"Let me introduce to you first, this is Mr. Xu Xiaoming, who is also the director of "Huo Yuanjia", "Chen Zhen", and "Kapok Robe". ”

Wow!

The first person caused the audience to exclaim, "Kapok Robe" may not have been seen, but the first two parts are "ten thousand empty alleys". Xu Xiaoming is in his thirties, in the prime of life, and he has such a momentum, but his Mandarin is not good.

"This is Mr. Xu's apprentice, Lin Di'an. This is an actor from our mainland, starring Yu Rongguang in "Kapok Robe". ”

Lin Dian is very skinny and looks good. Yu Rongguang is very familiar with it, this product is no different from old when it is young - it is very old.

"This is Mr. Yuen Cheung-yan, a famous martial arts instructor in Hong Kong, and this is his younger brother Yuen Richu. ”

There were five people in total, and they were seated in turn.

This form of face-to-face chat is very fresh, except for Xu Xiaoming, who is uncomfortable on stage, because he is a technician, he has never been taken seriously, and he is interviewed on stage like a big star.

"Are you all coming to the mainland for the first time?"

"I'm not, they are. Xu Xiaoming said.

"What is your impression of the capital?"

"Uh......"

The opening conversation lasted a few minutes, and it was all about personal information. Xu Fei frowned, listened patiently for a while, and before he got into the topic, he asked quietly: "Who wrote the manuscript?"

"Liu Di, he did it. Li Mu said.

it!

He saw that the stage had already gone to the feelings of his family and country, and couldn't help but say: "This won't work, and the museum will be closed for a while." ”

Li Mu also felt outrageous, and it was not Ling Feng's kind of interview, you talked about your childhood as a hammer, so she turned his head and whispered to the deputy director, "Off topic, we need technical experience, what can this exchange?"

"Is there a way?"

"Let Xu Fei go up. ”

The deputy director waved his hand, Li Muchong made a gesture from above, and pointed to the side again.

The host is a person from Jingtai, and he reacted very quickly, and said with a smile: "Through the interview just now, I also have a preliminary understanding of several people. Next, I would like to invite Xu Fei from the Art Center to come to the stage and communicate with you. ”

She sweated and shifted her position.

Hong Kong friends are still strange, why do you talk about changing the host? No way, inexperienced, I haven't done it before.

And Xu Fei came up, sat down generously, and opened his mouth: "As we all know, Hong Kong's film and television industry is very prosperous, and martial arts films or kung fu films are extremely popular, which also gave birth to an exclusive industry that only we have, martial arts." ”

He turned to Yuan Xiangren and said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Yuan, as far as I know, Hong Kong film martial arts should start with your father, Mr. Yuan Xiaotian, can you tell us more about it?"

"Uh, okay. ”

Yuan Xiangren was also stunned just now, but now he has found the right way, his accent has a bit of Cantonese, but it is more standard than Xu Xiaoming.

"I didn't dare to do it at first, but my father was indeed the first batch of martial artists. He was a native of Beijing, first sang Peking Opera, and in the thirties, at the invitation of Mr. Xue Juexian, he went to Cantonese opera to work as a martial artist, and later moved to Hong Kong.

The early Hong Kong films were very dramatic, basically a copy of Cantonese opera, and my father naturally entered the film industry. As a stand-in, as an actor, and as an action designer.

Later, more and more martial artists and Lingren entered Hong Kong, bringing different styles with them, including the Southern School of Kung Fu and the Northern School of Kung Fu. Because kung fu movies are very popular and more and more are being filmed, these people also have a place to play.

At first, it was very non-standardized, I remember that it seemed to be 64 years, Wang Tianlin had a film "Iron Arm King Kong", my father himself brought the team into the group, which was the first martial arts team in Hong Kong.

Since then, it has slowly become a unique industry, and now it is very mature, with the family class, the Hong family class, the Liu family class, and our Yuan family class. ”

In other words, martial arts was born out of opera. The martial arts instructor may be a person, but the industry is like the previous troupe, with singing faces, old students, and clowns, each performing his own duties. ”

"Yes, yes. ”

Yuan Xiangren was very pleasant, the other party understood, and the questions were all on point, "It's very complicated to make a martial arts film, so we need a lot of manpower in martial arts."

For example, if you do a good flip, that's good, if you want it, you will be responsible for the flip, and you will have a shot after all. For example, you are a must......"

"Weiya is a hanging wire, and "Journey to the West" is flying around, all of which are hanging wires. Xu Fei explained to the following.

"Yes, your flying movements are more beautiful than others, then you are responsible for hanging Weiya. You have rough skin and thick flesh, so well, you are responsible for being beaten. Or if you're thin and small, that's what you want, you can be a stand-in for a female star......"

"Andy has done it, you see his eyebrows are clear, and he looks like it. Xu Xiaoming patted Lin Di'an.

"My father did it too!" said Yuan Xiangren with a smile

"Then I definitely can't, I can't be a female star with my figure. Yu Rongguang said.

"Hahaha!"

There was music on and off the stage, the atmosphere was instantly relaxed, and the conversation was also up.

The audience suddenly realized, Kou Zhan's eyes lit up when he heard it, it turned out that this was called martial arts!

Xu Fei continued, asking: "Several people must have seen "Shaolin Temple", what do you think of the action design in it?"

“......”

The question was a little sensitive, several people glanced at each other, and Xu Xiaoming said: "Very good, traditional style, some like Shaw Brothers' martial arts films, more realistic." ”

"It's just that you punch over, I dodge it, and I kick you again, one move and one style are very logical. Xu Fei said.

We call it a hard bridge and a hard horse, and there is a saying in Nanquan that 'you can play steadily and steadily only if you practice hard bridge and hard horse'. In the movie, it means very realistic. ”

"So Liu Jiaban admires this style, and they learn Nanquan. ”

"Yes, yes. ”

Xu Xiaoming was quite surprised, this pretty boy knows it very well!

"How do you feel that the action design of Hong Kong movies is different from before?"

"How do you say that word, oh, keep up with the times!"

Xu Xiaoming said: "The movie genre is constantly enriching, and martial arts must also keep up." used to be popular with Shaw Brothers' kind of one-board and one-eye, but later Cheng Long's films became popular, and the style changed, combining juggling and martial arts. Later, there were zombie films, and the style changed, how to fight zombie films, is to reach out and point, and a light passes.

Last year, there was a film called "A Chinese Ghost Story", which talked about demons and monsters. Demons and monsters are all flying in the sky, and they definitely can't be the same as people, so they are very elegant.

There was a Taoist priest named Yan Chixia inside, and he made flying swords. Who has ever seen such a thing as a flying sword, think about it on your own.

This style is more suitable for actors who don't understand martial arts, he can't be a hard bridge and a hard horse, he can only be elegant. Of course, it also has to be good-looking, you can't just raise your hand and fly the sword to pass, and then the person is motionless, you at least pose for it...... So Yan Chixia is very good. ”

"Haha, Yuan is back!" Yu Rongguang laughed.

"Director Xu, Director Cheng, don't be surprised, it's not about you. ”

Xu Xiaoming knew that they couldn't see it, but he also arched his hand funny, this is Hong Kong's entertainment habits.

Xu Fei saw that the topic was discussed, so he asked: "Mainland TV dramas have just started for ten years, and they are immature in all aspects. If we're going to make a kung fu movie, or train a martial arts instructor, what advice do you have?"

"Well, the styles of the two places are different, and I don't know about mainland film and television dramas, so I'll talk about my opinion. ”

Yuan Xiangren thought for a while and said: "I said earlier that making a martial arts film is very complicated, what is the complexity? You have to first determine its background and style, is it an ancient drama, a Republic of China drama, or a modern drama? Is it a little more real, a little fancy, or a little more elegant?

Then look at the actors and design the actions according to the characters.

The dashing sword, the reckless sword, the monk stick, the assassin the hidden weapon...... Especially if the actor knows kung fu, he must give full play to his personal characteristics, Liang Xiaolong's legs are good, and there are many kicking movements in "Chen Zhen". ”

"And with the help of props. ”

Xu Xiaoming said: "Props can make the action ingenious, the action of "Chen Zhen" was designed by me and Liang Xiaolong, and he had a small fight with Ah Xin. Big fights are different from small fights, big fights should be intense, and small fights should be exquisite.

I asked Ah Xin to take an umbrella, and there was a cart and a junior brother at that time.

Ah Xin fights with an umbrella, the design is a little girly, and the action is delicate. Chen Zhen was teasing her, it meant juggling, blocking that junior brother and hitting him all over, so that the effect came out.

If you really want to ask how to design the action, this is too complicated, there are no shortcuts, and you need to accumulate slowly. ”

"I think imagination is also very important, just like the fight between Liang Xiaolong and Teacher Yuan......"

Xu Fei rushed to the audience and said with a smile: "Chen Zhen saved Huo Dongjue and fought with the rivers and lakes Baye, didn't you recognize it? ”

Wow!

"It's him? Not at all. ”

"I thought it was an old lady pretending. ”

There is a lot of discussion below, and the audience this year is not forgetful at all. The shape of the rivers and lakes is white, with a white face, wearing a white hair cover, and black clothes, just like Han Lao Mo.

"That's the case, please show me it. ”

Yuan Xiangren got up to invite, his fists poked out, Xu Fei stood opposite, grabbed his fists and wrestled with him.

At that time, Yuan Xiangren suddenly stretched out two more hands from both sides of his abdomen and beat Chen Zhen violently, which made the audience very impressed.

"Hachino has a bit of ninjutsu, so it has to be weird. This is very simple, Chen Zhen grabbed the fake arm, I hid my hand in my clothes, and suddenly stretched out, which caused the feeling of two more hands. ”

"This is also because I have good directing skills, and I don't wear goofs. ”

Xu Xiaoming smiled and added: "Actually, there is another point they haven't talked about, and they are not afraid of death." ”

"What do you say?" asked Xu Fei.

"Because if you want to support your family with this, you have to fight for your life. For example, if you shoot a shot of falling down from a height, you are afraid to jump, and you will not be used in the future. If someone dares to jump, then he will come out.

We usually wait in line with ten martial artists, the first person is broken, the second one is connected, the ambulance is just outside the set, and if it is broken, it goes straight to the hospital......"

This remark caused another burst of exclamation, and I didn't understand it at all.

Xu Fei knew in his heart that there were deeper factors that he didn't say. The first is that the boss only recognizes the benefits and does not give guarantees; the second is that Hong Kong films pay too much attention to visual impact.

The more dangerous the shot, the more exciting it is, and the more exciting it is, the more the audience loves to watch it, so each team tries every means to break through the upper limit, and it almost kills people directly.

Like in "Ghost Fighting", Sammo Hung invented a new way to play.

A stand-in was beaten and flew backwards, hanging a tightrope, Sammo Hung directly cut the wire, and the stand-in fell directly into the air.

The effect was there, and the person fell half to death.

(And ...... ）
