Donnie Yen on the stage did not know that at this time, his master and his wife had already paved the way for his future stardom.
Southern boxing, northern kick, and Jeet Kune Do competed on the same stage, which not only boosted the atmosphere of the premiere, but also made Donnie Yen familiar with the audience. Later, representatives from major martial arts schools in Hong Kong also sent representatives to perform on stage to celebrate "Ip Man 2" ¡·The premiere ceremony can be regarded as a promotion for the upcoming fighting competition.
¡°Even if you don¡¯t watch the movie and just watch the premiere, it¡¯s still enough for the price of the movie ticket!¡±
¡°Yes, it¡¯s like a martial arts exhibition, it¡¯s so enjoyable!¡±
¡°Look, that¡¯s our Zimeridian team.¡±
The audience below is still enthusiastic. They think that the program at the premiere is definitely more than the value of the movie tickets. It is rare to see similar programs in Hong Kong, and they did not expect that Wang Xiaohu would be so well prepared.
There are Kung Fu performances, pop songs sung, and of course the main creative staff will come on stage to reveal the behind-the-scenes of the filming.
The new Seven Little Fortunes were invited to the stage again, and they talked about every detail of the filming. Schwarzenegger was particularly eye-catching when he appeared on the stage. This guy definitely appeared in the same dress as participating in the Mr. Bodybuilder competition, and his enviable display under the lights was The audience was amazed by the huge muscles.
¡°Holy crap, isn¡¯t this the arrogant foreigner in the trailer!¡±
"I didn't expect this guy to be stronger than a bear. Look at his pecs."
¡°What a pervert, this guy is the big boss in the trailer!¡±
"It will definitely be fun to fight later!"
The audience was so excited by Schwarzenegger's muscles that they couldn't wait until the movie was released to see how Brother Tiger can deal with the big guy. The main reason is that the first impression this guy gave everyone was too strong, and his muscles were unbelievably strong. people!
After Schwarzenegger finished his performance, he took the coat from the staff, put it on and chatted with Eric Tsang and Sam Dianxia.
"Hey, big man, how did you develop these muscles?" Eric Tsang said enviously while squeezing Schwarzenegger's bulging biceps.
Schwarzenegger could barely understand Cantonese, and he smiled and squeezed out a Cantonese sentence that he had practiced for a long time backstage: "Eat more, practice more."
Shen Dianxia also went over to touch her abdominal muscles. After a long time, she raised her fist and said, "I feel like I have to continue learning Wing Chun."
Zeng Zhiwei also said: "Yes, how many years will it take me to practice before I can catch up with your size."
"You have no hope in this life!" said the fat sister.
Zeng Zhiwei curled his lips, bent his right arm and squeezed out some muscles, and said smugly: "It's okay, I'll eat more and train more, big man, let's compete some other time."
Everyone laughed.
Subsequently, the main actors of "Ip Man 2" Sammo Hung, Huang Chunliang, Simon Yam, Shi Jian, Liu Jialiang and others took the stage one after another to tell the behind-the-scenes stories of filming "Ip Man 2". When Sammo Hung spoke, the audience was moved.
He said: "You may not have imagined that when we were filming the scene where I was fighting the big guy, I was beaten so hard that I went into shock. When I was fighting the last scene with Ahu, we filmed it for a whole week. It was really hard."
Brothers Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Yuen Biao are famous in the industry for not being afraid of death. In recent years, their movies have either jumped off buildings or driven away. Every time, they are thrilling. They have never faced people who broke their legs when jumping off buildings or broke their ribs while driving. If you say the word "bitter" to a reporter, how could you know that today you will be pouring out bitterness as soon as you start talking about it. Isn't it a bit too fake?
The audience didn¡¯t believe it until Wang Xiaohu hugged his wife and pulled his son onto the stage and confirmed Sammo Hung¡¯s hard work. The audience reluctantly believed it.
There is no way, these scenes are not in the trailer, who would believe that they are selling melons now.
In front of thousands of viewers, the kid Wang Jiaen showed no stage fright at all. From time to time, he would say a few words of dry humor stolen from his father, which made Eric Tsang directly give him the microphone: "Kid, I'm laid off now, you'll be the host. Bar."
The premiere continued for another half an hour in such a relaxed and hilarious atmosphere. As it approached 10:30, four people, Luo Wen, Zhen Ni, Huang Zhan, and Gu Jiahui, suddenly came on stage.
The four of them are all fierce players in the Hong Kong music scene. The first two became popular with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and their popularity soared rapidly. The latter two are the godfathers of the music scene and have jointly written many popular songs.
"Luo Wen, Zhen Ni, sing "Iron-Blooded Heart"!"
""The world is always good to you"!"
These two songs were in the top ten on the Phoenix Music Channel on-demand list. When the audience saw Luo Wen and Zhen Ni coming on the stage, they thought they were going to sing signature songs to liven up the atmosphere, and they all started booing at the top of their lungs.
"There is joy in life, but inevitably there are also tears. All of us,When we met at the foot of the Lion Rock, we finally had more laughter than sighs"
As soon as the two people started singing hand in hand, everyone was stunned. Soon someone could tell what song they were singing.
"It's "Under the Lion Rock"!"
"Yes, is it possible that the theme song of "Ip Man 2" is "Under the Lion Rock"?"
"This is too funny, a kung fu movie"
The audience of 3,500 people couldn¡¯t understand it, but Luo Wen and Jenny Yen were very aura. Andy Lau, Leslie Cheung, Weng Meiling and others came to the stage one after another to sing "Under the Lion Rock" together, and even Wang Jiaen also hummed along.
"Let go of the conflicts in each other's hearts, pursue our ideals together, and vow to follow each other in the same boat, without fear"
This song is familiar to thousands of households in Hong Kong. Children as young as eighty and as young as five or six can sing it. With the atmosphere of three generations singing at the same time on the stage, the audience also sang along. .
"We are at the same end of the world, hand in hand to smooth out the rugged terrain. We all worked hard to write the immortal famous saying "Xiangjiang."
After the song was sung, the entire audience applauded vigorously, and some even shed tears.
Yu Yongjian, who was sitting in the fourth row, sang the loudest. Even though Mr. Yu was in his sixties, he was unambiguous when he sang. From the moment the song started playing, his heart kept accelerating. , I didn¡¯t expect that Wang Xiaohu would have prepared so many steps in his original words, how could he not dare to move.
The entire premiere can be described as a gala, with exciting martial arts scenes, hit songs, and all kinds of behind-the-scenes revelations. The excitement didn¡¯t end until 11 p.m.
But the audience is even more looking forward to tonight's big dish - the screening of "Ip Man 2".
The light in the New Century Cinema dimmed, and amid a burst of exciting music, stars appeared on the screen, like a chaotic universe. Suddenly, the twinkling stars collided fiercely, and the light and darkness gradually separated and began to slow down again. The slow movement eventually forms a rotating yin-yang fish pattern, with the factory logo of "Concord International" underneath the pattern.
For more than ten years, the audience has been accustomed to the traditional Concorde factory logo. This is the first time they have encountered this kind of factory logo, because Hong Kong did not have the ability to produce this kind of animation based on the conditions at the time. This is why Wang Xiaohu worked for " It was used for the first time when "Ip Man 2" was released. The purpose is very simple. Back then, "Ip Man" represented the birth of Concordia, and now "Ip Man 2" means the international take-off of Concordia.
In order to create this factory logo, Pixar Animation Studio put down the "Transformers" animation and spent a week, combined with the special effects methods of Industrial Light and Magic, to create the current dazzling and meaningful animation pattern. During this period, the world's top special effects The masters didn't know how many brain cells were wasted, but the boss only said: "so-so."
After the factory logo flashed on the screen, a nostalgic and exciting piece of music sounded in the New Century Cinema, with a slightly lyrical meaning. The screen began to play back several clips from "Ip Man" amidst the music.
The edited clips instantly brought the audience back to the time when "Ip Man" was released eleven years ago, and they felt very satisfied with Wang Xiaohu's arrangement of the title sequence.
After all, it was a long, long time ago that "Ip Man" was released. This title, coupled with the background music called "Gathering and Dispersing", evokes the audience's memories of "Ip Man".
A long shot rendered with computer special effects slowly reveals the appearance of the rooftop of an ordinary residential house where Ip Man moved to old Hong Kong. The picture has been achromatic and deliberately aged, making the picture dark and rich in texture.
The camera is shot from bottom to top. The backlight of the old stone brick wall facing the building blocks the foreground. The brightness of the picture changes from dark to bright, highlighting a small rooftop.
The rhythm of the melodious erhu soundtrack is consistent with the movement of the camera, showing a sense of vicissitudes of life and a slightly sad color. At the same time, combined with the percussion and the sound of thunder, it makes the mood heavier and sets the tone of the entire film.
An opening special effect completely narrows the distance between the movie and the audience. The perfect combination of pictures and music digs out all the memories of the 1950s in the audience's hearts bit by bit, just like the beginning of thirty years of Old wine makes people feel warm, smell the aroma at the tip of the nose, and have endless aftertaste.
¡°Tsk, tsk, this title is very well done!¡±
In one of the VIP rooms on the second floor, three rich men, Li Ka-shing, Pao Yugang and Fok Yingdong, were sipping fragrant tea and watching with gusto.
"A-Cheng, when you see this beginning, do you think of the time when we fought so hard?" Bao Yugang said with a smile.
Li Ka-shing nodded and said yes.
At the end of the film, the first thing that came into view was a busy dock. When Li Ka-shing saw this, he patted his thigh and said, "Old Bao, isn't this your dock? When did you get together with Wang Xiaohu?"Got it? You didn't even tell us! "
??Yugang Bao said with a smile: "When I started the movie, I found out that Wang Xiaohu wanted to rent a ship and dock, so I went secretly to see if there was any chance of cooperation, and that's how it happened."
"You're not kind!" Huo Yingdong also pointed at Bao Yugang's nose and laughed.
Bao Yugang snorted: "You two also funded the Lin Zhenhui Hongquan Martial Arts School, the Southern Shaolin White Crane Clan, and the Tan Family Three Boxing Shows. How kind is that? Fortunately, I received the news in time and sponsored Wing Chun and Liu Jiayong Hong Kong Boxing Gym, otherwise we would almost lose a great advertising opportunity!"
It turns out that after the fighting competition started, Wang Xiaohu drew on the experience of his previous life and launched an investment promotion campaign for each team to be named. After all, other martial arts schools are not as wealthy as Wing Chun Sect, and the cost of participating in the fighting competition is no longer small. In this way, both It ensured that the participating teams had sufficient funds, and also took advantage of the title opportunity to auction off several sets of advertising fees, which brought a considerable amount of income to the advertising department of Phoenix TV.
"Ahem, cough, watch a movie, watch a movie, look, the British guys are on the scene, hey, it seems like an embargo, could it be the Korean War!" Li Ka-shing was immediately moved when he saw a group of police running on the pier.
Pao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were also surprised, because these people all came from that era and started making money when the Korean War broke out. They knew the ins and outs of the embargo very well.
