China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

The reason why it has created such a popularity is that the film has a lot of gimmicks and traffic, and secondly, iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures are willing to spend money on publicity and promotion.

The combination of these two factors has created an invincible momentum of "sweeping" the schedule.

On Saturday, July 6, the invited film creators and guests gathered at the Olympic Sports Center, and one by one got out of luxury cars and dressed up to attend.

After stepping onto the red carpet, he waved to the reporters and audience on one side.

He signed in front of the huge film poster as a souvenir, and then accepted an interview with the beautiful host of CCTV Movie Channel.

"Mr. Yu Rongguang, please come over here. Can I interview you briefly?"

"Of course!"

Tall and dressed in a suit, Yu Rongguang strode to the red carpet in the center of the huge poster.

The beautiful host said to the reporters: "We know that Mr. Yu Rongguang is an old friend of Director Jiang Heng. They have worked together many times. For example, he played Taoist Cangsong in "Zhu Xian", swordsman Xiahou in "A Chinese Ghost Story", and the father of the male protagonist Xiao Zhan in "Fighting in the Sky".

I think everyone must be very curious, are you playing a decent character or a villain in this movie!"

Yu Rongguang said as a matter of course: "I have thick eyebrows and big eyes, of course I play a decent character!"

The reporters and audience outside the fence burst into laughter. Yu Rongguang looks domineering and played villains in his early years.

In "The Dragon King", the sentence "Only a few hundred yuan a month, why are you fighting for your life" is still ridiculed by netizens.

His appearance and fighting scenes in the film are even more domineering. Classic villains such as Zou Zhaolong and Lu Huiguang are also his younger brothers in this movie.

It is precisely because he is suitable for playing some domineering roles that Jiang Heng has repeatedly cooperated with him. In "New Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", Yu Rongguang plays Song Yuanqiao, the leader of the Seven Heroes of Wudang.

However, when promoting, there is always a suspense. When the beautiful host asked about the specific role he played.

Yu Rongguang pretended to be mysterious and said: "One of the best masters in the film!"

The reporters and the audience present couldn't help but guess whether he played one of the Seven Heroes of Wudang or a master of the Mingjiao Dharma King level.

Not long after Yu Rongguang entered the main venue, Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu brothers came together. The beautiful reporter smiled and said: "Hello, Director Jiang Wen and Teacher Jiang Wu, I heard that Director Jiang Heng invited you two to play the two elders of Huashan. Is it true?"

The reporters and audience outside the railings laughed when they heard this.

The "two elders of Huashan" in "The Demon Cult Leader of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" are described as "vulgar", which is a bit of a waste of that word!

Jiang Wen said without any concern: "I was invited!"

"Then how did you answer at the time?"

Jiang Wen laughed, "I think with my looks, it's no problem to play Yang Xiao! If you really want us brothers to play the two elders of Huashan, it's not impossible. As long as Director Jiang Heng is willing to play a cameo role in my movie, I will agree!"

The beautiful host was stunned when she heard this, because the rumors she heard didn't have any follow-up!

"So, is it because Director Jiang Heng didn't agree that this thing didn't happen?"

Jiang Wen nodded, "He still has an idol burden. In fact, we brothers are ready to go all out to perform!"

The host smacked his lips, "That's a pity!"

Jiang Wu said in a muffled voice: "In fact, I am looking forward to working with Director Jiang Heng, what a pity!"

"Haha!"

The beautiful host couldn't help but smiled and said: "I believe there will be opportunities in the future, so please move to the main venue!"

There are too many creators and guests, so not everyone has a red carpet interview.

Basically, they are famous, big names, or have a certain degree of topicality.

Most of them took photos under the giant poster and then entered the main venue.

Even so, the red carpet show lasted for more than an hour. The audience was excited and thought that the tickets for the premiere ceremony were worth it to see so many stars at one time!

"The scene is too big, and the film festival is just like this!"

"Come on, there are many film festivals in China, but there are not as many first-line stars as this one!"

"Indeed, the awards ceremony of film festivals and TV festivals nowadays is really too watered down, and anyone can go!"

After the red carpet show, the premiere ceremony started soon. After two simple programs, it immediately entered the film viewing session.

The lights in the main venue went out and the big screen lit up. After the opening animation of Longbiao and iYouTeng Pictures, the film officially began.

Because it was directed by Wang Jing, the opening is very similar to "The Demon Cult Master", both of which use simple scenes and voiceovers to introduce the plot before the story of this film.

So even though there are hundreds of well-known action actors, many of them only appear in the opening credits. Such as Stephen Chow and Cheng Long.

After the classic scenes, the title finally appeared on the big screen - "The Return of the King".

It's not that the publicity team changed the name temporarily, but that the name was used when the film was filed. It's just that "New Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" was used as a substitute for it when it was promoted to the media.

Even the huge poster of the red carpet show only had eight big characters written on it: "The King Returns, Who Can Compete with Him?"

It not only symbolizes Zhang Wuji in the film, but also foreshadows Jiang Heng in reality.

On the big screen, in the Butterfly Valley.

On the night of the full moon on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, Zhang Wuji, played by Jiang Heng, gathered the members of the Mingjiao to discuss the matter of raising an army against the Yuan Dynasty.

There are Yang Xiao, the Left Envoy of the Ming Cult, White-browed Eagle King, Green-winged Bat King, Five Scattered People, the Five Elements Flag Masters and various followers.

On the high platform, Zhang Wuji, played by Jiang Heng, read out the strategy of dividing troops:

Leader Zhang Wuji led the Left Envoy Yang Xiao and Green-winged Bat King Wei Yixiao to take charge of the main altar and command the troops of the Ming Cult.

White-browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng led the followers under the Sky Eagle Banner to start an uprising in Jiangnan.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Tang He, Deng Yu, together with the people in Chang Yuchun’s camp, and Sun Deya and others started an uprising in Haozhou, Huaibei.

Budai Monk Shuo Bude led Han Shantong, Liu Futong, Du Zundao and others to start an uprising in Yingchuan, Henan.

Peng Yingyu led Xu Shouhui, Zou Puwang and others to start an uprising in Gan, Rao, Yuan and Xin states.

All of the above characters were also played by action actors, but they just clasped their fists and bowed, and took the order and left.

Many viewers were shocked, "Fuck, is this the so-called all-action guest star? This should be a literary drama!"

The movie company bosses who were present, such as Wang Zhonglei and Wang Changtian, complained in their hearts, this is too cunning, it is called "all-action guest star", you should at least let them fight!

Han Sanping also had this doubt, but he could directly ask Jiang Heng beside him, "They won't show up and never appear again, right?"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Of course not, there will be (their) parts later, but not so many!"

"Oh, this is more like it!"

At this time, the Mingjiao people on the big screen sang in unison, "Burn my broken body, the blazing holy fire, what joy is there in life? What pain is there in death? To do good and eliminate evil, only light. Joy, sorrow, and sorrow, all return to dust. Pity me, the world, there are so many worries! Pity me, the world, there are so many worries!"

These people were all dressed in white, singing in unison in front of the blazing bonfire under the bright moonlight.

The camera swept across the faces of these people one by one, leaving the audience with a very shocking and deep impression.

On the high platform, Jiang Heng, who plays Zhang Wuji, is dressed in a brocade robe and stands with his hands behind his back, but his aura is stronger than that of Jet Li's version.

Because the previous work was directed by Wang Jing, Jiang Heng's version of Zhang Wuji not only highlights his high martial arts skills, but also his heroic character.

Although it was a calm shot, it made the audience excited.

"Hey, why do I feel that Director Jiang is becoming more and more domineering?"

"He has achieved success and fame. His company is so powerful and he makes so much money every year. He must be more and more majestic!"

"The sense of youth is gone!"

"He is a domineering president!"

On the big screen, Zhang Wuji led Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao and Xiao Zhao, and the four of them galloped on the official road and headed straight for Dadu.

The actor who plays Yang Xiao here is Jiao Yujun. The reason for using him is also very simple, just one word, handsome!

Yang Xiao, a handsome guy who is clearly described in the book, must not be used if he is average in appearance.

In fact, Jiang Heng had thought of asking Zheng Shaoqiu to play the role, but he was born in 1947 and is now over 60, so he had to give up.

As for the role of the Green-winged Bat King, it was Xiang Zuo.

First, there were copyright issues, and second, the Xiang couple asked for it, and the request was not excessive, so Jiang Heng agreed.

And the role of Xiao Zhao was played by Zhao Liying.

First, the image was suitable, and second, Jing Tian strongly recommended it, so Jiang Heng did not consider anyone else.

When the four rushed to Dadu, Zhao Min, played by Jing Tian, ​​was thinking about secretly learning martial arts from various sects.

When facing the masters of the six major sects who were under house arrest, she was full of aura, but when she returned to her boudoir, she couldn't help but think of the several scenes of contact with Zhang Wuji.

The classic scenes in "The Demon Cult Master" such as "Zhao Min Turns Back", "Fighting in Green Willow Manor", and "Flying Away from Wudang" were reproduced on the big screen again.

Although the scene was reproduced one-to-one, the actors became Jiang Heng and Jing Tian. The audience couldn't help but compare the performances of the two versions!

"Da Tiantian's Zhao Min is more beautiful and more heroic!"

"She is really white!"

"I think Zhang Min played it better!"

"Come on, you are just prejudiced, I still think Li Zi played it better!"

"Director Jiang's Zhang Wuji is really much more domineering than Jet Li's version!"

"Director Jiang is taller!"

"It feels like Qiao Feng's figure and demeanor, and Duan Yu's appearance and temperament!"

While the audience was discussing, Zhang Wuji and his four companions had arrived at the outskirts of Dadu.

Because the investment in this version is very large, whether it is the costumes and props of the film or the crowd actors, the performance is very good.

The most intuitive point is that after approaching Dadu, Zhang Wuji and his companions encountered several teams of cavalry from the Yuan Dynasty one after another.

These people rode on horses, whistling past, and looked quite sophisticated.

Ordinary people can only avoid them from a distance.

Zhang Wuji and others did not want to cause trouble, so they did the same thing.

So before entering the city, Yang Xiao couldn't help but say: "Although the Yuan Dynasty is corrupt, their soldiers are still very good. This is a dangerous place!"

Zhang Wuji said: "The uncles and uncles of Wudang have raised me, and they must be saved!"

Yang Xiao said: "I know this, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I am willing to help the leader rescue several heroes of Wudang. But for the other five major sects, if it is too difficult, you might as well do it according to your ability!"

Xiang said to the Green Winged Bat King played by Xiang: "The five major sects forced Zhang Wuxia and the Eagle King's girl to death, and they have a blood feud with the leader. Why put yourself in danger for these people?"

In Zhang Wuji's mind, the scene of Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu being forced to death by the five major sects instantly emerged.

Of course, the color of the screen is gray and white, and all the actors are re-selected, and another group of guest actors complete the role tasks.

Zhang Wuji said in his heart: "Every one of the five major sects is stained with my father's blood, and it is not a pity for them to die, but at this moment of anti-Yuan, every bit of strength is precious!"

Zhang Wuji said the second half of his thoughts, and Yang Xiao and the Green Winged Bat King could only say yes, expressing their willingness to go through fire and water for the future of the Ming Cult and the anti-Yuan plan.

After entering the city and staying in the inn, Zhang Wuji said that Zhu Yuanzhang had reported to him that he and Xu Da and others found that the masters of the six major sects were imprisoned in Wan'an Temple.

In this version, Liao Fan played Zhu Yuanzhang. As soon as he appeared, Jiang Wen's eyes lit up instantly.

"Hey, this actor is well chosen!"

Jiang Wu on the side didn't understand why, and didn't think Liao Fan was anything special. Isn't he just a very ordinary look?

Not handsome, but definitely not ugly!

"Don't you think his profile looks like someone?"

"Who is it?"

"Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Ah, is that portrait real?"

"Let's not worry about whether it's real or not, just tell me if it looks like him?"

"It does!"

Jiang Wen's eyes became brighter and brighter. He remembered that his friend had recommended him a novel called "Hidden Heroes", in which there was a Zhu Qianlong...

On the big screen, the plot progressed quickly, and the general direction was not much different from the original, but the rhythm was very brisk.

The fighting style was also the swift and fierce style that Jiang Heng's works have always continued, and the audience was very addicted.

At a time when slow motion, blowers, and circles are becoming more and more rampant, it has been a long time since I have seen a martial arts movie with such exciting fighting scenes.

"Oh my god, Director Jiang's moves are so cool!"

"He really surpasses Jet Li!"

"He is so tall, but his fighting scenes are not stiff at all!"

"It's so enjoyable, so enjoyable!"

In this play, He Rundong plays Fan Yao. He is tall and has been playing tough guys in various fighting scenes for many years, such as Lu Bu in "The New Three Kingdoms" and Xiang Yu in "Legend of Chu and Han".

Coupled with the scars on the character's face, he doesn't look like a martial arts master, but a battlefield warrior.

When fighting with Zhang Wuji, he didn't fight with bare hands, but used a long spear first.

It should be known that the spear is the king of all weapons. In action movies, it is really cool to use a long spear well!

After Fan Yao played with the long spear for a while, he was no match for Zhang Wuji, so he abandoned the spear and used a knife and started fighting again.

As a result, this segment became a pure show of skills, just to show the excitement and coolness of the action scene.

When Fan Yao finally used the sword, some viewers couldn't help but say, "He should have used a Fang Tian Hua Ji, and Zhang Wuji would fight against Lu Bu!" (End of this chapter)
