Chapter 459: Martial Arts and Dance

readx;? Regarding Li Yan's remarks during the exchange, mainland filmmakers have different opinions. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The industrialization of the film industry was originally the focus of debate in the circle, and the decision on whether to follow the Hollywood model has not yet been decided.

Those who adhere to the theory of art believe that the Hollywood model has devoured the creative talent of the director, and that film is an art in which the director plays a leading role, and everything else is a tool to assist the director.

This is true for actors, this is the director-centered system.

The Chinese film industry has always adopted this creative model, which has created a very high status of directors.

They believe that China cannot copy Hollywood's set, and that in addition to Hollywood, there is also a European road to follow.

European filmmakers advocate individualized creation and criticize the commercialization of Hollywood films, so Europe is rich in literary films, and domestic art academies are mainly based on European films when teaching.

This is the main reason why the domestic film circle advocates the theory of art.

For many years, the school teachers taught this way, and this notion has long been ingrained.

However, judging from the current situation, Hollywood's commercial films are conquering the global film market.

Take "Titanic" as an example, the film was a success not only in China, but also around the world, and it showed filmmakers around the world the power of Hollywood commercial blockbusters.

The box office of more than a billion dollars is the best proof of this.

How to go seems obvious, the establishment of Huaying Group by the General Administration is an attempt, and it is still unknown whether it can succeed.

Some people are not optimistic about Li Huan's future prospects, thinking that Li Huan will wear down his talent under the Hollywood system.

This kind of thing has been going on for a long time, and many famous European directors have gone to Hollywood to develop, and few have achieved success, and their personalities and ideas are difficult to adapt to Hollywood's way of making films.

The domestic media reported on Li Yu's arrival in the capital, and there were both praise and criticism.

Good Dream Company held a press conference to announce the news of inviting Li Yu to direct "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

This news was previously only circulated in circles and was not confirmed, and this is the first time that it has been officially explained to the outside world.

The total investment of the film is 10 million US dollars, and as for who the actors are, it will be announced in the future.

On the one hand, the actors have not yet been decided, and on the other hand, it is a propaganda strategy.

Let the media guess for themselves and confirm it to the actors, so that there will always be relevant news in the newspapers.

Li Yan answered the question as a director, he wants to make a different martial arts film.

He didn't just talk, this time he came to the capital, in addition to selecting actors and watching locations, he also planned to visit some martial arts masters.

Li Yu carried a lot of books that recorded martial arts, not martial arts secrets, but the experience of martial artists, from which he wanted to experience the spirit of martial artists and use them in movies.

He mentioned this to Lin Zixuan, and asked Lin Zixuan to find a few mainland martial artists for him to communicate.

Li Yu pursues a kind of spirit, and the martial arts in Xiangjiang martial arts films are different from the exercises in the martial arts routines, using only the appearance and spirit of martial arts, rather than the essence.

Martial arts pay attention to real fighting, and the moves must be effective to defeat the opponent.

The martial arts in martial arts films should visually present the dynamic, aesthetic and cinematic sense of the action.

To put it bluntly, it is to watch it play, exciting, and handsome, as for whether it can be played in reality, it doesn't matter if you can play or not, what matters is the excitement of the audience, just spend money to buy tickets.

Li Yu communicated with the martial artists in Xiangjiang.

Most of the martial arts in Xiangjiang were born in Peking Opera troupes, including Cheng Long, Yuan Heping, Cheng Xiaodong and others, all of whom had studied Peking Opera before.

In Xiangjiang's martial arts films, the trick is the choreography on the stage of Peking Opera, which is a concept of "drama", not the concept of "martial arts", and martial arts are just a disguise.

The most wonderful martial arts moves in the movie are often written by people from Peking Opera martial arts.

They fused martial arts and Peking Opera together, and the influence of Peking Opera can be seen from their appearance and figure.

Wu Xing is both handsome and fast when he punches and closes, and the strength shown by the two when they fight is very dramatic, this is not a real martial art, it has to be choreographed.

The audience will not be nervous and engaged when watching martial arts films, just like watching Peking Opera under the stage.

It presents a sense of distance, detachment and detachment, which is absolutely different from the feeling of watching a real boxing match.

It is said that there was no shortage of practitioners in Xiangjiang's previous movie martial arts, but because of demand, the martial arts moves in the movie and the martial arts moves in reality gradually drifted apart, and slowly formed a situation where martial arts were put aside and only pursued a sense of cinema.

Li Yu didn't want to use the way of Peking Opera performance to shoot "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and there was a difference with Xiangjiang's martial arts on this point.

They think it's okay to shoot better, but Li Yu wants to shoot more realistically.

For example, the sword is double-edged and cannot be waved over the shoulder, otherwise it is easy to hurt yourself, and the knife can be over the shoulder.

Xiangjiang's martial arts are not used in this regard, and the use of a sword is like a stick, which does not conform to the basic principles of martial arts.

Stick a piece, a sword point, these are the key tips in martial arts.

Xiangjiang Wuxing does not pay attention to the principles of martial arts, but can use it, and has developed a set of methods for convenience and screen effect.

Martial artists from mainland professional classes pay more attention to these.

However, if you really let the mainland martial arts team or martial arts masters make a movie, the realism is realistic, but the effect of the shooting is not good-looking, and there is no beauty in the moves choreographed by Xiangjiang Wuxing.

Is it martial arts or dance?

Li Yu struggled, and he came to the mainland to communicate with martial artists, hoping to find a new way between martial arts and dance.

This is actually something that Xiangjiang Wuxing has long verified, movies are movies, martial arts are martial arts, and they are not the same thing at all.

It's just that Li Yu is still unwilling.

The martial arts film he wants to make must not only be good-looking, but also have a spirit in it, the actors must abide by the basic principles of martial arts, and the swords used for punches must have their own postures.

Li Yu didn't want to shoot that kind of scene of fast fighting, he wanted to slow down the martial arts action for the audience to see.

It's a good shot, and it's over after a fool, and the audience won't dig deeper.

It's hard to be slow, and once it slows down, it's equivalent to zooming in, and it's easy to expose shortcomings.

For "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Li Yu has a lot of ideas, and the part of martial arts is only one of them.

Lin Zixuan introduced Mr. Ma Xianda, a famous martial artist in Shaanxi Province, to Li Yu.

Mr. Ma's Ma Jia Quan and Ma Jia Whip are a must in the mainland martial arts world, he himself came from a martial arts family, and is good at boxing weapons such as back, splitting and hanging, opening the door and poking feet.

He has served as the chief referee of the national martial arts competition for a long time, and also served as the martial arts instructor of many domestic film and television dramas.

Li Yu and Ma Xianda chatted a lot of doubts in their hearts, one of which was whether martial arts could be good-looking.

Martial arts itself is also divided into two types: performance and actual combat, can you add the routines of performance to the movie, so that the actor's martial arts is not just like a dance, but also has some real things. (To be continued.) )
