Ning Yuan didn't have the courage to provoke Zhang Yimou and try his bottom line, just for the sake of this movie, hoping it would be better.

Zhang Yimou also saw this, and understood that Ning Yuan was talking about things, including when Ning Yuan was arguing, he started from the plot, logic, and perception from beginning to end, and calmed down afterwards, he pondered it carefully, and felt that what Ning Yuan said was indeed reasonable.

When you think about it together, there is naturally nothing to be afraid of.

In fact, Ning Yuan couldn't understand how Wang Bin, the screenwriter who could adapt the movie "Alive", and Li Feng, the screenwriter of "Hero", plus Zhang Yimou, how did they get to "Ambush on All Sides" to collectively reduce their intelligence.

What made the audience speechless the most at that time was the little sister played by Zhang Wuyi, who fell into the arms of Jin Zhutou, swallowed her breath, opened her eyes, swallowed her breath again, and opened her eyes again...... The bridge that died and came back to life four times repeatedly became a stalk and was often turned out and ridiculed.

In addition, there was no foreshadowing, so Jin Zhutou and Xiaomei fell in love. Forget it, the most outrageous thing is that when he was tortured to extract a confession before, Liu Zhutou was still fierce to his little sister, and the next second he began to fall in love again, which can be called blood.

This is a failure in 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 watch...... Poured into the dead.

For example, at the beginning of the film, a few lines appeared on the screen, even if the time and place of the story were briefly explained, but about the main background of the movie, the entanglement between the flying knife gate and the government was brushed aside.

In normal thinking, the audience imagined that Feidaomen should have had a life-and-death battle with the government, but before they could figure out what was going on, the picture turned to the scene of Liu Zhutou and Jin Zhutou drinking and chatting together, which made people feel inexplicable.

However, this time there is no Jin Chengwu, and naturally there is no Jin Zhutou, but Ning Zhutou.

And they are doing this, anti-expectation of the sassy operation, who do you not pounce?

Of course, this movie made money in the end, after all, the global box office was more than 90 million US dollars, and it was only word of mouth and the reputation that Zhang Yimou had saved through his previous films.

If it weren't for the huge prestige and influence of the previous "Hero", as well as Zhang Yimou's personal signboard and the fame of the three leading actors, if it weren't for the fact that someone else would make this movie, let alone 90 million, there would be a question mark if there were 9 million, and it would be Huaxia coins.

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

saw the beautiful picture of Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and tasted the sweetness of "Hero", Lao Mouzi was gone forever in terms of atmosphere and beauty, and a few years later "Golden Armor" was his peak in scale and style.

If it weren't for Ning Yuan who felt that this story was funny, not to mention that Zhang Yimou came to him, even if Liubi Mov came to him to shoot, he wouldn't agree, it would be too reputational.

Although this one made money, the evil consequences did not appear immediately, and will continue to the following movies, because everyone suddenly realized that his movies were not all high-quality products, and he was no longer so impulsive before buying tickets.

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

But in the face of Ning Yuan's logic of reasoning with facts, they could only change their heads.

And Ning Yuan also understood why this movie was so different from Zhang Yimou's previous movies in the process of communication-

It turned 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 think about it, why not change the style and try it across borders?

Try it, try it, and that's how this thing came out.

No wonder.

Ning Yuanxin said: "No wonder I changed the way I used to do it in the past, this time I found Liu Dehua from Xiangjiang and Takeshi Kaneshiro from Baodao, not only because of their appeal, but also through their original voices with accents to form a sense of discord, as well as the exaggeration and jump of the plot in creation." ”

This is indeed the hallmark of Zhou Xingchi.

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

Thinking of Zhang Yimou's invitation to himself again, probably ...... He also looked at the good people of Sichuan Province and was also inspired by some kind.

As for his previous life, although no one played a good person in Sichuan Province for him to notice, Zhou Xingchi was at least still there.

In addition to filming in China, that is, Zhuhai in Chongqing Province, this movie is also Ukraine.

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

However, because it is a key protected area, the local government is relatively strict, and it is not allowed if it is slightly inappropriate, but fortunately, Ning Yuan found a relationship with Liubimov to allow them to shoot, but it also ensures that it is well protected and not damaged.

In addition, Ningyuan's Russian also comes in handy here, although it has been many years since the collapse of the Soviet Union, it is only twelve years ago, and most of them can be spoken.

This made Ning Yuan muttered in his heart at the time, wouldn't this be the old man's calculation?

Another location in Ukraine was found as early as spring, and a group of farmers were hired to grow sunflowers in the spring.

Now in July and August, it is the time of ripeness, and a golden color is beautiful and dazzling in the sun.

The shooting abroad went well, and after more than a month, at the end of August, they returned.

Ning Yuan took a day off, and after cooking a meal for Ning Yan at home, he found someone to send him to school - this time Ning Yuan didn't want Ning Yan's peaceful college life to be broken, including himself, he thought so and didn't let Ning Yuan send it.

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 movie, and in fact, she also acted as Ning Yuan's life assistant and took care of Ning Yuan's life. Although Ning Yuan didn't want her to be burdened, she was willing to do it herself.

Then, they moved to the mountain city of Chongqing Province to shoot the scene of Zhuhai.

Many exterior scenes need to look at the season, such as winter, where they wither everywhere, and you can't shoot a dazzling piece of turquoise.

They hurried and hurried, just to take pictures of the best side of Zhuhai in the middle of summer, including the sunflowers in Ukraine.

In his previous life, when Zhang Yimou photographed Ukrainian sunflowers, he waited for a few months, and he didn't go until the domestic filming was finished, because it was only when the sunflowers bloomed.

The location is very disadvantaged, but compared with Ning Yuan's previous filming of "That Mountain", it is much better, even if it is much better than when he filmed "Caribbean".

Of course, their difficulty is not here, although Liu Dehua has filmed a lot of martial arts, but this time many of them are close-ups, which are more demanding, and he is also over forty years old, so it is naturally more laborious, making him cry about back pain every day.

But even so, he didn't arrive late and leave early once, such as starting filming at nine o'clock, and he arrived on the set at eight o'clock.

And although Zhang Wuyi has filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" before, she has been sharpened by Ang Lee's strict requirements, and she has a dance foundation, this time she also tossed her enough, every time she saw Ning Yuan with ease, she was envious to death.

Because of this comparison, everyone also understands that Ning Yuan seems to have taken shit to the United States to make blockbusters, but he also has to have that strength, and this kind of energy and skill alone is not something that ordinary people have.

Of course, talking about these alone, many action actors are okay, but he still has acting skills, which can be substituted more than Liu Dehua's Gangpu, and it is not easy to add the two.

After filming these exterior scenes, they returned to the capital to shoot interior scenes, such as the peony workshop that cost millions to build.
