Chinese film industry can be said to be higher every year. It took only 6 years from 17.07 billion in 2012 to 60.98 billion in 2018, and this year's total box office has passed the 60 billion mark early. , The movie market is unanimously optimistic. And one IP masterpiece after another has become a big box office winner. Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior" series, Chen Sicheng's "Tang Detective" series, and then to Marvel Universe and "Fast and Passion", obviously the big IP and Big productions accounted for half of the movie box office.
In the domestic film world, in addition to the mature "Ip Man" series, "Wolf Warriors" series, "Tang Detective" series, etc., there is another big IP dedicated to Chinese mythology. That is early The "Fengshen Trilogy" was set up for shooting.
The story of "Fengshen" is not uncommon in our impressions, from the childhood "Fengshen Yanyi" to "Legend of the Gods", including "Nezha" which had a big box office just now in the summer to the upcoming "Chinese New Year" "Jiang Ziya", these are all film and television dramas derived from the "Fengshen" IP, and they have grown with us all the way, and now the live-action movie of the "Fengshen Trilogy" will soon meet with us, which is regarded as the most grand feat of this IP. Up.
, as the originator of Chinese myths and stories, the filming of the Fengshen story obviously attracted enough attention and attention. The grand scenes and the figures of the characters in the myths and legends have naturally become the points of most concern. What
currently knows is that "The Trilogy of Conferred Gods" is directed by Wu Ershan, the well-known director who made "Painted Skin 2" and "Looking for the Dragon". What he is good at is the shooting of magical fantasy movies, and Without exception, the director's work has a good reputation at the box office. In 2012, the director's "Painted Skin 2" received 726 million at the box office, breaking the 12 box office records of the year. In 2014, "Looking for the Dragon" once again set the box office record for Chinese movies at that time, with a box office of 1.68 billion.
From this point of view, Wu Ershan should be the most suitable candidate to be the director of "The Trilogy of Conferred Gods". After all, his experience here is the richest and most successful.
Behind the scenes, director Wu Ershan and his team spent about five years polishing the script. For the sake of completeness and coordination of the content, they produced the concept of three parts. Obviously, they mimic the Hollywood series of movies, but they have to Said that the trilogy method should be the safest for a big IP like Fengshen.
Let me talk about the cast that everyone cares about most. Before the filming of the
film, the crew released the news that they will use the audition method to find suitable actors for the film. At that time, this news surprised the entire movie world, because it means that the crew has created a god according to IP. The idea of a star lineup, but we didn’t know until the cast was announced that the characters in the audition are just small, and the real protagonist is still the strength of the circle. The known cast of
is also amazing enough, and you can see a lot of Wu Ershan's old partners in the "Fengshen Trilogy". For example, Huang Bo plays Jiang Ziya, the first protagonist, who has an absolute status in the story of Fengshen. We are very relieved of Huang Bo’s acting skills. From the early "Bull Fighting" to "Looking for the Dragon" to the self-directed and self-acted "A Good Show", Huang Bo's acting skills are only better, not the best. Playing Jiang Ziya is also considered popular. (But it’s just younger, haha) Chen Kun, who played "Looking for the Dragon" with
and Huang Bo, also appeared on the actor list. This time, he played Yuan Shi, one of the big bosses in the "Fengshen Trilogy". Tianzun is much less than Huang Bo in terms of drama, but his role is also one of the best in the world of Conferred God.
In addition to Huang Bo Chen Kun, Xia Yu and Yuan Quan are also joining. The role played by Xia Yu this time is Shen Gongbao, who is quite a story in the story of Fengshen. Judging from the released stills, Xia Yu is quite suitable for this role. What will be the character setting in the movie, but it is not difficult to play the role of Shen Gongbao with Xia Yu's acting skills and cheeks.
Yuan Quan plays Queen Jiang. Judging from the published posters, the back end of King Jiang, played by Yuan Quan, is solemn and majestic, but his eyes have hidden complex charm. It is not difficult for Yuan Quan who is acting by his eyes. In addition, Yuan Quan is also a well-known actor in the film industry. After "Captain of China", there is the Spring Festival file "囧 Ma", and there will be "The Trilogy of the Gods" in 2020, and her performance should be eye-catching enough.
Shang Wang Yinshou is played by Fei Xiang, Wuershan’s old partner, Fei Xiang’sHis face is quite recognizable. Although he has not participated in many movies, his acting skills are not bad. More importantly, the name Fei Xiang is well known, which makes everyone look forward to Fei Xiang's performance in the film.
In addition to the powerful actors mentioned above, "The Trilogy of Conferring the Gods" has also invited the super-big names to sit down. That is Xibo Hou Jichang played by Li Xuejian. Ji Chang's position in the Conferred God story is extremely high, and he is a key figure in the evolution of the entire Conferred God story, and Ji Chang's position in the Conferred God and Li Xuejian's position in the film and television circle complement each other. Having debuted for so many years, Li Xuejian can be regarded as famous all over the world. As the most important old drama bone in "The Trilogy of Conferred Gods", it obviously brings the quality of this movie to a new level.
And in order to shoot a big IP like Fengshen, the crew has spent 3 billion yuan to create an exclusive venue. In addition to building a studio covering an area of 800 acres and a total of 30,000 square meters in Lingshan, Qingdao, the location area is covered. It is as much as 500 acres. The "Fengshen Trilogy" carved in this way will surely be a milestone in Chinese magic movies.
Judging from the current popularity of movie fans and the attention of "The Trilogy of Conferred Gods", we can know that this magical masterpiece belonging to Chinese mythology has exploded before it was released. The first "Trilogy of Conferred Gods" "The Demon of Chaos" is also scheduled to be released in the summer of 2020, which is really exciting.
