Chapter 21: The Grandmaster's Bearing
The camera is not beautiful enough, and in many places the photographer can't keep up with the actors, out of focus, blurry, and even let the actors run out of the frame, which is one of the reflections. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
If you want to shoot that kind of chic and reckless action, and shoot that kind of feeling of swaying at will, you must go through the scene again, and you must not be like other martial arts films, where you are dismantling actions at every turn, otherwise you will cut through various shots and show the power of the character through the combination of shots.
The feeling that the scene is really hitting, the real shooting, and the feeling it brings to the audience is definitely not something that can be achieved by post-editing!
And the fight must be fast, and it must be smooth!
But as long as it gets up quickly, it will put forward extremely high requirements for the photographer's photography skills and reaction speed - although it must have been communicated in advance, even if it is a choreographed action design, the photographer must have predicted all the next actions in advance, and buried the position, then it is still not good.
I am definitely not suitable to play the actor Huang Feihong in this movie, this is the second introspection!
The main reason is that the height difference!
Li Qian himself is 1.86 meters, but most of the actors who can participate in martial arts scenes at the moment, 1.75 meters must be considered tall, 1.7 meters, or even shorter, which is the normal situation - don't laugh, the more people who practice martial arts since childhood, the more their muscles and bones are polished, although they say that they are poor and rich in martial arts, people who practice martial arts are very good at eating, and they eat well, it is said that the nutrition should be quite sufficient, but no, people who practice martial arts are more still shorter.
What's more, in fact, in the current era, adult men over the age of twenty-five, one meter seven and early, are the normal height of ordinary people, but now the age group of fifteen or sixteen years old and below, with the progress of society, the dietary conditions have been greatly improved, and their height development is no longer comparable to the generation ten years ago!
Therefore, a person of 1.86 meters fights with a group of people who are up and down 1.7 meters, such as the shot just now, he quickly retreated, and used his shoulder to force the opponent to half of the knife, and directly unloaded, the idea is very good, reflected in the lens, it will also be very handsome, but he is 1.8 meters, Guo Ziming is a little more than 1.7 meters, if you look carefully at this shot, you will notice a trace of weirdness!
His shoulders were almost as high as his head!
This is just a fight scene, once there are more actors involved in the group drama, this feeling of a tall man fighting against a few short people will become more and more obvious, and it will be reflected in the camera, and it will become more and more disobedient!
Even if you can use the adjustment of the photographic angle to solve a little of this sense of disobedience through photographic skills, on the whole, this solution loses more points, which can be regarded as a solution that outweighs the loss.
Of course, the second reason is actually very important, because I am too tall, so some ground movements, maybe practiced, can also be swayed, it is still quite handsome, but when it comes to more fighting occasions, being tall has become a short board - not flexible enough!
To put it bluntly, film and television martial arts performances and real battles in reality are still two different concepts!
And in fact, if you push back what has happened in another time and space, you will also find that none of the superstars who have become stars in the end are really too tall!
Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Sammo Hung, Fan Shaohuang, Donnie Yen, Wu Jing, etc.
This is definitely not an accident, but an inevitability to adapt to the needs of the performance!
One meter eight is already the limit, and it must not be exceeded!
Between 1.65 meters and 1.75 meters, it's just right!
Short, flexible, and handsome!
If there is that kind of big-shouldered and round-waisted star, don't think about it, it must be those American-style tough guys in Hollywood movies! They are all lumpy flesh, and they look very strong!
In China, in the oriental martial arts aesthetics and individual fighting, the pursuit is not an absolute sense of strength, but more important requirements for skills, speed, and agility!
Moreover, there is another point that has to be considered, that is, the problem of matching with other actors.
If you want Jet Li to film back then, you often need to use a special camera perspective to shoot, and if it is a kiss scene, you may even need to put something under your feet, the purpose is to make him look not too short, so as not to damage the image of that hero because of his height, but now, if there is more of a figure of about 1.73 meters in a movie, then there will be a sense of disobedience when a person of 1.86 meters appears, just looking at the picture!
There is also the problem of the sense of historical age, in China a hundred years ago, the average nutritional level of the whole society was really difficult to appear a person of 1.86 meters......
Well, in the next selection of actors, this must also be a point that needs special attention, that is, the height ratio of characters in the play such as Huang Feihong and Liang Kuan should be roughly maintained at a level that is not much different.
So...... To sum up, this short test shot has gained a lot.
First, Guo Ziming is smart enough and has enough comprehension ability, and he has basically been on the road, and next, he should be trustworthy; second, before the start of filming, a certain amount of redundant time must be set aside for a certain amount of run-in between the actors and photographers; third, before the film starts, the photographers are required to exercise collectively for at least two to three weeks, because in the next shooting, the actors must climb up and down, which is very hard, and the photographer must also climb up and down to shoot, without good physical strength, it is estimated that he will not be able to survive!
…………
Although there were many problems in this test shooting, after the filming was finished and after watching the playback, Li Qian still seemed very excited - even if he didn't mention the fact that Guo Ziming began to find his feelings, it was already a very happy thing to find the next problem that was basically unavoidable in advance before the start of construction, but it had not attracted enough attention to him before.
It is better to find out early, face it early, and find a way to solve it early than to sharpen the gun when the matter comes!
After Li Qian discussed a few words with Guo Ziming, he discussed with Fu Xuelong and Song Yupin, two photographers, about the problem of burying and chasing during shooting, and also played the part just shot back and forth, and everyone discussed how to film, shoot well, and shoot beautifully in the wonderful fights of the actors during the filming process!
And Lu Lingxi and Sun Yuting were also involved at this time, everyone was professional, and soon chatted about the professionalism of how to capture the camera in the fast-moving scene, and the conversation was very happy!
Involved in this kind of professional issue, of course Guo Ziming couldn't talk, so he simply hid to the side, and after a while, he walked to the set of tables and chairs placed in the open air, and walked back and forth in a circle!
In fact, since yesterday, he has always felt that he has a fire in his heart, the feeling of "I seem to understand something" and "I am about to understand" has been burning in his mind and heart, burning him to the point that he has forgotten all about sleep, except for smacking the actions and things that Li Qian demonstrated and explained over and over again, he has almost no energy to do anything!
Then, when he finally groped and finally made up the set of sparring actions just now, especially when the three cameras were set up there, and when he brushed it, he felt as if a lightning bolt flashed in his mind - although he was not playing the chic one, when Li Qian accurately and chicly repelled his attacks again and again, when he himself ran over and saw the shots and pictures captured by the three cameras, all of a sudden, he felt that his brain really exploded!
Yes, that's it!
That's the feeling, that's the style!
So, when there was a lively discussion about how the photographer should chase the shot, he walked alone to the table of the Eight Immortals, paying attention to the starting point of the territory, walking back and forth around the table round and round, his eyes scanning back and forth between the table and the four benches, at that moment, suddenly opened his mind, surging, countless fighting actions that had been extremely skilled before, at this moment, quickly revolved around this table!
Tables, stools, possible knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, and forks!
Oh yes, and umbrellas, and fists and feet!
Countless images, countless people walking, stopping, and fighting at this table—scene after scene, this moment just flashed back in his mind!
Of course, at the beginning, their fighting movements seemed a little stiff, and there were even many old routines of hard bridges and hard horses, but soon, Guo Ziming imagined that he was fighting with people at the table at the moment, and he remembered the set of actions he had just made up, and unconsciously, he began to fight elegantly - although in this kind of action design, it must be greatly exaggerated the ability of one of the parties, and even exaggerated to the extent of distortion!
Kung fu, agility, prediction, and so on, all of which have reached an almost inhuman level!
It's not martial arts, it doesn't have those ethereal flying around, but you have to admit that it is actually the same as the fighting style of martial arts to some extent!
In other words, when in the 70s, people saw the picture of those chivalrous people flying on the big screen for the first time, and many people were shocked!
And in the same way, when have you ever seen such an incomparably fierce and incomparably real battle in martial arts movies in the past? And the key thing is that because of the action designer and the needs of the role, the combat effectiveness of one of the parties in the battle has been greatly exaggerated, which makes him beat the opponent to pieces like a hand, but it gives people a very real feeling of fighting -- oh my God! As soon as such a film comes out, this guy who played the male protagonist must not be instantly named a generation of grandmasters!
That's right, it's a generation of grandmasters!
After brushing it all of a sudden, Guo Ziming suddenly understood why Li Qian would emphasize those words again and again when he analyzed and dismantled with himself before!
To be chic, to be smooth, to have a "you are all local chickens and dogs" grandmaster bearing!
At this moment, I understand it all!
He tried to walk, a stab, a punch, a kick, a punch...... It's all too hard, and it still doesn't feel right!
Change posture, change the way, it seems that someone is slamming into one side of the body, he suddenly twisted his back, missed the imaginary person, and raised his knees, this time, it is estimated that it will hurt!
But he didn't stop, his left hand grabbed out directly, pulled back violently, and at the same time twisted his body, raised his arm on the right side of his body, and leaned directly at the opponent who would be caught!
This time, it's an imaginary backer!
Albeit...... He doesn't know how to do it!
But in the imagination, if the actor in the movie is allowed to rely on it like this, it will just be two hands, handsome and casual, but at the same time it is full of attack power!
Then, well, there's another enemy here, but at this time the table should have been knocked open by the man just now, so a space has been vacated, this time, you have to give way, but you can't expect to have the strength to rebound!
"Hey...... Guo Ziming!"
Guo Ziming was immersed in the thoughts of extreme freedom and was excited, and when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look, but it was the girl he saw when he first arrived at Li Qian's office this afternoon.
Well, it looks like a girl who can be sixteen or seventeen years old, so beautiful and delicate that it is not true.
He said that Huang Feihong is a generation of grandmasters, and he is also a Confucian hero, a famous doctor, he has a benevolent heart, not to mention that he can't do the trick you just made, even if he can, he will never use too heavy hands on ordinary enemies!"
Guo Ziming was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then turned his head to look at the group of people who were still discussing over there.
In the crowd, Li Qian happened to look over and bowed slightly at him.
Guo Ziming smiled at Li Qian, and nodded, signaling that he understood. But at the same time, he couldn't help but think, "He's chatting with people over there, and he's still paying attention to my movements!"
But thinking about it, he still reacted quickly, bowed slightly at the girl, and smiled: "Thank you, I know." At the same time, I took this opportunity to subconsciously look at her a few more times.
In fact, it's no wonder that he is so beautiful, this girl is so beautiful, and she is sixteen or seventeen years old, and she looks so eye-catching!
Of course, he knew that the relationship between this girl and Li Qian was definitely not ordinary, otherwise she would not be so comfortable sitting on the sofa in Li Qian's office reading magazines, without any restraint at all, and she also called Li Qian "Uncle Shi"! Therefore, no matter how beautiful the other party was, he just glanced at it, and then quickly looked away!
People who have been in this circle all year round often have amazing intuition - some girls, even if she is an ordinary person, but as long as she is too beautiful, it is definitely not something that you ordinary people can covet. If you don't look at it a few times, you might be able to avoid a disaster!
This is something that can be mastered naturally after being in this circle for a long time.
But at this time, the girl's face was full of curiosity, and she asked him, "Hey, are you my uncle's apprentice?"
Guo Ziming didn't expect this girl to take the initiative to talk to him, he was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he quickly smiled and said: "I want to! But I have a master, so I don't have this blessing!"
After a pause, he explained with a smile: "I didn't sign in to Minghu Culture, I just came to ask Director Li for something and learn from him!"
Then he took the opportunity to ask: "I heard you call Director Li Uncle Shi?"
The girl looked up proudly, "Well, he's my uncle!"
Guo Ziming nodded with a smile when he heard this, but did not ask any more questions.
However, the girl clearly enjoyed the look of envy that flashed across his face.
"My uncle is very powerful, right?" she said proudly.
Guo Ziming smiled and said: "That's it, look all over the world, how many sect masters can there be!" and then said: "You are his nephew, it's really enviable!"
These words simply went to the girl's heart.
So, she smiled contentedly and turned and ran back.
…………
After this discussion, it was hearty.
Especially Fu Xuelong and Song Yupin, they are really going to be photographers in the next shooting, and Li Qian is very pleased to see that they are all very rewarding and enlightened at this time.
Waiting for Fu Xuelong and the others to pack up their things, Li Qian beckoned Guo Ziming to come over, chatted a few words, and encouraged him to go back and make up a few more sets of actions, of course Guo Ziming quickly nodded and agreed.
After everyone packed up their things and walked towards the building, Li Qian said: "Don't be in a hurry to leave after work later, I'll have a treat, let's find a place to eat and chat!"
He turned his head to Guo Ziming and said, "Ziming, you can come together!"
Guo Ziming was overjoyed when he heard this, and just wanted to agree, but he heard the girl who was so beautiful that she didn't speak suddenly that she spoke, with a tone of dissatisfaction and complaint, and almost stomped her feet, "Uncle Shi, you said that you would invite me to dinner in the evening!"
Suddenly, Guo Ziming swallowed the words back into his stomach.
Li Qian didn't care, and said with a smile: "Then you can come together at night, okay?"
Guo Ziming was observing the words and expressions, and found that the girl seemed to hate Li Qian's child-like tone, and even stomped her feet angrily when she heard the words, "Uncle, you promised to invite me to dinner!"
She put the words "invite me to dinner" and bit hard.
Li Qian was a little embarrassed, his face was displeased, "Yiyi ......"
Guo Ziming hurriedly said: "Director Li, I look at this, my mind is very chaotic now, all kinds of actions are messy, in this way, you have this meal, I am not in a hurry to rub it first, you allow me to go back and think about it for two days, I think I have roughly understood your request, let me go for two days, I have to take care of it by myself!"
Li Qian hesitated for a moment when he heard this, nodded his head, and said with a smile: "It's okay!" As he spoke, he patted him on the shoulder, "Come on! This paragraph you just made up is very good! Just follow this path!"
"Okay!"
