The year of the Dragon, Jiachen, the month of Bingyin, and the day of Yimao.
The twelfth day of the first lunar month.
Suitable for: getting married, traveling, moving, signing contracts, transactions, moving into a new house, opening a business, breaking ground, and praying.
Taboo: None.
An auspicious day in the standard sense.
The camera was covered with a red cloth and an incense table was placed in front of it. The crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" officially started filming.
At the scene, Han Zhou did not go to the front row.
Zhang Jiuquan led the entire team to start the opening ceremony.
This time, Zhang Jiuquan will take the lead alone.
Before the end of the year two years ago, Zhang Jiuqun started following Han Zhou, and in the first month of last year, the filming of "The World's Number One" started .
At the beginning, Zhang Jiuqun was only a nominal director, and Zhou Xuyun, who was recommended by Han Sisheng, was the assistant director and the actual director.
And the crew at that time had a lot of stars and top actors.
This year, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" started filming, with a large number of second-tier actors and many supporting roles that are very familiar to the audience.
However, the leading actors are not famous.
The leading male actor, who plays Guo Jing, is Wang Chuyang.
Wang Chuyang, you say he is handsome, but he also has a bit of naivety.
You say he is not handsome, but his fans say he is handsome every day.
After half a year of college life, Wang Chuyang's acting skills can be said to have just taken off.
At least, he understands a lot of the skills needed for real acting.
Tianle used to be a film and television company, and Wang Chuyang was influenced by it since he was a child, so he naturally knows more than the others in ACE9.
Surprisingly, the role of Yang Kang was played by Zhang Die.
Logically speaking, Zhang Die, who grew up in a poor family, does not have the temperament of a nobleman.
Moreover, he has only learned acting for half a year and he should not be able to act like a nobleman.
However, when Chen Xiaoyong was in charge of organizing the group, he had discussed this with Han Zhou.
What Han Zhou meant was to see whether Zhang Die could grow during the filming of this drama.
In his previous life, Lao Hu had acted in unknown movies before starring in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and then he played the leading role in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
In that era, many young actors were selected directly from schools.
So much so that later at the Shanghai Drama Academy, teachers really hated when production crews came to the school to select people.
This person goes to film a movie today, and that person goes to film a movie tomorrow. Not many people can complete the entire course.
However, there is also a big problem here.
Some actors who are trained in acting only get the chance to play a third, fourth or fifth male role ten years later. In the first ten years, they are just playing minor roles.
Some people even gave up on this career altogether.
So, is opportunity important or is learning important?
In fact, there is no conflict. Anyone who is truly motivated can definitely balance this issue. Is it difficult to study while filming?
If Zhang Die can do it, Han Zhou will start to support him next year.
If you can't do it, then forget it. Just earn money for a few years and prepare for your retirement.
At most, Han Zhou asked Yang Hong to keep a closer eye on them so that they would not squander all their money when they could make the most money.
Don’t even mention the role of Ouyang Ke, as it was originally given to Lin Jianqiu.
Because the role of Ouyang Feng was given to Lin Xiaoxing.
As the prince of love songs, even though he is over 40, it is still quite incongruous for him to play this role.
If Brother Chen had not had a lot of scenes in the previous "Kung Fu" and Lin Xiaoxing had not made some breakthroughs in his personal acting image, he would probably not be willing to take this role.
However, Lin Xiaoxing readily agreed to the role of Ouyang Feng.
The reason is actually very simple. The kings of this world, unless they are kings of a specialized category like rock, must be good at film, television and music.
Lin Xiaoxing is not far from becoming a quasi-king, and is only one step away from becoming a king.
Maybe I can climb to this position before I retire.
Therefore, he is also willing to try and seek some opportunities on the small screen.
Apart from these three characters, the most important young character is only Torre.
If we consider the interests, the role of Torre should be given to Wang Mo or Liu Yanzhou.
After Liu Yanzhou starred in the "Never Expected" series, his acting skills were honed. He is much better as an actor than as a singer.
but!
There are still certain requirements for the image of the character of Torre.
In the end, the role was given to Penguin's McCarty.
However, Han Zhou is unlikely to suffer a loss. Li Shanghong agreed to give up a large share of the profits. In the future, when "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is released on Penguin Video, Longdian Chinese Network will hold a series of activities for "Jin Gu Liang Huang".
At the same time, Penguin Video will give "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" an independent page.
In addition, Penguin Chat Software will provide New World with three big data pop-up windows.
These three big data pop-up windows are very important.
Han Zhou can be used for many things.
The benefits given by Penguin are enough to replace the role of Torre, even if they replace Guo Jing.
This is also the benefit brought by Han Zhou's promotion to Li Shanghong.
After Li Shanghong gained more power, he and Han Zhou could communicate more with each other.
As for the other members of ACE9, they can only play roles such as the disciples of the Seven Quanzhen Masters, the prince of the Wanyan family, and ordinary martial artists.
Other complex characters such as the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, the Seven Sons of Quanzhen, Temujin's men, Lu Chengfeng, and Wu Santong all need to be performed by veteran actors with experience in martial arts.
As for female characters.
The role of Huang Rong is played by Yuan Xiaomei.
Yuan Xiaomei is now signed to Tianle. Logically speaking, Tianle has plenty of dramas to support her.
However, there are too few actresses on the market who can perform beautifully in action scenes, especially young actresses around 20 years old.
Moreover, her father, Yuan Baoqing, is a relatively strong martial arts instructor in the industry. He has been with Han Zhou for a year and is considered a middle-level leader in the company.
Just to save face, I used Yuan Xiaomei.
As for the role of Hua Zheng, Han Zhou didn't know who to give it to at first, so he let Chen Xiaoyong choose.
Later, Chen Xiaoyong said that Zhang Jiuquan provided a candidate.
That is Zhou Le, the female host of Mango TV's "Happy Home".
Zhang Jiuquan felt that Zhou Le’s image and personality were very suitable for this role.
Moreover, apart from New World’s own people, there are very few first-tier stars in this drama.
Although Zhou Le is not a full-time actor but a host and actor, he can bring some popularity to the show.
Zhang Jiuqun is the director of this play. Since he has chosen the people, Chen Xiaoyong has no objection.
When Han Zhou found out, he had no objection.
After all, Han Zhou is preparing to carry out in-depth cooperation with Tang Chi. Zhou Le and Tang Chi have hosted programs together for several years and have a very good relationship. It would be good to improve their relationship.
After all, in addition to being suitable for the role, it also has the effect of building relationships, which is killing two birds with one stone.
Although there are not many big stars this time, basically all the top supporting actors in martial arts scenes from the entire entertainment industry have been recruited.
It's quite a strong lineup.
Speaking of which, we were able to invite so many people thanks to the directors who did that last year.
After Han Zhou filmed "Number One Under Heaven", many companies immediately followed suit and made some new martial arts TV series such as "Number Two Under Heaven".
But they failed to capture the essence of the show and were scolded by the audience after the TV series was aired.
For the sake of their own acting career, these supporting actors must of course find a good drama to justify themselves.
After hearing that New World was going to film another martial arts drama, many roles were recommended by people who had already come to the door before we even invited them.
It was much easier for Chen Xiaoyong to set up this scheme than he had imagined.
This is the benefit of a strong company.
Han Zhou spent a week on the set of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
All the scenes that Zhen Zhibing wanted to shoot were filmed, and then it was just a matter of seeing the performance of the ACE9 members.
Wang Chuyang performed unexpectedly well.
It seems that when he said on the show that he didn't want to be a singer in the future but wanted to be an actor, he was serious and he really studied hard.
But Zhang Die’s Yang Kang has a little problem.
But it's not a big problem.
Can temperament be acquired just by saying it?
Zhang Jiuquan specially hired an etiquette trainer to train Zhang Die in etiquette of speech and behavior every day.
We strive to make Zhang Die act like a nobleman.
Zhang Die now films during the day and undergoes etiquette training in his free time.
In the evening, he had to complete the monthly reading task assigned by Han Zhou, continue studying Yan Ying's courses, and learn English.
In addition to these, he also needs to memorize the lines for all the scenes on the next day.
Very busy.
However, Zhang Die has been very happy recently.
Because the three HNT brothers are reunited again.
Liu Yanzhou has great acting skills. Although he couldn't play the role of Torre, he still got an important role, which is the role of Li Sheng.
Many times, both the audience and book fans tend to forget this very important supporting role.
Li Sheng was the eighth-generation elder under Lu Youjiao, and was known as the Snake King of Jiangdong.
Logically speaking, this seems to be a high status.
In fact, Hong Qigong traveled around the world and never cared about the affairs of the Beggars' Sect. All matters were left to these people to do.
Hong Qigong had a habit of teaching someone a trick if he admired him.
This Li Sheng got a move called "Dragon Wagging Tail".
This person is a real knight in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", completely different from those knights who have nothing to do after eating.
When he first appeared, he was investigating a missing girl case, and was initially mistaken by Guo Jing and Huang Rong as a flower thief.
Later he traced the past, hoping to use himself as bait to lure out the flower thief.
However, Ouyang Ke had already realized this and set a trap instead.
Li Sheng is the only disciple of the Wuyi Sect among the middle and high-level members of the Beggars' Sect besides Lu Youjiao, so he has a lot of things to do on weekdays. His kung fu is not very strong, but with one move from the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, he is able to fight on equal terms with Ouyang Ke.
But he still failed in the end, and it was Guo Jing and Hong Qigong who came to the rescue.
Finally, Li Sheng saw the Iron Palm Gang oppressing the people and looting women, so he drew his sword to help.
At the Beggars' Sect meeting, Yang Kang designed to slander Guo Jing and Huang Rong. Li Sheng spoke up for him, but unfortunately his status was not high enough and the effect was not great.
At this time, Qiu Qianren went to the Beggar Gang to demand accountability because his disciples were beaten by them.
Yang Kang also pretended to be a mediator and acted in a weird way.
Li Sheng taught the Iron Palm Gang a lesson out of chivalry. If he apologized, it would be a denial of justice. If he did not apologize, it would bring disaster to the Beggars' Gang.
In the end, Li Sheng drew his knife and stabbed it into his own chest, preferring to die rather than surrender.
His companion Yu Zhaoxing also pulled the knife out of Li Sheng's chest, stabbed it into his own chest, and died on Li Sheng.
In fact, the two of them died not because of these things, but because of the internal strife in the Beggars' Sect.
If other elders of the Beggars' Sect speak up for justice, then Qiu Qianren is nothing.
It was also because of this incident that Hong Qigong wanted to pass the throne to Lu Youjiao, but Hong Qigong was dissatisfied with some of the Wuyi Faction's propositions, and finally compromised and passed the throne to Huang Rong.
Many years later, Huang Rong abdicated and passed the position of gang leader to Lu Youjiao.
From some perspectives, Li Sheng changed the history of the Beggars' Sect and was the only true great hero in the history of the Beggars' Sect.
Compared to him, Guo Jing before the age of thirty and Yang Guo before the age of thirty were not considered knights at all.
However, the chivalrous history of the Beggars' Sect is actually written in a very obscure way.
Qiao Feng is the ninth generation leader of the Beggars' Sect.
Hong Qigong is the 19th leader of the Beggars' Sect.
However, Hong Qigong is only a few decades younger than Qiao Feng.
Just think about it, among the ten generations of gang leaders, what happened to the other nine except You Tanzhi?
In fact, they all disappeared during the war against the Jin Dynasty.
In fact, the setting of was perfected by several masters of new martial arts.
Except for the first generation leader of the Beggars' Sect who was a historical figure, the later leaders of the Beggars' Sect were filled in by Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng and many others.
There are even two people who were completed in the story told by Shan Tianfang.
Han Zhou really wanted to sort out the history of martial arts, but it was too difficult.
Han Zhou was in the crew, and every day he listened to everyone discussing the plot of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", who was stronger and so on.
Originally, Han Zhou was not going to participate in the discussion.
But some people took out the inferences written by online bloggers and said who is strong and who is weak.
Han Zhou could only speak.
Because what Han Zhou brought out was not "Tian Long" and the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" trilogy.
What Han Zhou came up with was the Song and Ming fictional universe, which must have a unified worldview.
Although it is difficult to complete history, many attempts have almost nothing to do with the original work.
For example, there was a movie that did this, "Ashes of Time".
Although this movie is good and has some style, "Ashes of Time", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and Jin Yong's martial arts system have almost nothing to do with it.
Ashes of Time is set before The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and tells the story of Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong, Ouyang Feng and others when they were young.
From the protagonist’s pretentious tone, it feels like the world of martial arts only belongs to them.
But have you ever thought about a question?
When Hong Qigong came out to make his way in the martial arts world, Qiao Feng had just committed suicide.
If Qiao Feng commits suicide, will the world of martial arts belong to Hong Qigong?
Don’t forget that Dugu Jianmo probably rose to power after Qiao Feng’s death.
Han Zhou wanted to do this, but there were people who were more anxious than Han Zhou.
Zheng Jianjun and Yuan Baoqing, the two martial arts instructors, always discuss who is stronger whenever they have free time.
Of course, the two of them are too familiar with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and they actually follow "The Return of the Condor Heroes" online!
Of the two martial arts directors, Zheng Jianjun is good at weapons, while Yuan Baoqing is good at boxing and kicking.
After the two men started discussing, the dispute between the two martial arts gangs became a headache.
"After Wang Chongyang's death, Hong Qigong is the strongest."
"Bullshit, it's obvious that Ouyang Feng is stronger. If he hadn't been delayed in practicing the Nine Yin Manual, he would have beaten Hong Qigong."
"There is no such thing as if. If he goes crazy, he will be sealed. Hong Qigong is still stronger."
Seeing how they were arguing, Han Zhou spoke up: "Dugu Qiubai was the best fighter in the era of The Legend of the Condor Heroes."
Everyone in the crew who gathered together to discuss was dumbfounded: "Ah? Dugu Qiubai is still alive??"
Han Zhou: "Dugu Qiubai lived in the late Northern Song Dynasty and became famous in the early Southern Song Dynasty. Hong Qigong was also born in the early Southern Song Dynasty. If Hong Qigong is still alive, why can't Dugu Qiubai be alive?"
A few sentences in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" describe that Dugu Qiubai killed so many masters that there were no more masters left in the world, and then he retired. Retirement does not mean death.
After Dugu Qiubai retired, Wang Chongyang came.
So why are people like Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng in The Legend of the Condor Heroes already so old when they first appear, with a clear generation gap between them and Guo Jing and the others?
Because Hong Qigong, Ouyang Feng and others are the representatives of late bloomers.
When they were young, all those masters were dead.
The reason why they later became the Five Great Masters was entirely because they were not qualified to be killed by Dugu Qiubai.
Yuan Baoqing scratched his head: "Then Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng are the second group?"
In response to this question, Han Zhou said: "No, Duan Yu lived to be ninety-six years old."
"Wang Chongyang has been dead for seven years, but Duan Yu is still alive."
"When the story of The Legend of the Condor Heroes begins, Duan Yu is still alive."
Zheng Jianjun was puzzled: "So Hong Qigong and the others are in the third tier?"
Han Zhou smiled and said, "No, Hong Qigong said that the Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms was changed by Xu Zhu into the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and passed on to the Beggars' Sect."
"The technique that Xu Zhu practices focuses on living a long life, so even after Duan Yu died, Xu Zhu is still alive. Not to mention Duan Yu, even after Hong Qigong died, Xu Zhu is still alive."
Nine of the Beggars' Sect leaders had died in such a short period of time. How could anyone in the Beggars' Sect still know the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms? So in the book, Hong Qigong said in person that it was Xu Zhu who taught them the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
Xu Zhu practiced a technique that could help him live longer. Duan Yu died two years after the start of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but Xu Zhu was still alive at that time.
It is also mentioned in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber that there was a monk who had a drinking contest with Wang Chongyang. He was impressed by the exquisite martial arts of Wang Chongyang, so he created the Nine Yang Magic Art.
And the powerful monk who could compete with Wang Chongyang in drinking and create the Nine Yang Divine Art in the era of The Legend of the Condor Heroes could only be Xu Zhu.
However, this is the third part of the "The Return of the Condor Heroes" trilogy, and Han Zhou did not mention it.
After I finish writing these and re-organize the chronicle, it will be more obvious.
After Qiao Feng's death, Dugu Qiubai became the best in the world, unrivaled.
Duan Yu is in the second tier alone.
The combat effectiveness of Xu Zhu after his great achievement is not as good as that of Duan Yu after his great achievement, and he ranks in the third tier alone.
Wang Chongyang was alone in the fourth tier.
In other words, are Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng fighting to be the best in the world?
They are fighting to be the strongest among the inferior ones.
Yuan Baoqing also joined the discussion: "When the Jin Kingdom was rampant and the Yuan and Mongolia rose, why didn't these great masters come out? Instead, Guo Jing was left to fight against the Jin and Mongolia in Xiangyang?"
Han Zhou was even more puzzled than Yuan Baoqing: "Duan Yu abdicated as the emperor of Dali and stationed in Xiangyang to help the Song Dynasty fight against the Jin Dynasty?"
"Xuzhu's family is Xixia's prince consort. Xixia and Jin are on the same side."
Zheng Jianjun: "What about Dugu Jianmo?"
"Qiao Feng was so powerful back then, and Yang Guo in the series is also so powerful now. Dugu Jianmo must be stronger than Yang Guo, right? Qiao Feng died early, and the living Dugu Qiubai surpassed Qiao Feng in skill, so his strength should still be above Qiao Feng. If he comes out, won't he be able to beat him at will?"
Han Zhou: "Does the surname Dugu sound like someone from the Song Dynasty?"
Dugu was actually also a Liao person.
The reason is very simple. Liao inherited the system of Tang, and people with a northern surname like Dugu were Liao people from birth.
They are just the remnants of the Tang Dynasty.
Originally, the affairs of Liao had little to do with him. After Liao was gone, Jin and Song were fighting, and Song and Mongolia were fighting. Why should they care about him, a Tang remnant?
Yuan Baoqing sighed: "Even though it is like this, I still want to see that kind of demeanor."
"It's a pity that whether it's The Legend of the Condor Heroes or The Return of the Condor Heroes, these people only live in the lines and never appear in the show."
Han Zhou suddenly remembered a movie, "Forbidden City Cop".
Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng fought a decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City.
That scene made countless martial arts fans burst out laughing.
Who says that experts have to be handsome?
Maybe Dugu Jianmo is just not good-looking and is always discriminated against, so he just stands out and attacks indiscriminately.
"Let's stop the discussion here." Han Zhou: "Anyway, this is the strength table."
Zheng Jianjun: "I still think Hong Qigong is stronger, stronger than Dugu Jianmo and Duan Yu."
Han Zhou: “???”
Zheng Jianjun: "You are just a lousy writer. You know nothing about The Legend of the Condor Heroes."
Han Zhou: “…”
