Chapter 789 Kung Fu Movie (1/3)

Yang Ming also learned from Song Hongbao's words the difference between form, meaning and mind. The two are not like what ordinary people in the outside world say, mind is both form and intention. There is a big difference.

The most important thing is that the mother boxing of Xinyi Quan is the 'cross handle', while the basic boxer of Xingyi Quan is the 'three body posture', which is fundamentally different from the inner three combinations and the outer three combinations of the 'cross handle' of Xinyi Liuhe Quan.

of.

Xinyi Liuhe Quan was created by the national hero Yue Fei, while Xingyi Quan was formed in the late Qing Dynasty and became an independent type of boxing.

Perhaps because Xingyi Quan appeared relatively late and has a closer connection with contemporary times, most people in the world generally know Xingyiquan but not the mind. In addition, ordinary people cannot distinguish the connection between Xingyiquan and Xinyiquan at all.

In fact, even if Song Hongbao himself is not only skilled in the twelve-shaped boxing of Xinyi Liuhe Quan, he also has deep attainments in the twelve-shaped boxing of Xingyiquan. He is very familiar with both major boxing techniques.

Yang Ming was so happy to see Lie Xin that he chatted with Song Hongbao for a long time. He even called his senior brother Liang Zhidan to come over. After dinner together, they went to the martial arts gym to compete.

The competition between Tony Leung and Song Hongbao also opened Yang Ming's eyes and gained a lot. The idea of ​​​​making a kung fu movie became stronger and stronger.

Even when he returned home, his mind still kept thinking about the moves he made during the afternoon sparring session between Liang Zhidan and Song Hongbao.

In the heart of every Chinese, there is a martial arts dream.

Punish the evil and promote the good, act chivalrously and do justice, and be happy with your grudges!

In particular, Yang Ming's soul comes from a world where martial arts novels and kung fu movies were popular in the previous life. The color of martial arts in this world is indeed a bit lighter.

Yang Ming has been thinking about a problem. He has countless classic movie resources in his previous life, which can guarantee that for at least the next fifteen years, he will not have to worry about the box office of the movie.

Even after fifteen years, when Oriental DreamWorks reaches a certain height, it will definitely have a huge scriptwriting system, and there will definitely be no shortage of good scripts.

But for some reason, Yang Ming always felt that something was missing.

It seems a little unwilling.

Is "2012" a success?

From a box office perspective alone, Yang Ming is very successful.

But he didn't know why, he always felt that this was not what he wanted.

Even with the epic special effects shown in this movie, he still felt a little regretful.

The future movie trend is that special effects will be popular. This is certain, and this has been proven in previous lives.

Especially the spectacular scenes in science fiction movies have become the basic guarantee of box office revenue.

In the previous life, the special effects production scenes in the movies released every year became increasingly larger and more spectacular, so much so that later on, competition in special effects production has become a basic element among blockbusters.

Domestic films are often dubbed the 'xxx Hollywood blockbuster special effects production team', and they rack up box office in the domestic film market. This shows that their plan is successful, but the so-called domestic film companies spend more than 100 million to produce and use countless financial resources to shoot.

The special effects blockbuster hit the North American and European film markets without even making a splash.

Speaking of which, it is just to fool the Chinese people.

It cannot be denied that domestic films invest in special effects. Indeed, there are several films with heavy investment in special effects that have achieved relatively good box office results.

But if you really look at the rankings of domestic films in previous years, you will find that the role of special effects in film production is not so obvious for the domestic films that occupy the top spot.

The most notable example is "Journey to Thailand", the box office champion in 2012. With a box office of 1.267 billion, it beat "Titanic" with a box office of more than 900 million, becoming the first box office of that year.

Does this movie have special effects?

No.

However, Yang Ming also admitted that there were indeed too many accidental factors why this movie achieved such amazing box office results.

But I have to say that Xu Zheng’s comedy element is a very important reason.

In the domestic film market in 2012, which was also the previous life, the special effects blockbuster "Painted Skin 2", which was praised by countless media and cost hundreds of millions of dollars to shoot, was only the fourth in the box office of that year, and above "Painted Skin 2", it ranked third The movie of the three is "Zodiac".

A so-called magical blockbuster with extremely luxurious special effects and gorgeous scenes, "Twelve Zodiac Signs" was filmed by Brother Long who was over 50 years old and was known as the old, weak, sick and disabled.

This really surprised many people at the time.

When everyone thought that Brother Long was old and dead, his Kung Fu movies gave many people a loud slap in the face.

"Zodiac", 881 million box office;

"Painted Skin 2", 703 million box office;

There was a difference of nearly 200 million in movie box office figures between the two, which really shocked everyone at the time.

Moreover, "The Lion" filmed by Brother Long in 2015 still received box office data of 743 million!

This makes people have to admit Brother Long's evergreen charm in the film industry.

If we look at it from another perspective and take away the charm of Long Ge as a kung fu superstar for many years, then why do these two kung fu movies shot when he was over 50 years old still attract countless domestic audiences to buy tickets and watch them?

Why do audiences still buy it so much?

One thing is certain, that is, Brother Long's skills are definitely not as strong as when he was young, and the movie scenes shot by Brother Long now are definitely more gorgeous than before!

In his previous life, Yang Ming had been thinking about this issue. Even around him, many friends in the film industry were discussing this reason.

He had heard countless answers, all kinds of answers, but none of them satisfied him.

But in this life, after having such a fantastic life experience, he also had a vague answer in his heart.

The Kung Fu movies made by Long Ge in his previous life in his forties are still enduring and have been recognized by countless movie fans. The key point lies in the first two words: "Kung Fu"!

effort!

Kung Fu movie!

In previous lives, it has been regarded as an ordinary film type by countless filmmakers, and it has been regarded by countless directors as a shooting method to attract audiences and movie fans.

It seems that everyone has long forgotten the sensation caused when Bruce Lee's kung fu movies were released in North America.

I have long forgotten that whenever foreigners mention China, they will raise their thumbs and say: Chinese Kung Fu!

China, China, martial arts, and kung fu, when these are connected in series and shown through movies, they affect the entire world in an era. Even after more than ten years, many foreigners' first impression of China is Chinese kung fu!

In the previous life, Kung Fu movies seemed to have been considered by everyone to have lost their glory after 2000. The shock that Kung Fu movies in Hong Kong films left to the world back then is gone forever.

Is this really the case?

Yang Ming once carefully studied the box office rankings of domestic movies in previous lives. He found that maybe the box office champion every year was not a kung fu movie, but there must be a kung fu movie in the top five.

Especially the Kung Fu superstars who left a deep impression on a generation back then. Whenever there is a movie starring them, the box office data is very good.
