Liu Dehua's "storm" is a great challenge and feat in Hong Kong's film history, which is full of expectation.
Liu Dehua and Jiang Zhiqiang are the co producers and producers, Yuan Jinlin is the director, and Liu Dehua, Yao Chen, Lin Jiadong, Hu Jun (micro blog) and LV Liangwei (micro blog) are the cast members to jointly create the first 3D police bandit action blockbuster "storm", which will meet the audience in this year's "double 12-year-old celebration" (December 12).
It is different from the previous "Infernal Affairs" series, the "eavesdropping storm" series and the "cold war" series. This "storm" will not only reproduce the classic elements of the golden age of Hong Kong Police and bandit films, but also upgrade in an all-round way. It will perform a "fight all over Hong Kong" summit duel on the screen. It is worth mentioning that "storm" is not only the first time in the heart of Hong Kong-- In the downtown area of central China, even Michael bull Bay couldn't help but move transformers 4 to follow the trend. It can be seen that storm's ambition to create a new era of Chinese police banditry is on the verge.
100 minutes of fighting
If you can sum up the popularity of storm in one sentence, it can be summed up as "100 minutes without rest", and it can be divided into three main selling points: 70 minutes of hot action, 30 minutes of central police bandit duel, and 60 minutes of Liu Dehua as the main character.
To create the three main movements, the theater has applied for more than 100 kinds of firearms, and has used nearly 20000 prop bullets, hundreds of cars used for towing, impact and blasting, and dozens of heavily armed Flying Tigers. Meanwhile, it has closed many urban road lines and shot gunfire scenes, even at the expense of building a 1:1 central street scene, just as director Yuan Jinlin. What we said: 'storm has made such a large-scale action scene in Hong Kong's busy market, which can be said to be a great challenge and feat in Hong Kong's film history. '
Of course, these are just the important 'hardware' of the movie. In the aspect of 'software', storm has set up the action banner of 'fight all over Hong Kong'. The actors in the film will first kill the residential buildings, then fight on the highway, and finally fight in the central area. After each action play, it means that the next bigger 'fight' will appear. Finally, the fire will be pushed to the extreme, and the 3D effect will undoubtedly show a breathless visual spectacle.
Yuan Jinlin said: 'as an original Hong Kong style police and bandit film, it is always one of our creative cores to present action scenes in Hong Kong's real scenes. Therefore, we have looked around since the preparatory stage, and determined several representative places, including central, and then spent a long time studying how to shoot action scenes in each place. The purpose is to With the theme of & lsquo; going all over Hong Kong & rsquo;, create the sense of reality and nativity of storm. '
In addition, storm has a realistic and cruel style in fighting. Yuan Jinlin said that Liu Dehua and Lin Jiadong were in a fight in a residential building, and they were so selfless. 'Huazai and Jiadong were really fighting from the beginning to the end. They had to jump over the balcony and fall into a ten story high iron net to continue to fight. It was quite dangerous, but they were very dedicated. After the start-up, they seemed to forget that they were in the middle of the sky. Instead, we saw them in a cold sweat, especially Huazai, who was so desperate as a boss. '
"Transformers 4" follows the wind
What the audience is looking forward to is that in the middle ring war at the climax of the storm, not only the police and bandits sent out all kinds of heavy weapons to fight and kill, including chase, gun battle, flying car, explosion and even the cruel scenes comparable to disaster movies, but also a lot of them.
In fact, the "bond" between "storm" and "central" is unprecedented in Hong Kong films. As the political and commercial center of Hong Kong, in the past, no matter Chinese or foreign films, it's very difficult to shoot big scenes in the downtown area of central, let alone fight with bullets. But "storm" is exactly the precedent. In addition to many wonderful action plays, it's the first time to be allowed to shoot in real scenes in central Through the core areas such as Bida street, Queen's road and Yunxian street, storm has completed an "impossible task" in terms of scene scale and audio-visual effect!
It is worth mentioning that the reversal of the central part of storm even made Michael bull Bay follow the trend. Earlier, the "Transformers 4" crew specially selected one of the major escapes in the whole film to shoot in Central China. In addition to all the leading actors, there are hundreds of extras on-site to help, with the same momentum; While in Hong Kong, change 4 went to Mong Kok, Sham Shui Po, Tsing Ma Bridge and other places to take pictures, shooting chase, explosion, flying car and other action plays, which also coincided with the style of "storm" playing all over Hong Kong.
In addition, LV Liangwei and Wang minde, who play the villain and police chief respectively in storm, are also in the same role as change 4 this time. Recently, LV Liangwei said when attending the 'city war' conference: 'because of such a shocking war scene in storm, transformer 4 was attracted to Hong Kong for shooting. 'it shows that the two films are destined for each other.
