Around 2000, Hollywood, because of the decline of Hong Kong films, introduced a large number of Hong Kong film talents, so as to quickly master the kind of martial arts action design capabilities that Hong Kong filmmakers have accumulated for decades.

A large number of kung fu movies were born, such as "The Matrix", "Rush Hour" and the "Spy" series.

Coupled with Hollywood's unique computer technology, they created something more suitable for their own aesthetics.

The action director of "Wolf Warrior 2" is Sam Hargreeve, an American action director!

It's embarrassing, because the Chinese action director can't design the gunfight action...

Sam Hargreeff's style of action is cold, varied, and fast-paced. He directed the action scenes of "Captain America 3", which was rated by North American critics as "Marvel's best yet".

Director Xu Haofeng once said: "Chinese martial arts films are basically a dead genre now. ”

Yes, Chinese action movies have been dismembered by Hollywood, and their techniques have been applied to various genres.

However, the audience in North America still respects Wong Feihong's action scenes, because this is the most characteristic thing of Chinese actors and Chinese action movies - oriental beauty!

"The Matrix", the action scenes are very good, especially the original 'bullet time' is enough to leave a famous action movie history, but unfortunately, Keanu Reeves's body is too stiff, and many actions can't be done at all, or, the actions designed by Yuan Baye are indescribably awkward to foreigners!

Not only domestic audiences like the original domestic action movies, but also foreigners!

Of course, there are many action movies in later generations that pursue action design too much and unilaterally ignore the plot of the movie!

The most famous is "One Man's Martial Arts", to be honest, "One Man's Martial Arts", purely from the perspective of action design, is definitely the pinnacle of action design in recent years, look at his behind-the-scenes action design team: Zhen Dan, Dong Wei, Yuan Bing, Luo Lixian, Yan Hua, it seems to be half of the Hong Kong film martial arts instructors!

It's a pity that the mainland box office of the movie stopped at 120 million, but the investment in this movie is 190 million Hong Kong dollars, that is, about 150 million yuan, which is definitely a loss...

Of course, it has done well at the box office in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong.

In addition to the public image of Zhen Bullet itself, I am afraid that the plot is too mediocre!

This is like many domestic blockbusters, simply focusing on the picture effect and ignoring the essence of the movie, that is, the plot.

When many people talk about "Hero", they will say that the effect of ten thousand arrows is too realistic, or that Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Manyu's fight scenes are really beautiful, and rarely talk about a certain character or a certain plot - this basically represents the failure of the story and character building!

The "Once Upon a Time" series is different, in addition to action design, it pays more attention to the core of the story...

……

Jenny has had the privilege of witnessing the filming of many Hollywood street fights and shootouts.

It's hot, and the blasting effect is realistic.

But obviously, it's not at all the same as the shooting she's seen right now!

On the quaint streets, there are eight cameras buried and filmed at the same time, and hundreds of people enter at the same time, of course, there are only dozens of people who really participate in the fight, and the rest are a group of people who eat melons to watch the show, that is, group performances.

Moreover, these people are really fighting!

The fist really hit the body!

It hurts to watch...

Although Master Huang has Weiya hanging from him, his movements are smooth, just like a gymnast, rolling up and down, and those minions with weapons are almost one kick, and they are all knocked to the ground!

And that's... Chinese Kung Fu? Oriental Kung Fu style martial arts movements?

Jenny couldn't help but let out an exclamation!

"Wow! These people are so not easy!

"Click!"

Pao Hui was a little dissatisfied.

"The No. 2 camera just now didn't shoot clearly, pay attention to retreating about one meter"

At this time, Li Zhongzhi also walked to the shooting site, briefly explained a few words, and then withdrew from the camera.

Chen Snail held the megaphone: "Come, all attention! Let's do it again!"

Again?

Jenny listened to Chen Farong's translation beside her, but she thought in her heart that this director was so strict...

In the scuffle, a man who was not tall, wearing a black long shirt and a hat on his head looked around, and then, with his hands into fists, shouted in his mouth: 'Cross fist', and directly knocked a minion flying...

"Rude and rude, a little effort, not a respect..."

"Click! Liang Kuan, your expression is too ruthless, pay attention, smile more, you are the funny person in charge of the whole play!"

There is no doubt that it was Zhou Yiwei.

So, the shot just now came again.

This time, Xu Hui nodded.

"Okay! This is over, ready for the next one!"

Cannon Hui nodded.

The filming of the fight scene is far from being as simple as the movie presents, especially the shots with many characters, the larger the scene, the more difficult it is to schedule, and there is a big problem, the fight scenes can rarely be directly shot into long shots, and they often need to be shot little by little.

In the jargon, it's called saving shots!

If you think about it, this scene is not only Huang Feihong played by Wu Jing, but the characters involved include Liang Kuan, Aunt Thirteen, White Lotus disciples, onlookers...

To be honest, he is already very satisfied with the current progress, and according to his predictions, it is estimated that the shooting will be completed by the end of September...

……

"Is this Chinese kung fu?

Jenny put down the camera in her hand with some emotion, and couldn't help but ask Chen Farong beside her: "I have also watched a lot of action movies, and there are many action movies among you, but I rarely see such a scene?"

“… Is Xu Hui a genius, and what director have you ever seen who has made a global blockbuster of more than $200 million at the age of 25?"

Chen Farong was also quite proud, and directly praised Pao Hui.

"Once Upon a Time" has a mainland box office of 800 million, an overseas box office of nearly 100 million US dollars, and a global box office of more than 200 million, which is an absolute big hit.

When the news was released, there were all kinds of clamor and arguments on the Internet, and many people said that 'the heyday of kung fu movies has come' and 'the full revival of Chinese action movies', but unfortunately, these discussions are too controversial.

Does the success of one film represent the success of the entire film genre?

So to speak, "Wolf Warrior 2" took 5.6 billion yuan at the box office, so why are domestic movies still a pile of bad movies?

'I don't know if there is a revival of Chinese-language action movies, I only know that Xu Hui's movies have entered Hollywood!'

The words of an unknown netizen reached the hearts of the public...

"I want to ask, what is Xu Hui's status in your country's film circle?"

Jenny smiled and changed the question.

“… Well, after all, he's only made three movies, so..."

"So, his status isn't very high, is he?"
