I didn't want to be an actor

"Thirty Thousand Miles from Chang'an"...

Many people say it is not consistent with historical facts...

But this is an animated film, not a documentary.

It is a wrong angle to view "Thirty Thousand Miles from Chang'an" as a historical documentary.

It's like using the standards of history books to evaluate "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Water Margin".

"Thirty Thousand Miles from Chang'an" is a movie that re-explains and interprets a poem that almost all Chinese people can memorize, so that almost all viewers who have watched the movie finally understand the true meaning of this poem that has been memorized all their lives - —Knowledge learned many years ago begins to attack the mind.

Especially the section "About to Enter the Wine", even though they memorized it thoroughly while reading, many viewers were still moved to tears by the lines, pictures, and interpretation methods...

However, this movie means nothing to Shen Liang.

When he invests, he just wants to make some money...

At that time, he was not a famous film and television investor, so he only invested 20%...

It should still be a premium investment...

But I definitely still made money.

…

The cast of "Shu Mountain" is very rich, with hundreds of people. Even Li Yingqiong's father, who only appeared once, found Zhou Yiwei!

In terms of lineup, it is second only to works such as "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" and "The Founding of the Party".

The main reason why the actors are willing to come is because of the appeal of Xu Ke + Shen Liang + "Shu Mountain".

Old Monster Xu looked at "Shu Mountain" three times. This stunt is too big!

In recent years, film and television works with the theme of fairy tales have become more and more common. Every year, there are several ancient fairy tale masterpieces...

But these works generally stretch the crotch!

It’s easy to fall in love with gods and get married to gods.

Those who cultivate immortality are immortals, and those who cultivate immortality often spend hundreds or even thousands of years. There is no time in the mountains, and there are thousands of years in the world. Time is the most worthless thing for practitioners. Thousands of years will pass if you don't pay attention.

On the road of spiritual practice, you may be destined but not ruthless. You may be moved by friendship, but you must not be moved by your heart. If your heart is moved, you will be robbed. This is the "biggest taboo" in spiritual practice. In traditional stories, whether it is "The Match of the Immortal" or "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" , are all telling the truth about practice and not to be emotional.

Compared with the current fairy tale dramas, "the immortals are chasing love, the gods are in love, the gods, kings and emperors are busy chasing their wives...".

The setting of "The Legend of Shushan" attracted applause from the audience!

"The Legend of Shushan" has become the pinnacle of domestic fairy tales. Scenes such as flying swords and floating fairy mountains are enough to put the so-called fairy tales to shame.

Being able to fly with a sword, never walking on legs, being able to cast magic weapons without using fists and kicks, and using all kinds of magical weapons to shine, this is what fairy tales and fantasy dramas should be like.

Now, "Shu Mountain" is here again!

It has been 22 years since the last "Shushan Biography".

Those in charge of publicity are Shen Liang, Tsui Hark and Lu Yang...

Shen Liang started: "We have set up the format of a trilogy from the beginning... The story of "Shushan" is very long, and we will definitely adapt it! And the biggest problem with the original work of Shushan is its value orientation and concept of right and wrong, good and evil, It’s not consistent with modern society…”

"Because it is a novel written in the 1940s, the writing style is very outdated, and there is an absolute concept of good and evil. Good people are good in any way, and bad people are wrong in everything they do. Even if the treasure is handed over late, the "greedy heart" will be deducted. "The big hat."

"In fact, modern chivalrous novels have gradually moved towards dialectical materialism and historical materialism starting from Jin Yong, Gu Long and others. However, Mr. Huanzhu's "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" still treats moral good and evil in a static and isolated one-sided way..."

Lu Yang also said: "...I also watched a little bit of "Shu Mountain", and I really hate Yu Yingnan. To give two examples, Mi Mingniang spent decades guarding the Nanming Lihuo Sword, and ended up making her wedding dress; Huo Wu Wu has been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years, and has been exposed to the meridian rays every day for decades. In the end, he also made her wedding dress.

These two seniors, who have been practicing for hundreds of years, had to worship Yu Yingnan as their master just because of their poor fortune to join the Emei Sect.

Zen Master Xiaoyue found a broken jade hook and refined it for many years. However, he met Master Miaoyi and was directly robbed and given to his son... I couldn't understand it at the time, what does "poor fortune" mean? "

Shen Liang added: "However, "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" is indeed based on Pingjiang Buxiaosheng's "The Legend of Jianghu Qixia" and creates the general outline of the school of novels about cultivating immortals. It includes Yuanying, Yuanshen, inner alchemy, and flying sword magic weapons. It comes from "Shu Mountain", and later writers carried it forward and continued to advance to greater heights, but in fact they did not break out of this broad framework."

When it comes to Tsui Hark, he said: "When filming "The New Shushan Swordsman", Hong Kong film stunts were in their infancy. At that time, I was exploring blue and green sets while filming; when filming "The Legend of Shushan", these Everything has matured, and my expectation at the time was that 40 million would be enough... During the filming, I kept overspending, and ended up spending more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars... The market response was very bad. "

"More than twenty years have passed this time... Needless to say, the technological progress has been made. The plot is very compact and modern..."

…

In fact, Tsui Hark's "The Legend of Shushan" has been criticized in Hong Kong!

A bunch of film critics made various criticisms: "There is no rhythm at all. The "Dao Ma Dan" back then was filmed in a relaxed and exciting way, but "Shu Mountain" was shot from beginning to end without taking a breath. It made people's optic nerves and brain nerves sore. tired…'

""Shu Mountain" uses stunts as its appeal, and it indeed makes the fairy world look as sci-fi as outer space. There are also several hills suspended around the top of the mountain, like satellites. It looks good at first, but becomes boring after a long time..."

‘The whole film tells an illusory story in this illusory world. In the age of technology, Tsui Hark wanted to keep up with the trend of the times, but he lost himself. ’

‘In the boundless splendor of "The Legend of Zu", people can see helplessness. The end of heroes and the old age of martyrs are really the saddest things. The wind is whistling and the Yishui River is cold. The warriors will never come back once they leave. ’

In fact, there is another important reason why Tsui Hark was able to raise 80 million to shoot "The Legend of Zu": "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a great revelation: as long as it is well filmed, the actors don’t need to speak English to become an international film.

Yes, thanks to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has a global box office of 218 million US dollars. You should know that the total box office of the Hong Kong film market at that time was only 1 billion Hong Kong dollars...

The most important thing is that the Hong Kong box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" did not reach 15 million Hong Kong dollars!

Moreover, Hong Kong filmmakers did not have a high opinion of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

It's normal. The label of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is martial arts and Jianghu. The Chinese talk about Jianghu, which is hiding in the city, escaping into the world, but not afraid of the world, because Jianghu is in the heart.

Tsui Hark's martial arts emphasizes the pleasure of revenge and the night rain of Jianghu!

It is "grand ambitions and hegemony are in the jokes, but it is not as good as a drunkenness in the world"!

Back to the promotion...

In Shen Liang's opinion, the biggest competitor of "Shushan: Origin" is "Investiture of the Gods Part 1"...

Regarding the release date of these two movies, "Shushan" was officially announced in advance last year and will be released on July 20 this year!

At that time, "Investiture of the Gods" was still in the unfinished stage...

——Beiwen had an accident and transferred the investment rights of "Investiture of the Gods"... No one took over!

Later, Maoyan teamed up with Tencent to take over the distribution

However, the theater chain expected this play to be 500 to 800 million, which does not pose a threat to "Shushan"!

In fact, everyone thinks that the biggest competitor of "Shushan" is "Superpower Family" which will be released on July 21st...
