actor return

Chapter 540
Ning Yuan didn't want to provoke Zhang Yimou and test his bottom line because he had nothing to fear, it was just for this movie and hoped it would be better.

Zhang Yimou also saw this, and understood that Ning Yuan was discussing the facts, including when Ning Yuan was arguing, he proceeded from the plot, logic, and perception from beginning to end. After calming down, he thought carefully and felt that what Ning Yuan said was indeed reasonable.

If you think about it together, naturally there is no grudge.

In fact, Ning Yuan didn't understand, Wang Bin, the screenwriter who adapted the movie "To Live", and Li Feng, the screenwriter of "Heroes", plus Zhang Yimou, how did the three of them come to "House of Flying Daggers" to collectively drop their wits.

What left the audience speechless most at the time was the little girl played by Zhang Wuyi, who fell into the arms of Jin Butou, breathed, opened her eyes, died again, opened her eyes again... The scene of dying and dying was repeated four times, and later directly became It's a stalk, and it is often turned out to make fun of it.

Other than that, there was no foreshadowing, and Jin Datou and Xiaomei fell in love with each other.That's fine, the most outrageous thing is that when he was tortured to extract a confession before, Catcher Liu still looked fierce to the little girl, and the next second he began to fall in love again, which can be called dog blood.

This is a failure in terms of character design and plot, and in terms of structure, it is almost what the audience wants to see...no, what the audience doesn't want to see...to the death.

For example, at the beginning of the film, a few lines of words appeared on the screen, even if it briefly explained the time and place of the story, but about the main background of the film, the entanglement between Feidaomen and the government was briefly mentioned.

In normal thinking, the audience imagined that Feidaomen should have had a life-and-death battle with the government, but before they figured out what was going on, the scene changed to the scene of Liu Tutou and Jin Tutou drinking and chatting together, making the People feel baffled.

But this time there is no Jin Chengwu, and naturally there is no Jin Butou, but Ning Butou.

And they do this, anti-anticipation coquettish operation, who will you not attack?
Of course, this movie made money in the end. After all, the global box office grossed more than 9000 million U.S. dollars, and it was just word of mouth and Zhang Yimou's reputation accumulated through the previous few movies.

If it weren't for the huge reputation and influence of the previous "Hero", as well as Zhang Yimou's personal signature, and the fame of the three leading actors, if someone else made this movie, let alone 9000 million, there would be a question mark if there was 900 million. And it's Huaxia currency.

Even if it is 900 million, it is estimated that most of it is because of the picture.

After seeing the beautiful pictures of Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and tasted the sweetness of "Hero", Lao Mouzi disappeared forever in terms of atmosphere and beauty, and "Golden Armor" a few years later , is his pinnacle in scale and style.

If Ning Yuan didn't feel that this story was a good idea, let alone Zhang Yimou came to him, even if Liubimov came to him to shoot, he would not agree, it would be a waste of reputation.

Although this film made money, the bad results did not appear immediately, and would continue to the subsequent films, because everyone suddenly realized that his films were not all high-quality goods, and they were no longer so impulsive before buying tickets.

However, this made the screenwriter complain endlessly, and scolded Ning Yuan bloody behind his back.

But in the face of Ning Yuan's logic of presenting facts and reasoning, they can only change their minds and change their minds.

And Ning Yuan also understood why this movie is so different from Zhang Yimou's before in the process of communication——

It turns out that Zhou Xingchi has become more and more popular in the mainland in recent years, especially "Kung Fu Football", which also made Zhang Yimou and the others think, how about changing the style and trying to cross borders?

Try it and try it, so this thing came out.

No wonder.

Ning Yuan said in his heart: "No wonder we changed the way we used to. This time we approached Liu Dehua from Xiangjiang and Takeshi Kaneshiro from Baodao, not only because of their charisma, but also through their original voices with accents to create a sense of alienation, and The exaggeration and jumping in the creation of the plot."

This is indeed the sign of Zhou Xingchi.

And when it comes to alienation, isn't this the core of Brecht's acting theory?

Thinking about Zhang Yimou inviting himself, probably... He also saw the good guy in Sichuan Province, and he was also inspired in some way.

As for the previous life, although no one played the good guy in Sichuan Province to make him notice, at least Zhou Xingchi is still there.

In addition to being filmed in China, this movie is in Zhuhai, Chongqing Province, and in Ukraine.

There are mainly two locations in Ukraine, one is a jungle in the forest park, which is a key protected area, because some international directors use this as a location, let Zhang Yimou know, and choose this place.

However, because it is a key protected area, the local government is relatively strict and will not allow it if something is wrong. Fortunately, Ningyuan found a relationship with Liubimov before allowing them to shoot, but he also promised to protect it well and not destroy it.

In addition, Ningyuan's Russian is also useful here. Although the Soviet Union has disintegrated for many years, it is only 12 years ago, and most of them can speak it.

This made Ning Yuan murmur in his heart at the time, couldn't this be planned by Lao Mouzi, right?Looking for yourself to shoot three birds with one stone?
As for another location in Ukraine, I searched for it as early as spring, and rented a piece of land with special money. In spring, I hired a group of farmers to plant sunflowers.

Now in July and August, it is the time of maturity, a piece of golden color, beautiful and dazzling under the sunlight.

The filming abroad went smoothly, and they came back at the end of August after more than a month.

Ning Yuan asked for a day off, made a meal for Ning Yan at home, and then asked someone to send him to school—this time Ning Yuan didn’t want Ning Yan’s peaceful college life to be broken, including himself. Ning Yuan sent.

Ning Yan did not choose to go to school, but lived on campus, and only came over on weekends.

It is worth mentioning that Ning Yu, she followed all the way this time, saying that she understood the filming of the film, but in fact, she also acted as Ning Yuan's life assistant, taking care of Ning Yuan's life.Although Ning Yuan didn't want her to be troubled, she was willing to do so herself.

Then, they moved to the mountain city of Yu Province to film the scene of Bamboo Sea.

Many exterior scenes need to look at the seasons. For example, winter is withering everywhere, and it is impossible to shoot a piece of bright green color.

They were in a hurry, just wanting to take pictures of the best side of the bamboo sea in midsummer, including sunflowers in Ukraine.

In his previous life, when Zhang Yimou took pictures of sunflowers in Ukraine, he waited for several months until the domestic filming was finished, because it was only when the sunflowers bloomed.

The location was a disadvantage, but compared with Ning Yuan's previous filming of "The Mountain", it was much better, even if it was much better than when he was filming "Caribbean".

Of course, their difficulty does not lie in this. Although Liu Dehua has filmed many martial arts scenes, but this time many of them are close-up scenes, which are more demanding, and he is over [-] years old, so it is naturally more laborious, which makes him complain of back pain every day. .

But even so, he never came late and left early. For example, when the filming started at nine o'clock, he arrived at the set at eight o'clock.

And although Zhang Wuyi has filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" before, she was sharpened by Ang Lee's strict requirements, and she has a foundation in dance. .

Because of this comparison, everyone also understands that Ning Yuan seems to have been lucky enough to go to the United States to shoot blockbuster movies, but he also needs to have that kind of strength. This kind of energy and skill alone is not something ordinary people have.

Of course, in terms of these alone, many action actors are also good, but he also has acting skills, which are more substitutable than Andy Lau's Hong Kong pop. The combination of the two is not easy.

After shooting these exterior scenes, they returned to the capital to shoot interior scenes, such as the Peony Square, which cost several million to build.
