Chapter 861 961. Kung Fu Fever
Originally, in many people's impression, Chinese martial arts are all the same as those in a certain temple, which are basically somersaults and jumps, or the use of swords, guns, sticks and clubs in a fancy and dazzling way.
But at this time, Nie Wei, in the fine snow, showed another kind of beauty of kung fu.
Even if he just stood there, the master's demeanor of Nie Wei gave all the audience a huge visual impact.
The confidence of Nie Wei infected everyone at the scene. Even if he didn't move, the audience felt that Nie Wei would be amazing if he didn't move.
And as Nie Wei started the starting posture and officially practiced Baguazhang, this feeling became stronger.
Seeing himself in the movie, Nie Wei also admired Wang Jiawei's editing ability from the heart. This is really a director who is very good at digging out details. His eyes can always see things that ordinary people can't see.
For example, the vibration force caused by Nie Wei every time he exerted force, the human eye could not see this subtle and high amplitude vibration, but Wang Jiawei really discovered it by watching the video footage shot on the scene.
Accompanied by the exclamations on the scene, in the close-up shot on the screen, the moment Nie Wei hit out with one palm, the snowflakes on his sleeves flew away like fireworks in an instant.
This scene simply overturned the scientific concept of everyone present. It is very difficult to shake off the snowflakes on the body. People living in Kyoto basically know how difficult it is to shake off the snowflakes on the body. Moreover, Nie Wei’s palm just now was not able to shake it off at all, but in the slow motion, everyone could see with the naked eye that the snowflakes did scatter like fireworks at the moment Nie Wei hit out with his palm.
Soon with the second close-up shot, everyone saw it more clearly. These snowflakes were not thrown out at all, but seemed to be shaken by something and bounced off Nie Wei’s body!
"This is a special effect, this must be a special effect?" Someone immediately found the reason he thought.
"But the images and objects are very real, they don't look like special effects." Someone else expressed a different opinion.
Originally, it was just a scene interspersed in the memories, and Nie Wei didn't even have a line from beginning to end, but it caused the biggest hot discussion at the scene since the movie was played.
In the past, in order to show the power of fist and foot kung fu, Hong Kong and Taiwan kung fu movies would also apply some lime powder on sleeves or shoes, so that when fighting, there would be a feeling of flying smoke and dust, as if these moves were very powerful.
But today, there is no lime powder on Nie Wei's hands and feet, and there is real snow in the sky. Obviously, it is not a special effect. In the snow, Nie Wei's Bagua Palm is even more amazing than the special effects.
Especially at the last moment, after Nie Wei finished his move, he raised his hand slightly to catch a snowflake with his fingertips, and then handed it to the young Gong Baotian beside him. When the young Gong Baotian watched the snowflakes that did not melt on Nie Wei's fingertips gradually melt in his palm, this scene really showed that the character's style was perfect, giving everyone at the scene a feeling that this is a real peerless master.
"Master Yang's bird-proof skill, our master's snow-proof skill, these kung fu skills, when practiced to a high level, mostly have the same goal, and the key is to be vigorous..." Gong Baotian also described the kung fu that Nie Wei had just displayed in a paragraph after recalling.
Of course, this is just a name that Wang Jiawei gave after discovering this detail of Nie Wei. Of course, the effect is very good, and the power of Baguazhang is fully displayed to the audience.
When the movie was over, the reporters still had a question in their minds, that is, is the so-called snow-proof skill a special effect, or is it really done by Nie Wei himself?
"There is no special effect, it is really done by Nie Wei himself." Facing the reporter's question, Wang Jiawei answered very affirmatively.
"You may not know that Nie Wei is not only an excellent actor, but his achievements in Chinese martial arts are no less brilliant than his other aspects. At midnight tonight, we will release a documentary called "The Road to Grandmaster" for free on the Stars Video website. This documentary not only records the Chinese martial arts masters we interviewed when filming the movie, but you can also see Nie Wei's growth along the way."
"I believe that after watching this documentary, you should understand that some things are not special effects, but are truly derived from human abilities. Our country has real kung fu."
The reporters used recording pens, laptops and other equipment to record Wang Jiawei's words and save them as the focus of today's report.
Although everyone has always known that Nie Wei's martial arts skills are good, this has been shown in the costume films he has filmed.
But after watching today's "The Grandmaster", everyone suddenly discovered that Nie Wei's achievements in martial arts are far beyond everyone's imagination.
If it is true as Wang Jiawei said, then wouldn't Nie Wei's achievements in martial arts be that of a contemporary grandmaster?
Wang Jiawei's words just now also made reporters more curious about what role Nie Wei played in the documentary called "The Road to Grandmaster" and what kind of growth he achieved?
As the on-site reporters sent a quick report to the online social platform, the content of these reports soon attracted the attention of netizens.
"Isn't it a legend that the bird does not fly? What is the nonsense of clothes not getting wet with snow?"
"Look, I can do it too." There is also a video behind the comment, in which a netizen is shaking a piece of clothes in the snow and yelling that clothes are not getting wet with snow. Of course, the replies below this layer are all "idiots" who are trying to make a name for themselves.
"That kind of big director can't lie, right? And didn't they say there was a documentary to prove it?"
"Our Nie Wei must have real kung fu. There's no need for any proof. I'm sure and certain that this is true."
"I hate these media the most. They always exaggerate. According to science, this is impossible. Anyway, I don't believe it. I don't believe it no matter what you say."
When something goes beyond the cognition of ordinary people, the first thought is often to question it, just like some people said that in the 100-meter sprint, 9.70 seconds is the peak that humans can never surpass, but in the end, countless excellent sprinters slapped these people in the face.
And these people still don't remember, and said that 9.60 seconds is the peak that humans can never surpass in the 100-meter sprint.
This time, these people thought that they would not be slapped in the face again because they had improved by 0.1 seconds. However, the fact proved that what they said was bullshit. At the 2009 Berlin Track and Field World Championships, Bolt used a world record of 9.58 seconds, telling these people that everything is possible.
Now the documentary "The Road to Grandmaster" is the best proof of Nie Wei's real kung fu.
It not only records the process of Wang Jiawei's discussion of martial arts with martial arts masters, but also records the whole process of learning and exchanging with Nie Wei. Whether it is real kung fu, as long as people with a certain rational judgment have watched the documentary, they can basically confirm it.
Wang Jiawei said that at the press conference, on the one hand to prove Nie Wei's strength, on the other hand, naturally he also hopes to warm up the movie.
Releasing documentaries is originally a means to attract fans to the cinema.
But he didn't expect that the effect was so good. Almost 0.1 was uploaded, and within five minutes, the click-through rate of this documentary exceeded one million, and within half an hour, it directly exceeded ten million.
Although the click-through rate dropped slightly afterwards, it still successfully exceeded one hundred million within 24 hours.
This is due to the platform. After all, Fanxing Video is the largest video website at present. Backed by Fanxing Weibo, it has a huge user base. Netizens who are recommended on social platforms can easily find this video to watch.
On the other hand, it comes from Nie Wei's extremely high popularity.
As one of the recognized superstars in China, Nie Wei has shown many of his excellent sides. In addition to being an actor, he is also a singer, lyricist, composer, screenwriter, director, and even a calligrapher.
And this time, Nie Wei showed a side of himself that was unknown to the public, especially the talent that the public originally thought was just superior to others, but unexpectedly it was several levels higher than others, which attracted more attention.
In addition, Kung Fu has always been a very attractive word for the Chinese people. The convergence of various elements has caused the popularity of this documentary.
When everyone watched the documentary and marveled at Nie Wei's Kung Fu skills, they couldn't help but become curious about the movie, and even ordered movie tickets online.
In just one day, the expected increase in the box office of "The Grandmaster" exceeded 20 million, which made Wang Jiawei very happy.
You should know that before this, "The Grandmaster" had opened the pre-sale channel for a week, but the pre-sale box office was just over 10 million. Now, in just one day, the pre-sale box office has increased by 20 million, more than double the previous week.
Even if Wang Jiawei is indifferent to the box office results, he can't help but be happy about such a good result, and even happily ate an extra bowl of porridge for breakfast the next day.
Of course, Nie Wei himself also became popular because of this.
Netizens sighed that Nie Wei's martial arts level was so high.
There are even people who directly leave messages under Nie Wei's Weibo asking for apprenticeship, and there are still many such people. The comments under Nie Wei's recent Weibo quickly exceeded one million after this topic broke out, and most of them were such people.
Of course, these are just icing on the cake for Nie Wei. His popularity in China has almost reached the level of being known to everyone. This matter is nothing more than adding another brilliant halo to his legendary life.
However, because of this topic, martial arts schools teaching Baguazhang in various places really have to thank Nie Wei from the bottom of their hearts.
Since the documentary "The Road to Grandmaster" became popular, Baguazhang has become the most popular martial arts at the moment, and martial arts schools teaching Baguazhang have also gone from being deserted to being crowded.
There are even martial arts schools that originally had only seven or eight apprentices, but they received hundreds of apprentices in one day, and instantly turned from an unknown small martial arts school into one of the best martial arts schools in the local area, which made a lot of Taekwondo and Sanda martial arts schools dumbfounded.
Of course, these are nothing. The biggest change is still Cheng Zimo's family.
You must know that in the Road to Grandmaster, the person most respected by Nie Wei is Grandpa Cheng, and Cheng Zimo is also Nie Wei's personal bodyguard and disciple, which makes this family of children even more legendary.
For a while, the small county town suddenly welcomed many tourists, and the only purpose of these tourists was to visit Grandpa Cheng and hope to become his disciple.
After all, Nie Wei admired this old man so much, and many people thought that only by worshipping such a great master and following him could one learn real kung fu.
At first, Mr. Cheng was also confused by the sudden appearance of tourists who came to his house to learn from him. It was only after he called Cheng Zimo that he understood the whole story.
For this matter, Nie Wei specially called Grandpa Cheng, and the conversation lasted for more than two hours.
On the phone, Nie Wei clearly expressed that he hoped that the old man could come out. After all, this opportunity is really rare for traditional martial arts. Because of the real kung fu shown by Nie Wei, the public began to accept the practical ability of Chinese martial arts. We should also make efforts to preserve more of the inheritance of Chinese martial arts.
After listening to Nie Wei's idea, Grandpa Cheng was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't resist the children's eagerness to try, so he agreed.
Then Nie Wei and Grandpa Cheng also made a simple agreement on the phone. He funded himself, and Grandpa Cheng became famous. He established a large martial arts hall in Kyoto to teach Baguazhang. Of course, the person responsible for the actual teaching would definitely not be Grandpa Cheng. After all, he was too old, and even some movements were beyond his ability.
The martial arts teachers are naturally Cheng Zimo's brothers. They have been taught by Grandpa Cheng since they were young. They are very good at Baguazhang, and the eldest brother has experience teaching the other brothers, so they are the most suitable to be the instructors of the martial arts school.
When Cheng Zimo's brothers knew about this, they were very happy.
They wanted to leave this small county and see the colorful world outside. What's more, they went to Kyoto this time, and Nie Wei and his brother took care of them. They were full of confidence.
The rest was to prepare for Nie Wei's news. As long as the hardware of the martial arts school was ready in Kyoto, they would take office immediately.
This martial arts fever came suddenly and was very hot.
During this period, Nie Wei received the most calls from the martial arts association, and they kept thanking Nie Wei.
Many seniors who Nie Wei met when he accompanied Wang Jiawei on the "Grandmaster's Road" also called. In addition to expressing their gratitude, they also encouraged Nie Wei to promote more similar things and help the traditional Chinese martial arts.
Nie Wei naturally nodded in response to this, and Nie Wei felt that he had no choice but to do so.
However, after that press conference, Nie Wei had new troubles. I don't know what Miss Zhang did wrong. Since she talked a few words at that press conference, she has called Nie Wei two or three times during this period, nominally wanting to treat Nie Wei to a simple meal.
