"Bright Sword" caused a lot of jokes due to lack of funds. The cavalry regiment only had two horses, and Li Yunlong was an extra. What happened?

I don’t know when it started. Now when everyone talks about anti-Japanese dramas, they will think of anti-Japanese dramas. It is true that there have been too many anti-Japanese dramas in recent years. It is estimated that eight out of ten anti-Japanese dramas are anti-Japanese dramas. In fact, the acting skills of the actors in most anti-Japanese dramas are quite good, but the plots are too exaggerated and completely distort the reality. History, and even some plots that go against common sense also appear in anti-Japanese dramas. For example, the bun grenade, the bullet can turn, the hand can tear the enemy, etc. It is true to say that it is an anti-Japanese drama.

It should be said that the anti-Japanese dramas filmed in the early days are more realistic and contemporary, and it is easy to bring the audience into them. For example, the original drama "Bright Sword", even though it has been 14 years ago, is still a classic among classics and is watched over and over again. The storyline is worth savoring. The actors in the play played their roles vividly and vividly demonstrated the characteristics of each character. Even the costumes and props are very realistic and historical.

It is worth mentioning that for such a high-quality anti-Japanese drama, the total investment is less than 10 million. The entire crew only has two cameras, one for close-ups and one for filming. play. There wasn’t even a decent green room. Moreover, the filming time spanned the entire winter. The actors filmed from morning to night every day in the cold winter. It can be said that the conditions were quite difficult.

In addition, the crew also made a lot of jokes during filming due to lack of funds. For example, there was a scene where a cavalry regiment was shot, but when the director first came to the scene to prepare for filming, there was no cavalry regiment, there were only two horses.

There was also a scene where Li Youbin, who played Li Yunlong, changed his appearance and acted as an extra because the crew's funds were really tight. When the bandits confronted the monks, it was also very dramatic, but many people may not have noticed. In fact, it was very common in the early film and television industry for TV series in which the main character became an extra in the middle. For example, during the filming of "Journey to the West", one actor played many roles. The key is that the audience has not noticed it yet.
