Chapter 575: The Water Monster Has No Branch

Wu Jing is actually quite related to "Monkey", people in this world know that he filmed "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace".

But what many people don't know is that when he first debuted, he also made a movie called "Drunken Monkey", which tells a funny action movie about monkey boxing.

The film is basically a routine of "Drunken Fist" + "Mad Monkey", directed by Liu Jialiang. It's a pity that the time is already 2003, and the previous routines have long been outdated, and they didn't attract much attention back then.

Later, when Wu Jing filmed "The Return of the Great Sage", many viewers were uncomfortable at first, thinking that Wu Jing could play a good monkey. However, when "Havoc in Heaven" arrived, it was quite recognized.

And he made a cameo appearance in "Dayu Controls the Water", and many people also guessed the role he played, the water demon Wuzhiqi, the Huaishui monster in Chinese mythology.

According to historical records such as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", it is a strange demon in the period of Yao Shunyu, who once made a disturbance when Dayu controlled the water. In ancient books and folklore, he is a demon fairy and a monster, who often suffers from Jianghuai and harms the people. According to the research and analysis of many scholars, Wuzhi Qi is the prototype of the Monkey King.

However, as far as the prototype of the Monkey King is concerned, some people think that it should be the Indian monkey Hanuman.

Mr. Hu Shi once said: I always suspect that this powerful monkey is not a domestic product, but an imported from India. He believes that the plot of Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace in "Journey to the West" is adapted from the "Battle of Ranga City" in "Ramayana".

To be honest, from an emotional point of view, the Chinese people are a little unacceptable. Chinese people are more willing to believe Lu Xun's statement: the prototype of Sun Wukong is the Huai Whirlpool water god Wuzhi Qi who surrendered when Dayu controlled the water.

Legend has it that in order to control the flood, Dayu went to Tongbai Mountain three times. However, every time Tongbai Mountain was violently windy, lightning and thunder roared, mountains and rocks screamed, and trees roared. There is an invisible tyrannical force that prevents Yu from starting to control the water.

Dayu was very angry, so he called a meeting of the gods and the leaders of the tribes, and asked Kui Long to sweep away the demons.

At this time, the leaders of Tongbai Mountain and the nearby tribes, fearing that the two sides would fight and harm themselves, were all afraid, and begged Dayu to withdraw the order to eliminate the demon.

Dayu locked up all these people, only to know that the monster they were harboring was the Huai Whirlpool Water Monster - Wuzhiqi.

Wuzhiqi looks like an ape, with a shrunken nose and a high forehead, a green body and a white head, and golden eyes and snow teeth. When his neck was extended, it seemed to be a hundred feet long, and his strength was greater than that of a nine-headed elephant. Whether it's fighting, jumping, or running, he's so fast that he often can't see in the blink of an eye.

The two sides launched a fierce battle at the foot of Tongbai Mountain, and Dayu successively sent various generals, all of whom could not be defeated without support. In the end, Gengchen (also said to be Ying Long) was sent to fight and captured Wuzhiqi.

Dayu ordered people to lock the neck of Wuzhiqi with a big iron chain, and put a copper bell on his nostrils, and then pressed him at the foot of the turtle mountain on the south side of the Huai River, so that the water control work could be carried out smoothly, and the Huaishui entered the sea safely from then on.

Many myths and stories are a little confused about the elaboration of this paragraph, and it is also said that Dayu incarnated as a black bear and fought with Wuzhiqi. It's a bit like in Journey to the West, Wukong vs. Xiong Monster. But here, it is Dayu who wins and takes Wuzhiqi down.

And in this play, for the sake of foiling the protagonist, it is also necessary to use Dayu to incarnate as a black bear and fight to win the plot of Wuzhiqi.

said that on this day, the plot of Dayu leading a group of tribal leaders, gods and generals to fight with Wuzhiqi was finally filmed.

According to the description in the script, the battlefield is at the foot of Tongbai Mountain, on the shore of Huaishui. But at the moment, it can only be in the studio, and the mountains and rivers all rely on adding special effects in post-production.

In this scene, Dayu played by Lu Lin will first send several tribal leaders to face Wuzhiqi. First use these people to set off the bravery of Wuzhiqi, and then defeat Wuzhiqi through Dayu to show Dayu's strength.

is different from other characters in the play, Wu Jing plays Wuzhiqi. The appearance is basically a monkey, so he needs post-production special effects, not on-set makeup.

So on the set, he was wearing a motion capture equipment suit, with fluorescent green dots painted on his face, an information expression collector on his head, and a prop iron rod in his hand.

Like Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West" and Yuan Hong in "Romance of the Gods", in this play, Wuzhiqi, who is also a monkey monster, also uses a stick. And Dayu uses a giant axe that usually opens the mountain.

The specific fight process is that Dayu incarnated as a black bear and fought with Wuzhiqi, but this Wuzhiqi was too flexible, and the huge "black bear" used a super giant axe that could split mountains to fight a little clumsy, and was knocked down by Wuzhiqi's axe.

Dayu also incarnated into a human form and fell to the ground, seeing that no branch Qi came, Dayu hurriedly remembered the stator obtained from the Jade Emperor to detect the depth of the river and sea, so he took it out and turned it into two lengths and shorts, the thickness of the bowl, and used it as a stick in his hand.

At this moment, with the exclusive BGM, it is a beautiful Jedi counter-kill, and no one can win the protagonist in the protagonist's BGM.

Dayu used the Dinghaishen needle a few times to beat the iron rod in Wuzhiqi's hand and bent it was unusable.

Wuzhi Qi lost the blade in his hand, and his combat power was more than half. was smashed on the head by Dayu and fell to the ground, and was held by many tribal leaders watching the battle below.

The plot is such a plot for the time being, but it's quite troublesome when filming. It sounds simple, but it's not easy to shoot.

is mainly in terms of actors, because the salary of celebrities has risen too fast in the past two years. People are busy making money everywhere, and there are a lot fewer second- and third-tier artists who come to make cameos.

Due to cost considerations, Lu Lin can only use some actors with average acting foundations. But many of these people's performances will not meet Lu Lin's requirements, so Lu Lin can only play them once and let them do what they play, in fact, many of Xingye's movies are made like this.

Some people will be surprised why so many supporting roles can be said to shine with dazzling brilliance in Xingye's movies, but once they leave, they will be nothing and nothing.

That's because they almost always play Xing Ye according to Xing Ye's requirements, but after leaving, they go to other crews, who cares about you?

The director may say, what kind of expression do you make, I think it's almost better.

But when Xing Ye is filming, he will take it seriously, and then you let you perform according to what he just played, which is also a reason why many people are reluctant to cooperate with newcomers.

Especially some big names, everyone has a temper, so you can act?

said that Lu Lin filmed, and many times it would be like this. If anyone can't perform what he wants, he will perform himself and let the other party follow suit.

It's just that he will pay attention to communication, plus there are too many resources, and the upward momentum is in full swing, so he has not been resisted by others.
