Sun bought melons and was exposed behind the scenes. Conquest became a classic because the crew was poor. Do you know why?

Sun's "Liu Huaqiang" is simply amazing, especially the scene of buying watermelons in the play, which has been edited into various videos of ghosts and animals and is deeply loved by everyone. Gao, the director of Conquest, said in an interview that he was poor when filming this drama, so many places in the film looked dirty and untidy, but it was because of this that people felt real, and the role of Liu Huaqiang was deliberately portrayed as "poor", although poor, but very grounded. Because the truth of poverty makes people feel alive.

Lack of funds can only be "poor"

Because of the popularity of the video "Conquest", Director Gao was invited for an interview to talk with you about buying watermelons and shooting in the play. Even Li Guangqi, the actor who plays the owner of the melon stall in the play, interacts with everyone in the comment area. Gao said that the filming of "Conquest" was actually not smooth, and the reason why it was not smooth was because it was "poor", and the whole drama invested 4.2 million yuan. The crew was short of money because Gao's friend said he would invest before the shooting, but he stopped after the shooting. Gao was not discouraged, so he pooled his money to shoot. In order to show the fierceness and boldness of "Liu Huaqiang" and save costs, I filmed the story of riding a motorcycle to buy melons in broad daylight, which I didn't expect to be popular for so many years.

The Role and Reality of Poverty in Urban Environment

After "Conquest" was filmed, it was unanimously criticized by friends in Gao, saying that there were no big stars and the environment looked shabby. It was a hodgepodge of TV dramas and documentaries. Gao said, after all, funds are limited, so we can't afford big stars, but many places in the play are deliberately designed to be "poor". Liu Huaqiang is just a local evil force, he is not a huge gang, he is a vicious civilian, where did you get so much money, so riding a scooter is normal. Moreover, the drama describes the real situation of a city, and the real environment is like this. They are very shabby. Instead of the movie, there are many people in Wuyang when something happens, and beautiful women in luxury cars appear.

The film "Conquest" was funded by the director, so there was no money in the shooting method, and it was precisely because there was no money that the classic story of Liu Huaqiang riding a scooter to buy watermelons came into being. Because of poverty, Liu Huaqiang is integrated into the characteristic atmosphere of the whole city, which makes people look like daily life, fireworks, substitution and realism. As the saying goes, "Success is also Xiao He's failure." Gao's friends thought the play would be defeated by "poverty", but they didn't expect it to be "poverty"! I don't know what you think.
