Chapter 321: New Film Confirmed

The video of Wu Long drifting on a bamboo raft on the West Coast quickly spread around the world.

Someone knew about Duzhu Drifting and immediately brought over some domestic pictures and videos of Duzhu Drifting and documented it.

"This is called Duzhu Diao, and there are many people who know it."

So, the comments were shocked.

"Oh my god, does everyone in China know Kung Fu?"

“Are these people capable of Qinggong?”

"They don't need a boat to sail on the water?"

"Amazing!"

"terrible!"

Wu Long's bamboo-top performance attracted many people to watch because of the video of him floating alone on the sea.

He chose to perform during the day, and the way to get to the top of the bamboo was not to just step on the bamboo.

Still wearing the same ancient costume, facing the car that was accelerating, Wu Long saw the right moment and jumped up high. He flipped, landed on the roof of the car, and stood firm.

The car carrying Wu Long turned around and accelerated toward the bamboo.

When he rushed in front of the bamboo, the car braked suddenly. Wu Long used the inertia to jump up, stepped on the leaning bamboo, and then jumped using the force, standing on the top of the bamboo.

Wow!

The audience applauded!

"Very good!"

“Awesome!”

"Oumaika!"

"Oh my god, how did he do it!"

In the live broadcast room, netizens spoke one after another, saying they did not believe this was true. Many people thought that Wu Long was wired by a crane. But he had been shown the camera before, and there was no crane or wirea in the sky.

Swordsmen danced and jumped on the bamboo roof, and the audience screamed in surprise.



When the audience saw the scene in the movie of Li Mubai and Yu Jiaolong having a sword fight on a bamboo roof in the cinema, everyone believed it and thought it was true.

On the Internet, netizens who have watched the movie are all interested in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

"It's amazing. It's hard to believe that such a thrilling action can be captured without computer special effects or CG animation."

"The picture is beautiful. From the beginning to the end. Even when Yu Jiaolong jumps off the cliff, a place with beautiful scenery was chosen."

"The chase on the roof reminded me of parkour. However, even our most powerful parkour masters would not dare to run like this at night."

"That's not parkour, that's Chinese Qinggong! Some of the moves are different from parkour!"

"Did you see the scene where Li Mubai hangs upside down from a wall and scratches through bricks? Parkour can never do that."

"That's from Diao Wei Ya!"

"No, that's a long shot, Diao Wei Ya can't do it!"

"Isn't there anyone who praises Yu Jiaolong? She beat so many people in the restaurant, it's really great!"

"I think Yu Xiulian is more beautiful and stronger. She can use any weapon!"

"Yu Jiaolong couldn't defeat Yu Xiulian, but he took advantage of Yu Xiulian's unpreparedness to attack Yu Xiulian!"

"Why did Yujiaolong jump off the cliff?"

"Because Yu Jiaolong fell in love with Li Mubai, but it was a pity that Li Mubai died trying to save her. She jumped off a cliff and died in love. Oh my god, it's so romantic!"

"Yu Xiulian didn't love Li Mubai enough to die with Li Mubai!"

"Li Mubai is so great that he would rather die to save Yu Jiaolong!"

“Great romance movie!”

Scott felt very depressed after watching "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and could only drink to relieve his sorrow.

He originally thought that Wu Long's movie would be the same as the previous ones, with a simple plot and no deep meaning. However, the plot of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not simple, but also has a deep meaning!

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" talks about love, but it is not just about love, nor is it simply about love.

There are many things hidden in it. In terms of meaning and profoundness, it has many more profound things in humanities, society, ethics, morals, thoughts, etc. than his "Gladiator".

In terms of pictures, the color scheme of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" makes people feel relaxed and consistent with the ancient oriental cultural customs.

The scenery is beautiful, it can even be said to be a scenery film or a travel film.

In terms of shooting, lens use, camera position design, and lens language, they are all perfect.

Even the score of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that Scott is proud of is not inferior to him.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not an Oriental film at all, but a film wrapped in Oriental aesthetics and telling a Western story.

It is not as different from Western films as other foreign language films. Its aesthetics and narrative are very Western, and it seems to be a film made according to the requirements of the awards.

Wu Long and his "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are strong competitors to his "Gladiator"!

As for the action design, even with Wu Long as his martial arts consultant, guiding the movements of gladiator duels, compared to the movements of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Gladiator" is still much worse.

If you want to say that the movements in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are not realistic, you can't do it in reality. But Wu Long did a bamboo-top performance on the spot. No need to use wires, which proves that such movements can be done in reality.

Comparing the box office, except for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" which lost to "Gladiator" on the first day, the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was higher than that of "Gladiator" on other screening days.

It can be said that "Gladiator" is not as good as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" at the North American box office. Looking at the global box office, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is still higher than "Gladiator".

This is not only because of Wu Long’s single-bamboo dance and bamboo-top sword dance performances, but also because the audience has never seen such beautiful action fighting.

As far as the fighting scenes are concerned, the graphics in "Gladiator" are not as beautiful as in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and the fighting scenes are all in the arena, without much change.

The fighting scenes in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" include rooftop chases, night battles at city gates, multiple people fighting one person, one person fighting multiple people, indoor one-on-one chaotic battles, and sword fights on top of bamboos.

Different weapons, different fighting methods, coupled with the sense of substitution and long action shots with a strong sense of experience, it can be said that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is much higher than "Gladiator" in terms of action scenes.

"Wu Long, if it weren't for you and those long action shots, your box office would definitely not be as high as my "Gladiator"!"

In fact, Scott knew that even if "Gladiator" had a higher box office than "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," he would not be able to beat "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Because the production of "Gladiator" exceeded 100 million, while "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"

The production cost of "Dragon" was only 15 million.

Weiner Pictures, Wu Long and their senior executives drank champagne to celebrate.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has a domestic box office revenue of 172 million, and a global total of 520 million!

This is an astonishing number and an astonishing box office result.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a foreign language film. It was able to achieve such great results and such high box office, setting a box office record for foreign language films.

What's more important is the input-output ratio. Although the box office of those special effects films is high, the investment is also high. Computer special effects and CG animations greatly increase the cost.

In terms of profit, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" made more money than those high-grossing movies.

"Long, this is the script. Do you want to film it?"

After celebrating, Wu Long got a script.

"The Battle of Thermopylae" is a war-themed movie. It tells the story of the tragic battle between Persia and Greece in ancient times: the Battle of Thermopylae.

After Wu Long read the script, he felt it was very average. Weiner Pictures valued Wu Long's action design, and the script obviously absorbed some of the style of "Gladiator".

However, "Gladiator" is a duel in the arena, while "Blood Battle at Thermopylae" is a duel on the battlefield.

He returned the script.

"I can make a film of this type, still the Battle of Thermopylae, but I will write the script myself."

Weiner Pictures only needs Wu Long to make movies. They don't care how or what kind of movies they make. It is the best choice to give Wu Long the maximum power.

"In principle, it's possible, but we still need to evaluate the script."

A few days later, Wu Long gave Weiner Pictures a script.

"300 Spartans".

After Weiner Films received the script, they evaluated it and unanimously approved the filming of the film.
