Since 1983

CCTV's first martial arts drama should be "Drinking Horses and Flowing Flowers River" in 1996, which was adapted from Xiao Yi's original work.

But the impact is not big, and it is rarely mentioned. Later, when it comes to the first martial arts drama, it refers to "Swordsman". How did "Swordsman" come about?

At that time, "Water Margin" was broadcast, and Zhang Jizhong entered the rest period. Friends of three or five were drinking tea and chatting, and they talked about the hero complex, and had the initial idea of ​​​​making a martial arts drama.

It just so happened that Jin Yong was giving a speech at a university in Hangzhou, saying that if CCTV could make martial arts dramas in the spirit of "Water Margin" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I would sell them for one dollar.

So Zhang Jizhong contacted various parties, and CCTV also wanted to try new tricks, and finally finalized the filming of "Swordsman".

It is said that Ma Fuhao also stepped in. He knew Zhang Jizhong's wife, Fan Xinman, who made a documentary for him, and said that he wanted to play Feng Qingyang. But being disliked for his poor acting skills, he had to give up.

Do you think this is the end? No!

When filming "Dragon Babu" and "Jade Blood Sword", Ma Fuhao enthusiastically signed up, wanting to play the sweeping monk and Mu Renqing, but he also failed to make his debut.

Later, Ma Fuhao thought about it, so he just filmed movies! Arrangement of "Gong Shou Dao" is on.

So Jet Li, Sammo Hung, Yuan Heping, Cheng Xiaodong, Tony Jia, Wu Jing, Donnie Yen... If you have money, you can really hit ten!

Having said that, "Swordsman" was prepared in 1999 and launched in 2000, attracting the attention of the whole country. Even the theme song is sung by Liu Huan and Faye Wong, think about this row of noodles.

Then it was released in 2001, and it was sprayed like shit, scolded and hated at the same time. This thing was filmed with so much anticipation?

In fact, looking back, although this drama has many shortcomings, the quality is still good, especially compared with Jin Yong's dramas in recent years.

The ugliest Linghu Chong in history, Qiao Feng stepped on the skateboard and came down, and the colorful Duan Yu and A Zi... rubbed the audience's aesthetics and IQ on the ground.

Xu Fei was also tweeting at the time, but after thinking about it, part of the reason was "Hong Kong and Taiwan cultural worship", so he felt that he was good.

Of course, the shortcomings of "Swordsman" are obvious: the actors do not match, the rhythm is procrastinated, the fighting is not exciting, the drama is serious, there is no martial arts core, etc.

Zhang Jizhong has also made great progress, but Shooting the Condors is much better, and "Dragon Babu" is even more advanced than Shooting the Condors.

But there are some flaws from beginning to end: the two people suddenly stop in mid-air, the camera rotates 360 degrees, or blows with a blower, and the actors start to slow motion with disheveled hair...

The culprit is "The Matrix" directed by Yuan Baye!

After "The Matrix", martial arts have all changed to slow motion, 360-degree rotation, and swishing sound effects, and there is no Tsui Hark's free and fast speed.

But he said that Xu Fei was chatting with the deputy director here.

The other party was very excited, because the value of the big drama was already very obvious, and CCTV had a high status, and it would be embarrassing if there was no big drama to support it every year.

CCTV has no experience in martial arts. Teacher Xu has done "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", "Heroes with White Eyebrows" and "Nineteenth Sister Gan", and this product is full of flowers and unscrupulous.

"What do you want to shoot? Shooting the Condors, Smiling Proudly, Yi Tian Tu Long Ji?"

"Dragon Babu!"

Hiss!

The deputy director took a deep breath and said, "Hong Kong's "Dragon Babu" is very popular on the screen. We won't be able to make it soon, right?"

Needless to say, the 1997 edition of "Tian Long Ba Bu" once created a scene of simulcasting on 5 satellite TVs and ranked first in ratings. Later, it attracted the attention of relevant departments and stipulated that Hong Kong dramas cannot be broadcast during prime time.

"It will be planned this year, and it will be launched next year. It will be aired in 2000 at the earliest. Then the TV series will have been updated. Besides, what's wrong with filming immediately? I'm not afraid of comparison."

"This matter is important, I have to go back to Taili to study it."

"Can."

"Copyright?"

"It just so happens that I'm going to Hong Kong, and I'm talking about copyright by the way."

…………

In April, the big ship hit the iceberg.

In April, "Qiang Qiang Threesome" started broadcasting.

In April, Teacher Xu went to Hong Kong again.

This time it was completely different from the previous ones. Hong Kong Island, where international speculators came and went, was exhausted and weak. Those who were not involved were fine, but those with financial assets were bad.

Quite a scene of "Battle of the Great Era II Century".

The real estate market plummeted, rich people sold their real estate one after another, and people jumped off buildings every day. Xu Fei bought a thousand-foot mansion and gave it to Lao Song. It seems that Lao Song and Ah Chu are going to get married, so they must have a new house.

At this moment, the office of Sunshine Films.

Dou Shoufang, who was transferred to be the boss of Yindu, came over and said, "It took me two months to finally sort out my work. It's really different in Hong Kong. The mainland is full of politics, but here it's all about business."

"Are you still used to it?"

"Get used to it slowly, let's talk about work first."

Dou Shoufang flipped through a document and said: "Yindu has been brilliant for decades, but now it is tepid, mainly because there are no good works and a large market has been lost.

After cooperating with Sunshine, the benefits improved, and several films were very popular overseas. Especially in Korea, you don't know how much they love to watch "Sex is Empty".

Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and other places also picked up significantly. I sorted it by popularity, "Sex Is Empty" \u003e "Sweet Honey" \u003e "Fengyun". "

"Why did Fengyun end up in the end? The box office in Hong Kong broke 40 million, and there is hope to win the annual championship!" Lao Song wondered.

"After all, it's an adaptation of a comic book. Local audiences are more attached to it. Others just watch the special effects. The special effects are not as good as Hollywood."

"Fengyun" won this year's championship with 41.5 million Hong Kong dollars, and the mainland box office is 20 million yuan.

Xu Fei also flipped through the pages and said, "The distribution channels in East Asia and Southeast Asia must be consolidated."

"I know that the old company in Yindu has a lot of friendship with the film studios there. However, the market share in Hong Kong Island is small, and they can't compare with Golden Harvest."

"It's okay, what I want is the land in Hong Kong, not the Hong Kong market."

The biggest explosion in the Hong Kong market in recent years was still a big ship, and it was able to hit 128 million in a tiny place.

If there is no overseas channel in Hollywood, the volume will never increase. Xu Fei can hand over the mainland distribution rights of Cactus works to China Film Group, and the Asian agency rights to Yindu.

There is no way to do it in Europe, and the wasteland has not yet been opened up—is there anyone who writes European entertainment articles?

"Affected by the financial turmoil, film and television companies have run out of money, and many projects have been suspended or funding cuts. I predict that the market will be even more bleak next year..."

Old Songhui reported: "Golden Harvest's "Chinese Hero" is also a blockbuster with special effects. Funds are short, so I want to cooperate with us."

"Don't talk about it."

"Chinese Heroes" is also a cartoon, which has been contested by many people. At first, it was Cheng Long and Hua Tsai who had a dispute, because Huang Yulang and Cheng Long had a friendship, so they sold it to him.

But Cheng Long didn't take a shot when he got it. After the deadline, Tsui Hark and Liu Wei fought again. Tsui Hark wanted to find Aaron Kwok as the protagonist, but lost to Liu Weiqiang in the end.

Because Tsui Hark is used to being extravagant, Lau Wai Keung knows how to save money. But he made cuts and cuts, and finally made a bad movie, with a box office of only more than 20 million.

"Director Li An has a film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The management withdrew the investment, and they are looking for money all over the world."

Lao Song was afraid that he didn't know him, so he explained: "Li An is a director of Taiwanese literary and artistic films, he is quite famous, and he has also made films in Hollywood."

"Okay, make an appointment."

"good!"

Lao Song looked at the notebook and said, "Then we will have a project "My Sassy Girl" this year?"

"There's nothing you can do about the recession, one is enough."
