For the first time in charge of Ah Hu's movie action design, Yuan De and Yuan Kui said that they were under a lot of pressure, for this more than a week before the start-up, the two of them did nothing, and they had been making moves at the base, and each time they completed a set of actions, Wang Xiaohu was overlooked, and at first the two of them were restrained, Wang Xiaohu also knew that this was caused by the lack of confidence of the two, and it was also the impact that he had invisibly caused in Qixiaofu and even the entire action world over the years, and few people had an axe in front of him. [No pop-up novel network]

Therefore, in the process of Yuan Kui and Yuan De's tricks, Wang Xiaohu generally rarely speaks, and only when he encounters some action designs that he can't stand anymore, he will speak.

"Akui, Ade, the action you designed just now is very good, but it will seem a little out of place in our "Hong Xiguan", and it will cause damage to the overall style of the film."

"You think, our story is set in the early Qing Dynasty, and the actions of the characters should coincide with the background of the times at that time, so the action design should be biased towards traditional kung fu, rather than this kind of straight fist whip leg line attack and tight defense of elbow and head guard, the action designed in this way is good-looking, but it is like a modern free fight staged in the Ming Dynasty."

Wang Xiaohu tried his best to slow down his speech speed and try to be as inspiring as possible, just like the fight between Ma Ninger and Hong Xiguan at the beginning of the two of them just now, the props of both sides have been listed in detail in the script: deadly throat lock gun, arm tied to steel claw, Wang Xiaohu asked this scene to show the martial arts and weapons of both good and evil people through body language, so that the audience can know who is the good guy and who is the bad guy through a face.

However, Yuan Kui and Yuan De gave up the use of weapons, and designed a large number of movements as fists and feet, which seemed somewhat nondescript, saying that he used the words of inspiration to point the two senior brothers.

"Oh, we see."

"Let me think about it."

When the two senior brothers heard this, they immediately fell into deep thought, at this time Wang Xiaohu couldn't say anything, of course he could design this fight from memory, although it may not be exactly the same as the action of the original, but it could grasp the core concept of it. But now he wants the two senior brothers to form the habit of loving and diligent thinking.

After all, the action design requirements put forward by some directors are not very high, such as Zhang Che's requirements must be masculine and violent, and the actions in the film often appear "shirtless", "disc battle", "five horses splitting the corpse" and so on full of cruel and tragic atmosphere, Hu Jinquan is represented by femininity, "Ling Bo micro step", "arc action plus straight line sprint", "endless running" in the film are all in the performance of the character's beautiful momentary shape, rhythm and beauty, as well as the artistic conception of the action scene.

As for Wang Xiaohu, on the basis of continuing Bruce Lee's real fights, he will carry forward this real style, and the actions of several movies he made when he was reborn may not be exaggerated or fancy, but each movie will well mobilize the audience's emotions, giving people a feeling of fists and blood.

At the same time, he also created the genre of kung fu comedy, the original version of "Hong Xiguan" because director Wang Jing seems to focus more on commercial and comedy components, Wang Xiaohu also appropriately retains this aspect, but the real surname of the fight is infinitely magnified, so fundamentally speaking, this version is more inclined to the synthesis of comedy kung fu and real fighting, which can be regarded as a major breakthrough in Wang Xiaohu's film career.

Some things must be said, and the words are unreasonable, but there are some things that you know the result, but you can't say the answer, because once you say it, you will lose all meaning, and the training is not necessarily only for future stars, but also focuses on martial arts instructors and action actors.

Wang Xiaohu has not forgotten his roots, and he also knows that he is in a hurry at this time, so he is very patient to wait, waiting for Yuande and Yuankui to gradually find the trick, fortunately, the two senior brothers did not disappoint him, they thought for half an hour, and then set out a few more actions, this time the designed actions are basically consistent with the storyline, but there is still a little bit of agility.

"The arc movement of the weapon, and then consider the meaning of the move of the poisonous dragon piercing the heart drill" Wang Xiaohu proposed a new thinking link with a smile, you must know that this is a very popular action in the whole film, in addition to the "Foshan Shadowless Feet" and the two actions of the thousand-armed Guanyin jumping up and sitting on the trolley and breaking out the hidden weapon are the highlights

Because it was the first time to put forward the concept of action director, Wang Xiaohu also wanted to make this position that could not be ignored in the film industry become an instant hit, so after the start of "Hong Xiguan", the crew and actors were divided into two teams of literary drama and martial arts by Wang Xiaohu for filming.

The division of labor between literary and martial arts scenes does not mean that they are filmed together, but Wang Xiaohu decided to shoot literary drama or martial arts drama first according to the scene storyboard script, so that when filming literary drama, the martial arts instructor can not be present, and when filming martial arts, the director can go back to drink tea, and how to combine literary drama and martial arts drama is a headache for action directors and directors.

In "Hong Xiguan", Wang Xiaohu wears two positions, so he doesn't have his share in the good thing of doing a good job of throwing off the shopkeeper and playing idle after the plan is apportioned, not to mention that he is still a male lead, and his share of literary drama and martial arts drama is indispensable.

"Brother Tiger, which one will you shoot first today?" Li Hanwei, who had just been promoted, ran over and asked.

Li Hanwei asked whether to shoot literary drama or martial arts drama first.

Wang Xiaohu touched his nose, and the location of the start of the film was selected on an ancient street about 30 meters long on the Shaw Brothers studio, according to the progress of the script, the filming of the literary drama will be completed here: Hong Wending, who grew up on the "top" of Hong Xiguan's head, passed by, and by the way, he led to several plots of red beans selling himself to bury his mother and Ma Dashan's coveting of red beans. The martial arts drama involved is: Hong Xiguan went to the teahouse to talk to his eldest brother, and when he found out that he was betrayed by his eldest brother, he killed people in the teahouse, and led to Ma Dashanren hiring bodyguards, so that the rest of the story went on logically.

In a few simple sentences on the script, several sets of shots are used to switch between literary drama and martial arts, that is, in the 90s, Hong Kong films were approaching the stage of commercialization and maturity to complete such a difficult shooting, in the minds of most filmmakers in 76 years, this shooting mode is the first time, so most people are confused about the division of action directors, literary dramas, and martial arts.

"Shoot the martial arts part first, and start shooting from the confrontation in the teahouse." After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking to Li Hanwei, he walked quickly to Xie Xian's side and said, "Fourth brother, have you finished reading the script?" ”

Xie Xian is a Hong Kong film and television actor, known as the "fourth brother" by the industry because of his fourth ranking, the young people call him "Xie Laosi", and the older generation calls him "Ah Kidney", and is called "the handsome guy who is not old" because of his handsome image and stylish appearance.

Xie Xian plays Hong Xiguan's eldest brother in the film, and there are not many scenes before and after, and the martial arts action is also based on sneak attacks, so in line with the principle of preparing for "Shooting the Condor", Wang Xiaohu hired the fourth brother who had just finished filming "The Rich Family" to help, after all, the fourth brother has a pseudonym, and he can be regarded as having some box office appeal in the circle.

"Just a few lines! It's easy to get it! "Xie Xian, who has just entered his forties, looks particularly hearty, and he does not have the steadiness of his unconfused years at all, giving people a feeling of being full of firepower." What's more, Ah Hu, the salary you give is not low, just say a few lines and cooperate with a few actions, to be honest, I really have to thank you for enhancing my popularity. ”

Xie Xian has not been very glamorous in recent years, in the early 70s, he founded the Xie Brothers Film Company, directed "The Narrow Ladder" for the first time, and then directed or screenwrote seven films, and once formed a team called the Silver Rat Team, which was popular all over Hong Kong and Taiwan, but in the mainstream of martial arts kung fu films, Xie Xian's film company was struggling, so sometimes Boss Xie would also take over the film as a free person, starring in many Hong Kong and Taiwan movies.

"The Rich Man" is Xie Xian's masterpiece to earn pocket money, Xie Xian expressed a high interest in being invited by Hollywood's best director Wang Xiaohu, after all, this young man has created a film dynasty that everyone can't reach in just four years, and being valued by him is definitely a huge progress in the actor's career.

"The fourth brother is really modest, and I still rely on the popularity of the fourth brother." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

Xie Xian is very comfortable now, at least Wang Xiaohu does not have the stinky temper of other big directors, he is modest, and his speech sounds very speculative, there is a feeling that you are always the key character in the film, and it also makes him pay attention to this villain who has appeared for less than a minute.

"Where did Ah Hu say, you are humble, don't forget to take care of my job in the future."

"Definitely, definitely!" Wang Xiaohu said that it must be an ironclad thing, and after a few polite words, he and Xie Xian began to talk about the role, and the first cooperation should naturally be serious, and whether the acting skills of any character are in place is also a link that Wang Xiaohu pays attention to, because these old drama bones will play the finishing role in the film

"Big brother, we are brothers, even you betrayed me!" Wang Xiaohu sat on the bench with his head bowed, with a serious expression of slightly sad and indignant, and said these words slowly.

Xie Xian grabbed the "Deadly Throat Gun" and snorted coldly, and said with a disdainful smile: "People die for money, this can only blame you for being stupid and going against the imperial court." ”

"Fortunately, I recognized you in time" Wang Xiaohu still looked so cool, and at the end he actually laughed: "Damn, it's too much of a test for me." ”

It can be said that in this play, Wang Xiaohu always has to talk about the play with this cold poker face, sometimes it really makes him very embarrassed, just when this scene is filmed, he laughs n times, and this time it is NG again.

"Take a break." Wang Xiaohu helplessly grabbed the fake braid in his hand and fiddled with it, and said to Jet Li, who was watching the whole process on the side: "Zhengdong, how do you feel?" ”

"A little nervous." Jet Li said honestly.

"It's okay, you'll treat it as if you're participating in the national martial arts championship later, and you have very few movements in your first scene, so you basically don't need acting skills." Wang Xiaohu comforted, but Jet Li didn't think so, he only knew that this was his first time acting, everyone was very professional, only he was a newcomer, and he only had to act hard to win the recognition of the master and everyone.
