Chapter 423: Lord Tang appears
Paradise Island, the story is set on an island in the Pacific Ocean, although the beginning of the movie is enough to make people feel amazing, but the survival and battle on the island is the feature film.
Yan Luo is the protagonist, and the setting is to practice Tai Chi and Baguazhang.
Tai Chi has a yin and yang fish pattern, and Bagua has a gossip pattern, all of which have a philosophical conception, and Westerners are still more curious about these. Just like Naruto will be popular all over the world in the future, and its popularity in Europe and the United States will even far exceed that of One Piece, the portrayal of the characters will surpass the Hokage, but the freshness that the Hokage brings to Europeans and Americans is something that One Piece does not have.
On the surface, the Hokage is talking about ninja and declaring Japanese culture, but it is actually rooted in Chinese culture and philosophy.
If it's a real ninja, what ninjutsu is there? There's not much to dig up at all.
This animation,In fact, it uses Chinese culture.,For example, the five elements of retreat,Gold, wood, water, fire and earth,The concept of the five elements comes from China.,The term retreat also comes from Taoism.,In the animation,Escape has become ninjutsu。 In the later period, Yin and Yang Escape, Immortal Mode, and Immortal Law are all in the Taoist lineage, and Chakra is a Buddhist concept.
Think about it, without Chakra, without the Five Elements Escape Technique, without the Yin Yang Escape and Immortal Law as a late-stage ability, this animation will lose its skeleton.
Even the multiple shadow clones are recorded in the Taoist book, Ge Hong's "Hug Puff", which records Zuo Ci's technique of change, one person is a hundred, a hundred people are a thousand, and a thousand people are ten thousand!
Eight Gate Dunjia? From the Taoist technique: Qimen Dunjia, it is an important component of ancient Chinese Kanyu and Yin and Yang techniques.
Those tailed beasts and nine-tailed foxes come from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Sun Wukong comes from Journey to the West, and King Mu is also derived from the "Eight Horses" of King Mu of Zhou.
Ninja's physical arts, ninjutsu, and illusion are three major settings, ninjutsu is actually Chinese Taoism, illusion comes from some magical powers recorded in Chinese Taoist classics, physical arts such as Xiao Li's drunken boxing and the gossip of the Hyuga family, directly from China The martial arts were taken over, and the sub-scenes of Xiao Li playing drunken boxing are exactly the same as the pictures of Jackie Chan's movies, and they have not changed at all.
It can be said that Naruto has a "ninja" skin, the connotation is the oldest and most precious thing in Chinese culture, and then filled with blood and plot as flesh and blood, Chinese feel kind and tall when they see it, and foreigners are fascinated by it.
I think ninjas are so amazing and cool.
As everyone knows, where are these ninjas? It's completely a cultivator.
Americans' acceptance of Xianxia culture is still very strong, and in the future, the Internet will go abroad, and the most popular in foreign countries is not those Western illusion magic, but Xianxia cultivation.
Fortunately, although Naruto took these, Japan is not as shameless as South Korea, and if it is replaced by South Korea, I am afraid that these will really become Korean culture.
During the Qing Dynasty, China's yin and yang gossip was used as a national flag, and the Koreans now think that they invented it, and even sue Wudangshan for copying the national flag of South Korea and not allowing Wudang to hang the flag of Taiji gossip.
It is said that South Korea was originally a small country in history, poor and backward, and after using the Tai Chi Bagua flag, it suddenly achieved tremendous development in modern times and entered the ranks of developed countries. After all, Fuxi gossip and Taiji yin and yang fish are the roots of Chinese civilization, but they were used as the national flag by South Korea, fortunately, although China's luck was not high when it was developing in South Korea, and the country also fell into stagnation, but the five-star red flag finally rose up after decades of faith convergence, and suppressed the luck that was taken away.
Now in the death game, since we want to make a kung fu movie that includes various fighting genres around the world, as the protagonist, it is natural that Tai Chi and Baguazhang can hold down the field.
Can other schools of thought be played, do they have the philosophical ideas of Tai Chi and Bagua?
It is Xingyi Boxing, as one of the three major internal boxing, and the B level is not low, but it is just an imitation of animals.
There are a total of 60 martial artists, and when Yan Luo was casting, the requirement for director John was that his appearance and temperament must match his identity. For example, the guy who played in Japanese sumo wrestling is a real sumo wrestler, although he is not yet at the Yokozuna level, but his height of 1.8 meters and the tonnage that exceeds most sumo wrestlers, and his fat and huge size are like a mountain of meat, which makes people feel a sense of fear at a glance.
This sumo wrestling is similar to the Honda in the "Street Fighter" game.
It's important that the character fits the role.
Of course, it is not possible to use the Zulu stick method, but a black uncle, and as for the Soviet martial artist who uses the Russian Sambo, he is nearly 2 meters tall, with a lush beard, and the muscles on his body are explosive, even with a steel texture, comparable to Sangilf. The Mexicans, who represent the traditional Indian martial arts, have oil paint on their faces and wear clothes with bird feathers and grass skirts.
Every great movie will have its own unique style, and the tone set by Yanluo for the game of death, the first is that the colors and graphics should reach the top of this world, or even surpass this era! Many of these pictures can be used as CG wallpapers in the 21st century when dealing with high-definition remakes.
In addition, it has an exaggerated sense of anime and games.
Many of the martial artists here are dressed as King of Fighters, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Death or Alive, Iron Fist, ...... The feeling of a fighting game character.
The ultimate in color, the ultimate in kung fu, and the ultimate in character modeling!
The popular elements of this era are far from being compared with those of the 21st century, fashionable women in the United States are basically perming curly hair, men with status are also dressed in suits and ties, and those gangsters wearing a leather jacket already feel very fashionable. Yan Luo casually came up with some styling designs, which was enough to shock the United States in this era, and by the way, led a wave of fashion trends.
The 60 martial artists can be said to have different shapes, which not only match their respective identities, but also have a certain anime exaggeration.
When the audience saw the martial artists appearing on Paradise Island, many people couldn't help but exclaim.
That's so cool!
"Such a character ......"
Fat director Hitchcock took a deep breath to calm the shock in his heart, he is one of the greatest directors in the history of cinema, a master of suspense and thrillers, every frame of the shot can be used as a standard textbook of montage, and he is also very good at color and picture, the movies he shot in this era, actresses are often very beautiful, with exquisite makeup, well-fitting dress and elegant conversation, all like slender ladies.
But seeing the colors, lights, shadows and character shapes in the death game, even he felt ashamed.
This future director in the history of cinema secretly thought: "John has no such talent, this movie is said to be a lot of advice given by the main character, a man named Hierro, who is definitely a genius, a genius unlike anyone in this world." ”
Of course, Hitchcock himself is also a genius, and the thinking of geniuses is different from ordinary people, such as this fat man, who once said: "Blonde beauty is best suited for murder!" Imagine how beautiful it must be to see bright red blood running down her snow-white skin and shiny blonde hair! ”
Only a genius can make a great movie across the era.
The director developed a strong interest in Yanluo.
As for the other master: Kubrick, the man who will be called the "god" of cinema in the future, is still very young.
His eyes were glued to the screen, greedily watching every frame, he didn't just watch the movie like other audiences, reveling in the exquisite pictures and sensory shocks brought by this death game, nor was he immersed in the plot, but analyzed every shot of the movie in his mind, like a dry sponge absorbing and absorbing the nutrients contained in the movie.
"Wow!"
There was another round of cheers in the theater.
The biggest star of the film appeared.
Vivien Leigh!
One of the most well-known female movie stars of this era, once known as "the most beautiful woman in the world", Vivien Leigh is almost 40 years old, and has huge popularity both in the United States and Europe, not to mention that now, "A Streetcar Named Desire" is about to be released after filming is completed.
Vivien Leigh plays a heavyweight supporting role.
A movie, in addition to the big boss, of course, there must be a small boss and a medium boss, the "black widow" played by this woman is the boss in the middle of the movie, the appearance is based on the British ripper Jack, and the old Hong Kong movie Oriental Three Heroes, dressed in black clothes and black cloak, with a cold and murderous aura, this woman is set as a murderer in character.
Others fight on the island in order to survive, while Black Widow is all about enjoying the perverted pleasure of killing.
This is also a breakthrough for Vivien Leigh in the role, and it is not difficult for her to play this hysterical and crazy role with bipolar disorder.
Another female martial artist, Zhang Nicole, restored the dress of the little sister in the movie, and also made a hairstyle to kill Matt - it can be expected that killing Matt after this movie will definitely be popular among young people in the United States - the fighting style of the little sister is an ancient Chinese assassination technique, with a total of eighty-one darts hidden in her hair, and a dagger smeared with poison on her body, and the iron claws of the boss in "Enter the Dragon".
The woman attacks the protagonist in a battle for survival, and after being defeated, the protagonist does not kill her, so she joins the protagonist's team.
The big boss has appeared.
Lord Tang
Originally, Yanluo gave the funny mask to the doppelganger, but during the final shooting, Director John thought that this mask did not match the temperament of the boss, so he still took it off - however, the funny appearance on the "paradise island" full of death and indifference can undoubtedly adjust the dark depression of this part of the film, so the mask was not abandoned but was used as a symbol of the King of Fighters tournament and hung on the wall of the hall behind the boss, which is an easter egg.
bald head, Tang costume, ruby buttons, turquoise bracelet and a string of agarwood Buddha beads, such a shape + gangster-like aura, followed by Hepburn and Monroe, this boss undoubtedly surpasses all American audiences' imagination of bosses.
Even Fu Manchu, the strong sense of impact brought to them is not as good as now.
The movie has a soundtrack, and a good soundtrack can be the icing on the cake, just like the Ip Man movie in the future, if there is no Kenji Kawai, the master of the soundtrack, the movie may lose a lot of color.
What would happen if Huang Feihong lacked "men should be self-reliant"?
Yan Luo is not a musician, but he can roughly hum some classic songs from later movies, so he hired a musician to help score the music. At the beginning of the movie, when Lin appeared, a special BGM sounded, which was the song of Yuan Huage, the tide sea spirit, without singing but pure music. Now the moment Lord Tang walked out with two beauties, the BGM that sounded was Chow Yun-fat's appearance in the God of Gamblers!
Such a song, the temperament of ordinary people can't be controlled, and Tang Seng is different.
This is "Prince Charming".
Moreover, the appearance of this part is in slow motion, and the eyes and expressions of many fighters at this moment are specially filmed on the screen, highlighting the aura of the boss. The audience present is speechless one by one, it is not surprising that it is still 51 years, and most of the American audiences watch romance films, ordinary feature films, and there is no concept of villain boss at all.
Even if there is, such as the gloomy ** in military movies, or the old-fashioned and serious old nun in romance films.
The last movie Ip Man was very popular, in addition to Ip Man himself, the fat master Hong and his Hong family iron fist also attracted a lot of popularity, and in the eyes of American audiences, the boss with eight iron rings on his arm has been domineering and leaky, which makes people worship very much.
The current Lord Tang, with Buddha beads in Tang costume, bald tattoos, followed by Hepburn dressed as a female ninja and Monroe dressed as an investigator, as well as slow motion and magnificent music when he walked out, all kinds of martial artists who look like they are blowing up as a supporting role, the impact of this boss on the audience is like a bomb exploding in their ears.
That's cool!
Even the protagonist Hierro, the American boxing champion, Japan's sumo Yokozuna, kung fu masters all over the world, even Ip Man and Mantis Boxing in the last movie, and the final boss Master Hong, can only watch from the audience, like the stars holding the moon, such a boss is of course cool enough.
During the filming, John also excitedly said that after this movie, there will definitely be many young people in the United States who will shave their heads, and the styling of other supporting roles will definitely cause a whirlwind in the United States.
"This piece of music should win the Oscar for Best Music."
Some film company CEOs are talking about the fact that ordinary audiences are watching movies, and they notice more, and these people in the film industry are surprised to find that the game of death is extremely shocking from the actors to the set to the action, to the character modeling, and even the music in the film...... Will there be any other film that surpasses it in the future?
For most viewers, is "Master Tang" a kung fu master as the founder of this King of Fighters competition? How strong is it? Their hearts are filled with curiosity and anticipation.
The boss spoke: "Everyone, I am the organizer of this King of Fighters tournament, Tang from China, you can call me Tang-sama." ”
