Chapter 62: Choreography

The recruitment conditions are clearly written in the column, requiring flexibility, preferably one of taekwondo, karate, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, street fighting, boxing, and kickboxing. But this kind of writing is actually very vague, and Liang Xiaolong even thinks that writing is equal to not writing, because everyone who comes thinks that he is flexible, even if he is as stupid as a bear.

Now, half an hour later, all seven places are still empty. In fact, Liang Xiaolong is not strict in picking people, these opponents in the film don't need any acting skills, as long as they can fight, but because there are too many people coming, and they are all messy, so far I haven't seen a qualified candidate.

Ida couldn't help but laugh first: "Boss, this is definitely the most interesting interview scene I've ever seen." Liang Xiaolong glanced at her: "Interesting, then you can continue to enjoy it, today's interview will be handed over to you, select some people to come out, and retake the test tomorrow." Ida smiled bitterly: "Boss, you are not so irresponsible." Liang Xiaolong said with a smile: "I call it rational use of labor. ”

Liang Xiaolong's choice was undoubtedly wise, and when he came to the company the next day, Ida complained to him: "Boss, you have no conscience, and I was busy until six o'clock yesterday afternoon." Liang Xiaolong smiled: "It's okay, I can still cook dinner for your husband when I go back." Edadseer said: "Our family, like yours, practices feminism. ”

Isn't this scolding yourself for being a family cook again? Liang Xiaolong glanced at her indignantly, and got down to business: "How many people were selected yesterday?" Ida said: "Thirty-two, most of them have practiced these martial arts." Liang Xiaolong said: "Very good, are they all here?" Ida said, "There are still four missing." Liang Xiaolong asked, "Did you inform them of the retest time?" Ida said, "Nine o'clock." ”

Liang Xiaolong looked at the time on his phone, at nine and three o'clock: "Start the retest, all the ones who haven't come are eliminated, I don't want this to happen when the shooting starts." Still in the rehearsal room, Liang Xiaolong asked twenty-eight people to come in: "There are only seven characters, and there are twenty-eight of you in total, which means that three-quarters of the people will be eliminated." Those who can boxing stay first, and the others wait for a while. ”

Boxing is extremely popular in European and American countries, and there are many people engaged in this industry, and many people can also use a few hands, so half of these 28 people stayed. Liang Xiaolong didn't mind: "Come one by one, just play empty, I will pick out the actors I want." A tall man raised his hand, and just wanted to say something, he was suppressed by Liang Xiaolong: "There can be no problem, you just need to do what I say, and it will be the same on the set in the future." ”

The director is the soul of the set, if you find a few actors who can't command yourself, then the director won't be able to do it.

The key to boxing is punching, flashing, gear and pace, which is not complicated, and Liang Xiaolong's conditions for selecting actors are also very simple, as long as you can play with strength and beauty, then congratulations, you have been admitted. Fourteen people fought in turn, Liang Xiaolong found that several of them were good, and finally Liang Xiaolong chose the strongest one, with a height of one meter nine, two hundred catties, and tendons and flesh. The reason why Liang Xiaolong chose him is also very simple, using his tall and burly to set off Wu Jing's Zhongzheng peace, and defeating such a tall and burly strong man can also better reflect the power of Chinese kung fu and be more visually impactful.

Liang Xiaolong asked, "What's your name?" The strong man said, "Yale." Liang Xiaolong said: "Very good, you have been admitted." Don't be discouraged by the others, if you know how to do other martial arts, there's still a chance to stay. Now, those who know taekwondo stay, and the others wait outside the door. Liang Xiaolong opened the door again: "People who know taekwondo come in, and the others will wait a while." ”

Yale plays the boxing heavy gunner, Kim Dae-chuan plays the taekwonkaze legs, Rukawa Mu plays the empty hand boxing king, Mi Kun plays the Muay Thai elbow king, Rokdo plays the Jiu-Jitsu iron wrestling king, Oak plays the street fighting street fighter, and Qiao Sen plays the UFC champion, among which Jin Dachuan, Rukawa Mu, Mi Kun and Roktor are from Han, Yuben, Thailand and Brazil respectively, and the reason why Liang Xiaolong uses them is very simple, because these four martial arts skills originated in these four countries and are played by actors from these four countries, and the film is more convincing.

The seven actors are all found, and the other black boss is played by the white Murphy and the black Jos, and the hip-hop team is played by the Thunderbolt team, plus the leading actors Wu Jing, Jessica and Liang Xiaolong, the cast is complete. But Leung also needed to find a cameraman, editor, choreographer and music producer.

Carl also brought good news to Liang Xiaolong, Anna has agreed to choreograph for "The Bride Is Not Me" and "Black Fist", and will come to the company tomorrow, and we will talk in detail when the time comes. In addition, Wu Jing and Jessica are also ready, waiting for the film to start shooting: "The choreographer is solved, and there are also photographers, editors and music producers. "Music producers can postpone and find them, but cinematographers and editors have to find them first.

Photographers, needless to say, can a film be shot without a photographer? The editor is a faithful embodiment of the director's creative intention, and must participate in the director's regular work to formulate the post-editing plan. Thinking of this, Liang Xiaolong hurried to Julia's house again: "Danny, you have to help me again this time." Before Danny could speak, Julia was in a hurry: "No way, he has to be the photographer of "The Bride Is Not Me". Liang Xiaolong smiled bitterly: "Sister Big Mouth, I'm in a hurry to start filming here, so you can let it go." Besides, both films were shot in Los Angeles, and they didn't say they were going to tear you two apart. ”

Liang Xiaolong didn't know other photographers, and he worked with Danny once, so he knew that Danny had a very sensitive ability to capture action shots, which was suitable for "Black Fist". Moreover, Danny is also an excellent editor, with him personally involved in the shooting, Liang Xiaolong does not have to interfere at all in post-production, and he can give himself more vacation.

But Liang Xiaolong said that Julia just didn't let go, and Liang Xiaolong simply ignored her: "Danny, the shot of "The Bride Is Not Me" is relatively simple, and it can't show your ability at all. Moreover, you have a very keen intuition for action shots, and "Black Fist" is the stage where you can show your talents. Danny agreed: "It's true that Black Fist is a better fit for me. Julia picked up the two pillows and greeted them individually: "You two bastards, you're mad at me." ”

The next day, Liang Xiaolong met Anne in the company, and in the memory of his previous life, although Anne still has charm, she is over forty years old after all. But now she has just run for the third time, her figure is still very well-proportioned, and she is well maintained, and her body exudes the unique temperament of a dancer, with a trace of gentleness in her nobility.

"Anne, it's a pleasure to work with you." Liang Xiaolong shook hands with her: "With you choreographing, the highlights of the early stage of the film will be highlighted." Anne smiled: "You have more confidence than myself, but don't worry, since I take this job, I will do my best, what do you want from dancing?" ”

"I don't know about "The Bride Is Not Me", but the dance at the beginning of the "Black Fist" film has to be integrated into kung fu, and the Thunderbolt team has rehearsed a kung fu street dance before, why don't you go and see it, and then talk about it in detail?" Dancing is a thing that Liang Xiaolong is a layman after all, and he can't express it clearly in words.

In the large rehearsal hall, the members of the Perak team are teaching Wu Jing and Jessica to dance street dance, the two of them have been training for more than ten days, and the dance is already a bit of a street dancer. Of course, this was not enough, and when the film started, they had to sacrifice some of their free time to rehearse the dance with the Perak team.

Liang Xiaolong clapped his palms and motioned for everyone to stop first: "Guys, this is Annie, the choreographer of the film, and you will be conducted by her next." Anne greeted everyone, "Hello, I'm Anne Fletcher, and it's a pleasure to work with you. After saying hello, Liang Xiaolong said again: "Guys, let's give Anne a performance first, just the kung fu street dance you choreographed some time ago." ”

The kung fu hip-hop performance is very exciting, and Anne also likes this crazy dance, but as a professional dancer, she still easily sees the shortcomings: "It's a wonderful performance, but the transition and integration between kung fu and dance seem rough, and if you don't grind off these edges and corners, you can't be considered a first-class performance." Liang Xiaolong has nothing to say about this, he is not professional after all: "These are up to you to design, but I still want to incorporate more kung fu elements into the dance, and I will show you." ”

Liang Xiaolong is proficient in Bajiquan, Wing Chun and Chan Tai Chi, but he also knows some other types of boxing, but he is not proficient in it. Among them, Liang Xiaolong's most suitable boxing to integrate into street dance is pictographic boxing, which imitates animal forms not only has strong actual combat ability, but also has a strong ornamental surname.

Liang Xiaolong first hit the snake boxing, monkey boxing, and praying mantis boxing, and then changed to drunken boxing, which is also a type of pictogram boxing, but it is not an imitation of animal form, but the drunkenness of a drunk. A wonderful kung fu performance won applause from everyone, and Anne also praised: "Xiaolong, the performance is awesome, and integrating these kung fu into the dance will definitely resonate with the audience." Liang Xiaolong smiled: "It's good to have a look, what do you think?" Anne said, "Yes, I already have a clue, but I feel that there are fewer animals to imitate, otherwise I can make up a dance of all beasts." ”

Liang Xiaolong and Wu Jingjing laughed: "Annie, this is too simple, dragon, tiger, leopard, chicken, duck, snake...... I'll know a little bit about boxing, so I'll show you now, and you can write down the types of punches you need to use. After Liang Xiaolong performed one by one, Anne already had a general idea: "Xiaolong, I can't remember these kung fu at once, so that you can come and choreograph with us in the future." Liang Xiaolong thought about it carefully, but still refused, as soon as the film started, even if he had free time, he had to arrange the shooting plan for the next day, and he couldn't spare time at all.

However, Liang Xiaolong is not worried, Wu Jing has practiced martial arts for more than ten years and knows all kinds of boxing very well, with him and Annie, there is no need to worry about the quality of this dance.
