Huayu special effects started in 97

In 14, Yang Haoyu was already well-known to many audiences for his role as Uncle Gong in "Dragon Inn", and his image was also quite funny.

But in this version of "The Great Wall", he seems a little slick at first glance, but he is able to intervene in times of crisis and allow the court to obtain the monster's corpse for the first time, which subverts the audience's impression.

In the guest seats, Yang Haoyu, dressed in a suit, raised his head slightly, sat upright, with an expression of extraordinary surprise on his face.

During the filming, he felt that his part was outstanding, but he didn't expect it to be so good.

On the big screen, the scene where Lao Huang jumped into the monster's mouth with a sword in hand was so handsome that even he felt extremely excited!

“Very handsome!”

Yang Haoyu couldn't help but mutter something, while the audience in the venue burst into praise.

I never thought that Zhang Yimou, a director who is more artistic and has always been twisted in his narrative, could shoot such an exciting scene. It doesn't look like the style of Director Zhang at all, but more like the style of Xu Ke!
The film continued on the big screen, first with an overhead shot of Xianyang City, followed by an enormous carriage pulled by five horses. The carriage was loaded with the corpse of a monster and was being pulled towards the palace.

Inside the hall, the First Emperor, played by Zang Jinsheng, had a dignified expression. He rejected the persuasion of his courtiers and insisted on seeing the so-called monster with his own eyes. He then led his courtiers to the square inside the palace.

When he saw the monster's corpse that looked like a mountain of flesh, his expression was one of surprise and joy.

"I never thought there would be such a monster in the world. It's really amazing!"

After saying that, he was about to step forward, but the eldest son Fusu, played by Huang Xuan, hurriedly persuaded him, thinking that the monster's corpse might be poisonous, so it would be better to stay a little further away.

The First Emperor did not think so. Since the soldiers had been escorting him for such a long time and nothing happened, it would be fine for him to go and see.

But he still didn't dare to get too close, as he felt that the monster was slumped on the car and he couldn't see its full appearance.

At this time, Zhao Gao, played by Zhang Shi, suddenly offered a suggestion. They could build a huge wooden frame on the open space outside the Apang Palace and hang the monster's body with ropes, so that they could know what it looked like when it was standing in life.

The First Emperor was very happy to hear this, and ordered Zhao Gao to do this matter. Both the Qin soldiers who died in the battle and Old Huang who made contributions were rewarded.

Afterwards, the court meeting began.

Prime Minister Li Si ordered people to compile the "escape" cases reported by the northern border military in the past six months, and the total number of people added up to more than 10,000.

The results of the investigations into these escape cases surprisingly showed that most of the soldiers were eaten by wild beasts.

Now it seems that it was not tigers or wolves that did it, but a strange-looking, huge monster!
Some ministers expressed fear, believing it to be a warning from God.

The eldest prince Fusu said that the monster was just bigger and more powerful.

It is rumored that there are bigger fish in the sea and bigger birds in the sky, but in the final analysis, they are all mortal beings.

However, in just half a year, it caused tens of thousands of casualties among the Qin army. This monster was already very powerful, and there were quite a few of them.

After some discussion, General Wang Jian's grandson Wang Li volunteered to lead an army of 100,000 north to wipe out the monsters completely.

Then, the first big scene of the film appears.

The 100,000-strong army led by Wang Li was ambushed by a group of monsters on their way north. They suffered a crushing defeat. Excluding those who ran away or were eaten, only a thousand people of the 100,000-strong army managed to return to Xianyang City.

The whole country was shocked!

Even the First Emperor was shocked. He had been defeated so badly before when he defeated the six kingdoms!
To make matters worse, more and more monsters appeared in the northern border, capturing civilians for food, and the news had already reached Xianyang.

The First Emperor was greatly shocked and furious, and ordered General Meng Tian to lead an army of 400,000 men northward and conscript millions of civilians to transport supplies. Even if all his men were killed, these monsters had to be eliminated.

For a time, the whole country was in mourning, and the atmosphere was heavy yet excited.

At the venue, some audience members reviewed the scene where the monster army ambushed Wang Li's army.

I wondered, "How can these monsters know military tactics?" "It's not military tactics, they are just like wolves, they are good at hunting. At the beginning of the film, we showed how cunning these things are!"

"Well, we clearly have the power to force it, but we still have to wait until people completely let down their guard!"

"The Great Wall" is a purely commercial blockbuster that relies on visual effects as its selling point. In addition, Zhang Yimou is not very good at telling stories, and there is nothing particularly outstanding about the plot. It can only be said to be mediocre.

But the visual effects are really good, especially the colors and composition, there are so many things that shock the audience.

Especially the scene where Meng Tian’s army fights a bloody battle with the army of monsters. The visual scene is not inferior to "The Hobbit" and many viewers were excited after watching it.

In the film, the Qin Dynasty naturally won the battle, but it was a tragic victory with heavy casualties.

Fusu went north and saw all kinds of tragic conditions. After returning, he urged Qin Shihuang to repair the Great Wall that was originally built by Yan, Zhao and other countries to defend against the Huns, and to build a Great Wall on the top of the mountains.

At that time, the Qin army will be able to rely on the city walls to hold their ground and resist the army of monsters.

Otherwise, if two more wars like this are fought, all the veteran soldiers of the Qin Dynasty will be wiped out.

The First Emperor also thought this was true, so he ordered Fusu to go north to take charge of everything and give him full responsibility for the construction of the Great Wall.

For a time, the empire's machine was running fast, all kinds of materials, and countless laborers went north to build the Great Wall.

After the Great Wall was repaired, it was able to stop large groups of monsters.

The remaining few monsters that crossed the Great Wall could be easily hunted and killed, and the northern border of the empire was finally stabilized.

Then, something happened in the court.

Some alchemists urged the First Emperor to travel on the pretext of searching for the elixir of life.

The latter also felt that there were monsters more than two meters tall on land, fish bigger than ships in the sea, and that there should be such a thing as an elixir of immortality in the world.

So he traveled around the world and eventually died on the way.

Then Zhao Gao and Li Si forged an imperial edict and sent it to Fusu.

The envoy who delivered the imperial edict was played by Jiang Heng.

The Princess of Daqin, played by Zhang Ruolan, also secretly hid in the envoy team and arrived in the northern border together.

Fusu could naturally tell that the edict was fake, and the princess played by Zhang Ruolan came out to inform on him.

Just at this moment, the army of monsters attacked again, and their number was far greater than before.

If Fusu abandoned the Great Wall defense line, the millions of people living in the northern border would probably become food for monsters.

Even his large army might be pursued and wiped out.

After a painful decision, Fusu finally chose to stay and fight a desperate battle with the army of monsters.

The princess played by Zhang Ruolan and the court envoy played by Jiang Heng also joined the battle and both died.

The audience felt quite sad when they saw the messenger played by Jiang Heng die.

Someone said: "Director Jiang's appearance was too brief, please act a little longer!"

"Guest appearance!"

"Who plays that princess? She looks pretty!" (End of this chapter)
