The Four Heavenly Kings of Di Renjie: This is the real China blockbuster!
The masters made their debut in Guangzhou
1905 movie network news Tsui Hark’s new work premiered in two places on the 24th. Director Tsui Hark, screenwriter and producer Jialu Zhang and starring Sandra appeared in Guangzhou and Kenny Lin’s hometown of Shenyang, sharing the stories inside and outside the play with the audience. The movie-watching activities in the two cities were full of highlights. Zhang Jialu laughed and said that director Tsui Hark had a big brain hole and was "not from the earth"; Sandra personally created Shui Yue makeup for fans, and even more fancy praised Kenny Lin as "the most grounded, simple, lovely and simple actor"; Kenny Lin staged a drama of "teasing and praising each other" with his fans, and even restored Sha Tuo’s "innocent face" on the spot, which made the audience burst.
The special effects that shocked the retina in the film are impressive. The film continued to gain good reputation in Guangzhou and Shenyang, and the audience called it "the real China super blockbuster", especially the last 15 minutes of the Glaring King War, which refreshed the audience’s viewing experience and was called "the most explosive 15 minutes of this summer". In the process of screening, there have been exclamations from time to time, and many viewers have made nervous and evasive reactions with the picture. After the film was shown, some viewers said, "This is the most exciting 15 minutes in the summer of 2018!" A large number of "movie tips" have emerged. "The visual effect is too realistic and exciting, especially in the last 15 minutes. Don’t blink."
The Guangzhou media are curious about whether there is an international team involved in the production of 3D stereoscopic effects. Tsui Hark said that the 3D animation of special effects was co-operated by teams from many countries, but the 3D stereoscopic effects were completely completed by Chinese, with only a dozen teams. "In fact, in the international arena, our stereoscopic shooting effect is better, because there are more works produced than others, so we will also receive invitations from foreign teams to come to us for assistance."

At the post-screening meeting, someone asked why director Tsui Hark’s brain hole was so magical. Tsui Hark said modestly that he was "just creating normally, hoping to show good things to everyone on the big screen", but screenwriter Jialu Zhang said that the director’s brain hole was really different from ordinary people, and even laughed: "He can’t feel it himself, but when he chats with him and talks about his creation, he will feel that he is not from the earth." The words drew applause from the audience. On the same day, another Tsui Hark fan from the United States was waiting at the scene early. After the screening, he actively asked questions. His standard Mandarin surprised some people in the venue. He said that he liked the Di Renjie series very much and asked if Tsui Hark had any plans to shoot the next episode. Tsui Hark said that he was considering it, while Jialu Zhang revealed: "There will be not only the next one, but also the next ten."

In the film, Sandra plays Shui Yue, who is handsome, with silver on his forehead and nails on his eyebrows. His unique makeup attracts many fans’ praise. During the day’s activities, two Sandra fans went to the scene with the same hidden makeup in advance, which moved Sandra deeply, and then Sandra personally put up eyebrow nails for the fans, which was very loving. In the film, Kenny Lin and Sandra provoked the love line, and they also took on a lot of jokes. "Shayue CP" was very popular with the audience. When asked about the feeling of filming opposite Kenny Lin, Sandra changed the image of "hurting friends" and praised Kenny Lin: "Kenny Lin is the most grounded, simple, lovely and simple actor among the actors. I am very happy to cooperate with him."
Sandra painted Shuiyue makeup for fans.
On the same day, Kenny Lin, who was far away from Shenyang, also talked with the audience about the inside and outside of the play, with frequent jokes and lively atmosphere. Sha Tuozhong, played by Kenny Lin in the film, is a member of Dali Temple. This time, he became Di Renjie’s right-hand man. Talking about the emotional changes of the two people in the play, Kenny Lin said with a smile that "I am like a nanny in Di Renjie’s life, taking care of him every day", and bluntly said that this time Sha Tuozhong is more "skin-like" and has dared to call Di Renjie "Laodi". At the same time, he also said that there is no sense of distance with Mark Chao, "very relaxed, and these ordinary feelings can be presented in the film". When asked if he had done any homework related to "reasoning" this time, Kenny Lin laughed: "Yes, I am reasoning about when to call it a day, which is quite accurate."
