Chapter 18: The Perfect Action Scene
The entire crew of "Who Am I" spent more than a month in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, before finally filming the plot close to Li Xuan and Fang Long's need to fight as scheduled.
The days are approaching day by day, and the shooting plan is ready, and Li Xuan's wait for a while is really about to come true.
For this wonderful fight scene, Li Xuan has not only conducted many drills and trials with Fang Long, but also recalled similar images in his mind, and added many wonderful fight scenes from other movie images to comprehensively learn and use.
However, although the similar fight scene in the parallel world in my mind was completed very well, it can still be seen that when the actors in that world are fighting, the movements seem too gentle, and the two sides are obviously retracted when they are playing, and there is no realism of punching to the flesh, and the ornamentation is slightly fake.
Fortunately, Li Xuan is now one of the martial arts instructors of the real-world "Who Am I" crew in this world, and he is very confident that he will change the shortcomings in the similar scenes in his mind, so that the fight between the two sides will be further sublimated and become a classic existence in the future action drama film and television of the world.
Only in this way can he live up to the good opportunity for him to star in Fang Long's movie.
Finally, one day, the crew successfully filmed the plot where Fang Long, the protagonist, and the villain boss in the play confronted each other. Immediately, the camera began to turn to the upcoming major fight scene between Li Xuan and Fang Long!
In fact, the Chinese thug played by Li Xuan has already shown a few faces in the play a few times before, and has appeared a few times, and has been a human flesh scene.
Therefore, when that moment really came, Li Xuan smoothly dressed up as the Chinese thug character and officially stood in front of the set up camera, but there was no freshness in the slightest. All he has is the adaptation and habit of the role, and a strong sense of expectation for the filming process of the next action scenes.
Soon, the shooting took place!
In the scene filmed by the camera, the character played by Fang Long has already tried to climb to the roof of the building, and is trying to escape from here.
Suddenly, he found that two people quickly appeared in front of him and behind him, surrounding and blocking him.
The guy chasing after him was an expatriate thug with a pistol, and the person who stood in the way in front of him was the Chinese thug played by Li Xuan!
Regarding the role of the foreign thug, I have to mention that Fang Long has been discussing with Li Xuan and others one after another during this time, and finally decided to keep the role of the foreign thug a little, let him hold a gun, a villain thug in the American style, to bring out the difference of Li Xuan's kung fu villain character, and by the way, leave some follow-up foreshadowing for Fang Long's character.
At this time, in the filming location of the scene, the scene was continuing to be filmed.
Li Xuan, who didn't have a gun, and a foreign actor who had a gun, the two were steady, step by step, slowly walking towards Fang Long, each with a confident smile on their faces.
Especially Li Xuan, the expression on his face is very good, in addition to the sense of confidence that the character needs, the expression he gave seemed to have a little bit of a joke about Fang Long's character, as if he was going to catch cat and mouse soon.
"You have two options, first, hand over the disc and jump from here!" After the three figures stood still at the same time and were in the best frame range of the camera position, Li Xuan said his lines with a relaxed smile.
He didn't deliberately play handsome, but in the understatement, he immediately showed a bit of a strong sense of domineering confidence!
For the sake of a few lines and simple performances here, Li Xuan has already honed countless times in private, and it is very natural to use it at this moment.
The foreign actor over there immediately echoed and said another line: "Second, we will defeat you, snatch the disc, and then throw you down!" ”
Although the foreigner didn't act very well, he didn't matter here, and the crew wouldn't even give him any close-ups, just left him to play.
Facing the two aggressive thugs, Fang Long's character had no way to retreat, and responded angrily: "I have a third choice, I won't give you the disc, and I will throw both of you down!" ”
Li Xuan immediately sneered at this and said, "Very good." ”
Then, he stretched out his hand and motioned for his foreign companion to stand aside, and said, "Help me time it, and get him in thirty seconds!" ”
The foreigner with the gun smiled slightly, stood aside, and handed over the venue to Li Xuan and Fang Long, who always maintained a sneering expression.
Fang Long continued to perform at the moment, trying to show a solemn expression, and was left with a big feature by the camera.
At the same time, the camera also made a close-up of Li Xuan to capture the cold calmness on his face and the confidence in winning the game.
Immediately afterwards, after Fang Long clenched his fists to make a prediction, the fight scene between Li Xuan and Fang Long was announced.
Li Xuan's footsteps moved forward in an instant, as if he raised his leg and kicked in the direction of Fang Long, followed by it but immediately retracted it, it was a false shot, but the real move was a straight punch as fast as lightning immediately after!
The offensive action was unexpected, it worked well, and it was extremely swift and aggressive.
Of course, since the two of them were acting, Fang Long had naturally rehearsed many times in advance, and it was impossible for him to be hit by this trick. At the same time, he cooperated in an extremely passive situation, and suddenly leaned back a little, took a step back, and dodged the attack from Li Xuan.
It's just a pity that the role of Fang Long in the play still doesn't have a chance to fight back immediately, Li Xuan's role is very strong, and he was not given the slightest chance, so he could only be beaten passively.
In an instant, the quick combo that followed!
This is really a very powerful set of fast attack combos for Li Xuan's character, the clenched arm just waved forward, and hit away with huge power, but before it successfully hit Fang Long's character's body, Li Xuan's character, who should belong to the play, seems to have taken into account the dodge movements that Fang Long's character may use, exert force on his feet, and then continue to change his moves, followed by a further kick attack. After these two actions were completed, he still did not stop, his body subconsciously turned in a circle, easily changed his force, adjusted his posture, used his hands and feet together, and continued to hit frantically towards Fang Long's character who only had the power to parry!
In the play, Li Xuan's series of quick attack moves made Fang Long's character take a lot of steps back in a row, which was quite embarrassing.
I have to say that this set of actions used by Li Xuan seems to be related to a popular arcade game that has just appeared on the market recently, and it is similar to a certain character's powerful combo trick in the game.
When there was no way to retreat, Fang Long's character finally stopped retreating, and suddenly saw an opportunity, stretched his hands forward, and grabbed his palms, ready to forcibly grab the collar of Li Xuan's character's clothes.
Li Xuan, a master character, is naturally not so easy to be grabbed by the neckline, and then grabbed Fang Long's arms with both hands, and then returned to attack Fang Long's character.
During the continuous acting of the two, each continued to use the wonderful action of bondage and dismantling against each other!
Then, Li Xuan's character once again took the initiative to change his moves, still holding the initiative to attack, he suddenly raised his elbows and tried to hit Fang Long's character's chest with two elbows.
If it doesn't work out at once, reflexively try it again, Li Xuan's strength during the performance has not been exhausted in the slightest, and because he and Fang Long have practiced these routines many times before, the process of the two of them has been perfect so far.
In the field, Fang Long's character was still trying to dodge, trying to break free from the attack from Li Xuan, a thug.
It's a pity that suddenly, his suit jacket was firmly pulled in Li Xuan's hand, and at the same time affected the play of his hands, Li Xuan took this opportunity to raise his knees and continue to move forward, while raising his knees high to hit Fang Long's character's stomach.
Fang Long's character resisted Li Xuan's knees, while still pulling his waist and chest back, and continued to successfully complete the dodge without being hit.
If one move fails, one more move, in the play, Li Xuan suddenly pulled Fang Long's character's hands hard, and suddenly threw him out directly to the side!
The character played by Fang Long naturally didn't expect to encounter such an unexpected attack, and accidentally fell straight to the ground. He then wanted to get up and fight again, at this time, Li Xuan's character, who had already been premeditated, stepped forward with an arrow, first knocked down Fang Long's character with one punch, followed by a neat turn to accumulate strength, flew up, and successfully kicked Fang Long's character to the ground for the second time and couldn't get up.
"How many seconds?"
After Li Xuan finished kicking, he called it a day easily, turned to the foreigner and asked, his expression was still very relaxed and arrogant.
The foreigner who played the play kept his task in mind and knew that it was his turn to say his lines: "Exactly, 29 seconds, good!" ”
"OK, click!"
At this moment, the on-site director Chen Musheng shouted the end of the filming just right.
Immediately after, he continued to shout with full excitement: "Great, just now the whole action scene was shot to the end!" Brother Fang Long, this is really a very rare scene, you and Xiao Li have played so wonderfully and tacitly, seamlessly, there is no need to reshoot, and there is no problem in the details! ”
Suddenly, the whole crew was shocked by the sensation together.
They already watched the two have a very enjoyable fight, and after receiving further professional recognition from the director, they naturally broke out together with continuous cheers and praises for Li Xuan and Fang Long.
In any case, similar to the "one-shot to the end" fight scene that just appeared on the shooting scene, it was really an extremely rare scene.
Action scenes, especially big-scale action scenes like Fang Long, are often very demanding, and they are not so easy to complete, let alone the two of them cooperating in one shot to the end.
This is absolutely top-notch for the needs of the actors' own abilities and action levels.
Fang Long is an experienced super action star, but Li Xuan even completed a little better in the process of the scene just now, such a situation is too terrible!
After Fang Long finished this fight, he was also very excited, and after a brief break, he clapped his hands and jumped at Li Xuan very happily: "This is really a rare scene that can make me play very coolly, even if I was in the play just now, I was basically the one who was beaten." But Xiao Li, you keep going on with so many beautiful trick attacks, which are really exciting and chic enough! ”
Without waiting for Li Xuan to respond, Fang Long turned to smile instead: "Hehe, however, for the next shooting, it should be my character in the play to start fighting back!" ”
Indeed, the next scene is more important for Li Xuan, and it is more difficult to play the scene of being beaten passively than the scene of beating people. He didn't have time to be proud of himself, and he still needed to continue to adjust his mentality for the next performance of the beaten action scene.
And everyone in the crew can't help but gradually look forward to him again at this moment.
