Chapter 792 Novel Fight (1/3)
In the auditorium where "Shaolin Temple" was screened at Time Light and Shadow City in New York, the clean, elegant and elegant martial arts scenes in the screen made several viewers scream in unison.
Simmons turned his head and saw the picture on the screen, and then thought about the audience's reaction at this time, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Then, he found a seat where no one was sitting and sat down. Although he was looking at the screen, his ears were always erect and he was listening intently to the comments of the audience who were closer to him. The movie pictures on the screen,
He didn't look into it at all.
"Wow, is this Chinese Kung Fu?"
"How could there be such a fight? It's impossible. How could the things in the movie be real?"
"But it's really exciting, and the picture is simply perfect."
..
Listening to the audience's comments, Simmons gradually relaxed. It seemed that the audience had a good impression of "Shaolin Temple".
Carmichael Cinemas introduces a foreign language film every year, but apart from European films, there are very few profitable films. Of course, Carmike Cinemas rarely releases and releases films from countries other than Europe and America.
But China is an exception.
After all, China, like the United States, is the most powerful country in the world. China's national strength is even more powerful than that of the United States. A certain number of movies shot by Hollywood are introduced to the Chinese film market every year.
Well, the same is true here in the United States. This is a political task.
Carmichael Cinemas also introduces three or four Chinese movies every year, but they are usually hurriedly withdrawn within half a month of their release. The box office performance of the movies is really unsightly, and there are too few Chinese movies that can bring benefits to the company.
Well, it is rare that a Chinese film can win the recognition of American audiences in two or three years.
Simmons accidentally discovered "Shaolin Temple", which made the company's senior executives shine. To be honest, they had never seen such a unique fighting design scene.
Although it may be a bit exaggerated, it gives people an unparalleled feeling of refreshing shots, an experience they have never experienced before.
Therefore, after careful study and decision by the company, it cooperated with Oriental DreamWorks to release "Shaolin Temple".
You know, for Carmichael Cinemas, arranging 500 screens to screen "Shaolin Temple" is not a casual decision. Moreover, in addition to the gimmick of the screenwriter Yang Ming, this "Shaolin Temple" has no actors.
The lineup doesn't even have any visibility.
To a certain extent, the company took a lot of risks with this decision, but now it seems that the audience's response has been pretty good.
on the screen.
"Shaolin Temple" filmed by Lao Chai was screened unhurriedly and attracted cheers from the audience from time to time.
The scene of Jue Yuan, played by Ji Feihong, arriving at the Shaolin Temple and starting to learn martial arts, made all the viewers feel excited.
Although the action design is a bit too exaggerated, Ji Feihong himself is a practitioner. Years of hard training have made every move he makes full of an indescribable physical beauty.
Maybe everyone knows that the kung fu in movies is impossible to achieve in reality, but Ji Feihong's excellent kung fu foundation can still make people feel that he has indescribable charm.
The fighting may be fake, but the skill of the moves may be perfect.
Some of the more excited viewers couldn't help but dance. If it weren't for the fact that they were in a theater, they would immediately start making gestures according to the moves in the movie.
On the other hand, Yang Ming also spared no expense. In order to make the Shaolin Temple more magnificent, in addition to on-site shooting under the arrangement of the abbot, he also asked Lao Chai to shoot in some famous Taoist holy places across the country.
In order to make the shots of "Shaolin Temple" more perfect, Lao Chai visited several Taoist holy places in China.
This resulted in the ink wonderland-like picture on the screen now.
Especially in the aerial shots, the Shaolin Temple, located in the high mountains, is magnificent, with green tiles and red eaves, rising high above the clouds. Especially the several buildings built in dangerous places made the American audience in the theater call them ingenious.
It's incredible.
The unique fighting design and the delicate images of ink and wash made the American audience in the theater so mesmerized and deeply attracted by the movie.
The script of "Shaolin Temple" was revised by Yang Ming based on the 1982 version of his previous life. The basic outline has not changed, but the shooting techniques and martial arts scene design have undergone earth-shaking changes.
After all, the scenes and some dialogues in the version of Jet Li in his previous life are indeed a bit out of place now.
But Yang Ming did not make any major changes to the outline of the script.
It's not like Andy Lau's version of "Shaolin Temple" in his previous life. The plot is very depressing and sadistic.
I guess foreigners will definitely not buy it.
Therefore, Yang Ming thought about it and did not modify the outline of "Shaolin Temple" much. His father was killed, he learned martial arts to endure it, and finally avenged the blood. Coupled with the fast-paced fighting, to be honest, it was still the same Hollywood style at heart.
If we really study it carefully, in this classic version of "Shaolin Temple" in the previous life, except for the fact that Jue Yuan did not choose the shepherd girl at the end, it makes people feel uncomfortable to continue to become a monk.
The rest of the plot is completely Hollywood and feels extremely familiar.
According to his own analysis, Yang Ming could not help but be stunned for a long time. It seemed that in his previous life, it was not that China could not produce good-looking movies, but that the local film industry was indeed too impetuous.
Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, the plot development rhythm of "Shaolin Temple" is no different from the so-called Hollywood blockbusters. However, at that time, "Shaolin Temple" did not imitate Hollywood blockbusters at all, but was completely adapted from ancient folklore.
In particular, it can be seen that it is not that China cannot make good movies, but that no one is willing to make them carefully.
Now Yang Ming has brought this classic from the previous life to the present life. The core has basically not been modified, but has been packaged. Now it is still a success in the Greater China Cultural District of East Asia. The response from the audience in the United States seems to be good.
After more than 90 minutes, the film reached the end. Jue Yuan finally chose to become a monk and gave up love, which made everyone sigh.
"Ascetics, they are similar to those nuns."
When many viewers saw this scene, they thought of churches in the Western world. This is religion. Although they could not understand Jue Yuan's actions, they still showed respect.
Compared with female viewers who felt disappointed and sad at the end of the movie, male viewers were extremely excited.
The fight design in this Temple Monk movie was an eye-opener for them. They had never seen a Kung Fu movie with such fast fighting pace and extremely gorgeous moves. The fight scenes in the Hollywood blockbusters they had watched before were different from this one. Compared to movies.
They couldn't help but feel like "the dirt is falling off".
After watching this movie, many viewers took out their mobile phones to send messages to their friends and classmates to introduce this unique Kung Fu movie.
