Ke Zihua and Bandy chatted and rushed home, but they didn't know that on the other side of the bay at this time, someone was watching his every move.

Canada, inside an ancient castle by the sea in the city of Victoria.

A beautifully dressed girl is sitting on the sofa with great interest, watching a video in her laptop.

Seeing the thrilling place, he couldn't help frowning slightly, clenched his fists, and exclaimed: "Ah! ”

The video is played in the official scene of Ke Zihua's overturning car a week ago.

It wasn't until she saw him get out of the car unharmed that the beautiful girl breathed a sigh of relief and said to herself in a slightly reproachful tone: "How can you do this?" Don't you want to die? ”

Beside her, there stood an old Chinese man with white hair and kind eyebrows, who saw the girl's nervous appearance and interjected: "I don't understand, I am obviously a master of national arts, but I have to do such a thing." ”

"It stands to reason that he shouldn't be short of money now, last time he blackened 10 million Canadian dollars from Luo Tianya, even if he sent 1 million to his father, the rest of the money would be enough for him to spend."

The girl stood up, walked lightly to the window, and quietly looked at the night sky outside the window, as if thinking about something.

After a long while, he said lightly: "Perhaps, he didn't do this for money." ”

When the old man saw her speak, he continued: "The people below reported that Jerry offered him a price of three million dollars, but he did not agree, but put forward several conditions. ”

"I heard that he wanted to improve his treatment and status on the set."

"I think he really wants to make a name for himself in Hollywood."

The girl just listened quietly, and it wasn't until the old man finished speaking that she asked leisurely, "That brother of Koji Watanabe should be about to get off the boat now, right?" ”

Seeing that she was no longer chatting, but asked about serious matters, the old man immediately turned grim and replied respectfully: "Seven young people, according to your orders, our people have mastered the whereabouts of Watanabe Musashi. ”

"At one o'clock in the morning, he would take a smuggling ferry from the western waters of Wen Gehua."

The girl nodded and said in a cold voice: "There is no need for such unruly people to live in this world anymore." ”

The old man sighed and said, "If it weren't for the maintenance of the rules of the alliance, how could the Seven Youths let Koji Watanabe live for so long?" ”

"Since they don't follow the rules, then don't blame us for being ruthless!"

Hearing that the old man brought up the old matter again, the girl said sadly: "The Martial Alliance is the foundation of the Twelve Ancient Martial Families, even if I have monstrous hatred, I can't ignore the alliance's ban." ”

"Fortunately, it didn't make me wait too long, and my brother's killer still died in the ring."

"It's him who helped me avenge the blood of the sea."

Speaking of this, the girl's tone became softer, "Are you going to Hollywood?" Go ahead, I'll protect you. ”

The old man reminded with a wry smile: "Qishao, have you forgotten that his strength probably doesn't need our protection." ”

By what he said, the girl was a little shy, and retorted with a slightly red face: "He is a person who doesn't like trouble, so I want to help him clear these troubles." Besides, even if he doesn't need it, the people around him need it. ”

Looking at the girl's shy appearance, the old man seemed to be dozens of years younger all of a sudden, and a kind smile appeared on his face, "I know, our Fei Fei is the most warm-hearted." ”

The girl's face turned even redder, and she said coquettishly: "Uncle Wang, you laugh at me again." ”

The white-haired old man watched the girl grow up, and after more than ten years of getting along, he has long regarded her as his own child, and the girl has no parents since she was a child, so she relies on him very much.

In fact, their relationship is like that of grandchildren, but as followers of this family, they only laugh like ordinary people when they talk about private matters.

Seeing her look like a little girl again, the old man smiled heartily, "Haha, I just can't figure it out, you obviously have a good impression of some people, why don't you just sue him?" ”

When the girl listened to the old man's words, the smile on her face immediately dimmed, and she said leisurely: "In a year, no matter whether I succeed or not, I will go to him." ”

The old man understood what the girl meant, and his face was suddenly full of sadness, and he said with pity: "Alas, such a heavy burden should not be borne by you, it really hurts you." ”

The girl looked at her firmly and said, "Uncle Wang, you don't have to worry about me, born in such a family, I have long been ready to take on a qiē." ”

When Ke Zihua arrived home, it was already early in the morning, in order not to make noise to Su Luo and Liu Qianwei, he didn't go back to his room, he wanted to deal with it on the sofa in the living room for a night.

But he lay on the couch for a long time, but he could not sleep at all, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he remembered what he had said to John.

"What's the best movie?"

There is no doubt that if you want to develop in Hollywood, you must cater to the mainstream market here.

No matter at any time, there is a very broad market for action movies in Hollywood, and his idea of wanting to make action movies is correct, but the difficulty is what kind of action movies he should make.

"Do you want to make that Hollywood-style boxing action movie?"

Thinking of this thought, Ke Zihua himself felt funny, in this era, Hollywood action movies have not been heavily influenced by Hong Kong films, so the vast majority of action movies, in addition to fierce drag racing and hot gunfight scenes, are only left with boxing-style boring fights.

But generations of audiences, who have watched movies for so many years, have long been tired of such scenes, and if Ke Zihua wants to achieve something in action movies, there are only two ways left.

One is to be able to innovate the existing action routines, just like he made this movie, only by shooting super high-level, or ingenious but wonderful scenes, can attract the audience's attention.

But obviously this road is not easy to follow, and even he does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to innovate every time, or surpass the previous classics.

In Hollywood, adding martial arts moves to movies is more often than just a gimmick.

Although many action movies have listed action director as a regular position, in fact, it is like that, they don't even know what action director means.

The so-called "action director" first appeared in martial arts action movies on Hong Kong Island, which is often referred to as "action design", "martial arts instruction" and "martial arts design".

It is the soul and core of the creation of martial arts action films, that is, the martial arts action is designed into an art form that conforms to the movie table.

However, this does not mean that the action director is only responsible for designing the action, it must also consider many factors such as the entertainment aesthetics of the film, the creation of characters, the narrative plot and the expression of emotions.

In Hollywood, it has become a simple "guiding action".

In this way, the answer Ke Zihua wanted came out, "The best Hollywood-style action movie can't just care about how cool the action is, but also make the action fit the theme of the movie." ”

"Well, I'm going to try to try it in the future, how to really play the role of an action director."

"Perhaps, the real meaning of the so-called action director is not only to make the action scenes look good, but also to conform to the artistic conception of the movie."

Thinking of this, Ke Zihua put together several action scenes he shot and the theme that John wanted to express, and re-examined them in a combination of two.

He found that they had been busy for so long, and had invested countless financial and manpower resources, and some of the action scenes they had worked so hard to shoot were not suitable for this movie!

For example, the parkour I shot at the beginning, such as the two overturned scenes that are so gorgeous that people are intoxicating, they have nothing to do with this movie except for the gorgeous action.

On the contrary, I didn't pay much attention to it at the beginning, and those small scenes fit the theme of the movie very well.

For example, the set of scenes where Kobi was robbed can deeply reflect some problems, which just reflects the rampant and unscrupulous nature of some violent organizations, as well as the helplessness of ordinary citizens in the face of violent organizations.

and Bell's appearance in the mixed residential area, which can be felt from the group shots, the indifference and arrogance of the rich class to the people at the bottom.

Not to mention the treatment of people of color, it is ordinary people with the same skin color and customs as them, who are so dismissive in their eyes.

And then there is the set of drift shots shot at the end, although the previous settings seem a little redundant, but the most important thing is the moment when the car rushes out of the mist, which makes people's feelings get a kind of catharsis all of a sudden.

As if to indicate that after breaking through the layers of fog and conceptual shackles, there will be a smooth road ahead, which is a perfect deepening of the theme, and it is easy to think about something.

These ideas completely opened Ke Zihua's mind, and then he thought of another way, that is, to completely change Hollywood-style action movies and truly integrate martial arts into movies.

That is, to make the kind of action movie that is dominated by kung fu and can be accepted by Hollywood.

Like Bruce Lee's fist-to-flesh real kung fu fighting movies, or Jackie Chan's kung fu comedy-style action movies, these two predecessors have achieved unprecedented success.

"Oh, by the way, there is also a more surreal form of expression, that is, like Brother Jie's "Huang Feihong", using acrobatics and unreasonable forms to show the aesthetic conception of Chinese kung fu."

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and The Matrix are doing a good job in this regard, and I have to learn from them."

"This can be seen that Master Yuan really understands the essence of this, and if I have the opportunity to ask him for advice, I will definitely benefit a lot!"

"By the way, Brother Hong's film is actually very good, it has both a sense of realism and a sense of humor like JackieChan, and the results are very good."

"There is also Liu Jialiang's Southern School Kung Fu film, a discerning person can get the true biography of Huang Feihong at a glance, if you have the opportunity, you can consult with these seniors, it is really a great blessing in life."

The more Ke Zihua thought about it, the more excited he became, all the previous tiredness and exhaustion were swept away, and he simply sat up, his eyes shining to sort out some messy thoughts.

It was from this time that Ke Zihua's mind arose an idea that had far-reaching significance for later generations of Hollywood.
