Time Network News is directed by Wu Ershan, and the mythical epic film "Feng Shen I" starring ChristianRandPhillips, Li Xuejian, Bo Huang, Yu Shi, Chen Muchi and Na Ran is being released. A few days ago, the film’s director Wu Ershan accepted an exclusive interview with Time.com to share the behind-the-scenes story of the film.

The first part of "Feng Shen" opened the prelude of "Feng Shen Trilogy", which tells the story that Wang Yinshou, a merchant, colluded with da ji, a fox demon, and was tyrannical and heartless, causing a scourge. Jiang Ziya, the immortal of Kunlun Mountain, went down the mountain with the "list of gods" to find a common master in the world to save the whole people. Ji Fa, the son of Xibohou, gradually discovered the true colors of Yin Shou, and turned out to sing songs. The forces of all parties are surging, and the signs of changes are beginning to appear …

The story of "the list of gods" is a household name, and it is also a big IP that many domestic film and television works love very much. Wu Ershan, the director, said, "The core of the story hasn’t changed much, such as the tyranny of the Shang king, the gall of the Wen king, the digging of the heart by Bigan, and the admonition of the Queen Jiang. However, we have to do a new look at the original story from a contemporary perspective and contemporary values, and we have to reorganize his story line and the logic of the story. "

"For example, there is a very important plot in the original, which may be unknown to everyone, and that is why da ji went into the Shang Dynasty to destroy it. Because Yin Shou wrote a poem and molested Nu Wa. Many people don’t know why. What’s wrong? Is it that big? From the perspective of contemporary people, this is nothing, and it is a little bold. According to the current audience in China, this is actually a trivial matter, and it is not enough to overthrow a dynasty. Including da ji, she has been instilling many evil ideas into Yin Shou, and the setting that women are femme fatale. This is unacceptable to the contemporary audience, especially to me. It is very demeaning to women and a concept that is disrespectful to women. These things need to be adjusted and redesigned to make it more in line with our modern people’s feelings and values. "

"For example, I like the Ji Chang family in the original story very much. I like Ji Chang very much, a father who bears the burden of humiliation. But I don’t think the description of him in the original is convincing enough-why did he endure the pain to eat his son’s meat? In the original, he cheated Yin Shou, then escaped and returned to his hometown to survive. But I think this father is too cunning. We reset the logic of his doing this thing in order to protect his second son, because he has already lost a son, and he wants to protect the surviving son. He can only accept such humiliation and do what he doesn’t want to do, and then the son is determined to rescue him. He is not a sly father. "

It has been several years since the start of the project and the release of the first part of the project, so that many viewers have been worried about the fate of this project. However, Wu Ershan said that the progress of the trilogy of deities was basically within his plan. "Three continuous shooting, fairy epic, our original plan is to complete it in 8 to 10 years, because we predict that this work is very difficult. There was no epidemic at that time. We planned for 8 to 10 years at that time, and this year is the tenth year, so I think it is basically objective. "

"The longest film I shot before was" Searching for Dragons ",which took five months. But it took 18 months to make the trilogy of gods. At the peak of our crew, there were 2,800 crew members working at the scene in one day. In a year and a half, more than 8,000 staff members participated in the pre-filming of the film. "

The first part of "Feng Shen" was released smoothly, and many viewers began to care when they could see the second and third parts. Wu Ershan said that if all goes well, the latter two films will be released in the summer of 2024 and the summer of 2025. The structure of the film trilogy is basically the same as that in the mythical story of "deifying": The second part will tell the story of Ji Fa defending his homeland in Xiqi, and Xiqi, under the protection of Jiang Ziya and other Kunlun immortals, fought against the army of Yin and Shang, and defeated the Ten Commandments. The third part tells that Ji Fa ordered 800 vassals to join the Mengjin League, and began to attack. Immortals, such as Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Patriarch, all participated in the final decisive battle, and finally Ji Fa defeated Yin Shou and established the Zhou Dynasty.

This suspected monk picture spread all over the Internet yesterday.

　　Over the past few days, the news that Wang Zuxian had cut her hair as a nun has made entertainment headlines. Cha Xiaoxin confirmed the news to the media the day before yesterday, but Wang Zuxian’s friends and family members said they were unaware of the matter. On the Internet, Wang Zuxian’s fans from Canada revealed the specific address of her monk, and even called Wang Zuxian’s name "Chaoxi".

　　In an interview with the media, a well-known Hong Kong radio host, Cha Xiaoxin, confirmed the news that Wang Zuxian became a nun. She said that she heard about it from a senior and had not been in contact with Wang Zuxian. "This senior has a very good relationship with Zuxian, so I think the news should be true."

　　The person who first published the news in the Hong Kong newspaper was Du Huidong. According to the Hong Kong media, this person is a very senior film company public relations. He has been with Wang Zuxian for many years and is familiar with each other.

　　However, by the time of the press deadline, Wang Zuxian’s family in Taiwan said that they had not contacted her, so they could not confirm the news. Wang Zuxian’s godfather, veteran sports journalist Fu Daren, expressed his surprise at the news, saying that "even her father did not know". At present, the only family member who has kept in touch with Wang Zuxian is her mother. Wang’s mother told Taiwanese media through friends that she spoke to Xiao Xian on the phone a week ago, and the other party is still in good condition. She said that she knew that Xiao Xian was practicing at home, and she has not been contacted yet. Wang Zuxian’s eldest brother also said that he did not know.

　　Yesterday, many media reports mentioned that the reason for Wang Zuxian’s determination to become a monk was the marriage news between Qi Qin and Xiao Qiang, which confused Qi Qin. Yesterday, he declined many media interviews, saying only that this matter has nothing to do with the relationship between the two, and this is Wang Zuxian’s own choice. In addition, Yang Fan, the director of "Dream in the Garden" who once invited Wang Zuxian to return, also said that he had not contacted Wang Zuxian for a long time, but he said that the outside world should not be too surprised, and there is no need to use worldly ideas to measure her choice. Xu Feng, who signed a contract before Wang Zuxian quit the film industry, and Shi Nansheng, who has worked on many films in the "Ghost of a Thousand Girls" series, both said that they do not know whether the rumors are true or false, but respect her choice.

　　Once the news of Wang Zuxian becoming a monk came out, it became a hot topic on online forums. Some netizens expressed their firm disbelief in the news, and more people expressed regret for the beauty who became a monk. Some people wrote an article "From now on to the green lantern, don’t ask about the fate of this life", and many movie fans expressed their support and respect for the choice of idols.

　　In addition, some netizens revealed the "exact address of Xiaoxian’s monk": "Guanyin Temple on STEVESTON HWY in RICHMOND, the address is from the US-Canada border and travels north along Hwy 99. After passing the Massey Tunnel, choose Steveston Hwy /Exit 32 (Exit 23), turn left (west) and enter Steveston Hwy. Guanyin Temple is located on Steveston Hwy, between No. 3 and No. 4 Roads, about 30 minutes." Some netizens reported that Wang Zuxian’s name was "Chaoxi". Since the Internet Protocol Address of the netizens in the report shows that it is Canada, and the address is very detailed, many netizens believe that the news is more reliable. Reporter, Pan Yuan
