Chapter 18: Can You Surprise the World?

In the filming process of movies and TV series, all film and television works involving action scenes, whether you are a two-person PK, a street melee, or a fight with thousands of troops, you need a martial arts instructor, or even a martial arts instructor team, to draw up a detailed fight plan, shooting plan, and design the corresponding actions that each actor should make!

And whenever he encounters such a shot, to a large extent, the director just puts forward his own requirements and guides the photographer to follow up the angle and lens of the capture photography.

Therefore, martial arts scenes are a very unique scene. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since it is a professional thing, it must be done by a professional person.

What's more, martial arts design and martial arts guidance are really not something you can do after practicing kung fu, what needs to be presented here is a great aesthetic component and ornamental component!

At present, the more famous martial arts fingers in China, and the teams led by them behind them, there are still a few, compared to the Chinese people love martial arts, every year a large number of martial arts and martial arts movies and TV series will be filmed in China, relying on these martial arts and martial arts teams!

Among these famous martial arts fingers, Zhao Yideng is a bit reluctant to be first-class, and the second-rate one stands at the pinnacle - considering that last time in "The Legend of the New White Lady", everyone cooperated quite happily, Li Qian also felt that although this old guy didn't talk much, he was down-to-earth in doing things, and he was a person worthy of communication and trust, so this time he had to use martial arts again, and the first thing that came to mind was him.

Of course, the so-called martial arts of "The Legend of the New White Lady", which is half immortal Taoism and half martial arts, is enough to pose a few times, and its difficulty is not on the same level as the "Huang Feihong" that is about to start filming, so Zhao Yideng did a good job of doing that, but doing this, Li Qian did not dare to be completely at ease with him, and in addition to him, he also contacted other martial arts fingers.

It's just that the first opportunity must have been given to him.

After all, Li Qian is indeed a nostalgic person.

Zhao Yideng came with two people, one was his sworn brother, named Sun Wei, and the other was his eldest disciple, named Guo Ziming.

When the two of them were introduced, Zhao Yideng said with a smile: "As soon as I heard you on the phone, I felt that this job was not easy to do and difficult, so I called my brother and my apprentice together, and now they are all able to take the team out alone to pick up the work, the ability is not bad, I will think, the three stinkers can still top Zhuge Liang! We can always satisfy your brother by doing it together!"

It's hard to say how the work can be done, at least his serious attitude has made Li Qian very happy. So, he shook hands with Sun Wei and Guo Ziming very warmly.

As soon as you get your hands on it, you know that these two have also been practiced.

Zhao Yideng is of medium stature, he has been a little fat in the past two years, slightly fat, Sun Wei is short and fat, and his appearance is not good, but at first glance, he is a gripping tiger, the chassis is particularly stable, looking at his handshake posture, Li Qian suspects that he may have practiced some horizontal kung fu, as for Guo Ziming, he looks like he can be twenty-seven or eighteen years old, taller than his master, not handsome, but quite a spirited person.

Everyone shook hands, sat down and exchanged a few words, and Zhao Yideng quickly asked Li Qian's request in detail.

Of course, Li Qian couldn't wait to get into the play quickly, so he patiently described his requirements to the three of them, and when he talked about the difficult words, he also got up to demonstrate in person.

For example, in the fight scene that impressed Li Qian the most in the original movie, that is, the fight in the restaurant, Huang Feihong held an umbrella and stopped the battle between the two sides, Li Qian even sent a long-handled umbrella in advance for their arrival. In front of them, in his office, Li Qianxin waved the umbrella in his hand - of course, the action was not a routine, but he was trying very hard to convey his ideas to them.

Zhao Yideng's brows furrowed when he heard this, although Sun Wei's expression did not change, he also looked like a falling cloud, and as for Zhao Yideng's disciple Guo Ziming, he also looked not very clear.

There's no way, the set of fighting methods Li Qian said, what requirements are elegant, good-looking, and so on, it's easy to say, but it's already difficult to make people understand it as soon as they hear it, let alone design a complete set of actions?

This thing, after all, you shoot the film, or take the original and show it to them, you're an insider, and you immediately understand this thing at a glance: Oh, that's how it is!

However, the difficulty is that in this time and space, no one has ever shot martial arts footage like this so far!

In another time and space, when it comes to martial arts scenes and martial arts instructors, it's definitely a story worth spending hours talking about.

Most of the fights that appeared in the original American blockbusters were straight and stupid, that is, you punch me, I give you a kick, and in that case, Bruce Lee's birth instantly shocked the entire world film industry, and Oriental kung fu also quickly became popular in the Western world.

Of course, at that time, they didn't care if it was out of pride, or it wasn't easy to learn at all, anyway, for many years afterward, Hollywood continued to be stupid.

But at the same time, along with the idea of modern martial arts created by Bruce Lee, a group of filmmakers in Hong Kong began to gradually break away from the martial arts model of martial arts movies produced by the old Shaw Brothers Pictures, first the Hung family class led by Sammo Hung, then Jackie Chan's family class that broke away from the Hong family class, and then Jet Li, a series of different styles but extremely wonderful martial arts styles began to be established.

Until later, after the eighties and nineties, before Hong Kong films gradually declined, Hong Kong's martial arts level was at least three or four ranks ahead of the world and Hollywood!

But later, as Hong Kong films went downhill year after year, many Hong Kong filmmakers went to Hollywood to beg for food, and American filmmakers first spent money to hire people, and at the same time continued to study and imitate, and finally it didn't take many years to learn the advanced film and television martial arts design that Hong Kong films had accumulated for 20 years. Later, it even began to be able to do it - basically, the martial arts action design in mainstream Hollywood blockbusters after the 21st century has begun to lead the world!

And in the current time and space, there is no Bruce Lee, no Sammo Hung, no Jackie Chan and Jet Li, and no Yuan Heping, in the Oriental film world, there are martial arts films that are popular in the entire Chinese-speaking cultural circle, and there is a top superstar "Guo Daxia" Guo Yulong, there is also a handsome martial arts student Zheng Zhongyuan, they each have their own martial arts paths, but the former is a martial arts school, with more help of Weiya and the dislocation of the camera to create an elegant and flexible fighting style, while the latter is somewhat similar to Jackie Chan's humorous martial arts, but it can't talk about kung fu, because in many cases, he actually relies more on solving problems with guns in the end!

As for the entire Western world, especially the Hollywood film world, I'm sorry, until the early nineties of the last century, they were still in that stupid and crude mode of bombing, or one person, one gun, two guns, bombing -- whether it was a western cowboy or an American tough guy, Hollywood filmmakers were only good at this!

Until the last few years, Li Qian began to see a little bit of oriental martial arts routines from several Chinese-American directors' films, although they were very sloppy, and they were by no means the mainstream of Hollywood, but at least, they more or less began to have a little sense of design, and they were no longer completely stupid and stunned like before!

After all, to put it bluntly, it is easy for everyone to be complacent, and the same is true for society, without the strong stimulation brought by outsiders, it is difficult to transform within itself.

Therefore, this is the case at present, whether it is the existing ready-made martial arts teams in China, whether it is Guo Yulong or Zheng Zhongyuan, their oriental style of play, or the current martial arts design of the West and Hollywood, they are all completely different directions and ideas from what Li Qian wants.

So, after Zhao Yideng and the three of them listened to Li Qian's request, they were all a little confused.

There was no way, Li Qian had no choice but to sacrifice a big killing weapon - a few draft drawings of the story version.

Li Qian drew a lot of sketches, but only seven or eight of them were drawn out, and what was drawn on them was the few actions of subduing everyone with an umbrella that he had just described.

Of course, it's been a long time, even if he liked it and remembered it profoundly, until now, all Li Qian can remember is just a scaly claw, and this draft diagram only roughly describes some of his own ideas.

Then, Zhao Yideng, Sun Wei, and Guo Ziming, in Li Qian's office, began to discuss seriously, and while talking, Zhao Yideng even pulled Sun Wei to stand up, and the two of them began to simulate the idea of cutting according to Li Qian's requirements - at most one or two moves, they soon fell into the path they had done in the past, either becoming a performative showcase, or becoming a sanda road.

Li Qian really frowned.

…………

They came over early in the morning, but until noon, they still couldn't figure out what kind of concept Li Qian wanted about the kind of martial arts design, and many times, even Li Qian pulled them by hand and taught them how to fight - but Li Qian was not good at action design!

There was no way, seeing that noon was coming, Li Qian simply stopped and invited the three of them to dinner, but Zhao Yideng politely refused, took the sketches, and said that he would go back and think about it and give a reply in a few days.

Li Qian had no choice but to send them to the elevator room in person.

It's just that seeing the elevator door closed, he couldn't help but rub his brows: it seems that it is not easy to come up with a new concept!

Zhao Yideng can't do it, it's hard to say that other martial arts fingers can do it!

Previously, he originally thought that the biggest instability of this movie was his nerve-wracking modification of the original script, but now, he suddenly felt that maybe martial arts design was more difficult!

Of course, if it is done well, maybe this new martial arts action can scare the whole world?
