The October blockbuster ＂Zhen Kung Fu＂ ＂Special Identity＂ is released today
"Special Identity" starring Donnie Yen is released today
Starring Donnie Yen, Jing Tian, An Zhijie, Zhang Hanyu and others, the most explosive action masterpiece of 2013 landed in major cinemas across the country today. It is understood that the film has invited the well-known Hong Kong director Huo Yaoliang, who has filmed many classic action scenes, the Academy Award cinematographer Bao Dexi, and the famous Hong Kong speed director Luo Lixian, known as the "car god", to join the production. Coupled with the genuine mixed fighting "Zhen Kung Fu", "Special Identity" can be described as the "strongest film in October". On the occasion of the release of the new film, the film exposed the five "strongest points to watch" for the audience.
"The Strongest Tough Guy" Donnie Yen "1 hits 100"
This time, the kung fu superstar Donnie Yen has returned to his best fashion kung fu film after a lapse of six years, and his quick and fierce mixed combat "Zhen Kung Fu" is reproduced on the big screen. Talking about the characteristics of the action scenes in "Special Identity", Donnie Yen said that this time the action design has made a big breakthrough. He introduced that he has tried to integrate Brazilian Jiu Jitsu into fighting from the beginning; this time he will let go of his hands and feet, and make bold innovations in action design, adding street fighting, special forces fighting and other skills. "This time I hope to put some knowledge of different martial arts that I have practiced for decades into my film, and show the visual effects of kung fu in the most direct and exciting way."
Director Huo Yaoliang introduced that at least two-thirds of the film is action scenes such as exciting fighting and speeding cars. Donnie Yen’s tough man iron fist is even more important. In the three important fighting scenes of mahjong hall, hot pot restaurant group fight and broken bridge fight, his Ip Man’s "1 fight 10" kung fu burst has been upgraded to "1 fight 100" shocking drama. Donnie Yen this time fully demonstrates the mixed fighting charm of kung fu such as taekwondo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. In narrow corridors or closed rooms, he fights the swarming armed gangs with his bare hands through punches, elbows, knees and legs. Even he himself bluntly said that this time is "the hardest time in 30 years".
"Strongest Lens" Oscar-level master photographer’s mirror visual effect upgrade
This time, Bao Dexi, who won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography and seven Hong Kong Academy Awards for Best Cinematography, is not only the director of photography, but also the executive producer of the film. He commented that "Special Identity" will set off a visual revolution in action theater, which can be described as "handsome, cool, modern and brilliant". He also commented: "If the action scene of this play is described in four words, I think it should be’blood and sweat ‘and’passion’. Zidan moves at a very fast speed, which often makes it difficult for our cameras to capture, and he has dedicated a landmark performance in this film."
In the entire film, Baldsey and the production team also carefully designed a number of unprecedented action scenes. One of the rainy night battles is particularly exciting. According to Baldsey, the previous rain scenes were "made" with simple water sprinklers. In this scene, the crew used a crane to hang a huge water tank in the air, so that the "rain" fell vertically, which made the "rain scene" appear more real and textured. Although the difficulty coefficient has increased sharply, and the budget has been doubled, the visual effect is outstanding. And Donnie Yen, who is also an action director, also expressed confidence: "I dare to say that’Special Identity ‘is a level that can lead the trend, not only in the overall level of our Chinese action films, but also may create a level that can be used by filmmakers all over the world to make action films."
"The Strongest Female Man" Jing Tian’s life-fighting police flower zero substitute leaps over the flyover
In the play, well-known actress Jing Tian challenged the role of "beating a woman" in a fashion action movie for the first time, and the image subversion was amazing. And Bao Dexi also praised her: "It really made my eyes shine, let me know what anger is in literary dramas, and how to chop a horse in a car in martial arts dramas." Jing Tian introduced that the film brought her "first time": "This is my first time in a fashion action movie, the first time I took a gun, the first time I hit someone, and the first time I flew down from the overpass to race a car." It is understood that in order to complete these fighting movements, Jing Tian entered the group a month in advance for physical fitness and martial arts training. "Every day I go to split, lower my waist, and then go to wrench my legs, run, sweat, I have to change three sets of training clothes every day."
In the filming scene, Jing Tian’s kung fu debut can be described as "all-out". In many dangerous action scenes, she did not use a double to complete all of them herself. In the most dangerous action scene, she leaped down a multi-story overpass to the roof of a high-speed bus, and then jumped several cars in a row. Finally, she and An Zhijie, who plays the gangster, fought in close quarters in the cramped body of the commercial vehicle. In order to complete these fights, Jing Tian was injured a lot. "Sometimes when I went back to the hotel to take a shower, I found that my body was blue and purple, and it was all injured," she recalled. Even the tough-fisted An Zhijie praised her as an "female man" who could not be beaten to death.
"Strongest Kung Fu" Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Taekwondo Fight "Zhen Kung Fu"
In the drama, the biggest highlight is the "Zhen Kung Fu" of the 18 martial arts battles such as Muay Thai, Taekwondo, and free fighting. In this film, Donnie Yen tailors a set of action moves for each action actor. And all action scenes strive for the fierce realism of "fist to flesh, recruit blood". Even the experienced Bao Dexi couldn’t help but sigh: "After filming this drama, I know what real kung fu is." At the filming scene, the director Huo Yaoliang described the environment between life and death every day. When filming a fight scene, even makeup artists often can’t tell where the real injury is and where the fake wound of makeup is. " In my bones, I still prefer the kind of fighting, fighting, and free fighting. I have been like this since I was a child, and I may have been influenced by Bruce Lee. "Donnie Yen explained.
In addition to promoting the fast and fierce "Zhen Kung Fu", the film also invited kung fu masters such as Zou Zhaolong and former Muay Thai champion Lu Huiguang to join us. And a group of action stars will dedicate wonderful, fist-to-flesh close combat in the drama. It is worth mentioning that Zou Zhaolong, who has played with Jet Li six times before and participated in "The Matrix 2", got rid of the role of pure star fighting this time, and his hair was dyed white to play the gangster boss "Long Hair Xiong". And Lu Huiguang, who has won seven consecutive championships in Hong Kong Muay Thai competitions, also has wonderful fighting in the drama.
"The Strongest Speed" and "Car God" joined the hurricane and crashed 10 luxury cars in a row
It is understood that the film’s action design has been fully upgraded on the basis of Donnie Yen’s previous films "Kill the Wolf" and "Fuse", and in addition to the fast-bursting close combat, the flying coach Luo Lixian will also inject the most exciting, shocking and thrilling flying car stunt footage into the film. In order to pursue realism, not only a large number of real scenes are used in the shooting, but even the actors have to go into battle in person and refuse to double. And in order to present a wonderful flying car scene, the film is also a blood. The director revealed that in a major car scene, ten luxury cars with nearly one million yuan were scrapped during the filming process, including Volvos with excellent safety performance. "The car chase scene was filmed for two months. In order to strive for excellence, sometimes only one or two shots were shot a day."
Joining "Special Identity" this time, Luo Lixian also revealed that he has added many new things to the film: "Every flying car scene is a bit special, and I will add something that I have not done before. This time I use some more realistic methods to shoot, and the computer stunts will be less used." He is confident that the flying car scene of "Special Identity" will not be surpassed for a long time.
