You made me a superstar

Chapter 299 The Battle of Flames!

"The Grandmaster" is naturally not a horror film, and it does not intend to scare the audience with a weird atmosphere.

It just uses Zhou Yang's penetrating acting skills and atmosphere to render an ignorant and insensitive world.

The script of "The Grand Master" is roughly written by Zhou Yang according to "Huang Feihong: A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" in his memory. The main line is the same, but Zhou Yang does not have a system, and it is impossible to completely change all the content in the movie to the original world. In that movie, Huang Jiacheng is not a martial arts geek director Tsui Hark, who focuses on dazzling movie visual feasts...

He is more inclined to exaggerate the extreme and the atmosphere of the movie, because he knows martial arts, has held a knife since he was a child, and has experienced some "jianghu years" in the years when Hong Kong Island was ruled by "foreigners". The joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of the people are portrayed in detail, and vaguely, you can see the past satirizing the present in the movie.

After the film critic Ba Liming was startled by the little girl's smile for a while, a trace of sadness appeared in his heart inexplicably.

That is superstition!

but……

When Zhou Yang performed with such vivid acting skills, it felt like he was possessed by something crazy through the screen, let alone the people present.

Baliming suddenly thought of the news on Hong Kong Island during the filming of "The Grand Master".

[Please ask God on the spot, Lu Zai may be possessed by evil spirits]

[A supernatural event appeared on the shooting scene of "The Grand Master", Daluzai went crazy and convulsed, and failed in the suspicious fight! 】

[At the gate of the Kowloon Church, many old ladies bowed devoutly, chanting words. 】

【…】

Until now recall, those news headlines are still vivid.

"Very sad!"

After coming out of the memory, seeing the rampant White Lotus believers on the screen riding horses and shouting "White Lotus Save the World" everywhere, the sadness in Baliming's heart became more and more intense.

Even in the 21st century, there are still so many people obsessed with superstition, not to mention the age when the people's wisdom was not developed and the world was in chaos.

The guns of foreigners not only broke the backbone of that era, but also broke the backbone of many people's hearts.

..............................

The background of "The Grand Master" is depressing.

In order to prevent this kind of depression from becoming the keynote of the whole movie, Huang Jiacheng deliberately laid down a ruthless hand on the characters, even more ruthless than Zhou Yang's script.

Some of the plots of the protagonist Huang Feihong in "The Grand Master" are humorous, especially the interaction with the heroine Aunt Thirteen.

The heroine of "The Grand Master" is Yao Xue. Zhou Yang is not familiar with Yao Xue, and he doesn't have any rivalry. He only knows that she is the heroine forced by the investor.

The interaction between Huang Feihong played by Huo Yuanjie and Aunt Thirteen played by Yao Xue in the movie is very humorous.

Huang Jiacheng has mastered the contrast of characters to the extreme. Huang Feihong, who has always been serious and even a little pedantic in the "grandmaster style", feels strange when encountering some Western artifacts, but he can't show in front of his apprentices that he has never seen the world. So many operations are very similar to "Uncle Nine Drinking Coffee" like a country bumpkin who is strong enough to see the world, and the open and bold Aunt Thirteen seems open and generous, but she always fantasizes about dancing with Huang Feihong , after meeting the serious Huang Feihong, there will always be embarrassing scenes where reality and fantasy deviate...

In the screening hall, many audience members were amused by the two characters.

Tang Xiao was also amused, and couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he instinctively glanced at An Zhibin.

An Zhibin next to An Xiao didn't smile, his expression was serious all the time, his back was straight as if he was sitting upright, it seemed that he didn't come to watch a movie, but came for some meeting.

The movie has been playing for 10 minutes.

He kept staring at the screen, Tang Xiao looked at his serious appearance, and suddenly felt that he was very suitable for Huang Feihong's role.

"How?" Tang Xiao touched his arm with his arm.

"General." He replied calmly.

"Will you leave halfway?" Tang Xiao continued to ask.

An Zhibin remained silent and just looked at the screen expressionlessly.

Huang Jiacheng's picture-scroll shooting is getting deeper and deeper. After slowly unfolding, although he tried his best to portray the perspective of the protagonist, every scene can make An Zhibin feel a picture of a building about to collapse in a storm... …

The ignorant and ignorant people are smoking opium indifferently. The chaotic situation is complicated and the feudalism is deeply rooted.

Some people just muddle through their lives with nothing to do with their country and family...

And some people try to be the supporting wooden pillar in the building that is about to collapse.

On the screen, the character Nalan Yuanshu played by Donnie Yen appeared on the stage. As a warrior, he was born with an upright spirit, but he seemed like a tragic figure.

On the one hand, he understands that the imperial court is rotten and alone, but on the other hand, the thought of loyalty and patriotism that is deeply rooted in his bones is vividly interpreted in him. He knows that the country is like this, but he has to shoulder that responsibility...

in front of the screen.

When he saw Nalan Yuanshu emphasizing that this is Huaxia in front of foreigners, and acting neither humble nor overbearing, An Zhibin sighed inwardly.

He has to admit that the movie "The Grand Master" is indeed different from other martial arts movies. It has a very high intention and has been elevated to the height of the country, nation and history...

In particular, fictional characters and historical figures appear one by one and collide with each other. Against the background of this dark era, the spirit of staggering forward in a pool of blood and still exploring the light is extremely moving.

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's about to start!"

"What's starting?"

"In the scene of "Burning the Nine Palaces", I heard that in order to make this movie more real, Huang Jiacheng spent nearly 500 million to build a real Nine Palaces, but when shooting, he put a lot of money on the scene. Big fire, many actors are filming in the big fire!"

"I'm stupid, is it true or not?"

"Did you forget the news during the filming of "The Grand Master"? According to gossip, many actors were burned, and many photography equipment were burned out..."

"This……"

An Zhibin heard the discussion.

He frowned unconsciously, then stared at the screen.

..............................

on screen.

The flames blazed with the wind.

Under the camera, the bamboo tables and chairs were engulfed by the flames, and there were continuous crackling sounds in the black smoke.

Amidst the flames soaring into the sky, the surrounding air produced layers of heat waves like water, and one could feel the heat through the screen.

When they learned that this scene was filmed in a real fire, the audience felt that the director Huang Jia was like a lunatic, but their strong curiosity drove them to stare at the screen tightly.

"Xiaoxiao is superstitious, he only dares to pretend to be a ghost, and come out to die!"

On the screen, they saw Nalan Yuanshu wearing a feathered hat and long-sleeved official uniform, holding a long stick, chasing a White Lotus disciple into the raging fire, facing the endless flames, holding a long stick, Roar to the sky!

In the raging fire, there are many shadows of sticks, whirring!
Around the stick shadow, reddish bodies rushed out of the flames holding long knives and attacked Nalan Yuanshu.

White clothes and white hats, but walk in the fire, in the scorching flames, every figure is like a ghost, attacking in all directions, there is no dead angle, but Nalan Yuanshu's long stick seems to have long eyes, not only blocking the bursts of fire The light of the knife even lifted the figure under the light of the knife several meters away, causing it to fall into the flames and turn into ashes!
"This is the stick method derived from Goro's gossip stick."

"Sweeping with a stick, the ultimate stick technique can be achieved, holding a bucket and splashing, but the water can't get in!"

In the screening room!

One audience member couldn't help exclaiming.

While exclaiming, everyone saw Donnie Yen on the screen stepping forward with both feet, with a sharp stick, and countless figures fell down in response.

The audience's eyes were straightened, and many people were excitedly clutching the armrests of the chairs!

In reality, they have never seen such an amazing stick technique!
One sweep, one chop, one stab and one shock, it is simply a visual feast without special effects.

"Magic body protection, invincible in the world, magical body protection, invincible in the world!"

Yen Ziwu's stick technique was excellent, but in the sea of ​​fire, the roars from all directions became louder and louder, like chanting scriptures, and the magic sound pierced through the ears.

In the flames, the audience saw believers dressed in white coming from all directions in the west. Their faces were pious, but their movements were like beasts, rushing towards Nalan Yuanshu. He actually wanted to pick up Nalan Yuanshu by the waist and drag him into the flames.

The camera gave a close-up of these believers. These believers had fanatical eyes, their bodies were burned by flames but did not hurt, their eyes were bloodshot, as if they were guarding some kind of belief, and their mouths were chanting endlessly...

Seeing the close-ups of these believers, many viewers shuddered. What method did these "White Lotus Sect" use to brainwash them like this?
but……

Although these believers are crazy, they are only supporting roles in this scene.

Nalan Yuanshu used one to block ten, two feet stepped on the ground, soared into the air, the flames were dazzling, and the stick swept all directions, as many people came and died, no one could bully him, and in the breath, countless figures were buried in the sea of ​​flames and dyed into ashes!
The essence of Goro's gossip stick is vividly interpreted by him.

"Donnie Yen definitely has real kung fu!"

"Those believers were all picked away!"

"How can ordinary people have such amazing power under such circumstances!"

"Also, looking at his endless panting, and then watching the long shot of this scene, it was shot almost in one go, there is no cutting element in it..."

"My grass!"

"The big scene is coming!"

The audience was shocked.

Some knowledgeable film critics also widened their eyes, and the more they watched, the more frightened they became!

What happened next made their hearts tremble violently!
"boom!"

There was a loud noise!
The wooden pillars on the other side of the Nine Palaces could not withstand the burning flames and broke in the middle, and collapsed instantly.

Everyone saw the white figures being smashed into the sea of ​​flames on the spot, and screamed, but the roar of chanting words still came from all directions, and it never stopped!
They even saw a Bailian believer with flames all over his body churning in the sea of ​​flames, singing the song "Change the Jade Emperor in the sky, and the King of Hades in the ground", before being swallowed by the sea of ​​flames.

The audience who saw this scene covered their mouths instantly, and their hearts were shocked. Although the fire was burning in the movie, they were even more chilled!
Those are real people!
How did Huang Jiacheng shoot it!
