Afterwards, Wang Xiaoqiang and Wang Pengcheng visited Joy Island twice more. After some consideration, they finally decided on the cast,
On Joy Island, sixteen of Wang Xiaoqiang's women were selected, half playing male roles and half female roles. Two children were also selected, including True Person of Taiyi it was a total of nineteen people, plus Wang Xiaoqiang and Wang Pengcheng made it twenty-one,
Additionally, Wang Xiaoqiang's Patterned Beast would be featured as well, along with his four Puppets, the Dragon Serpent Great Demon, Black Demon, Ge Laoda, and Little Yin.
After finalizing the Immortal and beast actors, Wang Xiaoqiang and Wang Pengcheng went to the Armed Forces Department and military bases of the Top Ten Alliances to select minor actors for cannon fodder roles. The Alliance Hierarch personally accompanied them, claiming it was for mission execution. Those chosen for cannon fodder roles were completely in the dark, thinking it was a real mission. But even if they knew the truth, they couldn't escape.
Ultimately, Wang Pengcheng selected over ten thousand cannon fodder actors from the Top Ten Alliances based on the needs of the script,
The fates of these actors mirrored those of their characters in the script, involving injuries and death, meaning that the fight scenes in this movie were actual combat without any stunts or fakery. Injuries and bloodshed, killing and life-taking were shown in a realistic manner, depicting the harsh reality.
It is imaginable how realistic these film scenes were shot, providing an unparalleled sense of reality and enjoyment for viewers.
The script was ready, actors were in place, and the next step was filming. Normally, shooting a movie is quite straightforward, but this film's production was extremely challenging,
Primarily because in this film, without using special effects, the fights could result in injuries and death, so it couldn't be exposed to outsiders, meaning the filming had to be conducted secretly. Not a whisper could be leaked.
Also, to prevent those cannon fodder actors from deserting out of fear, Wang Xiaoqiang had to use Divine Sense to encompass them all. Upon detecting any escape, he would ruthlessly eliminate them.
The filming took nearly three months, conducted at thirteen global scenic locations. Fortunately, these locations were uninhabited regions among the world's majestic mountains and rivers,
When Immortal actors killed those cannon fodder actors, and when beasts devoured them, no one noticed. When a few hundred keen cannon fodder actors tried to flee, Wang Xiaoqiang decisively eliminated them.
In conclusion, the entire film was shot without outsiders' discovery, and by the time the filming wrapped, all the over ten thousand hired from the Top Ten Alliances were gone,
Most of them were killed by Immortal actors during the filming according to the demands of the plot, a few were eliminated for escaping, and the remaining few were also eliminated by Wang Xiaoqiang.
These people were the most vicious villains in the world, a scourge on society wherever they went, so killing them was not a loss but rather a public service.
The Top Ten Alliances never intended to have Wang Xiaoqiang return them when they lent him people; the Hierarch knew that once they were lent out, there was no expectation for their return.
After wrapping the movie, through Wang Pengcheng's meticulous editing, the final cut emerged. Throughout the filming, Wang Pengcheng's emotions remained fervent,
because this film was too incredible, with beautiful locations, stunning visuals, high actor appearances, remarkable performances, and thrilling fights being the crucial elements,
Previously, this kind of Dongfang fantasy could only be portrayed in novels because of technological limitations, which couldn't be realized in films,
because special effects looked too fake and sometimes even revealed flaws. But this movie was different; those spells were not special effect shots but genuine portrayals, such as the energies produced by spells, the Immortal Sword's radiance, and Magic Treasure's glow all presented authentically, surpassing illusionary light lamps and explosive-forged scenes in realism.
The movie was only lightly promoted in the United States with a press conference and premiere held.
Due to the absence of famous actors, these events were quiet, even met with ridicule and disdain from foreign media.
For a time, the entire United States was filled with such criticisms, summarized as: Huaxia Nation's young entrepreneur Wang Pengcheng, venturing into film production irresponsibly, creating a Dongfang fantasy blockbuster hoping to rival films like Lord of the Rings, acting beyond one's capacity without self-awareness,
The freedom of speech in American media led to even harsher comments, labeling Wang Pengcheng as a decadent aristocrat abandoning a thriving industrial business for film-making, suggesting fame could be achieved through charity, wealth could aid disaster areas, it didn't need to be burned this way.
In summary, it was mostly criticism, disdain, and even abuse.
In the past, Wang Pengcheng would have backed down under such pressure, but this time, he stood firm,
because he had immense confidence in this movie. The Immortal actors' appearances alone could mesmerize global audiences, not to mention the realistic visuals and thrilling fights,
Facing such pressure, filled with strong confidence, Wang Pengcheng released the finished film,
At the premiere, almost half of the audience fainted because it was a 3D movie, giving a sense of immersion,
The men were wowed by the Immortal Maiden's beauty, fainting during a passionate scene between Wang Xiaoqiang and his woman Abi, while over a dozen lecherous men ejaculated on the spot,
Another part of the audience fainted from fear of the Pet Beasts and Puppets, and some fainted from the realistic combat scenes, seeing the Patterned Beast inhale dozens of people into its bloody maw, and the Dragon Serpent Great Demon's tail swipe causing bodies to explode, witnessing Black Demon bulldoze through and obliterate the cannon fodder actors, hundreds turning to dust, and seeing Ge Laoda and Little Yin directly drain the blood of cannon fodder actors. Even some daring viewers were frightened, and the timid ones fainting wasn't surprising.
Incredible, incredibly sensational, beyond compare, more thrilling than Lord of the Rings and Demon Ring, more fantastical than Harry Potter, more beautiful in imagery than Avatar, more passionate than Transformers, more poignant than Titanic, more exciting than Fast and Furious. The only downside was its gore, but that's precisely because it was gory that it was stimulating.
If a movie isn't exciting, it puts people to sleep; this movie didn't put anyone to sleep but instead made them faint.
Too stimulating.
Of course, what captivated people was the high appearance of the actors, so high it made them seem like Immortal Maidens untouched by mortal smoke. A mere five-minute passionate scene immediately caused some lecherous men to ejaculate on the spot.
This was the audience reaction and evaluation after the premiere. Following the premiere, Wang Pengcheng's blockbuster "Legend of the Shu Mountain Swordsmen" took the world by storm. It then premiered globally, with the box office soaring, quickly breaking records, from five billion to eight billion, then to seventeen billion, then twenty-three billion, and finally reaching eighty-eight billion, securing the top spot in global box office rankings.
