In 1910, in a jungle at the junction of China and Myanmar, a British explorer saw an old monk sitting cross-legged in the jungle slowly rising into the sky in front of his eyes and floating over the jungle.
When he tried to get closer, he found that the old monk suddenly disappeared out of thin air and was never seen again.
Also, Huang Yanqiu, a Hebei farmer who had a miraculous experience, "flyed" from rural Hebei to Nanjing and Shanghai overnight. So far, it has not been possible to figure out "who was flying on his back."

and Dean Karnazes, known as "Naruto".
He has extraordinary abilities and potential. His muscles will not get tired. He once ran 350 miles without sleep, and could run a marathon every day for 50 consecutive days.
All these things make us ask, "Are there really aliens in the world?"
If you still have questions, maybe the blockbuster " Under the Aliens", which will be released in the summer, can give you some thoughts:
"Under the Stranger"
is adapted from the comic "Under the Stranger" created by the Chinese cartoonist Mi Er. The original comic
received huge attention as soon as it was released. While the number of views exceeded 30 billion, the reputation was also quite good, with an average score of 8.8 on Douban.
Such a top IP, film and television will definitely help it break through the original circle and attract more people's attention, but the question is who to find the director?
took over this big job, and the person who turned the top Chinese comic masterpiece into a movie was none other than the director who had been urged to update for a year - Wu Ershan.
Naturally, "Wulshan Carefully Selected" has become another key factor in the highly anticipated movie.
Since the release of "Fengshen" last summer, director Wu Ershan has a new title - the craftsman of Chinese special effects blockbusters.
He definitely has both ideas and skills on how to create special effects blockbusters.
He who injected fantasy imagination into Fengshen has brought his oriental aesthetic imagination into the new film this time.
Now that we are talking about this, let’s first talk about what kind of story this movie is.
The film tells the story of Zhang Chulan (Hu Xianxu), who has always hidden his identity as a foreigner. After meeting the mysterious immortal girl Feng Baobao (played by Li Wanda), he was involved in the vortex of fighting between different alien sects.
As the secret of Zhang Chulan being the successor of the mysterious skill "Qi Ti Origin" was made public, the alien world started a fierce competition around him.
Various forces such as Nadutong, Quanxingpai, Tianxiahui, and Tianyimen appeared one by one, and a melee was about to break out. In the process, Zhang Chulan also accidentally revealed the shocking secret of the year.
Alien identity, mysterious skills, sect fighting...
These all leave a lot of room for special effects. Of course, Wuershan will not let us down.
Let’s first watch a few special effects clips to satisfy your eyes.
The highlight of "Under the Strangers" is the appearance and struggle of the strangers on all sides. How to present the imaginative skills in the comics, the film's creative team has put in a lot of effort.
They have found concepts from Chinese meridian science to support various superpower skills. Each character's Qi has its own color, and the displayed effect is both cool and well-founded.
is like Zhang Chulan’s Golden Light Technique, which uses the effect of the sun’s corona to outline the body with golden lines. Especially the sense of energy flow created by the special effects brings great visual shock once the technique is activated.
Under particularly large impact, the protective cover will also crack.
and his Yang Wu Lei, from the white in the original work to the red that represents "fire" in the five elements, it also corresponds to the "heart" organ, which is especially what this exercise should look like.
Especially when confronting Zhang Lingyu's Yin Wulei, the color contrast presented must be particularly enjoyable to watch on the big screen.
Shen Chong’s high-interest loan is presented with a rainbow effect, giving people an unfathomable feeling.
Xia He’s Prajna Palm has a pink lotus flower, which matches the color of the character and the name of the exercise.
Liu Yanyan's puppetry is presented through a "thread"-like effect, which is very vivid, especially when the zombies are "pulled out" from the ground, it is instantly terrifying.
In order to successfully shoot this Chinese comic blockbuster, the creative team led by Wu Ershan also paid special attention to the presentation of the comic feel.
Whether it is the use of the camera or the artistic design of each character, they are all designed to satisfy three words - the sense of comics.
looks like Xia He, played by Naran, whose original pure pink hair color has been adjusted many times and is now a dark pink with highlights.
gives people the feeling that it can be seen in reality, but the picture presentation has a surreal double feeling.
When encountering a different person and using his powers, you can truly experience what it means to bring comics into reality.
The lighting effects on site are also designed according to the different pictures of each scene.
can achieve this "industrial level", and it really deserves to be popular!
In terms of plot adaptation, Wu Ershan made an adaptation closer to reality this time while respecting the original work.
not only invited the original author Mi Er to personally check the film, but also added some details that were not shown in the original comics.
also recruited script adaptation plans from comic fans. After many studies, it finally rewarded 10 selected candidates with a reward of 10,000 yuan each.
The special effects technology is excellent, and the script is loyal to the original work, but there is still a key question, who will act?
Do you still remember the most popular group of people last summer?
is good, it is the Fengshen Proton Group.
Although the "Proton Group" is absent this year, the "Inhuman Group" is on top!
"Under the Strangers" is a big project that Wu Ershan has been preparing for many years. The auditions for the Strangers will start in 2021. Casting is done half a year in advance, which means training is started half a year in advance.
After all, no matter how cool the special effects are, the actor’s own movements must also keep up.
Li Wanda, who plays Feng Baobao, is already very talented in martial arts and has participated in " Ip Man 4".
In order to become slimmer, she jumps rope for an hour every day, practices yoga in sweat clothes, and wraps herself in plastic wrap to sweat.
As a result, she became thinner and stronger. After training in various martial arts movements, she also won the first prize in the martial arts competition.
Naran, who plays Xia He, was given a snake fist in the movie, which looks soft but actually requires strength.
And because there are many difficult movements, her core needs to be stable.
I have to say that the compatibility between Naran and Xia He is really high. The action of getting off the motorcycle brings Xia He's charm to the extreme.
Nar Naqian’s Feng Sasha Yan wears high heels to “fight” throughout the whole process. Coupled with the super speed of Baibuquan, it is a difficult point that needs to be overcome.
Lancia’s Liu Yanyan, after training, performed Tai Chi like a master.
Feng Shaofeng, who plays Shen Chong, joined the group for training 10 months in advance in order to perfect his body movements.
The training camp opened by the Yiren Group once again fulfilled the words of Director Wu Ershan "Instead of letting actors create value for the movie, it is better to let the movie create value for the actors."
Qingshi dared to assert that "The Stranger" After "Part 2" is released, the actors of this group of strangers will definitely be able to make a comeback with the movie.
"What I have always wanted to do is to make Chinese super blockbusters for young audiences."
This is what director Wu Ershan said when promoting his first trilogy film "Fengshen". raving".
At the time, this sentence seemed indeed “crazy”.
Looking back now, he really did this sentence.
The 2021 Chinese Movie Audience Survey Report shows that in the survey on "Film Types Missing in Theater Releases", fantasy/science fiction films have the highest voice.
In 2019, Guo Fan’s " The Wandering Earth" told us that Chinese science fiction blockbusters can also be shot well.
This was once again proven by " The Wandering Earth 2" four years later.
So who will support the Chinese fantasy blockbuster scene? The answer is also obvious: "Fengshen".
And even more fortunately, only one year later, we have another Chinese fantasy blockbuster - "Under the Stranger".
Whether it is "Fengshen" which ignited the summer season last year, or "Under the Stranger" which is about to ignite the summer season this year, the two movies have one thing in common.
,000-year-old national myth "Feng Shen" is about ancient aliens, and 30 billion clicks "Under the Alien" is about modern aliens.
Digging deeper from this point, it is actually what Wuershan has been doing - promoting traditional Chinese culture.
Many shots in "Fengshen" are full of creativity and imagination, vividly showing the fantasy color of the ancient mythical world.
At the same time, the film is very innovative in the design of the story and characters, and even goes eccentric, deconstructing a brand new "story of the gods" for us.
In the movie "Under the Strangers", starting from the rare group of "strangers", we popularize the concept of "Qi" in traditional Chinese culture.
What is a "foreign person"?
What is "Qi"?
The movie uses many of our current elements, and combines contemporary attributes to tell the story, making people feel more immersed.
For example, the four major sects mentioned in the movie: Nadutong, Quanxing, Tianxiahui, and Tianyimen.
is accessible everywhere. On the surface it is a courier company, but in fact it is an organization designed to maintain order in the world.
As soon as the word express came out, this company suddenly became down-to-earth, right?
There is also Tianxiahui, a group with a market value of 300 billion. Who doesn’t want to get offers from big companies? The soul of a migrant worker awakened immediately!
Quanxing sect, a sect that can use its own powers at will, focuses on letting oneself go.
The four characters of Quanxing Kuang Penetrating Intestinal Poison, Bone Scraper, Bane Seedling, and Thunder Smoke Cannon correspond to wine, sex, wealth, and qi respectively.
Tianyimen is similar to a famous and upright family in martial arts novels.
The male protagonist Zhang Chulan is an ordinary sophomore, and Feng Baobao is a girl who speaks Sichuan dialect. The dialect is really a plus!
The movie appears in a state that is more in line with real life, giving this "stranger" story a real sense. This group of people may be the people around us, very close to the Taoist philosophy of "the small hermit hides in the wild, the big hermit hides in the city" Thought. The expression of
is also consistent with the original intention of the original author Mi Er to create comics.
"What would you do if one day you find that you are different from others?"
In fact, in real life, everyone is different. Does this mean that each of us may be a different person?
As for the aliens in the movie, some are born aliens, and the other part rely on acquired practice.
Cultivation is a word that contains the connotation of traditional Chinese culture, just like the core idea conveyed to us by the original book "Under One Person": the more you can't stand it, the harder it is to practice.
html Come to the theater on July 26th to watch our own national style superpower blockbuster and our own oriental superpower story.
