1993 My China Entertainment Age

In 2004, Di Renjie, played by Liang Guanhua, was born. Four consecutive TV series were broadcast, which not only made Jiang Xiaofeng's Century Group a lot of money, but also made him and Yuan Fang the "Internet celebrity combination" at that time.

A large number of suspenseful crime-solving stories not only provided inspiration to Tsui Hark, but also brought them a lot of trouble.

The first thing to bear the brunt is Di Renjie's image problem.

The image of historical figures is mostly portrayed by screenwriters according to the needs of the script. For example, Zhang Fei may have been a handsome man with great wisdom and foolishness in history, but Zhang Fei in film and television dramas is a reckless man.

There is also He Shen, who was originally a handsome man in history, but because He Shen played by Wang Gang is so classic, everyone's impression of He Shen is that of Wang Gang.

Dee Renjie's image is not fixed at first, but the appearance of Liang Guanhua makes people feel that Dee Renjie is like this: a chubby old man, wise, but powerless.

But in Tsui Hark's heart, Detective Dee is a fashionable old-fashioned man: capable of flying and fighting, humorous and clever, and bohemian, but at the same time, he also has an innate sense of responsibility that puts the people first.

In order to allow the audience to quickly accept such a "007 + Li Bai" image of Di Renjie.

The movie "Detective Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire" mainly tells the story of 8 years after Dee Renjie was imprisoned for opposing Wu Zetian's power, a series of strange corpse-burning cases occurred in the court, and the court was helpless; at this time, Wu Zetian had to make an exception and hired someone who was still in prison. Di Renjie, authorized to solve the story.

The movie is set eight years after Di Renjie was imprisoned. At that time, Tang Gaozong was no longer around and Wu Zetian was about to proclaim himself emperor;

When the story begins, the 66-foot Tongtian Pagoda built by Wu Zetian with a lot of money in preparation for the enthronement ceremony is about to be completed; Wu Zetian proclaimed herself emperor in 690 AD, changed the Tang Dynasty to Zhou Dynasty, and made Luoyang the capital, known as the divine capital; Di Renjie was during the reign of Emperor Gaozong At that time, he was given the Dragon Mace, which was the only token of Wu Zetian's ability to control herself.

Originally, Di Renjie was imprisoned for opposing Wu Zetian's power after the death of Tang Gaozong, so the story takes place in the eighth year after Gaozong's death.

In "Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire", Jiang Xiaofeng plays Dee Renjie from this period; he is not only a detective who is good at reasoning and solving crimes, but also an important official in the imperial court who has won the trust of the late emperor. He is also a martial arts master who uses the powerful dragon mace. Use extraordinary skills.

As a weapon, the Dragon Mace is absolutely a peerless weapon. It can hear the flaws in the opponent's weapon, so it can easily interrupt the opponent's weapon by finding the weak point;

At the same time, it was given to Di Renjie by Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. It can control Wu Zetian and has the supreme sacred status, just like in the later Song Dynasty story "the golden whip given by the emperor to knock out the emperor and slander the ministers"; combining these two magical powers, the Dragon Mace itself may have More magical power.

Originally, Tsui Hark had planned to ask Andy Lau to star in the role of Dee Renjie before preparing the script for "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven". However, because Jiang Xiaofeng, the financial backer, volunteered himself, it was changed to Jiang Xiaofeng as Dee Renjie.

Unfortunately, Fat Di Lao left such a deep impression on people that after receiving the role, Jiang Xiaofeng immediately wanted to gain weight like Liang Guanhua.

Tsui Hark learned what Jiang Xiaofeng was thinking and hurried to stop him: "Director Jiang, don't do it. I just want a slimmer version of Di Renjie, and you have to continue to lose weight. You have a lot of fighting scenes, and you have to look like someone who can fight, fat No way."

After the filming of the movie started, the strong and heroic Jiang Xiaofeng could not hide his strong skills even if he put on a sloppy prison uniform.

Jiang Xiaofeng never expected that his body shape and fighting scenes were fine, but the scene of "taking off his pants" caused him to suffer a lot.

There is a scene in the film where Shangguan Jing'er, played by Fan Bingbing, is sent to "serve" Di Renjie, played by Jiang Xiaofeng, by Wu Zetian, starring Gong Li.

When Di Renjie refused, Jing'er exposed her beautiful back and began to press hard on him, even taking the initiative to take off his pants.

Unexpectedly, an assassin suddenly came from outside, disturbing their evening.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng and Fan Bingbing have collaborated three times, each time there were only emotional scenes, no "passionate scenes", and it was the first time for them to take off their pants.

However, in reality outside the play, Jiang Xiaofeng often took off Fan Bingbing's pants.

Because Jiang Xiaofeng and Fan Bingbing were already very familiar with each other in private, they had a tacit understanding when working together.

However, before the filming of the pants-removing scene started, Fan Bingbing got playful and deliberately asked Jiang Xiaofeng: "Brother Feng, when filming later, which position is more suitable for taking off the pants?" Jiang Xiaofeng didn't know either. What should I say? He took her hand and showed Fan Bingbing himself: "This way, you grab the waistband and pull it down hard."

What Jiang Xiaofeng didn't expect was that he pulled her 18 times, either too much or too little. Once, Jiang Xiaofeng almost took off his underwear.

Looking at Jiang Xiaofeng who looked embarrassed and embarrassed, Fan Bingbing said with a bad smile: "Brother Feng, I don't have enough experience in taking off men's pants."

Jiang Xiaofeng also saw Fan Bingbing's "thoughts", and said angrily and funny: "Bingbing, if you make trouble again, see how I deal with you when I go back at night!"

Fan Bingbing was not worried at all that Jiang Xiaofeng would deal with her. He even pretended to be scared and said provocatively: "No, brother, I'm so scared."

Seeing that Fan Bingbing was not afraid of him at all, Jiang Xiaofeng was naturally a little unhappy, and immediately secretly swore in his heart that he would look good to her that night.

Sure enough, after the show ended that night, Jiang Xiaofeng locked Fan Bingbing in the room and had physical education class all night.

Originally, Fan Bingbing was still on par with Jiang Xiaofeng at the beginning, but after a few rounds, Jiang Xiaofeng became more courageous as he fought, almost making Bingbing cry for his father and mother.

After seeing Jiang Xiaofeng's power, Fan Bingbing became more restrained and did not dare to challenge Jiang Xiaofeng for the time being.

However, as the only two important female characters in the film, Shangguan Jing'er played by Fan Bingbing is the "confidante" specially added by the screenwriter for Di Renjie. Fan Bingbing's acting skills and appearance are fully worthy of the role.

But in fact, the role she most wanted to play was not Shangguan Jing'er but Wu Zetian, and even Brigitte Lin was very fond of this role.

But both of them were rejected by Jiang Xiaofeng and Fan Bingbing on the grounds that they were "not domineering enough".

The Wu Zetian in Tsui Hark's heart is his good friend Carina Lau, while the Wu Zetian in Jiang Xiaofeng's heart is Gong Li, known as "Gong Huang".

Because Jiang Xiaofeng insisted on using Gong Li, Tsui Hark had no choice but to give up Brigitte Lin and Carina Lau and choose Gong Li, who was more suitable for Wu Zetian. Of course, Tsui Hark had to admit that Jiang Xiaofeng was absolutely discerning, and the Gong Li she chose was indeed the most suitable for Wu Zetian. candidate.

Tsui Hark apologized for Brigitte Lin's departure and asked Fan Bingbing to use the "Invincible Oriental" look in the film to play the role of a female official to pay homage to the two's former glory.

Gong Li, who had already entered Hollywood, was finally moved by Jiang Xiaofeng's sincerity and joined the movie "Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire" for a friendly price of 1500, starring as the heroine Wu Zetian.

And Tsui Hark, who has a huge investment, has no concept of "saving" at all, and only wants perfection.

The clothing alone cost several million.

Because the story takes place during the Tang Dynasty, the most fashionable period in China, there are more than 6000 actors in the crew and 5000 sets of original costumes.

In particular, the costumes of the protagonists must be full of texture and details, and must contain the unique characteristics and decorations of the Tang Dynasty. Gong Li, who represents the "supreme power", has as many as 4 layers of court clothes, each with 4 types. Materials, there are many treasures among these materials, each set costs tens of thousands of yuan.

In addition to being expensive, these costumes also take several months to make.

In addition, Tsui Hark also spent a huge sum of money and spent a full 10 months building the "Tongtian Pagoda" that symbolized Wu Zetian's power.

In order to give the mysterious "underground ghost market" a perfect real-life effect, Tsui Hark specifically asked the crew to find a cave and pour 2000 tons of water into it to meet his own standards.
