so many directors and famous actors from taking the initiative to report it.
Even due to the limited shooting conditions, some actors actually have to stay with real animals such as pythons when shooting. After all, the borrowing cost of pythons in zoos is much cheaper than buying special effects equipment for special effects.
In my opinion, the reason why so many famous directors and actors are willing to make Liaozhai is that there was no remake at that time, except that everyone had a sense of quality and was willing to contribute to art. No one expected that classic works like Four Great Classical Novels and Liaozhai would be remake again and again. So, as a literary and art worker, who doesn't want to leave his mark on the classic TV series that will last forever?
Third, unforgettable film titles and theme songs.
To tell the truth, there are not many viewers who can watch all 70 episodes of Liaozhai, mainly because the broadcast is too scattered, and each episode is self-contained. I don't know how many episodes I have watched. But the title and song of Liaozhai are enough for you to remember for life.
Let's talk about this title first. At that time, the author almost dared to cover his eyes and ears, especially the lantern at the beginning and the soundtrack were enough to make you sleep well at night. Although the scary picture behind it seems normal now, those years were really childhood shadows.
Until now, some people have asked me which horror film I have seen impressed me the most, and the title of Liaozhai is definitely among the best.
Although the title is scary, I have to say that the opening song of Liaozhai is really wonderful.
The composer of the opening song is Wang Liping, the composer of A Dream of Red Mansions, and the lyrics are Qiao Yu. Master Qiao of the author's hometown has always maintained a local accent. It is said that when reading the lyrics to Wang Liping, Wang Liping got inspiration from Qiao Yu's Jining accent in Shandong, and the Shandong characteristics of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio came out like this.
The author thinks that Master Qiao's lines are perfect, which can fully reflect the mentality behind Pu Songling's writing Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio. If you have to sum up Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio in one sentence, the sentence "Ghost is not that ghost, blame is not that strange, ghosts are more lovely than gentlemen" is enough!
