China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

Because of her guest appearance in "The Great Wall", the first film Zhang Ruolan met with the audience was not "The Three-Body Problem 2" shot by Jiang Heng, but "The Great Wall" directed by Zhang Yimou.

So, in this super period of the beginning of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Ruolan had three films released, two of which were special effects blockbusters, and the popularity was the highest in the year!

But because she was a guest star in "The Great Wall", many people still don't know her, but are curious about this girl who plays a couple with Jiang Heng in the film.

Who is this person?

Someone who knows said, "Her name is Zhang Ruolan, the heroine of "The Three-Body Problem 2" during the Spring Festival, the one who plays Zhuang Yan!"

"Oh, she really looks a bit like, that kind of first love feeling!"

"She is also young!"

"It's not just about age, it's also because of her face. I remember Director Jiang picked the candidate for Zhuang Yan through an open audition!"

"Director Jiang selected several candidates, and he really became popular after choosing one!"

"It's inevitable. With Director Jiang's strength, whoever he supports will become popular!"

On the big screen, Fusu and Meng Tian personally went to the battlefield and finally killed the beast king. The remaining monsters ran away in three directions: east, north, and west.

Fusu dragged his seriously injured body to the corpse of the Qin princess played by Zhang Ruolan, and said in grief: "Sister, let's go, brother will take you home!"

After saying that, he leaned over to hug her, but he couldn't lift her up at all.

Fusu knelt down and cried, grief-stricken.

That night, Fusu and Meng Tian were both seriously injured and unable to recover.

Meng Tian asked Fusu if he regretted it. If he had abandoned the Great Wall defense line and returned to Xianyang City, he would have been the second emperor of the Qin Empire.

Judging from the performance of the monster army in this battle, if they dared to come to Xianyang City, they would definitely be destroyed.

Fusu said weakly: "My Ying family is the descendant of Emperor Zhuanxu. We were ordered by heaven to unify the country. How could we abandon our territory to beasts and let the people become food? Although I am dead now, my name can be recorded in bamboo and silk. I have no regrets!"

After Fusu finished speaking, he died.

Seeing this scene, the audience in the venue all had tears in their eyes. It was really that the Fusu in front of them was portrayed so well.

And thinking of the fate of the Qin Empire, the audience couldn't help but feel a little sad.

At the end of the film, a few minutes of fast-cut shots were used to tell about Hu Hai's misdeeds and the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

Liu Bang took the lead in entering Guanzhong, and the Qin Dynasty was destroyed. The film ended here.

When the lights in the venue came on, warm applause broke out instantly.

To be honest, everyone looked at Zhang Yimou with a different look.

Because this film did not have the twisted feeling in Director Zhang's previous films, but was a commercial blockbuster with shocking visual effects and smooth plot.

It was slightly worse than Jiang Heng's, but it was definitely not inferior to those Hollywood special effects blockbusters.

In addition, the success of this film proved Zhang Yimou's ability in this type of film, and there will definitely be similar films in the future!

Feng Xiaogang failed to shoot "Night Banquet" that year, and he never dared to try similar films again.

"Congratulations, Director Zhang!"

"Congratulations!"

"Director Zhang, it's really good!"

There were not many guests at the scene, but Zhang Yimou still felt that there were hands everywhere and shook hands for a long time.

He immediately went on stage to give a speech, "I really have to thank Director Jiang for his great support and help for this movie!

In fact, the idea of ​​making such a monster blockbuster of our own people came several years ago. I read a lot of information and drew many kinds of concept drawings of monsters, and finally it was what everyone saw...!"

Zhang Yimou was excited and spoke for more than ten minutes, only to find that he had said a little too much, and finally ended his speech with a smile.

The premiere ceremony of "The Great Wall" ended here.

The company held a reception dinner as usual, because not many guests and creators came, that is, two tables were placed in the large banquet hall.

After eating, Jiang Heng left by car.

In the next few days, Yang Mi had to cooperate with the publicity and promotion activities of "The Great Wall" and began to travel all over the country.

Zhang Ruolan was busy with the final exams and had no time to accompany him.

Jing Tian, ​​who had just returned from a trip, went straight to Jiang Heng's office, peeled an orange and ate it while asking, "How is Director Zhang's "The Great Wall"? Is it good?"

"Well, it's OK!"

Jing Tian was stunned, "Is there something on my face?"

"No!"

"Then why are you smiling so weirdly!" Jing Tian rolled his eyes at Jiang Heng.

"Nothing, I just think that if you play the heroine in this movie, it should be good!"

"Didn't Director Zhang choose Yang Mi? How can I snatch her? Besides, I'm too lazy to shoot any movie other than yours!"

Jiang Heng said, "I tell you, don't think you are very excited about shooting variety shows now, this thing is very damaging to your acting skills. If you shoot for another year or two, you won't be able to act in movies!"

Jing Tian's beautiful big eyes widened, "Do I really have acting skills that can be damaged?"

Seeing that Jiang Heng was speechless after being asked back, Da Tiantian laughed and laughed.

"Haha, you look so funny!"

"I'm just thinking about you!"

Da Tiantian said with a calm expression: "Oh, it doesn't matter. For women, the golden period of their career is only a few years. Whether they can seize it or not, it will pass sooner or later.

In the final analysis, it's about making more money while the time is good!

But I already have enough money now, of course, I can’t compare with you. But compared with other female stars, she is not even a little bit better.

Nowadays, through variety shows, you can easily earn more money and be happy. How great!

If I do nothing and stay by your side all day long, you will probably get bored again! "

At the end of Jing Tan's words, his tone turned a little sad.

Jiang Heng's expression changed when he heard this. Of course he knew what Da Tiantian meant by saying this.

He walked over and held Da Tiantian's little hand, "You are always so kind!"

"You are so bad!"

Jiang Heng smiled, "If men aren't bad, women won't love them. So, do you love them?"

"What did you say!"

…

In the blink of an eye, a week later, it was time for "The Great Wall" to hit theaters.

On this day, Da Tiantian drove Jiang Heng to the Wukesong Branch of the China Film Red Cinema to watch "The Great Wall".

In her words, she always felt that this movie had something to do with her, so she must come to the cinema to watch it.

Jiang Heng was speechless about this, because it meant that it was his second time watching the movie, and he hoped that no one would ask him to watch it with him again!

There were so many spectators in the theater that it was hard to get a ticket.

Because this subject matter is very special, Jiang Heng has been shooting special effects blockbusters for so many years, and there is only one pure special effects blockbuster, and that is "One Hundred Million Years Before History" shot many years ago.

Although there are monsters in the two "Pacific Rim" movies, it is the mechas that attract the audience's perspective more.

Therefore, "The Great Wall" can be regarded as a rare special effects blockbuster in Chinese films.

After all, even foreign dinosaur movies have not been on the big screen for many years.

Suddenly a domestic monster blockbuster was released, directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Jiang Heng. So many people came to watch it that it sold out instantly! (End of chapter)
