At the beginning, because the film style of "Die Hard" was very different from the current Hong Kong films, many members of the crew were very uncomfortable.

However, Hong Kong's filmmakers are notoriously hard-working; From the third day of filming, they have begun to slowly adapt to this rhythm.

When filming an action movie, the drama is generally filmed first, so as not to affect the process after the actor is injured or other situations occur during the filming of the action scene; Because action scenes can be completed with stand-ins, but literary dramas cannot.

"Die Hard" is a popular action movie, there are few literary scenes, and the filming is going smoothly, Xie Xian doesn't need to talk about it, and the "young people" such as Li Xiuxian, Ling Qingxia, Zhong Zeshi and other actors are also mature people with acting skills, and there is a lot less trouble.

If it weren't for the future, Chen Yongren would have thought that he would not need newcomers to make movies in the future, but only look for these old actors; It's too much trouble to train the acting skills of new actors.

Under the meticulous craftsmanship and careful polishing of Chen Yongren, Zhang Che and Wu Yulin, the simple literary drama was filmed for nearly ten days before the three of them were satisfied; After the crew took a day off, the filming of the action scenes began.

Although the action scenes of the original "Die Hard" are mainly gunfights, there are also a lot of close-to-hand combat scenes; Before Hong Kong's action directors entered Hollywood, Hollywood's action scenes were very simple, you punched, I kicked, or tangled and twisted, and the protagonist struggled to stand up and was done.

Now Chen Yongren shoots in Hong Kong, of course, he can't simply finish it, the action director of "Die Hard" is Dong Wei, although the latter is not famous now, but in the future, he is one of the top Hong Kong action directors, participated in the production of many well-known films, the scene processing and action design are very clean and neat, and he has been nominated for Best Action Director at the Hong Kong Film Awards many times.

The first action scene begins with Li Xiuxian and Xu **, the latter playing the first robber to die in search of the protagonist, and the brother of the second person in the robbers played by Huang Qiusheng.

Li Xiuxian, as a disciple of Zhang Che, is also from acting in martial arts films, and his skills are naturally not bad, although Xu ** is tall and big, and his physical fitness is okay, but he has no kung fu foundation at all, but fortunately, the scene of this fight is relatively short, Chen Yongren asked Dong Wei to control it for half a minute, after all, this is a police theme, not a kung fu movie.

Now that the post-production techniques are not mature, most of the action scenes in the filming of movies are of a semi-actual nature, so most of the stuntmen and dragon and tiger warriors are very hard.

Cheng Yuanlong is often disabled after filming, especially when he fell from the bell tower during the filming of "Plan A", his head hit the ground first, his cervical vertebrae were broken, and he was almost paralyzed; Li Lianjie filmed the "Shaolin Temple" series and "Chinese Heroes", and every time he was seriously injured in important parts of his body, he was disabled several times.

In front of the camera, Xu ** was pressed to the ground by Li Xiuxian, the former's neck was locked by the latter, and his eyes were bloodshot......

"Click......" Wu Yulin shouted, and said hurriedly: "Hurry up and help Xu ** rescue him to rest; This shot is good, it can be passed, and Ah Xiu also rested for a while, ready to start the next ......".

"Wait......".

When everyone heard the reputation, they saw Chen Yongren walking slowly to Xu **'s side, and said with concern: "How is your body?" ”。

Xu ** was quite moved, he stroked his chest and coughed twice, and said with a forced smile: "Director, it's nothing, it's just a little chest tightness and panting, it's okay to slow down for a few minutes!" ”。

"That's good ......".

Everyone was sighing to themselves that it was rare to meet such a good director, so they heard Chen Yongren continue: "The section just now is a little unsatisfactory, you take a break first, and come to me in fifteen minutes." After saying that, he ignored everyone's dull gaze and turned to leave.

"Ah Ren, what's wrong?"; Wu Yulin walked over, "What was wrong with that scene just now that I didn't notice?" ”。 Dong Wei and Li Xiuxian also followed, and they all had to participate in this scene.

Chen Yongren said to the two: "This is the first action scene in the movie, and it is the beginning of the duel between the protagonist and the robbers; Be sure to take the lead and create a sense of amazement for the audience. Although the fight just now is exciting, it still does not break away from the cliché, and the actions of the two people need to be redesigned! ”。

The other three looked at each other, all dazed. Dong Wei scratched his head, and he didn't come up with a reason for a long time. Amazing? Can two old men fight and still be amazing? Besides, didn't you say that this fight can't last more than half a minute? What tricks can you play in half a minute?

Chen Yongren saw the reaction of the three of them, and said to Dong Wei: "We can start from the protagonist's moves to defeat the enemy, viagra do you have any good ideas?" ”。

Dong Wei frowned for a long time, sighed in frustration, and said helplessly: "Director, I really can't think of any way!" You specifically mentioned me earlier, fighting to the death, making dangerous moves, clean and neat, and with a sharp sense of vision; Brother Hugh is okay to say, he has a kung fu foundation, but Xu ** is different, I really can't think of it in a short time...... How can I meet your requirements! ”。

Chen Yongren said with a smile: "The problem is not people, the paragraph just now has passed, and what is missing is just a finishing touch, you can design a few wonderful moves ...... that have not appeared in the movie before."

Dong Wei was stunned for a long time, but still shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.

Chen Yongren sighed, the main character in the original story is set in the United States, so as a police officer, he can carry a gun and fly between the two cities.

But now the background of the adaptation is Hong Kong and Taiwan, two regions with different political systems, and this must be changed, so when the protagonist encounters the robbers, he takes something casually and pretends to have a gun, and the fight between the two people is mainly about fighting for guns.

So the real first meeting between the protagonist and the robber will be more embarrassing, one is holding a micro rush, the other is bare-handed, if it's a comedy movie, it's okay to say, you can fool the past with a casual spoof, but Chen Yongren doesn't want to fall into clichés.

When I was thinking about this problem, I suddenly remembered Huang Bingyao who I saw last time I went back to Hong Kong, and suddenly had an idea, "Fatal Scissor Feet" cannot be used, this trick is too fanciful and not suitable for the realism of "Die Hard", but Huang Bingyao created not only "Fatal Scissor Feet", but also "Nelson-style locks" and "Thunderbolt Soul Chasing Locks......

"I'm sorry to ......"; Dong Wei was very crazy in his heart, he suppressed the frustration in his heart, and asked Chen Yongren with a forced smile: "Director, what is the 'Nelson-style lock' and ...... 'Thunderbolt Soul Chasing Lock'?" ”。

Chen Yongren scratched his head and pondered for a while before explaining slowly: "These are the two moves in MMA mixed martial arts......."

The "Nelson-style lock" is to hold the opponent's shoulders with both hands under the armpit behind the back, and the "thunderbolt soul lock" is to press the opponent to the ground, lock the opponent's neck with one arm, lock the opponent's arm with the other arm, and then press the opponent's other arm with one leg to make it immobile.

After Dong Wei heard this, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, he thought for a moment and asked, "According to your meaning......."

"The protagonist is holding on to the wall and hanging on the roof of the door, the robber just came in and swept the gun and saw no one, the protagonist jumped down and restrained the robber with a thunderbolt soul lock, but unfortunately the trick was not good, the robber left a free arm and held the gun and shot blindly in the back with difficulty, it was very dangerous here, the bullet grazed the protagonist's neck, the protagonist had no choice but to free a hand, and also took the opportunity to grab the gun ......".

Chen Yongren and Dong Wei discussed the research while teaching Li Xiuxian and Xu **, and after an hour, the two initially grasped the essentials......

"Attention, the action should be sharp and coherent, clean and neat, flowing water, Brother Hugh first lion fight rabbit and thunderbolt soul lock coherently, Xu ** immediately shot, the scorpion swung its tail and then Nelson-style lock after the gun was taken away, not giving Brother Hugh a chance to shoot, Brother Hugh struggled for three seconds, stepped on Xu **'s foot, and immediately ...... when his mind was relaxed Director, what's that trick called? ”； Dong Wei looked at Chen Yongren......

"Forehead ......" Chen Yongren scratched his head, "the dragon snake broke his back and fell over-the-shoulder ......".

Dong Wei was silent for a moment, and said to Li Xiuxian and Xu **: "It doesn't matter what the name is, you just remember the move!" ”。

It's troublesome to say, it's easy to practice, but it's another situation when it comes to the camera, after turning on the camera, NG has failed to pass more than a dozen times, Li Xiuxian's left leg and knee have been red and swollen, and he can't stand up, Xu **'s neck is also sore and painful, and every time NG finishes, he has to rest for half a day, "Die Hard" is a night scene from beginning to end, and most of the night passes like this, and this scene is barely completed.

Li Xiuxian and Xu ** were covered in injuries, and the latter said that the scene had been completed and they could be completely relaxed; The former is the main character, and everything is still in its infancy......

Chen Yongren looked at Li Xiuxian, who was limping, who was supported by Dong Wei, staggering, and looked at him with a resentful expression; Chen Yongren coughed twice and shouted to everyone: "Brother Hugh is unwell, everyone has a three-day holiday, take care of your spirits, there are bigger challenges waiting for us in the future!" ”。

The crowd cheered and packed up; Li Xiuxian said with a bitter face: "We? The big challenges that come up are basically on me! ”。

Chen Yongren smiled and said, "Brother Hugh, don't worry, we have plenty of time, take your time and ......."

This is the case with filming action movies now, if the actor accidentally stumbles, the shooting time will often be several cycles longer than most types of movies, and in serious cases, if there is a severe disability like Cheng Yuanlong and Li Lianjie, it will even be extended indefinitely......

What are you fighting for? is to let Chinese films go to the world.

The cultural differences between the East and the West for thousands of years are deep-rooted and irreversible, and there are only 5 Chinese movies with a score of 8 or more, IMDB, the most professional film platform in the future.

Wang Jiawei's "In the Mood for Love" and "Chongqing Forest" are both 8 points, needless to say, how many years does it take for China to produce such a Wang Jiawei?

The three films above this are all 8.1 points, "The Red Lantern Hangs High", "Infernal Affairs" and "Ip Man"; But with the same score, the number of ratings for the first two is far less than that of "Ip Man", "The Red Lantern Hangs High" has more than 14,000 people, "Infernal Affairs" is less than 60,000, and "Ip Man" has more than 75,000 people.

If Chinese films want to go out, they have to rely on kung fu; dignity is made by fists; It's the same with movies.
