Southern Metropolis Daily reporter Fu Yuanyuan On July 22, the comic-adapted movie "Under the Aliens" directed by Wuershan, the director of "The Investiture of the Gods Trilogy", held its premiere in Beijing, and co-organized the "Summer of Aliens" party with the movie channel. The premiere was novel in form, and the actors transformed into "aliens" of different styles that night, breaking the dimensional wall and coming to the audience. They not only interacted happily with the audience during the performance, but also shared their interpretation of the characters in the interview session, revealing to everyone how to become an "aliens" step by step.

Hu Xianxu led the team to share the behind-the-scenes story

Feng Shaofeng joked that he "didn't escape the Wuershan training camp"

At the theme party of "Under the Aliens", in order to let the audience feel the charm of the alien world, the actors took the stage to perform in character costumes to continue the story of the film. The "Alien Group" "crossed" the screen into reality and interacted enthusiastically with the audience, triggering everyone's passionate "call". Some audience members even dressed up as alien characters in the audience, making this party immersive.

As the crisp allegro sounded, "Zhang Chulan" (played by Hu Xianxu) "invited" the audience to "enter" the world of aliens with a passage of martial arts characters. The famous singer Tu Honggang and "Zhang Chulan" first sang the classic song "Chinese Kung Fu", which made the audience shout "DNA moved". The traditional martial arts displayed by "Zhang Chulan" with the song also opened the curtain for the subsequent martial arts performances. The "alien" from various camps also made stunning appearances and displayed their martial arts skills.

In the movie, Zhang Chulan, a sophomore, originally lived a peaceful campus life. As the secret that he was the heir of the peerless martial arts "Qi Body Origin" was made public, various forces launched a fierce competition around him. In the interview session of the party, various "different people" also shared their interpretations of the characters and wonderful behind-the-scenes stories with the audience. In Hu Xianxu's understanding of the role, Zhang Chulan's greatest charm is "extremely smart, extremely smooth, while adhering to his own creed and keeping his sincere part". As the actor of Zhang Chulan's grandfather Zhang Xilin, Shang Tielong said that he educated Zhang Chulan to learn to hide himself since childhood, hoping that he could live his life in peace and security, "This has nothing to do with the identity of a different person, it's just a grandfather's expectation for his grandson". The grandfather's simple love for his grandson in the film is touching, and at the party, the cordial interaction between the "grandfather and grandson" also extended this emotion outside the camera. "One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage." According to reports, in order to better show Zhang Chulan's temperament as a "hidden master", Hu Xianxu not only did a lot of fitness and body shaping, successfully lost 15 kilograms, but also learned Baguazhang, Bajiquan and other traditional Chinese martial arts from scratch.

In the movie, Feng Baobao's silent protection of Zhang Chulan for many years is touching. Li Wanda explained to the audience, "Feng Baobao is as pure and authentic as a baby." Although she is like a baby in her heart, she is a peerless master, and often suppresses the opponent with super-high force of "no moves are better than moves." In order to perform Baobao's force value, Li Wanda revealed that she needs to learn a variety of martial arts including Baguazhang, Bajiquan, Xingyiquan, Taijiquan, etc. After the "Alien Training Camp", Li Wanda also ignited her passion for traditional Chinese martial arts. After the filming, she continued to learn martial arts with Zhou Xiaofei, the martial arts instructor of the training camp, and won the first prize of Bajiquan in the 2024 Beijing Traditional Wushu Championship and the Beijing International Wushu Invitational. In addition, action director Wu Gang designed many wonderful "anti-gravity" moves for it, and Li Wanda also conducted difficult wire training, and finally presented a very comic fighting action on the big screen.

In the film, Feng Shaofeng, who plays an important role in the Quan Xing faction, also laughed and said that he could not escape Wuershan's training camp. He said that in order to play the role of "the root of trouble" Shen Chong, he learned Jeet Kune Do from scratch and watched a lot of film and television works to study "how to fight without being restricted by suits". Na Ran also practiced martial arts from scratch. In order to show the ease of the "bone scraper" Xia He's movements and body movements, she practiced 5 traditional martial arts including Baguazhang, Bajiquan, and Snake Fist in the "Alien Training Camp". The "Alien Girl Group" with high appearance and martial arts in the movie also left a deep impression on everyone. Na Ran recalled that "every girl in the camp is very tough and independent. During the hard training, everyone will cheer and support each other."

Wuershan strives to create a comic book blockbuster

The original author Mi Er said that the film was very surprising

During the sharing session, according to the main creative team, the movie version of "Under One Person" is adapted from "The Peak of Chinese Comics" "Under One Person", which has been serialized for only 8 years and has received over 30 billion hits. Wuershan expressed his admiration for the original author Mi Er on the spot. "The huge world view of supernatural powers is breathtaking, and the rich and strange character settings can be traced back to traditional Chinese culture", which deeply fascinated him. He also said that "I have always been eager to make a Chinese supernatural comic adaptation movie" and hoped to "turn the impact brought to me by "Under One Person" into a movie audio-visual experience". When talking about the difficulties of bringing comics to the big screen, Director Wuershan believes that the biggest challenge is how to retain the most essential parts of the comics within a limited time, and how to create a "comic-style" viewing experience for the audience. For this reason, the team behind the scenes has also done a lot of exploration and attempts. Wuershan shared that this film is the first time that real-life animation combined with artificial intelligence technology is applied to theatrical film production, which is also a tribute to the "Peak of Chinese Comics" by the creative team.

Mi Er, the original author, said that this way of presentation was very new and "very surprising" to him, "it can ensure both the accuracy of the performance and the visual stylization". He also shared his feelings about watching the movie. In his opinion, "the overall adaptation of the movie is very smooth, and some changes are also very exciting". In order to better present the world of superpowers, Director Wuershan had communicated with Mi Er many times before the filming of the film. Mi Er also participated in various stages of the film. He was invited by the director to participate in the initial planning meeting. He talked about many details about the original intention of creation, world view, character background, etc., and went to the "Alien Training Camp" when the actors were trying on makeup to witness the actors' hard work. In addition, Director Wuershan also arranged a role for Mi Er, and said with a smile, "I believe that after the release, which role Mi Er played will trigger widespread discussion among everyone."

The movie "Under the Alien" is directed by Wuershan, written by Wuershan, Huanghuang (Sun Jiayu), Wang Lili, Zhou Mengjie, and Hu Jia, and stars Hu Xianxu, Li Wanda, Feng Shaofeng, Qiao Zhenyu, Song Ningfeng, Naran, Narnaqian, Lan Xiya, Wu Jiakai, Xiong Wenwen, Cheng Yiji, Liu Chunyan, Sang Ping, Shang Tielong, Chen Peter, Liu Xingchen, Sui Yongliang, Han Pengyi, Feng Li and other actors, with Wang Jinsong as a special guest star.
