In addition to looking for novelties and highlights, Liu Yong pays more attention to the character setting and emotional expression.Liu Yong said that what he liked most was the brotherhood in the film.One of the male protagonists, Long Ping'an, is a corpse exorcist and a worker in feudal superstition, while the other male protagonist, Chen Xing, is a policeman who rejects feudal superstition. The two went from being at odds with each other at the beginning to cooperating with each other to investigate cases.In the end, they trust each other and depend on each other for life and death, attracting the audience's attention with the intriguing brotherhood and the different perspectives brought by different identities.In addition to the full-bodied characters of the two male protagonists, the character of Fanyi is also relatively complete. Fanyi does not have a paper personality, but is slowly formed and developed through the character's experience. After watching it, the audience will more easily understand what this character does.do.These rich characters are what impressed Liu Yong and the reason why he chose to do this project in the first place.

The production has a knack for it, and the creative team has created a polyphonic narrative of “ folklore + thriller + suspense

Liu Yong was born in Jixi, Heilongjiang in 1984. Influenced by his grandfather since he was a child, Liu Yong liked listening to storytelling and watching popular Hong Kong movies at the time.By chance, Liu Yong met Mr. Shan Ruilin, the son of Shan Tianfang, a master of storytelling, and became his disciple, which exposed him to drama creation.Since Liu Yong first joined the crew of "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" in 2013, in the past 10 years, Liu Yong has participated in the creation of the TV series "Brothers Fire" and the online drama "Hate the King is Not Like Jiang Lou"Month《, online movie》Demon Clinic《Deadly Maiden》, etc. This year, his first movie as a theatrical film producer《In the Octagon》(accumulated box office of 2.206 billion), even moreIt won both word-of-mouth and box office success.It is precisely because of his rich working experience that Liu Yong has his own unique production experience and tips.

” I must find the most suitable creative team. I will not save money on the creative team.%Liu Yong said.Regardless of the camera, makeup, lighting, and editing teams, everyone worked together to enhance the suspenseful atmosphere and tighten the screws of film quality with excellent visual presentation.For example, a man wearing a ghost mask suddenly appeared in a venue that had been closed down by the police, and a redwood coffin floated from the river in the distance, etc. to stimulate the audience's strong curiosity to decipher the mystery.Through the delivery of the main creative team, different perspectives, multiple voices, and multiple clues are brought together to integrate and superimpose a polyphonic narrative of folklore, thriller, and suspense.

Of course, you must save when you need to.According to Liu Yong, initially the scene at the beginning of the film, "The King of Corpses Revenges the Bandits," was planned to take place on a ship, but the overall budget was too large and was not suitable for the film. Therefore, after subsequent polishing and adjustments, it was changed to take place at the Corpse Inn.In order to fit the theme and atmosphere, a strange way of death was designed for each of the avenged bandits, making the mystery of the corpse exorcism and the power of the corpse king even more terrifying.

What distinguishes traditional zombie films is the powerful core that is the foundation of the film

Speaking of zombies, the ones most remembered by the public are the zombies of the Qing Dynasty in Hong Kong movies. In order to break the audience's inherent impression and make the background more folkloric in western Hunan, props such as the big bamboo hat worn by the corpse king and the copper coins wrapped around his head and face were usedThanks to the blessing, director Zhao Cong and the styling director had several rounds of communication before finally coming up with a different look that is now presented to the audience.

In addition, Liu Yong also revealed that the creative team not only worked hard on the protagonist, but also did not underestimate the supporting roles.For example, the characters and scars on the faces of the bandits who broke into the corpse-expelling inn were very time-consuming and energy-consuming, but in order to show the ferocity and brutality of the bandits, they were still retained in the end.For example, in the film, there is a sick child with white hair and eyebrows who falls at the feet of a group of cult members wearing religious robes. The contrast between red and white, as well as the strength of adults and children, further highlights the horror-like oppression of the film..

In addition to aspects such as styling and story rhythm, the core of the film is the most important thing that the creative team wants to make a stylish film.The narrative structure of “1+N” allows 《 Xiangxi Secret Case 》 to focus on the death of Long Qiye and derive many sub-plots. For example, after Long Ping'an suffered the mysterious death of his master, he was determined not to be a loser anymore., but is committed to finding the truth; Chen Xing goes from being arrogant and rude to shaking hands with Long Ping'an and making peace; Duoduo, a girl, protects her younger brother and the entire village on her own...
