Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang
Chapter 817:
In Xu Ke's many years of directorship, "technology" is not only its core, but in many cases it even surpasses the plot, becoming the most memorable and talked-about unique magic weapon for his films-no matter what type, as long as he participates Films of, are often keen to introduce new special effects technology and fully obsessed with all kinds of movie special effects.
If Xinshu Swordsman is Xu Ke's first application of special effects in such a comprehensive range, but it is not successful, then the best partner of the Queen's Secret Order is his most successful application in the entire 1980s.
After "New Shushan Swordsman", Xu Ke's obsession with screen technology continued to rise. Therefore, when he directed the new episode of "Best Partner" for the first time, he once again moved the visual effects inspired by his Western counterparts to Hong Kong, thus making " "The Queen's Secret Order" became the highest "technical content" in the entire series.
The most talked-about scene in "The Queen's Secret Order" is Xu Guanjie driving a spacecraft and Mecca through Hong Kong downtown, and even rushing into the subway, just like the super hero in a martial arts movie!
Here Xu Ke continues to use the blue scenery technology of "Shu Mountain" to "combine the real person and the street scene into one" to create a visual spectacle of actors flying in mid-air; and another action scene in which he breaks into the exhibition and steals diamonds also makes the crowd "Santa Claus" controls the aircraft to fly from the ground to the top of the New World Building, and then drives a motorcycle to volley to the top of another building. The female thief dives into the water in a spacecraft and flies into the giant shark submarine. This series of scenes are all based on computer technology. Finished under synthesis.
And all of this, Qiao Feng's special effects company contributed a lot.
As the first and only formal special effects company in Hong Kong at that time, Qiao Feng's special effects were absolutely advanced in the Hong Kong film industry. Therefore, the Queen's Secret Order caused a sensation when it was released.
The Queen’s Secret Order shows Xu Ke’s "technical control" qualities everywhere, including Xu Guanjie sneaking into the police station to steal diamonds, from jumping over protective nets with a bounce box, hiding electronic eyes in mirrored instruments, to stepping on a high-speed skateboard to escape police chase, Almost every action is inseparable from special effects.
Then Mecca used a large computer to question the suspect, and was forced to confess by a "quiz game machine". It also replaced the actors’ physical performance with advanced technology to achieve a comedy effect. As for the submarine “turned over” from the seabed to an oil tanker, it was also a toy model. The special effects created from the angle of photography all show Xu Ke's unconstrained imagination and flexible use of new technologies.
Later, "Happy Ghost Crashing Ghost", although not directed by Xu Ke, is another evolution of his "technical control" status.
Because Xu Ke's application and understanding of special effects technology are among the best in Hong Kong, he was invited to be the art producer of Happy Ghost.
At that time, Chen Jia had nothing to do. He and Xu Ke worked together to check the special effects of happy ghost catching ghosts. Therefore, the special effect level of "Happy Ghost Crashing Ghost" has been greatly improved compared with the first two works of the "Happy Ghost" series.
The most classic scene is the ending. Liang Jiahui drove the dying female ghost Zhang Manyu to reincarnate. The car even drove up to the building. Not only was it flat on the floor, it even volleyed to another building and drove underground. Full of unexpected magical effects, the audience was once again amazed by Xu Ke's imagination in the field of special effects.
In addition, "Happy Ghost Crashing Ghost" also has a lot of details in the application of special effects technology, such as footprints dancing, fetching objects from the air, flying off the building, discoloration of long skirts, football turning, etc., which are all rare creations in Hong Kong movies. The people behind these details are Xu Ke and Chen Jia.
After that, it's a Ghost Story. Needless to say, the special effects of Ghost Story are of course not to mention. Although there are not many computer special effects in it, there are still props, which are absolutely perfect.
After the three special effects films of the best partner: Queen's Secret Order, Happy Ghost Crashing Ghost and A Chinese Ghost Story, went viral, Xu Ke felt that he had already embarked on a special effects road that belongs to Hong Kong people.
He wanted to look at Hollywood again.
So he took a film of Maria invincible.
To some extent,
Of course, Maria invincible is not counted as a film directed by Xu Ke. In this film, he is also a producer.
"Invincible Maria" is a film that pays tribute to "Metropolis" (because 1988 was the 60th anniversary of "Metropolis"), so the film such as "hero party", scientist, female robot "Maria" "Etc., you can find the blueprint in "Big".
It is worth mentioning that the "Pioneer One" in "Iron" is also the first time that a giant robot appears in a Hong Kong movie. As soon as it appears, it vandalizes on the streets of Central. Electronic steel cannons can be used to destroy it. "Maria" is powerful. Infinity can fly into the sky and escape, and can even catch missiles with bare hands, which is better than "Metropolis".
When "Invincible Maria" was released, Hollywood had had the Terminator for four years.
Compared with the alloy mechanical skeleton of the mechanical killer T-800 in "The End", "Iron" still designs the robot as a heavy and slow big iron block, which is obviously backward and rough, but Xu can choose the robot as the creative theme, which will undoubtedly make Hong Kong movies more popular. Advances in technical performance.
After all, not everyone dares to be the first in the world.
However, it is a pity that Xu Ke has once again lost Maicheng.
This iron-clad invincible Maria can also be regarded as a collection of big names. The actor Cen Jianxun, the heroine Ye Qianwen, Xu Ke also played a male second, and then there are Lin Zhengying, Liang Chaowei, Qin Pei and so on.
The actors’ salary alone is four to five million, and Ye Qianwen’s maximum amount is 1.5 million, which is still a friendly price. Otherwise, if Ye Qianwen has advanced into the top-tier singer in Europe and America, it will be more than one. I can't get one and a half million.
Then, including special effects and other production costs, the total investment is nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
In the end, the final box office was only a poor seven million. This is because the investor is Princess Golden, who gave a lot of support to the theater line in the film.
Otherwise, whether the final box office can exceed 5 million is unknown.
After another big defeat, Xu Ke did not get discouraged, but continued to encourage him, so there was a Chinese Ghost Story who was preparing to shoot.
If "A Chinese Ghost Story" adds a new look to Xu Ke's technical journey, the sequel "The Way of the Human World" will inevitably reach another peak of his.
Because the special effects and story of A Chinese Ghost Story 2 are already at the pinnacle of Xu Ke, let alone Qiao Feng’s special effects company participated in the production of special effects.
Qiao Feng believes that this time in A Chinese Ghost Story 2 must be more magnificent and amazing than the original version, and it will surely make the visual pictures full of magic and strange beauty.
