Chapter 344 The most beautiful love special effects movie
The premiere of White Snake: Origin was scheduled for Friday, February 2. The reason why the weekend was not chosen was because those two days happened to be the Little New Year in both the south and the north.
Although Jiang Heng didn't care much about holidays, he didn't want to disrupt other people's reunions, so he chose a weekday as the premiere date.
As for the time, it was scheduled for 2 pm, when he and Jing Tian would walk on the red carpet for an interview.
After so many premiere ceremonies, the so-called media interviews and production process basically have a fixed promotional formula.
Only the audience cares more about this aspect, and the film's creators and guests present are no longer surprised.
What they discussed more privately was the hotly anticipated movie "Avatar", which is really too popular.
Because the film's 3D effects are outstanding, surpassing "Lion Camel Ridge".
Even compared with "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons Strike Back" which is said to have ushered in a new era of 3D movies in the world, it can still compete.
There are also some bloggers who usually praise foreign countries, saying that the content shown in "Journey to the West" is too unreal, or the planet Pandora in "Avatar" is more like a real world.
He also claimed that "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was just released earlier, and if it was released in the same period as "Avatar", it would definitely not be able to compete with the other.
The guests present were naturally not so talkative, but they all kept expressing their admiration for the super shocking effects of "Avatar".
Lu Chuan even said with great emotion that the era of 3D special effects has really arrived.
If they don't transform themselves into making special effects blockbusters, they will definitely have no place in the commercial film market in the future.
Jiang Wen asked, what are you going to shoot?
Lu Chuan said that she was still looking for a script, but in fact she had already set her sights on "Ghost Blows Out the Light", but the copyright and investment had not yet been finalized, so naturally she didn't dare to say anything casually.
After a while, it was time for the main film to be played. After the dragon logo and the iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video logos, the first thing that caught the audience's eyes was a peach tree with petals blown up by the breeze.
One of the peach petals was flying in the camera, but through its trajectory it revealed the lush valley, the cascading waterfall, the clear and calm lake. The scenery was beautiful and pleasant, just like a paradise.
Many female viewers felt that their hearts were melting at this moment.
"It's so beautiful. I really want to travel to this place!"
“This shouldn’t be a real-life shoot, right?”
"Of course not. Where in reality is there such a beautiful place?"
"Director Jiang Heng really understands art and is great at composition!"
"Every frame can be used as a screen saver!"
While the audience was discussing, on the big screen, a huge white python was seen moving slowly among the rocks. The bright sunlight radiated from the hole above in a cylindrical shape, falling slowly like peach blossom rain. The picture was as beautiful as a dream.
The audience didn't know how to describe it in words, and just kept making "hissing" and "whoosh" sounds to inhale.
A white light flashed behind the stone, and Xiaobai, played by Jing Tian, was wearing a white gauze dress and a headband. She slowly rose in the "peach blossom rain" in the sky, muttering something in the air and constantly making magic gestures in her hands.
The audience was instantly excited, and many of them said excitedly: "Jing Tian's look is so beautiful, I really like it!"
"Director Jiang is such a great photographer!"
"It's because the young lady has a good foundation!"
Although the box office and reputation of "Warring States" collapsed, the number of Jing Tian's fans has not decreased. When "White Snake: Origin" is officially released, there will surely be more fans of her.
On the big screen, Jing Tian and Zhao Liying were in the water, revealing their fair shoulders. The latter even came over, put her hands on Jing Tian's shoulders, and leaned her head against him. The young audience watching the scene felt itchy and secretly exclaimed in surprise.
"Xiaoqing's chubby face looks so cute!"
"He's obviously very handsome!"
“It’s very beautiful!”
There are certain differences in aesthetic tastes between men and women. Most girls think Zhao Liying is very beautiful, but most boys think she is just cute.
The plot continues, Xiaobai fails to break through, but he doesn't know where the inner demon is. Xiaoqing gives the pearl hairpin to Xiaobai, and then he finds out that there are sealed memories inside. After that, the four-character title "White Snake Origin" appears, and another melodious opening theme song plays.
The main story of the film begins five hundred years ago.
At the end of the late Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos and demons and ghosts appeared everywhere. The state master Taiyin Zhenren ordered the people to catch snakes to help them practice Taoism.
On a huge official ship, soldiers were walking around on duty, and maids were lining up to carry things. Xiaobai, played by Jing Tian, dressed as a maid and walked at the end of the team.
She took advantage of the people around her not paying attention and dodged to hide in the dark, her movements were very agile. Coupled with her slightly frowning expression, her style was actually a bit playful.
The young lady jumped up and down, quietly and quickly killing several armored soldiers. It was a bloody scene, but it somehow brought a sense of humor.
"I really like Jing Tian more and more!"
"Her role as Xiao Bai is so cute!"
But she soon became in a state of disgrace because her attempt to assassinate the Imperial Master failed, and she was chased around by a young Taoist priest with a white veil on his face, who waved his hand and shot out several yellow talismans.
"This action is obviously that of a card master!"
"Director Jiang really likes League of Legends!"
The action scenes in "White Snake: Origin" continue the previous style, just as swift and fierce as before.
Jing Tian naturally cannot perform many difficult moves, but he has a substitute.
Zhang Jin, who played the young Taoist priest, was a master himself, so he fought very beautifully.
The young Taoist priest cast a spell and released hundreds of yellow talismans in an array in the air. With a wave of his hand, six of them flew towards Xiaobai like flying knives, but Xiaobai dodged them swiftly and stabbed into the deck like knives. The audience was very nervous for Xiaobai. It was obvious that they were not on the same level!
Xiaobai was no match for the opponent and was soon thrown into the water. When he woke up, he was in a farmhouse.
She quickly jumped out of bed and took a alert posture with a nervous look on her face, but she was not in danger. Instead, she was rescued by a young farm boy named Xu Xuan.
Well, it’s another very clichéd hero-saving-beauty plot.
Although it sounds a bit cliché, it really works.
In "A Chinese Ghost Story", Ning Caichen saved the little fox demon Nie Xiaoqian who was injured by Xiahou, and the latter fell in love with him without hesitation. This is obviously more eventful.
Because Xu Xuan wanted to help Xiaobai regain his memory first, he and Dudou accidentally fell off a cliff, and it was Xiaobai who rescued them.
Only then did he realize that the fairy-like girl he saved actually knew magic.
Could it be a monster?
But considering how beautiful it is, it doesn’t matter anymore.
Even the audience in the venue felt that the girl on the big screen, flying and jumping towards the cliff, dressed in white as white as snow, with fluttering sleeves, and full of fairy spirit, was so beautiful that it was intoxicating.
After finding the wooden compass, Xiaobai regained some of his memories and remembered his master's assassination order and the failure of the mission.
Seeing that she was in a daze and didn't speak for a long time, Xu Xuan patted her on the shoulder from behind.
Xiaobai subconsciously waved his hand and Xu Xuan, who was holding the umbrella, fell off the cliff. Xiaobai went to the edge of the cliff and saw the oil-paper umbrella with magic power carrying Xu Xuan flying up.
Xu Xuan happily pulled Xiaobai to take her along. The latter was unhappy at first and waved her hand to gather her magic power to fight. However, seeing the picturesque scenery below, she was also a little stunned for a while.
The mountains were covered with red leaves, green grass, white petals, and protruding peaks. What was even more beautiful was that when the two people flew low over, countless petals flew up like smoke, which was magnificent.
"Fuck, this picture is too beautiful!"
"More romantic than Titanic!"
"It has to be Director Jiang. They are both romantic special effects blockbusters, but A Chinese Ghost Story pales in comparison to this one!"
