The day after Chen Xueqian arrived in South Korea, he ushered in several Chinese actors he had hired before. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

One of them is called Zhang Jing, who is not well known to the public at this time, but in the industry, he has already emerged at this time. This time, Chen Xueqian invited him to come and star in this movie.

Another actor invited by Chen Xueqian is the veteran action star Zhou Billy, who has been active in the Hong Kong film industry for a long time. For this star who has won a world-class kickboxing championship, Chen Xueqian is still very optimistic.

In addition to these two people, the remaining one is Wu Jing, who has already met Chen Xueqian before. After a period of special training, when Chen Xueqian saw the other party again, Wu Jing was a little more fierce than before.

The three of them arrived in South Korea, and the main actors of Chen Xueqian's crew were all there. And Zhang Mengyi, the only heroine in the film, also flew to South Korea after New Year's Day.

When the main actors of the crew arrived, Chen Xueqian gathered the entire crew and began to read the script for the first time.

"For this action movie, my purpose is clear. Revive the influence of Chinese action movies in the international film industry. For the style of the film this time, my request is to be real. You should all know that the movement style I chose this time is CQC, you don't think that hand-to-hand combat is not a Chinese martial art, you must know that Jeet Kune Do, which was founded by Bruce Lee, also incorporates many other schools of kung fu characteristics. What we're trying to do is incorporate Chinese kung fu into hand-to-hand combat. ”

Saying that, Chen Xueqian raised his eyes and glanced around, taking everyone's reactions in his eyes before continuing: "Among you, Zhang Jing and Wu Jing are both experts in a variety of martial arts, while Mr. Zhou's free fighting focuses more on actual combat. I'm here to make the film perfect. ”

After hearing Chen Xueqian's words, Zhang Jing coughed and asked, "Why do we have to use CQC?" I used to be a martial arts instructor in Hollywood, and I feel that foreign audiences still appreciate Chinese kung fu. ”

Regarding Zhang Jing's words, Chen Xueqian smiled slightly: "Maybe there is still some market for Chinese kung fu, but this market must be very narrow. Chinese kung fu can be used as an embellishment to a Hollywood blockbuster, but when you use it as a stand-alone selling point, you will find that it has a small audience in Europe and the United States. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xueqian glanced at Zhang Jing and said with a smile: "In fact, this can be seen from the market reaction of Chinese kung fu films in the United States." It is not alarmist to say that Chinese action movies are declining in international influence. Of course, this is actually not unrelated to the usual routine of Chinese kung fu films. Chinese kung fu movies rarely have a fatal blow, lacking a kind of killing, so they can't fully stimulate the adrenaline of Europeans and Americans. Therefore, I chose to inject the essence of Chinese kung fu in the form of hand-to-hand combat, opening up a new situation for Chinese kung fu films. ”

After listening to Chen Xueqian's words, several action stars present fell into deep thought.

To be honest, for them, they rarely think about problems from such a height as the way out of Chinese kung fu films. More often than not, they are limited to how to play a movie to be good-looking.

Listening to Chen Xueqian's words at this time, they suddenly had a different feeling in their hearts.

There are very few domestic action stars who can still think about their own action style in recent years. And the person who will think about the development direction of Chinese action movies may only be Donnie Yen.

Let's not talk about his personality, just his transformation of Chinese kung fu in the movie can indeed be called one of the few changers.

And Chen Xueqian's practice of not being restricted by the front at all is even higher than them.

In fact, the reason why the movie that Chen Xueqian wanted to plagiarize will achieve unprecedented success in Europe and the United States is precisely because the director of this movie is an Englishman, and in his concept, action movies are not empty shelves for you to show each other back and forth. It's a real punch to the flesh, using the most efficient way to kill the other party, and the only thing he cares about is how to arouse the audience's adrenaline.

And his philosophy almost coincides with Chen Xueqian. Chen Xueqian is also tired of watching traditional Chinese kung fu movies, and he can't die for a long time.

In his opinion, this is simply stupid, the people in those movies are simply brainless, in the face of the siege of dozens of people, the protagonist does not use weapons to solve the battle as quickly as possible, this is simply funny.

With the agreement on the style of the film, Chen Xueqian began to assign roles.

The reason why Chen Xueqian began to assign roles at this time is because he is not very satisfied with the action style of these protagonists. Although he didn't want to copy all the actions of that movie in his previous life.

But if Wu Jing or Zhang Jing are really allowed to play the leading role at this time, he estimates that the deviation will be too big. And after several delays, he looked forward to Wu Jing giving him a surprise.

However, it turns out that it is impossible for a person to be reborn suddenly after a short period of training.

Although after a period of training, Wu Jing's movements are a little more spicy and capable, but there is still a big gap between Chen Xueqian and the kind of fast, accurate, and fatal decisive strikes he wants.

In fact, the fighting style of "Hurricane Rescue" is also this style of close-quarters short-fighting, and Liam Neeson's kung fu foundation at that time was definitely not as good as Wu Jing and others, but the types of these two films are completely different.

"Hurricane Rescue" has very few real fighting moves, and it is basically out of shape. And the main elements of this movie are spy warfare, reconnaissance and even drag racing.

However, the main element that Chen Xueqian is going to shoot now is a fight, so the requirements for the fight scenes are naturally more than a few levels higher.

In the end, Chen Xueqian decided that Billy Zhou would play the role of police captain. And Zhang Jing plays the elder brother of the protagonist, while Wu Jing plays the villain.

As for the protagonist, Chen Xueqian finally decided to play it himself.

In fact, Wu Jing played a great role in making this decision, and during the preparation for this movie, Wu Jing tried many times to imitate Chen Xueqian's actions when he fought him.

However, every time he practiced alone, he could imitate seven or eight points, but once he practiced with others, he found that his movements were completely devoid of the essence of it.

For the reason for this, Wu Jing is actually very clear that if any kind of kung fu wants to really learn and apply, it will definitely take many years of hard work.

If Chen Xueqian posed like an ordinary movie, hung the tightrope and finally edited it to finish, then Wu Jing might still perform that feeling. But it would be unrealistic to feel this way when you're really fighting.

And Wu Jing dares to guarantee that at present, no one in China can perfectly use this fighting style in actual combat.

In this way, in fact, the protagonist of this movie doesn't have to think about it anymore, except for Chen Xueqian himself, he doesn't think twice at all.

If it was an ordinary movie, Wu Jing would never say it even if he thought so in his heart, but he knew that Chen Xueqian's goal was Hollywood, and without a perfect work, it would be impossible for them to be recognized by picky Hollywood.

In this way, he has to think clearly about whether he wants to play the protagonist of a bad movie or the supporting role of a good movie.

In the end, Wu Jing chose the latter!

So he began to lobby Chen Xueqian constantly, hoping that he would play the leading role in this movie himself.

And Chen Xueqian also racked his brains for this protagonist candidate. However, even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't find a suitable protagonist for this movie.

Unless the original protagonist of the movie is found. But after spending so much effort, in the end he made wedding dresses for others, Chen Xueqian was really unwilling.

So in the end, Chen Xueqian agreed to Wu Jing's proposal and personally played the leading role in this movie.

In order to be able to play this role well, Chen Xueqian conducted daily physical training with several leading actors before the crew started filming, and also conducted further in-depth learning of martial arts.

By mid-January, when the movie officially started, Chen Xueqian's weight increased by 10 kilograms, and when he took off his clothes, the angular muscles on his body could make countless women instantly turn into fans.

And his strength has also improved significantly during this time. (To be continued.) )
