9. No action movie with no glory
"Of course I did, but what if I did? Some of the actions they designed didn't meet the requirements of the actors at all, and many of the actions were difficult for the actors to complete. Cheng Guochao said helplessly.
Xu Shi said: "Don't you have a stand-in?
Cheng Guochao said: "Brother, why do you think you can use a stand-in to solve it? Yes, we can indeed use a stand-in, but the stand-in is not omnipotent, it is impossible to use a stand-in in many scenes, and the requirements for the stand-in are also very high, okay, if the audience can see that something is wrong at a glance, then we might as well not use it." ”
Xu Shi nodded, he didn't understand it well, but it didn't matter, anyway, he was just curious.
When the sun overhead was not so hot, the crew started work again.
The first scene of the afternoon was the martial arts scene, which was left over from the morning, giving the actors some time to ponder, and now it is time to start filming again.
This scene is in the restaurant, the foursome are eating in the restaurant, Jiang Yue saw that Xiao Er was busy, so he went to the shopkeeper to get the wine.
At this moment, a table of guests finished eating and checking out and was about to leave, and the route to leave happened to pass behind Shen Tianqi.
When the guests at this table passed by Shen Tianqi's side, they instantly took out their weapons from their arms and behind their backs, and killed Shen Tianqi and the three of them, one of them directly took out a dagger and stabbed Shen Tianqi in the back.
The next moment, Shen Tianqi turned around suddenly, grabbed with his right hand and was ready to grab the killer's wrist.
"Click!"
At this tense time, director Cheng Guochao shouted, in fact, all the actors had stopped before he shouted, there was no way, Shen Tianqi grabbed the dagger directly.
Fortunately, these daggers are specially made and have no lethality, if it is true, Shen Tianqi's hand is estimated to be finished.
And not only that, Shen Tianqi used too much force when he turned around, and his whole body was also unstable, and at the same time, the tables and chairs shook.
Cheng Guochao seemed to have been prepared, and instead of shouting angrily, he shouted at the action director: "Lin Li, you go and demonstrate again." ”
As he shouted, a middle-aged man who looked to be nearly forty years old walked over, and the staff had restored everything to its original state.
Lin Li sat in Zhao Kai's position and motioned for the assassin to make a move.
Lin Li's demonstration was very successful, from turning, to grabbing, to pedaling on the bench, raising the figure, kicking out, these actions are smooth, and there is a sense of pleasing to the eye.
If it weren't for Lin Li's bad looks, and he was also old, such a set of actions would be absolutely handsome.
Lin Li kept talking about tricks during the demonstration, such as where to exert force, what is the best force to use, and at the same time signaled what is the best action when grabbing the wrist.
In fact, Lin Li had already said these things more than once, but Zhao Kai didn't seem to listen to them.
"I know what you're talking about, but I can't do it, you're talking lightly, it's because you've been practicing it since you were a child, but I'm not, or you can redesign a movement for me, just simple and effective." Zhao Kai said impatiently.
He has filmed this scene seven or eight times, and each time it has failed because of various small problems.
In his opinion, these problems are not his own problems at all, but there are problems with the actions designed by Lin Li, those actions seem simple, but if you don't pay attention to them, there will be problems.
Lin Li was also a little helpless about this, he had already come according to the easiest, but Zhao Kai still couldn't.
It is necessary to be handsome and simple, how can there be such a good thing.
Cheng Guochao over there also said: "Lin Li, why don't you just follow what Zhao Kai just said?" ”
Xu Shi watched from the side, and he understood in his heart at the moment why Cheng Guochao said that it was difficult to shoot.
In Xu Shi's view, the main problem is that the action director does not have any right to speak at all, even if the action is designed, it still depends on the actor whether to shoot or not.
And it can be seen that director Cheng Guochao doesn't attach too much importance to action scenes, and basically has an attitude of not being bad.
Xu Shi is also a little puzzled, it stands to reason that a director strives for perfection in the movies he shoots, no matter which aspect he is required to do his best, and judging from Cheng Guochao's shooting attitude at the beginning, why did he relax the standards when it came to action scenes?
Xu Shi has spent most of his time practicing martial arts for so many years, but he also knows a lot about the current facts, although he doesn't watch much movies and television, but it is not less, and there are many classic movies and television in this world, which are not inferior to those classics in his previous life.
Xu Shi began to carefully recall the movies and television he had watched before, it seemed that there were indeed very few action movies, and the movie and television martial arts scenes he saw in this world were a little embarrassing in his opinion.
Originally, he thought that it was because he practiced martial arts in this life, and his martial arts skills were indeed very high.
But now it doesn't seem to be the case, but the director and actors have little confidence in martial arts scenes.
Xu Shi took out his mobile phone and searched the Internet a little, and found that the action scenes in this world did not seem to have been brilliant at all.
Xu Shi's previous life had Chen Long, Li Lianjie, Hong Jinbao and other martial arts stars, which pushed action movies to a peak, although after that, as these people grew old, they couldn't fight, and there were too few martial arts actors in the new generation, which led to action movies entering a trough, but the glory of action movies brought a lot of excellent action guidance to the film and television industry in the previous life.
In particular, Chen Long's Hollywood Lifetime Achievement Award has completely made martial arts films famous abroad.
And because of the brilliance of action movies, directors and actors will not give up martial arts scenes, and even many classic Hollywood action blockbusters are designed by Huaxia's action directors, although they are a little embarrassing in the later stage, but they are much stronger than this world.
And without Chen Long's group of people in this world, action movies have never been glorious, and only a very short period of time showed some heads, but they quickly disappeared.
Because of these reasons, the directors of Huaxia now have no idea about action movies, and they do not have too high requirements for martial arts scenes, after all, the current special effects are much stronger than before, as long as you make some actions, all the special effects will be handed over to the special effects.
After reading these, Xu Shi somewhat understands why Cheng Guochao doesn't pay much attention to martial arts scenes, and there are reasons for this.
