It seems that Stallone not only did not "accidentally injure" Li Xiaole, but suffered a loss......

Wagner, who once served as Stallone's agent, is already blank in his mind next to him, you must know that in the long history of Stallone's action games, almost all of them are the ones who embarrass his opponents, how can the situation be completely reversed when he meets Li Xiaole?

Stallone, who was hailed as a professional boxer by the media, was subdued by a skinny director, which made both Wagner and Tom Cruise find it unbelievable......

If this matter is exposed to the media, I am afraid it will become a big news...... After all, although Stallone is no longer beautiful, in the minds of ordinary Americans, he is still the invincible "Rocky...... is like Bruce Lee in the minds of everyone, an eternal image symbol, among American movie fans, there have been countless "action star actual combat ability rankings", Stallone will always be the first one, and who would have thought that this legendary figure would be subdued by a Chinese director......

At the same time that Wagner's heart was shaking, Stallone at this moment was also full of mixed feelings, he pursed his mouth, looked at Li Xiaole with a very complicated expression and nodded:

"Your actions are really ...... Really good, very beautifully designed......"

With such a pair of actions as Li Xiaole, he felt that his action star seemed to be for nothing, and he suddenly felt that those guys who once said that he could be a professional boxer were simply touting him, maybe if he was younger, maybe he wouldn't lose to the Chinese director...... But this guy's movements are just too fast...... The high-speed frequency of action made him unable to keep up with the rhythm at all, and at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation in his heart.

What's more, Li Xiaole's idea of designing movements is something he has never seen before, and there are roughly 3 genres of action movie design on Shijie now.

The first is the surrealism of Yuan Heping, the martial arts instructor of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", whose light and agile movements completely transcend the laws of physics, and this style was created by the weird director Xu Ke.

Although this style is exquisite, there are two big problems, the first is the feeling of flying away, which is not very suitable for the character settings in ordinary movies, and the second is that only a few Hong Kong people such as Yuan Heping , Xu Ke and so on can do it, and the limitations are too great, so it is generally only used in Chinese martial arts movies or science fiction films.

And the second is the straight fight that looks like the movie, the so-called "primitive fighting" style, this kind of performance requires the least skill, and it is also commonly used in American action movies, you punch me and I kick, there is no beauty at all, mainly emphasizing liliang, similar to Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willie, a veteran action star who has no fighting foundation, all like to use this one, but the shortcomings of this method are also obvious, it looks too rigid to the audience, after "The Matrix" became popular all over the world, It's almost already obsolete.

The action design of the real mainstream movies is almost always the third type, that is, "real art fighting".

The originator of this school of action design is the famous kung fu superstar "Li Xiaole", which is completely in line with the theory and principles of martial arts, and at the same time the movements are cool and beautiful, giving people a strong sense of visual impact, and the main actor needs to have professional combat training and a physical foundation.

Sylvester Stallone himself is this faction, but he has never seen Li Xiaole's extremely gorgeous mixed martial arts techniques used in movies, you must know that action design is an extremely complex thing, superb martial artists don't understand the camera, and they don't know how to fight well, and film practitioners usually don't know how to fight, even if they do, it's rare to get such a fighting skill as boxing as proficient as Stallone.

Therefore, it has been difficult to make a big breakthrough in action design for so many years, and most of them have inherited the previous routines, but this seemingly weak and unruly little director seems to know more than ten kinds of fighting skills, and he can also integrate them, and it is a set of gorgeous and scumbag actions at his fingertips...... Just like he started practicing martial arts from his mother's womb, I'm afraid it's difficult to have this level, is it possible that there is really a genius on Shijie who can completely artistize real fighting movements just by watching movies and TV shows?

In fact, how did Stallone know that Li Xiaole was not as divine as he imagined, and the set of actions he choreographed was a classic fight between Donnie Yen and Zou Zhaolong in the Hong Kong movie "Fuse", which will be released next year.

Although the movie "Fuse" is not outstanding in terms of plot, far inferior to the level of "Ip Man", it is a pioneering work in terms of action design.

For Zou Zhaolong, who is one of the action designers in it, I am afraid that everyone will only remember the heinous Chang Wei in "Jiupin Sesame Official", but this actor, who is a martial arts stand-in like Li Xiaole, is one of the pioneers of the well-known "mixed martial arts design" in the circle.

Donnie Yen also officially formed his action style after filming this movie with him, and then became the top action star in "Ip Man" in 08, "Fuse" is the pioneering work of "mixed martial arts design", and Li Xiaole himself once served as a martial artist in this movie, playing against Donnie Yen and Zou Zhaolong, so he completely remembers all the details of the action choreography.

This set of "mixed martial arts design" is epoch-making even in the Asian film industry, which is the top of action design, and it is only natural that it will open the eyes of Americans like Stallone.

So Li Xiaole didn't think he was awesome, he just patted his clothes calmly and said to Stallone:

"When you were filming in "The Expendables", you should design according to this action, don't worry~ Obadiah Stein doesn't need such a large amount of action." That tone was already completely bossy.

What do you mean? Got an investment yourself? Stallone didn't react for a moment.

"Let's continue, I think there is still room for improvement in this set of moves, I'm afraid there will be no time in the future, don't let the train of thought be broken, you see if this will work, I'll add more ground skills." Li Xiaole pulled Stallone with great interest, he has not done his old job as an action actor for a long time, and he feels quite enjoyable to play against the master today, and he feels a little unable to stop.

Stallone suddenly understood that Li Xiaole agreed to cooperate with him this time, and a smile finally appeared on his stiff face, and he went up to compare with Li Xiaole with great interest, and continued to design the actions in the movie.

Seeing the two men twisting together like children, with extremely happy and excited looks on their faces, Wagner suddenly felt a little envious in his heart......

has been in this circle for a long time, and she has become less and less able to see people who can really enjoy the process of making movies, in the vanity fair of Hollywood, everyone is used to running for results, either for awards or for the box office...... Everyone is desperately gritting their teeth to make a movie, and they are mentally burdened with great pain.

But Li Xiaole and Stallone are different, they are both old-school filmmakers, and they both have a long-term feeling in their hearts, for men like them, the process of making movies is like a child getting his favorite toy, no matter how hard and difficult, they can enjoy it...... Enjoy the ......

"Let's go...... Tommy. Wagner tugged at Tom Cruise's arm and motioned for him to get out, and it looked like the two movie freaks had been working all night in the office to engineer the move.

"Wagner...... Did Lee just say that Obadiah Stan let Stallone play ......? Tom Cruise said helplessly as he walked out the door.

"yes." Wagner burst into laughter, realizing that the outcome was not a happy one, and that Tom Cruise was the victim...... He's probably going to be ravaged by the legendary Sylvester Stallone again......

"Don't worry, Tommy, this time there won't be another situation in "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea"." Wagner's eyes looked at Stallone in the glass wall.

Unlike Rob Reiner, the director who was tortured by Jack Nicholson in every way in "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea", and left a shadow in his heart after filming and went directly to become a producer, Li Xiaole has completely surrendered to Stallone, which is not only a director's conquest of actors, but also a man's most direct means to completely convince the other party......

"I hope so......" Tom Cruise sighed, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, always feeling that the shadow of Jack Nicholson still haunted him......

After it was determined that Sylvester Stallone would play the villain, in the next few days, Li Xiaole continued to ask Wagner to contact the actors in "Iron Man", hoping to retain all the outstanding actors in the original version as much as possible.

Actor: Iron Man, Tony Stark - Tom Cruise;

Actress Pepper - British actress Gwyneth Paltrow;

Obadiah Stein - Sylvester Stallone;

S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury, black movie star Samuel L. Jackson;

S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson-Clark Greg;

Air Force Colonel Rhodes - Terrence Howard;

and the cameo female reporter Li Xiaole played the heroine of the now popular "Vampire Diaries" Kristen Stewart.

After finalizing all the actors, Li Xiaole looked at this cast list, and also took a deep breath, and suddenly had an unreal feeling, this lineup is a earth-shaking change compared to the small fight of "Life Remote Control", every role is a top Hollywood actor, even the cameo Kristen Stewart is a popular star, much stronger than the original lineup.
