Donnie Yen on the stage didn't know that at this time, Master and Master had already paved the way for his future star career. γReading.comγ
Southern boxing, northern legs, and Jeet Kune Do competed on the same stage, which not only drove the atmosphere of the premiere, but also made Donnie Yen familiar with the audience, and then, the major martial arts halls in Hong Kong also sent representatives to perform on stage to celebrate the premiere of "Ip Man 2", which can be regarded as a publicity for the upcoming fighting competition.
"Even if you don't watch a movie, just watch the premiere, it's enough for the price of a movie ticket!"
"yes, it's like a martial arts exhibition match, it's really enjoyable!"
"Look, that's our Meridian Gate team."
The audience below is still hot, they think that the program of the premiere definitely exceeds the value of movie tickets, Hong Kong rarely sees similar programs, and they did not expect Wang Xiaohu to be so well prepared.
There are kung fu performances, pop songs sung, and of course, the main creators come to the stage to reveal the filming tidbits.
The new Seven Little Fortunes were invited to the stage again, gossiping about the filming bit by bit, Schwarzenegger was particularly eye-catching when he appeared on the stage, this product was definitely dressed up in accordance with the Mr. Bodybuilder competition, showing enviable muscles under the lights, and the audience was amazed.
"Damn, isn't this the arrogant foreigner in the trailer!"
"I didn't think this guy was stronger than a bear, look at his pectoralis muscles."
"Perverted, this guy is the **oss in the trailer!"
"It's going to be fun when we fight!"
The audience was so anxious by Schwarzenegger's muscles that they couldn't wait for the release of the film to see how Brother Tiger cleaned up the big guys, mainly because the first impression of this product was too strong, and the muscles were not like people!
After Schwarzenegger's performance, he took the coat sent by the staff and put it on his body to chat with Zeng Zhiwei and Shen Dianxia.
"Hey, big man, how do you train your muscles?" Zeng Zhiwei said enviously while pinching Schwarzenegger's bulging biceps.
Schwarzenegger could barely understand Cantonese, and squeezed out a sentence that he had been practicing in the background for a long time: "Eat more, practice more." β
Shen Dianxia also went over to touch other people's abdominal muscles, and after half a day, she raised her fist and said, "I feel like I still have to continue learning Wing Chun." β
Zeng Zhiwei also said: "Yes, how many years will I have to practice to catch up with your size." β
"You have no hope in this life!" Sister Fat said.
Zeng Zhiwei pursed his lips, bent his right arm and squeezed out some muscles, and said stinkily: "It's okay, I will eat more, practice more, big man, let's compare another day." β
Everyone laughed.
Subsequently, the main actors of "Ip Man 2" Sammo Hung , Huang Chunliang , Ren Dahua , Shi Jian , Liu Jialiang and others took the stage one after another to tell the behind-the-scenes story of the filming of "Ip Man 2".
He said: "You may not think that when I was filming the scene where I fought with the big guy, I was shocked on the spot by him, and when I played the last game with Ah Hu, we filmed for a whole week, which was really hard." β
Sammo Hung , Jackie Chan , Yuan Biao brothers are famous in the circle for not being afraid of death, in recent years, their movies are either jumping off a building or a speeding car, every time it is thrilling, when jumping off a building and breaking a leg, and when a flying car breaks a rib, they have never said a word "bitter" in front of reporters, how do you know that they will pour bitter water as soon as they come up today. Isn't that a little too fake?
The audience didn't believe it until Wang Xiaohu hugged his wife and pulled his son onto the stage to confirm Sammo Hung's hard work, and the audience reluctantly believed it.
There's no way, there are no such shots in the trailer, and now they sell melons, who believes it.
Wang Jiaen's children faced thousands of audiences, they were not stage frightened at all, and from time to time they said a few words of cold humor stolen from their father, and Zeng Zhiwei directly stuffed the microphone to him: "Children, I am laid off now, you can host." β
The premiere lasted for another half an hour in such a relaxed and hilarious atmosphere, and when it was almost half past 10, Luo Wen, Zhen Ni, Huang Zhan, and Gu Jiahui suddenly came on stage.
The first two are popular with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the latter two are the godfathers of the music scene, who have jointly written many popular songs.
"Luo Wen, Zhen Ni, sing a song "Iron Blood Pill Heart"!"
"Always Hello in the World!"
These two songs were in the top ten on the Phoenix Music Channel's on-demand list, and when the audience saw Rowan and Jenny appearing, they thought they were going to sing signature songs to liven up the atmosphere, and they coaxed one by one.
"There are joys in life, but there are inevitably tears, and we all meet at the foot of the Lion Rock, and there are always more laughter than sighs"
As soon as the two opened their mouths to sing hand in hand, everyone was immediately stunned, and soon someone heard what song was singing.
"It's "Under the Lion Rock"!"
"Yes, is the theme song of "Ip Man 2" "Under the Lion Rock"?"
"This is too spoofed, isn't it, a kung fu movie"
The 3,500 audience couldn't figure it out, but Luo Wen and Zhen Ni had a lot of aura, and Andy Lau, Leslie Cheung, Weng Meiling and others came to the stage one after another, singing "Under the Lion Rock" together, and even Wang Jiaen also hummed along.
"Let go of the contradictions in each other's hearts, pursue the ideals together, swear to follow each other in the same boat, and be fearless and fearless"
This song is a well-known repertoire for thousands of families on Hong Kong Island, from 80 to 5 or 6 years old.
"Being on the edge of the cape together, stepping on the rugged mountain hand in hand, we all work hard to write the immortal Xiangjiang famous sentences."
After the song was sung, the audience applauded vigorously, and some even shed tears.
Yu Yongjian, who was sitting in the fourth row, sang the loudest, don't look at Mr. Yu's sixties, he sang without ambiguity at all, from the moment this song sounded, his heart was constantly accelerating, he didn't expect that he had said at the beginning, Wang Xiaohu had prepared such a link, how could he not dare to move.
The whole premiere can be described as a gala, during which there are exciting martial arts scenes, there are also powerful songs, and there are all kinds of behind-the-scenes lace revelations, and the lively toss does not end until 11 o'clock in the evening.
However, the audience is looking forward to tonight's big dish - the screening of "Ip Man 2".
The light of the New Century Cinema dimmed, and in a burst of exciting music, there were stars on the screen, like a chaotic universe, and suddenly, the twinkling stars collided violently, and the light and darkness gradually separated, and began to move slowly, and finally formed a rotating yin and yang fish pattern, and the bottom of the pattern is the factory logo of "Concord International".
For more than ten years, the audience has been accustomed to the traditional Concord factory logo, and this kind of factory logo is the first time to encounter it, because under the conditions at that time, Hong Kong did not have the ability to produce this kind of animation, which was also the first time that Wang Xiaohu adopted it for the release of "Ip Man 2", the purpose is very simple, "Ip Man" represented the birth of Concord, and now "Ip Man 2" means Concord and international take-off.
In order to make this factory logo, Pixar Animation Studio put down the "Transformers" animation at hand, and it took a week, combined with the special effects of industrial light and magic, to create the current dazzling and meaningful animation pattern. β
After flashing the factory logo on the screen, a nostalgic and exhilarating piece of music sounded in New Century Studios, with a slightly lyrical meaning, and the picture began to play back several clips from "Ip Man" in the sound of music.
The edited clips instantly brought the audience's minds back to the scene when "Ip Man" was released eleven years ago, and they were very satisfied with Wang Xiaohu's arrangement of the title.
After all, it was a long, long time ago that "Ip Man" was released, and this title and this background music called "Gathering and Dispersing" were used to evoke the audience's memories of "Ip Man".
The long shot rendered by computer special effects slowly shows the appearance of Ip Man moving to the rooftop of an ordinary civilian house in old Hong Kong, the picture has been achromatic and deliberately old, and the picture is gray and rich in texture.
The camera is from the bottom up, and the backlit side of the old stone brick wall facing the building is blocked in the foreground, and the brightness of the picture changes from dark to bright, highlighting a small rooftop.
The melodious rhythm of the erhu soundtrack is consistent with the rhythm of the camera movement, showing a sense of vicissitudes and a little sad, and at the same time, with percussion, it is integrated with the sound of thunder, which makes the mood heavier and lays the tone of the whole film.
A special effect at the beginning of the film completely shortens the distance between the film and the audience, the perfect combination of picture and music, the audience's hearts of all kinds of memories of the 50s, little by little, excavated, just like the opening of 30 years of old wine, which makes people's hearts hot, smells fragrant on the tip of the nose, and has an endless aftertaste.
"Tsk, this opening is very good!"
In one of the VIP rooms on the second floor, Li Ka-shing, Bao Yugang, and Fok Yingdong, three wealthy people, watched with relish while sipping fragrant tea.
"Ah Cheng, seeing this beginning, do you remember the time when we struggled?" Bao Yugang said with a smile.
Li Ka-shing nodded.
At the end of the film, the first thing that catches the audience's eye is a busy dock, Li Ka-shing saw this, patted his thigh and said: "Lao Bao, isn't this your dock, when did you cooperate with Wang Xiaohu?" Don't even tell us! β
Bao Yugang smiled and said: "When the machine was turned on, I heard that Wang Xiaohu wanted to lease a ship and dock, so I secretly ran to see if there was any opportunity for cooperation, so it was done." β
"It's not kind!" Huo Yingdong also pointed at Bao Yugang's nose and scolded with a smile.
Bao Yugang snorted coldly: "The two of you also funded Lin Zhenhui Hongquan Martial Arts Hall, South Shaolin Baihemen, and Tan Jiasanzhan Boxing, so you are kind?" Fortunately, I received the news in time that I named Wing Chun and Lau Ka Yong Hung Boxing Gym, otherwise I would have almost lost a great opportunity to advertise! β
After all, other martial arts halls are not as rich as Wing Chun Gate, and the cost of participating in the fighting competition is no longer a few, which can not only ensure that the participating teams have sufficient funds, but also take the opportunity to auction several sets of advertising fees, bringing a lot of income to the advertising department of Phoenix TV.
"Ahem, ahem, watch a movie, watch a movie, you see, the British guys appeared, hey, it seems to be an embargo, is it the Korean War!" When Li Ka-shing saw a group of policemen running on the pier, he was immediately moved.
Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were also very surprised, because these people came from that era, and they also started to make money when the Korean War broke out, so they know the ins and outs of the embargo too well.
