The promotional activities of the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" crew can be described as extravagant.
Starting from "A Date with Jing Qi", CCTV's "Chinese Literature and Art" and Xiangnan Channel's "Happy Camp" all left their footprints.
The wide scope and cross-border scope make everyone stunned.
It's obviously a CCTV show, but it's actually being promoted on Beijing Channel and Shonan Channel. It's really weird.
Many people thought that the atmosphere in China's television industry had changed, and they also tried to apply for publicity to other television stations. However, they were called back on the spot, only to realize that this was not the case at all.
It can only be said that "Legend of the Condor Heroes" can have such a strong publicity, all because the production company behind it is so powerful. It is powerful enough that even the originally opposing TV stations gave the green light and tried their best to help.
For a time, Starlight Group's status and influence in the industry have reached a higher level, which can only be looked up to.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the end of the month is here, and the time for the TV series to meet the audience has finally arrived.
On this night, thousands of households turned on their TV sets for a rare occasion. All over the country, they once again experienced the grand scene of empty streets.
Ever since "Desire", I don't know how long it has been since there was a TV series that caused such a sensation among the people.
"Let me see what your boy does with The Legend of the Condor Heroes. I'm telling you, if it fails, I won't be done with you."
In the Xiao family, Xiao Guoji sat at the head of the table with his eyes fixed on the TV. From his excited appearance, it was impossible to tell that he was a big boss in the country's catering industry.
At home, the person who reads Xiao Qian's martial arts novels the most is Xiao Guoji.
This man is the most ardent fan of novels. He has prepared a set of Xiao Qian's books in his office and reads them from time to time.
Simply talking about his opinions on the contents of the book, Xiao Guoji can definitely be regarded as authoritative.
Xiao Qian's nostrils were turned upward, proud and proud.
"Oh, I can still take pictures of my own books without being blinded?"
But when he said this, he felt a little scared in his heart.
Mr. Jin in his previous life was also the original author, but the TV series versions he liked so much did not seem to be accepted by the audience. On the contrary, the adaptations that annoyed him were very popular among the audience.
You won’t make the same mistake yourself, right?
Worried, eight o'clock arrived on time.
Without any delay, as soon as the scene changed, the passionate "Iron-Blooded Heart" touched the hearts of countless viewers.
At the beginning of the song, after the characters "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: Iron-Blooded Heart", there is a green grassland.
On the edge where the grassland meets the sky, countless troops leap out of thin air, galloping on horseback, rushing towards the camera. Like an endless tide, the agitation of flying sand and rocks is astonishing.
Although the footage is based on the TVB version, the quality is completely different.
TVB is limited by funds, venues, and resources. Although the footage shows the Mongolian army, the extras are basically running on two legs.
There were only a few people on horseback, and they looked sparse, just like playing house.
Starlight used more than 6,000 People's Liberation Army officers and soldiers and 15,000 horses to film this scene. The training alone took more than two months.
At this moment of movement, under the intersection of high-altitude and horizontal cameras, the invincible Mongolian cavalry that swept across the Eurasian continent seemed to have stepped out of the historical picture again.
Watching the TV, Xiao Guoji had stopped chattering for a long time. Even Ai Milan and Li Qingjue were stunned and even forgot to eat.
Among the thousands of households at this moment, I don’t know how many people were shocked by this scene.
I just felt a passionate but panic-stricken emotion erupting, and my eyes couldn't bear to leave the screen for a moment.
"You...how many people did you use?"
After the camera finally passed, Xiao Guoji finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he felt heartache, and the sadness of having a prodigal son and a family could no longer be suppressed.
"Not all of them are human, a large part are synthesized by computer special effects."
Xiao Qian hurriedly explained.
The scene on the TV screen was indeed shocking, but it was impossible to achieve it by humans alone. So he asked Weta Digital for help to create a scene of thousands of troops and fierce blood.
Anyway, Weta Digital is busy with Lord of the Rings, so I did this as a warm-up.
The prologue of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is full of surprises that people can't bear to ignore even for a moment.
Compared with the shocking army scene, the ups and downs of "Heart of Iron" made many viewers intoxicated.
Although the duet between Li Xiaohan and Jing Qi was in Mandarin, its singing skills were no worse than the original version, and it became popular across the country almost overnight.
It is conceivable that for a long time to come, this song "Iron-Blooded Heart" will definitely become the most popular film and television song.
The nearly two-minute prologue finally ended, but no one felt impatient. On the contrary, everyone watched with gusto and couldn't stop.
Many people can't help but think that it would be great if the prologues of all TV series were so beautiful.
The plot of this version basically follows the original work.
At the beginning, it also centered on Niujia Village.
Qiu Chuji assassinated the traitor and became acquainted with Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin. Wanyan Honglie was chasing Qiu Chuji and met Bao Xiruo by chance. He was so shocked that he did not hesitate to kill and rob.
Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin rose up to resist. Guo Xiaotian was killed and Yang Tiexin disappeared.
However, compared to the 83 version, the action is much more exciting. It is no longer the kind of haha, move-by-move fighting, but a completely star-like action color.
Qiu Chuji's Quanzhen Kung Fu was brilliant, and Yang Tiexin's Yang Family marksmanship was unparalleled.
Later, the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan appeared, and Qiu Chuji and Qiu Chuji were both harmed due to misunderstanding, and they made an eighteen-year agreement.
The audience watched with excitement, completely forgetting the passage of time, and eager to know the plot behind it faster.
Obviously they have read the book, but they still can't stop.
At this time, in a dark cabin in South Korea.
Because there was no light on, the darkness was as dark as a ghost. However, a corner of light flickered, and the man in the background became even more evil.
This guy was sitting on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, only showing a pair of small, tightly slit eyes, watching TV and muttering to himself.
"Hey Xi, what should I do? What should I do? It's so embarrassing."
"Ah... Xiba, you are such a bad actor. It's all the representative's fault. It's so embarrassing."
"My reputation as Kim Jong Kook is in vain. This time it is completely over. If others see me, how can I see anyone?"
"From now on, I will never listen to my representatives and I will never act again."
The first episode of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a veritable ensemble drama. The characters appear in a fleeting manner, which is the most in the whole drama.
However, Chen Weizhou has profound skills and superb skills, and the film did not turn out to be a failure just because there were so many characters.
On the contrary, every character who appears has his own characteristics and is remembered by the audience.
Qiu Chuji, who has a fiery nature and hates evil as much as hatred, brothers Guo Yang who are determined to serve the country but unable to save themselves, Li Ping, who is ordinary in appearance but tough in heart, Bao Xiruo, who is kind-hearted, and the rebellious, heroic and benevolent Jiangnan Seven Monsters, are all amazing.
.
These images seem to have jumped out of the book and appeared vividly in front of everyone, and they are not inconsistent at all.
It seems that Qiu Chuji should be like this, as if Li Ping is like that, as if Duan Tiande is so hateful.
At the end of the first episode, Li Ping, who finally got rid of the thieves, staggered through the snowy field with her newborn child, which made countless viewers infected by the great maternal love.
When thousands of viewers shed tears, the heartfelt "One Cut Plum" was gently sung, adding to the sadness.
Many people were shocked when they saw the ending subtitles pop up.
One episode... ended like this?
One and a half hours, so fast!
Oops, I can’t do it anymore, I have to go to the toilet!
In addition to those with weak bladders, those with strong bladders have something else to be excited about.
An episode of a TV series and two top-notch songs hit their hearts.
I really don’t want to waste a moment, and I really want to know the full story of these two songs. Unfortunately, the Internet is not developed yet. Otherwise, I’m afraid there would have been a mountain of inquiry posts on Tieba, Zhihu, Tianya, and NGA, right?
Even so, CCTV also keenly captured the minds of the audience.
Shortly after this episode aired, the episode of "Chinese Literature and Art" in which the crew appeared was deliberately replayed.
In this episode, there is "Iron-blooded Heart" sung by Li Xiaohan and Jing Qi. Similarly, there is also "One Cut Plum" sung affectionately by Chen Shuai.
It's just that this program was broadcast on Channel 4 before, and the audience was limited, so it didn't have much impact.
But this time it was re-broadcast in a set, and coupled with the popularity of the TV series, it became a big hit all of a sudden.
The next day, there were people everywhere in the streets and alleys, and they were all talking about The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
Countless people were very interested and did not miss any detail in the play. It was like everyone was reading the Red Mansion.
The Legend of the Condor Heroes has become a cultural trend.
