The filming was generally very smooth, after all, it was a martial arts film, even though Xu Laowei had high requirements for the script, but when it came to acting, the requirements were still much lower than those movies that Zhang Bufan had participated in before.

Or, this is the habit or common problem of the vast majority of filmmakers in Xiangjiang, from actors to directors, they have more casualness for performance.

It's not an exaggeration at all, just a lot of so-called improvisational performances that are now circulating on the Internet and regarded as classics are not really born when the actors have too deep understanding and excellent personal ideas about that scene, more often, it's actually because they don't remember/are too lazy to memorize lines, don't remember/are too lazy to do pre-choreographed actions, etc., and the director looks at it, hey, it's almost the same as the original set, so be it.

Don't believe it, that's really it.

Of course, such a situation has not happened in the crew of "Shendu Dragon King".

Although there is obvious selfishness in the recommendation of actors, I have to say that the "quality" of the actors recommended by Huayi Brothers is still quite good, well, or it should be said, the only one who does not pass the test was squeezed out by Zhang Bufan.

In terms of dedication, those actors really have nothing to be faulted with, even the actor Jin Fan of the stick country is the same, from the start of filming to the present, the whole process can be called a reserved industry.

In terms of acting skills, of course, it is not as good as Liang Qianmian and Liu Tianwang, but it can definitely be called acting online, especially Zhao Youting, who is the protagonist, after his deep understanding of the role in the script reading, he actually gave Xu Laowei a big surprise - his interpretation of Di Renjie is completely different from Liu Tianwang's interpretation before, but they are both good enough.

Yes, his acting skills in this movie can indeed be described as excellent.

The script with a high degree of completion, a group of actors who are dedicated and have online acting skills, is already destined to make this movie not bad.

As for the most important martial arts scenes in a martial arts movie, on the contrary, there is no need to worry about it, with Xu Laowei, plus Yuan Baye and his Yuan family class, the fighting scenes from such a lineup are only wonderful and more exciting.

However, Zhang Bufan also saw that these two "old rivers and lakes" obviously have more expectations for this movie, just like when the concept of "new martial arts" was launched, this time, the two "old rivers and lakes" obviously have some new ideas, and Di Renjie's series of movies has become their experimental field.

This kind of experiment actually began in the first part, and in that part, martial arts is no longer just fighting, but is given something more.

For example, Di Renjie's Kang Long Gong is not a simple weapon, a mechanical device is added to it, which can emit high-frequency vibrations, so as to find the weakness of the enemy's weapon and shatter it with one blow, which belongs to the category of mechanical arts.

Then there is Gu art, the kind of insect that makes people afraid of the sun after being stained, and will burn once it is exposed to the sun.

In addition, the mysterious national teacher and the treacherous ghost market have appeared illusions, medical skills, poison arts, and so on.

For that movie, some people commented that its core is actually the suspenseful reasoning that Cheng Guofu is good at, and Xu Laowei stubbornly added his own martial arts, which weakened the reasoning and suspense of this movie, making a movie uncivilized and unmartial, and it seems that neither side has done a good job.

For this evaluation, Zhang Bufan agrees with this last point, but Zhang Bufan does not agree with the previous part, he thinks that it should be the other way around, this movie is actually borrowing Di Renjie's name, crowned as a martial arts film with reasoning to solve the case, and its core is Xu Laowei's martial arts rather than Cheng Guofu's reasoning.

Facts have proved that Zhang Bufan is right.

In this part, the martial arts instructor was changed from Big Brother Hong to Yuan Baye, and he and Xu Laowei hit it off, so in this movie, it became like this, among all the people who know martial arts, except for Di Renjie, the protagonist, there is no one who fights well.

For example, Yu Chi Zhenjin played by Feng Shaofeng is good at darts, and there is a gold wire hollow ball with a rope attached, which is more powerful than ordinary flying claws, in addition, his main weapon, the Tang knife, is never good to hold in his hand, he is still bored when he is idle, and he can turn back after throwing, like a boomerang.

Another example is the villain Huo Yi played by Gao Hu, not to mention that he is proficient in Gu arts, his martial arts are also "not serious", quite relying on the dragon head crutch in his hand, the dragon's mouth at the mouth of the cane can be opened and closed, and it can easily catch people's weapons, and it can also spray poisonous smoke and shoot poisonous needles, and even in the most critical time, it can also spray a large amount of smoke as a smoke bomb to help him escape.

Then, it was Yuan Zhen Gongzi, who was poisoned by Gu and became a little dragon, and Wang Pu, the imperial doctor who was idle and bored and took the ape's hand to his arm.

By the way, there is also the king of the sea monster Kraken in "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

In short, this movie doesn't look like a serious martial arts film from any angle, and even if you change its name, you can make it a new genre movie.

"Di Renjie Xiuxian Legend of the Divine Dragon King".

See, think again, isn't it quite appropriate?

............

Their ideas are fully reflected in this fight in the Dragon King Temple.

In this scene, first a group of bandits wanted to rob Yin Ruiji, Di Renjie rushed to save people, but he couldn't beat them, and then Yuan Zhen Gongzi, who became a little dragon man, appeared on the stage and snatched Yin Ruiji from the bandits, and finally Yu Chi Zhenjin appeared with his brothers to finish.

During the whole process, even the younger brother of the gang of bandits used not a single formal weapon like a sword, but a strange weapon such as a flying wheel blade, highlighting a strange one.

Over there, Xu Laowei and Yuan Baye were personally demonstrating the content of the play to Zhao Youting, and Zhang Bufan stood far away, looking at the demonstration of the two bigwigs over there, while flipping through a small book in his hand.

This is also a magical little book, but it is not Zhang Bufan's, but Xu Laowei's - this is Xu Laowei's hand-drawn storyboard book.

Entered an unfamiliar crew, some habits still can't be changed, Zhang Bufan is a screenwriter, and he still clubs his head behind the monitor when he has nothing to do, and on the first day, he was shocked by Xu Laowei, and it was not the assistant director who stood behind him when he turned his head, but this goods.

Later, I got used to it, and I thought that this product was interested in the director, so I would chat with Zhang Bufan from time to time and mention a few words.

Later, this product not only likes to look at the monitor, but also likes to look at the storyboard in his hand, and he is generous enough, so he directly gave the magical little book to Zhang Bufan and asked him to read it slowly.

So there is the current scene.

The thing looked up and looked down again, back and forth a few times, and suddenly seemed to think of something, scratched his head, thought for a while, or leaned over.

Seeing Zhang Bufan coming, Xu Lao Wei was still a little strange, this thing likes to watch, but basically doesn't speak, unless he asks him, why is he so active today?

On the other side, Tong Liya, who was not far away, rolled her eyes, yes, here it is again, sure enough, her husband's habit of saying things when he has an idea is not divided into people, whether you are not famous like Wen Muye, or a world-renowned person like Xu Laowei, I have an idea, I have to say it!

Over there, Zhang Bufan had already come over, and said with a slightly embarrassed smile on his face: "Director Xu, do you know the 'reasoning fighting technique' and the 'blood interception'?"
