With the most popular stories in India (Mahabharata and Ramayana) and the highest investment in history, we must do our best.
A few years ago, a photo of Indian people "hanging up" a train gave us the first sense of "opening up".
Afterwards, all kinds of proofs about the Indian people's opening up have never stopped.
Let us believe that there is a magical country on this planet. The people here ignore the laws of physics, the rules of nature, and the limits of the human body . They can do some operations that make ordinary people sigh.
It may be this preconceived definition of "opening", let us attribute some of the "super moments" in Indian film and television to the category of open hanging.
Even if you haven't watched these movies, you should have seen these memes.
In all fairness, heroes such as Spider-Man, Hulk, and Captain America are more in line with the definition of open hanging.
They were all born of ordinary people, and they became extremely brave because of some chance and coincidence .
But we are willing to accept it, and think it's okay, heroes.
How come in the Indian movie, an arrow of the gods —with a human head weighing four or five pounds hanging on it — can shoot five kilometers , and no one thinks it is open.
In fact, this "opening up" is not a derogatory contempt .
The definition of opening on Baidu Encyclopedia is as follows:
Opening up, the semantics are similar to "extraordinary performance" and "extraordinary performance". It is mostly used when a person obtains a relatively amazing result, because it is incredible and people think that it was obtained through cheating.
This is a compliment to the heart!
①
Opening up is an essential skill for every Indian
Strictly speaking, Baahubali and his father, Baahubali, did not open up from beginning to end.
The two of them were originally the incarnations of gods!
With this setting in front, they can basically play whatever they want. After all, God still needs to open it? God is hanging.
The gods represented by the two Baahubali are Lord Shiva , one of the three major gods of Hinduism , and they have a lot of control.
Take the second generation of Baahubali as an example:
Lord Shiva is the god of destruction, so he is infinitely powerful and invincible, and the physical laws of this region are not in his eyes at all.
Lord Shiva is also the god of benevolence , so he is loved by the people.
Shiva is also the god of dance, and Baahubali’s habit of dancing at every turn is not only the glorious tradition of Indian movies, but also the divine nature .
Lord Shiva is the god of practice , so Baahubali has climbed a waterfall for 25 years and never gave up. This is a process of practice.
Finally, Lord Shiva is also the god of reproduction , so Baahubali can do whatever he wants, and there is no possibility that he can't.
It is a misunderstanding to say that he opened it. Baahubali is alive, what can't he do?
It is a group of supporting actors who are really opening up.
Baahubali's grandmother lifted a 7-8 jin child with one hand and floated a few miles in the river without sore hands and legs.
Baahubali's mother, carrying a half-frame arrow on her back can wash the entire palace , and there are as many arrows as there are before use, and there are a lot of them after use.
Baahubali's bodyguards are also born with supernatural powers, visually inspecting the door of a few hundred kilograms and lifting it as soon as possible , and also blocked more than a dozen people by the way.
There were even Baahubali soldiers, a few of them were bounced into the air by a tree. The formation was not messy and the posture remained unchanged .
Coupled with a dad who is as powerful as him, it can be seen that this is not an Indian version of "The Lion King + King Arthur + Hamlet + Baolian Lantern".
This is an Indian version of "Hit the Heavenly Palace".
I said, why is it so good-looking.
②
Who is it?
It's more than that.
[Bahubali King] The two movies themselves are the biggest hangs.
The total investment of the two films is about 60 million U.S. dollars (about 380 million RMB).
The average investment of 140 million yuan is already the highest level of production in India , among which [Bahubali King: Beginning] also set the record for the highest investment in Indian films (170 million yuan).
An investment of 170 million yuan is not a big deal for Chinese movies, and Chinese blockbusters have an investment of 200 million or 300 million yuan everywhere.
But I have never heard of which domestic movie is called "Chinese version [Lord of the Rings]" or "Chinese version [Troy]".
In comparison, [Bahubali King] of course opened up.
[Bahubali King: The End] After it was released in India, it quickly won the box office championship in 29 out of 30 Indian states.
Naturally, it became the best-grossing movie in Indian history.
In the world, it gained about 1.7 billion yuan in box office, and also got a high score of 8.4 in IMDB.
The most proof of the popularity of this movie is that the average movie ticket of 150 rupees (about 14 yuan) in India was fired up to 3000 rupees (about 286 yuan) on the black market.
Of course, just as there is a "divine" support behind Baahubali in the film, behind the opening of [Baahubali King], there is also workaholic S.S. Rajamuri in control of the overall situation.
Rajamuri spent nearly two years on pre-work such as scripts, costumes, and art design .
It also includes 25 artists invited to design more than 13,000 conceptual drawings.
In order to build the magnificent Baahubali Palace, Rajamuri also led the crew of the crew and became a construction team.
On an area of 800,000 square meters, 1,000 manpower was used every day to build the real palace scene in 200 days.
Since no matching weapons were found on the market, Rajamuri led people to make more than 1,000 weapons , which could not be placed in the warehouse.
When the assistant director saw it, he said that after the filming, he could take it to open a museum.
When Rajamuri did these things, he did not let the actors idle.
For example, Parabas , who plays Baahubali , was sent to the United States to visit professional wrestlers and asked him to eat, sleep, and train with others.
The subtext is that if you can't practice them like that, don't come back.
After the 85 kilograms of Parabas had returned from training to 100 kilograms, Rajamuri turned on contentedly.
The muscle effects are as follows:
For Rajamuri, the reason for such care is simple:
With the most popular stories in India (Mahabharata and Ramayana) and the highest investment in history, we must do our best.
That is, you give Rajamuri a train, and he will not give up unless he reaches 500 people.
And the so-called Indian-style "opening up" means using the existing resources to the extreme .
[King Baahubali] used the production of the scene, the shaping of the hero, the divergence of imagination, the embodiment of culture, the exquisiteness of details ...all to the maximum.
Let us feel that the original 200 million investment film can be made like this.
And those who hold the same thing and can't achieve the same effect can only comfort themselves, "He's open-minded."
As for how much effort is required to be described as "open hanging", only Indians know.
In the past two years, from [Wrestling Dad] to [Starting Line] and then to this [Baahubali King], the hanging of Indian movies will probably continue.
After all, this is the characteristic of others, and "opening up" is just the highest degree of compliment we can give.
