The filming lasted for almost three months, which can be considered a long time for Li Yi.
Fortunately, it was completed successfully.
After the closing banquet, Li Yi rested for two days and then started the post-editing work.
Other movies may sometimes require reshoots or even some shots need to be remade, but this is usually not the case in Li Yi's movies.
In less than a month, Li Yi completed all post-production.
Anyway, Li Yi's feeling about the finished film of "One Knife" should be much better than the original version.
The first is the picture quality of the movie. After all, times are different, so it is naturally better.
Secondly, Li Yi adjusted some shots according to his own ideas. Anyway, he thought they were more refined than the original ones.
All in all, as a director, Li Yi did what he could do, and left the rest to the market.
Of course, for martial arts movies, even Li Yi's movies, the previously announced annual box office data still makes many people not so confident.
Even if this person is Li Yi.
However, even so, it is just one more movie viewing party.
Li Yi believes that this movie should be able to conquer theaters and get them to give more support in scheduling films.
In fact, with his current influence, there is no need to worry about arranging films, but if he wants to get more support, he still needs to give theaters reassurance.
The promotion of a movie does not happen overnight.
In fact, although it is said that the film schedule of theaters will be adjusted according to the market performance of the movie, the adjustment will also be cyclical.
Another purpose of the screening is to discourage other films that are eager to try, because theaters will definitely support a film like Li Yi's, but only if there are no other rivals that they feel are more competitive.
Under normal circumstances, Li Yi's commercial films almost dominate the schedule most of the time.
This is actually an unspoken rule of domestic movies. This is a rule that The Devil sets out one movie after another.
In other movies, as long as they want to make a difference, most of them will actively choose to avoid it, or at least not get too close. Otherwise, the best outcome will be a lose-lose situation.
Most of the time, the iron head is broken.
Therefore, a film viewing party is still necessary.
The movie screening of "One Knife, Allure" was held at Oceanwide Studios. Of course, Li Yi's movies still have a good reputation. Even if it is a martial arts movie, the reputation is still bigger than many big-budget movies.
It can almost be said that all the relatively large theater chains in China have sent movie-watching representatives.
Although it is said that film representatives sometimes make mistakes, they have read countless films and can at least provide some reference.
Li Yi's movies actually have lower requirements for film-watching representatives, that is, as long as they are not bad, it is basically fine.
Domestic theater chains have always been very strong, but it is actually difficult for them to be strong when it comes to Li Yi, not to mention that Li Yi is one of them, not to mention that Li Yi's movies have always been synonymous with blockbusters.
Therefore, as long as the movie is not bad, they will definitely give more support in scheduling.
After all, they also want to make money!
At this movie screening, not only representatives from major theater chains came, but Zhao Guangming also came.
"Why did you think of making a martial arts movie?" Zhao Guangming was naturally received by Li Yi personally.
"Men, who hasn't dreamed of martial arts yet?" Li Yi said with a smile.
"You are dishonest! How about this? Are you confident that this movie will revive the popularity of martial arts films?" Zhao Guangming asked with some anticipation.
"I can only say that this movie is not bad. As for martial arts movies, I really can't say. It depends on the market response." Li Yi shook his head.
In fact, as long as "One Knife" can achieve good results, then martial arts movies will definitely become a hot genre in the short term, because if this movie becomes successful, then for other film companies and investors, it will also be regarded as establishing their
Faith also points the way.
After all, the decline of martial arts films is an indisputable fact.
However, even the most popular genres will decline, but even the most declining genres will one day rise again.
The only question is when this day will come.
Zhang Bin is the theater representative sent by Times Cinema, and his record can be said to be very good.
Although he has only been in the industry for a relatively short time, he has achieved outstanding results. It can be said that so far, his movie viewing reports have almost no problems, and he can accurately distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of a movie every time, as well as its market potential.
He has his own set of scoring standards.
But to be honest, Zhang Bin is a little less confident this time. Without him, first of all, this is Li Yi's movie. Who is Li Yi?
He is the number one person in Chinese-language films, and it can be said that he has never failed.
No matter what kind of movie, he seems to be able to turn decay into magic. Based on this, it seems that this time it should be just a formality, but this time it is a martial arts movie.
A martial arts movie! As Zhang Bin works in a theater company, he is very clear about movie box office data.
In fact, martial arts movies are really in decline.
He had gone to see several new martial arts movies before, but he passed them all, and none of those movies ended up in theaters.
Of course, this cannot be compared with Li Yi's movies, but one can also imagine how declining martial arts movies really are nowadays.
Zhang Bin was actually an out-and-out martial arts fan when he was a student. It can be said that he has read all the relatively well-known martial arts novels, films and television works.
But he has rarely watched them in the past few years, because even the martial arts movies that he thought were relatively good in the past seem to be just like that when viewed with a professional eye now.
This is also a drawback of this profession. After all, if you watch more movies, you will naturally have higher requirements for the quality of the movies.
Soon, everyone arrived and the movie viewing officially began.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the huge screening room, the lights dimmed, and the noisy screening room in the original version also became silent.
We are all professionals, and we still have these basic qualities.
The first scene that appeared on the big screen was the setting sun, which was like a fire and illuminated the entire sky golden.
Under the setting sun, a group of masculine men were naked from the waist down, sweating profusely and waving machetes.
This is Wang Wu’s sword team!
Under the sun, the light reflected by sweat makes this picture even more spectacular.
One hundred and one big men, under the sun, powerfully and uniformly waved the swords in their hands with murderous intent.
"The Black Flag Army is extremely powerful, kill foreign enemies and protect our country! Kill, kill, kill!"
Along with the roaring slogans, they also introduced their identities to the audience.
Black Flag Army!
Many people are actually familiar with Black Flag Army. The name Black Flag Army has appeared in many movies in the past.
"The tears of the hero that cannot be shed, the hatred of the family and the country that cannot be forgotten!
I can’t finish the cup of wine, and I can’t finish singing the farewell song.
If you can't let go of the sword in your hand, you can't kill all the enemies."
"If you go and never come back, you will never come back!"
Along with the swearing-in, the sword king Wu played by Wu Jun also made his official debut.
And Zhang Bin couldn't help but be a little surprised, because these lines made him feel very interesting.
In fact, not only Zhang Bin, but also many theater representatives noticed the lines!
Although it only lasted a few minutes, those few lines gave them a unique "martial arts flavor" that they had not seen for a long time!
However, they soon realized that this movie was different from many martial arts movies in the past.
The first scene of "One Sword Allures the City" is when Wang Wu takes the sword team under the Black Flag Army to assassinate the Japanese commander.
Why is it different?
Because the background is different, you can say this background is ancient, but it is also modern!
However, the initial clean killing of the peripheral personnel of the Japanese military station also made many people frown.
Why do you say that?
Because it gives them a very familiar feeling. What does it feel like?
The feeling of a war drama!
so easy!
Could it be that this is also a "divine drama" disguised as martial arts?
However, they soon gave up this idea, because before the assassination team was completely close to the camp, they encountered landmines, and a large number of them were destroyed in an instant, and they were also discovered by the opponent.
After that, although the warriors of the Broadsword Team were all powerful and superb in martial arts, it was a pity that when cold weapons faced firearms, the consequences could be imagined.
Wang Wu saw his brother's arm was blown off and wanted to go up to save him.
As a result, the brother gritted his teeth and said, "Don't come over. We are here to kill people, not to save them! Kill them quickly!"
Although they finally fought their way into the camp at a huge cost and did cause chaos to the other side at first, that was all.
The enemy is outnumbered, and the opponent holds a gun and chops a person with a knife, but the next moment, he is hit by a bullet.
Wang Wu could only watch helplessly as all his men died heroically. This turn of events can be said to have left many people a little confused.
This kind of plot is actually not pleasing to the eye, and even makes people feel frustrated, but this is reality.
Because if you fall behind, you will be beaten. This can be said to be vividly explained at this moment.
The opponent just stands there and pulls the trigger. No matter how good you are, you can only be killed by bullets one after another.
In the end, Wang Wu relied on his superb martial arts skills and a kick to kill the Japanese officer. However, when he came, there were one hundred and one people, but in the end only he escaped.
However, he was ashamed of his subordinates and shouted: "The motherland is not a country. There is a family but no family. The world is so big, where can I find a place for my king?"
In the end, he abandoned his knife and jumped off a cliff, but survived!
When the camera turned, it was a completely different scene.
Before anyone comes out, the sound comes first.
"Look, the gentle breeze, the lights of thousands of houses, the clatter of horse hooves, could this be another beautiful misunderstanding?" Tan Sitong, played by Zhao Qian, said as he rode on the horse with his maid.
"Master, Mr. Kang wrote to you personally, asking you to go to the capital to help him preside over the new policy. How could it be a misunderstanding?" said the maid Jiujin.
"That's how you behave. When you're obedient, you listen to half of what you're told, and when you speak, you talk about half of it!" Tan Sitong said angrily.
In fact, this conversation also explains the background. It was Kang Youwei who wrote to Tan Sitong, inviting him to come to the capital to help him preside over the New Deal. What New Deal?
Reform Movement of 1898!
A nine-pound girl disguises herself as a man and is just a chatterbox.
The two of them came to an inn to have dinner and stay overnight. During this period, the waiter accidentally tripped and the plate in his hand flew out. He jumped up and caught the plate, showing his extraordinary skill.
After sitting down, she said to Tan Sitong: "Master, when we arrive in the capital, I will go to Hukou Hutong to buy your favorite candied haws!"
"You want to eat it, right?" Tan Sitong said angrily.
"Whatever the young master likes, Jiujin likes it!"
As a result, they encountered Lan Dengzhao's people here who wanted to ambush Yuan Shikai.
A chaotic fight begins.
This can be said to be the first "big scene" of the movie, and the action design also made Yuan Baye and others rack their brains.
But the effect is obviously good.
"This fight is pretty good!"
"Yeah, I feel a little guilty!"
Many movie theater representatives couldn't help but have their eyes light up.
In fact, in martial arts films, in addition to plot, fighting and action design are also top priorities.
And this kind of group fight, group play, and melee scenes also test the director's skills. How to make the scene look chaotic, but actually prevent the audience from being confused, is very critical.
Because the victims of the disaster were also migrating at the same time, many people were killed in the chaos.
Finally, Tan Sitong couldn't stand it anymore, and he and his maid took action to rescue the victims.
Similarly, Da Dao Wang Wu, who survived jumping off a cliff and lived in seclusion here, also stepped forward to save a separated child.
Tan Sitong, Yuan Shikai, and Wang Wu, these three people with different backgrounds, experiences, and identities unexpectedly met under such circumstances.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! What’s interesting is that Yuan Shikai took the initiative to make friends with Tan Sitong because he heard his name, just because Tan Sitong was a student of Kang Youwei, who is highly valued nowadays, and Wang
It was because of the tattoo of the Black Flag Army emblem on his back that Wu caught Tan Sitong's attention and took the initiative to ask.
Tan Sitong looked at Wang Wu and said, "I want a knife!"
"What knife?" Wang Wu, who became a blacksmith, asked.
"A big knife weighs sixty-nine pounds, has a thick back and a thin blade, and a hard handle!" Tan Sitong said.
"You haven't asked for advice yet?" After hearing Tan Sitong's words, Wang Wu knew that the other party recognized him.
Because Tan Sitong's description is exactly the sword used by his broadsword Wang Wu!
"Tan Sitong!"
"Oh, are you Tan Sitong?"
"That's right!"
"Excuse me, what do you want the big knife for?"
"Yes, Master, I can't carry sixty-nine pounds!" At this time, Jiujin interrupted.
Tan Sitong said angrily: "You are the only one who talks too much!"
Then Jiujin stuck out his tongue and asked the child in the blacksmith shop to take him to visit the blacksmith shop.
As a result, the apprentice Zongsheng of the blacksmith shop also said seriously: "Okay, I will take you to visit the toilet first!"
"Is the toilet made of iron?"
“You’ll know after you’ve seen it, please!”
"Hahaha!"
There was a roar of laughter in the theater.
When visiting the toilets, no one dares to say anything and no one dares to respond. They are really like crouching dragons and phoenixes!
At this time, Yuan Shikai also walked in and introduced himself.
"The knife that Mr. Tan wants is actually you, brother, right?" Yuan Shikai obviously heard the conversation between the two of them.
Clicked it directly.
"Nowadays, the knives ordered at that time were knives for chopping melons and vegetables. What's the use of my big knife? General Liu Yongfu's sword weighs a thousand catties, and he will end up with hatred?" Wang Wu said sadly.
