Before it was released, it was complained that it was a "bad film", and Ren Xianqi packed tickets for the promotion of the movie, saying: If you think it is a bad film, you will swallow the microphone directly. In 2010, before the start of the broadcast, "Dragon and Phoenix Shop" was questioned because of the title of "Queen of Bad Movies" by the heroine Xu Xiyuan (Big S). After it was broadcast, it was dubbed "rotten and vulgar", but now it looks like it has a taste. Such a controversial "movie", its behind-the-scenes story is the essence.
"Dragon Phoenix Shop" is adapted from the traditional drama "Dragon Play Phoenix", before which there were many remakes, and the director made a lot of pranks on the characters in order to distinguish it from the traditional plot. Although the beginning is somewhat nonsensical, it also abandons a lot of previous techniques, focusing on highlighting the character image. In the shooting, it also echoes "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang 2", and at the end of "Tang Bohu 2", it undertakes the scene of "Dragon And Phoenix Shop", Xu Xiyuan standing at the door to welcome guests. Speaking of which, this all originates from the "5510" plan, which was initiated by The legend of the Hong Kong film industry, Xiang Huasheng, and Mr. Xiao Kai, to invest 500 million yuan in ten films in five years, and the common point is to invest on a large scale. Among them, "Dragon Phoenix Shop" is the second part, and "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang 2" is a second time, in addition to which some plots also echo it. Among them, Huang Xiaoming led the "four talents" to appear, continuing the funny style of "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang". But unlike before, they incarnated as a foursome of liars. In addition, you can also see many characters in classic movies, just like the fire cloud evil god in "Kung Fu", this time playing the bodyguard next to the Yellow Emperor, although it is a supporting role, his role is also very funny. I don't know if the audience will watch the play, but they can always think of the previous toad gong, and that role can be described as deeply rooted in people's hearts. In addition to many Hong Kong actors, there are also many cameos in China, of which He Yunwei appeared in "Dragon and Phoenix Shop". When he was still famous, inviting cross-talk actors to shoot dramas also added a lot of humor, and at that time, he was still Guo Degang's favorite disciple and did not quit the society. I can't help but wonder if it was because of starring in the movie that I had such an idea. In this movie, Ren Xianqi is even the protagonist, but his treatment in the crew is not good.
This is Ren Xianqi's first time to play the emperor, and the contrast between the characters in the play is particularly large. Although at the beginning of the movie is a life of fine clothes and food, the plot behind it is very different, not only reduced to a beggar but also taken to the streets to show the public. There was a scene of being smashed eggs, when he first saw the script, Ren Xianqi did not take it seriously, thinking that these things would not hurt at all, and later in the process of filming, the actors did not dare to smash at the beginning, and then the assistant director led by example. Directly smashed on the head, at the beginning of the actors there was still talk and laughter, helplessly at that time the weather was very hot, and soon Ren Xianqi had a smell on his body, which made many people stay away. Ren Xianqi, who lives in the crew, has suffered "unfair treatment" more than once. In the movie, in order to keep the reputation of the Dragon And Phoenix Shop, Xiaolong ate the centipede in the food on the spot, and later became a sausage mouth due to poisoning. In fact, such an idea comes from the image of Wu Junru in "The Great Inner Secret Agent Zero Zero Dog". Presumably, many people also have fresh memories, just looking at such an image, it is already very funny. At that time, Ren Xianqi was also very interested, but when the thick lips were pasted, he regretted it a little. The mouth can't be closed, the lips become dry, and I can't lick and lick, which is to add weight to the lips overall. Drink water with someone else's help with a straw and stuff it from the corner of your mouth. Originally, this was already tragic enough, when the director saw Ren Xianqi's dress, he directly ordered lamb kebabs in the crew. The purpose is to see Ren Xianqi. At that time, when filming this clip, Xu Xiyuan also wanted to try this sausage mouth, after all, when cooperating with Wu Junru, she wanted to try, and later arranged to have two sausage mouths. But helplessly, Xu Xiyuan dressed up, it was really ugly. The director gave up such a decision, and could only let Ren Xianqi enjoy such happiness alone. Although the play tells a funny love story between Ren Xianqi and Xu Xiyuan, Xu Xiyuan herself is not willing to cooperate with Ren Xianqi. What's going on here ?
In 2004, Xu Xiyuan and Liu Ye filmed their first film "Suspicious Gods and Suspicious Ghosts", in fact, when she came to the mainland to shoot a scene, she and Ren Xianqi became acquainted. But "Dragon Phoenix Shop" is still their first intimate cooperation, but in the interview afterwards, they said that they did not want to star with Ren Xianqi because the two had known each other for too long and were like brothers and sisters when filming. The ideal partner in her heart is actually Huang Xiaoming. After Ren Xianqi and Xu Xiyuan met before, Ren Xianqi, as an old actor, said to Xu Xiyuan, Sister, if you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me. It just so happened that Xu Xiyuan came to work in the mainland, the place she went to was a bit off, and later she met a group of people who didn't look like the staff, and she was very scared at the time. The first was to call Ren Xianqi, and then two hours later, Ren Xianqi's bodyguards arrived from Shanghai. Of course, these words were not only said to Xu Xiyuan alone, but also helped many people like Xiao Qi Ge. Although the rating of this movie is very low, there are also many viewers who like to watch it. Among them, the song "Heart liver baby" has also been welcomed by many people. This song was written by Ren Xianqi, although it was not written for this film, but it was sung by Xu Xiyuan and Ren Xianqi, which is also very suitable for the theme of the movie. Even the previous famous song "Heart Too Soft" was written by the mentor Xiao Worm, it can be said that without the Little Worm, Ren Xianqi would be difficult to reach today's height.
And Xiao Qi is also a person who knows gratitude, in order to put the teacher in an important position first, when the worm encounters difficulties, it is even more for him to help, sending a million as a gift on his birthday. For this play not only did not give people are extremely hard. Teacher Pan Changjiang, who starred in a Hong Kong film for the first time, was even more in order to perform the close-up of the face, and he has been practicing eyebrow dance at home for two months. In this way, there is a performance in the play. Even the scene where Ren Xianqi is chased and beaten by Xu Xiyuan is taught by hand, and Ren Xianqi, with his experience of being beaten since childhood, tells Xu Xiyuan that it will not hurt if he is so big. Because when the director arranged this scene, he gave instructions to really fight, and it was difficult to control the force while running, so Ren Xianqi personally taught. In fact, for this funny comedy, the actors have also put a lot of effort into it, and if you let you watch this movie again, you will score a few points out of five.
