Thursday's classes are always relaxed, and mornings are political and physical. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, Zhou Yi is still very busy.

Director Xu Qianye came to the school at noon, and he had some ideas to talk to Zhou Yi about the film "One-Armed Knife". When it comes to specific work, it is inconvenient to communicate with mobile phones and computers, and it is not clear to say, so it is better to have a face-to-face interview.

Zhou Yi is usually busy with classes and can't leave school, so Director Xu came over in person, didn't put on a show, and was very active.

In terms of work, everyone is very serious and enthusiastic.

The two sides still met outside the school. If you talk on campus and are seen by your classmates, it's too ostentatious.

As a big director in the industry, Xu Qianye must of course pay attention to the influence.

After lunch, Zhou Yi and his sister confessed, and then rushed to Chongxiao Tower, or book a box first.

They want to discuss work matters, involving scripts, and they don't want to be heard by idle people, nor do they want to be noticed on the first floor, and they don't want to be disclosed by entertainment reporters now, so it's better to be quiet on the second floor. Zhou Yi doesn't care about spending a little more.

Not long after, Director Xu Qianye came in a hurry, and Zhou Yi personally picked him up.

The two discussed something in the box.

There was no one else but the two of them.

Director Xu didn't bring an assistant over.

Since the last time we met in Chongxiao Tower, Director Xu has been busy for a week, and he has a lot of experience in studying the script. He went straight to the point, did not be polite with Zhou Yi, and directly put forward a very creative idea.

"Zhou Yi, I have finished reading the script of "One-Armed Knife", it is indeed a very good low-cost script, very creative. In my opinion, in this script, there are two main supporting roles that are very important, and it can even be said that they determine the grade of this play. Zhou Yi knows who I'm talking about! Director Xu also wanted to test Zhou Yi's knowledge of the script first.

Although the script was created by Zhou Yi, it does not mean that he has a deep understanding, otherwise what would the director do?

The director will definitely have a process of re-creation.

Even if you shoot the same script, different directors will shoot completely different film and television works.

"Director Xu is talking about the hero Qi Rufeng and the villain long-armed gods and demons!" Zhou Yi is easy to deal with.

"That's right. It's exactly one positive and one negative. Xu Qianye nodded with a smile, very satisfied with Zhou Yi's answer.

"What does Director Xu think?" Zhou Yi asked.

"In our play, the heroes and heroines are all young stars, like Fang Gang, Xiaoman, Qi Pei, according to Zhou Yi's idea, he plays the leading role, Xiaoman is played by Tang Yan, and Qi Pei is played by Qiu Cao, who is a Chinese opera. The design of this lineup is good, the actors are all good-looking, and they are all professional, the acting skills are at least good, and the fame is acceptable. Zhou Yi won't talk about it, Qiu Cao has played the supporting role of "Assassin Nie Yinniang", and after your TV series "Flower Season" is broadcast, it is estimated that Tang Yan will also be a little famous. There is no problem with this high-value cast. Then some supporting roles should invite powerful or acting old-timers to press the formation, and they must be able to control the field. ”

Xu Qianye talked about his views in detail, which happened to coincide with Zhou Yi.

"Director Xu, I think the same way. But we don't have such a suitable old actor in Zhengdong now. First of all, you must be able to play, you must have acting skills, you must be old, at least you must be able to make up and be old, such an actor is not easy to choose. Is there a suitable candidate in Director Xu's mind? Zhou Yi asked.

"Zhou Yi, I have an idea, let's not invite the old actors who are still active in the circle, but invite those former action superstars who are in a semi-retired state, and invite the older generation of action superstars. Although they are old, they still have fame. Do you understand what I mean? ”

"Paying tribute to the seniors?" Zhou Yi reacted quickly.

"Haha!"

Director Xu Qianye smiled heartily and said, "Zhou Yi is indeed smart and clever. You want to! Based on the good results of your first two films, in the third film, you will play the leading role, and then invite the industry old-timers to cheer you on, which is not only good for the box office, but especially good for your reputation in the industry. Our Huaxia is to pay attention to passing on the torch, passing on the torch, inheriting in an orderly manner, and respecting teachers, this is your Yanying's school motto. There are also sayings like 'get on the horse and give it a ride'. You have to give your seniors a chance to support you, and it will be very beneficial in the future. ”

Zhou Yi smiled calmly: "Of course I understand this truth." I'm also willing to work with the old-timers. But with my current status, I'm afraid it's useless for me to ask for it myself. People don't pay attention to me. ”

This is true, it is true, even if you have a military background, it will not play a big role, and you can't say it when you see people. What's more, since the birth of the umbrella club, the era of defeating Liansheng and using a pistol to force other people's heads to film is long gone.

No matter how powerful you are, people can't afford to mess with you, but they can ignore you. No one can do whatever they want.

Since you are in the circle, you have to follow the rules of the game.

Zhou Yi's status refers to the circle, not the outside.

In the circle, he is a rising star, how to invite people?

Xu Qianye smiled confidently: "Don't worry, Zhou Yi, of course I will invite you." ”

Zhou Yi just said that, in fact, this is what he meant.

Invite the older generation to come forward, only big directors have this face. Even if a big director invites him, he has to rely on the relationship between his parents. Some actors became famous by filming Director Xu's father's films. Even if you are old now, you have to give face.

Zhou Yixiao asked, "Director Xu has a goal?" ”

Xu Qianye nodded and said, "Of course." The role of the hero Qi Rufeng, I plan to invite Mr. Tian Guofeng, a former swordsman, to play it. The old gentleman's appearance and temperament are very decent, very upright, not angry and arrogant, deeply hidden, and the sword is unique, playing this role, no problem. He is an old drama bone, and he can also play in literary drama. As for the long-armed gods and demons, this character is the ultimate villain, and it is indeed very important. Any drama where the villain is not brilliant is basically not successful. Presumably Zhou Yi has deep feelings, just like the "Chongxiao Tower" you filmed in Zhengdong, which is still in theaters now, and I have also seen it, and it is also the villain you who is very outstanding, so you have this kind of good box office results. ”

Zhou Yi nodded again and again, understanding this truth.

Director Xu didn't deliberately pat himself on the back, he didn't need to praise Zhou Yi, he just told the truth.

He continued: "In order to make the role of the long-armed god and demon shine, I plan to invite former action superstar Mr. Yang Xianfu to play it. ”

"Oh? Mr. Yang Xianfu? I have heard his name in the Huaxia Guoshu Museum, and he is a master of Tongbei boxing in our country. ”

Zhou Yi had heard of this old Mr. Yang. He is not familiar with the showbiz, but he is very familiar with the national art circle.

Director Xu said: "Yes, it is Mr. Yang Xianfu, who is indeed a master of the older generation of Tongbei Boxing, known as the 'Long-armed God Ape', and Tongbei Boxing originally has the cooperation of Tongbei Knife, with eight steps and thirteen knife techniques, and it is naturally no problem to perform knife skills." ”

Zhou Yi nodded and said: "I know that the eight steps and thirteen knives are composed of eight kinds of footwork, thirteen knife points, thirty-six scattered moves and knife sets. ”

Director Xu smiled: "Not bad! As for why this old gentleman was chosen? ”

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Because his arms are long!" ”

Director Xu nodded and said, "Not bad!" It's the length of an arm. Our character is called a long-armed god and demon, and obviously he has to have long arms, so that the knife technique is more distinctive. Especially the long arm against the one-armed, it seems that the two long arms have the advantage, but in the end they will be overturned by the one-armed. This is the core idea of our film. On the surface, the creative idea of this script is a 'golden knife lock', but in fact, it is a superficial thing, which is technical, not the focus of the play. The core idea that truly reflects the strength of play design is the point of 'long arm to one arm'. ”

Zhou Yi nodded again and again, feeling that Director Xu had indeed studied the script thoroughly during this time.

These points will not be clearly written in the script, and the director will have to study them himself.

If you can't even see these connotations, you are confused, can you still make this drama well?

Zhou Yi is very satisfied with Director Xu.

This is also a hidden test.

Now Director Xu has successfully passed the test.

He took a sip of tea at this time, moistened his throat, and continued: "But it is indeed rare to see actors with long arms in our circle, after all, everyone is a normal person, even if it is an actor who plays Liu Bei, it is impossible to really have both ears and shoulders and hands over his knees. Besides, that kind of special actor can't act either. I think about it, the professional action actors with long arms in our circle, the ones who can play this kind of difficult play, and who can afford the role of long-armed gods and demons, are our 'long-armed god ape' Mr. Yang Xianfu. ”

Zhou Yi was indeed very interested.

"Of course it would be nice if I could really invite this old Mr. Yang."

"Zhou Yi rest assured, I will personally come to the door to invite. Both old gentlemen have acted in my father's films before, and there is always a love of incense. I came in person, or I called my father, and it was basically done. ”

Zhou Yi nodded again and again, very satisfied.

If there is no such deep connection, it is no fun for Zhou Yi to invite him himself. Do people know who you are? is so old, and it's not your parents, why do you play a supporting role, why do you come to support you?

Even if you want to pass the torch from generation to generation, you have to have that seniority and capital.

But when Director Xu came forward, it was easy to speak.

This is the ability of a great director, not only to shoot well, but also to have a deep relationship in the circle.

Xu Qianye's director has a family history, and he has no money in this regard.

With these former action superstars on the scene, the box office of this film is definitely guaranteed.

At least Zhou Yi's small-budget action movie trilogy can end perfectly and there will be no mistakes.

The combination of the old and the new, passed down from generation to generation, many Chinese people eat this set.

Chinese people like to talk about feelings!

Zhou Yi not only has to subdue people with force, but also convince people with virtue. That's the right way to do it.

Moreover, it is also a propaganda gimmick.

In fact, this movie in the previous life, although at the time, there were not necessarily any superstars, but from the perspective of later generations, it was really a gathering of big names, not to mention the protagonists Wang Yu, Jiao Jiao, Pan Yingzi, just the small supporting roles, many of them were the top masters in the martial arts world later, such as Liu Jialiang, Yuan Heping, Yuan Xiangren, etc., which can be scary when you say it.

Of course, Director Xu didn't know the specifics of his previous life.

But when he made this film in this life, he did exactly the opposite, and he wanted to invite former action superstars and veteran actors in the industry to play with Zhou Yi.

In this way, the grade and quality of the film immediately went up.

Zhou Yi was very satisfied.

The two also chatted specifically and exchanged views with each other.

Director Xu is indeed very satisfied with the creativity of this script created by Zhou Yi and is full of praise. Especially the long-armed vs. one-armed, young and old, it is indeed a very creative idea of playing, unprecedented and amazing.

This kind of creative imagination of playing scenes is unrestrained and eclectic, which really makes Director Xu very admirable.

He originally thought that the fight scene had developed so far, and there had been no play, as if there was nothing to shoot.

But it was precisely Zhou Yi's new small-budget action films this year that gave him a refreshing and wonderful feeling.

There were really no such creative ideas before, and they couldn't be copied, they were all original.

Director Xu realized that the original action movie has not come to an end, and there are still many things that have not been filmed. I used to think that there was nothing to shoot because I couldn't think of it, not because I really didn't have it. He was willing to accept Zhengdong's invitation to direct this small-budget film, and there were also factors in this regard, which was indeed stimulated by his enthusiasm for work, and with a suitable action actor like Zhou Yi, he was willing to take over the directing.

In this way, at least you can ensure that you will not fall into the name of a great director.

If you change a small film, a big director like him will definitely not make it.

It's a pity that a wonderful fight scene like "Long Arm vs. One Arm", the original work in the previous life couldn't be filmed at all, so it can only be named "One-armed Knife" and "Long-armed Gods and Demons", which represent it and let the audience imagine it for themselves, but it's strange that the audience can imagine it by themselves.

The fight scenes that were really filmed in the original work in the previous life can't see the amazing effect at all, without the thunderous and angry roll of the long-armed magic knife, without the cold and desolate of the one-armed magic knife, nothing was filmed. But this can't be blamed on director Zhang Che at that time, and he can't evaluate his predecessors from the perspective of future generations. Everyone understands this. Of course you know everything, but the seniors don't know!

Limited to the very backward technical means in the 60s of the previous life, it was still a set drama at that time, and the actors' fighting strength was not particularly outstanding. And at that time, the Hong Kong style action had indeed not yet developed, and the level of play was indeed very limited, which was no choice. Some brilliant ideas and ideas can only be seen on paper.

But in this world, Zhou Yilai's remake of this classic must shoot the wonderful characteristics of "long arm vs. one-armed", the unique beauty of "magic vs. incompleteness", and the strong contrast of "young and old", so as to create a classic action movie.

From the perspective of this technical characteristics and creative ideas, even Tsui Hark's "Broken Knife" in the previous life cannot be compared in terms of characteristics, it can only be said that the fighting scenes are crazy and violent, and the action actors are more professional, but in terms of characteristics, they are like that, there is nothing surprising, blindly fast, fast, fast, fast,

The audience may be quite cool to watch, but in fact, it is not clear at all.

The box office of the film in the previous life was not high, and in addition to the style problem, the action scenes may not have been widely accepted by the audience at the time. If the action scenes are really that good, no matter what the plot is, even if it is an action scene alone, the box office cannot be so low.

It can only be said that the audience couldn't accept it at that time.

A really good action movie must not only be enjoyable, powerful, fast, and realistic, but also explain the action clearly and let the audience see it clearly, which is really difficult. What if you play fast and the audience can't see clearly?

If there is no excellent action coach, some kung fu masters are prone to make this kind of mistake by themselves, like Donnie Yen in his previous life.

The fight is very fast and enjoyable, but the audience can't see it clearly at all, and the effect is certainly not good.

Later, with excellent action direction, or my own shooting experience improved, the effect was much better. After all, movies are for the audience, and if you can't let the audience see it clearly, no matter how good it is, it's useless.

In terms of creativity, in fact, the original version of "One-Armed Knife" was the most creative.

Of course, Zhou Yi will not let this kind of creativity be like in his previous life, only reflected in the literal, and it must be really filmed.

And Xu Qianye is a real commercial action film director in the industry, with both a professional background, a family background, rich experience, and enough directing talent, especially his eyes like a torch, of course, it is impossible to ignore this unique creativity.

Zhou Yi and Director Xu did talk very speculatively and reached a consensus on action scenes.

After the discussion, Director Xu said goodbye and left, went back to continue work, and prepared the crew.

Zhou Yi wants to go back to the classroom.

The interest in the noon discussion was very high, and now it was past the class time, but in the afternoon it was the "Ethics and Law" class, which was a public class attended by students from all departments, Zhou Yi felt that it didn't matter, and it didn't matter if he delayed a little time.

Sneaking in to the class is that the teacher who teaches this kind of class will not care at all.
