Chapter 40: Iron Armor and Steel Fist

Nothing to say all the way, when they came to the studio in the art district, Zhou Yi and his entourage entered the work area and found that Director Zhao and others were still working in the studio, without resting from work, and the action director Huang Huacheng and the art director Rong Lao were there, and the people were quite complete.

Many actors are also there, and it seems that everyone is very busy and serious about their work.

The building has indeed been completed, and everyone is now in the building.

Now there is no matter of Zhong Suiren, he is done, and he can take a vacation to rest.

Zhou Yi said hello to everyone very casually, everyone was very familiar, so there was no need to be polite, and then Zhou Yi took his sister to talk to Director Zhao.

"Director Zhao, you are still working, it's so late, don't you rest?"

"It's okay, filming is like this, I'm very busy, I'm used to it. Now we have finished filming some interior scenes, and the opening scene of Chongxiao Tower has been completed, but we still have to try to shoot some scenes first, and some scenes have to be run in again. ”

"No wonder they're all here, they want to train and play!"

"Actors who have a scene have to come to the training. Boss, if you don't have a play at night in the future, you have to take time to come over. ”

"I know, that's for sure."

chatted with Director Zhao, and Zhou Yi asked about the design of the play, which was what he was most concerned about.

Action director Huang Huacheng and director Rong also came over to speak.

Huang Huacheng said that the action design is almost there, and now some of the scattered scenes in front of him are properly designed, absolutely exciting, and they are definitely no worse than the fighting scenes of "Five Poison Gate", which has passed the acceptance of Director Zhao.

Director Zhao did agree that the design could be qualified this time, which is really good.

Now only the fight scenes of Armageddon remain, and some details still need to be carefully crafted.

Zhou Yi's statement last time gave you a lot of inspiration.

Nowadays, everyone's design ideas are more active, there are always new ideas, and everyone runs in and chooses, and it is estimated that it will be completed soon.

In this way, Zhou Yi was relieved.

And when he doesn't have a scene at night, he can also come over and participate in the design, so it's no problem.

After chatting with everyone, Zhou Yi didn't disturb Director Zhao and their work, and went over to see the situation of the actors. Zhou Yi noticed that Cheng Dakui was playing with a prop, wearing it on his hand, comparing and dating, it seemed to be a fist glove, but the design was very magnificent, similar to the "Iron Armor Steel Fist". In fact, Cheng Dakui is not playing, he is obviously experimenting with props and practicing movements.

Zhou Yi walked over curiously and asked, "Brother Da Kui, what are you playing?" What is this? ”

"Haha! Boss! It's a lot of fun. Look! ”

Cheng Dakui took off the "Iron Armor Steel Fist", showed it to Zhou Yi like a treasure, and introduced: "On the surface, this fist is made of steel, like an iron armor steel fist, but it is actually a dye, not real steel. Look out there, there's an external trap where you can connect a double hook. He handed the iron armor steel fist to Zhou Yi to hold, and then took a pair of double-hook props from the side, and with a click, it was just right to jam the card slot and connect it outside.

Zhou Yi held the iron armor and steel fist, and felt that the weight was not heavy, it was really not a steel product, but it was really beautifully made and very realistic.

At this time, seeing that the beautiful double hook could be connected outside, Zhou Yi couldn't help but be very surprised.

This combo item is simply murderous!

"Wow! This thing is so ingenious! ”

"It looks scary, it's scary!"

Tang Yan and Xi Wei next to them were very curious, and couldn't help but touch them, very interested.

"Why is it designed like that?"

Cheng Dakui introduced at this time.

"When this ironclad steel fist was filming, what the audience saw on the screen was not an external parting hook here, but it was made with post-production special effects, and a pair of parting hooks could pop out from this ironclad steel fist, click, click, swish, and it came out." Cheng Dakui is very funny, and he also uses various onomatopoeia to describe it, is it because he is afraid that everyone's IQ is in arrears and he can't understand it?

"Wow!"

Tang Yan and Xi Wei were amazed, they can imagine that kind of picture, it is really good.

But how does Zhou Yi think that this seems to be a mechanical magic modified martial arts version of Wolverine's claws?

It's really interesting!

"It's a combination of Iron Fist and Parting Hook, it's really cool, it's really fun!"

Cheng Dakui said with a smile: "I'm playing the god hand great sage Deng Che!" This is the real God Hand Great Sage! ”

"Haha!" This is the ironclad steel fist version of the Great Sage!

Everyone laughed and praised it, thinking that this prop was indeed beautifully designed, and it was ingenious, unique, and very attentive.

The two girls Tang Yan next to them were indeed amazed and full of praise.

Tang Yan couldn't help but play with it twice and play with it twice.

This is just a movie prop, there is no danger, otherwise Zhou Yi would never let his sister play around.

"Who designed this? It's wonderful. Zhou Yi asked curiously.

"I heard that it was designed by a new young prop master in our company, he is a master of machinery, I don't know much about it, but Director Rong and they must know." Cheng Dakui introduced, and it happened that Director Rong and Huang Huacheng also came over.

They saw that Zhou Yi was very interested in these things, so they came over to take a look at the situation.

Director Rong introduced: "These props are all designed by Cai Ziliang, a young prop master we recruited. Xiao Cai is a genius who plays with machinery, and he really designs it well. There's some fun stuff over there! Let's go over and see. ”

At this time, Gao Song and Lu Yifeng had just finished training a group of opponents with the martial arts group, and they ran over to join in the fun. The opponents of the two of them have a lot of plays, the black demon fox against the flower butterfly, the demon knife against the silver gun, there are several games, and the training is usually very hard.

At this time, Director Rong asked Lu Yifeng to untie his dart bag and show it to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi had already noticed that Lu Yifeng's waist was wrapped around a mechanical combination dart bag, which was very novel and chic, with a circle of props and butterfly darts inserted on it. Hua Butterfly Hua Chong played by Lu Yifeng is a master of darts and is good at darts, of course he needs this kind of thing.

Lu Yifeng smiled and untied the dart bag and showed it to Zhou Yi.

"It's really interesting, it's fun."

"It's a novelty!"

Zhou Yi took it, took a closer look, and felt that this prop was even cooler and more handsome than the dart bag of the villain killer Zhang Chi in the previous life "Slaying the Wolf (2)", which was really exciting. This is a belt-style mechanical dart bag, which can be filled with butterfly darts in one circle, and also has its own dart ejection device. Could there have been such a thing in ancient times? But don't delve into action movies, as long as the scenes are exciting, it's naturally good to be innovative.

Why couldn't the Song Dynasty have a master of mechanical manufacturing?

You can even build a towering tower full of traps!

Xiangyang Wangfu has a master of building Chongxiao Tower, can't he make a mechanical belt dart bag?

This is still quite logical. It doesn't matter if it is historical or not, as long as it is logical.

Huang Huacheng introduced some information to Zhou Yi at this time.

According to his design, this mechanical dart bag will be used until the final battle, which can surprise the audience and create a sense of novelty.

During the Armageddon, the shot of Hua Chong flying butterfly darts will be very exciting, cool and handsome.

And this design is very logical to the plot.

Huang Huacheng specifically mentioned that there was a plot in front of him where the black demon fox Zhihua and Hua Chong met for the first time in the Zhaoxian Hall of King Xiangyang, and Zhihua touched all Hua Chong's darts closely. The plot of this "personal dart" is very exciting, and it vividly reflects the uninhibited uninhibited intellectualization.

Of course Zhou Yi remembers, he wrote it himself!

Since Hua Chong was once intellectualized as a thief, how could he not be guarded against it? Then, as a guest of the palace, he asked the craftsmen of the palace to create a new mechanical dart bag with fixed butterfly darts, which is a logical plot. Mom doesn't have to worry about my darts being stolen by thieves anymore. This is the origin of this mechanical dart bag, which is very in line with the logic of the plot.

Of course, in order to match this wonderful prop, the script has to be slightly revised here.

Director Zhao has already contacted the three screenwriters, and there is no problem in this regard, and it will be corrected soon.

There will be a specific embodiment of this plot in the script, and there will also be a flowery show-off dialogue explanation, so it's okay. During the filming process, it is common to change the script, and when you encounter a good idea, you have to change the script.

The screenwriters all understand, it's acceptable, and they will naturally cooperate, no problem.

At the end of the film, Hua Chong will use this cool technique of mechanized catapult darts.

But in the early stage of the film, the shooting technique of the magic hand will be used to shoot the butterfly dart.

Zhou Yi understands that this shooting technique is to imitate the technique of dealing playing cards. On the surface, you can't see the dart in your hand, but as soon as you turn your wrist, the dart has already appeared in your hand, but it is actually sandwiched between your fingers, just like a magic master doing magic, which is very novel and beautiful.

There have been many such shots in some action movies and gambling movies in previous lives.

Like the ending of "Across the Seas", poker masters vs. Leslie Cheung and Chow Yun-fat, there was a scene like this when they first appeared, which looked cool and dazzling. It's a pity that this kind of shooting method was not maintained later, and it was a little simpler.

Huang Huacheng has no problem designing the play like this, he still has a lot of ideas.

Zhou Yi will also respect the design of these professionals.

In fact, the fight scenes of the old work of "Rushing to the Sky Tower" in the previous life were not filmed like this at all, after all, the original work was at the level of the 80s, and there were no such things at all. Zhou Yi obviously won't refer to those outdated plays, let alone say it, it's meaningless.

Shooting like this now, I don't know how many grades better than the old works in my previous life.

Everyone talked and laughed, and they were looking forward to the fight scenes of this film.

Gao Song and the others all feel that many aspects of the play design of "Rushing to the Sky Tower" are very novel and novel, which matches the overall artistic style of "The Rushing Tower", and the surprising thing is of course much stronger than "Five Poison Gates". The mechanism in Chongxiao Tower is novel, and the play is also novel.

This film is a miracle and a surprise!

However, Gao Song said with a smile: "Your villains are designed so fiercely, and it is a parting hook of the iron armor and steel fist combination, and it is a mechanical dart bag catapult dart, how can we win with decency?" Everything that looks cool is on your side. ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh and burst into laughter.

Lu Yifeng joked: "The vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of a hero." In this way, the black demon fox's ability to turn the tide can be shown by its intelligence. ”

Zhou Yi also joked: "Actually, these things are really only suitable for villains, so novel and good-looking, it can highlight the strength of decency." In many movies, the skills of the villain are highlighted in this way. If a decent master uses these things, it won't look good. ”

Director Rong nodded, "These are the designs of the evil sect masters. ”

Everyone is just joking, and they all understand this truth.

The villain is surprisingly brilliant, and the decency must be upright.

Just like in the two "Slaying the Wolf" in the previous life, the villain was beaten with a cool knife hand, the first Donnie Yen beat the short knife hand with a throwing stick, and Wu Jing beat the flying knife hand with a crutch in the second part, all of which are more orthodox ways of playing, only the villain will be surprisingly brilliant and awe-inspiring.

Another example is Ikowues's fight against many villains in "Raid (2)", basically empty-handed, while the villains have everything, hammer mace, baseball iron rod, all kinds of machetes, and finally the tiger claw knife, killers come out one after another, which can be described as a variety of tricks.

In today's "Chongxiao Tower", Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, also has a variety of tricks: the ironclad and steel fist combination of the god hand and the great sage Deng Che's parting hook is extremely powerful and strange; The mechanical catapult butterfly knife of the flower butterfly flower chong can even play the bizarre effect of butterflies dancing in the sky and flying knives, plus three combined spears, long-range attack and close combat, heads-up group fighting, all fearless, tactical matching, infinite power; Finally, there is the exquisite heavy-duty dragon stick of Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, who won by force, which is simply domineering and domineering in the world.

This is equivalent to the gathering of rocket artillery, submachine guns and heavy tanks.

The various blade battles of various cold weapons are a major attraction of this film that is different from the close hand-to-hand combat of "Five Poison Gate".

In fact, if the audience is smart, when they see that Xiao Zhuge Shen Zhongyuan has no evil tricks, he is obviously a decent undercover agent. As for the intellectualization of the black demon fox, there is no need to say much about the obvious infernal affairs. Although there are some small tricks on the side of the five rats on the Sky Island, they are all juggling in nature, not cool and trendy enough, mainly using some strange tricks and tricks to crack the mechanism of Chongxiaolou.

On the decent side, the brocade mouse Bai Yutang uses a sword, and the black demon fox Zhihua uses a knife, don't look at their nicknames are fox squirrels and the like, but the combination of swords and swords is obviously a dignified and righteous means.

When it comes to these, everyone can say that the head is the way, and the tongue is lotus.

Cheng Dakui reminded with a smile: "Don't forget, there is also the royal palace treasure 'Peacock Feather' over there!" ”

Zhou Yi nodded and said, "That's right!" Peacock Feathers must be very good. ”

Gao Song smiled bitterly: "That thing is just bluffing, and it can't really be used." ”

Zhou Yi laughed and said, "It's good to be able to scare it." By the way, how's that thing designed? ”

Director Rong said: "The Peacock Feather is being designed, which is nothing more than to make a beautiful and unique appearance. Xiao Cai is doing it, it is estimated that it is almost there, and it will definitely not delay the shooting. After all, when this prop is used, it must be the end of the film, and it will definitely not be delayed. ”

Zhou Yi nodded and said, "That's good." ”

chatting for a while, the actors will continue to train with the martial arts group, but Zhou Yi has to wait for his classmates and has his own affairs, so he will not participate for the time being.

Tang Yan and Xi Wei, accompanied by Teng Tiangang, went to see the training of the martial arts group.

Here, Zhou Yi took the opportunity to communicate with Director Rong a few more words, mainly to talk about Cai Ziliang, a rookie props master.

Such talents must be valued by the company and must not be ignored.

During the conversation, Zhou Yi specifically mentioned that like these behind-the-scenes personnel of the crew, everyone's special contributions, such as Cai Ziliang's very brilliant prop design, must be specifically recorded. At the end of the film's release in the future, the company will definitely take out a part of the box office revenue for internal dividends and reward for meritorious deeds. For the behind-the-scenes personnel who have made special contributions, the company will definitely give heavy rewards, and in this regard, it will definitely not be stingy.

Zhou Yi said with a smile: He is definitely not the kind of stingy boss who treats employees harshly.

Director Rong smiled and nodded, and praised Zhou Yi's statement, believing that this is the open-mindedness of being a boss, which is very good and can enhance the cohesion, centripetal force and creativity of the company's employees. Employees will definitely be more loyal to the company.

Sometimes money can really inspire innovation and make employees more motivated to innovate. Otherwise, you won't get much money every time, and who still has the mental motivation to engage in innovative design? Probably just messing around every time.

In this case, of course, it is necessary to prevent it from happening.

Zhou Yi even mentioned that special talents should be given special rewards, and creative talents should be rewarded for creativity.

The benefits that these talents bring to the company are certainly far greater than these rewards.

You know, a novel idea has the potential to save a movie, it may bring some highlights, increase a lot of box office, increase a lot of topicality of the film, and increase a lot of opportunities for hype.

Just like the prop designs made by Cai Ziliang in this film, they are very brilliant, very creative, and very topical, which can not only attract fans and audiences, but also promote the film.

The company's managers must see this and must give fair rewards.

Director Zhou Yi and Director Rong took the opportunity to have a long talk.

In Zhou Yi's view, if the company can't retain talents, there are generally two reasons. One is that talents feel that they are always not respected by everyone in the company, cannot be valued by supervisors, and are not recognized by their bosses, so they are unhappy and feel wronged. One is that the money is not in place. Talents feel that their efforts have not been duly rewarded, and they have earned too little, so they are naturally unhappy.

Zhou Yi believes that if the company wants to retain talents, these two mistakes must not be made.

Director Rong agrees with Zhou Yi's idea that in order to retain these outstanding behind-the-scenes talents, it is indeed necessary to work harder, especially the bonuses must be in place.

The owner was very right in his thinking.

In fact, these are Zhou Yi's real thoughts, not pretending to be generous. In his opinion, there is really no need to get all the money into his own pocket. That kind of stingy boss may gain momentary benefits and short-term benefits, but in the long run, the gains will definitely outweigh the losses, because if he can't retain talents, he won't be able to keep his interests, and sooner or later he will be finished. Talent is the most important thing.

Make two more movies, you have everything, why bother with that little money.

Don't look at Zhou Yi who is sometimes very stingy, but the money that should be spent will definitely be spent, and he is definitely not a miser.
