(Today's first two chapters are made up for yesterday's)

The next day, a fifth of the pages of the latest issue of Ming Pao Weekly magazine detailed information about the filming of "Smiling Proud Jianghu II: Undefeated in the East" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and listed the cast of the two films.

As soon as the news came out, the media was in an uproar!

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" gathered the top three actors from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, Gong Li, Zhou Runfa, and Lin Qingxia, and it was personally handled by the martial arts film master Hu Jinquan, which is eye-catching, and produced by Xu Ke and directed by Cheng Xiaodong, "Smiling Proud Jianghu II. The East is Undefeated" is even more exaggerated, a movie actually brings together Lin Qingxia, Wang Guxian, Guan Zhilin, and the three Xiangjiang are stunning, and there is more news that Xu Ke also intends to invite TVB Xiaohuadan Zhou Haimei to play a cameo role in the film, which makes people sigh that the starring Li Lianjie's "Yanfu" is not shallow.

The two movies made a high-profile appearance at the same time, and in connection with the previous rumors of the break between Xu Ke and Hu Jinquan, anyone who cares can see from these two movies that Xu and Hu are determined to fight together.

The media has added fuel to the fire, and the two films have been hyped up before filming has even started, and during this period, a very "special" martial arts movie held a small-scale test screening in Hong Kong in a low-key manner.

The people invited to the scene were all reporters and film critics from well-known media, and the theater did not inform the content of the film in advance, so before the official screening of the film, these people gathered in twos and threes, among which well-informed people had already heard some information about the film from their respective channels.

"This is a co-production between Hong Kong and the mainland, and the director is a Hong Kong native, but I heard that he is a novice. However, the photographer is said to be quite famous in the mainland. ”

"It's not going to be a history genre again, is it?" Mention co-productions. The first thing that many people think of is the historical films made by Li Hanshen.

"It's a martial arts film." Someone next to him interjected. Everyone looked back together. It was found that it was an associate editor surnamed Hu of "Film Fortnightly" who spoke.

As the organizer of the Academy Awards, "Film Fortnightly" has always had a very detached position in the Hong Kong film industry, and after being acquired by "Ming Pao", the distribution channel has a more stable guarantee, and with a boss like Lin Youlun behind him, he can often get the inside story of the filming of many films, and if there is any blockbuster news in the circle, the magazine will receive the news as soon as possible.

From the mouth of this deputy editor-in-chief Hu. Everyone has heard a lot of useful information: "This film is adapted from a comic, the original author is Ma Rongcheng who painted "Chinese Heroes", this comic is his new work, and it should be released at the same time as the movie. ”

"Are there any stars among the actors?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

"The two male protagonists are famous, one is Guo Fucheng, who played the second male lead in "Back to the Future 1", and the other is Zhao Wenzhuo, who was famous for playing "Huang Feihong" some time ago."

"What about the heroine?" Someone asked again.

"It's two newcomers from Taiwan, and they're not well-known yet." It seems that there is a taboo, and the deputy editor-in-chief Hu doesn't want to say more on this issue, but someone who cares will capture some information from his words, and then someone will associate this matter with the news that Lin Youlun appeared at the airport with two Taiwanese female artists last year.

Could it be them? Many people present had such questions in their hearts.

That's when a staff member comes in. Inform everyone that the movie is about to start, and everyone is back in their seats. Of course, the discussion on this topic did not continue.

As soon as the lights were turned off, the screening room suddenly fell into darkness, and the strong light of the projector hit the screen, when the LOGO of Zeng Zhiwei's good friend film company appeared, many people were slightly surprised, after Xinbao Cinema Line was merged, everyone thought that Zeng Zhiwei, who had been standing on Xinbao's side, would be unlucky, who would have thought that after a year, the work of Good Friend Film Company actually got the qualification for trial screening within Jiayi.

Surprise is surprise, most of the people present are film critics rather than reporters from the gossip media, and everyone's attention is mainly on the film itself.

At the beginning of the movie, the surging river, the stone steps into the clouds, and the magnificent momentum of the general altar of the world meeting overlooking the clouds immediately made people feel the difference of this movie.

Of course, the movie has just begun, and the occasional glimpse of the stunt is not enough to form a very strong visual shock to the people present, but the natural scenery background selected for the film is as fascinating as a landscape painting, in addition to the photographer's lens language is very beautiful, the location is also a very key factor, at least in Hong Kong, it is impossible to find such a natural scenery that is better than a fairyland on earth as a background.

Compared with the beautiful exterior, the plot of the film does not give you too many surprises, the world will help the master Xiongba want to dominate the rivers and lakes, find the rivers and lakes arithmetic to approve his life, and according to the proverbs left by the mud bodhisattva, he accepted Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun as apprentices.

It was a death match between King Nie and Xiongba on the Leshan Giant Buddha, and the special effects of martial arts light and shadow were eye-catching.

The previous Hong Kong martial arts films only used some smoke and simple sound and light stunts to show martial arts moves, and the focus was mainly on the actors' body movements. However, this movie uses comic-style expression, the actors themselves are very simple, but with the colorful visual effects created by computer special effects, it produces a unique effect of blending comics and movies, and maximizes the auxiliary expression role of computer special effects in storytelling and character building.

As soon as the camera turned, Feng and Yun had grown up, Zhao Wenzhuo appeared with long hair, subverting everyone's understanding of him in "Huang Feihong" in the past.

In contrast, Guo Fucheng's step shocking cloud situation is much better, Guo Fucheng showed his muscles under the waterfall as soon as he appeared on the stage, and the special effects of Pai Yun Palm made people a little amazed, with curly blue hair, coupled with a cool expression, it is very comic book style, the future Guo Tianwang has already revealed the extraordinary charm that fascinates many girls at this time.

The soft "Daddy" when the beautiful and lovely Xiao Yan appeared on the stage made people extremely comfortable, and the image of a pure little junior sister immediately came alive in people's minds.

Since the appearance of Kong Ci played by Xiao Yan, everyone has been guessing who she likes, is it the chic and gentle Nie Feng, or the domineering and strong Bu Jingyun? Seeing her and Nie Feng watching fireflies, and being entangled in the clouds, there were countless people present who had read countless films, and immediately guessed that this was another tragic love triangle.

But I have to say that these plots are very exciting, Zhao Wenzhuo's loss of points in modeling at the beginning was pulled back a lot in the sword mound and watching fireflies, especially when he took Xiao Yan to fly in the air, gently shaking the paper fan, one on the left, one on the right, fluorescent like a star, nephrite warm fragrance, beautiful. Impressive.

And the passion scene between Aaron Kwok and Xiao Yan, although the scale is very small, there is no shocking performance, but it is definitely full of beauty, every action is just right, lightly covering the red lips, slightly shirking, and showing tenderness when the steps are frightened when the clouds fade away Kong Ci's clothes, which is really much stronger than some who rely on their performances to win the limelight.

Of course, everyone got the beginning right, but they didn't guess the end, the love triangle between Feng, Yun and Kong Ci finally ended with Kong Ci being beaten to death by his father Xiongba, just over half of the plot of the film, the heroine died, which really surprised Hong Kong film critics who are used to seeing the ending of the full moon.

But soon the second heroine appeared, Yi Nengjing's playful cuteness and a bit of chatterbox, especially her exaggerated facial expressions when she spoke, squeezing her eyebrows and pouting her lips, every action was impressive.

Of course, the theme of the second half of the film is no longer the love of children but the grievances of the rivers and lakes, the wind and the clouds slowly understand their own life experiences, each has adventures, makes great progress in martial arts, and then works together to fight the hegemony.

In the last battle, the movie stunt brought the concept of sword light and sword shadow to the extreme, the sword spirit was vertical and horizontal, the sword light was overflowing, and the scene was spectacular.

"This is definitely a martial arts movie like no other, photographer Liu Weiqiang designed a modern and dynamic MTV-style fighting technique for the film, the color changes are bold, the scene scheduling is flexible and rich, and several big battle scenes in the film are amazing, coupled with the elegant style of costume modeling and character movements, making the film more like a science fiction film."

"After watching the movie, what is deep in my mind is not the sentence 'Jin Lin is not a thing in the pool', but a very common line, the mud bodhisattva persuaded Nie Feng after the most reckless, 'everything is too much, fate is bound to end early', Nie Feng finally blocked the sword of the stepping clouds, and let the male dominate a way out, although the words are simple, the idea is very far-reaching."

In newspapers and magazines the next day, film critics from all walks of life expressed their opinions on the movie "Storm and Clouds", coupled with the publicity of the distributor, Hong Kong audiences quickly knew that such a movie was about to be released.

What really whetted the audience's appetite was the trailer advertisement inserted in the prime time of TVB, although it was only a short minute, but the dazzling special effects that had only been seen in comics still left a very deep impression on everyone.

Although the ticket price of this film is 50% higher than that of normal movies, it still does not stop the enthusiasm of fans, and the film has not yet been officially released, and more than 5 million movie tickets have been sold in three days.

After Jiayi Cinema announced the news, the movie "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" immediately became the focus of attention of all parties, and some information about this movie can be seen in newspapers almost every day.

Huang Yuyun's comic publishing company took the opportunity to release the news, and the first volume of the comic book of the same name of "Fengyun" was about to be published, which also attracted the attention of many people for a while.
