Chapter 175 Japanese Version of "Journey to the West"? (Second Update!)
In the evening, the lights come on.
The current municipal construction of Xiangjiang is still in the development stage. In the future, the night view of Taiping Mountain, one of the three famous night scenes in the world, has not yet taken shape.
Looking down from the top of Victoria Peak today, it cannot be said to be desolate, but it is still an area made up of sparse buildings and more old buildings, which has no aesthetic feeling.
Because Qiu Ping had called in advance a few days ago, Yin Jun came to Qiu Shuzhen's house for dinner, and Wang Qiuxia cooked a table of good dishes to thank Yin Jun for taking care of her daughter.
Everyone talked and laughed after dinner, and Qiu Ping went back to his room to prepare lessons. Although his salary is high, he still needs to work hard to improve himself in order to enjoy this kind of treatment, especially in Xiangjiang, where competition is fierce. The place.
Yin Jun and Qiu Shuzhen were sitting on the sofa watching TV, while Wang Qiuxia was knitting by the side.
It's 7 o'clock now, and Qiu Shuzhen turned on wireless TVB, watching "Journey to the West" that started broadcasting yesterday.
You read that right, it is the TV series "Journey to the West", but it was not filmed in mainland China, but in Japan.
The first TV series "Journey to the West" in history started last year and was produced by Japan's International Screening Company. It also went to Huaguo for a period of time to film the scene. It took more than a year to complete the production, and then last month in the Japan's NHK TV began broadcasting.
As soon as the play aired, it was greatly welcomed by Japanese audiences, especially the male number one in it—Tang Sanzang, played by Japanese actress Natsume Masako, who was deeply loved by everyone.
Yin Jun said it was difficult to understand the preferences of the Japanese.
Why did you think of using a woman to play Tang Sanzang? If such a weird setting is placed in Huaguo, it will be scolded to death before it is broadcast.
But the Japanese feel that this is very good, and the effect is also very good.
Seeing how popular it is in Japan, TVB immediately bought the copyright and broadcast it on its own TV station.
Two days ago, the second part of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was finished, and the third part was about to enter, but due to difficulties in filming, it was temporarily suspended for two days, so I just bought "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" Journey to the West will be broadcast at this time.
Anyway, Japan broadcasts one episode a week, so there is no need to worry that the progress will be delayed a lot.
Qiu Shuzhen watched it with gusto, especially the swarthy Monkey King, but since Yin Jun watched the Monkey King played by Liu Xiaolingtong, Zhang Weijian's version and Zhou Xingchi's version are not enough to watch, let alone the Japanese version that's it.
In the first episode where the stone monkey was born, Yin Jun was deeply impressed that the scene was like a Japanese horror movie. Not only did a stone ball spit out from the belly of the mountain, but the stone ball rolled to the side of the mountain and stood upright. After being struck by lightning, a fat orangutan covered in black hair jumped out of it very bulkily.
Looking at this alone, Yin Jun felt that this was simply subverting his imagination. If Sun Wukong saw himself born like this being photographed like this, he would surely stab these guys to death with a golden cudgel.
In comparison, the 86 version of "Journey to the West", the earth-shattering appearance of the stone monkey born, rolling up to the sky, that is a shock and comfort.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the Japanese version of "Journey to the West" has no bad points. In fact, our 86 version of "Journey to the West" has some settings and borrowed from them.
For example, in the theme song, the three-dimensional characters of "Journey to the West" are pushed from a distance from small to large to the front of the lens, which is similar to the Japanese version. Of course, our "Journey to the West" is produced in the same way as the font In terms of beauty, it is better than the Japanese version.
Of course, the Japanese version of "Journey to the West" is not the worst Journey to the West in history. The 2006 Katori Shingo version makes people want to send blades to the production team.
But the most troublesome thing is the Vietnamese version of "Journey to the West", which completely destroys childhood, three views and life. With Yin Jun's strong tolerance, I never want to watch it again after watching it once. I dare not even think about it.
Leaving aside such a disgusting thing.
Seeing the Japanese version of "Journey to the West", what Yin Jun thinks about most is the 86 version of "Journey to the West".
This TV series has been filmed since 1982 and has been filmed for more than a thousand days. It not only gives children born in the 70s and 80s an unforgettable memory, but it is also a record-breaking little expert.
From 1986 to 2020, every summer vacation, Huaxia TV or other local TV stations always broadcast "Journey to the West", and every time there are so many people watching it, the ratings are still so high, compared to 1999 "Han Zhu Ge Ge", which has been rebroadcast every year since 2010, is so strong that I don't know where it went.
One of the happiest things about Yin Jun when he was a child was that every summer afternoon, he held a small bench by himself, sat next to the TV in the orphanage, and watched "Journey to the West" with the children with relish, and then a group of bear children Holding all kinds of weapons and starting to fight, either Brother Hou's second senior brother Sha defeated the monster, or a large group of monsters directly defeated the group of five... The fight was hearty.
Thinking of the beautiful memories of his childhood, Yin Jun couldn't help thinking of the filming process of "Journey to the West".
Oh, right.
Legend has it that after two years, the 1978 Japanese version of Journey to the West spread to the mainland, allowing a group of old scholars to see that Tang Seng was actually played by a woman, and the plot was so exaggerated and naive, so they actively gave it to the country. The giants wrote a letter requesting to shoot their own "Journey to the West" to promote the national culture. That's why the filming of "Journey to the West" in 1982 started.
Many people can't imagine that such a beautiful "Journey to the West" was shot by one camera, and there is no second one.
Because at that time, Huaxia TV did not have a few high-end cameras, and it was very supportive to have one for the crew of "Journey to the West".
All shots are taken by a camera, do you think the speed can be increased?
Also, because there is no money, the wires that the film crew bought back from Xiangjiang—that is, the steel wires—are second-hand. After Ya came down, he was thankful that the steel wire didn't break, and he didn't break his arm or leg.
There were many, many other difficulties, but they finally gritted their teeth and overcame them, completed the shooting task very well, and showed us an excellent work.
If you have any regrets, it is that "Journey to the West" has only 25 episodes due to financial and technical problems, and many storylines have not been shown.
In 1998, Director Yang Jie re-directed Journey to the West, and made another 16-episode sequel. Although the same people were still there except for the change of the second brother, everyone always felt that the flavor was missing.
Many people always think that if there were more funds and more technical support when the filming started in 1982, so that Director Yang Jie could complete the filming of "Journey to the West" in one go, how many people would be looking forward to it? !
Fortunately, it is now 1978, and there are still more than three years before the filming of "Journey to the West" will start.
With such a long time to prepare, Yin Jun will support the crew of "Journey to the West" so that they can finish filming "Journey to the West" smoothly, which is also a matter of great merit.
If this is connected to the previous life, Yin Jun can at least get the gratitude and blessing of hundreds of millions of people!
"Brother~Brother~~"
Qiu Shuzhen's shout woke up Yin Jun who was thinking.
Looking up, the little girl was muttering and looking at herself, with a look of "I'm not happy".
"Doudou, what's wrong?" Yin Jun asked in surprise.
"I've called you several times, what are you thinking? You don't watch TV shows with others properly." Qiu Shuzhen complained.
"Oh, do you think this looks good?" Yin Jun asked.
"It's beautiful, look at how handsome Tang Seng is, and how majestic Sun Wukong is? It's so good at fighting monsters!" Qiu Shuzhen praised with all her heart.
Yin Jun smiled, and you will know what a classic is when you see the mainland version of "Journey to the West".
In the previous life, "Journey to the West" was broadcast in Xiangjiang, but it was almost 10 years later in 1995. Due to the long time gap and the extremely poor dubbing, the ratings on ATV were only about 16%-but it was not bad Well, ATV's average audience rating is less than 10%, so a few percentage points more, it has proved that it is a high-quality broadcast on ATV.
"Doudou, when you watch TV, you should think about other people's movements and expressions more, don't just watch it for fun, otherwise how will you become the best female star in the future?" Yin Jun patted her little head and said.
"Hehe, I just need to be pretty." Qiu Shuzhen said arrogantly.
"There are many beautiful women, but many of them are not famous." Yin Jun said.
"That's them, I must be better than them." Qiu Shuzhen clenched her small fists, "The directors said that I am very spiritual, and I must be a big star when I grow up."
Yin Jun smiled and nodded.
Of course he wouldn't tell the little girl that Lin Lingdong was mostly looking out of his own face, that's why he praised this little girl who only made a few cameos in "Falcon".
Qiu Ping and Wang Qiuwen had always regretted missing the opportunity of "Wulin Biography" before. When they called Yin Jun, they mentioned the idea of wanting Qiu Shuzhen to exercise from time to time.
So a few days ago, Yin Jun brought Qiu Shuzhen to the "Falcon" crew, and asked Lin Lingdong to take care of her.
Think about it, Lin Lingdong admired and appreciated Yin Jun in the first place. Although the person he personally brought was only a ten-year-old girl, how could there be any reason not to treat him favorably?
So Qiu Shuzhen, who only played for five minutes in total and had only three lines of dialogue, became a smart child star praised by everyone in the crew.
But Yin Jun also heard about it. It took this girl more than an hour to shoot these shots, and another cameraman followed her to shoot them. If she and Zhang Guorong were allowed to shoot together, it would definitely have a great impact schedule.
Shooting separately in this way, and then editing together in post-production, it will be completely seamless.
Of course, many people will have this kind of situation when they are shooting a TV series or film for the first time, not to mention Qiu Shuzhen, even the students who graduated from such prestigious schools as Huaxi Jingying, many of them are like this.
Geniuses are very hard to find. Most people are ordinary people. Only by constantly pondering and challenging yourself can you succeed step by step.
Qiu Shuzhen is naturally not as good as Lin Qingxia, nor is she as good as Zhao Yazhi. When she was at her peak, she mostly relied on her own style, rather than her acting skills.
Yin Jun doesn't have high requirements for her, just be a beautiful vase with some acting skills, anyway, it's the same in Hollywood, beautiful women are in charge of scenery, male stars are in charge of acting skills, basically this is the model.
As long as you show your best side to the audience, that is the most brilliant acting time.
