Yin Shou's ambition to further upgrade the "PUA" Senior General to fight for himself.

Da Ji experienced the transformation from bestiality to human nature. The new shape implies a change in the heart.

After witnessing the powerful power of the list of gods, the ambition of coming back from the dead in the second book of the gods is becoming more and more expansive, and he wants to dominate the list of gods and become the "common master of the world". Although Yin Shou came back from the dead, he was seriously injured and could not go to Xiqi in person. In spite of this, he made Deng Xianyu, Wen Zhong and others willingly go out to battle for him. In this regard, director Urshan shared: "in the second film, Yin Shou still maintains a high IQ and a very strong mental control." He is a highly skilled actor and is good at taking advantage of everyone's weaknesses and psychological needs to achieve his own goals. " In the special, Yin Shou deliberately exposed his "fragile" side in front of Wen Zhong, making his ears and eyes covered with his own bleeding wounds and bouts of cough and asthma. Although he showed weakness in all his moves, there was a hidden eagerness in his words, as if he wanted to continue the great business spirit. Wen Zhong, who was worried about the fate of the great merchants and the country, was again difficult to resist, so he had to go out in armour again. In response, actor Fei Xiang said: "Yin Shou knows Wen Zhong's loyalty to big businessmen and knows how to PUA him to achieve his goal."

In the process of Yin Shou's ambition becoming more and more blazing, Da Ji was not only willing to help, but also revived Yin Shou to break his tail actively, which consumed a lot of repair. As for the changes of Da Ji, the actor Na ran said: "Da Ji followed Yin Shou in the first part of the Fengshou in order to survive, and there was a more human side in the second part of the Fengshen." Different from the state that the human body has not been fully adapted to the human body and the words and deeds of Da Ji in the first part of Fengshen have not been fully adapted to the state of fox instinct, the words and deeds of Fengshen II have become more human, and the heart has gradually become complicated from the original simplicity. And this change is also reflected in her clothes. According to Ye Jintian, an art director and clothing styling director, different from the green lotus clothes worn when Yin Shou first met, "the color of Da Ji's clothes in Fengshen II began to sink gradually," from red and white to red-dominated. Character styling designer Lai Xuanwu also revealed: "if you connect the two films, you can obviously feel Da Ji's inner change from the clothing."

Immediately play double swords, hand-to-hand combat Nalnaxi 506 days of hard practice to become "Deng Xianyu"

Wu Xingguo, a master of drama with elements of Beijing Opera, designed tricks and steps for Wen Zhong.

At the call of Wang Yinshou of the Shang Dynasty, Deng Xianyu, who fought with his father Deng Jiugong and battlefield from an early age, asked to serve as the vanguard of the Yin Shang army. Having experienced many battles, she will also become a powerful opponent of Xiqi Shao Master Ji Fa this time. In the special, Deng Xianyu galloped bravely and valiantly, her hand-to-hand combat was quick and dexterous, wielding double knives simply and harshly, and her skill was shown in all her tricks. In order to shape the valiant Deng Xianyu, Nalnaxi prepared for a total of 506 days from stepping into the "God-sealed Performing Arts training Camp" to the start of the first scene, during which she went deep into various training subjects such as performance, equestrian, double swords, archery, diving, and combat. When filming officially began, she appeared as Deng Xianyu, and even Huang Bo could not help exclaiming, "this is by no means something that can be done in a short period of time. It is her persistent efforts." It's great that she can act out this kind of heroic and handsome! "

In addition to Deng Xianyu, Wen Zhong, the master of Yin Shang, also appeared in the special. As a veteran of the three dynasties, Wen Zhong was loyal to Yin Shang all his life and always regarded the rise and fall of Yin Shang as a top priority. In the special, Wen Zhong closes his forehead and middle eye, stands on the altar and performs his magic, with mysterious steps and tricks. Wu Xingguo personally designed the trick to cast a ten-point battle, the step and position of casting on the altar, or the waving of a male and female whip. As a famous master of drama and performing artist of Beijing Opera, Wu Xingguo skillfully integrates opera elements into his role, which not only makes each move full of traditional aesthetic charm, but also highlights the majesty of Wen Zhong.

In the Yin Shang camp, Vice General Tai Luan also joined Deng Xianyu in soliciting Xiqi. In the previous notice, Tai Luan's sentence "must break Xiqi" revealed its radical side, and "belligerent and murderous" is also the actor Liu Chao's understanding and interpretation of the role. Shen Gongbao, disciple of Jinao Island, will also continue to support the Yin Shang camp this time. In addition to sending crow soldiers to find the whereabouts of the list of gods, the actor Xia Yu also revealed: "this time Shen Gongbao will also seek a new magic weapon from Master Tongtian Master, which contains a very evil power."

4 hours of human special effects makeup combined with MOCO layered shooting presents a sense of giant pressure.

The four players of the Magic Family wear heavy armour and tie up sandbags with a weight of 60 jin to highlight the sense of heaviness.

In the special, the four generals of the Mojia, who are more than 12 meters tall, show a sense of pressure and deterrence, which is unforgettable. They once followed Taishi Wen Zhong and Deng Xieyu on an expedition to the North Sea, and this time they also cracked down on Xiqi with the vanguard troops. According to director Wu Ershan, the shape of the four generals of the Magic Family was inspired by the 87 Immortals Scrolls by Wu Daozi in the Tang Dynasty. In order to restore the fierce and dignified image of the four generals, the actors received full-face special effects makeup, and the crew also made a series of matching "equipment" for them, such as dentures, full-pupil contact lenses and fake leather gloves. Special effects makeup artist Jenny Li said: "not only the whole face special effects makeup, actors all exposed skin need to make fake skin, the whole body special effects make-up time more than 4 hours."

In filming, senior special effects director Douglas Hans Smith believes that "it is necessary to find a scientific way to shoot" to present the four generals of the Magic Family. In order to preserve the details and realism of the actors' performance, the crew did not choose to present it in the form of CG special effects or digital characters, but all used live action. Photography director Wang Yu said that the crew used MOCO and upgraded shooting to show the giant's posture, and filmed the four generals of the Devil Family and the normal army in different proportions. Through the accurate calculation of MOCO, the shooting of each layer can be connected and superimposed, and finally presents the real sense of existence of the giant on the battlefield. In order to reflect the heavy feeling and slow gait of the four generals, the actors not only wear heavy armour and fat jackets, but also tie sandbags on their legs, carrying a total weight of more than 60 jin.

In order to ensure that the shooting of each layer of the four players can be seamlessly connected with other layers and accurately superimposed, the crew also made a lot of efforts in props production. Wu Yibei, a visual effects producer, said: "in order to match the shooting needs of the four generals, some landscapes need to build miniature models according to scale and elaborate every detail." In the film, the cliffs passed by the four generals are accurately reproduced into miniature cliffs with 3D scanning technology, skillfully using the difference in visual proportion to create a shocking effect of "Giant Transit". The tent for Mu Liqing to rest is also made by craftsmen, and it takes an hour to install it by hand. In order to ensure the true proportion, the production team split a thread into six strands and used a thin thread with a thickness of one stroke to weave the tent. Even after the lens in the same frame with Mok Liqing has been magnified 5 times, the tent is still in line with the realistic proportional logic, showing the true texture of a huge tent that is 15 meters long and 10 meters wide. Whether it is realistic and exquisite props, or the shooting of grand scenes, they all show a very real effect in texture, bringing unprecedented visual impact to the audience and creating an immersive sense of immersion. The second part of Fengshen presents three thousand years of imagination with ingenuity and creates a fantastic and magnificent mythological epic. The Spring Festival takes the family into the cinema to watch Chinese mythology, celebrate the Chinese New year, and go to the magnificent world of Chinese mythology.
