Chapter 122: Action Design

The old cat begged for votes, hoping that everyone would support me and give me strength.

————————————

Fang Long and Peng Yichen sat and chatted on the side.

The field workers are constantly busy ahead.

The autumn wind blows, and the viscous water vapor in the air of the Xiangjiang River is very uncomfortable on the skin.

At this time, a field manager hurriedly ran over and said respectfully to Fang Long and Peng Yichen: "Brother Long, Director Wang said that after today's filming is over, he asked you and Teacher Peng to go to a meeting together, saying that they would discuss the filming of tomorrow's action scene." ”

This field is a member of the Fang family class, and Fang Long, as the martial arts instructor of this film, is indeed very attentive and brings his own Fang family class over.

Fang Long took the lead, Peng Yichen followed him closely, and the two walked into a small office behind the set one after the other.

This is the place where Wang Jiawei convened the important positions of the crew for a meeting.

The movie "A. People's Martial Arts" is a pure kung fu movie, so there are no high-flying Weiya shots, and the most exaggerated part is not in the fighting action, but in terms of destructiveness and resistance.

Even so, in order to fully express the essence and power of one move and one style in traditional national arts. Fang Long, the martial arts instructor, also racked his brains.

Nowadays, Huaxia's computer special effects have not started at all, and the shooting routines of kung fu movies in the past are no longer enough to meet the requirements of this movie.

Therefore, Fang Long actually started very early, and arranged for Fang's family class to specialize in researching a lot of props to provide special effects support for the fight scenes of this movie.

"Brother Long, Peng Sheng, you are here!" Wang Jiawei saw the two people arriving, but he stood up and walked to the door. "I'm going back to rest, you guys discuss the action scenes to be filmed tomorrow, I just hope that Xiahou Wu's first scene will be very like the sun, that is, the kind of feeling that can sunburn everyone, but it is very warm and will not really hurt you. ”

After Wang Jiawei finished speaking, he turned around and went back to rest.

Fang Long and Peng Yichen were speechless, this director is too characterful, what he said, how did he feel covered by clouds and mountains.

There is no way, Wang Jiawei is famous in the circle and has a unique personality.

He once filmed the back of an actor in the sunset, but he didn't say a word to the actor, so he let the actor figure it out by himself, and it took him a month and countless times to shoot a shot that he was satisfied with.

Now it is not easy to give Fang Long and Peng Yichen a specific request.

There was no way, Peng Yichen had no choice but to work with Fang Long and find the brothers of the Fang family class to set up tricks together.

……

On this night, Peng Yichen and Fang Long both lived on the set, and they kept exchanging questions about the design of several action scenes in the film.

Especially the finale scene: the duel action design of Xiahou Wu and Feng Yuxiu.

Fang Long grabbed the pencil and kept drawing sketches on the manuscript paper, and now the sketch is already full of dense stickman pictures, although the movements of each picture are not coherent, but people can clearly see the trajectory of the stickman's movements.

"Hey!" Fang Long threw the pencil on the table, sighed and said: "Chen Zai, I feel that my mind is chaotic, the first few action scenes are actually a panoramic display of the practice system of the national art you set, the action is single, and the destructive power does not exceed the upper limit of ordinary kung fu movies, so it is easy to design." But how should the fight scene for this duel be designed?"

Peng Yichen supported his chin with his hand, hesitated for a moment and said: "I'm also thinking about this problem, generally speaking, whether it's a real fight or a movie fight, even if the two sides are close in martial arts, they will have very subtle changes due to their respective emotions, bodies, tactics, environment and other factors, which are applied to action design, attack-defense-attack, offensive and defensive conversion, reaction after hitting a move, etc."

But this time, I added two settings of national art and practice in the film, and in the end, this fight is actually to fully demonstrate the destructive power and momentum that national art masters can achieve when they practice to a certain level. It's no longer a simple move, attacking and defending. It's more of a combination of freehand and violence. ”

"Freehand?" Fang Long frowned and asked, "What does that mean?"

"Haha. Peng Yichen said with a smile: "Brother Long, an ordinary master of dark energy, is already a great boxer and a master of transformation in the world of national arts, Director Wang and I have traveled all over China this time, and we have never seen anyone reach it." So now many realms of national art have become a kind of legend.

So how to make the audience believe that a person can really achieve the power and deterrence of the peak master of Huajin in the movie, I must use a lot of freehand things to subtly convince the audience that this is true and credible. ”

Fang Long shook his head and said, "I still don't understand, what do you mean by this freehand?"

"I'm going to talk about the action design of a few offensive and defensive combinations in the final duel, and you get the idea. Peng Yichen picked up the paper and pen and came to the table behind Fang Long, and said while drawing.

"I thought about it specifically, the duel between Xiahou Wu and Feng Yuxiu is roughly divided into three steps. ”

"The first step is to directly portray the tough type of Feng Yuxiu's character.

This is not very difficult, we can just make up a few shots that are full of destructive power during the practice of Feng Yu Xiu.

In addition, when Xiahou Wu's whole body was strong before the fight, his clothes and the surrounding dust were all shaken as if they were blown by a strong wind. Highlight the strength of the two national art masters at the peak of their strength from different levels.

This is what I mean by freehand, not only looking for a sense of power in the fighting action, but in every action of the protagonist before the duel, there is a sense of strength beyond ordinary people, plus the sound effect of the bone joints ringing, creating an impression of the character that exceeds the daily perception of the audience. ”

Peng Yichen pointed to the first large paragraph on the manuscript paper and explained.

Fang Long's frowning brows relaxed, nodded and said, "Yes, what's next?"

"Next, it is the beginning of the fist and foot attack and bamboo pole fight! In this section, Xiahou Wu first had the advantage, relying on the mellow strength to suppress Feng Yu Xiu, and then in the long pole fight, Feng Yu Xiu relied on the insidious viciousness of the weapon to win back a game. This paragraph shows the thrill and life and death of the two national art masters in the fighting process, so it is necessary to use a large number of destruction shots, plus the shots of the strong physical resistance of the national art masters, to show the strength of the two people. Peng Yichen said with a smile.

"Okay, very good, what you said makes me want to hurry up and see this fight scene, the real fighting tricks to the flesh, plus the extraordinary destructive power to the surrounding environment, this is what you said!" Fang Long smiled excitedly.

Peng Yichen nodded and said, "Brother Long is right, that is, let the most realistic fighting actions and the most terrifying destructive power be perfectly combined. ”

"The last paragraph is the ultimate duel between the two people, Xiahou Wu relied on the advantage of skill to defeat Feng Yuxiu openly. But Feng Yuxiu relied on the spirit of not wanting to die, and used the endless flow of cars to turn defeat into victory. In the end, both of them broke through, a person full of justice and a person full of evil thoughts, both of whom could break through and become top Baodan masters. This is what Director Wang wants to express. Guoshu is just a tool, used for good and used for evil, but in a thought. ”

After listening patiently, Fang Long hesitated for a moment and said, "Will it be too cumbersome to arrange the last duel like this, I'm afraid that the audience will get tired of it." ”

Peng Yichen grinned and said: "No, it's not cumbersome at all, every action scene in this movie is to pave the way for this duel." Feng Yuxiu's strength in the early stage will rise step by step in the hearts of the audience, but the protagonist Xiahou Wu rarely shows his strength. So when it comes to this, if Xiahou Wu defeats his opponent too easily, the audience will feel fake and boring. If you want the audience to deepen the impression of the peak master of national martial arts, this duel must be difficult and full of dramatic conflict. Only in this way can the audience's recognition and sense of authenticity of Guoshu be infinitely improved. ”

Fang Long finally accepted Peng Yichen's point of view.

The two of them put away the prepared martial arts action plans again, and went back to rest.

When he walked out of the crew, Peng Yichen looked up and suddenly found that the sun in the east had faintly climbed up.
