In addition to recruiting a large number of non-professional actors, the film also used a large number of extras. The last big scene was the decisive battle between "Shaolin Soccer" and "Devil Team". This 20-minute scene was filmed for a whole month. The shooting location was Zhuhai Stadium, which can accommodate more than 40,000 spectators. If you want to hire extras to fill these more than 40,000 seats, the cost of extras alone is estimated to bankrupt the film company in one month. If you use the computer stunts to make the Colosseum in "Gladiator", the cost will also be Not cheap. After thinking about it for a long time, the film company decided to make good use of Stephen Chow’s branding effect. They advertised, welcoming Zhuhai residents to enter the filming site for free. At the same time, they held lottery games every day. Winners could take photos with Stephen Chow. The result Every day, two to three thousand viewers who want to take photos with Stephen Chow come to support. Although two to three thousand people are sitting in the stadium that can accommodate 40,000 people, there is still some space, but the production team can use computer stunts to make the stadium full, and this alone saves the crew a lot of money

Tell me about some of the most impressive things. ❶King Kong legs looked at the shoes through the window and was chased away by the manager. The manager wiped the glass of the shoe-shine shop with his sleeve, reminding me of Grandma Liu in "A Dream of Red Mansions" who drank a sip of tea from the cup of Shuicui'an, Miaoyu quickly let the next person Bury that cup. ❷ When the Shaolin team first appeared on the stage, King Kong Leg said, "Isn't the audience sweeping the floor? Thank you very much", which reminded me of the line in "The King of Comedy", "Be spiritual, extras are also actors". ❸ The fourth senior brother put on his sunglasses when he came off the stage, "I'm sorry everyone. I'll go first." King Kong replied, "You are just a human being, and your spirit will always be with us." At that moment, I thought of Bruce Lee. ❹King Kong legs took Ah Mei into the high-end shopping mall to look at the clothes, which reminded me of the episode in "Modern Times" where Chaplin took his girlfriend to the store. The dreams and aspirations of the same people at the bottom, there may be a lot of special tenderness here. Xing Ye's film language has always been solid and inspirational, and the connotation of the film has always been heartbreaking. So, laugh a lot so you don't get seen that life is hard.
