The three "poorest" crews in history, but which crews are they?

I have to say that the previous film and television shooting was not funded by too many people, and many crews were struggling for their livelihood. However, it is precisely because of the lack of funds for the crew and the hard work of the actors that an unparalleled classic TV series is presented to us. To say "poor crew", there must be The Journey to the West crew, "Wulin Legend" crew and "Sword" crew.

Journey to the west

This should be the poorest crew. When I was a child, I loved watching Journey to the West. As soon as school is over, I will sit in front of the TV with a small bench, and I have no intention of leaving at dinner time. But we don't know how difficult it is to make this classic film. At that time, the crew had only one camera, so they stopped shooting if they had no money, and they would continue shooting if they had funds. The short 25 episodes of TV series took 6 years to shoot and 6 million to shoot. At that time, the salaries of these actors were very low, and the crew put all their money into shooting. The sparkling clothes worn by actors in TV dramas are all hand-made. But the The Journey to the West shot at that time is a classic that the current crew can't surpass.

"Wulin Legend" crew

This crew was also quite poor at that time. It started broadcasting in 2006, and it has been 13 years now. Many of these scenes are believed to be fresh in everyone's memory. But do you still remember that the actors in this TV series are quite simple, all dressed in coarse clothes, all shot with very cheap basic props, and the guest roles in the TV series are directors and assistant directors. Just relying on an inn supported the whole drama, which shows how much money was saved for the crew by just one inn at that time.

The crew of "Liang Jian"

"Bright Sword" is also a classic drama with anti-Japanese theme. It is such a classic drama that it was shot by a poor crew. At that time, there were 36 episodes of "Bright Sword" before it was cut, but in the end it only cost 9 million, which can be said to be very small for anti-Japanese TV dramas. The expenses such as the smoke field of the big scene and the remuneration of the leading actor are quite considerable.

I have to say that many of the current crews are well-funded, but the movies and TV series they shoot are not eye-catching. Nowadays, many crews really just go to traffic, and invite some stars who are online but have poor acting skills to play. I sincerely hope that the current cast will use investors' money to make some truly meaningful movies and TV series.
