Chapter 458: All Kung Fu Stars

The Chinese film market is a place where box office miracles frequently occur. Simply put, there will always be bad movies that make a lot of money.

I won’t mention the specific names of the movies here.

As for their money-making routines, it is nothing more than looking at the luxurious cast, adding some eye-catching gimmicks, and then conducting overwhelming marketing.

Once the operation is done properly, it can make unscrupulous film producers make a lot of money.

The movie starring Jiang Heng is naturally impossible to be a bad movie.

But looking at the cast at the moment, you don’t have to think about it to know that it will be a big hit at the box office!

Although this is just a martial arts film, the shocking degree of the special effects scenes is limited.

The problem is that there are many action superstars in the film, such as Jiang Heng, Cheng Long, Jet Li, Hong Jinbao, Zhen Zidan, Wu Jing, and Yuen Biao.

It can be said that almost all the best action stars in Chinese films in the past 30 years have appeared in the film.

For example, Zhou Bili, who once played Fujita Tsuyoshi, will play Ah San, who is good at the powerful Vajra Finger in the film.

Qian Xiaohao, who once shouted "My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of God" in "Tai Chi Master", will play Hebi Weng, one of the two elders of Xuanming in the film.

It can be said that all the characters that can be named in the whole film are played by action stars.

It made countless martial arts and action fans at the scene excited and ecstatic.

"Director Jiang is really awesome. Only he can put together such a shocking cast!" A fan's voice was choked with excitement.

"Yes, so many kung fu superstars, just thinking about it makes me excited!"

"It shouldn't be like "The Forbidden Kingdom", right?"

"With Director Jiang here, what a joke!"

"Isn't the director Wang Jing?"

"Have you never heard of the so-called supreme director?"

A group of fans were arguing in the audience, while Jiang Heng and Cheng Long and others sat on the stage.

It was really because there were too many famous actors, and it took a long time for each of them to say a few words.

So the organizers put a lot of chairs on the stage, making it look like a variety show interview, while Jiang Heng, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Hong Jinbao and others who were sitting in the front row were sitting on the sofa.

"Wow, this scene is really lively!"

Cheng Long likes the lively scene, and the smile on his face has not stopped since he came on stage.

Hong Jinbao is even more so, leaning on the sofa, with a stronger aura than the big boss in "SPL".

Director Wang Jing, on the contrary, looks like a little transparent, sitting at the edge of the front row.

When the interview started, the reporter asked him what he thought.

Wang Jing said with a smile: "Of course I have to thank my boss, Director Jiang and General Manager Yu. Without them, there would be no movie.

It is well known that I filmed "The Demon Cult Master" 20 years ago. I wanted to make two parts, but unfortunately the first part failed at the box office and was soon taken off the screen. The second part is nowhere in sight. Zhao Min's words "Come to Dadu to find me" made the audience wait for 20 years!

Now, Zhang Wuji has finally come to Dadu. Let us welcome the most handsome Zhang Wuji in history with the warmest applause!"

After Wang Jing finished speaking, the whole audience applauded, and countless fans shouted "Director Jiang", "Director Jiang" in unison!

Cheng Long and Jet Li's faces changed a little. It was really because Jiang Heng was too popular that the two of them felt a little uncomfortable.

But the change in expression in such a moment was also captured by the reporters on the scene, and it was a good hype.

Let's talk about Jiang Heng again, let's start with his growth experience.

When he was young, it was the golden age of Hong Kong movies, and he can be said to have grown up watching the movies of Cheng Long, Jet Li and others.

It can be said that he had a dream of becoming a Kung Fu superstar when he was young.

It's just that the action movie market has been sluggish in recent years, and he has been obsessed with special effects blockbusters, so he rarely involves himself.

As for calling on all the brothers to co-star in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", it can be regarded as a dream of his youth!

After the speech, the scene was applauded again, and the atmosphere can be said to have reached its peak.

Afterwards, top stars such as Cheng Long and Jet Li spoke a few words, and those with less fame also spoke. The whole event lasted nearly two hours before it ended.

After the press conference, as usual, a banquet was held.

A group of people who have practiced martial arts gathered together to drink, which can't be described as lively, and the noise lasted until late at night.

The next day, the crew went straight to Hengdian to start filming the film.

Of course, not everyone went together, because some of them only made cameo appearances, just a few minutes of scenes, as long as they could join the crew according to the shooting schedule.

As the leading actor, Jiang Heng basically shot from beginning to end.

On the set, every time Jiang Heng was shooting, there would be a large group of people watching.

Just imagine how good Jiang Heng, who is known as the best kung fu in the Chinese film and television industry, is at shooting action scenes. Is he just exaggerating?

People like Zhou Bili don't believe in Jiang Heng's ability.

After all, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. If you say you are good at filming, everyone will admit it.

But if you say how good your kung fu is, they will not be so convinced.

As a result, when they saw Jiang Heng not using a double and personally performing fighting scenes, many people's expressions changed.

"How is it? Not bad?" Qian Xiaohao smiled at Zhou Bili beside him.

The two had worked together in "Fist of Fury". Huo Tingen, played by Qian Xiaohao, and Fujita Tsuyoshi, played by Zhou Bili, had a fight scene. Their private relationship was not very good, but at least they were familiar with each other.

Especially since they both came from Hong Kong to the mainland to film, their status was similar, so they naturally mixed together.

Zhou Bili nodded slightly, and said seriously: "Director Jiang's reaction is very fast, his movements are very standard, and his coordination is also very good. He is indeed quite capable!"

Qian Xiaohao smiled and said: "You have overlooked one thing, that is, Director Jiang's memory!"

Zhou Bili was stunned, and then reacted. Qian Xiaohao should be talking about the set of moves.

The specific moves of the action scene are not designed long in advance, but designed by the action director before the filming of the scene, and the actors set the moves.

Of course, there are also no sets of moves, and the two people just watch and fight.

And these sets of moves are basically figured out by the action director on the spot.

But Jiang Heng's reaction is that he can clearly remember all the moves and present them perfectly one by one.

To use the words in martial arts novels, everything can be learned at a glance. This is a natural martial arts genius!

So although Zhou Bili felt that Jiang Heng would definitely not be able to beat him in actual combat, he still had to admit that he was a great talent!

"By the way, pay more attention when acting with Director Jiang!" Qian Xiaohao suddenly said.

Zhou Bili smiled awkwardly, "I know, I must control the strength. If I really hurt him, even if I give him the money, it won't be enough!"

When he thought of this, he felt annoyed.

Sometimes, he really couldn't stop fighting, and the result was that he would hurt the actor in the opposite role, and the result was that it became more and more difficult to get a role.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, the scene of Zhang Wuji fighting Ah San was filmed, and he heard the phrase "real fight" that made him tremble with fear again!

Wang Jing, who was standing by, was startled and hurried over to persuade him, "Director Jiang, this is a martial arts film, it won't happen!" (End of this chapter)
