A different director [entertainment circle]

Facts have proved that the world can continue to function without anyone.

In 2011, Qin Yan and Xie Bei Yang Zheng'er's Eight Classics disappeared from the audience's field of vision, and there was hardly any news about them. Until the Spring Festival of 2012, Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang were brought up again.

The reason is very simple. The movie "Hou Yi", which is nominally supervised by Qin Yan, will be officially released in theaters on the first day of the Chinese New Year in 2012.

"Hou Yi" was actually highly anticipated by Chinese audiences at the beginning of the project. After all, this is a real Chinese special effects film, much purer than "Earth Fortress".In particular, the film also chose "Houyi", which is obviously the name of the myth of Huaguo, which is exciting to think about.

Of course, there are also many people who think that "Houyi" is clearly a garbage movie. Every year Huaguo is named Journey to the West, White Snake, Three Kingdoms, and Chinese-related movies can be found everywhere. Facts have proved that nine or more of them are garbage.

The framework of the story has been determined, and the content is nothing new; the changes are far-fetched, the sexes of men and women are changed, and the pros and cons are alternated; Do not have any expectations.

Anyway, "Hou Yi" was born with a physique that attracted criticism, but because of Qin Yan's disappearance in the past two years, the expectation value of this movie has gradually returned to a normal level.

When people discuss "Hou Yi", they will no longer say that it is a film produced by Qin Yan, but will talk about its director, how much money was invested, and who are the actors...

The imprint of Qin Yan on "Hou Yi" was gradually obliterated.

The movie had already been filmed for half a year, plus more than half a year of post-production. Even though Hua Yan has always emphasized that there is no need to worry about capital turnover, considering that the special effects are changing every year, it is impossible to suppress "Hou Yi" from being released.

The most popular "Hou Yi" chose to land in the 2012 Spring Festival file, but this time the Spring Festival file "Hou Yi" has many competitors.

If this was two years ago, as long as "Hou Yi" was related to Qin Yan, I am afraid that most of the movies would choose to weigh their own weight first, or whether they should go head-to-head with Qin Yan.

But two years of low-key, many people have forgotten Qin Yan's terrifying box office dominance, and even when deciding on the schedule of many movies, they resolutely decided that they must be arranged during the Spring Festival.

Back then, their movies were severely suppressed by Qin Yan, and they never found a chance to get rich.This time, they are preparing to add new hatred to old hatred, absolutely not letting Qin Yan have any possibility of resurgence.

These film directors, producers, and distributors are very excited when they talk about these things, as if they have a chance to win.Of course, they also tried to inquire about the situation with "Hou Yi".

They all thought that Qin Yan did not appear in front of the public, but secretly polished "Hou Yi" behind his back, in order to make "Hou Yi" exciting enough.

They were a little worried at the beginning, and they have been sending people to keep a close eye on the filming and production of "Hou Yi".

But in the past year and a half, Qin Yan has been giving lectures at Pingcheng Film Academy basically every week, so he has no time to supervise work on the set.

This time, all the special effects of the filming of the film were completed in the mainland of Huaguo, that is, the special effects of the "fortress" were invested by Hua Yan.

The secrecy work of the fortress is very good, and everyone is refused to visit, as if it is really the same as the fortress, watertight.

They have no way to let their own people into the shooting scene, let alone inquire about post-production.They can only make a guess about the quality of "Hou Yi" based on experience.

There is only one company in charge of special effects, "Huaguo Fortress" - a company that has just been established. Two years ago, there was no team qualified to produce special effects for movies.

As for the actors, they were even less worried. Not only were there no Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian in the makeup photos this time, they didn't even have first-line actors. The big deal was the old guys signed by Huayan Company, whose box office appeal was too weak.

How high can the quality of "Hou Yi" be, and how high can the box office be?

This time domestic film and television companies are all waiting to see Qin Yan's jokes. Recently, they have choked and stepped on the media frantically. They thought that Qin Yan, who could not tolerate a little sand in his eyes, would stand up and say a few words, but Qin Yan still didn't Appear.

In the midst of singing and dancing, some people felt an inexplicable tension in their hearts. Could it be that Qin Yan could do something wrong this time?

On the first day of the new year, enjoying the indulgent New Year's Eve, many young people were still lying in bed to recover their spirits, but Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang drove to the cinema from Xie Beiyang's home early in the morning.

For the past two years, Qin Yan spent the New Year at Xie Beiyang's family. After all, all the old people in Xie Beiyang's family were there, and they had a reunion every year.And every time Qin Yan came to the door, Xie Nan would jokingly call him "a married woman who follows her husband", while Qin Yan claimed to be a "son-in-law who came to the door", and there was another burst of invisible bullets.

This time "Hou Yi" was released, Qin Yan and Qin Yan didn't even attend the movie's premiere ceremony, as if the whole movie had nothing to do with Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang.

The two even ordered movie tickets online in advance, just like ordinary moviegoers, waiting for the movie theater to open on the morning of the first day of the new year.

Qin Yan also invited Xie Changyue and Pan Meixiu's family to watch a movie together. After all, this movie has been in preparation for so long, and Tenghui Pictures has been somewhat affected.

Not to mention Xie Changyue and his wife, even Xie Beiyang's grandfather had heard about it.Even Xie Nan suggested many times to book a screening room and go to the cinema with the family.

On the surface it was family fun, but in essence it was Xie Nan trying to interrupt their date.

But Xie Nan's plan was stopped by his parents.The husband and wife put it on the surface that they still have something to do today, but in fact they just wanted Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang to stay longer.

There's no way, even though Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang have been together for so many years, there is still a sour smell around the two of them when they were just in love, which made it difficult for Xie Changyue and Pan Meixiu to bear it.

Qin Yan came to the movie theater under the name of Tenghui Group early in the morning. The two of them did not book the theater, nor did they use any special relationship. Qin Yan bought movie tickets with the Weiweidou APP seven days ago.

Although the two have not been involved in film shooting and production in the past two years, the related industrial chain is still under their control and constantly upgrading and developing.

As far as Weiweidou is concerned, it has expanded its online ticket sales business, found its own profit channels, and earned commissions from sales while ensuring objective and fair ratings.

There was a rather bloody capital war in the middle, and it was the Xie family brothers who personally put on armor and went to battle to kill the enemy.

Don't look at Xie Nan who is usually a little out of tune, but as the next head of Tenghui Group, Xie Nan's ability is beyond doubt.After a lot of capital fighting, Weiweidou has become the largest movie ticket sales platform in China.

Weiweidou is very competitive. As long as it is a movie ticket purchased through Weiweidou, it can be directly included in the scoring system without any certification.

Moreover, Weiweidou does indeed give its users more objective evaluations and recommendations; movie tickets purchased through the Weiweidou website can ensure movie profit sharing; there will not be various disgusting incidents such as stealing box office and stealing accounts ...

Even though he is the investor and producer of the film, and also the boss behind the ticketing platform, Qin Yan still has to rely on himself to grab tickets online. I am afraid no one will believe this matter if he tells it.

Qin Yan snatched tickets smoothly, but it wasn't that Qin Yan was omnipotent, but Xie Beiyang took the initiative to choose the most inconspicuous corner, so that they would not be easy to be found.

A sneaky date gets more and more exciting.

At 8 o'clock in the morning on the first day of the new year, it is not the most anticipated movies this year. From the beginning, the goal is to lock the corner seats. If Qin Yan still can't get a movie ticket, he will probably find a piece of tofu and pretend to be dead.

"Hou Yi" has been screened on a small scale a few days ago, and the word-of-mouth of the film has already been initially fermented.

At least when Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang finally arrived at the cinema, the attendance rate clearly exceeded 50%, which is already a quite satisfactory figure for a movie at 8:00 in the morning on the first day of the new year.

The seats for the two of them were really remote, and the surrounding area was empty. In addition, the projection hall was relatively dark, so no one noticed the existence of the two of them.The two enjoyed this moment of silence with peace of mind. After they were seated, their hands were tightly held together, and they never let go.

"Hou Yi" is a movie with special effects, but it is not a 3D movie with the pinnacle of technology nowadays.After all, the development of special effects in China is sluggish. If we force 3D special effects, we will only draw tigers instead of anti-dogs in the end.

Qin Yan also didn't want to make "Hou Yi" a big fat man in one go. Instead of spending so much effort to pursue 3D, it is better to spend money on relatively mature and important technologies.

Just because there is no blind pursuit of 3D production, the first few shots of "Hou Yi" are refreshing enough.

At the beginning of the plot, the voice-over is explaining the story of Hou Yi shooting the sun, and even the lines are very simple——

"After the division of Hongmeng, it has experienced the catastrophe of wizards and the chaos of dragon and phoenix. Now it is the demon clan that is flourishing and ruling the vast land."

"Human beings who are born without any supernatural powers have been living in the shadow of the monster race. The sudden rise of the big monster is enough to cause disaster for the human race!"

"One day, the son of the demon emperor Jun suddenly soared into the sky and turned into..."

This plot is really vulgar, but audiences who know something about Huaguo mythology can make up the rest of the story from the first sentence, making people drowsy.

However, who made the screen expression ability of "Hou Yi" really shocking!

From the beginning to the end of the screen, Hou Yi does not appear. The handsome and powerful Hou Yi in everyone's imagination does not even have a line.

Not to mention the legendary divine bow that could shatter heaven and earth, only eight bows and arrows shot up into the sky as fast as meteors, directly hitting the golden crows who were playing in the sky.

The golden crow covers the sky and blocks out the sun, its wings are like raging fire, and its voice is like the cry of an abandoned baby!

After a scream, the majestic and huge Golden Crow exploded in the sky like fireworks, scattered flames, and fell from the sky!

This picture alone is enough to see how much the special effects of the whole movie of "Hou Yi" cost. The models of the Golden Crow are lifelike. When they flap their wings, you can see the golden flame-colored feathers on their bodies, like sea waves. Repeatedly!

And the bow and arrow shooting at Jinwu was also given a close-up shot.The body of the arrow is covered with dense inscriptions. These inscriptions are intricate and finely cut. They represent that the special effects level of the entire movie has reached a rather exaggerated precision.

More importantly, in addition to precision and details, all modeling has been reviewed by the art director, full of the unique beauty of Chinese culture.

One of the two directors of this film is Du Peng, who is best at Huaguo-style aesthetics.

In just this moment, the Chinese culture is perfectly integrated into the picture!Qin Yan has seen the semi-finished product of "Hou Yi", and still can't help but applaud the entire film production team.

When the sun really fell from the sky, there was a burst of cheers from the entire projection hall, which is enough to prove whether the audience is satisfied with the special effects of "Hou Yi".

And this is just the beginning, the plot of the movie gradually unfolded, and everyone discovered that "Hou Yi" is definitely a work that everyone did not expect.

Although the movie is titled "Hou Yi", the plot is completely different from the myths and legends familiar to Huaguo audiences. It actually happened after Hou Yi shot the sun.

The so-called "Sunset Bow" is not a specific weapon, but the actual map and manipulation method of a super-powerful magic weapon that can be controlled and manipulated by humans inherited from the Houyi family. Its power is enough to destroy the most powerful Monsters, even dragons and phoenixes!

The descendants of Hou Yi in the movie are constantly hunted down by the demon clan.After all, Jinwu is the son of Emperor Jun, the leader of the Yaozu, and the Yaozu hated the Houyi clan to the bone.

Of course, the most important reason is that the Yaozu does not allow humans to master weapons that can threaten them, and does not allow humans to overthrow their rule.

This part of the plot is easy to understand, but among the people who hunted down Wen Ji, there were actually many monks of the human race!

Many human monks tried their best to help Hou Yi's clan, and many human monks tried to kill them. For a while, the audience couldn't tell who was the enemy.

It turns out that the Yaozu has announced to the world that the Houyi family is the enemy of the Yaozu for thousands of years, and they will not rest until death.However, the Yaozu are not cruel by nature. The Yaozu are willing to live on the earth with humans, as long as they hand over Houyi's clan and Houwenji.

Later Wenji, who is currently the young patriarch of the Houyi clan, is keeping the inheritance of the "Sunset Bow".

But if they don't make friends for a day, the Yaozu will think that other humans are covering up their successors, and the battle will become more intense.

Many human beings have forgotten that the scorching heat and the thousands of miles of red land on the same day in Jiuyang, they only think that all these disasters were brought about by Houyi, and should be borne by the Houyi family, and any news about Houwenji will be sold to the Yaozu .

Later, Wen Ji finally found a tribe to supplement food, and was attacked by humans and monsters together that night.

In addition to these stupid and numb human beings, there are also some human beings who are particularly "smart". They have seen through the strategy of the Yaozu.

Of course they won't let the Yaozu's plan succeed, but they all think that it's really inappropriate for young people like Wen Ji to keep the sunset bow.

This kind of weapon of killing and the handle of kingship should be in their hands!This is why many human monks who claim to be righteous also want to kill Wen Ji.

The audience watching this scene was quite angry. Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang obviously heard that some audience members had begun to curse these human scum angrily.

All of a sudden, the survivors of Hou Yi's clan became the enemies of the common people.There was nowhere to go.

This seems to be a calculation against the human race from beginning to end. If human beings really kill the descendants who have contributed to human beings, how will other tribes be willing to work hard for the human race in the future.

No one wanted to die, so the choice of the Houyi clan was to flee.

Later, Wen Ji is naturally the male number one in the movie. He has been hiding his name. He is not stupid and sweet, and he does not make the protagonist make mistakes like many commercial films, so as to promote the development of the plot.

Wen Ji has been on the run for several years, so he is quite seasoned. "Hou Yi" did not create a useless protagonist who made ordinary audiences feel like a substitute. From the very beginning, Wen Ji was strong, smart, and wise.

This shooting angle was actually determined by Qin Yan. "Hou Yi" is not a civilian script, but a heroic script!

The audience was angry and sympathetic to Wen Ji's encounter, but they were also excited about Wen Ji's strength and intelligence!

Watching Wen Ji and a group of protagonists continue to kill the monsters and find out the traitors of the human race in the team, it is really cool!

How can there be such a perfect and handsome male number one!Not annoying at all.

The next step is to reflect the level of "Hou Yi". Qin Yan's pursuit of commercial films must make the audience unable to guess the plot, and must be exciting enough.

Many people think that the script of "Hou Yi" ends here.But in the movie, the villain of Yaozu started to ask a question——

Why did the entire Yaozu mobilize so many elite troops to try to kill Hou Wenji, but failed repeatedly? Is it just because of the luck and strength of Hou Wenji and his friends?

The answer is absolutely not.The Yaozu who planned all this couldn't figure out where there was a flaw in their plan.

When all the Yaozu's schemes failed in the end and Wen Ji led the human allied forces to counterattack, the Yaozu still did not solve this problem.

The last battle was really exciting!

The monster army, which is as numerous as a cow's hair, originally wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in the human race to march and attack. As long as it can separate the mutual alliance forces between the human race, then the monster clan that is good at individual strength can win the final victory in the war.

This battle is very fierce, although the war between the two races is not just or not, it is just a pure race war.

But after all, the audience has always had a natural affection for the human race with the same appearance. When watching the humans see through the monster race's plan time and time again, and push the monster race's coalition forces back steadily, everyone present felt excited.

So far, the narrative process of the entire movie has been basically perfected, which already possesses the factors that a commercial movie should have.In addition to the bones of the script, Hou Yi's flesh and blood are also very good, mainly reflected in the actors' acting skills and special effects on the screen.

It can only be said that the directors of Huayan Company seem to be influenced by Qin Yan, and they tend to use actors with high cost performance in the use of leading actors. Of course, the most important thing is to pass the acting skills.

You must know that this is a movie with a big protagonist. I want the audience to bring emotions into the protagonist, and the protagonist's every move, anger and smile must be able to properly reflect the character's emotions. Obviously, the leading role of "Hou Yi" done.

Then in the movie, everyone also saw a lot of very familiar characters. These actors are naturally the "babies" in the hands of Huayan Company.

So many old drama bones, not babies, what are they?

The existence of these old drama bones has added a lot of color to the movie. After all, many far-sighted, treacherous and cunning supporting roles in the movie are not performed by ordinary actors.If the acting skills are slightly lacking, it will make the plot of the whole movie look very abrupt.

Of course, the most important thing is the special effects of "Hou Yi", although the effect is not as good as that of several major foreign special effects companies.

But these years, Qin Yan spent a lot of money on the special effects of the "Fortress", and then Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang went to San Francisco. In addition to revisiting the old place of Tonks Cinema, Qin Yan also went to Guangxi The magic special effects company and the cinema are in contact with each other.

Qin Yan hasn't made a movie for more than a year, and the danger has plummeted. On the other hand, these companies have also begun to miss Qin Yan's ability to attract money.

Qin Yan visited this time, his goal was not to let Guangmo Company help produce the special effects of "Hou Yi", but to license part of the technology to "Fortress" Company, although it took a lot of effort and money, now It's all worth it from the results.

When Qin Yan was watching the movie, he actually took a peek at the audience's reaction. As expected, everyone was impressed by the special effects of "Hou Yi".

Facing the magical weapon "Sunset Bow", the leader of the Yaozu coalition knew his doomed end. Before he died, he begged Wenji to tell him the reason for the Yaozu's failure.

Later, Wen Ji did something that the protagonist of a commercial film should not do, and did not give the villain a chance at all.

Wen Ji did not report the reason to the leader of the Yaozu alliance at all, but turned the other party's three souls and six souls into green smoke with one arrow. He was not sure if the other party had any special means to pass the message back. Of course he was Careful and careful.

Of course, if we only stop here, "Houyi" can only be said to be a commercial special effects film with a score of about 7, which is far from its World War I Conferred God, and it does not meet Qin Yan's expectations and requirements for movies. And after the war, came a period of literary drama that no one thought of.

And it has been several years since the war ended, the monster race and the human race have entered the truce period because the casualties in the last war were too noticeable.

The Houyi clan has already handed over the inheritance of the "Sunset Bow" to the most powerful monk of the human race, which can be regarded as an end to the fate of fleeing from the end of the world, and found a quiet place to cultivate in the mountains.

Now Wen Ji is also planning to pass on the responsibility of the patriarch to the next generation. He brought the next family to the clan ancestral hall, first to sue the ancestors.

After burning incense, Wen Ji took the new team leader through the tunnel and entered a secret room, where a large number of memorial tablets for the dead were also enshrined on the long table.

The new patriarch looked at these names and didn't know why, so he asked Wen Ji: "Patriarch, who are these people?"

Wen Ji let out a long sigh:

"They are the enemies who chased and killed us, and they are also human spies hidden in the monster clan."
