Yesterday, reporters interviewed the screenwriter Wei Junzi of the film. He called himself and Wu Zhenyu the two most powerful actors and hoped to work together to produce a satisfactory work.

Wei Junzi: The first person to have a fever for Hong Kong films

For a fan who loves Hong Kong movies, Wei Junzi is an absolutely familiar name. If we call him the Hong Kong of the Mainland It is no exaggeration to say that he is the first person to have a movie fever.

Early yesterday morning, through his blog, Wei Junzi revealed the synopsis and progress of the movie "Chasing Shadows", which was adapted from his work "The Dark Moon" two years ago, co-directed by Wu Zhenyu and Mai Zishan, and invested and shot by Huayi Brothers .

In the blog, Wei Junzi revealed that the genre of the film will be martial arts + treasure hunting, the theme will be inn + fighting skills, the background will be Ming history + troubled times, the style will be comedy + suspense, and the meaning of the film will be He defined it as: a tribute to Chinese martial arts movies, combining the classic scenes of five famous directors into one, packaged in a new style.

Fans who are familiar with Hong Kong movies, Wei Junzi believes that they should be able to glean mysteries from the main characters.

"Chasing Shadows": A tribute to Hong Kong films

Although Wei Junzi revealed something in his blog, most netizens still may not understand it. In an interview with reporters yesterday, Wei Junzi Junzi explained to reporters in detail that "Chasing Shadows", which is about to be filmed in Hengdian, is set in the late Ming Dynasty when the Qing army is about to enter the country. In such a troubled atmosphere, "party leaders" (Jin Yiwei), "bodyguards", and "captains" " and the four "thieves" entered the palace in order to obtain the "Ming Dynasty Treasure Map" and happened to meet the Jurchen master who was waiting for his lover, the female ninja. After that, the treasure map disappeared. Due to a misunderstanding, the masters embarked on a journey of thousands of miles to seize the treasure. Finally, they lived together in the town where the treasure was located, but they continued to hunt for the treasure. Several masters work as tailors, barbers, and inns during the day, and at night they fight and hunt for treasures.

Wei Junzi also explained to reporters the meaning of the main characters. He has always wanted to make a film that pays tribute to Hong Kong martial arts films, so the protagonists have such names: Ye Hechang. Gong (Zhang Che), Gu Yuejin (Hu Jinquan), Xu Xiake (Tsui Hark), Hong Jialiang (Sammo Hung), Chu Wanwan (Chu Yuan), Nalan Hanjiang (Li Hanxiang), and these details reflect his relationship with Hong Kong There is an unspoken understanding of martial arts films, "Those who are familiar with Hong Kong martial arts films will probably smile." However, Wei Junzi also emphasized to reporters that the purpose of this film is not to spoof these famous directors, and there is no so-called copycat. ""Chasing Shadows" conveys Hong Kong martial arts film culture through details, and also explores life. In the film, the treasure hunt will surprise everyone until the end. In fact, I also want to ask the audience, what is the treasure in your heart? Martial arts is a kind of Means, think about what is most important to me, that’s what I want to express.”

The purpose of this movie is not to pay tribute to many martial arts films, but to pay tribute to many martial arts film directors.

As far as I know, the main martial arts films it pays homage to are "Dragon Inn" (note, not "New Dragon Inn")

Some parts of the story are modeled after "Dragon Inn" , and the scenes are set based on many martial arts films, such as "New Shushan Swordsman", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", etc., in order to pay tribute to King Hu, Tsui Hark, Cheng Xiaodong, Chang Cheh, Ang Lee and others.

As for movies, it not only imitates and pays homage to martial arts movies, but also last year's hit "Slumdog Millionaire" and "If You Are the One". It also pays homage to Li Ning's air walk in the Olympics.

The meaning of the film is defined as: a tribute to Chinese martial arts movies. The classic scenes of five famous directors are combined into one, and packaged in a new style.

The five major sections and works of tribute are:

: "The First Chapter: Incomplete" - Zhang Che's Panchang Battle,

"The Second Chapter "Yingchun Pavilion Storm" - Hu Jinquan's inn fighting,

"Chapter 3: Ghosts fighting ghosts" - Sammo Hung's zombies fighting ghosts,

"Chapter 4: No Gate to Hell" - ——Tsu Hark laughs and scolds in troubled times,

"Chapter 5: Annihilating Enmity on a Snowy Night with a Bright Moon Sword"——Chu Yuan is romantic and strange.

The main characters include: Ye He Changgong, Gu Yuejin, Xu Xiake, Hong Jialiang, Chu Wanwan, Nalan Hanjiang

Any movie fans who are familiar with Hong Kong movies will probably know this. You can see the hidden meaning~-~

Ye He Changgong (Zhang Che), Gu Yuejin (Hu Jinquan), Xu Xiake (Tsu Hark), Hong Jialiang (Sammo Hung), Chu Wanwan ( Chu Yuan), Nalan Hanjiang (Li Hanxiang)

The main creative staff said that the background of this story is similar to "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" (funny, haha), with bamboo forests, palaces, deserts, etc. The scene elements that often appear in Hong Kong martial arts films are now all included in "Chasing Shadows". It also imitates Stephen Chow's martial arts - while being funny, there are also many exquisite fighting scenes.

Of course, Tsui Hark's The Swordsman trilogy was naturally involved a lot.

"Chasing Shadows" implies people's morbid pursuit of material things: wealth, power, chasing after each other are just phantoms. Especially in the context of the financial tsunami, the numbers in bank accounts that many people have worked hard for their entire lives disappeared in an instant.

Francis Ng: Two Mental Knives

Wu Chun-yu, who is known as the "Psychic Knife" in the Hong Kong film industry, this time serves as the director of "Chasing Shadows" together with *** Mak Zishan. Wei Junzi said, "I think Wu Zhenyu has great confidence in me." The two people, who have always had a good personal relationship, have an amazing tacit understanding when it comes to making movies. "Francis Ng is a person with very clear themes. If he wants to talk about something, he has to talk about it to the extreme. He also has great ideas. He needs a script to express it." After seeing my script, I was excited with Mai Zishan for a long time and talked to me several times about how to film this movie."

According to Wei Junzi, he and Wu Zhenyu both love Kitano Takeshi and Quentin, so when preparing to make a movie with a striking Hong Kong martial arts style, of course it must be based on tribute, "This way We need to make many scenes exquisite, so Huayi’s investment will be used in exquisite martial arts dramas. We will copy some classic scenes, such as some scenes in "The Invincible".

As for actors, Wei Junzi told reporters that Hong Kong artist Jaycee Chan (News, Archives) will play Xu Sanguan, a scholar who is the landlord of several masters. While collecting rent, he falls in love with a Jurchen master and a female. The adopted daughter of the ninja adds a lot of black humor to the treasure hunting life of the masters. In addition to Jaycee Chan and Tsui Hark, Sammo Hung and others who may have guest appearances, the actors playing the heroes "will also be very interesting and very unexpected." However, Wei Junzi refused to reveal it now, "This is a very crazy idea, and even more so. It’s a big stunt, but it needs to be kept secret for now.”

In general, the filming of "Chasing Shadows" is about to start, making Wei Junzi's "dream come true". As for the box office and the audience, "I can't think about it, I can only try my best to do it well."

It is also understood that the early stage of "Chasing Shadows" is now ready. In addition to "Chasing Shadows", Wei Junzi is also stepping up writing another script with Hong Kong filmmakers.

[Edit this paragraph] Highlights

Highlight 1 In the desert outside the city, swords danced across the sand. From the beginning of the film, the audience is quickly brought into a world of swords and shadows. Two martial arts masters, Ye He Changgong and Nalan Hanjiang, are running wildly and flying in the desert outside the Great Wall, facing each other with swords, bringing the classic Hong Kong martial arts charm. The display was vivid and vivid, and it also left the audience breathless and extremely enjoyable.

Highlight 2: The top of the Forbidden City, in front of flowers and under the moon. Although this is a martial arts comedy in ancient costume, there is also some beautiful and touching family affection and love in it. On the eaves of the cold and windy roof, two figures chasing dreams stood under the cold moonlight. No one knew whether they could find their true love in the wavering years of the world.

Highlight 3 Longmen Inn, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. There are many masters gathered in the inn, and there are many murderous intentions. Tsui Hark's "New Dragon Gate Inn" opened up a new era for martial arts movies, and "Chasing Shadows" once again replicates this classic scene, not only to pay tribute to the predecessors, but also to strive to reach new heights in martial arts movies.

Highlight 4: Classic lines, crazy and funny. Xu Sanguan, played by Jaycee Chan, and Tang Wei, played by Xie Na, are responsible for most of the funny scenes in the film. Many novel and weird lines are likely to be widely circulated among young audiences and become popular terms in 2009. After watching these clips, many people in the industry couldn't help but sigh that Stephen Chow-style Hong Kong martial arts comedy has finally returned to the film industry.

[Edit this paragraph] Behind-the-scenes production

The Korean HFR company that once produced visual effects for "The King of Kung Fu" is one of the top special effects teams in Asia. Its masterpieces "Oldboy", "Han River Monster" and "Good Guy, Bad Guy, Strange Guy" were the top Korean movies in 2005, 2007 and 2008 respectively. These three works are also Wu Zhenyu's favorite Korean movies: the strong Asian style in the image style is obviously different from any Western movies - it has the retro tones of 80s movies and very modern special effects processing. It is precisely "Chasing Shadows" "The desired effect - paying homage to classics from a new perspective. Considering that there are many tribute passages and comedy elements in "Chasing Shadows". Wu Zhenyu was initially worried that the special effects production would not meet his requirements because of the language barrier. Unexpectedly, when watching the rough cut without any subtitles, the Korean team was very easy to get involved. Not only did they understand the plot without any obstacles, but the jokes were also at the right time. They said: Even though it was only a rough cut, it was very interesting for us to watch. The plot was unexpected and the humorous passages were very intelligent.

This time, through the joint efforts of photography and special effects, I integrated the changes of the seasons into the elegant martial arts movements, which is so beautiful that it even surpasses My imagination. Another "treasure hunt in the tomb" section, whether it is the internal scenes or various novel mechanisms, can be compared with "Tomb Raider". There is no doubt about the international status of Hong Kong martial arts films, which can be said to be the anchor that will always keep Hong Kong films in the international film scene. Therefore, it is not difficult to explain why "Chasing Shadows", which pays tribute to Hong Kong martial arts movies, has received such generous treatment as soon as it first appeared on the international stage. The film cleverly combines the exciting scenes of many classic martial arts movies, and creatively adds its own unique concept, allowing the audience to review the classics while also gaining more novel audio-visual experiences.

[Edit this paragraph] Actor introduction

Wu Zhenyu plays Ye He Changgong

Ye He Changgong is a character who bears the hatred of the country and his family. In the process of revenge, I gradually gave up what I thought I wanted to pursue before. In order to win the title of "No. 1 in the world", Nalan Hanshang, a master of the Qing court, always approached Ye He for a longbow duel. But in the duel, Ye He Changgong, who had the absolute upper hand, chose to admit defeat because he believed that the so-called number one in the world was an illusion. The "Ming Dynasty's founding treasure" that martial arts masters are constantly fighting for, Ye He's long bow feels even more meaningless. Faced with the woman he loved, Ming Yue Xin, although he was exploited many times, he felt painful but willing to do so. Ye He could also play the matouqin, and his greatest wish in life was to sing a song with Ming Yue Xin wholeheartedly.

Pace Wu as Ming Yue Xin

Ming Yue Xin is a Ryukyu female ninja. Its mission is to seize the treasures of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to threaten the Ming Dynasty and remove Ryukyu from its status as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. For this purpose, no matter how big the blow is, Ming Yue Xin must persevere, even by any means: using Ye He Changgong's love for herself as a talisman, using Gu Yue Jin's fascination with herself to find clues to the treasure, and using the adopted daughter Tang Wei's family affection in exchange for Xu Sanguan's treasure map. It was not until the end that Mingyue Xin realized that the so-called treasures and tasks were all illusions, and only love and family ties were the real wealth.

Xie Na as Tang Wei

Tang Wei was adopted by Ye He Changgong and Ming Yue Xin from a young age. On the one hand, she was influenced by the heroic spirit of the two knights, and on the other hand, Ye He Changgong and Ming Yue The discord between her face and heart has also affected Tang Wei's character: she is careless on the surface and loses her temper easily, but deep down she is sensitive and fragile, longing for family affection. Faced with the crazy pursuit of "rich kid" Xu Sanguan, she originally refused, but in order to help Ming Yuexin find the treasure, she was forced to date Xu Sanguan. She had never been in a relationship before, and when she had to compromise with Xu Sanguan, she always failed to control the situation and made a lot of jokes.

Jaycee Chan as Xu Sanguan

Xu Sanguan is a very wealthy scholar who owns real estate in the entire town and often studies abroad. He returned to the town because his father died. He does nothing every day but collects rent everywhere. Even the mayor Gu Yuejin is very polite to him. Xu Sanguan was infatuated with Tang Wei, the foster daughter adopted by Ye He Changgong and Mingyue Xin. In addition to collecting rent, he tried every means to make her happy every day.

As the treasure map begins to emerge, Xu Sanguan finally finds his goal in life despite being bored - to help Tang Wei hunt for the treasure.

Chasing Movies - About the Starring

Best actor Ng Chun-yu directs and stars this time, and his "Wu-style humor" will be revealed from time to time in the film. During the filming process, the director allowed the actors to act as they pleased on the spot, and several leading actors were even more involved, adding a lot of impromptu humor to the film.

Francis Ng and Pace Wu respectively play the roles of the Jurchen master Ye He Longbow and the Japanese female ninja Ming Yue Xin in the movie. The two pretend to be an "ordinary couple" in a small town. ", and adopted an adopted daughter--Tang Wei. A few years later, Tang Wei became the "town beauty" and was pestered by Master Xu Sanguan played by Jaycee Chan. Whether it was true or false, the two eventually became "happy enemies". As for the lively, intelligent and innocent Tang Wei in the play, Wu Zhenyu spent a lot of time in casting the role and chose Xie Na at the last glance. Wu Zhenyu said that aside from Xie Na's eccentricity, what he admires most is her generosity and true temperament. "Tang Wei's image has both the heroic spirit of a woman in the world and the innocence that is not contaminated. It is the same as that of Zheng Peipei in "The Big Brother"." The character Jin Yanzi played in "The Drunken Man" has the same qualities, and Xie Na's temperament fits it very well. "Dang Hao, another powerful young actor, plays the role of the town mayor Gu Yuejin. Dang Hao, who had a wonderful performance in "Jade Warrior", plays Wu Zhenyu's "love rival" this time - Gu Yuejin, who competes with the Jurchen master Ye He Changgong for the favor of the female ninja Ming Yue Xin. At the same time, he is responsible for "control" The important task of all the martial arts masters in the town. The part where Xu Sanguan pursues Tang Wei and Gu Yuejin pursues Ming Yue Xin will become the most relaxed and humorous part in the whole movie.

"Chasing Shadows" has earned so much praise that the box office curve has soared and the theaters have added additional screenings

Since its release on July 30, the period martial arts comedy "Chasing Shadows" has always been known for its many joys The elements made the scene full of laughter, and the creator of the film even brought the slogan "If you don't watch "Chasing Shadows" this summer, you will be OUT" to all parts of the country. Faced with the competition from many movies in the same summer schedule, "Chasing Shadows" clearly has the upper hand in terms of reputation for comedy. A large gathering of "copycat stars", a basket of A-version superstars, "Dragon Prince" Jaycee Chan's sudden "Why is this?", Xie Na's open and shut Sichuan Mandarin, and Wu Pace's leg-weakening look back and smile, among the treasures are many tributes to the Olympics elements, and the song show imitating "Slumdog Millionaire" at the end... "Chasing Shadows" predictably amused all the audience with a variety of humor. Director Wu Zhenyu and the main creators traveled to various parts of the country to promote the film, and they were warmly welcomed and sought after by local audiences. Some enthusiastic netizens even made a funny video specifically for "Chasing Shadows", which has a high click-through rate on various video websites.

How many people need "Chasing Shadows" is the key

First of all, the script is made up of words. It is very abstract and many adjectives are not very intuitive. As a director, I naturally have to use my own Understand and realize it. I think it’s so hot in the summer, so everyone can think of "Chasing Shadows" as a soft drink, just for comfort. The more people who need comfort, the better the box office will be.

Wu Zhenyu directed and starred in "Chasing Shadows" to play with knockoff martial arts

Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Andy Lau are all knockoffs. The highly simulated all-star cast gives the film "Chasing Shadows" (available on-demand on Wasu Interactive TV: Home Cinema - Comedy from September 11) a unique flavor. Among them, the knockoff versions of Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Andy Lau accounted for almost 90% of the jokes in the entire film.

The film captures the characteristics of Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Andy Lau for ridicule and spoofing: "Andy Lau" sings a duet, "Jackie Chan" sells Tang suits with four pockets, and "Jet Li" preaches to everyone about the desert. There will be a tsunami, he will promote his own sheepskin lifebuoy, and "Jay Chou" who can't sing the lyrics will take turns blasting Jay Chou's catchphrases... These all made the audience burst into laughter.
