Can party.Netizens were generally happy when they learned that "Under the Stranger" was scheduled to be released. Not only am I excited to witness the glory of Chinese comics on the big screen, but also because after "Feng Shen 2" missed the summer release this year, there will be another "Wulshan Strictly Selected" movie to compete in the summer release, which makes up for everyone. regret.
In last year's summer movie release, "Fengshen" was a keyword that couldn't be missed. The audience witnessed it starting from a low position and counterattacking all the way. Not only did it finally achieve a box office result of 2.634 billion, Fengshen Proton Group became popular all summer, allowing everyone to see the powerful appeal of "Wulshan Strict Selection". This year, "Feng Shen 2" missed the summer release due to post-production progress. Fortunately, "Under the Stranger" has taken up the spot, and the audience has new expectations.
"Under the Stranger", as the light of Chinese comics, not only has a huge fan base of comics and animations, but last year's drama version of "Under the Stranger" also received high popularity and praise. The play stars Peng Yuchang, Hou Minghao, Wang Yinglu and others, and has a Douban score of 8.1.
Like the "Feng Shen" trilogy, Wu Ershan also polished "Under One Person" into a movie trilogy. The reason why he chose this work is that "it can transform the oriental concepts of yin and yang and vitality that we originally thought were mysterious into a particularly youthful and fashionable way to express them." So everyone will see a film on the big screen that is completely different from any previous genre: Chinese style, fantasy, action, youth, comedy...
Although the genre is unconventional, it has Wuershan's golden signature. version of "Under the Strangers" has high expectations. Regardless of the early " Painted Skin 2", "Xun Long Jue", or the "Feng Shen" trilogy, Wu Ershan has shown top standards in terms of artistic aesthetics, technical control, and selection and training of actors.
In the preview released this time, strangers from various sects take turns to appear, and dazzling skills such as golden light magic, thunder magic, spirit arresting generals, puppet magic and famous scenes in comics are presented one by one. The young, fun and even maverick temperament of the film is also fully demonstrated.

A huge modern oriental fantasy world view and a fascinating world of Chinese style and supernatural powers
The movie is called "Under the Stranger", so what is a strange person? They are hidden among thousands of ordinary people and can sense and use the innate Qi (same sound as "qi") in their bodies to perform supernatural powers. "Qi" as an ancient Chinese philosophical concept has been recorded in many traditional books, whether it is "God is used to store Qi, and Qi is used to store form" ("Guan Yinzi·Liu Dagger") or "Heaven and earth were formed from Yuan Qi" ("Yuan Qi") "He Guanzi·Tai Lu"), all emphasized that "Qi" is the life energy that generates and constitutes all things in the world.
In movies, there are many such settings and plots rooted in traditional Chinese culture. These together constitute China's unique supernatural culture and a supernatural world view that only Chinese people can understand. Wu Ershan said that the most attractive thing about comics is that it combines the most traditional and fashionable things in China. "If "The Trilogy of the Gods" is our protection and respect for traditional culture, then "The Stranger" "Underneath" is how to integrate traditional culture into contemporary life."As a leader in Chinese-language fantasy films, Wu Ershan has been using the most advanced film technology to continue to promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture. In the
film, Zhang Chulan (played by Hu Xianxu), who has always hidden his identity as a foreigner, has been involved in the vortex of fighting between different alien sects since he met the mysterious Feng Baobao (played by Li Wanda). The villain of the "All-Sex Sect" Shen Chong (played by Feng Shaofeng), Xia He (played by Naran), "Tianxiahui" daughter Feng Shayan (played by Nar Naqian), Xiangxi "Puppetry" successor Liu Yanyan (played by Lan Xiya), "Everywhere" Executives Xu San (played by Qiao Zhenyu), Xu Si (played by Song Ningfeng), "Tianyimen" "high-gong" disciple Zhang Lingyu (played by Wu Jiakai) and other forces from all sides appeared one by one, presenting a complex world of national style and superpowers.
From the national myth of 3000 to the peak of 30 billion, the famous scene of the national comic "breaks the dimension"
The domestic comic "Under One Man" is due to its grand world view, traditional and extremely novel power settings and rich and complex characters. , has become the "peak Chinese comic" among many people, and this is also the first time it has been put on the big screen. Talking about the original intention of creation, in addition to the fascination with the world of Chinese style and superpowers in comics, the expansion of genres is also an important reason. "There are very few comic-book movies on our screens, and different movies like "Under the Stranger" Stories that are capable, have fantasy settings, and happen around young people are even rarer. What I have always been interested in and hope to do is to fill the gaps in different types of Chinese movies. Trilogy", to the adaptation of the Chinese comic "Under the Stranger", which has a peak of 30 billion views, Wu Ershan continues to challenge scarce themes, innovatively expresses traditional culture, and continues to "dominate" the big screen.

"Wulshan Strictly Selected" has launched a new "Irregular Training Camp". All young actors are trained
In order to better present the status of aliens in the film, those who have rich experience in the "Fengshen Performing Arts Training Camp" Director Wu Ershan opened the "Alien Training Camp" for casting and training. In addition to the familiar global auditions and harsh elimination system, the actors also have to study traditional martial arts, traditional culture, professional performance and other courses, as well as regularly try out makeup and report on performances. "Wulshan Strict Selection" plus "Devil Training Camp", the crew used ingenuity and perseverance to create a unique alien world. In order to get closer to the character image, Wu Ershan conducted "special training" for Hu Xianxu in addition to martial arts training, asking him to speak a talk show for everyone every day. Li Wanda was nominated for the Academy Award for Best New Actor for the movie " Ip Man 4". This time she will play the role of Feng Baobao, a martial arts expert. For this purpose, she has learned Bagua Zhang, Bajiquan, Tai Chi and Xingyiquan. After completing the filming, she participated in the Beijing Traditional Martial Arts Championship and won the first prize in the youth category of women's Bajiquan.
Naran and Narnaqi, who shined brilliantly in " Fengshen Part 1 ", just left the "Fengshen Performing Arts Training Camp" and then entered the "Alien Training Camp". This time they will appear A completely different look. In order to fit Xia He's charming temperament, Naran not only learned Bagua Zhang, Bajiquan, Snake Boxing, Xingyiquan, Tai Chi, etc., but also mastered new skills such as pole dancing and riding a motorcycle, and moved softly with every move. The middle belt is strong, showing the beauty of being able to move a thousand pounds. In order to adapt to Feng Shayan's "Hundred Steps Fist" ability, Narnaxi, who was glimpsed in the easter egg of "Apotheosis of the Gods Part 1", specially learned the Fanzi Fist and the Through Arm Fist. Combined boxing techniques.In addition, young actors such as Lan Xiya and Wu Jiakai also trained hard in the training camp and polished their roles carefully. I believe that the sincerity and hard work of the creators will eventually be presented in every move on the big screen.
