The first special of the movie ＂Embroidery Spring Knife＂, Zhang Zhen said with a smile that Jinyi Wei is like a chengguan
Directed by outstanding young director Lu Yang, the romantic martial arts masterpiece will be released nationwide in August. The film has not been released due to the collection of Zhang Zhen, Liu Shishi, Wang Qianyuan, Li Dongxue, Nie Yuan, Zhu Dan, Zhou Yiwei, Jin Shijie, Ye Qing and many other stars. Recently, the film’s first production special "Hard Journey" has been exposed, revealing the film’s laborious shooting process and excellent production. Director Lu Yang revealed that the film "Embroidery Spring Blade" has more than 5,000 shots, which is nearly double that of ordinary action movies. Regarding the group of Jinyiwei that is focused on in the film, the actors all gave their own opinions. Zhang Zhen laughed and said that Jinyiwei is very similar to chengguan.
"Embroidered Sword of Spring" tells a story about the Jinyiwei. In the first production special, "Hard Journey," a large number of action scenes of the three Jinyiwei brothers played by Zhang Zhen, Wang Qianyuan and Li Dongxue were exposed, including their galloping horses in the night rain and the passage of being surrounded and killed. In particular, the handsome and cool looks of the three brothers are worthy of the title "Jinyiwei Tiantuan" given to them by fans.
Zhang Zhen, Wang Qianyuan and Li Dongxue each offered their own views on the mysterious group of Jinyiwei that is the focus of the film. Wang Qianyuan thinks they are "people from the Public Security Bureau," Zhang Zhen laughs and says they look like "chengguan," while Li Dongxue believes that Jinyiwei belong to civil servants and evaluates them as a group of people with chivalrous spirit.
In the director Lu Yang’s opinion, "Embroidery Blade of Spring" is not a traditional martial arts film. It has many romantic elements. Liu Shishi’s line "If it wasn’t for me, you might not be what you are today" exposed in the special edition has opened a corner of this romance.
The entire cast and crew worked hard for this hard-earned production. It is reported that the filming schedule of the film is only about 70 days, which is very tight. During the filming period, it is also in time for the rainy season, and everyone can only wait when it rains most of the time. Li Dongxue, the lead actor, said that many of the fights are arranged at night, "It is necessary to fight very excitedly or in groups." Zhang Zhen, the lead actor who has played a lot in the film, said: "I will shoot a fight in three or five days, and the physical expenditure is relatively large. I rely on the time before the shooting to do exercise." Due to the fact that the filming was in July, the hottest month in Beijing, and the "struggle" with the weather was particularly difficult, the star Wang Qianyuan "complained": "Wear very thick clothes, and wear a raincoat inside, maybe you will faint." The director Lu Yang made a simple statistic: "Action movies that are more complicated will have 3,000 shots, but our movie currently has more than 5,000 shots." The star Liu Shishi also said: "Every scene is a heavy scene."
In addition to the three brothers, Nie Yuan, Zhu Dan and Zhou Yiwei, who played the villains in the movie "Embroidery Spring Sword," also appeared in the production special. Everyone recommended the film to the audience. Zhou Yiwei said, "I believe this film will be a work that will make everyone feel amazing." Zhang Zhen considered it the most interesting movie he made in 2013.
