The 86th edition of The Journey to the West's shooting fund is broken. Who raised money to tide over the difficulties?

The 86th edition of The Journey to the West can be described as an indelible mark in the childhood memory of several generations, and has long been firmly labeled as a "classic". It has been played thousands of times so far, enough to apply for Guinness World Records, and it is still enduring. Whenever Kotone Amamiya music starts at the beginning of the movie, I know that a journey to the West is coming. Even according to music and lines, I can imagine every picture without watching TV, because I have watched it countless times, but I still can't get enough.

In fact, there are countless difficulties to overcome compared with the four disciples, and the real shooting behind the 86 th edition of Journey to the West is even more difficult. Let's start with the most basic meal. At that time, the standard of eating was low, and the male crew often filmed half full. Since there is only a quota of 50 cents per meal, the shooting location has been moved to a place with high consumption, such as Guangzhou. "A bowl of jiaozi 2.5 yuan, only 6, men simply do not have enough to eat. Director Yang Jie often has to buy food for the staff from his own pocket. "

In very important shooting, the film crew only has a camera, a video recorder, several ladders and a bundle of ropes, but now there are no common big rocker arms and rail cars. Aerial photography can only be solved by small planes spraying pesticides. The cameraman is tied to the cabin door and leans out to shoot, which is very dangerous and has a high probability of failure. In order to show the effect that the Monkey King was dizzy with pain after being read, the actor and photographer must be made to roll on the ground clockwise and counterclockwise respectively.

In terms of actor income, the main actors only have 70 to 80 yuan a month. At that time, the six-year-old boy, as a well-deserved number one actor, got 80 yuan for an episode. The average crew is only about 30 yuan. Many of them were injured because of the difficult shooting conditions, but no one felt pain or fatigue.

However, it was in this very thrifty situation that the crew encountered huge financial difficulties when filming Hong Haier 14 episode, and was once asked to finish filming. However, Director Yang Jie insisted on filming, and after many negotiations, he was allowed to find his own funds to shoot. Finally, Li Hongchang, the actor of centipede essence, found the Engineering BureauNo. 1 1 of the Ministry of Railways to invest 3 million yuan, which made this classic play complete 25 episodes. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the savior of the 86 th edition of Journey to the West.

Not only the money, but also the choice of each actor at that time. No matter how old you are, you will only be given appropriate role-playing, not the number of plays arranged for you according to your fame. So many big names at that time may be just small roles or negative roles. For example, Mr. Yang, the actor of Bai, claims to be the first in Shanghai, and his singing skills are praised by Mr. Wang as a real legend. He was a lot of idols in the 1950s and 1960s, but in the eyes of director Yang Jie, he was also the most suitable role for Bai, not the king of the daughter country.

With the development of the times, some TV dramas now have high investment, high salaries for actors and a large number of celebrities, but their works are hard to reach new heights. Later, some critics said that the greatness of director Yang Jie lies in this and will not be bound by money, relationships and big names! As long as any actor's role is not suitable for you, no matter how famous you are, how good your relationship is and how much money you have, you will never be allowed to play! This has also produced many actors in The Journey to the West, and they are all wonderful!
