Chapter 212: Daily Life (1/5)
Zhang Jing is not famous now.
"The Grandmaster" will have to wait three or four years...
In fact, Cai Shaofen's fame is not very famous now, and "The Legend of Zhen Huang" has not come out yet!
Frankly speaking, Zhang Jing's ability to emerge has a certain relationship with the scarcity of kung fu stars in the circle...
When domestic kung fu films are filming action scenes, they often like to shoot a complete action clip with a long lens from a distance, and the kung fu actors who fight opponents in the camera pay attention to the effect of punching to the flesh on the screen.
Hollywood action movie directors often shoot several short shots from different angles, and then work on the editing: the simple action of showing the face is done by the actor himself, and the difficult action of not showing his face is done by the stuntman, and then the two are edited together to form a complete fight sequence.
In fact, in terms of effect, the use of editing means to use stand-ins to complete action scenes, and the fight with kung fu actors' real knives and guns is not superior or inferior.
Most viewers don't particularly care about that!
But for many veteran directors, when a really skilled kung fu actor fights against each other, he can have more creative space to shoot some long shots during the fight, and he can rest assured that the actor's face and even the entire body contour are all filmed.
Especially when shooting from a distance, a series of sparring actions completed by the entire body of a kung fu actor are completely filmed into the camera, and its shocking power is far more impactful than the action scenes spliced by editing methods!
Although the set move is a scripted move, whether the actor's move can make people feel that he is a martial arts practitioner at a glance, this is not something that can be practiced in a day or two, not to mention that kung fu actors have to do various difficult actions such as flips, flying kicks, and backflips.
Let's put it this way, the requirements for kung fu actors in domestic kung fu films will be higher, and they will prefer the fight scenes filmed with long shots, which also leads to kung fu films that can only be played by kung fu actors.
The "Grandmaster", "Slaying the Wolf", and "Ip Man" series pay attention to this!
With the advent of the traffic era, IP projects are gradually handed over to traffic, and kung fu actors rarely take the lead...
Even in Hong Kong, there are very few action movies every year.
Many promising action actors want to develop in the direction of feature films: because it is simple, and it is easier to make money!
You see, Xiang Dashao, who aspires to become a kung fu star, after acting in a big bad movie, devoted himself to the reality show career, not only making money, but also earning a wife!
The cost is not proportional to the cost!
In addition, insert a sentence: "Nine Dragons Undefeated" is a sand sculpture...
......
Lu Xiaoran and Zhang Jing met when they collaborated on "Proud Sword Jianghu" together.
"Proud Sword Jianghu", Zhou Yi drama...
Jiang Xuerou is really a talent!
"The Legend of the Spirit Mirror", "Phantom Divine Needle", "Proud Sword Jianghu", "Li Wei's Resignation", "Water Moon Cave Sky", "Li Wei as an Official", "Peacock Feather", "Love Through Time and Space", "Xiao Shiyi Lang"...
Zhou Yi's ability is here, no publicity, no hype, but the film and television dramas produced and produced are awesome one by one!
Most of them are original, even if they are not original, such as "The Young King", which is also a very novel theme.
And... The soundtrack is all good!
Longrich sang a few songs back then: 'The rain falls, let the world turn black and white, you are still as white as snow, oh... I close my eyes, I can't help but confess to myself, you are my beloved, do you understand?'
'The peak has returned, the road has turned, why bother to break the bowels, love is a dilemma that no one can solve...'
Longrich of "Xiao Shiyi Lang"... It's handsome!
But this can't change the fact that he is 17 years older than Shi Shi!
Ahem...
Back to the topic, Xiao Luzi hadn't seen Zhang Jing for four or five years, so they were very happy to see each other again.
I didn't go to the hotel, I took him directly to my home...
Zhang Jing dragged his family with him, not only he came alone, but also Cai Shaofen.
Cai Shaofen came to audition for "The Legend of Zhen Huang"...
"This is my girlfriend, Sugar Candy!"
"Brother Jing!"
"This is your sister-in-law, Cai Shaofen, you call her Sister Doudou!"
Then Tangtang chatted with Cai Shaofen...
......
Some people say that the entertainment industry is actually an amplified society, which makes sense.
Don't make a certain conclusion about it because of a certain profession, different people always have different personalities, but the entertainment industry is put in the spotlight, the bad side is more concerned by the public, and it is constantly amplified by the relevant media, a certain part of the people cannot represent everyone, in real life, it is difficult to meet a suitable person, it is even more difficult to fall in love and fit each other, and how many people have a good experience in marriage, and it is beautiful all year round?
That's right, I'm talking about Zhang Jing and Cai Shaofen...
They are a rare loving couple in the whole circle, the kind that can make people sour with a glance at each other...
But what, no matter how much affection you love, Cai Shaofen earns more than Zhang Jing, this is a fact...
Although Zhang Jing also works hard.
After arriving in Hong Kong, he also made a lot of works, but most of them were bad movies such as "Tianji", "Kung Fu Invincible", "Kung Fu Boys", and his role was a small supporting role in bad movies...
"The Grandmaster" is his chance...
Talking about his career, Lu Xiaoran proposed: "Brother Jing, you might as well come to the mainland to develop!"
Zhang Jing shook his head: "... There are too few opportunities in the mainland, are there any decent action movies in recent years?"
“... uh..."
Does "The King of Kung Fu" count?
After thinking about it, Lu Xiaoran said: "Actually, I'm going to make a few action movies to test the water!"
Zhang Jing glanced at him, and then asked, "Do you have a team?"
“... What team?"
"Do you think action movies are so easy to make? Do you have martial arts instructors? Without the support of martial arts, what kind of action movies do you make?"
"I'm going to cooperate with Wu Jing first and make a film that is more of a police and bandit type..."
"Wu Jing?"
"Don't you know him?"
"It was more than ten years ago!"
“... I'll show you the script, you see, if there is a role you want..."
"I have to go to 'The Grandmaster'..."
"Wang Jiawei makes movies... Frequent shutdowns, one stop for half a year... You definitely have time!"
Zhang Jing thought about it, and was also right...
Here, Lu Xiaoran and Zhang Jing are looking through the script of "Big Man", and Tangtang is discussing financial management with Cai Shaofen...
It's not about financial management, in fact, those actors in Hong Kong are very good at one thing: buying a house!
Cai Shaofen's reason is very simple: "Anyway, the money in the bank is also depreciated, it is better to buy a house, even if it is depreciated, it is good to leave it to the children in the future!"
“... But I don't have children yet..."
"There will always be!"
Tangtang glanced at Lu Xiaoran, who was discussing the role with Zhang Jing in the living room, and smiled: "Wait a little longer!"
