1. The "Fengshen" series of movies was officially announced.
The news of the finalization of the first part of the blockbuster "Fengshen" series came out, and the official Weibo released a poster, which will be released on June 17. This immersive film has been in production for several years, with an investment of up to 3 billion, and has gathered domestic first-line film superstars, which has been long-awaited by fans across the country. The three-part "Fengshen" series is a new peak in China's film and television industry, and will also open a new era of traditional cultural IP films.
The release of this traditional mythological film is of far-reaching significance. Most of the previous film and television works with relatively similar themes are not strong in storytelling and difficult to attract young audiences. However, with superb visual effects and golden dialogues, "Fengshen" will reinterpret this classic masterpiece, full of modern perspectives and cultural connotations, and will surely cause great repercussions. The production team's hard work in the past few years has finally seen the fruit, and I believe that it will be able to make a name for itself in the international film industry.
- Li Xuejian as Xibo Hou Jichang
Playing the important role of Xibo Hou Jichang is Li Xuejian, a veteran film celebrity. He has impressed audiences with series of films such as "The Wandering Earth". In this film, Ji Chang's character is complex and introverted, and Li Xuejian shows this important character three-dimensional with his deep eyes and delicate acting skills, giving him a three-dimensional and layered image, which adds a lot to the whole plot.
- Huang Bo as Jiang Ziya
Playing the other protagonist Jiang Ziya is the handsome and powerful Huang Bo in the film industry. The supermovie superstar's past heroes are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In "Fengshen", he reinterpreted this classic character with solid acting skills, and added his own characteristics on the basis of retaining the original work, making this new version of Jiang Ziya more vibrant, full of affinity and charm. It is foreseeable from the promotional images that he will give the audience a powerful visual impact.
Fei Xiang plays the role of the king of Shang
As the founding monarch and villain of the Shang Dynasty in the original novel of "Romance of the Gods", the role of King Shang is a very challenging touchstone for any good actor. The successful interpretation of this controversial and complex historical figure requires both solid acting prowess and excellent expressiveness. In this film and television work, Fei Xiang will play this important role.
As a powerful film and television veteran, Fei Xiang's performance level has always been widely recognized by the industry and the audience. But unlike the wandering man or introverted literati he usually plays, the role of the Shang King requires him to show emotional ruthlessness, power arrogance, and finally decadence. This is a huge shift for any actor. In his past works, Fei Xiang has repeatedly proved through excellent performances that he has the ability to perfectly interpret the internal changes in all aspects of a character.
I believe that in the adaptation of this film and television work, the director team will also start to shape this character from multiple angles. For example, it not only shows the tyrannical and sinister side of the Shang king, but also adds more layers to the character from the two aspects of a king's thirst for power and struggle with human nature. Under such a silhouette, Fei Xiang and the team will definitely bring fresh perspectives and understandings to the audience. I believe that the audience will witness a more emotionally complex and three-dimensional business king.
Working with the excellent production team and crew, Fei Xiang is confident that he will find and interpret the true meaning of the various complex aspects of this character with his amazing acting skills, and interpret a three-dimensional and thought-provoking business king in the meticulous details. It is believed that his outstanding performance will be one of the highlights of this masterpiece.
Chen Kun plays the role of Yuan Shi Tianzun
As a major gimmick of this film - Yuan Shi Tianzun, Chen Kun will undertake an important task to interpret this image of different opinions. As the highest-level deity in the Chinese mythological system, Yuan Shi Tianzun is a powerful and mysterious being. However, in the original novel, the representation of its image and character is not clear, giving room for new interpretation.
As a veteran film and television artist, Chen Kun will likely refer to more ancient texts and folk allusions when reinterpreting this mysterious image, adding more inner meaning and inner layers to this character. For example, it emphasizes its elegant and restrained beauty as the initial element of the universe, while also retaining the image of resourcefulness and wisdom. I believe that in the hands of Chen Kun, the audience will witness a more philosophical and emotional Yuan Shi Tianzun.
At the same time, as a master performer, Chen Kun's skills in subtle expressions, eye movements and other details will add a deeper inner texture to this important role that needs to be expressed. It is believed that with his rich experience in previous works, he will interpret a comprehensive and three-dimensional image of Yuan Shi Tianzun in terms of strength and mentality, which will become one of the bright highlights of this film and television.
Xia Yu plays Shen Gongbao
As a cunning character who succeeded in the rebellion in the original work, the role of Shen Gongbao will be a good test for any excellent actor to show two sides and psychological changes. On this basis, Xia Yu, as a senior film and television artist, will shoulder a major task to interpret this complex and colorful role.
I believe that when playing this role, Xia Yu will not only show his cunning and changeable side, but also delicately bring out the character's inner thirst for power, calculation and despair after the decline of strength through details such as eyes and body language, so that this character can be more deeply understood and admired by the audience.
In addition, as a new generation of film and television actors who have emerged in terms of performance strength, Xia Yu will definitely introduce more innovative interpretation elements in the restoration of this role. For example, the use of more realistic and delicate expressions to show the moment of psychological change, and the use of extraordinary observation combined with the modern view of human nature to show the complexity of the different aspects of the character.
It is believed that under Xia Yu's excellent interpretation, the audience will appreciate a more three-dimensional Shengong leopard, and then enhance a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the historical figure.
Yuan Quan plays Queen Jiang
As one of the important female characters in the original book, Queen Jiang's image setting provides a rich number of aspects to portray this film and television work. On this basis, senior film and television artist Yuan Quan will play this important role.
I believe that when creating the role of Queen Jiang, Yuan Quan will definitely restore it in detail from multiple angles, such as not only focusing on interpreting her important position as a country and her responsibilities and responsibilities as a wife, but also starting from the inner world and other aspects, how to balance the inner monologue and thinking under external conditions.
In addition, with the help of her flexible performance skills in many excellent works in the past, Yuan Quan will definitely be able to present the inner sorrow, wisdom and subtle psychological changes of this character through eye contact, body language and other details, giving the audience a more realistic and three-dimensional experience.
1. Introduction to other actors
In addition to the main actors mentioned earlier, "Fengshen" also brings together a number of powerful actors. With his unique acting skills and expressive eyes, Pu Cunxin played the role of Hu Sanniang who was deeply impressive. Xu Huanshan and Gao Shuguang played Di Yi and Di Qi respectively, will also use different performance styles to interpret these two opposing and complex characters. Jiang Huanchu, who plays an important role in the original work, is played by Yang Lixin, a senior actor, and I believe it can also give people a different visual enjoyment. In addition to the starring performance, the addition of these senior and powerful actors will also inject a unique performance charm into the whole film.
2. Gold medal production team
Director Wu Ershan can be said to be one of the most influential directors in China today. In his "Looking for the Dragon", he brought the mythological scenes in the hearts of readers to life with superb visual effects and delving into details, and won more than 1.6 billion box office results.
He has been working on the "Gods" project for ten years and will definitely reinterpret this classic with a unique perspective. Fighting side by side with Wu Ershan is senior screenwriter Ran Ping.
Ran Ping's classic works, such as "Water Margin" and "Wu Zetian", are known for their plump character relationships and legendary colors. His participation in the script creation of "Fengshen" will surely give the audience a precious visual enjoyment.
In addition, the film also invited top domestic talents in various aspects such as music and visual effects. Music director Yu Fei is good at using music to interpret subtle emotions, and his participation will surely bring the inner world of the film to a new level. Renowned cinematographer Wang Yu is good at creating a rich visual atmosphere, and his classic shots from the past are sure to add color to the film. Tim Yip, a fashion designer from Hong Kong, will also use his unique vision to bless every scene of the film. With the support of such a high-end production team, "Fengshen" will definitely present a touching visual feast.
1. Script Consultant Reed
The famous playwright Lu Wei served as the script consultant for this film, which undoubtedly added a very high artistic level to this film. Lu Wei is recognized as a top drama master in today's film and television drama industry, and many of his film and television works enjoy a high reputation at home and abroad. As a core playwright, Reed's standards are much higher than others. When discussing script revisions with the director's team, he is bound to give valuable opinions from both the big picture and the details.
Reed's exquisite penmanship can ensure that the film's story structure is solid, the plot is smooth, and the characters are three-dimensional and easy to understand. At the same time, his keen pen can also dig deep into the essence of the original novel and extract its inner cultural connotation. Under his direction, the film's script is bound to be full of deep inner thinking and nuanced realism. The audience will not only taste the wonderful visual enjoyment, but also get the spiritual treasure.
2. Music Director Yu Fei
The film's music director, Yu Fei, is also a leader in the film and television industry. His musical works can often become the soul of the film, making full use of music as an art form to show the theme of the film. As the music director of this film, Yu Fei will definitely use his rich musical literacy to interpret the spiritual connotation of the original work.
The beautiful soundtracks he has composed for many film works have added a strong humanistic atmosphere to the films. It is believed that under his conduct, every piece of music in the "Fengshen Trilogy" will become a classic, and the delicate rhythm and rhythmic coordination can perfectly interpret the emotional changes between the pictures. While the audience enjoys visual enjoyment, they can also obtain deeper spiritual nourishment through music.
3. Photography by Wang Yu
As the chief cinematographer of this film, Wang Yu is extremely talented in photography technology and artistic conception expression. Wang Yu is adept at using light, shadow and color to interpret storylines and characters, and many of his past works have achieved astonishing praise for visual effects.
In the process of filming this film, Wang Yu will definitely use a variety of clever lens language to show this vast and magnificent historical universe. Through the complex and changeable light and shadow effects, the implicit meaning and ideas in each scene are interpreted. At the same time, his superb film-making skills can also skillfully use composition angles, tonal processing and other techniques to make every picture full of visual beauty. I believe that under his control, this film will be able to present a high-level visual experience comparable to Hollywood blockbusters.
4. Costume and art design Tim Yip
Tim Yip, a well-known Hong Kong costume designer, is responsible for the costume and art design of the film, and his rich experience in film and television design adds a high fashion appeal to this film.
Tim Yip is good at delicate design and detailing according to different character images and story backgrounds. Coupled with his in-depth appreciation of traditional Chinese culture and accurate grasp of the style of the historical era, he will be able to reproduce the style of this magnificent era with excellent design language. At the same time, his control of hierarchy and proportion can also highlight the personality traits of each character to the greatest extent.
I believe that under his design, the scenes will present a strong cultural core and a unique aesthetic experience. The costume and the environment can be perfectly integrated, and the picture language can be blended with each other. Help the audience to further understand this glorious historical era with their eyes.
4. The significance and prospect of Chinese mythological films
Chinese mythological themes have far-reaching significance in film and television adaptations. It can fully mobilize the people's sense of cultural identity and stimulate their enthusiasm for cherishing and inheriting Chinese culture. At the same time, this can also effectively enhance the soft power of domestic film and television in the international market. With the emergence of more excellent works, it will be conducive to the development of Chinese films to the world, so that more foreign audiences can know and love Chinese culture.
And the "Fengshen Trilogy" will undoubtedly be the leader of the trend with this magnificent background. The production team and the director made it clear that they wanted to create a Chinese blockbuster that was both spiritual and visually successful. This is not far from the style of international blockbusters, indicating that Chinese films will have the ability to produce more masterpieces that can be in line with the world. It is believed that after the film comes out, it will be able to arouse widespread attention and discussion, and greatly enhance the public's acceptance of literary and artistic film and television.
In addition, it has the potential to become a new model for Chinese films to "go global". Through this excellent inheritance and re-creation, it will show the world China's unique national culture and creative attitude. The vast mythical world under the lens will surely attract the attention of more foreign audiences and realize cultural exchanges and exchanges. This will be a new starting point for Chinese films to enter the world stage.
