Chapter 26: A Stick to the Sky
In fact, action director Huang Huacheng feels the same way, and he has been very worried about the action design recently, and I don't know how many times he has revised it, but the effect is still not ideal. Sometimes, he really wanted to arrest Zhou Yi and help with the staff, but Zhou Yi was also very busy filming in the TV drama crew, so he couldn't help it. Now that Zhou Yi is finally here, he really wants to hear Zhou Yi's opinion.
He knew that Zhou Yi was the eighth stage of Guoshu, and he was very expert in action design, and he had always had ideas, and he had a lot of good ideas in the last play, so he cared about Zhou Yi's opinion very much, so he naturally asked him to help with a detailed reference.
During the filming period of the TV drama crew, Zhou Yi really thought about it a lot, and he was prepared, so of course he could make some suggestions.
In Zhou Yi's view, the martial arts characteristics in the movie must be closely related to the characters' personalities.
He gave a detailed explanation to the members of the martial arts group on the spot.
For example, the role of the black demon fox intellectualization, he is known as the "black demon fox" on the surface, and he seems to be very cunning and treacherous, but in fact, he is chivalrous, free and uninhibited, upright, and acts fairly. In order to calm the troubled times, he agreed to the promise and helped.
These characteristics must be reflected in his martial arts.
His knife technique can refer to the name in some popular online novels, such as "Jizo Honwan Knife". The Buddha said, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell. This can very well explain why he is willing to go undercover in the Xiangyang Palace and do the things of Infernal Affairs. As the first actor, he has the heart of a bodhisattva, a great wish to help the world, and can also sacrifice himself to become benevolent and kill for righteousness, so his knife trick can be called "sacrificing his life".
According to this idea, his sword moves can be designed.
The crowd nodded their heads and was indeed inspired.
Zhou Yi continued to introduce.
For another example, Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, on the surface, this role should have the style of a king, the martial arts should be the dragon stick method, and the moves should be dignified and upright, reigning in the world, full of the majesty and domineering of the emperor, and the glory is unmatchable.
But at the same time, he secretly started trouble, conspiracies continued, and he lost his righteousness, so he had to integrate some ruthless moves into his stick method, not completely above board, and he could use the Shaolin stick method to integrate the four-door stick method to form a combination of yin and yang.
Here Zhou Yi wants to refer to the stick duel moves between Jet Li and Donnie Yen in "Huang Feihong (2) Men Should Be Self-Improvement" in his previous life, but he can't say it explicitly, so he can only remind him so simply that he can personally help design a few moves at that time.
As for the trick of Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, you can use the "one stick to the sky" passed down from the old eunuch Mi Youqiao, which is indeed invincible.
This move is called a stick to the sky, but it is extremely feminine, and it is the nirvana of the eunuchs of the inner court!
Here Zhou Yi draws on "A Stick to the Sky" in Wen Ruian's novel "Speaking of Heroes, Who is a Hero" in his previous life.
Overall, it's more appropriate.
There are so many good things in the previous life, you can learn from them anytime and anywhere, and you don't have to copy them as they are.
Zhou Yi doesn't have so much time and energy, he just needs to make a good movie to do those things. As for being a novelist, a musician, or something, it's all unnecessary. As long as these things serve the film.
In Zhou Yi's design, in the end, Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, fought against the black demon fox Zhihua's stick and knife battle, which was the Panlong stick method against the Jizo Honyuan knife, sacrificing his life to fight the knife to the sky, and both were defeated. According to this line of thinking, the martial arts group can completely open their brains, and the magic tricks are endless. Sometimes it's not that you can't find the right moves, it's that you can't get through the rigid way of thinking.
Zhou Yi's statement has indeed opened up a new design idea for everyone.
The martial arts moves of other characters can be designed based on this principle of thinking. Like Hua Chong's marksmanship, you can use a deadly lock throat gun; The hook method of the Great Sage Deng Che of the Divine Hand can be used with the parting hook method. Bai Yutang and Shen Zhongyuan's swordsmanship should follow the rivers and lakes, and there should be a clear distinction. The martial arts of the five rats must have their own characteristics. Zhou Yi doesn't need to go into detail about these one by one, he just needs to provide ideas.
And he explained the martial arts characteristics of the two protagonists very clearly, and left the rest to the martial arts group to plan and design, and he couldn't do everything himself. He doesn't have that much time and energy, and one person is short, and everyone is long.
Zhou Yi really needs everyone to work together.
Don't look at the previous action design of the martial arts group is not ideal, but it doesn't mean that they are not capable.
Zhou Yi only needs to remind him at the right time to help everyone open their minds, the people in the martial arts group are not stupid, they are all professionals, and they will definitely be able to bypass. Other designs are not difficult. They can do it perfectly and don't have to worry about it at all.
In these previous designs, Zhou Yi used a lot of things from his previous life to piece together, but he definitely didn't think that this was a tyrannical thing, and he wouldn't feel a pity at all, as long as he could make the movie wonderful, what else did he care. There are also many wonderful works in this life, and there is no need to supplement them with works from the previous life, waste is waste, there is nothing to be reluctant to, it doesn't matter at all.
After this discussion, Zhou Yi established his prestige in front of the newcomers in the martial arts group.
Everyone admires Zhou Yi very much, and feels that although the boss is young, he does have real skills.
Director Zhao appreciates and is very satisfied with Zhou Yi's statements, and thinks that this design is very brilliant.
Director Huang Huacheng is even more inspired and has a lot of ideas.
However, in this way, the lines must be changed accordingly.
In this regard, Director Zhao will communicate with the screenwriting team, so there is no need for Zhou Yi to worry about it.
Next, Zhou Yi performed some Shaolin stick and four-door stick fighting actions for everyone, as well as some classic knife designs from previous movies for your reference. In this way, the martial arts group will definitely be able to design more exciting fighting moves.
Zhou Yi's skills are so beautiful, the typhoon is excellent, and the master's demeanor is fully displayed, perfectly reproducing some of the classic fighting actions of Jet Li and Donnie Yen in the movie in the previous life, which is amazing and breathtaking.
Everyone applauded at the scene, and the atmosphere was very warm.
That's all there is to the movement design.
Zhou Yi has already pierced this layer of window paper, and the rest of the things are not difficult to do.
The design must take a lot of time, and it will take a lot of work, but there will be enough time. This is a low-cost film, there is no need to run around the country to shoot, all kinds of scenes are filmed locally, and it will definitely be filmed in a month, which will not take much longer than "Five Poisons", these scenes are not difficult to shoot.
The summer vacation lasts for more than two months, and if you count the preparations, you will definitely be able to finish the filming.
In fact, the filming time of the TV series is tight, after all, there are 40 episodes to be filmed, and the time is really tight.
But the movie side is more relaxed.
Everyone slowly designs the play, and must keep improving.
Director Zhao and Zhou Yi discussed another topic at this time.
It is the time of the final battle, in order to balance the strength of the positive and negative sides, the patrol must not let Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, participate in the war, otherwise with the strong strength of Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, the balance of strength of the two sides will be broken at once, and it will definitely not be able to play.
So what means does Yan Chasan want to use to force Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang? Relying on martial arts, it definitely won't work. Regardless of whether Yan Chasan will be martial arts or not, it will definitely be far inferior to Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, and it will definitely not be able to stop it by relying on martial arts. According to the screenwriter's setting, he wants to use a hidden weapon.
What kind of secret weapon is it?
The three screenwriters are not specialized in writing martial arts novels, so they don't have any good inspiration in this regard, and they don't write in detail in the script, so they leave blank spaces and let their colleagues in the props team plan and design by themselves, as long as the power is huge and can't be avoided.
This time the props team is in a dilemma, they also have no good ideas, and they do encounter some difficulties.
Although they teamed up with the art team to make some hidden weapon designs, none of them were satisfactory.
Director Zhao sent their design plan back and told them to redo it.
Now seeing Zhou Yi, Director Zhao remembered this matter, so he asked Zhou Yi what he thought and asked for his opinion.
Zhou Yi suddenly had an idea, and he immediately had an inspiration.
He moved out the "Peacock Feather" of the Gulong family in his previous life, and he would definitely be able to bluff Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, with this kind of thing.
Director Zhao was interested.
Zhou Yi spoke in detail for him.
There are more than 360 kinds of hidden weapons in the world, among which the most successful and terrifying is the "Peacock Feather".
From the outside, the Peacock Feather is a glittering cylinder made of pure gold, with two hubs on it, and when the hub is pressed, the hidden weapon in the cylinder will fly out. It is said that when these hidden weapons are released, they are as beautiful as a peacock opening the screen, and they are brilliant. However, just as you are dazzled by this amazing life, it has already killed you.
Legend has it that the Peacock Feather is made by the strange man "Peacock King" recruited by the Imperial Palace, and its edge is built with the meteorite iron of the Tianshan Mountains, which is indestructible, unbreakable, and only one in the world, which is the royal self-defense of today's son.
Now Bao Xiang invited this thing, which is specially used to restrain and cut off Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang.
Regarding the origin of Peacock Feather, of course, Zhou Yi has to make a lot of changes, and it is impossible to make Peacock Villa like the original book in his previous life, which is not in line with the logic of the plot. Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, recruited strange people from all walks of life, how could he not know this kind of domineering secret weapon in the rivers and lakes? Only the things used by the imperial palace can make sense and deter Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang.
This kind of thing must not be a Jianghu product.
That would definitely not be much of a deterrent.
In fact, this story was planned and fabricated by Yan Chasan in advance to scare King Xiangyang, which is purely a bluff.
The peacock feather in his hand is also fake and cannot be launched at all.
There is no such thing in the world.
But Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, was really frightened and didn't dare to do it for a while.
Yan Chasan used such a "murder weapon" to successfully force the king of Xiangyang, who was famous for his martial arts, which is logical, and it also reflects the strategy and wisdom of this character, so wise and brave, he is worthy of being the best candidate and proud protégé sent by Bao Xiang to patrol Jingxiang.
This arrangement has a very dramatic effect, and it can highlight the charm of the character, at least Zhou Yi thinks it is very good.
Director Zhao listened to it and was very satisfied, and recorded it with his mobile phone, and sent it to the screenwriter to facilitate the design of the corresponding lines.
Zhou Yi was able to come up with a solution so quickly, his thinking was so quick, it was incredible. Everyone admired.
This dilemma is a satisfactory solution.
If people in the previous life read this script written by Zhou Yi, they would definitely feel that there was a hodgepodge of all kinds of things. But the point is that people in this world don't know about it, and they may find it interesting, so that's it.
Regardless of whether he is a hodgepodge or not, it must be very good and good that these things can be famous in his previous life.
Now this movie is mixed with a lot of classic designs of Gu Long, Wen Ruian, past life online texts and action movies. Although the skeleton of the movie is still the skeleton of the old work in the previous life, the flesh and blood have changed, and it is not the flavor of the previous life at all.
Zhou Yi is a complete take-it-or-leave-it-it-ism, just use it all, and he will definitely not be embarrassed.
