Chapter 102: The Lion King Fights for Supremacy

“… How do you feel after reading it?"

At the end of the movie, under the guidance of the host, the main creative team of "The Lion King" came to the stage to deliver an acceptance speech, no, to thank the audience for their support.

After a simple curtain call, there was a Q&A session with reporters.

There have been countless media, reporters and so on here.

The reporter of "Fujisun News" took the lead in asking: "Director Xu Hui, what prompted you to make a movie like 'Wong Fei Hung'?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't really understand what you meant..."

"It's such a magnificent masterpiece that perfectly blends historical figures, martial arts actions, and commercial factors, I..."

The reporter was a little excited, trying to express his meaning clearly, but unfortunately he was incoherent...

Xu Hui waved his hand and smiled slightly: "You're asking me about my creative motives, right?"

"Yes!"

"When I was in 05, I watched a documentary in which foreign media interviewed Chinese filmmakers because of martial arts films, and I saw that many people, including Wu Yusen, Li An, and Cheng Long, mentioned the word "Huang Feihong" with firm, excited, and persistent spirit in their eyes, and I was quite moved. What can be felt is that in their eyes, Huang Feihong is not a name, nor is it just a chivalrous warrior who saves people from distress, but a spirit they adhere to, or a personality realm that they admire, which is the general impression of Huang Feihong in the minds of Chinese in the Guan Dexing era. ”

Xu Hui thought for a while, and then said: "As a person who has had a vision for movies since I was a child, in fact, since that time, I have been determined to put the character of 'Huang Feihong' on the big screen again!"

"Of course, the movie has developed for decades, and the audience's aesthetics are not the same, so I deal with this Huang Feihong more realistically and more humanely, he will have his own limitations, his own pain and confusion, but his vision is also broader, and his mind is broader. ”

The media and reporters obviously don't put their eggs in the same basket, and after asking Xu Hui questions, they immediately focused on Wu Jing.

After all, he is 'Huang Feihong' himself, and he is also the director of the upcoming 'New Huang Feihong'.

A reporter from "Net* Yi News" asked: "Wu Jing, as an actor, do you believe in Huang Feihong played by yourself? Do you think there will be a hero who can block a hundred in reality?"

NetEase's reporters, including this media, seem to be always skeptical of Xu Hui and his movies, and the last "Guiquan" incident was also reported by NetEasy Entertainment for the first time!

"I made my debut in martial arts films and action movies, and I am also a martial artist myself, in fact, the main reason for taking over the series of 'Huang Feihong' is that I like to work with Xu Hui, whether it is the first "Embroidered Spring Knife" or the current "Huang Feihong", I think Xu Hui's movies are always story-based, which is what I have always wanted to do. Do you see what I mean?"

Wu Jing pretended not to understand the reporter's words, which made the guy a little dissatisfied, and then he shifted his target and aimed at Tong Liya, who had always smiled standardly: "Tong Liya, you are the heroine in three consecutive films, is winning the role of Aunt Thirteen a good thing or a bad thing for you, for an actor? Also, the easter egg just now seems to have explained the 'Huang Feihong' series later, the role of Aunt Thirteen is going to be replaced, do you have anything to say?"

Yaya glanced at the reporter, didn't think much about it, and replied directly: "If it weren't for the role of 'Thirteen Aunts', I guess you wouldn't know me either, you said that such an opportunity is not important to me, as for my role has changed, I don't think there is anything, in fact, from the first "Huang Feihong" to the third "Lion King", I think my role has been fully shaped, and it's time to quit, and I will continue to cooperate with Xu Hui in the future, so I want to say that I am really grateful to God for letting Xu Hui notice me!"

Pao Hui was scared enough, for fear that she would come to the scene to confess or something.

Fortunately, Yaya is just expressing her gratitude...

……

At the end of the midnight show, the response was very good, but whether it can really trigger a strong market response depends on the box office record of the midnight show and the box office feedback on the day of the premiere.

Of course, let's take a look at a bunch of movie reviews first.

At this time, there are already a lot of movie reviews on a bunch of movie websites.

Lin Dun of "Watching a Movie" also wrote his own views on "The Lion King" on the marketing account in a timely manner.

On "Huang Feihong":

This movie is definitely a gluttonous feast.

Especially when watching movies in the IMAX theater!

Oriental charm and Western technology collide fiercely again.

The steam engine, the darling of the Western Industrial Revolution, was moved to a pharmaceutical factory in Beijing, and it was Huang Feihong's father, Huang Qiying, who opened the factory.

To be honest, the third part renders too many scenes of fighting, and I think so too.

But there's a lot of meaning to it!

Xu Hui shows a complex and chaotic social ecology of the late Qing Dynasty in "The Lion King": the arrogant and inactive court, the tigerish foreigners, the combination of East and West, and the unscrupulous martial artists.

Huang Feihong was sometimes pushed to the front and sometimes rushed to the middle in this crowd, and Xu Hui's love for Huang Feihong did not let him sink to the bottom.

In the complex social environment, Feihong didn't want to fight, but he had to do it. In the troubled times, in addition to affirming Feihong's noble integrity, he is also criticizing the dirtiness and shallowness of some people. This mutual blow is exactly the shortcomings of the people they want to reveal.

I admit that the ambition of the third part is a little bigger, but I am still grateful to have this exciting third part, especially at the end, Huang Feihong's ambition is even more exaggerated, those "vindictive little urchins" like martial artists are lying in a wolf after fighting each other, Huang Feihong step by step sonorous and powerful statement, "open up the wisdom of the people, the integration of wisdom and martial arts" is the way out.

In this situation, I seem to see Xu Hui and the group of screenwriters behind the passionate creative feelings!

By the way, the emotional scenes of "The Lion King" are also very cute.

At the beginning, Fei Hong found the "foreign rival" and fell in love; he walked back to the Guangdong Guild Hall from the noon gate to drink tea without taking the carriage of the rival in love; he wanted to mention the matter of marrying his father, but he was made blushing and heartbeat by the thirteenth aunt who danced and drank all the medicine in his hand; he was kissed by the "steam engine" and his face was like fire; he kicked the chandelier on the eaves to "pour vinegar"; he held the thirteenth aunt and floated proudly in front of the eyes of the rival in love... These short and unaddictive small bridges show the loveliness of the love between the two everywhere.

has added more expressions of Huang Feihong's love to the thirteenth aunt, and it is still up to the point, not polite.

This is a very Chinese-style and very touching love that belongs to that era.

In addition, Zhang Jing played the ghost foot seven, which played extremely well. In particular, the handling of the relationship between Ghost Foot Seven and Huang Feihong as enemies and then reconciled and became masters and apprentices was very impressive. There are very few lines in that scene, and it is because of the excellent body language of the two actors.

Ghost Foot fell in Bao Zhilin after breaking his seven legs, Huang Feihong wanted to save him, he would rather go out in the heavy rain than not, Huang chased out and was punched by him very hard, still pulling him, being beaten again, still not letting go... In this way, this man, who was as fierce as a tiger at the beginning, hugged Huang Feihong and cried bitterly!

This scene makes my eyes moist - this is righteousness, this is the righteousness of Bo Yuntian, this is the convincing of people with virtue!

There are too many places to say about this play, there are too many wonderful and lovely places, as an audience, I would like to thank Xu Hui's team again for their efforts. Thank you!
