Superstars start as villains

Chapter 120 Full marks for program effects.

In the first half of 2005, the domestic box office market was basically dominated by Hollywood blockbusters. [Star Wars: Episode 3] and [Operation Smith] earned 7554 million and 6200 million respectively.

The performance of domestic films in the first half of the year was somewhat unsatisfactory, but fortunately, good news came in June, and the approved [Seven Swords] was officially scheduled for summer, and will be released in late July.

Xu Ke, who has created many classic films, is as well-known in the mainland as other famous directors. As soon as the news broke out, it has attracted the attention of many movie fans. The enthusiasm of movie fans is unprecedentedly high. The only problem is that we still have to wait. more than a month.

In order to satisfy the audience's curiosity, or to whet the audience's appetite, Shi Nansheng quickly launched the first promotional video of Seven Swords.

In the vast desert, a group of knights with white faces rode tall horses and surrounded a group of Jianghu people holding swords. One of the Jianghu people uttered a mournful roar: Didn't it be agreed that you can be dealt with leniently if you put down your weapons?

The white-faced knight seems to have heard a very funny joke: the emperor is afraid that you will rebel, and a head costs 300 taels of silver. Death is the greatest tolerance for you.

As soon as the words fell, a massacre started, and the whole screen turned blood red.

As soon as the picture turned, on the white snow mountain, there was a sword with carved dragons and painted buildings on the hilt. There was a soft cry, and the person holding the sword waved it lightly, and the huge rock at the entrance of the cave shattered, and two figures came from the top of the snow mountain. Gliding in the air, the picture fell into darkness, a sound of horseshoes seemed to come from a distance, and seven horses galloped in the snowy night, splashing the residual snow and flying all over the sky.

The screen changed again, Wuzhuang, and the seven swords appeared one by one, killing the three hundred soldiers and horses.

After the short 3-minute trailer was broadcast on the movie channel, it immediately aroused strong reactions from movie fans. As far as this trailer is concerned, it is somewhat similar to [New Dragon Inn], but judging from the fighting movements of Seven Swords, it is biased toward In actual combat, it is not as agile and elegant as the New Dragon Inn, but it gives movie fans a sense of sight—this is the real martial arts. From the beginning of the trailer, it gives people a strong sense of oppression. A head of 300 taels , when human life can be measured by money, is it still guaranteed?
For many viewers who regard martial arts as fairy tales, this trailer is not exciting. However, in the eyes of fans who really love martial arts, this is the true restoration of the arena, without elegant lightness, and without various Strange ghost's internal strength mentality, only one person and one sword, taking the head of the general from the army, that's all.

The trailer got a lot of response. CCTV's six rebroadcasts were no longer enough to meet the audience's needs. Some interested viewers even recorded the trailer and posted it on the Internet to share with everyone.

Martial arts post bars, martial arts forums, these places where martial arts fans gather, almost no one is missing, and most movie fans are full of praise for the quality of the trailer.

In Zhou Xing's post bar, there were also a lot of discussions. Regarding Zhou Xing's appearance, some fans felt that it was a bit rough and could not show Zhou Xing's appearance. Of course, some fans thought that Zhou Xing's appearance was tougher than before. Manly.

After the release of the trailer, Shi Nansheng was also paying close attention to the reactions on the Internet. She was surprised to find that no matter whether it was a post bar or a forum, there were extremely active posts about Zhou Xing. In comparison, other actors were far worse. He has gone a lot, and even Li Min can't compare with him.

Xu Ke is the director, Shi Nansheng is the producer. In the Xiangjiang film circle, he was once known as "The Legend of Condor Heroes". With perfect cooperation, Xu may have the status he has today. To be honest, Shi Nansheng has contributed a lot.

As a producer, Shi Nansheng is the top existence in the circle in terms of publicity, distribution, financing, etc. In 2001, Xu Ke filmed "Shushan Biography" and the investor almost vomited blood. With an investment of 1.4 million yuan, it is precisely because of Shi Nansheng's escort that Xu Ke can show his talent to the greatest extent.

As a senior producer, Shi Nansheng is naturally not difficult to find Zhou Xing's popularity, so he is a well-deserved C position when formulating the publicity plan. In fact, to be precise, the number one male in this drama should be Fu Qingzhu played by Liu Jialiang.

Regarding this, Liu Jialiang behaved very gracefully and didn't take it seriously at all. He even said to the media: I am an old man who is dying, if there is anything to interview, if you have any questions, you can ask him.

The him Liu Jialiang spoke of was naturally Zhou Xing.

Therefore, Zhou Xing and Li Min became the busiest people every time they participated in promotional activities. That is to say, in the mainland, Lu Yi, Sun Honglei and many reporters remembered them. If they were in Xiangjiang, they probably wouldn't have anything to do.

As a martial arts film, in some programs, Zhou Xing was asked most often about martial arts action. Regarding this point, he can proudly say that he did not use a stand-in once in the whole film, and he fought for real throughout the whole film.

"That's right, I can testify that he did the whole fight from beginning to end, and all the difficult movements were done by himself." Sun Honglei said in an interview program.

Amidst the surprise of the audience, the host focused on Sun Honglei: "What about you? Was there any scene where a double was used?"

Sun Honglei didn't hide anything: "I was most impressed by the last fight scene between Fenghuo Liancheng and Chu Zhaonan. It was too difficult to finish, so the last scene was completed by martial arts instructor Xiong Xinxin for me. "

This is also Xiong Xinxin's rare appearance in front of the media.

The host invited Xiong Xinxin to the stage, and asked curiously: "That is to say, Zhou Xing himself knows martial arts?"

Xiong Xinxin nodded and said: "That's right, many viewers may not know that Zhou Xing is the nephew of Liu Jialiang Master Liu, and his Hongquan skills are no worse than mine."

As soon as these words came out, the audience at the scene burst into exclamation. Zhou Xing's impressions on the screen in the past were both good and evil, and there were also many fight scenes, but most of the audience thought that they were all done by doubles. Could it be that, All the martial arts actions he filmed before were all performed by himself?

Seeing this, the host was moved in his heart: "There is still about a month before the release of Seven Swords. I believe Zhou Xing and Director Xiong can't bear to keep the audience waiting for so long. Why don't we have a live episode?"

In fact, this section is a script prepared in advance. For this reason, Xiong Xinxin specially designed a set of actions. After all, if it is really played, the actions will not be so good-looking, and it will not have a good publicity effect.

As soon as the host finished speaking, the audience started to applaud desperately. This is very strange. I have seen celebrities singing and telling jokes on TV, but I have never seen live ammunition fighting, and it is natural for Zhou Xing to be the protagonist in the movie. It is certain to win, but what is the actual combat effectiveness?
Zhou Xing and Xiong Xinxin pretended to be very friendly, "Then let's practice a few tricks, until we finish."

Although it was a pre-prepared routine, Zhou Xing and Xiong Xinxin punched and kicked, and the fight was very lively. Naturally, the moves designed by Xiong Xinxin were not the kind of fake one.

It's a bit similar, in the same discipline, keep your strength and don't hold back your hands, and Hong Quan is the kind of boxing that is wide open and close, and the effect of the show is almost perfect.
