1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 237 "Smiling Proudly" started airing, received mixed reviews...

March 3th, late.

Produced by CCTV, Zhang Jizhong is the producer, Huang Jianzhong is the chief director, Jiang Xiaofeng, Xu Qing, and Yang Rong starred in "Swordsman", which was officially broadcast on CCTV 8. The first broadcast hit a super high rating of 18.8% in one fell swoop The rate is enough to reflect the enthusiasm of the audience.

At the same time, the CCTV version of "Swordsman" will also be successively broadcast in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and other Asian countries.

Excluding advertising fees during the broadcast, CCTV earned a full tens of millions of yuan from the broadcast copyright of "Swordsman", and if advertising fees were included, it would be at least more than 2000 million yuan.

The broadcast of the CCTV version of "Swordsman" can be described as "beginning after a thousand calls".

In order to celebrate the broadcast of "Swordsman", the main creative staff of the crew held a celebration in Yanjing. Mr. Jin Yong was invited to come to Yanjing from Xiangjiang to participate in the celebration of the show.

The famous producer Zhang Jizhong, the chief director of "Swordsman" Huang Jianzhong, the actor Jiang Xiaofeng who played Linghu Chong, and the actor Yang Rong who played Yue Lingshan participated in the celebration broadcast.
After a few months of filming, when the crew members met again, they felt a sense of intimacy, and many of them hugged each other affectionately and congratulated each other.

Especially the arrival of Mr. Jin Yong made everyone very excited.

Zhang Jizhong said passionately at the celebration broadcast: "Our film has gone through ups and downs, and it has condensed countless efforts of everyone present. When it is officially broadcast, like everyone, I am also very excited."

"Mr. Jin Yong has visited our crew three times. The first time was when the filming started, and the second time was when the shooting was closed. This time he made a special trip to participate in the celebration broadcast. Thank you very much."

"At the beginning, Mr. Jin Yong sold the copyright of "Swordsman" to us for one yuan. This one yuan was placed on Mr. Jin Yong's expectations for us. Now it seems that our efforts have not disappointed him, let alone the audience!"

Later, at the ceremony to celebrate the broadcast, the main creators of the crew and Mr. Jin Yong watched the CD-ROM version of "Swordsman" just published.

While watching his performance, Jiang Xiaofeng imitated his own movements in the play, and discussed with Yuan Bin, a Hong Kong martial arts designer beside him;

Yang Rong, who played the younger sister Yue Lingshan, watched her performance attentively, making rich expressions from time to time following the ups and downs of her own fate in the film.

Producer Zhang Jizhong and director Huang Jianzhong couldn't help but smile when they saw that the result of their one-year hard work was well received by the audience.

At the scene of the celebration broadcast, Jin Yong also gave a very high evaluation of the shooting standard of the CCTV version of "Swordsman".

You should know that there are already several film and television works adapted from Jin Yong's famous martial arts novel "Swordsman": Among them, there are TV series in Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan, as well as movies.

Jin Yong said solemnly: "Among all the versions of "Swordsman", the CCTV version is the best and the most successful! The CCTV version of "Swordsman" is also the closest to the original work."

And Jin Yong's words also attracted bursts of applause and cheers from the big guys.

In the past, Jin Yong's works were all filmed by Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers, this is the first time he has cooperated with mainland producers.

Therefore, the reporter asked Jin Yong what the similarities and differences were when cooperating with mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television workers. Jin Yong said: "I am very happy to cooperate with CCTV. The biggest feeling they give me is strict discipline. I have also worked as a film and television director. I know how difficult it is to direct a crew and create a work together."

"Let me tell you an example. I went to the crew during filming. Generally, crew members like to play cards during their breaks. However, the crew of CCTV's "Swordsman" did not play cards. Such a huge crew with such strict discipline is really rare. !"

However, in Jiang Xiaofeng's view, the reason why Mr. Jin Yong has such a high evaluation of the movie "Swordsman" is that, apart from the fact that the movie itself is well shot, the main reason is that Zhang Jizhong showed him without any experience. edited content,
If Jin Yong knew that the CCTV version of "Swordsman" had many adaptations, Jin Yong would definitely follow and criticize it.

Zhang Jizhong is also a chicken thief, because he is afraid of being criticized by Jin Yong, he has never dared to use the content that has not been adapted...

After the celebration broadcast, Zhang Jizhong, Huang Jianzhong, Jiang Xiaofeng, Xu Qing, Yang Rong and others accompanied Jin Yong to a five-star hotel for dinner.

It is worth mentioning that Jiang Xiaofeng has always admired Jin Yong very much, and he also likes the martial arts world depicted in Jin Yong's novels very much. When he was a child, he also practiced Liumai Excalibur, Lingboweibu, and Yiyang because of watching "Tianlong Babu". Fingers, Dou Zhuan Xing Yi, Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms and other martial arts masterpieces.

After watching "The Legend of Condor Heroes", Jiang Xiaofeng has also specially practiced martial arts masterpieces such as snapping fingers, toad kung fu, ecstasy palm, left and right fighting...

All in all, like many post-70s and post-80s generations, Jin Yong had a great influence on Jiang Xiaofeng, especially Jiang Xiaofeng in his youth.

Jiang Xiaofeng thought that it was rare to meet Mr. Jin Yong again this time, so he wanted to toast him face to face to show his respect.

Just when Jiang Xiaofeng stood up with his wine glass and was about to toast Jin Yong, he was stopped by Jin Yong's wife and said, "Director Jiang, I'm really sorry, he can't drink."

Jiang Xiaofeng also felt sorry after hearing this, but Jin Yong stood up and said to his wife: "I have a drink with my Linghu Shaoxia, what's wrong?"

Although Jin Yong is only a writer of novels and doesn't know much about martial arts TV dramas, Jiang Xiaofeng was immediately flattered to be recognized by Mr. Jin Yong, which is undoubtedly an encouragement to him.

The two drank the wine in the glass in front of the big guy.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that although the ratings of "Swordsman" were excellent, the "reaction" was not good.

"Swordsman" was greeted with endless criticism.

At this time, the Internet was in the ascendant in China, and the CCTV version of "Swordsman" became the first batch of film and television works that were widely criticized by netizens.

This version has received bad reviews, mainly because it is so different from the TVB version.

Preconceived impressions are often difficult to change.

In the 80s and 90s, Xiangjiang film and television dramas have formed a very unique and mature martial arts style.

The audience around 2000 basically grew up watching Xiangjiang martial arts movies and TV series, and they are naturally accustomed to this system.

The CCTV version of "Swordsman" tried not to imitate the style of its predecessors, but its target was definitely not TVB.

Although those are classic enough and highly ornamental.

But due to the limitations of production, I have to admit that it is a bit petty.

For example, the scenery of rockery and fake water, the unrefined service, the assembly line shooting...

In order to express their criticism of the CCTV version of "Swordsman", netizens also published articles such as "Three Big Failures" and "Eight Big Laughing Stocks".

Its poor reputation is no less than those later water-filled bad dramas.

However, in the CCTV version of "Swordsman", it was not Jiang Xiaofeng who was criticized the most, but Xu Qing's Ren Yingying.

Of course, it's not all bad reviews. Although Linghu Chong, played by Jiang Xiaofeng, has received criticism, he still has a lot of good reviews...

Not to mention better than Lu Songxian, Jiang Xiaofeng's Linghu Chong is definitely 100 times better than Ren Xianqi's version of Linghu Chong. No comparison.

Although compared with the original book, Jiang Xiaofeng's role as Linghu Chong is not a perfect fit, but Jiang Xiaofeng's performance is definitely not bad.

Linghu Chong played by Jiang Xiaofeng, in terms of appearance, has bamboo hats, commoner clothes, long swords, and long fluttering hair.

In terms of character, he is bright and bold, narrowly defined and affectionate, and even has a sense of youth.

When asked by a reporter how he felt about the bad reviews of the CCTV version of "Swordsman", Jiang Xiaofeng was not only not angry, but smiled and said calmly: "I think our filming is very good, and time will tell us sooner or later." We answer."

Reporter: "Hello Director Jiang, many people say that Ren Yingying played by Xu Qing is too old, a half-aged mistress, not young enough, what do you think?"

ps. Ren Yingying in the Xuqing version of the last egg chapter.
