At the same time, 1998 Jordan chan's Duke of Lushan was pushed to the hot search, and netizens said that it was the most classic version and would not accept refutation.
The Duke of Lushan in the 98th edition scored 8.8, exceeding the score of 8.2 in the Stephen Chow edition, ranking first in the film and television edition.
Many people can't figure it out. Why? Just because those workers who are defeated by the society but still hold their dreams and work hard, they are all Wei Xiaobao!
A good film and television work, a good actor is very important. Jordan chan and Steven Ma let Wei Xiaobao and Kangxi, written by Duke Lushan, really see something.
Some people say that Jordan chan's experience, like Wei Xiaobao's, came all the way from the bottom. Steven Ma looks like a white man and a noble. He is the best choice for a handsome emperor.
However, before they became the most classic Wei Xiaobao and Kangxi, they were not like this.
1998, when TVB was ready to shoot Duke Lushan, Jordan chan had been in TVB for 13 years. He started as a dancer and formed a band, but instead of becoming famous, he became an actor. His first step was Nine to Five, and he won the Best Supporting Actor Award. He seems to relax naturally in front of the camera.
But in fact, this is just the cleverness and hard work he must have to climb all the way from the bottom.
Jordan chan was born in Hongkong on 1967. His father is a farmer in Guangdong. He dreams of making a fortune in Hong Kong, but he can only work on construction sites. Later, he got married, had four children and had a hard life.
After the youngest brother was born, Jordan chan's father took several part-time jobs in order to improve the food for his wife who was confinement.
Jordan chan looked at his parents whose backs were bent by life, and then at his starving brother. He said, "Dad, shall we give our brother to a rich family? My brother may have a good life. "
Dad hugged Jordan chan and cried. Later, he found someone to walk the bridge, sent his youngest son out for 3000 yuan, and helped his family for a while.
When parents go out to work, they lock their children at home, and Jordan chan is responsible for taking care of their younger brothers and sisters.
He always likes to perform Michael Jackson's space dance steps for his younger brothers and sisters, smirking and somewhat handsome, which makes them applaud.
Jordan chan is very talented, but his parents have no conditions to train him. He can only grow wildly on his own!
When I was still in the first grade, one day, my father suddenly took Jordan chan to have a sumptuous morning tea. When Jordan chan wolfed down his food, his father looked at him affectionately and said, "Koharu, you are the boss, and this family will be given to you in the future."
Jordan chan knew that this was the last meal he and his father had. He stopped and gave his father a yellow bag. "Dad, here you are." "You eat, dad is not hungry."
Many years later, Jordan chan can afford any kind of morning tea, but he will never smell the flowing sandbags that his father bought him when he was 12 years old.
After his father left, Jordan chan dropped out of school to work on a construction site and lived alone with his mother. /kloc-at the age of 0/6, he left the countryside and came to the bustling Causeway Bay to make a living.
Because he is tall and handsome, and he is also a foreigner, Jordan chan became a barber's brother, and his aesthetics are very good. In the future, when filming "Young and Dangerous", he designed all kinds of hairstyles himself.
With this decades-leading hairstyle aesthetic, Jordan chan made some friends in the entertainment circle. One day, the customer mentioned that TVB wanted to recruit a dancer to accompany the big star.
Jordan chan went to sign up without saying anything, but also took out dancing skills to tease his younger brother and sister, and successfully signed the contract.
Jordan chan finally found his favorite job and worked very hard. He is always the first to arrive and the last to leave. He never showed signs of fatigue. When he meets big stars, he always greets them warmly and happily. Big stars like this spirit guy.
Alan Tam made him stand in the most conspicuous position as a dancer and recommended him to Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung. Therefore, within TVB, Jordan chan's fame slowly went out, and then he had the opportunity to form a band and participate in filming.
Steven Ma was as poor as Jordan chan, and he began to work part-time in his teens to support his family. Fortunately, he also has a good skeleton, good looks and likes singing very much.
There was no money at home to send Steven Ma to the training class, so he had to teach himself to sing the songs of big stars. Since he was a teenager, he has participated in competitions everywhere and participated in 43 competitions, but he didn't get the ranking every time. In the eyes of some people, it is ridiculous that he wants money but has no money, wants background and is unwilling to be a wage earner, but dreams of becoming a big star.
Faced with these taunts, Steven Ma made great efforts to pursue his dream. At the age of 22, he finally won the karaoke contest and signed a record with Warner.
At that time, it was 1993, and the "Four Heavenly Kings" of Hong Kong music joined hands for one year, which was in full swing.
When the company launched Steven Ma, it tried to rub the reputation of the "Four Kings", but it overturned. Steven Ma was scolded by their fans and got out of the music world directly.
The record company didn't renew his contract. Fortunately, Ceng Lizhen, an executive of TVB, extended an olive branch, and he began to play various sven elites in various dramas.
1998, TVB is preparing to shoot the Duke of Lushan, looking for an expensive and handsome actor to play the emperor. Steven Ma became the only candidate, but the media still didn't think highly of him and laughed at him for "wearing a dragon robe doesn't look like a prince", which was severely hit. However, the top management of TVB asked him to play, so he had to bite the bullet and play.
The situation in Jordan chan is different. The top management didn't put him on the cast list at all, but he thought he was Wei Xiaobao, so he took the initiative to find the producer Li Tiansheng and made some efforts.
"Boss, I'll play Wei Xiaobao."
"Hey, the elder brother of the spring, that's not funny. You are fashionable and suitable for making modern movies. The most important casting criteria for our martial arts drama is handsome! "
"Oh, I just picked one I didn't have."
"The elder brother of the spring joking again. To tell you the truth, we are going to invite Felix Wong Yat Wa to play. Look at the Dragon he shot last year. Very popular. "
"Yes, Hua Xiong is strong and upright, which is the best choice, but I understand that along the way from the bottom, he is not only strong and upright, but also has many harmless tricks. He is both good and evil, as my pheasant is. "
Li Tiansheng was very moved and promised to shoot two episodes with Jordan chan to see the effect.
Jordan chan was so happy that he immediately asked Stephen Chow, who had played Wei Xiaobao, and got four words: "Sex, ghosts, fun and infatuation". Jordan chan got the message. According to the essence of these four words, he studied the script bit by bit, and the Jordan chan version of Wei Xiaobao came alive.
At the other end, Steven Ma came to the set and faced the cynicism of the media. Except for a few new actors, all the other stars are old actors, and Steven Ma is under great pressure.
In real life, Steven Ma's mother has cancer, and he has been taking care of her. He has been in the business for many years and his career has not improved. He is a confused young man and can't see the future. On the screen, it's ridiculous that he wants to play an emperor who is a teenager and enjoys it.
Sitting in the dragon chair, Steven Ma is sometimes in a trance, and the phrase "I don't look like a dragon robe prince" from Hong Kong media will emerge from time to time. Jordan chan plays opposite him the most, and of course knows him.
"Zi Xuan, you are so expensive, you are born to play with the emperor. When we grow up, we will be your ministers and kneel down to you. "
"The elder brother of the spring, you are a superstar. You are a senior. I dare not let you kneel. "
"Nothing, we all know that you work hard, have a lot of lines, and it is classical Chinese. You dare not make mistakes. If you make a mistake, we have to kneel down again. You don't have any pressure. It's not a big deal to kneel again. "
Even under great pressure, the Steven Ma version of young Kangxi is still noble, smart and calm, and perfectly fits with Pique in Jordan chan, making the audience believe that these two people with different identities will indeed become best friends!
This is the first time I heard swearing, and Kangxi looked upright and questioned.
Wei Xiaobao said, "Little Zi Xuan, you will love swearing in the future."
"Really?" Thoughtful, a little shaken.
"Of course."
"I'm a little angry today, and I feel very uncomfortable."
"Then come on."
Steven Ma's extravagance and gentleness, coupled with Jordan chan's naughty and clever, are great for CP! In the rest of my life, the emperor will never see such extravagance and waste again. Bao Xiao will only be greasy and funny!
Besides starring Jordan chan and Steven Ma, there are many supporting roles in this play, which is also dazzling.
This is Wei Xiaobao's mother, Wei Chunhua. Look at her makeup and the way she eats melon seeds. She is a prostitute at the bottom. She was a little beautiful when she was young, but now she is old and faded. Only such a careless heroic woman can give birth to cleverness like Wei Xiaobao.
This is a Shiba Inu. You can feel recklessness and heroism through the screen. In place!
Beautiful and gentle Shuang'er is full of trust and obedience to Bao Xiao.
Su Quan, Yan Ming's domineering royal elder sister, Wei Xiaobao will certainly be fascinated.
A classic can only be born when everyone shines in his role!
The producer of TVB, Duke of Luyi, is Li Tiansheng, known as the "designated producer of Jin Yong's dramas". Jackie Lui's the legendary swordsman, Louis Koo's The Condor Heroes and Felix Wong Yat Wa's Dragon's Eight Branches were all produced by him. When the Duke of Lushan was filmed again, he was the only one.
Li Tiansheng has read all Jin Yong's works since he was a teenager. He read it over and over again, and some of it can even be recited. With such experts in charge, the 98 version of Duke of Lushan is actually the most adapted version, and the adapted part makes the story more reasonable.
At the beginning of the original work, Mao was rescued in a brothel and followed to the capital, which was seriously lacking in motivation. The Zray version of Duke of Lushan, which has been popular among netizens recently, is actually handled according to the original work. The netizen said, "So you ran away with someone else?" "So you don't want your mother?" "impossible!"
Li Tiansheng is very sensitive to this question, so he made an adaptation with the screenwriter, changing Shuang'er into Wei Xiaobao's childhood friend. Shuang'er was arrested in Beijing because of his master's banker's third wife's Ming history case. In order to save her, the officers and men mistook Mao for an accomplice, so he had to run away and came to Beijing all the way.
In the whole play, the cross-class friendship between Wei Xiaobao and Kangxi is very touching, but there is a saying that "* * * adversity is easy, wealth is difficult", and Wei Xiaobao and Kangxi are bound to have differences.
In the original book, Wei Xiaobao fled with his wife and was forced to become Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He refused and ran away with his mother. After the adaptation, he and his wives were kidnapped by the Heaven and Earth Society and fought with Kangxi in the cave. Friendship was about to fade, but Wei Xiaobao put protective armor on Kangxi at a critical moment. At this time, every audience will be moved, which is the best friendship in the world.
Of course, apart from the lofty sentiments in the overall framework, Li Tiansheng did not pretend to be empty, but used a lot of details to make the plot beautiful and vivid.
At that time, TVB was also brilliant, and any small detail could be interpreted just right by the actors, which made people laugh.
This is Shuang'er disguised as a man and came to the military camp. Wei Xiaobao asked him to go to bed. The expressions of Duo Long and two guards have exposed their psychology.
I can't help but spit when I get out of the tent.
It's really interesting to gossip about leaders. Late at night, I came to the tent and was very nervous when I thought of Wei's special hobby.
Many people say that Li Tiansheng is a genius, and we can't force every producer to reach his level. Then, when he was filming, Kuya didn't sleep for nine days. This is not a genius, but his persistence and love for TV!
While in Li Tiansheng, Jing Wong and Wei Jiahui went to make movies, which earned a lot of money at the box office, but Li Tiansheng still got a dead salary at TVB, and he was content with this poverty.
"I'm still not suitable for that kind of environment (movie). It is better to concentrate on watching TV and open your arms to think about the script. They (film practitioners) are singing at night, and it is inevitable that they will get together to discuss ideas and go to nightclubs. "
TVB thanked Li Tiansheng for his persistence and promoted him to deputy director. Li Tiansheng did it for a while and found it inappropriate. He is a creative talent, and he doesn't want to get in touch with the common things of cheating, so he asks to be demoted and return to the position of first-line producer.
"If you are not crazy, you will not become a Buddha" is perhaps the best portrayal of Li Tiansheng and his colleagues!
Such an era and such a person are worth remembering.
