Umyalelo
Uhlaka lwefilimu oluvundlile olungu-16:9, ukuthwebula kwezakhiwo zasebukhosini ezinkulu ngokwedlulele emhlabeni wezinganekwane zaphezulu zaseMpumalanga, ngolimi lwesinema lwezinganekwane ze-wuxia zase-Hong Kong zama-1980s + imiphumela yesimanje ye-VFX yesinema enokubukeka kwangempela. Ikhamera imi emngceleni ophakathi kwehholo elikhulu lesigodlo saphezulu esisezulwini nechibi lamanzi eliyisibuko, ukuphakama kwamehlo omuntu cishe kungu-1.4 m, ilensi engu-35mm, ibheke ngqo iphinde ibheke phezulu kancane, akukhona ukuthwebula kwasemoyeni.
Ngakwesokunxele nangaphezulu kwengaphambili kucindezela udonga olukhulu ngokungavamile lwendlu olwenziwe nge-jade emhlophe, izinsika ezibaziweyo ze-jade ezikhuphukela esibhakabhakeni, uphahla olusindayo olunezendlalelo eziningi, ama-dougong kanye nohlaka lwemishayo. Kubonakala ingxenye kuphela yesakhiwo; iziqongo zezinsika nemiphetho yophahla zisikwa wuhlaka, kugcizelelwa ubukhulu obungaphezu kwesilinganiso. Izinto zokwakha ziwubukhazikhazi obunobungcweti obuphezulu: i-jade yaphezulu enombala wendlovu omhlophe, epholishiwe kakhulu futhi ebushelelezi; uphahla olunzima lwe-glaze olumnyama ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka; izinsika ezijulile ezibomvu ezine-varnish yasebukhosini; ukhuni olujulile olunamafutha; kanye nenani elincane lokucwebezela kwegolide nezithombe eziqoshiwe ezinembile zamadragoni namafu amahle.
Maphakathi kukhona ichibi lamanzi eliyisibuko elibanzi kakhulu elisezulwini. Amanzi acwebile futhi azolile, abonisa isibhakabhaka, izigodlo nabantu. Abesifazane ababili abadala abangonkulunkulukazi baseMpumalanga, abagqoke izingubo ezinde eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka okuphaphathekile nezipinki ezifana nombala we-apricot, bahlezi ekugcineni kwechibi, besetshenziswa kuphela ukubonisa isikali.
Ngale kwechibi lesibuko kunolwandle olukhulu lwamafu amhlophe acwebile. Umoya osondelene nekhamera ucace ngokwedlulele, kanti kude kunamafu ambalwa amakhulu anezinhlangothi ezibonakalayo. Kude kakhulu ngemuva kukhona umbusi omkhulu wokuqala: isigodlo esikhulu saphezulu esilingana nentaba. Nakuba sikude ngamakhilomitha ambalwa, sisalokhu sikhulu ngokungavamile, sibanzi kakhulu ngokuvundlile, futhi sinesisekelo esisindayo. Sakhiwe ngomzimba wesigodlo ophakathi nendawo ojulile ompunga ngokuluhlaza, uphahla olunzima olumnyama ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, imigqa yezinsika ezibomvu ngokumnyama, uhlaka lwemishayo olwenziwe ngokhuni olujulile, kanye nesisekelo se-jade emhlophe efudumele. Ngenxa yokujula komoya, indawo ekude iba phaphathekile kancane futhi itshekela kancane kokumpunga okuluhlaza, kodwa kufanele igcine ukujula kombala ophakathi nendawo; ibe mnyama ngokusobala kunolwandle lwamafu futhi ingaphenduki mhlophe.
Ngemuva kwesigodlo esikhulu saphezulu kuvela futhi udonga olukhulu kakhulu lwasendulo lwaphezulu / udonga olungcwele lombuso wezulu, olukhulu ngesikali esiphakeme nakakhulu. Lwenziwe nge-jade empunga-njengeparele emhlophe kanye nempunga eluhlaza ephaphathekile, lukhuphukela ngqo esibhakabhakeni, futhi lukhulu kakhulu kunesigodlo esingaphambili, kwakheka ukukhula kwesikali ngamazinga amathathu: “isigodlo esikhulu sesivele silingana nentaba, kodwa udonga lwaphezulu lukhulu nakakhulu.”
Ukwakheka kukonke: ingxenye yesigodlo esikhulu eseduze → ichibi lamanzi eliyisibuko → abantu abancane kakhulu → isikhala esingenalutho solwandle lwamafu → isigodlo esikhulu saphezulu esimnyama → udonga olukhulu kakhulu lwaphezulu → isibhakabhaka esiluhlaza.
Ukukhanya kube ukukhanya kwelanga okunamandla nokuqondisayo endaweni ephakeme ecacile + ukukhanya okugcwalisa okuvela esibhakabhakeni esibandayo esiluhlaza nesicacile. Isithombe sonke sibe nokukhanya okuphezulu, sikhanye futhi sicace, izindawo ezikhanyayo zingachichimi, izithunzi zingabi mnyama okufile. Imibala ibe mnandi futhi ibe nokuphikisana: isibhakabhaka esiluhlaza + i-jade emhlophe yendlovu + okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka okumnyama nokujulile + obomvu obujulile + inani elincane legolide elifudumele + imibala eluhlaza ephaphathekile ne-apricot ethambile yabantu. Kwenqatshelwe ukuba konke kube mhlophe, konke kube yigolide, kube nokutsheka kombala okuluhlaza okufanayo, inkungu empunga, indawo ekude encishiswe kakhulu, indawo ekude ephendulwe mhlophe, abantu abakhulu kakhulu, izinto ezibukeka njengepulasitiki, noma umuzwa womdwebo womqondo womdlalo wevidiyo.
