China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

In the original novel of "Battle Through the Heavens", from the three-year agreement to Xiao Yan's attack on the Yunlan Sect, it took more than 300 chapters and more than one million words. Such a plot volume is obviously more suitable for TV dramas.

If you want to make a movie, you have to learn from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Demon Sect Leader", which greatly cuts various side plots and compresses and merges the main plot.

Therefore, in this movie, Medusa has a very important role. And the actor who plays Medusa is the new actor Zhang Tianai.

Zhang Tianai's career began in 2006, and she first served as a light stand-in for Gong Li in "Curse of the Golden Flower".

A light stand-in refers to a stand-in during lighting. Through the light stand-in, the lighting technician can adjust the lighting in advance, so that the speed of shooting can be accelerated when the actors are officially filming.

In the following years, Zhang Tianai either worked behind the scenes or played some small supporting roles, and her career did not improve.

Until she was recommended to join the crew of "Battle Through the Heavens" and auditioned for the role of Medusa.

To be honest, she didn't dare to think that she could get this role.

As a result, she signed with iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures to play Queen Medusa.

After the crew finished filming, she was sent by the company to play supporting roles in various crews. Because there was no hit work released, she was still not famous at the moment. She also sat relatively far back in the guest seats.

However, when she played Queen Medusa, many people couldn't help but look back. It was really the beauty and domineering Medusa on the big screen that left a deep impression on people.

"Where did Director Jiang find this beauty!" Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but mutter.

Feng Xiaogang on the side said: "He doesn't want to find many girls. How many girls are looking forward to acting in his movies and becoming famous overnight!"

There is nothing wrong with this statement, because Jiang Heng has made too many beauties famous in so many years of filming, and many of them have no acting experience and are from auditions.

As a result, many girls who are self-reliant on their beauty dream of participating in Jiang Heng's new film auditions one day and becoming famous overnight.

It can be said that Jiang Heng announced that he would suspend filming in 2012, and these girls who dreamed of becoming stars were definitely the saddest.

And the audience sitting at the back of the venue were mostly bright-eyed and surprised.

"This Queen Medusa is so beautiful!"

"She has a great figure!"

"Director Jiang is great, he has discovered another beauty for the entertainment industry!"

"Reba is actually very suitable, why not let her play the role!"

"I think Yang Mi is good!"

Among the audience, there were many fans of female stars, some hoped that their idols could play the role, while others thought that newcomers would be better.

Not long after, the audience became excited again because the elegant and quiet Yun Yun appeared.

The actress who played Yun Yun here was Gao Yuanyuan, who had a solid foundation in fighting scenes, and her appearance and temperament were also very suitable for this role.

So Jiang Heng didn't think much about it at the beginning and decided on Gao Yuanyuan.

After all, Xiao Xun'er used newcomers, and Medusa used newcomers, so when it comes to Yun Yun, he has to use someone with a bigger reputation!

Gao Yuanyuan is the heroine of the special effects blockbuster "Pacific Rim" and a first-line star.

Although it is a bit embarrassing to play a supporting role in "Battle Through the Heavens", it depends on whose film it is.

Anyway, Gao Yuanyuan was not emotional and completed all the filming work very seriously.

The effect of the film is naturally excellent.

Gao Yuanyuan is very beautiful, and Jiang Heng used special effects to fine-tune it, so that some viewers think that Yun Yun seems to be the most beautiful.

But more viewers think that Xiao Xun'er, Nalan Yanran, Medusa and Yun Yun in the film are all stunning beauties. This Xiao Yan is really lucky!

Of course, what makes the audience envious is that he keeps pretending to be awesome and slapping his face in the film, and the fighting scenes are even more handsome.

In Yunlan Sect, Xiao Yan turned his fighting spirit into armor, which is quite similar to the heroic posture of Sun Wukong in "The Return of the Great Sage" who turned the lava stone into armor and the flames into a cloak. He is so handsome.

The action scenes still continue the style of Jiang Heng's previous works, flowing smoothly, swift and fierce, more than a hundred times stronger than those soft slow-motion scenes.

It is also because the money in the entertainment industry is too easy to make that there are so many rubbish action scenes. To be honest, it is not as good as the martial arts special effects short films shot by some video bloggers on Douyin later.

In terms of special effects production, Jiang Heng still has the full effect, which is even more outstanding than the effect of Sun Wukong fighting Red Boy in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

To be honest, the plot of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is indeed lame, but the special effects are really great.

Especially the part where Red Boy spits fire, the color is really too gorgeous and bright.

In comparison, Sun Wukong's battle with Jiugong Zhenren at the end of the film seems a bit inferior, making people feel that they have spent too much money and have no money left.

On the big screen, Xiao Yan defeated Nalan Yanran who used "Sunset Shining" with "Buddha's Wrath Lotus", and the audience was fascinated.

Some people who are not familiar with the original novel thought that the movie ended here.

However, the plot was intertwined. Xiao Yan's killing of Yunlan Sect's outer sect deacon Mo Cheng was exposed, and the great elder Yun Leng took action.

The fighting scene was naturally more exciting, but Xiao Yan, who was quite arrogant just now, became the one being beaten.

Just when he was in danger, the seven-colored swallowing sky python woke up.

The little snake that slipped out of Xiao Yan's sleeve turned into a huge monster about 30 meters long in the blink of an eye.

Not only did it look flexible and lifelike, but there were also close-ups of its scales and eyes, as if such a giant beast really existed.

"Wow, this python looks so good!"

"It looks more domineering than a dragon!"

"Yun Leng is in trouble now, haha!"

"Tudou still writes the best plot. He is a professional in pretending to be awesome and then getting slapped in the face!"

After defeating Yun Leng, he introduced Yun Lan Zong's new leader Dou Zong Yun Shan. Xiao Yan finally escaped with the help of Hai Bodong and Queen Medusa.

It can be said that the last few fighting scenes were super shocking and gorgeous, as if the special effects were free of charge, giving people the feeling that the funds were burning.

As a result, many people were still in shock after the film ended.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, warm applause broke out in the venue.

"Compared with this, the special effects of "Di Renjie" are a bit worse!" Wang Zhonglei rarely said modestly.

Feng Xiaogang said: "There is no comparison. How much investment did they make? How much money did you invest in that? If you dare to invest so much, the result will not be too bad!"

Wang Zhonglei smiled awkwardly when he heard this. Not to mention that the company could not come up with so much money, even if it really had it, it would not do that. If it lost money, it would be completely over!

Jiang Heng dared to invest huge sums of money in filming, because he already had a fan base in the overseas market, so he would not lose money no matter what he did.

If anyone in the domestic market dares to follow Jiang Heng’s example, the outcome will most likely be miserable.

On the stage, the beautiful host walked up and invited Jiang Heng to the stage again to talk about his feelings about the film.

Jiang Heng started by talking about expanding the influence of Chinese culture and continued to talk about “online literature going overseas”. Due to time constraints, he only spoke for more than ten minutes.

He also called all the main creative staff to the stage and answered a few questions before the end. (End of this chapter)
