Chapter 1163 Power on
Chapter 1163 is on
In "The Grandmaster", Jiang Xia will play Ip Man himself, his wife Zhang Yongcheng, and Jiang Xia asked He Ying to play.
There are not many scenes, similar to cameos.
The main role was all given to Gong Shan.
"You want to act from your twenties to your forties, can you perform?" Jiang Xia asked.
Gong Shan said: "It depends on your directing ability, I don't know if I can do it." ”
"It should be fine. Jiang Xia said, "I believe in you." ”
"I believe it too. Gong Shan said with a smile.
After thanking the people here, Gong Shan and Jiang Xia left the school and flew directly to Guangdong Province.
Jiang Xia's filming of "The Grandmaster" this time, the last glory of the martial arts masters in that environment, is a very emotional work.
With the full support of Qianqiu Pictures, it is impossible for Jiangxia's crew to go smoothly.
At the end of August, all the people arrived in Guangdong Province.
Jiang Xia is not sure what the time of the whole shooting is, but there are snow scenes in the movie, which are definitely not what can be shot now, so he can only shoot shots that do not require snow scenes.
This time, Jiang Xia chose the same approach as Wong Kar-wai, without any advance preparation, and even Gong Shan had not read the script in Jiang Xia's hand.
Jiang Xia sent the actors some background information about the main characters, but the actors didn't know anything about the lines of the script.
Everyone gathered, and the reporters lined up the entire start-up press conference scene.
Jiangxia's new movie was launched, and it was the first domestic movie more than ten years later, and a large number of stars were invited, and all of them were powerful actors.
All the actors who were determined to play at the beginning were all thrown to the martial arts school to learn seriously.
The shortest stayed in for eight months.
For the sake of the effect of the movie and the standard of action, Jiang Xia requires all actors who have action scenes to learn.
Directors like Ding Yiyi, who are busy filming, learn martial arts with the action directors of the crew during their spare time, and they add up to half a year.
This is still Ding Yiyi's not many scenes, there are not too many martial arts scenes, and he is also older, so he is allowed to study like this.
Since the original "The City with Golden Armor", Jiang Xia has never made such a formal martial arts film, not to mention that the real focus of "The Grandmaster" is kung fu, which is real hard kung fu, not something that can be dealt with with with at will twice in "The City is Full of Golden Armor".
At the start-up press conference, Jiang Xia still didn't say a word.
Gong Shan became the target of a siege by reporters.
Since Jiang Xia answered that question in the Chinese drama in June, Gong Shan has not really appeared to face reporters.
I have met reporters at the event, but they were all slid over by Gong Shan.
Now, there is no way to avoid it.
Reporter: "Teacher Gong Shan, what do you want to say about this movie?"
Gong Shan: "I don't know, I haven't read the script yet. ”
Reporter: "You haven't read the script?"
Gong Shan: "Yes, I haven't read the script, not only I haven't read it, but the rest of the crew hasn't read the script either, this time the director is very strict in secrecy, except for him, no one has read the script." ”
Reporter: "Do you know what story is told?"
Gong Shan: "I know it in general, but I don't know it specifically." Actually, you don't have to guess what the story is, no matter what kind of story it is, it will be released in the end, and you will know when the time comes. ”
Reporter: "We heard that Director Jiang wrote this movie for the sake of your relationship with him, is it true?"
Gong Shan: "Ah? I don't know? I didn't read the script. ”
……
No matter how the reporter interviewed, Gong Shan said that she didn't know anything, she really didn't know anything, she only knew that the role she played was Gong Er.
What is the fate of Miss Gong Er, Jiang Xia wrote a small biography to Gong Shan.
But Gong Shan definitely wouldn't say it, and when he was interviewed, he pushed it to Jiang Xia, saying that he didn't know.
The reporters also tried to interview Jiang Xia, but Jiang Xia just glared at the reporter and ignored the reporter, and the reporters had to go to interview others.
After the camera was actually turned on, Jiang Xia didn't shoot his own shots first.
He also had to learn a little from the master of Wing Chun to become familiar with the tricks.
Jiang Xia filmed a first-line scene, that is, the role played by Zhang Zhen in the original version.
It is difficult to imitate the taste of Wong Kar-wai.
That is, Jiang Xia has made so many movies now, with extraordinary keen intuition and extraordinary lens perception, so he dares to shoot "The Grandmaster".
The atmosphere of the whole movie is oppressive and solemn.
This is different from all the movies made by Jiang Xia in the past, even if it is a movie like "V Vendtle", it is not all depressing, but also has its warmth and relaxation, such as the part where V is cooking.
"The Grandmaster" is different, the whole atmosphere, from beginning to end, is depressing in that environment.
The general environment of the times is overwhelming.
Kung Fu is too limited to what can be done.
A rain scene at the beginning of the film, a fight scene in the rain, Jiang Xia didn't dare to shoot easily, his Wing Chun tricks haven't learned to a certain extent, and in the case of not wanting to use a stand-in, he is self-directed and self-acting, filming this section is too difficult and too difficult to touch.
The start-up of "The Grandmaster" has attracted a lot of attention.
Fans around the world are paying attention to Jiang Xia's first movie after returning to China, which is still a traditional Chinese kung fu film, which is even more concerned.
Kung Fu is a business card of China.
The filmmaker is Jiang Xia again, and it will be more than ten years later, starring in this movie for the first time, which is enough to see the importance that Jiang Xia attaches to this movie.
However, the news of "The Grandmaster" has only been popular for a week.
After actually joining the group for filming, Jiangxia's crew refused anyone's visit and filmed silently in Foshan.
Because Ip Man is from Foshan, Jiang Xia also came to Foshan to film.
There will be many filming locations throughout the movie, and the two most important locations are Xiangjiang and the other is the three eastern provinces.
What silenced the news of "The Grandmaster" was naturally the release date of "The Matrix".
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part II)" ended its global release, earning a new high of $1.57 billion at the box office.
The entire eight-part "Harry Potter" series has a box office of 9.6 billion, which is only $400 million from the 10 billion mark, which is an extremely terrifying achievement.
However, this news is far less shocking than the release of "The Matrix".
A super blockbuster more than ten years ago is finally about to be released?
Many people are excited, what is the secret of this blockbuster that has been hidden for a long time, the last movie before Jiangxia is away from China?
The trailer has not come out yet, only the stills of that year have been sent out again.
Looking at Jiang Xia when he was young, not to mention others, even Jiang Xia himself, was very embarrassed.
Sigh again, the years are not forgiving.
