Chapter 288: What is a classic?
There is no mercy at all, this is also the consistent style of foreigners, if it is a Chinese, it is definitely not like Barbara directly points out the biggest shortcoming of this group of actions. To be honest, this set of actions is a set of difficult shots in any movie.
However, Barbara wants classics, she said unceremoniously: "Classics can't be copied, and it can't be the same, why Bruce Lee's movies have always had a market even now, that is, Bruce Lee created a precedent for Chinese kung fu movies, and some subsequent Chinese movies, especially kung fu movies, are imitating Bruce Lee to some extent." That's what classics do, classics are meant to be imitated, not imitated, Lee, I'm disappointed in you. ”
These words suddenly made the hearts of the entire crew feel cool and cool, once Barbara is disappointed, what does it mean at such a time, Colombia will definitely not attach great importance to [Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon], relatively, in the promotion and publicity, it will not be very hard, the most direct is to say that the compensation cost of 300,000 yuan, and the bonus of 200,000 yuan, which is almost impossible to get the money in hand.
It's like seeing a boiled duck and actually saying that it can fly, this kind of grievance, this kind of discomfort, as if it means that there is a boulder in the chest and it is difficult to breathe. Almost all of them looked dejected. Especially when it comes to Yuan Heping and his group of disciples, if it is an ordinary actor and crew, then it is not a big deal, after all, this action scene has nothing to do with them.
But Yuan Heping is a martial arts instructor, and he didn't shoot action shots that satisfied Barbara, which was his responsibility. Therefore, at this time, Yuan Heping's face was gloomy and could drip water. And several of his disciples drooped their heads like defeated roosters.
But there is nothing he can do about such a thing, Barbara wants a classic, a real classic, in such a situation, although he is confident that he is the best batch of martial arts instructors in China, but. No matter what he said, he didn't dare to say that he dared to compare with Bruce Lee, that is a flying superstar who has even been enshrined on the altar, a real superstar that cannot be erased. Barbara must compare him to Bruce Lee, that is a bit embarrassing for him.
At this time, Li Yu also seemed to realize how embarrassing Yuan Heping's current situation was, but fortunately, he, the director, did not think that his action scenes could be compared with Bruce Lee, which would be very ugly.
Therefore, at this time, Li Yu broke the silence.
Embarrassed, he squeezed out a smile and said, "Barbara." You're a little embarrassed, classic, it's not as easy as you think, not everyone is Bruce Lee's, I think, this is already the best result of the martial arts instructor group, I believe the boys did their best. ”
If this set of actions can't satisfy Barbara, then at such a time, Li Yu himself can't think of what kind of shots can satisfy Barbara. He is unwilling, very unwilling. If it is said that because of such a reason, Columbia Pictures is disappointed, it will be very unfavorable to the future promotion of [Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon], he is unwilling to be one step away from success, but he fell outside the door of success.
However, at this time, although it is said that Li Yu's guilt is roaring. But he didn't have the slightest way, if it was a literary drama, he could start from the lens, lighting, and layout. Or even change the artistic conception.
Don't doubt that Li Yu has the ability to change the artistic conception of a group of shots, international directors definitely have such strength. But about kung fu, he is a little powerless, this is not his forte, Yuan Heping has no way to do it, and he naturally has no good moves.
At this moment, Barbara did not have the slightest intention of compromise, but threw out a bombshell again: "Li, do you think I am embarrassed for you, do you know that Columbia's recent production of zuò actually has two key parts, one is your [Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon], and the other is [Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon] directed by Joseph. But there is nothing to rely on, so if you want the company's key recommendation, then in such a situation, you must say that you have to come up with a convincing result. The classic Chinese kung fu scene, this is the biggest bargaining chip for you to defeat [Thunderbolt Baby] and become the focus of Columbia, do you still think I am embarrassing you this time?"
Joseph, this bastard, but, admittedly, this guy is also a capable bastard.
Even Li Yuye Valley has to admire this guy's talent. Moreover, Li Yu understands very well that the movie "Thunderbolt Baby" is actually a kung fu movie, and it is the most familiar way for Western audiences, among the three Thunderbolt Babies, one is Lucy Liu of China, although this is only Chinese, but there is also quite good Chinese kung fu.
Therefore, at this time, Li Yu also felt that he was under a lot of pressure, and at the moment, he said very decisively: "Barbara, I understand, if you give me a little time, I will definitely shoot out the Chinese kung fu that I can handle." Barbara actually understands very well that classics are hard to come by, so she didn't expect that she would be able to shoot a set of classic shots for herself after a day or two. In such a situation, Barbara also appropriately expressed a relaxed expression and said: "This, okay, Li, you have to hurry up, I can wait, but whether the guys in the company can wait, I can't say this." ”
Barbara left the filming scene, leaving behind a huge problem, and everyone was depressed, especially the young men from the martial arts instructor group, as if they had been drained of their spirits. In fact, even if it is dangerous to let them perform any stunts, as long as the protective measures are done well, there is generally no big hidden danger.
But if you ask them to innovate and shoot classic shots, come on, they even say that they don't even know what classics are, how do you let them shoot shots like this?
The only one who has a little right to speak at this moment is Yuan Heping, after all, this is a martial arts instructor who came from the eighties, and such a person always knows the situation of some movies.
Especially when it comes to kung fu movies, Yuan Heping can be said to be one of the most powerful people in Hong Kong City.
Li Yu actually only watched Yuan Heping, and stared at Yuan Heping at the moment and said: "I have paid a lot for this drama, and even my house has been mortgaged, if the filming is not ideal, then I will take my family to live in your house after the filming, otherwise you will come up with a result for me." ”
Although it is a bit of a joke to go to live in your house, but in such a situation, in fact, if you talk about it, it is also a manifestation of Li Yu's eagerness.
He really mortgaged his house, Columbia did invest 6 million, and the rest of the difference was Li Yu who tried to pull the investment or something.
Yuan Heping looked at the set, a desolate place in the distance, the Gobi Desert with the vicissitudes of time, and the Gobi Desert on the edge of the grassland, it seemed that it was a place where life was almost extinct.
Barren, desolate, with a melodious sense of history, the camel bell chimes came slowly, as if penetrating the dust of thousands of years of history.
Yuan Heping thought for a while and said: "Actually, if it's a real classic, it's not that there isn't any, in fact, many of our action shots, if you don't hang Weiya, it almost means that they can be called classics and unrepeatable shots." Think about it, if it is said that a person can only do the action in front of the camera when others hang Weiya, then it is called a classic, and it cannot be copied, it is a classic. ”
At this time, Yang Ziqiong said incomprehensibly: "Is there a big difference between hanging Weiya and not hanging Weiya?" It seems that there is no big difference in front of the camera. ”
Because Yang Ziqiong is also a martial arts actress herself, she knows a little about some things in kung fu movies, but she is an actor who knows what she doesn't do.
At that moment, Yuan Heping said with great certainty: "This is different, Hang Weiya, no matter what kind of actor goes up, the expression on his face is always a little unnatural, even if it is an actor, it is impossible This knee-jerk reaction of the human body is completely covered."
The difference is that the actor can cover up such an unnatural action even more powerfully. The same action, hanging Weiya and not hanging Weiya, in front of the camera, are two kinds of expressions, and the two are not comparable at all. But, it's a pity, a lot of actions now, can only be done by hanging Weiya, why can Bruce Lee become a kung fu superstar, that is because he is a real kung fu, when have you seen Bruce Lee in a movie where he hangs Weiya?"
This is true, Bruce Lee was able to conquer the West, in fact, it was his kind of pure real kung fu, one knife and one shot, fists to the flesh, the real classics cannot be copied, they can only be imitated.
Of course, this performance is a limit, for example, light work, flying up to the height of three or five floors at once, it must be hanging Weiya, otherwise, it will be a hell of a life.
What Yuan Heping said is real, he can swing the limit of the human body without the action shots made by Hang Weiya, which is the classic shot that Li Yu needs.
However, the same, such a shot, Yuan Heping can't do it. (To be continued!)
