The cameraman took pictures with the camera on the plane. Do you know how difficult it is to shoot the episode of Journey to the West in version 86?

The filming of the 86 edition of Journey to the West is beyond imagination. In order to shoot different scenes and find suitable shooting scenes, Director Yang Jie led the whole crew to visit enough famous mountains, rivers, temples and Taoist temples, and let us see one spectacular natural landscape after another. Such works will always cherish the magnificent mountains and rivers of our country.

The 86 version of Journey to the West became a classic because of the efforts of the crew, the seriousness and dedication of everyone, and the truth of all the scenes. This play is really difficult to shoot, because it was adapted from a ghost novel, and the shooting technique at that time was very immature. In order to shoot the ideal effect, the crew suffered a lot, which was really difficult.

For example, shooting Lotus Cave is really sad. This episode was shot in Shilin, Yunnan. According to director Yang Jie's plan, I want to shoot a scene in which two demon kings, Jinjiao and Yin Jiao, lead the little monsters to chase four masters and apprentices together. After thinking about it, everyone still thinks that aerial photography will be better.

But there was no special aerial equipment at that time, so the crew borrowed a small plane sprayed with pesticides from the Yunnan army to shoot. It is necessary for a photographer to take a camera with him when shooting with this plane.

When the photographer boarded the plane, four apprentices ran in front of him, while all the other crew members were asked to wear monster costumes. This is to avoid shooting through gangs, because shooting on the plane has a wide field of vision. If modern people appear in filming, they will put on costumes and don't waste shooting opportunities.

And the photographer on the plane had no contact with people on the ground at that time. When people on the ground saw the plane hovering back and forth in the air, everyone ran like hell. But at that time, the roads in the shooting place were not good, and these mountain roads were rugged. After running a few laps, everyone was out of breath.

On this day, in order to shoot this scene, the whole crew was busy from morning till night, but at night, everyone wanted to see the shooting effect, but the photographer seemed a little embarrassed. He didn't dare to show it to everyone because the shooting was not ideal. Because the cameraman is shooting on the plane with his camera on his back, it is difficult to get a clear picture. The plane flies so high that the people below can't run the plane at all.

The cameraman is Wang Chongqiu and his wife is director Yang Jie. He was worried that he would be scolded for taking out the shooting effect, but he struggled for a long time and still had to take out the results to watch the playback. But when watching the playback, everyone watched it for dozens of minutes and found that the camera was blurred and no one even made any noise.

After a hard day's work, all the actors got nothing and didn't get the desired effect. This attempt failed. Everyone has summed up experience and knows that photographers can't blame. He also works hard, but it is difficult to achieve the desired effect by shooting in this way on the plane.

In order to produce the ideal effect, everyone tried their own methods and even took risks in some aspects, but everyone tried to overcome them one by one. In order to make this play, they really encountered many difficulties and finally made it a classic.

The 86th edition of Journey to the West, at the time of shooting, China's TV drama industry has just started, and all aspects are immature, but it is still possible to shoot such a good TV drama and make it a classic. But now why are the shooting techniques more mature, the funds insufficient and the special effects better? Why are there fewer and fewer classic works?

Some people say that whether a work can become a classic and be liked by the public is the most important thing for the whole crew. If they really work hard, even if other conditions are not mature, the audience can still feel the efforts of the crew, and their eyes are discerning.

If a work is just to collect money as soon as possible, it is too commercialized and too profitable, and it is difficult to produce classic works with no amount of money. What do you think of this?
