China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

During the filming of a general movie, the script, plot, stills, etc. will be strictly confidential, but from time to time some news will be released to attract media attention and leave some impression on the audience.

What is often used is naturally the scandal between the male and female protagonists.

However, Jiang Heng rarely uses this trick. The only selling point and label of his film is special effects.

And because there is currently no other director in China who can shoot a special effects blockbuster that is both well-received and popular, the first reaction of the audience to special effects is Jiang Heng, and this concept is almost bound.

Therefore, Jiang Heng's movies in China do not have to worry about publicity problems at all, and naturally he is too lazy to use "hype" techniques.

But what he did not expect was that not long after the filming of "Zhu Xian" started, the scandal between him and Jing Tian spread.

First, someone broke the news on Tianya Forum, and it was immediately reported by some small media, and then it was spread everywhere and became a sensation.

But despite the lively media reports, there were no photos of Jiang Heng and Jing Tian behaving intimately. The so-called evidence was mostly the so-called revelations and inferences of the crew members.

The first piece of evidence is that Jiang Heng was too good to Jing Tian. He chose a woman who couldn't act as the heroine and joked about the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. Jiang Heng was also the first person in the Chinese entertainment industry.

The second is that Jiang Heng has a very good temper. Jing Tian almost needs the director to explain and demonstrate in every scene. If it were someone else, he would have scolded her long ago.

Jiang Heng was very patient in explaining and teaching. If it was said that there was no relationship between the two, no one would believe it!

Then, someone broke the news on Tianya Forum.

It was said that the reason why Jing Tian became the heroine was not because she was dating Jiang Heng, but because she had capital support and tens of millions of dollars invested. No one could scold her like a little actor!

However, people didn't believe the revelations that were so close to the truth. The audience preferred to read the gossip news about Director Jiang.

Young, rich, and a big director, why not have more gossip?

We have to learn from Brother Cheng Long!

In Hengdian, the crew of "Zhu Xian" has finished shooting the indoor scenes, packed up and prepared to go out for outdoor shooting.

The first stop is Longhu Mountain, where they will shoot the battle scenes in Caomiao Village.

Because it does not involve Biyao, Jing Tian does not need to follow the crew for more than ten days.

Da Tiantian has been away from Beijing for too long, so she plans to go back and stay for two days before joining the crew.

Before leaving, she generously treated the whole crew to hot pot.

As a result, everyone thanked them, especially the young actors and staff, who secretly talked about it, saying that it would be good if Jing Tian was with Director Jiang, at least the boss lady was very generous and willing to spend money.

Jing Tian naturally knew that there was a scandal outside, and he was very happy.

He wanted to ask Jiang Heng if he knew, but he was afraid that he would say something bad, so he was a little nervous.

In addition, there were many people in the crew, and there was not much time to be alone, so he dared not ask randomly.

Da Tiantian left the crew temporarily with her worries, but she said that the Zhu Xian crew first went to the foot of Longhu Mountain and went to the pre-determined village to shoot the "Cao Miao Village" battle scene.

This is the first major fight scene at the beginning of the movie, and the description in the book is very exciting.

Many people were attracted by this scene and read the whole book.

But when the previous "Qing Yun Zhi" was filmed, I don’t know what the crew thought. Master Puzhi was obviously a monk, but he was dressed as a Taoist priest during the filming. Isn’t this just asking for trouble?

There is nothing interesting about the fight scene. Monk Puzhi didn’t even use the "Six-Character Great Bright Mantra".

Yes, after all, he was dressed as a Taoist priest, and using the "Six-Character Great Bright Mantra" would be even more inconsistent.

In Jiang Heng’s version, the opening scene must follow the original work. Not only must the "Six-Character Great Bright Mantra" be filmed, but the super-burning and super-cool "Divine Sword and Thunder Control True Secret" must also be perfectly interpreted.

The audience must feel that the ticket price is worth it after watching the opening fight scene.

At the shooting site, the staff was busy setting up. Zhao Wenzhuo, who played Master Puzhi, looked at the storyboard in his hand and sighed.

Director Jiang's work was too meticulous. The script was drawn like a comic. What posture, gestures, and eyes he should use were all on the script.

Yu Rongguang, who played Taoist Cangsong, was also a veteran actor with good acting skills and first-class kung fu.

He praised while watching, "Director Jiang's level, he can become famous as a cartoonist without making movies. Look at this close-up. Wow, I'll try to pass it in one take later!"

"I'm sure there's no problem!" Zhao Wenzhuo said proudly.

"Then there's even less problem for me!" Yu Rongguang laughed, "I'm really looking forward to this movie. The magic sword controls the thunder. There's no such cool shot in Chinese movies. It's worth it for me to act in it!"

Zhao Wenzhuo listened and thought about it carefully. It's true.

There are also scenes of thunder bombardment in "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother", but it's the seal of Taoshan that is taking effect.

"The Secret of Divine Sword Controlling Thunder" is that a mortal can trigger heavenly thunder to attack his opponent, and he happens to be the one who gets struck.

"Hey!" Zhao Wenzhuo sighed and smiled helplessly.

Yu Rongguang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Perform well, this will be a classic shot in film history!"

Zhao Wenzhuo thought for a while and said: "Of course!"

After a while, the sky darkened, and the two of them tied up the coercion and officially started filming.

The Taoist Cangsong played by Yu Rongguang had a child under his ribs. Zhao Wenzhuo flew over with the help of the coercion and fought with Yu Rongguang.

These actions were designed by Yuande, and the biggest feature is that they are swift and fierce.

Then the scene of Monk Puzhi being poisoned by the seven-colored centipede and talking to Taoist Cangsong was not difficult for the two of them, and they passed it in one take.

Then there is the scene where Monk Puzhi performs the "Six-Character Great Bright Mantra". The script describes it as follows: Puzhi shouted loudly, his robes fluttered, and he exerted force with his left hand to break the jade rosary. A dozen crystal clear beads rotated in the air, each emitting green light and floating in front of him.

A dark purple round bead fell straight down, and Puzhi turned his palm and grabbed it in his hand. He made the left and right water bottle seals with both hands, his eyes wide open, and his whole body was covered with golden light, like a golden arhat descending to the world, and he recited word by word: "Yama, Ma, Ni, Ba, Mi, Moo"

For Zhao Wenzhuo, who has shot "Great Power Heavenly Dragon, Great Luo Mantra, Prajna Buddhas...", this shot is simply too easy, and it was passed in one take.

Of course, Zhao Wenzhuo shot the version without special effects on the spot, which looks a bit awkward, but the momentum is very good, and the cast and crew on the scene still admire it very much.

"Teacher Wenzhuo is amazing, he is worthy of being a veteran actor, he acted really well!"

"Yeah, it's a pity that martial arts movies are declining now, otherwise he should play the leading role." Several staff members whispered.

Then, it was the scene where Yu Rongguang played the Taoist Cangsong as a man in black.

He pulled out the long sword behind him with a backhand "swish", hummed, held the sword formula in his hand, stepped on the seven stars, took seven steps in a row, and the long sword suddenly pierced the sky, chanting:

"Nine Heavens Mysterious Break, turned into divine thunder. The magnificent power of heaven, guided by the sword!"

There will be close-up shots of the long sword in post-production.

At the same time, there will be rolling clouds, rumbling thunder, flashing lightning, and strong winds.

Zhao Wenzhuo exclaimed, "The true formula of divine sword controlling thunder, are you a disciple of Qingyun?"
