Chapter 180 Master

"Kung Fu Panda" will be an innovation in terms of genre, an action comedy CG animation movie. We will use all the latest technologies of the Blue Sky to bring everyone an exquisite and beautiful ancient Chinese world." - Producer Chris Wedge; "This is a very fun and traditional story. Panda Abao is definitely a likable guy." - Producer & Screenwriter Jonathan Abel. "We will strive to create the most realistic and beautiful Kung Fu. Bajiquan, Tai Chi, Tiger Fist, Mantis Fist and other boxing techniques will appear. I learned Bajiquan. Which kind of Panda Abao learns? Keep it confidential first." - Screenwriter & producer Wang Yang.

As the first anniversary of 911 becomes a thing of the past, and industries including film and entertainment have returned to their liveliness, Flame Movies and Blue Sky Studios have recently officially announced two new plans. The first is to invest 75 million to produce "Ice Age 2", which will be launched during the summer vacation in 2004; the second is to invest 100 million to produce the new animation "Kung Fu Panda", which will be released during the summer vacation in 2005.

This CG movie is indeed "all Chinese elements". The story is set in the ancient Chinese world. The characters are pandas, tigers and other anthropomorphic animals. Blue Sky Studio seems full of confidence, but the media are a little surprised. It is not surprising that Shenqiyang has made such a movie. What is surprising is that their development pace has to be spent 200 million in three years, which is equivalent to the 476 million global box office of "Ice Age".

Compared with Pixar, DreamWorks' animation plan, Chinese entertainment media, and movie fans should pay more attention to this matter, because of Shenqi Yang, because of Panda. Most of the voices on the Internet seem very excited and full of expectations. Tang Bohu lights up the mosquito coil and said: "It's great now, you can see the cute giant panda on the big screen!" The handsomeness alarmed the Party Central Committee and said: "Wang Yang, labor and capital are convinced! It will take 2005 to see it? My day! Can't you hurry up?!" Qingwu Feiyang said: "Support Shenqi Yang no matter when you are!"...

However, there were some doubts and insults, and he went online to sell blood and said: "What is Chinese culture like Wang Yang? Hurry up and ask Lao Taozi to be the director! Don't come out with all the inappropriate things!" Aunt Wu said: "What gifts to Chinese fans? Bah! Don't want to make a penny of me!" Climbing up the wall and waiting for Hongxing, he said: "Can the panda be used as a cartoon? This is our national treasure!"...

The question of whether to understand Chinese culture is only popular on the Chinese Internet, but "do you understand Kung Fu or not" has emerged as "Kung Fu Panda" has become a problem in the minds of all fans who pay attention to Fanqi Yang.

Because he has always said that he is just talking about it. Daniel Wu, who started practicing martial arts at the age of 11, also ranked fifth in the Beijing International Martial Arts Longquan Group, and also founded the Martial Arts Association at the University of Oregon. What is the magical Yang? Muscle? Muscle does not represent kung fu! He was beaten to his forehead by an ordinary paparazzi Cole? It seems that this is the only one now.

At this moment, Anderson, who was photographing his baby on Santa Monica Beach that day, was watching the heavy atmosphere of the first anniversary of 911, and entertainment gossip rose again, and "Kung Fu Panda" jumped out, which was the best time to sell that set of photos and videos! So he contacted media newspapers from all sides, and the copyrights from North America and Asia were quickly sold at high prices, making a fortune.

Then the photos and videos were exposed by the media at the first time: "The master of kung fu is amazing!"

There were dozens of pictures in the whole set, from Wang Yang and his group chatting at the door of the Flame Film Company, to on the beach, Wang Yang and Daniel Wu fought, Joshua Alba and Rachel McAdams watched nervously from the side.

He dodged and punched, and the strong muscles and veins in his arms burst, and his fist hit Daniel Wu's lower abdomen... If these very clear high-pixel photos are not enough to indicate a "kung fu master", then the same clear image almost tells everything. Everyone immediately knew that Shenqiyang did not brag. He is really a kung fu master, and he is not an ordinary master.

That image was not carefully edited by the Kung Fu movie, but the two of them had a real ferocity. Those head-on and solid collisions, agile and thrilling blocking and dodging, and the power, speed, moves, etc. that showed were by no means easy.

The gossip media "Hollywood Pioneer" even found a free fighting champion John Odel to analyze Shenqi Yang's strength. He said: "Wang Yang's playing style is very, very fierce, and it can be seen that he has rich practical experience. According to his height and weight, I think he is humble to say that he can beat 20 ordinary people at a time."

"Shenqi Yang seems to be a big brown bear! The last punch is so fierce! woooooo——" In the online comments, kick-ass' words were full of surprise; Brooke also wrote in surprise: "I think Shenqi Yang can easily defeat Jetch Chen, Jet Lee, so people look forward to his kung fu movie! I mean the starring role!" Kentes said: "Does Chinese people know how to do kung fu?!" Evelyn said: "There is another reason to like Shenqi Yang, so cool!"...

In the dim editing room, Debra Fisher, who once edited "Ace Spy" 1 and 2, and now serves as the editor of "Hangover", sat in front of the editing stand, staring at the computer screens in front of him, working with a mouse in his hand; Wang Yang stood not far away with his cell phone in his hand, listening to the question of "Los Angeles Times reporter Kim Sylvie with a little impatient face: "Yang, why do you play a friendly match with Daniel Wu on the beach?"

He had a pretty good relationship with Kim Sylvie. Now she called for a small interview. He didn't want to destroy the relationship between the Los Angeles Times, so he agreed. He heard her question, Wang Yang shrugged helplessly and said, "Jin, you know I have a life too. Why? This is life. It's not a big deal to fight when our interests come."

"Ok." Kim Sylvie smiled and asked again: "Then how powerful are your kung fu? Which professional competition do you think you are suitable for participating in and what results will you achieve?"

Wang Yang rolled his eyes angrily and said seriously to his phone: "So, I don't think I am suitable to participate in any professional competition, unless there is a competition that is a life-and-death contract, and there is no referee, you can insert your eyes and hit the crotch and hit the vitals, otherwise it will be all friendly matches... But obviously this is impossible and cruel. Even if there is one, I won't play, and I don't support such competition."

"You mean that in the case of zero rule, you can beat anyone?"

Hearing the question Jin Silvi asked with interest, Wang Yang couldn't help laughing and said, "No, I haven't said that. But the ultimate goal of all fighting and fighting is to knock down the opponent, or even kill the opponent. If there are a lot of restrictions, then your strength will always be behind. You can't use some other methods to make up for the disadvantages. Just like hitting the opponent's back of the head with an elbow, this is one of my tricks. Without them, how can I play the game?"

Kim Sylvie asked immediately: "This is a question that movie fans are very concerned about. Who is easy to fight against you, Jetch Chen, Jet Lee? Dwayne Johnson?"

"I don't know, I'll have to play before I know. If you want to see if I'm good at playing, buy a "Hangover" DVD in the future, that's it!" Wang Yang pressed the end call button, put down his phone and shook his head, muttering, "Why don't I call Yang Wang anymore, but fist-wang?" He smiled and walked towards the editing station.

The DVD of "Hangover" not only has behind the scenes of the director and starring fighting, but also has more photos of four-person teams crazily happening overnight at the end of the film, which is also an element that attracts movie fans to buy. As for the pictures of the movie when scrolling the credits at the end of the movie, they are all crazy but fall into the range of pg-13 levels.

"Hangover" will undoubtedly be R-level, but the reason why Wang Yang planned to get R-level from the beginning was because of "a lot of swearing and vulgar language." shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits... and the film basically only uses shit and fuck, without revealing points, r-level sex shots and embarrassing super vulgar shots. Anyway, this kind of shot is not particularly funny.

This is mainly to take care of the movie-watching psychology during the Christmas period and to win more family box office. Children's families will definitely have no chance, and even during the summer vacation, there will not be many parents taking their children to watch R-level movies. The main consideration is teenagers under the age of 17, especially families with 12-15-year-old children, when making Christmas movie-watching choices, they can say, "We want tickets for "Hangover".

Wang Yang has always thought about a question: Can the funny points of R-level comedy lines combine vulgarity and humor? Vulgarity means to come directly, saying some dirty words, including swearing, joking with half of your body, etc. However, if anyone is full of swearing in reality, no one will find it funny, and only thinks you offend others and are full of hostility; and the so-called humor means that you have to be reflected through the brain and can be savored.

If we talk about the difference, there are many slang and new words in "Juno", but when he chooses, he tends to be cute and humorous, which can be used in life; while the original "Hangover" mostly uses some explicit and indecent types, and even many characters only have "fuck", including dentists and teachers. This is probably because many lines rely on improvisation on the set.

In that movie "Hangover", only Fatty did the best in terms of character lines. Many of the inexplicable and imaginative lines conform to his weird personality; but the lines of the dentist and the teacher are not outstanding, there is no professional joke, and it does not make people think that they are dentists and teachers. These can obviously be further explored.

So for such a story, when he wrote lines and filmed on the set, he created the characters and thought about how to maximize their personality and identity, and also made everyone think together that the goal is more "humorous and vulgar" to be reminiscent, just like the original Fatty saying, "Counting cards is like masturbating on a plane, it is not illegal but not very good."

Time passed day by day, and soon it was the end of September. Wang Yang spent every day in the editing room during this period, but compared with "The Ninth District", the workload of "The Hangover" was not very large. Although its theatrical version is 120 minutes, it doesn't have to consider the arrangement of special effects shots, and the shot method he and Harry George used very casually when shooting. If you want slow motion, slow motion, and super-large close-ups are super-large close-ups... it's like a lively and exaggerated drama.

In the special effects production in the later stage of the film, some scenes are added with some setback effects, such as card counting symbols, electric shocks, etc., the drawings obtained by the image engine are also very hustle; now when it comes to editing and choreography, Wang Yang hopes to maintain this relaxed and free style, but he also strives to create a serious atmosphere.

Anyway, he and Debra Fisher cut it very quickly, and it is expected that they can complete the editing in mid-to-late October; the work carried out at the same time also included soundtracks and color tuning. The old partner David Lawrence was the old partner, and Harry George, who had been learning for a long time, was taken care of. The goal was to "make Las Vegas more textured", improve brightness, and deepen color... All work is moving forward in unison.

"Acupuncture is amazing! My head has been much better these days, and the pain has become very mild now. It's so fucking comfortable!" Ray Warner on the other side of the phone was very excited. Realizing that he had said swear words, he quickly smiled and said, "Sorry, Yang, I'm so happy, unbelievable! Why didn't anyone tell me earlier! Then I won't have to hurt for a year! Damn James!"
