Chapter 47: The Road Ahead
When Ke Zihua arrived home, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning.
Su Luo and Liu Qianwei were not at home, but they posted a note on the door, telling him that the two of them had gone out shopping and would not be back until the afternoon.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw dozens of shoe boxes in the foyer, they were all stacked up to save space, and a row of half-person-high shoe boxes were placed in the foyer, which was still a very spectacular sight.
The kitchen was also full of rice cookers, three rice cookers for cooking, and more pots and pans than I could count, and the big drawers that used to be empty were now filled with all kinds of spices and strange things.
"It's like home."
The changes in the family made Ke Zihua very happy, although he was busy all night, he didn't feel very tired now, so he planned to survive the day and stick to it until the night before going to sleep.
After washing his face with cold water, Ke Zihua came to the living room, he planned to follow Robert's example and enjoy the feeling of home.
Now the living room looks very warm.
The old-fashioned cowhide sofa, with a few cushions neatly arranged, no longer looks hard.
There is also a set of blue and white porcelain tea sets on the coffee table in front of him, and there is a fruit bowl full of fruits next to it, and next to the fruit bowl is a small bamboo basket containing a variety of different dried fruits.
Walnuts, almonds, pine nuts, chestnuts, pumpkin seeds, etc., are very complete.
Ke Zihua grabbed a handful of fried pine nuts, and they slammed into it, this thing tasted with a pine fragrance, Ke Zihua liked it very much.
What surprised him the most was that on the cabinet under the TV, there was also a vase full of flowers and an oval fish tank, in which several red and bright anchovy goldfish were swimming leisurely.
I haven't had such a warm feeling for a long time, Ke Zihua put down the pine nuts in his hand, and then turned on the TV to watch the show, and soaked himself in a pot of Biluochun with great interest.
After changing several channels, I finally found a program I was interested in, and a Chinese TV station was broadcasting Bruce Lee's movie "Raptors Across the River".
Although Bruce Lee is not the first person to create kung fu movies, it is the first time that he has shown kung fu movies that represent Chinese symbols in front of audiences all over the world.
This is a movie completely written, directed and acted by Bruce Lee, in Ke Zihua's view, this "Raptors Across the River" represents Bruce Lee's highest achievement in film creation, and it is also a movie with the most Bruce Lee characteristics.
In the film, he not only showed his strength, but also played with various weapons such as short sticks, nunchucks, darts, etc., and also left the most classic scene of kicking the electric light.
From the perspective of kung fu viewing, this movie has reached a realm that is difficult to surpass, and it can be called a classic among classics!
Of course, although the plot seems a bit old-fashioned now, who will pay attention to the plot when watching Bruce Lee movies? As long as there is him, as long as there is his kung fu, it is enough!
The fight scene in the Colosseum at the end of the film is the best part of the whole movie, and it is also the first time in the history of Hong Kong Island cinema that it was filmed in Europe.
Moreover, it is said that at the beginning, the two karate champions in the film were not convinced and did not agree to be defeated by Bruce Lee in the film.
Even if it's a movie, it's definitely not good!
So, Bruce Lee invited them to the suburbs and had a point-to-point "competition".
As a result, it only took a few rounds for Bruce Lee to easily defeat them, forcing them to bow their heads and willingly cooperate with the performance.
In this set of fight scenes, Bruce Lee did not use any shots to edit, but directly used medium and long shots to shoot the entire fight process.
This kind of shooting technique can not only show the real fight scenes, but also show the demeanor of the actors to the greatest extent, and has also been imitated by later kung fu films, becoming one of the typical symbols of Chinese kung fu films.
"If the Oscars also have an action director award, I'm afraid he will be the first Chinese to win this award, right?"
After watching the movie, Ke Zihua fell into deep thought, he thought of not only Bruce Lee, but also Jackie Chan, who is currently on fire at the moment, and he is the successor of kung fu movies after Bruce Lee.
Like Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan has also conquered audiences around the world with his kung fu movies, and has countless fans all over the world, even many Hollywood superstars are his fans.
Although Bruce Lee's film career is short, his real kung fu movies have fascinated countless people.
Unlike him, JackieChan takes the route of kung fu comedy. In his films, audiences will not only see the fierce fights, but will also be amused by his witty and humorous performances.
"The fights are fierce but not violent, and the performances are funny but not vulgar."
This is the biggest and most iconic feature of JackieChan's films.
Thinking of these, Ke Zihua naturally thought of himself from the two of their predecessors.
Compared with the two predecessors, what are his characteristics? What path will he take?
Could it be that he has been working as a stuntman, or as an action director, and then wandering between major sets, doing the most dangerous work like in his previous life, but not even having a chance to show his face in the movie?
Even so, he won't have much to live, because with the gradual development of special effects technology, they will face an even more awkward position as stuntmen.
Generous salary? Still dreaming of winning an international award? None of this is possible!
If there will never be movie special effects in this world, Ke Zihua believes that he will definitely get a huge salary comparable to that of a first-line superstar, and even he is sure that in the near future, there will be stuntmen on the podium of the star-studded Oscars.
But he knows that these are unrealistic, and in less than ten years, the living space of stuntmen will be compressed to the extreme!
Think about it, as long as you put on a few poses, even a weak woman who doesn't know anything can make a dazzling action movie.
And what is left for the stuntmen is only the hardest, most tiring, and most dangerous work.
It's only in this kind of shot that some stuntmen will be used, and their names will change, they are not even actors, people call them action doubles!
Shortly before Ke Zihua's rebirth, a good friend of his called him ecstatically, saying that he had received an invitation to a Hollywood blockbuster, and that it would be his best opportunity to work with many idol-level action actors.
But a few months later, Ke Zihua received the news that he died unexpectedly, a young man in his prime, a star of hope with very good kung fu and character, died because of an undeserved mistake, and even the pension was less than 30,000 US dollars!
This is the real state of existence of stuntmen more than ten years later!
Every time he thinks of this, Ke Zihua feels heartache, not only because of the decline of this industry, but also for those peers, but also for himself
But what is the reason for such a situation?
He feels that there is nothing wrong with the stuntmen, and there is nothing wrong with the strong rise of special effects, which are the only way for the development of the film.
If you can only be a stuntman, if you don't know anything about acting or filmmaking, if you can't adapt to the development of the times, then you will eventually be eliminated by this era.
Thinking of these, Ke Zihua strengthened his belief, "I must go out of my own way!" ”
"But, where is my way?"
"A traditional kung fu movie? Or is it a kung fu comedy? Or go for a big Hollywood-style action movie? ”
"So, what advantage do I have over the others? Or what are the shortcomings in me? ”
Thinking of these questions, Ke Zihua gradually fell into contemplation, and he felt that he had to choose a path that suited him in order to go further.
In the fiercely competitive Hollywood, there is never a lack of passion, and there will always be countless losers, Ke Zihua doesn't want to blindly eat the old book, so sooner or later he will be brutally eliminated.
It can be said that the current Ke Zihua, in addition to having his own unique features in stunts, is completely a beginner in other fields.
Even if he became an action director this time, it was only because of John's appreciation and support, he didn't know if he would have such an opportunity after filming this film.
Do you want to be an actor?
Ke Zihua smiled bitterly, "Maybe, if I studied this major in college, I would have the opportunity to be an actor in the future." ”
He doesn't have much desire for this profession, he is born a person who can't perform and doesn't like to perform.
Camera? Montage? Post-production zuò?
Ke Zihua shook his head again, and ruled out these thoughts, he did know some relevant knowledge, but if he wanted to make a career out of this, I am afraid it would still be very difficult, and he didn't like to use all his energy on it.
Producer?
Forget it, Ke Zihua is not a particularly sociable person, rather than letting him deal with those scenes all day long, it is better to do his stunts honestly.
Finally, when the word "director", which he had never dared to think of before, appeared in his mind, his eyes shone brightly for the first time!
"I think I'll be able to do it!"
If it weren't for this experience, Ke Zihua would not have discovered that he was actually a director.
Thinking about those scenes now makes him excited!
God did not give him special abilities beyond ordinary people, nor did he let him be born a genius of acting, let alone let him have a prominent family affair and squandered wealth, but gave him a chance to discover himself and recognize himself!
It was this collaboration with John that taught him how to be an action director, and inspired his own potential and love for the industry.
"So, from now on, I'm going to work in this direction!"
