Huayu special effects started in 97

Because of her guest appearance in "The Great Wall", the first film that Zhang Ruolan met the audience was not "The Three-Body Problem 2" shot by Jiang Heng, but "The Great Wall" directed by Zhang Yimou.

With this calculation, Zhang Ruolan has three films released during this super period at the beginning of the Lunar New Year, two of which are special effects blockbusters, and her popularity can be said to be the highest of the year!
But because she only made a cameo appearance in "The Great Wall", many people still didn't know her and were just curious about this girl who played a couple with Jiang Heng in the film.

Who is this person?
Someone who knows said, "Her name is Zhang something, she's the heroine of the Spring Festival movie "The Three-Body Problem 2", the one who plays Zhuang Yan!"

"Oh, it really looks a bit like, that, that feeling of first love!"

"You're still young!"

"It's not just about her age, it's also because of her face. I remember Director Jiang picked Zhuang Yan from an open audition!"

"Director Jiang Hai selected several candidates, and every one of them became a hit!"

"Of course it is. With Director Jiang's ability, whoever he supports will become a star!"

On the big screen, Fusu and Meng Tian personally went to the battlefield and finally killed the Beast King. The remaining monsters fled in three directions: east, north and west.

Fusu dragged his seriously injured body to the corpse of the Qin princess played by Zhang Ruolan, and said in grief: "Sister, come on, I will take you home!"

After saying that, he bent over to pick her up, but he couldn't lift her up at all.

Fusu knelt down and cried, in great grief.

That night, Fusu and Meng Tian were both seriously injured and beyond treatment, and there was no way they could be saved.

Meng Tian asked Fusu if he regretted it. If he had abandoned the Great Wall defense line and returned to Xianyang City, he would have been the second emperor of the Qin Empire.

Judging from the performance of the monster army in this battle, if they dared to come to the city of Xianyang, they would surely be destroyed.

Fusu said in a weak voice: "We, the Ying clan, are descendants of Emperor Zhuanxu. We were given the mandate by heaven to unify the country. How can we abandon our territory to beasts and let the people become their food? Although I am dead now, my name can be recorded in history, so I have no regrets!"

After Fusu finished speaking, he died.

Seeing this scene, all the audience had tears in their eyes. The character of Fusu in front of them was really well portrayed.

When thinking about the fate of the Qin Dynasty, the audience couldn't help but feel sad.

At the end of the film, a few minutes of fast-cut shots are used to tell the story of Hu Hai's misdeeds and the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

Liu Bang was the first to enter Guanzhong, and the Qin Dynasty was destroyed. The film ends here.

When the lights in the venue came on, warm applause broke out instantly.

To be honest, everyone looks at Zhang Yimou differently.

Because this movie doesn't have the twisted feeling of Director Zhang's previous films, but is a commercial blockbuster with shocking visual effects and smooth plot.

It's slightly inferior to Jiang Heng's, but definitely not inferior to those Hollywood special effects blockbusters.

In addition, the success of this film proves Zhang Yimou's ability in this type of film. There will definitely be similar films in the future!
After Feng Xiaogang failed in filming "Night Banquet" that year, he never dared to try a similar film again.

"Congratulations, Director Zhang!"

"Congratulations!"

"Director Zhang, it's really great!"

There weren't many guests at the event, but Zhang Yimou still felt the hands everywhere and shook hands for a long time.

He immediately went on stage to give a speech, "I really want to thank Director Jiang for making this movie, and thank him for his great support and help!
In fact, the idea of ​​making a monster movie of our own was born several years ago. I read a lot of information and drew many concept drawings of monsters, and finally it became what you see...!"

Zhang Yimou was very excited and spoke for more than ten minutes before he realized he had said too much. He ended his speech with a smile.

The premiere ceremony of "The Great Wall" has come to an end.

The company held a reception dinner as usual, but since not many guests and creators came, there were only two tables in the large banquet hall.

After Jiang Heng finished his meal, he left by car.

In the next few days, Yang Mi started traveling around the country to promote The Great Wall. Zhang Ruolan was busy with her final exams and had little time to spend with him.

Jing Tian, ​​who had just returned from abroad, rushed directly to Jiang Heng's office, peeled an orange and ate it while asking, "How was Director Zhang's The Great Wall? Is it good?"

"Well, not bad!"

Jing Tian was stunned, "Is there something on my face?"

"without!"

"Then why are you laughing so weirdly!" Jing Tian rolled his eyes at Jiang Heng.

"Nothing, I just think that if you were to play the heroine in this movie, it would be good!"

"Didn't Director Zhang pick Yang Mi? How can I snatch her away? Besides, I'm too lazy to shoot any film other than the one directed by you!"

Jiang Heng said, "Let me tell you, even though you are having a blast filming variety shows now, this is very detrimental to your acting skills. If you continue to film for another year or two, you won't be able to act in movies!"

Jing Tian's beautiful big eyes widened, "Do I really have such poor acting skills?"

Seeing Jiang Heng speechless after being asked the question, Da Tiantian laughed so hard that she fell backwards.

"Haha, you look so funny!"

"I'm just thinking about it for you!"

Da Tiantian said with a nonchalant expression: "Oh, it doesn't matter. For women, the golden period of their career is only a few years. Whether they can seize it or not, it will pass sooner or later.

In the final analysis, it’s all about making more money while times are good!

But I have enough money now, of course, I can't compare with you. But compared with other female stars, I am much better.

Now, by filming variety shows, you can easily make more money and be happy. How great is that!
If I do nothing and stay by your side all day, you will probably get annoyed again!"

When Jing Tian finished speaking, his tone became a little sad.

Jiang Heng looked embarrassed when he heard this. He of course knew what Da Tiantian meant.

He walked over and pulled her sweet little hand, "You are always so nice!"

"You are so bad!"

Jiang Heng smiled, "Women don't love bad men, so do you love him?"

"What did you say?"

……

In the blink of an eye, a week later, it was time for "The Great Wall" to hit theaters.

That day, Da Tiantian drove Jiang Heng to the China Film Red Cinema Wukesong branch to watch "The Great Wall".

In her words, she always felt that this movie was somehow related to her, so she had to go to the cinema to see it.

Jiang Heng was speechless about this, because this meant it was his second time watching the movie. He hoped that no one would ask him to watch it with them!
There were so many people in the theater that tickets were hard to come by.

Because the subject matter is very special, Jiang Heng has been shooting special effects blockbusters for so many years, but there is only one pure special effects blockbuster, which is "100 Million Years BC" shot many years ago.

Although there are monsters in both "Pacific Rim" movies, it is the mechas that attract more audience attention.

Therefore, "The Great Wall" can be regarded as a rare work among Chinese-language special effects blockbusters.

After all, even foreign dinosaur movies haven't hit the big screen for many years.

Suddenly, a domestic monster movie was released, directed by Zhang Yimou, with Jiang Heng as a guest star. So many people came to watch it that it sold out instantly! (End of this chapter)
