Gu Xiaofan said this, in fact, he didn't deliberately find fault, for any Chinese filmmaker who grew up watching Hong Kong action movies, all Hollywood action movies are really weak. 【】

But when other people heard this argument, they had a completely different feeling, you know, the action design of "King Haibian" has been unanimously praised by film critics in the Hollywood industry, but Gu Xiaofan said it directly, obviously showing off the meaning of Yuan Jiaban next to him.

Eighth sister-in-law Xie Yuxin also showed a satisfied expression when she heard this, joking, his husband Yuan Heping is the "world's No. 1 martial arts instructor", and Gu Xiaofan is certainly qualified to criticize the action design of "King Haibian".

Gu Xiaofan's first sentence turned this temporary press conference into a very topical topic.

And when it was Matthew Vaughn's turn to evaluate Gu Xiaofan, the British director, who is good at shooting action movies, diverted the topic and smiled:

"I was very impressed with Mr. Gu Xiaofan's acting skills, you know that we almost could have worked together in 'X-Men: First Fight', but unfortunately it didn't take shape in the end, and in the end the company decided to start our existing cast."

In a simple sentence, he has already opened up the gap between his identity and Gu Xiaofan, Matthew Vaughn's meaning is very simple, your success in business is indeed amazing, but returning to the film profession, you are just an actor in Hollywood now, although you won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, but it is only between the first line and the second line, when you were going to play my movie, I still couldn't look down on you.

As for your directing prowess? Maybe you have a set of oriental literary films like "The Undertaker", and you haven't proven yourself in the mainstream Hollywood movie battlefield, so it's not worth comparing with me at all.

Now the atmosphere on the scene is even more interesting, and the two directors are obviously building momentum to promote their new films, which is a bit of a-for-tat.

The reporters hurriedly continued to ask: "Director Vaughn~ What do you think about what Director Gu said just now about the shortcomings of your action design in "King Haibian"? ”

This is obviously a problem of sowing discord, Matthew Vaughn was stunned for a moment, and laughed and said:

"I completely agree with Director Gu on this point, if it is at the level of kung fu, filmmakers all over the world are probably learning the ...... of Hong Kong action design" He said that he looked at Yuan Heping, who did not speak, and continued:

"However, many of the visual impact effects of kung fu movies are achieved by relying on tightropes and some behind-the-scenes techniques, such as pulling the tightrope by humans to make the actors' movements look beautiful when the fight is in the air, which we couldn't do before, but now we can use machines to precisely control it.

On the other hand, the visual impact of actors' fights mainly comes from the frequency and strength of their movements, and in my opinion, the young generation of Hollywood actors is no longer inferior to or even surpasses the young generation of Chinese actors. ”

Speaking of this, Matthew Vaughn reached out and pulled Jennifer Lawrence in front of the camera, and said with a smile: "Jennifer is the best action actor I have discovered, and I think she is better than Zhang Ziyi." ”

X-Men; In First Fight, the main fighting scenes are played by Jennifer Lawrence, who is the film's top action star.

At this moment, not only the strong Xie Yuxin and Liu Shishi, but even Yuan Heping's face changed after listening to the translation, Yuan Baye looked directly at Gu Xiaofan, Gu Xiaofan comprehended and handed him the microphone, and said softly: "Eighth Master, you come, I'll help you translate." ”

Yuan Heping took the microphone with a dry cough, and the reporters hurriedly pointed their cameras at him.

"I've seen a lot of Hollywood action design recently, and I've also seen "King Haibian", and Hollywood's progress in action design is obvious to all." The smile on Yuan Heping's face was already completely news, and he was full of disdain when he looked at Matthew Vaughn:

"But in general, Hollywood's action design only stays at the violent and bloody level that was popular in Hong Kong in the 5 and 60s, all the action design is just a combination of direct power and some juggling, and there is no technology and beauty to speak of, I even think that these shots have nothing to do with action design, but just use pure bloody violence to stimulate the senses."

When the reporters heard Yuan Heping's point of view, they all looked at Matthew Vaughn silently, and the British director's smile became stiff, bloody and violent...... Isn't it his "King of the Seas"......? This old bastard...

"I know that Hollywood is responsible for action design by the director himself, but our Hong Kong is different, our Hong Kong films, action design is responsible for the action design team, such as these young people in my Yuan family class, some of the three generations of the family are dragon and tiger martial artists, he has been learning traditional martial arts since he was a child, and a lot of experience and aesthetic sense can only be cultivated over many years, not just a year or two of imitation."

After Yuan Heping finished saying his opinion, he put down the microphone, still full of anger on his face, obviously Yuan Baye was stimulated by Matthew Vaughn's argument that "Hollywood action design has surpassed Hong Kong".

The reporters were full of excitement to record Yuan Heping's words, and the two major action movie crews can be regarded as on the pole.

As a director, Gu Xiaofan's comparison with Matthew Vaughn and actress Jennifer Lawrence are all topical.

The reporter from the New York Times asked the last question at this particular press conference.

"As far as I know, in this year's summer file, there are a total of "Dangerous Spy War", "Agent Sauter", "Expendables", "X-Men: The First Battle", and "Super Body" for the first time with a Chinese actor as the first protagonist, these 5 heroic action movies, although the emphasis on action elements is different, but I would like to ask, can the two predict which movie will be more popular in the market?"

"Secret Strike" is the new work of action superstar Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie of "Agent Sauter" is also a well-known Hollywood heroine, and "The Expendables" is full of Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Mel Gibson, Jet Li, Arnold Schwarzenegger...... A host of legendary action superstars.

In comparison, whether it is Liu Shishi or Jennifer Lawrence, they are just fledgling rookie actors.

The reporter who asked this question originally wanted to use this topic to promote the newcomer actors of these two crews.

Gu Xiaofan was about to make an official polite reply that was in line with his identity, but he glanced at Matthew Vaughn, recalled the humiliation in his mind, and thought of his commitment to Liu Shishi, so he couldn't help but pick up the microphone and show a free and confident smile:

"I don't know who the audience will like, and I'm not sure how everyone will react to a movie like "Super Body" with Chinese women as the protagonist, but I believe that no matter who the opponent is, "Super Body" will be the best hero action movie in this summer's file."

The audience was stunned.........
