In the 1970s and 1980s, there was a wave of qigong fever in China. At that time, many so-called qigong masters emerged, all of whom claimed to have supernatural powers. It is fooling a large number of ordinary people.
At that time, under the deception of a certain master, many people thought they could receive the cosmic signal with a stainless steel pot on their heads, and then became immortal without all diseases, making a ridiculous farce.
Later, under the attack of the state, these masters disappeared. With the advent of the information age, the wisdom of the people has gradually improved. Although the phenomenon of cheating and abducting has not been completely eliminated, it will not cause any disturbances.
Lu Chen is determined to create a great martial arts IP plan. He has conducted relevant investigations and consulted a lot of information, so he understands the situation very well. At that time, the mainland and Xiangjiang had filmed some old-style martial arts films, which had a lot to do with this qigong craze. Associated.
He didn't expect that he would lead the new martial arts craze, and also cause some dross to rise up, and change his appearance into some "Master of Chuanwu" and "Master of National Art". to hype.
For example, the video of Wang Fang shaking dozens of people into the air by one of them was widely uploaded on the Internet, and he was dug out to be the disciple of a certain qigong master back then!
In terms of emotion and reason, Lu Chen couldn't tolerate this kind of liar blatantly bluffing and defrauding, and putting a layer of mud on the martial arts culture he advocated.
So he directly denounced the other party as a liar on his blog, calling on fans not to be credulous.
For this reason, Lu Chen opened two new blog posts in a row, explaining his point of view in detail.
First of all, new martial arts novels such as "Swordsman" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" belong to fantasy literature. They are stories that are artistically transformed from traditional history and martial arts. Same, it's all fictitious.
Secondly, Chinese martial arts has a long history, but the situation of inheritance and generation is quite serious. The ancient martial arts skills have been passed down to today, and there have been great changes. Basically, the routines for strengthening the body are the main ones.
For example, traditional martial arts, Chuanwu is undoubtedly the quintessence of the country, and it is very valuable as a set of martial arts for physical fitness, but it is no problem to use Chuanwu to develop internal strength, put it in novels and movies, but it is nonsense to perform it in reality.
As for Sanda and Lu Chen's own kung fu, they are actually combat skills just like kickboxing and boxing. The level of ability is improved through rigorous training and fighting. Any healthy person can learn it. There is nothing mysterious about it.
So videos like Wang Fang's and others, saying that they are magic tricks are considered praises, they are purely acting, and those who were shocked and knocked down are all trusting, it is impossible to believe it!
As soon as Lu Chen's blog post came out, he immediately got the support and approval of his fans. Although some sailors were still clamoring in his blog, they couldn't cause any disturbance.
After writing two blog posts, Lu Chen didn't pay attention to this matter anymore, because it was unnecessary at all. If he really cares about those people too seriously, it will give the other party a chance to hype.
He led the crew to move to Songshan to continue filming the second and third part of "Swordsman".
The "Swordsman" movie is divided into three parts in total, namely "Swordsman: Sword Out of Huashan", "Swordsman: Undefeated in the East" and "Swordsman: The Final Battle", which are scheduled to be released within this year. Filming complete.
Among them, "Sword Out of Huashan" has been released on the National Day file, and it has achieved great success. Therefore, Lu Chen changed the shooting and production plan of the next two films, and postponed the release of "Invincible in the East", which was originally released during the Spring Festival, to the summer file. .
The reason is actually very simple, because "Sword Out of Huashan" is too successful, and the audience's appetite has been raised to a high level. If the storyline and production quality of the second part cannot maintain the standard or surpass it, it will definitely affect this series. word of mouth, and the box office of the third part.
Moreover, several film companies are preparing to make martial arts films, and the competitive pressure faced by "Invincible in the East" is no less than that of the previous film "Sword Out of Huashan", and even greater.
Generally speaking, the sequels of movies are very difficult to shoot, especially the first one is very successful, and everyone will naturally compare it, which puts a lot of pressure on the director and actors.
And "Invincible in the East" is the first movie directed by Lu Chen himself!
"The Sword of Swordsman Out of Huashan" was specially invited by Lu Chen to direct the famous director Chen Guozhi. He himself acted as the action director. Chen Guozhi had agreed at the beginning that he would only direct one movie and would not make a sequel.
Lu Chen also considered inviting other directors to replace Chen Guozhi, but in the end he chose to direct by himself. In order to become a qualified director, Lu Chen not only spent a lot of time studying, but also filmed "Sword Out". "Huashan" seriously learned from Chen Guozhi.
Chen Guozhi has always admired Lu Chen, and he supported Lu Chen's ideas very much, so he gave him a lot of guidance. "Sword Out of Huashan" can be said to be completed by the two of them.
Through the tempering of this big movie, although Lu Chen's director skills can't be compared with top celebrities like Chen Guozhi, there is basically no problem in completing a commercial movie independently.
Even so, Lu Chen is not arrogant. He strives for excellence in the process of directing and shooting new films, especially in the design of action scenes. It can be said that he is under tremendous pressure.
Under such circumstances, meeting the schedule is completely unrealistic. Lu Chen doesn't want to ruin the reputation he has built up with great difficulty. In order to ensure the quality, he must pay twice as much effort, so "Invincible in the East" The postponement of the release is a must.
On November 15, the crew of "Swordsman" came to Yu Province.
Songshan is the most important shooting location for the last two parts of "Swordsman", and the crew will shoot here until the New Year.
Songshan Mountain is located in the west of Henan Province, in the northwest of Dengfeng City, and adjacent to the ancient capital Luoyang in the west. It belongs to the Funiu Mountain System, with a total area of about 450 square kilometers. It is composed of Taishi Mountain and Shaoshi Mountain. The birthplace and the sacred place of Taoism, the "Zhongyue" among the five mountains.
This famous mountain has a long history and cultural tradition. Countless literati and poets have left countless articles and poems throughout the ages, as well as many historical sites, all of which fit the background of the story of "Swordsman".
The two important sects in "Swordsman" - Shaolin Temple and Songshan School are both located in Songshan. In addition, in order to save time and cost, the exterior of Heimuya was also completed in Songshan.
