The first episode of "Ip Man" let the audience see that a generation of martial arts masters can be so polite, humorous and elegant, in addition to the story surname Qiang, the martial arts action continues the real kung fu style, its biggest hero is Wang Xiaohu and Ip Man during the filming of the life together for half a year. 【Reading.com】

When filming the first episode, he had already thought of filming the second episode.

Therefore, after practicing, Wang Xiaohu asked questions and Ip Man answered.

Even with the success of the first episode as a foreshadowing, Wang Xiaohu never dared to take it lightly, which also had several revisions to the script during the filming of the second episode, and at the same time he paid more attention to the details of Ip Man and even on it, for which he referred to countless Cantonese films in the 50s, and interviewed many old people of the year, such as Jin Yong, Run Run Shaw, Shen Zhong and others, of course, more to communicate with Wing Chun Gate Wong Chun Leung and Bruce Lee, these are his efforts to further play the role of Ip Man.

So you can see Wang Xiaohu in and out of the play, every move and gesture is like a person in the 50s, wearing the gray gown and walking in cloth shoes, which is particularly eye-catching.

"Ah Zhi, why do I feel like Ah Hu is a demonic obstacle?" Lin Qingxia said: "It's like when you were filming "Myth", you were wearing that Han Dynasty straight saw robe dangling in front of my eyes. ”

Zhao Yazhi smiled when she heard this, and said, "It's fast to enter the play like this." After all, it took ten years to shoot the second part, and Ah Hu needed to be brewed all the time to bring in the role. ”

"I will finish filming all the fight scenes in two days, and the rest of the time will be dedicated to literary dramas, and I still have to shake back and forth with a big belly every day."

"Do you still need to go through such trouble?" Lin Qingxia looked at Zhao Yazhi in surprise, stroked her flat lower abdomen and said: "If you want me to say that you might as well fake a show and get pregnant again, you see how lonely Jiaen is, add a younger brother or sister to him, not to mention the excitement at home, it still looks festive, and your conditions are not that you can't afford to raise it." ”

Zhao Yazhi shook her head with a smile and said, "One is enough for me and Ah Hu to have a headache, and Ah Hu doesn't have this idea at the moment." ”

"I don't understand you." Lin Qingxia sighed and said

Wang Xiaohu sat in the director's chair and was supervising Zhang Yuan and Zhang Shuping, who were busy with the set progress on the set.

At this time, the filming of Sammo Hung and Schwarzenegger's fight scene has been completed, and Wang Xiaohu and Schwarzenegger's fight scene must be completed as soon as possible, so that the highlight of "A Stick of Incense in the Tea House" is left in "Ip Man 2".

Because of this arrangement, it is also to leave Sammo Hung a chance to recuperate, Wang Xiaohu does not want the senior brother to play with him at the round table with a "patch" at that time.

Wang Xiaohu watched it for a long time, and suddenly frowned and said to Zhang Shuping: "Shuping, come here." ”

"Brother Tiger." Uncle Zhang, who was talking with Zhang Yuan, hurriedly walked over.

"Shuping, I feel that the set you are designing now is a little wrong." Wang Xiaohu thought about it and said: "The set of the last fight between Sanmao and Arnold in the ring was very exquisite, and you inlaid some boxing nostalgic posters, photos of Western boxing champions and boxing matches into frames of different sizes, which made the movie characters enter a foreign world that does not belong to the Chinese, and there was always a feeling of being overwhelmed when they were in it." ”

Zhang Shuping heard Brother Hu's praise, and immediately smiled, you must know that the last set was only done after he pondered for a few days and nights, and later he also specially asked boxing champion Ali to verify many aspects of information, and according to Wang Xiaohu's requirements, he made the taste of the prototype of "black market boxing".

As soon as the "small ring" set ended, not only did Wang Xiaohu nod and praise, but even boxing champion Ali said that if some small settings of "gambling boxing" were removed, the scale of the world boxing club in the 50s would be seen just by relying on old photos.

In the script, Wang Xiaohu gave only one sentence: focus on highlighting the luxury of foreign society and reflect the oppression of Chinese by foreigners.

Zhang Shuping excavated a lot of naval uniforms of the United [***] crew at that time from the old footage, and worked hard to study the living customs of the United Army stationed in Hong Kong in the 50s, so as to design the scenery and costumes that satisfied Wang Xiaohu.

"In the script, this is a formal ring match, and you are right to think of it as a stadium or a grand theatre, but at that time Hong Kong did not have such a wide stadium or area, so the scene had to be readjusted." Wang Xiaohu continued.

"Huh?" Zhang Shuping was dumbfounded: "Brother Tiger, but isn't the scene set in the script on a luxury cruise ship, I think those joint [***] in Hong Kong will definitely have training grounds of a similar scale in addition to leisure places, right?" ”

"That's what the script says, that's right." Wang Xiaohu said: "But the starting point of the script is to make this ring match more solemn, and the British, Americans and other foreign devils, as well as the Chinese martial arts community will participate." ”

The final battle of "Ip Man 2" is based on Sammo Hung being disabled by Schwarzenegger, and he once again made disrespectful remarks at the press conference of the boxing king's public apology for this matter, so as to trigger the Ip Man universe played by Wang Xiaohu, and officially challenged the boxing king in front of many Chinese and foreign reporters.

The quality of its ring surname has changed substantially compared with the previous one, and it is appropriate to describe it as "small ring" and "big ring".

Now it is necessary to arrange the "big ring", as the name suggests, it is a bigger ring than the small ring, and it is also the large-scale action scene of the last game of "Ip Man 2".

Zhang Shuping fell into contemplation all of a sudden, it seems that he still hasn't understood the script, otherwise Brother Hu would not have put forward an "incongruous" suggestion.

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Shuping said, "Brother Tiger, can you design this place as a banquet hall for foreigners?" ”

"Banquet hall?" Wang Xiaohu frowned slightly.

"Yes!" Zhang Shuping's mind flashed, and he hurriedly added: "Combined with the late decorative art style of lamps and lanterns, there are a lot of strong vertical lines, huge strokes, glass windows, etc. around the ring, by the way, I can innovate on the basis of "The Warrior's Journey" and "Rocky" directed by you Brother Tiger more than ten years ago!" ”

Wang Xiaohu didn't understand Zhang Shuping's addition, after all, he was not from a background in set and costume art, and he listened to many professional terms for a while, waved his hand and said: "Look at it, in short, it should give people a spectacular and grand feeling, and set off the atmosphere of the film's ultimate battle." ”

Uncle Zhang nodded hurriedly and agreed, filming with Wang Xiaohu is definitely an unprecedented test, you must always study the script, often communicate with the director, executive director, and action director, and fully understand what costumes and scenes they want.

At first glance, it sounds quite complicated, in fact, Zhang Shuping feels that it is more pleasant to cooperate with Wang Xiaohu, "Shooting the Condor" allows his brain to fully operate and greatly expands the setting of costume dramas, and it is foreseeable that after "Ip Man 2" is completed, his professional experience and value in the circle will gradually increase.

Zhang Shuping spent half a day thinking, and then submitted the new scene layout to Wang Xiaohu for review.

This time, Wang Xiaohu didn't say anything, and patted Zhang Shuping's shoulder and praised it.

"Yes, if it weren't for your reminder, I'm afraid I would have forgotten to properly match the flash of the reporter group." Wang Xiaohu said.

The cameras of the 50s are all antiques, and they still stay in taking a photo to make a scary "explosion" and flash effect, and the dazzling effect of the flash strengthens the strength of Ip Man's heavy punch, which can intuitively let the audience enter the world of Ip Man and feel his indomitable spirit fighting alone in the ring.

"Very good, let's hurry up and arrange it according to this design plan." Wang Xiaohu said: "By the way, the rest is the scene of the teahouse and Ip Man's living quarter, you remember to submit the design plan to me in advance, and I will tell you the specific requirements in the next few days." ”

Zhang Shuping nodded "oh", full of enthusiasm and Zhang Yuan went to work.

When organizing the set, Wang Xiaohu did not let the crew be idle, and arranged for Yuan Heping to go out to shoot other plots related to the ring match, such as this scene has a large number of descriptions of foreign audiences, and the former judges and other matters around the ring, of course, there are many supporting roles who rely on the radio to cheer for Ip Man.

All of this is to enrich the atmosphere of the decisive battle in the ring, as well as the kind of scene where the whole Hong Kong people support Ip Man.

The distinction between big and small rings is not only a big difference in the set, but also a big adjustment in the martial arts action, Wang Xiaohu's requirement is to shoot the two ring matches with their own characteristics.

After the crew was busy, Wang Xiaohu caught the big man Schwarzenegger alone.

"Arnold, come, while there is no official filming yet, the two of us will make a move first!" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

Schwarzenegger hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this: "Boss, you better let me go, I heard Ali say that your boxing skills are very powerful, and I don't want to be abused." ”

"Uncle, let you fight according to the set routine, and it's not a real fight with you!" Wang Xiaohu jumped to his feet and scolded his mother depressedly, the dignified "Terminator" was as timid as a mouse at this time, what kind of world is this.

Regardless of whether Schwarzenegger wanted to or not, Wang Xiaohu still forcibly fought with him, and after a few times, Schwarzenegger finally found some feeling and fought with Wang Xiaohu in good spirits.

So in a corner of the set, Wang Xiaohu, who was wearing a gray gown, and Schwarzenegger, who was only wearing big pants, frequently exchanged tricks.

Schwarzenegger did not fight according to the set action several times, but was easily resolved by Wang Xiaohu, and the two tossed for most of the day, and the tired Schwarzenegger was out of breath.

"Man, usually you have to hide on the set to press your legs, hit the punching bag, and keep your muscles in the best condition, otherwise"

"How else?" Schwarzenegger asked hurriedly.

"Otherwise, you'll just learn to be fancy." Wang Xiaohu sneered and said: "Not to mention learning Chinese kung fu with me, one minute on stage, ten years off stage, you are from bodybuilding, you should always understand this truth, right?" ”
