The three characters, the chartered parents-in-law and the Fire Cloud Evil God, can be regarded as the showdown between the real masters at this point in the film.
Liu Qingshan did not completely abandon the previous conventional routine, but made the heroic couple be beaten even more miserably.
This resulted in the difficult mid-air rotation of the two people after they were continuously knocked into the air. There were similar scenes in the previous version, but those were all specially processed after wire suspension, and the artificial traces were obvious.
Liu Qingshan replaced the movements that should have used stunts with real body movements. The difficulty was beyond what the actors could do personally.
So he decisively took on almost all the difficult movements, with or without the assistance of wirea, and the post-editing effects were clearly visible to ordinary people.
Now, under his operation, all the pictures have turned into truly lifelike effects, which is something that is difficult to achieve with any special effects.
The reason for doing this is also to make up for the extensive use of stunts and special effects before, so that the criticism and criticism of the possible warrior audiences can be turned into praise.
After this paragraph, the Tathagata Palm that became so popular actually has its origin. It is a trick that often appears in classic Cantonese films that have been popular for decades.
Regarding the filming of this section, Liu Qingshan did not make much changes, because the original version had already perfected it, as well as the description of the male and female protagonists meeting at the door of the candy store and smiling knowingly, as if they were back in the past, returning to childhood. .
The most wonderful move the original version made in the structure of the film is the ending, which is more in line with the Buddhist meaning of Tathagata's Palm: Good and evil are cause and effect for each other, and they are one with each other.
Moreover, this ending entrusts Zhou Xingchi with his thoughts and feelings that movies are like dreams and life is like dreams. Liu Qingshan could not bear to have Xing Ye unable to complete the movie complex that only belongs to him due to his own intervention.
The film ends here, and the sensational effect it caused is inevitable.
The standing ovation from the audience was just a sideshow. Countless people shouted the names of Liu Qingshan and Zhou Xingchi at the top of their lungs, which was the most profound recognition of the film.
Including those foreigners who were not familiar with Xiangjiang martial arts dramas and old kung fu movies before, without exception, they stood up and expressed their surprise with excited expressions.
This situation may be a bit accustomed to Zhou Xingchi, but for Liu Qingshan, a newcomer in the entertainment industry, it has a very special meaning.
Not only does he understand in his heart, but probably everyone around the world will immediately think of his identity as an actor after watching this film. This is the most important thing.
And it was because of him that production units like Hollywood realized that special effects in film production could still be used in this way.
In turn, Snowland Studio was taken seriously, and the relevant Hollywood technical personnel also developed a sense of urgency in scientific research and development.
For Liu Qingshan, he does not want the technology company under his name to flourish alone, because only a good competitive environment can promote the development of this industry.
Moreover, Xueyu Studio is currently only a leader in a certain technology, and its relatively weak technical foundation also requires in-depth cooperation to quickly and comprehensively improve.
The enthusiasm of the audience lasted for ten minutes before it slowed down a bit when the main creative team members of the production team walked on the stage.
The interview session with reporters after the premiere was mandatory. Liu Qingshan humbly gave up the middle position and instead invited veteran actors such as Yuan Hua, Yuan Qiu, and Liang Xiaolong to accompany Zhou Xingchi.
He stood far away at the end of the team, and at the same time gave the right to speak to director Xing Ye.
More than a hundred reporters were very enthusiastic and even argued with each other to get a higher position.
In the end, it was the guests sitting in the first two rows who took the initiative to swap places, so that the solution could be solved as soon as possible.
According to prior arrangements, the guests, especially the big names from abroad, had to leave early. There was a huge restaurant outside the Grand Guangming Cinema, where a sumptuous dinner was prepared for them.
Unexpectedly, without anyone's suggestion, no one left. They all stayed with great interest, obviously hoping to gain a deeper understanding of the plot points in the film that they did not understand.
According to industry practice, the first few questions are arranged in advance, and subsequent random interviews by reporters are open to the public.
The first reporter was from National Television, and the protagonist responsible for answering was of course Zhou Xingchi.
"Compared with those special effects productions, the first thing that aroused my enthusiasm for directing was Mr. Liu's script. The design and plot in it are very exquisite. No line is superfluous, no action does not have profound meaning, and no picture does not echo from multiple parties. ..."
Perhaps even the reporter did not expect that Zhou Xingchi's speech deviated from the previous content design from the beginning and directly pulled Liu Qingshan out. He was generous with all kinds of praises and even praised him until his mouth was dry and he would not stop. momentum.
Fortunately, Yuanhua, who is well-informed, quickly brought the topic back: "Mr. Liu's excellence is obvious to all, but talking too much will inevitably lead to some similarities. Xingzai, you should introduce more about your directing philosophy and Experience!"
Only then did Zhou Xingchi realize that he had gone astray, "For me, this film brings me farewell and redemption from the previous nonsensical style, because it is the first time I have made such a profound Kung Fu movie! The deep values of Eastern martial arts are expressed using a Hollywood movie technology to express a core that is different from Hollywood. In other words, this movie basically uses comedy techniques to naturally combine Taoism, Confucianism, and Chinese culture. Buddhist ideas, coupled with the strange wisdom of the upper class..."
The first half of the interview focused on explaining Eastern culture and Chinese martial arts, which were also the topics of greatest concern to the foreigners present.
While dealing with reporters, Zhou Xingchi also had to answer questions from Martin, Ethan Coen and others.
The large number of language descriptions is a huge problem for a Xiangjiang native who is not very native in Mandarin.
As a result, Zhou Xingchi, who felt a headache, frequently switched language methods back and forth in the following time. Sometimes, because of his haste, he confused the target person, causing bursts of hilarious scenes.
Originally, it was hard not to laugh when you spoke Cantonese to a foreigner and spoke full English to a mainland reporter.
The key is that Zhou Xingchi, who was sweating profusely, actually didn't notice such a simple mistake for a long time, and still talked about it with saliva flying around.
This unexpected comedic effect was something no one expected. He originally started out as a comedy actor, and the questioner was happy to appreciate his funny scenes, so no one was kind enough to remind him.
Even the actors around him also realized this. They all held the same thought and held back their laughter, as if they didn't know.
Fortunately, the nearly 2,000 viewers did not worry about not understanding, because this press conference was also broadcast live. If you didn't understand it afterwards, you could still understand it through the edited subtitles when you go home and watch the replay.
Therefore, without any objections from the audience, Zhou Xingchi's dancing will continue, and the laughter will continue to happen.
In the second half of the free interview time, it was reasonable for Liu Qingshan to be asked more questions, and most of the focus of people's questions was on the opening dance.
Liu Qingshan's answers often looked at him and he hesitated to give a final answer.
But his ability to control the scene is notoriously strong, and he can always control the atmosphere of the scene to be filled with laughter and laughter, and the audience did not feel that he was perfunctory.
The trend of the last question naturally led him into speculation about magic, and his noncommittal expression seemed to acquiesce in this matter.
So after the press conference, he got a crazy comment from Taylor, because the little girl herself was one of the people who asked questions.
Fortunately, the professional dance team that had been arranged in advance arrived, and Taylor's intense curiosity came to an end.
This dance troupe was invited by Liu Qingshan through connections. The purpose was to let these girls cooperate with the mask dance troupe and go to Xiangjiang to complete a performance.
The specific dance design came from him. According to his design concept, the masquerade troupe was of uneven heights and mostly male, which was not suitable for the effect he had in mind.
But Liu Qingshan, who sneaked out to rehearse, soon discovered that Taylor, who had disappeared for no reason at the banquet, actually appeared in the lead dance queue.
Captain Jesseni saw his arrival and hurried up to explain: "Mukhtar changed the boss's choreography without authorization because he suddenly found that Miss Taylor was surprisingly suitable for this performance, and she was as tall as you invited her to be. These girls are almost indistinguishable, and the overall feeling is exceptionally harmonious!"
Liu Qingshan originally had the purpose of pushing Taylor out, and was only surprised that Xiao Nizi would have more opportunities to appear: "She took the initiative to join? That's fine. Since she likes it herself, she will follow your ideas. Certainly!"
In fact, there was another person at the scene whom he invited in advance, the rapper Tom Hopper who was covered in tattoos for the first performance.
Moreover, Hopper had obtained the lyrics and music of that song two days ago and was now using it skillfully.
The background music for the live rehearsal was performed by him and Daft Punk. However, due to Liu Qingshan's delay in coming, the recording version could not continue.
This is an old song, not Liu Qingshan's "work". There is a reason why he used other people's works for the first time, because what he wants to promote is not just the song itself, but more focused on the group dances of girls. .
Just because he knows that in the next few years, an unprecedented square dance trend will be spread across every corner of the mainland. In the future, this form of square dance will trigger a global trend.
He can be the one to trigger the inevitable trend before it becomes popular around the world, so this time the program was planned.
Of course, this is only one of his initial designs, and there will be more in-depth guidance later, including a trip to the Cold Country in the near future.
