Since the end of the 40s of the last century, Huaguo martial arts films have begun to revivenation.

In 1949, the famous director Hu Peng filmed the first film with the folk legend martial arts figure Huang Feihong as the protagonist - "Huang Feihong".

In the following decades, Huang Feihong has become a famous brand of Chinese martial arts films, with more than a dozen movie stars playing the role of Huang Feihong in nearly 100 movies and TV series with this theme, and many famous directors have filmed this theme.

It is said that a cold rice that has been fried I don't know how many times, Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Wenguang really don't need to fry it again, even if it is fried, there is no need to go bankrupt and smash everything into it.

But Xu Wenguang had plans to make a "Once Upon a Time" a long time ago - about ten years ago, Xu Wenguang had already begun to conceive "Once Upon a Time", and he wanted to bring the character of Once Upon a Time back to the big screen, but unfortunately Xu Wenguang has been struggling to find a suitable person to play, so the plan has not been implemented.

At that time, Xu Wenguang wanted to find an actor with particularly good kung fu to play, and his temperament also had to match Xu Wenguang's ideas.

Until not long ago, Xu Wenguang saw Xu Kai's performance in "Escape", and felt that Xu Kai's image was very close to Huang Feihong in his mind.

At this time, Yuan Xiaoliang was also seeking the opportunity to be his director, and the actor chosen by Yuan Xiaoliang was also Xu Kai.

For this reason, Yuan Xiaoliang even did not hesitate to smash his entire net worth into it.

Xu Wenguang and Yuan Xiaoliang were old friends, so Xu Wenguang found Yuan Xiaoliang and told Yuan Xiaoliang his thoughts.

As a result, the two hit it off.

Next, Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Guangwen found the most critical person, that is, Xu Kai, and then the two persuaded Xu Kai by relying on the good relationship between Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Kai.

After that, Xu Wenguang and Yuan Xiaoliang persuaded Zhu Bing to play the thirteenth aunt.

Not only that, Xu Wenguang also persuaded Zhang You, one of the four heavenly kings, to play Ya Cha Su, the golden statue actor Zheng Mao to play Pork Rong, martial arts star Xia Lingzhen to play Liang Kuan, and found the famous martial arts master Ren Xiaoguan to play the villain.

In terms of the cast of "The Grandmaster" alone, it can be described as extremely luxurious.

From this, it is not difficult to see the ambitions of Xu Wenguang and Yuan Xiaoliang.

But—

Corresponding to this luxurious cast, the cost of "The Grandmaster" is also really large.

Not to mention others, Xu Kai's salary alone, and only the salary paid to Xu Kai in the early stage, is as high as 15 million.

In this regard, Xu Wenguang and Yuan Xiaoliang are actually under a lot of pressure.

Be.

Xu Wenguang and Yuan Xiaoliang are very optimistic about Xu Kai, and feel that the role of Huang Feihong is none other than Xu Kai, but when they signed Xu Kai at that time, to be honest, Xu Kai's worth is really not worth so much.

This made the other two shareholders of "The Grandmaster" quite complain at the time, and even almost withdrew their capital.

Fortunately!

"Ten Mile Ocean Field" was a big hit, Xu Kai exploded, his value soared greatly, and he even became the top superstar in China.

In this way, Xu Wenguang and Yuan Xiaoliang, who signed Xu Kai with 15 million plus 20% of the producer's shares, definitely picked up a big bargain.

This made the two shareholders like ducks with their necks pinched, and they no longer dared to interfere with Xu Wenguang and Yuan Xiaoliang's filming of "The Grandmaster".

……

The crew of "The Grandmaster".

Xu Kai showed the demeanor of a master in every gesture - under the direction of Yuan Xiaoliang, Xu Kai comprehensively demonstrated his extraordinary martial arts attainments.

Xu Kai's kung fu, the long bridge horse, the vertical jump, the moves are stretched and beautiful, and in shaping the character of the character, it can also show the kind of calm and practiced temperament, when it is time to shoot, clean and chic and elegant.

To paraphrase Yuan Xiaoliang's words: "I have worked with so many action actors, I think the best can play, it is none other than Yu Qingyun, Yu Qingyun has a deep martial arts foundation, he knows too many martial arts, no matter what school, what kung fu, what weapons, even if he can't, he must understand, it is simply a martial arts classic, and even if there are martial arts he has not practiced, he will learn it, in today's entertainment industry, Xu Kai must be the first in martial arts, no one can compare, and he is definitely a rare kung fu emperor in a century." ”

With Xu Kai's kung fu as the foundation, Huang Feihong's image of the grandmaster has come to life.

However, Xu Kai is not only extraordinary in martial arts, but also extremely superb in performance.

At Xu Wenguang's suggestion, Xu Kai absorbed the strengths of Huang Feihong portrayed by the older generation of actors, and focused on Huang Feihong's bearing and demeanor as a generation of martial arts masters, and at the same time successfully portrayed Huang Feihong's ambivalence of inferiority and pride in the era of the collision of Chinese and Western civilizations.

Compared with Huang Feihong portrayed by the older generation of actors, Huang Feihong portrayed by Xu Kai is more internal, emotionally richer, and more of the demeanor of the king.

Moreover, unlike the previous Huang Feihong, Xu Wenguang added a lot of delicate and moving feelings between men and women to "The Grandmaster".

Under the guidance of Xu Guangwen, in the handling of the emotional context between Huang Feihong and his thirteenth aunt, Xu Kai played the role very subtlely, on the one hand, he has always protected Zhu Bing, and is the perfect hero in Zhu Bing's mind, on the other hand, Zhu Bing is an enlightener for him, it is precisely because she brought advanced civilization from the outside world that Xu Kai began to think seriously about how to face and learn from the surging Western civilization, which makes Huang Feihong played by Xu Kai become extraordinarily vivid and more humane.

Of course, this is also because the relationship between Xu Kai and Zhu Bing is really similar to the relationship between Huang Feihong and Aunt Thirteen, and the two of them have no pressure at all.

In addition to his outstanding ability and superb acting skills, Xu Kai's attitude is also very correct.

Because Xu Kai still has to film "Manhunt", Xu Kai actually needs to have hair.

Moreover, Xu Kai has a lot of other things, and he needs the image of Yushu Linfeng.

Therefore, Yang Xinchun proposed that Xu Kai wear a hood to play Huang Feihong.

But Xu Kai said, "It's too fake to wear a hood here in "The Grandmaster", so let's wear a hood over there in "Pursuit", so he resolutely asked the stylist to shave his hair.

Not only that, Xu Kai hasn't used numbers to deal with the crew like other actors who are in a hurry, but he plays all the lines every time, and he can do a good job of one line.

In addition, Xu Kai never puts on the shelf of a superstar, Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Guangwen let Xu Kai act as such, Xu Kai will act.

Even if Xu Kai has any ideas, he will fully communicate with Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Guangwen.

If everyone disagrees, Xu Kai will also make certain compromises and concessions.

All in all, Xu Kai's performance satisfied Xu Wenguang, who cooperated with Xu Kai for the first time, and also made Yuan Xiaoliang, who strongly recommended Xu Kai not to cooperate with Xu Kai, very relieved, and the three of them cooperated very happily.

On this basis, "The Grandmaster" was filmed very smoothly and very quickly......
