Wu Jing does not appear in many scenes in "New Shaolin Temple", and it is very scattered, and the role is the elder brother Jingneng.

His role is probably to show the awesomeness of the warrior monk, and also to set off the ferocity of King Xie Qiu - he was killed by King Xie Qi...

This one, of course, was cut into the trailer...

To be honest, it is understandable that "The True Colors of a Man" asked Wu Jing to play a villain, after all, at that time, he was only a slightly well-known action actor in Hong Kong, but when filming "New Shaolin Temple", "Huang Feihong" had already been released, and Wu Jing's identity and status were already worlds apart from before, so why not ask him to play this kind of supporting role, right?

But people asked Wu Jing so bluntly to play a supporting role for King Xie Qi!

I can't help it, I owe people a favor, and I have to pay it back!

Besides, Wu Jing himself is famous because of "Tai Chi Grandmaster", and Zhang Xinyan, the director of "Tai Chi Grandmaster", is the director of the original "Shaolin Temple", and Wu Jing starred in the TV series "New Shaolin Temple", "South Shaolin", and "South Shaolin Thirty-six Rooms" are all directed by Zhang Xinyan!

It can be said that Director Zhang is Wu Jing's nobleman.

Director Zhang also owns the copyright of "Shaolin Temple", if this "New Shaolin Temple" can be a big seller, presumably Director Zhang will also have dividends...

Even if it is for this reason, Wu Jing will appear in "New Shaolin Temple".

However, these behind-the-scenes things are not easy to talk about in front of the stage.

“… I have always liked the film and television dramas with the theme of Shaolin Temple, Director Chen found me and told me about this story and my role, I liked it a lot, so I took it..."

Wu Jing followed the pace of the eldest brother Cheng, and the eldest brother Cheng praised the script very well, so he also followed suit!

In fact, who knows what the movie is like?

In the past six months, Wu Jing has been busy like a dog, two movies, a variety show, and the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala - he hasn't reconciled with Sister Nan's yin and yang for a long time...

How can you still have time to watch a movie!

……

Huayi has only been on the market since it was launched, and it has begun to shoot blockbusters one after another!

This is good.

It's not ironic, if filmmakers want to progress, they do need a bunch of blockbusters, and relying on small-budget movies alone is not a thing after all.

It's a pity that the Wang brothers are still too impatient, and their steps are too fast, and people don't use RMB as a unit to make movies now, but directly use US dollars!

The cost of "Tangshan Earthquake" is close to 20 million US dollars, this Feng Xiaogang has the ability, and it is enough to protect the capital with the domestic market; the investment of 25 million US dollars in "New Shaolin Temple", "Happy Magic", "Starry Sky", "Global Love", three obviously niche movies, they are also willing to spend $10 million on each of them!

Anyway, it's the shareholder's money that is spent...

I don't think about whether the domestic market can swallow these three types of movies at present!

"New Shaolin Temple" tells the story of the warlord melee era, Hou Jie, who was born as a warlord, escaped into the empty door after experiencing the pain of Cao Man's betrayal and the separation of his wife, and worked with the monks to protect the victims and the Shaolin Temple who were injured in the war...

This is the main plot.

To be honest, this plot is quite innovative, mixing the Shaolin Temple with the warlords, and "Let the Bullets Fly" some time ago set off a wave of Republic of China style, presumably the movie should not be too bad...

Well, probably!

The movie begins.

The opening scene is a big scene in the air, after the warlord scuffle, the people are struggling to make a living, and the Shaolin disciples go down the mountain to save people...

In other words, this movie really has "Shaolin Temple" involved, by the way, Mr. Shi Yongxin is the producer of this film.

We definitely have no way to know what kind of story director Chen Musheng was originally going to tell, but what is presented to the audience is to elevate the image of Shaolin Temple to the level of Bethune!

A group of monks is simply Taizu's communist fighters' 'a noble man, a pure man, a moral man, a man who is detached from low tastes, a man who is beneficial to the people...'

Not to mention opening a warehouse to release grain, he also took out his own place for the people to live in...

Everyone knows that 'troubled times: monks close their doors to avoid disaster, and Taoist priests go down the mountain to save people. Shengshi: Taoist priests return to seclusion and cultivation, monks open the door to circle money'...

……

"Shaolin Temple" was popular all over the country at the beginning, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a national movie!

That's because Li Lianjie is really kung fu!

When it comes to "New Shaolin Temple", if you promote real kung fu, the two protagonists are both masters of real kung fu;

Plot... There is no logic, and the plot is confusing to the point of inexplicability!

The warlords are all stupid hats, not even as good as the leaders of the Hong Kong underworld, they can lead their subordinates to the situation, but they have to go to danger alone, and they can solve the situation with guns, but they have to come to hand-to-hand combat, in short, how to be mentally retarded!

Liu Tianwang's plot is even more speechless, compassion is to spare the murderer who just killed his relatives?

That's how epiphany is played?

This preaching is too far-fetched...

Some people say that this film embodies Buddha nature. Well, let's take a look at the so-called Buddha-nature.

As soon as the abbot came out, he said, "Don't be discriminating, and save both good and bad people."

The whole movie tells a truth: the more enemies you have, the more you have to forgive, and the more bad people you have, the more you have to be reformed!

It's not that there is no discrimination, it's just that it's too discriminating!

Shakyamuni Buddha's reincarnated Great Compassion merchant once killed a robber in order to save people, this is the true Buddha nature!

I really want to explain to us a saying of Zen Buddhism - put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot.

It's a pity that the strength is not enough, and the business comes to make up, and it's still a messy plot...

……

In fact, after the Lunar New Year war in December, both the audience's wallets and the heat of the market have weakened a lot.

Releasing a new movie at this time, unless you have strong confidence, is a moth to a fire.

There are two kinds of film scheduling in domestic theaters, one is the schedule scheduling, which is the result of the distributor's game, and the theater chain has little right to speak.

The first is to schedule films on a daily basis, which will be adjusted by the theater manager at any time according to the attendance rate and audience needs.

"New Shaolin Temple" was released on the 18th, just to seize the market in advance!

They have a lot of faith in the movie!

'20 million to rebuild the Shaolin Temple, and then a scene is blown up...'

Obviously, it can be cheaper, rendered with special effects, I don't want to, I want to shoot in real time, I want to blow up!

I want to give the audience an immersive feeling!

What kind of mentality is this, well, it's a typical local tyrant showing off his wealth, buying two cups of soy milk, drinking one cup and pouring a cup...

It's hard to buy money and you're happy!

Huayi, Wang Zhonglei is discussing with the publicity and distribution department the publicity and distribution work after the release of the film.

"300 million? The goal is too small, such a cast lineup, everywhere you put it, it's 500 million guaranteed!"

"However, the feedback from the audience was not very good..."

"Publicity, what you want is a gimmick, just say 500 million, 'The grand release of "New Shaolin Temple" is 500 million!

"Okay, then I'll have someone write a draft..."

As he was talking, someone pushed the door and walked in: "Mr. Wang, the data is out!"

"How much?"

Wang Zhonglei was also a little nervous, don't look at what he said as if he was very relaxed, in fact, he didn't have much confidence...

"21 million!"
