Volume 2 The Heart Moves with the Circumstances Chapter 131 Surprises are continuous
Hearing Pete ask if he knew kung fu, Zhang Wei was stunned, he didn't know what Pete meant by asking, and then he thought that it might be that his character in the movie required him to know martial arts skills, so he admitted that he knew kung fu.
Pete looked pleased, turned the computer monitor on the table to the crowd, and clicked on a video, which was an edited video that covered the fight action from multiple movies and TV series. Zhang Wei noticed that most of the martial arts movements in the video are not the kind of dismantling of the board and one eye, but the kind of movements with elegance and agility, which seem to be closer to "dance" than "martial arts". However, these movements highlight a beautiful and dazzling effect, and the moves open and close, implying a majestic momentum, which seems very bold.
Seeing this video, Zhang Wei realized that the reason why Pete asked him if he knew kung fu was not because he had any martial arts moves in "Predatory City: Deadly Engine", but because he was worried that he couldn't understand what he wanted to express in this video, so he asked such a question.
After watching the video, Pete asked Zhang Wei, "Have you ever seen a kung fu style action director in this video in Huaxia?"
"Uh......" This question stunned Zhang Wei, don't look at him now, he can be regarded as a person who has acted in a movie, but he is not familiar with this circle, let alone an action director in a crew, he now knows that the action director in "Qimen II" is called Liu Xinyong, as for more action directors and action directors, he doesn't know them at all, so he naturally can't answer Pete's question, so Zhang Wei said: " To tell you the truth, I have just set foot in the actor industry, and I am not very familiar with martial arts instructors, the only ones I know are Uncle Yuan Qi and Cheng Xiaodong, and I don't know anything else. ”
Pete was a little disappointed after hearing this, and said to himself, "Is it really impossible to find such a martial arts instructor?"
Zhang Shilan also translated this sentence to Zhang Wei, and Zhang Wei asked curiously: "Mr. Pete, since you can find these movies and edit them, then you should also be able to find martial arts instructors for these films, right?"
Pete scratched his messy hair and said: "These films are edited by Mr. Yuan, Mr. Cheng, Mr. Liu and many other well-known Chinese martial arts instructors, not a single person, and what I want is not exactly Mr. Yuan's sense of pleasure of punching to the flesh, nor Mr. Cheng's majestic and beautiful feeling, in general, it is to combine them, to look very beautiful, but not lack of cool, it is best to highlight a weird and changeable, but to give people a feeling of cruel beauty." ”
Hearing Pete say this, Zhang Wei kept silent, he was not familiar with this field, just listening to Pete's requirements for action guidance, he knew that this kind of person must be difficult to find.
At this time, Zhang Shilan said to Zhang Wei: "Zhang Wei, don't you know kung fu? ”
"Forget it, I'm a well-known director, I haven't seen anything, and besides, it's not necessarily useful for me to box. ”
Zhang Shilan glared at Zhang Wei, "How do you know if you don't try, maybe your boxing can bring new inspiration to Pete?"
Zhang Wei just shook his head, he didn't like to practice boxing in front of people, which made him feel like a "showman".
Pete heard Zhang Wei and Zhang Shilan talking in Chinese, and he couldn't understand it at all, so he asked a little unhappily: "What do you two say again?"
When people asked, Zhang Wei said to Pete: "I will do a little kung fu, just now my agent wants me to show you a demonstration, because she thinks this may bring you new inspiration, maybe it will help you, do you want to take a look?"
"Oh, then trouble Mr. Zhang. Pete didn't seem very interested.
Zhang Wei looked at the environment of the office and said, "It's a little small here, can you find a more spacious place?"
"There's an event upstairs, there shouldn't be anyone now, where can we go. Although Pete didn't have high expectations for Zhang Wei, after all, Zhang Wei opened his mouth, and he couldn't refuse.
The group took the elevator to the twelfth floor, which was a semi-open-air platform similar to afternoon tea, but it was relatively empty, and there was no one now.
After coming to this platform, Zhang Wei took off his suit and let Zhang Shilan take it, ripped off his tie, unbuttoned the top of his shirt, and walked seven or eight steps away from a few people. Zhang Wei knows two kinds of kung fu, one is the "fist and foot technique" of the elf clan, and the other is the "Tai Chi" taught by Master Chen Yingquan. The former is an efficient and direct means of destroying the enemy, and there are many smart and ruthless moves, which have a very cold feeling; the latter "Taijiquan" is natural and harmonious, indisputable, with the true meaning of the Tao, and of course quite beautiful.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Wei first practiced his proficient Taijiquan, when Taijiquan practiced the routine, many moves seemed very slow, and only the action of exerting force would appear very powerful, which made people who didn't know the reason seem to look good at most, but they didn't think that this boxing method could hit people, so after Zhang Wei finished playing a set of Taijiquan, Pete and the assistant director just politely applauded, and they didn't touch it. Then, Zhang Wei began to play the "fist and foot technique" inherited by the elf clan, this fist and foot technique is neat and neat between moves, without the slightest feeling of dragging mud and water, and many of the moves are very sharp when they are shot, giving people a very lethal feeling.
Seeing Zhang Wei's fist and foot skills, Pete's eyes lit up, and when Zhang Wei finished his set of punches, Pete hurriedly ran forward and asked: "Mr. Zhang, I don't know if you can integrate some of the movements of your first punch into the second fight, and there are a few movements for you to roughly compare, you can see if you can use the fused boxing to fight the enemy, I have only one requirement, that is, to highlight the sharp, beautiful, treacherous and cool feeling, can you do it?"
Zhang Wei said: "It depends on your movements, Huaxia martial arts has always been a move, and it will not use the same means to fight the enemy many times." ”
"Jason, you go to the props and bring over a couple of weapons designed for the new movie, and that rope gun and knife must be brought over. Pete immediately explained to the assistant director, and then said to Zhang Wei: "Then I'll show you one of the actions I conceived myself, such as this." ”
As he spoke, Pete reached out and made a choke-lock movement and grabbed Zhang Wei's neck, of course, Pete didn't have a little kung fu on him, and this choke could not pose any threat to Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei remembered the request mentioned by Pete just now, using Tai Chi boxing "lazy tie clothes" to slightly avoid Pete's throat, the action was elegant and chic, when this style was halfway completed, Zhang Wei suddenly changed his move, and used a "rattan entanglement" in the "fist and foot technique" to accompany Taijiquan's "silk winding" plus the word "picking", not only attached to Pete's arm, but also buckled his hand on Pete's shoulder, clamping his entire right arm, making him unable to move.
This is just a gesture, Zhang Wei naturally can't use force, otherwise with this hand, Zhang Wei can abolish Pete's right arm.
was controlled by Zhang Wei and couldn't move his right arm, Pete looked very happy, and praised Zhang Wei again and again for being very beautiful. Then he used several attack methods in a row, all of which were broken by Zhang Wei with exaggerated movements one by one, and each time he could control Pete in turn, especially in some actions, Zhang Wei completely adopted the "Tai Chi" style of play, so that Pete's attack was invisibly comfortable, and there was a feeling of being mired in the quagmire all around, and he really felt the magic of Zhang Wei's kung fu, which was the first time he saw the strangeness of real kung fu, and he couldn't help shouting "magic".
After a few tricks with Pete, the two stopped and rested, Pete didn't have the slightest kung fu foundation at all, Zhang Wei and his tricks were like playing with a child.
"Huhuhu, it's enjoyable, it's curious, but your kung fu seems to be completely different from Bruce Lee's kung fu, his kung fu is very fast, very aggressive, and this kind of kung fu is like a person falling into water, you can feel the pressure from all sides, you can't use your strength at all, this is the first time I've seen this kind of kung fu. Pete gasped and gave Zhang Wei a thumbs up.
Soon, Jason came over with a bearded old man and four "weapons", including a strangely shaped knife, a club, a fork, and a pair of lassoes. The bearded man whispered something in Pete's ear, then Pete nodded, but said nothing. Skinny bent his head, so he asked Jason to hold different weapons and confront Zhang Wei according to his own action requirements, and then told Zhang Wei that he wanted him to use kung fu to defuse the effect of the weapon attack, and the two practiced "fighting the enemy" according to Pete's requirements.
Just now, Pete and Zhang Wei did it themselves, and they couldn't watch Zhang Wei's hands-on process, but at this moment, standing on the sidelines and watching, they naturally saw Zhang Wei's figure and the whole process of shooting, and their eyes became brighter and brighter, with a faint hint of joy in their eyes.
After the two finished the exercise, Pete said directly to Zhang Wei: "Mr. Zhang, after seeing your skills, I am very happy, I think your skills fully meet my requirements, I wonder if you are interested in serving as an action director in my new movie "Predatory City"?"
"Huh?" Zhang Wei didn't expect Pete to make such an invitation, and then looked at Zhang Shilan, who was acting as a translator, at this moment the chick was nodding violently, and the symbol of "$$" was faintly visible in her eyes, Zhang Wei pursed his lips and agreed to Pete's invitation.
Seeing Zhang Wei agree, Zhang Shilan on the side said: "Mr. Pitt, if Zhang Wei is allowed to be the action director of this film, we had better sign a contract, and we need to discuss whether Zhang Wei is responsible for all the action direction independently, and how to calculate such a salary, which needs to be negotiated." ”
"Of course, but Ms. Zhang, don't worry, let me introduce you to this gentleman, his name is Williams, he is the music director of my last film, he heard that Mr. Zhang, the author of the three songs "I Wish to Be the Wind", "The Battle of the Deer" and "Moon Sacrifice", has arrived, it is very similar to asking Mr. Zhang to comment on the two tunes they have composed, if he recognizes Mr. Zhang Wei's talent, he will suggest that Mr. Zhang Wei be one of the music producers of the movie "Plundering the City", please ask Mr. Zhang Wei if he is interested in this?" Pete delivered another unexpected surprise.
