Chapter 822 A strange combination of circumstances(1/3)

No one can do everything perfectly.

How good that sentence is, "It is not difficult for a person to do some good deeds. What is difficult is to do good deeds throughout one's life, not to do bad deeds, to consistently benefit the masses, to the youth, to the revolution, and to work hard."

It has been going on for decades, and this is the hardest and most difficult thing.”

The same goes for Ning Weimin's behavior. No matter how thoughtful he is, he can't satisfy everyone.

Why else would Lan Lan's father and brother have such a hostile view of him?

Professor Lan objected to his commercial use of the ancient building, and Lan Zheng hated him for standing together with Qiao Wanlin and blocking his own future.

Although this was not what Ning Weimin wanted, he had no choice. He was inevitably forced by the situation, and he even didn't know about some things. How helpless this was.

On May Day this year, something like this still happened.

Precisely because the opening of Tianqiao Shopping Mall was so popular, Ning Weimin, who originally wanted to take care of both, had no choice but to focus on one.

As a result, at the opening ceremony of an exhibition held in the Temple of Heaven on the same day to raise funds for the "Journey to the West" crew, it was inevitable that some people would regret his absence, or even become dissatisfied.

Who?

Not a member of the cast of "Journey to the West".

After all, people are poor and their ambitions are short, but their hair is thin and their hair is long. The whole crew is so poor that only their acting skills are left.

Who would dare to have an objection to the wealthy businessman who took the initiative to help them solve their financial problems?

But the problem is that Director Yang is a woman, and the problem lies precisely with her.

This female director, besides having the problem of not keeping her words, is also quite meddlesome.

At this opening ceremony, she invited the station leader who had appointed her as the director as a distinguished guest to support the crew.

It should be said that such an idea was entirely her impromptu personal act.

It may be a good thing if it is used in the filming of TV series, but it is not the case for the opening ceremony of a large-scale cultural event that requires a lot of preparation work.

Because it will cause great trouble to the host organizing the event.

Originally, the Temple of Heaven thought it would be enough to have a deputy director come forward to cooperate with the crew to complete the opening of the exhibition.

After all, tourists come here for the "Journey to the West" crew, and it doesn't really matter whether other people come or not.

As long as everyone can meet the main actors of the four masters and apprentices, they will be happy, which will be enough to increase the popularity and boost ticket sales.

I didn't expect that this was so good that it actually alerted the Taiwan leaders.

Not only does he have a high ranking, but he also controls the media channels.

If Tiantan Garden dares to neglect, the entire leadership team will come out to accompany you.

Not only did the director come, but there were also many people accompanying him. Even Qiao Wanlin rushed from the bureau to serve him after getting the message.

The relaxed and lively atmosphere that was originally expected for the opening ceremony was gone. The crew members all became serious and restrained, and their speeches were cautious.

Many people have tried their best to figure out how to shoot rainbow farts without being conspicuous.

So the most embarrassing thing is the Pierre Cardon side.

As the main organizer of the exhibition, they can't find a suitable person to accompany them.

Zhai Gong and Beishen Chef have nothing to do with this matter.

Only Ning Weimin's first confidant, Zhang Shihui, was still a subordinate of the head office's operations department and was temporarily promoted to take up the job.

But the problem is that Zhang Shihui doesn't know anything about the exhibition and the preparations, and Ning Weimin decided it all by himself.

When Taiwanese leaders asked relevant questions, Zhang Shihui could not tell the truth. He was even confused about details and could even make mistakes if he was not careful.

It all depends on the help of people from the Temple of Heaven, so naturally when he speaks, the atmosphere becomes very awkward.

Finally, it was revealed that the real organizer of the exhibition, Ning Weimin, was not here, but was accompanying the district leaders at Tianqiao Shopping Mall, which he could no longer hide.

It has to be said that once a person reaches a certain level, his thoughts will definitely be different from ordinary people.

There are some things that ordinary people may not care about, but people with status may not.

Although the leader of the station seemed calm and smiled generously at this time, he still looked cheerful and smiling.

Next, it’s time to take photos and visit, but there’s not much to say anymore.

Basically, during the visit, I just watched and asked. It is difficult to say that he was as happy as when he first came here, and he had no grudges at all.

But then again, Ning Weimin is very popular, and Temple of Heaven Park is his hometown.

Everyone who is accompanying the leader here, including Director Yang, is one of them who does not miss his kindness.

Although no one dared to take credit for him openly, they still spoke towards him between the lines.

What's more, this exhibition was really well run, with highlights everywhere. It would be too easy for everyone to give him a thumbs up in front of Taiwan leaders.

For example, at the entrance of Nan Shen Chu, next to the ticket gate of the exhibition, a giant background board with a photo of Sun Wukong was erected along the courtyard wall.

Not only is the theme of the exhibition "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is - The Difficulties of 1981 by the "Journey to the West" Crew" written on it in large red characters, but there is also a brief introduction to the text.

This head-starting background board made the Taiwan leaders very satisfied.

Because it not only has a strong visual impact and attracts attention, but also clearly explains the causes and consequences of the birth of the domestic "Journey to the West".

Why does the country spend huge sums of money to film this TV series?

That's because the Japanese remake of "Journey to the West" is such a waste of our classics, and it's just a joke.

If we don't produce a qualified "Journey to the West" ourselves, people around the world will think that our so-called masterpieces are only of this low level.

Therefore, filming "Journey to the West" has become an urgent mission in the contemporary literary and artistic creation world.

So why is the exhibition called this name?

This is because the crew of "Journey to the West" has had to face and overcome countless problems and difficulties since the day it was established.

Insufficient funds, backward technology, insufficient crew, and even only one camera.

If it weren't for the firm support of a certain leader of the national television station, the general audience would not have seen such a wonderful mythological drama.

But even now, the crew is still facing the dilemma of insufficient funds and may stop filming at any time.

So the purpose of this exhibition is to raise funds for the crew.

The crew hopes that the audience who like this TV series will come and buy tickets to watch it.

Not only can we have an in-depth understanding of the unknown filming inside story, but we can also provide support and contribute to our favorite "Journey to the West".

In short, such a title and introduction not only give the exhibition a legitimate necessity and demonstrate the personal achievements of Taiwan leaders, but also encourage everyone to donate generously and openly.

This aspect takes into account the interests of everyone.

Whether they are organizing exhibitions or watching exhibitions, I am afraid that no one will think that this is something that should not be done.

After entering the first exhibition hall, more than a hundred photos and picture materials on the walls are presented in the light.

There are also some physical props to reflect the actual difficulties and various dangers faced by the crew of "Journey to the West" during the filming process.

For example, in order to film the Fire Cloud Cave, the crew went to Changbai Mountain to shoot the scene.

But because they were too far away from residential areas and their budget was insufficient, they could only eat moldy bread to satisfy their hunger.

Even the packaging bags for bread are polyester bags that have been filled with fertilizers.

It can be said to be risking food poisoning to make art.

For example, during the scene where the master and the apprentice were walking through the waterfall, they almost fell to the bottom of the cliff while the crew was filming.

Poor Bai Longma was in danger several times and almost fell to pieces.

When filming the scene of Sun Wukong and Ma Wen on the grassland, the photographer was almost trampled to death under the hooves of a horse.

In order to shoot the Five Elements Mountains, the crew took a flight to Kunming, Yunnan.

But I never thought that during heavy rain, the plane was affected by turbulence and almost crashed.

Fortunately, the air force pilots were experienced and they were able to escape death.

When the crew went to Huangshan for filming, the van that came to pick them up didn't even have headlights. They relied on the driver's intuition to drive along the cliff in the middle of the night.

For another example, both Liu Xiaolingtong and Ma Dehua fell while hanging wires, and Liu Xiaolingtong even fainted after falling.

Not only is working at heights risky, but in order to be realistic, the sea of ​​​​fire in "Battle of Red Boy" was filmed in real fire by actors who risked their lives.

In addition, in order to create a fairyland dream like the floating clouds and mist of the heavenly palace, the props group uses dry ice to create gas.

At the filming site, dozens of staff were shaking dry ice bottles at the same time to create gas.

Although the wonderland shrouded in fairy mist is indeed wonderful, the staff almost died of suffocation due to poor ventilation in the environment.

To put it bluntly, the crew is definitely worthy of the vast audience.

It was precisely in order to perfect the filming of "Journey to the West" that all the crew members survived several disasters, which made this TV series widely recognized and praised.

When we visited the last part of this exhibition hall, there was another blockbuster exhibit that dispelled the doubts about the crew's wasteful spending.

That is an original shooting budget form for "Journey to the West", placed in a glass display case decorated with lights.

The date of signing is May 1982, and the paper used is the special paper of the national television station.
