The spectators and reporters were astonished as if there was a thunderous explosion above their heads, and they were stunned like half a piece of wood. They were so shocked that they felt as if they had received an electric shock, and their spirits were in a state of half-delirium.
Their brains had lost the ability to direct their actions, and they stood there motionless, staring blankly at the figures performing on the stage.
Corresponding to the overall movement on the stage, which is all-in, one-off, all-out, the boxing style shows a distinct rhythm of moving, reaching, and stopping.
The movement of the two feet is like driving a plow to plow the ground, with the consciousness and propulsion to overturn obstacles forward, and the tiger is powerful.
When the feet hit the ground, they hit the ground as hard as if they were about to crush poisonous insects. There was a sound when they stepped on the ground, which was consistent with the faint thunder in the whistles and moves.
The moves are like Shu Yanyi, with the momentum of a tiger pushing up a mountain. Between the forward and backward movements, almost the entire cement stage is shaking, and the momentum is unparalleled.
Today's performance on stage is different from any martial arts display. It is an inner strength that is completely coordinated with breathing and movements. This kind of strength is finally released with the momentum, and the onlookers will have a very distinct feeling. Feeling trembling.
However, ordinary martial arts routines do not generate energy in every posture during practice, so they are only called postures, not energy, and have only form but no substance.
Any momentum in boxing is a means of controlling people. When the momentum is connected, it is unstoppable. This is the difference between performance and actual combat.
Therefore, bystanders can not only deeply feel the majesty of their performances, but even bring a clear sense of fear to their hearts.
This is the strength of the force method. Any move can be used and can be broken, but the force is difficult to break. This is what is called the force that cannot be taken.
Even a complete layman can feel what the real art of killing is from their performances, because they bring people an inexplicable sense of danger that fills their bodies, rather than a pleasing feeling of pleasure.
Moreover, these scenes were truly recorded by several cameras at the scene.
Liu Qingshan's purpose in doing this is an unabashed intimidation. He wants the world to see what real Kung Fu is, and the shock it brings to people will be transformed into interest in the movie and increase market influence. force.
What's more, he praised Haikou as early as when Ip Man 1 was released. Starting from this one, the real kung fu movies were born.
Therefore, he spends so much time promoting it to have the effect of making it clear to people that his era of kung fu movies has just begun.
Obviously Hong Dabao quickly realized his good intentions, and then took advantage of the opportunity when Liu Jiaban closed the team and walked off the stage, and was the first to stand up and explain.
"You've all seen what kind of action team we have under Director Liu, right? To be honest with you, if any one of the Liu family members stands up, it's not something that an old guy like me can compete with. It's a pity that I was born earlier than them. Decades!"
"In the Ip Man series of movies, isn't Mr. Hong's action team coordinating the entire action direction?" There are also different voices of doubt.
"The Liu family is strong enough, but I have decades more filming experience than them. After all, movie scenes need to be pleasing to the eye, not cruel actual combat effects. Otherwise, how many people would be willing to watch a fight scene without rounds? ".
There was a burst of laughter and nods of approval.
Hong Dabao's statement is undoubtedly the most professional. Although the killing technique is extremely terrifying, it is not suitable to be placed in a movie. As he said, a showdown without rounds is boring, and no matter how good the plot is, it is just Just a documentary.
Hong Dabao strikes while the iron is hot: "But our Ip Man cast has people with extraordinary abilities that most of our colleagues don't have. They may not even get a chance to show their faces, but they can help us, half-assed Kung Fu stars, show off talents that we could only imagine before." Only with extremely difficult movements and real kung fu that does not require any auxiliary facilities can the essence of Chinese martial arts be expressed!"
Liu Qingshan further added: "Kung Fu movies without special effects are called real Kung Fu. I can guarantee that every frame of the fight scene is genuine, without any exaggerated special effects. Even many scenes of flesh-and-blood wounds are real and not fake." Makeup effect!"
The second half of the sentence is a bit exaggerated, but with the shocking performance in front of it, any statement he makes will be more authentic. As for how many people will believe it in the end, it is none of his business.
It is just a promotion of the work, just like advertising. The depth and breadth of communication are just means. It is just an act of market expansion for the purpose of profit. No one will take it too seriously.
"I would like to ask Mr. Liu, will the release of this film miss the Spring Festival schedule?"
"I'm quite confident about this, and I might as well tell you that we have completed filming one-third of the entire plot!"
"No way, as far as we know, the official filming of the crew will take less than ten days!"
"But you don't know that as early as half a year ago, Brother Dabao led the team to make various preliminary preparations. Moreover, our main actors have been gathered together to receive professional training for two months. With these sufficient prerequisites, Only then can we ensure that the subsequent filming progress is safe and smooth!”
"How come you didn't see any on-the-spot guidance from the descendants of the Ye family at this step?"
"The two seniors of the Ye family have always lived with the centralized training staff, but they don't like to be in the spotlight, so they leave all the limelight to us young people!"
"Has Mr. Liu made any estimate of box office expectations?"
"I never try this kind of meaningless prediction, because it is meaningless. How to create high quality is my goal."
"There were several characters in the first part that left a deep impression on people. Discussions about resurrecting the characters have always existed among the people. What do you think of Mr. Liu on this issue?"
"Jinshan will find a continuation if he finds this character, but I haven't considered this issue yet for characters other than him. If the public has many opinions on this, you can leave me a message after this movie is released. If conditions permit, I I will definitely think about this issue seriously.”
"What is your attitude towards someone commenting that the plot of a kung fu movie is too simple?"
"I like such a relatively simple plot, which is much better than a series of hodgepodge movies that want to show humanity, love, money, power, and nonsense. As for kung fu movies, what the audience wants to see most is the peak showdown, where every move is real. Kung fu and powerful fighting scenes, I believe this is the movie-watching experience that will make the audience hooked and applaud."
...
It seems that after watching the performance, the reporters at the scene became much more enthusiastic about wanting to know more details about the film.
The questions were mainly directed at Liu Qingshan. Fortunately, with the help of two senior Hong Kong bosses, Hong Dabao and Ren Jiahua, all the questions were not too outrageous.
Otherwise, with the traditional gossip style of Xiangjiang reporters, many other issues will inevitably be brought up by insinuations.
Even so, the entire interview process lasted nearly two hours, which shows that the topic in this film is still very high.
Liu Qingshan did not participate in the subsequent dinner arrangements. He found an excuse to pass all the reception work to the above two people, and then plunged into the private studio that only belonged to him to start rough editing.
Since he has the entire original picture in his mind, he doesn't need more material for subsequent parts to smooth out the previous parts.
He did this not only to save time, but also to allow director Ye Weixing to have a relatively clear plot progression route, and to have clearer directing ideas so that Liu Qingshan could be replaced in future filming.
Because he will be very busy in the future. Seeing that the fifth rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala is approaching, and there will be the premiere of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" at the end of this month, it is inevitable to ask for leave.
Therefore, in the near future, he will focus on filming the parts about Ip Man. Only when Director Ip is completely familiar with his creative ideas can he proceed step by step according to his shooting plan.
The next day, the interview content appeared intensively in major media.
And it started to spread overseas before noon. Among them, the Liu Jiaban performance footage was bound to become the most topical report content, and it appeared in every corner of the world overnight.
The reason is simple, because more and more
Professional picture interpretation has appeared, allowing more people to understand more meanings in real Kung Fu.
This time it was out of control. Even though the world had long known about Liu Qingshan's terrifying strength, apart from the limited impact of the pictures, most of the information was just rumors.
But this time it was different. Although Liu Jiaban's performance was just a manifestation of some superficial kung fu, after all, there were very few people with professional knowledge, and most people were shocked when they saw it.
Being able to produce rumbling sound effects from a simple punching movement shocked the world so much that in their eyes it went beyond people's most basic understanding of martial arts.
Moreover, abilities higher than theirs are invisible to the naked eye. Naturally, the most intuitive visual experience becomes unattainable or unfathomable in the eyes of ordinary people.
Regarding this phenomenon, Liu Qingshan and all the insiders saw it in their eyes and smiled on their faces, but no one tried to explain it to the outside world.
Including those private masters who are invisible all over the world, they will not sneer at this phenomenon, or be envious and jealous, because the positive social effects it brings are beneficial to warriors of any nature.
Only an environment where everyone is martial can lead to the further popularization and development of martial arts inheritance. Most people with the same abilities still hope to develop as a whole and no longer be an outlier in society.
Of course, more warriors regard this incident as entertainment news, and no stronger person will take the initiative to stand up to argue or issue a challenge.
Because they knew in their hearts that behind Liu Jiaban stood Liu Qingshan, who was recognized by the martial arts community as the strongest in the world.
Regardless of whether you feel dissatisfied with this understanding, it is an indisputable fact that no warrior is willing to be his enemy.
