Chapter 58: The New Edition of the Sky Tower
The opening clip of "Rushing to the Sky Tower" gives Zhou Yi the feeling that it is indeed better than the previous life, and it is much stronger than the opening of "Five Poisons", and it can be seen that Director Zhao is also improving. www.biquge.info Of course, it may be that the shooting funds are rich and can be more exquisite.
After all, if the production cost is doubled, you can shoot better if you have money.
And the opening of the film is by no means bland, but full of contradictions.
Especially at the beginning of the section where Zhao Guangyi killed his brother and killed Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of Song Dynasty, and then the section where Zhao Guangyi forced Zhao Dezhao, the second son of Taizu, was filmed very deeply and depressingly, with a few shots and voice-over, the overall tragic atmosphere was filmed.
It can be said that Director Zhao has a good control of the overall atmosphere of the film.
Moreover, the actors performed well.
The invited are all veteran actors who specialize in supporting roles, but they are not ordinary group performances.
The production cost has increased, and of course you can hire better actors, so you don't have to mess around.
In fact, this cost is nothing compared to the overall production cost.
In particular, it is worth mentioning that the opening clip is not as ordinary as it was shot in the previous life, so colorful, it is indeed very different, the overall picture feels very gloomy and deep, and the picture quality is better, the color grading in the later stage is also good, and special effects are added, which renders the tragic atmosphere very well.
It is said that this special effect was made by Ju Neng and they did it brilliantly, which is very unusual.
Many fans were hooked from the beginning.
This is simply the rhythm of the sad Xiangyang King!
At the beginning of the film, it is clearly stated that there must be pity for hateful people.
Many veteran fans can understand the director's shooting intentions, and what atmosphere the picture renders must represent the director's thoughts.
Although I don't know much about the theme of "no distinction between good and evil, only success or failure", the audience can see some subtleties.
As for those film critics and veteran journalists, they must understand better, so there is no need to say more.
Many of the shots here are cold treatment with large panoramas, which contain fierce conflicts, but they are subtle and unreveal, which is even more painful and depressing.
Many filming techniques are different from previous lives, the directors are different, and of course the shooting is different.
But the overall tragic tone and artistic effect of the film are well done.
Zhou Yi also watched carefully offstage and learned some shooting experience. Director Zhao's level is definitely not worse than that of the film directors in the previous life when Chinese films were just emerging. People are experienced, and the shooting must be more desirable.
With the development of the times and the advancement of technology, the film technology and shooting techniques of the new era are not comparable to those of the old era.
Even many film critics and media reporters praised these shots in their hearts: Although this is a small-budget action movie, it is really well-done, and it is by no means rough, but the scene is small, there is no large-scale aerial photography, and there is no large-scale panorama of the palace, but it is definitely not shoddy. Look at the footage of other people, shooting this style is really unusual, and it is really good.
This is a typical shooting method that is small and fine, and it is very useful to shoot well.
Especially Zhou Yi's acting skills at the beginning left a deep impression on everyone.
Zhou Yi did play very well here, especially from the young Xiangyang King Zhao Jue who witnessed his father Zhao Dezhao being forced to hang himself, and naturally transitioned to the young Xiangyang King played by Zhou Yi looking at the portrait of his father who had copied himself to commit suicide, and he was eager for revenge, the kind of indifference in his eyes hid madness and hatred, and the performance was indeed quite wonderful, the overall picture became dark and gray, but only the eyes were bloodshot, as if the blazing flame of revenge was dancing.
This eye performance, Zhou Yi performed it many times before he grabbed the right shot, and he was almost tired and his eyes hurt.
But he himself has high standards and strict requirements, and he must shoot wonderfully, and the effect is indeed good.
The four positive and negative portraits made by the crew are also very exquisite, reaching a certain artistic standard, and they are also from the art department of a regular art school, so it is not a problem to make such a few paintings, and the crew does not need to outsource someone to paint at all.
As soon as such a young Xiangyang King appeared in the opening film, he caught people's attention and attracted fans at once.
Some fans secretly muttered: "The acting skills have improved too fast." Who dares to say that His Royal Highness King Wen has no acting skills? β
Many fans do feel that Zhou Yi is making rapid progress and has a bright future.
Even Lang Jun was amazed in his heart, thinking that Zhou Yi acted very well and was very brilliant.
Tang Yan and Qiu Cao, who were next to them, both felt good and appreciated it in their hearts.
A great shot is enough to tug at the heartstrings of movie fans.
The beginning of the film is extremely fascinating.
At this time, the opening voiceover has advanced to the last sentence: "Zhao Jue, the son of Dezhao, was named the king of Xiangyang, and he was eager for revenge, plotted to start an incident, and built Chongxiao Tower in the mansion!" As soon as the three words Chongxiaolou fell, the title of the opening film was immediately typed, and the background music turned to impassioned, and the connection was excellent.
The camera directly cuts to the interior of the tower, taking panoramic views and various close-ups.
The overall picture tone is gloomy and cold, the atmosphere is depressing, especially the inside of the Sky Tower, which is eerie and terrifying, and all kinds of mechanism props are extremely sinister and amazing, with spectacular background music, rendering a tragic atmosphere, indicating that there will be a bloody battle here.
A variety of exquisite opening brushes and subtitles are played together.
Although it is only a close-up of the empty building and no characters appear, these wonderful pictures still make fans and audiences extremely excited. In particular, the magnificent panoramic large-lens display of the interior of the Xiaolou, as well as the long-shot shooting, is indeed spectacular, bringing a very strong surprise to the audience, and the money is definitely not spent in vain. Although the opening credits are old-school, everyone thinks they are very appropriate and not ugly at all.
Filming the famous passages of classical novels, using retro subtitles, the opening of the film can be described as a dignified and righteous way, not making surprises and winnings, not engaging in alternative innovations, and the overall style of the film seems to be very stable and down-to-earth. In particular, the overall gloomy and depressing gray style tone is indeed amazing and artistic.
Even if you just watch these pictures, fans feel that they must be good-looking, and the play will not collapse.
Many fans are attracted by the opening effect, and they can calm down and enjoy it slowly.
Most of the fans also understand art, not just watching the excitement.
The voiceover at the beginning of the film can also let the audience understand some of the plot, especially the story of the Three Heroes and Five Righteousness, which is familiar to everyone, this is a classical novel, many fans have heard the storytelling, watched the TV series, and it is naturally not difficult to understand.
Even if the plot of the movie is different and the character settings are different, it is completely understandable.
That's it, and the intro is very successful.
Manager Zhao and Producer Zhang, who watched in the audience, all felt that the beginning of the film was shot very well and it was indeed level.
Zhengdong's small-cost film is like this, the work is very detailed, it will definitely not be shoddy, and it feels very good.
Small cost is just a lack of big scenes, but it does not mean that the quality is poor.
In particular, the art director, the artist, the props, the costumes, the makeup, the special effects, the color grading, and the soundtrack have all done a good job.
Lang Jun was also very attracted, and only felt that the film was full of commercial elements, which was completely different from the opening of a literary film. The intense background contradictions and the eerie panorama of the sky, coupled with the majestic music and gloomy tones, are too eye-catching. Could it be that the director read audience psychology? This is not like pretending to be forced like a literary film, but it is actually a form of pretending, but at a different level.
Lang Jun looked at it very seriously, and whispered to Zhou Yi: "Although it is a small-cost film, you must have spent a lot of money on this Chongxiao Tower!" β
Zhou Yi explained in a low voice: "The large amount of expenditure is mainly used here, except for the salary of the leading actor, it is not much money in other places." β
Lang Jun nodded and said, "It costs money to set up a scene, which is generally like this." β
He added: "Your background soundtrack is also well done, it is majestic, diluting some of the eerie and terrifying flavors, and you are on the right path, taking the popular route, not going to the niche route." You are indeed talented in the East. β
Zhou Yi smiled, he was really satisfied with the soundtrack, at least the effect was no worse than in his previous life, and with the internal lens of Chongxiao Tower, it was very shocking and impactful. This soundtrack will be used again and again throughout the film, and it is really outstanding.
This is a popular action movie soundtrack, and it is indeed not a niche horror movie soundtrack, Lang Jun's idea is very correct.
This opening scene passes quickly, until the director's name is played, and then it goes directly to the scene of the Fu'an Inn.
The opening scene is still the scene of Hua Butterfly Hua Chong played by Lu Yifeng.
However, in terms of setting up, don't look at it as a small-budget film, but it is much better than some simple places in the previous life, and there will definitely be no particularly simple shots that make people play instantly, and Director Zhao cares about this aspect very much.
When filming in Huairou Film and Television City, the places rented by the crew are relatively good, and there are many cooperative relationships, so they will definitely be able to rent a good place. If there is something dissatisfied, I will ask the scenery workers of the Xinghui company to improve it to ensure that the lens is exquisite and watchable.
The picture taken in this way is naturally very good-looking.
Even Lang Jun thought it was good, and said to Zhou Yi that this is spending a little money and doing big things. Of course, he can see where this scene was filmed, and a small-budget film can be filmed like this, at least the lens is fine, which is indeed commendable.
If you don't make big scenes, you save money, and the quality of the film has not been greatly affected, and the audience mainly watches the plays.
The opening scene is really exciting, much stronger than the simple action in the previous life, to attract the audience at the beginning, it is natural to have a well-designed fight scene, and to highlight the strength of Hua Butterfly Hua Chong.
In particular, this scene uses close-ups to show Hua Chong's dart mastery "ever-changing magic hand", which is indeed very cleverly filmed.
A butterfly flying knife hit Wang Liang of Kaifeng Mansion hard, and he fled far away, which was very beautiful.
In this scene, the actors who play the brothers Wang Dong and Wang Liang of Kaifeng Mansion are all members of the Zhengdong martial arts group and play well. As for the occasional sick Tai Sui, Zhang Hua just made a foreshadowing, saying that this is the territory of the King of Xiangyang, and there is a hidden pile.
The actor who plays the role of Sick Tai Sui Zhang Hua is also a martial artist, but his appearance is not good, which is just right for the role of Sick Tai Sui.
Some of these martial artists with special appearances are indeed easy to get suitable roles.
The opening of the film was precious, and the audience was attracted and watched intently, not eating popcorn.
Everyone began to pay attention to the plot.
Next, Hua Butterfly Hua Chong bravely broke into the Zhaoxian Pavilion, divided two by two, solved the palace guards, and met with the god hand Deng Che played by Cheng Dakui, which was also wonderful, reflecting superb acting skills.
Then Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang played by Zhou Yi, appeared again, under the backdrop of the group performers, the dragon walked and walked with a tiger step, full of glory, very royal majesty, full of luxury, and natural prestige, especially this royal opera performance, reflecting the demeanor and magnanimity of recruiting talents, and the conversation with Hua Chong and others was like relatives and friends, graceful and heartbreaking, and indeed showed eye-catching acting skills.
It is precisely because of this kind of solid and atmospheric wonderful performance that the reckless investment of the rivers and lakes is more credible and convincing.
Of course, the reckless heroes will not stoop to the command of naΓ―ve children, how can that be a big thing.
The performance here must be supported by acting skills, otherwise it will become a little four playing Xiang Yu, and it will not be good to be crowned by a monkey.
But Zhou Yi's performance was really wonderful and met the director's requirements.
Even compared with Pang Guobin who played Xiao Zhuge Shen Zhongyuan, Lu Yifeng who played the flower butterfly Hua Chong, and Cheng Dakui who played the god hand great sage Deng Che, Zhou Yi did not fall behind at all, full of aura, good singing and writing, and really did what etiquette teacher Lu Dejin required, "Walking like a flat wave, sitting like a tiger standing on a dragon plate, sound like thunder and waves, like the sun in the sky". These performances are rigorously trained.
It is absolutely impossible to perform this effect without special training, and you need to be talented.
Even the most picky and demanding film critics can take out Zhou Yi's every move, including every subtle facial expression, every gesture, and even the speed of speech and the distance between walks, and put them under a magnifying glass to see them, they can't find anything wrong, and they really act very well. Many film critics and media reporters feel that Zhou Yi has made great progress and is very rare.
The fans and viewers at the scene watched several acting schools playing, and they all felt very cool, and they also felt that Zhou Yi performed very well, and he was so handsome, he couldn't be picky, ordinary little fresh meat couldn't act at this level, and he was specially practiced at first glance.
Next, it is a scene in which the peach blossom jade horse is placed in the Chongxiao Tower and the alliance is signed.
Lan Xiao, the Black Wolf Mountain "Iron Mask King Kong" who guarded Chongxiao Tower, also showed his face.
This overall sound effect is very well done and very imposing.
The audience didn't feel dull at all, they just felt that everyone's performances were above the level, and the overall atmosphere was well set off. This kind of iron-blooded tough guy action movie does not rely on the appearance of Xiao Xianrou to support the scene, Zhou Yi is not a little Xianrou, and his performance is remarkable, which is very good. Several supporting roles are also second- and third-tier acting schools, except for Cheng Dakui, in fact, they are all from professional classes, in terms of acting skills alone, they are definitely not comparable to some small fresh meat today.
Cheng Dakui has been practicing for so many years, and his acting skills are also there.
The appearance is not enough, of course everyone has to fight for their acting skills, otherwise they will not be pressed by Zhou Yi.
In this way, everyone's performance is naturally outstanding, and it is indeed a powerful faction, belonging to the type that is not well-known and has good acting skills. Even in some big-budget films, if you rely on small fresh meat to support the scene, you can't get such acting skills.
Even though the protagonist Takamatsu has not yet appeared, the audience thinks it is very good.
The opening scene passed one by one.
Especially the scene where Wang Dong of Kaifeng Mansion died tragically and rushed to the sky, it was thrilling and really brilliant.
Fans watched it with horror and horror.
As soon as the various trap killers in Chongxiao Tower appeared, they were amazed and terrifying.
With Gao Song and Zheng Zilong appearing one by one, the scenes are becoming more and more lively and good-looking.
Being able to shoot a group scene so well and staggered does reflect Director Zhao's ability to control the scene and rhythm.
Although I have watched the practice drama of Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, before, it is still exciting.
Now that some fans have scored the gods for the first time, the scores are generally very high, and it is obvious that the audience is more satisfied with the overall style and plot of the film, and they can watch it completely. In terms of the first score alone, it is definitely stronger than the original "Five Poison Gates", and it will be higher later. Now the film is just the beginning, and it has not yet reached the climax, and even the first small climax has not yet arrived.
Of course, the senior management of Zhengdong will receive the data from the backstage personnel, and it is not surprising, after all, the score of the Fengshen List that preempted the field has already come out, and what the overall situation is, it can be predicted, it is almost this kind of score.
Seeing that Zhou Yi appeared again, the audience was attentive and liked to watch Zhou Yi's performance.
has a high appearance and good acting skills, which really attracts the audience.
In particular, this scene was filmed very majestic, and the style was extremely eye-catching, Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, sat on the dragon bed, strategized, commanded the heroes, and arranged for his masters to rob and kill the Qincha and strictly investigate and disperse, and the performance was indeed wonderful, the edge will be revealed, and the domineering is compelling.
Although this kind of performance is not very difficult, the acting is not superb, and it is not reasonable to be an actor-level performance, but for young actors, it is very good to play action movies like this, and they can't be more critical. In particular, this kind of performance and the little junior brother in "Five Poisons" are completely two images, the contrast between the anti-king and the chivalrous is huge, what is the act like, in comparison, it is very brilliant.
If it is an actor to perform, he may be weightless and handled in the lightest way, making the role more majestic, and he can even use Sven and calm to show brutality, but Zhou Yi obviously can't do that now, even if he is talented, he has just started learning, and he can't become an actor all of a sudden, and now he can only do superficial performances, which is enough, and he doesn't rely on this role to compete for the actor.
Many critics and fans secretly appreciated and praised it.
They won't ask for more from a young actor like Zhou Yi who has just come to Yanying.
That was unrealistic, but now it's good, and it deserves encouragement and reward.
This is just as advertised, he is the most handsome king of Xiangyang in history, and it is not excessive.
Note one thing: he is the most handsome Xiangyang king in history, not the best Xiangyang king in history.
At this time, the audience was fascinated, their attention was immersed in the plot of the film, no one spoke, and no one ate snacks.
The plot of the film unfolds very well, the plot is compact, and it is very emotional.
As the scenes passed, the audience became more and more attracted by the plot.
In the middle, Zheng Zilong and Lin Yan partnered to appear in the scene of Qincha Weifu's private interview, which was also filmed well, vivid and interesting. Especially after the appearance of Bai Yutang, the brocade mouse played by Shao Junjie, the two beautiful men played against each other, coupled with Lin Yan's gags, which was even more exciting and extremely attractive to fans. The screenwriting team has adapted it very well, the lines of the script are more exciting than in the previous life, the watchability is very high, and it is not boring.
In the words of later generations, this is the combination of acting skills plus appearance and humor, which collided with the spark of performance.
Compared with the role in his previous life, Shao Junjie's appearance is higher and his acting skills are more appropriate, which is a small highlight.
It's not that his acting skills are much better than those of actors in his previous life, it's just that his acting is more appropriate.
The fans and audiences at the scene watched it with relish.
Although Zhou Yi has already watched the finished film, he also feels good when he watches it again at this time.
